CO \TS OFF AT ATHENS.
I'onDg Men Rebel Ht i n*!oiu and
n< Nohr 10 Keep Cool.
Athens. Ga., July 10.—Over forty of the
most prominent young men of Athens
have joined the “Anti-Coat Club,” formed
Saturday. Mr. Harvey Stovall is presi
dent of the club, which is causing more
comment than any organization formed
here in years.
On Sunday afternoon a number of the
members got together nnd promenaded
in a body up and down several of the
principal thoroughfares. Coats have been
relegated to the rear, and the favorite
costume among the young men of the
cky consists chiefly of a neat shirt, belt
And buttonless trousers—making a tool
nnd attractive appearance.
The club continues to grow in interest,
numbers and enthusiasm. The article in
the Savannah Morning News started the
movement and was widely commented
upon in this city.

Captain Wiley B. Burnett, one of the
four delegate- -ai-large from Georgia to
the National Demo* T me Convention, has
returned. He expresses himself as well
pleased with tht platform and nominees.
He declares that Georgia was one of the
leading factors in the choice of -the vice
presidential candidate and was given a
conspicuous place at the convention.
Capt. Burnett states that while the
majority of the delegates from the South
were opposed to the silver plank in tin
platform. they readily acquiesced to the
final admission of this plank, recognizing
that silver was not the paramount Is
sue. The latter, he says, w as undoubt
edly anti-imperialism or the plank re
garding.the trusts.
The University Faculty.
Many members of the University of
Georgia faculty will spend the summer
away from Athens.
Chancellor Hill and family will be lo
cated at Clarkesvnle, though the Chan
cellor will apeak at a number of places
in the interest of the University.
( liapter Houses Robbed.
The Chi Phi. Chi Psi and Sigma Nu
chapter houses have been entered and
robbed within the past two weeks. The
thieves secured little plunder, is the in
mates were away, spending the summer
vacation.

A hot fight is on between some of the
wholesale and retail grocery firms of the
city. The retailers claim they have been
damaged by the action of some of the
wholesalers in selling to the country
trade at prices which the retailers were
unable to meet.
The Victoria Hotel is once more minus
a proprietor. Mr. J. W. Murray, who
took charge of it some time ago, has
given it up.
Mr. Robert Hodgson left to-day for
Auburn, where he will, to-morrow even

had turned her wool a light brown. She
was demented ami had to be locked up.
DIVORCE IN SOI Til CAROLIN A.
Court Annul* Marriage Contract,
Which AiuountN to tlie Same.
Columbia. S. C., July 10.—A marriage
contract has been annulled by a South
Carolina court—a practical divorce after
the parties had been man and wife for a
little over one year.
Miss Fannie V. Littlejohn and Rev.
Stephen A. Nettles were married June 25,
1809. Mr. Nettles had been a prominent
figure in South Carolina politics before en
tering the ministry. For years he was
editor of a paper in Darlington and taking
an active part in the reform movement,
was sent to the House and then to the
Senate. He was a strong prohibitionist
but gave his support to the dispensary as
a practical road to prohibition, and was
the author of the dispensary bill, known
as the Nettles Compromise, that attracted
the attemion of the Lugd&lature and the
state several years ago.
On the death of his first wife Mr. Nettles
retired from politics and journalism and
went into the ministry, being now a pre
siding elder in the Methodist Church. He
married a second time some years ago,
end the marriage last June was the third.
The case was heard in open court by
Judge Aid rich. The action was brought,
by Mrs. Nettles on the ground that at
the time of her marriage her mind was
so much impaired by reason of a serious
physical ailment that she was incapable
of understanding or carrying out the mar
riage contract. Soon after marriage she
was placed under a specialist and her
mind has been restored, and she alleged
that now' she did not wish to carry out
her part of the contract. Mr. Nettles had
treated her kindly but she would not as
sume "to him the relationship of a wife-.
The plaintiff was represented by two
prominent lawyers, while the husband who
appeared as the defendant, had one of tho
ablest counsel in the state. He resisted
the appeal for annullment.
Judge Aldrich held that under the evi
dence, the contract was In the eyes of
the law, no contract and he so adjudged.

