RICH CASH PRIZE IS
OFFERED BY N. Y. WORLD
Five hundred thousand' dollars has
been eptnt in the Taberneele enter
prises since their beginning twelve
years age.
In addition to what has been spent in
ministering to the needs of the sick
and tha poor and keeping up the va-
rious enterprieea of this great work
which requires the servicoa of some
sixteen paid staff workers atone, $75,000
has bean put into the beautiful new
hospital building and its equipment—
Forty thousand dollars into the prop
erty on Luckia-st., on which the new
building is being built.
The old building and grounds will ba
sold for betwoan $35,000 and $50,000
and applied to the new building as soon
as ths old place can be spared.
Twenty-five thousand dollars has al
ready been spent for material and labor
in the new Tabernacle building and
work waa stopped because there was
not a dollar in the treasury with which
to pay even ths laborers.
It will take in the neighborhood of
$200,000 to complete all the buildings
and apparatus needed to take care of
tha work of this institution, but if $75,
000 is raised now, with what there is in
tight from the tale of the old building
snd other sources, the Tabernacle
building can be gotten under roof and
work carried on there.
Of all the money that has bean spent
to keep alive this great work among
our people the larger part haa corns
from people outside of Atlanta, muoh
of it even coming from England.
Tha bulk of that raised in Atlanta
has been given in the smallest sums
by tha poorer classes.
It stems now that the work of this
institution has reached a point where
it haa made good to an extant that it
commands ths help of the people at
large, and The Georgian believes that
tha people of this oity will do as they
have always done by colleges, hos
pitals and anything else that will help
our city, and lend a band that will
make possible tha return of the work
mon to the walls.
Tha $75,000 that muat ba had now
and for which subacrfptiona are asked
is to be applied strlotly to the oomple
tion of the building under way and no
port of it ia for salaries or any other
purposs,
Ths finsnoss of this enterprise are
at carefully accounted for as those of
•ny business house in Atlanta. The
treasurers of these funda are under
bond, and any man who wants to see
what haa bean done with the money
that has baan given to this Institution
it welcome to the records of the twelve
yoars of its life.

Atlantlo City, N, J., May 2Sc—William

will remain in Atlantic City unless the
people make It too unpleasant for me
and my family. I will at once try to
obtain a position, and before long thfl
sad occurrence will be forgotten.
'I heard rumors that In case I was
set free I would suffer bodily harm.
I do not fear anything of that sort and
will stay In the city unless I feel that
It la to my advantage to go elsewhere."
In marked contrast to the day t)iat
William Beyler and hla brother, Orvle,
were brought back to this city, after
their arrest, waa the scene of their
arrival h*re.
It appeared almost Incredible that
the men who had been hooted, hlaaed
and threatened aa they stepped froht
the train on their way to police head
quarters when they were brought back
from Virginia only three months ago
should have received the ovation that
waa given them on their return as free

The acquitted nun hastened to hU
home and the wife who had been loyal
to’ him. Their meeting was pathetic.
Mrs. Seyler threw her arms about het
husband's neck and drew him Into the
house.

Comptroller General W. A. Wright
will not be a candidate for the govern
orship of Georgia at the coming Au
gust primary.
This fact was made public Thursday
morning by General Wright In an an
nouncement In which he statea his. po
sition and the reasons why he deems It
Inadvisable to further uso his hame In
connection with the coming gubernato
rial campaign.
It waa first suggested by The Geor
gian several months ago that General
Wright might become a compromise
candidate for the governorship and thus
unite the factions In the Democratic
party In this state. It was the opin
ion of many that hla candidacy would
eliminate a bitter campaign and tha
consequent objectionable features 'that
prevailed during the last contest.
Viewed In the light of recent events,
the announcements of other candidates
and consequent complications. It ap
pears that the accomplishment of the
result Intended would bo Impossible.
In his announcement General
Wright haa this to say:
"When, In the Interest of peace and
harmony In the Democratic party of
the state. It waa suggested In The
Georgian that I might be a compromise
candidate for governor, It was thought
by my friends from all sections of tho
state and from the ranks of both dl
visions of the party that my rsndl
daey would unite the people and avert
another heated campaign. I, under
such conditions, would have been will
Ing to have home the standard of the
Democratic party. It appears now.
however, that the accomplishment of
thle result Is Impossible, and I there
fore deem It Inadvisable to allow the
further use of my name as a candidate
for governor, but desire to express to
my friends throughout tho state my
sincere apprecatlon of their tender of
support In the event I should become a
candidate, and to assure them that I
shall hold In grateful remembrance the
many expressions of confidence which
came to me from all classes of cltlsena
of this state.”

