fwenty-Eighth Year.[ SNAPPY. When we told you that Our Young Men’s Clothes for spring 1906 would be the smartest and snappiest styled line ever designed exclusively for young men, it wasn’t brag. It was just ourfrank, plain-spoken opinion aroused by the striking swaggerness of the clothes themselves, When we tell you now that our words of praise couldn’t have done full justice to the betterment of these, our Young Hen’s Clothes, over other so called young men’s lines, it isn’t HERE CLAIM, but the circumstantial evidence in the case. That our Young Men’s Clothes are really the right garb for the knowing young men’s trade, is evident by the heavy sales we have had on them this“season.

EMPEROR’S REPLY ANXIOUSLY AWAITED Reply Is Made to Speech From the Throne. EMPEROR’S COURT IS DAZED The Issue Now Raised Is Not Likely To Be Decided Quickly—Policy of Government Will Be To Gain More Time. St. Petersburg, May 18.—The criti cal moment which will decide whether there will be peace or war between the crown and the people apparently ar rived with the adoption by the lower house of parliament Thursday night, of its reply to the speech from tiie throne. President Mouromtzeff lias gone to Peterhoff to present the reply to the emperor, and his majesty’s response is awaited with great anxiety. Popular opinion considers that the goveinment has no option between surrender or war. Nevertheless, while events during the past week followed each other with extreme rapidity, the issue now raised is not likely to be decided quickly. The Russians generally believe that the emperor’s court and government undoubtedly have been dazed by the blunt, direct fashion with which par liament has spoken out and their pol icy naturally will be to gain time. The emperor personally is in a be neficent frame of mind and for the present will not listen to the councels of those who advise him to dissolve parliament and fight. Nevertheless, he is resolved not to yield anything like all that parliament demands. It safely can be predicted, therefore, that he will pursue a temporizing policy with partial amnesty as the first sop thrown to the country. The consti tutional democratic leaders, whose pro gram would be upset by the dissolu tion of parliament, are quite as anxious as the emperor to avoid the precipita tion of a conflict. They would regard the failure ol’ the government to de clare war as a big preliminary victory, of which they would take advantage by forcing through their agrarian pro ject, on which they count to strength en themselves in the country before the final battle begins. That the court reactionists, headed by General Trepoff, are seeking in every way possible to influence the emperor to fight, is apparent by the discovery made by the Rech of a se cret circular sent to the governors in structing them to have the “Black Hundred” organizations immediately dispatch to the emperor protests against amnesty and the abolition of the death penalty. These have been flowing into Peterhoff from all direc tions, over 50 being printed in the Of ficial Messenger today. Dispatches from the interior report demonstrations in front of the prisons in all parts of Russia in favor of the release of the political prisoners. At Simferopol troops surrounded the prison where the political prisoners were confined. NOSE CHANGES. They Are Gradual and Imperceptible, bat Continuous. Don’t worry about the shape of your baby’s nose if it Is a snub nor be sure If it pleases you by its regularity that it will be the nose that will grow up with it, for scientists have observed that no feature changes more as life progresses. The length of the nose Increases so much faster than Its breadth that the snub nosed baby may evolve a long, even hooked nose. This change In the shape of noses is gradual and imper ceptible, generally more expeditious in the male than in the female, correlated with various other characteristics, such as Intellectual attainments or weak constitution, and producing different results. During maturity and senes cence the bridge of the nose becomes more and more prominent, often more convex, so that extreme old age may even develop an aquiline nose, so that one need never despair of possessing a satisfactory nose at some period of his life if he only lives long enough. But, like so many other blessings that are deferred, the right kind of a nose may arrive too late to affect one’s fortunes or Observe Memorial Day. Norfolk, Va„ May 18. —Friday was observed as Confederate Memorial Day in Portsmouth, Va., where the feature was a parade in which civil war veterans of both the Union and the Confederate sides marched togeth er and the Grand Army of the Repub lic veterans assisted Confederates in decorating the graves.

