VACCINATED BY FORCE.
Atlanta Negroes Locked Up and Com
PEELED to Submit to the Doctors.


Atlanta, Ca, Dec. 9-The enforcement
of the edict of the Atlanta board Of
health that every inhabitant of the city
must be vaccinated is creating number
less exciting and ridiculous situations.
Last night the physicians assigned to
the work were accompanied by policemen,
as often they met with violent opposition.
When the doctor assigned to the negro
society section arrived at house where
a marriage in the exclusive set was in
progress the officer locked the doors, and,
though the bridegroom protested vigor>
ously, the bride and all the attendants
were vaccinated.
This morning the city court of Judge
Read was thronged with negroes of all
sorts and conditions. when the judge or
dered the doors barred and physicians op-
Grated on every auditor in the room. A
scramble was made for the windows, as
the negroes have a superstitious fear of
the virus but each outlet was thoroughly
guarded and they had to submit.

HAD 40 SWEETHEARTs.
louisville Clerk Made Love to Them
AlI-SaIarv 50. 90 Per Week.

Louisville, Ky, Dec &C. r. Felts, a
young man of good address and fault
less appearance, was arraigned in the po>
lice court yesterday on a charge of shop
lifting preferred by c. E. Overstreet &
Co., by whom he was employed. Mr..
Overstreet showed a disposition not to
prosecute, and the young man svvas given
time to leave the city. He left at once
for st. Louis. 1t is said Mr.. Overstreet
paid for the ticket.
F'elts had been employed by Oyerstreet
& Co. for twenty months in charge of the
silk counter. He was paid a salary of 81
weekly. Felts paid $3.50 weekly for
board. He admitted that he had been
stealing for IS months, but declared that
he had never sold a stolen article. He had
always given them away. During that
time a sweetheart is said to have given
him money at frequent intervals Whether
he had any other means of income is not
known. When detectives searched Felts'
room they found photographs of 35 or 40
young women, some of whom move in
the swelIest society circles, and some of
whom are married. Felts is said to have
been on intimate terms with many OF
them, and had the case come to trial
some startling developments might have
been made
The mystery of the whole is how Felts
could make a living and support himself
in manner sufficient to win the hearts
of so many women upon a salary of 81
weekly. The amount of his stealings is
unknown, but there was absolutely no
goods or received any money in return
therefor. The only theory is that he
made presents of silks and other goods to
his young women friends.

BIG ORDER OF MANGANESE.
Illinois Steel Works Places a Colo
RADIO Order for 10000 Tons.


Denver, Dec. 9-Colorado has demon
strated that it can produce certain
classes of metalliferous ores and lay
them down in Chicago in successful
competition with foreign ores, notwith-
standing the removal of the tariff by
the last congress.
For several months the Illinois Steel
mense daily shipment of manganese
iron ore from the Leadville district. This
ore has been handled in direct compe-
tition with the product of all other
parts of the world and successfully
withstood every test. Col. George w.
Cook has been unremitting in his eff
forts to fight off the fierce competition
and claimed that the removal of the
duty was direct blow at the interests
of Colorado. So he gathered the choic-
est specimens of the ores to be found
in the PeadviIle district and carried
them personally to the chemist of the
steel company, and watched the as
says with jealous eyes to see that eve
ry point was counted. Then, armed
with the facts relating to the quality
of the ore, he called on President Gates
of the steel company and entered a bid
for the further patronage of the COM
pany, in addition to the amount it was
already receiving.
So favorable were the inducements
held forth that yesterday a contract
was closed for 40, 900 tons of the ore, to
be shipped from the North Star mine

the old city.
The mayor invited today about 100
prominent citizens to meet him at Del
monico's on Thursday evening next to
discuss the matter. All the living ex-
mayors have been particularly requested
to attend. The mayor said:
Il do not know what suggestions may
come out of the meeting, but we ought
not permit ourselves to be absorbed, for
glorys sake, without paying just respect
to the city to the memories of New Ann
sterdam and Father Knickerbocker. AT
the meeting proposed on December 81
there might be sketches of old New York;
ers, like Governor Stuyvesant and the old
burghers In fact. the growth of the in
fant city and its resources into the sturdy
municipality, with its vast shipping facil>
tiles. its schools and parks, its manifold
institutions and it's wealth, could be re-
produced in tableaux. Then, as the hour
of midnight is being sounded, the gather>
ing could resolve itself into a solemn
watch meeting seeing the old city go
out with the old year."

trusted member of the firm, skipped out
with $1,000 belonging to his partners.
Many of them are destitute, but will not
accept work in any of the laundries for

CAN MAKE GOLD.


Mr.. Brice Insists That He Can Manufac-
ture the Precious Metal.
E. @. Brice, whose claim to a proc
ess for creating gold and silver from
chemically pure antimony and other
base metals has been under investiga-
tion by a commission of mint experts,
with only negative results, has made
application to the commissioner Of pat
ents for another test.
In his request he asserts that the
commission did not follow his direc-
tions in important particulars. Ingre-
dients, he alleges, were used which
were inimical to his process, and
that he himself produced gold from
chemically pure antimony, sulphur and
iron after the commissioners had failed
with the same materials, and that they
then declared that by whatever process
gold and silver might be obtained from
any other materials it simply showed
that gold and silver were in the metals
before the process was used. Exchange
