MARITAL DICKER AND SALE.
Infamous Bargain of Mr. and Mrs. mil, ol

Pittsburg, Pi., JoneSl.—Th* grand Jury
today returned an indictment for conspiracy
against Chief of Detectives Roger O'Mars, Do-
t ctlvo Wcthorborn, of l'enucola, Fla., aud
Frank E. Hill. Tho Indictment wm procured
on the testimony of Mrs. Hill, wlf* of the lat
ter, who clotred from Greensburg last March
with J. T. Marcband, a lawyer and one of her
husband’s friends. Thsy went to Penn-
oola, Fla., where they wero followod by Hill
and Cblcfof Detectives O'Mara. Thecspture
created u much of a sensation st the elope
ment. Hill acted as If distracted after tho
elopement, aud the fact that ho returood on
tho same train with Mrs. Hill and Marohand,
the totter two occupying one berth and HUI
and O'Mare another, caused no little surprise.
Mrs. Hill Is rich In her own right, and the
lurmlM that she settled tho cue with money
haa now boon verified. She gave her husband
$10,000 In order to consent to a separation and
permit her to live with Marcband. To

PROHIBITION IN ATLANTA.
Next Thursday morning Atlanta will begin
her experiment with the prohibition law.
Tbe people on both sides of the question are
awaiting with impatient Interest to see what a dry
city looks like.
What evasions will be attempted and what prose
cutions will follow cannot bo folly foreshadowed
now, but there Is every reason to believe that a
considerable battle will be in proarew a week or so
bence. It la understood that detectives have been
engaged already, and the law will be enforced to
the letter. That Is, wherever a man Is detected in
tbe violation of the letter of tbe law he will be
prosecuted.
Tbe law squarely prohibits tbe sale of every*
thing except domestic wines, cider and pure alco
bo). Tbe first vexatious question will probably
grow out of the interpretation of the word "do*
mestic." The prohibitionists will, £ la said, In
fist that the word domestic is Intended to
mean wlnee made in Georgia. The wine aection
of tbe Mil ia aa follows:
"The act ahall not be so construed as to
tbe manufacture, sale and use or domestic vmn
or cider or the rale of wines for tacramental pur
poses, provided sueb wlnee or cider shall not bo
fold in barrooms by retail, nor shall anything
therein contained prevent licensed druggists
from telling or Airnlsbitig pure alcohol for medi
cinal for medicine,art, ■ slentlflc or mechanical par
potes.”
If men sell winea not made In Georgia even un*
der tbe wine license that is to bo issued they will
be prosecuted. That will raise tbe point as to
whether or not the state of Georgia can discrimi
nate against wines made in other states. The fed*
cral constitution says that citizens af each stato
shall have all the rights of citizens of the several
Mate*. One prominent prohibitionist takes the
position that a citizen of Alabama, for Instance,
will have a right to sell his wine in Georgia, but
the Georgian who buys that Alabama wine will not
have the right to sell it. In other words the Unit
ed States protects tho Alabamian and his property
only so long as they remain together; that the
protection does not follow the wine through all
thechannels of trade after it passes outof the hands
of the Alabama owners.
"Do you believe," I asked, "that a Georgia mer
chant could be forced to pay a tax to sell Alabama
corn that he would not have to pay to sell Georgia
corn ?"
"No, of course not. In fact, well lo t’s see. This
is a vexatious question. I’m not so sore about
that wine bnslness."
"Does it not all hinge," I asked, "on the lnten*
tion of the constitution? Does not the constitution
Intend to prohibit one state from building up its
own industries bydlccrimmlnvtlng against ilml*
lar industries of another state? Does not the con
stitution intend that all Americans and all Amer
ican industries shall stand on the tame footing?
Is not the effect of the Georgia law to build up the
wine interests of Georgia by cutting off all compe
tition with tbe re»t of the worldT"
"That is my belief," said an old Uwyer.
When Judge McCay passed upon the contested
election case in December, he said of this domes
tic wine clause:
"I do not doubt that there Is ono of tho provi
sions of tho bill that Is in violation of the eonstUu-
which, while It provides for the prot
sale of all Intoxicating liquors of every kind,Tex-
empts domestic wines. This, it was not compe
tent for the legislature to do. Commerce between
the states U by the constitution of the United
States under the control of congress, and citizens
of each state have all the rights of dtlzena of other
states. A man in California engaged In making
wine has under tho constitution of the United
states Jua as much right to sell it as a citizen of
Georgia has, and It is not competent for the legis
lature to put burdens upon one that it does not
but upon the other. Nor am 1 at all dear that
this distinction In favor of domeitlo
wines docs not render null and void the whole
bill. It is truo there aro many cases whore an un
constitutional clause haa been decided not to
effect the other portions of the set If they be inde
pendent and aro capable of being stricken from
the act without effecting the general scope. I do
not bollcve, however, that tthe test Insisted upon
proper one. Their
... — .--.the people would or
would not have voted for the bill, or the legislature
would or would not have passed It without the
unconstitutional danse. Is the language so broad
aa that the provision cannot be pruned away,
leaving the tree unhurt, spreading its essential
branches over tho land It la designed to shale?
This act, ia essentially an act to prevent tho
sale of spirituous liquors. A general clause
makes it Illegal to sell any in
toxicating liquors no matter where
made. If the people voted that way It would be
dry. If they vote dry, dry It la Not oven cham
pagne nor wine grown In Georgia can be add
without tbo proviso. What would prohibition bo
worth with a domestic wine shop atevery earner ?

