The tax returns of Richmond
county show a falling off of $780,
$50 since last year. The decrease is
occasioned mainly by the failure Of
bank and factory, and lower assess
ments. This loss in Richmond coun-
ty will offset small gains in a dozen
or more other counties.
Louis Henke, first baseman of the
Atlanta base ball club, in game

A prominent physician. of Athens
says that he has frequently of late
been called in to see young boys suf-
fering with diseased Threats, and
every case can be traced to cigarette
smoking. Many of the youths are

poisoned with arsenic contained in
the wrappers. 4 gentleman this

Mr. Sneed, of Berrien, introduced
a bill in the House $40 decrease the
evils of the base ball mania" 1t pro-
vides that every base ball club in the
State playing for hire, money or in
any manner, be taxed 500 for every
game played, and that any club play
ing a game without paying the tax
shall be guilty of Il misdemeanor and
punished according to section 1910
of the code. The money raised in
this manner is to be devoted to the
public school fund. This bill will
create about as big a sensation among
the base ball boys as the Bachelors
bill.
A lady in Thomas has homemade
evaporator that does finely. She had
a stove for one of her rooms without
a fire place, which she uses for the
work. She had made an air-tight
box, large enough to place this stove
in. In the box she had shelves
placed around three sides, upon which
she placed her fruit; on the other
side she had a door opening up so as
she could make fire in the stove,
and then closed the door, and in two
and half hours the pears were all
properly dried andready to put away.
Her box only admits of one bushel of
cut fruit at one time. The box could
be made larger, however, and made
to contain several bushels. She has
evaporated peaches, apples, figs and
pears. She pronounces it success,
and so do those who have seen her
fruit. Quitmdn Ne,c South.

Complaint Is made by inventors aud their
attorneys that the working force Of the
patent Office has been reduced and its ell
cheney seriously impaired in order to get
Democrats into Office without passing
through the channel prescribed by the civil
service law.
1t is well known that this branch Of the
public service is more than self-supportn :.
In other words, the fees eXactcd from ap-
plicants for patents and extensions not only
defray all the expenses Of the office, but
leave large and steadily-increasing bal
ance 10 be turned into the treasury.
Since the government is not taxed with
any actual outlay, but acts merely us the
trustee Of inventors and guardian Of the
peoples rights and since the work of the
Office is always in arrears and always hur-
Tied beyond the safety limit by reason Of
insufficient force in the various examining
divisions, il Is a serious wrong to the invent,
ors and blow to the great public Interests
dependent on this bureau when its manage,
ment shows detection from business
principles in the interest Of partlsHns OF
spoilsmen.

AN event which may cut prominent
figure in the affairs of Europe happened on
Friday last. The people of Philppopolis,
the, capital of eastern Roumelia, rose in a
rather quiet rebellion, and, without blood
shed or violence, depo5ed the sultan's
viceroy and set up provisional govern
men, which, having assumed undisputed
control of the prlncipality, proceeded at
once TO annex 1t to the domain of Prince
Alexander of Bulgaria, who has gone to
Philippopolis. All this is of course, the
work OF Russia, and it places the czar al
most at the gates of Constantlnople. The
action of the sultan and the powers on
this violation Of the treaty of Berlin will
be awaited with anxious interest.
