WANT TO WEAR
BRASS BUTTONS
MANY TOWNS AMBITIOUS
TO HAVE COMPANIES IN THE
STATE SERVICE.
Military Authorities at Atlanta
Talk About There Being Too
Great a Concentration of Military
Force in Savannah and Atlanta.
Want to Scatter the Companies
Throughout the Small Towns.
City Companies Must Be Up to the
Standard.
Atlanta, Nov. 10.—The military spirit
seems to have become rampant in
Georgia. More than a dozen small
towns have made applications within
the last month or six weeks to the
Governor and Adjutant General for the
admission of companies into the state
service, some of the more recent ones
being Calhoun, High Shoals, Flowery
Branch and Cornelia, all in the north
ern part of the state, where there has
never been much fear of race trou
bles.
But there are only about three va
cancies, so there is not room enough
for all applicants.
Following close upon the admission
of anew company of Infantry at Moul
trie, Gov. Terrell to-day authorized the
Adjutant General to take steps to mus
ter in anew company at Cordele, Dooly
county. It has hot yet been decided
whether the Cordele company will be
attached to the Second or the Fourth
Infantry regiment.
Atlanta and Savannah Have Too
Many.
There is a general opinion among the
military officials of the state that the
militia companies are now too much
congested, particularly in the two
large cities, Atlanta and Savannah.
It is claimed that the result of this
concentration of companies is the en
listment of much undesirable material
in the effort to keep the enlisted
strength of the numerous city com
panies up to a maximum. On the oth
er hand, in the smaller towns, it is
said, where only one company is lo
cated, the best class of young men is
enlisted.
Along this line a well-known military
officer cited the fact that there were
numerous complaints of the second
provisional regiment at Manassas, this
regiment being composed of companies
from Atlanta and Savannah, while not
one word of criticism was passed upon
the First Provisional Regiment, which
was composed of companies from the
smaller towns of the state.
They Most Toe the Mark.
While nothing has been said about
the policy to be pursued in the mat
ter, the indications are that efforts will
be made to cut down the number of
companies of infantry both in Atlanta
and Savannah, and to distribute the
infantry companies more generally
over the state. As long, however, as
the present commands come up to the
required standard of efficiency there is
no apparent way by which this can be
done. It is. evident, however, that it
will be well for the companies in these
cities to toe the mark, if they desire
to maintain their organization.
The manifest desire on the part of
many sections of the state to secure
military companies is not due, it is
slated, to any fear of race troubles,
for many of the applications come from
sections where few but white people
reside, and nearly all of them from
counties where trouble of this kind
has never been known. It is believed
to be due, therefore, purely to a mili
tary spirit.
SOUTHERN GOVERNORS
WORKING ON ROSTERS.
They Render the War Department
All Assistance.
Washington, Nov. 10.—The annual
report of Gen. F. C. Ainsworth, the
military secretary of the army, re
ferring to the act of Congress pro
viding for a roster of officers and en
listed men of the Union and Confed
erate armies, says that the responses
of the Governors addressed inviting
their co-operation have been such as
to assure the department that they
fully appreciate the importance of the
work and will co-operate heartily with
the department in its efforts to give
to the Confederate soldier the place
that is due him on the proposed com
pilation.
ON LIGHTS AND SKWKRS.
Thomas vllle Voted for the First hot
Not for the Second.
Thomasvllle, Ga., Nov. 10. —Thonias-
ville voters voted to-day on two ques
tions, the Incurring of a debt of $35,-
000 to procure a municipal electric light
plant and the issuing of bonds to the
amount of $25,000 to build sewers in
certain portions of the town now with
out them. The vote on the first prop
osition was 412 for and 68 against, on
the second 299 for and 165 against.
This means a victory for muntcipal
ownership and the defeat of bonds ow
ing to lack of two-third majority.

me, but after experimenting for several months, my husband became dis

been cured of similar trouble through the use of Lydia E. Pinkham’s

your medicine for three and one half months, improving steadily in health,

PEOPLE KILLED, INJURED
OR RENDERED HOMELESS
Series of Fires in New York Were of More Than
Ordinary Seriousness.
New York. Nov. 10.—Three persons
lost their lives, twenty were injured,
nearly half a hundred were overcome
by smoke and an equal number are
temporarily homeless, as a result of a
series of fires in various parts of the
greatercltv to-day.
In nearly every case the fires were in
tenement houses occupied by a large
number of families, and at least two
of them are thought to have been
started by Incendiaries.
That ho more lives were lost un
doubtedly was due to the fact that the
flames were discovered in every in
stance before they had made great
headway, and the excellent use made
of the life-saving appliances by the
firemen. Life nets, scaling ladders and
other apparatus enabled the firemen
to save many persons, whose escape
had been cut off by flames and choking
smoke.
Nearly ail the fires started In the
lower parts of the buildings, and al

