STARTED THE RACE EARLY CAMPAIGN FOR GOVERNOR l tCtIKO CONSIDERABLE SURPRISE AT THE CAPITOL. Three Candidate! Practically In the Field Less Than Two Month* Aft er the Election—Political Tallt In Atlanta Over the Sltuntlon—Boy kin WrlKht'a Announcement Pre cipitated the Campaign. Atlanta, Nov. 26. —Considerable sur prise is expressed at the Capitol over ivhat is considered to be the unusually early opening ot the campaign for Governor. Not before within years has there been three candidates actually in the field, less than two months after the election. State officials have commented upon one peculiar feature of the situation: That two of the candidates. Col. J. H Kstill and Hon. Clark Howell, whom political comment has had in the race t>r months past, should be put to the necessity of making public announce ment of their attitude because of the appearance of anew Richmond in the field, and his open statement that he was out for the governorship. Had it not been for the statement of Hon. Boykin Wright, published in Macon end cooled all over the state, to the effect that he was in the race for Gov ernor, It is not believed there would have been any announcements for tome months to come. But the statement from Mr. Wright seemed inevitable. He has for several weeks past, been quietly informing his friends of his intentions, and the won <l, > is it was not published before. State officials are doing very little talking of a specific, nature about the situation. They express themselves as friendly to all the candidates, but they believe there are others yet to be heard from. Political rumor gives a good reason why Hon. J. Pope Brown is “not run ning vet.” That is the way Mr. Brown put it. Though stoutly denied, rumor has it that Commissioner of Agricul ture O. B. Stevens will be appointed i allroad commissioner to succeed Mr. Brown, and that in this event, Mr. Brown may become a candidate for Commissioner of Agriculture. Mr. Brown's opposition to Gov. Terrell two years ago, puts his reappointment on the Railroad Commission out of the question, and it is not believed that col. Stevens would be averse to filling this office. There are a good many things to transpire before the political situation of 1906 shapes itself up, and the evolu tion will be watched with no little in rcrest. DRUGGIST PUT*UP~ MORPHINE FOR QUININE. One Took It and Died and Another t ome Xear Dying. Valdosta, Ga., Nov. 26.— Mrs. Mike Mack, the aunt of little Rosie O’Neal, ■who died of accidental poisoning at Naylor this week, will be discharged from the Valdosta Sanitorium to-mor tow, having about recovered from the effects of the drug which she also took. It is almost a miracle that the entire family was not wiped out by the poi son. All of the members were suffering from colds and Mrs. Mack sent to a drug store after some quinine. The clerk made a mistake and sent mor phine. The bottle was wrapped in brown paper, and Mrs. Mack took out the cork and began to measure out large doses for herself and the chil dren. Rosie O’Neal, her niece, took the first dose and died from the ef fects. Mrs. Mack also took a large dose and discovered the mistake before giving it to any of the other children. She was dangerously ill for a day or so, and was hurried to the sanitorium here, where she has 'been gradually improving. The remains of the little girl were sent to Knoxville for inter ment. HONOR? FOR DAUGHTER OF FORMER GOVERNOR. Paris, Nov. 26.—The Geographical So ciety to-day gave a breakfast to Mrs. fanny (Bullock) Workman of Wor cester, Mass., daughter of former Gov. Alexander H.

