XL Mrs. Minnie Leo Lane Freeman, girl detective, who forsook career to become a bride. Atlanta Woman Detective Chief Sighs as Cupid Depeites Her Force. • - When a fatal love dart plowed its way into the heart of Miss Minnie Lee Lane, girl detective, it killed the lure of sleuthing, causing her at the cru cial moment to abandon a spectacular pursuit of a woman shoplifter and al low the quarry to escape. But today Miss Lane doesn’t care the snap, of a linger if she did, for the girl detective was wedded last night to W. F. Freeman, bookkeeper in the offices of the Southern railway—the man who came between her and her chosen life profession. She has entered into the game of matrimony with greater en thusiasm than she ever experienced in tracking evil doers. “The call of the heart is stronger than the fascination of sleuthing, and I’ve quit for good and all—the quiet homelife and the frying pan appeal to me now as never before,” laughingly re marked the bride today. Charm of Chase Eclipsed. Miss Lane and Mr, Freeman met a short time ago in a nearby town, while the gijl detective was “shadowing” a woman shoplifter, and it was a severe and incurable attack of love at first sight. The charm of the chase imme diately vanished, and a new vision opened before the “shadower” —love de throned her professional ambition. Packing her suitcase, Miss Lane abandoned the trdil of the shoplifter, and boardeji a fast train for Atlanta. She at once reported to Mrs. Hattie Barnett, Atlanta’s woman detective, un der whom she has been in training, that she was in love, that the “jig was up.” and that, instead of-seeking shoplift ers and crooks, she intended to enjoy a new happiness of heart. That she. meant just what she said was demonstrated last night when, just at the close of the evening service, Miss Lane and Mr. Freeman stood before the altar in the Central Baptist church and were married by Rev. Richard A. For est, superintendent of the Toccoa Falls institute, who is filling the pulpit in the absence of the pastor, Dr. Ridley. ‘‘Life Shadow” Now. As the wedding party left the church, the bride smiled on the bridegroom and said: "I've got someone else to watch now. I guess I've become a life shadow." "That’s right, I’ll have an eagle eye on me all the time now," chuckled the bridegroom, "but I think 111 like the sensation.” Mrs. Barnett. Miss Lane's tutor, is the only one of her friends who feels a pang of regret at the marriage. “Love is the arch enemy of the wom an detective business.” remarked Mrs. Barnett disconsolately. "Whenever love crosses the path of a womafi detective it's all off. Business goes to the winds. That’s why there are no more women detectives. They can’t resist the plead ings of the heart.” AVERAGE WEEKLY WAGE OF INDIANA MINERS $11.85 INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. 9.—Eleven dol lars and eighty-five cents was the av erage weekly wage of the 21,230 coal miners in Indiana last year, according to the annual report of Frank I. Pearce, state mine Inspector. Thirty-seven miners were killed dur ing the year, an unusually small num ber compared with other years. I DIES SAYING PRAYER IN THANKS FOR LONG LIFE LONDON, Dee. 9.

DECEMBER 9. 1912. Up and Down Peachtree Leaves His Coin Where Slot Machine Used To Be. “ ’T was a chilly wintry evening and a goodly throng was there”—just add the rest of the stanza of ‘‘The Face on the Bar Room Floor” and you’ll have the scene fairly accurately, from the sand on the floor to the white-aproned person be fore the mirror. And, true to form, the stranger en tered. Here you'll have to desert the tragic epic of paint and nose paint. The stranger made no dramatic appeal for grog nor was he greeted with hideous hoots by the merrymakers. He merely meandered back to the place where a few brief days ago persons played slot machines and slot machines played on them. The machines were missing He turned to the bartender. He said no word, but his eyes asked his ques tion eloquently. The bartender shook his head. “Gone, gone,” he muttered. "The council’s put ’em out of business.” No word of complaint was uttered by the stranger, but digging deep into his pocket he produced a nickel. He placed the coin where the machine should, or rather, should not, have been, and once more turned to the door. “Want a beer?” asked the beer man. The stranger shook his head and con tinued his progress to the sidewalk. “That’s all right, as far as it goes,” said a patron. “He didn’t go far enough though. If he wanted to run true to form he ought to have left at least a dol lar and a half.” 20.000 NAVY YARD MEN UNDER CIVIL SERVICE WASHINGTON, Dec. 7. —President Taft has signed a proclamation plac ing 20,090 skilled employees in the United States navy yards under civil service.

