GEORGIA AT CHICAGO.
Legislators Gaze Upon the Architectu¬
ral Panorama of the World’s Fair.
A special of Friday front Chicago says:
The fair in Georgia legislature saw the world’s
bare been a snow deterred storm. They would not
has by a blizzard. Thera
never been anything on the earth to
approach this exposition even in its pres¬
ent stage, and it is not probable that it
will be repeated for a century to come.
The magnificent architectural panoramas
spread out on the shore of Lake Michi¬
gan were such that only the most exalted
imagination alone could conceive, but
find no parallel for.
The party reached the Windy City in
time for breakfast at the Auritorium. At
II o’clock the Georgians went out on a
private train to the fair grounds. Judge
Bryan, a special commissioner of the ex¬
position, accompanied them. Busses
met them at the gates and thty were
driven everywhere in the grounds. Sev¬
eral buildings were entered and viewed
from end to end.
OB AND BEYOND IMAGINATION.
The scope of the exposition is grand
beyond wonders imagination. That septom of
so boasted of by the ancient
world would he almost commonplace
even in a combination beside the vast
modern marvel. There is one building in
which a dozen structures like Georgia’s
state capitol could be stored away.
The cost of the fair buildings when
finished will be eight millions, and they
are alt nearing completion with the ex¬
ception of a few state and foreign struct¬
ures. Fifty nations, and thirty-seven
colonies will be represented and every
one of these fifty foreign nationalities
has its own home. Thirty-one states
and two territories have their individual
buildings.
But Georgia’s name nowhere appears.
Her noble motto, “Wisdom, justice, mod¬
eration,” nowhere gruels the eye and
thrills the patriotic hearts of her repre¬
sentatives. They would have been deeply
mortified had it no! been for the convic¬
tion that the state will avail itself of tbe
rare During opportunity. the drive arouud the grounds
a
snow storm came in from the lake, but
the southerners muffled up well and took
it gleefully. Alt wi re deeply impressed
oy what they saw, and every member of
tire party realizes that Georgia will be
makings mistake if she does not send
an exhibit here. 'The only question is
the method of proceeding.
Returning from (he grounds, Governor
Noitben, Speaker Atkinson, Colonel Bill
Smith, of Gwinnett, Camp, of Douglas,
Colonel tYrenn, Judge Bryan and others
made brief speeches in ihe speiial car.
Governor Northen strongly urged the
legislature to do all in their power to
get an appropriation for a state exhibit.
Colonel Atkiosou su'd that Georgia
ought to have a fitting display of her
resources here. .
ORANGE GROWERS HAPPY.
They Stand a Good Showing of Getting
a Rebate on Freight.
In court at Jacksonville, Fla., Wed¬
nesday, Judge Swayne made an order
sustaining the deeisb n of the interstate
commerce commission in Ihe fain us
orange rates suits. This order enjoins
the 8avnnoah, Florida and Western Rail¬
way Company and the Ocean Steamship
Company from charging a higher points freight than
rate on oranges to eastern
than that allowed by the commbsion to
be “just and reasonable.” Prior to 1899
the rate had been SO cents per box to
New York and proportionately to all east¬
ern points. In November of that
year all railway men and steam¬
ship lines made a combine, raising
the rate to 40 cents. An commission, appeal wus
taken to the interstate
which some months Inter tendered a de¬
cision estab isbing the rate of 25 cents to
New York and proportionately to other
eastern points. The commission is, how¬
ever, not clothed by law with the power
to enforce its decisions, and the plaintiff,
the Florida Fruit exchange, of Jackson¬
ville took tbe case to the United States
court. By the above order of tbe court a
rebate of 5 cents per box is ordered
paid to all eastern shippers of fruit
since November 1, 1890. This will ag¬
gregate $20,000 for the iwo years to be
distributed to the growers and shippers
of oranges in the state, and marly
$25,000 on fruit shipped so far this sea¬
son.
The order goes into effect at once, and
will stand, unless, upon an appeal oeing
taken to the supreme court, this ruling
should be reversed. The transportation counsel
lines are also ordered to pay the
ices of the plaintiff, $5,000 and costs
Congressman elect Cooper, of the secon d
Florida district, argued the ca«e for the
plaintiffs, and Hon. J. E. Hartridge for
the defendants.
A SLICK RASCAL.
A Clerk in the Sab-Treasury at New
Orleans Comes to Grief.
A YYashington special of Friday says:
United States Treasurer Nebeker is
advised of the arrest in New Orleans cl
J. L Mootieu, cash clerk ia the sub
treasury at New Orleans for pilfering
money twgA containing silver. Each bag
contains 1,000 silver dollars, and it was
the duty of Moutieu to count the money,
put it into a bag and sign tbe tag. He
v. 8 9 detected by the assistant treasurer
taking one silver dollar from each
bag he put up. He made a confession, n’t
saying, however, that the total sin i
of his pilfering would not reach $500.
Toe assistant treasurer has gone before
tte grand jur y and expects to secure an
indictment against Montieu. He has or¬
dered a recount of all the money in the
New Orleans sub-treasury, about $10,
.00.000 in all. It will take a month to
c unt it and will be an expensive under
liking.

