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 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.

THE AUGUSTA HERALD, AUGUSTA, GA. 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.

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.

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.

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. “Tl.
