MRS. FELTON, RoAsTs METHoDIsrs.
Charges Shady Methods in Getting
Money From Congress


Money From Congress.
Atlanta, Ga, May 26.-Mrs. DR.. W. H.
FELTON, of Cartersville is out in a long,
warm card to-day, dealing with the recent
general conference of the Methodist Epis-
copal Church South, at Baltimore
She roasts the book committee of the
conference, of which Messrs. Barbee and
Smith of Nashville, are agents, for their
alleged duplicity in dealing with the $685.
600 recently paid the conference by Con-
gress as compensation for church prop
erty used during the war.
Mrs. FELTON, declares that Mai. f. B.
Stahlman, who is well known in Georgia
received 80 per cent. of this sum for his
services in securing the action of Congress
and that he spent $4,000 in toasting mem
bers of Congress in furtherance of his eff
forts
But the 100000 or more received as COM
missions by Maj. stahlman, as per his
contract with Messrs. Barbee and Smith,
is not the thing that mostly aggravates
Mrs. FELTON,. She says that in view of the
contract she supposes Mai Stahlman was
entitled to the big slice he got
Mrs FELTON, declares that Mrs Barbee
and Smith, the book agents of the confer
ence, have deliberately falslfied in order
TO secure the appropriation from Congress,
and that the conference has indorsed their
falsehood She says that when the ap-
preparation was up in the Senate, a ques-
ton was asked whether or not a large
commission was 10 be paid by the con-
ference 10 some one, and Senator Bate of
Tennessee at once telegraphed to Messrs.
Barbee and Smith, who had charge of the
matter, for information. In reply, Mrs
FELTON, says, he got a telegram from the
book agents explicitly denying that there
was any commission TO be paid out of the
money which Congress was being asked
10 pay the conference for the property used
by the government and authorizing SEN
ator Bate TO make this denial in the Sea-
ate
In view of the contract with Mai Stahl-
man and the payment 10 him of his big
fee, Mrs. FELTON, thinks the conference got
pretty low down for the sake of the dol
lars involved.
For one, she says she thinks it IS her
duty to free her mind on the subject by
public utterance, and to shake her skirts
clear of the whole shameful transaction

cEoRGIA's SECOND QUOTA.
Col. GOrdOn's Cavalry Regiment to
BE Accepted as whole If Needed.

BE Accepted ms whole IL Needed.
Atlanta, Ga, May 26.-There have been
no warli1e developments at the capitol
to-day. Gov. Atkinson has had no COM
munication from Washington, and until
he is formally notified Of the quota of
troops required of Georgia, and the char
acter of the service they are to be used
for he will take no steps toward the
formation of the new volunteer regiment.
1t is supposed that this state will be call
ed on for something like a regiment and a
battalion. or in the neighborhood of fif-
teen hundred rlen.
Unless the call should be for cavalry, it
is quite likely that the Governor will go
outside the regular militia organization
for officers for some of the commands at
least.
To-day Capt Maddox of Atlanta, who
organized a company known as the Atkn-
son Guards, called at the capitol and ten
dered his command under the new call.
Capt. Maddox and his men were rejected
at the first call because Of the preference
given to the militia commands.
If Gorgia is called upon for a regiment
of cavalry, 1t is more than proba BILE that
Col. Gordon and his regiment will be ac-
cepted just as the organization stands if
1t offers and will be recruited up to the
requisite strength.
Capt. Mills mastering officer at Camp
Northen, reported TO Gov. Atkinson to-
day that he had completed his work there
and is ready TO leave for other fields I'M
less the department orders him to remain
on this duty until the second quota of vol
unteers is mustered in Since being as
signed 10 duty with the Georgia volunteers
Capt. Mills has been promoted TO major.

TO equal treatment with the whites ana are
not at all backward in asserting them
selves. There are some very nice fellows
among the white regulars, though as the
Georgia boys nave discovered They have
also discovered to their surprise that the
regular troops are better fed, better cloth
ed ana better cared for in every way than
the volunteers They have better eucamp
nents, The pick in fact. an easier time IN
every way. The explanation is easy. The
regular officers know what they want. how
10 get IL and what 10 do with it after they
get IT, Tho volunteer officers are green for
the most part and thor men suffer in con-
sequence. The plain truth is that the vol
untecrs are leading a tough life at pres
emf. Inc grub. since arriving here, is eX-
tremely Tough; fat meat, hard tack and
beans. with canned tomatoes and occa-
sionaily rice and hOminy, three times a
day. The regularity and monotony of this
grub is something appalling. The Guards
have the consolation, however, of having
an extremely decent set of officers. Lieut..
Col. Garrard IS devoted 10 the welfare of
his men. sick man is well cared for,
and IL there Is room for him in the
hospital he is taken to Col. Garrard's tent
and cared for there. The commissions
officers are well up in their duties, and
there is q belief among the Guards that
the battalion shows up better than any
volunteers which have yet appeared upon
the field. There are only few kclSers, and
they are being given to understand that
kicking is not in favor The men seem 10
have little fear on the subject of Cuba.
and, in fact. are ready to go wherever
they are ordered.

