FALL AND EVACUATION OF lAr.
1SSA IS ANNOUNCED.
END OF WAR IS NOW PREDICTED.
A Probability That the Powers Will In¬
tervene to Stop Further Blood¬
shed—Greeks Despondent.
The Turkish legation at Washington
has received the following dispatch
from the minister of foreign affairs at
Constantinople, confirmatory of the
press dispatches of the fall of Larissa.
The dispatch was duted Sunday, the
25th:
“Larissa has been occupied today
by the-cavalry of the Ottoman army.
The Hellenic troops fled in disorder,
abandoning a great quantity of arms
and ammunition.”
The legation also received the fol¬
lowing dispatch from Constantinople:
“The imperial troops took in Tyr-
navo a great quantity of rifles and
ammunition for cannon aud rifles;
also provisions. The Greek soldiers
who were taken prisoners were sent to
Elassoua. The village has been sur-
sounded by a military cordon.
“Ottoman patrol make continual
rounds and efficient measures have
been taken to prevent any depre¬
dations. The wise and proper be¬
havior pf our troops has been tbe
subject of admiration of the foreigners
who are on the spot.”
Rejoicing; at Constantinople.
The triumph of the Turkish arms
has caused the liveliest satisfaction at
Constantinople. The following tele¬
gram from Edhern Pasha is posted ev¬
erywhere.
“Laiissa was occupied today by tbe
cavalry of the imperial army. Tbe
Hellenic troops fled in disorder, aban¬
doning a large quantity of arms and
ammunition. ”
This has been put as a l nllpVin in
many places, while the people are also
reading Edkem Pasha’s dispatch an¬
nouncing his possession of a strategic
position on front of Tyrnavo.
Beginning; of the End.
A cable dispatch from London says:
What seems likely to be tbe last week
of W'ar was entered upon Sunday. It is
difficult from tbe tangle of conflicting
telegrams to understand the exact po¬
sition of affairs.
Following the Greek defeat at Larissa,
London opinion today is almost unani¬
mous that the end is in sight, and this
view is probably shared by tbe powers,
as they are already moving to inter¬
vene.
It is believed that intervention will
first take the form of a suggestion of
armistice, to which the combatants
would no doubt agree. Sijice yester¬
day afternoon the British foreign for¬
eign office has been in close communi¬
cation with the other powers of the Eu¬
ropean concert, Great Britain suggest¬
ing that the time has now arrived for
them to act. The French, German
and Italian governments have already
responded, offering to agree, though
the German government adds as a
condition that it would be necessary
to exact a pledge from Greece to obey
the mandate of Europe when this man¬
date is again given.”
The British foreign office believes
that Greece will give this pledge, as
the disaster which has overtaken her
has demonstrated that Turkey still
possesses aformidable fighting machine
—a fact which must have a sobering
effect upon the popular demand for
war at Athens, and which will permit
tbe Greek nation to climb down with¬
out disgrace, after a,superb vindica¬
tion of the personal courage of the
Greek troops aud a gratifying demon¬
stration of Hellenic patriotism.
REAR ADMIRAL MEADE ILL.
Retired Naval Officer May Recover From
Present I.ow Condition.
The condition of Rear Admiral Rich¬
ard \V. Meade, retired, who has been
ill in Washington for some days,is not
so favorable. About ten days ago he
was operated upon for appendicitis.
Until Sunday an improvement was no-
ticeable.
During the afternoon he had a chill,
which left him in a weakened condi-
tion. From this there was some rally
during the evening. He is very weak
and takes liquid nourishment. '
CYCLONE FLAYS HAVOC.
Several People Injured and Property De¬
stroyed In Michigan.
A special from Omer, Arenac county,
Mich., says that,a cyclone struck that
town about 5:30 o’clock Saturday even-
ing, completely demolishing the store
of W. R. Clowston, whose residence
was also torn down.
Mr. and Mrs. R. H. tlagley were
blown sixty feet iuto the air, and both
are fatally hurt. Mr. Clowston re¬
ceived a serious scalp wound, and is
thought to be fatally injured.
The cyclone lasted but a moment
and was followed by n terrific rain.
The cloud was funnel-shaped aud took
a northeasterly direction.
THREE NEGRO BOYS CREMATED,
They TVere Looked In While the Mother
Goes Visiting.
A special from McIntosh, Ala., says
three negro boys named Baird were
cremated at a logging camp near there
"Wednesday.
The mother locked them in a shanty
which the family used as a dwelling
and went for a few hours'" visit to a
neighbor. When she returned she
found the house, together with her
children, burned to ashes.
RESULT OF COURMARTIAL.
The Atlanta Artillery Company It* Prac¬
tically Disbanded,
Captain Joseph F. Kompton, of the
Atlanta Artillery, has been dismissed
from the military service of Georgia,
forfeiting all pay and allowances due
him as witness or otherwise.
Sergeant Guy Thurman, Corporal
H. G. McCord and Private W. A.
Sanges are dishonorably discharged
from the service.
All other members and officers of
the Atlanta Artillery on trial are dis¬
missed. This verdict dismissed twen¬
ty-six men from the state service, prac¬
tically disbanding the company. Six¬
teen members only are left.
The sweeping decision of the court-
martial was handed down Saturday
night and the decision, printed in tab¬
ulated form, containing the charges,
specifications and pleas, were mailed
to every officer and private of the com-
pany by Captain Brown. The decis-
ion came in the nature of a startling
surprise to the friends of the Atlanta
Artillery. claimed that he
Captain Kempton and
had been treated badly by his men
was not guilty of the charges which
had been preferred against him. His
friends were of tile opinion that be
would be vindicated and that all would
be satisfactorily arranged. dreamed
The privates scarcely of
dismissal and the announcement will
cause a tremendous sensation in the
city among the companies in the
service of the state.
The story of the rupture in the
ranks of the Atlanta Artillery is one
with which the public is familiar.
Captain Kempton was disliked by his
men and there was no congeniality
among the members. Dissatisfaction
and discontent grew as time passed by
and mutiny arose in the camps. In¬
sinuations were strongly thrown out
by the men that they were not pleased
with their captain. Captain Kempton
turned a deaf ear to these mutterings
in the ranks and persisted in the com¬
mand of the company.
The fire was smothered for a time,
but only to break out afresh wifKt
renewed fury. The men talked of the
situation and the story would reach
the ears of their captain. Rumors
innumerable were afloat, but no change
was made in the command and the
battery held together until the charges
were brought, which resulted in the
courtmartial.

