Personal Appearance and charac
teristics of The Czar.
Detroit, Midi., October 22.
IL>n. Gfeorgd V. N. Lothrop, who
was Minister to Russia for three
aid a iialf.years uiu.br appoi it
m >nt by President Cleveland's
first administration, this evening
gave some of his leading impres
sions regardsng the characteristics
of the dying Czar.
Mr. Lothrop said: “The death
of the present Czar, which now
appears to be imminent, would in
d ed be a calamity. I have always
regarded him as the mainstay of
the peaceof Ekirope,
The Czar is of exceptionally im
posing figure, being 6 feet 4 inches
n height, and of great strength in
his former days. I had occasion to
meet him often at official and state
social affairs. He always gave me
the impression of being a man who
was, in society, rath*r diffiduit,
not brilliant or of great talent,
methodical, rather slow to make
up his mind, but of great determi
nation.
1 could say but little regarding
the char c ratios of his oldest
son, Nicholas, the Czarowiti, as I
knew him only as a ycuth of 18
years, whose character was then
unformed, he is very slight
of statue, not posessing in any de
gree the physical frame of the
Romanoffs.
Since Lhas attained his majority
however, he has traveled a great
deal and has been most carefully
trained for the responsibilites
which are to develops upon him
He will undoubtedly be surround
ed by mu th the same advisers with
whom his father has been associat
ed.
I regard the report about th>
possible succesion of the secono
sou to the tbroue as altogether im
i robable, as I cannot believe there
is any foundation for these ru
mors. The succession to the throne
w 'l,l think undoubtedly be in
ue regular line.
NEW HEATERS.
The Electric Car Lines Will Place
E’ettric Heaters in All The Cars.
Superintendent Green of tl e
Electric Car Line attended the re
c°nt meeting of the Electric Car
m’ n in Atlanta.
Mr Green says that the Conv»n
'ion was a most interesting one for
every body concerned with such
business It was a representative
gathering of the best posted men in
the country.
While in Atlanta. Mr Green
purchased heaters and all of the
E'ectric Cars will he equiped with
them this winter.Jlt is a most wel
come innovation in Rome and
those who patronize the car line
will appreciate it.
On circus day Mr Green and his
efficient Corps of motomen and
Conductors carried over 10,000
people during the day, and did not
have an accident of any kind. The
receipts for that one day came pre'-
tv clos 1 to ’ 500.
Some Romans.
Today’s Constitution has the
following to say about three
prominent Rome politicians.
Mr. Walter T. Turnbull and
Judge Matt R. Henry, of Rome
are both in the city. They are on
the hunt for the same seat—the
one Judge Henry is warming Both
are young men of talent and will
make their mark. Judge Henry is
quite yo g. He succeeded Judge
John W. Maddox when the later
was nominated for congress and hw
has filled the position since. Mr
Turnbull stands in the front ot
his profession. He formerly prac
ticed law in this city and has
many friends here —friends who
are anxious to see him win this
figh*. Both genilemeu are doing
some fine canvassing.
Hon. E. P. Price, of Floyd, a
candidate for doorkeeper of the
house, is in the city. He has a
strong following for the place it is
said.
Dr. H. M. Mißae, of Rock nir
| is at the Central.
HAM AND EGGS
The pictures of Messrs Charley

Mr, H. Guy Woodward, Miss
Mabel Paige’s stage manager, is
not only a X*p*udid comedian on
the stage, but is a most clever and
companionable kind of a fellow to
be with. In the summer Mr .Wood
ward spends his time working on
•omes metripolitou paper, aud is
an all round good newspaper mau.
He haa a brother, who occupies a
peculiar position on the New York
World. He does special work, and
is always assigned the hazardous
duty of ferreting out the rotteness
of city or state institutions and situ
ilar work He secured a sentanee >n

done various jobs of this kind,
and is a very valuable man to the

There is no literary club in the
State that has a more cultured or
refined membership that the Lan
ier circle of this city,. It is an or
ganization where the wit and learn
iug of the bast people of Rime finds
free play, and a stupid person
would not attend more than one
meeting before he discovered that
he was out of his
erary circle that is an honor to the
memory of the immortal p< et,

