Evidently lust night was a good
time for burglars in Waycross. Three
places were entered during the night
and over two hundred dollars worth
of goods were stolen.
The thief, or thieves, broke into
WaycrowS Book Store and carried off
between $50.00 and $75.00 worth of
Jewelry and a splendid rain coat which
Dr. Paine left in the store when he
closed up last night. An entrance to
the building wts gained by removing
one of the window-lights in the rear
of the store. After ransacking
place and getting what he wanted, the
burglar left by the back door, the key
being on the Inside. He also carried
off the key, leaving the door unlock
ed. •
Mr. J. R. Knight's music store, next
to Dr. Paine's. was also entered;
where the thief got a good coat Mr.
J. S. Knight had left in the office. Mr.
W'. C. Harvard’s insurance office is
in the front room of the store and a
drawer to his desk, which only con
tained some papers, was forced open
but nothing disturbed. An entrance
to the music store was effected by the
breaking of a hole through a pane of
glass In the rear door, the key being
on the Inside, the thief evidently reach
ed In and unlocked the door.
The store of the R. J. Anthony Hard
ware Company, on lower Plant avenue,
was entered by breaking out a portion
of the plate glass In the front door.
Here the rogue secured two Winchest
er rifles and about eleven fine pistols.
The value of the articles stolen from
the hardware store will amount to
ubout $150.00.
The operations of the burglars was
probably carried on during the heavy
down pour of tain, which drowned out
nny noise they made in accomplish
ing their work. Some think the steal
ing was done by the negro convict,
Joe Davis, who escaped from the
chaingang day before yesterday.

Household Hints.
If it is absolutely necessary to use
the soap in a public toilet room take
the precaution to let the water run
over it before using it on hands. Skin
diseases are easily and often con
tracted by means of soap, and any
danger may be averted by taking the
trouble to wash the soap.
Don’t pack clothes in a trunk which
has not been used for some time with
out airing the latter; It may have been
lying in a damp corner.
To keep moth and buffalo bugs from
rugs and carpets, sprinkle them well
with salt, then wipe with a cloth damp,
ened with warm water having spirits
of turpentine added in the proportion
of a spoonful to evevry quart of water.
Water should never be put on gilt
frames. They should be wiped with
dry cloth or chamois. This applies to
ail metal and lacquered goods.

Judge Callaway’s open letter to Mr.
Smith takes up two columns and a
half in the Constitution, anl reviews
and justifies the unonlmoirs action
the Democratic ExjJcutive Com
mittee, which consists of 35 members
chosen by the last state convention,
which was dominate 1 by the Smith-
Gray element. Without vituperation
or abuse, Judge Callaway mercilessly
exposes Mr. Smite’s inconsistencies
and concludes with thisexhortation:
“No one has the right to object to
you changing your estimate of Mr.
Watson and his political doctrines, for
your political convictions are ‘Jfour
own, and you have the right to sur
render them or to change them as
often and as suddenly as you please,
but when you see fit to laud Mr.
Watson when canvassing for a dem*
acratic nomination, and in tee same
speech to denounce and ridicule prom
inent democrats for the purpose of
securing 23,000 populist votes in a
democratic primary, haven't you pas
sed the limits of a Jecent propriety
tn the change of convictions?
“If you succeed in getting these
23.000 votes by abusing your party
and perpetuating the former partisan
bitterness among our people, who
should be reunited in the democratic
party, will their votes be worth to
you the price yon are making the
people of Georgia pay for It?"
Sultan's Gift of a Lion.
(From the Tatler.)
A good story is told of the late Sul
tan Burghash and Sir John Kirk, then
consul general at Constantinople.
The sultan had a very savage chain
ed lion, and as a happy thought he
offered it to Sir John for Queen Vic
toria, reminding him that the lion
formed one of the supporters of the
royal arms above the gate of the Brit
ish consulate, and that the presence
of the real brute would therefore be
appropriate.
Alive to the jest, Sir John capped
It and at the same time escaped the
necessity of accepting such an un
pleasant gift.
“I am sure that your highness would
never make an incomplete present,” he
replied, “and when you are able to ac
company the lion with a unicorn I
shall be delighted to receive your
munificent offer.

Hard Political Fight.
Savannah, Ga., May 23.—One of the
hardest fights ever held in Savannah
for a Citizens Club nomination came
to an end last night when Mr. C. He
Carson, was made the nominee of that
organization for Treasurer of Chath
am County. He will oppose Col. War
ing Russell who has behind him a re
cord for forty years unbroken victor
ies. Mr. Carson and Major J. R.
Stewart had fought hard within the
party lines for this nomination. Mr.
W. W. Osborne is supposed to have
been for Mr. Carson. The hid gentle-
mna. he must be sixty-five—will make
a good race. It will be a battle royal
between him and Col. Rusell.
Carson is the father of Mr. J. A. C.
Carson, a prominent banker and naval
stores exporter.
New York, May 23.—The story of
Josephine Terranovas’ life has been

I expressed generally in court this
j morning. There will be a battle of
experts today and tomorrow over fact
of girls sanity or insanity, but that Is
even now looked upon by court formal
