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 Seay, and Frank Darby in Currys I window have caught the attention of nearly every one thntt passes that corner, for the’past few days. Charley as the organ grinder and Frank as ths *'m >nkey ’is not had i at all The far awi y look of mourn ful resignation on the clas >ic coun tenance of the musician (?) and the sagachus and cunning expres sion on the monkeys face,approach es very nearly to the genuine arti cle,They are a pair that are excell ed by noamaturee, and can easily discount many professionals. 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 a jail to show the corrupnessof th* jailor aud hie assistants. Hie ex pose of it in the World created a Ing sensation andcausei the dis charge of the officials. He has done various jobs of this kind, and is a very valuable man to the orld. 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, whc"' name it I ears,and the pride >f the city of Seven Hills. 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. SNIN Both are good lawyers, and Ro mans rest easy, for it matteas not which one gets it, we will have a competent city Judge. One Popuhst preciut in Hancock polled more votes than there are m«n, women, children, horses aud mules in the district. This wa done probably, with a view to pu rify elections.— Sparta Ishmae li‘e. 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.