PUIJE FOOD J^Up
For raising bread, biscuit or other food, only the very
best and purest baking powder should be employed. The
use of the ordinary cream of tartar, or of a baking pow-'
der containing lime, alum or phosphates, carries deleterious
ingredients into the food to the prejudice of the life and
health of the consumer.
The ordinary baking powder contains either lime,
which introduced into the system in too free quantities
causes serious disorders of the kidneys; alum, a corrosive
poison, or phosphates, which are condemned by physicians
as deleterious in their effect when taken under certain
physical conditions.
,The absolute' purity of the Royal Baking Powder
makes it preeminently .the most useful and wholesome
leavening agent known. s It contains no lime, alum, phos
phate or other impurity, leaves no alkaline or other residuum
in the food, and its use always ensures pure, light and sweet
bread, biscuit and cake, that is perfectly digestible and
wholesome whether hot or cold, fresh or stale. Its leaven
ing power has been determined the highest whenever
tested by official authority, and all chemists and writers
on food hygiene commend it for its sterling qualities.

In i860 tho valuo of all property of the fifteen
slave states was 95,426,012.724. In 1870 It wu, ap
proximately, 93,553.757,000 Bo the property lost
about two-fifths of Its valuo. In somo states the
showing was much worse. In Georgia the proper
ty in I860 was assessed at 9672,000,000. The first re
turn made after tho war aggregated only 9170,000,
COO—about one-fourth what it was before the war
began. The loss, howover, includes the slaves, of
course.
Subscriber, Watkinsville, Ga.: I have look*
cd for tbe word "flee” In several dictionaries with
out finding it. How is this?
The word flee, as applied to a small dog, is not
found in the dictionaries, perhaps, because it is
not used in New England, where tho dictionary’
makers usually live. It is a very common word
in the southern and some western states, and, wo
believe, prerails in Pennsylvania. In tho several
unsatisfactory explanations of its origin there is
one that deduces it from the Pennsylvania Ger
man foils, a little fat dog. Somo learned scholars
find In It a corruption of foist, bnt the relation be
tween tbe verb foist, to impose on, and a littlo dog
to rather difficult to make out.

Many such case* are sarpresnd, say 1,800 more.
This would make 3.000 yearly, bad enough, but
much better than the 60,000 estimated by some of

this a mistake?
No. The thermometer ranges from fifteen de
