Newspaper Page TextOrigin of " Deadheads." Very few of our readers are probobly aware of the origin of the word “dead head," which Is so frequently used in connection with theatrical representa tions. It Is stated to be bh follows: Many years ago, at the time of turn pikes, the principal avenue of a town passed close to the entrance of a ro.i 1 leading to the cemetery. As this ccm was arranged that all funeral proces •tons should be allowed to pass along the latter free of toil. One day, as a well-known physician, who was drtv tng along this road, stopped to pay bis toll, he observed to the keeper, "Con sidering the benevolent character of our profession, 1 think you ought to let s pass free of charge." “No, no, doctor," said the gate-keeper, “we can't afford that, you send too many deadheads through ns It is," The story traveled around the country, and the word "deadhead” wns eventually applied to those who obtained free ad mission to the theatre. “I don’t see any use in getting blue over it, old man. She isn’t the only girl in the world," "That’s just what 1 am blue about. Think of the chances I have of making the same kind of a fool of myself again." Brooklyn Life, IlRPltfRIl ‘You think yon arc a pretty smooth article," said the salt. "1 have been told," replied the lard, “that I am quite refined." Cincin nati Enquirer. 'I he < nlmn Kesre.

Gen. John B. Gordon has been in vited to speak at Anniston on February lfitli, when the nineteenth birthday of the wide-awake and prosperous city will be celebrated. The suggestion that the exhibit of this state at Omaha lie housed in a building to he known as the “Georgia Pine Palace” has met with favorable comment all over the state. A delegation of Columbus citizens will appear before the river and har l>or committee of congress this week to urge the need of a larger appropri ation for the Chattahoochee river. The citizens along the line of the Southern railroad between Atlanta and Brunswick are now furnished with greatly improved mail service. Be ginning last Sunday morning a new schedule of vast benefit went into ef feet. The change in the schedule will affect every station between Atlanta and the City by the Sea. What was claimed to lie the biggest hug in the world died in Columbus the past week. It was the property of Frauk Williams, and weighed over n thousand pounds. The animal was over four feet high, was seven feet and nine inches in girth, and was about ten feet long. Its owner had just brought him in from a tour of exhibi tion, and the hog died at the end of the journey. Northern parties had made flattering oilers to Mr. Williams for the property, but he had refused them. There has recently been a notable enlivening among the populists occa sioned by the fact that throughout the ‘late, county conventions are meeting daily and electing delegates to the state convention. The latter will meet in the house of representatives in the eapitol in Atlanta on March lfitli, and already more than a third of its mem bership lias been selected. The con vention was called by the state execu f ive committee of the people’s party, which met on December 8th. Lx President Benjamin Harrison will address the Georgia State Bar As sociation this summer at the annual session of the lawyers. The executive committee of the association met a few days ago and transacted some very im portant business, among which was llii' sending of the invitation to Mr. Harrison asking that lie honor the association by delivering the annual address this year. It was the unani mous decision of the committee that the next session be held at Cumberland island on Juno 2'Jtli and 30th. The session last year was held at Warm Spring.

H. \V. Hub*, a Pike county farmer, has realized the value of diversified crops on a farm by his experience dur ing the past year. He made forty-six bales of cotton and sold it for less than it cost him to produce it. On the other linn (l Mr. Halo has a yon tig orchard of forty-six acres of fruit trees. Only ten acres were oid enough to hear any fruit last season, but nevor theloss fruit men paid him one Hums and dollars cash to let tekm shiji what they wanted to from ills orchard. When they got through a distiller gave Mr. Hale two barrels of brandy for what fruit was left. .After this the hogs had u feast on the balance, Quite a sensation has been stirred tip in the railway mail service depart ment of the Atlanta custom house by the tiling of charges in Washington against the superintendent of the de partment, his assistant and several of his elerks. The tiling of the charges has created a great stir and a sensa tioual surprise in tlie railway mail department. It was unexpected to those in the department ami was nn known to them until a day or two ago. One of the parties making the charges pays that in the copies that have been forwarded to the Washington authori <>>'s ate the charges of drunkenness, *' r ''>king in drug stores on Bun days, freqneuting saloons and promoting men who often visit places of bad re F u,t '- Three Atlanta men are the nu Mtors of the charges. The first session of the present leg islatnte increase the annual sehoo appropriation from 8000,000 to 81, OtH'jHW, and during the second Sl ' sM >‘U a futile effort was made to re F'bu' increase. Since then Stnt. School Commissioner Glenn has had i'' s hands full answering queries n reference to the extra 8400.000, most of the inquirers being either county school commissioners or teachers, who felt that their belated pay should lit given them in cousequcuce of theextre appropriation. The prevailing opin HtHMUS to he that tile money is already iu the state treasury, or is to he 1 >or rowed by the governor. As a mattei id fact, not a tlollar of it has been cot looted and not a dollar of it wili hi available until next fall.

