High Priced CHARTS.

The drummers OF school book publishing
houses are about as shrewd a lot of men as
can be found in any other business in the
country. 1t is alleged that they have sue
ceeded in getting notes for between $4,000
and $4,000 from unsophisticated county
school boards in different parts of the state
for charts that are comparatively valueless.
IL appears that the charts were sold at
prices ranging from S35 to $50 each. Ac-
cording TO the state school commissioner bets
ter charts can be purchased at retail at
from S12 to S15.
If the information the state school COM
missioner has is correct the drummers at
tempted to bride the leading members of
the school boards in some of the counties.
They offered them cash in some instances
to purchase a certain number of charts, and
in other instances they offered percentage
of their sales.
1t is not known IL any OF the members Of
the school boards were caught by the
brides. 1t would not be surprising if they
were, because the transactions were repre-
sented to them to be perfectly straightfor-
ward and honorable.
Ofcourse the notes would not be paid IL
fraud we're proved, provided they were in
| the hands OF the chart publishers But it Is
safe to say the publishers have sold all Of
| them long ago. Some of them were offered
| at 80 cents on the dollar, showing the profits
were enormous. 1t Is probable that all the
notes are in the hands of Innocent holders,
and will have to be paid. The state school
commissioner ought to hire guardian for
members of some of the school boards.

An April Rhapsody.

From the Chicago NetCS.
o. spring ethereal spring.
Whose praises all poets sing.
For thee l wake the tuneful Tyre
And smite its strings till perspre
AS, struggling thro' thy wealth of mire,
l drink thy beauties in,
While earth-reviving drops descend and drench
me to the skin.
Best season of the year,
When heaven seems ever near;
When geese and poets plume their wings
And soar above terrestrial things,
And the small boy his mud bali filings
Against my Sunday coat;
When locomotion is played out unless you own
boat.
Time when the heart grows young,
When natures harp is strung
And thro the calm and holy hush,
Like drowning rat ia a kettle OF mush,
Is heard the swish of the whitewash brush
And the old mans fervent prayer.
AS he tumbles over a bucket Of slush placed
halfway up the stair.
Sweet time Of bud and bloom,
Dispelling winters gloom,
When spring begins her gentle reign,
When birds are in the trees again,
And back to the school house in the lane
The schoolma an comes God bless her.
And the glib-tongued agent takes you in and
likewise the assessor.

The Strength of the Third Party

AAo obA OA4sSh Vi IuS 1nlTQ rarity.
Now that the third party has begun to
draw its sympathizers out Of the Democratic
and Republican parties, It is becoming ap.
parent that the third party is not quite as
formidable in this state as many thought it
would be when the third party men COM
menced to make their boasts about breaking
the backbone Of the Georgia democracy.
No doubt a good many good democrats
have been led into the third party by mis-
representations and promises that are i'm
possible of fulfllment, but the number is not
alarmingly large. Before the cam
paign is over it Is probable
that the most of them will be
back again in the Democratic party. In
fact. many who rather leaned toward the
third party have given up all purpose of
joining it. They have become convinced
that it is not friendly to the interests of the
south, and that the men who are at the
head of it are republicans in principal and
are much more interested in breaking up
the solid south and in getting into office
than they are in promoting the welfare of
| the people. There is certainly less reason
now for thinking the third party will play
an important part in the next election than
there was month ago. The alliance far
mers are beginning to think tue Democratic
| party is good enough for them yet
| awhile.

"Uncle Ruf1s' Hatch

Uncle Rufus" Hatch, probably the best
known poor man in Wall street, still fits around
the financial district, says the New York id
Uerttser, He has made no attempt to recover
any part OF the immense fortune that the sharp
men of the street stripped him of some years
ago. He rather glOr-ies in his poverty and laugh
ingly refers to the time when was rich"
The genial old financer looks very much the
same as he did when he juggled with millions.
His rudy face is frequently seen looking over
the LIQUID refreshment counter in Delmonico's
Broad street house, and his hearty laugh is
heard at regular intervals. 1t follows either
the grief of friend or one of his own Jokes,

The New York Herald prints q rather
peculiar story from its Amsterdam (Hol =
land) correspondent to the effect that an
American syndicate has practically bought
the island of San Domingo, and proposes
ito spring it upon the United States as a
campaign weapon somewhat upon the same
lines as those on which Beaconsfield secured
control of the Suez canal for England. 1"
The supposition In Amsterdam is that the
SO called syndicate is really the United
States government The scheme, it is said
In the dispatch, has been approved by Sec
rotary Blaine, D. o. Mills and Jay Gould,
but each OF these gentlemen denies that he
has any knowledge of it. The Herald itself
does not place much confidence In the accu-
racy OF the report and publishes it with
due reserve" Any such campaign
weapon" as al appeal for the acquisition of
territory in the West Indies would be apt to
do more damage to the party employing it
than to its opponents.

A Story of admiral semmes.

Oliver Semmes, a son of the doughty con-
federate admiral, has for twenty years been
judge of the city court of Mobile, says the
Chicago Tribune. After the war the admiral
himself practiced law at Mobile, and one day it
happened that he was arguing an importan mt
case in his sons court. The judge found it
necessary to rule against his father on some
point CO law, when the old gentleman lost his
temper and made some caustic references to his
sons legal knowledge. After a sharp tilt of
words between father and son the judge said:
"At home, sir. respect you-but want you to
understand that this court has no more respect
for you than the humblest citizen in the county.
Take your seat, sir.

