In the triumphal arch and colonnade
which is to be erected at Madison
Square for the Dewey celebration,
New York City is to have a work
which, in the opinion of the National
Sculpture Society, will surpass any¬
thing that has before been realized
for such a purpose in sculpture dec¬
oration.
In geueral plau the arch will re¬
semble the Arch of Titus. The Ro¬
man design is altered, however, to fit
it for location at the intersection of
four streets by having the main pier3
pierced on the east and west axis of
the arch by smaller opeuings, as i3
done in the Arc de Triomphe in Paris.
This leaves really four piers to the
arch, for the decoration of which a
series of bas reliefs and groups is sug¬
gested, depicting the call to arms, the
battle, the return of the soldiers and
peace. At the sides of these groups
may be placed heroic figures of great
American naval officers. Secretary
Long, at the request of the society,
suggested for representation m those
places the name of Paul Jones,
Decatur, Hull, Perry, McDonough,
Farragut, Porter and Cushing.
Over the maiu entrance will
be bas reliefs symbolizing
the commercial importance of New
York. For the group surmounting
the arch has been suggested a ship
with a figure of Victory in the bow
drawn by four sea-horses. The plans
include also a reviewing-stand which
shall be a part of the general scheme
of decoration for Madison Square. It
is planned to have it decorated with
groups symbolic of Greater New York
aud the five boroughs, and with flags
to make it contrast in color with the
masonry and sculpture effects of the
arch.

which will be involved in carrying

society called to consider the means
of doing the work in the short time

Every member who was present at the
meeting pledged himself without re¬

merchant, Cap challenger and recent

without a yachting cap. So he has had
a coat-of-avms made, and, honestly,
he deserves great credit for the dem¬
ocratic and unassuming way in which
he has complied the emblem.
For the crest he has designed two
horny bauds of labor, one bearing the
flowers of the tea plant the other that
of the coffee plant. These betoken his

humble origin and his means of suc¬
cess in the world. Fidelity to his
native country induces him to place
upon the s hield the Shamrock of Ire¬
land, as well as the Thistle of Scot¬
land, the country in which he made
his first money. At the bottom of the
shield is the horn of plenty, and his
motto, “Labor Conquers All Things.”
It is truly a fitting autobiography in
While passing Whitehall the other
day a stranger to Loudon asked h
policeman if he could point out the
window through which King Charles
passed out to execution. The police¬
man asked: “Who was he?” “Kina
of England, of course,” was the an
swer. “But when was that?” “Over
two hundred years ago.” “Ah, ahl
that was long before my time, sir. I
only entered the force in 1862,” was
the’policeman’s reply. ’"'Sorry I dfjtt’t ‘
tell you.”
NOVEL RIVAL TO
THE
Practical help to the poor, the ig¬
norant, and the sinning, this is the
watchword of the day. The latest
evidence of its workiug in the East
Side of New York is the establishment
of a tea-saloon at 76 Allen street. The
Church Army is sponsor for the new
undertaking, which is managed by
Colonel H. H. Hadley, an enthusias¬
tic Avorker in humanitarian affairs.
Colonel Hadley has many sympa¬
thizers in his belief that hundreds of
people drink beer because it is the
drink most easily obtainable, and that
if other liquids were as cheap and as
easy to get, the consumption of intox¬
icating drinks would be greatly re¬
duced. This is the experiment being
tried at The Open Door, which is the
name of the new temperance venture.
The house taken for the mission was
one of the worst homes of vice in the
crowded neighborhood. It was used
to conceal so many kinds of law-break¬
ing that jts frequenters had to be pro¬
tected from visits of the police by a
system of private alarms. In addition
to this they had secret means of
egress, so that escape was possible in
case of a raid. Colonel Hadley secured
a three years’ lease of this disrepu¬
table building, cleared it of its old
tenants, freshly painted the dingy in¬
terior, and wrought a material as well
as a moral transformation. The first
floor of the building was altered from
a bar of the lowest order, where crime
and hatred were nursed, into the hu¬
manitarian substitute, the tea-saloon.
The effect of a bar is still retained,bul
over the shining counter no moie del¬
eterious drink than well-made tea
ever passes. The equipments which
rest on the counter as accessories
to the drinks are bowls of sugar,
pitchers of cream, and saucers of sliced
lemon. Tea is served either hot oi
cold, to suit the desire of the patron,
and it is also supplemented with a
sandwich or a piece of pie or cake.
The prices charged for these enjoy¬
ments range from one cent for plain
tea to five cents for tea with solids,
aud the price is the same whether the
beverage is hot or iced. As it is the
custom in the neighborhood where the
tea-saloon is established for families
to use the “growler” for bringing
drink from the saloon to the home,
Colonel Hadley has tea on draught to
sell by the quart for outside consump¬
tion. He has even planned an im¬
proved can for carrying it,#itk a central
compartment for tea aud an outside
oue for ice, with faucets arranged for
drawing off either tea or ice water.
In the back of the tea-saloon is ar¬
ranged an assembly-ioom, where it is
the custom to hold mission meetings
every evening, consisting largely of
attractive music, and into these meet¬
ings the patrons wander in increasing
numbers. Upstairs the house is divi¬
ded into twelve rooms, all of which
are furnished, and are rented to de¬
sirable applicants at one dollar a week.
The tea-saloon is opeu from 6 a. m.
to midnight; its patrons are increas¬
ing daily; aud it is expected that it
will be a formidable rival to the liquor
saloon, and will prove the strongest
weapon against alcoholism that phi¬
lanthropy has ever wielded in defence
of the weak and ignorant.—Harper’s.

