THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN, MONDAY, UKl'F.JinKlt J7, Wit. 3 The Globe Clothing Co. received the following letter: “Having formerly bought all of my clothing in Savannah, but induced by an adver tisement in The Georgian, the best of papers, I am going to try you.

It la a stupendoua work, upon which our fel low-countrymen are engaged down there on the lithmui, and while we should hold them to a strict account ability for the way In which they per form It, we should yet recognize, with frank generosity, the epic nature -of the task on which they are engaged and Its world-wide Importance. They are doing something which will redound Immeasurably to the credit of Ameri ca, which will benefit all the world, and which will last for ages to come. Un der Mr. Shonta and Mr. Stevens and Dr. Oorgas this work has started with every omen of good fortune. Are to Gat Badges. '•They and their worthy associates, from the highest to the lowest, are entitled to the same credit that we would give to the picked men of a victorious army; for this conquest of peace will, In Its. great and far-reach ing effect, stand as among the very greatest conquests, whether of peace or of war. which have ever been won b» any of the people of manKind. A badge Is to- be given to every Ameri can citizen who for a specified time has taken part In this work; for partici pation In it will hereafter be held to reflect honor upon the man participat ing. Just as It reflects honor upon a soldier to have belonged .to a mighty array in a great war for righteous ness. Our fellow-countrymen on the Isthmus are working for our Interest and for the national renown In the same spirit and with the same efficiency that the men of the army and navy work In time of war. It behooves us In our turn to do all we can to hold up their hands and to aid them In every way to bring their great work to a tri umphant conclusion.” Fully 2,000 words of the message are taken up at Its beginning In telling In detail the movements of the presiden tial party while on the Isthmus. Ac cording to this bold recital of fact no cartoonist of that historical trip, no matter how wild and freakish his fan cy, has succeeded In doing this stren uous Jaunt justice. They were on the go from 12 to 18 hours a day. rain or shine, day and night. The president saw everything, henrd everybody, look ed Into all the houses, public ami pri vate. ale of everything, drank of everything. Of the new reservoir back of Mount Hope, built to supply water for Colon and Cristobal, he writes; “One of the most amusing (as well as dishonest) attacks made upon the commission was In connection with this reservoir. The writer In question usu ally confined himself to vague general mendacity; but In this case he specific ally stated that there was no water In the vicinity fit for a reservoir (I drank It, and It was excellent), and that this particular reservoir would never hold water, anyway. Accompanying this message, as I have said above. Is a photograph of the reservoir as I my self saw It, and os It has been In exist, ence ever since the article In question was published. With typical Ameri can humor, the engineering corps still at work at the reseiyolr have christen, ed a large boat whlth Is now used on the reservoir by the name of the Indi vidual jyho thus denied the possibility of the reservoir's existence. Too Many Barrooms. He notes that there seemed to be too many saloons In the zone. “But the new high license law which goes Into effect on January 1 next will probably close four-fifths of them. Resolute and successful efforts ore being made to minimise and control the sale of li quor.” Ry personal Inspection and personal experience he came to the conclusion that there was no cause for complaint about food. In detailing his experience he says: "The married men ate at home. The unmarried men sometimes ate at pri vate hoarding houses or private messes, but more often. Judging by the answers "f those whom I questioned, at the k 'vcrnment canteens or hotels, where •be meal costs 10 cents to each em ployee. This 30-cent meal struck mo being as good a meal as we get In jne United States at the ordinary hotel In which a 50-cent meal is provided. Three-fourths of the men whom I questioned stated that the meals fur nished at these government hotels "ere good, the remaining one-fourth 'hot they were not good.' I myself took dinner at La Boca government hotel, no warning whatever having been s’lven of my coming. Therd were two ‘ 'ottts, as generally In these hotels. In 0" the employees were allowed to dine without their coats, while In the other •hey had to put them on. The lo-cent m»nl Included soup, native beer (which "•is good), mashed potatoes, peas, beets, chill con carne, plum pudding, tea, coffee—each man having as mScti of each dish as he desired. “(*n the table there was a battle of liquid quinine tonic, which two-thirds ■ the guests, ns I was Informed, used •very day. There were neat table < loths and napkins. The men who "ere taking the meal at or about the same time Included railroad men, ma- chlntsts, shipwrights and members of ’be office force. The rooms were clean, 1 omf'irtable and airy with mosquito screens around the outer pluzza. I was Informed by some of those present that American officials, the school teachers and various employees appeared, bring ing their wives, there being dancing Rnd singing. There was a piano in the room, which. I was informed, was used for the music on these occasions. My meal wds excellent, and two newspa per correspondents who had been in the IsthmuB several days Informed me that It was precisely like the meals thiy had been getting elsewhere at other government hotels. One of the em ployees was a cousin of the secret service man who was with me, and he stated that the meals had always been good, but that after a time he grew tired of them because they seemed so much alike.” As to Foreign Labor. A steady effort, he says. Is being made to secure Italian labor, and espe cially to procure more Spaniards. "It has not proved possible, how ever," he says, "to get them In any thing