ATLANTA'S DEPOT MIDDLE.
SOME HOPE NOW OF AN EARLY SET
TLEMENT OF 1T.

RaIIrOnds VIII Not BE Called Into
Court, Hut VIII BE Given Untn
Oct. 20, when They Have Promised
to submit Plans for S5OO,O00
Union StatfOn-SeveraI Prominent
Railroad Men We're Before the
Commission Yesterday.
Atlanta, oct 9-New union depot $40 X
took a jump upward Today and it is now
predicted by some OF The depot prophets
that the end of the long standing feud
between the city, the railroad commits
sioners and the railroads over the Atlanta
depot is actually in sight.
Apparently The only thing that he-.ouds
the issue is the Georgia Legislature,
which the railroads say will have to lake
action before they can move peg.
To-day was the day set for heroic re-
solve on the part Of the railroad com
missoners. They met to hear an opinion
from Judge Spencer Atkinson as 10 what
could legally be done to The roads for
their dilatory tactics and seeming deter
m.nation not to build the depot or depots
as ordered by that body.
Instead Of going into the courts. how
ever, The Railroad Commission was met
by a committee from the railroads. led
by President Thomas of the Nashville
Cincinnati and st. Louis Railway, and this
committee succeeded in convincing the
commissioners that they really meant bus
mess and would build The depot just as
soon as possible.
President Thomas and his associates
held The railroad comm, ssioners in execu-
tive session several hours, and when the
conference was over, II was unoficia,ly
stated that the railroads had a $780,,
900 depot pan up their sleeves,
which would be sprung decisiVe,y on Oct.
20. The railroad commissioners agreed TO
wait until that time, and when il arrives
President Thomas promises that the roads
will submit their proposition to build
depot that will please everybody, in writ
ing.
1t VIII be necessary, however, for the
state TO make some concessions but 1t is
expected that there will not be a great
deal of trouble on this score with the Leg
islature, which will be applied to at its
approaching session. The state will be
asked to build the depot and accept an
increased rental from the lessees of the
state road, or TO modify the terms of the
present lease SO that an Independent COM
pany may take the depot property and i'm
prove ii 20 meet existing demands.

Mayor Woodward has called a meeting Of
the Council for tomorrow morning to PIE
pare for their reception.
A general committee Of citizens will be
appointed and fund will be raised for an
elaborate entertainment one suggestion
that seems to meet with popular favor
here. and it viii doubtless be applaude1
by visitors, is the erection Of seats over
the sidewalks along the route of the pa
rade after the manner adopted in New
York
The seats will incline 10 the second or
third stories and are to he 50 arranged as
20 comfortably seat the great tnrong that
will invade Atlanta TO see the great naval
hero. At the same time the seats are TO
be so arranged that the sidewalks can be
used by pedestrians underneath. If this
suggestion is adopted there will be a small
charge made for the seats 20 help deiray
the expenses of celebration.
An effort will be made 90 get Admiral
Schley to visit Atlanta at the same time.
lie has already written Mayor Woodward
that he would come some time during the
fan If his duties would permit. and on
every hand there is the wish that he may
come when Dewey does.
Acting Adjutant General Byrd is en-
deavoring to get the fair management TO
change Military day to oct. 81 so that
the Georgia soldiers may receive the great
naval comrnan der The Military Commit
lee Of the fair win meet tomorrow 10
take the matter up, and they will urge
the change.
II was the intention Of the fair manage
ment TO name Nov. 2 as South Carolina
day, and il has also been suggested to
change this date to oct. 81.
Another suggestion has been TO desig-
nate Alabama Tennessee and Florida days
on the same date and invite the Govern
ors. with their STATS, and the military Of
those states TO join in the honor to
Dewey
If these suggestions are adopted the
Dewey occasion will far transcend the
scope of the committee when it left for
Washington. and it will prove by far the
biggest demonstration ever pulled off IN
The South
Adit Gen. Byrd Is especially anxious
that Military day should be changed, as
he greatly fears that Dewey day will
break into his arrangement to make a
ereditable showing before the Legislature.
Besides, he says the military Is needed at

A BooTBLACK TRUST
PROTECTIVE LEAGUE STARTED
IN NEW YORK.
Must BE Over sixtsen-RsgulAr Scale Of
Prices to BE Fixed and Free Shines
of shoe Stores to BE oppossd-Ths
President Talks.

