From my recent experience" said Rev.
Sam Small at the Hotel johnson last
evening. some of these ticket brokers
are very swift SPECTATORS. The other
day. when / was leaving Atlanta for this
city. I purchased my ticket, but as I turn
ed for moment to reach for my grip
some llght-dngered fellow sneaked the
ticket off the window ledge Of the ticket
office. 1 had to buy another ticket, but
left word with the agent to look out for
my lost billet That afternoon he walked
into a scalper's office and asked for
ticket and it was delivered 10 him, with
the excuse that it had been left there for
sale by a stranger. Yet it had my sigma
ture on the back, was stamped u. S. Of
ficer' on the face, and was limited TO two
days! The agent got wind of it by the
scalper's having offered it for sale to
supposed traveller. And that was in my
home city, where am perfectly known to
every railway conductor on every road
entering the town. But that is the genius
of 'sealping,' as 1t is called. Oh, some Of
the scalpers are warm people, and Will
buy anything in the shape of a railroad
ticket that is not on fire."

University Extension Society Enjoy
ed am Afternoon.
One of the most interesting meetings It
has ever had was enjoyed yesterday by
the members Of the University Extension
Society at the Chatham Academy. There
were many present, and the discussion
and the papers were unusually entertain
ing.
Milton was the subject for the after
noon and the method of IT'S treatment was
exceptionally good and a credit to the
committee that arranged the programme.
Mr. Charles d. Kline read paper that
was heard with sustained interest He
read OF the life Of Milton and eulogized
the great poet in language chaste and elo-
queni. The character Of his paper be-
tol5ened considerable research and showed
that Mr.. Kline had made careful prepar-
alton. He shows a just and true appre-
citation of the poets character and briefly
gave pure Interpretation of his life and
his love of political and religious liberty.
Another paper on Paradise Lost" was
read by Rev. Mr. John ID. Jordan Be
ginning with a little appreciated humor
Mr.. Jordan turned to a relation of the
story of the poem. He spoke of the epic
as being grand and sublime in its concep-
ton and stately and dignified in its ex-
preston. Millions moral earnestness was
mentioned. and Mr.. Jordan dwelt at some
length upon the religious aspects Of the
poem.
Miss Ruth Kayton read selections from
the prose writings of Milton, and then fol-
lowed lively and entertaining discussion
of the phases of his life, character and
work Ia which Mrs. George Barnum, Rev.
Dr.. Chapman Mr.. Jordan and a number
of others engaged.
The next meeting of the society will be
devoted 10 a continuation of the discussion
of Milton, and Dryden will also be taken
up. The leader, Mr. NJ. NJ. Parks, said
the meeting of yesterday was the most
successful the society has attended.

DOM CARLOS IN THE BULL RING
Pcrilous Adventure of the King OF
Portugal in His Youth.

From CasSelPs Magazine.
Before he became a benedick, Dom Car
los was passionately fond of the excite
ment of the bull ring, which he would en-
ter lncognito, not as a spectator, but to
take an active part in the dangerous game.
Now, in the Portuguese method of bull
fighting neither bulls nor horses are killed,
and to prevent the possibility of a bull
goring a horse which he may happen to
corner. his horns are covered with padded
guards. One element of danger which is
present in the Spanish method is thus
removed from the Portuguese rings;
though even without this particular peril
there are still plenty of short cuts to the
other world left open TO the daring Now
Dom Carlos is nothing If not brave so
when one OF the court beauties rallied him
on taking the poor animal at disadvant-
age, and thoughtlessly dared him to face a
bun with sharp, unguarded horns the
King gailandy replied that ne would do
SO at the next fight, and invited the scoffer
to witness his OF the bulls triumph from
the royal box. Now, the regulations of
the ring strictly enjoin that no bull is to
be fought In Portugal, with points un-
bated;" but, in face OF royal wish, reg
ulations have way Of becoming elastic.
Orders were gwen, therefore, that bull
was 10 be admitted to the arena In fun,
untrammelled possession of all his natural
weapons, offensive and defensive. Dom
Carlos took his stand before
the swinging doors and wait
ed with the friled darts ready
In his hand for the bun to charge. There
was below ard scurry. and then tor
nado of Quiveriug brown limbs and glanc-
ing horns made for the place where the
present King of Portugal was standing.
But a bull rarely charges home at the
first attempt, and this one did as Others
do Il stopped, snorted angrily and threw
up the sand with its front hoofs.
The King waved his arms, made a feint
to lure ii on, and then, as il charged again,
sprang 20 one side TO avoid IL; but in the
very act of his spring slipped on a wet
place left by the watering hose-and fell,
The whole audience rose with a simultan-
eous cry of horror for though Dom Carlos
