The Anti-ScaIping Bill.

Savannah, Jan. 11-Editor Morning
editorial in to-days issue in reference
to the anti-scalping bill, now pending in
Congress. that the bill if passed, would
not eliminate the ticket scalper. 1t would
simply take away the right of any citizen
to engage in the business and give power
to railroad corporations to open scalpers'
offices. In other)words, it would give the
railroads power to say who shall be
ticket broker, and who shall not. 1t sim
ply creates a monopoly for the railroads.
1t is stated that the Central anti-scalping
committee has issued an instructive
pamphlet, wherein it reproduces a num-
Der of forged railway tickets by way of
illustrating the scalping iniquity Now,
thatIs no reason for having this bill pass
ed. Because this committee. consisting of
railroad men or men in the employ of
railroad companies issue this pamphlet,
it does not follow that scalpers forge tick
cts Railroad men, or some of them, are
MOI above telling falsehoods to further
their ends This was proved before the
Senate committee on interstate commerce,
when hearings on this bill were in prog
ress. Railroad men made several state
ments in regard to the ticket brokers,
which were untrue, and were proven TO
be so.
do not claim that all brokers are hon
est. 1 know there are dishonest brokers,
hut we had dishonest men before the
Lords Prayer was written and we have
them in this country yet, and will have
them until Gabriel blows his horn Legis-
lation does not make honest men.
Ticket brokerage, in itself, is not of a
fraudulent character. The business can
he honestly conducted, and has been so
conducted in the past by honest men en-
gagged in it, The most that can be as
serted is that there are some men engag-
ed in it who have been dishonest The
same assertion can be made with equal
truth of every business, trade and profess
sion Because some coal dealers cheat in
weight. and dealers in paints and oil in
measurements, and in tobacco in quality,
il has not hitherto l venture to say, been
thought the proper remedy to make 1t a
felony for persons to engage an such bus
mess unless they shall have been duly APP
pointed as agents by the corporations man
ufacturing or producing these articles.
Ticket brokerage has been decided to be
a nerfectly legitimate business. yet the
railroad corporate have fought the
brokers' for twenty years, and it certainly
should appear to the mind of an unprej-
indeed person that any business that has
been able 20 stand the test Of every con-
ceivable plan and scheme of railroad cor
norations. backed by their immense wealth
and influence for twenty years, must be
legitimate; otherwise it would have been
abolished years ago.
The vote in the House of 1l9 to 10l IS a
decided gain over the previous vote, and
shows conclusively that our congressman
are coming to the conclusion that scalp
are are not as bad as represented by rail-
road men. ~ D. Hd"Ss'

OLDEST MAN IN WAYCROss.
Preacher who Has Seen Interesting
Service in Methodist Conference.

Preacher who Has Seen Interesting
Service in Methodist Conference.
Waycross Ca, Jan. 1.-Rev. William
Howard Thomas. the eldest man in Way
cross, if not in Ware county, celebrated
his eighty-ninth birthday to-day. He was
one of the four men who laid the founda-
ton for Waycross, the other three being
Dr.. Daniel Lott, Dr William b. Folks
and DR.. Benjamin f. Williams, all of
whom are dead.
The first sermon ever preached in the
town was delivered by Mr.. Thomas, and
his son. Hon. Charles c. Thomas, a prom
inent lawyer Of Macon, was the first
child born in the place. He is a native
of Franklin county, Ga.
Uncle Thomas" as he Is Familiarity
called by the people here, was power
in the land in the days of pioneer Meth
odlsm in this and adjoining states. He
Joined the old Georgia Conference in 1849
in the same class with Bishop Key and
Rev. A. NJ. Wynn, and his first appoint
ment was the state line mission, which
embraced four counties located in three
different states, Georgia, Tennessee and
North Carolina. His salary from the mis-
sion board was 500 that year, and his
people paid him $44 in produce, such as
home-knit socks, homemade clothes
iron bars, and other articles. He was
next sent by the conference to the Ellijay
mission. Here he rode on horseback fully
200 miles each trip. In 1857 he was given
an appointment in the wiregrass section.
He served for a time as presiding elder
of the Brunswick district.
After his approximation he took up his
residence in Waycross. Mr.. Thomas has
been a powerful singer In his day. and
at the camp meetings years ago he made
the welkn ring. lie partly composed and
arranged one or two songs. 'The Happy
Sailor and when the Worlds on Fire,
are favorNes of the old man.
The ladies of Trinity Church, 10 which
he belongs, arranged a big birthday DIM
ner at his home on Church street to-day,
and the Methodist ministers Of the city
were invited. Those present. were Rev.
DR.. George G. N. MacDonel, Rev. j. O.
A. Cook. Rev. f. NJ. Whiting and Rev
J. NJ. Glenn bountful repast was pro-
vided. and the participants enjoyed the
day AS a testimonial Of their high es-
feem for him, the ministers presented him
a handsome umbrella.

resort of the fashionable, learned, ana re-
fined during the national career Of Egypt

10 believe this because it was at me unle

anime a bottle of it. 1 knew her very
well, and l said:
You are the last woman in the Worid

'Why?' she asked rather like It.
Then l quoted a passage from one OF
her novels in which she said that women

a very strong one, containing extract OF
musk and embergris also.
"Only yesterday a woman came In ana
asked for some extract of Chypre. the
man who was waiting on her looked con
fused for a second, but recovered himself
quickly, saying:
Madam, I'm very sorry We have no
extract of sheep, but we have extract OF
mutton and beef, both, and l can recon-
mend either
The woman showed her social training
by keeping a perfectly straight face.
"Old-fashioned folks are fond Of laVen-
dar and do not use it too prodgally. With
the taste for lavendar which they acquired
from our grandmothers, they seem also to
have inherited their idea that TO perfume
ones self too highly is vulgar. There IS
almost no waste in making perfumes.
Toilet waters, shaving creams, dentifrices,
and many of the dry perfumes already
mentioed are made from the refuse. The
business of putting up perfumes, wet and
dry, has become wonderful art, and ac-
counts largely for the constantly increas-
ing demand for such things. 1t used to be
sufficient for a perfume to please the
sense of smell; now it does not find ready
sale unless it also pleases the sense of
sight The bottles and their labels in
which wet perfumes are sold and the
boxes which contain soap and powders are
a study in themselves.
ITO go back finally to the present fash
ion in perfumes I should say that more
women use perfumes to-day, and strong
er ones, than ever before in the history of
our country certainly, but the truly re-
fined know how to use them with an art
that is alluring and beguiling in the ex-
IRENE TO mans senses"

HUMAN EYE As a CAMERA.
Absurd stories Have Originated
From Some Experiments.
FROM The literary Digest

FROM inc lAlttidA y A|i7Ne'-
The popular notion that the eyes Of the
dead sometimes retain complete images Of
scenes that nave been enacted before
them at the moment of death has received
fancied confirmation in late years by ex-

of these experiments, might get an impress
