Trlbnuo Iddg., Cbleago. The Georgian calls the attention of Its multitude of correspondents to these facts: That all communications must be signed. No anonymous communication will bo printed. No manuscripts will be returned unless stamps are inclosed for the purpose. Our correspondents are urgently requested to abbreviate their letters as much as posslbts. A half a column will be read, whereas a full column will be passed over by the majority of readers. No Occasion For Pessimism. We truit The Constitution will call a halt upon Its pessimistic vein in depreciating Atlanta too much on ac count of a riot with which tho better class of Its people hid nothing to do. The Constitution has had too much to say about the falling off in our bank clenrlng statements during the last week, and is mistaken In crediting the Incident to the events of the preceding Saturday. All of this may be Interesting enough, but It does not follow that The Constitution should rfib it In too much or attribute It too directly to the depredation of At lanta's business or to the Influence of the riot. The Constitution might at least remember two or three things In connection with the deficit In the bank clearances of last week. In tho first place we had a week of almost Incessant rain. The conditions of the weather were almost without precedent at this time of year. Many business enterprises such ns that of Mr. Gholsttn's factory were halted with workmen waiting at hand on account of the rain. Pedestrians were kept from the streets and the stores were not nearly so well patronized. And if The Constitution will think a moment It will realize that the cotton receipts for this year by reason of the late season, are fully two weeks behind those of the same week last year, which by tho record Was a bright, sunshiny and Inspiring week for trado. Joining nil of these things to this unwelcome weath er, we can find aomethlng at least to modify the doleful tale of Atlanta's reduced hank clearances during the past week. And wo bid The Constitution bo of good ^ cheer in the assurance that Atlanta Is neither dead nor dying, and that Its bank clearances and receipts of all kinds will speedily resume their normal tone. An Armory Auditorium. There never was a time when the necessity for an armory and an auditorium was more apparent In Atlan ta than just now. In the first place we owe It to our splendid military organizations that they should have a place to be housed from the weather and the mob when resting In time of danger and riot. Atlanta la growing ,o be a large city now and every large city lias found tho necessity for an armory for Its soldiery. New York has half a dozen, other cities have more than one, ane Atlanta needs one Just now. An establishment of this kind consistently nnder guard would be an effective and ready rendervous for our military men In time of emergencies, and with the guns, and the men In perfect equipment at all times It would be a source not less of pleasure than of absolute comfort and helpfulness to tho vital Interests of the city. The proposition to build this establishment large enough to Include In It a great central hall for conven tlons, stnte and national, and a city hall of large propor lions will appeal to the common sense and judgment of the city. Tho only question is the money. The proposition to Induce many of the subscribers to the exposition fund to divert their subscriptions to tills new and admirable enterprise. Is a good one. We take It for granted, however, that not all of those who en tered Into the exposition will be willing to go the full air.runt of their subscriptions to this cause, but even If they give half or one-third of their subscriptions It would make a nucleus around which the public spirit of Atlanta could readily revolve to raise tho remainder. Our vo’unteer soldiery has won the right to such an Institution. Atlanta needs the auditorium and the city hall which is a part of it, and having nothing else of transcendent Importance In the way of public enter prises at this time, why should we not Join forces togeth er and build the armory and auditorium? OUR PLATFORM-—The Georgian stands for Atlanta’s Owning ilsown gas and elec tric light plants, as it now owns its water norks. Other cities do this and get gas as low as 60 cents, with a profit to the city. This should be done at once. The Georgian believes that if street rail ways can be operated successfully by European cities, as they are, there is no good reason why they can not be so operated here. But we do not believe this can be done now, and it way be some years be fore We are ready for so big an undertaking. Still Atlanta should set its face in that direction NOIV ' Georgia’s Building at Jamestown. At the recent meeting of the (leorgla Commission to the Jamestown Exposition It was unanimously agreed to have a Georgia building, and Colonel Mitchell, the president of the commission, advised that he had selected a plot of ground fronting the wgter contiguous to the _Jitpte. buildings of Virginia, Maryland and Ohio. Under tho act of the Georgia legislature appropriat ing $30,000, no part of this fund