PRESIDENT NEWMAN OPPOSES SYS EM By Telegraph to The Hernia. New York, June 22.—President Newman, of the New York Central Suva he nlwavB opposed the eighteen hour train, believing that twenty hours was fast enough. Japanese Diplomacy. The following compliment to Jap- anese diplomacy la from the Boston News: “From present indications Japan bids fair to prove an adversary as for- mldahle In diplomacy as in war. For fifty years Russa has been noted for her cunning diplomatic negotiations, and Russian statecraft ns applied to foreign relations has been the admir ation of foxy statesmen. She has got the better of almost every en counter. In the peace-negotiations with Japan which have practically begun, she seems to rave met her match at last. Japan has played her part with ad mirable skill—withholding her hand entirely, ami compelling Russia to make every move totally in the dark as to her intentions. She has given no intimation of either the approxi mate amount of Indemnity that will he edmanded or territorial concession required; in fact, of none of her peace terms. Rhc now demands that Russia shall specifically and categorically stato the exact measure of authority dele gated to her so-called "Plenlpotentlar* les," lest after the arduous negotia tions, the Czar having meantime greatly strengthened his military es tablishment, and "taken breath," so to speak, If the terms agreed upon should he more onerous than expect ed. might repudiate the whole agree ment and begin the war with fresh vigor, appealing to his people to re sist unreasonable demands. Sho Is playing the game with consumate cau tion and evidently docs not Intend to take chances of losing any of the sol id fruits of her victory as sho did by compulsion after the war with China In 1394. Meantime the world will watch this battle of diplomacy with almost as much Interest as they did the clash of arms. Table Decoration*. High floral ornamentations on the dinner table are neither fashionable nor desirable. They obstruct the view and make conversation difficult. The choice of flowers for the center piece may be limited to the resources of the hostess. Flowers, foliage <or berries that are In season are In good taste, care being taken in selecting flowers to have one prevailing color. Blossoms with a heavy fragrance should be avoided, as the perfume Is oppressive. If flowers cannot be eas ily obtained, a Jar of growing ferns, not too tall, is very satisfactory Ask THE HERALD shout any kind of printing. | The Girl I Met in Georgia. Way clown South in Georgia I first met Minnie Lee. ’Twas her sunny laughter That captivated me. She had golden tresses; Was happy, bright and free; No girl ever equaled This darling Minnie Lee. Little “Laughing Water” Could not with her compare. She is like the sunbeams A-sparkling in the air. Bright, congenial spirit. That's bubbling o’er with glee; Never knew another Just like this Minnie Lee. She just scatters .sunshine All up and down life’s way, Makes each soul feel happy Through the live-long day, Withe her smile so winning. There’s none so blythe as she— The girl I met in Georgia. Sweet, laughing Minnie Lee. —T. J. Nicboll. Couldn't Reach the Big One*. The Rev. Francis .1. McConnell, pastor of the Now York Avenue M. E. Church, one of the lending church es of Methodism, tells a good story on himself, repeating it publicly ns well. He says that on a recent busy Satur day morning a man who had a scheme to promote anil who was no doubt sent to him by one of the church members paid a visit to him and took a whole hour of his time tell ing him of n scheme in which ho took no interest whatever. After listen ing to him as long as he could, pa tiently, he said to the promoter: “How in the world did you get, at me anyhow. I have no interest or pa tience with what you 'propose, and we are both losing time." “Well, I will tell you," said the pro moter. “I cannot get access to the high grade preachers." Help for the Living. ** - The notice of the funeral of Mrs. Jacob A. Riis contained the request: “Friends are requested to send no flowers, hut give the money instead to the poor." That is worth think ing about and acting upon. If the spirits of our dead look hack at us, will they not rejoice more at the sight of hungry ones fed and naked ones clothed than at the sight of costly flowers withering to decay upon their tombs? The smiles of those to whom the opportunity to smile is seldom given: the rejoicing of those to whom the opportunity for rejoicing seldom comes—these will be more welcome tribute to the memory of the dead than all the flowers that might he heaped upon their graves.