Atlanta, July 24.—The regular meeting of the railroad commission was held to day. The most important matter before the body was the complaint of the mayor and council of Tlfton against the variou* railroads passing through that city and their connection*. The complaint charged that there was a great discrimination in freight rates against the city. The rail roads requefted time in which to adjust matters and the case was carried over until September. J. H. Pitt of Waverly Hall had a com plaint against the Southern Express Company, claiming that rat*s on eggs were too high. Some time ago Pitt chipped eggs that were not packed in regular egg ***?. A great portion of them were broken. He presented a bill to the express company which was paid, but he was informed that he would have to pack the eggs in cases hereafter if he wanted any damages This he refused to do and his complaint to the commission was based on the fact that as the com pany would no: guarantee him loss of the egg? the rate should be reduced. The com mission decided that hereafter all shippers of eggs muc pack them properly or the express company has the right to refuse them or send them at the owner’s risk. It wax also heid the rate was not exces aive. SOUTH GEORGIA At RPR HED. Did Not Like -Martin’* Action Wltli Hcitard to Haring. Brunswick. Ga., July 24 —A big laugh has been raised in Brunswick over the action of Secretary T. H. Martin of the Atlanta Fair Association in his late at titude towards the Southern Interstate Circuit. When representatives from various cities met in Waycross recently to organize the circuit. Secretary Martirt and the Atlanta Fair people were represented by a party man. who subsequently developed into an agent for a ballet exhibition and, who, during the talk on racing, attempted to get the various representatives present to sign contracts for his leg show . Mar tin had tdgned him, but he got little en couragement from the Waycross meet ing. Naturally, when Atlanta, though Mar tin was instrumental in arranging the meeting failed to show up a better rep resentative, but little consideration was given to naming officers from the Gate City. However, temporary officers only were chosen, and it was doubtless intend ed to give Secretary Martin an office at the n*xt meeting. However, enough was said by the representative to indicate that Martin was not in the circuit as en thusiastically as he had led some to be lieve, and the throw down he has now given is a great surprise here.

How n Woman Started the Flourish ing: Industry in Indinnnpolia. From the Indianapolis News. “Do you know,” said a manufacturer, “that Indianapolis is the greatest sunbon net manufacturing city in the world?” The rise of the sunbonnet as an article of extensive wholesale manufacture was accidental and sudden. Ten years ago there wire no manufacturers of sunbon nets in this country, as far a a known. Sunbonnets were then and had been in use for scores of years, especially the old fishionel Quaker gingham bonnet. Each community furnished its own supply—ev ery woman made her own bonnet. It had not occurred to any one that ihere would be profit in making them by (he dozen, or hundreds of dozens. But that thought came to Mrs. M. L. Roberts, of West Indianapolis. A sunbonnet that Mrs. Roberts made for herself attracted the attention of a neigh bor. It was not elaborate. It was simply made, but natty, and the tastiness of It added practically nothing to its cosl. Would Mrs. Roberts make one for her? She would. She did. That started th* trouble. There were other neighbors and fr.uids. Bonnets had to be made by the dozen. Perhaps oiher women in the city would be glad to get ruch bonnets? Tlie li.rge retail stores were visited and trial ciders were obtained. These orders were soon duplicated. Perhaps there wouid be a :aie of them in Chicago, Louisville and St Louis? There was. Once they were sampled there was too much of a demand for (hem. Three or four day* after there had been a shipment of 100 dozen would come the order. ’Ship another 100 dozen at once.” Mrs. Roberts hod converted sitting room, din ing room, bed room into sewing rooms, but the facilities were overtaxed. Part r f (he large barn was remodelled and fit ted up with sewing machines, cutting ta bles, etc., but there was no catching up with orders. The large customers see ing tha( the demand could not be sup plied In this way, started to manufacture their own sun bonnets. Sun bonnets were not patented, and there was nothing to prohibit anybody from making even Mr*. Roberts’ pa Hern of them. As one large factory after another was started with unlimited capital behind it, Mrs. Roberts saw that it was useless to try to compote in the making of the pop ular cheap bonnet, and immediately set io work to manufacture the better and more expensive kinds, and began the making of sun hats. Competition was headed off this time by the securing of a patent in n simple device, which enabled the hat and bonnet to be taken apart to be washed and be easily put together again and appear as new.

