--—
The Alumnae Reunion at
Shorter college this evening
promises to be an elegant and
very pleasant affair. Dr. Battle
tlie distinguished president of
the college has kindly offered
the Alumnae the concert room,
not the chapel.
The object of these reunions
is to bring the Alumnae, facul
ty, Irustees and fi iends of the
college in closer touch. It is
hoped that these will be present
this evening. Later on the.
Alumnae will give a reception;
to which ail the citizens of Rome
will be invited.
The Alumnae regret exceed
ingly that there is talk of Dr.
Butle giving up the presidency
of the college. Such another
gentleman so courtly and so
capable of upholding the digni
ty of the college, will be hard to
find.
The address of Hon. Mose
W ;i'. to th; Alumnae will
b ng the line of Alumnae
work.
Apart from the address the
program will be rendered by
im inliers of the Alumnae.
The all'.iir is something in the
nature of a family entertain
ment will doubtless become a
precedent for many others of
lik ■ pleasure and informality.

GIGANTIC MR.
s Preparation Being Made By
England.
RUSSIA IS HER EOE
/
War Budgest Much Heavier
Than Uncle Sam’s
. London, March 11 —The wish
. of Queen Victoria, to end her
• reign in peace is again manifest
in the present threatening situa
tion. To many, war between Eng
| land and Russia appears more
I threatening than between the Un
i ited States and Spain,
s In the face of declarations by
) Hicks-Beach and Balfour, for the
r Salisbury Cabinet, ’.hat Great
Britain would muntain free ports
in China, even at tbe cost of war
t Russia has continued her aggres
-5 sions, leasing two ports from
. China, moving large bodies of
troops into Heilung Chang Prov
. Dice, and mobilizing her forces in
. the East so rapid'y that not en
> uiigh Russian transports could be
had to carry them and French
steamers were hired for the pur
pose.
It is reliab'y reported that be
t fore the end of the week the Brit
ish fleet will seize a Ch'nese port
as a notice to the world that she
is ready to meet force with force.
Then the issue ofjjpeace or war
will be with Russia. The Queen’s
- irflnence will be for moderation
’ u.d patience, but not for supine
s submission.
i Compared to those made by the
United States, England’s war prep

japan bus so far acted with
1 England in the present Eastern
crisis. She feels herself tricked
by Russia, and views the Russian
idvance in China with growing
alarm. H r fleet in the China
Sea has been under ordeis to act
in conjunction with the Br'.tisi
squadron and it will probably
continue to do so.
Both Russia and England are
bidders for the South American
warships building here which
are also desired by the United
States and Spain. The Chilean
Minister announced yesterday
that six Nations had bid for her
ships.
Said a number of her Parlia
ment this morning: “War clouds
are encircling the world.”

their lives, and that a thousand

selves with fear, owing to the

large bodies of Russian cavalry,
infantry and artidery.

80 INNOCENT,
I Meyerhardt Calls on Col.
Candler And Expresses
fl THOUSAND REGRETS
Says he was Guilless, Will Vote
For Candler.
One of Col. Candler’s many call
ers at the capitol yesterday was
Judge Max Meyerhardt, of Floyd,
to whom tbe colonel addressed his
famous letter criticising some of
the political meth ds that had
been t mployeu in the gubernato
rial campaign of 1894.
It will be recalled that Judge
Meyerhardt gave th s letter tn the
Rome Tribune for publication,
and that he was somewhat severe
ly criticised bv the press of the
state for so de mg.
Since that time the judge has had
very little to say in the newspa
pers about his action, and he has
"ested quietly under the steady
bombardment of advers criticis.n.
But as soon as he felt that the
time had come for him to explain
his position, he took a train for
Atlanta and when he reached here
promptly called upon Col Candler
at tbe office of the secretary of
state.
He told Colonel Candler that he
had been innocent of guile in
. making public his letter, and that
he had done so tl inking that it
was simply a circular announce
ment intended for general dis
tribution.
He said he had regretted a
thousand times since that he had
caused the colonel any embarras
ment, and that nothing was further
from his intentions than this.
Colonel Candler replied in the
best of good humor that he enter
tained no resentment whatever
and said that he had never suspect
ed that Judge Meyerhardt had
been guilty of acting from ulterior
motives.
The judge said that Floyd coun
ty would be found in the colonel’s
column and he expressed his in
dention of voting for him. The two
had quite a long conversation and
when they separated it was with
many expressions of good will on
both sides. --Constitution.

MUST MAKE RETURNS
Or You Will be Double Taxed
Say Commissioners.
At the last meeting of the
Board of County Commissioners
considerable trouble was experi
enced with tax payers who had
failed to make their returns for
this year. By neglecting this
duty they allowed the amount
of their last returns to be
brought forward on the books
and in many instances they are
kicking, claiming that the fig
ures are not right.
To remedy this evil the com
missioners have issued an order
to double tax every citizen who
fails to make proper and prompt
returns of all taxable properties
in his or her possession. The
board declares its to
adhere to this rule. So beware,
Messrs. Frank Shumate, Julian
Oglesby and Rufus Holland went

tongued orator Tuesday night,—

@ Presented
t'-rr
A young woman about to be presented at
court receives the fullest instructions as to
her behavior. She is told how to dress, how
to manage her train; how to courtesy cor
rectly. Every incident is carefully rehearsed
so that she may commit no blunder in the
presence of royalty. If all this trouble is
worth while for the satisfaction of one brief
moment, how infinitely more important it is
that a young girl about to enter into the
sacred precincts of womanhood, should be
properly instructed in all that concerns a
life-time of possible happiness, or possible
misery.
Every mother ought to see to >x that her
daughters are healthy and strong in a wo
manly way. She ought to make them aware
that any neglect or irregularity of the spe
cial functions of woman hood may result in
life-long weakness and disease. •
Any mother or daughter may write con
cerning these delicate ailments, with the
utmost confidence to Dr. R. V. Pierce, chief
consulting physician to the Invalids' Hotel
and Surgical Institute, of Buffalo, N. Y.
Her letter will be answered free of charge
with suggestions for self-treatment at home,
by which these complaints may be overcome
without need of mortifying examinations.
Dr. Pierce has had over thirty years’ ex
perience in the treatment of women’s dis
eases, and is an eminent specialist in this
particular field of practice. His “ Favorite
Prescription ” cures completely and perma
nently the most obstinate cases of feminine
weakness and disease. It heals all inflamed
conditions, strengthens and tones the nerve
centres and the entire womanly organism.
For prospective mothers and nursing
mothers, the “Favorite Prescription” is a
perfect strength sustainer.

sure against fire with Cothran