like the numbers needed for the work, and from present appearances we shall In the main have to rely for the ordinary unskilled work partly upon colored laborers from the West Indies and partly upon Chinese labor. It certainly ought to bo unnecessary to point out that the American working man In the United States has no con cern whatever In the question as to whether the rough work on the Isth mus, which Is performed by aliens In any event. Is done by aliens from one country with a black skin or by aliens from another country with yellow- skin. Our business Is to dig the canal as ef ficiently and as quickly as possible; provided always that nothing Is done that la Inhumane to any laborer, and nothing that interferes with the wages of or lowers the standard of living of our own workman. Having In view this principle. I have arranged to try several thousand Chinese laborers. This is desirable both because we must try to find out what laborers, are most ef ficient , and, furthermore, because we should not leave ourselves at the mercy of any one type of foreign labor. At present the great bulk of the unskilled labor on the Isthmus Is done by West India negroes, chiefly from Jamaica, Barbados and the other English pos sessions. One of the governors of the lands in question has shown an un friendly disposition to our work, and has thrown obstacles In the way of our getting the labor needed, and it Is highly undesirable to give any outsid ers the impression, however III founded, that they are indispensable and can dictate terms to us.” Problems of Construction. In discussing the actual work of construction he says; "The work Is now going on with a vigor and efficiency pleasant to witness. The three big problems of the- canal are La Boca dams, the Oatun dam and the Culebra cut. The Culebra cut must be made anyhow; but, of course, changes as to the dams, or at least as to the locks adjacent the damp,, may stilt occur. The La Boca dams offer no particular problem, the bottom ma terial being so good that there Is n practical certainty, not merely as to what con be achieved, but as to the time of achievement. The Oatun dam offers the most serious problem which we have to solve, and yet the ablest men on the Isthmus believe that this problem Is certain of solution along the lines proposed, although, of course, It necessitates great toll, eilergy and In telligence, and although equally, of course, there will he some little risk In connection with the work. The risk nrlses from the fact that some of the material near the bottom Is not so good could be desired. If the huge earth dam now contem plated Is thrown across from one foot hill Jo the other we will have what Is practically a low, broad mountain rldgo behind which will rise the Inland lake. This artificial mountain will probably show leas seepage, that Is, will have greater restraining capacity than the average natural mountain range. Tho exact location of the locks at this dam —as at the other dams—Is now being determined. In April next Secretary Taft, with three of the ablest engineers of the country—Messrs. Noble, Stearns anil Ripley—will visit the isthmus, and the three engineers will make the final and conclusive examinations as to tho exact size for each lock. "Meanwhile the work Is going ahead without a break.” Whirr of Big Stick. He speaks of honest orltlrs and doubting Thomases as Jo be expected In connection . with a work of this mammoth proportion. Then the whirr of the big stick Is heard In this para graph: "There remains an Immense amount of as reckless slander as has ever been published. Where the slanderers are of foreign origin I have no concern with them. Where they are Ameri cans. I feel for them the heartiest contempt and indignation; because, in a spirit of wanton dishonesty and mal ice. they are trying to Interfere with and hamper the execution of the great est work of the kind ever attempted, and are seeking to bring to naught the efforts of their countrymen to put to the credit of America one of the giant featB of the ages. The outrag eous accusations of these slanderers constitute a gross libel upen a body of public servants who, for trained In telligence, expert ability, and high character nnd devotion to duty, have never been excelled anywhere. There Is not a man among those directing the work of the Isthmus who has ob tained his position on any other basis than merit alone, and not one who has used Ills position In any way for his own pecuniary advantage.” Speaking of the commission he says: “A seven-headed commission is of course a clumsy executive Instrument. We should have but one commissioner, with such heads of departments and other officers under him os we may find necessary. We should be expressly TROOPS GUARD VATICAN FROM RIOTERS IN ROME; GARRISON CALLED OUT Writes Beckham a Letter. Roasts Roosevelt for Not Condemning Liquor. Special to The Georgina. Chattanooga, Tenn., Dec. 17.—Mrs. Carrie Nation, the joint smasher, left here for Johnson City, Tenn., but she will go to Atlanta next week, where she will hold forth In the Tabernacle. Mrs. Nation has written Governor Beckham, of Kentucky, roasting Presi dent Roosevelt because he refused to express his views on the tobacco and liquor traffic In his last message, after having been requested to by the United Mothers of the World, In session at Hartford, Conn. She asks Governor Beckham to have prohibition and o, woman's suffrage plank In the Demo cratic platform because she says It Is right and will Insure the election of a Democratic president In 1908. She claims that because Roojevelt refused to give his views on the tobacco and liquor questions, It means the death knell to the Republican party. Mrs. Nation held forth for the last time at the auditorium In this city last night. Yesterday afternoon she spoke to a large audience of men only on the sub ject of Impurity. Regnrdless of what the people may think or say about her, Mrs. Nation visits the ratoons and with words sharper than a two-edged sword tells them that they ought to quit the busi ness. 0000c ooooGoooooooBtjaocKnKta § THI8 FRENCH COUNT 5 IS H9RSEWHIPPED.

