Some Time it Mar Be Nectunry For

A SILVER GRAB,
From the London Standard.
A learned German, who has devoted
, himself to the study of physiology,
4 authropoiogy, and allied sciences,
makes the rather startling assertion
that mustaohes are beoomlng com
moner among women in the present
day than in the past.
He tells that In Constantinople
among the unveiled women that are to
be met with, one out of ten possesses
an unmistakable covering of down on
the upper lip. In the capital of Spain,
again, the proportion of ladies with
the masouline characteristic is said to
be quite equal to that observable on
the Golden Horn. An American ined-
f leal man states that in Philadelphia
fully 3 per cent, of the adult fnir sex
are similarly adorned, and probably
the proportion would be still larger
but that many women take the trouble
to eradicate the unwelcomed growth
by the application of depilatory prep
aratlons. Is this increace in the num
ber of women with hair on their faoes
to be regarded as a sign that the hu
man race is improving? Very few
men, at all events, will be disposed to
consider that a mustache adds to the
It charms of the opposite sex. English
men, indeed, only a generation ago,
had such a -detestation of mustaches
and beards that the practice of shav
ing all the hair olf the face down to
their mutton-chop whiskers was all
but universal. From one extreme <^ir
clean-shaven fathers plunged into the
other, and beards and mustaches rap
idly became the fashion.
The fashion has of iate years been
f modified. Beards arc less common,
f but the mustache is cultivated in
England ns widely as on the continent.
But why should the fair sex be visited
by this infliction? Home writers on
ethnology hold that the higher races
of mankind are always the hairier,
and Mr. Mott thinks that in a few
centuries men and women will all he
clothed in hair. But we do not be
lieve Mr. Mott; and we certainly do
not oa're to live to see the day of beard
ed beauty.

A Negro named Willlan Johnson
committed, a bold theft In the shoe
store of Mr, Joseph Enrllch this
last Saturday morning.
lie made a regular “silver grab.”
Johnson is a Negro who has been
in trouble for stealing before, nnd was
paid out of the chain-gang only a few
months ago by Mr. II. II. Tarver.
Saturday morning he came to the city
from tile Tarver plantation ill com
pany with the well-known Sam Satan,
the Negro giant. Sam went into
Ehrlich’s store to buy a pair of siloes,
and Johnson followed hint.
At|tbe time the two Negroes entered
the store Mr. Ehrlich was alone, nnd
was making up his cash nreount at
his desk in the bnck part of the store.
Ills olerk, Mr. Maynard Brooks, was
nt breakfast.
While Mr. Ehrlich was waiting on
Sam the latter saw Johnson grab
something from the desk and skip out
through the bnck door, lie called Mr.
ElirliohV attention to what-he had
seen, and investigation showed that
ten dollars'and a half had disap
peared from the desk where Mr. jElir-
lich had left it.
About this time Mr. Brooks came in,
and was dispatched to call an officer.
As lie went out into the street lie saw
Johnson crossing Broad street and
wnlking down toward Muse’s ware
house. lie asked Mr. J. S. Davis,
whom lie met on the street, to, keep
his eye on the Negro while lie (Mr.
Brooks) wns finding an officer. Mr.
Davis followed the Negro. The latter
walked rapidly, huf Mr. Davis kept
close upon him. Thc Negro evidently
discovered that he was being pursued,
nnd pulled out his knife. This wns a
quiet dare which Joe Davis couldn’t
take, and so, drawing his own knife,
he rushed upon the Negro and grab
bed him. Fortunately for Mr. Davis
and for himself, too, perhaps, the Ne
gro made no resistance. Meantime
Mr. Brooks had found Officer McLarty
and was not far away when Mr. Davis
grabbed liis man.
The money was found on the Ne
gro’s person, and, seeing that he had
been caught, he acknowledged the
theft. He was tnken to jail, and will
probnbly not find anybody willing to
pay him out of lil» trouble when he is
again sentenced to the ohaingang.

