Pii# Out of n Theater.
The man with the shirtwaist ha® been
brought to a halt in Columbus. A promi
nent young business man entered the
Opera House in the coatless costume. He
was minus his coat, vest and suspender®,
his visible dress consisting of a shirt,
trousers, and a belt. He did not go to a
conspicuous part of the house, but he had
not been seated long before Lieut. Denson
of the police force went to him that he
would either have to put on his coat or
leave the theater. He refused to don his
coat—he had none—and said that he
would be put out and would make a test
case of it. He was escorted out, but the
officer refused to make a case against him.
Tlie Dm! It Still u Mystery.
James Ward’s death is still shrouded in
mystery, though some of the shrewdest
officers in Rome are working on the case.
Ward was the man who was shot in a dis
reputable house in East Rome several days
ago, and afterwards died of his wounds.
Maud Smith, white, and Ed Neeley, white,
were arrested, but, as there was no evi
dence against them, they were released.
A negro named Hettle Btewart was with
Ward, however, when he was shot, and
ahe has been held for trial. Ward gained
consciousness before he died, but told two
Btories over and over again. One was that
he tried to commit suicide and the other
that Hettie Stewart shot him. Evidently
the man thought he would not die, and
wanted to shield the woman. The most
damaging evidence against the woman is
given by Ward's 13-year-old niece, who
lived with him. The child stated that her
uncle and the woman were quarreling..

CROPS A ROUND PERRY.
Colton I* in Knil Need of a Refresh
ing Ilnin.
Fort Valley, Ga., Aug. 23.—The continued
drought, coupled with the unusual heat
and oppressiveness, is damaging the cotton
crop daily. This section has not had a
general rain for over three weeks, and the
consequence is that the plant has ceased
fruiting, and in many instances, half
grown bolls are being forced open. A re
freshing rain would be of Incalculable
benefit, while, if the drought continues,
the early-planted cotton will be gathered
within a fortnight.
Several parties from different sections
of the state have been prospecting here
for the past week with a view of buying
lands, and engaging in the fruit business.
While this year’s crop, on account of ad
verse conditions, was poor in quality and.
consequently, of small market value, yet
those acquainted with the industry claim
that there is a satisfactory protit,
especially in peaches. Several hundred
thousand young trees will he planted in
this immediate vicinity next season.
Mr. Lloyd Edwin Moncrief and Miss
Pearla Reese Mann, two popular young
society people of this place, are to he mar
ried on the 30th inst., at the residence of
the bride’s uncle, Mr. J. A. Wood, near
here.
Invitations are out for the marriage of
Miss Coralle Scroggs to Col. Robert E.
Brqwn, hoth of this city, at the Methodist
Church, on Wednesday evenVig. Aug. 29.
Miss Scroggs is the daughter of Prof. W.
J. Scroggs and is quite a favorite. Col.
Brown is a rising young attorney.
STATE FAIR AT VALDOSTA.
That City Want* the Fact Thorough
ly Understood.
Valdosta, Ga., Aug. 23.—The people of
Valdosta are justly indignant at the atti
tude of the managers of the Atlanta Fair
and the apparent altitude of the Atlanta
press toward the Georgia State Fair. In
Friday’s issue of the Constitution, an in
terview appeared, purporting to come
from T. H. Martin, secretary, in which
Mr. Martin four times in a half-column
article referred to his fair as the “State
Fair.” Whether this was done with the
intention of creating a false Impression or
whether simply from force of habit, the
eiTect is the same, thai is, to create the
impression that Atlanta is at work on the
Georgia State Fair. If done without in
tention it must pass simply under the
head of negligence, and. if done intention
ally. it is nothing less than piracy.
The people of Valdosta and of South
Georgia have put up their money for the
Georgia Scale Fair and have entered into
contract with the Georgia State Agricul
tural Society that they, jointly with this
society, shall conduct the Georgia State
Fair. Asa plain business proposition, this
means that che people of Valdosta have
given value received from the presitge of
the Georgia State Agricultural Society
and no other combination of men has any
right to the use of the term “State Fair”
in Georgia.
A MUSIC HOX IN’ DISGUISE.
It Had a Disturbing Effect nt a Rnra?
Funeral In Maine.
From the Lewiston (Me.) Journal.
This sounds like a jo-ak from a funny
paj>er. but an Augusta minister will vouch
for its having occurred at a funeral a
few miles out of the city not long ago.
The parlor was too small to accommo
date the crowd of mourners.and it was
necessary to put them into two rooms.
Those who were out In the sitting-room
were separated from the party in the par
lor, where the casket rested, by an en
try way. This prevented them from hear
ing all that the minister said and after a
time one of the young men, tired of do
ing nothing, reached stealthily over to
the table near him to get the family al
bum, which was lying there in all the
richness of blue plush and fancy brass
clasps.
He had Just got it into his lap without
attracting attention and was going to
open it and show the photographs to the
girl next him when he made a startling
discovery. Something was moving inside
the album. He distinctly felt the vibra
tion of moving machinery. With appre
hensive quickness he shoved the album
back onto the table. But he did it so rap
idly that every one in the room noticed
the movement and looked at him in silent
reproval.
And all the time he could hear the click
ing of that machinery and felt instinc
tively that something was about to hap
pen. Just then something did happen. The
minister was speaking tenderly of the de
ceased and of the beauties of the pi. ice
lo which his spirit had taken its flight,
of the streets of gold and the songs of
the angels.
Then from the family album on the ta
ble came the opening measures of that
rattling rag-time. “There’ll Bea Hot
Time in the Old Town To-night”—the al
lium was a bluff—it was a music box in
disguise, and it was getting under way
in great shape.
The minister stopped. But the music
box didn’t. It kept right on. The young
man who had accidentally started the
profane concert clutched it desj>erately
and tried to throitle. it. But it was no use.
It was as hard to stop as the paper you
hadn’t paid your subscription on for four
years. U insisted on going whe’r-or-no,
and go it did to the end of the tune,
while the entire funeral party waited for
the end. Therf the minister went on. but
having a sense of humor that Is well-de
veloped he had hard work to keep his
face in proper funeral trim.

