Who’ll Help the Doctor
Translate Confederacy?
Dr. P. W. Douglas, the lecturer at
the cyclorama at Grant park, is per
plexed. even discouraged, at his work.-
The thou amis who have heard him
tell the wonderful story of tin battle
of Atlanta as they looked at the pic
ture in the cyclorama have been im
pressed with his eloquence. Dr. Doug
las himself was satisfied and enthused
with his effort for a long time. But
’ now he feels dejected, for, to his own
sensibilities, that speech lacks a classic
peroration, and lie has as yet been un
able to master the words of charm.
When he has completed the story o£
the heroic fight of the Confederates,
1 the retreats of the Yankees and then
the final ignominious defeat of Hood’s
men. he always ends his talk with the
phrase:
, “Thus passes Hie glory of the Con
federacy."
Dr. Douglas lias decided that tilis
phrase lacks “punch,” and that It should
• be quoted in Latin, and there’s the
rub. He knows the first part- "Sic
i transit gloria" but he can't adapt the
■ word Confederacy to the Latin.
i His artistic sense is sorely wounded
■ and he has been compelled to make bis
I appeal general for the magic word to
; complete tlm bewitching phrase.

CHAUFFEUR, IIELD
FOR DEATH, GOKE
Negro Driver Believed to Have
“Escaped” on a Small Su
persedeas Bond.
Court officials ar- searching today
for Ed Hayes, a negro chauffeur who
ran down and killed a young woman in
Gordon street a year ago, and who has
disappeared after making SI,OOO bond.
They have followed several false trails
and now believe Hayes will be added
to the list of “escapes.”
The disappearance of the negro is
another case where the granting of a
small “supersedeas” bond pending a
! second trial has resulted in the escape
of a defendant. Attaches of the sher
iff’s force are preparing to declare the
SI,OOO bond forfeited. It was put up
' for the negro by J. M. Noil and Lucius
' Hayes.
Haye- was convict, d of Involuntary
manslaughter and sentenced to three

’ Edwards, acting for Judge Roan,, de
clined to g'ant a new trial and ordered
the negro brought before him to be re
sentenced, the defendant had disap
peared. He has not been seen since.
The case follows on the heels of that

similar bond whloh never had been au
thorized by the court. Wren is In a

SHROOERFOUGHT
Georgian Held in Oregon as
Wife Deserter Seeks to
Escape Trial.
Governor Brown has agreed to hea ■
objections Monday morning to the
granting of a requisition on the govern
or of Oregon for John H. Shroder, of
Savannah, wanted on a charge of deser
tion brought by his wile, Annie Shro
der.
Shroder went to Reno Nev., two
years ago, ostensibly because of 111
health, but really, so his wife thinks, in
order that he might bring suit against
her for divorce. At any rate. Shroder
did bring divorce proceedings several
months ago, anil a tew days ago his
1 wife lodged charges .of desertion of
herself and one child against Shroder,
and asked that he be brought back to
Georgia on requisition.
Some of Shroder’s Savannah relatives
think It Is being brought to bring him
back to Georgia merely that alimony
proceedings may be instituted against
him. and that there is no sincerity in
the charge of desertion.
The governor lias agreed to hear the
arguments resisting tile requisition at
1 10:30 Monday morning.
