LONDON TRYING ID BE BOHEMIAN Moral Reputation of City Los ing Money, So She’s Bidding Again for Tourists. LONDON. July 25.—Aside from last ar when the coronation, like a circus narade attracted visitors from all direc tions London has reason to complain that the 'number of tourists visiting the city ch year is dwindling and those who are Interested in the influx of foreigners anx inus to get rid of their money have begun |n look for the reason why London ap s less attractive to tourists than Continental cities like Paris and Berlin, ufter many deliberations these people ' mP st unwillingly have come to the result that London is too dull, that it holds out few promises of amusement to visitors, who do not like to be forced to go to bed when the hour of midnight rings the cur few hell and when gaiety begins in ear nest in Continental cities. if It had not meant an actual loss of money London would have liked to con tinue to pose as the most virtuous and moral city in the world, where even naughty foreign visitors were forced to be good, but as the tourists evidently pre ferred to avoid imprisoning themselves even temporarily in an incubator of mor als, n could probably not be considered a deadly sin to give these people, who did not want to be good, a chance to de bauch themselves in London, and so ex perts were sent to Paris and Berlin to find out what kind of sinful amusements seemed to attract the people most. Cabaret the Proper Thing. The exports returned some weeks ago with' the report that in both 'places cer tain quaint and rather uncomfortable cases, generally hidden tn cellars or sheds, and in which people talked to each other without being introduced and on the whole acted very strangely, according to English ideas, seemed to attract tourists more than anything else after the hour of curfew These places had all kinds of absurd and ridiculous names as "the dead rat" or "the gay rabbit,” but on the whole were known as cabarets. It was then decided that London must have a cabaret, a very Bohemian one, where manners and everything were to be free and easy and where everyone pos sessing true Bohemian spirit, and nobody else, would be welcome. And as every thing in London must be a club, the Cab aret club was formed and a place called "The Golden Calf was opened, into which you can not enter unles you pay five guineas for being a member, thus proving yourself a true Bohemian. So, London from now on is with Paris and Berlin- It has its cabaret. A Lon doner went down there the other night with the most optimistic expectations. People Very Uncomfortable. It was not easy to find the cave which Is hidden in Heddon street, off Regent street, of whose existence he had hith erto been blissfully ignorant, but he noted an open door and a rickety wooden stair leading into unknown depths. It was the place, and strangely un-Londonlike did It look. The iron girders of the low cell ing had been painted green and yellow and an army of futurists had been turned loose on the walls. The floor was well filled with little round tables and at one end level with the floor was a stage with a blue curtain. As a tourist resort, the place is so far evidently a failure. There were quite a few people in the audience, but a single glance told one could see they were Eng lish. The men all looked as if they were cooling a very hot potato in their mouths and the women never once dared raise their eyes from the floor. Then, of course, they were all In evening dress, for it was not Indeed after six in the evening. Everything, however, was Bohemian except the audience, and little Bohemians on the stage tolled desperately for three hours to soften the starch of the conven tional Britishers all In vain. GEORGIA-TENNESSEE POWER COMBINATION IS CHARGED AT ROME ROME. GA., July 25.—That the Georgia Railway anti Power Company "ill control both the East Tennessee Power Company and the Rome Railway and Light Company in Rome in a year's time is the belief of Mayor Ben I. 1 ancey.

Embroideries, laces and veilings, hard work, close mental application and an understanding sympathy with the world that buys—there you have the daily work of Mrs. Eva Argo, the buyer for and manager of the "frou-frou” de partment of M. Rich & Bros. Co. Mrs. Argo has been 21 years on Whitehall street. She has purchased many times in New York and she has ordered laces from Dublin and Brus sels direct. She Is a hard worker and a scientific worker, but the kind of work she does Is the kind many women can do. “In the first place,” said Mrs. Argo, "I would rather be in the particular de partment I am in for the reason that one’s associations are of the highest class.

