A GRANT ELEoToR OsTRAnIsED IN
GEoRGIA.-At the session of the SUPERB
or Court held at Lincolnton, Georgia,
Col. A. I. Alderman addressed the court,
asking that case in which he appeared
as attorney might be continued, as he
had been informed by the landlord of
the hotel that large number Of citizens
of the county had threatened to with
draw their patronage if he entertained
him at his house. The objection was
purely ON political grounds.
"For my politics" said Col. Akerman,
81 am responsible to my conscience
As long as my conscience approves them
/ shall not change or modify them in the
slightest degree to humor the citizens of
Lincoln county who have interfered be-
tween landlord and guest, | am not
willing to be the occasion of injury to
him. | am not disposed to inquire into
the extent of my rights under the law
prescribing the obligations of inn-keep-
ers. There is no private family here
whose hospitality | would ask or accept
in the present circumstances. Being I'M
able to attend to my business in this
Court for the reasons that have given,
| request that the cases in which | am
employed may stand continued for the
| term"
Gen. Toombs opposed the petition, but
Judge Andrews granted the continuance,
expressing deep regret that so able and
skillful practitioner should be thus
treated in civilized community. Col.
Amos T. Alderman is we'll known in New
England. He is native Of Portsmouth,
N. H., and a graduate of Dartmouth
College in the class of 1912, but a resi-
dent of Georgia, where he has always
been welcome in the most refined socie-
ty, for nearly if not quite quarter of a
century. He is gentleman of culture,
but during the war was unhinchingly
loyal, and his position as elector has
called down upon him the petty ven
geance Of the people.
THE REGISTRATION FRAUDS IN New
YoRK.-The increase in registered votes
in New York city is more than 80 per
cent over last year; in Brooklyn tits lit
tie less than 80 per cent. OF course
much of this is fraudulent, and here is
the way some of the frauds are contriv-
ed In the sixth ward, which has less
than 1000 legal voters, 1851 names are
found on the registers. Fifty persons
registered from single house, where on
ly nine actually live. Vacant lots are
made to team with population in these
days. Twelve persons who do not live
at the Spingler House registered there
Even that most infamous place, 119 Mer-
Ger street, turned out complement Of
men to be registered and old director
les have been so industriously used that
numbers of dead men are on the register
lists. Private residences of prominent
politicians have been used in the same
way. Five persons register from the
house of Supervisor Tweed. Five more
date from the residence of Police Justice
Shandley. Eleven are enrolled as from
the house of Coroner Patrick H. Kee-
nan. All these places are in the seventh

ming full of reading at once pleasant
varied and wholesome The publishers
have succeeded in making a magazine at
a low price, which, In point of mechan

to their own taste and judgment, and it
is proving itself real contribution to
the sound and elevated literature upon
which the true education of the people is
so largely dependent. Messrs Lothrop

$500 as premium for the best juvenile

manuscripts, and will probably find
themselves with considerable material on

form of new and valuable books bearing
their imprint. .....,.
