Probably very few people in this state
know that there was once in Georgia a
United States mint. But such is the fact.
IT fourished prior to the war at Dab
lonega, in'the center of the gold-produc-
ing section of the state, and during its
continuance milled some S6,106.00O in gold
coins. It was established about 1885 and
tourished until the breaking out of the
war. The highest record made by the
Dahlonega mint was in 1S43. when il
turned out 1852, 7S2 of gold money. After
the war the mint site was turned over
bodily to the state of Georgia for use as
an agricultural college. About the time
the Dahlonega mint was established a
second mint was planted at Charlotte n
{. The capacity and history of the two
money mills were about the same
The Charlotte property has not been in
use since the war, and there is now before

Love and witches.

title fearful maid


1t was a little. fearful maid.
Whose mother LETT her all alone;
Her door with iron bolt she stayed,
And 'gainst 1t rolled a lucky stone
For many a night she'd walked with fright
when witches by the house had flown,
To piping lutte in still midnight,
Who comes a-singing at the door
That showeth seams Of golden light
All, open. darling, ! implore,"
She could not help, knowing twas Love, al
though they'd never met before.
She swiftly shot the iron bar
And rolled the lucky stone away,
And careful set the door ajar-
Now enter in. Sir Love, pray;
My mother knows it not, but I have watched
for you this many day"
With fan and roar of gloomy wings
They gave the door a windy shove;
They perched on chairs and brooms and
things;
Like bats they beat around above
Poor little maid, she'd let the witches in with
love.

Hard to Get In; Easy to Get Out.

Judge Bradley, in his opinion in the Gaddis
case, SAID that congress never intended to re-
strict the right OF removals from ONCE for
polllcal reasons in the civil service laws.
since Andrew JackSons time all heads OF eX-
10 remove such clerks as they chose because
OF thelr politics, and that right still existed,
unless congress has removed it by legislation.
Inc whole effect of the civil service law,
Judge bradley thinks, Is TO make il much
more dirhcult to get into office, while it is as
easy as ever to get out. His argument is that
beyond this dlMculty Of getting in. the civil
service law Is for the most part an abortive
one. Tie council for Gaddis have appealed
TO the supreme court Of the United Srates.

In our dispatches of yesterday it was
stated that every state in the union was
represented at the annual session of the
supreme council of the American Protec-
tive Association, which met at Des
Moines, Ia, on Thursday. 1t would be
interesting to know who the Georgia del
egates were. So far, the public and the
newspapers have been kept in ignorance
of any organization of the American
Protective Association in this state. Is
it possible that besides republicanism and
populism, the democracy of Georgia has
to fight this new know-nothingism that
seeks to drag religion into politics.
The presidency of the International
League of Press Clubs, rendered to Mr.
Clarke Howell at Atlanta Thursday and
accepted by him, is an honor fttingly be-
slowed and well worth having. MIR.
Howell has won high place in Journal
ism, though still very young man. This
new honor will bring him into closer rela-
tions with the journalists of the country,
with whom he has always been popular.
He will fill the place with credit to him
self and to the entire satisfaction of the
league.

Savannah extends cordial welcome to
the visiting journalists, and begs to as
sure them that the town is theirs while
they stay. While on the Piedmont es-
carpment the editors were shown marked
attention. The coast region will endeavor
to prove to them that Georgias charac-
teristic hospitality is bounded only by the
states lines; that from the gold hills to
the oyster beds, and from the orange
groves to the border touching the ex-dis-
pensary territory, all Georgia latch
strings are on the outside to those who
come in friendship. The visitors may
catch Savannah just bit en- dishabille,
because of the lack of notice; but she
will endeavor TO be so charming that the
gentlemen will be glad that she had no
time for preparation.

the property was worth more than $500. A
Two hours nearing was he'd and the attorney
had reason to believe that his plea for an in

nearing he won his case and the assessment
was increased to the amount he asked, thus
making clear gain of $1,000 to the pleased
owner. Then the lawyer attended to the

client house on Wednesday to present it to

New States Shut OF.

