Atlanta. Nov. 29.-Failing to receive a
constitutional majority, the bill 10 create
a bureau Of labor statistics for Georgia
was lost in the House to-day. The vote
stood rs 10 30 in favor of the bin. Mr..
Reynolds will move a reconsideration Mon
day.
There was quite heated debate over a
bill which provided that railroads should
be liable in damage suits arising from &C
cidents. If the PLAINTIFFS negligence was
equal to or greater than the company's ..
The bill had been adversely reported by
the General judiciary Committee, and that
decision was sustained.
Dr. Carlton of Clark introduced a very
Important resolution. which provided that
the 100000 received from the sale of the
Northeastern Railroad should be used to
reduce the taxes Of the state. He pro-
poses that 10000 shall be used next year,
and the year following in place of spe-
cial levy for the sinking funds. The levy
this year for that purpose was 26 mills and
in two years would be 50 mills. Or. Carl
ton says that If his resolution passes the
state tax rate next year can be lowered
from 5S6 mills to 4S1 mills. and the redue-
ton would probably be greater with the
increased value of taxable property.
In the House there was some discussion
about agreeing to count Sunday as, a leg
aslatve day, as provided by the Sena e
in an amendment attached to the House
resolution to adjourn until Moniay. Mr..
Harrison of Quitman said II looked as If
the members were too anxious to put their
hands in the state treasury, but the
amendment was concurred in by large
majority.

The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1899-03-04

The fact is noted that a Denver newspaper
man was frozen to death in a cemetery. The
cadavers in the newspaper profession in St.
Paul stay away from the cemeteries and stick
closely to the morning paper ofices.-St Paul
Dispatch.
The point intended to be made In the
above paragraph is altogether obscure.
The quality of the reference, whatever
the meaning intended. is not high. The
taste displayed in the choice of subject
is low.
The young newspaper man who COM
mitted suicide in the Denver cemetery
was worthy representative Of his pro-
fession for several years in New York
city. Driven abroad in search Of health,
he soon discovered that his case was
hopeless. Dying slowly Of pulmonary
Affections. he became discouraged and
laid himself down in a snow bank in a
Denver cemetery in order that life
might be frozen out of him. He leaves
behind him a name that will always be
respected by those who labored with
him. The name of this young man was

The Hard Fate of the Sparrow.

The recent heavy snow storms in the
East have developed quite an interest
ing freak in nature associated with the
predatory existence of the English
sparrow. Nobody has ever yet charged
this little feathered pest with idleness
and want Of pluck. He Is fair demon
strator. by his methods Of life. of the
theory that the world owes every ami
mated body a living. He Is tramp,
pure and simple. and an interesting
little cuss Of a tramp at that. But he
does not go ltmping along the high
ways a beggar. When hunger seizes
him he goes for the first thing In sight;
and if nothing happens to be in sight,
he obeys his instinct and industriously
and determinedly starts forth on a
foraging expedition on his own ac-
count
When the snow was lying to the
depth Of three feet and more upon the
streets Of Philadelphia few weeks
ago, the city sparrow was brought to q
realizing sense that his goose was cooke
ed unless he was able to develop some
source of supply. He is not thrifty in
the way of laying up something for a.
rainy day. He takes no thought of the
morrow what it may bring forth, NOR
ailzlng. always. that sufficient unto the
day is the evil thereof In fact, a rainy
day Is just as fruitful to him as one of
sunshine. But he does not always take

Admiral Dewey.

The United States government has
once more an admiral at the head Of
its navy-the first time since the death
of Admiral David D. Porter, who sue
ceeded that ancient but virile COM
mander, David Glascoe Farragut. And
the new admiral happens to belong to
the same heroic school,
Dewey was with -Farragut in Mobile
bay, but, while Farragut was not with
Dewey in Manila bay on the 1st day
of last May, his spirit was there, and,
like heritage from father to son, vic
tory descended and added even greater
accen%to the American voice on the
waters of the earth.
One year ago the new admiral was
somewhat in obscurity as the head of
the Asiatic squadron, at that time rest
ing in the friendly harbor Of Hong
Kong. An invitation to battle came
to him. and he conquered, and now he
is the foremost naval hero in the world.
He had lived more than sixty years
and endured much of his lifes period
in quiet service in behalf of his coun-
try before fortuitous circumstances led
him to place in which his merits and
matured knowledge of naval warfare
could be put to the test.
And what splendid demonstration
he made!
Not the United States alone, but all
the world, will applaud the elimination
Of the sentiment of the people which
yesterday added with entire unanimity
the deserved stars to his epaulettes,
designating him as it's leader on the
seas.

Tuesday had been, in his brief life, small,
White, shaggy Pomeranian dog, and his coffin

Why had he been named Tuesday? 1t was
on Tuesday that a little girl had seen him in

four other little Pomeranian relatives, rolling
about and boxing each other, and she had
