The Liberty BeIps Trip Comes High

There comes from Philadelphia an
after-clap, or possibly an echo, Of the
famous trip of the liberty bell to the
Atlanta exposition two years ago. 1t
seems that it required train of Pull
man cars to transport the bell and it's
various guardians, and attendant COM
mitteeo, from Philadelphia to the ex-
position, and that the bill of the Pull
man company was 81 ,GG2,50 which has
not yet been paid. And what is more,
there seems to be some doubt as to
where the mony is to come from to
pay it.

BILL TO SAVE MRS. MOBILES.
Legislature Comes to the Aid of the Coviot
ed NTurderess,


The Georgia legislature has come to
the aid of Mrs. MOBILES.
1t is highly probable that bill will
be passed which will save the Twiggs
county murderess from the gallows.
Mr.. Berry of Whitefield has intro
buced bill which makes it impossible
for the death sentence to be inhicte d
upon woman who has been found
guilty of murder unless the jury ex-
pressly recommends that she be hang
ed.
The bill does not mention the name
of Mrs. MOBILES and there are some who
think it cannot affect her case, but it is
known that the bill was introduced at
the request Of one who had Mrs. No
bles' case in view. Mr.. Berry says that
the bill will save Mrs. MOBILES If it pass
es in time.
AS the jury which tried Mrs. Mobiles
did not recommend that she be hang
ed the bill will save her life. If it is
found that the bill, asst now stands
will not effect its purpose, it will be
so amended as to fit her case.
1t was stated in the house that the
bill was introduced at the suggestion
of Governor Atkinson, who was anX-
ious to learn the sentiments Of the gen
eral assembly on the subject. The
governor will soon Be called upon to
commute Mrs. Mobiles sentence.

Questions Feasibility OF Taking y pr-
wegiaD Reindeer to ALASKA.
Binghamson. y. Y, Dec. 2s.-Dr. Frictiof
Nansen, the Arctic explorer, who iec-
tured in this city last night, was asked ghat
lie thought of the plan of bringing reindeer
| from Norway. TO get relief to Klon,iise
| miners. He said that il the reindeer vere
| taken overland across the country they
would probably reach Alaska in time TO
accomplish the desired object, and If they
could reach Alaska they would 1ndoubt-
edly be OF great assistance in the .cIief
work. TIE difficulty, however, woald
be to get the deer transported.
DIR. Nansen said that the moss on which
the reindeer subsist was about the Only
food they would eat, and they would
starve before they would eat much of
anything else. They had sometimes hcen
trained to eat bread, but not very success
fully.
While there was an abundance of moss
in Norway, he thought it would be ini,os-
sible to gather it In such quantities a would
be necessary for the feeding of five hun
dred in transportation from Norway to
Alaska.
The deer themselves seemed to know how

He believed that IL five hundred reindeer
were shipped from Norway 1t would lie
impossible to keep more than small
percentage of them alive until Alaska
should be reached.
According TO his opinion, Iceland horses
would be better for this work, for they
would subsist on the moss of the Arctic
regions, and also on hay or other provenJer.
They were also hardy, and would do the
work after they reached Alaska almost as
Well as the deer. 1t would be much easier
to transport them, lie said.

The visit OF the French Commissioner, N.

port to his government upon the conditions
there, is a matter of grave interest to this
country. 1t is likely to result in polite
intimation I rom France that, since we have
been careless enough OF our international
duty, and heartless enough to allow the
outrage and murder or soc, 900 human be-
ings, in sight or our shores, within a year,
without iLterrerence or prot est, we have
vacated the Monroe doctrine as far ls
Cuba noy be concerned, and Justified the

Europe, IL interfering to end the war. This
is what the cowardly and inf amous Cuban
policy or the Administration is bound to
lead to, and unless it be anticipated By
prompt merican action in recognizing the
independence or the island, it will form
the first link in a chain of aggressive Euro