Two Appointments That Were Unexpected.
House Proceedings—Scruggs

Two genuine surprises were given
out to the office seeking contingent at
Washington Friday, Neither had
been hinted at, though now the guess-
ers are all'wondering why.
The first of these is the appointment
of Judge W. R. Day, of Canton, O.,
as first assistant secretary of state.
Judge Day is the president’s close
friend and confidential adviser.
Bellamy Storer is taken care of by
being sent as minister to Belgium; a
nice berth, but not the one he w anted.
These nominations were determined
upon and announced at the white
house Friday morning. The announce¬
ment has created a good deal of com¬
ment.
House Proceedings.
The desk of the late Judge Holman
Friday was covered with a black pall
of mourning, upon which were strewn
lilies of the vt ley and hyacinths. The
blind chaplain in his prayer referred
feelingly to the loss the house and the
country had sustained in his death.
Mr. Bland offered the resolution
which he attempted to offer last week
relative to the suits to foreclose the
first mortgage on the Union Pacific
railroad* calling on the attorney gen¬
eral for information as to what steps
had been taken to protect the interests
of the government so modified as to
strike out the clause directing the
speaker to appoint immediately the
committee on Pacific railroads.
The house adopted a resolution for
the appointment of a committee of
twenty-five members, of which the
speaker is chairman, to attend the
Grant tomb exercises Tuesday. The
house also agreed to take three-day
adjournments during the week with
the understanding that no business
would be transacted.
Republican Caucus.
The republican senators in caucus
have decided to accept the propositk n
made by the opposition for the filing
of the senate committees, leaving the
arrangement of the details to Sena¬
tor McMillan’s committee on com¬
mittees. The caucus also considered
the question of filling the relative of¬
fices of the senate, and the managing
committee was authorized to negotiate
with the opposition to the end of se-
curing a division of these places.
Colonel Scruggs Coming Home.
The state department has been in¬
formed that Colonel W. L. Scruggs,
the agent for Venezuela in the boun¬
dary negotiations, is brings on his with way back him

tween Great Britain and Venezuela,
which the Venezuelan congress has
ratified.