FIRST MORTGAGE FILED.
Bankruptcy Courts Not Doing Mach
in Macon Vow
Macon. Ga., July 10.—The first mortgage
of the Waycross Air Line Company was
filed in the Superior Court of Bibb county
yesterday, andl the work on this railroad
which is to extend from Macon to Brun
swick, by way of Way dross, is now pro
gressing rapidly, forty miles of the track
having been laid already. 1
The charter for this road was granted
in
Ashley, Ga. The president of the road is
Mr. John E. Wad ley, son of the late Wil
liam Wadley of the Central Railroad.
John A. Berriman of Baltimore and Miss
Amelia Wood, daughter of A. L. Wood,
were married this afternoon.
Macon's delegates to the Chiefs’, Clerks’
and Sheriffs’ Convention will leave here
to-morrow night.
Supreme Court has declared that the city
of Macon cannot put a high or prohibitory
lax oti money lenders.
Bankruptcy courts have almost gone out
of business since the Uniter States Su
preme Court ruled that such courts have
no jurisdiction ov<r third parties to whom
transfers of property have been made.
Lawyers here claim that this renders the
bankruptcy law useless <s creditors cfcre
nothing about declaring a man bankrupt
if they canot reach the property which he
has fraudulently disposed of.
STEAMS HI I* OSWALD ASHORE.
Sle Struck Eleven Mile* From Fort
Lauderdale, Fla.
St. Augustlnee, Fla., July 10—W. W.
Dcwhurst, a general agent of the board
of underwriters for the east coast of
Florida, has received a telegram, dated to
day, from the keeper of the house of re
fuge at Fort Lauderdale, which reads as
follows:

FAKE PETRIFIED MEN.
Made In California and Offered to
the National Museum.
From the Washington Post.
"Lots of people try to bunko scientists,"
says Frof. J. W. McGee of the Bureau
of Ethnology. ‘‘The government and its
agents are looked upon as legitimate ob
jects of prey. Sometimes there are inten
tional deceptions, sometimes only those of
ignorance. All sorts of queer objec'ts and
imitations of utensils of prehistoric times
are sent in to this bureau. I have received
from out West this foot, or what purports
to be a foot, and the sender thinks he has
found a valuable petrified bit of a human
body. Now, the fact is. there is no case
known to science in which flesh has be
come petrified, though it is possible that
it might become so by first being inumi
fled.
“In spite of this fact, the bureau every
little while is in receipt of objects from
all over the Union, the senders asserting
that they have unearthed the specimen in
some cave or water course, and they for
ward it to us to get our approval of its
genuineness. In consequence we have
brought to light in the last few’ years a
great many fakes which d r ew big crowds
as side shows, when the truth was the so
called wonder was made in a factory,
which is said to be somew’here in Calif or
nia. This factory made a specialty of
turning out natural wonders, petrified bod
ies and similar eurioe.
“My reply, after a careful examination
of the foot, was that it was composed of
cement and Band; that it showed not a
trace of any bones at the fracture, the
interior structure being perfectly pillar
to the exterior, while it also showed in
disputable evidences of having been mold
ed, with a gas pipe for a stiffener. It evi
dently came from the factory in Califor
nia, was planted in some Western state
by agents of the makers, and ’found,’ to
l>e sold as a wonder to some confiding per
son who bought it at a good price. This
is only one of many similar fakes con
stantly brought to our attention.”
One of the first frauds exposed- by the
bureau was that of a petrified woman
owned by a man who, after traveling
over nearly the whole country and se
curing certificates of genuineness from
hundreds of physicians, brought her to
Washington to be pronounced upon by
government experts. She (call her Mrs.
Stone for short) was exhibited in a hall
in Pennsylvania avenue, and was here
visited by throngs of the curious. She
lay on her back, one arm extended at the
side and the other thrown naturally across
the breast. The gentlemen of the bureau
were invited o inspect the wonder, and
did so, being also accompanied by a den
tist, who was to examine the teeth. This
was an easy matter, as a portion of the
upper lip had been broken off. disclosing
two teeth intact. The dentist looked at
them carefully, and declared that the first
tooth was on the wrong side of the
mouth, this being the opening wedge in
the examination of what turned out to
be a rank fraud. The experts next no
ticed that the back of the "woman was
very flat, just as If the cast had settled
when taken soft out of the mold, while
about the body were bits of plaster of
pari?. Obtaining permission of the own
er, these gentlemen procured a drill and
bored into the back of he leg, bringing
out a core which showed no sign of bone,
but only of composition.
A second boring being made, the tool
struck a bit of gas pipe. This evidence
convinced the owner of the spurious na
ture of his specimen, and. taking down
the sign of “petrified woman,” he substi
tuted one reading “the greatest fake of
the day,” and made almost as much
money as before.
At the time, of the Atlanta Exposition,
three years ago, was shown what pur
ported to be a prehistoric mummified
giant. The late Brown Goode was in the
South at the time, and made a cursory
examination of the specimen, and, finding
no evidence of fraud, recommended its
purchase by the National Museum. It
was decided, before buying it, that it
should be subjected to a careful examina
tion and test by Prof. Lucas, who is one
of the best experts in his line in the
country.
Mr. Lucas went to Atlanta end spent
several days In slowly studying the giant,
which towered high above the living men
of the day. and in all respects seemed
to be a respectable prehistoric inhabitant
of ancient America. As far os he could
see by mere inspection, without making
any tests, there was not a sign of any
fraudulent work. But on coming away
he managed to bring with him several
Birands of the “giant’s” hair. Subject
ing tills to examination, hr discovered (hat
the so-called hair was nothing in the
world but pure jute.
With this as a starter, Prof. Lucas
made another visit, and procured n bit of
the flesh of (lie mummy. This he soaked
In water, and found it contained fibre,
which was part of the composition used
in making what eeemed to be the brown
antique skin of (he giant. Having proved
that the hair and skin were manufactured,
Prof. Lucas devoted himself to finding
out how the thing was made.
Another examination brought to light
the fact that the unusual hight was pro
duced by nn ingenious means. The Ixxiy
of the giant was built on the skeleton of
a human being of ordinary blzo. but by