Lucas Found Guilty of Nnrdor
The jury impaneled in the case of
the state against Will Lucas, the ne¬
gro farm hand indicted for the murder
of Robert Davis, a respected citizen
of DeKa.b county, rendered a verdict,
in the trial at Decatur, of guilty, but
with a recommendation for life im¬
prisonment.
As soor. as the verdict was read the
attorneys for the defense gave notice
of a motion for a new trial.
The crime of which Lucas is ac¬
cused is one of midnight assassina¬
tion, and the victim was one of the
most prominent citizens of the county.
On the night of May 12tli, last, Rob¬
ert F. Davis, hearing a noise in a room
across the hall from his sleeping apart¬
ment, arose and walked into the room,
holding a lighted match in his hand.
Some on the outside fired through
the window, and the bullet lodged in
Davis’ side. Neighbors, hearing the
shot and the screams of the women in
the house, hurried to the scene of the
shooting and found Davis in a dying
condition. After lingering for several
hours he died the next morning.
Suspicion rested on Will Lucas, a
hand formerly employed by Davis on
his farm and was arrested.
Athens Talks Railroad.
The people of Athens are very much
interested in the talk that is now going
the rounds concerning the new rail¬
road that is to be built by the Seaboard
Air-Line.
The mere building of a railroad
from Athens to Augusta will work no
material benefit to Athens, but the con¬
struction of a line either to Chatta¬
nooga or B’rmingham will be of great
benefit to the commercial and manu¬
facturing interests of the Classic City.
Improvements at Cartersville.
Cartersville now seems to be on the
eve of an extraordinary active season
in building and industrial lines, from
the number of enterprises and ira- 1
provements on foot and ij contempla¬
tion.
A new courthouse is within the list
of possibilities, the grand jury having
recommended the building of one. It
is now certain the people of the county
will have a chance to vote on bonds to
-the amount of #30,000 !
Cartersville industries are again
looking up. While iron and manga¬
nese matters are temporarily rather
dormant, the ochre business, which
has been a thrifty one, is now being
pushed more extensively lhau ever be¬
fore. With those running and pro¬
jected, there will be five mills in oper¬
ation within a radius of five miles.
Carrying; Concealed Weapons.
Judge Gaudier iu his charge to the
grand jury of the DeKalb superior
court laid stress upon the lawlessness
of carrying concealed weapons. Since
then the grand jury has indicted a
number for this offense.
The court said that vigorous means
would be adopted to break up the car¬
rying of concealed weapons of all kinds
and that heavy fines would be the rule
in the event of such cases.
Will Goodyear’* Work.
M. L. Marindin, of the United
States coast and geodetic survey, will
begin at once to make arrangements
to survey the new Goodyear dynamite
work on the Brunswick ocean bar.
The survey is for the purpose of de¬
ciding whether, through recent work.
Colonel Goodyear has secured the re¬
quisite depths aud widths to entitle
him to the balance of the $90,000 that
the United States government is to al¬
low him on the contract he now has
with it for deepening this bar. The
survey must show a twenty-five-foot,
depth, two hundred wide and a twen
ty-flve-foot depth one hundred wide.
There is every reason to believe the
depths have been secured and that
Colonel Goodyear will get his money.

YluBignon Elected By Trustee*.
A call meeting of the board of trus¬
tees of the Georgin Normal aud Indus¬
trial school was held in the office of
the state librarian at the capitol a day
or two ago to elect a chairman of the
board to fill the vacancy caused by the
death of ex-Governor Atkinson. The
name of Hon. F. G. duBignon of Sa¬
vannah, was proposed at once and
without opposition Mr. duBignon was
elected unanimously.
The choice of Hon. F. G. DuBignon
as chairman of the board of trustees is
regarded as a highly fitting one, since
from the time the Milledgeville school
was authorized by act of the legisla¬
ture, he has been one of its strongest
friends. At the time of the introduc¬
tion of the measure in the house of
representatives by ex-Governor Atkin¬
son, Mr. DuBignon, who was then
president of the senate, left his sent
and warmly espoused the appropria¬
tion. His support of the bill at that
time, it is said, probably saved the
measure aud ho was warmly congratu¬
lated upon his success by those who
urged the introduction of the bill.
Bibb County’* Tax Return*.
Bibb county’s tax returns for 1899
show an increase over those of last
year. The tax receiver has completed
the work on the books and the increase
was a substantial one.
It is over $600,000, as will bo seen
by the following table:
1898 $15,447,364
1899 16,055,455
Increase $ 608,091
The Willingham cotton mill and the
Payne cotton mill, the Taylor & Peek
Drug Company, the street railtvays,
electric light, telephone aud express
and gas companies are not included in
the returns, and the last four named
make their returns to Comptroller
General Wright. Had these been in¬
cluded in the returns they would no
doubt have shown a greater increase.
Georgia Second In Line.
The battalion of the Fifth Georgia
infantry at Atlanta has been notified
by the officers in charge of the cele¬
bration to be had in New York that
places in liue would be assigned to
the troops of the different states ac¬
cording to the rank the states held
among the officers on board the Olym¬
pia.
Under this arrangement Georgia
will have the excellent position of
second in the line of march on ac¬
count of Flag Lieutenant Brumby
being next in. command to Admiral
Dewey. Vermont will head the pro¬
cession, since Admiral Dewey is a
native of that state.
This is regarded by the officers of
the battalion as an additional induce¬
ment why Georgia should have repre¬
sentation second alone to that of New
York.

Into a River In Indiana.
A carriage containing six persons,
two women and four children, was
precipitated into White river at Wash¬

all were drowned.
The horse had just stepped aboard
the ferryboat when the hawser parted
and the boat swung out, dropping the
carriage into the river.
