Sleeping By the Echo.
. According to La Verne W. Noyes
this city, who hoe just returned from
a pleasure trip to Alaska, navigation
in those northern latitudes possesses
some rather remarknble features.
"I believe the Inland steamer route
to Alaska Is the finest pleasure trip
In the world,” said Mr. Noyes the oth¬
er day. "The scenery Is Indescribably
beautiful, and the water, separated
from the Pacific by a chnln of Islands,
is as smooth as any harbor In the
world, llut at many points along the
route the channel Is quite tortuous
and full of rocks, and whenever a fog
Is encountered, every movement of
the ship is fraught with danger.
"I was uwakened about ,'t o'clock one
morning by a long blast of the steam¬
er's whistle. This struck me as un¬
usual, for vessels are rarely met on
that trip, and there are comparatively
no settlements. A moment later I
hoard the captain and the pilot on the
bridge over my stateroom engage la a
very lively colloquy.
I tell you It s right there, said one
of them excitedly; 'll must he, or we'll
be on the rocks In a minute!
"That was enough for me. I tum¬
bled out of my berth and, hnlf-dress< d,
rushed out on deck its the whistle gave
another unearthly screech. It seemi d
to be answered (mediately by anoth¬
er whistle nearby and 1 Imagined we
were meeting a steamer.
"'What did I tell yon!’ cried tta.
pilot. ‘There she Is all right!’
"After waiting ten minutes or more,
hoping to he able to catch a glimpse
of the strange craft, I accosted the
captain and askofl him where the other
steamer was. My quest ton nearly gave
hlm an epileptic fit. We had run Into
a dense fog, nnd our pilot wan guiding
us In that crooked channel and among
those treacherous rocks by the echoes
sent back from the mount ulna which
here nnd there rise precipitously from
the water's edge.”--Chicago Tlmcs-
Herald.
Ran No Risks.
The boy hung back when the visitor
spoke to him, mid his mother was nut.
urally annoyed.
“Won’t you go to Mrs. Brown, Wi!-
lie?" she asked.
“No,” replied the lioy, shortly.
“Don’t yon like me?” asked Mrs.
Brown, good naturedly.
“No, I don’t," answered the hoy.
“Why, Willie!” exclaimed his
mother, reproachfully.
"Well, 1 guess I got whipped for
not telling the truth yesterday, and I
ain't taking no chances today,” pro¬
tested the boy. - Chicago I’ost.

HOUSE IS DECIDEDLY AGAINST A
CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION.
HOUoE HONORS MEMORY OF CRISP
A Brief Nummary of Each Day’* Fro-
«#•«•<!iiijfH In th« IIoiimo uml
fli« henule.
Mr. Nevin'h bill for a constitutional
convention came up as tho special or-
derut 10 o clock in the house I-riday
and after much debate was defeated
by a largo majority. The committee 1 !
substitute providing for ten delegates
to each congressional district aroused
more opposition than Mr. Kevin’s bill
and helped to defeat it.
Mr. Hill’s bill to protect dry conn-
iles from liquor drummers passed with
amendments protecting dry towns and
dry districts in wet counties. Speaker
Jenkins left tho chair to support the
i,j||
Mr. Moore, of Carroll, won a pre-
liminary fight on his hill to tax stirren-
iler values of life insurance policies,
and the recommitment of the bill was
reconsidered by more than seventy
votes, indicating that the bill has con¬
siderable strength. It was opposed

Pearce, of Houston,
Friday was a dull day in the senate.
Several important bills were intro-
duced, but the session was almost en-
tirely consumed in the transaction of
routine matters.
Henutor ('aider's denial of an inter¬
view reflecting on Hon. Tom Watson
which was recently printed in the
Macon Telegraph, was the only inter¬
esting incident of the session.
Tih‘*<Ih y ’h Fro<!«*«Mlln£M.
The house Tuesday by an emphatic
vote killed the bill to prohibit child
labor. It was a spirited debate, in
which a number of prominent gentle¬
men took part, but when the test vote
came on an amendment excepting cot¬
ton factories, the vote of PH to 311 in¬
dicated the death of the bill.
The bill prohibited the employment
of children under 13 years of uge in
any manufacturing establishment,
laundry or workshop, excepting or¬
phans wlm have to support them elves
and excepting saw mills, grist mills,
cotton gins and like mills and work¬
shops in tlie rural districts.
An important senate bill providing
for the trial of all questions of fact by
jury, including cases now submitted
to auditors, was under discussion
when it was displaced by a special
order. The bill is adversely reported.
The house refused to j ay Colonel
W. H. Thompson, of Atlanta, a $G00
fee for his services as attorney for the
state in the tax ease against Mr. G.
W. Collier. The house took the ; osi-
tion that every county should collect
its taxes, including the state's part.
There was barely a quorum present
in tho senate Tuesday, and tlie session
w an devotejl principally to the trans¬
action of routine business. Only one
important bill w as introduced, anil
tlint was offered bv Mr. McFarland,
of the Forty-fourth district. His Dill
has for its ptuposo the abatement of
the cigarette evil, and not only would
prevent the sale of cigarettes in Gcor-
gin, but also provides against bring-
ing them into the state.
The session was adjonrneil at 11:30
o’clock until 10 o’clock Wednesday
morning.

