Alabama will spend 81, 500 on her an
nual military encampments this year. There
was some fear that the appropriation would
be lost, but both houses have passed the
military bill carrying the amount named
for encampments. and Gov. Jones will sign
the bill. The populists fought the measure
from first to last. but better Judgment at
last prevailed. Money judiciously ex-
pended on the state military is always a
good Investment

GeorSiJ.
rom he sout6ern C1lItir1tor.


From the Southern C1t'tjrptor.
One Of the MOB prominent figures in
Georgia's history to-day, and one Of the
most deserving citizens Of the Empire state,
worthy of the high place he occupies in the
confidence Of the people, is Col. J. H. Estill
Of Savannah. By bis own well directed
efforts, sustained by Unswerving recatude
aud unwavering integrity, he mas carved
out his own fortune and made for himself
name that any one might envy. Guided
by devotion to principle. he
acts always up to the oour-
age of his convictions. For years he has
been an ardent Rdmirer OF ex-PreGident
Cleveland. and in the last struggle for the
presidential nomination he was the warm
advocate Of Mr.. CleVeland's nomination.
Should the President-eect regard personal
worth in the selection Of his ministers and
ENJOYS to foreign countries and send Col.
J. II. EstilI abroad, ir would be gratifying
- the people of Georgia 20 see him thus
honored, knowing that he would honor the
position and represent the government with
fidelity.

1t appears that the forthcoming naval
parade in honor Of Columbus and the Coll
umbian fair will be a much less extensive
and gorgeous affair than was calculated
upon. 1t was promised that half dozen of
the new ships Of the navy would be ready
in time for the review; the number has now
dwindled down to two. The New York
Herald says: The vessels available for a
certainty will number seventeen instead Of
thirty-seven, as promised by Secretary
Tracy in his annual report to congress
They are the Baltimore, San Francisco,

Fifteen young women acted as ushers at
Niblo's theater, New York, one night re-
Gently, and 'the innovation appears to
have been great success" according to a
correspondents ideas. The idea comes from
Europe, and the manager who is trying to
introduce the innovation in this country
says that, inasmuch as it has been success
full abroad, there appears to be no reason
why It should not succeed here. But it does
not follow because young women sell
theater programmes in London, and act as
ushers in Vienna and Paris, that they
may do so to the satisfaction of the
public in this country. America is
hardly ready to see its women
adopt all of the manners of European
women. .'Yankesdomn allows its women
sufficient freedom, but at the same time it
has ideas of propriety that are not to be
defed. In Great Britain the barmaid is
fixture, but America refused to have the
barmaid transferred to her shores. And so
it is likely to prove with the female theater
usher.

Postmaster General WanAmaker is try
ing to convince the committee on
postotfices and postroads that his Column
bian jubilee postage stamps are a great sue
cess. he points with pride TO the fact that
during the month Of January the total sales
of stamps was increased by a frac-
ton over 20 per cent, which he
attributes to the demand for the
new stamps. That month, 1t will be borne
in mind, was the first the stamps we're on
sale. They were something new. They had
been extensively advertised as 'works Of
art" as "short lessons in the history of our
country" etc. The peoples curiosity YES
aroused. They wished TO see what the
things looked like. and bought stamps for
that purpose. 1t would not have been sur
prising II the sales for the month had been
80 per cent. over the sales for the month
previous. But the January sales are not
the ones to calculate the success or failure
of the new stamps upon. Wait till June,
and see how the sales of the old and the new
stamps compare If at the end Of that
month the new stamps shall have increased
the sales 20 per cent, then their success will
have been demonstrated

Back From Exile.

About nine years ago the magnitude of
the defalcation of John c. Emo, at that
time president of the Second National Bank
of New York, startled financial circles in
that city. The amount he had stolen from
the bank was 81 ,945, 900. 1t was an immense
defalcation. 1t was greater than any de-
falcation before that time or that has oc-
CURED since. or course Emo got out of
harms way. He went to Canada and nas
been resident of Quebec all the years
since he became a criminal. His father
was very rich man, and paid the full
amount Of the defalcation.
Emo wants to return 60 New York to live.
He has surrendered to the courts in New
York and has been admitted TO bail. Has
be reason to think he will not be convictedl
The conclusion is that he has. He would
hardly have returned voluntarily TO stand
trial if he had thought he would be sent to
prison for a term of years.
On what does he bese a hope Of acquittall
Does he think the courts will be lenient
with him. or is it impossible now to procure
the evidence necessary to convict him3
Probably the evidence is wanting. Ger
ment with him Of any kind.
That he ought to be punished there is no
doubt. The district attorney Of New York
would be severely criticised if he should not
use every means in his power to secure his
conviction. But there is no reason for
thinking that that official will not do his
duty.
1t may be considered az certain that Emo
sees loophole for escape. The spectacle
will be presented, in all probability, of a
man who stole nearly So, O0O, 600 walking the
streets Of New York free and being well re-
celved by his old associates. A poor devil
who had stolen loaf OF bread to satisfy
his hunger or save his family from starva-
ton would be certain to be punished how
ever long the time might be between the
date of his otfense and the date of his trial.
A man who steals millions of dollars, how
ever is pretty certain to escape the penalty
for his crime Justice is not always dealt
out with an impartial hand.

by the assembly, was amended by Aid
Franklin 50 as to define what was
meant by pool rooms. The same gem
tleman also suggested that provision
against bucket shops be included in the
ordinance. Mr.. Doran said this was
carrying the thing a little too far. Aid.
Markham thought bucket shops should
be included the same as pool rooms :;
but no action was taken on the sugges-
ton. As amended the ordinance was
recommended to pass, and will be taken

" A1AC w OHdHs
". W. Mccoy, a negro barber with a
shop in the Colonnade building at St.
Peter and Tenth streets, was arraigned
III the police court yesterday afternoon,
charged with rape. The complaint was
made by Mrs. Bertha 1ygge, a woman
with a husband and two children. who
lives on Broadway near Mt. Airy street.
The story told by Mrs. Tygge is that, ac-
companied by Mrs. Hanson, who lives on
Mississippi street near Nash, she visited
the barber shop kept by Mccoy Thurs
day night for the purpose of scrubbing
out The shop. When they reached the
shop Mccoy Informed them that the
scrubbing had been done, but, as they
had been TO considerable trouble, he
would, if either Of them desired, dress
their hair. Mrs. Tygge consented,
and after Mccoy had sent
Mrs. Hanson home he locked the
door Of the shop and by threats twice
criminally assaulted Mrs. Tygge. When
she left the shop Mrs. Tygge reported
the assault to the patrolman on the beat,
but, as it was then II O'Clock and Mccoy
was not TO be found, she was told TO
come to the police court Friday morning
and get warrant. She has since been
confined 10 her bed. and late Friday
afternoon the Rondo street police ar
rested Mccoy without a warrant. w.
II. Mcdonald appeared as attorney for
Mccoy in the court yesterday afternoon,
