Springfield, O., March 9 —Noth ing else is talked of In Coinmbus social circles but the desertion of Miss Lay- ton, bis intended, by Cook Farnum. It seems that the guests were in the house for the wedding, ami the bride had on her wedding dress. When high noon arrived, the time set for the wedding, no groom arrived, bntacruei letter instead, saying be bad deserted her. MUs Layton became acquainted with Cook Farnnm, two year^ ago, at his former home in Atlanta, Ga. After her return to Columbus a correspon- d»nce was arranged by a friend and they corresponded regularly. An en gagement followed and be came to Columbus on February 18th. Miss Laytoo pcychased a fine wedding out fit. Invitations wart Issued to his rel atives in Georgia, and her relatives. THE WRONG MAN HISSED HSR. Last Sunday ajnurober ol Miss Lay ton’s friends called at her house and bade her good-bye. and in the evening while her affianced was there, a young gentleman called. When he left, Miss Layton said good bye to him, when the young man took hold of her, and drawing her to him, kissed her fare well. The young lady did not think fitly thiug of this, as she felt toward the young man as a sister. But'this circumstance was witnessed by Far- num and seemed to have awakened Ids piously as that was the last time he odied. Farnum Is abont 30 years old, and is a successful lawyer, practicing at Santa Paula, Cal. lie bad about $2,000 with him here, aud it was learned at the hotel that he had been dissipated while in the city. This was not known by Miss Layton, but her friends con- sid-r it very fortunate that she was nor married to him. The young lady is charming in both person and manner, and is considered above reproach. THE CARDS WERE PRINTED. The “At Home” cards had been printed and addressed by Farnum ready for mailing. Farnum was born in Georgia and it is said that he is a nephew of Justice Lamar, of the L T tilted States supreme bench, and for tour years was in the Uuited States navy.

C., March 8.—A night or two since Engineer DUlon, of the Danville, Mockvllle aud Southwes tern railroad, dreamed that a large rock had fallen on his road nt-ar Leath er wood creek, and that his engiue, having come'in contact with this Urge rock, was eompieiy torn to pieces, Hie dream was so clearly oresented to him in his slumber that the impression grew on him that such an accident would happen to him. . He declined to make his usual run the next morning until he had tele- egraphed to ascertain if there was any thing the matter with the roadbed near Leatherword creek. An answer was returned that verified his vision. The message wa* flashed back that a huge rock had fallen on the track about midnight, and within a few feet of the identical place where, in his dream, he had seen the rock come tumbling down the hillside. The message bearing the sequel to his dream grated that the track was still blocked, although hands had been working for some hours to clear the track of the obstruction. Too Modest to be Honest.

Ga., March 8.—Mr Abe MixGn, of Clinch county, and j party of friends, killed & large black bear recently. Mr. Mixon lives at Mixon’s ferrv, on tiie Suwanee river, near Its source in the Okeefenokec swamp. About 10 o'clock at uight his dogs began a terrific barking iu the yard, and going to the door he heard a hog squealiug about 200 yards froth the house. Us kuew what was the matter. He shouted to the dogs aod ;liey made off for the racket. The beai carried the hog into a large swamp near by, and stood eating it while tbe dogs bayed him. Mr. Mixon saddled a horse aud went at full speed a mile and a half, and got two men and more dogs, and returned. Then they made a Charge upon bruin, and tbe old bog-thief climbed upon a pine and comfortably fixed himself in the top among clustering boughs. Mr. Mixon and friends built two or three lar^e bonfires aronnd the tree and stood guard until daylight. When the sun, rising in the east, gave them suffi cient light, they opened fire, and at the thirteenth shot bruin came tumb ling down. Tbe bear weighed 400 pounds and measured three inches through the fat on the round. He al&o measured seven inches across the ball of the foot. The Difference Between Them. * An Englishmtn, an Irishman and a Scotchman, making a tour around the city a short time since, were observed looking through a confectioner’s win dow at a beautiful young woman serv ing in the shop. “Oh!” exclaimed Mr. Patrick, “do let ns be after spending half-a-crown wiUi tbe dear craytor, that we may look at her convaniently, and haye a bit of chat wld her.” “Yon extravagant dog,” said Mr. Bull “I’m sure one-half of the money will be sufficient; but Ictus go In by all means; A Bay, a Lemon and a Band. Frox the New York Ti»er. Therifls a story—not another story, as Mr. Kipling would say, though there is a 6tory after this on*-—abont a clergyman who was once called upon to talk to tbe pupils lo a country school. He knew