New York Sum The outcome Of vester-
days meeting of the two Houses of the
french Parliament in joint session at
versailles does not augur well for the
maintenance of tranquility and order
Again, as in the cnse of VI. Carnot
the French legislators have chosen for
the office of Chief Magistrate a man
comparatively obscure, less known in
deed. to foreigners than the baritone
singer or the same name, and apparently
commended mainly to the support OF the
Modeiates by his previous lack of OPP
portunities TO make enemies. Unlike
Carnot he does not appeal TO sentiment
by his possession of patronymic illus
trious IN republican traditions: and
again unlike CarnOt, he does not enter
office with the moral support of an over
whelming majority.

1t is Conventional Matter ito Enter ''the
Private Parlor."
Considerable speculation has been in.
dulged in with reference t, the alleged
growth of the drinking habit among Ne w
York society ladies. Whatever the truth
as to that may be-and I'm inclined to
believe the stories somewhat overdrawn
common rumor is such an awful liar
there is little doubt but that the open
drinking of women in general is greatly
on the increase. How far the thing is
carried, secretly or privately. Open
drinking in public resorts is SO common
however, that we must regard the silly
yarns about brandy TASKS, cocktail
opera glasses, creme de menthe fans and
all that sort of thing as wholly unneces-
sary. There is very little attempt long
er at concealment on the part of either
men or women. Respectable women may
be seen at any pu bic restaurant in the
act of taking preliminary cocktail with
their male escort.
They may be seen drinking in restau-
rants during shopping bours of the day
without escorts. The side doors, or
'family entrances" of the saloons in
residential neighborhoods are familiar
to them. These places invariably have
private rooms for women, and they may
enter there alone or in pairs, or accom-
panied by their husbands or other male
escorts, at any hour of the day and until
II o'clock at night without fear of mo-
HESITATION or insult. That this privilege
is being generally used and enjoyed must
be apparent to any observer. Formerly
it was confined to the poorer quarters of
the town, and to women with no partic-
ular reputation to lose. Nowadays,
however, the private ''parlors" of all the
sOloOns on the aristOcratic west side are
nightly filled by respectable women.
They can be seen entering these places
in broad daylight any day, and the wo-
men trade is now an important consider
alton to every proprietor. The effect is
seemingly to make such places more
orderly and to drive out Edisreputable
people. But how about the women who
are bringing about this reform? And is
this evidence of the so-called 'emancipa-
ton of women?''

Trihnta of Resnact.

Departed this life at her residence, in
this city, on the 8th ult. after an illness
of about II months, Mrs. D. W. Sears,
aged 81 years and 10 days.
Mrs. Sears leaves to lament her death
in the circle of her family husband,
two little sons and an affectionate aunt,
who cared for her from early childhood.
At the time of her death Sister Sears
was a member of Sardis Baptist church.
During her long illness she often
thought and spoke of Christ, and her
reliance upon Him as her Saviout and
Lord. Attic hour of her departure she
said: 81 believe He is with me now -
How true it is that Sin the midst of
life we are in death" Again, how sad
to part here with dearest lOYed ones for
the rest of life.
The friends of the bereaved extend
their sympathy. May the Lord sanctify
the sad experience to the spiritual good
of the little home.

COTTON MONOPOLY GONE.
Colonel Walters Tells His Reasons for the
Hard Times.

Colonel Walters Tells Ms Reasons for the
Hard Times.
From the Macon Telegraph.
ALBANY, Dec. 29.-During my visit to
Albany called on Col. Jesse Walters in
his COW law office. AS his tace wore a
rather serious expression for Christmas,
Inquired the subject matter of his med
itations.
"Wen,' said he, ~ can't keep out Of
my thoughts the hard times so oppres-
sive just now to all our people. The
country has not emerged from the panic
YET"
"What produced these hard times of
which you speak?" asked.
1T will not profit to go into the vari-
GUS causes of the present condition of
things; that would smack too much of
post mOrtem examination, but there
are certain matters which affect our fu
ture that are practical and which concern
me much.
''You see," continued Col. Walters,
''the south has lost her monopoly of the
cotton business, and the farmers do not
know it. This is calamity which stares
the south in the face. 1t is the problem
to solve. know our people will solve it
in time, for our southern people are
hard to down. They are heroic people
and this question was born amid hard
times"
"But, Col. Walters, what new condi-
tons have arisen so threatening to our
cotton productions"
"The facts are these For a long Sc
ries of years the republican party, in the
interest of the northern manufacturer,
has put monstrous tariff on all foreign
goods. The effect of this policy has been
to stimulate the cotton production i'll
other parts of the world. The policy OF
the republican party forced foreign ma
tons to build, in selfdefense, railroads
and extend their transportiOn facilities,
and now these countries can make con-
ton. Egypt, India, the Russian provin-
ces, Central America, Africa and Mexico
have increased immensely their cotton
production, and to such an extern as to
deeply affect the cotton market this year.
1t is our future more than the present
which makes me hIue. The high tariff
policy of the United States has taken
from the south her monopoly on cotton.
And this fact the southern farmers
should know, and upon our ready adapt
ability to the new conditions depends
our success for the future"
A great many Dougherty county farm
eTS are in doubt as to what to do for the
year 1895. To be or not to be; to do or
not to do; to farm or not to farm-that
as the question.