The house had a day of discussion
’Wednesday. The child labor bill died
hard on a motion to reconsider Tues¬
day's action, but it expired under a
vote of 29 to 100.
I'lie bill to submit auditor’s reports
iu equity eases to (lie jury triumphed
over uu adverse report by a vote of 70
to 39. Mr. Watkins’ omnibus pension
Dill was killed by a decisive vote of 51
to (it).
The great debate of the day was on
the payment of tho convention bonds
w hieh have been repudiated a number
of times by previous legislatures. The
ontlie weight of authority and argument was
side of the bonds, but the house
voted down a proposition lo pay them,

When tho house convened Saturday

members present., The first business
was that of reading hills for the see-
ond time, as there was no quorum
present. A large number of bills came
up for a second reading. The next
work was receiving reports of commit-
tees.
Only one ’•eport was deserving of
notice. That was tho minority report
f'.om tho committee of county and
county matters. This report was sign-
ed by four of the committee, and was
in favor of the court house and county
seat of DeKalb being retained in Do-

seven members to confer with legisla-
turos of other southern states in re-
gard to a plan to mark the graves of
soldiers who lie buried in unmarked
graves in the far north.
Two bills were introduced which if
passed will place very stringent re-
strictions around the street railways.
Beliiuil the introuction of at least one
of the bills nifty be a scheme to secure
transfers in Atlanta. Mayor Collier,
the advocate of the transfers, was on
the floor of the house for quite a while
during the morning, and it was whis-
pered around the house that the mayor
was working for his cherished idea of
street car transfers.
Mr. Fogarty, of Richmond, intro-
duced a very important bill which

Talked on School Question.
By invitation of the general assom-
1 > 1 y T , Dr. Warren Chandler, president
of Emory college, and Dr. G. A. Nun¬
nally, president of tho Southern Fe¬
male college, addressed Hint body in
the house of representatives Tuesday
night.*
Tlie contention of both gentlemen
was that tlie state should concentrate
its educational appropriations on com-
moil schools and leave it to private be-
nevolence to support the institutions
of education,
Dr. Candler attacked tho University
funding act, by which tho state pays
that institution 7 per cent on money
which may be had for 3} per cent. He
reviewed tlie history of legislation un-
friendly to denominational colleges,
and criticised severely tho taxation of
their property when church property
is exempt. The speech commanded
close attention for an hour and a quar¬
ter and mndo a deep impression.
Dr. Nunnally called attention to the
fact that, sectarian education was at
least 1,000 years old and state educa¬
tion an experiment, of only about 100
years standing. He said the state
should do nothing vvhith individuals
can do, and suggested a law requiring
students nt tiro University to teach
school ns many many mouths as they
enjoy free tuition at that institution.
Dr. Nunnally was frequently applaud¬
ed ami received marked attention.