though in no case did the mone> loss
exceed a few thousand dollars, the
dense clouds of smoke which swept up
through halls and elevator shafts
drove the panic-stricken' tenants to
roofs and tire escapes. Many wore
overcome before reaching the outer air,
but with the exception of three ali
were found by firemen and carried out
in safety.
A false alarm of fire also contributed
to the day’s list of injured. Workmen
on the roof of the American Cigar
Company's factory, alarmed by clouds
of sqioke which came from an over
turned tar kettle In the street, rushed
into the factory where scores of girls
were at work, and with a cry of "fire,'
started 'a panic in which twelve of them
were injured.' One was so badly hurl
that she was taken to a hospital.
The most serious fire of the day was
that in an upper eastside apartment
house, in which three fives were lost,
several persons were injured and many
thrilling rescues were made. Forty
five families were driven from a big
tenement house on Boston road in the
Bronx, and twenty persons who had
been overcome by smoko were rescued
by fireman.
Ten families were forced to flee from
a Brooklyn apartment house by an in
cendiary fire which sorted in the base
ment. Several perso.ns were overcome
by smoke and were found unconscious
and rescued by firemen.
An explosion in the basement of a
tenement house in Williamsburg cre
ated a panic among the tenants, and
the burst of flames and smoke which
followed sent them to roofs and fire
escapes in search of safety. Many
were overcome by smoke, but all were
rescued.
A fireman was badly Injured by fall
ing three stories while fighting a firs
in a storage warehouse on Washington
street.

REPORT ON HEAVY ARMS.
Recommendations Mnde by (he
Ordnance Board.
Washington, Nov. 10.—The annual
report of the board of ordnance and
fortification, headed by Maj. Gen.
Gillespie, shows that an unusual
amount of experimental work has been
performed by the board during the past
year and many devices of novel de
sign have been tested. Only seven
12-lnch guns out of the total of 100 guns
contracted for in 1891, remain to be
completed, and the last of these will
be made by Aug. 1 of next year.
The board renews its recommenda
tions of last year for the immediate
procurement of medium calibre rapid
Are guns for coast defense. The board
also wants a reserve supply of am
munition, as, without a sufficlnet sup
ply of ammunition, the coast defense
armament is useless.
An abundant supply of ammunition
for target practice also is requested
and other measures fire recommended
looking to the instalment ot range
tinders, searchlights, telephone lines
and other necessities of a modern coast
defense system.

Wht It In mul Where It Kinds Its
lllwhest Development In Japan.
Oscar Kin* Davie lit the Century.
This ancestor-worship of the Japan
ese Is no superstition; It Is the great
essential fact of their lives. “Western
people easily make fun of It." says one
of their writers, “but therein Ues the
philosophy of our patriotism." It was
of this feeling that I-afcadlo Hearn
wrote; "It Is probably the most pro
found and powerful of the emotions of
the raea-that which .•specially directs
national life and shapes national char
acter. Patriotism belongs to It. Loy.
alty Is based upon It. The soldier who,
to make a path for his eomrad**
through the battle, deliberately flings
away bis life • • • obeys the wUI
and hears the approval of Invisible wit
nesses."
This ts Tamato Damashll (the soul of
Japan.) It found Its highest develop
ment In the lives of the military
knights, the samurai of feudal days,
whose code of precepts formed the
liusbldo. so olsverly expounded by In.
Hit robe Bines th* beginning of the
present war there have been many
explanations of the remarkable Japan
ese successes. But more than ever be
fore It has been shown to be “the spirit
that qulrkeneth" which has “won the
battles on the Yalu. In Korea and Man
churU,” the "spirit that qulckeneth'l
whirl) made the wonderful, long-sus
tained attack on the superbly defended
fortress of Port Arthur.
There Is a widespread notion that the
Japanese soldiers are fatalists, because
when they Join the colors In war-times
they call themselves kesshltal (deter
mined to die). But only In a reetrleted
sense can they be called ratallsts. They
count their lives as forfeit. It is true,
but only In the sense that each man Is
quite willing to die, Hnd experts, when
his crisis comes, to give his life. If nec
essary, for the success of his task. He
hopes to come back, but only as a vic
tor. Better far that his bones bleach
In a foreign land than he should re
turn to his home defeated or with hts
work unaccomplished. This Is tht real
meaning of kesahltal. it Is not that
the soldier is bound at any event to
throw his life away, but that In any
event where success may be accom
plished by his effort he will win even
at the coat of hts life—he will succeed
or die. Tha code of the aamural "con
ceived the state as antedating the in
dividual, " and "the bitter being born

thereof, ho must live and d> for It, or