Millard, pastor of the Jackson Hill Baptist church and for mer pastor of the Ponce DeLeon Avenue Baptist church, died suddenly at his home on the Oakdale road last night from an apoplectic stroke. 9 After preaching a short sermon to the Jackson Hill congregation Sunday morning and raising $3.000 to pay off the church debt, Dr. Millard went to his home. He complained of feeling unwell. At 3 o’clock he was stricken with apoplexy and died at midnight. Dr. Millard's active church work in Atlanta extended over a period of eight years. He was called to the Ponce De- Leon Baptist church when that insti tution was organized and remained at its he id for five years. Failing health caused him to, resign his charge and he spent a year in Europe and the Holy Land, returning refreshed. After a year here, part of which he spent as supply minister, he assumed the pastorate of the Jackson Mill church. Which he held up to the time of his death. Dr. Millard's sermon Sunday will not be forgotten by the members of the Jackson Hill congregation. He spoke to them briefly and in closing urged the church to remove its debt and start the New Year with a clean slate. He sud denly announced that he was going to take up a collection to obtain $2,400, the amount of the debt. The congrega tion, under the spell of his sermon, raised $3,000. Dr. Millard was born in Goldsboro, N. C., 44 years ago. He was graduated from Wake Forest college and took his doctor’s degree at the Southern Baptist Theological seminary. His first impor tant charge was the Utaw Place Bap tist church in Baltimore. He left Bal timore to come to Atlanta. He is survived by his wife, two chil dren, J. W, Millard. Jr., and Miss Laura Millard; one brother, Dr. David P. Millard, and five sisters, none of whom lives in Atlanta. The funeral arrangements have not been completed. NATION CAN’T EXIST WITHOUT CHRISTIAN SPIRIT, SAYS HILL WARREN, MINN., Dec. 9.—“ No na tion can exist without true Christian spirit behind it,” declared James J. Hill, the pioneer railway magnate of the Northwest, in a speech delivered at the dedication of the new $50,000 building for North Star college. A large crowd was present for the exercises, which took place last night, and Mr. Hill delivered the principal ad dress, which partook of the nature of a sermon. He told the story of the creation, and delivered strong arguments in favor of Christianity. Mr. Hill concluded by de claring that laws which forbid the teaching of Christianity in schools are the weakest things in our government He declared he hoped to live to see the decalogue in every school room. WEALTHY VICTIMS OF BOOK FRAUDS TO TELL OF SWINDLE IN COURT BOSTON, Dec. 9.—Rich victims of de luxe book and art w’orks frauds, which are being investigated by the Netv England and Federal authorities, will have to appear before a Federal judge and tell how easily they were swindled.

Os these, thirteen were women, who lost $400,000, and the other eight were men w’ho W’ere mulcted of $406,000, the in vestigation showing apparently that the men were more gullible than the women.

SEARCHING SIDELIGHTS ON GEORGIA POLITICS By JAMES B. NEVIN. Jacksonville, the very wettest oasis in the prohibition South, has accumu lated a large and rampant grouch on JHI Savannah. Jacksonville is likewise mighty solicitous for Sa vannah’s moral welfare, not to mention its ram pant anxiety that Savannah shall be a law-abiding mu nicipality and ut terly free from guile. The Florida city, which boasts four times as many In habitants in win ter as it admits in summer, has heard that Savannah pays powerful lit- tle attention to the prohibition laws of Georgia, and that shipments of "booze from that city to other points in crea tion are not infrequent, and around and about Christmas times some ship ments, at that! The effect of this revelation on Jack sonville has been marked —in two di rections. It rages that Savannah is cutting into Jacksonville’s business in that fashion, and it grieves that Savan nah is not a law-abiding town! Wherefore divers and sundry citizens of Jacksonville have petitioned the Federal authorities —or say they are going to petition them —to make Sa vannah behave herself, both in her loose methods of competition in the “booze” business and in her morals. The Savannah News, regarding Jack sonville’s attitude more or less face tiously, says: If the petition of the Jackson ville dealers to stop shipments of liquor from points in Georgia should be granted perhaps this in turn might be followed by Federal legislation prohibiting shipments of intoxicating liquor into Georgia. Then if the legislature should re peal the near-beer law this good old state-would be squarely on the water wagon. And the season for cane and persimmon’beer will soon be over. Jacksonville’s deep solicitude for Sa vannah is touching enough, to be sure— even if Savannah does effect to “smile, and smile, and be a villain still.” It is doubtful, however, whether the Georgia legislature will accept Savan nah’s half whimsical, half bantering, hint, contained in next to the last sen tence of The News’ paragraph quoted. Robert M. Hitch, of the Second con gressional district, has let it be known to numerous friends that he will be an applicant for the position of United States district attorney for south Geor gia before President Woodrow Wilson. Mr. Hitch was chairman of the state Democratic executive committee for two years, presidential elector four years ago. and is now chairman of the Second district executive committee. He will have strong and Influential AUTO WRECKED AS TEAM RUNS AWAY WITH HEAVY TRUCK Mrs. Henry Schaul, of 5 East Four teenth street, and several friends with her on an early shopping expedition today, had a narrow’ escape from acci dent when a heavy wagon crashed into their motor car in Whitehall street. The party had just left the car, which was standing at the curb with a ne gro chauffeur at the yheel, when a teain attached to a heavy lithia water wagon became frightened and ran away k from the driver, who was inside a drug store. The wagon struck the fender of the car, cutting the steel in two and bat tering the car. The pole and gear were torn from under the wagon by the shock. Nobody was injured. SHOWS PHOTOS OF MEN OF 15,000.000 YEARS AGO ST. LOUIS, Dec. 9.—Dr. Samuel Wendell Williston, professor of paleon thology of the University of Chicago, startled an audience that packed the assembly room of the Second Baptist church by displaying photographs pur porting to show our pre-historic an cestors of 15,000,000 years ago. Dr. Williston not only exhibited pic tures of actual skeletons, but also showed representations of the animals in life. ‘■JOY TRAIN” ON ROAD.

