CUTLIFF.—Dentist W.T. KmiNs-Photographer, Albany. The round, fat, juicy watermelon is getting ratlier plentiful on the home market. Politics and politics and the weather is all that is heard discussed on the streets these dnys. A great ninny Albany people have gone off to spend the summer at dif ferent resorts, and many are yet to leave. The thermometer is beginning to hump Itself. It is getting up toward the nineties, and has plenty of room to rise yet. A D1BAGRKKAIII.K tllOllgll [lot dllU- gerons epidemic of measles has inva ded Albany. Between twenty and thirty cases nre reported. ' The military in camp at Griffin tl is week nre short of Captains. There are four companies in the camp .under command of Lieutenants. Every Northward bound train from Albany now carries Its quota of pass engers bound for some breezy, healthy spot wherein to spend the summer mouths. Several loads uf due melons were brought into the city this morning nnd marketed. The largest one brought in yet weighed thirty-four pounds. The residences of Messrs. \V. S. Fleming and C. W. Raw-son, on Jack- son street, are rapidly nearing comple tion, end will probably be finished in about three weeks. Jt is stated that Mrs. McKinl,ey takes a deep interest in politics from n personal standpoint, and the Governor of Ohio saya that it is nil he can do to keep up ills side of the argument with her. The contemplated improvements 011 the Dougherty county Court House will make that building one of the handsomest in this section of the State, ft la thought that the grounds will be improved and turned into a park and a town clock pinced in the oupolu. The ilrat stock uompany in America ever operated by women alone is a Woman’s Dormitory Association in connection with the World’s Fair. The association has erected four large dormitories 011 the World’s Fair grounds for the accommodation of women. Lodging in these dormitories will be let at 80 cents a tiight, special privileges given to shareholders. Stock to tlie amount of $125,000 will be issued at $10 a share. The dormitories will be plain, but clean and neat; and each dormitory will accommodate 1,200 women. No mere man wil ibe per mitted to pry within those sacred por tals; so great a personage, even, ns Commissioner General Palmer being refused admission. The dormitories are chiefly intended for ladies who iti- tend visiting the Fair in bodies. Ah ready scores of beds have been en gaged, nnd the flrst stock- company in America ever operated by women alone promises to be a distinct flnati- oiai success^ According to the London Army nnd Navy Gazette tile average Btreligtli of the British army 111 1891 was 209,699, of wliioh number 104,800 were in the British Isles, 72,288 in India, and 82,- 267 in the Colonies and Egypt. The territorial system of recruiting, it has been asserted, simply creates unneces sary confusion; and as that portion of the population which yields the most soldiers is migratory, the Gazette is of the opiiiom that It might be better to take the recruits without reference to territorial divisions. Thera has been some discussion of late in this country as to whether there might not be some gain in a system that would localize recruiting for our own army, which would secure the advantages of ac qunintnnceship nnd comradeship among the recruits, as well as the op portunity of getting men whose ante- cedents would be known, and who would be less liable to desert. The experience of Great Britain with her army is, therefore, worthy of the con sideration of our military experts. The practical utility of athletics is being demonstrated by a relay bicycle courier service between Columbus, O. and Indianapolis. Arrangements have been made by the Indianapolis News and the Columbus Dispatch with the Indianapolis Zig-Zag Club and the bicycle clubs of Columbus, Dayton and Richmond, to carry a message from the editor of the Columbus Dis patch to the editor of the News, and to take back a reply. The idea of adopting athletics to practical journa- lism is an innovation that will be ob served with interest, throughout the country. If it proves successful, it will show that the bicycle, besides being useful for pleasure and' health, may have a wider field of utility. To stimulate the riders to greater efforts, the News has offered a silver cup to the Indiana club making the best time between Indianapolis and Ricmond and the Columbus Dispatch hasJJffered a Bilk pennant to the club making the best time between Columbus and Springfield. or Clnl far and Afcoul the Peaplr. Young people arfe not complaining J of such dull times ns they were a few weeks ago. There is plenty to keep them busy and amused thesednys. Tlie Literary nnd Sonia' Club is a source of much pleasin' 5 to a large number of the voting piople; there Is the festival for tb-porrow evening nnd the Baptist entrainment of Fri day evening to arouse pleasant an ticipations, and tie dancing club twice each week for aiendy pleasure, besides innumerable -nformal evening gath erings, rldlitf and driving parties,and the like, /he summer will not be so devoid ofplensuri' ns many feared. 44- The/oterle of five young ladies who are u-ually so much together is some- wlisc broken up at present. Two of its number are visiting friends out of town; one Is ill, and the rest—well, they, doubtless, are lonely. 4-4- The ladles, all of them, take much interest in linse bnll. Every game nt tlie park finds the grand stand half tilled with representatives of the fnir sex, who understand tlie gnme ns well and are much more enthusiastic, than half of the gentlemen present. Tlie home boys say that tlie ladies always win Imlf the gnme for them by their hearty applause. Good for the ladies 1 44- The young lady who has just re turned from college always receives tlie lion’s share of attention. There is something so pleasing nnd attractive in the freshness and Innocence of 11 sweet young girl who yet looks out oil the world With eyes that speak her onlldenoa in everything a-top of tlie big round ball—so pleasing, that neither beauty, cultivation nor wit quite equnls it. Albany society lias her share of the “sweet girl graduates,” ns well ua those who have yet a year or two years before they call claim the sheep skin—but they all come in for the usual amount of attention. 44* Tlie Literary nnd Social Club prom ises to be tile source of a great deal of pleasure to its members—pleasure and profit, too. A literary progrninme will be arranged for every other Mon day evening, and the plan of the so ciety Is to discuss the writings of dif ferent authors, give selections from them nnd intersperse tlie programme with vocal nnd instrumental music, Miss Allatia Westbrook, a member of the society, who returned a few weeks ago from tlie Female College at Salem, N. C„ has already quite charmed the olub by her rendition of some choice instrumental music. > HVnClMI, MATTERS. Cllr Council in ] II BADLY OCT.

