Homo OlHoer, n nt , Military Out
Without Authority.
Atlanta, July 3.—Capt. Harvard, of the
Hill City Cadets, and Capt. Williams of
the Rome Light Guards, of Rome may be
oourtmartialed for resending to a call
made by the sheriff of Floyd county Fri
day night. The two men, according to a
statement made this morning by Gov.
Candler, acted without orders, as the sher
iff has no power, under the law. 10 call
out a military company.
It seems that on Friday night last there
w.as a disturbance among the negroes
near Rome, and as ti was a regular meet
ing night of both of the companies, the
sneriff had no trouble in getting the men
together. From reports received, it seems
that the sheriff nsked the assistance of
the companies, and the men agreed to
go.
Gov. Candler said to-day that he had
received no report yet from (he two cap
tains. "They acted without authority "
sai.l the Governor, “and 1 intend to inves
tigate the matter fully. They have no
right to call out the companies at will
and I propose to find out who is at fault
I have received no information from Rome
further thnn two telegrams of lust Sat
urday . I tvill take steps at once to order
the investigation.”
It is strictly set out in the military laws
of the state that the captains or command
ing officers of companies have no right
to order out their commands to assist in
quelling a disturbances, except by ex
press command of the Governor, the'judge
of a Superior Court, or Mayor of a town,
when it is itnixisslbie to communicate
with the Governor. If the officers at
Rome violated the law in this Instance,
i' is likely that a court-martial will re

ARNOLD Ik SII’EIUNTESDENT.
He Will Be in < bulge „f the (Inral
Delivery Service.
Atlanta, Ga., July 3. —John W. Arnold
of Monroe-, Ga.. a Democrat, has been ap
pointed general superintendent of the ru
ral postal delivery in the Southeast. This
embraces Georgia, Alabama. Tennessee,
Mississippi, South Carolina and Florida.
Congressman Leonidas F. Livingston ar
rived here from Washington this morning'
with this nice political plum, worth $2,000
a year, stowed away in his pocket. Col.
Livingston was authorized by the post
office department to appoint a general su
perintendent for the state of Georgia.
Afterward, it was dicided to make this
superintendent’s duties cover all of the
Southeast.
Col. Livingston called at the postoffice
department in Washington soon after the
adjournment of Congress to look after
free rural delivery in his district.
There he was. informed that what was
wanted was a superintendent, and he was
authorized to name a Democrat. He de
cided upon Mr. Arnold, who is n planter
in Walton county.
Mr. Arnold's headquarters will be in
Washington, but be will be traveling near
ly all the time, establishing and perfect
ing the rural service. Mr. Arnold win
leave an assistant in each state, possibly
two or three, when the system is enlarged
as it will be. The sum of $1,500.00 has been
set aside for this delivery service.and Con
gressman Livingston expects that at least
so,oUo,ooj will be appropriated at the next
session of Congress.
11l LSEY WILL RVN AGAIN.
Not Satisfied With flic Primary in
Fulton County.
Atlanta, Ga., July 3.—Judge W. .H.
Hulsey, ordinary of Fulton county, was
recently defeated in the primary for re
nomination to (hat office, by J. M. Wil
kinson, by the narrow margin of 35 vote?.
Now Judge Hulsey has created a deal of
excitement in local political circles, by
threatening to run against Wilkinson in
the general election, which will soon be
held.
The principal claim Judge Hulsey has
against the primary, it i said, fs that it
was a Democratic primary, yet Republi
cans were allowed to vote, and a Demo
cratic candidate is therefore not bound to
abide by the result.
Another claim Judge Hulsey's friends
are putting forth is that he wan beaten
by such a small majority that another
count by the Executive Committee would
have shown that he was elected.
THROWN FROM A BUGGY.

Griffin, Ga.. July 3.—Hearts In Griffin
are made tad by an accident which oc
curred this, afternoon. Mr. and Mrs.
Thomas J. Hallyburton and Mr. Swift
of a brother of Mrs. Hallybur
ton, were out driving when they collided
into a bicycle. The horses became fright

turned over by some large rocks, and the
occupants thrown to the ground.
Mrs. Hallyburton was picked up uncon
scious and carried to nearby house,
where she is still lying in a critical condi
tion. In fact, her condition is extremely
alarming, she is having convulsions at
frequent intervals, and the doctors fear
internal injuries will prove fatal. Mrs.
Hallyburton is a daughter of Col. T. M.

LEVEL OF THE GREAT LAKES.
Unexplained Rise anil Fnll of the
NYnter* of the Inland Sena.
From the Chicago Inter-Ocean.