tucky joint legislative session Friday
the balloting was merely a formality,
The first ballot proceeded and had
no significant changes till the name of
Rev. Mr. Grider was reached. He
changed from Bennett to Deboe.
There were no other significant changes
though the anti-Deboe people scatter¬
ed to a field of new men. The ballot
stood: Deboe, 31; Holt, 1G, Evans,3;
Lewis, 6; Bennet, 4; scattering 9;
necessary to a choice, 36.
The adjourned republican joint leg¬
islative caucus met again Friday night
to attempt the nomination of Dr. Hun¬
ter’s successor, and Deboe was named

PETTIGREW CHARGES FRAUD.
Flies a Salty Minority Report on Perrlne
Band Grant Case.
Senator Pettigrew has filed a minor¬
ity report on the result of the investi-
gytion of the Perrine land grant in
Florida, conducted during the last
session.
He takes issue with th: majority
and contends that it is the duty of
congress to declare the grant forfeited
and of the executive department to
cancel the patents aud punish the of¬
fenders.
The report all expresses the opinion
that “there is both fraud and mistake
of fact of tho officers of the govern- -
meat in issuing tho patents. ”

most genial, will meet in Atlanta in
annual couveution Friday and Satur¬
day. They are the commercial trav¬
elers, and their annual convention will
be one of tbe largest that Atlanta has
entertained in some time. For months
past the local members of the associa¬
tion have been hard at work prepar¬
ing for the entertainment of the visi¬
tors.
The exposition building and fire en¬
gine house at Fitzgerald were burned
a few days ago. The loss is $5,000
with no insurance. The fire is sup-
jiosed to have been of incendiary
origin. The exposition building was
a large structure in which the corn
and cotton exhibit was held last year.
The fire department bnilding, which
adjoined the exposition building, was
also burned, The engines -were saved,

vention of the Christian Laymen
Workers’ Association will convene in
Waycross Friday, May 7th, and will

.T eftrs old and its memberhip has
ffown « mere handful to huu-
dreds and perhaps thousands. Ibese
people are, as a rule, plain and unpre¬
tentious, but faithful and true follow-
ers of the meek and lowly Nazarene.
The Merchants’ bank of Atlanta, is
ready to pay another 10 per cent to
creditors. The first payment was paid
several weeks ago and the second pay¬
ment, as per the agreement reached by
the receivers, falls due on May 1st.
The money lias been collected and is
now in the vaults of the bank ready
to be paid out upon the presentation
of the receiver’s certificate for the sec¬
ond 10 per cent. This payment which
is now almost due will put iuto circu¬
lation between $30,000 and $49,000,
and will bring the indebtedness of the
institution down to 30 per cent less
than it was on the day that the doors
were closed to business.

Two of the most important appoint¬
ments made by President McKinley in
Georgia were in the selection of dis¬
trict attorneys for the Northern and
Southern districts of the federal court.
Mr. Ed. A. Angier, the Atlanta attor¬
ney, was selected by the new' adminis¬
tration out of a large number of ap¬
plicants for the position. Mr. Angier
will no doubt ably fill the position
of attorney in the Northern district
and the appointment lias given general
satisfaction. The appointment of Mr.
Marion Erwin, of Macon, has met with
the hearty indorsement of the party in
his section of the state. Mr. Erwin
has been a loyal supporter ot the party,
and he will enter upon the discharge
of his duties under ^nost auspicious
circumstances.
THE HALL OF A HOUSE.
An Attractive Feature of the Mod¬
ern Dwelling.
In the furnishing of a modern honse
the hall constitutes one of the most
serious problems, but there is one
consolation. If one solves it success¬
fully the hall becomes one of the most
attractive features of the entire house.
It then ceases to be a mere passage¬
way, and beoomes a veritablo room,
and one whioh, strangely enough, will
be moro generally used than almost
any other in the house. In the con¬
ventional oity dwelling, when the hall
is long, narrow and dark, with a high

ceiling and a flight of stairs that
makes an unbroken sweep to the floor
above, very little can be done to give
a true artistic effect. If the front door
is of solid paneled wood a great im¬
provement will result from replacing
the upper panels with glass. This can
take the form of a sash of small leaded
panes in fanciful design, or a single
sheet of plate glass, protected by a
neat iron grill. The mistake should
never be made of using colored glass
unless one can afford a masterpiece of
genuine stained glass, for the ordinary
so-called “cathedral” glass is orude in
colors, and an abomination, The
hall staild or bat rack, which is of¬
ten found just within the front
door, should be vanished to some rear
corner, if it is to be tolerated at all,
where it will not be so much in evi¬
dence. These racks become “catch¬
alls,” and old coats, hats, umbrellas
and canes are not at all ornamental.
In place of these conveniences a broad
hall chair, of formal design, or better
still a mahogany settee, will serve
every purpose, These should be re-
served for the use of casual callers. If
there are no convenient closets that
can be made for the garments of the
members of the household, a neat
clothes tree such as are imitated from
the antique, will prove a great deal
more sightly than the hall racks that
are made nowadays. It takes up but
little room and can find a place in
some rear corner.

