LIKES TO HUG WOMEN.

1t seems there ia man in Atlanta who
has Il mania for hugging pretty women

York, some months ago and created such

TRANS of that great tboroughfare by en-
bracing all the plump figures which
CHANGED to come his way. The creature
in Atlanta has been operating very much
on the same order, and within the past
few weeks number of good-looking wo-
men have been rudely Rugged on the
streets and in one instance on an electric
car. The latter offense wts committed u
few nights ago on Il West End car, and
the victim was Il beautiful young mar
ried woman who is we'll known in the So
cial world. This unwholesome hugger
gets in his work in the most startling
way, and at the time when no one is sus-
pect!ng his presence. He throws his arms
around his victims, gives them two or
three desperate embraces and then van
ishes from sight before any one can lay
hold OF him. He has bobbed up in different
portions of the town and so far the police
and the detectives have been unable to
locate him. He is said to be we'll dressed
and possessed of all the outward appear
ances of gentleman, but outside of this
there has been no clue discovered as to

ELECTRIC BITrERS

Electric Bitters is a medicine suited for
any season, but perhaps more generally
needed when the languid, exhausted feel
ing prevails, when the liver is torpid and
sluggish and the need of tonic and
Alternative is felt. A prompt use of this
medicine has often averted long and per-
haps fatal bilious fevers. No medicine
will act more surely in counteracting
and freeing the system from malarial
poison. Headache, Indigestion, Consti-
patton, Dizziness yield to Electric Bitters.

Sunday by Mate Frank Finster, of the
tug Regis. A large crowd was fishing
from the Regas, and fish were biting fast.
Nearly all of the bait was exhausted and
some of the fishermen were cutting up
small fish for bait Mr.. Finster cut the
head of little black fish and the bright
spark rolled out on the deck. Several
gentlemen who were waiting for piece
of bait saw the flash of the diamond as
it came from che throat of the fish and
every one was struck with wonder at the
occurrence. On further examination and
a closer search for more diamonds the
little jeweled fish yielded up small conk
and q good sized toiled shrimp. The
shrimp had evidently been taken from a
fisherman's line. as several of the party
had been using shrimp for bait. The dia.
mond found in the fish Is about three
fourths carat. 1t WIS probably lost ovei-
board from a ring while Its .owner was
fishing and was caught and swallowed by
the fish as it reached the bottom OF the

NO FAITH IN THE QUOT CURE
The Louisville Courier-Journal says:
GA Louisville gentleman who has at
tanned the ripe age of 80 years and is still
hale and hearty, attributes his longevity
to exercise at quot. pitching for two hours
every duy. The game Of quoits Is an an
| cient and honorable one, and the gentle
exertion iJ requires is unquestionably
beneficial to health. but this recipe for
attaining long life is no better than thou
sands of others. Exercise, prudence in
diet and regular habits unquestionahly
do much to prolong life, but instances of
extreme and vigorous old age cannot be
attributed to any of these. Men live long
and retain their faculties to exceptional
years mainly because they have been fla
vored by nature with extraordinary con-
situations. Physical powers can be con-
served, but the lack .of inherent vitality
can no more be made up for than the man
| of ordinary muscular development can

LEGALLY EXECUTED.
James Lewis, Assailant ..of Old Mrs. Rel
del, Hanged Yesterday.

del, Hanged Yesterday.
Fairfax. Va, June flames Lewis,
the negro who criminGlly assaulted Mrs.
Reidel, an aged German lady, living at
Rose Hill farm a few miles south of this
city, several weeks ago, WAS hanged for
the crime mt the county jail at Fairfax
Court House this morning at 5 o'clock,
so as to avoid the presence of n large
crowd and any excitement Lewis was
quite cool, and walked to the gallows
without assistance.
He confessed his guilt yesterday in the
presence of r. S. Donohoe, editor of the
Fairfax Herald; Rev. Robert Nourse, of
Falls Church; Sheri e George Gordon, and
Rev. IL. ID. Brewer, n colored minister.
Lewis had been hopeful until this morn
ing that he would be pardoned OF at least
given another trial, and that is the reason
that he has not confessed before.
IL DIR. Nourse called to see Lewis in the
morning, and advised him for the peace of
his soul not to die with lie on his lips.
Lewis seemed much affected when the
minister lett, and Mr.. Nourse believed he
was on the verge of confession. When he
returned late with some friends, including
Mr.. Donohoe, whom he wished to be pres
ent as witnesses, Lewis became suspi-
cious, and protested his innocence. He
told Mr.. Donohoe to call again, that he
had something to say to him. Mr. Dom
oboe accordingly returned to the jail in the
afternoon, taking with him the above
named persons, to whom Lewis made his
confession OF guilt.
He gave NO particulars, but simply said
that he was guilty of the crime of which
he was convicted. He signed n written
statement, acknowledging his guilt,
which is now in possession of Mr.. Done
hoe.
James Lewis has confessed to three
other assaults besides the one he was
hanged for to-day, His statement Is
that in 1877 he assaulted colored girl
named Lucy Needs. aud in 1888 he com
mitted the same offense upon Edmonia
Gardner, another colored girl. His third
victim was white woman 25 years old,
whose name he did not know. This crime
was committed in 1892. One of the col.
ored girls never told on him. For the
offense against the other he served twelve
months in Jail. For the assault upon the
white woman he was never arrested as
she did not know him when he assaulted
her. He saw her several times afterward,
but she did not recognize him.

MR.. BRYAN's VIEWS.

Hou. j. Bryan in a recent interview
at Cleveland, Ohio with n correspondent
OF the Atlanta Constitution, comprehen.
siyely outlines existing political condi-
tions Among other things he said:
ssThere will be no prosperity for this
country until the gold standard is abol-
ished. Imsde this prediction during mr.
campaign, and history is hearing out my
prediction. The proposed tariff bill, II
passed, will not give us any prosperity.
Whether we have low tariff or high tariff.
the result is the same, so long'as the OBJ
noxious gold standard prevails. Our
people are divided on the tariff issue, and
for that reason we want to keep it in the
background, and keep the real issue, the
fight for silver, to the front.
"There has been great change among
the people in favor Of silver. I have no.
ticed this among the people have talked
with. The recent local elections are very
Significant. They show how great has
been the change in favor OF silver. We
will certainly win in 1900. My Ohio
friends say that there will be great De-
mocratic victory in this State this fall,
and am inclined to think they know
what they are talking about.
Cuba should be free, but do not
think that it is the intention of the pres
emit administration to help her very much.
