A we'll groomed woman never shows

She never permits unsightly wisps

She never wears any but the neat

She never wears a petticoat that

She never uses scents and extracts
and permits herself only faint sachets
of violet.
She never looks as though she pat
ronized manicure; her hands are ex-
quisitely kept, but the nails do not
saiae and are rot sharply pointed.
She never betrays the fact that her
gown has placket.

COUNTY OFFICIAL PAPER.
To KecoEnize Cuban Indspenp-ucr,

To Rec"gnize Cuban IndsPenpsuc-.
The Senate Committee on Foreign
Relations held nm important meeting
yesterday and discussed the Cuban
question. Secretary Olney was be-
fore the Committee and advised that
no action be taken that would in
volve war with Spain. The whole
situation was thoroughly discussed
and the following joint resolution i'll
troduced by Senator Cameron few
days ago was adopted without division
or expression of difference Of
opinion:
sResolved, BY the Senate and House
of Representatives Of the United
States Of America, in Congress 10
sembled, That the independence Of
the republic of Cuba be and the same
is hereby acknowledged by the
United States OF America.
"Section IL. That the United States
should use it's friendly offices with the
government of Spain to close the war
between Spain and Cuba"
The members OF he committee are
rcticent us to what Secretary Olney
said. but it is certain that he advised
against amy action like that contem-
plated, rs it would involve war with
Spain. One member Of the committee
said: "Of course Spain will fight. but
there is no danger of other countries
getting in our way. No other Euro
pean nation wants to fight us, and we
would wmG up a war with Spain in
short order"
The opinion was expressed that
Cleveland would veto the joint reso-
luton. 1t is understood that the
main point raised by the Secretary
was that covered in the Presidents
message, viz: There is no actual
government in Cuba to recognize.
Another member of the committee
said that he believed that in case the
President should veto the resolution
it would pass over the veto, as more
than two-thirds of both the Senate
and House favored it.

THE COMMISSION AMENDMENTS.
How They Affect the Park and Tree
and Police Commissions.


A telegram was received from Atlanta
yesterday by Clerk of Council Manucy an
nouncing that House bill No. AIS had pass
ed the house and bill No. 416 had been read
a second time.
These are the amendments to the park
and tree commission and police
commission acts, indorsed by coun-
ell and introduced in the House by DR..
Duncan, by request of the mayor. Both
will doubtless become laws, as il is evil
dent that there is no opposition on the part
of the representatives from Chatham.
Both are important amendments.
The park and tree amendment gives this
commission control of the cemeteries, with
the exception of electing the keeper of
Laurel Grove cemetery, which power will
be exercised by council 1t also gives the
commission exclusive control of it's appro-
priation and the employment and control
of its own labor. The commissioners are
made subject to removal by the council
on specified charges.
The amendment to the police commission
act makes the mayor the official head of
the department., gives him the right to
issue instructions directly to the chief of
police and to appoint special officers when
ever he may see fit to do so. The council
is given the right to alter the compensa-
ton allowed officers and members of the
police force by the commission. an affirm
alive vote of nine being required to effect
such action. The members of the commits
sion are made subject to removal by coun-
Gil, after a hearing on specific charges, an
affirmative vote of ten being required Ia
effect a removal. The mayor is allowed a
vote on either question.

The Registration Commission. How

The city registration commission, which
was to have held another session yester-
day afternoon to hear complaints against
certain registrars who failed to register
certain parties, did not hold it on account
of the absence of Judge T. NJ. Norwood in
Liberty county.
Judge Norwood was expected here yes
terday as there was a case to be tried in
the city court and the attorneys and wit
nesses were there waiting. The lawyers,
who represent the political factions, were
also ready with a lot of arguments as to
why voters should or should not be regis
tered, but they did not have an opportu-
nifty to air them
Judge Fallgant is away in Efingham
county holding a term of the bingham

PASTOR WAS TOO ATTENTIVE.
Thankful BaptiSts' Spiritual Adviser
Charged With Seduction.

William Berrien. colored, pastor of the
Thankful Baptist church in Jones' old
field, was arrested yesterday on a warrant
sworn out before Justice Naughtin, charg-
ing him with seduction.
Mary Ellen Jackson, 16-year-old girl,
is Berrien's alleged victim. The warrant
was sworn out by her mother on state
ments made by the girl. The parents of the
girl are respectable colored people, it is
said. When Berrien began paying her at
tention some time ago they forbade him
the house They thought he was too old
for their daughter, and, besides. they had
heard that Berren's previous record was
not good one 1t seems that their sus-
picions were well founded, but their pre-
cautions were of no avail. The girl says
that Berrien decoyed her to his house and
there ruined her.
Berrien was trying to give bonds at last
accounts. His arrest was regarded as an
imposition by a number of his flock who
were last night making earnest efforts to
secure his release from jail. lawyer
had been retained and bondsmen secured.
Some Of the members of his church say
that Berrien is married and is regarded
by them as a man of all the virtues his
profession should require.

gray chiffon and pearl passementerie and
ribbons, and wore a gray hat trimmed
with ostrich plumes. Her flowers were
white roses tied with broad white ribbons
Her bridesmaid carried white hyacinths.
The bride looked strkingly handsome and
in her bridal dress was most attractive
picture.
The groom accompanied by his
best man. Mr. Herbert Avery Of Jackson
vile, awaited the procession at the chancel
steps. The bride was given away by her
uncle, Mr.. Bell. AT the conclusion of the
ceremony the Mendelssohn wedding march
was played by Prof. White as the bridal
party left the church. There was no re-
ception and Mr.. and Mrs Avery left at
once by the Plant system for brief visit

which she is held.