! That presumably down-trodden yet
cheerful toiler, the bootblack, has de-
termined to assert himself and strug-
gle for his rights. Individually, he
says, he has many grievances which
he hopes to have rectifed collectively.
In the near future the bootblacks Of
Greater New York hope to become a
power for their own good.
The "Bootblacks' Protective league"
has already been organized in that city
and, according to the statement Of g.
p. Caggiano. its president, :, already
in flourishing condition. The mem
bership, he said, Is now 500. 1t Is
hoped to make II ten times that num-
Der in a short time, and to put on a
firm basis a proposed scale OF prices
for various kinds of shines"
II the organization can accomplish
its purpose the days OF the small boy
bootblack, who polishes shoes for from
to cents, is numbered. The union
men are going to try and drive him
out Of business. They want no one
who is not 16 years old In the trade.
Circulars containing a set Of resolu-
lions adopted by the league have been
printed In English and Italian. They
will be sent to every bootblack in the
city with an invitation to join the
league.
President Caggiano and six members
OF the law committee met last night at
40 Mott street. They resolved TO
draw up a bill which they will sub
NIT to the league for approval. 1t
will then be sent to the legislature.
Just what its scope will be has not
been determined. 1t will contain many
provisions that the bootblaeks hope
to have made law.
81 think 1t Is time that the boot
black trade should be recognized" said
Caggiano. at is our purpose to or
ganize a branch Of our league in every
assembly district of Greater New York.
We want to have uniform prices estab-
lished throughout the city and the
practice OF free shines and 'polishes'
in shoe stores stopped. In most all
OF the large shoe stores q free boot
black stand is placed. That helps
take the bread and butter out OF our
mouths. We want these free stands
prohibited and also we want all stands
licensed whether on the streets or IN
side OF barber shops, ferries. stations,
clubs, shops and steamboats,. The
present license Of IS for a street boot
black stand Is too high and We want
It reduced. 1t is not the intention Of
the league to hurt the wandering boot
black of the street. He must, however,
be an artist and charge at least 5
cents for a shine and 10 cents for
polish. Boys under 16 years old are
to be debarred- from membership in
the league. We mean to make our
selves felt politically, II necessary,
said one member of the law committee
at a recent meeting.

FROM THE FROG.
One May Get Some Valuable Lessons In
Swimming.

One May Get Some Valuable Lessons In
Swimming.
Washington Star: "A swimmer, no
matter whether he is beginner or an
expert, cannot improve upon the ad-
vice Of his great-grandfather, which is
to 20 to a brook or swamp and study
the manner and methods Of the frog, {"
remarked an ex-champion OF the New
York Athletic club to a writer for the
Star recently. THE most expert swim
mers In the world are tyros compared
to the LATEST bullfrogs. The difficulty
with all swimmers is that they spoil
the effect OF the stroke by the recovery.
When a frog starts on he draws his legs
carefully and slowly up under him un-
til he Is in the position Of a man sit
ting on his launches. Then he sud-
denly gives a mighty spring in the
water, kicking lis legs out, behind
him, but almost directly crosswise
After the kicks his legs are slowly
drawn together by his motion through
the water until they hang out behind
him In a perfectly rigid form. Every
toe Of his web feet is held out as
straight as an srrow and then nothing
retards his motion through the water.
Then again he slowly and carefully
draws his legs in and repeats the per-
Torrance. You will notice that In
drawing the legs up to his body for a
second kick the frog recedes a little.
This is owing to the action Of the up
per leg on the water, and 1t CORE
spends exactly with the similar move
ment on the part Of man. The first
thing frog does Is to give his body
q good start through the water, and he
holds himself In such a way that he
gets the whole value OF the stroke. A
man starts out with just such a kick.
but after he has gone two or three feet
he viii begin to swing his hands for
ward or draw up his legs In such
fashion that they offset the whole
value Of his work. He stops his own
body half way before the effect Of the
stroke has spent itself"
