state, recognizing his worth, are urging him to become a candidate for state audi tor two years hence, but the judge refuses to commit himself upon the question. He says it is too far off yet and that there will be plenty of time and probably plen- ty of candidates. The hardest worked man on the committee was Major Brandon. He did everything; he was clerk stenographer and typewriter, and worked like a Trojan.
 While he did not have the ripe experi- ence to aid him that Judge Mitchell had, yet he made many valuable suggestions that were promptly adopted. Brandon is a bright young man, and has a promising future before him. He has a host of fHends who are proud of the stand he has taken in the general assembly. The special com mittee expects him to do the work on the floor to get the revenue bill we have pre- pared through the house, and predict that he will do it." KERSH.

 BY THE HALT AND BLIND

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 One of the most marvellous wonders per- formed by Francis Schatter was done this evening. My little girl was so afflicted that she was perfectly poweress in hands and feet, and tonight she is well and can walk.
 CECELIA RICHWEIN. A citizen of Woodlawn stated last night that ex-Governor Cobb had improved won derfully after his treatment and that it was the cause of much talk in that vicinity.
 No Rest for the Weary
 Schlatter was seen after his afternoon performance and was apparently nearly ex- hausted. Even while he was trying to rest people kept pounding the door of his room, wanting his services in different parts of tho city.
 He states that he is utterly unable to an- swer their calls, as there are so many in the streets who need to be cured, and be- sides it is a severe strain on both body and mind
 As the antl-fakir ordinance goes into ef- feet after today, there is considerable spec ulation as to what action will be taken by the authorities towards stopping the Mes siah's movements. However, it is rumored that if the city causes discontinuance Of the street show, a hall will be procured and all will be serene.
 Mayor Evans said yesterday that he did not think permission could be gained fro1n the city council for the continuance of the street seanees.

Yesterday was the day set for the execu- ton of Frank Cook, who was convicted in the circuit court of the murder of Conduc- tor John Blackburn at Cain Station some months ago, but on account of an appeal to the supreme court, the sentence was sus- pended Cook declares he is innocent of the crime of which he was convicted, and he, as well as his attorneys, believe that the supreme court will give him a new trial. In event that the supreme court refuses to interfere, Cook says that he is ready to go.

Berlin, January 20.-Emperor William to- day had long conference with Baron Von Bueow, the imperial foreign secretary and afterward with Sir Frank Lascelles, the British ambassador. It is assumed that Egyptian and Samoan affairs were under consideration. Judging from the tone of the German press France has little to hope for regarding the Soudan convention in this direction. The Berlin papers satisfied that Great Britain is adopting the "open door, policy in the Sondan sees therein prospect i've advantages for German trade.

FOUND DEAD.
David Tuck. Negro Furnace La-
 borer.

David Tuck, a negro laborer employed at the furnaces of the Sloss Iron and Steel company, was found dead early yesterday morning on the top of one of the coke ovens of which he was in charge.
 Tuck went to work at midnight and ate lunch with some of his fellow laborers about an hour later, which was the last time he was seen alive.
 About o'clock he was found lying face downward with his head resting on the oven cap, and on closer investigation it was found that he was dead. His face was terribly burned result of the intense heat from the oven. Coroner Dallas was immediately notified and went out to the furnace, where he held a preliminary in- quest. It was at first thought that death was the result of foul play, but after exam ming a number of witnesses Coroner Dallas concluded that it was unnecessary to em- pannel jury, giving as his opinion that the negro had died of natural causes.
 The body was removed to the Warner Smiley undertaking establishment, where it was prepared for burial
 It Is supposed that the negro was strick- en with apoplexy or other heart trouble, which caused his death.

THE REDS" WON
In the Basketball Game at Athletic Club
 Thursday Night.

