Dr. Holmes urged that the tawmak-

to protect the girls of the land, and
should pass -laws prohibiting parents

The Autocrat of ifihs Breakfast Table
Mourned by Thousands.
Atlanta, Oct. 10.—(Special.)—'The
questtbn at registration or no regis
tration (for the congressional elections
next montth Is now the subject of se
rious attention In polttloal circles.
Judge Emory Speer's ruling that reg
istration was not necessary In congres
sional elections, because the registra
tion laws of the different counties are
not uniform, has led to on application
for the opinion of Judge Newman of
the northern district oh the same sub
ject.'
Dr. Felton, who is the Populist can
didate for congress In the .Seventh dis
trict, has written- a latter to Judge
Ne.vman requesting him to visa upon
the necessity of registration. Judge
.. Newman has, however, declined to give
v an opinion, except a- case is regularly
made in court, when it will receive h'is
prompt detention. This Dr. Felton will
probably do.
Judge Speer's deolslon and the clr-
cumslanctB under which It was ren-
~JI dered, are familiar.
I; is of tho highest importance thht
the question be settled one nay or 'the
oarer. In order to lavold the unseating
of the congressmen elected, should the
next irouse be Republican. It there
should be any ground at all- for tho un-
sef.tlng of the Democrats, the Republi
cans would quickly 'take hold of it.
It would give them a dangerous op
portunity if part of the Georgia dele
gation should be elected under regis
tration and others without registra
tion. '
It 13 quite a knotty problem. Tho
S^ s state committee will undertake to solve
Boston. Oct. 10.—lAndd a wealth of
flowers, the plain, black, cloth cbvereil

wore held.
They were conducted by the Rev.
Edward Everett Hale. D. D.. arid con-
slated merely of the reading of the
chapel service for tho dead and tho
singing nf psalms hv -It,'? choir. In the
chapel were gathered the relatives and
many frlnds and admirers of the poet,
and the ushers wore all his kinsmen.
All the seals In the middle ntale of
the chaDDl were lwrvej and occupied
by the poet’s Immediate family on l in-
timarte friends, memebns of 'the Massa-
oliustitjts Medical Society, representa
tives of Harvard College, and delega
tions from the other numerous societies
of which the -poert was n member.
After the service 'the body was taken
to -Mounlt Auburn and burled In the
Jackson lot. in ithe same grave in which
the wife of the poet was Interred. Only
the family and most intimate friends
wore present art 'the laat rite, which
consisted simply of selections sung by
It on Saturday. Every Democratic
candidate for congress In the state will
also be here tu discuss the matter.

(, niidred counties heard on the aub-
\per. give a majority of 1,000 In favor
of uncreaElnlg the number of superior

counties wot yot heard from can hard
ly overcomo this majority.
Five out of eight counties 1n the
Bl- rrtdge circuit—the circuit presided
oter .by.. Judge George F: Gober. one
of the candidates for the supreme
bench, and who made a special point
of urging his friends to vote for tho

Other candidates for the supreme

TICKET SCALPING LEGAL.
Bo Decides Judge VnuEpps In a Cnso
In Atlanta.
Atlanta, Oct. 10.—(Spodnl.Wudgo
VnpKpps, presiding in the city court
today, rendered a decision that will
bo haul'd with much satisfaction by
'the ticket scnlpors. .The effect of tho
dec Alim is to declare llio business of
ticket scalping 'egul and legitimate, de-
splto of tho light ronde on It by the
rallimd* on tho ground that tho busi
ness Is Illegal. The ca«u in point Is
where a passenger, A. H. Lorojoy, was
put off a Richmond and Danville train
bound for Wasliington, near Atlanta.
Lovojoy had a scalper's ticket that
hail been originally boM In Memphis.
Tile limit had not expired, but the rua.l
refused io accept it because It hud
changed hands. A verdict of $150 was
re'nirned for till plaintiff, under Judge
VunEpps' charge, that it made no dif
ference who'rode on a ticket so long
ns it was not out of date and the road
had been paid for It
INVALIDISM AMONG WOMEN.
Hai-d Study For Young filrU Is Bad,
Says Dr. Dolmas.
Atlanta, Oct 10.—(Spccial.1—Tho
physicians In attendance upon the au-
nual convention of tho Tri-State Med-
Ml Association were handsomely en
tertained by tho Capital City Club at
it reception tonight Society turned
out lu full dress and made the occa
sion a brilliant one.
At today’s session of tho convention
n number of highly interesting papers
were read and discusseu. Dr. J. U. H
llolmes, president of tho association,
presented a paper that touched a sub
ject of more than technical Interest
Ills discussion was on “.Some Cause
that Lead to the Invalidism of Wt
men.”
Dr. Holmes said that a great wren;
Is .lone SIS girbC'i,? lollay by martin
them to school before they can dre
themselves.
The reason there are so many women
Invalids was because t h oy study too
hard iu early youth, which weakens
their nerves or impairs their li-Milth.
Ho thought many women would ho
better off if they never saw the .aside
of a scaoirt room and were kept there
only long enough to stndy the blue
back speller and the elements of gram
mar and arithmetic and then trust for
an 'dueation to a future course

