Held as a Suspect.

A man giving his name as I. z. Walker
is held at the barracks under arrest to await
Identification. Walker corresponds in de-
scription to man wanted in Mississippi for
a car robbery, and for whom, it is claimed,
reward of 81 600 has been offered. The
prisoner is said to resemble a photograph
of the robber. although there is a difference
in the stature of the man wanted and of
the man under arrest The man wanted is
q feet 2 inches, Walker is 6 feet l inch.
Walker has employed p. j. O'Connor as
counsel. He strenuously denies that there
is any cause for his arrest or detention. 1t
is likely that matters will come to a focus
to-day, aud the prisoners identity will be
established or he will be discharged. He is
indignant over his arrest, which he says is
unwarranted.

AS Crazy as He Could Be.

Quite a crowd followed curious file Of
colored people into Judge Hampton Ferrilps
office yesterday. A colored man, bound
securely with a rope, which some six or
seven colored men held fast TO, led the pro-
cession. The prisoner was, to use cant
phrase, as crazy as loon. He seemed TO
take but very little interest in the proceed
ings, but with eyes cast upward kept re-
peatlng the statement that &c, 900 men rise
and set with the sun, and God is good. -"
The prisoner was John Golden, who lived
about four miles from the city limits, and
was brought in by his brother, Washington
Golden, who filed an affidavit of his
brothers insanity. The derauged man, who
is about IS years old, was committed to jail
for safe keeping, and an inquest Of lunacy
will be held tomorrow in the ordinary's

Kind Words for augusta.

The Augusta people are particularly kind
to the people of Savannah who visit the
exposition. The general turnout of the
Savannah military was an agreeable sur
prise to the Augustan' and the generous
support OF Savannahians is highly apprec-
ated by them. Mr.. James NJ. Reid, of
the purchasing department of the
Savannah, Florida and Western rail-
way, who returned from the exposition
this week after four or five days spent in
Augusta, says it is well worth a visit. The
industrial and agricultural displays, lie
says, are such as to make any friend of the
south feel proud Of the showing. Mr.. r id
says that Savannahians receive the most
hospitaDle treatment, and until his visit
to Augusta be had no idea Of the af-
finity existing between the two cities. The
people Of Augusta recognize the fact that
Savannah desires to sac the Augusta expo-
sition succeed financially, and are highly
pleased with the manner in which the Sa-
vannah press and Savannah people have
encouraged it.

colored man named William jackson. en-
ployed by Messrs. Smith 81 Kelly, was

Atlanta poets seem to have struck a new
fad, which is impromptu sonnets on the
Thomas cat. A MORNING NEWS reporter
was shown an effusion of this kind yester-
day received by a Savannahlan, in which

feline hero from the modest summit Of the

The First Razor.

The earliest reference to shaving is
found in Genesis xii IA, where we lead
that Joseph, on being summoned before
the king shaved himself. There are
several directions as to shaving in
Levitticus, and the practice is alluded
70 in many other parts Of scripture.
Egypt is the only country mentioned in
the Bible where shaving was practiced.
In all other countries such an act would
have been ignomlnious. Herodotus men
tions that the Egyptians allowed their
boards to grow when IN mourning. So
particular were they as to shaving at
other times that to have neglected it was
subject Of reproach and ridicule, and

of later age, the Egyptians did
not conine the privilege Of
shaving to free citizens, but obliged
lhelr slaves to shave 10th beard and
head. The priests also shaved the
head. Shaving the head became Gus
tomary among the Romans about $50 B.

canus was the first Roman who shaved
daily. In France the custom of shay.
