WANT WIRES UNDER GROUND.
Park and Tree Commission Desires
to Beautify the Park.


to Beautify the Park.
The Park and Tree Commission is talk
ing of putting underground the electric
wires in Forsyth Park. The plans for this
arrangement have been presented, but
nothing definite with regard to the matter
has yet been done by the commission.
Two handsome iron and bronze posts
have been erected at the Bull street en-
trance to the park, and two electric lights
viii be placed on these. At present there
are only three arc lights in the park, and
it Is somewhat of a puzzle to the commits
sioners how to arrange the lights so as to
supply the whole park, and al the same
time not to increase the expenses any more
than is necessary.
According to the present plans of the
commission at least two extra lights will
be required. The idea of the commissioners
is to get Council to erect ornamental posts
similar to those at the Bun street en-
trance, at the intersections of the walks in
the parks. This would require four posts
and four lights, whereas there are at pres
ent only three In the park.
But this arrangement would leave the
center of the park around the fountain,
without any light at all except what was
supplied from the lights at the intersec-
lions of the walks. An effort has been
made TO see If some arrangement could moi
be made to put light on the fountain it
self but the experiments have not proven
successful so far.
The Commissioners think If they could
get these four ornamental posts, all the
wires could be put underground, and all
the light needed would be given, that is
with the lights at the various street inter
sections around the park. The idea in put
ting the wires underground is to prevent
ba 1n1H caid 10 ba.r
on the trees, and also to add TO the beauty
and slightly appearance of the park. Some
strong efforts in this direction win doubt
less he made in the near future. The COM
mission has practically no funds for any
work beyond the actual care of the parks
and squares, and there is a desire that
the city aid in putting the wires under
ground.

MANY HOURS WITHOUT FOOD.
Rough Experience of the First Geor-
giR in Moving to Knoxville.

Rough Experience of the First GeOr-
eia in Moving to Knoxville.
When the First Georgia Regiment ar
rived at Knoxville Col. A. r. Lawton sent
fifteen of the sick soldiers to a hotel for
the night. According to the Knoxville
Sentinel Col Lawton's command tramp
ed into camp about dark and deposited"
themselves on top of grass-covered field.
The boys were well worn out and hun
CRY.
They had not eaten a bit of government
rations in over twenty-four hours. The
boys dearly love travelling rations, hard
tack, etc. When they left Camp Thomas
Gen. Mckee thought on account of the
short distance they We're to travel that
1t would be unnecessary to provide them
with travelling rations, and arranged TO
give them money instead. This was to be
expended by each man to suit the die
tates OF his own palate" Somehow there
was a general misunderstanding, and the
boys received neither money nor rations.
Some of them had a few cents and pur-
chased food along the route, while many
officers Of companies spent their money
TO purchase food for the men. They could
not kecp't up long. however, and n num-
Der of the men had many hours without
anything 10 eat when they reached
Knoxville they were about persisted.
Fortunately the good officers OF The
Thirty-hrst Michigan had prepared coffee
for them and a little something 10 eat
such as they could spare out OF their own
rations. Tho men then blvouaced for the
night under shelter tents"

TO CONTINUE THE FIGHT.
C. II. Dixon Co. Case Against the
Central VIII Go on in Court.

u III. Dixon Co. Case Against the
Central VIII Go on in Court.
The Georgia Railroad Commission, hav-
ing decided against him in the case of
the c. H. Dixon Company vs. the Central
Railroad Company, ]. R. saussy, Jr..
Esq, will continue the fight in the SUI
perior Court, where the questions at issue
were originally brought. When the case
comes before Judge Falligant il is posi-
bic that an attack may be made on the
legality of the CentraPs use of River
street, as well as of the validity of the
transfer to it of the water works spur
track
Mr.. Saussy, il would appear, is one of
those attorneys who do not succumb be-
cause of one set back. The reverse his
case sustained at Atlanta he does not
think affected the case in the court here,
and he will prepare for an interesting
fight at that time, when the matters re-
ferred to may incidentally be brought to
the courts attention.
Under the law of Georgia, Ii is stated,
a city cannot give the use of a street
to a steam railroad company, as was done
in the case of River street, without get
ting special action by the legislature dis
tnctly authorizing such a course 1t is
claimed that in granting the right to lay
tracks on River street the city did not
obtain this legislative sanction. Under
Mr.. Saussys view of it, this negatives the
whole proceeding and renders it necessary
Tor some steps 10 be taken 20 legitimatize
this councimanic act if the Central Is to
be allowed TO continue it's monopoly of the
street. The idea seems to be that il the
opportunity is offered for reconsideration
of the previous aclion the City Council
would, or should, ask for a yearly rental
from the Central for the use of the street
as a transfer way for freight.
AS regards the transfer to the Central
of the spur track to the water works,
the point has been raised that this was
never authorized by Council Mr.. Saussy
is now investigating this phase of the sit
uation. If there is any substantial basis
for these two claims interesting develop
ments might ensue.

0Ae Hongs ana longs in Boston

Nothing, perhaps, would surprise the av-
erage visitor to Boston more than to be told
that only a block away from its busiest
thoroughfare Chinese women of high de-
gree, as their tiny feet testify, live with
their children in true Oriental secuson.
These are the wives of the rich merchants
and importers, whose stores are located in
the Chinese district of the city. In the
summer time screens of wisteria, fragrant
narcssus blossoms and many other floral
wonders for which Chinese horiculturists
are noted, serve to remind the exiles OF
their native land. Here they I've happily,
surrounded by everything which money
and the fondness of their husbands es,. sup.
ply. No woman's club sessions divide their
attention with household cares, and NO out
side interests ruffle the serenity OF their do.
mestlc peace. Comparatively few people
outside the Chinese colony are svare of
their existence, for Celestial etiq.ctte. in.
eXorable as the laws of the Medes and Per
sans, does not permit the reception of gen
tleman visitors in the home, and the bound
feet of these patrician women does not
permit them to walk abroad. Naturally
enough it is the business woman who first
caught a glimpse of these Oriental exotics
in Boston, for while the fashionable woman
drives or sends to the Oriental stores for
