LET HIM REVEAL HIlISELF.

In his testimony before the investi- gating committee Alderman Chilling worth solemnly and softly introduced a Mysterious Stranger into the street sprinkling mess. Although MT. Chil- lingworth cannot tell who the Mysteri- ous Stranger was it strikes us that 1t is of the utmost importance to know. It is possible that the Mysterious Stranger is the man the city is looking for-the man who knew that the gor- geous advertisement would cost heap of money, and that it's legality was doubtful. He must be the man, for nobody has yet appeared who did know and it is hard to believe that nobody knew. Let the Mysterious Stranger step forth and confess and thus miti- gate the necessity for sacrifice for the sin of ignorance. If he will only do his plain duty perhaps he can save the new and beautiful band-stand.

THE INVESTIGATION.

The Rev. Dr. smyth appeared in two capacities at last evenings session of the Investigating committee. He was first witness and then he became his own counsel. When he was seated he was witness, and when he stood up he was counsel for himself as wit ness. As counsel he protected himself we'll and saw that he had his legal rights. As a witness he refused to answer question that he did not think he ought to answer.
 The testimony of City Clerk Lyon was interesting. It showed that while there was a little natural notice of the mag nitude and gorgeousness of the adver- tisement there was no unnatural effort to prevent it's publication and save the city's money. It also showed that busi- ness was proceeding naturally and regularly in certain quarters.
 There will be another session this eve ming, and tomorrow those who have survived can sing Safely through an- other week."

 Are you in despair about your collar? Then give up a stiff or fitted collar and see to 1t that the back band fits well and is not cut too large. Buy some satin ribbon about three inches wide heavy double-faced, cord edge, and on- ly the best quality is worth bothertng about. Sew 1t firmly by one edge to the neck band, from the middle of the back to the opening at the front Let the ends be long enough to cross in front, return to the back and tie in a swagger bow, the ends being finished with a frill of liberty silk Into the neck band inside the ribbon, sew a frill of liberty silk to come we'll above the ribbon at the back and near to the front. Now, they will draw tight about the inside frill and hold 1t in place. You will be surprised to see how stunning an effect the tall frill gives at the back. and under the chin the ribbon holds up beautifully if you do the crossing care fully, draw the ribbon tight and make the bow at the back firm. The ribbon can be taken off and pressed or pressed without being removed
 For folk with pretty wrists the same finish may be made at the hand, and if preferred a frill can show below the ribbon. In this way the sleeve can be drawn tighter at the wrist than it could ever be made if the hand had to go through it. Belt neck and wrists fin ished in this way are very swagger, and, above all waist and neck are thoroughly comfortable, as well as ap- parently snug and trig, as the fashion now demands. FLORETTE

GOLD IN A FLOuRBAG.

When we borrowed money for our bank in olden times in Northern Arkan- sas," said a banker, I used to go to the neighboring towns and get the gold. Then I had to carry it by stage over the mountains to our place. Of course took mighty good care that no one should know, if I could help it, just when I was to make these trips. I also kept it as secret as possible what my reasons were for going to the other town, talking about mortgages, invest ments, business matters and every thing except transporting gold.
 "At first I would take the bag of gold, just as 1t was given to me in the bank, put it on the seat of the stage, place rug over it and use it for pill low, endeavoring to snatch little sleep during that long night ride. One day somehow l got nervous. l guess it was that mysterious sixth sense some people talk about that worried me. Anyhow. 1 was just trembling all over when I thought of the journey and the gold. I never felt the least bit appre- hensive before. So I went to the gro- cer's and bought a bag of flour, poured out a portion of the contents, and put

THE NEW CH4RrER,

The new chart 1T will soon be in op- eration, and then everybody will have a chance to see how it works. We do not expect as much from it as some do. Its chief merit, if it turns out to be a merit, is that it gives the mayo. more power and makes him more directly re- sponsible. It has serious defects, some of which will show themselves soon. The continuance of the bipartisan system in the Police department is in- defensible if the abolition of it in other departments is defensible And, as av- erybody knows, the charter was not constructed with view to injure the party in power when 1t was made. We think the partisan features of it will in time plague the inventors of them, and it may then be seen that whole-hearted regard for the public-good is, after all, the best thing to put into the making of new charter. But the deed is done, and everybody will hope that it will re- suit in at least some improvement.

 Hold up!"
 "We didn't hesitate and up went our arms, They went all through usand got several dollars and couple of watch es. Then they examined the grips and looked at the bag, I trembled as they opened it and the flour poured out. To my joy they did not examine my bag further, Finally they departed, and tied up my bag with feelings of pro found gratitude, for had they taken the gold I would have been financially ruined"
 You've lost some of your flour, mis- ter" said one of the passengers. Yes I said, but they left the most valuable flour in the bag
 And truly they left $l5,0OO in coin' That was the nearest I came to going under in the early banking days.