hoys are disposed »obee*ucl, and »o when lie fell to talking, as he did, about wanton sport, be addressed himself particular to the youngsters before him. “Why, boy*,” he said, ‘*1 knew son.e boys once who used to cateh frogs and fill them with shot and then make the poor frogs try to jirop. which of course, was very cruel sport, for the frog* con id r.ot stir.” As the clergyman left the school hou«e he heard one boy say to some others': “That’s a great scheme the preacher put ns onto. Let’s go down to the swamp and catch a frog’ and try it.” Now this Is a very old story, and some captious person may say that the clergyman used a certain tale about a jumping frog rs part of his personal experience, but that has nothing to do with the reason lor telling It here, which la solely that a moral may be drawn for another story, the moral be ing that if you want to Inspire a boy to do some particularly mischievous aod reprehensible thing yon should speak about the thing in his presence, and If you avoid him into the conversa tion it will strengthen the certainty of bis doing thc-tbing in mind. One night at the dinner table the boy hear i this proposition laid down: That if anybody sucks a lemon in front oi a brass band that band becomes as mule as the harp that bung in Tara’s halls. Then there grew np within him a long ing for a combination of a boy, a lemon and a brass band. Two elements in conjunction be could supply and be bought a lemon. Then he waited for a band, a street band with Germans to run the machinery. The boy lives in Brooklyn, amhtbere are German bands over there even to this day, but it was a week before one came within bis reach. Tiie band came down Willow street and turned into MMdah. The boy and the lemon met it there and took up a position on a fence directly In front of which the hand bad determined to play. The band consulted and decided upon “Little Fisher Maiden.” The boy se»*retly gnawed a hole f n one end ol hi» lemon. Theu the E flat clarinet, which being the only wood instrument in the band is a proud one, and the E fl»t cornet, which because it divides with the clarinet all the fancy work in the intricate mude of such bands, got ready. And the B flat cornet, which has thrust off upon it the air when the first two cannot get down low enough, and the two B flat tenors and the two E flat altos and the B fiat bari tone, which gets a bass solo now and then, and the tuba wijich does not get anything except a great deal of wind, they all got ready and they played on verse of “Little Fisher Maiden” so beautifully that a district messenger boy stopped to hear them Then the boy threw the lemon Into action aad with great apparent enjoy ment eucked It, taking the precautions to kick a dog so it ye’ped, and thereby attracting attention to himself. The two tenors and tbe clarionet dropped out of the race on the secoud bar of tiie chorus, the altos and ib9 baritone went to cover three bars later on, the two cornets held on a half minute long er and then succumbed, and the tuba, who was deaf, was left to finish tbe strain alone, which he did. Then the band walked up to the boy, and the clarionet said in ve.ry good English, tor it is a singular philolog ical fact that German bands always talk EnglUh: “What did you do that for?” “I>o you live here?** asked one of the tenors, evidently seeking to know his legal nghts. I’ll break your neck!” said one of the altos. *You little villain!” shouted the haughty clarionet. “Give me that lemon!” veiled the B flat cornet, and then they all shook their fists at the boy,-aud ail whocould get at him shook him, and the lemon fell from his hands into the tuba, the performer on which had just come up. and was finally kicked clear up to Co lumbia Heights, when it was taken out, and the policeman who does not like anything German except beer, turned the corner, whereupon the b*n«l went up Hicks street to the Chin ese doctor’s house and started to play, "PH Staud By Until the Morning.” * The band stood by for nearly one verse before the hov could get anotl»e.r lemon. Thrn the notes got fast in the horns and even the shaking up they got when the b’tnd chased the boy around into Cranberry street and saw him disappear in tho laundry d<d not loosen them. Over in Orange street it began to in«M that white wing? never grow weary, but the boy and the lem on arrived and the luusic'gnt to»» weary ro come out of the bras? horns or the clarionet. In Pineappln ‘street the band attempted to make it clear that, “many a stormy winds shall b’ow ere Jack—comes home—again.” -but the hoy got around aud saved Jack from any prolonged temp-sts. The hand wandered up over the hill and the boy tagged along. Disjointed fragments of popular tunes were scat tered all over the heights that morning, but there was not enough of any one tune for a coroner’s inquest. Not iu many yeara have musical circles seen such an expenditure of energy with -neh *mall results.

