Fulton county's plan to take part in th<- primait in the Thirty -fifth sena torial district failed to materialize yes terday afternoon when the district ex ecutive committee met to arrange de tails. Instead of opposing Cobh and Clayton counties, the b'ulton members decided to co-operate with the repre sentatives of tile other counties to work the state legislature for separate sena torial district for Fulton. The plan is to obtain an act taking Clayton and Cobb counties out of the Thirty-fifth district, attaching them to some other district, leaving Fulton master of the Thirty-fifth. If this plan proves impossible, the passage of a con stitutional amendment creating a new senatorial district, the Furylh-fitth, will be urged for Fulton. Both Cobb and Clayton counties have agreed to this arrangement, but the plan will not interfere with the coining primary. The committee adopted Au gust 21 as the date and August 26 as the date for the senatorial convention to name the new executive committee. Clayton county, whose turn it is to have the senator under the rotation system, will be allowed to name its own man.

At a meet ing of the creditors of the Perkins Man ufacturing Company, held here, John P. Mulherin. George A. Toale and George F. White were elected perma nent trustees. They were 'instructed to wind up the affairs of the company as quickly as possible. As soon as the concern acknowledged bankruptcy, Joseph Ganahl, referee, named Messrs. Mulherin and Toale as receivers. Within a day or two the announcement came from Macon that Judge Emory Speer had held up the ap pointments because Mr. Ganahl’s term of office had expired and he had no right to make the appointments. Speer then sent George F White, I'nited States marshal, to Augusta to take charge. About the time that White came over Judge Speer reappointed Ganahl and subsequently Messrs. White, Mulherin and Toale were named temporary receivers by the referee. Now, the three temporary receivers have been made permanent trustees.

REMOVAL OF ERSKINE FOUNT TO PIEDMONT PARK IS NEWEST PLAN The park board and the streets com mittee will recommend to the council that the location of the Judge John Er skine memorial fountain, at the junc tion of the Peachtrees and Baker'street, be changed. A number of citizens peti tioned for the action, and the council is expected to adopt a resolution request ing the park board to find a more suit able location. Forrest Adair, w ho spoke for the cit izens at a mass meeting, said the foun . tain should be taken better care of and that in its present location it had become an undesirable loafing place. It is expected tnat the fountain will be placed in Piedmont park. The fountain is one of the most beau tiful works of art in the city. No ap propriation has been made for its up keep for a number of years. In Pied mont park the regular appropriation for the park would be sufficient to beautify its surroundings with a grassy plot and l keep the fountain in working order.

OUEENSOT FOND OF O.SJGIETT Alexandra Shuns American Women—Would Keep Court Old-Fashioned. - NEW YORK. Aug. S.—" The English court is discouraging to Americans." "The queen is not fond of Ameri cans." "Queen Mary desires to preside over an old-fashioned: conservative court.” These statements, that will send a chill down th'- spines of many a cot tager at Newport or Bar Harbor and many a fond society or “subsociety" mamma whose dearest wish it is to present her debutante daughter at the Court of St. James, were made yester day by Mrs. Algernon Aspinall, who is stopping at the Vanderbilt hotel. Mrs. Aspinall. w hose husband is sec retary of the West India commission, is a noted bbauty . She possesses a creamy satin complexion showing beneath the soft pink tints of peach-like bloom. "It is too bad that the queen is not fond of Americans." she said. "Ameri cans are so delightful and interesting. It is true that they are always in a rush, but that is what makes them interest ing to me. Queen Mary Old Fashioned. "But the queen wishes to maintain an English court—slow. Conservative, everything moving by rule and rote. Queen Mary is different in temperament from Queen Alexandra, whom the Eng lish people fairly idolize. But Queen Mary, it must be confessed, is old fash ioned in her notions. “I fancy that is the reason so many of your society people have remained at home this season, the English court, to put it mildly, being just a little bit dis couraging toward the American who is not officially represented at court. <if course, ni ny American women, splen did women, come within the class that is officially represented through their marriage to titled Englishmen." Dodge Ices and Late Hours. Mrs. Aspinall has some decided idea on the question of diet and proper methods of living for women. "What is your recipe for an attrac tive complexion.’" she was asked. "What is the secret of the British wom an's freshness and good looks?" "Well." volunteered the English beau ty languidly, "do the things American i women don't do.” "Fiir instance." she went on, "these are a few of the enemies to good looks, and the ruination of the American woman's complexion: "Too many ice beverages. "Late hours. "< Iverheat'-d houses. "Ton many sei iai engagement-. "Overeating. "Insufficient rest and relaxation. "We English women know how to rest," said Mrs. Aspinall. "And we don't, hurry and fuss over things. Tin English people never hurry. | think tile fact that Americans are always in such a frightful rush and display such great nervous energy is what makes] thorn so faseuia'.ing tn the slow -going 1 Englishman."

