POPULIST CAMPAIGN.
TITS SAID THAT A STRONG PROHIBI-

And oil. w. b. Hill Induced to Run--Wat-
son as Campaign Manager if the
Combination Works.
Atlanta. March 5.-What is said to be
the plan of campaign of the Populists,
IN fact, has been matter of goodadeai
of talk in political circles here to-day,
and the rumor makes mighty interesting
reading. 1t bears on its face some ele-
ments of probability. In the last issue
Of his paper, ex-Representative Thomas
E. W atson, the leader of the populists,
announced that he proposed to offer for
adoption at the populist state convention
a plank in the platform declaring strong
ly for prohibition, and it is on this that
the report hinges. The plan, so it is
said, is to make the populist platform
coincide as closely as possible with that
of the prohibitionists and thus bring
about practical amalgamation of the
two parties, so far as Georgia is con-
cerned.
With this done. it is proposed to nom
mate COL Walter B. Hill, of Macon, for
governor. Mr., Watson, under this plan,
is to take charge of the campaign as
chairman of the populist state exective
committee and is to make red-hot cam
Dairn from one end of the state to the
other, with the idea of electing popu
Observation-Disclosures legislature, which will
pass general prohibitory law and elect
the big populist leader to the United
States. 1t has been generally believed
that Mr.. Watson would run for congress
in the Tenth district, but if the foregoing
plan materializes he will keep out of the
race and let some one of his lieutenants,
perhaps G. Fl, Ellington or Claiborne
Snead, make that fight.
1t is difficult to say just how much
truth there is in the rumor. 1t is said,
however, to come primarily from inside
populist sources.
The opinion is generally expressed by
those who are conversant with it that it
would be good politics if it were carried
out. Col. Hill is regarded as man away
above the average in ability; a man
against whom no disparaging word can
be said. He is thoroughly honest and
earnest and if he can be induced to go in
to the race on a combination of this sort
he would unquestionably make as strong
candidate as the populists could get.

THE WONDERS OF ATOMS.

Millions of Particles.

Even the Smallest Speck Visible Contains
Millions of Particles.
There are but few persons outside of
the ranks of the biological students that
have any idea of what is meant by the
EXPRESSION IAN atom of matter" When
the microscope is applied to the exami-
nation of living tissue. whether that
tissue be of animal or vegetable life, it
is soon observed that all living things
are made up of minute bodies called
organisms. Experts in the various
branches of biological research Will also
tell you that no essential difference cal
be distinguished between those cells
which go to make up the sum total of
animal life and those which give the
vegetable its existence. These life cells,
although wonders within themselves,
are made up of minute PARTICLES called
"atoms, which are so small that they
must over remain invisible to the hu-
man eve. Some critical reader will say,
eff this last remark be true, how can
it be proved that such infnitesimal par
ticles as your SO called atoms exlstT'
To this query the reply would be that it
is only when an untold mum Der OF these
atoms unite themselves so as to form a
single body, like the grains in pop
corn ball, that they become at all visi-
BILE and then only by the best appliances
that optical science has been able to
furnish.
This being the case. it is not an exag-
hot q IF
matter which we are able to see is built
up of millions upon millions of these
atoms which are so small that no mind
can comprehend their minuteness, even
when taken in aggregations of thou
sands There are of course, many diff
ferent kinds of atoms, such as atoms of
carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, etc, each OF
which is believed to have its own par
ticular size and weight. Then, too,
they probably differ in shape as well as
size. According to the specialists in
this line, they combine together by mu-
tuaI attraction, which is in some cases
called cohesion and in others chemical
affinity, according as the atoms are of
the different elements. This being the
case it is easy to understand why myr-
lads of these atoms of all sizes and
shapes, fitted snugly one against the
other, combine together in varying de-
grees of intensity to build up structures
possessing all the various degrees of
stability and sOlidity. Some of the most
wonderful theories ever advanced on
the atomic theory are by Sir William
Thomson, the English scientist. In one
of these articles he proves by three diff
ferent trains Of arguments that an atom
cannot be greater than the one one hun
dred and fifty millionth of an inch nor
less than one-fve billionth of an inch

A Climbing Bullock.

