structed, being more than 800 feet long.
The center of the building was surround
ed by a huge dome, which. during exposi-
tons, was reached by an electric elevator.
This central part of the building and all
that end toward the Wrightsboro road was
blown down.
A negro woman who lived across the
street was struck by a flying timber and
had her skull fractured. This was the
only casulty. She was taken to the hospt>
tai.
The severe blow lasted but little while.
and was not felt with equal force in all
parts of the city

stroyed, was built in 1888, and has seen

NESBITT OUT IN A HOT CARD.

BLALOCK AND SWIFT.

the Attack of Messrs. Blalock ana

tiou-CIafms Investigation Was a
CompIete VindicatiOn.
Atlanta. Ga. May 6.-Hon. R. T. Nesbitt
commissioner Of agriculture, publishes a
red-hot card this afternoon, dealing win
the part being taken by ex-Representatives
Rlalock and Swift in the campaign against
him.
He refers to Senator Stevens, his OPP
ponent. as the willing tool of these men
and in his card devotes himself 70 show
ing up what he terms the partisan vim
dictiveness" of Messrs. Swift and Bla-
lock.
Commissioner Nesbitt says that before
the investigation of his department had
commenced Mr.. Swift began to make
damaging charges against him, and had
asked a newspaper reporter here to give
the commissioner h" He also incorpo-
rates a letter, written by No. Swift TO a
friend in Elberton, in which he said e
was lust laying for Nesbitt." This was
written at the commencement of the in
yestigation. which, Col Nesbitt declares
fell so fiat before the legislature that not
a line of the report made was acted upon.
He also says that Mr.. Swift declared
at the capitol that "he had it in for
Nesbit up to the neck" before anything
wrong was found in the workings Of the
department, adding that he wanted new
commissioner, anyhow.
Commissioner Nesbit shows the bad faith
of his prosecutors, as he calls Messrs.
Blalock and Swift, by the fact that he has
been running his department for $500
year less in salaries than his predeces>
sor, Notwithstanding the increased work
done, and that he has paid into the stale
treasury during his term nearly 100000

into the pockets Of the inspectors.
He refers in detail to the charges made
in the Blalock committee report to the
legislature, and declares that neither Mr..

newspapers regarding alleged discrepan-

out by the appearance of a circular be-
ing sent throughout the state by Repre-
sentative Bialock in the interest of Mr..
Stevens by reviewing the sensational
charges of the Blalock committee.

Music Is GIadstone's soIace.
From Harper's Weekly.

There is, unhappily, no further doubt as
to the mortal nature of Mr.. Gladstones
illness. He is suffering from necrosis of
the nasal bone. Pain. which has been al
most incessant, refuses to yield to tie
remedies administered. That the evening
of Mr. Gladstone's life should be thus
clouded with physical pain touches the
hearts of his most nveterate political op-
ponents-indeed, of the whole world of
English-speaking men-with a personal
sense of sorrow. Needless TO say Mr..
Gladstone is bearing his burden with Dig
nifty aud con@osure. Unable to read, no
finds his principal solace in music. One of
his family plays to him for an hour or two
every day During his recent visit to
Bohrnemouth in search of the relief that
did not come, his chief delight was in lis
tening first to Lady Halle and then 10
Nile. Janotha, who came on different even-
ings and played to him at the villa. II is
said that the ministrations of these kindly
ladies soothed his pain as no medicament
could have done. During the rumors of
war and the rumbling of earthquake in
every part of the world, it is touching 20
note the sympathy with which the English
people are unanimously inspired at the
spectacle of Mr.. Gladstone sinking into
the grave while afflicted with acute physi-
cal pain. He is fully aware of his condi-
tion as he insisted on the doctors telling
him the truth, and the whole truth. DR.
Habersham, who has replaced the late Sir
Andrew Clarke as his physician In chief.
once informed me that Mr.. Gladstone is
the best patient he has ever had, but that
the right honorable gentleman always in
sists on knowing the reason of everything
that is done. When his intelligence is con-
WINGED, his docility in complying with doc
tors orders is exemplary

] hat l Glred

An exceedingly common and dan G
gerously significant, condition. {
A warning which must be needed,
or, as with the express train
which fails to regard the dan
ger signal, disaster must follow.
A sure indication of thin, weak, inn
poverished blood. A certain adj
monition that the blood is not
properly feeding the nerves, It's
sues and organs of the body.
An imperative demand for the tonic,
vitalizing effect of Hoods Sarsa-
parilla upon the blood.
Weak, nervous, tired men and wom-
en- are found everywhere. Men
strive too hard to "keep their
ends up" women too anxiously
work "on their nerves" to meet
the demands of home and society,
all have too little sleep, and the
excessive drain on strength and
nervous energy will soon COM
pletely ruin health.
The strength must be built up by pure
blood, and the nerves must also
find pure blood the proper nerve
food. For this purpose nothing
equals Hoods Sarsaparilla.
The thousands of wonderful cures it
has accomplished, the like of
which no other medicine and no
combination of medicines can
show, prove its curative merit;
prove that it has never been
%equalled as a blood medic cine;
prove that Hoods Sarsaparilla is
indeed the ideal spring medicine,
the best nerve and stomach tonic,
the one true blood purifier.
