day. This is an edible bird from Alas
ka and is believed to have been the first

PIRRI DOWN TOWN.
Crazy Strong Man Creates More Street
Sensations.

Antoine Tirri, the strong man, will
not be allowed to leave the insane asy-
lum so easily as heretofore. Late yes
terday he came down town attired in
a sailors cap khaki coat, blue trous-
ers and a wealth of red leis. In all this
grandeur, however, he was shoeless
and had a rough growth of beard on
his face. He carried a bicycle lamp,
which he had evidently taken from
someone, and was trying to sell 1t for
81. The police kept an eye on him all
the time and finally returned him quiet
" to the insane asylum.
It is said that Pirri broke in the door
of Matt Early's room at Kapiolanl
park track yesterday afternoon and
took ont everything that was not SOL
dered down. The plumber was taken
out of the insane asylum.

Warehouse.

In nearly every town there is warehouse,
or warehouses, where cotton or other goods
may be stored. If We cannot build knitting
mill, or u new cotton mill, or q new oil mill,
can we not at least build a warehouse? We
have no means OF knowing the possible pro.
fits of such a thing, but enterprising citizens
might investigate the matter. The old town
will stand still until somebody acts on the
line OF progress. The subscribers to the capi.
tai stock of the cotton mill have reason to be
proud Of the success OF that enterprise. Is 1t
not possible for Abbeville to do something
else? Is the town finished?

Hon. b. R. Tillman is adding nothing to his

against the junior Senator from South Caro-

about as soon consent to the release Texas or

To AtIanta's Credit.

We so often hear severe criticisms OF At
lanta that are glad to note one thing In her
favor. That city, after being snubbed by
Dewey, last week refused to make official
abasement in honor of that distinguished
gentleman. The mayor announced that II
the great Admiral came to that city he would
come as any other citizen. and not as the
official guest OF the city. Put this down to
the credit of Atlanta.

NEW YORK. March Si.-The Herald
says;
Demands will be made on the state
board OF charities for an investigation
OF the New York Juvenile Asylum's
methods CT indenturing children left
temporarily in its charge. Three cases
have been discovered where children,
who had been surrendered to the asy-
lum for two years. have been inden-
tured to Western farmers for the ne
tire period Of their majority.
White slavery. that is what it
amounts to-" declared Michael ]. Scan
Ian. counsel for the Society OF st. Vim
cent de Paul. who is investigating the
case Of Joseph Billotti. whose three
children-two girls and a boy-have
been apprenticed in Illinois until they
become of age, despite the fathers pro-
tests.
Mr.. Scanlan says he has learned II
is common thing for the asylum au-
thorities to disregard the temporary
surrenders and the protests Of parents
in sending children out Of the state TO
work on farms until they become Of
age.
