NEW BOURsE LAWS.
GENERAL NOTES.

Princess Henry of Prussia, Sister-in-
law of the kaiser. and her family. will
become the guests on Christmas day
of the Empress Frederick. and will re-
main in Berlin during the first part
of the season. Empress Frederick will
also entertain her daughter, Princess
Frederick Charles of Hesse- Cassel, and
her four sons and Prince and Princess
Adolphus of Schaumburg-Lippe, the
princess also being a daughter of the
dowager empress. The Berlin season
does not appear likely to be a bril-
liant one as the court fetes are under
some sort of a blighting influence.
Mr. Charles De Kay. United States
CONSUL general. will give a small dance
Monday evening. at which will be
present Ambassador Uhl, Mrs. Uhl and
their daughter Alice, the French am
bassador, the Japanese minister. the
Russian consul-general and others in
official and diplomatic circles.
Manager Niederlin, of the Philadel-
phia museum. is among the Americans
now in Berlin.
Miss Chickholm, a young American
lady who was studying music at
Weimar, has committed suicide at that
place by drowning. The young woman
had been afflicted with melancholia for
some time.
Madame Albertine Kotelmann, whose
husband is a planter in Central
America, who had been staying for the
benefit of her health in a Berlin
HYGIENE establishment, committed sui

II Meant Nothing.

Indications are cropping out that the
dinner which Senator Hill gave to Mr..
Bryan when the latter was in Albany
meant nothing from a political stand
point. 1t was intended merely as an act
of courtesy. There are good reasons for
saying that Senator Hill did not give Mr..
Bryan his confidence, and that Mr.. Bryan
did not tell the senator his plans. 1t will
be recalled that a few days after the din
ner Mr.. Bryan said, In one Of his speech
es in Western New York. that it isn't
good policy to give your confidence to a
man who does not honor you in the same
way.
There is a story abroad that Senator Hill
endeavored to find out from Mr.. Bryan
whether he would accept the populist
nomination for President If he were noti-
fed Of it officially, and that he got no
satisfaction. 1t is also said that Mr..
Bryan wanted to know If Senator Hill in
tended TO support him, and that he got
no satisfaction. Neither OF them confd-
ed in the other. and that is supposed to
have been the matter to which Mr.. Bryan
alluded in his Western New York speech.
Well informed politicians in New York
do not now expect that Senator Hill will
declare for Mr.. Bryan either at the dem
ocratic state convention or at any subse-
quent time. They think that when he
breaks his long silence it will be to an
nounce his purpose to support the Indian
apolis ticket. Still, no one can say with
any degree of certainty what hts plans
are. When asked about them he invaria-
bly, answers: u have nothing to say"

Georgia at Sea Grit.

Georgia's militiamen, represented at Sea
Girt by Savannah sharpshooters, may be
said to have taken a leading place mong
the crack rifle shots of the world 1t
may be doubted that there is on record d
longer list of complete and deserved victo-
ries, made by one rifle team at a single
meet, than that which stands to the credit
of the Savannah men, made at the meet
just ended They will bring home with
them eleven out of the twenty-three first
prizes that they were entitled to compete
for
Credit is due to the Governors Horse
Guards of Atlanta for their enterprise in
sending a team TO the National Rifle AS
sociation's meet. But the Atlanta men
lacked experience upon the ranges, and it
devolved upon the Savannahians to sus-
tain the reputation of the state at the
butts
Savannah has three times represented
the state at Sea Girt, and in this third
series of contests her soldiers have
trebled their victories. Should their i'm
provement keep pace with their successes
they may another year sweep the board
and leave nothing for other competitors!

Milking Much out of LittIe.

! The republican newspapers are still talk
ing of the republican victory in Vermont.
| They are as pleased as If they had car
ried the state for the first time. Every
body knows, however, that Vermont is
strongly republican and always gives a
republican majority. 1t is true that the
! republican majority this year was I'M
precedently large. and it is pretty safe to
say that the democrats expected it would
be large. The national republican cam
paign committee took particular pains
TO make it large The democrats did not
think 1t worth while to make an effort
to increase their vote.
But the republican newspapers insist
that the result Of the election does not
show the silver sentiment to be as strong
among the farmers as the democrats have
insisted it is. The democrats have never
contended that there was a strong silver
sentiment among the New England farm
ers. They have contended all along. and
still contend. that the strength Of the
silver sentiment is in the west and south.
1t will be shown by the returns in the
national election that they are right. No
better evidence of the strength of the sill
yer sentiment In the west is needed than
the crowds which turned out in Ohio and
Indiana to see Mr.. Bryan.
1t is not matter of much consequence
how great the majority against silver
was in Vermont, but what the vote for
silver in the middle western states Will be
is a matter of very great consequence.
These states are the battle ground of this
campaign, and the party that gets these
states is going to win the victory in the
national election.
The sentiment in behalf of silver has
never been strong in any of the eastern
states while 1t has been, and still is, very
strong in the south and west Therefore
there is no reason why the compaign
managers Of the democratic party should
feel at all uneasy on account of the fact
that in state election the other day in
Vermont the republicans increased some
what their usual majority. Political SEN
timent in Vermont is no indication of what
political sentiment in the west and
south is.

No Peacock Fentherr.

