ton of the house and President West

itol, and the members of the senate
and house immediately tumbled from
their dignity and proceeded to have o
good time. There .were all manner ol
good things to eat In preparation when
the party reached the ’Cue Club, but
they fell on several kegs of beer with
a vengeance and kept a score of ne
groes busy, as well as two or three
hundred glasses. Suffice It to say 1
that good cheer was rife and the mem
bers had a time of times.
After eating an abundant amount of I
Brunswick stew and barbecued lamb I
and pork, a large number of those
present, and strange t,, -ay. the most
dignified members of the house and
senate, gathered on the terrace near
the pavilion nnd for a half hour or
more Joined with great zest in sing- I
lng old-time songs.
The Jigs that were danced in the pa
vilion and the several speeches by Mr. I
Smith, of Greene, added greatly to the
entertainment of the afternoon.
The entire affair waa a great success |

WINNING OF A LOTTERY PRIZE
WAS THIS BAVARIAN'S UNDOING
By Private Leased Wire.
Nowsprleans. La., August 2—Friends
of George Leldenhelmer, of New Or
leans, have received a cablegram from
Europe, announcing Ills arrest and im
prisonment In Del Deshlm, Bavaria,
for failure to comply with the law In
regard to the military aervlce.
Leldenhelmer was- drafted for serv
ice In 1887, but not being called to
serve, emigrated from Bavaria and
came to this country, settling In New
Orleans, where he • engaged In the
trade by baking and built up a largo
business. A few months ago he had
the misfortune of winning the capital
prise In a lottery drawing. Leiden
nelmer presented the bakery to his
partner, Reuther by name, and deter
mined to return to Bavaria and spend
the rest of his life In comfort there.
CONSUMPTION AND APPENDICITIS
CLAIMING LIFE OF THIS LITTLE TOT
Little Eftle' May South, pretty 7-
year-ohl child of Mr. and Mrs. M. A.
South, who for the past three weeks
has been the pet of the doctors and
nurses of th> G-ndy hospital, Is report
ed In a critical condition with appen
dicitis and consumption.
The physicians say they have done
all possible for the little tbt and that
her death Is only a matter of a short
time. Life Is held In the little ema
ciated body only by a slender thread.
The doctors have given the parents to
understand there Is no hope.
The little girl has been 111 for the
past four months.
She developed con
sumption and later was attacked with
appendicitis. She was kept at home
under the careful ah.iltlon of her
rents until three weeks ago, when
condition reached such a serious stage
It was deemed best to place her In the
worse, and last week the frail
patient underwent a surgical opera
tion, Tho combination of afflictions,
however, has caused her to grow weak
er, and now all hope of her recovery
has been abandoned.
Sinfe being In the hospital ths child
has won the affection of the doctors
and nurses and Is a great pet with
them.
Other matters of minor importance
were discussed.

Senator J. B. Ware bears a striking
resemblance, to pictures of Horace
Oreeley.
-The "military committee" of the sen
ate is quite aa famous a constellation
of congenial good fellows as the
“Smokers' Club” of the house.
Often after the senate has adjourn
ed comes the announcement:
•'The military committee will Imme
diately assemble-"
And If you've a mind to observe you
will see a group detach Itself, form
Into nn orderly ■ body, and march out
of the capltol. Further than this we
do not propose to follow them.
Congressman Gordon Lee of the.Sev-
enth district waa at the capltol Wed
nesday and paid a visit to the senate,
of which body ho was formerly a
member.
He was questioned ae to an Inter
view a few days ago In the Chatta
nooga Times In which he stated that
the Georgia legislature Is an abler body
than the national house of representa
tives. He acknowledged the corn.
"I did say it, but didn’t think that
newepaper chap would quote me. I
do think that the Georgia general as-
aembly Is a very able body of men,
nnd la doing some fine work.”

"The senate ought to be abolished,'
