The approaching primary election for the nomination of city councilors appears to be coming on in about the usual way of such elections of late years, “fixed” for the voters before hand. First there were dining caucuses, then committees of twenty, then the swell crowd of “140,” to arrange the ticket, then a so-called mass-meeting, which en dorsed the candidates which were set out by methods which the “mass” pretended to condemn. So it appears now that the “primary” is already fixed by the thimblerigging politicians, and the “mass” of the peo ple are expected to ratify such action by their votes at the primary polls. We are frank enough to say that we do not approve of such methode. If the white people are to have a full expression for choice of nominees, let them go to the polls without any previous “fixing” or arrangement of a ticket. Let the peo ple choose for themselves by their bal lots. Then let the politicians abide by such choosing by the people. We were asked some years ago to give out views on the system of primary elec tions. We illustrated then how primaries had been diverted from the true pur pose of such elections, and had become the “machinery” of political wire pullers, to work themselves or their friends into office. We still think so, and the present method of engineering a “primary” is a fraud on honest voters, who desire to have a fair ballot and true count. We condemn the present method, for a “people’s pri mary.” COL. GEO. W. ADAIR. It is with a sad feeling that we con sider the loss of Col. Geo. W. Adair as a citizen and as a Confederate veteran. He has been for many years one of the most active and enterprising citi zens of Atlanta. As a Confederate soldier he was with Gen. N. B. For rest, and to say this is itself sufficient to indicate the character of his service. To go with Forrest meant “rough riding,” hard fighting and dangers. Col. Adair has been prominent in all affairs tending to the progress of the city. We sincerely sympathize with his family. CANDIDATES. The Confederate Veterans’ League has agreed upon a support of the fol lowing named veterans to bo voted for in the primary next Thursday: Jacob Haas, Alderman South Side; A. Q. Adams, Councilor for Fifth Ward; Dr. J. A. Hutchison, Councilor for Sixth Ward; Dr. T. D. Longino, Councilor for Seventh Ward. Among other candidates the veter ans will take their own individual preference. COMPOSITORS WERE DISATISIFED. Non-Union Type-Setters on New York Sun Claim Bad Treatment. A New York dispatch ssys: A num ber of the non-union compositors who took the place of the locked out printers of the Suu struck Tuesday night. They complain that they have been unjustly treated and that the management has not kept the agreement made with them. According to their story they were to receive 50 cents per 1,000 ems, which is the union wage scale. They have received this, but from eight to ten proof correctors have been em ployed and their wages of 60 cents per hour have .been deducted from the earnings of the compositors.

Being possessed also of a fair amount of brains, I was never for a moment deceived as to the nature of the affec tion lavished upon me by most of my female friends. But when my dearest chum, the girl I really thought loved me for my myself alone, told me she was engaged to be married to my brother, Fred, my grief and anger knew no bounds. I had gone over to stay all night with Maud, and had laid awake till 3 a. m. exchanging confidences, and all the time the sneak never said a word about Fred. At last I dropped off to sleep and was just in the midst of a glorious dream, in which I was leading the cotillon with a magnificent man with soulful eyes and a bank account in seven figures, when Maud suddenly threw her arms about my neck, entire ly shutting off my wind and scaring me almost into nervous prostration, and with a burst of tears confessed that she had been keeping a secret from me for two whole days, and that we were to be really, truly sisters, not just sisters in affection, as heretofore, etc. I managed to wriggle out. from un dec Maud’s arm, and then I sat up in bed and said things. I don’t remem ber exactly what they were, but they must have been pretty bad, for Fred didn’t speak to me for a week (of course Maud had to tell him), and Maud her self went around looking like a suffer ing martyr whenever we chanced to be under the same roof. I was convinced that I was the most miserable girl in the world after that, and the worst of it was that every body, including Maud herself, thought that I was only mad because she was engaged first, an imputation which I need not say was entirely unjust. I’m sure I could not see what Maud had done that was so wonderful any way. Fred is anything buT brilliant, aud I never considered him even good-looking, while as long as mamma lives he hasn’t a penny to his name except his salary, which is by no means princely. But Maud! You’d have thought she’d landed a Vanderbilt or a poet laureate the way she acted. I pretended not to notice her airs and nursed my grief in proud silence, but I had no doubt that I was the most wronged and unhappy creature that ever lived, until subsequent events taught me that our affairs are arranged by an all-wise Providence in whom we may safely trust, no matter how dark our way may seem at the time. I shall never doubt the wis dom of Providence again. To begin with, I found I was likely to get a lot of amusement out of this engagement. was madly jealous of Maud all the time, though anyone could see with