JESTER WORKMAN WAS WILLING,
HOWEVER, TO HE RETIRED.
NEW YORK MAN HIS SUCCESSOR.
Honsiitlon Sprung In flic 0«n#*r«l AMtmblf
of Knights of Labor In Herndon at
Loulnvlllc, K y.
James R. Sovereign, who has been
general master workman of the
Knights of Labor for the past four
years or more and who, before and
during that time, has been one of the
ablest champions of the order audits
doctrines, was relieved of his office
Friday afternoon by the general
assembly, in session in Louisville, Ky.
Under ordinary conditions Mr. Sov-
ereigu’s term of office would not ex¬
pire until the next meeting. This,
however, it is said, makes no differ-
enee with the order whose general
officers during a meeting are always
in the bauds of the assembly and can
la; chosed and deposed at the will of
the majority. Along with Mr. Sever¬
eigu there were three other officers re¬
tired because of this special election,
viz: T. B. McGuire, general worthy
foreman, of Amsterdam, N. Y.; Daniel
Brown, of Montana, and H. B. Mar-
tin, of Minnesota, members of the ex-
ecutive committee,
Henry A. Hicks, of New York dis-
trict 253, New York city, was chosen
to fill Mr. Sovereign’s place, and I.
D. Chamberlain, of Pueblo, Col., was
selected as general worthy foreman,
Senators Field Fi’zpatrick, of Mon-
treal, and Henry Bostock, of Assent-
bly 300, glassworkers, were chosen as
the two members of the executive
board, the third member being Andrew
D. Best.
This very decided change in the
corps of general officers of the Knights
of Labor will cause considerable nston-
ishment in labor circles throughout
the country. Save to those who were
on the “inside,” so to speak, for the
past three months there was absolutely
nothing of this known. It is said,
though the change was sudden and
totally unlooked for, was done with
the amicable consent of all. In some
quarters it is hinted that it had been
prearranged.
It is learned on good authority that
it was with Mr. Sovereign’s hearty
approval that he steps down and V. out.
H likewise, with ..* the appreciation, .
is,
and in fac love of his brethren of the
order tl.a this is done. The same
holds good with the other officers who
were relieved Mr. Sovereign stated
that lie wished retirement. He want-
ed rest from the labor which the office
en ailed him.
Honry A Hicks, the general master
workman-elect, was seen after the
meeting. lie said that he did not in-
tend to outline the future policy of the
order under l.is administration for
seieral days yet. lie expressed
the highest admiration for his
predecessor saying that he thought
liim one of the greates* exponents of
lm age of the prime idea represented
by the Knights of Labor.
1. D. Chamberlain, the worthy fore¬
man-elect, is a newspaper man.
All the business transacted at Fri¬
day’s meeting went through in the
most amicable manner possible.
The afternoon session was princi-
pally taken up with tho dolivery of
Mr. Sovereign’s annual address.
Mr. Sovereign prefaced his speech
with the statement that the opening of
this regular session of the general as-
f enibly presents to tho world tho “same
undismayed membership through
whose fortitude and courage the spirit
of progress combats greed and avarice
and defies the cant and hypocrisy of
the age.”
Ho then dwelt briefly on the triumph
of tho principles of the order, saying
tliftt it had survived the crimes of its
traitors, nnd prospered in spite of tho
contumely of its enemies. The order, ;
he said, was today stronger in mem-
bevsbip, stronger in character and
stronger in the hearts of the people
than it was a year ago. He recoin- ;
mended that this session coniine its
deliberations largely to the work of
ot gaiuzatioa, and to this end plans
should he put in operation which will
insure the service of the largest possi-
ide number of experienced and efficient
organizers in isolated and unorganized
fields.

A <s, v - o Our l’unlflhment I* Tain— If Wo Continue

This statement is the positive truth.
When everything becomes a burden

V up woman's nervous system and re¬
store woman’s health, we know of no better or more inspiring medicine than
Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. Your ailment taken in time can be
thrown off, if neglected it will run on into great suffering and pain.
Here is an illustration. Mns. Lucy Goodwin, Holly, W. Va., says:
4 ‘ I suffered with nervous prostration, faintness, all-gone feeling and palpi-
tation of the heart, I could not stand but a few moments at a time without
having that terrible bearing-down sensation.
“ When I commenced taking Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound I
only weighed 108 pounds, and could not sit up half a day; before, however, I
had u6ed a whole bottle, I was able to be about. I took in all about three bot¬
tles of the Compound, and am entirely cured; now I weigh 131 pounds and feel
like a new woman, stronger and better than ever in ray life. ’
So it transpires that because of the virtues of Mrs. Pinkham s wonderful
Compound, even a very sick woman can be cured and live to a green old age.

Near Galena, Ill., there live3 an old

he appears to be perfectly sane, bis

How Berliners "Spruce Up.”
The men of Berlin have an odd habit
of brushing and combing their hair
and whiskers in public. In tho rest¬
aurants and cafes men pull out their
implements and “spruce up” while
waiting for their orders to be filled.
They do not take the trouble to leave
the table, either. In the foyers of the
Berlin theatres there are many mir-
rors. Theoretically they are placed
there for the convenience of ladies. As
a matter of fact the men are the prin-
cipal users. Five minutes before the
curtain goes up a man may be seen
standing before every mirror indus-
triously using brush and comb. One
minute before the curtain rises all
hands place brush and comb Back in
tlicir pockets, and with a well-groomed
appearance anil self-satisfied smile
they march down to their seats.—New
York Commercial Advertiser,
A Simnle Fire Extinguisher.
Hand-grenades, the simplest form of
fire-extinguisher, cau be made at home
chcaply and easily. And it is well to
have at hand a simple contrivance for
extinguishing a small fire at its start,
Take twenty pounds of common salt
and ten pounds of sal ammoniac (ni¬
trate of ammonia, to be had of any
druggist), and dissolve in seven gal¬
lons of water. Procure quart bottles,
of thin glass, such as are ordinarily
uscd b y druggists, and fill with this,
corking tightly and sealing, to pre¬
vellt evaporation.
breaking of the bottle liberates
a certain amount of gas, and the heat
the fire generates more, thus work-
lng lts own destruction.