AN agreement probable.
The Ultimate Suecess of the Monetary
Conference Assured.
A cablegram of Tuesday from Brussels
says; The committees appointed by the
international monetary conference to
consider the proposals of Mr. Alfred de
Rothschilds, will also consider the plans
suggested by M. Levi and Professor
Adolphus Soother. Professor Soelber’*
plan is to establish one gramme of fine
gold as the international unit of value
and to stop the minting of coins contain¬
ing less than 5.8005 grammes if pure
gold. Tbe circulation of coin of foreign
countries of less than new standard
will be prohibited by the countries sign¬
ing an agreement, and gold coin of infe¬
rior value will be withdrawn within five
years. Private inviduals will be allowed
to coin gold upon the payment of an
agreed seigniorage. Gold certificates
may be issued against gold held in re¬
serve. Professor Soelber’s plan also in¬
cludes the coinage of silver in the pro¬
portion of twenty value units of that
motal to one of gold, but private indi¬
viduals will not be allowed the free
coinage of silver. Of the comm ttee five
are avowed bimetallists, six monometal¬
lists and one is doubtful. It will sit
twice each day. It is the general expect¬
ation that Mr. de Rothschild’s proposal*
will be accepted by the committee and
referted to the conference and govern¬
ments with the modifications suggested Professor
by tbe schemes of Mr. Levi and
Soelber. One of tbe medications will un¬
doubtedly be that all gold coins below
the value of twenty francs be with
drawn from circulation and replaced the Ger¬ by
silver notes. The adhesion of
man delegates is considered certain, as
llerr do Cleben, formerly president main lines of
reichstag, approved the
Professor Soelber’s proposal. The French
representatives will also accept the plan,
which was communicated by M. Tirard,
French ex-minister of finance, and
favornbly received by the French
gates before it wbb submitted to the
terence.
With tbe prospects an agree¬
ment, nobody now talks of the failure of
the conference, which at first was the
only prediction. It is reported that the
conference will likely conclude next
week. disposed
The American Rothschild’* delegate* are proposals
to support Mr, on

UNLUCKY BANK ROBBERS.
They Made a Big Haul but Were
Quickly Captured.
A most dariug bank tirobbery occurred
Tuesday altiruoon in Allentown, ,N. J.
Two young men entered the Farmers’
National bank nnd, with drawn revol¬
vers, demanded all the ca-h on hand.
Cashier Hutchbon and an assistant
were the only employes present. The
weapon was held at the bead of each

forcible demand with the words.
“We’ll blow your Iliads off if you don’t
turn all your stuff over at once.” Cash¬
ier Hutchison quickly complied with
this request and handed over about
$2,000 which lay on the counter before
him. '1 lien one of tbe robbers compelled
the cashier and clerk to go to the wall
and turn their beads while the other rob¬

POLITICS IN CHURCH.
A Strange State of Affairs in Country
Churches in North Carolina.
A Raleigh Western special says; The North
Carolina Hethodiat conference
convened Tuesdiy rooming at Alliston’
in the Centenary Methodist Episcopal
oburch, Bi hop Hendrix presiding. The
attendance was large. The third party
and farmers’ alliance movement, not con¬
tent with disturbing political relations
and quiet, is found to have also taken a
hand in religious matters. Most of the
preachers are ardent democrats and mem¬
bers of the country congregations, who
are members of Gideon’s band, or, under
its yoke, have declined in mauy cases to
pay church assessments and a number of
pastors have received for this reason only
about half their salaries. A number of
them bavo resiguod their pastorate on
this scoount.
