street car tracks on his return from
the Richmond, Va, auditorium about
8 o'clock Wednesday evening was
caught on the fender of one of the
electric cars of the Clay street line,
knocked down and dragged several
yards before the Car could be stopped.
He was picked up and carried to the
Old Dominion hospital where he died
of his injuries at 12 o'clock.
"A meeting of representatives of
southern cotton mills was held in
Atlanta on last Monday and Tuesday.
The object of the meeting was to de-
wise some means of relieving the pres
ent depression in the market. After
discussion it appeared that there was
only one expedient open and that was
to reduce production. Accordingly, it
was decided to ask all southern mills
to curtail their production SO per cent.
during the next 80 days. The method
of carrying out this request is left to
the mills themselves; but it is recon-
mended that it be done with as little
hardship as possible to the mill ope-
ratives.
- Major Mckinley was formally
notified last Monday of his nomination
by the Republicans for president. The
notification was made the occasion of
a big blowout at Canton, Governor Nc
Kinley's home town. There were pres
ent many thousand visitors from all
parts of the north. Major Mckinley
accepted the nomination in carefully
prepared speech. He spoke hot bricks
on the tariff question but the money
question he handled as gingerly as If
it were hot brick itself. The burden
of his song was that all kinds of
American money must be worth a
hundred cents on the dollar, not only
in America, but all over the world.
Senator Henry M. Teller, on ar
irving in Denver last Wednesday, was
met by a great outpouring of people
from all parts of the state. The dem
onstration was non-partisan and it is
doubtful if the scenes of enthusiasm
have been paralleled in western histo-
ry. The explosion of bomb at the
Union depot at p. m. announced the
arrival of the senator's special train in
Denver. The streets were jammed
with people. Immense flags and pen
nants, and banners of welcome were
everywhere displayed. An immense
parade was already formed. Military
and civic and labor organizations made
up the procession and the Teller Silver
club, 1000 strong, was in line. As
the senator stepped from the train
there went up mighty shout and the
roar of human voices drowned out the
noise of the bombs.
GA leading ladies' tailor exhibits in
his show window, suit with the new
style of sleeves, which are to be worn
next fall" says a New York dis
patch of Wednesday: "The suit is
made of cadet blue whipcord, trimmed
with black braid. The sleeves are
smaller than those of the regulation
male garment and are covered at the
shoulder with epaulets. The costume
is of the tailor-made variety and is
intended for street wear. Large
sleeves have now been in fashion for a
half dozen years or 80, and despite the
thrusts of the humorist and the ridi-
cule of the caricaturist have complete
ly won the female heart. Year after
year it has been heralded by fashion
journals that the style would change
and the small sleeves come back into
general use, but the prophecy has
failed to come true and the sleeves of
the present day are as large as they
ever have been. The large style
sleeve is one that is well adapted to
all kinds OF figures. The fat, the lean,
the short and the tall can all wear
large sleeves without detriment to
their general appearance, while, on
the contrary, the small sleeves empha-
size every little defect of form and
figure. The effect of the new innova-
tion from Paris is awaited with inter-
est. Is the doom of the large sleeve
sealed, or will the American woman
delare her independence and hold fast
to the popular and prevailing style ?"
An interesting letter was issued a
few days ago by the American Anti
Vivisection society, of Philadelphia,
appealing to the public not to circulate
sensational stories about alleged mad
dogs and the terrible results of being
bitten by them. Such accounts, it
states, frighten people into nervous
disorders, and yet there is upon record
a great mass of testimony from physi-
clans asserting the extreme rarity of
hydrophobia, even in the dog. The
letter quotes a number of prominent
physicians in support of the theory
that there is no such affliction to man
kind as hydrophobia. DR.. Hiram Cor
son, late president of the Pennsylvania
Medical society, who was "a years old,
wrote: 81 have never seen real case
of hydrophobia." DIR. Vrail Green, the
eminent physician of Lafayette college,
who is over 80 years old, writes: III
have never had case of hydrophobia,
nor have I ever seen a case" DR..
Matthew Woods, who has been in
quest of the disease 20 years, asserts
that he never saw hydrophobia in eth
er man or animal, although 6 years
ago, he offered 800 reward to any
person bringing him such a patient.
He says further that he never seen q
case of the disease. Such distinguish
