ALONG THE CHICKAMAUGA.
How an Obliging Conductor Ii
Darted Interest to the Journ,

How an Obliging Conductor I'm
of His Passengers.
Atlanta Journal.
"Now. Mr.. Conductor" said snap
pish-looking old lady, as she boarded
the sleeping car at Chattanooga, 81
want you to tell me the names of all
the places of interest we pass on the
way to Atlanta, for this, believe, is
the road along which Sherman
marched"
"Yes'm," replied j. B. jackson, the
conductor, as he cast his eyes at two
pretty girls with the old lady.
''Jane," said the old lady to one of the
girls, "you get a piece of paper, now,
and take down the names the gentleman
tells you."
"Yes, ma" replied the girl, with a
smile that made the conductors heart
ache.
"What stream is thatP" asked the
old lady, as the train passed over tres
tie.
"That's Chickamauga creek" replied
the conductor.
Take that down, Jane"
A half mile further another stream
was crossed.
What stream is that?' again asked
the old lady.
"Chickamauga creek" replied the
conductor.
Take that down, Jane"
"What stream is Jhat?'' interrogated
the old lady.
"Chickamauga."
The old lady began to look suspicious,
and said:
.'Take that down, Jane"
"What stream is that one yonder, run
ming into those woods; now we are cross
Ing it?''
"Chickamauga."
s'Take that down, Jane"
An ominouS silence followed until the
same creek had been crossed four addi-
tiOnal times.
Another stream was seen babbling
over the rocky bed.
With timid glance at the yellow
waters the old lady asked:
''And what creek is that?"
"Chickamauga," came the reply In de-
spairing tones. aid the girls looked like
they could bite the conductors head off
as the old lady said. snappishly:
''Take that down, Jane"
Another creek was crossed, but the
old lady said nothing. Still another
w do ClOooCO, Gilu OliC dShCu.
''And that stream is what?'
'Chickamauga."
''Take that down, Jane" was heard
In an almost inaudiblc voice.
Two more streams were passed, bu
the old lady was silent.
Suddenly her face frightened with
new hope as the train pulled up at lit
tie station.
.What place is thls?" she asked, con-
fidently.
'Chickamauga," ,"came themonotonous
reply.
"Jane, throw that paper out of the
window. That horrid-'
''Hold on. madame!" exclaimed the
conductor; and to save his scalp he had
to explain that the State road crossed
Chi camauga creek fourteen times be-
fore reaching the station of the same
name.
1t took the old lady some time to re-
cover her spirits, but she did after a
while, and the smile and the sweet
words she and her daughters gave the
conductor on leaving him in Atlanta
cheered him for many miles along his
WaV.

The Prison City Wants a WOolen
Factory-Pickings
A meeting of business men will be
held to-day to further consider the pro-
ject of establishing here woolen fact
ory. and it is expected that at this con-
ference there will be forthcoming re-
port from Messrs. F. NJ. Prince, Charles
Burns and J. S. O'Briep, committee
recently appointed to look up a suitable
site for the proposed factory and to re-
port on what terms the land could be
secured. The man who has enlisted
the attention of local capitalists in the
matter is woolen manufacturer of
much experience, and has $4,000 worth
OF machinery which he will place in the
Saltwater factory should the latter be
built. The entire amount of capital
necessary to establish the plant and
place it IN operation is figured at some
thing over S25, 600. If the scheme is a
go. as it seems probable it will be,
stock company may be organized. The
meeting of to-day will undoubtedly re-
suit in something more definite than
the late long-continued and non-cOnclu-
Sive talk and promises.
Joseph Wolf, owner of a portion of
the Main street site burned over on Sat
urday morning, will at once tear away
the remains of his building and erect a
good structure, 100 feet deep, which he
will probably occupy himself as a
wholesale liquor store. Glaspie and
Lyons, owners of the adjoining lots,
also propose to rebuild and may possi-
bly, unite with Mr.. Wolf in putting up
a block of uniform appearance as to
street frontage.
The cont act Tor building a bridge