1t may possibly prove just a little I'M
fortunate that Ii Hung Chang arrived in
this country with his peacock feathers,
about the time of the opening of the the
atrical season. The votaries of fashion
are ever on the lookout for some strik-
ing fad, and it may please
them to make a run on pea
cock feathers as a decoration for
women's hats And that would be a mis-
fortune. after the progress that has been
made in the matter of theater hat reform.
Last winter, it will be remembered, cru
sades were made against the high hat
in several states, and something like half
a dozen state legislatures passed laws
against the wearing of great hats in
places of public amusement. Generally
speaking, there was a ready acquiescence
with the terms of the laws. Very few
women attempted to defy the statutes
and march into the theaters with tower
ing masses Of flowers and feathers on
their heads. The fair sex, recognizing
that the demand for the abolition of high
hats was founded upon reason and JUS
succumbed gracefully, and were getting
accustomed to wearing small hats to the
play, or taking them off after being
seated.
There is no anti-high hat law In this
state, but the women of Savannah were
reform. 1t did not take them long to
learn that with their hats off they formed
a far more attractive audience than if
the line OF vision of probably half the
people in the house was obstructed by
bullying headgear. At the close of the
last season It was no uncommon thing
for the majority of the women in the
theater 10 be bareheaded, and often big
hat was the exception. Thus things were
going along swimmingly at that time.
What the conditions will be during the new
season remains to be seen. II Ii Hung
Chang and his peacock feather do not be-
come fad, we may see the reformation
go on until the theater will become in
fact a democratic nstitution-nobody's op-
portunity to see the stage will be OBJ
structed by a woman's hat. promising
incident of the opening of the new sea-
son was noted at the first performances
in New Orleans on Monday night last.
Louisiana has an anti-high hat law-the
Dudenheffer law. The theater people had
been instructed 10 see that the law was
observed. But noicensorship of hats was
needed. The women either wore becom-
ingly small and pretty hats, or took them
off when they had taken their seats. The
New Orleans papers say the movement
against high hats is success in that
town. 1t is to be hoped its success win
be general and permanent.

Georgia Doesn't Want 1t.
From the Atlanta Journal (DemO

Fortunately the people of Georgia have
had opportunities TO observe the practical
workings of populism in several states,
and the lesson will not be lost upon them.
There is not a state which has had popu-
list rule which did not suffer under it, The
value of property in Colorado shrank
many millions during the administration
of Bloody Brides Waite, and more peo-
pie left the state than went TO It, The
experience of Kansas with populism has
been even more bitter because there has
been more of It, The populists have never
yet given an example of a sound and well
administered government They have been
tried and found wanting. DO the people
OF Georgia intend TO intrust their govern
ment to a party which has failed signally
wherever 1t has held the reins of power?
Wen, hardly.

Puncture Versus Bangs.

There was report like the discharge of
an overgrown popgun. says Truth.
Her heart sank within her and her tire
sank beneath her. She had become pos
sessed of a puncture, and Sheridan (the
town of was twenty miles away!
She bumped along on the wooden rim for
a dozen feet, then dismounted and viewed
the hattened tire with eyes that slowly
filled with tears.
About this time the Good Samaritan was
sighted on the distant horizon. He was
by nature a Philistine, but he never went
by on the other side when he discovered a
woman in distress, provided a close inspec-
ton of the woman plainly demonstrated
10 him that she was a pretty woman.
Searching to- her side he politely lifted
his hat, begged her pardon for taking the
liberty of addressing her. and then inquir-
ed the cause of her grief.
"A puncture, sir" she sobbed.
And you cannot repair it?' he asked.
Mono sir" she made reply, land Sher-
idan is twenty miles away"
Perhaps / can fix it," he said cheerily.
81 see you have a tool kit"
YES" she faltered, but fear"
That's all right" he FASTENED to as
sure her. 1T win be no trouble at ALL"
His nimble fingers were now working
at the straps of the leather case that de-
pended from her wheel.
But. SIR" she hastily protested, you
are very kind, 1 know. and yet fear you
can do very little with my repair kit"
"Oh. yes, can" he cried confidently.
II fiatter myself l can do wonders with
very few tools. oh, yes, / can't
Then, as the tool kit yawned before him.
he clutched wildly at his hair with both
hands. his eyes started from their sockets,
and, Philistine that he really was, he has
tily mounted his wheel and rode by on the
other side.
All that her tool kit contained were a
mirror, a comb. a powder pun and a pair
of curling irons.

The New York World. which is an anti
Bryan and Sewal paper, but claims TO be
democratic, makes three predictions,
namely, that Maine on Sept. IA will go re-
publican by an increased majority, that
Immediately after the election Mr.. Sewall
will withdraw from the presidential ticket
and that Mr. Watson will succeed Mr..
sewall as Vice Presidential candidate on
the democratic ticket. The first predic-
ton may come true. because the repub-
hcans Of Maine are united and are making
extraordinary efforts for a big majority.
The democrats are divided-that is the
gold standard democrats are taking little
interest in the state election. We do not
think however. that there is any proba-
bility Of the withdrawal OF Mr.. sewau. In
TACT he has just stated that he has no
intention Of Withdrawing. and will not
withdraw under any circumstances. OF
course If he does not withdraw Mr.. Wat
son Will not be put in his place.

and the decorations will be finished by

ering. The Inauguration of the new city's
first exposition, therefore, will be aus
picious, as 1t deserves to be. 1t can be
confidently predicted that the fair win
be a success in every sense Of the word,
and that similar events will be held year
ly hereafter The scope Of the fair covers
agriculture, horticulture, viticulture, flor
iculture, manufacturers, stock raising,
etc. and II is said the exhibits will be par
ticularly fine and full. one OF the pop,
ular features of the occasion will be the
races, of both horses and bicycles. A
good track has been provided, and such
prizes are offered as win make the events
interesting. It goes without saying that
South Georgia will patronize the exposi-
ton literally There will also be a large
attendance from other sections and states.
