His shirt-studs Wrong.
Philndelnhin Record.


1t is good thing when ''the first gen.
tleman in the land1 is a gentleman.
There is no doubt about President Ar
thurs right to this title. He satisfies the
most eXacting. l was particularly struck
with his charming manner and perfect
courtesy at the wedding Of General
Drums daughter Wednesday night. In
the first place, the flowers he sent were
exquisite and evidenced a careful Sc
lection. Then he himself wore a daisy,
the flower of the bride, whose name was
Margaret, in his buttonhole, What he
did throughout the evening was the proper
thing to do, and he said nothing but what
was appropriate-all this without being
conventional, And his patient, polite,
gentle, manly way under the trying cir
cumstances always surrounding lion
was very graceful and restfui amid so
much business. BY the way, l observed
that the President still wore the three fiat
gold studs in his shirt front, although the
fashionable society men are wearing
either one or four studs. But the old
fashioned courtesy covered his old-fash-
toned studs.

QUEER SCANDAL CASE.
A Family in Fort Gaines Receive Over
1000 Anonymous Letters.

Macon, CO.. Special to n 7. Times, 14tA.
Fort Gaines is in the midst of social
sensation. Mrs. L. Hill. her daughter,
Miss Benlay, and an old maid sister, Miss
1ndler Brooks, compose one family, NOV
ing in the best circles. Mr.. w. NJ. Speight,
one of the best known business men of
Southwest Georgia, is an intimate
friend Of the family, and has
latch-key. One night six years ago
the ladies saw a man peepfng through
a window at them, but he disappeared
too quickly for recognition. His tracks
corresponded with Speight's. The second
night afterward a missile struck
the door. On picking it up
letter was found attached warn
ing Mrs. Hill that her daughter, Miss
Benlay, was in the habit of meeting young
men. From that day to this these letters
have continued, over 1000 having been
written, all OF the most obscene character
and always coupling Speights name with
that of Miss Benlay.
Mrs. Hill appealed to Speight for direc-
tons what to do. He always insisted on
her keeping the matter secret. Its publ
cation, he said, would ruin her, and her
daughter should not marry nor keep COM
pany with other young men. From time
to time he would, in conversation with
Mrs. Hill, throw suspicion upon Leading
young men of the city, until at last there
was scarcely one who was not brought
under suspicion. Whenever Speight visited
the house letter followed the next day
detailing the conversation, which Speight
would clear away by saying young
men must have listened under the house
to his talk. Thus the women were gradu-
ally shut out from all other society, and
confined to that of Speight alone. Miss
Benlay made several visits to distant
parts of the State, and wherever she went
letters followed her. She once visited Co
lumbia, at the house of j. t. Walker, and
was no sooner there than an anonymous
letter was received by Dick Walker, con-
tanning aspersions on her character.
At last the young men of Fort Games
came to the conclusion that something
had to be done to set this scandal at rest,
and a committee, consisting OF l.. l..
SutIYe, n. H. McLendon, w. A. McAllis-
ter, j. B. l.. Allen, j. II. McLendon, A.
w. Heuer, g. S. Sutlive and J. w. SUIT
live, began an investigation. They soon
spotted Speight as the guilty party, and
summoned him before them. Their re-
port was that Speight was the guilty
person. He then called for legal lnyesti-
CATION, when arbitration was agreed upon,
the arbitrator to be parties outside of
the city. The arbitrator chosen
were James n. Bigbee, r. NJ. Brown, j.
E. Paulin, G. II. NarremOre, and w. NJ.
Tumlln, who heard evidence under 0ath.
AS Speights connection with the affair
could only be proved circumstantially
the arbitrators found him not guilty, eX-
cept in one instance, which he acknowl-
edged, and for which they censured him.
The arbitrators also found that the Hill
family was Of the highest character and
worthy of the deepest sympathy, The
Fort Gaines Tribune is hot against Speight,
as are most of the people. Speight is SUI
perintendent of Sunday school. The
end is not yet.