Among old sailors and engineers who
have studied Hike Michigan for fifty
years, Capt. Keith’s "discovery” that the
drainage canal has lowered the lake level
five inches does not produce much con
sternation. Lake Michigan, like all of the
great lakes, is a mystery. Old sea
men recall the fact that Lake Michigan
once rose up bodily seven feet in an hour
along this coast. In 18S6 it fell three feet
in two hours. There was a great tidal
wave in lake Erie In 1843 at Buffalo,
which drowned twenty people in their
'beds.
So strange and unaccountable are the
fluctuations in the levels of all the great
lakes that sailors have an abiding faith
in “Old Sub.” the underground monster
who turns the water off and on in a sub
terranean passage under the lake.
"Old Sub's tinkerin’ with the stop
cocks,” say the seamen when the water
begins to creep up on the gauge. Some
times the level goes lower and lower, and
then the talk is that “Old Sub has taken
to drink.”
Some believe that a great undiscovered
passage exists between jhe great lakes
and a body of open water about the North
Pole, and that a disturbance there ac
counts for the wonderful ebb and flow of
the water in the basin of the great lakes.
Occasionally on a trip to Waukegan some
sailor announces that the boat |>assed
over the very region where “Old Sub” is
turning the water in, ice cold and in tin
limited supply. In a little different way
scientists have sometimes upheld the the
ory of a subterranean passage which feeds
the lakes, and cite the aeven years’ rise
and fall of lake levels as a proof of it.
Others take no stock in the theory of pe
riodical movements.
But through it all there is the mystery
which has not been fathomed yet by any
plummet or measured by the rise and (all
of any barometer. Long before the open
ing of the drainage canal a variation of
five inches in the lake level was known to
be an ordinary affair. Sometimes the va
riation can be accounted for, but more
often it cannot. Scientific men are as much
ala loss as the veriest old salt.
Day in and day out the lake level
changes aside from those caused by the
winds. No man knows why and no man
c-an reckon the times and the places of
these lake "tides.” So constant are the
fluctuations "hat a general full of three
inches a year over the entire surface of
Lake Michigan and Lake Huron would
not be appreciable in the ordinary set of
gauge readings. The automatic gauge
shows an oscillation of the lake every
twenty minutes, amounting sometimes to
between two and three feet. In 1886.
after the water had run down suddenly
six feet in Chicago harbor, an attempt
was made to account for these oscilla
tions on a scientific basis Seven gauges
were set about the lake and read at flve
mlnute intervals. The upshot of it was
that some of the observers decided that
the phenomenon was due to a swing of
the lake in Its bed from shore to shore.
Others did not think this reasonable but
had no better theory to advance. More re
markable still, it was found that one
day's observation showed a general low
ering over the whole of I-oke Michigan
of several inches.
As early at liTS Father Marquette took
note of changes in the lake levels. He
asked the Indians about It, and they said
that Lake Michigan swung from high
to low and back again In fourteen years,
or that every seven years the water run
the gamut. Baron La Homan, in 1689,
made some tolerably extensive notes on
the variations in lake levels. He wrote
that in twenty-four hours, once at the
northern extremity of Lake Michigan, he
saw the lake rise three feet, and fall
three feet in the day. He was the first
to observe the flow’ of water from Lake
Huron to Lake Michigan, or from Michi
gan to Huron, which Is now’ acknowl
edged. #
"We oast our fishing nets in the straits,"
says the doughty old explorer, "and for
three days the current sucked them to
the eastward so strongly that we could
with difficulty haul them from the water.
Then for two days the current set stead
ily toward the west and carried our nets
in that direction.”
Stories of mysterious inundations by the
lake of times when the beach widened. anl
a great fringe was added to the fund
along the shore, have always been current
among Indian tribes. From Marquette
down to engineers and seamen of to-da.v.
observation has confirmed legends.
At Sault Ste Marif, Gen. Dearborn noted
an ebb and flow of one and one-Jialf feet
of water in two and a half hours.
Lake Erie has been known to rise from
seven to twenty feet In few hours. A
few years ago at Cleveland, the lake sud
denly rose five feet. In 1888 Lake Michi
gan rushed up to a hight of seven feet
above the ordinary level nt Milwaukee.
In that same year the water fell six feet
In Chicago harbor, and somewhat less in
the lake within a few minute*. H.gh
mnsted schooners careened to one side,
and the big poles knocked together con
fusedly. ft looked as if the Chicago river
would be drained dry in half an hour,
and the experience has never been forgot
ten among the Chicago seamen. In 184 c.
It is said, the same thing occurred.
