How to Treat Nasaers.

Washers FOOLED-Ladies, protect yourselves

The above ''penny-a-liner" appeared
in a Pittsburg paper the other day. 1t
attracted the attention of at least one
young woman who clipped it out and
sat down and wrote to the advertiser
instanter She had been sorely troubl-
ed by Washers in front of the promi

rid herself of the annoyance if there
was any sure cure to be had. The
young lady is a stunning blonde, and is

Establishment not a stones throw from
Fifth Avenue and Smithfield Street.
She is obliged to make her way from
the office in which she is employed to

from her home are literally hOneycom-
ed with professional "lady-killers-
Through this maze of anglo maniacism
she must thread her way in the shad-
ows of twilight.
1t is the practice of these Washers to
carry on their conversations across the
sidewalks in language that rasps upon
the sensitive feelings of feminine Pc
deStrians and disgusts the male con-
tingent. Frequently fippant remarks
are passed; remarks couched in COW
ert language, but intended for the years
of any pretty girl who happens to be
passing. Sometimes they presume. af-
ter they have seen the same girl pass
on several evenings in succession, to
force their attentions in a more for
midabIe fashion. One day not long ago
the stenographer encountered a young
fellow, who tried to speak to her. She
snubbed him, but nothing daunted he
began to follow her down to the bridge.
Feverish with indignation, she hailed
a Manchester car and got aboard.

Atlanta. Ga. March Ex-Governor At
kinson. based upon the report of the de-
tectives' investigation into the lynching
of DIR. W. L. Ryder last July, is taking
active steps today to have the matter
properly brought before the prosecuting
authorities in Talbot County. The report
was filed with the governor last night by
DIR. c. A. Ryder. brother of the victim.
In the report he charges the following
prominent citizens of Talbot County as
having been implicated in the lynching:
DR. William Bryan, William Parker. Al
bert owen. william Leonard, Timothy
Leonard. John p. Parker. Riley Parker,
TIL Harris. and Finley Greene.
Or. Rvder's charges are made in the
most EneqUvocal language and are Of
such a positive character as TO demand
Investigation. Governor Atkinson has
forwarded the report. which was publish
ed in full in the afternoon papers, to So
licitor General Gilbert to be presented to
the grand jury, which is now in session
at Talbotton.
He also wired Dr. c. A. Ryder, at
Gainesville telling him TO proceed in per-
son 10 Talbotton and lay before the So
licitor general all the additional informa-
ton in his possession which bears on the
case. Dr. Ryder replied that he would
go at once. though his life had been on
several occasions threatened by anony-
nous letters from that county.
DR. Ryder said this afternoon: Our
family will do all possible to aid the gov
ernor in this matter and we will obey his
wishes"
DR. W. L. Ryder. who was lynched. shot
and killed Miss Sallie Emma Owen on
Easter Sunday, 1896, because she rejected

After that tragedy the residents in that
section of this State where Miss owen
lived became very bitter against DR.. Ry

Inspector Mattingly was informed
this morning of their arrest and will
detail a detective to investigate, the

COUGHED UP A SHOT.
Henry Anderson Gets Rid Of n
Bullet.

New York. March 25.-While polishing
his shoes yesterday Henry Anderson. a
Perth Amboy merchant, coughed up
bullet that had lodged in his head more
than forty-five years ago. He was be-
ing treated for some ailment OF the eyes,
and It was the bullet, unknown to the
doctors. that had caused the trouble.
Mr.. Anderson was born in Denmark fif-
tv-one years ago. When he was six
wears old he was accidentally shot by a
companion. He was taken to his home
and remained unconscious for several
weeks The only thing to indicate the
track of the bullet was a slight cut in
the forehead. and no effort was made TO
remove the bullet.
He recovered. and thirty years ago he
er.iyrated to the United States, locating
at Perth Amboy. The bullet in his
head did not bother him, and he even
forgot it was there He married, and
reared large family.
Anderson was milking a restless cow
three years ago. and the animal kicked
him in the forehead. After that he suf-
fered from dizziness and pains between
the eyes. Soon his sight began to fail.
He consulted several doctors, without
obtaining any relief.
He was polishing his shoes in his store
yesterday when he felt a hari substance
drop from the nasal cavity to his tongue.
il was a bullet. such as is used to saoot
geese with Ia Denmark. 1t had heeli
embedded in the skull for more than
forty years, and was then released by the
cows kick. The bullet had worked IT'S
way under the sAiH until il dropped in
the nasal cavity.
Anderson says the pains in his head
have ceased entirely, and his sight is
improving.

