We have all had experience with
this kind of tease.
Do not want any more of it.
1t makes life burden.
We are glad to be rid r. it at any
price. Chase & Sanborn Teas, on
the contrary, make life joy, and
yet are sold at price that is within
the reach of all.
Whoever once uses Chase & SAM
born's package teas experiment no
further.
The name of this reliable. firm
that has gained its reputation by
giving to the public the best that
money could buy, is a sufficient
guarantee of the excellent quality of
their package teas.
Because they are properly packed
you can get the rich flavor necessary
to perfect tea-you will find no
scraggy, coarse leaves picked from
plants improperly cared for. Every
leaf is perfect.
Reliable because they come direct
to you in the original package, in
pound and half pound, alright,
loaded forms.
Any of the varieties are good.
The choice is given you as your
taste may dictate. For instance the
Kohinoor, an English Breakfast Tea
of fine quality, the Orloff, a Formosa
Oolong with a delicate lilac flavor.
the Orange Pekoe, an India and
Ceylon tea with a rich, wine-like
body.

"SLEUTHS" IN COURT.
Serious Charges rlade BY Law
yers Against Two Atlanta
Detectives.

David S. Looney aud William A.
Bradley, two private detectives OF At
lanta, were declared Monday night by
Judge J. II. Lumpkin to be in con-
tempt of court and were sentenced to
twenty days in Fulton county jail.
A few minutes after announcing this
decision Judge Lumpkin granted
supersedeas and placed the two men
under 81, 900 bonds, making the pro-
vision that the bill of exceptions ia to
be filed within twenty days. The case
will be taken to the supreme court for
final decision, and if the judgment Of
Judge Lumpkin is affirmed the two
detectives will at once begin serving
their sentences.
All o: this was the outcome of an at
tempt to corrupt two members of the
Atlanta bar-Lowry Arnold, of the
firm of Arnold & Arnold, and R. J.
Jordan which is said to have been
made a few days ago.
Ine charges were III suOstauce tuat
Juror named T. J. Penn, had ap-
preached the detectives and offered to
'sell out" if they (the detectivesl
could arrange the matter with the at
torneys interested in the will case.
The lawyers alleged that they were ap-
preached on the subject in an indirect
way, and forthwith reported the mat
ter to Judge Lumpkin.
Judge Lumpkin, in announcing his
decision, refrained from dealing with
the evidence heard during the day. for
the reason that he did not desire to
say anything that might prejudice the
minds of the members of the grand
jury in the event that body decides to
investigate the evidence. The attor-
neys on both sides repeatedly made
reference to q probable action by the
grand jury, and there were other cir
cumstances connected with the hear
ing which gave the impression that it
is the present intention to have an in
vestigation into the criminal aspect OF
the case

EAGAN is PRESIDENT
Of Central of Georgia Railway.
Hanson Heads the Board
of Directors.

At Savannah, Ca, Monday, Vice
President John NJ. Egan, of the Gen.
trail of Georgia Railway Company. was
elected president of that system to
succeed the late President Hugh NJ.
Conner.
Major J. F. Hanson, of Macon, was
elected chairman OF the board of di-
rectors, in which position he will
have charge of the SYSTEMS financial
affairs.
The meeting of the board of directors
at which these elections were held was
perhaps the most important one since
the reorganization of the system, yet
none of the northern directors were
present.
The directors of the road who were
present were: J. NJ. Eagap, A. R.
Lawton, George J. Mills and Abraham
Vetsburg, of Savannah; Evan P.
Howell, of Atlanta; S. r. Jaques and
J. F. Hanson, of Macon; G. Gundy
Jordan, of Columbus, and Uriah 3.
Harold, of Americus.
Mr.. Eagan was unanimously elected
president of the Central, following
which Major Hanson was chosen chair
man of the board of directors. The
bylaws under which Major Hanson
was chosen to fill this position pro-
vides that he shall preside at all meet
ings Of the board, shall have charge of
the finances of the company and shall
perform such other duties as may be
required of him from time to time.
Major Hanson's duties will be some
what similar to those of Mr.. Conner
during the year or two prior to his
death.
No vice-president was chosen, and
there will be none. President Egan
will have charge of the active manage
ment of the property as he had as
vice-president in addition to the new
duties which will devolve upon him as
president.
The salaries of the president and of
the chairman of the board of directors
were not fixed at this meeting. Major
Hanson was made chairman of the
executive board, succeeding Samuel
Spencer, and Colonel A. R. Lawton
was placed on the executive board to
succeed the late H. NJ. Conner. This
board will meet in few days and fix
the salaries of the president and chair
man of the board.
It is thought President Eagan's
salary will be tho same as that received
by President Conner prior to Mr..
Egan's coming to the road, which was
s12, 900 year. It is also said to be
likely that Major Hanson's salary will
be something like $4,000 annually.

Dispatch From Roberts.