enn he used In the erec tion of a building. The amount necessary must be railed from other sources. The plan of President Mitch- • ell Is, ns our local Interview shows, to have ihe principal cities of Georgia contribute—and a room In tho building designated for each city so contributing, all decorations •nd furnishings being the product of the city occupying the room, showing ill the room the diversified manufac tures, fine nrts, educational and historical of the city. This plan appeals to The Georgian and should and will, we believe, touch a responsive chord In the munici pal pride of our Georgia cities. Georgia must he splen didly represented at Jamestown, showing to the millions that will bo present that sho tc the Empire State of the South, and within her state building will cluster her cities—and as the visitor to the Georgia building goes through the various rooms Georgians can point with pride to the prosperity and enterprise of her municipali ties. Through the courtesy of the architect. Mr. Marve, a former Virginian, who built our beautiful Terminal sta- ' tlon, his services have been given the commission free. This will surely set an example to Georgia cities, and Ths Georgian believes that a quick, liberal response will be given by each Georgia city when the case Is presented to them. An Apology to Our Correspondents. Our correspondents must bear with us If we arc a Uttle slow in handling thf various communications with which they have favored this paper during the last fort night. The rush to the columns of The Georgian on the ipart of the people has been practically unprecedented. We have a stack of manuscripts upon our desk more than a foot high, and more than enough to fill every column of every page of every newspaper In Atlanta. We appreciate this evtdence of partiality on the part of the people who think and read In Georgia. We appre- elate that preference for the clean, fair columns of The Georgian in which to exploit their views, and we trast in time we shall be able tc use them all, or at least all of those that are not now rendered Ineligible by the passage Of events under discussion. It has been simply impossible to use them before. The Georgian every day in the press of Its local and vital matters, has been compelled to leave out telegrams for which we pay In good hard cash, and we have every day within the laat fortnight left out of each paper much reading matter. We are glad to hear from our friends at any time and we enter only the admonitory caution to make every communication as brief as possible in order to insure both Its appearance and its leading by the poopla. An Early Mercenary—A Sermon. And Herod was highly displeased with them of Tyre and Sldon; hut they came with one ac cord to him, and, having made Blastus, the king's chamberlain, their friend, desired peace; because their country was nourished by the king's country.—Acts xli. Few people have an aptitude for reading Scripture with a vivid conception of fhe times and surroundings. Properly to grasp the significance of the bare narrative of holy writ, it Is needful to clothe the bare skeleton of the story with the flesh and blood of reality. • If one would comprehend all that Is set down In the text It Is necessary to grasp the historical setting and see clearly the character and motives of the times. Herod was a creature of Rome. His family boasted of descent from the Maccabees, though tn truth they were bastard and Incestuous race In whose veins were small trace of Jewish blood, far less of tho royal and pa triotic strain of the noble family In whose right they claimed to rule. The Jews of that day were sunk under a heavy load of privilege. Every avenue to wealth and fame was closed to merit. Tho favored few had usurped all oppor tunity. The people were tn a worse condition than ever before In their history. The dry rot had settled like a pall on the Jewish* state. Under these conditions It Is not curious that a foreign and militant power had been able easily to dominate the policies of Jerusalem and seat by force upon the throne of David a set of viceregal pretenders and depu ties. Nor Is It surprising that the rulers were corrupt, selfish, unmindful of the welfare of the state, reveling In beastly excesses and open only to the solicitations and cajollorles of Intrigue. Tyro and Sldon were ports on the Mediterranean, de pending for their opulence upon the commerce of the East, the rich traffic of Asia, costly stuffs and luxurious viands that from the far valleys of the Tigris and the Euphrates sought an outlet to the world through the highways of the great deep. in their rivalry with other ports the merchants of Tyre and Sldon found it Imperative to maintain friendly relations with Herod's government. Not only the com merce of his own viceroyalty was to tie played for. but his land lay In such position that he could at any time cut off the passage of traffic either by open force or the Imposition of prohibitive tariffs. Therefore, It was that "they of Tyre and Sldon were nourished by the king's country;" nnd therefore also was it that when he "was displeased with them," these