of Lieut.. Wylie.
MACON, GA, Feb. Lice Lowenthal,
the young man who stabbed and killed a
gambler named Herman Bohnefeld in a
Fourth street dive Aug. IL, was put on trial
to-day in the superior court. The evidence
showed that Bohnefeld cursed Lowenthal
ana used very vile language. The latter
enraged, told his friends that Bohnefeld
would never see the sun rise again. The
stabbing occurred a few hours afterward.
Conviction is considered a certainty, but
the mitigating circumstances will probably
modify the sentence.

died Saturday at New Orleans, arrived here

SEVENTEEN ARRESTS AT SHARON.
Deputy Marshals Appear on the Scene
Armed With Winchester Rifles.

Armed With Winchester Rifles.
AUGUSTA. GA, Feb. 17.-This morning
at 4 o'clock United States Marshal Cor
bett Of Macon and five deputy marshals
appeared al Sharon, Ga, and arrested
during the day seventeen prominent citi-
zens Of the town and county charged with
conspiracy and intimidation against E. L.
DucE worth, the newly appointed post
master at Sharon. The marshals were
armed with Winchester rifles when they
began making arrests, but they met with
no resistance, q later in tie
day Marshal Corbett instructed his
deputies TO lay aside their guns, having
beea assur j by those under arrest aud
other citizens that the arrested parties
would acc )mpa1y them voluntarily wher-
ever ordered. The entire party arrived in
Augusta tonight and were taken to the
Arlington hotel They will have a hearing
tomorrow before United States Commits
sioner Irwin Alexander. United States
District Attorney Marion Z. Erwin will be
here TO prosecute the case. The warrants
are based on testimony taken by the post
office inspectors who have been at Sharon
for several DAYS investigating the case.
EDITOR wALsH's COMMENT.
The Chronicle will say tomorrow:
The citizens of Sharon foolishly showed their
Indignation against Postmaster Duckworth
because of the way in which he received his
appointment While claiming to be a demo-
crat he promised if appointed To support the
Republican party. On account Of his duphcity
they burned him in efligy. This was very silly,
but the action Of the government officials in
dragging seventeen citizens from their homes
is an outrage on the rights and liberties
Of the people. The President and Postmaster
General should be swift to condemn this exer-
else of arbitrary power. It savors of the So
called divine right Of kings rather than of
go vernment OF the people for the people, and
by the people The whole affair looks as if it
was gotten up to make little cheap political
capital at Washington.

Born for Each other.
From Me Kashinqton Star.

There are living in Washington a mar
ried couple Paul and Albina Hellmuth,
who were born at Baden, Germany, Feb. l,
1916, within four miles of each other. Even
through their childhood, playing in the
streets of the same town, they were strang-
ers to each other. In the course of events
they came across the ocean to the land of
promise, and at different times, and by
different paths they drifted to Washington,
where they met, and loved, and welded.
Upon comparing notes to take out their
marriage license they discovered, to their
mutual surprise and qualification, that
they were not only natives of the same
place, but rejoiced in exactly the same ages
to day.

A Point for Educating Girls.

FROM the Boston Gazette
Not long ago it was the good fortune OF the
writer TO attend base ball match between two
mines composed Of amateur players who years
ago were famous at the bat. in the field aud on
the bases. As the men walked out upon the
field in the uniforms that for years they had
not worn certain peculiarities common 10 all OF
them attracted my attention. The gait was
inclined to be mincing the waist line was
under the armpits aud not over the hips, the
head fell forward and tine shoulders were Q
little bowed and the back slightly bumped; the
forearms were thin and white, and the calves
of the legs had disappeared. The throwing
and catching and running reminded me strongly
of some other animal.
For several innings / watched these gentle
men, and as q ball was knocked at the short
stop, and as be put out his hands timidly and
then threw to first base gently dropping ball
instead Of on straight inc, the whole thing
revealed itself to me. They looked and acted
like womenl
There was the same physical timidity, the
same stllt-like running, the same awkwardness
in any feat that demanded that the hands and
arms be used over the head, the same care OF
legs and arms, though they we're brittle,
which one may remark when q woman chases
after street car or throws O ball, or attempts
any unusual gymnastics. IL occurred TO me
then and there that the early training OF chill
dren was largely at fault in making these diff.
ferences of physique between them. II as Q
man ceases to exercise he becomes, in his move.
ments, more and more feminine, ii is plain
that il he exercised in his boyhood and youth
no more than the average girl he would grow
up to be more like her in physique. And
again, il exercise is so largely responsible
for the difference, il must be true that the girl
could be brought up, if not to the masculine
standard. at any rate to q much higher stand.
