An Atlanta correspondent says: The
colonists, who are trying TO build up the
new town of Fitzgerald, Ga, are in hard
luck. Last winter the town had 5000
inhabitants and about $50 business
houses, but the hot weather has driven
more than half of the settlers back TO
their old homes, where many of them
will remain permanently. Disease and
death have thinned the ranks of the col
onists, and they dread what the future
has in store for them.
1t was a mistake for these people TO set
tie in region where summer begins with
April and ends with October They cam
not endure the climate, and they are too
far from the markets to make truck
farming profitable. The natural condi-
lions of the place were bad enough. but
the colonists have made them worse by
building houses suited to a cold climate.
Then they have their stables and COW
sheds near their cottages, and in warm
weather these conveniences are very dis
agreeable and dangerous. But some Of
the plucky citizens are determined to hold
out and many of those who have left are
expected to return in the fall and make
another effort TO overcome the adverse
forces of nature. The Gcorgians are anx-
ious to see the newcomers succeed, but
they regret that they did not locate their
town on the Piedmont slope in northern
Georgia, where the climate enables people
to work outdoors all the year round. and
where malaria is unknown. The failure

Abigail Dodge, better known as Gail
Hamilton. died at her home in Hamilton,
Mass, Monday evening, without having
recovered consciousness since sustaining
a shock of paralysis Sunday morning.
Miss Dodge for many years was con-
spicuous figure in Washington. She went
to the capital early in the '5Os to teach
school and through her ability with the
pen she secured position on the staff of
tie National Era. Miss Dodge was per-
haps the best Of the many intellectual
women that have sprung up in the United
States during the last thirty years. She
was best known probably from her pun
gent and rather erratic writings and the
strong espousal of the political fortunes of
Secretary Blaine. Between herself and
MIR. Blame there was keen and perfect
sympathy. Gail Hamilton's first book
was published in 1862. Since that time
her pen has never been idle. She has con-
tributed largely to magazines and to peri
odicals and some of her work is of an
order that compares well with that done
by the best writer's among the men, No
woman has written more clearly, force
fully or with equal intelligence and I'm
derstanding on the subject of politics.
From 1865 to 1867 she was one Of the
editors of sour Young Folks" children''s
magazine published in Boston, and sub
scqucntly merged with st. Nicholas.

Sans existence--during tne civil war
Cooke loaned millions to the Govern
ment and was proclaimed the nations
savior. ~.s
Cooke was born In Ohio In 1926. When
10 years old. he entered the banking
house Of II. w. Clarke & Co., Philadel-
phia. After a brief trial he was made
confidential clerk, and upon attaining
his majority he was admitted into the
firm. Here Mr.. Cooke was wonderfully
successful and made a million before
he was 80. In the % years he was with
The firm he piled up several millions.di
Just previous to the breaking out OF
the war Mr.. Cooke established the
banking house Of Jay Cooke & Co. The
house rose mt once into prominence and
Cooke became the controller Of the ma
ttcn's pocketbOok. Branch banks were
established In London, New York and
washington. When the war broke out
the Government needed money badly.
Secretary Chase turned to Cooke and
the latter formed n syndicate which
loaned $5O,O0O,00O to the Government.
SCon another and larger loan was re-
CURED. Money was now growing
scarce and the possessors OF it had
fears for the future Of the United
States. Cooke, however, issued an en-
thusiastic appeal and soon turned over
to Secretary Chase $500, OOO, 900, $780,
100000 Of which he had raised in
single day. About this time he built a

indian chief who had been his play
mate as boy. There he gave magnifi-
cent entertainments.
When Cooke seemed to be Mt the pin
nacle of success disaster came. He had
attempted to construct the Northern
. Pacific Railroad. Money was eaten
up by the millions and in 1873 came a
crash. Cooke was once more a poor
man-except for few thousand dol
lars which he saved from the wreck.
Hls magnificent home went at receiv-
cr's sale and was transformed into a
female seminary.
For most men ruin so complete ut SO
would mean the end of ambition and
energy. Not so with Cooke. The few
thousand he had saved he invested.