______UALL AND STAIIiCASE.
Under the best of conditions the hall
will be none too light, and this fact
should be borne in mind in
paper and carpet. The furnish¬
ings should be in light warm tones,
and only the most formal designs are
permissible. Few people seem to
realize the effectiveness of pictures in
the hall. It is customary to hang one
or two large frames on the side walls,
and allow the long stretch above the
stairs to go uncovered. In the latter
place pictures are needed, if anywhere
in the house, for there is no other way
in which the vast wall space can be
broken.
All of this has reference to the fit¬
ting and furnishing of the ordinary
city hall.
in the villa house the architect gen¬
erally plana a square hall that has all
the effects of an ordinary room. There
may bo windows on the side, an open
fireplace, and plenty of contrivances
that lend themselves to decorative
effect. Here the treatment should be
the same as in any other room, with
this restriction. The purpose of the
hall must never be forgotten. Easy
chairs and sofas will not be out of
place if they do not detract from the
iorrnal character, or do not obstruct
free passage. There should never be
a profusion of ornaments or bric-a-
brac. In a general way the hints as to
the city hall apply equally well to one
in the suburbs. A hall chair, or settee
should be placed in close proximity to
the entrance door, and the fittings of
the walls and ceilings should be in the
light, warm tones.

A Strong Snake Story.
The latest snake story comes from
South Africa. It is recorded in tho
Transvaal, pnblished in Cape Town,
as cold fact, that in Seliukinilnnd a
native ran across a boa constrictor
measuring about forty-seven feet,
which had just swallowed a young
koodoo buck, all except the horns.
The horns Btuck out on each side of
the reptile’s mouth. The native reo-
ognized the horns as those of a buck
he owned, and he ran and got stioks
and pinned the serpent, which was
dormant, to the ground. Then he got
hold of the horns and pulled and
twisted. He got the buck out inoh by
inch, until half its body showed, and
then it come with a jerk, and the boy
fell over on bis bock. Before he had
time to think twice tbe snake, re¬
lieved of his load of muttou, was upon
him, and it seized his head iu its
mouth and in three minutes the na¬
tive had taken the of tho buck,
only he was all inside; there was
nothing left out to pull on, even if a
rescuer had come along. Having
swallowed the boy the boa deliberately
swung its head around and grabbing
its tail swallowed eight feet of it,, then

SAM’S ORIGINAL AT) IRE.
-
Somewhat Different From the Mod¬
ern Figure.
The original (Jncle Sam of song and
cartoon was so different from tho
modern figure, with its long striped
„p*ntaloou3, that our readers will bo
interested to see the costume as soma
of the students of history say it should
be. In the first placo, say thesa
authorities, he should wear a high hat,
slightly bell crowned and of felted
fur. His shirt should be portrayed
with a frilled bosom projecting out,
pouter fashion, and generally with a
breastpin in it. His shirt collar should
be high and connected with hie shirt.

His cravat should be wide and tied
with a “pudding,” as it was termed in
former times. The waistcoat should
be a buffj single breasted affair, with
gold or gilt buttons. The swallow¬
tailed coat should be made with high
rolling collar aud high pointed lapels.
The greatest differenoe between
Uncle Sam as he is and as he should ba
lies in the pantaloons. They should
be made with a “trap door” iu front
and fitted below the knee for the wear¬
ing of the boots outside. These boots
should have tassels in front. Colored
shirts were unknown until about 1829.
Striped pantaloons are of a compara¬
tively late date, and straps under the
boots wore not kuown until 1825.
They were a part of the pantaloons
and were fastened on the boot in front
and buttoned under it. Goatees were
not worn until late in the 30’e.
The accompanying picture shows
the correct Uncle Sam of a century
ago, but times change and our good
uncle with them.
