Six Hundred Insurgents Attack a Force of Govrrenseut Troops and Are Driven Off with Great l.oss—Dynamite Being I'sed. Havana, Sept. 18.—A despatch from Santa Clara says the insurgent leader Serafin Sanchez sent a squad of thirteen men with orders to destroy the village of Punta Alegre by tire. The squad at tempted to execute the order, but they were not successful, and wore driven away. A force of GOO rebels made an attack a day or two ago upon a plantation at Altamira, where a force of government troops were stationed. The insurgents were forced to retreat after a sharp fight, in which many of their number were killed and wounded. The gov ernment loss was five killed and three wounded. Santiago de Cuba, Sept. 7, via Key West. Sept. 18.—In the engagement between Cot Cannelas and Jose Maceo in Santa Maria Savigne on Aug. 31, the rebels had filled more than sixty holes with dynamite on the different roads. When the engagement was over a Spanish regiment marched over one of the traps and the dynamite ex ploded, blowing to pieces Lieut. Fran cisco Ruiz, Capt. Gregorio Romero and thirteen soldiers. Tne troops were so terror-stricken that nn entire compa ny deserted to the rebels. During a recent engagement the Span iards took a Spanish soldier prisoner who had joined the Insurgents at the be ginning of the revolution. His name was Pedro Rovira Esterez, and he be longed to the regiment of Havana. He was brought to this city, tried by court martial, and sentenced to death, lie was shot this morning in front of the slaugh ter house, in the presence of all the troops in the city. He was so weak bo had to be taken to the place of exe cution in a carriage. He was taken pris oner when, during the engagement, he went into the Spanish ranks to obtain arms, and in this effort he killed a Spanish Lieutenant aud a Cuban mulat to. London,September 18. —The Spanish government, having heard a repor) that two war ships are being built in Great Brittan in behalf of agents of the Cuban rebel, the Foreign Office is making inquiries into the truth of the report. At the leading shipyards the report is discredited. The Armstrongs are building many war ships for foreign powers, and also a swift cruiser, of the purchaser of which no mention is 4 Madrid, Sept. 18.—A despatch to the Imparcial from Havana says that a patrol steamer seized a boat that was carrying ashore cartridges from the American steamer Mascotte. The three occupants of the boat were arrested and will be tried by court martial. TRAINED CATS. The Feat* n Showmnn In England Ha. Taught Them to Do. A showman in England, Clarke by name, him succeeded in training a large number of cuts to perform riwnarkable tricks. One of those is to walk over u long linn of living rats, mice aud ca naries, stepping very carefully between the fluttering little bodies of birds and mice and harming none of them. An other cat climbs by a rope to the roof, seizes the handle of a parachute and de scends by it to the ground from a con siderable height. Mr. Clarke repeats what is well known—that the cat is the most difficult of animals to train to the performance of tricks. He Ims trained bears, lions, leopards, tigers mid other wild animals and finds them teachable and submissive when compared with cats. The cat in deed can never bo so far conquered that her performances may be depended on. Mr. Clarke's entertainment includes only 80 trirnwl cuts, but ho has to take with him (SO, in order that ho may have substitutes for those that will not per form. Ho culls (ha cat a ••hopeless bundle of sensibilities. ” Strike her once, though only by accident, e.nd she will never perform again. Kindness is not only pdlitic, but absolutely necessary. Some , of his cats it took him four years of ooasoless effort to train. Mr. Clarke's cate are extremely fond of him. When he enters his “cat sta ble, ” the mewing is prodigous, and ho is instantly buried tn a moving mantle of cats. The difficulty in the cat’s training dies not lie in the animal 's intelligence, but in her disposition. She is as clever in her tricks, if she likes to do them, as a dog, but she does not wish to subor dinate her will to that of any living creature. She does what she wants to do only and will j Kirf or m, if she perform at ail, only to please herself. Those that have seen cate engaged in boxing inatebes ♦lll not be surprised to learn that Mr. Clarke has succeeded in training two cate to box very scien tifically. The animals that walk over the chains of rate, mice and canaries without touching them are only six in number. Any of the others would help themselves to these appetising creatures without oonipaactums. These six were brought up from their earliest infancy in cages with rate, mice and birds and live with them constantly.—Youth’s Companion. A Trtek of the Bantunaa. During a visit to Montana a promi nent Chicago gentleman went with a party jnst starting for a grand “hunt for big game in the Yellowstone re gion.” He remarked to the leader, '■you eanao* b«nt in Yellowstone park.” “Oh, no," snidthe leader. “We go outside the limit* of the park, and if the game won't coma to use we know bow to manage to make it come.