the bone could extend only a certain

though the size of that of the average hu
man, had been made to appear to reach a

never got possession of the giant.

The Trust* and the People.
Rev. Sam P. Jones, in the Manufacturers’
Record.
The large trusts and combinations al
ready formed and being formed by aggre
gations of capital are considered hurtful
to the masse® and the common people.
This is a theory. Theoretically, a thing
may be so. and practically it may be very
untrue. When we speak of trusts and
combines we think of the Standard Oil
Trust, the Sugar Trust, the Tobacco
Trust, etc. When the Standard Oil Trust
was formed I was paying forty cents a
gallon for kerosene oil; I am getting it
now’ for ten cents a gallon, i was paying
twelve and one-half cents for sugar sev
eral years ago, but when the combines
set in we got it at five and one-quarter.
When the Whisky Trust was oganized 1
was in hopes it would put up whisky
where the poor devils couldn't get it, but
they have seemed to cheapen that down
to where they can pay the government
$1.15 a gallon revenue on it and yet sell it
for $1,274. which demonstrates that they
are making it and letting the public have
it as about twelve and one-half cents a
gallon.
There Is no doubt about the aggregation
of wealth, with brains controlling it, that
they can manufacture any article cheaper
than it is or has been manufactured on a
small scale. The great railroad combina
tions, many think, will eat us up blood
rare. Occasionally I get on a little jerk
water road that is hot in the combination,
and I want to double my accident iolicies
and be satisfied with a flfteen-mile-an
hour gait and console myself with the
idea that 1 can ride all day for a dollar,
but when I get on the Pennsylvania or
Vanderbilt system of roads, with their
schedules forty miles an hour, vestibule
trains*, with parlor cars, sleeping cars,
dining cars, T have a hotel on wheels car
rying me towards my destination, and all
this for about two cents a mile. Give me
the road that is in the combine to carry
me where I am go#lg.
Public sentiment is the safeguard
which is thrown around all aggregations
of wealth and all combinations of inter
est. The Star.daid Oil, the railroad com
binations, the 6ugar Trust are as sensi
tive to pubic sentiment as the snow
bank to the rays of the sun. Trusts and
combines wi'i not hurt the public, but
s ockholders and bondholders may suffer
later on, when these great bulky institu
tions b eeme unwi dy and fall with their
own weight. Fifty thousand men in the
Ur.itid States, p rhaps not more, are in
terested in the great truss of the coun
try. Those 5i.000 men know that there are
70.000 010 of other people in America, and
their wisdom teaches them where bound
ary lines are, over which they cannot go
without peril to themselves and disaster
to thfir bus ness. No combination now
says “damn the public,” but they have
their weathercocks out on every promi
nent cupola watching how the wind
blows.
Of course, political capital can be made
out of such formations of wealth, and so
cial orders may raise the black flag to
fight them; but I am a thousand times
more afraid of demagogues and politi
cians than I am afraid of trusts and com
bines. Good government—which means
not only the well-being of the citizen, but
the overthrow of all that will hurt the
fcitizen—defends upon good men in office,
and wc had better pay less attention to
what we call truss and combinations and
mere attention to those whom we elect to
office in the municipal, stare and rational
governments. Mr. Stead, in his book “If
Christ Came to Chicago,” speaks of the
“Big Four of Chicago." and says of
that “their methods are clean and their
transactions are honest but that in tlie
road of their success lies the blood and
bones of tlie victims over whom (hey
have run to success.” The suc-
cessful man or combination means the
downfall of other men end other combina
tions. One preacher is preaching to 5,000,
