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.. FLORIDA. Thomai MacKail, the alleged newspaper correspondent, who was arrested Tuesday at Jacksonville for defrauding the gov ernment, was given a preliminary hear ing t ofore United States Commissioner H. C.

Some excitement was created last night about 10 o’clock by the arrest of a man and woman in a room over the lower Franklin street saloon by Deputy Sheriff Carter, who landed the P*>r In jail The woman is the buxorrv wife of Manager Oraey of the Imperial Theater and the man la Panchita, a well ■ known Cuban monte dealer.

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. CASTOR IA For Infants and Children.

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. J. NEWTON HATHAWAY. M. D. offlre Hours - 9 a. m. to 12 m. : 2 P . m.

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. I’nM.eUfior. by StpnmshSpß.

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. —He Helped Him Out.—“And your step father told you to get out Into the %vor!d and earn your own living?

From present indications, the college au thorities have every reason to expect that this number will be increased to 325 be fore commencement, next year, w'hich will surpass all previous records. 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. B.F.Riley.of the English department. Dr. Riley will be succeeded by f Park of Greensboro, Ga. The doctor will go to Houston, Tex., wh*re he will preach. The Savannah Club. All of the friends of the university are delighted with the work clone by the Sa vannah Alumni Association, in Savannah.

Some of Hi* Vngerio*—Trooble* of Hon*e of Newca*tle. Marquise de Fontenay in the Baltimore American. 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 ttnd on the appointed day, but there was 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 W’hich Ms presence was needed admitted 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. since there was no possibility of pro roguing the legislature or receiving the resignation of ihe defeated ministers, nor yet of appointing their successors, with out the King's presence. When last heard of he had been yachting off the Moorish coqst, and ns Belgium has no navy, Eng lish. German and French warships were 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 Finally, ufter all Europe was in n state of perturbatton als>ut the matter, the King was by chance found enjoying himself by means of a' driving tour In questionable company In one of Ihe most remote por tions of Switzerland.

He was sought ‘high and low, but in vain, and only returned to Brussels a couple of days later. Nor was It until the arrival of the German papers that the worthy Belgians learned ihat their King had spent his birthday at a small resort not far from Frankfort "with friends" from Paris. The late King Louis of Bavariu was wont to disappear in this fashion, leaving his ministers for weeks together without any knowledge of his whereabouts, whilo 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 ject to fits of "mental aberration." and wiifrllng up with the announcement that a reward of "four shillings and eleven lienee, Ihree farthings” would lie paid for news of the missing man, as he tvas "not worth a crown" (the latter being thedesig natlon of II five-shilling bit).