A London special says: Lord Rob-
erts reports that five companies OF
British troops have been captured by
the Beers rear Bethany.
The following is the text of his dis
patch to the war office announcing
the capture of five companies of his
own troops:
"BLoEMFoSTEIS, Thursday, April 5.
Another unfortunate occurrence has
occurred, resulting, fear in the cap
ture of party of infantry consisting
of three companies of the Royal Irish
Fusiliers and two companies of the
Ninth regiment of mounted infantry
near Reddersburg, little eastward Of
Bethany railway station, within few
miles of this place. They were sur
rounded by q stronger force of the en-
emy with four or five guns.
"The detachment held out from
noon April Sd, until April 4th at 8 a.
m., and then, apparently, surrendered,
for it is reported that the firing ceased
at that time. Immediately after 1
heard the news, during the afternoon
of April Sd, I ordered Gatacre to pro-
ceed to Reddersburg from Springfon-
tein, his present headquarters, with
all possible speed, and I dispatched
the Cameron Highlanders hence to
Bethany. He arrived at Reddersburg
at 1880 o'clock yesterday morning
without opposition, but could get no
news Of the missing detachment.
There can be no doubt the whole
party has been made prisoners"
QUEEN HEARS NEWS.
Lord Roberts dispatch describing
the disaster at Reddersburg was print
ed in the Dublin evening papers and
created general CONSERVATION. It
brought the populace with quick
turn from the rejoicing over the queens
visit to the great issues of the war,
and cast sudden gloom over the
gayety of the party at the castle.
A prominent member of the cabinet,
now in Dublin, when interviewed by
the correspondent of the Associated
Press did not attempt to conceal his
modification, nor to minimize the
evil effect of such reverses upon the
prestige of the empire abroad. He
attributes it and others like it of
recent occurr ence to lack of horses
and to the inability of the renounts
sent forward to endure the climate.
He appeared to have no hope OF i'm
mediate advance in force.
In the cabinet minister's statement
there was mo criticism of Lord Rob-
erts, who appears to be trusted i'm
plicitly, but intense irritation and
chagrin are felt that so many s'unfor-
tunats circumstance" should reterd
the march to Pretoria.

COMBINE PROBABLE
Between Mammoth Steel Interests
of Carnegie Company and
the Cramps.

The New York World says: Nego-
tiations are in progress for combina-
tion of the gigantic new Carnegie COM
pany and the Cramp ship building
concern. If the conference now going
on in Atlantic City results in salts
factory arrangement the coalition be-
tween these two great interests will
soon be announced.
Charles NJ. Schwab and Henry G.
Frick have been respectively at the
Brighton and Traymore hotels in At
lantic City for several days.
William and Samuel Cramp, OF the
William Cramp & Sons Ship and En-
gine Building company of Philadel-
phia, are at the Traymore. These four
representative men have had frequent
meetings. They have not progressed
beyond the point of denying that their
talks have anything to do with steel
and ship building trust.
It is we'll known to New York steel
men that ever since the Carnegie
Frick difficulties have been settled,
the newly formed company has been
looking for an offensive and defensive
alliance with some great ship building
concern. The new Carnegie company
with its $3.50, 100000 capital, al
ready stands at the head of the steel
making Interests o; this country.
Among the most profitable branches
of activity in steel manufacturing is
making armor plate for wsrships. The
Carnegie mills lead all others in the
industry. If the Carnegie company
should obtain control of, or strong
alliance with, the greatest ship-build-
ing concern in the United States, it
would be able to undertake contracts
of unpre cedented magnitude.
With power to issue bonds to the
extent of $3.50, 100000, the new Car
negie company can easily acquire q
big interest in the Cramp company if
the negotiators come to terms. The
Cramps capital is $4,000, 900 stock and
S1,500,000 bonds. The profits Of the
concern last year were $7O7,SOO.
The heads of the great ship-building
house are not far from seventy years
of age. New York steel men say that
the Cramps are not ayerse to an ar
rangement which will permit them to
give up the arduous labor Of managing
their gigantic shipyard.

EXECUTION WAS LEGAL.
0arroting of Murderers In Porto Rico
interests Officials.

interests Officials.
Beyond the mere announcement that
five criminals were to be executed at
Ponce Saturday for murder and out
rage, General Davis, the governor OF
Porto Rico, made no representation to
the war department on this subject.
The officials are concerned about the
situation, mainly because OF the meth
cd chosen for the execution OF these
criminals-the garrote.
But it is explained that neither tor
the enforcement of the death penalty,
nor for the repulsive method OF e1ecu-
tion are the military authorities re-
sponsible. These are the results OF
the continuance in the island OF the
Spanish legal methods, according to
the officials there. Some of the Wash
ington officials heartily wish that it
were otherwise in this particular case.
There is, however, a marked indispo-
sition to take any official action that
will tend to incite the latent jealousy
of the islanders over any encroach-
ment by the national government
upon their cherished customs and
laws, hence the hesitancy to act in the
present instance by committing the
sentence of the criminals.
