The cost of Baltimore and Ohio to Its tew ow ners remains largely a matter of conjecture. One guess was that It In volved an expenditure of approximate ly 1120,000,000, but this figure waa con- ndered altogether too high for the rca- inn, among others, that control of the lyitem, the Pennsylvania belng frlend- ly. could be effected by the possession of much less than a majority of the nock.

(Copyright, 1906, by Hearst News Service.) London, 'Sept. 19.—Various rumors are current regarding the unsatisfacto ry state of Princess Victoria’s health, and all the circumstances seem' to in dicate that the trouble Is mental. It Is. reported that the king’s eldest daugh ter may soon retire from the social world altogether. King A If. nso, when In England last month, recommended San Sebastian as a resort which would benefit her health; but since the princess has been ordered a complete rest and San Sebastian is the Spanish Newport, the idea was given up. The princess' visit to Norway for her sister’s coronation had a bad effect upon her, the excite ment having somewhat unsettled her. Princess Victoria’s retirement—tem porary,.at least—from court will, there fore, take place Immediately, to save her from possible complications. The royal family of Britain Is likely to very shortly be relieved of a con stant source of Irritation. The brother of the famous John Brown, who was so long the close attendant of the late Queen Victoria in Scotland, Is dying of cancer. The point of this announce ment, which has not yet been publish ed In any way In England, Is that King Edward, furious at the stories which were, and still are, circulated along Deeside concerning John Brown, turn ed John’s surviving brother off the es t& Hi* majesty was determined to get rid, as far as possible, of all that serv ed to continually remind him when in Scotland of the late John Brown. But when the king turned the brother off tho Balmoral estate he promptly took up his residence in a house on the other side of the road on the Invercauld es tate barely a quarter of a mile from Balmoral Castle. When King Edward saw on John Brown’s tombstone the Inscription, "Here lies a. true and faithful servant of Queen Victoria,” he flew Into a vio lent rage. Ilia anger was nonetheless poignant when he saw that there was no wav of removing this odious memo rial to* that extremely common person, John Brown. . . ., The Balmoral people and the innam* tants of the whole district a ong Dee- aid,* are complaining and close economy. The other day he wanted some small toy which would have cost next to nothing In the actual money, but which whs looked upon by the Princess of Wales (who can look very, very severe when she likes) as a quite unnecessary expense. She told the future King of England that he could not have it. For a time he refused to take “no” for an answer. At last her royal highness sharply told him not to bother her so much. "What would people think to see you worrying like that?” demanded the princess. Prince Eddie had no answer, but look ed with almost as cloudy p. countenance as his mother, which as a rule Is say ing a good deal. But his next brother rose to the oc casion, the little prince looked up Into the face of the Princess of Wales and said: "Why, they will think he takes after hls mother.” The king's tailor has been giving In an interview, some details of the ward robe of Edward VII. Hls majesty wears about a hundred pairs of trous ers in a year, and pays from $10.60 to $13 a pair for them. He orders about a dozen evening dress suits every year at $80 each, and for hls lounge suits he pays $53. Twelve or fifteen frock-coats, and fifteen overcoats are included In the king’s yearly renewal of hls wardrobe. The king has at least one hundred na val and military •uniforms, which rep resent a large sum In value, but apart from the cost of these hls tailoring bill amounts to from $5,000 to $6,000 an nually. 7 From the necessity imposed on roy alty, King Edward has acquired the celerity of a quick change artist In dressing. He can change from one suit Into another with iharvfelous rap- idlty. Hls taste, which when younger, was Inclined to somewhat loud patterns, Is now all In favor of simplicity. A plain navy blue serge is hls majesty s favorite cloth. ARE INFESTING PARIS Many Persons Forced to Ask Alms When Funds Run Short. Lady Kitty Ogllvle, who*, wedding will be the moil fashionable this month, will bo married from Cortachy 1 Castle, Forfarshire, one of the anelent feudal strongholds of Scotland, with a par- tlcutarly weird gho»t legend attached. Cortachy Castle, the ancestral home of the earls of Alrlle, Is haunted by a spectral drummer boy, who beats a ghostly tattoo when an Ogllvie Is about to die. In life the drummer was a mes senger -sent to a former earl by an of ficer against whom he had a grudge. The wicked earl had the boy killed and hls body thrown out of the window In side hls own drum. The last time the. fatal drum was heard waa at the time of the Boer war, when a lady guest, who knew nothing about the legend, told at the dinner table how she heard mysterious music accompanied by a drum. Shortly afterwards came the news that the Earl of Arlle had been killed at the engagement of Diamond Hill, while leading hls regiment of lan cers In a charge. The gallant earl was lady Kitty’s father and her brother. Who Is only 13. Is the present holder of the title.