From the New York Evening Post Nnd).
One good effect of the republican victories
inJrecent elections has been to put a duietus
on the scheme for rushing a lot OF new terri
tories into the Union as states. A year ago
the democrats thought that they could count
upon senators and representatives for their
party from such states in 1874, and demo
cratic electoral votes in 1896; but now they
are afraid that the republicans might get the
advantage Every public interest will be
subserved by the policy OF delay in this mat

The Sad Plight of coxey's Men.

The condition of Coxey's men in Wash
ington, as painted by the papers of that
city, is about as bad as it could possibly
be. Those of them who are not wholly
hardened to tramp existence begin to
realize their mistake in following Coxey
All of them are encamped in very I'M
healthy place and are without shelter
At present they have sufficient supply
of food, but it is certain that the charity
of the Washington people will not con-
tinue many days, and then there must
be real suffering. No city would
undertake to feed for an indef-
mite time five or six hundred
men brought within it's limits from
distant places, knowing that such action
would encourage thousands of other des-
titute and shiftless people to join thos e
already there.
1t is not at all likely that the national
government will undertake to provide for
the Coxeyites. To do so would establish
precedent for appropriations for unem-
ployed in all parts of the country. 1t is
much better from every point of view
that the unemployed should remain in
the localities in which they have friends
and acquaintance who can assist them
in some small degree, than that they
should go among strangers who already
have all the burdens they can well carry.
CoXey's men are not so much to blame
for their present sad plight as Coxey is.
He got them into their present trouble
and he did it not with the expectation
that they would be able to better their
condition by going to Washington, nut to
crafty his desire for notoriety. His
action deserves the severest condemna-
ton, and whatever law there is in the
District of Columbia that is applicable to
his case should be enforced against him
to the fullest extent. He is not a destitute
person, nor has he suffered any of the
hardships that have been the lot of his
| deluded followers. Such an example
should be made of him that none of the
other generals" of the various branches
of the ''commonweal' army in the west
would consider 1T advisable to advance
farther toward the national capital.

NATIONAL BOULEVARD.

Bill introduced In Congress for . Road
Across the Continent
Representative Dunphy IN. " has
in congress a bill providing
for the appointment by the president
of commission to examine and report
upon the feasibility and desirability OF
boulevard from the At
lantic to the Pacific oceans The COM
mis- sioners are to be selected from the
war. agricultural, post office and in
terror departments.
The bill was introduced at the re-
quest of DR.. John T. Nagle, the chief
of the bureau of vital statistics of New
York. The commission, MI. Dunphy
says. is to report upon the cost OF the
boulevard, the character of the road
bed, and the several states through
which it will run from New York to
the Pacific slope. DIR. Nagle's idea is
to make the proposed boulevard similar
to that of the western boulevard in
New York city, with a roadway on
either side and a promenade through
the center shaded by trees Mr.. Dun
ply roughly estimates the cost at $780,
600, 900. Aside from the utility of the
roadway, it would afford employment
for thousands of idle men. which he re-

Gloves.

The fancy for light gloves continues.
Pearl-gray undressed kid gloves light
~ stitched with black, and fastened by
four buttons, are worn at afternoon re-
ceptions, day weddings, for calling and
at the theater. White gloves are pre-
ferred for evening wear. Yet many
find these light colors unbecoming. as
they make the hands look larger, and
they use instead tan or gray Suede
gloves both for day and evening. and
with dresses of all colors. Mousque-
taire gloves are best liked in soft Suede,
and are also used in long gloves of
dressed white or pearl-colored kid. For
shopping, travelling and general wear
in the morning the preference is still
for heavy kid gloves of reddish-tan or
oak color. fastened by four large but
tons. Outing gloves of white wash
leather will be worn again this sum-
mer, made in sac shape loose on the
wrists. or else closely buttoned.-Har.