IN ORDER TO BE CURED
, , What Must You Do? You Cannot Cure Yourself, and
Nature Will Not Cure You.
Are You the Man to Whom This ts Wlrtten? If *o* You Will
f bK Know What to Do.
Vi In order for you to be cured, it is no* only necessary
that the doctor who treats you should know aboslutely
the disease which affetes you. but Just how far that dis-
SjFTJ' case and all its complications have undermined what is
called your general health.
(an you tell, from your feelings, what vital organs of
body your disease Is now attacking 0 You feel at
nj|ul times that your nerves are unstrung, that your brain
k' \ does not grasp things as It should, that your kidneys are
* out of order, that your heart does not beat regularly.you
J.Newton Hathaway.M.Dknow that a little cut or scratch on your skin does not
heal readily, that your appetite is fickle, that your bowels are Irregular, that
there is lameness and stiffness about your muscles and joints, that there are
shooting pains in different parts of your body, that your feet and joints swell,
that your nights are disturbed by unnatural dreams, that you are startled by
common sounds, that you get dizzy and see spots floating before your eyes.
Every one of these symptoms means the serious progress of your disease.
You don't w-ant to experiment, you want to be cured. You want to be rid of every ,
distressing symptom; you want to feel that vigor and enthusiasm which goes
with true healthy manhood; you want to be able to work and to enjoy.
I have treated cases like yours for 20 years; I know what your symptoms
mean, and I know that if you have not delayed too long. I can make you a
sound, well, vigorous man, fitted for the place in the world which nature intended
for you. Other doctors send me their “hopeless” cases knowing that 1 never fail
in any case which I undertake. I make a specialty of cases like yours—chronic
diseases which baffle the skill of other physicians.
Let me know about your case in fullest detail. Come to my office if you can;
if you cannot, write to me. Unless you take a course of treatment, it will cost !
you nothing for my services—consultation and advice are free. Possibly you need
no medicine; if not, I will tell you so and tell you what to do and you need pay
me nothing; possibly also, I cannot help you—if not, I will tell you so frankly
and without fee.
At most my charge will be merely a nominal one, which will be no financial
burden to you.
I have Just published anew edition of my new 64-p page book, “Manliness,
Vigor. Health,” a copy of which I will be glad to send you free, postpaid, if you
will send me your name and address.
You can judge much better what I can do for you, and so can I, after w-e
have had an interview or corresponded with each other.