half an eye that she was simply mad about him and in deadly fear of losing him herself. He would come home at least three times a week, pale, haggard aud wild eyed, a man bereft of hope. The rest of the time he was madly joyful and talked about Maud as if she was several degrees higher than the seraphim. It was enough to make a St. Bernard dog laugh just to see him. I also found further consolation in the fact that his state of mind inter fered seriously with Fred’s appetite, that I got all the extra pudding aud things that had always fallen to his share (Fred was always a greedy thing), aud then Perecvai Jones came from abroad. Perceval was a millionaire’s eon, with a face too beautiful for words and a taste for Ibsen. Os course all this made him desira ble beyond most other men, but I must say the way the girls of Archer ville made different kinds of fools of themselves about him was enough to disgust even a woman’s rights advo cate with her sex. I need hardly say that I was smart enough to treat Mr. Jones with marked coolness. The first time I met him my behavior seemed to puz zle the pampered youth. The second time he appeared distinctly grateful. On the third he asked permission to call, and I went home at peace with all the world, even Fred. For five consecutive afternoons after that I sat by.the tea table in the back drawing room, attired in my best gown, expecting Perceval—in v*iu. On the sixth he came. “What a delightful surprise,” I said gushingly. I was a trille nervous from waiting so long. “Ab, thanks,” he remarked, look ing disappointed. And then mamma came in, and in spite of my previous warnings fin ished things by treating Mr. Jones as if he were Albert Edward or Mark Hanna or at least a royal duke. Mamma never could resist a million aire. Our visitor took his leave in less than half an hour, and I know that unless I adopted jlesperate measures Perceval Jones was lost to me for ever. But I’m not one to give up easily, and after thinking hard thinks all night I finally hit on a plan and went to sleep at daybreak and slept till noon ns sweetly and as innocently as a child. Early in the afternoon I telephoned to Maud and asked her to go with me out to the golf links at 4 o’clock. Then I telephoned to Fred to meet us there aud proceeded to make a .fetching toilet with a light heart. When we reached the links there was Mr. Jones (he had mentioned that he was going the day before). He was looking bored as usual, but cheered up when F treated him with haughty coldness. I eluded his attempts at conversa tion, however, and threw Maud in his way whenever I could. I was rewarded by seeing him seat himself by Maud’s side and commence a disquisition on Ibsen as Fred came round the hill on his bicycle. Nq sooner did Fred’s eye light on the couple than lie commenced to glare like a madman, and in spite of my innocent efforts to keep him away he wound up by being so outrageously rude to Mr. Jones that that gentle man was confounded and Maud went home in tears. As for me, I went to bed happy. My plan was working to a charm. A day or two later I got mamma to ask Mr. Jones to dinner and managed to have him take Maud out. That settled it; Fred treated Perceval in such an insulting manner that even he could hardly overlook it, and he left early, to mamma’s distress and my secret joy. After that I began to meet Perceval every time I went out of the house. No matter whether I walked or drove or rode a wheel, I was sure to en counter him before long, and he would escort me on my way, leaving me al ways on our return at the end of the street leading to our house. “Since your brother, who is your guardian, dislikes me so, I cannot go to your home,” he would say regret fully, and I would blush and stammer an apology. “But I must see you in spite of him.” Perceval would add with a melting I w r ould go litjujo in the scvenffi Vfcavenf*”®* At last, after three weeks of this surreptitious courtship, Perceval could stand it no longer. “Be my wife, Rosamond,” he cried one day. “Never mind what they say at home; I must have you — 1 never knew what love was before.” Poor boy, he had never known tli« bliss of trying for what ho wanted, Before this it had always dropped intc his lap. But I couldn’t trust him even then. “Oh, no,” I said timidly. “I dare not, Fred would kill you if he thought of such a thing.” “Let him try,” said Perceval val iantly. “I’ll have you in spite of him. See, here is the minister on his porch, Rosamond. Come, darling, he will give me the right to claim you from your brother.” And before I knew what I was about I found myself in the minister’s par lor being married iu a bicycle skirt aud pink cotton shirt waist. Ten minutes later I walked into Fred’s office, leaving Perceval waiting outside, looking a little pale about the gills, but with a combative gleam in his eye. “Fred,” I remarked coolly, as I looked my brother square in the face, “I want to thank you for what you’ve done forme. I’m Mrs. Perceval Jones, by your leave.” 'Then a smile of incredulous relief spread over his face. “Gosh!” he ejaculated. “To think that the fellow actually wanted you!” Hot Men-of-VVar. I heard months ago that the hottest ship in the fleet around Cuba was the St. Paul—not her upper works, but down in the hold. But she was not a marker to the Cincinnati, in whose hold temperatures as high as 205 de grees were registered. In one ol the tirerooms was located a forced draft blower to which it was impossible to give proper attention on account of the intense heat.

