He said the negro had been working for him on a house In North Jackson street and became Impudent. He said he ordered the negro away, but that he refused to go, and that, fearing trouble, he shot In the air to scare him. In a raid by soldiers Wednesday night on a negro house In Hightower street. Just off McDaniel, an officer's sword was found, which Is believed to be the property of Captain E. P. King, of tho Fifth Georgia regiment, and which was mysteriously lost a few weeks ago. Captain King has seen the sword and Identified It. An interesting story Is connected with the loss of the weapon. Captain H. T. Anderson, of Madison, borrowed a sword from Captain King recently at the time of the maneuvers at Chlcka- mauga Park, his sword In some man ner having become misplaced. Captain King readily loaned the sword, as he was not going to the encampment. On his return from Chlckamauga, Captain Anderson gave the sword to i negro bicycle messenger, with Instruc. tlons to deliver It to Captain King, after which he went on to Madison. Captain King never received the sword, and about two weeks later wrote to Captain Anderson regarding It. On learning that the weapon had dlsap peered. Captain Anderson obtained an other of the same make and forwarded It to the Atlanta officer. Captain King supposed this was the original sword and never knew It had been lost until the recovery of the weapon In the raid of Wednesday night.

Walden. r (Copyright, 1006, by W. R. Hearst.) In a recent article I had occasion to call attention to the childish prejudice of foreigners toward American women and their disposition to criticism, all because some of them had overstepped the bounds of European Ideas of pro priety In the female sex. labored ar ticles are brought forth In defense of their Idiosyncrasies on the subject, but after sifting them thoroughly It Is found that the sum of offending by American women consists In the fact that they are ambitious and are not subservient to the whims of the lords of creation, und that It never occurs to them to regard men as superior be ings who must be looked up to with reverence.. and with whom they muet not dare to discuss any question nr en tertain any opinions of their own. They must not essay to have any knowledge on any subject not acquired from their lords and masters. The moral status of society on the other side of the Atlantic Is fixed by the men of Europe; women have only to submit In turn to the dictates of the ruler of the realm and the household. The wife of the sovereign le rarely consulted on any subject. The regula tions governing the family and the home are usually established by the man at the head‘of the family, with out regard to the pleasure or wishes of the woman of the house, the man selfishly considering hie own comfort and convenience of paramount Impor tance. It haa been hinted that European women, finding that the women of this country have so much more considera tion at the hands of the ablest and moat pulsaant as well os the humblest men In America, have rebelled against the petty tyranny to which they have been subjected. It Is certain that many of them have ventured upon forbidden ground and have set ailde restrictions they once obeyed without question. They claim that If European men will marry American heiresses and allow them to Introduce American manners and customs, they must expect to wlt- nese great changes, through the In fluence of these Independent self-reli ant daughters of a republic where women are treated as full partners in all matrimonial alliances, and are ex pected to share In the responsibilities of rearing their families, and to be the confidantes and advisers of their hue- bR It d may have been the example set by the Pilgrim Esthers In their devotion and deference to the noble wives and mothers who crossed the seas wlth their husbands and sons to share In the danger* and hardship* of emlgrat- Ing to a new World which has given the women of this country the exalted positions they have held ever since the first families landed on Fymouth Rock That they have potential Influence there Is no denying; that they should have, there Is no disproving. They hav* shared In the trials, haxordi and depri vations through which the b “ ,ld *™' “ f a nation must pass. Loyal, self-deny Ing, self-sacrificing, courageous, they have stood side by side ofthemen, no duty wa* too arduous; no task too great for them If husband*, fathers nnd sons decided upon a venture. Women guarded the homes, supported the fam lilea the army and the navy "bile tnt m'n fought for Independence. They have Imitated the hernlsm and ndeUJV of their maternal ancestors In ail oi iHo Htruffgles of th# nation. As th .1 maternal ancestors honored i moihare ho each succeeding gen «£ E3sri.t5.« them by the respect and confidence bestowed upon them by the stronger sex, have been untiring In their ef forts to be worthy helpmates. When education and religion were at a low tide In this country, It was the women who worked the hardest for the estab lishment of schools and churches. There were women In the first anti slavery societies; women In the Union League clubs; In the sanitary commis sions and missionary societies. It was a woman who brought the Red Cross to this cnqntry and caused lie adoption by our government. They have been prime movers In every association ever organized for the uplifting of mankind and the betterment of the world. They nave had a large part, by their wise counsel and devotion to duty, In the heroic deeds which have made the United States a world power. The women Insist that the men of the nation shall be stalwart giants In tellectually, morally and physically. They despise pygmies, courtiers, weak lings and cowards. There Is no danger of the ''effemlnlxatlon” of the men of America: they understand all loo well the standard of nobility which Ameri can women demand. Woman's influ ence haa been exerted to develop and Inspire men to deeds of daring and to the highest altns and purposes In life. It may be true that the comradeships of the men and -women of this free coun try has had a tendency to tame the brute that la said to be In every man. They may have bridled the appetites of men for dissipation; they may have cured men of the tendency to tyrannise over the weaker sex. It Is to be hoped they have made men lees selfish and exacting, but never "effeminate!” Why Is It that American men have undertaken and accomplished the most prodigious enterprises alt" over the world and are today suggesting her culean projects toNllfferent nations, If they are becoming effeminate? Why le It that In diplomacy, statesmanahlp, financiering, exploring and planning for the onward march of civilisation American men are called into consulta tion and are considered the ablest ad visers? Certain It la they never recom mend timidity or retrogression, or manifest a lack of manly courage In their convictions. Few of them are carpet knights or proficient In the arts of the coutler. But In all the essentials for the achievement of civilisation they will not be found wanting In culturo and equipment. I have witnessed the petty tyranny of men over women In every country on the. continent. In Germany I have seen women yoked up with beasts of burden and with dogs, drawing wag on*. carta and the plough, while the man rode In the cart or followed In the furrows. I have seen In the city of Berlin men loading bags of coal on the bocks of women, who carried them up two or three flights of stairs to apartments, while the' men sat down and waited for the women to return and receive the hags until the load had nlj been carried to customers. In the sam» city I have seen natty army of ficers walking In the streets with aged women, mayhap their mothers, or with their wives, never deigning to touch the bundles which the women carried. As a rule, American men would not be so heartless. If the In fluence of Amulcan women has made men more considerate and more gentle toward their mother*, wives and ohll dren, they have made them true noble men. destined to attain and maintain m place In the highest ranks of civilisa tion.