MARINE INTELLIGENCE.
Matter* of Interest to Shipping Men
Generali}’.
The. funeral of (’apt. Foltau of the
British st amship Grargewood took place
yesterday. The remains were removed
early in ihe day to Laurel Grove ceme
tery, where they were interred in the
Fort Society lot. The Episcopal service
was read at the grave.
The pallbearers were the first mate of
the Grangewood, the engineers, and
friends from the city. The unexpected
death of Capt. Soltau was the more sor
rowful to the crew because of the early
departure of the vessel, which went to
sea during the afternoon. It hi believed
his death was hr ught on by the intense
heat to which he was expos and. His
friends believed a return 10 sea would
have raster and him. The n ws cf his death
was cabled to his family in London.
The small steamer Victorine, and the
governmem harbor steamer Angler, were
hauled out on the marine railway yester
day for repairs.
The British steamship Leven. due Sept.
20 for Barcelona, and the Italian steam
ship Lea it a, due Sept. 15 for Barcelona,
have been posted at tho Cotton Exchange.
For this season of the year there is
very litile shipping in the harbor. The
cause of the small numb r of vessels in
port is not altogether explained. Some at
tribute it to the trade with other coun
tries. whi?h is attracting vessels there.
It is thought there will le more liberal
oflorings of foreign tail freight room lat
er. and that the river front will not be
long in assuming its usual fall activity.

VIRTUE IN A W ISHING TREE.
Washington's Chestnut Brought
l uck to n Worthy Girl.
From the Philadelphia Press.
In Lafeyette square, in Washington, is
a dwarf chestnut tree known to old resi
dents as “the wishing tree.” That many
people have firm belief in its properties
as a granter of wishes is dally proved by
the number of persons passing under it
to silently name their wish. Many men
and women whose names are known 'the
country over atop a moment by this tree
and indulge themselves in perhaps their
only superstition. Just now the tree is
full of nuts, and it seems that this is an
especially propitious season for wishing
under it.
A young girl lately secured a posi
tion in one of the government depart
ments. and who firmly believes In its effi
cacy, is an ardent lover of the tree.
She had been trying very hard, without
avail, to secure a small position, and one
morning, feeling discouraged, went to
Lafayette i*rk. stopped under the tree
to make the wish of her heart, and then
sat down on a near-by bench to rest be
fore going home. While sitting there she
engaged in conversation with a pleasant
looking woman, also enjoying the, ahatie
of the o!d tree, and somehow told all
about her hopes and disappointments in
relation to the government position.
Her listener was a sympathetic person,
and finally asked the young girl'® name
and address. In a few’ days the young
girl received notice to proceed to a cer
tain department for examination. She
passed it successfully, and was placed in
a much more lucrative position than she
had hoped for .
It turned out that her companion under
the tree was the wife of a powerful ®ena.
tor, and was so touched and pleased with
the young girl’s efforts and her childlike
faith in the wishing tree that she had
the great wish gratified.