BRUNSWICK’S SCOURGE.
TORY IVJEIIIS DRUNK.
Binvc Unto Death*
From the Early County Nows,
Cowards are hated and brave men
loved the world over; and though it is
never known when or by what means
those sublime exhibitions of courage
which command the admiration and
homage of mankind will be brought
about, they nevertheless come, oftimes
least expeoted, so full of glorious hero
ism as to bear evidence of speolal
shaping by the hand of Providence.
Such was the case In t'he tragic death
of Mr. B. K. Smith, of Albany, who
died last week In that city, and of
whioh we make short mention else
where.
It Is strange—passing strange—how
this brave man, now beyond tbe reach
of finite'praise to cheer, could, by tbe
manner in whioh be bore his last suf
ferings, not only doubly endear him
self to those who already knew and
loved him, but gather to his memory
the greatest admiration of strangers
who read the simple story of his heroic
death.
The warrior, trained and prepared
for war, indeed dies gloriously when
upon the field of battle ho expects to
die; yet there is sublimer glory in the
death of him who, in one short mo
ment, turns from all the allurements
of life, and without one tremor calmly
faces inevitable death. *Thus did, thUB
died, B. K. Smith.
Those who hold in high esteem the
nobler attributes of man bend in rev
erential sorrow over his new-made
grave and drop the casBia tribute of
respect upon hie sleeping ashes.
Postponed.
Mrs. J. S. Davis, who has charge of
the Baptist church concert, which has
been announced'to be given early in
Ootober, requests the Herald to an
nounce that the entertainment will be
postponed until some time in Novem
ber. Mrs, T. J. Simmons, of the Union
Female College at Eufaula.who is ex
pected to contribute much to the en
tertainment through her musical and
elocutionary talents, writes that, on
acconnt of the demands upon her time
so soon after the opening of the Fall
term of the oollge, it will be almost
impossible for her to leave her duties
for even a day or two during the
month of October. The concert will,
therefore, be postponed until some
time in November,' when Mrs. Sim
mons can come, and due notice of the
date .fixed for tbe entertauiment will
be given in tbe Herald.
An excursion from Lyons, Ga„ to
Albany, via the A., F. & N. road, was
scheduled to reaoh Albany Monday |at
11:80 o'oluok a. m.„ but an nnlooked
for interference of municipal author
ity through the agency of quarantine
regulations now in foroe, called the
train to a halt at the oamp of inspec
tion a mile and a half north of the oity.
Tbe darkies poured fortli in squad
rons when the stop was made, and
their consternation and feeling of out
raged gentility can well be imagined
when they were informed by Sheriff
Edwards and his assistants that “all
of you who enter the city must first
show iron-clad health certificates.”
“Do, Jesus,” said one old mammy,
and there was a ease of spontaneous
indignation manifest among the
young bucks who left home with their
flasks only half full of bug juice, and
who had counted on replenishing their
supply in “Sandy Bottom” and “Smoky
Row ”
The hold up of the excursion was
diiotoashortoonfereuoeMonday morn
ing between City Physician Illlsman,
Mayor Gilbert and several of the city’s
aldermen, who deemed It unsafe to
allow the excursionists to enter the
city.
Tlie quarantine officers went
through the crowd as rapidly as pos
sible. Many among them had been
provident enough to procure health
certificates, and were allowed to pass,
but when the train finally pulled into
tlie city it had aboard about a hundred
anil fifty or two hundred less souls
than when it stopped at the quaran
tine station a while before.
The crowd that came into the city
wns quite n good sized one, many of
them white personsi A brass band
consisting of eight pieces boasted
eight leaders, every one of whom kept
eight different beats of time, and
played eight tunes at once for all their
hearers knew. Oh! that band was
vile, nml the officers threatened to sup
press it ns a publio nuisance and lia
ble to create a stampede among horses
in the streets,