GETTING a TouCH OF WAR LIFE
Second Regiment Troops Expert
ences at Tampa.


Tampa, Fla, May 25.-The Second
Regiment is now well encamped at
Palmetto Beach, about three miles
from Tampa. The ground is ex-
tremely rough, being covered with pal
metto roots. On account of the roughness
no attempt at drilling has been made. The
fellows who were grumblng at Griffin are
now wondering what has happened 10
them. There they had good quarters with
mess hall, bath houses and a fairly good
drill ground.
The regiment arrived here at nightfall.
ind Immediately set TO work to pitch tents
In the palmetto scrub, after d half mile
march through very deep sand. The next
day orders were given 40 move the tents
higher uD. This meant more grubbinS Of
palmetto roots out Of the way of tents and
company streets.
The Ohio and Michigan regiments are
camped near the Second and North Car
DINA regiment is to be eucamped right
next 10 them. There is a dago barroom and
restaurant about a quarter of "a mile from
camp, which is freely pauonzed by the
nelghboring regiments. The Michigan boys
appear 20 be pretty decent fellows, but
some of the Ohio men were roundly cursed
out by men from the Second the other day
for drinking with negro. The Georgia
boys have not a high opinion either of the
Cubans whom they ind here. The camp Is
near Ybor City, and there are several eli
gar factories close by. The restaurant and
bar near by was evidently run originally
Tor the benefit of the operatives but IS
now reaping fortune from the soldiers
The Georgia boys were somewhat sur.
prised to find that there are Cuban negroes
as well as Cuban whites and that they as
soclate freely together. Considerable bad
feeling has also been caused by the free
association Of the white regulars with the
negro regulars, which the Southern bows
are Inclined to resent and serious trouble
mas been narrowly averted on several oc-
casions. The negroes assert all their rights

EMPRESS AND PIANIST.
Josef Hofmnnn wouldn't Await Roy
alty's Leisure When the
Skating Was Fine.

Josef Holman, the famous young
pianist, is fond of all sorts of sports,
especially of skating, in which, as a
boy, he excelled. "When visiting St.
Petersburg year or two ago." writes
Mary j. Mullett, in Ladies Home Jour-
nal, "Josef was summoned to play be-
fore the ex-empress, the hour named
being from three to four in the after
noon. 1t was perfect day. The Neva
was frozen over, of course, and the
skating was at its height. Immediate
" after luncheon Josef's father found
his son dressing as if to go to the pal
ace.
Where are you going% he de-
manded.
"'To play for the empress
"'But you were not to go until three
O'clock
"SThree o'clock If / wait until
then it will be too late to go skating.
I'm going now!'
"He went. And it is not a surprise
to anyone who knows HOFFMAN, to
learn that he played for the ex-em-
press as soon as he reached the palace,
and that he then went off and skated
the rest of the afternoon"

safety on East Train.

lhlrty years ago, when the average
speed OF passenger trains was very
much less than at the present day
accidents were of such frequent oc-
currence that people declared that. TO
insure greater safety, it had become
necessary to hang a director" In
1885,, out Of upward of 1000 .ooO. COO
passengers carried on the lines of the
United Kingdom, only five were killed
one in 200, 900. 000-whereas the num-
Der OF persons run over and killed in
the streets Of London in a single year
was 20, or about one in 1000, 900 of the
population of the metropolis. Suppos-
ing that each individual Of the $780,
100 OF Londoners walked abroad each
day in the year, that would give a
total Of 2,207. 800, 900 walkers against
,ooo,ooo,ooo travellers by railway, and
produces the remarkable inference
that, for every mortal risk incurred
by railway passenger, the walker in
the streets has to encounter 10 chances
OF violent death.

FREAKS OF THE MAUSER.
The Queer Courses Followed by the
n=.ssts after They struck
Our Soldiers.

''Those Mauser bullets did some
mighty queer things" said a wounded
soldier the other day, according to
the New York Commercial Advertiser.
"As long as they were flying through
the air they went straight enough,
but when one struck mans body
there was no telling what it would do.
Sometimes 1t would be straight
through him, bones and all, and go
tipping on to plug some poor fellow
half mile away, perhaps. And then
again 1t might chase around inside him
like a hen with her head cut off.
II saw man who was hit in the
right eye by n Mauser. The ball, in
stead OF lodging in his brain, went
through his temple and down the side
of his face in front of his ear, just UNI
der the skin. 1t kept on, leaving red
track all the way, went down the side
of the neck, over his shoulder and
down his back. Near his waist it
came out. Another man was shot In
the left breast. The ball went through
his chest, turned down, went through
bis liver, plowed it's way through the
muscles of his right thigh, and came
out near his right knee. It's mighty
queer the way those balls go some
times. | suppose they hit bones and
glance, but that won't account for it
always. Another queer thing is that
most all the men were hit between the
belt and the knee. The Spanish fired
low"

q Is well known that the French

tbe French nation in far more acute
form than that with which we are
familiar, and in particular he has q
good deal TO say about the enthusi-

Perhaps the most affecting story in
the book is that which relates the