This ia tiie question that the employes ■of the company In Savaunah and other cities are asking -themselves just now. The United State? Express Company has determined that it will Jitve the photographs. It is following the cx ample set by the American company, and there is naturally a fear that the Southern and other companies may follow along the same line. The United States Company has issued an order for its employes In po sitions of trust to have their photo- I graphs taken to pot ia a collection. These employes includes the messen gers, drivers and their helpers, clerks, bookkeepers-and otliers who handle roouey or goods, aud they number 10,- 000 or more. Tbe men do not like tbe idea. Not only doefi tiie company .demand like nesses, but it also requries complete descriptions of the men. -The print-id blank says tnatthc following informa tion regarding each employe must be prepared and subscribed to by the superintendent or agent. Name, residence, place and date Of birth, parents’ names and residence, height, weight, complexion, color of hair, color eyes, kind of nose, what hair is worn on the face, color of hair on the face, and any particular marks or deformities by which the employe can be identified. The superintendent oragent must also add remarks as to the appearauce in other respects, tbe antecedents, etc., of tbe employe. At tached roust be “a good photographic likeness” of the person described. The new order is dated March 1. Etuplyes are compelled to furnbh bonds to secure the company against loss through “fraud, default or uegli- geuce.” 'Heretofore tiie employes have obtained individual bondsmen or the guaranty of surety companies. Now the company has established its owu bor.dii.gjsysiem, ami the men will provide the indemnity fund. The yearly charge to the ompiove U $2 lor |3u0 security; $3 40 for $500, and $C 75 for $1,000. Iu the ordt-r issued outlie subject the company says that the mon ey received for bonding will be kept in a special aud a separate fund and the balance, after paying the losses through “fraud, default and negli gence” of employes will be annually distributed among the men in propor tion to their payments. There is one clause of the bonding order which the men object to. 1 t reads: “The company shall be the sole judge of the amounts In which Us employees shall severally be bonded, of the rates of premiums of the times and amounts of redistributlous. of what employees shall participate in redistributions, of the causes for which it shall repay itself out of the bond fund and the aroouuts ot such repayments, and of all other matters and questions relating to this system of bonding and arising therefrom, and its decisions shall al- -ways be fiual and conciusiye. The company may amend ami modify the system of bonding In any respect at any time,” * The employes must accept the con ditions and they may be discharged at any time without notice. The men do not find so much fault with the bond ing scheme as with the requirement to furnish their pictures to the company. The bonding charges -of4he - express company are lower than those of the surety com panic.*. Tiie express com pany, however, is the sole judge cf tbe extent ot its loss. If a surety company furnished a bond It would require the express company to present proof of its loss. W bile protecting itself by the bonding scheme the express company may at die same time proceed against or recover from the employe. The men say that the express com pany’s piquire collection and record is too much like the accumulation in In spector Byrnes’s archives. They con sider the onion a reflection ou their integrity. It is said that many of the men will refuse to furnish iheir photo graphs to tho company. No attempt has yet been made to en force the order, but it is certain to be carried out. It may result In a strike.

Hi can Niws *0 h Caps. John C. Rutherford is dead. This is the very unexpected and greatly regretted news that cornea to Macon to-day. Early this morning Mr.j. A. O. Bacon, Capt. Rutherford’s Uwpurrn*-r received a telegram fro n D Land, FI *., which was sent last night stating that Capt. Rutherford was critically ill, and was not expected to live through the night. This was tbe first infor mation that Maj. Bacon had received of Ufept. Rutherforel’ff extreme iiloe?s. He had been in ill health fur some time, but was thought that he was getting much better at Li- • *;rove in Florida,' where Le had been recuperating. Maj. Bacon and Mr. Minter Wim berly were preparing to go to Florida to-night to attend the bedside of Capt. Rutherford this morning, when about 3 o’clock this afternoon, Maj. Bacon received another telegram announcing the death of Capt. Rutherford, aud that the remains and family would leave for Athens to-dav f where the in terment will be made. Maj. Bacon and oiiiers of Macon v.iil try and meet the body en route. Capt. Rutherford was born at Athens about forty-eight or forty-oiue years ago. lie was the son of Professor William Rutherford, the distinguished teacher of mathematics at the Stan* University.