Inmates of the House of Correction, when they are discharged from that in stitution, are usually furnished with a brand new pair of shoes in which to start anew the journey of life. The traders stand outside the gates and wait for three discharged prisoners. The lat ter are not slow to part with their new shoes in exchange for the old ones offer ed by the traders, not only because the old shoes are more comfortable, bnt be cause there is a money consideration too. The House of Correction shows are strongly made and command a fair price among workingmen. The traders pay a bounty of about 35 cents, together with the old pair of shoes in exchange for each new pair, and they make money by the deal.—Philadelphia Record.

THE COMMERCIAL, ATLANTA, GA-, WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON, SEPTEMBER 18, 1895. DR. STARKJRRESTED. Sensational Facts May Be Brought Out Later On. CHARGED WITH ILLEGAL PRACTICE. Practices What He Call* Paycho- Ther-ipv, and ia Alaoe Hypnotist. Saya He Did Not Starve HU Patient. Dr. William Vai Stark, a young phy sician well known in Atlanta, was ar rested yesterday on a warrant sworn out by Dr. Huzza, charging him with practicing medicine without a license. He immediately gave bond, and the case will come up for trial in a short time. Dr. Stark practices what he calls psycho-therapy, and believes in and uses hypnotism, and back of his arrest is a story with some sensational fea tures. George Bochin died at the Grady hos pital last month after having been treat ed by Dr Stark, and Boehm’s friends say he was starved and hypnotized by the doctor. Boehm was under Dr. Starks aud grow so ill that finally Dr. H. N Stanley was called in and a nurse hired. Shortly after that Boehm disappeared, but was located at Dr. Starks sanitarium and he refused to move. Finally he was taken to the Grady hospital where he died. IBs friends say that he wa» starved to death and are hot after Dr. Stark. Dr. Stark says that he did not starve him. only dieted him prop erly and hypnotized him so that he would stay still and not walk about so much. The case will doubtless be an interest ing one as Dr. Stark says that be has seen the proper authorities and they told him be would not have to secure a li cense until next year. THINNING FRUIT. It Make, a More Profitable Crop and Rave, the Tree*. The next essential thing after yon have got your fruit started, says Mr. J. *l. Hale, the Connecticut fruit grower, is a judicious thinning of it. I believe the thinning of apples should begin when they first begin to bear. A well planted and well fed tree will begin to boar eurly. Only let it bear a little. Al low some of the strength to go into the development of the frnit buds for next year. Next year thin pretty closely; then by and by you will build up an orchard that will have no off years in it. There isn’t an off year. It is because tho ap ples are in the hands of an off man. Thinning constantly would bring it into constant tearing. It is seed growing that exhausts the vitality. There are no more seeds in a large fruit than in a small one, and a large one doesn’t take any more vitality out of a tree. If a Keiffer pear tree has on it a thousand pears, and you take off 500 of them, tho balance will weigh as much us the whole of them and bring more money, weakening the tree only half as much. Our rule for thin ning peaches is not to leave one within four inches of another. This covers the ground with green frnit and looks like destruction, but at the end of the season there are more bushels than there would have been. Thin by hand. Put stepladders under the trees and put boys on them whoso bump of destructiveness is large, and tell thorn to go ahoad. We begin when tho peaches are three-quarters of an inch in diameter, and take everything that is enreulio stiuig and diseased. These we cart away and burn. Tho rest that are taken off are dropped on tho ground and loft there. In future our three or four year old peach trees shall not bear over 250 poaches; onr four or five year old trees not over 300, and full grown trees not over 500. That means six inches apart; 500 peaches on a tree will make six to eight baskets of fancy fruit. Throe thousand peaches to a tree won't make more, nor sell for more money, and the trees are ruined.