In addition Jo these sudden and Inex
plicable changes in the lake level there is
a tolera -defined periodical move
ment of *h' surface extending over a num
ber of years. Sometimes 1t is claimed that
this movement requires seven years, some
time* ten years. Ossian Guthrie nnd oth
ers declare (hat tlie movement is no* pe
riodic. but that it usually extends over
from two to ten years. Then there is an
annual rise of the lake from January to
June, caused by he ordinary spring rain
fall. which runs the level of the lake up
about one foot higher in June titan in
January. For thirty years consecutively
the spring rise was found to be fourteen
and one-half inches. A series of heavy
spring rainfalls will raise the level of the
lake three or four feet above datum for
a number of years, and a series of
droughts will reduce it correspondingly.
Beginning with 1847. Osman Guthrie has
kept a record of the fluctuations of the
level of Lake Michigan. In 1847. as has
been stated. Lake Michigan went very
low. From 1847 to 1859. with occasional
lapses, it crept up nearly three feet above
datum. From 1859 to 1863 it fell,then it swung
back to two and a half feet above
the datum In 1878. ran down in 1879, going
up abruptly In the spring of 1880. From
1880 to 1886 the lake level rose three feet.
From 1886 to 1892 it fell about four feet.
In the spring of 1893 it rose fifteen inches
in a few days, time. Since 1893 the lake
has been going down, and during mo*t of
last fall and this spring it aha been below
the 1547 mark. To-day. owing to the usual
rise fom rainfalls, the lake is higher than
it was before the opening of the drainage
canal. Figures at the United States en
gineer’s office show that during January.
February and March the lake level was
just about what it was in December of
1899. Ad though each day’s record shows a
variation of several inches. On Jan. 11
there was a variation in the lake level of
one foot. From Feb. 11 to Feb. 12 in .894
the lake level at the foot of Randolph
street rose a little over two feet.
These daily fluctuations of from six
inches to two feel are accounted for. en
gineers believe, by winds and by barom
etric pressure. A strong east w’ind will
easily raise the surface of the lake here
two feet. Again, If the atmosphere pres
sure all over the surface of Lake Huron
is suddenly reduced, the water will rush
through the straits from Lake Michigan,
and Huron will rise, mysteriously, per
haps, on a perfectly calm day.
Engineers at the office of the Drainage
Board estimate that if no rainfall were to
reach Lake Michigan, and the maximum
flow’ of 300,000 cubic feet of water were
drawn off through the drainage canal, it
would take a little over eight years to re
duce the level of Lake Michigan one foot.
Asa matter of fact, the annual rainfall
always produces a waste overflow’ past
Niagara which greatly exceeds that drawn
off by the drainage canal. If the water
were not taken through the canal it would
go over Niagara during spring freshets. In
general engineers agree that the physics
of Lake Michigan and of all the great
lakes has never been studied accurately,
and that the mysterious movements of the
immense inland seas offer a comparative
ly unworked field (or useful and science
research.
An Orthodox Jenlsli Wedding.
From the Minorah Monthly.
The Talmud r quires that a benediction
be given to the betrothed when they en
ter into a contract, with the injunction,
however, that they must not enter upon
the conjugal life before the nuptials take
place. The nuptials are termed Chuppa
or Nlssuln and were usually held In the
young husband's dwelling, and seven days
were allowed for the celebration. As us
ual, a sort of canopy, termed baldachin,
was imtrovised It was the custom to con
duct the bride from her home to ihe
groom's abode It required ten persons
while (he marflago was beii.g periorm and.
so as to give the act publicity and solem
nity. It became a general custom that a
rabbi performed the rites and gave his
benediction, although it was not essen
tial. sinee the betroihal act was viriuall
a marriage compact. It was only duriif/t
the middle ages that a rabbi was reqti/r
--ed, so as to make the act one of validity.
In modern eras the nuptials are held in
synagogues and iam pies. A cup of wine
was also us and as a symbol of joy, of
which both the bride and groom partook,
and to commemorate their willingness to
henceforth drink together from the cup
of life which a Provid-nce may allot them
An irrp'rtant procedure before the nup
tial e remony was the execution of a legal
document known as the Kethuha fmar
rlage deed), a law framed by Simon ben
Shatach. who was the president of the
Svnhedrion of Jerusalem 100 years be
f re the advent of Jesus. The minimum
obligation was 2 0 denarii for a virgin
bride, and 100 for a widow, which deed
could he amended by additional sums
This document was to serve also as a
mortgage on all the groom’s personal ef
fects and real estate for the amount stip
ulated. This document was as humane a
it was equitable in behalf of the woman
in those eras, when polygamy and eon
rubnage were in vogue, end that evil-dis
poted husbands could deliberately put
away their wives, leaving them without
support or protection.
