GEORGIA FAIR OPENS Ushered In With Big Parade and Eloquent Addresses. THE FIRST DAY WAS A BIG SUCCESS State Fair of 1899 Biggest and Best In the History of Georgia and Agri cultural Association. The Georgia Stale Fair was opened in Atlanta Wednesday with all the splendor of procession, eloquence of speech and animation of interested spectators that could have been wished for, and the events of the day were such as will long bo remembered by thousands who witnessed the parade, listened to the speeches and viewed the countless interesting exhibits which make the Georgia State Fair of 1899 the biggest and the best in the history of the state. The advance guard of the visiting contingent b gan to pour into the city Monday and kept coming all day Tues day, and on Wednesday—hours before the parade—the business streets were crowded with strangers, attracted to Atlanta by the fair, and Exposition park was thronged with a heteroge neous mass of moving humanity that swarmed through the buildings, in vaded the Midway and otherwise put in the time before the exercises as their inclinations prompted. Everywhere the crowd went,whether it was to inspect lhe interesting ex hibits in the manufacturers’ building or to gaze on the queer sights on the Midway, the unanimous verdict was that Atlanta in providing Georgia with the state fair had accomplished a task the completed results of which would be felt in the south for years to come. The day at the grounds was brought to a fitting close by the formal cere monies at the auditorium, where a large crowd gathered to listen to the brilliant speeches of Chancellor Wal ter B. Hill and Hon. J. Pope Brown. The big military and civic parade which ushered into existence the fair was complete and brilliant. Long be fore the hour of 2 o’clock, when the parade was scheduled to start, White hall and peachtree streets from Mitch ell to Fourteenth street were thronged with surging humanity. The formal opening of the gates found hundreds already in the grounds. The soldiers and the civic organiza tions made a magnificent showing and the parade was in every way a big success. OFFERS TO SELL OUT. Filipino Commander Sends Unique Pro posal to General Otis. A Manila dispatch says: General Otis has received messages purporting to come from the general, Pio del Pilar, offering to sell out his army and to deliver Aguinaldo into the hands of the Americans. Although be is not satisfied that his offer is authentic, it I is not improbable. The policy of General Oris is firmly set against ’buy ing any surrenders. Pio del Pilar offers, sot the sum of $50,000 to refrain from attacking Ma- j nila; for $250,000 he offers to surren- I der his army after a sham battle, both i sides firing into the air, and for the , sum of §500,000 he says ho will pro- I cure the overthrow of the insurrection j and the capture of Aguinaldo, and the I other leaders. I In the course of the communication he reters to Aguinaldo in contemptu- i ous terms, indicating that strained re- ! latipns exist between them. Reports 1 are being received from the districts j occupied by the enemy that the Fili- '• pinos believe that Pio del Pilar has an audacious plan to break through the American lines into Manila and seize Leneral Olis and the archbishop. Possibly these rumors were started | with the idea of helping him to make I a deal with the Americans. It is un necessary to say that the Americans would welcome an attack of that sort. There has been much speculation of late regarding the whereabouts of Pio del Pilar. The recent attack at La Loma is credited to him. It is believed that he is now in the vicinity of San Mateo valley with a force of from 1,800 to 3,000 men. FRENCH MURDER BRITON. A Tragedy In Paris Stay Cause Interna tional Muddle. A dispatch to The New York Times from Paris says: “A great sensation has been caused here by the murder of an Englishman named Derrick by French detectives nt Dieppe. Derrick was so shocking ly injured that an unusual surgical operation had to be performed npon him, with the result that he died. “The British consul is attempting to bring the murderers of Derrick to justice. English feeling is intensely excited about the incident, which is likely to have important international consequences. ” ? a i i Pities I Sick headache.

Electrical Shaving? and Hair-Cutting Appliance*. The French are said to be equlpp'ng their shaving ami hair-cutting saloons with complete sets of electrical appli rnces. In a Faris shop, recently fitie I up, hot water is obtained by passing the stream of a hydrant through a Ger man silver tube in a soapstone case. The tubing is electrically heated, so that the water is nearly boiling when it passes out of the spigot. The old heating irons, which often burned the hair, are no longer used for curling. The electric curling irons which have taken their place are safe and sure, as they can be brought to any tempera ture, which they will retain Indefinite, ly. Scissors are out of date, and the cutting of hair is now done by clipping machines, the speed of which can be regulated to a nicety by the operator. Where it is desired to singe the hair, ! the clipping machine gives place to the electrically-heated platinum wire, which passes across the teeth of a me tallic comb, the comb takes up a ; quantity of the hair, holding it for tin Instant; the barber's man presses a ! tiny button at the end of the comb, ; and there Is an influx of current which heats the wire. As the wire approaches red heat '.he hair is burned off neatly ami smoothly, nnd its ends are sealed up in the most approved fashion. —Bos- ' ton (Mass.) Journal of Commerce.

Tommy Atkins, more especially the Irishmen of that name, manages often to work In a little humor in conjunc tion with discipline. The Royal Innis klllen Fusiliers were marching to their musketry camp and halted for tlie night at the little town of Kesh. The surgeon captain attached to tho regi ment for the march preferred to sleep in the hotel, and his tent was not pitched. Four men were told off next morning, however, according to cus tom, to strike the doctor's tent, and, marching to the spot where it should be, found a vacancy. ‘'Where does tlie doctor stay, anyway?” asked the old soldier of the party, and he was told that the doctor had slept at tlie hotel. When the surgeon captain came out of the hotel he found the old soldier a-nd the three other men waiting out side, and asked them what they want ed. “Party to strike the doctor’s tent,” replied the old soldier. laconi cally. Whether the four gallant Fusili ers had intended to pull down the ho tel as soon as the doctor was out of it did not transpire, for they were sent off nt once to their company.—London Telegraph.

A man who was walking along tho ■ banks of the Lea, in England, recently ' learned a new trick of bargemen. He | says: “A barge came past, and fast- ; sned behind was a toy boat about two I feet long. I thought they might be | trying how it sailed, but a little later | another barge camo along, also witli a toy bpat astern, while, to my great sur prise, a third barge arrived with yet another toy boat at the end. I thought to myself they cannot all be trying to see how they sail, nnd so I followed the barge, and, just as it was turning from the Lea to enter the Stort, the bargee hauled tlie toy boat In, nnd with * it a spoon bait, which a ‘Jack’ of four : pounds had taken. Under Bylaw 11 of the Lea Conservatory this is rank poaching.” ZZ V GAVE little thought to my health," writes Mrs. Wm. V. Bell, 230 N.