canny merchants of the sea felt the imperative need for peace. With a more honest or patriotic ruler, open negotia tions would have resulted and a treaty been made, out of which good would have come to all the people of Herod's domain and corresponding benefit to the commercial ports. Dealing with such a man as Herod, they of Tyre and Sldon knew that considerations of pa triotism or of public good would weigh ns nothing, and therefore they "made Blastus, the king's chamberlain, their friend and desired pcaee." What a picture of the times. To the thoughtful Im agination. what a suggestion of graft and intrigue Is here. Blastus, a high official, with the ear of a corrupt monarch open to his blandishments. It Is so easy to fill out the rest. But what of the people? How and where were their Interests considered? What must have been, what does history tell of their fate? And now having dwelt upon the moral and political aspects of this suggestive text, let us take up Just one of the collateral lessons that It teaches ami make a pres ent day application. As Tyre and Sldon could be commercially destroyed or their growth and welfare retarded by the Imposition of unjust tariffs on the Imports and exports of the East passing through Herod's territory, and all eastern com merce forced to seek the West h.v other ports, so today other |mrt In all the world Is dependent for Its i>ower and wealth on the free passage of traffic through 'hinterland.” Take Brunswick and Savannah for example. The government and people of Georgia desire to see the com merce between the United States, on the one hand, and South America and the Indies on the other, enriching and upbuilding these, her cherished cities, so favored by God and nature that the average haul through them Is shorter by a thousand miles than through New Orleans or the Northern |iorts. If the people of Georgia had their way, these things would he nnd our ports would grow rich. But we have put into the hands of certain railroad kings a vtce- royal power to fix the tariffs for the transit of commerce between America und the Indies, and somehow, these viceroys must be "displeased with them of Brunswick and Savannah." for they force the Indian comtherce through distant ports to our Impoverishment. Brunswick and Savannah have no access to these viceregal ears. Other ports far to the North profit when the viceroys of Georgia put prohibitive tariffs on the com merce of our port*, snd therefore they have already made Blastus their friend. The people of Georgia and her ports have no longer hope in relief by intrigue. They muat uat force. We may call it competition. GOMPERS FLAYS IF Chicago, Oct. 1.—Samuel Gompers conducted his “Sunday school” for teamsters yesterday at Appolo hotel, and In the first lesson laid down the commandment, “Thou shalt not slug.” Nearly 500 drivers gathered to hear the labor leader. A few of them early in the meeting showed a disposition to be unruly, hut peace was established when Gompers rehuktngly said: “Don’t fight with your flats or with pistols; fight with your brains and go as far as you like In that regard.” The drivers were told plainly to cease bickerings and get Into line for a solid front in the coming election. The largest meeting of printers held since the Inauguration of the eight- hour day strike was held in the after noon at the Second regiment armory. MRS, GOULD’S SISTER WEDS A CHINAMAN TWO BATTALIONS READY TO LEAVE FT. M’PHERSON TO JOIN TROOPS FOR CUBA San Francisco, Oct. 1.—*i am hap py, very happy,” said Ella May Clem- mons-Sun Yue, sister of Mrs. Howard Gould, today as she displayed a Jade ring, her wedding ring. She had only recently been married to Sun Yue, , Chinaman, who was working as a la borer at $2 a day in the ruins of San Francisco. Mrs. 8un Yue once ruled as the wife of Charles Overacker, a rich merchant. Then she enjoyed the same social standing as Mrs. Howard Gould enjoys In New York, but the couple were dl- orced and she resumed her maiden name. REV, C. P, BRIDEWELL LEAVES PASTORATE It was announced Sunday morning at the First Presbyterian church that the Rev. C. P. Bridewell, D. D., pastor for'the last eight years, had resigned owing to a great sorrow in his family. Dr. Bridewell left Atlanta Saturday for the home of his father In Arkansas nnd may never enter the pulpit again, it is said. The session of the First Presbyterian church will Wednesday night act on the resignation. The reason for Dr. Bridewell’s resig nation has not been announced public ly. It came ns a great surprise to the congregation. It Is stated that last week he was operated on for a foreign growth under his left eye and that the attending physicians pronounced It a cancer.

Va., Oct. 1.—Gen eral Thomas Matey Harris, 93 years old, brigadier general In the Union army during the civil war and brevet major general, died at his home at Har- rlsvllle yesterday, after a month’s Ill ness. General Harris organized nnd enlisted the Tenth Virginia regiment. At Appomattox he was directly in front / nf General I.ee’s advance line, and on him It devolved to silence the last battery that General l*ee ever placed in position.

