WASHINGTON, Dec 22. A repri mand for the officers involved In th«* Carabao dinner incident was ap proved to-day by President Wilson. He took this action on recommen dation of Secretary of War Garrison and Secretary of the Navy Daniels. His letter to the two Secretaries fol lows. My Dear Sirs—Allow me to thank you for your report on the action of certain officers of the army and navy at the recent din ner of the military order of the < ’arabao. The officers who were respon sible for the program of the evening are certainly deserving of a very serious reprimand, which I hereby request be admin Istereri; and I can not rid myself of a feeling of great disappoint ment that the general body of officers assembled at the dinrjei should have greeted the carrying out of such a program with apparent indifference to the fact that It violated some of the most dignified and sacred traditions of the service. I am told that Ihe songs and other amusements of the evening were intended and regarded as "fun.” What are we to thieik of officers of the army and navy of the I’nited States who think it “fun" to bring their official su periors Into ridicule and the poli cies of the Government, which they are sworn to serve, with un questioning loyalty. Into con tempt? If this is their idea, of . fun, what is their idea of duty? If they do not hold their loyalty above all Hilly effervescences of childish wit, what about their profession do they hold sacred? My purpose, therefore. In ad ministering this reprimand is to recall the men who are respon sible for this lowering of stand ards to their ideal; to remind them of the high conscience with which they ought to put duty above personal indulgence and conduct themselves as responsible men and trusted soldiers, even while they are amusing them selves as diners out. T. L. Sims, Veteran Of Wheeler's, Dead Wheeler's Cavalry lost a loyal member in the death of Thomas H. Sims at his residence. No. 292 North Jackson street, at 10:30 o’clock Sun day night. Mr. Sims had been In good health until a few days ago and his death was unexpected Mr. Sims was 75 years old and was a native of Gumming, Forsyth Coun ty, Georgia. He came to Atlanta aft er the war, having served four years with Wheeler’s Cavalry. He Is sur vived by his wife, a brother, five sons and five daughters The brother Is George E Sim*, of Gainesville, and the five sons. George Hallman Sims. A. H. Sims, S. R. Sims and M. C. Sims, of Atlanta, and F. J. Sims, of New Orleans. The daughters are Mrs. R. H. I/O gun, of Washington; Mrs. A R. Hightower, Mrs R. C. Tassels and Miss Ruth and Grace Sims, of At lanta. Funeral services will be held at the residence at 10:30 o'clock Tuesday morning. M. R. Stephenson, one of the leading citizens of Conyers, Ga., died at the home of his son, T. R. Stephenson, No. 121 Broyles street, early Mon day. Mr. Stephenson was eighty- seven years old. He was visiting his son. The body will be taken to Conyers for funeral and Interment. Surviving are seven sons. J. C. Ste phenson, of Decatur; J. J Stephen son, of Rockdale County; T. R. Ste phenson. of Atlanta; B. F. Stephen son. of Llthonia; R. and J. E. Ste phenson. of Atlanta, and three daughters, Mrs. Ed Robinson, of Covington; Mrs. Annie Park, of Li- thonla, and Mrs. Lizzie Evans, of Llthonia. John R. Simpson, forty-one years old, died at a private sanitarium Mon day. The body was removed to Har ry G. Poole's and will be taken to Newnan for funeral and Interment. Of course it is too early in the par cel post regime to talk about break ing records. There aren’t any par ticular records, yet. But It looked like the setting of one Monday morn ing, when It was announced at the superintendent's office in the Federal Building that about 50,000 parcels would be handled out of Atlanta be fore the day's work was done Bolling Jones, postmaster, started his day s work soon after 5 o’clock Monday morning “I have to get on the job early,” he said. "We’re just managing to keep up with the game, with a cou ple of Hundred extra employees, and I must say the public Is doing its share nobly. It !s a pleasure to work and plan for people who co-operate with us 4he way the Atlanta public is doing In this tremendous rush.” Nobody Minds Jam. Then Mr. Jones wanted to know if it didn't look like a jolly, happy bunch that packed the big lobby It did. There was a terrific jam. nobody seemed to mind it a bit Rows of weighers and sealers and stampers and tiers and information mnn and general helpers looked after the crowd, and the crowd formed readily and pleasantly Into lines, and each took his turn, and refrained from shoving, with a delightful evidence of the real old Christmas spirit. There were eight stamp windows in full blast. A like number of weigh ing machines, operated by clerks with the rate hooks spread out before them, supplied the needful informa tion to men and women and children with great armfuls of bundles and packages, piled up like stove wood, and blazing with Red Cross seals and gay Christmas stickers Mail Pouring Into Atlanta. At another line of tables the parcel post insurance tags were attached to valuable parcels—and a lot of them seemed to be valuable, too. Five and 10 cents was the tax. and it covered the delivery of a parcel very much like the registry feature of an im portant or valuable letter. “Forty to fifty thousand parcels going out to-day,” Mr. Jones said, “and nearly that many coming in. That gives a hint of the volume of business passing through this office. “As to t lie incoming Christmas mail—well, we got five solid cars in last night; cars crammed to the roof with packages and not a clerk In side. no room for any. The cars were sealed and rushed straight straight through to Atlanta to be ‘worked’ here.” But it was all merry Christmas Work, in spite'of the hurry and the rush, and everybody seemed to be in the best possible humor, including Mr. Jones, not even considering that he had got up at 5 o'clock in the morning.