The society also requested Foreign Minister Delcasse to confer on her the Academic Palms. the valve of charcoal. Few People Know How TTsefnl It Is In Preserving Health and Beauty. Nearly everybody knows that char coal is the safest and most efficient disinfectant and purifier in nature, but few realize its value when taken Into the human system for the same cleansing purpose. Charcoal is a remedy that the more yon take of It the better; It is not a drug at all, but simply absorbs the gases and impurities always present in the stomach and intestines and car ries them out of the system. Charcoal sweetens the breath after smoking, drinking or after eating on ions and other odorous vegetables. Charcoal effectually clears andi im proves the complexion. It whitens the teeth and further acts as a natural and eminently safe cathartic. It absorbs the Injurious gases which collect In the stomach and bowels; it disinfects the mouth and throat from the poison of catarrh. All druggists sell charcoal In one form or another, but probably the best charcoal and the most for the money is In Stuart’s Charcoal Lozen ges; they are composed of the finest powdered Willow charcoal, and other harmless antiseptics In tablet form or rather in the form of large, pleasant tasting lozenges, the charcoal being mixed with honey. The daily use of these lozenges will soon tell in a much Improved condi tion of the general health, better com plexion. sweeter breath and purer blood, and the beauty of It is that no possible harm can result from their continued use, but on the contrary great benefit. A Buffalo physician In speaking of tb'- benefits of charcoal, says: "j aij. vise Stuart’s Charcoal Lozenges to all ]••<<lent* suffering from gas in stomach nod bowels, and to clear th eom- I'i'-xion and purify the breath, mouth nnd throat. I also believe the liver Is g'-sMy benefited by the dally use of "in, they coat but U cents a bog at ding stores, and although In some eense a patent preparation, yet I be ,a, *•* and better charcoal in Winnie Charcoal Lozcug** than In Us ordinary charcoal tablola." , ANSON IS AFTER SENATORS. Continued from Page Eight. ldent Comlskey of the Chicago Amer ican League Club. In which he said that he was perfectly willing to go to Washington if the right price was made. The interview began with the cap tain’s inviting the two presidents to his place to practice on the bowling alleys. Then he gradually led up to the baseball proposition and declared that he was in dead earnest. President Johnson was out when An son came in. but Secretary Fredericks was dispatched by Mr. Comiskey to find him and the discussion of the deal was in progress in ten minute*. Anson was informed that the president of the league had no power to set a price on the property or to decree that It should be sold, but promised to take the matter up with the other club own ers at the earliest opportunity and get instruction from them about it. “X would not want to be in with any body in the management of the club,” Anson declared. “If I get it at all I must have full control of it. Yes, I am willing to get into baseball again. It has a great deal of fascination for me." The offer was more or less of a sur prise at the American League offices, where Anson has not been a frequent visitor lately. The former captain would not say what he Intended to do with his present business or what his plans were if he should get control of the club. “All that can be decided later,” he said. President Johnson will probably take the matter up at the meeting of the American League early next month. He said that the majority of the stock of the Washington club was owned by Washington people and that it would be necessary to consult them first of all before anything was done in the matter.

SPECTATORS. 11 ■ N>V // UNREGULATED ATHLETIC SPORT A GRAVE DANGER. From the New York World. “Unregulated athletic sports In our colleges and universities do more harm than good," was the emphatic state ment of Dr. George L. Meylan, pro fessor or physical training at Colum bia University, the day after the open ing of the Physical Training School. "Here is a precise parallel. You may open a greht library, stocked with the wisdom of the world, and say to the uneducated masses, ’Now, go in and educate yourselves.’ How many ot them would achieve an education If simply turned loose in a library? Here and there some man would, but he would be a rare exception. As it Is with mental, so It is with physical training. The gymnasium is to the body what the library is to the mind. You may open the finest gymnasium in the world and tell the people to go In and develop their muscles and their strength, and it will do no good. Here and there one may, unaided, become a splendid athlete, as men have done In the past without the use of gym nasia; but the masses of the people are more likely to Injure themselves than to derive benefit from the work.” “What do you think of games, such as football, for Instance, as played by college boys to-day?” asked the rep resentative of the World. "There are good and bad, good or bad according to Circumstances. if the coach be a man of Judgment and a gentleman the result will be benefi cial. but too often In our colleges and universities he Is a man selected and puid by the students themselves, whose one object is to perfect them in the fine points of the game; the time for practice is short, and he tries to make the most of it: consequently he over does the work, overtaxes the boys’ strength, and does them much harm. If he is a gentleman he instills Into the lads the chivalrous spirit and teaches them to play like gentlemen and not like brutes. In which case the result is good: but. unfortunately, not all the coaches are gentlemen. “There is in many large colleges a constant warfare between the director of physical training and the coach, the one striving to regulate the students' exercise for their permanent physical benefit, the other doing his best to get out of them all he can In the short est space of time. This does harm to the youths, who do not realize the lim itations of their strength and, spurred by blind esprit de corps, care only for winning matches.” “And what, in your opinion, is the remedy?” “It Is difficult to generalize, for the conditions vary in the different col leges. Regulation of athletic* and sports by th faculty has been tried and has in every Instance proved a failure. The rules of the game can not be altered Intelligently by men who do not play it; they must be made by the actual players. If the profes sor or director of physical training be vested wltl* sufficient authority over all sports, and if he himself has had the requisite training for the place, the problem seems to be solved. And It Is to train teachers of athletic* that this new department of Columbia Uni versity Is primarily designed.” A WOSDEBTO ROCK. Olhraltar One of tlie INoir Places of the World.