THE CENTRAL’S HEADQUARTERS. The KfnnanrKftpps Coing that Tbajr Will be Mar-d to Atlanta. Sireimah News. Will tbe Central railroad’s headquar ters go to Atlanta? Thr-.t is the question which is being discussed in Savannah r.ow. It is rumored that when Mr. Inman is made president of the road, and it is generally regarded as a settled fact that he wilt bo, that the headquarters of the Central railroad will be moved from Savannah. Many business men who are well posted in railroad mat- ters re-gsrd it as equally certain that the headqiiartefs of the road will be removed to Atlanta as that Mr. lumen will be made president- This is a matter of great importance to SavannMh. which hns bocn the head quarters of the road ever since its or ganization, over halt a.century ago, aud whose commercial importance is so closely connected with this road. It has been frequently commented on by railroad men and others tbat'all the rumors with regard to changes in Central railroad officials, including the president and several heads of de partments, have all come from Atlan ta. Even reports which purported to come Irotn Savannah were never heard of here until they appeared in pnut elsewhere. It is believed that if Mr. Iuniah is made president, and the headquarters of Central removed to Atlanta, that the Central Bank will l>e removed there also. If the various railway lines of the Terminal >y-tem are consolidated un der the management there is hardly any doubt, according to rumor, that aud the department of general man ager, traffic manager, general freight agent, general passenger- agent will be consolidated with only one head of each of the departments named for the system, and that the headquarters of these officials will beat Atlanta. As tbe pivotal or central point of the Ter minal system Savannah will watch the future developments in the} .Central’s mnvemeuts withji great deal of inter est. * THE BANNER H WK-UKOWEZL A.Tex** «oniau’- Head Burdened Wtin Bta<d« Aearly JBIevr* Feet Long. Haw He Overcame the Difficulty. Some time ago, says the Washing ton Post, a story went the rounds of the pres? anent Justice Lamar, and how lie absently knotted an umbrella cover around bis neck to go to an even ing party* instead of a necktie. The whilom silver-tongued orator of the Senate, and now hard-working and efllcieut Incumbent of the supreme bench, is ab?eut-minded enough for al most any tiling. For years he has suf fered untold afflictions from constantly mislaying his eyeglasses and well, bis suspenders. Not long ago, however, he met a friend, and, with beaming tace and kindling eye, confided to him the fact that bis tronbles were at an end. How did you manage it?” was tbe inquiry. “Oh, I had a pair of eyeglasses sewed onto every one of ray vests, and a pair of suspeuders to every pair of trous ers.” Another story, which Is believed to be authentic, even though it came from tbe capito! end of the avenue, re lates to the judge’s attempted innova tion in supreme court costume.

The longest suit <•! bair iri the world is perhaps that which grows on the head ot Miss Asenaih Phil pot, of Gainesville, Tex., hers trailng oh the ground when she stands nearly four feet, and measuring In ail ten feet and seven inches. Miss Phil pot is a slight, deiicate woman, approaching middle age aud regards her magnificent tresses aS*rather a nuisance, complaining that their weight actually drains her streugth. The present growth is of the ]KUjt seven years, as in 1SS4 her head was shaved during a spell ot brain fever. It is necessary to her health to cut out large quantities of hair every few months, and this she lias a good sale for from some large wig manufactory in the east, which pays her well for it, as its fineness and silky gloss is excep tional, besides being ef a much admir ed red-gold tint. Miss Philpot says she has been several tiroes approached by enterprising pro prietors of dime museums, who have made offers to travel with them as a a freak and lias also been requested to act as agent for sundry bair tonics. She claims that her family has for gen erations been noted for tbe beauty and length of their hirsute ornaments, her grandfather having a beard that fell to hU feet and being obliged to cut bis hair every day or two. Her mother’s hair was such that when she lay in her coffin it enwrepted her from head to foot and was then obliged to be folded back several times.

