VINO openly expressed opposition to the
measure he was of the opinion that such
power IN the hands of city govern
ments might be used for political pur-
poses in the way OF furnishing political
opponents by Increasing the tax rate on
the particular class OF property owned
by the parties whom il was desired to

OF the power was extremely improbable
as II would be practically impossible 10

WAS NOT A BATTLE FLAG.
The OgIethorpes Never surrendered
Their CoIors to the Enemy.

Their COIors to the Enemy.
Capt. w. S. Rockwell of the Oglethorpe
Light Infantry said yesterday that the
flag in possession of Mr.. b. +. Clark Of
Rome, of which mention was made in
yesterdays Morning News, is nos the
battle flag Of the company.
1.-The Oglethorpe Light Infantry never
surrendered any flags" said Capt. Rock
wen. when we left Savannah we car
ried the confederate colors and those
oolcrs were destroyed at AppomattoX. to
prevent their falling into the hands Of the
enemy. Before the company left Savan-
nah we had two or three flags one of
them presented by the ladies' Of Savannah,
having the arms Of the state of Georgia
on one side and seven stars on the other
The colors We're continental, blue and
buff 1t was this flag which was raised
over Fort Pulaski after it was taken pos
session Of by a detachment of the Sa-
varnah Volunteer Guards, Chatham Ar
tinery and Oglethcrpe Light Infantry.
These flags We're left behind When we
went to Virginia. The one turned over to
Mr. Clark by Capt. COverdale of Cincin-
natl and marked captured was evidently
found here by Sherman's army when it
occupied Savannah. The flag might have
been found in the city exchange, as we
used the northeast room on the top floor
Of that building for a drin room for some
time before our departure for Virginia.
The flag has no historical interest, but
we appreciate the spirit of capt Cover
dale's offer, and shall be glad TO have the
flag back again It will be given a place
on the walls of the cOmpany's room at
the armory of the First regiment"
Capt. Rockwell has received a letter
from Mr.. Clark, to which he replied stat
ing that the flag was undoubtedly one of
the Oglethorpe's found by Sherman's
army on its occupation of Savannah.

ELECTRIC CLIPPED MACS.
The Latest Thing in Horse Toilets
an Electric Hair Cut.

The latest application of electricity is
for clipping horses Electric clipped
nags are the newest thing out.
1t now remains for the BARRIERS to turn
on the current and run a pair of electric
clippers over a mans Uranium and the
ragged edged sczzors that now and then
cut. but more often pull out the victims
hair, will be relegated to the rear.
The Pulaski house stables clip their
horses by electricity. A machine, some
thing like a dental engine with a flexible
shaft attached to rapidly moving knives
and the gearing connected with an cleo
trio motor is the machinery which does
the business.
The modus operandi of the clipping is to
back Il horse out of a stall and up to the
clipper. The operator runs the comb
like knives over the animal and the job
is done.

An ODD Shooting Gallery.
From the Chicago Record.

of all the street entertainments of Paris
the one that proved most enthralling and
at the same time the most annoying was
connected with a shooting gallery.
one evening while passing the little tent
under which the targets were set up there
was observed a young man with his hat
OH and his hair roughed up steadying
himself and taking deliberate aim at a
very small target twenty feet distant
me target was placed above a minia-
ture prison about two feet high. Extend
ing from the prison gate was a broad
platform on which was erected a guillo-
tine perhaps eighteen inches high
1t was evident at once that there was
some hidden connection between the small
target and the gloomy prison, so it was
decided TO wait and see what happened
The young Frenchman seemed unable to
mt the target. First the bullet would
strike just below and then just above or
off at one side He became disconra oed
once and started away but this was too
much IKE surrender, so he came back
paid for three more shots and vowed that
he would not give up until he had sue
On the second shot there was a sudden
buZzing and then the striking of bell
winch announced that he had hit the tar
get. The prison doors flew open and ont
came three figures abreast moving with
slow and jerky elaboration.
The Frenchman who had invoked the
spectacle dropped the gun and shouted
with joy. At last he would see it!
The three figures continued to move
with mechanical gait toward the guillo-
tine, and it could be seen that the hare
headed doll in the middle had its hands
tied behind it and that the printed lines
Of the face expressed mournful resigna-
ton. The two other men were fierceIv
bearded and appeared to be cruel and de-
termined.

ure in the middle toppled forward with
out bending a joint and lay with its
head in the groove of the block This

compiled from a comic almanac of wear

the piece as may be judged from the name
is founded upon Irish wit and humor. The
wit and humOr employed are good That
fact has been proved by years and wears