Instead a dip In the shape of a curl or roll should be brought down In the center of the forehead or a straight round pomps- dour worn.

Iva, 8. C., Sept. 27.—Rev. R. C. Llgon, prominent Presbyterian minister, died here yesterday at 3 o'clock. He had been In feehlo health for nearly two years and his death was not a surprise. Mr. Llgon was ordained a minister In 1*74. His longest pastorate, embracing 25 years, was at Good Hope church, here he will be burled today. the newest fashion and the style unbecoming. "If women would be as artistic In the dressing of their hair as they, are In the selection of their gowns they would not only have to do less plan ning for clothes, but would undoubted ly be much more attractive, for they would be prettier. "It is only occasionally that a wo man realizes that the prevailing style does not suit the shape of her face. If she does not like It at the first dressing she say* It Is because the' fashion Is so different from the one she has been accustomed to wearing, and that when she gets used to It she will think It ns becoming as the other collture. And she often adds, 'It Is such a delightful change to have a new style; we get so tired of wearing the same one day after day for several months.' "I know of one woman who always tries every new style that Is Introduc ed, but never wears her half In a fashion unless It suits her fsce. She has studied her features with all kinds of arrangements of her hair, so that ■he can tell almost Immediately wheth er the new modes will be becoming, and If one makes her face appear too broad or too thin she does not even consider it. Bhe declares that by ad justing certain tresses In correct posi tions a woman's nose, eyes or mouth 'mAy be given prominence. The jiose may be made to look long or short, while the size of the mouth may be Increased or diminished. With her hairdressing Is an art, but few per- dn the head should be In harmony with the front. "Now, w|th a large face the Idea In nrtlstlc arrangement of the hair Is to relieve It of the effect of bigness, and this Is best accomplished with a round pompadour, provided the hair Is done low on the neck, In a braid or rolls that show on cither side, and- In this way relieve the largeness of the fea tures. e False Hair for Thin Faces. "If a woman with a long, thin face hasn't an abundance of hair she should wear false pieces, for there must be plenty of it arranged In some pretty fluffy fashion to take away the effect of lack of lleeh. Then, too, there should be plenty of combs In her coif fure; one on either side and a large one In the back, >rnamented with the curious ollve-lffce decorations that arc so smart Just now. “The front of the hair should be a full and high pompadour, with little tendrils fluffed out to give breadth, and the hack may be made Into a coronet braid and pulled far forward. “A baby faced woman looks best with her hair parted down the center or on one side and tied with a bow. It is understood by the average wo man that a tall one should wear a low coiffure and a woman small In stature a high arrangement. Incidentally, old women should never attempt to affect the youthful styles with the hair colled low, for It Is not In keeping with their faces anil detracts from ihe dignity they should possess. Puffs on the top of the head dressed to suit the shape of the face should be the style se lected. "Women with large and ugly, ears are the only onee who seem to give much thought to artistic fashions, and they are eager nhout them, because they want to hide their defects.” Mist Wideman Dies.