FOREST RESERVE FOR THE SOUTH Favorable Report Oordered On w Appalachian Bill. MEANS MUCH TO THE SOUTH Proposed that $3,000,000 Be Immediate ly Available for Purchase of Lands. Many Southern State* Will Be Ben efited by the Bill. Washington, May 18. —By a unani mous vote the house committee on ag riculture has ordered a favorable re port on the hill providing for the pur chase of a national forest reserve in the southern Appalachian and White mountains. Similar action has been taken by the senate committee of for est reservations and the bill will be placed upon the calendars of the two houses of congress. Substantially the legislation recom mended by the bill is that urged by the American Forestry association, the national board of trade and other or ganizations. It authorizes the secre tary of agriculture to purchase or otherwise acquire lands in the Appa lachian mountains within the states of Maryland, West Virginia, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Geor gia, Alabama and Tennessee and in the Whit® mountains within the state of New Hampshire and to administer these reservations under the laws gov erning such reservations. There are provisions for purchase of lands, exclusive of timber or miner al rights, aceptance of gifts of land and reforesting clearings wherever necessary for protection of soil or wa ter supply. An appropriation of $3,000,- 000 to be immediately available is proposed. An approximate area of 17,500 square miles comprises the Appalach ian region, with a length of 350 miles and a width varying from 35 to 65 miles. It is not proposed that the reserve shall embrace any considera ble portion of this section, nor that any part of the reserve shall lie con tiguous to all the others. Discretion is left with the secretary of agricul ture to purchase such lands as may be readily acquired and will prove adap table to the purpose. This Is a region of mountains and Includes the most- prominent geograph ical features of the southern states. Mount Mitchell, in North Carolina, is the highest peak having an elevation of 6,712 feet. Over forty peaks and 6,500 acres of land lying in the Blue Ridge and Unaka* mountains have an elevation of over 6,000 feet, while the whole region has an approximate al titude of 2,500 feet. It extends from Maryland south westward and lies between the Pied mont plateau on the southeast and the Appalachian valley on the northwest. It consists of parallel chains of moun tains, the Blue Ridge and the Alle ghenies on the southeast, and the Unaka mountains oh the northwest, with a mountainous -table land lying between. Prevailing trend of the system is from northeast to southwest on Grandfather mountain. In the Blue Ridge are two springs within a few feet of each other, the waters of one flowing north find their way into the Mississippi, while the other, flowing •west, forms the headwaters of the Yadkin, which flows southeast through North and South Carolina and empties into the Atlantic ocean.

Necessary in P«,ace and War. Washington, May 18.—“ The San Francisco disaster, the Japanese fam ine, the eruption of Vesuvius and the recent typhoon in the Philippines, all have given the Red Cross an opportu nity to show its usefulness and have demonstrated that a relief organiza tion is just as necessary in peace as in war,” said Miss Mabel T.

One of the curious consequences of the modern division of labor is the cramp that attacks those who constant ly use their hands in one particular manner. Writing cramp was the first to ap pear, being quite unknown until the in troduction of steel pens. It affects men far oftener than the fair sex, and, sin gularly, those who suffer are not liter ary men, but copyists. It is almost in curable, and even when the left band Is used the cramp very soon crosses over to it. Musicians of every kind are attacked. Among pianists it is chiefly ladies am bitious to become professionals who are the victims. Violent pain, weak ness and fatigue of the arm make play ing an Impossibility. Violinists are af fected both In the fingers of the left hand and the hand that holds the bow. Clarinet players get cramps of the tongue, and flute players get cramp in the larynx. Telegraphers suffer very often, and they call it “loss of the grip.” Tailors get cramps in legs as well as hands. Smiths and carpenters get what is called “hammer cramp,” resulting from the enormous number of blows struck. It Is estimated that a forger of knives and scissors strikes 28,000 blows every day. Drivers get cramps in the hand, espe cially in the case of those who break in hard mouthed horses. Cigarmakers, watchmakers, photographers, auction eers, sawyers, billiard players, dentists, turners, stampers, weavers, painters, money counters and ballet dancers—all suffer from their own peculiar cramps and often so. severely that they have to exchange their employment for some other.

Nunnally Quits Race. Newnan, Ga., May 18. —Dr. G. A. Nunnally, of Coweta, pastor of the Sec ond Baptist church of Newnan, has announced his retirement from the race for governor. He urged his fol lowers to throw their influence on the side of Judge Dick Russell, whom he declared stands for the principles he advocated. The action of the state executive committee in refusing to adopt a measure prorating the vote of each county in convention, in accord ance with the respective strength of each candidate in the primary, is giv en by Dr. Nunnally as the chief reason for his withdrawal. He stated that the plurality rule adopted was unfair to his candidacy. Bricklayers Get Increase.
