A PRETTY EVENT AT
TELEPHONE EXCHANGE.
The yourjg women of the Augusta
Southern Bell Telephone Exchange
did a charming thing yesterday after
noon when they entertained a num
ber of children with a Christmas tree
and gave happiness and pleasure to
many to whom the glad season means
so little of gladness. A Idg bcaiKiful
(((.,. with lt« glittering ornament* and
laden with Its pretty presents, was
placed In the rest room of the ex
change. A request had been sent In
to the Board of Charities that the
names of children who would have
probably nothing, or at least, less than
others, he given them. This was done
and yesterday when the little hand of
guests arrived It was a gladsome sight
which met their wondering eyes.
There were big dolls and little (lolls,
meehtuilcttl toys and games, a big bag
of fruits and candles for each, arid
each received a package containing
good warm garments. Trays of lus
cious fruits wore passed among the
guests before the wonderful tree was
denuded of Its gifts a picture of the
seem* was taken.
Mlets Marguerite Kitchens was hos
tess of the occasion and was assisted
I.v a nuntlter of the other young wo
men of the exchange In her attentions
to the appreciative little guests. Miss
Kite lie ,s read a brief sketch about
Christinas and wlmt It should mean
before the distribution of the gifts.
Altogether the occasion was a beau
tiful one. and surely If these young
women whose lives are so busy and
full can find time to contribute to the
happiness of others, it should ho an
Inspiration to others wlsi have ho
much time to do something towards
Ihe Christmas cheer of the less for

WHAT CATARRH IS
It has been said that every third person
is troubled with catarrh in some form.
Science has shown that nasal catarrh
indicates a weakened condition of the
body; that the secretion of the mucous
membranes are quickly affected, and local
treatments in the form of snulfs and
vapors do little, if any good.
To correct catarrh you should treat its
cause hy enriching your blood with the
oil-food in Scott's Emulsion which is a
medicinal food and a building-tonic, free
from alcohol oranyharmfuldrugs. Try it.

THAW LOSES HIS FIGHT
AGAINST EXTRADITION
(Continued from Preceding Page).
mented the Justice upon that lino of
argument.
Opportunity Afforded.
“In extradition proceedings, even
when as here, a humane opportunity
is afforded to test them on habeas cor
pus the purpose of the writ Is not to
substitute Ihe Judgment of another
tribunal upon the facts or the law of
the matter to be tried.
“The constitution says nothing
about habeas corpus in this connec
tion, but preemptorily requires that,
upon proper demand, the person
charged shall he delivered up to he
removed to the state having Jurisdic
tion of the crime. There is no discre
tion allowed, no inquiry into motives.
For New York Courts.
“The technical sufficiency of the in
dictment Is not open. And, even if it
he true that the arugment stated of
fers a nice question it is a question ns
to the law of New York, which the
Now York courts must decide.
"The statute that declares an act
done hy a lunatic not a crime, adds
that a person Is not excused from
criminal liability except upon proof
that at the time 'he was laboring un
der such defect of reason as: I—Not1 —Not
to know the nature and quality of the
act ho was doing; or, 2 —not to know
that the ad was wrong.’
Asylum Inmates.
“The Inmates of lunatic asylums ara
largely governed, It has been remark
ed, by appeal to the same motives that
govern other men, and it well might be
that a man who was insane and dan
gerous, nevertheless In many direc
tions understood the nature and qual
ity of his acts as well, and was as
open to be affected hy the motives of
the criminal law us anybody else.
“How far such consideration shall
be taken into account it is for the
New York courts to decide, as it is for
a New York Jury to determine wheth
er at (he moment of conspiracy Thaw
was Insane in sid-h sense as they may
he instructed w6uld make the fact a
defense.
Delivered Up at Once.
“When, ns here, the Identity of the
person, the fact that he is a fugitive
from Justice, the demand in due form,
the Indictment hy a grand jury for
what the governor of New York al
ii ges to he a crime In that state, and
the reasonable possibility that it may
he such, all appear, the constitution
ally required surrender Is not to he
interfered with hy Iho summary pro
cess of habeas corpus upon specula
tions as to what ought to ho the re
sult of a trial In the place where the
constitution provides for its taking
place.
"We regnrd it as too clear for
lengthy discussion that Thaw should
he delivered up at once.
What'll Be Done Now?
Washington.—Begat authorities who
have followed the case pointed out
today that New York, with is custody
of Thaw secure, might now direct his
immediate trial for conspiracy or
might anntufl the Indictment and re
turn the prisoner to Matteawan, or It
might return him to the asylum in
disregard of the Indictment. During
the argument of the case before the
supreme court, Chief Justice White
intimated that immediate imprison
ment of Thaw In Matteawan after his
return might give rise to another ha
beas corpus proceeding to determine
whether a federal right had been de
nied by plneing him In an asylum
after extraditing him for conspiracy.
Thaw may remain In New Hamp
shire for hlrty days unless his attor
neys consent to his removal sooner.
The mandate of the court is not issued
until thirty days after decision, unless
attorneys for both sides Join in re
quest for an earlier order.
COTTON THIS WEEK
New Orleans. Cotton futures made a
net pain of 20 to 81 points ns the re
sult of Inst week’s trading. The mar
ket had a good undertone as the result
of buying stimulated by increasing ex
ports laVpe mill takings and the de
mand for spots In the interior to fill
December engagements.
Kxporta were larger than for any week
this season.
As a result of recent shipments sta
tistics) of the week showed that the total
amount of cotton afloat for Kurope from
this country was actually larger tuan
it was at this time last year, the figurt*
being 831,000 bales, against 795,000.
This week business necessarily will