Defenses of Our Coasts.

(FTUm the Cincinnati Enquirer
There is a great deal of humbug in
current talk about coast defenses. The
notion has been cultivated that be-
cause our thousands of miles of sea-
coast do not present an uninterrupted
line of armor plate and heavy guns,
this country is an easy mark for any
foreign power that may choose to bonn
bard us
Nothing is to be gained, though, by
shooting at the open country along the
coast. If Spain or any other naval
power wants to pillow the diyt up with
cannon balls, let her do it. Bombard-
ment will be child's play unless it is
directed at the great cities
How are they situated? E.
We are indebted to the World for
some highly suggestive matter as to
the defense of the principal seaport,
the city of New York. which, taken in
connection with other reflections, lead
to an impregnable conclusion. The
longest theoretical range of the great
guns is twelve miles, and they could not
obtain the elevation to be effective at
that distance, and would wear them
selves out in two or three discharges.
Six miles is the longest practical range,
and probably there is only sporadic
danger at that distance. Sixty miles
an hour is the speed of a railway train
on occasions, but that speed is seldom
attained. 1t is so with guns. They will
not be kept continuously at high theo-
retical pitch when in action.
Sandy Hook is so strongly fortified
that a hostile warship couldn't get near
enough to throw shot further than the
lower bay; and even If the enemy could
r. II linn
sail past she would be inevitably stuck
in the channel, or wrecked, and still be
twenty miles from New York proper.
Every boat intending to go through
would have to take a pilot in the open
sea- If all these formidable defenseS
could be passed, there are guns on
each side of the Narrows to make con-
ditions unfavorable to unwelcome Wis
itors. 1t is the opinion of naval ex-
perts that the Terror and Puritan (per
example) would be all the movable
fighting apparatus necessary to the de-
Tense of the Metropolis. There would
be remote possibility of damage to the
lighthouses. the observation tower, and
the elephant" on Coney Island, but
they could be spared.
Boston is well provided for. Phila-
delphia is far up a river. To reach Bal
timore a hostile fleet would have to
round in from the ocean in the face of
much trouble the United States would
be able to make, and then sail many
miles up the Chesapeake Bay. Wash
ington is approachable only in the same
way. A land movement against the
capital, like that in the war Of 1872,
would not be practicable.
On the Pacific Coast San Francisco
is the great defensive point, and thai is
well fixed. An attacking fleet to be
effective, would have to make its way
through the Golden Gate. To shoot
across country it would be at imprac-
ticable range.
Our cruisers and monitors could make
themselves useful at less important
points.
1t is a fact that We have tremendous
length of seacoast, but there is sat-
isfaction in knowing that an enemy
attacking the whole line would have to
spread itself out diaphanously.

Her Husbands Rad Break.

A company of married folk. while talk
ing together the other day. got upon the
subject of housekeeping. The men. with
but one exception, were eloquent against
it, Singly in duo and in chorus. they told
what dreadful dispensation it was. how
narrowing to flesh and spirit. and. above
all. how unacceptable. Each had his own
private tale of woe 10 relate. his own
personal grievance that had befallen him
at hOUsecleaning time. and which he was
sure was much worse than that Detailing
anyone else
For some time the exception listened to
it all without a word. Plainly interested
in what ne was hearing. he nevertheless
made no personal contribution 20 the eX-
perience emeting. But at last he spoke:

never heard anything like this in all my
life. Why. 7 never knew there was such
thing in the world. 1t must be perfect
ly dreadful to have to put up with il.

that we never have done any hOuseclean-
ing?'
Just one member Of the company failed
TO join i'm the laugh which fOllOwed-the
wife Of the exception Subsequently she
declared her husbands speech 10 be the
most awful thing in the world To think
that after all those years, in the course
of which she had housecleaned every
Spring and Fall. he should publicly give
the impression that she had omitted il al
together. But there were those, women
as we'll as men. who thought IL the high
est tribute that could have been paid her.
Not many housewives could have house
cleaned "all those years or even one
year. and kept their husbands in blissful
ignorance of the fact that there was such
a thing in the world.
