HON. w. 7. ATKINSON.

The democratic nomination for
Governor goes to Hon. w. Y. At
kinson, by virtue of the counties lie
has carried and the significant
withdrawal of General Evans, his
competitor, from the race.
Mr.. Atkinson has won tae nomi-
nation under great odds. When he
decided to enter the race, it looked
as if General Evans had everything
his own way, and that MIR. Atkinson
was exercising poor judgment to
enter the race against him. The
Atlanta daily papers and many Of
the leading papers OF the State were
against him. He was advised not
to make the race, but he risked his
fortunes and went into the tight
with courage that must command
admiration. He made speech after
speech, and by his eloquence Of
oratory and superb management he
succeeded in enlisting many friends
to help him, and county after county
began to go for him until there was
sufficient number for him to indicate
that he had won.
He has exhibited the same daunt-
less qualities of leadership in fight
ing for himself that he so admirably
displayed two years ago when he
led the democratic hosts to. victory
by 10000 majority.
MIR. Atkinson is true and loyal
democrat, member of the Presby.
terrain Church, and q brilliant speak
er, and will make a capable and
honest governor. He is fully versed
in legislation and the legal cues.
tons that enter into wise and safe
management of state affairs.
Now let the Democrats get to-
gethcr, close up ranks, and with an
invincible determination place the
third party candidate Hines in the
same political grave with Peek.

Its stated that the ''black death, E"
now epidemic in China, in the four
teenth century killed IS, 100000 peo-
pie in China, 100000 in other
Oriental countries, and not less
than 100000 in Europe. In
Germany alone 1,244,434 deaths
were recorded from the scourge, and
in Italy ore-half Of the population
was swept away. In London, then
comparatively small city, there
were no less than 100000 victims.
There seems to be no question that
the "black death" is the most fear
full scourge to which humanity has
ever been subjected.

The political and private con,
science should be on a parity.
There should not be two kinds OF
consciences in one person. The
conscience should be true to princi-
pie, truth and virtue. There is too
much looseness of conscience in
political conduct that is not consis>
tent with a high sense of honor.
Let us keep the fountain clean that
the stream may be pure.

ready taking steps to have San
Antonio and Texas ably represent
ed at the next meeting Of the
Southern association Of the ANA
teur Athletic union, which takes
place at New Orleans next October.
Last year j. Ryan and the Aue
brothers, of San Antonio, carried
away the bonors in a number of
feats, and it is expected that the
same will be repeated this year.
In order that success may be
better assured the Mission Athletic
club has arranged for great field
day, to take place at the Jockey
club grounds on April %, in which
every active member is expected to
participate. On this occasion two
men will be selected for each event
and of course only the most pro-
ficient ones will be chosen. They
will be placed on the team to be
sent to the Crescent City to repre-
sent San Antonio. The leading
athletes of the south will be pres

Alamo Plaza Threatened.

A complaint was made at Police
headquarters to the effect that the
plants, shrubs and grass on Alamo
plaza will be entirely wrecked If
the "little Mexican band" is per-
mitted to continue its all night
serenades. The police are unable
to keep the hoodlums and general
mob from tramping down every
thing, and the keeping up OF the
racket leaves the park at the mercy
of the hoodlum class. The "little
Mexican band" had better be re-
stricted to proper hours, and some
special police put on to keep the
park from being despOiled and
trodden down. Better shift the
music stand, do anything, to pre-
vent the destruction Of the park.

BUILDING SUSPENSION BRIDGES
An Important Engineer Report on the
Subject.

Last January the Secretary of War ap-
pointed an engineer board to make inves-
legations as 10 certain bridges, the pur-
pose being to collect accurate and full in
formation necessary to The intelligent and
proper determfna ton of the important ques'
ton arising in the department IN connection
with the building of bridges. over navigable
streams. The board was composed of Maj
G. w. RAYMOND, Capt. w. IL. BiXby and
Capt. Edwin Burr. One of the subjects con-
sdered was the possibility of constructing
bridges Of long span-longer than any the
world had ever seen. The report has just
been made public. From an engineering
point of view it proves to be one of the most
valuable contributions to the science Of
bridge construction ever made by an engi-
neer board. 1t is also of particular interest
to persons interested in the New York
bridge project, for 1t scientifically cisposes
of all doubt as to the feasibility of throwing
a single span over the Hudson, by showing
that it Is practicable to construct suspen-
sion bridge of the enormous length of 4,o3a
feet-4-5 of a mile-between spans, which Is
1535 feet longer than the minimum width
of the Hudson between pier lines. The re-
port adopts a steel cable of 5000 wires, No
g. as the basis of construction for an ideal
six-track bridge. The strength of such
cables is %, 40 tons, giving a working
strength of 9,4S0 tons The diameter would
be 2I IL inches as against Is as inches for
the Brooklyn bridge. The towers would be
7O7 feet above the masonry, and weigh 81
112 tons, and the total weight of the metal
in the bridge would be 2333, SOD tons.

HEADGEAR THAT ONE CAN See OVER

Anywhere.
WHY NOT ONE OF THESE

Now that our lords and masters have
risen in their might, and stepped down
hard on our beautiful big theater hats 1t
behooves every self resi- Getting maid aud
matron to provide herself with some kind
of headgear that the selfish creatures can
see over, under and round each side. Really,
when one comes to think about 1t, the tiny
conceits of millinery which are dignifjed
by the name of bonnet are so coquettish
and altogether charming that it seems to
me the mems crusade may after all prove
a blessing in disguise AS rule, the small
tiaras. Daadeaux. etc, are far more be-
coming and stylish thar the hats. only one
gets used to the latter and does not take
kindly TO the other bits of frivolity-just
because they make one look so different
until you get used to them; then you real
ize how pretty they are. and how sweet
you look in them. During the past week
have kept my eyes pretty wide open, and
here are few of the pretty things have
