PROBABLY the most barefaced outrage ever
seriously suggested upon the property-hold-
ers of Indianapolis is the proposed Medina
stone pavement upon Washington street, 1t
will cost fully SIG front foot is of question
able utility for business street, and, in this
particular instance, is not only unnecessary,
but is a constituencies gouge. The PROPOSE
ton is little less than confiscation of the
property, which has been twice taxed for a
powdered street within few years, and also
for a sewer. There are ample mate
rails for the best kind of a road
way already on Washington street.
reduce the Crown" put there by blunder-
ing and incompetent engineering. This is
agreed to by a number of the property
holders, and by some believed a necessity;
but all are unanimous and emphatic in their
opposition to the Medina stone pavement,
which seems to be scheme entirely in the
interest of contractors, to whom a street in
repose is an eyesore. Councilman Stout is
reported to say that the ordinance for this
improvement will pass the Board of
Aldermen by a vote OF to 3. We do not
know either Mr.. Stouts authority for the
statement nor his interest in the ordinance;
but it is very remarkable fact that
somebody always claims to know in ad.
vance just how the votes will stand
in the councils upon these important
and costly schemes. We believe
there is more self-respect in the Board of
Aldermen than to vote such an ordinance
through in the absence of the slightest neces-
sity, and in the face of overwhelming oppo-
sition on the part of those vino have to pay
the bills To pass this ordinance would GER
tainly be a high-handed act by men whose
official existence is about to be terminated.

GEORGE CULLBNAN,. of Long Island City, is
only twenty seven, but what he doesn't know
about marrying aud clipping he will be able to
make up for before many more years elapse. He
was married and had one child. He went to
board in family and eloped with the hired girl
almost before she knew It, Two weeks later he
left her and clipped with another one. The wife
laid claim for him at the house from which he
first eloped, and on being informed that he had
eloped said she was not surprised as. he had
done so before. According to her idea he will
be back again soon, ready for business

THE murder at Chicago of Patrick Kinsley by
Sadie Raigh contains some lessons. Kinsley had
wontonly traduced the girl. The story was taken
up by the other walters, who made life burden
to the girl by their taunts. She at first thought
of appealing to the law, but soon realized that,
having no means with which to prosecute her
slanderer, she could accomplish nothing She
then appealed to the landlord, who advised her
to ignore the whole affair." But she could not,
as the night before the murder she had been
kept awake nearly the entire time by the jeers
of the other girls. She then drew her wages,
bought revolver and sought out Kinsey. He
refused TO retraot or 10 pay any heed to her
pleadings. She then shot and killed him. The
girl is represented as wholly above reproach in
her private character She certainly makes a
good defense when she declares that there was
no honorable recourse open to her.

To M. Vertan, of Paris is due the credit OF dis
covering hundreds, if not actually thousands, of
spurious paintings, or rather paintings sold
under false pretenses. The business of painting
after the style of "tbe masters" has become very
lucrative. There is one artist, he says, living in
the Latin quarter, who has made the fortune of
ten picture-dealers, with limitations of Leonardo
da Vinci, Zurbaran and other great masters.
However, the deceit is pardunable in practical
eyes, as the spurious pictures are only detected
in many instances by their being superior to
anything done by the artist initiated
AS result of painting "old" pictures,
M. Vertan estimates that there are annually
sold 1920 Daupignys, 500 Leopold Roberts,
1000 Troyons, 5000 Corots. $500 Theodore
Rousseaus, 1880 Rosa Bonheurs, and so on. He
declares that 20. 600 Daubignys at present exist,
and he expresses his opinion that century
hence there will be a million. bill was once
drafted TO prevent this imposition, but it never
became a law. SO the work goes on. There will
be few sympathizers for people thus duped. If
the picture is good enough to deceive, it is good
enough to have.

To the Citizens of Dawson.

Knowing the condition of our
town as regards sanitary matters
as I do; and knowing the conse-
quences if many things are not
abated; [ respectfully ask that
every citizen look especially after
the cleaning up of his premises.
| doubt not, there is on every lot
in town, something that will create
disease-that is already creating
unpleasant odors. Let every one
examine and have cleaned and
disinfected, by the use of lime,
coperas or some other disinfect-
ant, every privy, hog pen, horse
lot, accumulations of decaymg
matter of every kind, vegetable or
animal. No one should make
manure or compost heaps during
the warm months. If each and
every one will do his part, our
town will continue as it is-the
healthiest town in s. W. Ga. If
we neglect these matters we will
have cause to regret it.
Very Respectfully,
W. B. CHEAfHAM, Mayor.

Lieutenant Governor.

In last Sundays Constitution
we End the following interview
with Senator Parks upon the Dues
tionAof SO amending the constitu-
ton of the state as to create the
Office of lieutenant governor:
Senator Parks, Yesterday, in
speaking to 4 Constitution fepor-
ter of the bill, said that he Thought
the death of Governor Stephens
and the campaign following was
enough to show the necessity for
passage of the bill,
"But this has only occurred twice
in the history Of the state"
True" replied he. ''but the
small condensation the lieuten-
ant governor would receive, Would
not amount to as much in fifty
years, as would be the expense Of
holding one special. election and
having an extra session of the leg
islature."
What compensation do you ex-
pect him to receiver"
Simply the per diem of the
president of the senate, which office
be woald fill. This would give
forty-four senators on the floor, tc
take part in the proceedings Of
that body,every district having ther
Il repre- entative on the floor"
again, in the eventof the death
of the governor, his successor
would have already Been elected
by the entire people. TIE expeiist
and political excitement incident
to the holding ef a special election
to fill the vacancy would be avoid
ed, and the affairs Of the. stat
would move on without any inter
ruptioii whatever"
Tie bill receives d very favor
be consideration in both brlnch y
Of the Legislature, and the in lica
tons are that it will bssome
law"