Powerful Pressure of the Deep Sea.


Some curious experiments in the way
of discovering the pressure of water at
different depths were made recently. 1t
was found that if an ordinary glass bot
tie, tightly corked and sealed, be sunk in,
say, fifty fathoms of salt water and left
there for about ten minutes, it may when
brought to the surface be found partly
full of water. The pressure of the SUI
perincumbent mass of water will either
force the water through the porous glass,
force the cork into the bottle or bl eak
the bottle. BY Il law of hydrostatics the
pressure of water is in proportion to its
vertical height and it's area at the base.
1t is reconed that the pressure of water
on any body plunged into it is about one
pound to the square inch for every two
feet of depth.
Bottles filed with fresh water tightly
corked and Isealed have been sunk to
great depths in the ocean, and where the
enormous pressure has not burst the
bottle it has driven in the cork and dis
placed the fresh with salt water. Pieces
of wood have been weighted and sunk in
the sea, with the result that the tissues
have become so condensed that fleetwood
has lost its buoyancy and will never float
again. 1t could not even be burned
when apparently quite dry.

NO TITLES FOR EXECUTIVES
No Room for Such FIummerry in This
Country.
From the Savannah News.


From the Savannah News.
A corresp ondent in and the editor of
one of our. contemporaries have been dis
cussing the old question whether the
governors of the state and the president
should be addressed by some distinguish
ing title. such as CHS excellency" The
states have the power to settle the mat
ter for themselves. So far only two of
them, both in New England, have given
their governors title, that of ''excel-
lency." 1t is not likely that any other
state will go into the titla-conferring
business at this late day; though in prob
ably everyone of them the custom is to
refer in legal papers to the governor as
chs excelency," just as it has become
the rule in the courts to speak of the
presiding judge as ''his horror" The
constitution of the United States forbids
titles of nobility, and the president is
left without claim upon any title more
than the name of his office. In speaking
to the president he should be called
merely "Mr. President" and in writing
to him nothing more than his name
without prefix and followed by the word
President should be used in the adj
dress; that is, to follow strictly the
authority of law. But there are probably
few people who follow that authority
strictly in this manner. The greater
number of them, having weakness for
titles themselves and probably thinking
to put little sweetening into their COM
muuications, add whatever prefxes and
sutfixes come handy.
1t is an interesting historical fact that
there was once hard fight in congress
for an official and high-sounding title for
the president. 1t occurred just after the
adoption of the constitution. Three
titles were proposed from which one was
to be chosen-'elective majesty"
''highness,'' and "excellency." A joint
committee on title was appointed and
the matter was given most serious atten-
ton. Upon the report of the committee
spirited and lengthy yet solemn debate
was held, participated in by leading men
of the times. The spirit of democracy
governed, however, and no title was
given the president; and the country has
been getting further away from the
flummery of titles ever since.

inning. The Toledos had a lead of
two runs When the visitors came up
for their last time at bat. Nops, who
had been very wild, and had given
bases on slight prOvocatiOn, allowed
hit to Kraus, and advanced him with
a base to Berger. Smith hit sharp
one to INLAND, hitting him on the
knee and the ball rolled to center
field, allowing two men to score.
O'ROurka drove in the winning run
with another hot one to INLAND, who
fumbled it. In the second Mullane hit
a sharp one to Hartman, who, in his
haste, threw high to first. AS Car

him, throwing him forward, and al

SALMON EXTINCTION.
Packing Companies Are Exhaust
ing Alaskan River Supplies.

WASHINGTON, May 27.-The rapid
inroads which fishing and packing
companies have made upon the salmon
in the Alaskan rivers has given great
concern to the government several
years past, since it became evident
that the fish were destined to the same
fate of determination which has over
taken the buffalo, and is being visited
upon the fur-bearing seals of the
Northern waters.All attempts to secure
effective restraining legislation from
congress have proven practically with
out results. There is particularly no
law to be enforced, however, for the
only Legislation ever adopted was an
act of 1889, prohibiting the erection of
dams or distractions to prevent the
ascent of salmon to their spawning
grounds, and it is rather difficult to
carry this into effect, since all inspec-
ton has to bel done by one agent of the
treasury department. DR.. Hugh
Smith, one Of the experts of the fish
commission, believes that the extinc-
ton of the Alaskan fish is inevitable,
if the present methods continue un-
checked. More than half of the world $
supply now comes from Alaska.

WILLARD DENIES LIABILITY.
Northern Pacific Receivers Ask
the Court for Instructions

MILWAUKEE,, Wis, May 27.-Henry
Willard will probably soon be called
into court to make an accounting of
over $500. coo of Northern Pacific money,
which the receivers. Messrs. Payne,
Rouse and Oakes, believe he has UNI
lawfully withheld. The facts are set
forth in a long report filed by the re-
ceivers tonight, and in which they
claim that in the transactions growing
out of the purchase and transfer to
the Northern Pacific of the Northern
Pacific & Manitoba road, Mr.. Willard
withheld S545,O0 which the receivers
will seek to recover. Mr.. Willard has
denied his liability to any accounting
to the receivers. The receivers submit
the report of their comptroller as to
the moneys claimed and ask the court
for instructions for proceeding to re-
cover the amount. The claim is for
an accounting of the moneys which
Mr.. Willard received as financial agent
of the Northern Pacific & Manitoba
road.