There was a time when slang
phrases were considered the heigth
of vulgarism, and mayhap is so
considered by many yet. But be
yond a question of a doubt many
slang words and phrases, that an
educated person a few years ago,
would have hesitated before using,
are now in every one’s mouth, and
it is not bad form either. There is
a terseness about this modern
slang that suits the hustling, wide
awake American. Very often a fact
can be stated shortly and clearly
in that language, that would take
twice as long if expressed other
wise. Shall we have an age of
slang, as we have had of other
things? It surely looks like it now.
That was a deserved rebuke Mr.
Woodward gave the hoodlum ele
ment in the gallery at the opera
house last Saturday night. It is
pleasing to any actor to receive en- (
cores, but it becomes tiresome
when a lot of ruffians insist on so
much oi it, and never cease. Mr.
Woodward is a clever actor, and
Saturday night he responded
to the recalls several times, but as
a matter of course became disgust
ed with the idiotic demonstrations
of the peanut fiends. There is too
much of that whisteling, yelling
and other loud demonstrations in
the gallery of the opera house
here, and it is extremely unpleas
ant for the refined people who at
tend. If a few of these demons
were expelled from the house, 1
think it would bring them to their
senses.
The race for the city .Judgeship
has narrowed down to two appli
cants: Mr. Geo. Harris and Mr.
Charles W. Underwood. The leg
islature meets tomorrow and the
question will be settled soon.

Both are good lawyers, and Ro
mans rest easy, for it matteas not
which one gets it, we will have a
competent city Judge.

STOLE HARNESS.
And After two weeks the soon is
Captured and Property iwvML
Two weeks ago last Saturday Mr
H. S. Bradshaw, who lives in Se
ney, drove to Rome in his buggy.
The harness belonged to Mr. .J. M
Bradshaw, who works at Coker’s.
He hitched his horse on a back
street and went out in town to at
tend to some business matters, and
was gone some time.
When he got ready 'to return
home he went around to where he
left his horse and buggy. The horse
and vehicle were there all rights
enough, but the harness and bridle
had disappeared.
As a matter of course he was
very much exorcised over his bad
I luck, and at once notified the po
lice. They kept a sharp lookout
for the thief t.n I in fact arrested
one or Lww parties on suspicion,
but could not establish their guilt
and released them.
The stolen property evidently
had disappeared for good and all,,
and the rogue seemed “slick"’
enough to keep out of sight.
But the police force of Rome
know a thing or two about all kinds
of criminals, and kept their eye
“peeled.” Yesterday Officer Tom
Logan noticed Ed. Harris, a color
ed bar keeper, out riding, and. lol:
the missing bridle was doing ser
vice for the coon. The harness and
bridle had been minutely described
to the entire force, and Mr. Logan
at once recognized the bridle.
When Harris was accused of
having stolen the things he made
a clean confession, and told just
how he came by them.
Harris said that sometime ago
he and Jim Johnson were out
driving. Harris’harness were oldi
and dilapidated, and Johnson said,
to him:
“Harris, them harness of yours;
is gettin’ mighty old.. I*ll toll you
I’ll see if I cant get you up-a set.’
A few days later Johnson came
to Ed and brought a set of harness
and a bridle, and offered them to
him for $5.00 The goods were all
right and Harris promptly paid
over $2. on them.. But at the same
time Johnson told him not to use
the harness for several weeks, or it
might get them both in rvu >le.
But Sunday Harris thought it
would lie all right to use the bri
dle, and “thats where the laugh
comes ip.”
The harness were found in Har
ris’ house under a bed, and were
taken in charge by the officers.
The two coous were promptly
locked up, and will meet the pun
ishment richly deserve.
No city in the United States has,
a cleverer or better lot of police
man than Rome, and as they have
so frequently demonstrated it is
not safe for any rascal to attempt
anything wrong, with the
tion of keeping out of trouble.
This morning ir. police court the
men were given a hearing. Johns
son was bound over under SISQ
bond, and Harris dismissed.