J. C. Solomon, superintendent of the Anti-Saloon League. Mr. Solo mon also takes up the probability of a prohibition ticket being ptit In Ihe field at the next election and Intimates that such action may be taken. His com munication follows: “Many favorable expressions have been heard on the streets since the publication of District Superintendent J. B. Richards’ article In Wednesday's papers. The people were evidently pleased with what he said. Ths fea ture of hla communication, which ap peals to me, and I believe to many thousands as well throughout the city, was that clause which advocates the closing of barrooms In Atlanta at 5 o'clock In the afternoon. “The blessings which would flow from such an ordinance would prove a very boon to our city. I li«-n«*v»- every good dtlxen of Atlanta would thank the council for the passage of such nn or dinance. Such action would gladden thousands of mothers' hearts Ih this city of sin and crime. Wives would alao take courage and thank God; chil dren would rejoice and homes would be more peaceful, and Here and there u patch of neaven would appear—so great and so sweet the change., Wives would receive their husbands, mothers their sons and children their fathers; men and boys would come home’'to their loved one* sober and happy. “It Is a fact that men drink more In the evening than earlier In tho day. And not Infrequently,It happens that after the day's work Is over men repair to the saloon, where they can meet their fellow* and spend some hours to gether In social drinking. When once, a man takes to hts social glass and be gin* to spend his evenings In the i, h«,ls going rapidly to his doom. >se the saloon at .5 o'clock and men, with rare exceptions, will go home, and go home sober, .and as the matter now stands, saloons closing at 10, the convivial spirit, the social glass, the love of barroom fellowship too of ten lay hold upon the Impulsive and tenerous soul, and soon he Is lost to tome, to society, to business, to hope— he Is absolutely lost—he Is ruined. “Ye men In authority, ye custodians of our civic, as well a* our moral Inter- eats, close the saloons at ( and save our young men from the lives of drunk ards and mftthers' hearts from break ing, and homes—the mansion as well aa th* cottage—from desolation. ’Five hours In and about the saloon.

"City fathers, help the young man back to his mother, the husband back to his wife, the father back to his children. Give them a chance at the library and tho Bible—a good chance tojiray and think of his soul and his I doubt not that there Is more ca rousing and drinking and drunkenness and vtlcness from 6 to 10 o'clock on Saturday night, especially on Decatur, Peters and Marlsttn streets, than any other three nights In the week. Of all others, Saturday night le the one wild, awful, hideous night of debauchery and crime In Atlanta.' It la the time when the dear man loses character, valuable moments, his hard earnings, loses all. and In the mad whirl of aln plunges on down to hell. 'If my picture seems too dark for you, gentle reader, go stand around these crlme-breathlng holes, these cess pools of sorrow ana daath, and your very soul will sicken at the sight.