At the great slaughter houses in the
Partisan suburb of La Villette there Is
a granary from which the beasts await
ing execution are fed. The way to it is
up substantial ladder staircase, One
of the bullocks, having escaped from the
pens, climbed up this staircase before he
could be stopped. When his escape was
first discovered, be was seen on the
stairs, slowly and laboriously making
his way upward. AS soon as he reached
the granary two or three attendants fol-
lowed him and endeavored to get him
down, but all their efforts were unavail-
ing. There was nothing to be done,
therefore, but to leave the beast there
to eat his fill and then see whether he
would be clever enough to return by the
way he went. Possibly some thought
of exhibiting him i'll public may have
crossed the minds of his guardians, but
if so they were doomed to disappoint-
ment. The stupid animal, instead OF
trusting to the staircase, got of
window on the opposite side of the
building and put one foot on little
thin ladder standing against it. There
was a crash, the ladder broke in halt
and the too adventurous bullock fell.

killed on the spot Paris Letter.

A THIEF'S FOOT.

Gals have taken his place. is about the
hardest criminal to tell from appearance.
He will walk with dignity, frmness and at
a moderately slow gait, which, however,
may, under circumstances. break into the
careless or airy swagger. Still, however,
there is an undefinable air about him that
will call the attention of the practiCed eye
to him.
1.-The house burglar does not display out,
wardly the same strength of character. He
possesses a combination of bank burglar
and the sneak thief, the latter largely pre-
dominating. He is generally clever on his
feet. and although rather small sized is
we'll knit He is a combination of the cat
and tiger. The stealthiness of the cat
helps him to get inside, and if there is dan
ger of capture the ferceness of the tiger as
serts itself, and he will kill
Dwelling house burglary at night should
be made capital offense, for the criminal,
although his primary intention was not
murder, is ready to commit murder to get
away. The pickpocket is a shutfling and
slouchy creature, barely lifting his feet.
The cause of this is easily found. He has
developed his hands to the neglect of ev
cry other limb. His hands are his tools, and
his brains and his feet are only to get him
into crowd in any manner.
1.-THE garroter has some of the character
istics of the sneak thief and much Of the
firmness and determination of the first class
burglar. The sneaking instinct helps him
to crawl upon his victim unawares, and the
determination of the burglar enables him
to carry out the robbery. But, except when
occasion requires, he relapses into the sneak
thiefs manners and attitudes.
Every man carries about himself an at
mosphere that, to more or less degree, re
fleets the inner man. In some men the out
ward indications or marks OF character are
as plain as the stars in the heavens at night.
In others they are nebulous, but still there.
An over or greatly developed chin is an
other mark that may be looked for in des
perate criminal 1t is natures revelation OF
strong animal instincts which may at any
time Overpower the moral senses to lead to
crime. Very low and very high foreheads
are equally bad, because both are abnormal
when you find a man the top of whose
head rounds in smoothly oval like an egg,
you have a fellow dangerous to any com
munity in which he may live. He will have
brains for scheming and organizing plans
but no conscience or moral susceptibilities
to restrain him. He will not commit crime
by violence, but by scheming."

THE HANDS AND FEET.
They Indicate Moral and Mental as Well as
Physical characteristics.