What was perhaps the best basket bah game of the season was played Thursday night at the Athletic club to the largest and most appreciat.ve audience. The teams were composed of ten of the players, who are among the best in the club, and the audience was very liberal in it's applause for the good plays on either side.
 The object of the game was to give the men an opportunity to show how they could play in order that the judges may select the team which is to play the army officers from Anniston next Thursday night They will make their selection some time today.
 The teams were designated Red" and "Black' last night, and line up as follows:
 Red. Position. Black Donelson... ... ...center.. .. ...Jones, Capt Ferguson, Capt..r forward. ..Stollenwerck McDonough.. ..l. forward...... ..Dean Warren.... ... IT. guard.... Thompson Batton... :. .. Il guard. .... Riddle
 Red won by score of 20 to 10. The winning teams team work was better than their opponents, and the red-shirted men were able to find the basket with much more ease. The Blacks had the ball play ing around their goal enough but, try as they could, the ball almost refused to go in There were several brilliant plays made during the evening.
 For Red" McDonough, Donelson and Ferguson each made three goals from the field, aggregatng eighteen points. Warren pitched two goals from fouls, making the total score twenty. For Black Dean made four goals from fouls, Stollenwerck two goals from the field, and Jones one goal; in all, ten points.
 Between the halves of the game, Walter Perry. a telegraph boy, gave very cred itable exhibition of trick bicycle riding.

Charged With Burglary

Will Wilson, colored, was bound over to the grand jury on $20O bond on the charge of burglarzing the store of Chamblee Bros. on the night that Robert Warnock was shot. Will kept his goods well concealed for long time, but few days-ago he went to a shoemaker to sell some of the shoes he had pilfered. Suspicion was aroused and Will was arrested. He acknowledged that he was implicated in the crime, but said that he had only kept watch on the outside, while Peter Jackson, another negro, had entered the store.
 Peter, the namesake of the famous coored fighter, was also on trial, but as none of the stolen property was found in his possession and as there was other evidence, the judge held that Wilson's confession could not duplicate Peter, so he was turned loose. The boy smile assumed the shape of a new moon on this announcement, and he started for the door of the court room without wasting a moment of time.

Brass Steaiers

Emil Huss, white German, and who is now on the road, but whose father is a brewer in Chicago, and three little negro boys, Vim. Dodd, Peter Lewis and Oscar Jones, were arrested last Saturday on the charge of stealing brass in the Southern railroad yards, but as the officers had not been able to get enough evidence to con- vict them of stealing, the offense was changed to lettering. Attorney Aliens speech for Huss was one of the features of the morning.
 This boy was arrested on the charge of stealing brass he exclaimed, "but the only brass that has been produced are the but tons on the coat of the pompous officer here who made the arrest'' MT. Allen also proceeded to jump that "great Southern octopus referring to the railroad, for blockading the tracks under the Twenty second street bridge, which he said was a public thoroughfare.
 As it was very probable that the boys on trial had gone on the railroad tracks only to see the boys who were really stealing the metal and tools, and as they had already been detained in jail for a week, Judge Fea- gin decided it was only justice to turn them loose

WHAT MAKES MEN DRUNK Z?
Opinions Differ Somewhat as TO the
Supplying Effects of Alcohol.

The world of theory and practice is
still in doubt on the question-What
makes man drunk? The answer of
the frivolous would be whisky" or it's
allies. But what we want to know is
whether the action of alcohol on the
walls Of the stomach or it's fumes on the
upper interior regions of the body is re-
sponsible for the state Of coma that fol-
lows too frequent drumming.
Navy officers in China acquired last
ing reputation as drinkers by taking sur
reptitiously tablespoonful of oil before
starting on a drinking bout. The explana-
ton has been made that the oil, floating
on top Of the liquor, prevented the fumes
from rising and causing drunkenness.
Can this be true? An old FOUNDER in
this city, who has drunk half the club
men in town under the table, says give
him a bowl Of nuts and let him crack
and eat one or two after each dram and
he will resist all the liquor influence mat
can be thrown at him.