Several Atlanta specialists have been called in consultation. MRS. MARY ADAMS DIES SUDDENLY AT EATONTON. Speeinl to The Georgian. Eatonton, Ga., Oct. 1.—Mrs. The parade ground at Fort McPher son had an unusually lively appearance Monday morning. Not that any war or preparation for war was in evidence. It was the same old routine, but officers and men moved about with more ani mation than on ordinary days. Guard mount was carried through with a snap that indicated Interest, the band played stirring marches and quicksteps that set the heart leaping. The atmosphere was one of expectancy. For the Seventeenth Is expecting or ders to march. Any minute may bring the telegram from Washington Order ing the First and Second battalions to entrain for Newport News preparatory for embarkation for Cuba and active service. No orders have been received Monday at noon, but this did not pre vent every preparation. The Seven- 1 teenth Is ready to leave Its post In an hour. "I have received no orders as yet." said Colonel Van Orsdale Monday morning. The colonel was up early and at his desk Jn regimental head quarters, ordering officers and men about as certain matters of preparation became necessary. An almost steady stream of men came In’ at his door to salute, receive Instructions and return to carry them out. The colonel talked between times, though, like most army officers, he said little. Regiment Is Ready. “The regiment Is ready to go at any time now’. Yes, I think all of us are looking forward to it with pleasure. Two battalions, the First and Second, will go, I understand. That Includes Companies A, B. C, D. E, F, G anfl H, with 65 men to the company. “Arrangements for transportation are being made through the quartermaster at the offices of the department of the gulf. We are not concerned with that here. It will require seven or eight day coaches for the men If we use day coaches. If they have tourist sleepers it will require more. Two or more Pullmans will be required for the of ficers. Then a number of flat cars and stock cars for the wagons and stock will be needed. I expect that jhree sections of the train will be required." It has not been decided by which railroad the regiment will travel to Norfolk and Newport News. Bids will be received at the offices of the depart ment of the gulf at 4 o’clock Monday afternoon and the Southern, "Seaboard, Atlantic Coast Line and Georgia rail road will submit bids for furnishing the trains. The hour set for receiving the bids Indicates that no movement Is ex- I GOSSIP 1 COL. J. T. VAN ORSDALE, Who will command the two bat talions of the Seventeenth Reg iment in Cuban Service. pected before Tuesday at the earliest. Ono Battalion' Left. Tlie two battalions will be command ed by Colonel J. T. Van Orsdale and Majors Maney and Chynoweth. Major Frank B. McCoy will be left at the fort In command of the Third battalion and will be ranking officer at the post dur ing the absence of Colonel Van Orsdale. The machine gun detachment under Lieutenant Murphy will also go with the two battalions. The regimental band, the hospital corps and the regi mental staff officers will accompany the expedition. The regiment will wear the regula tion khaki uniform and overcoats will not be taken. The latter .order Indi cates that no long occupation of Cuba Is expected. Orders have been given, however, for overcoats to be boxed and shipped to Newport News, subject to order, if needed later. The orders call for head nets nnd mosquito bars, nnd it is evident that every precaution against yellow fever will be taken. SEN. CARSWELL BEATEN BY AN ARMED NEGRO WHOM HE REPROVED Special to The Georgian. Gordon, Ga., Oct. 1.—Sunday morn ing about 9 o’clock, John Carswell, a negro, was cursing on the street near Senator Carswell’s home. Mr. Cars well went on the street near the negro and asked him to stop cursing. The negro becoming more enraged, knock ed Mr. Carswell down and beat him terribly. Mr. Carswell was unarmed. The negro escaped. Ho Is armed with a shot gun. pistol, a Winchester rifle nnd a supply of ammunition nnd defies the rest. The sheriff a* Itwinton telephoned Gordon for men and rlfies and they are in pudsult of the negro. The people of the community are very much wrought up over the affair and If the negro is caught a lynching Is feared. DOW IE BEGS FOR MONEY 70 WIN BA CK HIS HEALTH Chicago, Oct. 1.—John Alexander Dowie made his last pathetic appeal for money to his former followers yes terday. Haggard and weak, the old man leaned upon the arm of his wheel chair while he pleaded tor funds to carry him comfortably to Ocotlan, Mexico, where he hopes to regain his lost health. The spectacle of the sick man—prob ably dying—whose eloquence in the past had brought the dollars from the pockets of the falthfulr begging for money to pay his personal expenses, brought pity to those who no longer believed in his teachings. Among the straggling group of curious who had gathered about Shiloh house to hear his address were those who long ago had left the flock, but responded to his call once more. “I just want to borrow the money," he said, as the tears poured down his cheeks. “I am coming back here well and hearty once more, and 1 will repay everything. But I must get to Mexico. I must go In a private car, and that costs money. Unless you help me you will regret It." And