Advices from Boston, Mass., say: ajsftrtKK&ra; ceased be to paid under the old ached ule of prices when they left their work Saturday. On Monday morning the general policy of the manufacturers to reduce wages went into effect in nearly every mill center in the six j -tales. The reduction also became operative in the cotton mills of New Bedford, Lowell, Pawtucket and Blackstone valley in llhode Island and in the states of Maine and New Harnp shire The Fall River mills, with the ex ception of three corporations, cut wages earlier in the month, as did also the Amoskeag company of Man Chester, and the mills in balem and a number of smaller places. I New Bedford continues to be the storm , center. J he indications , .. are that all the cotton mills in that city j will be silent for some time to come, 1 the employees having decided almost unanimously not to go to work under lower wage scale. The attempts of the state board of arbitration to tiring about a compromise failed. The Now Bedford .mill hands will lie supported liy other centers. The operatives in the Biddleford,Me.,mills voted to stay out, and it is possible several more strikes will occur in other places. A portion of the Queen City mill operatives at Burlington, Yt., are already out. Saturday notices of a 10 per cent redaction were posted at the Atlantic and Pacific corporations of Lawrence. A dispatch from that city states that the other cotton mills will undoubted ly follow. The Lawrence mills are last to come into line. They employ about 12,000 hands. The reduction in most of the New England mills amounts either to 10 ro 11 1-9 per cent. TH E SIIHOPSIIIRE CjVSE Brought to the Attention of ('ongreas In a l n 1 qur Way. The Clyde Shropshire case has been brought to the attention of congress in n very singular way. The Hour John \V. Hinton, of Milwaukee,at the head of the northwestern tariff bureau, in a pamphlet of twelve pages reiter ates his charges tlmt money belonging to his son, Francis Hinton, who died in Baris in 1895, was misappropriated by Clyde Shropshire, the vice-consul in Paris. The pamphlet is in the form of a petition to congress asking that a law be passed “To punish American consuls for robbing Ameri can citizens dying in foreign coun tries.” * In order to show the necessity of such a law, he gives his entire corres pondence with the president and the state department concerning the al leged misappropriation of his deceas ed son’s money and points to the fact Shropshire was not made to answer to the government. Mr. Shropshire denies the allega tions in toto. EULOGIES TO MILLIKF.N. A Quiet l>ay XVkh Saturday In the Congress. A Washington special says: The senate and the house Saturday, after 2 o’clock, was devoted to eulogies on the life ami public services of the late Representative Seth W. Milliken.

Astronomers everywhere are inter ested in the prospective publication of the great map of the stars, now well under way—that is, a photographic chart of the whole heavens has now for some time been in process of con struction by an association of observa tories in some of the leading coun tries of the world. In this important work the plan pursued is that of map ping the skies in sections, one section being assigned to each observatory: 3,000 photographs will be taken at each of the observatories, or a total of 54,000, and for each hemisphere there will be 11,000 small maps, or 22,000 for the entire universe. The vast map composed of these small ones will show some 30,000,000 of stars, of which 2 , 000,000 will be catalogued and num bered, by which means any star down to the eleventh magnitude, may he lo cated at a glance. One object of this immense and splendid enterprise Is to show just what aspect is presented in the heavens now, so that any changes in the future may be detected ant measured—a method by which, it is expected, valuable data will be ob tained.
