appropriations Amounting s675 900
for the States Institutions.
The finance committee f the house OF
representatives has agreed upon appro-
priations amounting tn $675,000.
The committee set aside funds for
several of the state institutions for next
year and the year following.
The appropriations agreed upon are
as follows: State insane asylum SIS, 900
for an additional water main at the asy-
lum; asylum for the blind $4,000; asy-
lum for the deaf $4,000; state normal
school at Athens $4,000; state insane
asylum $4,000.
The state normal school authorities
asked the finance committee to give
the school $4,000 this year, but
the amount was cut just one
half. No appropriation was made
for 1898 for the school. The ap-
preparation for the insane asylum is just
what was asked for by the authorities
and special committee appointed to visit
the asylum.

SENSATIONAL CHARGES MADE.
SYSTEM OF ELECTING JUDGES
AND SOLICITORS SCORED,
A Certain Judge, if He Had His Just
Deserts, Would Be Wearing Chains
Was One of the Assertions.

The Hopkins bill providing for the
electi IN of Judges and solicitors by the
people of the several circuits, stands a
good showing of becoming law if the
vote taken by the senate is an indication
of its strength.
That vote was one ON disagreeing to
the adverse report of the general judici-
airy committee, and on it twenty-six sen-
ators voted in the negative, which means
in favor of the passage of the bill,
During the progress of debate sensa-
tional limitations and direct charges
We're made by the speakers. 1t was
charged for instance that there were up
on the bench to-day judge who, if he
had his just deserts, would be wearing
chains like some of the men whom he
ha sentenced, This charge was made by
Senator Yancey Carter, and it was sup
p.emented by a statement from that
gentleman to the effect that if he were
pressed he would make more dsclos-
ures.
1t was the talk after the debate that
Senator Carter might be instrumental IN
bringing about impeachm mt proceed
ings, though he would say nothing on
this score himself.
There were many other charges, but
they were aimed at the system mainly.
Wholesale trading in elections before
the legislature was charged by a number
of leading democrats, and in reply to the
suggestion that the judges should not
be forced to take hand in pO tics 5 n
ator Gray made the declaration that iu a
number of instances which he might cite
judges had been elected to that honora-
BILE position simply for the purpose of
making it stepping stone to congress
and for the purpose of securing such an
an acquaintance as would be beneficial
to them in future politics.
Senator Shropshire passed oae of the
strongest criticisms upon that present
system. sit is damnable practice, .
said he. land no honest man can defend
it," Continuing, he asserted that cit
had been charged that men who have
been candidates for these high offices
have not only purchased the election of
their own representatives., but have aid
ed in the same manner in electing the
representatives of other counties"
1t was very lively discussion, and
came fully up to the expectations of
those who had said there would be fun
when the question was up.

WROTE UP HIS OWN SUICIDE.
An Unknown Man Puts His Sensations ON
Paper as He Dies.


After destroying all marks on
Lis clothing which could in any
way lead to his identification, a
well dressed man about 80 years of age
committed suicide at the Kimball hotel,
Chicago, by taking laudanum, He de-
soribed the effects of the drug in writ
ing until his hand could no longer hold
the pencil.
When found the body was lying diago-
nally across the bed, and the memoran-
dunn book and pencil were near by, hav-
ing evidently fallen from his hand. Be-
fore taking the drug he wrote letter to
the hotel proprietor and another to the
press, in which he gave no cause for the
act, other than that his life had term
mated in failure. In both these letters
he made some humorous remarks.
He continued his descriptions of the
effects of the drug until all his strength
had failed him, and some of the last of
it could not be deciphered. AS much
of it as could be made out is as follows:
To NJ. D,-Drank one ounce laudanum.
After five minutes feel little or no paic.
Heart action now pronounced. A slight
pain in stomach. Mote My stomach
is very weak, having suffered for years
from acute dyspepsia.
10 minutes. Condition about the
same. Pulse rapid and pains in wrists
and slight pain in region OF heart. Hand
trembles. A feeling of dizziness with
more pain in all parts of the body
(Note) Will keep this description of
effects as long as possible. Hope it will
be of use to medical science. Eyes show
change. A feeling of drowsiness coming
on. Sort of feeling of intoxication ac-
companied by slight fever.
Twenty minutes Pain increasing. A
slight perspiration started. Am getting
sleepy. Have sort of numb feeling and
no pain.
The last few sentences were scarcely
legible, so unsteady had the writer S
hand become, and, although he attempt
ed to write a few more lines, it could not
be made out.