the old man leaned forward In his chair and closed his eyes rrom sheer exhaustion. Last evening considerable money was needed to pay the expenses of the* CHEESE EATING CONI ESI ENDS LIFE OE CHAMPION % Liberty vllle. III., Oct. L—Frank Miller, aged 21, proved that he could eat more cheese than any other cheese lover in Johnsburg, nnd then he died. Fred Justen proved that he could eat almost as much of the llmburger va riety as Miller. He probably will die. Jake Brnyflcld made a poor showing as a cheese consumer, and he Is only desperately sick. Such Is the result of a contest Ibj* ended* many nights of argcme&i Johnsburg. Miller’s capacity f<v was a household proverb in i^l lage, and Justen was envious. Held also thought he might be r- ft if there was any way of settling the dispute. Next day all three were In the hands of physicians. Miller's case was the worst. It looked like appen dicitis to the doctors, and they oper ated upon him for it. THOUSANDS SEE RESCUE OF GIRL AND FIVE BOYS Chicago, Oct. 1.—A young woman and five youths, who had ventured out In a fierce gale, were saved from Lake Michigan, off Lincoln park, yesterday, where their laun h. the Surf, with dis abled machinery and half filled with water, was In great peril. The frail craft was in Imminent danger of being dashed to pieces against the concrete and stone wall. Captain Charles Garland, of the United States life saving station, reached the Imperilled launch with the lifeboat Dauntless not a moment too soon. The rescue was witnessed by thousands of people who lined the shore. By CHOLLY KNICKERBOCKER. New York, Oct. J.—News cornea from Chicago that Louis A. Gourdain, the eccentric financier who was so determ ined to serve a prison sentence at Joliet that he announced he would build himself a dungeon cell Just outside of the state Institution and Insisted upon living there in solitary confinement, la transacting business again along new lines through a bank he has estab lished there. Gourdain apparently needs money. His private Jail has not been built and he Is confined In his apartments at the Auditorium annex by sickness. Fred erick Lindquist, who drew plans for the miniature penitentiary, has sued him for $3,000 damages because Gourd ain refused to accept the plans. Now Gourdain Is waiting for investors In his new cashier's checks saving sys tem. In the absence of Gourdain nnd his assistant cashier, fhe dispatch says, H. H. Mullen, the clerk, could vouch safe no information as to the merits • >t the new system. It is understood, iiow’ever, that the bank Issues what is itermed "cashier’s checks," drawing 4 per cent Interest. Cashier Mullen is sending out C. O. D. a check for $1 and a leather pocketbook, his descrip tion of the latter being "to carry your money nnd cashier’s check." The checks are offered In any amount, ranging from $10 to $10,000 if one wants to pay for them. The “little black man," which fig ured so prominently in the trial for murder of George Woods, who asserted he had been driven to his crime by such an evil genius, has been revived. Aram Tnshjlan, the fratricide, has brought the black spook to life. In a fresh confession, Aram said: "The spirit, the little black, awful spirit, was at me all the time. The little spirit told me to kill my brother. “I fought the spirit off for two months, but it gave me no rest. Day and night that little black thing whis pered, ‘Kill, kill, kill your brother. He is the meanest man that lives.’ *• In the freshman class of Columbia University are two blind young men who intend to take the full course. Neither has enough money to pay hie expenses nnd so both will have to work their way through college. One of the men, B. Bernstein, is from Albany, where he won a scholarship. J. H. Muller, the second blind man, Is mak ing his way by tutoring. Has John D. Rockefeller made anoth er of his remarkable disappearances? The question is agitating his friends In this city since a dispatch was received from Cleveland to the effect that Mr. Rockefeller had not attended church in three weeks. The Cleveland dispatch says: “One rumor places Mr. Rockefeller In Chicago, visiting friends. Another says Standard Oil business required his presence In New York. Still another places Mr. Rockefeller on the farm of a friend he has known 50 years. Mrs. Rockefeller Is still at Forest Hill." • There are no process servers to dog the footsteps of Mr. Rockefeller and there would seem to he no extraordina ry reason why the Standard Oil man should “disappear." Mrs. William Astor has been brought back to her home on Fifth avenue. Al though It was rumored that her de parture from Newport had been decid ed on suddenly, on account of a quick change for the worse In her condition, Mrs. Astor’s secretary said that sho was greatly improved anti It was thought that she would soon be wholly restored to health. A rumor comes by way of Chicago that Mrs. Marshall Held Is to wed Dr. Frank W. Billings. I)r. Billings was the physician in at tendance upon the Inte Marshall Field. He has always been friendly with the family. After the death of the merchant prince Dr. Hillings attended Mrs. Field who was prostrated. Mrs. Field then went to Europe nnd opened a house In London. She Is still In Europe. W. Lee Hurley, the Harvard foot ball star, has secretly married Miss Rose Austin, of San Francisco. Rev.