A Mil AM BATTER io IVhnl Ike People of Albany May Wit- How would you like to see a slinm battle? The answers to this question will nil probably be the same, for there ure likely to be very few persons who won’t go a long distance to see seveiity- flve or a hundred men deployed as skirmishers nnd firing at an imaginary enemy, or two opposing forces in bat tle array struggling for the possession of some spot, During tlie encampment at Chica- mauga in 1891, the whole of the two regiments in camp engaged in a sham battle, and persons who witnessed it. say it was one of the most inspiring sights they ever beheld. Now a plan is on foot to have a sham battle in Albany, as there was none at the last encampment. Of course it could not be conducted on such a large scale, but could be easily arranged so as to make an Interesting spectacle, as well as furnish those engaged in It with a great deal of vuluahle instruc tion. A reporter of tlie Herald saw Capt. W. E. Wooten this morning,and found that two plans were on foot in regard to the matter. One is to get about forty members of the Guards inter ested, and drill them up so that they understand tlie principles of skirmish ing thoroughly. Besides giving skirmish battle, two companies, of twenty men each; can be formed, and engage in a regular tactical battle. The other plan is to invite a com pany from some neighboring town to come over and join with the Guards, thus making a more imposing array. At the next meeting of the company the matter will be thoroughly dis cussed, and it is thought final arrange ments made. There will be no trouble about getting ammunition, as the com pany already has 500 rounds, and can easily get more. The battle will probably take place either at Arcadia, on the Cutliff place, just west of the city, or in the pine woods in the rear of the Albany Academy. If matters can be arranged so as to have the battle, it will make an inter esting and imposing Bight, and the whole of Albany will go out to wit ness it. ■: Remnant Bargains, in lengths from one to fifteen yards, to-morrow at 15-3 Hoemayer & Jones.

W. ltilburn requested Council to reduce tlie amount of as sessment on his lot on Pine street from $1,000 to $400, whioll lie consid ered the real value of the property. Tlie matter was referred to the City Assessors, The Finance Committee, when called on, requested further time before re porting on the matter of buying the Tift well. The question pending I11 regard to the settlement of the Gary Pitman matter by ills bondsmen for $3,000, came up, mid after a great deni of dis cussion, was referred to Aldermen Wesiosky, Cassidy and Lockett, to confer with the Citv Attorney nnd the bondsmen to nrrango a final settle ment of the matter. Tlie city bonds were received from Messrs. Walker, Evans & Cogswell Co. this morning,‘and It was moved that one of them be sent to Messrs. N. W. Harris & Co. for approval, before they nre signed by the olty officials. The work on the bonds did not give entire satisfaction, and they may be rejected. 1 The contract committee was re quested to find out the best and cheap est means of hauling the iron piping, hydrants‘ami other waterworks ma terial from tlie depot to different por tions of the olty. On motion of Alderman WeBlosky, the Mayor appointed Alderman Lock ett to employ Henry Asbury on a sal ary of $1.25 a day to repair all breaks In the system of waterworks, pipes and'hydrants. No other business, Council ad journed. Doesn't Came Cp to Wiro-Ornaa Dears,u< It will be remembered that several weeks ago Mr. 3. W. Gunnison, having sold out (ils business in Albany, left for Texas on -what might be called prospecting tour through the Lone Star State.: Many Albanians feared that Mr. Gunnison might' find things so in viting in the West that the city would lose him through its attractions, but a postal card, written by lilm to a gen tleman in Albany several days ago, shows that lie has no intention what ever of leaving 11s. After speaking of some business matters, Mr. Gunni- son says: “Texas is a great State, but when it it comes to get up and get, Georgiu can see her blind.” Old wire-grass Georgia is ahead, and will stay there. News reached the city about 8 o’clock p. m. Wednesday that Mr. A. A. Collier, of Warwick, commonly known in Albany as “Holl" Collier, Imd been seriously cut in a difficulty last utglit. The full particulars could not be learned before going to press, but It seems Hint last night Mr. Collier in some way became Involved in a diffi culty with one John Posey, who drew a knife and cut Mr. Collier in four places. Two wounds, reaching to tlie lungs, were made in the brenst, nnd two dangerous outs, one on enoli side, in the abdomen. Mr. Collier is a brother of Mr. Ben Collier, of this city, ami his many friends here hope that he may soon re- oover from Ills dnugeroiiB hurts. You’ll Have flO TROUBLE With our Ties and Shirts.