the r lives, which Injures them and
mains them invalids for life In many
Dr. Holmes believes that girts shonl,

ALTMAYER'3 RESOLUTION
Will Play Sad H-avoo With Many Mall
Boxes.
The resolution lntawdiKAl by Aider-
man Attmayer and adopted by council
Tuesday night, compelling tho Macon
Gal Ltg'ht nnd Water CcrnVpa-ny to re
move oil old lamp postB from the
streets, -will necessitate the removal
of about fifty mall ‘boxes that are now
attached to the aforesaid lump posts.
It -Is riot generally known, but It Is
nevertheless a fact, that rthe govern
ment does not provide posts for letter
boxes, and 1f the lamp posts are re
moved those boxes now atltiohc'd to
-them must necessarily be removed un
less the citizens, who find sUtfli boxes a
convenience, put up a post In their
Stead. Where this Is riot done the
-boxes will be put where posts nre pro
vided -for them ■without cost to the
govoromerit, and It may so happen
that many boxes now lq use will be
discontinued altogether for lack of a
post to attach 'them to.
It Is riaw believed I hart the alderman
took the triall boxes tnto consideration
when he offered his resolution.

LIFE AND DEATH STRUOGLU.
So John Boyd l'hatehor Describes tho
Flglit lu New York Tills Year.
New York. Oct. 10.—In regard to tho
third stale ticket put up by ihe Shep
ard Democracy, John hoyu Thatcher,
at tho Ucmuvrat.o elate Headquarters
today, made this official statement:
Wo lmvo lo deal with nil sorts of
men, with all sort* of sudeUcs end
witli all sorts of theories iu a political
campaign. It is a uciUhy and nut un
healthy sign to see activity and earn
estness everywhere lu the party. Dif
ferences of opinion arc natural both
with regard to candidates and issues.
T think, howover, us the days go
ou that these gentlemen who upposo
All*. Hill because he .s Mr. Hill will
pupport him because ho Is tho leader
of tho tlekot clioseu l>y tho representa
tives of the party.
Tills Is it life aud dentil struggle for
the Democratic party. If we lose this
election, wo cannot hope to succeed
In carrying tho legislature for twenty
years tn come. If tlic-ro Is uo hope of
carrying the legislature, tho party or-
Knulzatlon v.'lU go to pieces. Mr. Hill
Is at liest only a passing figure In poli
tics, ’ike every other public man. Tlio
party goes ott forever. Candidates
come and go; the party is greater limn
the man. Betides, opposition to .Mr.
Hill now ’.s like dissatisfaction on tho
part of a few soldiers on the field of
battle t» their general. They may not
have wanted him as leader, hut tho
fact remains Unit ho Is tlio rcgnlutly
appointed leader mul the army ho Is
loading is facing tlio enemy lu a deadly
struggle.
“I have n high regard for .Mr. Whee
ler aud ids friends, hut I hnvo a higher
regard for loyal Democrats who would
rather lujurc the common enemy than
help destroy their own party. The
next two weeks will soften llio feeling
of opposition nnd bring better feeling."
A meeting uf the New York sum
Democracy was hold at Cooper Union
tills afternoon. Tlio hour that lmd