FLOWERS and FLORAL DESIGNS. ATLANTA FLORAL CO., Both Phones Number 4. 41 Peachtree. MdvertlaeiminL) backing for the job, which is now held by Walter Akerman, of Macon. Some statesmen in Georgia are be ginning to think that instead of creat ing new counties in this state here after, the legislature might better com bine some of the smaller ones, and thus reduce the total number, rather than enlarge it, as has been the custom of lute years. There are in Georgia fifteen counties of less than 209 square miles in area. Four of these actually are under 150 square miles. Glascock, the smallest county In the state, is less than 100. Alabama limits the size of its coun tles—and there, no matter how few counties the state may contain, it can never run over a fixed maximum. A great many citizens think a small er, and not a larger, legislature would work to this state’s very material bene fit. Judge W. M. Henry, of Rome, former representative in the legislature and judge of the superior court, is an At lanta visitor. "Twenty-six years ago last Friday,” said the judge, "Georgia saw the big gest snow storm anybody now living can remember. I was in Atlanta when the snow came, and I tried to get to my home, which then was in Summerville, in Chattooga county. The snow was so heavy on the W. & A. tracks that soon after reaching Kennesaw—then known as Big Shanty—we had to get another engine. And when we got to Kingston and I tried to change cars for Rome I found the old Rome railroad completely out of business—it actually was burled beneath twenty Inches of snow! "That seems Incredible, but it is ab solute true. There never was such a snow storm in this country. I had to come back to Atlanta, after proceeding to Kingston at a snail’s pace—and I was prett}’ sore, and mad. and cold, and I guess I used some rather obstreperous language. For a week following that 'white Friday’ in December. 1886, this section was buried beneath twp feet of snow, and some of it remained on the ground, in partially protected drifts, until well up Into April.” Judge Henry is practicing law now adays, and has retired from politics. Colonel O. B, Stevens, former com missioner of agriculture, who has been reported a candidate against Commis sioner J. J. Conner for director of the Georgia experiment station in Griffin, which highly desirable job is to be va cated by Hon. Martin V. Calvin next summer, does not say that he would not take the office If it were tendered him, but he does say that he is not a candidate for the place, and has not authorized the use of his name in that connection. ”1 am of the opinion,” says Colonel Stevens, “that the board of directors of the experiment station Is competent to select a successor to Mr. Calvin, with out advice or suggestion from me. And, so far as I am concerned, this shall be permitted to do so. It is peculiarly not a place that should be juggled for, or that any man should be log-rolled into.” The scintillating highbrow who pre sides over this department of uplift in The Georgian has been watching and waiting, more or less in vain, these many days, for somebody to say some thing pleasant about his new picture, the which adorns—or something—the getaway of this column daily, but for the most part disappointment has been his bitter portion. However, from out numerous frater nal suggestions, anent the likeness aforesaid, he has selected the folio-wing from The Dalton Citizen, as the nearest approach to approval and compliment the divers and sundry exhibits afford: His profile picture now appearing in hfs “Searching Sidelights” makes him look like Champ Clark. One might look (and perform) very much worse than Mr. Champ Clark!
