SENIOR SENATOR.SLIGHTED.

EssszzGzz5 --
BACON AND POSSUM DIDN'T MIX
AT THE NEWMAN SUPPER.
The Bibb County Statesman, 1t Is Said,
Was Overlooked When Invita-.
tiOns Were Sent Ont.

Inc absence of one prominent Geor-
glan at the late pOssum feast of the
pollticans IN Newman is explained by
the Atlanta Commercial in The follow
ing interesting story:
Senator Bacon won't be at the New
nan 'pOssum supper Friday night.
Georgla's politicians and statemen
from governor down to legislators will
be there, and possibly one of her sena-
tors WILDE on the scene of possum and
taters, but Senator Bacon is not need
ed where there is 'possum.
At least so thought the Committed
In sending around invitations in the
shuttle, as it were, Senator Bacon was
overlooked
If the committee hadn't taken such
pains to invite all the public men in
th5 state the senior Georgia senator
might not have felt so keenly the
oversight" But even the small 20
taUo politicians were noticed while a
United States senator was overlooked.
The invitations to the 'pOssum sup
per were sent out last week. They are
cute little things, printed on rough
brown paper with a profusion of pos
sum heads as border. The commit
tee had over six hundred of them
struck
1t was night before last that Sena-
tor Bacon passed through Atlanta on
his way to Washington.
Going to the 'possum supper, of
course" said gentleman who hap
pened to meet up with him.
Haven't got an invitatlon,' replied
the senator.
In considerably less than no time it
was nOised around that one of the most
prominent men in Georgia had been
left out of the great political 'possum
gathering. Those who heard it were
even more surprised when they heard
it was Senator Bacon who had been
sighted, Why was it? they asked.
But the answer cometh not even yet.
Some people, however, think they
| have found a solution of the enigma in
the fact that Governor Atkinson, who
| is known to be a great influence in the
'possum feast, is candidate for Ba-
cons seat in the seate, and he possibly
thought it good politics not to have
his opponent present at the great sup.
per where the politicians of the state
would be gathered.
| So it was not until after it was nOis-
ed about that Senator Bacon had been
Sighted that an invitation was finally
sent him, This was yesterday, a week
after the other invitations had been
sent out, OF course Senator Bacon, be-
ing in Washington, would not get the
invitation in time to attend now, even
if he was inclined to do so, after being
sighted.
The papers were certainly right in
saying that there would be a lot of
politics mixed up in the Newman pos
sum supper.

The Masonic ball of Housatonic Lodge on Friday evening last was 8 most successful affair. The Town Hall had been nicely decorated and the avail able seats were all filled with people when the concert by the Germania or ohestra opened. The orchestra gave an hours programme of tuneful music, and then the grand march was formed, and led by A. P. Freeman and Mrs Camp, and W. H. Camp with Mrs Freeman. The march was directed by the prompter. R. J. Steele, and was the prettiest ever executed here.
 There were sixty-five dancing coup les in attendance who danced to the music of the six piece orchestra until midnight. when supper was announced at the Warner House. A good supper was served to half of the party at time. After the second party had returned to the hall dancing was resumed and contin- ued until 80 a. m. Gold and white badges were given to the invited guests as souvenirs. all the Mssons wearing blue and gold badges.
 The lodge and the committees are to be congratulated upon the success of this Masonic ball, and it is hoped it may be repeated next year on the occas- lon of the thirtieth anniversary of the Lodge.

An English Sleeping Car.

The Great London and Northwestern Railroad company has lately introduced, with much satisfaction to the travelling public on that important route, new description of sleeping car. These cars were built at Wolverhampton from de- signs by A. c. Park. the well known ,xpert in this branch, each car being 70 feet long and having six wheel trucks, and the end platforms are described as being completely inclosed, so as to pre- vent the draftiness of side doors-in other words, presumably the usual American vestibules. There are corridors the whole length of the car on one side and II "cabins," or compartments, six containing double berths and five single. Only two of these cabins have upper berths, while in all of them except one the beds are placed so that the occupant lies crosswise of the car. The smoking compartment is in the middle of the car, and the lavatories are arranged at each end The interior woodwork finish is in great variety of style and material, sat inwood, maple, Italian walnut and oth- CT rarer sorts making up the combina- tion Each occupant can light or extin- guish his gas jet at any time by means of hinged globe New York Sun.

For the Preservation of Boilers.

The practice adopted by the French navy for the preservation of boilers not in use is different from that generally in vogue, and it is worth at least mak- ing note of. They seem to take the bull by the horns. Instead of emptying the boiler they fill it completely full of fresh water and then add to the water a certain amount of milk of lime or soda. The solution used is not so strong for boilers with small tubes. It is intended to be just sufficient to neutralize any acidity of the water. Particular atten- tion is given to the outsides of the tubes if they are not to be used for long time. They are painted with red lead or coal tar as far as they are accessible, and for the rest a protective coating is obtained by burning tar. the smoke of which will form coating of scot. Be- sides this the boiler casing is closed and kept airtight, after some quicklime has been placed inside.-American Machin- ist.

ork The Tramp.

If the tramp is to be eradicated he must be compelled to work winter and summer until he is willing to seek and continue to work on his own account, and failing in this. he should be kept at work for the public indefinitely. In order to compel him to work he must be given something to do, and the industry that is capable of reaaiest adaptation to the solving of the tramp problem is that of road making. The tramp should work the roads, not tramp them at bis own will .-Pawliug Chronicle.