The press regulations recently issued
by the Japanese Government are causing
much dissatisfaction. The proprietor, d.
rector, editor, printer, writer and trans
lator of newspaper are all to be consid-
cred equally culpable in respect of an
offense. Again, if one of several papers
published by the same company or indi-
Fidual be suppressed or suspended, all
the others are similarly treated, All per-
sons connected ina responsible position
with a prohibited journal are debarred
for two years from having anything
to do with the public press. Ed
itors are compelled, under heavy
fines, to keep original manuscripts, for
three weeks for the inspection of the po-
lice, and are required to state the source
from which an item of news is obtained.
The Ministers Of War, the Navy, and For
eign Affairs may, at their discretion, issue
a general order directing editors to alb
stain from discussing, under any circum-
stances, the affairs of the departments.
Substituting journals and other insidious
methods of tampering with the press
having failed, this measure has been de-
vised to stamp out the free expression of
public opinion,

journalistic Matchmaking.

An extraordinary development has re-
Gently been made in Berlin. A trial in
that city disclosed the fact that pleas
ing assortment of sol djSdAt journalism,
including a college man, a Socialist, a
doctor Of laws, an ariStOcrat, and others,
had endeavored to build up the falling
fortunes of their journal by the most in
famous system OF blackmail-
ing ever invented by human in
genuity or rascality. Having in
stituted a regular code of espionage
into private and business affairs, the
modas OperdRdi was to demand money or
reputation. Large sums rewarded this
infamous traffic, and had it not been hap
PLY discovered in time they would I'M
doubtedly have become rich. Blackmail
is an extremely old CRIME. 1t was an i'm
post formerly submitted to in parts
of Scotland and the north of
England as a compromise with rob-
bers. A class of men, often belonging
to families in good standing, levied tax
upon their neighbOrs on the preteXt of
protecting them from cattle thieves.
The celebrated Rob Roy was one of
these blackmailers. In modern usage.
blackmail signifies money eXtorting
from a person by threats of accusation
or exposure in the public prints.
Those who practice this eXtortion are said
to ''levy blackmail,' Referring to
the Berlin blackmailers, the New York
Commercial AdcertiSer justly remarks
that lit is somewhat comforting to think
that however common such a crime may
be in this and other large cities in the
United States the profession of journal
ism is comparatively if not wholly free
from its degrading and demoralizing in
fuence." In ingenuity also the German
blackmailers above described would ap-
pear to be able to give the American
specimen many points and then beat him
at the game.

Evans and his man Horton" is the
way good Republican papers speak of the
successor Of General Raum. Mr.. Evans,
when he accepted the Office of Commits
sioner of Internal Revenue, and got fairly
fixed in his place, intimated that he
intended to run his Office to suit himself,
and if the President didn't like it he
might call for his resignation. He also
declared that he didn't care what the
newspapers said. 1t would &c interest
ing TO know if Mr.. Evans is in the same
frame of mind he was a month
or so ago. The newspapers have given
him a pretty thorough shaking up, and
have, perhaps, taken some of the conceit
out of him. He certainly isn't so rash in
this talk as he was when he first took
office. 1t wouldn't be pleasant for him to
20 back 20 kentucky as private citizen
after going 10 washington with such a
flourish of trumpets, ana yet it is limited
pretty broadly that, instead of the Horton
case. Mr.. Evans himself is the embarrass-
ment of the administration. The situation
is that Mr.. Evans must change his tactics
or resign.

Georgia and Iowa,

Dubuque (I01ed) Times, llth.
The editor of the Atlanta Constitution,
Col. II. T.. Howell, recently made a very
happy speech in Des Moines, in which he
said that during his trip through the
Hawkeye State he had met some of the
cleverest men and handsomest women he
had ever seen. The Colonel observed that
there is a large number of Republicans in
Iowa and large number of Democrats
in Georgia. If the Republicans of Iowa
would swap their corn for the cotton of
the Democrats, and the Georgia boys
would marry with the iowa girls, the
result would be such a cementlng to-
gether of the two sections that no power
on earth could ever again make a sue
cessful effort to separate the two States.
The Colonel spoke more wisely than he
knew. Iowa has corn to spare, though
about making an even exchange of Iowa
girls for Georgia boys there might he
some difference Of opinion in view of the
fact that this State now has 1857 more
boys than girls. Georgia has 1928 more
girls than boys. 1t is fact worth noting
that at the time the last national census
was taken the two States of the Union
nearest alike in population were Iowa
and Georgia, the former with pOpula-
ton of / ,624, 6l5 and the latter with 1,542,-