The best salve in tbe world for Cut Bruises, Sores, Ulcers, Salt Rheum, struction company and Its kindred corporation?. No later than yesterday stockholders of the Macon Construction company were refusing $350 for their stock. To-day It is practically valueless. The collapse of the enterprise has been caused by tbe withdrawal of John M. Robinson, of the Seaboard Roanoke, from the deal by which he was to guarantee the bonds of tbe Georgia Southern and Florida road aud complete the connecting link be tween tbe G. C. & N. at Fiber ton and the G. S. & F* at Macon. A few weeks ago, it will be remem be red, the announcement was made with a flourishing of trumpets that this deal had been completed aud the papers signed in Baltimore, betweeu President Sparks, of tbe Construction company, and Mr. Robinson. It now appears that the agreement was a conditional one. Mr. Robinson came to Macon a few days ago and made a personal inspection ot the Georgia Southern’s affairs, after which In company with President Sparks, hr made a tour over the road. Last night President Sparks came back to Macon alone and it was learned that the Rob inson party bal returned to Baltimore by way of Savannah. Ic appears that President Robinson did not find the outlook here as ros eate as he had expected. In fact. It Is understood that the showing made ,by an inspection of the-books was by no means as encouraging as President Robinson had been led to expect. In coneequence of this discrepancy he de clared the deal off. Soon after President Sparks returned yesterday aiternoon the collapse came m the form of a petition for a receiver for the Macon Construction company by McTiglie & Company, the largest contractors in the employ of the com pary, who hold claims againsr the company for several hundred thousand dollars. Judge Miller appointed W. B. Sparks temporary receiver. The Macon Construction company and the Macon and Savannah Con struction company are In reality the Ksme. The Macon Construction com pany built and have operated tbe Georgia Southern and Florida road, and have been building the Macon and Birmingham road now completed and operating between Macon and La- Grange. The Macon and Savannah Construction company was organized to build the Macon au«l Atlantic road from Macon to Colleton on the Atlan tic coast near Port Royal. But a small jortlon of thU road, however, has been completed. The Ma«on and Sa vannah Construction company own a Urge tract of land at Colleton, tbe deeds to which are In the name of W. B. Sparks. The downfall of the magnificent schemes ot which Willis B. Sparks was the head, created a tremendous sen«s- tion here, where practically ail the stock in the two construction compa nies Is held. The wreck means the Joss of hundreds of thousands of.dol lars, only prospective-profits* but bard cash to the Macon stockholders. When die deal between. Robinson and •Sparks for the control of the Georgia and Florida was announced, Macon Construction stock, whose par value iVH8 $10,000 a share, jumped to $40 000, and could not be had at that price. The stock holders were jubilant. Not or.ly had they realized 400 per cent, profit, but they saw golden visions of other mormons profits to come from the completion of the Macon and Bir mingham and Macon and Atlantic ro*ds. It Is needles** to «ay that there was “waillug and gnashiug of teeth” last night when men who had been re fusing four to oue for their stock, lesrned that they had securities in an exploded enterprise. His father, Dr. Albert Fenscb, Is a steward In the hospital at McPherson’s barracks. He entered the Southern Medical college last fall, and brought his little baby boy with him to the college on one occasion. The little fellow seemed very much Interested ia the things he saw and heard at the college, and so quickly did he grasp the difficult names attached to the human bones and mus cles and arteries that the attention of the faculty was attracted and some of the members began asking the little fellow questions. They saw that he was a pbeuomenal child, and on Wed nesday night one oi them stated to a Journal reporter that little Albert was nothing short of a prodigy. He wa3 born five years ago In tbe west, where his father was stationed at an army post. Be came to Atlanta with his father and mother shortly after the barracks was established here. The little fel low was a perfect blonde, with large and innocent looking blue eyes, and golden colored hair failing in curls about his shoulders. He has a baby look in(his face, but his bead is quite large for his age. He is a very band- some boy, aud has an attractive, intel ligent face. As stated above be cannot read on account of bis youthful age, and yet when his father is not at home be asks his mother to read page alter page of anatomy to him. He understands everything that is read to him out of this difficult book that the average student finds it so dll- cult to master on beginning the study of medicine. Dr. Nicholson, one of tbe faculty of the Southern Medical college, says little Albert could pass an examination on anatomy equal to that taken by half the students at the college this yean He has frequehtly visited tbe dis secting rooms, but shows no sign of horror at the sight of a dead body. He seems not to see the body but looks with pleasure upon- the bone, the mus cle or the artery abont which be has been told. Dr. A. G. Hobbs, one of tbe faculty, recently delivered a lecture to the stu dents ou the eye, telling them about the contraction of certain muscles. Albert was present on this occasion. After the lecture Dr. Hobbs quizzed him about the points be had made. He was much surprised to learn that tbe child had grasped his ideas, for be ex plained the most difficult points of the lecture, showing that he fully under stood it. On another occasion when Albert was present with his father, Dr. Hobbs •sked him to name the. three smallest bones in the human body. He did not know their names, and. looked at his father with a pained expression on his face as If to say: “Why have you not taught this to me?” The next morning the little fellow came to the office of Dr, Hobbs and said: Doctor, I can name the bones for you now. The three smallest bones in the body are found together In the ear. Their names are ‘malleus‘Incus’ and stapes.