LONDON, Aug. 8. —For once fashion has taken a direction which promises to be of general benefit to humanity. \t ontankind, or at least such as have i access to the longest purses, are short- Ily to use snakeskin for garments of ! quite everyday wear. i Whether the new robes will prove as artistic as is expected remains to be seen; they will certainly lend them selves in skillful hands to the sizing of whatever graces there may be in the person of the wearer, and if the fashion thins out the number of these dangerous reptiles all over the world, humanity will owe a debt of gratitude to the inventor of new modes. \\ e may yet come to see python-skin sold by the yard over the dry goods counters, for the python is a big beast, occasionally reaching, when full grown, 30 feet in length and a foot or more in diameter; thus, apparently, a single skin might supply enough stuff to make an ordinary gown on modern lines. hat the cost will be one can not vet say. It will obviously bo high, for ser pents of the largest size are not to be met with every.day. The market price of skins, in view of the coming demand, has already gone up to a very high figure, and in Borneo. Sumatra and all over the Malay Archipelago native hunters are scour ing the wilderness, tempted by the of fers of dealers in Paris and Vienna, and killing or capturing every big snake they meet with. How Pythohs Are Caught, In Malaya the "reticulated" python or rice-snake—so called from his habit of frequenting the paddy-swamps where small game abounds—is the largest of available serpents. The native hunt ers, when seeking them, look for the tracks they make in their nightly for aging expeditions, and place on each a large cane construction much on the principle of the eel trap. The python entering this to get at some small an-' imal used as bait finds himself unable to retreat, and is starved into quietness. Pythons are also captured in the open, which is a distinctly exciting,kind of sport, if the hunters should have the good luck to find one asleep, coiled up on some branch or rocky ledge, gorged with his last meal, they throw a net of strong rope over him and then a long battle begins; for the python combines the strength of a horse with a special inability to understand when he has met his match, it being as much as a dozen men can do eventually to bind and secure a full-grown specimen. Blouses From the Amazon. But It is not only in eastern coun tries snakes big enough to supply rough material for blouse and skirt are tn be found. In South America some re markably large kinds haunt the dense forests, especially of the Amazon, and the swamps of the interior. Brazil has its boa constrictors; « hile in other re gions the water-loving anaconda is nu merous, growing to a length of ten or twelve feet, with a girth of a yard in the thickest part, this representing a great deal of available fabric for the Parisian dressmaker to exert her skill upon. Ranging in proportions below these immense reptiles are a world of other snakes, fascinating in patterns and in finitely delicate in coloring. While the more important sorts will no doubt be reserved for dresses, the lesser varieties may lend thenjselves to scarfs, muffs, gloves, and so on. for it is said that properly prepared snakeskin is both soft and durable. The anaconda is already “bespoke” for the latest thing in motor coats, and thus used makes an attrac tive novelty. Made up in delicate shades of cream color and brown, and lined with satin to match, the material forms most attractive garments, which are especially desirable by reason of thejr lightness. They weigh almost nothing at all, and it is reported "never wear out.” Four fair-sized skins make a tour ing coat, but there is some trouble in matching them perfectly, other uses will doubtless be found for a species 'f lesser girth, and a novel change will come over the dry goods windows when the fashion is fully established and snake-hide becomes a common article of wear.
