THE EXPOSITION APPROPRIATION.
The houso in committee of tho whole,
by a vote of 69 to 66. made on adverse re
port on the exposition appropriation bill,
which was taken up Immediately after
the registration bll) was disposed of.
Capt. E. P. Howell of Fulton made the
opening speech of tho day in favor of
the appropriation. Capt. Howell was
quite independent In his tone. He said
tho exposition could get along very well
without the state exhibit, but a* a busi
ness proposition, the state c^uld not af
ford to neglect such an opportunity.
Mr. Willingham of Monroe county made
a speech against the appropriation < n the
plea of unconstitutional!ty. Mr. Wilson
of Clay also spoke for it and Mr. Mc-
Amy of Hart closed the debate In op
position.
After the adverse report had been made
tho bill was about to be put upon its
passage when Mr. Doolan of Chatham
moved to adjourn. The motion was adop
ted and the fate of the exposition bill
was delayed until the night sosslon.
The house did not take up the exposi
tion bill tonight, but devoted Itself en
tirely to passing upon the general tax
bill. B’rlends of the exposition bill thought
best to let It go over to another day.
IN THE SENATE.
Tho senate today passed the bill pro-
vldlng for the sale $f the Northeastern
railroad and immediately transmitted it
to the house for action.
Senator Munro’s bill prohibiting munic
ipal corporations from taxing non-rcaldent
manufacturers, merchants oi traders was
killed after a warm debate. Senators
Munro, Boyd and Send spoke for the bill
and Senators Beeks. Lewis. Lumpkin nnd
N. E. Harris opposed lt.
Another Important bill passed woi that
of Senator Wilson providing that In ap
plication for change of vemio Judges may
hear either oral or written evidence.
There will be no no summor session bill
Introduced at this session. Today the
Joint committee appointed to prepare a
plan for summer sessions of the legisla
ture reported against tho advisability of
agitating that question now. The com
mittee thought In view of the fact that
the appropriations are about made It
would not be wise to disarrange every
thing by passing a summer session bill.
Several local bills were passed by the
senate.
The finance committee of tho senate
has reported favorably* an amendment to
the appropriation hill Increasing tho ap
propriation to the Blind Asylum from
$16,000 to $20,000.

This monument was erected by order of
congress 25th January, 1770, to transmit to
posterity a grateful rr mcnibrnnco of tho pa
triotism, conduct, enterprise and perseverance
of Major General Richard Montgomery, who,
after A scries of successes amidst tho most
discouraging difficulties, foil In tho attack on
Quebec 81st December, 1775, aied © years.
Montgomery was born near Itopboe, Ire
land, Doc. 8,1736, was educated at Trinity
college, Dublin, and entered tho British
army at tho ngo of 18, little dreaming that
ho would ono day fight against tho flag of
tho king. Ills bravery and knowledge of
military tactics won him a captaincy nfe
28. Deserved promotion being denied him,
ho sold his commission and located In Now
York In 1778. Whon wor with Great
Britain began, he warmly espousod the
causo of tho colonies and was appointed a
brigadier general by tho continental con
gress. During tbo Invasion of Canada
Montgomery was in command of ono of
tho continental armies, 1,000 men strong.
IIo assisted In capturing Montreal and
then attackod Quebec. While loading a
gallant chargo up a narrow pass that Is
now part of Champlain street Montgom
ery wob mowod down by tho flro of two
cannon but a few fcot distant. Ho was
instantly killed and was buried on tho
spot tho following morning by tho British
officerSjmany of whom knew and respited
him. Yoars later his body was removed
to New York and burled In St. Raul's
churchyard.