* ” The little fellow expects to coatiuue his study of. medicine at the next ies- ►iou of the college, and if he keeps on improving and if Ids mind expands ana grows like that of an ordinary child, he will make a physician whose career will astonish the world. MANGLED BY A LION. A Terrible Sc.se Wiinosed at tfei Paris lllppsiisutr. Paris, March II.—A terrible scene, by Which a well-known lion tamer will lose Iris life, was witnessed at the hip podrome iu this city to-day. The spec tacle of “Nero” is being prepared at the hippodrome, and one of the features of the show, as proposed, is an attack by a nutpher of lions upon wooden fig ures so arranged in the arena as to represent human beings. Scetz, the lion tamer, had just concluded the day’s drilling or (raining of six lions for this perfornanco and was driving them hack into their cages, when one of them suddenly refused to re-enter bis cage.*. Seetz managed to cage the re maining five lions, and then turned his attention to the rebellions animal, .which had angrily taken refuge in a neighboring passage. Seetz tried to dislodge the refractory Hon, but tripped and lost lioUl of tils lance, tiie weapon rolling severe I yards away from him. Before the li»»n tamer could regain possession of the lance tbe an gry lion sprang upon the unfortunate man, hurled him to the floor and bit and rent Inui in a most fiosriMe man- her, Seetz’s crW f.,r help soon brought another of the trainers to the scene. The other caught up the lance and gal lantly attacted the lion, inflicting a severe wound with the weapon In the animals lorebead. Cowed by the Wound received, tbe Hon released Seetz and slunk into its cage. Medical as sistance was promptly sent for and everything possible was done to save the Hon tamer’s life, bnt the latest re ports are that be Is in a dying condi tion. Afiircmtil to E«(ab!i»h the Kin dom of God on Enr.h, ITill Go Out Amid Tears. Miss Desha, an accomplished South ern lady and the sister-in-law of Con gressman Breckenridge, of Kentucky, has resigned her position as the secre tary of that well.known female organi zation, called the “Wimodanghsis Club,” because she was opposed to a young negro woman being admitted as a member of one of the classes. The board of directors, however, decided that the color line should not be drawn, and reported In favor of the applica tion of the negress despite the protest of a number of Northern ladies who sided with Miss Desha, and took the ground that they would, under certain circumstances, be thro wo in social con tact with the colored member if she were allowed to join tbe club, and that this was something that they did not care to submit to, and then they made it clear to the board of directors that they heartily support the position taken by Mi»3 Desha. Iti3 now well understood at Washington, that when the action of tbe directors is considered at tbe next meeting of the club the life of the concern -will go out amid tears, the tossing of head Costly Fare for a Day Laborer. digging post holes on the lake front for the world’s fair for $1.50 per day and paying $8 a day board, at tbe Aud itorium, says tbe Chicago Tribune, will not increase a man’s bank ac count, bnt Will Maharisone who has had some experience In that direction. He is at present a guest at tbe big hotel, but as he was somewhat pecu liar in his manner, and especially in his dress, be received a call from Clerk Will Shafer. Ho was told he attracted too much attention from the guests in the dining-room. He now takes his meals in the cafe. Mr. Mahar, to say the least, Is ec centric. Last week the crowds of peo ple that gathered to see the shovelful of earth dog up on the lake front by the laborers saw Mr. Mahar step for ward with his shovel and begin work. As long as there was employment for the laborers Mahar earned his .$1.50 per day, and just as regularly his bill at the Auditorium' Increased at the rate ot $8 per day. As Mahar does not resemble Ward McAllister or any of the other prosperous looking guests of the house. Mr. Shafer modestly sug gested to the eccentric boarder one day last week, as It was “near the first of the month, he had better settle bis ac count*.” Why, certainly, replied Mahar, and pulling from his pocket a roll of bills, paid what was due the bouse and de manded a receipt. Yesterday Mahar occupied his time In walking up and down the hotel ro tunda. His make-up wa* a unique on«j Mahar said it was his own pat ent. It consisted of a black pair of trousers, held up by a stout piece of cord tied tightly around his waist, a soiled white shin, and a silk hat of the vintage of 54. J “Don’t you find living at the Aud itorium rather expensive?” he was asked. >*My aesets are $2,400, and I guess 1 can board at the Auditorium if 1 want to,” replied Mahar. He says be is waiting for the con tractors to begin work on the lake front when he Intends to resume his world’s fair job. In tbe meantime he continues to pay his $8a day for board. He says be dug up the first shovelful of earth for the great World’s Exposi tion. He has a Hunk filled with dirt in bis room. The soil, he says, once occupied the space now filled by a post on the lake front. Bhcnmatun Cared la a Day. “Mystic Cure” for Rheumatism and Neuralgia radically cures in 1 to 3 days.

