ATLANTA, Aug. 19.—H. t. Moore, sec
retary of the Atlanta Frelgb t Bureau,
his afternoon filed a corarauntcatlot In
the offlco of the Georgm railroad com
mission requesting that body to ascertain
if the Central of Georgia ti not owned or
controlled by the Southern railway. The
effect of the communication Is to prove,
if possible, that the Soutnem owns a
controlling Interest of ine Central or
Georgia.
The communication calls the attention
of the commission to rates x ana 27 of
that body relating to combinations In
common carriers.
The Atlanta Freight Bureau claims to
have in his possession evidence showing
that the two railroads are really owned
and controlled by tho same company. It
is claimed that President Samuel Spencer
in testimony before the railroad com
mission on October 2i, me, practically
admitted that the two railroads were one
and the same. This evidence will be re
called to the commission. If necessary,
and the commission will be asked to place
these roads under rule one.
In response to u question of Commis
sioner Fort on October 21. 1896, President
Spencer Mid:

wives are secured by the simple mt-tnod
of making a foraging expedition on some
weaker tribe and seizing as many women
as may be desired. This practice, how
ever boldly undertaken. Is likely to mean
the loss cit several lives, and is adopted
only In cases of the direst necessity. The

The preliminary bartering having been
compfeied,.on the day appointed for tho
wedding the woman is placed either In the
upper limbs of a tree, while her male rel

armed with thorn-sticks—or In the back
part of her father’s hut. while the rela
tives guard the entrance in a similar man
ner. The suitor rides up on horse, ar-
raved In wedding finery, and announces
his Intention of seizing his bride. In fact
this is love-making of the most strenuous
kind, requiring ardor and courage of the
moat ardent sort on the part of the suitor,
for In order to reach his bride he is com
pelled to run the gauntlet of of the-male
relatives, who beat him unmercifully. If
he Is able to elude his opponents and
braves their chastisement, on touching
the foot of the girl he Is welcomed into
the family nnd complimented on the^ ar

Ample Accommodation at Reasonable
Rates.
The alarmin.i and altogether erron
eous reports which have been circula
ted from time to time regarding tha
probable overcrowding of visitors to
the exposition and the lack of acc ® n '“
modatlons may be entirely discarded,
as the arrangements which have been
made In the Cascade City are such as
to provide good accommodations and
entertainment for all who come.
Chief among the prominent hostel-
rles which have opened their hospitable
doors Is the i'nsldo Inn. situated ac
tually within the grounds of the expo
sition itsef and erected under the su
pervision of the World's Fair manage
ment. It Is three stories in height, ie
400, feet wide, 800 feet long and con
tains 2.257 rooms In addition to its
parlors nnd wailing-rooms nnd a din
ing-room and restaurant, seating 2,500.
Tho Inside Inn Is under the direct man
agement of Mr. E. M. Statler. the well-
known caterer of Buffalo, who main
tains a high-class and uniform cuisine
and service for-everyone of his guests.
The Inside Inn Is run on both the
European and American plans at rates
ranging from 91.50 to $5.50 per day,
European, and from $3.00 to $7.00,
American, including admission in both
classes. Tho range of prices being
solely controlled by the size and loca
tion of the rooms.
The advantage of a large, comfort
able, and thoroughly equipped, home
like hotel right inside the grounds will
at once be obvious to all who remem
ber the long.'wearisome journeys so of
ten entailed both at the World’s Fair
in Chicago, and at Buffalo, by those
who lived some distance away- from
the exposition. No admission fee other
than the first one is needed, visitors
being within the precincts of the expo
sition all the time. They thus save all
loss of time, expenses of street cars,
etc., and are able to devote the whole
of their time to the pleasures and en
joyments of the exposition.
Reservation may be made for any
date and full details regarding the
many advantages of the Inside Inn may
be obtnined by addressing a postal card
to The Inside Inn, Administration Bldg,

bly determined to live unmarried, oven
at the risk of living an old maid, hut who
wished so much to spare the susceptibili
ties of her potential admirer* that she
long made it h*r study how to refuse
them without wounding them. To this
end she read all th* novels sue could lay
her hands on, and as much poetry as she
could bear. Sho went constantly to the
theater, and In tho Intervale or her so
cial duties she took serious books, like
biographies and memoirs, out of the li
braries, nnd Informed herself of the meth
ods and manners of the heroines who de
cline offer* from high motives. She
was, upon the whole, a good deal disap
pointed. especially with the novels. These
mnnunls of the dltpassloned emotions
seemed to render In almost every
a blind allegiance to the law of e
well, which In the low conception of the
author was getting the hero and heroine
mnrried, and then dropping them. In
the very# vary Tew ensen where they
suffered a girl to refuse a lover, Is was
that she might leave him to soma other
girl.’ who secretly loved him. and who
would probably pine nwny, or portly awsy
If she did not have him. This the young
uiilv thought simply disgusting and Idiotic;
she was u young lady of strong expres
sions n* well ns tender feellngn and fixed
resolve*: and she found the poets not
much. If any more Instructive than the
novelist*. They gave example* enough
of girls who did not marry, but It was
because their lovers died, or did not as*
them: when their lover* both survived
and proposed the girls refused them from
pride or from shame, or from want of
iresence of mind; nnd bitterly regretted
.1 ever afterward*. Th* personal hts-
ortea were largely those of women dis
tinguished In the art*, letter*, and
sciences, whose counships nnd marriages
were dismissed In a few cold and Indiffer
ent phrases, aa incidents or small conse
quence In their saversl careers. Where
they did not marry they seemed not to
have hern oouruj; snd where they were
loved It was In a vague, tentative sort
that never arrived at passion. ,
In spite of n\L however, the young lady
aid evolve, though from the observation
of life, rather her acquaintance with lit
erature, a formula of sympathetic re
jection which entirely suited her. We
wilt not reveal it because It waa »a
charming thut If put In the possession of
voting girls generally. It would tempt
them to It* use In the case of every offer
or marriage. But we may confide that
the young ladv, having lived to wltnese
the comparative failure of marriage
among her friends, nnd always liking her
friends’ husbands better than her friends
themselves, though she blamed them for
her friends’ unhappiness, made such a
Study of their vartrlng temperaments that
she knew Just where men's aenslbfiittes
would suffer most, and no contrived n
form of refusal and would Justly flatter
their vanity and console their affections,
snd at last leave them grateful for CSV-
111 Thefonly 0 IfiTlcuity she experienced wss
In the application of her formula. It
hnppend that the very first man who
oqered himself was one whom she had
long secretly |ov»*d. and she Instantly ac
cepted him, without, as It were, thinking.
Bhe never regretted what she had done,
snd did not even appear chagrined at
th> waste of the time she had spent In
acquiring tbs useless Information stored
up for the contrary eventuality. Unti
she should become a window, hers m—
ever remain the most signal Instance of
misspent research that we could offer.—