—Hartford Times. AN EXPRESSMAN’S HARVEST. Qnccr Things the Northern Roldlerw Sent Home From the War. The greatest harvest reaped by tho principal express companies was during the late war of tho rebellion, when ev erything was sent and received by ex press, no matter what the cost The writer of this sketch had a varied and somewhat tedious experience in the busi ness during that protracted disturbance, and was witness to many scenes of som ber and many of a humorous character. These were mostly seen in tho returns from the seat of war just after a battle. Sometimes after a victorious Federal action, or tho capture of a rebel town, the officers, as well as the men, made a practice of sending home trophies they hud captured. These often wore house hold effects of comparatively little val ue, and oust the recipients at home a large tex for express transportation. Sometimes live stock was sent, consist ing largely of dogs and donkeys, some times a singing bird, or fowls of pecul iar breed. On one occasion a stalwart negro follow was received at the Boston office, sunt by an officer who fonnd he oould do nothing else with him and thought he might be of use on his farm at home. The grinning darky had a card firmly fastened about his neck, giving tho address where to land him, with this direction: “Feed and grub this nigger all that ho needs. ” It was sad, however, to see the rough boxes often piled up outside tho office containing the remains of the boys in blue sent home for bnrial among the scenes which they had left a short time before for the southern battlefields. These relics often proved a burdensome cost to their bereaved families at home. We were always glnd to forward remit tances of money to the oftentimes dis tressed ones at home. The business transacted by some of tho big expresses, Adams & Co., for instance, was of enor mous proportions, and added largely to the wealth of many proprietors, the ter rible war proving a godsend to them at least.—Boston Transcript. Mr. Courtney (flatteringly)—l had the blues when I came here tonight. Miss Fisher, bnt they are all gone now. Yon are as good as medicine.

Are Punished by Thrashing In England. Boys who are found gnilty of minor offenses in England are sentenced by the judges to a sound thrashing at the hands of Here is a description of it taken from an English paper: The birch is a very different instru ment of torture from the cat. Tho for mer is made up of a number of birch twigs, while the latter is reaWfa whip with nine knotted small cord lashes When tho cat is administered, the prison doctor mnst be present, but when the birch is put on it is only nec essary for tho inspector or superintend ent of police to witness it, although the parents or near relatives of a boy sen tenced to be flogged may be present at the castigation. When a dose of the cat is dealt out, none but those connected with the prison are allowed to bo there. Like the cat the birch may be made a very severe punishment or a compara tively trivial affair, not merely accord ing to the number of strokes, bnt from thc’instructicps given the constable who is.told off to do the flogging. I have seen a boy after six strokes resemble nothing so much as a pieee of raw beef and bleeding fearfully, while 1 have also seen a boy after six strokes merely a trifle red. Borne policemen dread tho duty of flogging, nnd after the first two strokes get a sharp order to “hit tho boy and not play with him. ” Other constables delight in the work and boast of their ability to draw blood at the first stroke. Various modes of administering the punishment obtain in different parts of the country. In some places boys arc placed face downward on a form. One constable holds his arms and head firm ly, while another does him the same service with his legs, and the third ad ministers the punishment. In other prisons the culprit is placed on a constable's back, and as he sits there with his arms around tho officer's beck, awaiting “theevent,” his attitude strikes a spectator more as one of affec tion than discomfort. Another way is to compel a boy to lean over a chair as if he wore praying, then run a strap right around his legs and the legs of the chair, a constable holding his head and arms from the other side.