—Bryan’s Commoner. It requires much less philosophy to take things as they come than to part with them as trey go. AsIc THE HERALD about any kind of printing. The Vicious Vagrant. From the Savannah Press. Capt. S. P. Gilbert, Solicitor Gen eral of the Chattahoochee circuit, suggests an amendment to the Cal vin vagrant law, which will shift the burden of proof from the state to the defendant, after a prlma facia cuise of guilt has been made out. The sugges tion is a good one. It Is hard enough, save in excep tional cases, to convict of the crime of vagrancy. The defendant although it is impossible for him to show he has an honest and reputable means of support, claims with plausible ear nestness, that he has made an effort to secure employment and that his condition is the result of untowered circumstances ho has not been able to control. This Btntoment the prose cution cannot directly rebut and the immediate consequence is a verdict of acquital. The indirect and more serious consequence is the addition of another member to the rank of the vicious unemployed. It. would he no hardship on the de fendant to require him to show that he has made an honest effort to se cure work. The shifting of the bur den is analagous to that which occurs in homicide cases, when the state has once shown that life has been taken deliberately. To prove mitigating circumstances then becomes the func tion and duty of the accused. There are too many idlers and va grants in Georgia, whose presence is a constant menace to the peace and good order of the communities In which they live. They should be put to work, or else forced to leave the State. The amendment to existing laws suggested by Mr. Gilbert seems to contain the germ of the proper remedy. POINTED PARAGRAPHS. Telephones have saved the gossip peddlers many a step. A prosperous year is one In which many mortgages are raised. It's better to waist paint on an old house than on an old woman. If you place your clock at the head of the Rtalrs, It might run down. If a man calls on a woman she is pleased—either when he comes or goes. Dress Is sometimes a matter of form and form is often a matter of Brevity is said to be the soul of wit, hut the man who Is short doesn't feel funny. Most people are more anxious to share their troubles with others than their good luck. There are times when a man does- noi want things to come his way bills, for example A wise doctor always gives a pa tient something to brace him tip be fore presenting hls bill. When a man tells yon that further argument Is unnecessary It means that he has r*tached the end of his string. A woman will forgive a man any thing during courtship, but she'll not forget to throw It up to him after marriage. ETERNITY. What lies beyond this dreary waste, This troubled train of years, This life of ills and discontent, Of sinfulness and tears? What lies beyond the pallid peak. Where mortals pause for breath, What hope have wo for after life. What recompense for death? What lies beyond those azure skies, Those shining peaks above. For, those nil worn with worldly toll, Those hungry for Hls love? Forioon we all—the weak, the strong Tfc^,graven' and the brave, Hl^rN T nlllll#iii dun<b a common gift And heritage—the grave! We do not know! But God Is Just. Beyond those golden gates He sits in Judgment on our deeds, All headless of the fates. And If we heed Him and believe Hls rulings for the best, We’re sure to have a crown of love, An eternity of rest! —Ernest Camp, In Dublin Times. The Man Higher up. When grafting boodlers are exposed And civic corruption Is disclosed; When city officials take to flight. Spurred on by an Increasing fright, All the blame Rosts on the name Of the man higher up. When bribes are brought to taw, Each accused of breaking the law; When committees run all about Bent on chasing the guilty out, Then it’s time To fasten the crime On the man higher up. It’s an obi and succesful trick, Worked by rascals, nimble, quick, They will accuse the other fellow, Though their own complexion’s yellow It’s easy to see The culprit must be The man higher up. —Paul Cook, In Birmingham Age. Say* Clark Howell Will Sweep State. Hon. Madison Boll, of Atlanta, who Is to deliver the commencement ad dress at the public school this morn ing, arrived In the city yesterday and Is the guest of J. D. McCartney on Hansell street. Mr. Bell who repre sents Fulton county in the legislature. Is In close touch with the political situ ation there. He says that Clark How ell will carry Fulton county beyond doubt Mr. Bell has delivered several commencement addresses during the last few days, and says that he finds the Howell sentiment equally strong everywhere. He predicts that Howell’s majority I over Hoke Smith will be a record breaker.— Thomasvllle TiinesEnter- prise. Silence Is one thing you can’t name without breaking It.