Rome, Italy, Dec. 17.—Soldiers with flzed bayonets stood guard last night to prevent demonstrators from march ing on the Vatican. Nor was this precaution unnecessary. Led by radical Socialists and several republican members of the chamber" of deputies, demonstrators made an at tempt to break through the cordon of troops, and when they found they could not <lo so, marched in mock pro cession. They carried candles and Intoned the miserere as an Indication of the death of clericalism. “Down With the Vatican,” Cries of "Down wltjt the Vatican,” "Long live Clemenceau,” and “Long live Prance" were heard on every side. Demonstrators friendly to France and to the number of several thousand, filled the streets and took part In tho disorder. They gathered In the plaza adjoining the Farnese palace, the seat of the French embassy, and expressed their pleasure at the action of France In passing the law separating the church and state. Garrison Called Out, As soon as It became clear that trou ble was brewing, the entire garrison of Rome was called ont to protect the Vat ican. The government made every en deavor to prevent the demonstration, and to stop It after It hoa been started. The French ambassador, M. Barerre. received a deputation from the demon strators, and to them he expressed his appreciation for the sympathy dis played by the peo’ple of Rome. Prince Leads in Disorder. After this the disorder broke out afresh and the troops were ordered to charge and disperse the crowds. 8om i of the members of the crowd were In jured and others arrested; ’ Prince Bor- ghes* was a leading spirit In the dem onstration.

DOG WAS SENTINEL FOR BLIND TIGER OFFICER OF SCOUTS WEDS GIRL HE LEFT BEHIND HIM; A TEN YEARS' COURTSHIP A romance which began nearly ten years ago when patriotic sons of the South were enlisting to fight for thetr country In Cuba, culminated In a mar riage Sunday night at the Kimball house when Miss Teresa O'Malley, of Columbus, Miss., and Lieutenant Jas. B. Hutcheson, 'of the Philippine Scouts, U. 8. A., were wedded by the Rev. Lynn R. Walker, of the West End Presby terian church. It was when the first call to arms was sounded away back In 1898 that Lieutenant Hutcheson enlisted In the army to help throttle the power of Spain In the Queen of the Antilles. Troops were mobilized at Columbus, Miss., and It waa there'that Lieutenant Hutcheson went from his home In Montgomery, Ala. He met. Miss O'Malley and it was a case of love at first sight. But not for long did the young soldier see his sweetheart. In a short time he* was aboard a ship on his way to the trop ics. All through the Cuban campaign he fought and when he did return to this country it was only to be sent to Manila. There he soon made a name for hlmaelf and before long he re ceived a commission In the Philippine Scouts. . few times since he went to the far away possessions of Uncle Sam he cams home, but not often. But with thousands of miles between them the young couple kept up their correspond ence. Their love did not grow cold and the lieutenant longed for the time when he would reach the states on a leave of absence. He arrived a few days ago from the Philippines and he then saw Miss O'Malley again for the first time In five years. When the marriage was decided upon Mlee O'Malley was In Spartan burg, S. C„ . on a visit. Lieutenant Hutcheson left Montgomery with a party of friends nnd relatives. She left Spartanburg and on Sunday the two lovera met In Atlanta. Dr. Walker came from West End with some of the lleutenant’a Atlanta relatives and the next scene waa en acted In the parlors of the Kimball house. The ceremony was performed at 6.30 o'clock, while the guests of the hotel were at dinner and while the two were being made one, the orchestra at the hotel played Mendelssohn's wed ding march. This music excited Inter est among the diners, but by the time an Investigation was made the couple had been married and were receiving the congratulations of their friends. In the party who witnessed the cer emony were: Mrs. Pries, of Montgom ery, a sister of the groom, and his brother, Elliott Hutcheson, of the same city; Alva Fitzpatrick, a well-known Montgomery newspaper man, together with Mrs. Fitzpatrick, and tlielr daugh ter, Miss Lizzie Fitzpatrick; Mr. and Mrs. James Campbell, of West End, Atlanta, and Lieutenant John J.

FOUL PLAY FEARED BY DAVIS' ERIENDS; STOREJSATTACREO While Involved, Young Man’s Disappearance Is Mysterious. ^ When Mounted Policemen Hollingsworth nml Whntlejr Hominy afternoon made search at the home of Ellen faster, negro woman, residing at 7$ Chestnut are* nne, "Darkfown,” they unearthed one of the most unique blind tigers discovered In Atlanta In a long while. Bntlnfled that Ellen waa conducting blind tiger, the two officers went through her house and made a minute aearcb, all to no avail. They then searched In the yard and under the house, all with an equal lack of success. Finally, however, they walked Into n small coni house, In the rear of the yard, and here their seal was rewarded. On the floor of the bouse lay a big Shepherd dog, na though a sentinel on- guard. The sleuths nt once suspected something wrong, and tried to Induce the dog to come out of the coal house. But tha faithful anlmnl would not budge. The Lester woman was then commanded to fore* the dog ont of the bouse, which she did, declaring the police would fltrd nothing wrong. Doffing thslr costs, tho two officers then set to work with a vim, and removed some of the flooring, on which had been piled In placet a lot of old boxes and other rubbish.