Formerly caviar was all imported, but now it is made in considerable quantities in the United States. The weight of the roe is about ten to four teen per cent, of the sturgeon. The roe is taken from the fish, and thrown into tanks; it is then washed and rubbed through screens until the eggs are all separated. They ars then packed in kegs with salt and kept cool until it is c tuned. SCIENTIFIC AND INDUSTRIAL. A process has recently been patent ed by a Bradford (England) syndicate for removing wool from skins by means of an electric apparatus. Fire-engine manufacturing com panies have lately begun the construc tion of portable electric lighting out fits, consisting of boiler, engine and dynamo mounted on wheels. Experiments have been going on with an ingenious machine which shuts over a man’s eye so that the eyelid as it works opens and closes a chronograph. So far the quickest wink ou record is about oue-sixth of a second. There are eight inches more rain fall annually on the south shore of Lake Superior than ou the north shore, aud three inches more in the cases of Erie and Ontario. There is also a greater precipitation on the eastern shore of Lakes Huron and Michigan than on the western. A dispatch from Paris tells of some recent researches concerning cancer made by Dr. Bra, who finds parasites similar to those of cancer in fragments of diseased wood, particularly apple wood. The Government gave him permission to inoculate the forest trees with cultures of human cancer aud six months later he found spots of dry rot on the trunks, and one elm died. Dr. Bra forms no conclusion that anima! and vegetable cancers are caused by the same ftwigus, but the similarity is striking. A paper by Professor G. F. Sever and Mr. R. A. Flioss, read at the gen eral meeting of the American Insti tute of Electrical Engineers, gives valuable information regarding the relative economy of horse anil electric delivery wagons. They have found that the average delivery wagon cov ers a distance of about 11,268 miles per year, at a cost of 13.86 cents per mile for a two-horse vehicle. An automobile will cover the same dis tance for 2.65 cents per mile less, equivalent to $298.60 per year. A further advantage is the higher speed if the electric vehicles, enabling the deliveries to be accomplished with greater celerity. z The straggle for existence is a con test for carbon, in the view of M. Charles Bichet. The activities of life depend on the force set free by the burning of carbon and hydrogen in oxygen, these three elements being the essential foods, the oxygen being abunaant for all purposes while the available carbon is only oue three hundredth-thousandth as much. Life is a small quantity of carbon in very complex aud unsable combination. This carbon is continually uniting with oxygen in slow combustion, pass ing from one form to another and end ing in carbonic acid, which the sun’s heat, through the chlorophyl of plants, decomposes, the carbon reappearing, first in the vegetable, then in the ani mal, and so on. There is an inces sant circulation of carbon, kept in motion by the sun’s heat. Enthusiastic descriptions are given, according to the Philadelphia Record, of a new hand fire engine for use in suburban aud country towns where the public service is not within easy call, which has lately been brought out in England. This machine is portable, being mounted on a pair of strong iron wheels, aud can pump some fifty gallons of water per minute against a head of sixty-five feet, or, when used in emergency, can be forced to deliver one hundred gallons per minute. The engine rests on four iron feet, this position being effected by raising the handle of the carriage and lowering the boiler. It is of the quick raising steam type, and may be run up to a working pressure in a few minutes, which for emergency work is, of course, of great importance. The pump can be disconnected readily. The importance of mica in elec trical and other industries makes the discovery of now deposits of this ma terial a matter of some interest. One of the most recent finds of the mineral is iu Chautung, China. The Chinese make use of the substance only for lanterns and transparent pictures, and it has been found in several other parts of the empire, but the industry has never been developed. Hitherto permission has been refused to open mines, and the samples obtained have been acquired from the natives or from individual prospectors interested in the subject. The matter now, how ever, is said to be receiving the atten tion of European mineralogists, par ticularly Germans, aud the mines may be started under modern methods. Canada and India furnish the chief supply of mica, and there is an ever increasing demand for it. Bate to Red and Marly to Bine. Queen Wilhelmina goes to bed at eleven and gets up very early.
