The post- naster reluctantly avows that, far from ~, a burglar, he was in the laundry keep an appointment with Miss Kate 'ittens. who ha’ reached the not imma :re age of years.

I , i g. who was bailed promptly, com ,;a red rather bitterly that he had been .mpelled to meet Miss Otens secretly •o do his courting.

RENT INCREASES FORCEDUTFIRMS Merchants Declare They Can’t Meet Big Advances—Many Seek Cheaper Quarters. September this year brought its usual epidemic of moving, but not in years has there been so many changes in the location of uptown business houses. More than a dozen prominent 'firms sought new quarters this month. High rents,” said one business man who was moving out. "What do you think of our rental jumping from $5,100 to $12,000 a year? That’s why we had to move. Couldn’t make that in cigars and soda water.” The increased rents is a natural se quel to the remarkable advance in prop erty values as shown in recent sales of uptown business sites. Some of the small concerns in Peachtree and White hall and the streets close by are paying rentals which would be out of the ques tion were not business equally as re markable.. The highest rental paid in Atlanta, location and size of property consid ered, is said to be that of a cigar store and soda fount just north of the Kim ball house Peachtree entrance. The lease, it is said, calls for $15,000 a'year, with $5,000 of improvements to be ex pended each year by the lessee, making a total of $20,000 per annum. The lease is for six years. Another cigar store i a few yards north of this pays $17,500 a year rental, but it sublets a part of its lease-hold at a high figure. One small store in Marietta street, j between Peachtree and Broad, had its rental raised, beginning September 1. from $3,600 a year to $7,700, more than 100 per cent.

In this vigorous manner Miss Lau ra B. Merriam today denied the ru mor, circulated in connection with the announcement of the breaking of her engagement to Theron E. Catlin, of St. Louis, that she is engaged to wed an other man. Catlin is the Missouri rep resentative who was unseated by con gress at the last session. “I don t see hou any one has the nerve to question me about such a I delicate matter,” said MisS Merriam when asked why her engagement to Mr Catlin was broken. "I only wish I could tell you the real reasons for it. It was the result of a mutual agree ment between us, but I can not say more than that.” JOAQUIN MILLER TO HELP REPRODUCE ’49 DAYS AT CALIF.

The support which was noted in the market in the last half of the fore noon seemed then to be withdrawn. Steel common was supplied more freely than been for many weeks, selling down to .2'4, against 73% at the opening. Amalgamated Copper, which sold earlier in the day at 87%. fell below 86, and a decline of more than 1 point was sus tained In both Utah Copper and American -Smelting. The railroad list also was un der ftressure. The market closed heavy. Government bonds unchanged. Other bonds steady. Stock quotations: „„ „ I 1 STOCKS— IHi gh I Low. I Sale. I Bid. Id’s* Amal.