The Clip Physicians Convinced Agnlusl

wick.
Here Is an editorial from the Bruns-
wlok Times-Advertiser that will be
read with interest by the outside
World:
“‘It is common for people who have
lifid the prevailing slokness in their
families, after being pronounced by
the attending physioians, to come
down town and deny It, giving many
extravagant reasons for so deolnrlng,
|!In this respect it seems that Bruns
wick is burdened with fools.
"Brunswlok has had the advantage
of : very prominent testimony in this
mutter. Our oity physicians have
been convinced against their wills.
Prominent and well-wishing citizens
have been forced to withdraw their re
sentment, and admit that yellow fover
is here.
“And the man who sets hfs judg
ment against the phyBioians, whose
work is to find and suppress this
trouble, is morally responsible for
every death that occurs from neglect
or proper treatment.
“Every conoealment is n menace to
tho community and a hazard to the
life of tho one concealed.
“We do not know that any case is
being concealed, but in behalf of the
oity, Its people, and of common hm
inanity, it Is a duty nt this time to re
port every case of slokness in the city,
whatever Its nn'ture, and to follow the
directions of the physician called in.
“The peculiar range of the fever in
this oity is puzzling the doctors. It
leads them to fear that there is con
cealment. And if it is being conceal
ed It will burst upon us some of these
mornings with such terrible foroe as
that the hurried work of tho under
taker will tell the story that none oan
deny.
“There is everything to gam by
.promptly reporting sickness. It guar
antees the best medioal attention nnd
nursing if needed. It inflicts no lia
bility if not needed.
"It is Important to have the truth
no v, and there is but one way to get
it.’'People must report any known
siokness to the Board of Health.”
Early Monday morning Olfioer
Barron arrested Tom Bales, colored,
for drunk and disorderly conduct on
Broad street. Bales was preparing^

as he pleased while seated in his

Th* Country Editor ol the Fair.
From tiio Chicago Dispatch.
The country editor who visits the
World’s Fair henceforth will have cer
tain privileges not accorded to ordi
nary mortals. He will not be obliged
to pay 60 cents in order to get past the
proud and haughty gateman. Not he!
Immediately after arrivingln town he
will send his Credentials to Maj.
Handy at the Fair, with the requeBt
for the usual press courtesies. Maj.
Handy will make out a pass and send
it to Director General Davis for bU in
dorsement. Afterward it will be re
turned to Maj. Handy. Time, three
days. Board and lodging can be se-
pured in passable quarters down town
for $4 a day. Tbe editor who oan
spare only four days at the Fair can
easily save 60 cents the fourth day-by
making application for a pass on the
first. Of course he will lose $12 in tbe
meantime, but who cares fir a little
thing like that?
Chinese Month Oraooe.
The mouth organ is the most ear
splitting of ail Chinese musical instru
ments. Those who have attended a
Chinese theater or a Chinese funeral
have remarked the sharp, pieroing
notes of this instrument. Its sound in
nature is that of the gourd, but it ia a
combination of the gourd^metal, wood
and the bamboo. Tbis gives to it that
unearthly sound. It is tbe origin of
tbe eburoh organ, but is made today on
tbe same style of architecture that it
was 2,200 years before the Christian
era—tbe date of the origin of Chinese
music.

Escsntrloltlss of s Great .Hsu's Umbrella.
Tom Reed visited Wall street yester
day, and before he got out lie was the
innocent canse of a great deal of pro
fanity. He wore a gray suit, a straw
hat and a flaring red cravat. In his’
hand he carried a big umbrella. In front
of the Wilkes building he ran across Mr.
Edwin Einstein, who camo in a bad sec
ond to Mr. Gilroy in tho last mayoralty
contest, and the two men stopped on tbe
narrow sidewalk to converse. Mr. Reed
became very much interested in his dis
course on .the silver repeal and waved
his big umbrella in all directions. Tbs

