ROOSEVELT WOULD ACCEPT NOMINATION. New York, Jan. 23. — Colonel Theodore Roosevelt announces to day that while he is not a candi date for the presidential nomina tion, he will serve his country if needed, according to The Even ing World. The announcement was made in the public reception room of The Outlook offices to James Yurann, of Blue Rapids, Kans., in the presence of two newspaper men and several em ployees of The Outlook. Mr. Yurann came to New York es pecially to see Mr. Roosevelt. The colonel, in response to the appointment, met Mr. Yurann in the public reception room, and, according to The Evening World, the conversation took place. The conversation follows: “I have come all the way from Kansas to congratulate you,” said Mr. Yurann. “I know you cannot ass ord to seek the nomi nation and I congratulate you upon your stand.” ‘‘l am not a candidate,” replied the former president. ‘‘l am not seeking it. I will not ask any man for it.” ”1 have told all my friends in Kansas and other parts of the West,” Mr. Yurann went on, ‘‘that while you are not seeking the nomination you are a patriot and will serve your country if needed.” “Most assuredly,” replied Col. Roosevelt. After the colloquy Mr. Yurann said lo the newspaper men: ‘‘lt means that Colonel Roose velt is going to be the nominee. He cannot refuse the demand that will go up for him.” NOT ALWAYS TRUTHFUL. Supreme Court Justice Gerard, who held court in his Fifth ave nue residence only one day and is now back in Special Term, Part 1., heard a motion yesterday to dismiss a suit by the city of New York to recover $1,900 of back taxes from the estate of Calvin 1). Baldwin, the polo p layer. Nathan B. Chadsey, appearing for the Baldwin estate, was in dignant over an int imation by his opponent that some lawyer had submitted an affidavit in the case that was not true. "This lawyer belongs to the most exclusive society in this city,” said the attorney. "Well, that doesn’t preclude the possibility of his committing perjury,” replied Justice Gerard. "And I might add also that he is a lawyer of the highest stand ing at the bar,” continued Chad sey. "I know of fifteen lawyers who are now in jail,” retorted the court. He reserved decision. HOLE DISAPPEARED WITH FISH. Tarry town, N. Y., Jan. 22. "Ever hear of a fish jumping itr to a hole in the ice and pulling the hole in after him?” asked Bub Wicks, a local fisherman, to day of a friend. "Well, that’s what happened to me last night. I went over to the Tarry town lakes to enjoy my luck and sawed out a nice round hole in the ice. 1 dropped in the line and sat down beside my lan tern to await developments. "After a while 1 thought I’d start a small tire to keep warm, j 1 had the tire nicely going when I heard a fish flopping on the ice. | 1 looked and by the lantern light 1 could just see a big fellow i ping around. All of a sudden it | disappeared and when 1 got out to where the lantern was the bole had disapj>eared. Now this! is what happened: "1 had placed the line under the round cake of ice to hold it fast. The line had frozen lo it and when the fish ' in one of its leaps landed into the water it just pulled that cake of ice after I it and dosed up the hole. Hard luck, wasn’t it?” Good two-horse farm for rent A. B. Hutcheson. Mt Vernon, Ga. RABBIT DEFIANT. WAS I SHOT ON SUNDAY.; When a negro is walking along j a rice field bank with a gun and a Big rabbit comes out of the bushes and stands up on his hind legs with a look of defiance, that’s too much temptation for the hunter. This is the way Recorder Schwarz considered the matter this morning in the case of Lin zie Richardson, colored, who was arrested yesterday for hunting on the Sabbath on Hutchinson Island. Richardson had killed a rabbit a short time before he was arrested by officer Schreiber of the Seaboard Air Line. In police court this morning Richardson told of having been walking on the bank when he saw the rabbit, and declared that he just had to shoot him. Recorder Schwarz dismisssed the negro. Savannah Press. FOLSOM’S SABRES. There died in Atlanta a few days ago a man whom the papers there alluded to as the pioneer of that city. He went to Atlanta from Maine when the town was Marthasville. He set up a black smith’s shop, which when the war broke out had developed in to a wagon factory. He was