That class of women can be served intelligently and without reference to foolish whims or tawdry tastes. One feels the reflections of her associations in her own life. “In telling you my own story, I am telling you the story of a type, and it can be so considered. “I began work in a dry goods store 25 years ago. It was in the Lothrop store in Washington city. From there I went to Richmond and from there to Atlanta. I was never a cash girl or a stock girl, but I began at the bottom of the ladder just the same. In looking back over the years, I can see but two dominant reasons why I advanced —a study of the busi ness and hard, conscientious work. Studied Carefully. "Everything which attracted my at tention I studied carefully. Before long I began to have a fair general knowl edge of the inner workings of a dry goods store. This knowledge continued to grow broader and broader until I was a worker of certain value to my firm. Promotion followed in the natu ral order. "A number nf things are necessary to success. One must know something of mathematics, must have an artistic sense and must understand human na ture. She also must manifest a sym pathy for every - purchaser who comes into her department. “These qualities need not necessarily be developed to an abnormal degree. A moderate allowance of each will get her through quite acceptably If she has the willingness and the ambition. The lace, embroidery and veiling depart ment of a dry goods store is a busi ness any woman can follow without loss of refinement or without injury to her feelings.

C A HOME YS TO BE 10 STORIES HIGH IF PEOPLE GIVE FREELY Tentative plans submitted by Chicago architects for the new Young Men’s Chris tian association building call for a ten story structure of unique design. The ten stories will be constructed if the sub scriptions come in as promised. The committee has announced plainly that it will not go into debt to construct the building, hut will make it just what At lantans show by subscriptions they want It to be. The structure, as planned, will be of massive design, built of cream colored brick with terracotta and stone orna mentation and covered with a sloping roof of red tile. Balconies and a roof garden will relieve the massiveness of the struc ture. Work will start by the end of this year and the building committee hopes to complete it within a year. Strictly speaking, there will be three buildings instead of one. The part of the structure intended for men will be di vided from that used by the boys. These two divisions will face Luckie street, op posite the Tabernacle. Directly back of them will stand a two-story structure for bathing pools, gymnasiums, and all sorts of indoor sports.

UNWRITTEN LAW AND EMOTIONAL INSANITY PLEAS SAVE STARNES ROME, GA., July 25.—Accused of killing Douglas Harris, an eighteen year-old boy, in the lobby of the Cher okee hotel last December, Uriah L. Starnes was acquitted in the superior court yesterday afternoon. On Starnes' first trial the jury was deadlocked. Starnes based his defense on the un written law and emotional insanity. He claimed that Harris, who came from one of the best known families of LaGrange, boarded at his home and alienated the affections of his wife. On the evening of December 28, 1911, Starnes walked into the lobby of the Cherokee hotel, where Harris was clerking at a cigar stand. After nearly an hour’s conversation, Starnes drew hts pistol and killed Harris. Walking to a barber shop, he communicated over a telephone to some one and is alleged to have said: “I got him; he’s dead.” To Drive Out Malaria and Build up the System Take the Old Standard GROVE'S TASTE LESS CHILL TONIC You know what you are taking.

MACON, GA.. July 25.—E. J. Car penter, an Atlanta detective, has been bound over by a local justice of the peace to stand trial in the superior court on the charge of stealing the evi dence that was used yesterday to se cure the conviction of J. A. Jordan, a local real estate dealer, on the charge of trespass and malicious mischief. He gave bond in the sum of S2OO. Jordan and the Adams Realty Com pany were competitors in the develop ment of suburban negro property. The stakes and signs on the Adams prop erty were pulled up and burned one night, and when replaced they were painted over and placards posted warn ing negroes not to buy any of the prop erty. Adams charged Jordan with the offense, and at the trial of the latter pages from Jordan's ledger were pro duced containing handwriting which tallied with that on the placards. Jor dan then swore out a warrant charging the detective with stealing this docu mentary evidence while in his house asking for a pail of water for an auto mobile.