Their Inhabitants.

unable to crush the insurgent armies.
Captain-General Weyler has, according
to Cuban advices, renewed his war on
non-combatants with savage energy, It
is stated that he some weeks AGO issued
secret order to his commanders in the
various provinces to ''clear the country
OF non-combatants. This order has
been Interpreted by the Spanish com
manders as an edict t, massacre old
men, women and children, aud the re-
suit is an appalling list of bu cherries.
Colonel Strutch, WHO has been operat-
ing in Pinar del Rio at the head of a
thousand men, seems to have been most
active in carrying out Weyler's savage
edict. On November Is he and his com
mand started on raid. They visited
Rio Hondo, Palacic, Paso Real and 9th
er small towns in the southern portion
of Pinar del Rio.
At every place Colonel Strutch gave
lis troops license to loot, bura and muir
der, and the result was that every ham
let visited was destroyed. During the
raid the Spanish troops made prisoners
Of over 800 Cubans, the great majority
OF whom were women and young girls.
These unfortunates were forced to fol-
low the troopers.
BUTCHERED HUNDREDS OF WOMEN.
On the night of November % Colonel
Strutch and his men drank heavily. and
then followed one of the most horrible
occurrences of the war. Iuf1amed by
drink, the Spanish soldiers rushed upon
the helpless prisoners, tore off their
clothing and subjected them to horrible
treatment.
Finally, Colonel Strutch significantly
told his men that it was no use to be
longer bothered by the "Cuban cattle"
The soldiers took the hint and immedi-
ately began firing on the old men, wo-
men and girls. Volley after volley of
lead was fired at the covering and
shrieking creatures, until not one was
left alive.
The bodies of the victims were left for
the vultures, and Colonel Strutch march
ed his command back to headquarters
and reported to Captain General Weyler
that several insurgent camps had been

Colonel Strutch and many of his officers

THE MUD DIET OF LONDONERS.
They Drink Thousand Tons of Mud Each
Year.

Year,
There is nothing like dealing with
large figures, and no doubt the state.
ment by scientific person that London
ers drink in the course of a year 1000
tons of mud will appear to many to dis
close terrible and most dang rous state
Of things. Nothing could be further
from the truth. A thousand tons of mud
would mean, perhaps, about half
pound of mud to each person. 1t will
be certainly not too much to assume that
each half pound of mud does not con-
tain more than two ounces of solid mat
ter, pfopably much less. Now, it is GER
tain that in the course of three or four
windy days in March each person in the
air all day will draw in fully an ounce of
dust, as much as he will swallow in wa
ter during six months. A railway trav-
eler who takes f9w hours journey IN
dry weather has bEt to look at the state
OF his coat and the carriage seat to form
an idea of the amount of dust that must
have entered his mouth, the majority of
which on touching the palate and tongue
is converted int, mud and swallowed.
Thus, then, it will be seen at once how
infinitely small, and how absolutely in
nocuous is the dailFportion of this 1000
tons of mud swallowed by LOndoners,
and how little cause there is for alarm
in the array of figures piled up by the
scientific Investigator, who may frlghten
weak minded people, but they do not in
the slightest degree affect the ordinary
man, or excite in him any feeling wha
ever save indiff erence. London stand

DIVIDED ON THE TARIFF.
Republicans Not Agreed ms to Line of
Policy

Policy
Signs of strife within the ranks of the
republican party are apparent. The
tariff is to be the bone of contention.
The differences in opinion are on the
question whether there should be an ex-
ira session of congress, to enact an en-
tirely new tariff law, and they are as rad
ical as the differences of opinion between
Cleveland and Bryan on the silver ques-
ton. Men like Dingley are for giving
up hope of passing revenue bin at the
coming session. Instead they prefer to
have an extra session to repeal the pres
ent law and put another IN its place.
Senator Quay and those of his way of
thinking favor passing a revenue bill at
the coming session, and seeing how it
works before trying to enact a general
tariff law, thus avoiding an extra SEES
sion.
Interviews with leading men of bust.
ness in different parts of the country
show that all they want is sufficient reve-
nue. for the government needs. That
obtained, they crave nothing from con-
gross SO much as a rest. Tariff debates,
whether for revenue only or protection
bills, have always disturbed business
and it is the wish of business men to
avoid any further disturbance, if posi-
BILE.

SHOULD HAVE BEEN DEFEATED.

Speakers Vote Saves the BIZ to Paw fn-

There is strong sentiment among
the house of representatives that there
ought not to be any expense attached to
the Inauguration of the governor of
Georgia. This feeling among the legis-
ators made itself felt when the joint res
olution to pay the expenses incurred at
the recent Inauguration was put upon
its passage.
Although the joint resolution carried
with it an appropriation of only $3.50
there was opposition to the measure and
it was only saved from defeat by the
vote of speaker Jenkins.

What Fools These MOrtals Be.

British society, including that most
exclusive leader of the London set, the
Hon. William Waldorf Astor, are said
to have received decided shock when
they found that II. R. H., the Prince of
Wales, his family and nearest friends
were All going to Flenheim castle, there
to spend thanksgiving week in the home
of the Duke of Marlborough and his
American wife. If we are to believe the
London writers, Mr.. Astor has been
making a play for the front seat with
Wales for a long time, and as part of
his programme forgot to recognize the
daughter of the Vanderbllts, and in this
he was upheld by British society.
Hence the visit of the prince is likely TO
give the Astors and the London snobs a
decided sense of ennui. Its effects will
be felt in New York, and the old war Of
money between the Astors and the Van
derbilts will be on once more.
