™ 'll •!' THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN. KATT’RDAY. ArnPBT i. 1908. I' . “The Faithful Few” "There were a few com panies and a few men who Kept the faith, who fought, against overwhelming odds, bis (Hyde’s) demoralising innovations, and whq main tained the old ideals until the end. Only three com panies kept themselves en tirely free from ‘tontine’: the Mutual Benefit of New Jersey, the Connecticut Mu tual of Hartford and the Provident Life and Trust of Philadelphia. How bravely these opponents struggled; what they suffered; how they had to wait, for their complete Justification, until this year of grace 1906—this story will be told in the suc ceeding article.’’—The story of Life Insurance by Burton J.

Special to The Georgian. Paris, Aug. 4.—One of the strange results of the findings of the supreme court In the Dreyfus affair is the ho or being paid to the reputations men who fought In this lamentable business nnd who have since died the intervening years. A bill has Just been passed In the chamber of dcpu ties authorizing the transfer of the remains of the novelist Emile Zola the Pantheon. Emile Zola, by the publication of his open letter to the president of the republic, "J'accuse,'* on January 18, 1898, and by his per. slstent advocacy of the cause of Drey, fus, suffered much pioral and am. terial damage. The municipal coun ell on their side, have Just decided name a Paris street after Zola. M other whose memory was undeserv edly besmirched was M. Scheurer-Kest. ner, vice president of the senate, who Interceded for Dreyfus In 1897. Busts of him and of M. Tratleuz. another senator who fought In the affair, are now to bo placed In the lobby of the senate. ‘GOODBYE, LITTLE GIRL, GOODBYE,’’ SANG FIFTH REGIMENT SOLDIERS AS THEY LEFT FOR CHICKAMAUGA Interesting discoveries have been made In the Vatican during an examt nation of the building, which Is show, ing signs of iltM.u. A secret prison has been found between the garret and the roof, of the Blstlne chapel. These cells, which resemble the famous Plombl of Venice, are supposed have been a place of confinement for recalcitrant cardinals and other high ecclesiastics who offended the pope ‘ olden times. Through long disuse the situation the prison had been forgotten, but is known that such cells existed, and that one or two cardinals died In them. They are not exactly luxurious, and decidedly cramped In’ else. Wall decorations by Giovanni da In the matter of J Levin, Bankrupt Under order of Hon. P. H.

New Cuban Mayor Elected. By Private Leased Wire. Havana, Aug. 4.—The new Ayunta- mlento has sleeted as mayor Julio Car denas, the candidate of the government. Seven moderate councllmen In conse quence have resigned. President Pal ma, however, expresses great satisfac tion. Udine and Plerln del Verga have been found under many coats of whitewash In some of the apartmenta of the Vati can, having been hidden for centuries. It Is certain that the apostolic palace, which dates from the fifteenth century, will have to be entirely reconstructed. Most of the walls, Internal and ex ternal, are In a dangerous state through the successive alterations and add! tlons made by various popes. Two members of the French Yacht Club have Just left here In an auto boat, which they call the "He Dee Loups,” a 35-horsepower 10-ton boat, their objective being Constansa, Roumanla. The total distance 4,000 kilometres, 146 of them by sea, and on their voyage they will traverse east of France, Germany, Austria, Hungary, Servla, Roumanla and Bul garia. These gentlemen, Messrs. Oflla and Stock, take their wlvee with them and two children. Countess Bonl da Castellane manifesting great Impatience to have her divorce terminated. Her counsel has succeeded In having the case en tered upon the role of the first cham berofthe tribunal with the result that it will come up almost Immediately In stead of In several months as has been anticipated. Mautre Cruppl appealed to the court to have the hearing come off as soon os possible. Friends of the family, on being questioned as to the reason of this haste, say that,the countess’ health Is giving way under the strain and they are anxious to get her away on a long cruise to restore her unsettled nerves. It Is noticeable that In the majority of cases the cars are badly emaehed, necessitating expensive repalr*''(upon which generally the chauffeurs get commissions). The frequency of the accidents leads the authorities to think there le some put up Job between the chauffeurs and automobile supply agents. When the accidents turn out fatally, or the chauffeur Is seriously In jured, It Is apt to be because he mis calculated the force of the accident. RACE FOR SENATOR IS AGAINST DEATH By Private Leased Wire. Washington, Aug. 4.—"The race for the succession to the United Slates senate from our state Is a unique spec, tacle In American politics,” said Cap tain Milton Humes, of Huntsville, Ala., at the'Raleigh. "The term of Senator Morgan will expire In March, 1907, and of Senator Pettus In March, 1909. Probably no man In Alabama could supersede them If he were to make the fight, and the contest now on Is to secure an Indorsement for the succes sion In the event either of these dls tlngulshed. patriarchs should pass away before the legislature convehes In regular session after Its forthcom ing session. , , . . "It presents a strange spectacle, but ... view of the advanced years of both the present senators and the long pe riod between the sessions of the state legislature there seemd probably no other way out of the question.'