The lost session of the committee
C«1M lr, a cl:Mia lam Wealnoadiiy even
ing. During a previous session and n
part of the Wednesday afternoon ses
sion citizens and councUmen besieged
tin finance committee with dcinamla
for money. But tho oommltteo said
they did n6» have the money and that
they could not stretch $141,000 Into sev
eral hundred thousand.
One of tho principal demands waa
from tho prison committee. Dr. C. J.
Vaughan stated to the committee that
about $1$,600 waa. needed to carry out
tho ordinances of council In regard to
tho prison. Tho finance committee
gave $1,100 for this work.
Tha demand for street Improvements
would have taken more than the entire,
amount to be appropriated. The com
mittee made no appropriation for this
work.
For a time the feasibility of taking
; 11,000 which had boon apportioned In
January for the pavement of Marletla-
st from Tabernacle place to North-avo,
and appropriating It for other needs
was considered. The committee finally
decided that the street paving was the
most Important and let the amount
stand.
The appropriation that went to tho
schools was $12,000 for the psyment of
tho salaries of teachers’in the annexed
territory; $7,000 for general repair* and
coal, and $2,000 for tho Battle Hill
school.
Tho other apportionments, some of
which were transferred from one pur
pose to another In the same depart
ment, were as follows:
Expense* In mayor's office, $100; t'
settle legal claims, $957: for the police
department to meet the extra oost of
maintaining old men who have-been
taken off duty, $1,416; for the fire de
partment to pay architect* for new

This was a typographical error. Mr.

Chicago, May 26.— 1 This was a day of
sweeping victory for the wheat bears
on the Chicago Board of Trade, the
rout of the bulls Including, It waa be
lieved, James A. Patten, who a year
ago held the market In his grnsp In hla
great Mnv Clip. May. July unit S
tnjnbcf, wheat showed slumps,_thc Pat
ton lino being ljl tli&" latter. Tho bear
vlotory Is shown In the following fig
ures:
May wheat declined from $1.10 7-g to
$1,071-*; July from 99 $-4 to 97 2-8C,
and September from 96 to 92 7-Sc.
Hundreds of thousands of bushels of
wheat In Armour boats are being di
verted In the Great Lakes from Chi
cago to Buffalo to Eastern porta This
Indicated, grain men said, that Theo
dore H. Waterman, the Albany, N. Y„
speculator, who attempted to duplicate
tho Patten May deal of last year, has
been caught by J. Ogden Armour, the
bear leader, and that there had been
private settlement.
.Waterman has been deluged with
wheat. It Is said, the May slump today
leading the others.
Tho Impression In the pit Is that
Patten, who was associated In the deal
with hla brother, George W. Patten,
was selling out ths last of hla 20,000,-
000 bushels of September wheat at a
loss. Ths report was heard that for
several days Patten had been getting
rid of hla lino thru the name of Cap
tain J. M. Phillips, the ”Ronansa form
er” of Newton, Kane., who wo* also
long on September wheat. Patten for
soversl days had been asserting that
September wheat would advance sure
ly, but just as steadily It declined.
But while big losses were being re
corded on tha bull aide, millions of dol
lars were being added to tho fortune
of Adolph J. Llchtatern. on* of tho
largest traders In Chicago. It Is said
that the turn of the market hoe netted
h|m between $2,000,004 and $1,000,000.