twenty preachers* around him consider sev
enty-five u full house, and a hundred a
perfect jam; one physician making slo.uO , >
year, and forty little doctors in the
neighborhood nut making their grub. A
Wanannkor selling $50,000,000 a year means
many little merchants ax>plying for clerk
ship in hitf store. It Is the survival of
the fittest, it may be. When God mode
this world He made mountains towering
into the clouds ami valleys below' the level
of the set; he made lakes and oceans; He
spread out the prairies of the West and
piled up mountains around the little val
leys along the ranges of the Rockies on*l
the Alleghenies. In the ocean'w waters
we find whales and some very small fishes,
and when the whales come along the lit
tle fish have to hide out. 1 have traveled
over this country from ocean to ocean,
and from Montreal to Galveston, annually
for twenty years. I hove watched the
progress of events and the processions a
they marched. 1 have yet io know of a
single instance where combines and trusts
hurt the masses or permanently raised the
price of any product. I am ,i thousand
titnevs more willing to deal with the trusts
nnd combines and purchase their products
than ! am to put my money into their In
stitutions and imperil my holdings, eon*
scion** of their want of stability and fear
ing their final downfall.
of course these great combinations af
fect legislation, If they do not control it
in many instances, but while they may
procure legislation in their own Interest,
yet they have one eye upon the public
sentiment all the time, conscious that
they can go Just bo far and no farther.
Here and there they have shut down a
manufactory or closet! up an institution
and affected some individuals, but we are
not looking from that standpoint. When
we look at the 70,000,000 of our population,
we say they are only procuring cheaper
and buying for less money these products
than they could have done under other
circumstances.
With the final disintegration of trusts
and combines—which will inevitably come
when financial disaster and shrinkage of
values shall come—of course, the surplus
of their product will be thrown upon the
market, and only the stockholders In
these trusts and combines will suffer. As
sure as that the sun shines, whenever
any institution* becomes unwieldly be
cause of its size and bulk. It will finally
fall of its own weight.
I am an expansionist, and I believe that
one of the causes of the stringency and
shrinkage of values in this country is be
cause we have not gone out over the seas
with our products as we should have
done. While there is a demand for our
products of the farm and manufactory
of this country there will always be plen
ty of money; but when wheat and corn
and cotton and all kinds of manufacture*
are a drug on the market, and no demand
for them, then we have stringency and
hard times. But when the highways over
the seas shall he laden with our products
into foreign countries, and the gold is
brought back in rhe ships, then we shall
flourish perennially. These great combina
tions are the only powers in this coun
try that can do this thing for us. A n°gro
and an old mule can make corn and cot
ton; a fellow with a two hundred dollar
saw mill can make lumber; hut only ag
gregations of wealth can build ships and
open markets in fcre'gn lands.
THE “STIFF-CATC HER .**
MkLc* Money Out of Flitting Men on
Cattle Ront*.
From the New York Sun.
An unfortunate, woe-begone, half-starv
ed youth appeared at the United States
Embassy in London a couple of months
ago. The story lie told was that he was
an American citizen, that he had read
an advertisement calling for able-bodied
men to work their way across the Atlan
tic in cattle steamers, that he had made
application and been accepted, that he had
shipped, that on the voyage he* had Been
starved and otherwise maltreated, that
when the vess 1 had arrived he had been
left on the dock to shift for himself,
though he had understood that he was to
