There are certain parts of the town in which it is impossi- ble to go along the streets after nightfsll without being acoosted by some of this class of fellows who are hanging around after nothing but money for drink. A night or two ago two fellows asked a prominent resident for the 'sprice of 8 nights lodgings," and when the gentle man started to show them to the Aesoci- ated Charities ran away as fast as they could. This class of beggsrs only want money to buy lieuor and the authorities warn the public against them.

There is quite craze for street railroad properties ln this state just now, which has caused people to think railroad properties more valuable than they really are.
 While I believe in 8 liberal policy by the legislature to electric railroads, yet 1t must be remembered that the time is not far distant when these very steam railroads will bs run by electricity, and you must move carefully.
 The hearing was st this point continued until to- morrow afternoon. Mayor Sargent snd Corporation Council Driscon of New Haven were present, but were not heard on the matter.
 Resolutions were passed in the senate approving Julius c. Cable judge and David Callahan deputy judge of the New Haven city court, and John P. Studley and Ho- bart l..

All of the above named gentlemen were heartily endorsed by Senator Fox from this dis trict, and received the unanimous vote of the senator's present and voting.

HOke Smith is the man that gave lion to
Atlanta! 1t is in Atlanta's Zoo to-day. 1t

called HOke Smith for short.
General John Il. Gordon was brave SOL

has been honored with Office and the COVER
norship of his State. But then Gordon
never gave lion TO Atlanta.
Rufus n. Rhodes IS the editor OF the Biz
mingham (Ala.) Daily News. He Is fat and
sympathetic, and was bora in Georgia. But
he never gave lion TO Atlanta.
HOke Smith did.
The Atlanta Constitution is a great paper.
Henry w. Grady was its editor; but he never
gave lion to Atlanta, though he was hon.
0red as one from there all through the
North.
Joel Chandler is an editor Of the Consti-
tuition. He Is world-famed as the writer of
Br'er Rabbit But Joel Chandler Harris
never gave lion to Atlanta.
And while all these men may be famed in
the world outside, none is known, looked up
to or respected in Georgia as much as Hoke
Smith for he gave the lion to Atlanta.

A CITY IN THE SKY.
Wonderful Mirage Observed in the
San JOAQUIN Valley.

Many accounts have been written and
many stories told Of tile wonderful freaks
produced by the mirage of the DESERT but
probably nothing In the range Of fact or
fiction is more wonderful than that which
am about to relate, and which was wit
messed by two other persons on the 21st day
of this month In the San Joaquin Valley.
While on board the train travelling from
Fresno TO San Francisco in the afternoon
the sun was shining brightly.
About 2 o'clock the train left Athlone, a
station ten mil es south of MERGED, and l
took seat on the right side OF the car and
was looking toward the foothills OF the
SIerras. Behind me sat a lady in deep
mourning reading a book. | do not sup
pose that the lady. her dress or the book
had anything to do with the transformation
which was about to take place, but while
wondering what dire calamity had made
the sable habiliments necessary | cast my
eye over the landscape In the distance, and
far to the front there appeared one Of the
most enchanting spectacles that my eyes
ever beheld.

appearance. extensive in proportions, beau
tiiul In situation and splendid In archltec-
ture, reflected in the mirror of nature. 1t
was standing uDon the bosom OF trans
parent sea of azure hue and every building
narrow and sharply defined. The tall
buildings were handsomely adorned with
facades which almost touched from either
sides OF the street, giving the city an appear
ance OF oriental grandeur. Church spires
and mDarets pointed upward, aud here
and there huge columns supported massive
structures. There was no appearance OF
life or animation visible.
l gazed upon this scene Of enchantment
for fully two or three minutes, fearing that
others might not see 1t and might be con-
sidered the victim Of an optical deluson.
Ii was so real. and withal so magnificent,
although | knew 1t was n phantom, that l
made bold to call the attention OF the lady
occupying the seat behind me TO the spec

looked up. and seeing il, was perfectly be-
wildered.

claimed, and called the attention of another
lady 10 1t, who saw it and became perfectly
enraptured. The attention Of others in the
coach was called to 1t, but they failed to
recognize anything unusual.
The train was moving al sneed OF about
thirty miles an hour. There were but few
in the coach, and i watched the transforma-
ton that / knew must take place. In less
than i've minutes the dismantling process
began. First the church spires disappeared,
and the beautiful city was transformed into
a magnificent castle, the blue water still
remaining as foundation. In this shape 1t

THE CLERGYMAN's MUSTACHE
The Allegation Is Made That It In.

