THE town of Hart, Ga, boasts a
notable specimen of the albino Negro.
The man was once pure black, but for
years his skin has been changing until
now he is white all over with the ex-
ception of few dark spots. Not only
is he white, but much whittier than most
white men, his changed skin being of
a clear, milky whiteness The trans
formation has been natural and un-
attended by any pain or inconvenience.

In continued use of the eyes, in such
work as sewing, typesetting, book
keeping, reading and studying, the
saving point is looking up from the
work at short intervals and looking
around the room. This may be prac-
ticed every ten or fifteen minutes.
This relieves the muscular tension,
rests the eyes, and makes the blood
supply much better.

DEFENDANT BECOMES PLAINTIFF
As is often noticeable in the police
court, many colored people brought
there for various misdemeaners be-
lieve in the sanctity ofier taiioais, and
it is not long before those fined man
age to trump up some charge against
their accuSer and cause them in turn to
open their purse. Last week a colored
youth named Brook Jackson was one
of the attendants at ball at the color
ed Odd Fellows Hall and having taken
q drink or two and placed his hat on
the back of his head imagined he was the
only autocrat present, and while labor
lug under this delusion became noisy
abusive and finally called the wife of
the caterer, Benz. Berry. an ugly name.
The latter slapped the slanderer in the
mouth and Officer Young entering,
arrested Jackson, who resisted, and
locked him up. He was fined s. next
morning. To-day Jackson appeared
III court as complainant against Berry
whom he charged with selling liquor
without license. Several witnesses
were examined, most of whom averred
there was a suspicion" of liquor in
some decoction called lemonade which
Berry was selling. The latter in his state
ment admitted the potion was spiked;
that he had put pint Of whiskey to a
gallon of water, few lemons and some
sugar. Mayor Strauss fined him s.
(the smallest sum he could impose) for
selling liquor or any Of its decoctions
without license.

Gen. John r. Brooke, .. S. A, COM
prising battalion of artillery and ma
rines. not mounted, serving as infantry,
light battery and squadron of cav
airy, and the District of Columbia
National Guard, under command of
General Ordway. The President will
be saluted 1t must be borne in mind
that this salute is not for Mr.. Cleveland,
but for Mr.. Harrison, as he is still Pres
ident.
The march to the Capitol will then
be taken. General Brooke and the
regulars will lead the way. Then will
follow the President and the President
elect, the Vice-President and the Senate
committee of arrangements, the men,
bers of the Cabinet, the major general

the inaugural will be delivered and
President Cleveland will ride back to
the White House.
Mr.. Cleveland will now be President.
He will ride down to the Capitol on Mr..

ident will ride between two solid walls
of people, comprising probably half
million souls. They pack great stands
holding many thousands each, which
are placed at intervals from the Peace
monument to Washington square, a
distance of three miles They will line
the sidewalks and will fill every win
dow and every roof.
Behind the President will come the
thousands of marching men. The low
est estimate which the army officers
who have assisted Marshal McAIahon
in the formation of the parade will
make of the number of men who ought
to be in line is 5000. The President
will review the parade from the grand
stand In front of the executive mansion.
On it will sit most of the distinguished
men of the incoming and outgoing adj
ministration and their wives. Each
organization must march on past the
