GUYING THE GOVERNOR.
A New York Newspapers Mistake
Makes AtkinsOn's Friends Merry.


Makes AtkinsOn's Friends Merry.
Atlanta, Ca, June 25.-Gov. Atkinson
has become the subject of a huge joke
which his friends perpetrate upon him
whenever opportunity occurs.
The governor of West Virginia, as the
dispatches show, was married day or
two ago to a wealthy widow, named Cam
den. In winding up her first husbands
estate, she met with difficulties and an in
dictment was found about the time of her
marriage, charging her with forgery. The
similarity of names first attracted atten-
ton TO the matter, but that was not so bad
till a New York paper published the ar
ticle. with large cut of Gov. Atkinson of
Georgia, as already narrated in the Morn
ing News. His curly locks are unmistak-
able, and the jokers are annoying him I'M
mercifully.

route now proposed runs from Port

Bussorah the main line crosses the
Shat-el+Arab and Karum rivers by
swing bridges, and follows the coast
line Of the Persian gulf and Makran to
Kurrachee. Such line would reduce
the time between London and Kurra-

through regions where British infu7

New Proce.. OF pleachins.

A new process of bleaching has been
brought forward by means of which
there is produced a clear white in cot
ton without any deterioration in fiber.
In starching machine the material to
be bleached is treated with I've to
which bisulphide of soda and an aka
line chloride have been added and the
goods subjected to heavy pressure.
They are then transferred to a steam
ing apparatus, in which they remain 80
to 60 minutes. The other operations
of bleaching are of the ordinary kind.
The addition of alkaline chloride to the
I've dissolves the gummy matter and
capsules in the fiber.

Ring Made of a Diamond.

A ring recently exhibited at Ant
werp was the admiration of diamond
cutters and merchants, because it was
the first successful attempt to cut a
ring out of single stone. There are a
great many difficulties in this method
of cutting diamonds, as the stones have
o certain cleavage and particular veins,
all of which have to be carefully studied
in order to prevent splitting just as sue
cess seems within reach. After several
unsuccessful attempts and three years
labor the feat has been accomplished
by the patience and slall of M. Anton,
one of the best-known lapidsries of
Antwerp. The ring is about six
eighths of an inch in diameter. In the
Marlborough cabinet there is a ring
cut out of one entire and perfect sap
phire. HtfH#

. tv.. Ia Reach the Pole! ssts.4,

Lieut., Peary, of the. engineer corps
of the navy, has been granted leave OF
absence for Ave years by Secretary
Long. Mr.. Peary will make another
effort to reach the north pole. This
summer he intends going to Green
land on a preliminary voyage, simply
for the purpose of arranging with a
number of Eskimos to meet him. at
Whale sound and go north with him a
year hence. .ytrr
In 1898 and 1899 Lieut.. Peary hopes to
plant his outposts ON the northern
coast of. Greenland in latitude $3.50,
and he wants the Eskimos to 60 there
and keep his stations winter and sum-
mer. In the first year of the coming
century Lieut.. Peary hopes to make a
successful dash to the pole and back
from these stations. His chances OF
success are considered good by arc
tic experts.
Secretary Long has been savagely
criticised for giving Lieut.. Peary such
a long leave of absence, with pay. But
the explorer gives up his pay, and the
expedition will not cost the govern
ment penny. All he wants the leave
of absence for is that he may have here
employment to fall back upon when
he returns from the north.
Lieut.. Peary's arctic venture will cost
from $4,000 to $4,000, and he has
raised the money for it among the peo-
pie of New York.
The coming voyage will be his fifth
journey to the far north. His first
trip to the arctic region was made in
1886, and the subsequent journeys were
in 1891, 1898 and 1896 respectively. Mr.
Peary will start on his preliminary ex-
petition between July and July IS
next for the northern coast of Green
land, and he will return in the latter
part of September.