MAN Y OF El ROPE’S MONARCHS WERE EXTREMELY PRODIGAL. Qneen’s frown Pledged by Her Hus band for Spending Money—Gold Image of the Virgin Mary Once Held for Ransom Priceless Treasure* of France Concealed in a Parisian Ditch. From the London Anglo-American. Of all inanimate objects which have stirred to the depths th© various emotions of mankind gems and jewels take an easy first place; probably also their delusive sparkle has pioved a greater incentive to crime than anything else has ever done, w. ile in the love affairs of the world they have always played a very conspicuous I art. That this role has not always been an honorable one is, unfortunaiely, too well proved when one remembers the countless tragedies and stories which sur round almost every famous jewel in exist ence. His ory tells us how' kings and queens—particularly queens—have fought and schemed to obtain possession of them —indeed, from the world-renowned pearls of Cleopatra down to the famous “Cum berland” jewels of Queen Victoria a quten’s gems have always betn among her most interesting and romantic possessions. Many of poor Mary Queen of Scots’ trou bles arose from the fact of her owming the most magnificent parure of pearls in the world, and the extraordinary conduct of her royal kinswomen, Catherine Medici of France and Queen Elizabeth of Eng land, In their franti • at emp s to obtain these g-ms th<=* while their ill-fated cousin lay in prison affords entertaining if scarcely edifying reading. Yet another famous queen whose jewels proved her undoing, or at least prejudiced her peo pe acainst her, was the beautiful Marie Antoinette of France, who cer ainly paid dearly enough for the diamond collar she was destined nev r to wear. Male Mounrehs Were Prodigal. Although it must be confessed that the fair sex seem to have fallen more under the fascination of precious stones than their lords and masters, yet one thing must be said for them—when they come into possession of their jewels they gen erally kept them, whiltf it was left for the illustrious members of the male sex to show' how to raise money on the glittering baubles. With the exceptions of por devoted Henrietta Maria, who went to Holland and pawned her private jewels to obtain money to enable her much-beloved hus band to carry on his war, and Anne Bo leyn, who. as historians tell us. was al ways short of money, poor woman, an l who pawmed all her jewels in order to pay her debts before her marriage, the instances of women disusing of their trinkets are exceptionally rare, but from time immemorial ihe King has turned to his regalia and raised money on it. It has. indeed, become an unwritten maxim that if you must pawn anything jewels are the ideal things with which to oper ate. This probably comes from the fact that they have always possessed the ad vantage of comprising great value in small space, besides which the. standard of their value does not fluctuate much. Therefore it is not surprising to find that history teems with examples of royal pawned jewels, and almost every country has once or oftener been rescued from great mbarrassment by the money ad vanced on its crown jewels. Novel Pledge*. One of the earliest au hentic cases comes from Spain. The Spaniards trace the de scent of their royal house back to Cid Campeador. who flourished in the eleventh century. This gentleman on one occasion raised a loan in a manner which has in these degenerate days, unfortunately—for the borrower!—died out. Wishing to go to war .and having no funds, he borrowed ths necessary moneys from certain Jews on the security of his treasure coffers, which were locked. The money lenders were forbidden on pain of death to have these coffers opened, and at the time of 'he transaction no one but the King him elf knew that they were empty. It sty* much, however, for the honor of the said King that the cases, empty or full, were redeemed at their full value. Nearer home we have an amusing story of how Henry 111 pawned a gold imoge of the Virgin Mary in order to pay the officers of the chapel royal at Windsor, and then, few hours afterward, fearing lest hi? s .cri eg eus deed she u and br ng upon him II luck, he redeemed it with some land from hi* own private parks. Another cu rious story of the pawning transactions of Henry 111 relates to *he famo ;s Sancy diamond, which belonged to the Baron do Sancy, who lent it to Henry in order that the king might give it as a security to the Swiss government. The metsftenger who carried the stone to the king wa> set upon and killed, but the thieves dH uoi find the booty, the faithful servant having swallowed it, and it was ultimately recovered. Strange, indeed, were the financial transactions of Edward 111. During the long war he waged with France he pawn ed almost everything of value which he possessed, and he borrowed £2,500. A the war went on the poor queen saw let<s and less hope of ever beholding her crown again. She appealed to her royal consort, who was. however, too much wrapped up in his armies to spend a penny, even ha t he hod it. on anything else. The nation had at this time collected a sum which wa* to be given to the king to spend on some of his cavalry, and the question wa* raised should the king redeem the crown from hi* private purse and use th* nation’s gift for the armies, or should the nation redeem the crown and leave the king free to disburse his private purse for the benefit of his soldiers? Eventually a compromise was made, a special tax ol wool being levied, so that all the money could be used for the army, and 30,v00 packs of wool were sent to Cologne to re deem the pledged crown. Henry VI is notorious a* being the mon arch who never could or would redeem his pledges, among the most famous of which was a jewel called the “rich collar,” which was pawned by him and ultimately passed into foreign hands. One of the most instructive and mys terious stories of pawned jewels comes to us from France. At the end of the eighteenth century, after the disturb ances toward the close of 1 92, the French crown jewels, which had formerly been open to inspection in the Garde Meuble. were locked up in cases and stamped with the seal of the commune, and three commissaries were deputed to guard the treasure trove. Whether through care lessness or design is not known, but one morning it was found that during the night the colonnade round the Garde M-u --ble had been scaled and the contents of the cases abstracted. There was no clew upon which the police could w f ork, and, although many persons w r ere arrested on suspicion, no real result was arrived at. Gem* in n Ditcli. At this stage a letter was received by the commune stating that if they would search a ditch in the Alee des Veuves in the Champs Elysees they would there find some of the missing valuables. This was accordingly done and they found, among other things, the regent or (Pitt) diamond. This closed the matter for The time being and nothing further was done. In 1804 there was a trial in which sev eral persons w r ere indicted on the charge of forging bank notes. One of them, pre sumably to save his own skin, made a full confession of the forgery and full de tails in open court, and ended up his speech to the following effect—needless to say to the utter astonishment of all whom heard him: “This will not he the first occasion on which my disclosures have been of use to the country and if I am condemned I will atvpeal with all confidence to the clemency of the Emperor. Had it nor been fo~ me he never would have ascended the thrne, and to me is due the victory of Marengo. I was one of the thieves of the Garde MmMe I helped my companions to bury in the Alle des Veuves the ie ent diamond, etc , on the promise that I would be pardoned—a promise that was faitl.fjlly kept I r vealed the hiding plac-> and you are all aw’are, gentlemen of the court, that this magnificent gem was pawned by the first consul to the Bava rian government to obtain money, of which he was deeply in need after the • ighteenth brumalre.’’ The regent diamond is said to be the finest ('hough not the largest) in the world and is value has been est mated at f4&9,0C0.