Dovre and one or two men associated with him thiufc that the world is abont to be revolutionized generally. They have founded “Tho Commonwealth of Jesus,” which with a membership of four or five, lias just issued its “invitation.” In its reli gions phase members are supposed en tirely to abandon the world, the flesh, and tho devil, dispose of all projierty to others or to the commonwealth, and follow the example of Christ in their lires. In its practical workings the Commonwealth of Jesus proposes to carry out Bellamy’s Idea of co-opera tion in the name of the Lord. The long constitution which Mr. Dowo has prepared provides for a governing council of twolve men and women, who shall establish and superintend the practical features of t'uo co-opera tive society’s working, as well regulate the religious, moral, social, educational and domestic life of the society. Tho commonwealth shall be the sole employer of the time and labor of the members, and the sole provider of the necessities and comforts of Hie All, ho matte^ what their talents tr services may be, shall be paid equally In checks receivable for goods. The council shall adjust all differences and hear alloompiaints, and members must bind themselves not to appeal to any civil court. Mr. Dowe expects his new society to accomplish that perfection which the world has never been able to bring forth before, by- “show ing tbe true way” to gain happi ness and avoid pain, expecting that men will “choose it naturally and gladly,” It is thus that Mr. Dowe dis poses of the difficulties which might be supposed to be found in frail hu- mairfiature as It exists In this world. “Now, friend,” says Mr. Dowe’s pamphlet, “you can readily see that if Ignorance Of the true way tolive.ia the cause of his ambition, pride, ete., and consequent pain, the knowledge fif the true way must be the remedy that will remove the cause. There fore We preach Jesus aud the universal will of God, and deny sell and the in dividual will of self.” In response to an advertisement of the first meeting four elderly men met Mr, Dowe, an associate, and one wo man, at 625 Octavla street, yesterday afternoon. After a song and prayer; Mr, Dowe, a man of about 35 years, proceeded to explain the purposes of tho proposed society. “There arc abundant indications, he said, “that a destruction of tbe pres ent political, social and religious struc tures is impending.

Atlanta, March 12.—TTie rueful prospect now appears to be that Macon will be forced to give up her hopes of the permanent encampment, at least fof this year. The serious doubt cast upon the con stitutionality of the law make it more thah probable that the advisory board will suffer the whole scheme to go by the board, suspending action till the legislature can convene and cure the defects of tbe act. Further than that, it looks as if it were out of the question for tho mili tia to take the field at all this summer. The matter Is In such a mes3 that the court* alone can decide what the law is, and Upon them there Is no excuse for calling. The adrisory board cannot take ac tion under either the old or the new law without first practically passing on the constitutionality of the latter. Tho board has no power to decide the point, and it seems settled that it will do nothing, WHAT TH« GOVERNOR WILL DO. When ft meets the governor will •end in a message laying before the body the protests filed against she meth od in which Macon was selected for the permanent camp, algo the points made against the validity of the law. He may probably go farther and rec ommend that action, under the circum stances, be suspended. Your Correspondent has good reason for the belief that members of the board already incline toward calling a halt and that no further steps will be taken toward preparing for the encampment. There Is little doubt that it may be con sidered “off” for the present. THS SIGNING OF THE ACT. Gov. Northen signed the act under very embarrassing circumstances, no discovered it* flaws a few days before the adjournment of the assembly and suggested more than once to the mem ber* interested in Its passage that it be withdrawn and started through the legislative mill In a better shape.