a strong worker and a clever builder. In spite of the fact that he was from New England he promptly cast his fortunes with the Confederacy and became one of Jefferson Davis’ right hand men. He was a blacksmith, to be sure. He did not shoulder a musket; everybody couldn’t go to war; and there was important work at home. L. B. Folsom knew it. He began to collect all the scrap iron and bits of steel and make them into firearms. What the Tredegar iron works were doing to mould cannon in Richmond Folsom of Atlanta was doing in his humble way. The Bible commends the man who beats his swords into plowshares. But Folsom took the plowshare and hammered it into swords lit erally. Many a brave trooper of Wheeler’s cavalry must have car ried these weapons, and it was related that an Atlanta admirer presented General Forrest with one of them, which he bore throughout the war. Think of Forrest, the most dashing fighter of our army, the man who made the cavalry raid formidable, who first solved the problem of fight ing his cavalry as dismounted in fantry, waving one of Folsom’s home-made blades with the grace of Murat and the fury of Morgan, the terrible raider. Forrest was not a beau sabreur, but he had many elements of knighthood. It was said that he had the largest head and the smallest foot of any man in the Southern army. He made history and shattered the plans of his opposers on many a field and personally ’fieshed fleshed Folsom’s swords in many enemies. Now and then he used the flat side on the laggards in his own camp. Is we had had more Forrests and more Folsoms I ,it might have L>een better. Sa vannah Press. SOMETHING NEW IN VERDICTS, A Wheeling (W. Va.) lawyer says that he has heard many queer verdicts in his time, but; the quaintest of these was that brought in not long ago by a jury , of mountaineers in a sparsely settled section of that state, says Harper’s Weekly. This was the first case for the majority of the jury, and they sat for hours arguing and disput-' I ing over it in the hare little room iat the rear of the court room.! At last they straggled back to j their places, and the foreman, a' | lean, gaunt fellow, with a super latively solemn expression, voiced the general opinion: I “The jury don’t think that he ; done it, for we allow he wa’n’t ; there. but we think he would have done it es he’d had the | ehanst.” Cabbage plants for sale at Mrs. Abt's loarding house court week.

Asj part of the entertainment, they ; joined with enthusiasm in the S plans of their hostess to give a I pretty wedding to a favorite: young girl of the neighborhood. The most dapper and punctilious I of the city youths volunteered to be "best man.” "Now,” he explained to the stalwart groom, "you just give me the fee you have arranged for the minister and I’ll have it in my vest pocket ready to hand to him.” The rustic giant shook with laughter. "You won’t be getting it into your vest pocket!” he chuckled. "It’s a little pig I’ve been fattening for the parson. ” PROHIBITIONIST TO PLEAD FOR INTERSTATE LAW, At least one man or woman from every county in Georgia as member of a committee to go to Washington on January 29 in the interest of the Kenyon-Sheppard interstate liquor bill, now pend ing before congress, is the plan of Georgia prohibitionists. The committee, which promises to be the largest that ever went from Georgia to the national cap itol, will leave Atlanta over the Southern railway at 11 o’clock Monday morning, January 29. The bill will come up for discuss ion on January 30th. The committee will be headed by such leaders as Mrs. T. E. Patterson of Griffin, president of the Georgia Woman’s Christian Temperance Union: Dr. Len G. Broughton, Hon. Seaborn Wright, Dr. H. M. Dubose, of Augusta, and others. "On to Washington” is the slogan of the leaders of the com : mittee. The committee will have no limitations as to numl)er, and Mrs. T. E. Patterson, of Griffin, will make arrangements for spe cial rates for any one who will join the party. Prohibitionists declare that the | passage of the Kenyon-Sheppard j bill will do more for their cause , than any other possible legisla tion. Mrs. Patterson states that she will have the assistance of Senator Hoke Smith and Judge S. A. Roddenberry in its efforts | to secure the passage of the bill. —-Atlanta Journal. Money to Loan.
