Mr. Carey will go to i-New York or Cincinnati, whichever place has the best supply of animals on hand at this time. He will probably buy a pair of Hons, an axis deer, which Is the beau tiful spotted variety, and a fallow deer, which Is white: a mare camel to mate with the male now in the park, of the bactrlan variety: a female llama. to mate with the male In the park: a female kangaroo, to make a pair In the zoo: a black leopard, which Is one of the most beautiful of all the-wild ani mals, and a number of monkeys. These will add much to the present collection, but It Is still but a nucleus of what the department expects to have ; within a few years. Park authorities say the people want a big animal col lection, and their proof Is the large number who constantly visit the de pleted present one. And for that rea son they say animals will certainly be I secured. ' Charged He,Was Not on the Maine Night of the Explosion. Hsvsns, June 21,—Mute evidence to disprove theVharge that Captain Sign- bee. in command of the Ill-fated Maine, was not on board the vessel on the night she was sunk to the bottom by an explosion, was discovered today In the officers quarters. It was the coat of a captain's uniform and that the wearer had taken It off only a short time be fore the explosion occurred, was Indi cated by the fact that It was found outside the wardrobe. Captain Slgsbec- took dinner away from the Maine that night, and It had been charged that he did not return to th<- vessel. The pumping continued today, but with hardly appreciable effect on the water within the cofferdam. Skating! Easily learned. Two Petitions Asking For Re call Are Being Circulated at Montgomery.

Our commlaalon friend, atarted Into thla campaign by aeaurlng ua all that our city official, “were good and effi cient men. but the ayatem waa wrong." For tha laat day or two they have avl- denced a change of opinion, and think now that city offlclala are low down politicians and that a "ring" control* our ayatem. We did not fall over our- selvea and out of gratitude for tha kindly oplnlone In which we were per- eonally held by our dear commlaalon frlenda Join In with their movement. Hence we are no longer nice men, who, to the "wonder of all, have been able to accomplish much under a worn-out ayatem," hut we are the "only men who defend that old ayatem," and. of co#rae, by Implication, we are told that we are Ita beneficiaries. If we are renzonably good men and are fnmlllnr with the preeent govern ment, haven't we the natural right Klven to nny American citizen to de Inate graft. Our charter wae drawn with that In design nearly 40 years ago, and It haa been effective all the time. "Commlaslonera," they eay, ao ar range bookkeeping system that you can tell at any time your financial condi tion. Go aak any clerk In our comp troller's office and In 30 mlnjitea time he can tell you the exact condition of every Item of the 34,300,000 we are spending thla year. Try It and eee. Critic* say our ayatem was con demned two year* ago. You, Mr. Ed itor, paid for an audit by tha American Audit Company, and that company re ported to you that the system prevail ing waa the latest on. yet devised for municipal accounting, and It has th Indorsement of the League of Amerl can Municipalities and the United States census bureau. I am serving the third consecutive year In the common council. Since I have been In that body 1 have seen the minimum pay of echont teachers raised from 140 per month to approximately |8n. The policemen and firemen hav fend mtr views, even tho they do not sliding scale which gives a twenty per accord with the friends who have re- cent Increase. The flushers I n the sanitary department and the guards and •drivers In the street de partment have had an Increase of ten per cent or more. It Is true that In cently developed such a liking and hnnk'erlng for our city’s civic welfare? If wc are honest men, and 1>*lleve thai our governmental system Is corrupt or Inefficient, we are cowards not to say iO. Equally. If we believe that our ivstem Is capable, clean and efficient, w’e ought to say so. one more word about charges against _J. Wo have seen In print somewhere a statement that only city officials and employees are rushing to the defense of our rlty. Who should come, for God’s snke? A* a matter of fact thatimwn* of comfort to every Inmate. So statement misses the truth by several J that cleanliness and better sanitary thousand, but aren’t we the people who I conditions now prevail. We have bought land and erected and have gone to the men who do tho wori. Instead of to the heads of departments. While these Increases In pay have been made. In each case meritorious, other Improvements have not been neglected. Our city prison has been enlarged from a small, crowded affair to a building oL sufficient atxe to afford adequate Aa a matter of fact that j mw !ought to defend our conduct? | The advocates of commission gov ernment say that a commlislon charter i removes party politics. For a genera tion we have had no party politics In l our municipal elections In Atlanta. Which removed the evil first? They now have In operation a tuberculosis hospital, which. In the opinion of ex perts, will soon stamp out the white plague tbpt Is responsible for a large percentage of our high death rate. . We have laid 75 miles of curb andl Ifitcallta an/1 hv tha mnrl nf thla * year we will have removed nearly all surface closets thru the building of seweri. Our water system has been extended materially without the use of bonds, and the question of night toil has been entirely removed from further troubling us. All these matters, and hundred* of others—as, for Instance, everlncreaslng appropriations for parks and playgrounds, a payment of 373,- 800 on our Auditorium, nearly 1100.000 on our magnificent new city hall—have been accomplished. These Instances might be and will be multiplied, and nearly every one of them has been fought out In the xpen, where every cltlsen desiring could be heard. This does not go Into detail, but the details are available, and will gladly be furnished. There la no stag nation. but a continual expansion of Improvements. No mention haa been made of the Improvements In th# bond department, for to give every detail would Involve too much space. But I will say thla: The estimates which were mads and from which savings have been made were submitted to the people In the bond election and were approved by them. Bo, of course, they know whnt han been done—even If commission ad- rentes do not. Very respectfully. ALDIKE CHAMBERS. Atlanta, Ga., June 14, 1911. Everybody will have a jolly time on the Tallulah Falls excursion Friday, June 23. tell us that the old systems which were j sidewalks and by the end of thla {supplanted created floating debts. At-, most co-equal with our present charter Is a fundaments) prohibition of floating debt. Who deserves the credit. If not the framers of our charter? They tell us that we ought to elect our representatives from the entire city. That Is our charter. In our primaries that custom prevailed until a few years ! »|i>. when the people, by a referendum {vote, decided the other way. If they have changed their minds they can easily change back.
