FORFEITED RAILROAD LANDS.
A Former Action of the Interior De-
Dartment Re-afirmed.

Washington, Aug. 12.-Acting Secretary
Ryan of the interior department to-day
reafirmed a former action of the depart
ment in the matter of forfeited lands Of
the Mobile and Girard land grants in Ala
bama, involving about 200, 900 acres. The
lands of the uncompleted road were for
feited under the general forfeiture railroad
laws, but the law contained a provision
protecting bona fide purchasers of lands
which had been patented to the company.
Through several alleged sales and pur-
chases the Perdido Land Company claim
ed to have purchased the right in the for
feited lands The decision to-day denies
that right and holds the forfeited lands
as restored to the public domain.

MACON COTTON MEN KICKING.

Macon, Ga, Aug. 12.-Cotton factors and
merchants protest against the cotton rates
fixed by the railroad commission. Last
year the rate was "A cents. 1t is claimed
that the rate of "a cents out of Macon will
take away thousands Of bales that other
wise would come here. Last year the
rate was "A cents, and even az this the de-
crease in the quantity of Mac0ns receipts
was large. Under the schedule just fixed
cotton men say that both the cotton bust

probable that a meeting of the board of

In all human probability the Prince Of

the short cut to save time, as he was on i'm
portant business. When in the middle of
the subway be met Roland, and after
found out that they could not pass each
other. Then an argument rose as to
which should go back. Yates explained
that he was going to compete against
several other brewers for the supply of
several public houses owned by syndi-
cate. Roland frankly admitted that he
was on pleasure bent but firmly refused
to walk back to Tower Hill. The men re-
manned there arguing for half an hour, dur
ing which time fully dozen persons en-
tered the tunnel from one end or the
other, and finding their passage blocked
were forced to retire. Finally Yates de-
cIded TO retire from the scene, and make
his way back to Tooley street. Later he
brought suit against Roland for $4,000
damages, asserting that he had lost the
opportunityto extend his business through
him. The court held that if there was
cause for suit at all 1t was against the
city and not against Roland, and the lat
ter was discharged. the city, however,
had protected itself by returning to each
man his half-penny foliage, and the case
was soon dropped,
Owing to the financial failure of its tun-
mel, the company which owned it has re-
ceived $50 900 from the corporation as
compensation for the loss OF takings, and
now steps are to be taken at once to close
up the strange old passageway.

Simplicity Is Hrt.

The merits of simple and artistic effects
in furniture need no special mention. The
era of stiffness and tawdry display is, to
a great extent, relic of the past, and
even the manufacturers of the cheap
grades of furniture are making praise
worthy attempts to exemplify the health
full and esthetic tendencies Of the times.
Not SO very long ago, says the Washington
correspondent of the Pittsburg Dispatch,
there was an excess of ornamentation and
display, which is giving place to better
taste and greater beauty and simplicity
design and effect. The masses-in con-
formity with the wonderful progress OF
this latter day-are evincing better iudg-
ment and more exacting discrimination
in their demands, and are not content
with the gaudy and vulgar productions of
twenty or thirty years ago.
Within the past decade or two fashion
has been very tickle and changeful, but
through all the numerous variations of
style there has been a strong and whole
some unde-current toward greater sim
plcity and harmony. Particularly has
this been true of bedroom furniture. The
beautiful effects now prevalent, while sat

novelty, have yet in no way detracted
from the wonted convenience of the vari.
Gus accessories of the chamber. Bedroom
furniture nowadays is as beautiful IN idea
and finish as the most celebrated exam
pies OF the most famous makers in the.
past, and, furthermore, are far better
suited to their uses. Wardrobes were for
merry built essen tally for tie 'warding
of robes" anu then facilities were limited
to hanging space and trays and drawers.
Their interiors were uniformly very
simple, and mahogany was invariably
used. a bedroom was not, in the days of
our mothers, considered complete without
a cheval Of glass, which was ugly and
awkward. These costly and cum brous
mirrors have been dispensed with, and are
rarely seen outside OF servants quarters
or Sc secondhand stores.
Our toilet tables are much more con-
venient than the ones our ancestors used
They were. as a rule, plain and fitted with
a movable glass and one or two drawers,
which, as they were i'm Immediately below
the mirror, restric ed the space on the top
of the table. Vastly superior are the
toilet tables that our ladies use.

The mirror is fixed and the necessary
drawers are raised above the surface of the
table, out of the way, and in nowise tres
Passing upon the room of the table top.
Washstands are similarly improved.
Judged by the present standard those of
a couple of generations ago were ridicu.
lousy small and crude, be they ever so
gaudy and ornate. They belied their name
for their size and shape almost forbade a
"good wash" And they were so con-
structed as not to close up when not in use
Sanitary science has shown the usefulness
of such a practice and modern washstands
are made in conformity with the prin CT
pes of hygiene and sanitation.
In the chair and cabinet work for up.to-
date halls in newly Quilt houses the char
acteristic of the compactness and con-
venience of modern furniture is parficu-
larry marked. This apartment is usually
of small dimensions, and consequently
condensed accommodations are hi hly
essential Any innovation which affords
convenience and at the same time mini
mics space is welcome boon.

Still the quaint old place is recalled