Physical characteristics.
1.-THE foot is a wonderful indicator Of
character" said Superintendent Byrnes of
the New York police department. to Mer-
curry reporter. "The man of honest mind
and intention puts his heel down squarely
and walks along in an independent but not
aggressive way. The criminal generally
puts his heel down cautiously and rounds
out his step to the toes. Here is picture
of thief's foot" and the great thief catch
er took some papers from his pocket, and
on the back of an envelope drew his idea OF
a thief's foot.
Continuing, the superintendent said: mo
matter what kind of q shoe or boot thief
wears, it will take on that rounded look
and turn up at the toe. The arch OF the
foot is usually low, but in some cases may
be somewhat raised, but the general char
acteristics still remain. Then, again, the
hand is a great guide The thieving band
is almost always larger in proportion than
that of the honest man. II, as you can
easily Judge, this largeness Is natural and
not the result of early and constant manual
labor, you will be safe in taking him for
suspicious character until you find out all
about him. But it is the fingers especially
that are large, and they are always spatu-
lous. The nails are broad. not long, and the
flesh curls up over them. They all have a
broken look, not the smooth and polished
appearance of the nails of the honest hand.
And, by the way, there is more than nerv-
business the matter with people who bite
their nails 1t shows decidedly avicious or
criminal tendency, whether developed or
not
Speaking generally, the locomotive char
acteristics of the different classes of crimi-
nails may be summed up by saying the
sneak thief always moves along stealthily

NEW YoEE, Sept Err. @. Dun & Co.'S
weekly review Of trade says; Plenty of
material for announcement and also for
discouragement, can be found by those
who seek that and nothing else. But
business men who want to see the situa-
tion exactly as it is find accounts so far
conflicting that it is difficult TO strike "a
balance. In the aggregate business is
about a tenth larger than last year, but
still falls about % per cent. below a full
volume for the season.
The iron business, after its great in
crease of output last month, shows dis
appointing weakness at all eastern and
central markets, with consumption not
| large enough TO keep fairly employed the
mills in operation. In textile fabrics there
has been a distinct decrease i'm trade as
| initial stocks for the next season have
| been ordered, and dealers are now wait
| ing for the retail trade to give encourage
| ment for further purchases.
| The strikes at Fall River and New Bed
| ford have not ceased, and about a dozen
| cotton mills have gone into operation
| elsewhere, several with reduced wages,
but the orders for the present are narrow
and much smaller than usual, although
recent advances in price are maintained.
| The demand for wooden dress goods is
better and will occupy some mills until
| December.
Breadsuffs are weaker, possibly be-
cause the government official report went
SO far in predicting short crops as to cause
a reaction in opinion.

most deceiving, and that the excursion
was simply run for pecuniary benefit to
the promoter
The ex-mayor alleges that, while the
excursion started out with the intention
of remaining north two months, enough
provisions were only taken to last two
thirds of that time, and the party was
soon put on short rations or two meals
day.
Twice, said Mr.. Gardner, we bought
provisions for ourselves, and, as every one
knows, our trip was to include every
thing. Once DR.. Cook brought around an
itemized account of his expenses in a vain
endeavor to secure additional compensa-
tion for the trip.
Before the transfer of the passengers
from the Miranda to the Rigel DR.. Cook
told each man that absolutely nothing
but what was necessary in the way of
clothingwould be allowed on the schooner
In the face of this order Cook the night
before, secretly had conveyed to the Rigel
his own property including a stock of
liquors and cigars, which he sold to the
passengers on the trip at ridiculously
high prices. Everything that Cook had
was saved, while not one of the passen-
gers or crew saved anything of value.
Cooks sole idea from beginning to
end, said Mr.. Gardner twas profit.
When we reached port he insisted on
being the first man off the boat, so that
he could buy everything of value from the
natives. He bartered and haggled and
made money, and that is all that he
did do.
Il don't believe that Professor Wright
ever said that the crew of the Miranda
was drunk most of the time ] never
| honored or respected man more than
do Captain Farrell, and his men were,
most of them perfect in their behavior.
! The day we struck on the reef there was a
little drinking among the firemen who
somehow had managed to get hold of some
| whisky As to the crew itself, there was
no drinking, and Professor Wright could
not have meant that there was, for he
could not have known il if there had been.
| He was sick most of the time"
The entire story as related by Mr.. Gard
ner shows DR.. Cook in the light of being
a merchant out for as large a profit as
| possible. In his greed for money he risked
| lives, health and most valuable property
and it was nothing but good luck that
saved the party from great property loss