WOMEN MoONsHINERs.
A Georgia Marshal Tells How tht
Men EmnIOv Them as Riiuds

A Georgia Marshal Tells How the
Men Employ Them as Blinds.
Atlanta Constitution.
The case of old Mrs. John Bracket,
the female moonshiner, brings out the
fact that women are used regularly in
the evasion of the revenue laws by men
engaged In Illicit distllling. District
Attorney Darnell was talking about it
yesterday.
THAT STILL" said he, sis situated very
near the house of this woman's son. In
all probability the still is the property of
her son. When the officers found ityshe
claimed it as her own, knowing that the
men would not arrest her, or that, even
if she was arrested, the public sympathy
and the sympathy of the court would be
with her, and, IN all probability, she
would not be punished.
sometimes the women have abso-
lutely nothing TO do with the still, and
yet claim it when the still is seized.
''In other cases the women are actu-
ally employed. The whole thing is run
under the direction of the men, and yet
| there is no way of getting at the men.
This practice is becoming pretty gen.
eral."
SIS there no way Of reaching the
men?''
"Well, 1t might be done in this way:
| The men might be arrested and brought
to trial, and. on oath, they would be
afraid to put the penalty upon the
| women"
Deputy Marshal Newt Mcdonald: re-
| Gently had case like this.
About last September he captured a
| still, and at the time Mrs. Elias Brady
and two daughters were at work in it.
Mrs. Brady, the officers say, had been
running the still for long while, and is
one of the best stillers in Habersham
| county. The women claimed that the
still belonged to them.
Elias Brady and his wife and Crawl
Farmer were arrested. The two daugh-
| tiers were left.
It was believed that the two men were
running the still, though both of them
protested that it really belonged to the
! women.
| When the case was tried, however,
| the men wilted, afraid to lay the blame
on the women. Brady and Farmer ac-
knowledged what the officers had be-
lieved all the time, that the still be-
| lOnged to them.
But even this is not always the result.
| For example, the case of Mrs. Victoria
| Henderson, who was arrested for rum
ming a still not long ago and put i'll Full
ton county Jail after pleading guilty be-
fore the commissioner at Gainesville
When she was tried before Judge New
man she pleaded guilty again. She was
sentenced and sentence suspended.
So the revenue officers are almost
without resource.
"'rhe only way" says Deputy Nc
Donald, ''is to punish one or two womer
| just as if they were men, and let them
know that this will be done every time
When the men understand this they
will stop using women as blinds and no
BEFORE"

AN OLD DECK OF CARDs'
A Chicago Sport Has Spent TWEEN
ty Years i'm Picking I'm Pack

A Chicago Sport Has Spent Twen.
ty Years i'm Picking Up a Pack.
Frank Damek, a member of the sport
ing fraternity of Chicago, has probably
the queerest deck of cards in the world,
says the Chicago Tribune. He has been
twenty years collecting the pack
and is exceedingly proud of it.
He first began by picking up
playing cards in the street when
he happened to run across them.
In this way he got fifteen or more be-
fore he began striking duplicates. Some
days he would find two or three. and
then it would be months before he
would see another stray pasteboard.
But he persevered, and always kept
his eyes open to add to his strange
collection. In ten years he had all
but thirteen cards necessary to complete
his deck. In the next three years he
considered himself lucky in finding all
but four. The missing ones were the
jack of clubs, the deuce of diamonds,
the eight-spot of diamonds. and the trey
of spades. In the course of another year
he picked upsthe eight of diamonds and
six months later was OverjOyeQ to find
what he at first thought was a full deck
of cards lying on the sidewalk on Dear
born street, between Adams and Jack
son streets. He thought his long search
was at an end and that he could easily
complete his wonderful deck. The jack
of clubs and the trey of spades were
there all right, but five or SIX
cards were missing, and among them
the deuce of diamonds. 1t seemed as
though he would never be able to secure
his fifty-second card, but the other day
he entered one of the suburban
trains on the Northwestern, and
almost the first thing he saw
was the deuce Of diamonds face
upward in the aisle. 1t was gilt-edged
and glossy-backed, the finest of them
all. He had been searching for 1t for
five and half years, and breathed a
sigh of relief. The pack is composed
of cards OF all qualities, from the cheap
est to the highest priced. Some are
clean and bright and others are soiled
and tuall yx-nrn

LONG AND SHORT HAULs.
Senator Paddock Seeks to Afford
Relief to Farmers,

WASHINGTON, Feb. Ex-senator Pad
dock introduced to-day in the senate
bill to amend the Interstate commerce
act. The amendment is intended to
provide relief for the farmers in the
West. who are unable at present to
market their crops on account of the
high freight rates prevailing on the
long haul. and which the railroads
claim cannot be reduced without de-
moralizing all short haul rates under
the interstate act. The bill provides
that the long and short haul clause shall
be amended so that in case of an inves-
tigation for an Infraction of that Sec
tiOn the commission shall be
obliged to consider cost of transpor-
tation and facts and circumstances bear
ing upon the market value of the pro-
duct, and that, If 1t appears that the
product is one of the necessaries Of life,