There is one excellent hotel, but the shops are confined to one long, narrow street. If Vice Admiral Lord Charles Bcrcs ford is going Into action, there will be serious consequences in many direc tions. The British fleet, of twenty odd first-class cruisers and battleships will bo able to close the Gate of Her cules without the co-operation of the guns in the fortifications. This will be fortunate for British supremacy and prestige, because the truth about “the Rock of Gibraltar" would make a laughing stock of British policy. The great hill is of pumice stone — the creation of a volcano at a remote period. It is cut Into galleries and casements; It is punctured with can non. much as is a Westphalian ham stuffed with cloves. The end of each gallery is a bower of shrubbery; but behind the oleanders and rhododen drons are muzzles of Whitworth, Krupp and Armstrong guns, hidden like scorpions in a colored rug. There are countless "secret chambers,” most of which are shown to visitors. These principally overlook the Neutral Ground (a half mile broad) that sep arate* Ssatn from this British posses sion . The finest view of Gibraltar Is had from the top of the rock, and a permit from the Governor Is easily obtained. Indeed. If one has a little Influence, it is possible to ride to that hlght In a steel bssket thHt runs on a trolley, slung hundreds of feet above the houses of the town. That is the point of van tage I'd speak for in the event of a naval fight between the ships of Rus sia and England. Memory shows me the picture, something like this: Looking westward, the (late of Her cules stands wide ajar! Beyond is the battle bay of Trafalgar, where Nelson earned the monument 'round which modern London revolves. Across the strait is the prison pen of Ceuta, over which will forever hover the wraiths of Cuban martyrs who died therein for the cause of freedom. To the north is the stretch of land that makes a. pen insula of this rock a “No Man’s Hand” that is dangerous to cross. Beyond "the dead line is the wretched little town of Linea, as Bill of smugglers as is a trust company’s office of widows. Afar to the northeast are the peaks of the Sierra Never?*, wearing the white fez of eternal snow, and hid ing from sight the dreVm town of Grenada, with its fairy-llke Arabian palace. At their feet. In a cove so deep that it cannot be seen, is Malaga, the seaport of Spanish grapeland. Stretch ing eastward as far as Phonlela spreads the dimpled blue sea of All Antiquity, every sqiiAre mile of Its waters having place in the chronology of man—keeper of more secrets than all the oceans! The Mediterranean is the greatest spec tacle at Gibraltar! The rock la a "bluff;” its bay is dangerous for ship- ping. Its defenses must alwVtyz rest with the fleet that rides in the road stead, with fires banked in fear of storms. Inculintnr Flat for Tiniest Rnby. From the New York World. Young Falk, the smallest baby in the world, has again changed his address. Now he is living In an Incubator, just where no one knows hut his good friend and physician. Dr. Jacob Glass, of No. 67 Second avenue, and he has promised not to'tell. Thursday morning the stork left the tiny boy a.t No. 34 East Seventh street, Mrs. Falk, the mother, intrusted him to the care of Dr. Glass, who wrapped him in cotton, put him into an inside pocket of his coat and hurried to his home. There the doctor filled hot water bags and made a bed for the youngster in a big clothes basket. A sound more like the meow of a kitten than a baby's cry came from the middle of the basket. A World reporter bending over the bed looked at first In vain to find the Infant . Then there ap peared a tiny white face about the size of a dollar and a perfectly bald head. The little fellow has a broad fore head. As yet he has not deigned to gaze upon the world. His nose, small as It Is, is slightly aquiline, and never was a baby born with a prettier, more shapely little mouth. When he first came he tipped the scales at thirteen ounces. The broken hearted mother, who at first thought her baby would not live, is happy over the encouraging reports of the physicians. The baby measures only eight Inches in length and is four inches about the waist. His hand at the longest part Is less than one Inch. The fingers are perfectly formed even to the finger nails. "Never has there lived twelve hours a baby so tiny as this one," said Dr. Glass yesterday. “We’ll make a man of him in time. He is perfect physi cally and we are going to bring him through. He came four months before he was expected." —All A-chinet, an Arab, was a wit ness In the New York Court of Special Sessions last week.
