Damage Already Reaches Into
Millions—Golf Links Are Pro
tected Against Loss.
LONDON. May 12. -Inquiries insti
tuted at Lloyd's have developed the
fac t that the insurance companies ate
reaping a golden harvest as a result
sufrtflagette depredations. Busi
ness has received a great impetus
yfboth from the insurance of golf links
, as well as from Are risks.
Numerous golf clubs have insured
against revenue losses as the result of,
militant interference, while others
have taken out policies insuring golf
greens against damage by suffra
gettes. The premiums charged are $5
per green per annum, the limit of the
/ nderwriters’ liability being $250 on
ich green.
These insurances, however. wer«
mostly for three months, because i*
is believed that the trouble will be
settled in that time either by a tri
umph of the militants or t>;’ the sup
pression of their campaign.
Insurance against Are has be-;u
equally brisk, but owing to the great
competition in this business rates
have not been affected.
Damage to Date $5,000,000.
Estimates of the financial loss
caused by suffragette outrages, pre
pared for the Home Secretary, put the
amount as $5,000,000. This sum does
not include the expense of employing
large numbers of extra police, detec
tives and watchmen to protect Minis
ters. public buildings and meetings.
Three detectives have been assigned
to protect each Cabinet Minister at all
times. All suspected persons are shad
owed by plainclothes men and all pub
lic buildings are under special guard.
Since the defeat of the woman suf
frage bill large numbers of former
constitutional suffragists have joined
the militant movement. An attack on
the House of Lords is one of the new
plans, and this is to be accomplished
by means of a suffragette typist who
< ould get a position on the reporting
ptaff of the upper house.
Arrests Check Riots.
' In spite of the sensational outrages
«*f the past week and although the
militants are keeping up a strong
b’uff. their organization has been
shaken by recent arrests of leaders.
The militant acts now being commit
ted are the handiwork of suffragettes
working independently, and the au
thorities believe that the removing of
fthe central controlling influences will
soon break up the campaign of de
struction.
This optimistic view is not shared
by politicians generally, who believe
that as long as money is forthcoming
crimes will be committed.
Militants Start Week
By Burning Boat Club.
LONDON, May 12.—Another week
of violence was to-day ushered in by
suffragettes. Militant women burned
t h® building of the Nottingham Boat
Glvib, damaging a nupiber of boats.
The loss is estimated at $10,000.
The police found evidences of in
cendiarism. A copy of the official
organ of the Women’s Social and Po
litical Union, The Suffragette, was
discovered near by.
Health a Factor in Success.
The largest factor contributing to
\a man's success is undoubtedly
health. It has been observed that a
i man is seldom sick when his bowels
j are regular—he is never well when
j they are constipated. For constJpa-
t 'ion vou nil! find nothing quite so

Came Warden Plans
‘Transplanting' Quail
Birds Trapped Where They’re Plenti
ful- Will Be Turned Loose in Coun
ties Where There Are Few.
State Garde Warden Jesse E. Mer
cer Monday took up the ’•transplant
ing" of quail as his latest activity.
He hit upon the novel scheme as a
, means of equalizing the distribution
> of partridges through the State. In
«ome counties there arc few of the
birds. From others complaints are
pouring into the game warden's of-
fice that quail are pulling up corn
almost as rapidly as it is planted.
When he found in his mail Monday
morning a letter signed b> three
farmers from Seville, Wilcox County,
who said they had been compelled to
make three plantings of corn because
J of voracious quail. Mr Mercer at once
f dictated a letter giving them permis-
J sion to trap as many as they wished.
4 “Trap them." he said, “and I shall
take them to other parts of the
State."

White City Park Now Open
Oh, Joy! Ice Wagon
Really Turns Over.
Out in West End the ion wagons
which ply that thriving section for
trade usually are followed about
from street to street by children who
are looking for small bits of the con
gealed moisture when chipped off by
the icemen. The drivers of these
wagons seem to be on the job from
season to season and come to know
all the children hv name.
Several days ago, when the weath
er was rather warm, a joyous ca
tastrophe happened on Culberson
Street. One of the big wagons was
on the street when the mules attach
ed to it became frightened at a piece
of paper which was fluttered about
under their noses by a sudden gust
of wind. The mules bolted.
Down the street they tore at break
neck speed. Then one of the wheels
hit an electric wire pole and the
wagon promptly turned over, break
ing the wagon tongue and strewing
the street with big cakes of ice. The
children viewed the affair with
squeals of delight. Not only had
they been treated to a sure enough
runaway, hut here was enough ice
On the ground to make their little
tummies cool for a week.
So down they swooped on the
wreckage. They were met by one
of the icemen who politely but firm
ly informed the kiddies there was
nothing doing. The ice, he said,
still belonged to the company and
he'd protect it with his life. That
started something The children
surrounded him and filched bits of
•ice when he wasn’t looking. T{ie
driver had gone to a nearby tele
phone to have another wagon sent
out to carry off the remains of the
load.
The man on guard had his hands
full and realizing he was no match
for the horde of youngsters, he bar
gained with them. Everybody got
a big chunk of ice provided they’d
promise to go 'way and let the rest
of it alone. And the fiddles kept
their promise.

Wore a Flower
For Mother’s Sake.
It was Mothers’ Day in Atlanta,
and all over the country, yesterday
and lots of men wore a white flower
for mother's sake. Many of the At
lanta florists anticipated a demand
for flowers and laid in a big supply
of white carnations.
For a long time in Atlanta men
didn't like to wear flowers. The
only explanation is that they might
be taken for weaklings; the habit,
they figured, was one for women, not
men. There is one man in the city,
however, who for thirty years has
always worn a little buttonhole
bouquet, summer and winter.
He is the confidential man for one
of th* big drygoods concerns and al
though he celebrated his seventy-sec-
onth birthday yesterday—he is as
straight and active as a man of half
that age. He is passionately fond
of flowers and if he were to be with
out his little bouttonniere it is like
ly that the day would seem all wrong
to him. His wife has made it her
special duty to see that his bouquet
is ready each morning, usually plac
ing i; beside his plate at breakfast.
His bouquet yesterday was a beau
tiful white carnation, a little token of
love for the old mother who died a
good many years ag" in Ireland.

Styles.

ton. Ga., where he preached yester
day to a former congregation. He will
go to Atlanta Wednesday.

clause will not be an issue with us.
as our doctrine is that every infant
dying in infancy is saved. Our ques
tions will be mostly administrative
and constructive.
"We shall consider the increase of
missionary efforts, enlarging the scope
of the college work, larger endow
ments for colleges, ministerial relief,
extension of the home mission work
and establishing and building new
churches.
"This year we plan to raise a $10.-
000,000 permanent endowment for

at least $500 to $600 a year, and that

gave me little encouragement. I was
having terrible night sweats and mid
day chills and losing flesh rapidly,
having gone from ! 55 to 135 pounds.
I coughed and raised continually and
became so weak that walking a few
feet exhausted me. My father, who
is a clergyman, heard of Eckman s
Alterative and induced me to take it.
The night sweats and chills disap
peared. my cough became easier and
gradually diminished and in a few
days I developed an appetite, the first
in months. 1 am now in perfect
health, back to 155 pounds. I feel
certain that I owe my life to Eck-