1 111 port a 111 Change*.
Owing to the change in the city’s time
system, the hours of the university will
be altered in accordance. Another
important change will be made in the
methods of dealing with absences from
the university.
The military department has moved its
headquarters from the Ivy building to
more commodious rooms in New College
A vast improvement in this department
1 to® expected. The students will, at
; the close of college, have a prize drill
j ft>r handsome gold medal offered by the
I trustees.
j The new astronomical observatory on
the top of Moore College may also be
numbered among the many new improve
ments. and change® in the library are
contemplated.
Thanks to the dormitory and “Students
Hall, ’ se\ enry-five of ihe j>oorer students
may live substantially on $7.20 a month.
The hall a c:mnv dated over sixty boys
last year, at an expense of a little over $7
l<?r month. It wi.l be enlarg’d and im
oroved.
About the only change in the faculty
is that caused by the resignation of Dr.

Riley will be succeeded by f Park

Houston, Tex., wh*re he will preach.

pride to the university. It will send two
boys to college this fell, and it is hoped
is example will be fol owed by others.

Those who are disposed to believe that
it is only in novels and melodramas that
monarchs are wont to mysteriously van
ish from sight, either temporarily or for
ever. need only cast .a parsing glance at
the Belgian newspapers just to hand in
order to convince themse ves that there
is no necessity for either novelist or play
wright to draw on their imagination in
the matter. For King Leopold has once
again been alarming his people and his
family, besides throwing in o confusion
the whole government administration, by
being completely lost f r the space of an
entire ton days An important cabinet
council was to have been held on a stated
day at Ostend, to which all the minis
ters had been summoned, and a number
of decrees and proclamations of. urgent
gra\ity w( re awa ting the King’s signa
ture, including one giving the royal sanc
tion to the dispatch of a Belgion contin
gent to China. The ministers and the va
rious government officials arrived at Os

no Kirg. Inquiry led to a reluc’anr ad
mission on the part of the court officials
—who are obi g cl :o ebserve the utmost
d'scrft’on in revealing the r master’s
whe eabout*—that the King was away
yachting somewhere in the North s-ea. In
asmuch as the government bus ness for

of no delay, telegrams wore sent to all
the German. Dutch. Danish and British
ports at which it was thought that the
royal yacht might possibly touch, hut
no trace of tlie King could be found. Day
followed day. and the alarm, net only at
Osterd, but lik wise at Brussels, and, in
deed .throughout Belgium, grew hourly,
until finally, after ten days of anxiety
and dismay and confusion, the King fin-
ally sailed into poit without vouchsafing
any other explanation than that he had
been delayed by sir ss of weather, al
though the meteorological reports gave
no Indication if any bad weather having
been noted in Northern Europe
Through the King's non-arrival in time
the departure of the Belgian troops for
China has been Beloved for three weeks,
and Inasmuch as there are great Belgian
industrial and commercial interests in
China, a good deal of indignation prevails
at the prospect of these interests being
compromised through the action of the
King, for if Belgian Is sending a contin
gent to Chinn, it is with the object of re
ceiving its share in the territorial and
financial indemnities estorted from ihe
Chinese government as the result of the
present military operations In the Far
Orient.
This is by no means the first time that
the King has disappeared in this fashion.
On one memorlable occasion he complete
ly vanished from sight for Ihe space of
six weeks, and o ministerial crisis having
unexpected}' arisen In Brussels, he was
sought far and wide, the sittings of Par
liament being suspended from day 10 day.

roguing the legislature or receiving the
resignation of ihe defeated ministers, nor
yet of appointing their successors, with

requested to cruise along the Moorish
coast with the object of discovering if
Ihe royal yaihl had perhaps been wrecked
and Leopold explored by Moorish pirates

in the past century King George II of
England spent so much of his time in
remote portions of his German dominions
that on one occasion huge posters were
pasted up onto the walls of St. James
Palace, headed. "Lost, Strayed or Stolen,"
giving an unflattering personal description
of the monarch, who was slated to he sub