had to pass right through the heart of the city, which he approached from De- catur street, and his route lay down that thoroughfare and out Marietta street, The COW would not pass elec- tric cars and the rumbling wagons in the daytime, and Beauchamp thought everything would be all right when the shades of night fell and Atlanta was resting after the excitement of the busy day.
 Beauchamp waited until about 1 O. clock at night, when there was not street car or vehicle on the streets, and then he started up Decatur street with his cow He had not gone many squares before a watchful police officer hailed him and asked him where he got the COW and why he was driving it through the city at such an unusual hour of the night. Beauchamp compli- mented the officer on his vigilance and Atlanta on having such watchful guardians of the peace, and explained the situation. It was some trouble, be- cause the COW would not stand still, and he was in a profuse precipitation. He was at last permitted to proceed on his way after having lost fifteen min utes But he was an honest citizen, and did not wish to rest under any sus- picion.
 He had not gone two squares further before he was stopped by Another po- | liceman, and he again explained the circumstances Another fifteen min utes were lost It chanced that the very hour Beauchamp had selected for his night trip through the city was when the watches of the police force had just been changed, and he began to | encounter all the fifty or sixty police men who were on their way home, Nearly every one of them stopped him and he was obliged to explain himself and his COW. He was getting mad, but he would not show It. Finally he reached the city barracks, where Capt Thompson and several officers were sit ting out on the sidewalk. They hailed him, and Capt Thompson asked:
 What will you take for that cow mister?"
 Beauohamp mopped his dripping brow as he replied: T know you want to ask me what am doing out on the streets at this time of night with 8 COW. So just ask it."
 Well, that's what I will do,'' replied the police Captain And Beauchamr for about the fortieth time explained l the situation.
 T don't think you will ever get thai COW home" remarked Capt Thompson gravely, flor you will have to pass foul or five more policemen on Marietta street"
 Good Lord!' exclaimed Beauchamp I've a good notion to give the blamed COW away. She has already cost me more trouble than she is worth. It haf got so that she stops every time she sees policeman"
 He was allowed to proceed on his way and in about ten minutes there came ring at the telephone. The cal officer answered the ring, and turning to Capt. Thompson, he said;
 "An officer has found a strange mar driving a COW through the street"
 That's Beauchamp in more trouble, the Captain said; just tell the officer that the stranger has passport"
 It is presumed that Beauchamp an( his COW got home all right before breakfast. But he will doubtless never undertake to drive another CON through Atlanta at night.-The Atlants Constitution.

THE SPEED OF TROLLEY CARS,

At what rate of speed should trolley cars run through the streets? Discuss ing this interesting and important question the Pennsylvania Supreme court said that it was not prepared to lay down any rule in regard to the rate of speed. Electric cars, the court said bear relation to the public in cities different from that of vehicles propelled by horses. They have been created to facilitate the movements of the general public, and to furnish rap- i'd transit for citizens between their homes and the business centre. In all great cities they are practically in~ ,s- pensable. They move upon a track from which they cannot turn, which is plainly visible, and which is prepared with view to the rapid movement of cars upon it. The cars can be seen and heard for considerable distances, and are required to warn persons who may be upon their tracks of their approach
 Thus arguing, the court concluded that the purpose of the owners of the cars and the demand of the public are that the greatest rate of speed consistent

BEAUCHAAIP AND HIS COW.

Unforeseen Obstacles to Leading Her
 Quickly Through the City at Night.
 There are a great many different kinds of trouble in this world, but J. F
 Beauchamp, a well-known citizen, had an experience with a COW on Friday night which puts him in the category with the modern Jobs. Beaucnamp bought a COW in Gwinnett county and undertook to get her to his home in At lanta, which is out on Marietta street, near Collins bTiekyard. The COW never before having seen the sights in a great city became unruly as soon as she reached the limits Saturday after noon. Then it was that Beauchamp struck upon the happy thought of lead ing his COW through the city after dark l we're was no help for it. lie

few weeks ago a London hotel keeper paid nearly s1,400 for an egg of +be great aux. There are only seventy or seyenty-two of these remarkable specimens in existence, so far as IS known, and many of these are cracked or badly broken Their value has gone I'D enormously within the last few years. In 1880 a Paris dealer sold one for about S1. and few years later one went for about three-fifths of that sum. These two specimens are now in the Pbiladelphia museum. A specimen now in the Breslau museum changed hands in 1892 for $10, but when sold again in 1870 brought s150. In 1894 an English lord paid s1, 800 for a fine spec inen. The record price paid for this huge egg, however. was that of S1,65O, which was given in 1895 for the Edin- burgh Museum of Science. The great egg measures about four inches and three-eights in length and averages two and three-quarters in it's greatest diam eter. Its color is dirty cream-white, blotched. streaked and lined with a reddish einnamon-brown.

Tn the years 1889 and 1892 8 society in Portland, Oregon, introduced four hundred pairs of song birds from Ger many into that State, at an expense of little more than s2,000. Of these the plain and black-headed nightingales have probably become extinct, because few of them survived the long trip and none has since been seen, but the other species have multiplied with great rapidity, especially the skylarks, which rear from two to four broods every year, so that the whole William cite valley, from Portland to Roseburg, as full of them. Besides these there are black starlings, wood larks, song thrushes, black thrushes, bullfinches, crossbeaks, robin redbreasts, linnets, singing quails, goldhammers and forest 6nches.

The design suggested is that of southern matron, with the true plantation 'Uncle'' and Nanny" as her supporters, and the white boy and girl they loved and helped to train, as further figures. This would be inter esting as memorial of state of soci- ety that existed before the war.

Ec"per's Weekly says: A new law
In Massachusetts, makes the possession
Of the skin or feathers of any birds
which is protected by the laws of that
State punishable by the same penalty
as is imposed for killing the birds
This seems to mean that the guileless
maid who buys her feathers of milli-
1er runs as much risk of fine or i'm
prlsonment as the hard-hearted man.
with a-gun who goes out and pots the
olrd. In State where a schoolmas-
ter is less comprehensively abroad
Than in Massachusetts this law might
make trouble, but the presumption is
that in the Bay State every schoolgirl
is ornithologist enough to know which
birds are protected citizens, and which
are aliens and safe to wear. The os-
'ensible purpose of the new law is to
preserve the birds which eat the bugs
which feed on the crops of Massachu-
setts but the promoters of the law are
not likely to grieye if it goes beyond
that and discourages the wearing of
feathers in hats altogether.
