Not satisfied with com ing down from Greenland’s icy moun tains in a roaring 42-mlle-an-hour gale and giving Atlanta a day of weather that was colder than the best he could do In 1912, winter opened U[ Tuesday morning with an even colder snap than that which boomed trade and made the coal dealer glad Mon day. At 7 o’clock Tuesday morning the mercury in the official thermometers was a trifle lower than Monday morn ing at the same hour, though the dif ference was not noticeable to the man on the street. Unless the forecaster has read his signs wrong, the cold weather will continue throughout the day. and mostly throughout December, al though there are no more winds on the weather docket like the one that swirled and roamed around Atlanta’s corners Sunday night. C. F. VonHerrmann. official w eather prognosticator, declared Tuesday that w hile every day in December will not be so cold as Monday and Tuesday, the warm days will be the exception and not the rule from now until after Christmas. Overcoats that have lain for months In the grip of the moth ball were very much in order Monday and Tuesday, and will be until after the holidays. $ Reports of unuaually cold weather all over Georgia are coming in to the office of the weather ^bureau. Macon and Augusta had freezing tempera tures Monday and Monday night, and down at Savannah they shivered at a temperature of 40 degrees. At va rious points near the Florida line the thermometers novered near the freez ing mark, although the wind was not so strong as It was in Atlanta Whitney,NotedBasso, To Sing for Y.W.C.A.

His name is Frank Harrell of the WlnecolY Hotel and he is a Patron Saint of a very special brand. Mr Harrell entertained at dinner Monday night In the rathskeller of | the \\ inecoff and the newspaper men were his guests. The dinner w r as ex quisitely served, and in saying that I there is no chanec for Mr. Harrell ever to fade from the kindly remem brance of the Fourth Estate. H is only just to add that the Fourth Estate isn’t likely to grow dim in the mem ory of Mr. Harrell The only thing that could possibly rival the quality of tlie feast was the appreciation of “the boys." If you are much acquainted with newspaper men, you know^ very well that they are not given to demon stration in excess. If they were they would succumb to twittering hys terics about once every 24 hours. On the other hand, when the time and the occasion seem ripe for a demonstration, an innocent bystander might well be pardoned for turning in a riot call. Tile time and the occasion seemed ripe in the rathskeller of the \Vinecoff Monday night. That is to say, the lid 1 cable off; the well-known welkin rang | again, and Jov was unconfined in a most astounding degree. For three J light-footed hours there were brand I new stories and twice-told tales, and yarns that never had been spun t»e- j fore, and songs, some of which prob ably never will be chanted in quite the same way again. Innts Hrown. possessing in addition j to the gift of after-dinner oratory a tine and husky physique, was elected toastmaster when Mr Harrell de clined the job. It may be remarked in passing that Mr. Brown's well- known efficiency as a referee of foot- bull games was a valuable asset. The \VInecoff Hotel was represent ed by Mr, Harrell. W. L>.

Counts Pay $400,000 To Hush Up Scandal Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian. BUDAPEST. Dee. 9.—Count Tisza. Hungarian Premier, and Count Khuen Heder Vary, formerly Premier. paid $400,000 to kill a political graft scandal W’hieh had already wrecked one minis try. Man wants but little .here below*, and usually if he can’t get what he w’ants, he will take what he can get. A story told by C. E. Jenkins, one of the clerks at the new WlnecofT, proves it: “It happened the other day,” said Jenkins. ' 1 was standing In profound meditation behind the desk, when the door opened ami dignity’s synonym walked in. He was ao exceedingly tall and pompous individual, frock coated, silk hatted, and bearing the royal stamp of PERSONAGE all over him He ra diated dignity like a Georgian* radiates pmsp« rtty. He strutted up to the desk, and I reached up into the air and shook his hand. I placed one hand in his coat lapel, a la Patrick Henry, and then he spoke, rumblingly: " ‘I am Mr. he added. ‘I an: a traveling man. but I live on the out skirts of The city. I am in a position to do your hotel a groat deal of good “ 'That’s very kind of you. I’m sure.' I said. “ ‘I understand.’ said Mr. . ‘that at your opening night you gave away very handsome souvenirs. Is that correct?* “ ‘That's right.' I sawl. “but I'm very sorry to say they &re all gone!' “ ‘That’s too bad.’ he said, ‘and I am in a position to do you a great deal of good. However, I understand that you gave away souvenirs Thanksgiving, also. Is that correct?' “ ‘They’re all gone, too. I'm sorry to say.' I replied. “ ‘Hmmmra!’ he murmured, “and I am id. a position to do you a great deal of good. Is there anything at all that you are—or- giving away at present?' “I told him I couldn’t think of any thing right on the spur of the moment, and then he spied a packet of postcards bearing a picture of the. hotel. “ ‘Are thos«- for general distribu tion?’ he asked. ‘I’d like to take a few.’ “I to'd him to help himself and he took fifty all there were on the desk. “ ‘Now.” he said, ’your stationery, that Is for general distribution also, is it not? 1 would dike some of that, for I am in a position to do your hotel a great deal of good.’ “I to’d him to help himself—and he did. He took all the paper and enve lopes there were on the desk, stuffed them into his pockets, asked me to no tify him when w f e gave away any more souvenirs, raised his hat—and was gone. ’ Cynical persons may declare that there are a lot of jokes on the Atlanta police department, hut cynics, pessi mists and optimists are off in a bunch with the assertion that Sergeant George Bullard is the prize joker of the de partment. Bullard is a quiet, fine look ing sort of person who keeps his mouth shut and his eyes and ears open, and he has a lot of dry humor in him that is prone to break out very unexpectedly. It happens that Tom Bane, who Is the turnkey on the evening watch, is al ways doing a lot of work back in the cells, and has to come on the run when ever a prisoner is brought in. For the purpose of getting some speed to the coming <>f Tom ami the other turnkeys, i there is an electric push button in the I sergeant's office. But Sergeant Bullard j didn’t think it rang loud enough, so he got a cracked cowbell and hung it on a nail. Now when he wants Bane, he I summons him with a ring that resounds j throughout the length and breadth -of , Decatur street, for a cracked cowbell j wielded by a practical Joker can turn j loose about the wierdest assortment of ! noises there are. The punch bowl which has stood for many years over the key rack at the I Piedmont Hotel has been replaced with a monster sponge, which was present ed to R. Frank Taylor, the assistant manager, by a sea-going friend. The sponge is almost as big as a wash-tub, and has caused the clerks to come in for a lot of chafing as to its purpose. Tom Needles, one of the room clerks, insists that it was placed there to ab sorb some of the hot air that he says Grady Calloway hurls at the devoted heads of the traveling public.