—Brooklyn Eagle. THROUGH OTHER EYES. Life at Harvard College From the English Point of View. The student life of America is emi nently an American institution. It has grown up in an odd compound of native manners and foreign influences, which form an essentially new product. It is a good deal more complex in its organiza tion than anything known on tho Isis or the Cam. There i,s more details in it, and consequently less breadth of effect. The university organizations aro in numerable. Men aro banded together in college clubs for every conceivable pur pose of study or amusement. Their bond of union may bo (heir attempt to talk Greek with tho accent of modern Attica, or it may te only a passion for domi nos, but it has all the notes of institu tion in its machinery of committee, president pndjiecretarics. Great variety of life comes from the differences in for tune among the students, but of late years there has been a laudable attempt on the part of the university and college authorities to introduce a more uniform simplicity. Plain living is the cry, and with this secured it is believed the thinking will take caro of itself. At Harvard some time ago Professor Palmer tried to discover how far tho liv ing had departed from the philosophic standard by asking some hundreds of students for a return of their annual ex penditure. Tho answers showed that Harvard at least had nothing to be ashamed of. Many of the students, less than a fourth, spent less than £l3O a year: some less than £IOO. Tho average probably did not amount to the £2OO a year which the professor regards as an entirely adequate allowance for both ease and renflement. Yale is less costly than Harvard, so these institutions at least are not open to the reproach that they hove introduced the millionaire in to American university life.—London News. Animal. Understand Hygiene. Enough is now known of the nature of animal materia medics to excite in terest aud curiosity. There is abundant evidence that many species know and constantly make use of simple remedies for definite disorders, and at the same time observe rules of health to which only the highest civilization or tho sanc tion of religious proscription compels man to conform. It has been noted that the general condition of animal health, especially in the case of the herbivorous creatures, corresponds not inexactly with that of such tribes as the Somalis, men feeding almost solely on grain, milk, dates and water, living constantly in the open air, moderate in all things and cleanly, be cause their religion enjoins constant ablutions. Like them, wild animals have no induced diseases. The greater number do not eat to excess. They take regular exercise in seeking their food and drink only at fixed hours. .Many of them secure change of climate, one of the greatest factors in health, by mi gration. This is not confined to birds and beasts, for the salmon enters the soft water partly to get rid of sea parasites and returns to the sea to recruit after spawning. With change of climate, change of diet aud perfectly healthy habits their list of disorders is short, though they readily fall victims to con tagious disease just as recently numbers of the Hamran Arabs of the Sudan, as healthy livers and good Mussulmans as the Somalis themselves, friends and fel low hunters with Sir Samuel Baker, perished of contagious fever on the banks of the Nile tributaries.—London Spectator.

Howell Ordinance is Adopted But the Bar Men Ssy They Will Continue to Close at Ten O’Ulock as Before. Unless Mayor King vetoes the ordi nance passed at yesterday’s meeting of the gensral council the saloon men with in the fire limits can keep open bars un til 12 o'clock at night. That is those saloon keepers who wish to deposit $63 a month for hiring extra police can keep open but not otherwise. This the bar men refuse to do. At a meeting of the council just pre vious to yesterday’s meeting Mr, Howell introduced tho same ordinance and it was voted down. The members of the police board were however pleased with the idea as a larger police force is a ne cessity and succeeded in having a spec ial meeting called for yesterday. After motions almost jjjiruberless and a lengthy and somewhat heated discus sion, the Howell ordinance was adopted with several amendments, by the follow ing vote: Aye—Howell, Harrelson, Colvin, Tol bert. Ilirsch, Camp, Dav, Campbel), In man, Welch of the fifth, and Sims—ll. Nays—Mayson, Welch of the second, Dodge, Bell aud Miller—s. As the law now stands any saloon keeper who wishes to keep open doors until 12 o’clock must pay into the city treasury enough money to cover the full term ot the exposition at the rate of $65 a month, the hire of a policeman; aud even then he cannot keep open unless enough money is put in to employ fifty officers. Another amendment provides that an officer shall be stationed