HARRY HILLS NEW BERTH.
He Has Been Made General SUPER
visor of n Georgia Railroad.


Atlanta, Ca, April 3.-Harry Hin, the
noted ex-convict, who was recently par
doned by Gov. Atkinson, has struck a
good job.
Circulars were received here to-day an
nouncing that he has been appointed gem
eral supervisor OF the Northeastern rail-
road by Ed A. Richards who has the
property leased from the state.
The appointment dates from March 20
1t was made at the New York office Of
MIR. Richards, and Hill is still in that city,
but will shortly return to Georgia and
assume the duties Of his new position.
His duties will embrace all matters per-
tanning to the maintenance OF way,
bridges and terminal stations of the road.
He will report to MIR. Richards and have
a lot of men under his orders
Harry Hill started out In life as a rail-
road conductor on the Georgia road, and
IL was while in that position that he first
came into public notice as the dandiest
conductor that ever used a punch. He
has never been back to Atlanta since be-
ing sent TO the penitentiary from here,
and II was said at the time Of his re-
lease that one of the conditions attached
was that he was to leave the state, but
IL appears that this was at least a sitter
requirement that had been imposed.

especial interest is being discussed in the
private sessions-perhaps something as en-
livening to the general public as technical
questions on the arbitration treaty; yet
the galleries must be instantly vacated
and curious throngs stand outside the
doors, eager to catch the faintest rumor
of what is going on inside. Yesterday
the handsome Mrs. Cushman Kellogg
Davis, wife of the senator from Mime
sofa, came to the reserve gallery with a
gay group of fashionably dressed friends
because ii had been announced in the
morning papers that her husband would
that day make noteworthy argument on
the arbitration treaty. But hardly were
the ladies seated and their furbelows set
tied when along came ruthless door
keeper and turned them all out, just be-
cause the Senate desired to discuss the
treaty, or maybe to treat 1t minus the
first syllable of that word, In executive
session. The senator did make his speech
and a magnificent and able effort il was,
but unfortunately nobody heard 1t but a
selfish lot of senators who shut every
body else out, and were very properly
characterized by the ladies' of Mrs. Davis
party as 'just too mean for anything"

FRUIT AND THE FREEZE.
state Commissioner of Agriculture
Thinks the Crop VIII BE Large.

Atlanta, Ca, April 3.-Despite the fact
that fully 50 per cent. Of the peaches on
the trees have been killed by the freezes
of the past week. Commissioner Of Agrl-
culture Nesbit is of the opinion that there
will still be a bountiful crop.
Il have seen the early crop nipped be-
fore" said he to-day, land as a rule,
when there is anything like reasonable
amount of fruit left on the trees, the or
chards yield good crops and the fruit Is
of a better quality than when there Is no
cold TO nip the early crop.
"The farmers are badly behind hand,
but they have time to catch UP and make
good crops. II the weather moderates
within a short time, which II doubtless
will, and l am disposed to take a cheer
full view of the prospect, although II
looks gloomy enough at present.
IF there comes no more cold weather
think that we may look for reasonably
fair supply of peaches and apples, and
small fruits generally, throughout this
section Of the state"

nandina md TaIIabassee

nnndina and Tallahassee.
Fernandina, Fla, April 3.-something Of
a filibustering nature Ia evidently In the
wind. as Spanish Consul Polus of Jack
sonville arrived on the evening train and
the report by passengers on the train
from Jacksonville is that the Vesuvius

sonville.

very much excited during the day and
has been hurrying around the city which
is very unsual He has been seen also In
earnest conversation with some Of the
men who have been hanging around the
city and wing have been identified as Span
ish spies. and who. he told the Morning
News correspondent, he did not know
Mr.. Carrie was at the station this after
noon awaiting the arrival OF the train
when the Morning News correspondent
asked him what his unsual excitement
was all about He also asked who he was
expecting on the train and II Consul Polus
was coming over. He said he did not
know, but that he wished he would. How
ever. when the train slowed up at the
back street crossing, Mr.. Carrie boarded
the train and left IL In company with
Consul PoluS. Inc TWO TOOK back street
to Mr.. Carlos house, so Consul Carlo
knew more about IL than he cared to say.
Another man who has been identified as
a Spanish spy, was at the station passing
restlessly up and down the platform await
ing the arrival Of the train. His name Is
Swarrs. No sign of any filibustering Is
apparent along the river front.
Tallahassee, Fla, April s-The cruiser
70 Pensacola for coal. Another war ship Is
daily expected to take her place. There
was a lively time this morning among the
Cubans who have been quartered here for
the past few weeks. IL is said that they
left town, but no one seems to know where
they went, only that they went toward
the coast Many surmise that an expedi-
ton Is about TO depart from some point on
the coast south of Tallahassee.

THE GOLDEN AGE There seems to
be an instructive longing In every human
breast for better days to come. Thus we
also find that most men look back to q
time when the world was free from sin,
when there was no strife between man and
man; when selfshness and greed were un-
known and everyone dwelt safely under his
vine and fix tree. All the classical legends
OF the Golden Age had their origin in the
history of Paradlse.-Dr. A. Guttmacher,

THE GIANT MAN.--Man is the only

joins continent to continent: he makes the
winds and waves his messenger. and he
levels forests and drains swamps.-Rev. T.
