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.

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.

COMMUNITY OF ZOAR. Old World Organization That ii Flourish. Ing in Ohio, Among the communistic societies of America none are more Interesting than this one of Zoar, located about fifteen miles southeast of Massillon, Ohio, It owes Its existence to a reli¬ gious society not unlike that of the Friends, founded In Germany 100 years ago nnd driven from that land by re¬ ligion). persecution.

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 |,y Mr. Knowles, of Fulton, ami Mr. 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. Wtnlnomliiy’M It online. 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, In the senate Wednesday a number *' f minor appointments were contirmod ond two important bills were passed.

Senator Hopkins' bill providing for the election of judges and solicitors by the penrOo n-n. made the special order for next Friday, hutimfuy in tho IIouso. When tho house convened Saturday lnor,: * n K there were scarcely half the 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- catur. Thirty thousand unmarked graves of confederate soldiers may bo marked uud provided witli tombstones as a re- suit of a resolution adopted by the house. The resolution was by Mr. Calvin, of Richmond, and provided for tho appointment of a commission of 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 exactly tits the present commercial conditions in this country.

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. ‘ The School Hook Report*. Governor Atkinson sent the major- i»y and minority reports of the school book commission to tho general a - semldv Tuesday, accompanying them with a short but very pointed message The governor limits his message to a brief statement of fuels nnd presents a table of comparison between the coat of books now and the prices of- fered him by a prominent publisher if given a contract to furnish the state’s school books.

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.

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. - He Eeiieves in Witches.

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.

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.