be sent to his destination in Europe.
The story was investigated and upon
the strength of the investigation the em
bassy issued a warning to young Ameri
cans to beware of these free-passage-for
work advertisements and work out their
superfluous em rg cs at the monotonous
plow tail of the commonplace farm.
An officer of a line that carries cattle
between this city and London indorsed
the warning of the embassy while ex
ploring the circumstances:
‘‘That a man should be left stranded on
a London dock,” he said, “does not sur
prise me. It is nothing new, but it is not
our fault. We are absolutely he'pi ess. By
the law of the United Stales there must
on every catile steamer be a Certain ratio
of attendants to the number of cattle or
horses carried. Now, the shippers consid
er that the legal ratio is far tco high.
Their own interest requires that the beast
be well looked afier. consequently they
s nd along what they consider a sufficient
number of skilled hands, who understand
the needs of'cattle cn shipboard.
‘‘The notions of the shippers, however,
do not coincide with the theories of the
framers of the law. They send but one
man, when the law requires two or three.
In doing so, however, they know 7 that they
are perfectly safe, for the discrepancy
will be filled up without any exertion on
their part. Among the floating popula
tion there are to be found a multitude of
homesick foreigners, Polish Jews, Ital
ians, Hungarians and the like, who have
been lured hither by the legends of vast
wealth accumulated in a few months,
and who, being densely ignorant and gen
erally incapable, have proved utter fail
ure®. The sole idea of these unfortunates
is to get home again, by hook or crook,
and the only thing that keeps them here
is lack of funds to pay their fare across.
These people, though suspicious of strang
ers, are credulous when dealing with
their own countrymen. Among the lat
ter there are a number who fatten on this
credulity.
"Round about the Battery and on the
East Side there are numberless little es
tablishments, run mostly by Jews, whose
business consists in lending money at ex
orbitant interest and fleecing their neigh
bors generally. They call themselves
'bankers,’ ‘money changers' or something
of that kind, but to seafaring men they
are known as ‘Stiff Catchers.' The stiffs
are the homesick wretches I spoke of. and
the catching is a simple process. By ad
vertisement or other means they make it
known that they can obtain men passage
across the Atlantic on cattle steamers.
The applicants are many. To each the
stiff catcher promises that he will not
only have him carried across the ocean,
but conveyed to his destination—Moscow,
St. Petersburg, Warsaw', Naples, Buda
pest—wherever It may be. For this Me
demands a fee, $5. $7; in fact, just as
much as he can get. and in return gives
to the applicant a piece of paper, which,
he swears, is as good as o ticket.
“Of course the pap,r Is no good. As
likely as not it is in ytddish. and the of
ficer to whom it is presented simply tears
it up. However, he must have men. and
he doesn't care a rap where they come
from. Then begins a couple of weeks of
real misery for the home-returning exile.
I may say here that if he really is a
worker and has intelligence he will have
no trouble at all in faet, in some r. s
peets he will be better off than the ordi
nary man before the mast.
“But mighty few cf the stiffs are work
ers. Asa matter of fact, a man who does
not understand the ways of cattle is worse
than useless on a cattle ship. They arc
poor, weak-kneed creatures, these stiffs.
They have no physique or stamina and
rrcbably can t sp.ak English. Before they
have passed Sandy Hook they are. gener
ally sick—channel fever, we call it. For
the sick man In the fore hold there is no
(onsideratlon. it is a case of work or
starve. Those who are up and about
commander all the food served, and the
man who Is to get any must be there to
take It and fight for it if necessary. As
