MONARCH NOT A FILIBUsTER.
Capt. Lewis Says He Was Prospect
ing the Sponge Fields.

Jacksonville, Fla, April Capt. w. T.
Lewis of this city, who was on the tug
Monarch, when that vessel was captured
by the revenue cutter Winona, near Baya
Honda key last Monday, returned to the
city this morning.
Capt. Lewis says that the capture of the
tug was an outrage, as she was violating
no law. He says that he was on board
prospecting the sponge fields, with a view
of going into the sponging business, but
that he has given up the idea in disgust,
for If he has to take the chances of be-
ing arrested every few days by a revenue
cutter and be towed into Key West har-
Dor, there can be no money in it.
The Monarch was tOwed to Key West by
the Winona, and is still in custody of the
collector of the port. Capt. Lewis left
Key West Wednesday night on the Plant
steamer, and arrived at Port Tampa
Thursday afternoon.
He said that he did not learn any Cuban
news from the passengers from Havana,
and heard nothing whatever about the
sentencing of Gen. Rivera to be shot this
morning at sunrise.
The captains name has been frequently
mentioned in connection with flibustering
expeditions, but he declares that he knows
nothing whatever about any expedition
being carried by the Monarch or any other
vessel, from Charlotte harbor or any
other place.

Athens, Ca, April 2.-There was a pa

night when Mrs. Lipscomb bade the Of
Tending girls. who had taken in the city

Tonight all is changed. and the girls

stated them.
The trustees of the institute made a
personal appeal in behalf of the young
ladies, on the ground that the incident
was the result of girlish thoughtlessness.
The principal received scores of tele-
grams from patrons OF the school, asking
the reinstatement OF the young ladies.
Many of the most prominent citizens of
Athens and the strongest friends of the
institute called on Mrs. Lipscomb and
begged her TO allow the girls TO remain.
SO she rescinded her order suspending
them, and will allow them to remain, but
they will be given the severest discipline
of the school, short of absolute suspension.

SOUTHERN MUTUAL SENSATION.
Directors Claim the Receivership Is
Scheme to Get Fees.

Directors Claim the Receivership Is
Scheme to Get Fees.
Atlanta, Ga, April 2.-The directors of
the Southern Mutual Building and Loan
Association are in a state of turmoil, and
something of a sensational nature is liable
to crop out before the flutter is over.
In pursuance to the call of the local d.
rectors, issued several days ago. the board
of directors held a meeting here to-day,
at which all were present with the excep-
ton of Hon. r. l.. Berner.
President M. A. O'Byrne of Savannah
came up and presided at the meeting.
which was held behind closed doors. after
some discussion upon the proposition to
hold an open session.
After the meeting was over II was stated
by one of the directors that committee
had been appointed to employ attorneys
to take legal steps to get the association
out of the hands of the receivers. Jugde
j. A. Anderson of Atlanta and NJ. A.
O'Byrne of Savannah are the receivers.
The directors, or at least some of them,
claim that there is no excuse at all for
the receivership, as the association, as re-
CARDS its creditors, is perfectly solvent.
They contend that II cannot be declared
insolvent with reference to its stockhold-
ers, and that, therefore, the courts have
no right to continue in charge of it.
The sensational charge in the proceed-
ings is that the directors claim that there
are lawyers connected with the associa-
ton who worked to have the receiver
ship created for the purpose of pocketiag
the costs. For this reason it was de-
cided to employ outside counsel to bring
a bill before the court to take the asso-
citation out of the hands of the receivers.
In this bill it is likely that the charges
of collusion made in the meeting to-day
will be Incorporated in a sensational fasn-
ion.

Ex-POstmaster Wilson of Savannah
an Applicant for appointment.

Atlanta, Ga. April 2.-Prof. A. ". Will
son. now principal of the Marietta street
school, formerly postmaster of Savannah,
has come to the front as a formidable ap-
plicant for the postmastership of Atlanta
Prof. Wilson has not taken much of an
active part in local republican affairs,
and is not on Col. Bucks list, but he
talks as if he had some winning cards
up his sleeve and is giving the other ap-
plicants for the position a good deal of
uneasiness.
Prof. Wilson says he was the best post
master Savannah ever had, and is modest
enough to declare that he thinks he is
the finest postmaster that ever held Of
flee in the south. He is on terms of per-
sonal intimacy with President Mckinley,
and for this reason, as well as for his
brilliant qualifications as postmaster he
is confident that he will land, despite
Buck, Blodgett and others of the old
guard.

Lively Fight Ahead Over street Rail-

Atlanta, Ca, April 2.-The council COM
mittee to which was referred the proposed
ordinance compelling the Consolidated
Street Railwal company to grant transfers
to cross town passengers, held public
meeting this afternoon and after hearing
warm speeches from a number of promi-
nent citizens unanimously agreed to re-
port the ordinance back to council with
the recommendation that it be passed.
President Hurt of the consolidated who
has always fought the proposed transfer
system. for which the public has been
clamoring for years, refused to attend the
meeting, but sent in a written communi-
cation. In this he threw down the gauntlet
to the city council and practically detied
the council to pass the proposed ordinance.
If ii is passed his company will fight it to
the death in the courts.
Mayor Collier took prominent part in
the meeting. He attacked the Consolida-
ted companys general policy, and sta
ted that upon an investment of l,500, coo
the company has $2,0O0000 of bonds and
5000. 900 of stock upon which it is paying
interest and dividends. The company,
however, claims that ii is not making any
money and for that reason opposes trans
fers, on the plea that it will cut down its
revenues greatly.
1t is believed that the council will pass
the ordinance at it's next meeting which
will precipitate an intensely interesting
local municipal anti-corporation fight.

THE EDUCATED JAW.

From the Boston Herald.
What is to be done about it, or will
the future race be content to do with
out teeth? According to an experienced
dentist, education is playing sad havoc
with the teeth of modern generations.
The change in them has been appar-
entity rapid, more so than in other
physical deteriOratiOnS, and, dentls-
try having become a science, the cause
is sought with hopes to stay the et-
feet. Formerly, says this dentist,
decayed teeth were generally attribu-
ted to a fondness for sweets, but this
idea is a mistake. Sugar is nourish-
ing, and. taken with wholesome diet
and proper care of the teeth, it doesn't
harm them. The truth is that the an
cient sturdy square jaw of the Anglo
Saxon race is changing through over
much study and Over-education to a
V-Shape, which presses the molars
one Won the other, and does not give
them room to grow and will in time
prevent them cutting at all. The
horse lost his five toes through disease,
man is about to lose his wisdom teeth
through n like process. The wisdom
ers are already missing in many jaws.
! This, singular to relate, makes the ed
ucated law. English women are not
averse to this V-shaped angle of chin
They are distinguished for the length
and breadth of the teeth, and would
gladly see their worries diminish un,
der the new facial form. Girton and
Newman. Radcliffe and Vassar are
responsible for much of this educated
Jaw. The young men are not sorry
to have less teeth to be filled, and
as personal vanity plays little part in
their physical culture, they would al
soon be toothless as not. But suppose
more study, more higher education
aids this process of solution, and IL
the course of time the grandchildrel
of the students of today have jaws like
chipmunks, and never, no, never, GU
any teeth, what then? Will the den
lists occupation be gone; or will they
as a writer suggests, then manufac
ture complete artificial sets of teetl
for people from the day of their brit
lonward?