Because of the idleness of thousands of men In Chi cago and the consequent Inability of teamsters to buy good feed for their teams, the Anti-Cruelty Society will * serve a sumptuous dinner to all horses ! whose owners can not afford to give their animals a treat Members of the congregation of the Rev. Allen Shuler, of the East Side Tabernacle, were commenting Mon day on the forceful sermon he deliv ered Sunday night on “child slavery ’ carried on by the capitalistic c lass. “That the working class as a whole is suffering oppression at the hands of wealth and greed Is admitted ev erywhere.” he said. “That the war is on—class against class—is con ceded on every side. Amid all the strife and turmoil, the oppression and the greed, what should be the mes sage of the church? "Let God speak. To the man of wealth and power He says; ‘Thou shalt not press down upon the weak burdens too heavy to bear.’ " Quit Gum and Rum And Build Warships, Is Advice of Maxim NEW YORK, Dec. 22.—“The $30,- 000,000 spent yearly in the United States for chewing gum would pay for three dreadnoughts and the $2.- 000,000,000 contributed annually to John Barleycorn would pay for 200 battleships." Hudson Maxim suggested this novel means of supplying a greater navy in an address delivered to-day at the "Peace” services in the New York Theater. The only way to prevent war, Mr Maxim said, was to be ready for it. He declared that if Spain and the United States had been a little better prepared there would have been no war in 1898. Modern weapons contributed to peace, he said. "The machine gun is a labor-saving machine,” said Mr. Maxim. “It makes possible in case of war that nineteen men should stay at home to do pro ductive labor where twenty once had to go.” Collector Blalock Off on Fishing Trip A.

Three Men Carried Into Stream With Wreck Miraculously Escape Death. AUGUSTA. GA., Dec. 22.—Two passenger engines and four freight tars are in the Savannah River and three men are badly bruised and in jured otherwise because of an acci dent on the Southern Railway trestle here at 5 o’clock Monday morning when two engines ran into twenty freight cars. There was no light on the freight cars, according to C. C. Forbes, hos tler for the Southern Railway, who was bringing two passenger engines from the Hamburg yards to the Union Depot to be started out on morning trains to Columbia and Charleston. The two heavy engines struck the freight cars on the first span to the north of the new lift draw, which the Southern installed several months ago, and the entire draw was shaken loose and both of the engines and four of the freight cars which were on that draw went down with a crash to the bottom of the river. Forbes and Jimmie Bryant, a call- hoy, were on one of the engines and Bert Corbett, a negro helper, was on the other. When the engines struck the freight cars, the entire trestle seemed to reel and then there was a slight apparent hesitation. then freight cars and engines went down in a heap to the water. Forbes and Bryant had the pres ence of mind to hold their breaths while under the water and managed to climb out on top of the cab and onto some wreckage. Corbett’s en gine was not completely submerged because it fell on a jetty. All three were badly brui sed. Their escape from death was miraculous. All Southern trains will have to run to Hamburg instead of coming Into the Union Station until the tres tle is repaired.

With just $25,000 left to go before the quarter-million mark is reacnew the Oglethorpe committees restej on their arms Monday morning. "Now. watch Ihe heavyweights mu it over," said the tired but hapm chairmen. "Heavyweights” meant Captain Jas W. English and his associates on the executive committee—Ivan E. Alien and that class of accomplished and powerful pleader for anything thar will be for the good of Atlanta. The noonday luncheons were over and one. The recording chalk had made Its last figure on the big black: board. The friendly rivalry among the working committees had ended in a fraternal hand-clasp and the forma tion of an Oglethorpe University So ciety, pledged through life to work and pray for Oglethorpe. It was "up to the heavyweights.” And Captain English and his aides smiled a little Monday morning, much as if they knew a good deal more than they were telling, as they said: “Just a little time, gentlemen: don't hurry us. You’ve had three weeks and you've done wonders. Givp us our little inning now, and let us come to bat in our own order. We'll h:t the ball, and hit it hard—never fear!" So the younger men laughed and went on about their ordinary dally business, just as if they hadn’t put over the biggest thing of the kind that Atlanta or the South ever had undertaken. They had confidence in the “heavy weights.” They knew the "heavy weights” would "put it over.” BUSINESS NOTICE. To Cure a Cold in One Day Take LAXATIVE BROMO QUININE Tablets.