Certain members Of congress who have
recently regarded an early adjournment as
fixed fact are beginning to change their
views and say it is not improbable that the
session will last through the greater part of
the summer at least. 1t is anticipated that
there will be protracted fighting over the
appropriation bills before agreements can
be reached between the Senate and the
House, besides which there may be long
discussions in the House itself over some of
the bills. There appears to be tendency
on the part of some of the extreme econo-
mists TO cut down the river and harbor
bill This will be warmly combatted. The
bill. as reported, appropriates a sum very
much below that carried by the river and
hsrbor bill of the last House. and as the
appropriations are principally for works of
the first Importance, it is to be hoped that
it will be passed IN its present form.

1t is to be hoped that Gov. Northen will
be successful in his efforts to obtain the ad-

burned machinery hall of the Georgia
archaeological School at Atlanta. 1t would

been receiving instructions in that depart
ment if they should be compelled to wait
year before resumiug their studies where
the fire cut them of, as they may be, if the
work of rebuilding is not begun until q
legislative appropriation is passed.

The Third Party Movement.
From the St. Louis Republic DEM }.

Every democrat. of course, must oppose this
plan and all similar plans involving federal
socialism with despotic powers over the states
and their people, but it will be just as WELL we
think, not to crack the party whip too vigor-
ously just now. We do not believe that there is
any danger that the south will split so as to go
over to Harrison and the force bill in Novem-
Der, but it must not be forgotten that the dis.
tressed farmers who have been temporarily
taken with the Ccala Iunacies, have been good
great and Just grounds of complaint, and that
party which has no control in the federal gov
eminent and no present power to remedy their
wrongs would best induce patience in them by
setting them an example OF patience in dealing
with them ---

other nations of the would to join in
monetary conference for the purpose of
definitely disposing of the silver question
Neither the personnel of the commission on
the part of the United States, the place nor
the time of meeting has yet been deter
mined. 1t is believed that if the President
has signed the invitation he has undoubt-
eddy done so with the Endorsement and CO.
operation OF England. Senator Allison
says the President undoubtedly has author
ity to organize or join a conference without
action by congress.

it is won, and the plain, straightforward
doctrine Of democracy preached to all

made to convince those two of the fallacies

Women as Jurors
From the Rnltfmore Sun DE,

From the Baltimore Sun (Dem.(.
The recent cases of crimes committed by
women have directed attention in England to
plea for permitting women to serve as jurors.
In cases involving the guilt or innocence of one
OF their own sex the services of female jurors
might prove valuable They would know
exactly when justice should be tempered with
mercy, aud would not be so apt TO succumb to
the appealing chances of a fascinating culprit
as is the average male juryman.

A Lame Excuse.

The leading silver senator is Mr.. Stewart.
OF Nevada. When ever an opportunity pre-
sents itself he makes himself heard in condem-
nation Of the gold bugs of Wall street. In
deed. he is quite prompt In calling those who
do not agree that the free coinage of silver
would be a good thing for everybody "Wall
street thieves
But it turns out that Senator Stewart is
a good deal of a gold bug himself. The fact
was brought out very clearly the other day
that he loans good deal of money in h 8
section of country all of which is made
payable in gold.
The senator's talk and his practice are
very wide apart. He wants the coinage of
silver made free because be desires a better
| price for the product of his silver mines,
but when he loans silver he is careful to
make a contract that it shall be repaid In
gold. Why is it the senator has no conf
dence In the kind of money he wants to
compel the people to takel
When asked why his money loaniug
contracts call for the payment of the
money in gold he said that it
was the custom to make such
contracts in his part of the country. But
why should it be the custom there9 II the
silver mine owners are so anxious for free
silver coinage why do they in practice show
they have more confidence in gold than in
silver?
The truth Is the silver men do not believe
what they say about silver. The leading
ones of them are largely interested in silver
mines, and the purpose they have in view
in agltating the silver question Is TO get
more for the product of their mines.

certain, but it has been ascribed to the fact
that when the court ladies went to see the
country fairs at St. Germans they noticed
how becoming was the -four with which
the players used to cover their hair, so as to
give themselves a droll appearance. The
ladies noticed how the whitened hair set
off the coloring of the cheeks and gave an
added brilliancy to the eyes, and they bor-
rowed the fashion from the players Pow
der was worn for nearly two centuries, so
that there is great variety of choice in the
style of hairdressing one adopts at a fancy
ball.
The sketch shows a toilet suitable for
powder balls, and at the same time good
for other occasions of full dress. 1t is in

embroidered with punches of mauve flowers,
and plain plisse white gauze bodice The
trimming, as designed, is made of pansysr

AN IDEA FOR BREAKFAST.

Apple crusts are excellent for break
fast or for simple desert. Cut the crust
from small slices of bread of medium
thickness, spread them with butter and
sprinkle them with sugar and a little
spice of some kind. Pare tart apples,
cut them in pieces the size of the bread
squares and scatter with sugar and a
trife of spice. Bake in the oven until
the apple is cooked, and serve hot.
Other fruits that are quickly cooked or
preserves may be used in the same way,
omitting the spice. If peaches or a
fruit jam are used, hot sauce, whipped
cream or a meringue, added to the crusts
after they are taken from the oven, will
change this simple into quite an elegant
sweet dish. The apple crusts are spe-
cially nice for children's desserts. New