For lb. Telrgr.pl>’. L.it Wool-Dili You
Find It Ye.teril.y I—Sl.oy lay Tb.y
blil—Come Saturday and Get
tbe Money, If You Win.
You never saw a tiling take so In
all your lire ns the Telegraph's ‘'cheap
column" oontcat has taken.
Everybody seem, to be looking for
tho lost word. Many say they have
found ihoae already given out. Maybe
they have; if they beep It up anil get
here tlmt Friday morning with the
correct answer, they will get the Tele
graph's money.
Tbo «re:vgraph regrets tlmt a few
people have formed an Idea that some
one on the 'iuslde" will earn this
money. This Is entirely wrong, and
to prove lt, notloe is now given that
no one In any way connected with thlB
paper, nor their relatives, even unto
the fourth degree of corisangu.nity,
caa contest for the prise. This ls done
simply to avoid any suspicion that
might arise In the minds of some peo
ple, and not to prevent a trlok being
played by anyone connected, ,wlth tho
office, for it la aa Impossible for any
one In the olllcc to know what tho
sentence Is unless he roads the "cheap
columns” from day to day, as it ls for
an outsider to guess tho sentence at
the beginning.
Only one mau In the Telegraph offlee
known wliar. tho sentence Is, and no
ono else will know it until It ls
given In full lu Saturday's issue.
But let It bo understood that no ono
connected wth the Telegraph tuor their
relatives can contest for the prize. It
can only be one who watches the cheap
columns from day to dsvy. and reuds
every word printed therein. It may
save you confusion If you remember
that only one word Is printed ectch day
this week. The sentence will contain
seven words.
Have your answer In early Friday
morning, but not before 7 o'clock. If
«o correct answer ls turned In by 10
o'cloek SS'timlny night, then tho new
contest, which will have bogur, will
be doubled In the amount of money
offered; or, In other words, If no ono
finds the sentence th!« week tho
money off-red will be added to that
to be offered next week, and the win
ners next week would receive 820 In
stead of $10.
Every one should gn to work to earn
tho Teietmtpit's money. Uotne'ubw, It
Is ?10 overy wools from now until
Christmas. Tit's money will home In
nlcoly, and not tnuoh work '« Involved

Liston to tho ptan: Boa'tin'.ng Sat
urday morning nnd form then on for
one week Itio T<flc«mph Will Insert
somowhore among Its “Cheap Column"
ndveirMsomomta n lost word or word out
of place. By watching Hie dump col
umns «tdt day for one weak nnd read
ing mo rally every advertisement tin-re
in. 't will bo no dlfllenlt matter to find
the lost wort. Seven of these worts
will form n Bentonce. To Hinsonte:
Suppose on Saturday morning the Tel
egraph prints In Its rihetap ooltt-nn cn
mlvertlsomont like tho following:
XMAS TRIX—The time Is short;
prices low; Judicious tho place is
here.
And then on Sunday suppose you
nee the following:
WATCH the columns of the Telegraph
advertising for our special holiday
offerings.
And again on Monday you find this
one:
•WF, do not hide our light under a
bushel. Our store ls always, there
fore, always crowded.
And on Tuesday you see this:
WE find that It pays pays to tell the
public what we've got.
On Wednesday you may see some
thing like this:
LOST—An opportunity to Increase our
a trade by Inviting the publle to visit
our store.
On Thursday lt may take this form:
OUR holiday trndo In good, booausa
good wo advertised our goods.
And then for the last day, Friday,
sa- something like this one:
JUDICIOUS advertising always pays
a dividend.
If you are a careful reader you have
found that tho word "Judicious" was
out of place in the Saturday ad; on
unduy you found that Important
word "advertising" out of place; on
Monday you found “always"; on Tues
day "pays"; on Wednesday "a"; on
Thursday “good"; on Friday '‘dive
dend."
The week has been oompleted and
you have found ono word each day,
which when put together form the
sontenoo "Judicious advertising always
pays u good dividend," which Is a
maxim true as gospel.
If you have been quick, you have
rushed your ssswer to the Telegraph
office at the earliest hour possible Fri
day morning. If lt was tho tlmt cor
rect answer received, you will read In
Saturday’s paper the pleasant an
nouncement that you have received $5:
If the sooond oorrodi answer, that you
have received $3; and If third, $2. .
Of course, the nentonee which begins
Saturday will not be tho some as the
above, and probably nothing like It;
so don't attempt to guess until you
have nnd carefully each of the seven
apers beginning Saturday and con
cluding with Friday morning's issue.
If ?° u ,. a £ e 5pt H>o first in this con
est, don't be discouraged, for the Tele-
Kfapl; Intends to keep it up. Maybe
Indefinitely, but oemlnly for four
weeks—until $40 hae been distributed
In this way among tho Telegraph’s
most careful readers.
Now, get ready; tbe contest will be-
Kta Saturday morning. Then wakch ths
cheap columns' every day for one
week, and you may find yourself sev
eral dollars better oft than you