Premiums For Speed*
A tidy little snm has been paid out by
the government ’u premiums to the
builders of naval vessels during tlie pres
ent year. By exceeding the speed re
quired the Bancroft netted her contract
ors $45,000; the Detroit, $150,000; the'
New York, $200,000, and the Mochias,
$45,000, a total of $440,000. Tbis amount
is likely to be increased. The money
may be regarded as well invested if it
does no more than cujl attention to the’
high standard of excellence attain
able by American shipbuilders.—Bos

From the Pittsburg Dispatch.
A mail supposed to bo Seoretary
Hoke Smith passed through the oity last
evening for Chioago. The porter said
It was the Seoretary, for ho know him
well, and he boarded the oar at Wftshr
ington. Senator Don Cameron was a
passenger on the .train us far as Har
risburg. This was confirmed by tele
graph. Hoke, if it was lie, persisted
in denying his Identity. Whoever he
was he looked very much like Hoke
Smith of Georgia. He was a six-footer
or more in height, and his face waB
fat, smooth, and ohubby. Ills body in
general was in keeping with the por
tion of Ills anatomy that appeared
above his oolliir and neoktie.
If it was Holfe he finally got mad at
some of the questions asked. Ills card
was requested and he replied that > lie
could not produoe it, for It wbb one
that snapped, meaning, it is supposed,
that he carried a gun. Somebody sug
gested that he probably kept that for his
competitor, the Atlanta Constitution.
Asked if his name was Smith, he an
swered that the oountry was full of
them. Taking it for granted he was
Seoretary Smith, be was requested for
bis views on the pension question at
present.
“The soldiers will certainly be paid
regularly,” he replied. “Look here,”
he added, “this thing has gone far
enough. I hope I have not said any
thing that will get Hoke Smith in
trouble. I never go through Pitts
burg but I am mistaken for somebody.
To change the subject; did it rain here
to-day?”
“Who are you?” came from the re
porters in chorus.
“I won’t tell,” he said savagely. It
was plain to be seen that Hoke or his
double was badly milled, and it was a
safe time for tbe newspaper gang to
retreat, It was done.
Dog Power.
Is there any valid objection to the
proposition made by tbe American con
sul at the Belgian city of Liege that
mastiffs shall be used in tills country os
b-asts of draft and of burden, as they

Lmi Fart of Hla Finger.
Mr. C. W. Scott, who has for years
been in the employ of Mr. W. W. Raw
lins as butcher, had the misfortupe to
lose a portion of the seoond finger on
bis right hand Monday afternoon,while
operating the steam sausage mill in
Mr. Rawlins’ Broad street shop.
Mr. Soott was engaged in feeding
the meat into tbe mill, which was re
volving very rapidly. His right band
was resting on the edge of the mill,
when it suddenly slipped into tbe cog
wheels that propelled tbe knives.
Almost the entire first joint of tbe
finger was clipped off, hone and all,
and the wound bled profusely.' Dr.
W. L. Davis dressed the finger, and
Mr. Soott is now doing nicely. To the
reporter of the Herald, who saw him
shortly after the accident, he said, "Be
sure to tell ’em that finger didn’t go
into tbe sausage.”

Sunday morning, about 12:80
o’olook, Mr. A. P. Vason was aroused
from his peaceful slumbers by a very
rude awakening. Ono of his Negro
tenants informed him “Dat ’fore do
Lawd, his whole plantashun was
burnin’ lip.”
That was about all that he could get
out of the Negro, so Mr. Vnson pro
ceeded to the scone of the direful con
flagration.
Arriving at his plantation, which is
about three miles north of tlie oity,
Mr. Vason found tlint only one of hie
tenament houses had been burned, and,
while the loss is about $100, lie was
badly sold.
Tho house was occupied by ono of
his Negro hands, and the fire is sup
posed to havo been accidental. There