at each open bar after 10 o’clock. The ordinance was sent to Mayor King for his approval, but he has not yet sig nified whether or not he will sign it. BAR MEN OBJECT. An important meeting of the retail liquor dealers was held this morning at which it was decided not to accept the proposition made them by the council yesterday afternoon. A large number were present. Mr. Peter Lynch presided and Mr. S. D. Zacharias acted as secretary. Upon the motion of Mr. O’Donovan the proposition was unanimously re fused. The meetingadjourning without any further business being transacted. The bar men say the conditions were not satisfactory and they could see no money in the scheme. MRS. FRANK RYAN DEAD. Away at Her Home on Washington Street Till* Morning. Mrs. Frank Ryan, died at her resi dence 198 Washington street this morn ing at 5 o'clock. Mrs. Ryan was forty-six years of age. She was an affectionate wife and de voted mother possessing all the noble and true graces that characterize a Christian woman. Her amiable dispo sition had won for her a large circle of friends that will deplore her untimely deal h. For more than a year Mrs. Ryan has been in declining health, but her sud den death was unexpected. Mr. Ryan’s many triends sympathize with him deeply in his sad hour of affliction. The funeral will occur from the resi dence tomorrow afternooon and the interment will be at Oakland cemetery. EXPOSITION ATTRACTIONS. Prominent Features In the Buildings and on tbe Midway. POUTER COTTON AND WOOLEN MILLS The above named extensive manufac turing establishment makes a most cred itable exhibit in the Georgia Manufac turers Building. As this is strictly a home institution, owned and operated by Georgia men, a pardonable pride is felt by all Georgians in the magnificent dis play made at tho exposition. The plant of the Porter Manufactur ing Company is'located in Habersham county near Cornelia, where al) mall matter is received, while Clarksville, from which point all shipments are made, is in easy reach. The mills are operated by water power from the river (Indian name Sookee or Hog River) which has a fall of forty feet in three hundred. The capacity of the mills is three thou sand cotton spindles and four sets of wool cards of forty eight inches. The product consists of Jeans, Cottonades, Ducks, Warp, Yarns etc , and the entire output is marketed in Atlanta by Messrs. A. M. Robinson <v Co. The supply ot wool comes chiefly from Georgia. South Carolina, Alabama and Mississippi, but the product from Smyrna, Asia has been used to some extent. Mr. J. H. Porter, of Atlanta, aud pres ident of the Merchants National Bank of this city, is also president of the Porter Manufacturing Co. Tbe general mana ger and architect Is Col. James W. Rob ertson, than whom, a more efficient offi cer could not be found.

An elaborate display is made of their leading specialties, such as pills, granules, hypodermic tablets, tab let triturates, compressed tablets,' fluid extracts, tinctures, syrups, elixirs etc. The arrangement of the display is par ticularly note-worthy, and is due to the concert management of Messrs. G. H. Wilson and A. M. Hanna, the genial Southern representatives of this exten sive manufacturing establishment. These gentlemen vie one with the other in courteous treatment of visitors, and have even at tils early date, made a host of friends. Physicians visiting the expo sition. are extended a cordial invitation to visit the display of The G, F. Harvey Company. THK A. B.

They reached Atlanta yesterday afternoon, accompanied by a?chaperon and were met and given i places of permanent abode by that : popular chevalier, mine Host Lambert,, who, in joint partnership with Mon- ', sieur Michank, are the proprietors of j the picture of life in Germany. Edibles that are served in Germany, i wines and beer of “de faderland,” the j theaters as the are seen in the Kaisir ; domain; and, in fact, everything that | will delight the German American, and i all the English speaking people will be dispensed with by the maids of hon or who have almost exclusive charge of all the fun in this magnificent pal-j ace of entertainment for exposition visitors. THE SIXGEB’S WHITE PALACE. The world famed Singer Sewing Ma chine is presented to public view in«j most befitting manner. The exhibit is i under the control of the Richmond cen tral distributing office of the South Eas tern States and is a model of elegance, artistic taste and architectral perfection.