London Telegraph.


Recently an attack was made by clergy
man on clerical boards, and priests who
wear these facial adornments were warned
that they wear stumbling block to their
congregations. This revealed a state of
matters serious enough in all truth. But
worse remained behind. A correspondent
In the leading church paper this week
grayely writes:
Il am convinced. after a great deal of
observation, that the clerical mustache in
particular has an injurious effect upon the
BRAIN" If this gentleman be correct the
reason of the deterioration of the human
race, and especially of parsons is at once
made apparent, for of late there has devel-
oped among men of all nations especially
clerical gentlemen, great desire to grow as
formidable muStacheS as bature and art
combined permit. Hence the decrease of
brain power. 1t also satisfactorily explains
the low position in the mental world oceu-
pied by the specimens of humanity called
''masherS' or dudes" who devote most
mustaches as belong to them. COnvOcation
is clearly bound 10 INQUIRE into this impor-
tant question, and il it be veritably shown
that the wearing Of mnstaches injuriously
affects the brain. nothing remains to be
done but to pass gravameD. an articulus
cieri, or whatever else may be necessary,
sternly prohibiting all clerical mustaches
under pain of communication. The same
gentleman says: Il can we'll remember the
general appearance of The clergy fifty years
ago. and | must say thar, whatever their
faults, they were more manly looking racs
than their mustached successors of to-day"

COLDS AND THEIR CURE.
The Best Way to Treat Cold Is to
Prevent 1t.
New York Recorder.


just at this time of year there is not q
more absorbing topic than colds and how
TO cure them.
An old nurse. whose remedies are looked
upon as infallble, was asked the other day
how to cure cold. and here is what she
said:
When cold once gets good start you
cannot cure it. 1t Is bound 10 run its
course for three weeks. like fever. The
time TO take a cold in hand is when the
first symptoms are felt. The best means of
treatment depends on the sort OF a cold
it is. For cold in the head the best thing
to do is TO steam the head. That is what
the doctors do. They use all sorts OF
appliances, but common tea-kettle
will do. When the water bolls move the
kettle TO the back of the stove, remove the
cover and hold the face over the steam. Put
a towel around your neck so as not TO wet
your garments, and keep your mouth open.
Keep this up as long as you can stand it.
Do it at night when you are going 20 bed.
If you do 1t and then go out 1t will be more
apt to aggravate than TO cure the cold. Ii
one could stay in the house and keep the
rooms at about the same even temperature
for two or three days nothing more might
be required.
In addition to steaming the face hot
bath should be taken aud dose of quinine.
This is one OF the few medicines that 1t is
safe to take without doctors prescription.
How much should constitute dose depends
altogether upon whether the patient has
ever taken 1t before or not. Almost any
one, though. can take two 2-grain pills night
aud morning. 1t must be discontinued,
though, just as soon as you begin to expert
ence ringing sensation In the ears. A
laxative is also necessary.
A cold on the lungs is even more serious
than cold In the head. liz it begins with
soreness and tightness OF the chest the best
thing to do Is to rub in, with the tips of
your fingers, mixture of vaseine and
turpentne. A hot foot bath, in which Two
tablespoonfuls of mustard 10 the gallon
have been dissolved, and hot drink should
be taken. If there is much pain, apply
ginger plaster to the chest. Ii there Is
dry, hard cough. steaming the face will re-
lleve it. AS the cough becomes loosen, a
cough mixture, made of mOlasses, butter
and an onion, all boiled together, should be
taken.
For simple sore throat there is nothing
better than to gargle II with salt and water.

There are no more contests Of skill. They
are simply slogging matches. think. how
ever, that If Mller's seconds had used
little judgment last night Miller would not
have been killed. 1t was apparent that he
was a beaten man in the ninth round, and
they should have thrown no the sponge

punished and stood no show of winning.
So far as | am concerned there Will be no