ATLANTA SUPPLY CO., SOLE STATE AGENTS FOR GEORGIA. 29*31 South Foreyth Street, Atlanta, Ga. J. C. GREENFIELD, ftis. C. i PEEL Sw’> Anniston, Ala.. Sept. 19.—With over 100 enthusiastic delegates in attendance and with the strains of ’’Dixie" played by the orchestra, the annual reunion of the Calhoun county Confederate sol- filers was opened at the court house yesterday afternoon. The threatening weather kept the attendance down somewhat, but what was lacking In numbers was amply made up In enthu siasm shown during the meeting. After giving the "rebel yell” with a vim, Judge J. T. Greene called the men to order and Rev. W. P. Howell offered prayer. K. H. Hanna, of the local corps, then gave a short address of welcome, followed by an able re sponse by Judge A. F. McGhee. Owing to some misunderstanding. Congress man Sydnle J. Bowie was not present, ns was expected, and hls address was necessarily omitted from the program. The latter part of the session was devoted to a reminiscent talk about the old days, all the members participat ing. Before adjournment a group pic ture was taken. Temple May Extend Call.

(Copright, 1906, fcy Hearst News Ser vice.) Paris, Sept. 19.—Paris Is becoming infested with American beggars. Ac cording to Mr. Honan, secretary of the American Relief Society, there are more this, year than ever before. The American consul general, Mr. Mason, says It Is due to the growing craze to see Europe. "The fool books published In America, telling how to live on $500 a year in Europe,” said Mr. Mason, ’’are partly responsible for the present distress, and as the government make* .no finan cial provision to meet the* cases of destitution the consuls all over Europe are paying out their own good money. "The price of living in Paris has In creased 50 per cent since 1900, and Americans fall to realize that It la as expensive to live In Europe as It Is In America. "Money is not paid only to the poor. Only last week the son of a wealthy and influential New York gentleman had gone through hfs allowance, and to keep him from starving In the streets I loaned him 150 francs. "Some of the worst cases are dls slpated young men who have gotten out of touch with their rich fathers, and who spend their month's allow ance the first week after It arrives. "Another class composes a gang of American beggars who hang hround outside the consulate to extract a dol lar at a time from sympathetic Amer icans. Some of these frauds appear to do good business. "The craze to see Europe has brought about some curious consequences. Re cently a man from Texas, named Boughton, came over with hls wife to try his fortune. Wearing a pair of stilts under long trousers and a cowboy's aombrero hat, he quickly cre ated a sensation In England and made some $2 a day. Coining to Paris, ac cording to the story told by the Amer ican Relief Society, the police told him to ‘cut It out,’ as such things are per missible only during carnivals, and the poor fellow nearly starved until the society sent him back to London. "Since the first of the year the Amer ican Relief Society has had nearly 250 new cases of destitution, not Including the chronic beggars. Last year the so ciety sent about forty home to the United States and twenty-five to Lon don, where the American understands the language." "The more we send home, however," said an officer of the society, "the more come the next year. This year breaks all records. Begging Is vastly on the increase. "To show to -what extent some go to see Paris, I recall the recent case pf a man who hid among some boxes and succeeded In getting here as stowaway. t ’Didn’t you fear being detected and Imprisoned?’ this strenuous fellow was asked. " ’Why I never thought of it until now,’ he said. "This man with Initiative came to grief and was one of the many that had to be sent home.” 3 pigs, a monkey, a serpent, 3 calves, 630 birds and 9,020 pounds of butchers' meat. When one considers that many peo ple frequent the bathing establish ments in the river, and that in- the dry periods the river water is turned Into the pipes which supply drinking water to the population, It Is enough to give one the permanent shudders. A statistician has Just published note relative to the length of time women pass during their lives In tho contemplation of their own -images In the glass. Up to the age of six years the aver age female child scarcely ever looks at Itself In the glass. From six to ten years of age little girls spend an aver age of seven minutes a day looking at themselves In the mirror. Between ten and fifteen years the time spent before the glass Is about 15 minutes dally. From that time until she Is twenty she looks at herself in the glass for about 20 minutes, and between the age of twenty and thirty half an hour Is spent bv the average woman daily ln< front f her mirror. Dr. Cornelius Is the president of German league for the prevention of sea-sickness. He has Just arrived In Paris to make arrangements for the translation Into the French language of hls "Guide to Sea-Sickness," which, It seems to us, would have been mors happily named "Guide From Sea-Sick ness." The book has sold In Germany to the tune of over 7 000. The coming edition Is to be Illustrated by figures. They will, doubtless, be very entertain ing. RUSSELL ENTERED fORAPPELLATECOURT Friend Pays Assessment of Winder Man Putting Him in the Race. Suicides In quartets seem to be pop ular In Paris Just now. • A few days ago three men and a woman Jumped off the bridges into the Seine and were drowned within a short while of each other. Not long after, in another quar ter of the town, four people sought death by Jumping from windows. Iaist week four people were found dead from self-inflicted bullet wounds In the pub lic parks. The curious part of these suicides is that the dead persons are In no way related to each other, and evi dently have had no Intimation of each other’s Intentions. The department of waterworks for Paris have Just sent in their report for 1905. This shows, among other things, the number of dead bodies fished out of the Seine during the year. They comprise 100 human bodies, 2,110 dogs. 900 cats, 2,869 rats, 560 hens, 36 ducks, 215 rabbits, 12 sheep, 30 horses, 45 pigs.

Reid, of Palmetto, who was Indorsed for one of the Judge- ships by hls colleagues in the senate and a large number of the house mem bers. announces that he will not be a candidate.