One of the most attractive exhibits, in the Machinery building, and of the most instructive to the lovers of the beautiful, is Anderson Bros’. Silk Loom. These gentlemen, whose home is in Paterson, N. J., are the patentees and proprietors. Their superiority over all competitors, is evidenced by the premiums they have won. Messrs. Anderson have presented the claims of these Looms at all of the Amercan ex positions, for the past fifteen years, and at Antwerp, Belgium, and have in every instance, been awarded the high est premium. They are in full opera tiontoday and will continue the manu facture of silk souveneirs during the exposition. A NEW AND WONDERFUL INVENTION. The Dry Kalsomine and Fresco Paint Works of 25 and 27 John street, Brook lyn, N. Y., makes a very handsome and attractive display demonstrative of the new and wonderful invention, Johnson’s Fibrous Distemper Paint, which will prove a formidable competitor in the world of colors, The beauty of tbe Fi brous over other paints is very decided and commends itself to tbe discrimina ting eye at a glance. The booth is orna mented with panels showing the Fibrous Paint worked in relief accomplishing the greatly desired textile effects and of an almost indestructible material. The panels present a variety of different styles to which this Fibrous Paint is adapted, notably the rococo, renaissance, colonial, empire and modern styles, not to mention the solid body of pleasant colors and tints interspersed therewith. The toughness, easy preparation and low price of this paint will commend it to all who delight in artistic effects in decora tion. Mr. John J. Hasselman, a most affable gentleman, is the inventor, and invites the public to call and examine into tbe merits of this latest and best decorating material. The exhibit is in the east wing, section A, of Manufactur ers and Liberal Aris building: TJIE GENUINE GEORGIA BARBECUE and jolly Jack Callaway are at the expo sition “in great shape” and exquisite per fection. Georgia is famed for its barbe cue feasts aud the work of no man has conspired as much toward making it fa mous as has that of Sheriff Callaway. He is an artistic genius around the pits and the man who fails of enjoyment at the Georgia Barbecue .would complain if sumptuously dined in heaven. Bruns wick Stew with needful trimmings, bar becued lamb, shoat, and beef, vegeta bles, bread, coffee and butter milk will be served, cooked “to the queen’s taste” and is yours for a half dollar. Every body who has been initiated once, craves for another experience, while those who have never “rubbed up against” a Geor gia Barbecue will avail themselves of this golden opportunity. This Mecca for the hungry millions is located near tbe Manufacturers and Liberal Arts Build ing easy of access and worthy of patron age. ARKANSAS AT THE EXPOSITION. There is no exhibit in Agricultural hall that can cope with the Arkansas exhibit in the fruit display. Between 600 and 800 plates of deli cious, large and luscious grapes, apples, pears,‘peaches, quinces, etc., are shown which cannot be surpassed on the American continent. Mr. W. G. Vinctnbelles has charge of the exhibit and there is none better in the land to arrange as artistically as he has done this picture of the Re sources of his state. Mr. Vincinbeller has labored untir ingly for many years to show what the advantages of Arkansas are, and as a synonym of his success tbe exhibit in tiie centre of the building speaks for itself. AN IDEAL EXHIBIT. One es tbe most attractive exhibits on the grounds is that of L. E. Water man Co., of 157 Broadway, New York, manufacturers of Waterman’s Ideal Fountain Pens. A reliable fountain pen is now regarded everywhere by progressive people as the most practi cal and convenient writing instrument —a grateful relief from the drudgery of “dip” pens and untidy inkstands. The seeker after the “best” will find Wa terman's the “ideal” in fact as well as in name. In the Waterman the philo sophical feature, "the split,” which has not been improved upon since the days of tbe Egyptian scribes, is re tained. and the gold pens—which alone are used—are the very best that money can buy or human ingenuity can conceive. The “bolder” is made of bard rubber in the most convenient shape, while the "feed” conducts tbe ink from the reservoir to the pen point with absolute uniformity and certain ty. Recent United States patent office decisions render all but two fountain pens unsaleable, of which the Water man is easily tbe best, hnd its reputa- tion extends over two continents. This very creditable display is located in the west wing of the Manufacturers and I iberal Arts Building and is presided over by Mr. F. D. Waterman, than whom a more genial gentleman can not be found. The public,and especially the stationery trade, is invited to call and examine into the merits ot this fa mous pen. One of the most entertaning, popular anil unique amusements of the exposi tion is TIIE SCENIC RAILWAY. The location is all that could bo de sired, anil a ride on the scenic is indulged in by both young and old. The