j holiday period. The market will close
Thursday night until Monday.
The movement of cotton at the ports
will he closely watched because of fore
casts that the end of December engage
ments are heavy. Further large clear
ances will he a sustaining Influence of
importance. On the other hand hears
expect that this week will see consid
erable cotton offered In the interior by
farmers who want to realize Christmas
money ami they expect such offering to
be a pressure on the market.
TODAY'S OFFICIAL
P»ri*. 2:57 p. m.—Progress all along the line Is claimed In the French
official statement given out In Paris this afternoon. There Is not a single

Progress has been made between the Argonne and the Meuse and on

N IS DRIVING
AUSTRIANS TO
[MJOTTON
They Have An Aversion to the
Meat of the Sheep, Though it
is a Common Animal in Their
Country.
Rotterdam.—The war Is driving the
Austrian* to eat mutton. This does
not sound like a great hardship, but
the Austrians have an aversion to
the meat of the sheep, though It Is a
common beast In their country.
A mutton propaganda has just be
gun In Vienna. Exportation of sheep
is prohibited and the patriots have
figured out that If mutton iB fash
ionable there will be a saving in
chicken, beef, pork and other meats
A committee has been formed to ar
range a mutton feast, at which the
meat will be prepared so appetlzingly
that all who attend will lose their dis
like. I.iterature Is also being dis
tributed.
Another oddity of war times is a
campaign against cats. Tne major
and corporation of Bransberg, a town
ship In East Prussia, have issued a
curious appeal to their people.
Too Many Cats.
The district, It seems, Is over-sup
plied with cats. The authorities think
they can thin out the surplus popula
tion of cats and at the same time Jo
a patriotic act for the army in the
field. They call upon all loyal citi
zens to shoot the cats and send the
skins as speedily as possible to the
town hall, where the mayor is to su
perintend the dressing of the skins
and their conversion into mittens anj
coats.
Tlie mayor adds a fantastic note to
his appeal by saying that as the cats'
skins afford protection against rheum
atism they will prove of great comfort
and value to the soldiers.
A young Englishwoman who arrive!
at Metz on a holiday on the eve of the
outbreak of war has given an inter
esting picture of life in this great
fortress city. Although not permit
ted to leave until a short time ago,
she was allowed to serve with the
Herman Red Cross and go about freely
In the city to do her work.
Greyer.
Five different times she saw the
kaiser at the garrison church. He Is
touch greyer than when the war be
gan and appears worn with care.
"The sermons which the kaiser
heard were always violently anti-Brit
ish,'* said the Englishwoman. “All
the German hatred concentrates on the
English and I can testify the British
declaration of war literally astounded
Germans.”
Of the Crown Prince, whom she saw
driving through the town, she said:
‘‘Personally, he impressed me as a
very unpleasant man, hut he is im
mensely popular."
From her nursing experience she
learned that the German losses were
enormous. ‘AH night long, from seven
in the evening to six next morning,
long trains come into Metz loaded with
wounded,” she said. “The majority of
the wounds, too, are serious; a slightly
wounded man is tin exception.
“Tito comment I often heard passed
on these terrible trainloads wns, If
our losses were so heavy, how much
more awful must be those of the
French and British!’
Insane,
“A large number of insane men ar
rive hy train, too. The trains had spe
cial cages for these poor madmen, at
tached to the end of the cars that con
veyed the wounded.
“There was an official reproof ad
ministered by tlie German authorities
to women who showed kindness to
prisoners. 1 was one of those reproved
Particular bitterness prevailed against
the FTench on account of their alleged
atrocities on the field. I saw one
French Red Cross prisoner who was
imploring the people on the station
platform to give him some bread and
no one was allowed to do it, because,
they said, he had given poisoned wa
ter to German wounded lying on the
battlefield.
