Thurber Anglers Industrial League
Delegates at Atlanta


Delegates at Atlanta
Atlanta, Ca, July pa speech writ
ten by F. B. Thurber Of New York,
who was prevented BY death in his
family from attending the convention
of the Southern Industrial League here,
has created a sensation. Secretary Mar
tin of the league announced that he
would read the speech at the afternoon
session, but only portions of 1t were
given in his address. The speech was
printed by the evening papers, however,
and will be reproduced in the morning.
The delegates to the convention have
seen it, and its discussion has aroused
considerable warmth.
In the speech Mr.. Thurber took the
south severely to task for the alleged
Reputation of public obligations and
legislation hostile to railroad interests
He declared southern statesmen are
governed largely by local environment
and partly traditions, and complained
that they voted against steamship sub
sides.
An obstacle to southern progress, Mr.
Thurber said, is the impression that
life and property are not safe in the
south.

An unselfsh man never can be loved

A Libel on Gotham.

The nearest approach to a system
ever yet made by a New York deputy
assessor Of personal taxes was invent
ed by one who was somewhat of 4
card player.
He took pack of cards, gave value
to each card and then drew a card
from the pack for each name on his
list. A deuce meant $1,000 a tray So
600, four 1900 and so on up to the
knave, which was valued at $4,000,
the queen at $4,000. the king at $40,-
600 and the ace at $4,000 If anything
less than a five spot was drawn, he
erased the name from the list. as it is
customary to assess only those who
are supposed to possess 5000 or more
Of personal estate.
The especially amusing thing about
this mans work was that there were
fewer objections made to his assess
ments than to those of any other depu-
ty. He gained a reputation for hard
work. and his salary was raised twice

81 was riding one afternoon in the

noticed a tremendous disturbance just
ahead of my carriage. Two thorough
ly angry tourists were standing in the
street rubbing their heads and swear
ing with an ease and force which con-
vinced me at once that they were
Americans Two empty cabs, which
had evidently been occupied by the
tourists, were standing near by, and
the drivers were hurting indistinguish-
able jargon at each other, to the delec-
tation of a crowd of onlookers. My
driver immediately stopped to join in
the excitement With some difficulty
/ persuaded him to proceed, and when
we were out of sound of the uproar /
asked him what the trouble was.
why, monsieur he said, 'Jaspard
ran into Pierre's cab and scraped some
of the paint from the wheel. Pierre
was naturally very angry and swore at
Jaspard, whereupon Jaspard said, IF
you don't shut up, I'll hit your GUS
toner on the head with my whip
and Pierre retorted. IF you hit my
customer, III hit your customer" Then
Jaspard struck Pierres customer, and

bunghole in beer barrel, he had seem
ed to reach the ultimate extravaganza
of imagination. Yet. near the Porta
Salaria a still more unexpected ex-
travagance was revealed after the ex-
cavations carried on there. In these
q clppus, or sepulchral column. con-
tanning a cinerary urn Of rare oriental
alabaster was brought to light. The
inscription on the cir pus revealed that
the ashes contained within the urn
were those of Calpunius Piso Licini-
anus, who. in February, A. d. 60, was
proclaimed Caesar by the Emperor
Galbra. Four days afterward Galbra
was killed, and Piso also suffered
death in his thirty-frst year. His were
the ashes that the alabaster urn con-
tanned.
The precious urn was given to a
workman employed on the premises to
take care Of Some days after. when
the proprietor of the place asked for
the urn. he found it empty. Where, =
said he, "are the ashes that Were
here?' The workman. surprised. said
that he gathered them together and