pavilion is near Machinery Hall at the main en trance to Midway Heights. The reasua al. < charge of ten cents is made, and all vis! rs avail themselves of this oppor tunity for innocent and pleasant amuse men' FROSOLON’S BAND IS HERE. Antonio Frosolon is here with his Ital ian band one of tho best string bands in the South. He is now ready for engage ments. and can be found at the Mark ham House. A K. HAWKES. Possibly there ’* no one in thia country wl has gained the reputation and fame in rhe manufacrare of spectacles, and as a practical optician, as Mr. Hawkes. His inventions and improvements in this line have given him a name that extends over the -utire country. Millions of people arc familiar with the name Hawkes. He began in a very small way 28 years ago, until now 30,000,000 of people are fami liar with his work. There are eight thousand cities from New York to Cali fornia, where his glasses can be bought but are never peddled. His headquart ers is at 12 Whitehall street, Atlanta,Ga. A TRIO OF WONDERS. The Little World, Battle of Atlanta and Magic city are three ingenious and wonderful productions of an Atlanta man. Mr. J. W. Vaughn. The mechani cal knowledge and ability displayed by the builder of these wonders is as m.ir- I velotis as the wonders themselves and they must be seen to be i; preciated. Imagination can conceive many things bin rhe mind which can form even a feeble idea of the beauties which clus ter around either of these wonderful contrivances must be vivid beyond na ture. TIIE LITTLE WORLD is composed of a group of mechanical figures representing almost every con- • ceivable occupation in life and all in action. A ininaturetrain, electric car, steam boat, a man and a mule, a brass band and a blacksmith, a woman and a windmill, and a thousand and one oth er figures are operated with life-like ! precision and regularity. The devices j are too numerous to mention while their movements are realistic in the extreme. The entire mechanical de vice is most intricate and will prove ot interest to the young and old alike. This attraction will prove one of the most popular on the grounds. THE BATTLE' OF ATLANTA is a most unique idea which depicts with minature figures one of the fiercest contests of t he war bet ween the states. This realistic production will cause many to revert to the dark and bloo ly scenes enacted dn that memor able July day while the younger gen eration will witness the struggle as it was fought. The cannon and guns act in reality, the soldiers charge and re treat and days and doings of the “long ago” are re-enacted. The Battle of At lanta must be seen to be appreciated. It is located next to the Little World. THE MAGIC CITY Is a city in ininature complete in all of its appointments and filled with an eager, energetic people. This attrac tion ad joins the Battle of Atlanta and is worthy the liberal patronage it is sure to receive. Music will be furnish ed at all of these attractions by a plana invented by Mr. Vaughn. THE ILLINOIS CANNING CO. Something New in Canned Beani, Their exhibit In Agricultural Building. Manager W. B. Cheatham of the above concern is very proud of his most artl’ti? and well arranged display of canned goods. French red kidney bc-.uis as prepared by the Illinois Can ning company are a delicious and most toothsome morsel and stand pre-emi nently at the head of the list in the way of canned products. The sale of this bean ail over ths South has been very large and is stead ily growing. Do not fail to look this i exhibit up and you will be served with J a dish of this food that you may judge. To Sapplant Tin Can., Cans made of paper pulp are being in troduced to take the place of tin cans for containing all kinds of preserved products, says the New York Snn. The occasional cases of poisoning from can ned goods are due to the contents be coming tainted through the cans not be ing airtight. Many millions of tin cans j are used annually by canned goods fac tories in this country, and such cases of injury from tainted goods are compara tively rare, but because it is possible, through slight defects in the solder or minute breaks in the cans, for such dan ger to result, the canners have been looking for a satisfactory substitute for tin. It is believed that this has at last teen found in the paper pulp cans. They are oilproof as well as waterproof, will not expand or contract, and will stand as much rough usage in shipment as tin cans, and perhaps more. The Wheel a Test of Character, j Certain disgruntled philosophers have I contended that the woman you see is seldom the woman you think you see. 1 Mounted upon bicycles, most women have to tell the truth about themselves. One can distinguish at a glance the dar . ing, willful beauty from the timid, ten | der girl. The woman is reduced for tha moment to the plane of a boy, whose good looks or lack of them, health, vig or of mind and body are apparent. I will even go so far as to advise a man not to get married until he has seen tha object of his choice disport herself upon a bicycle.—Philadelphia Times.
