his famous summer home In Clarks-
Vile. says the Macon Evening News.
In his front yard he has dug cave
ten feet deep and extending several
yards under the ground. In this cave
the Judge goes In the morning. and
there he turns out page after page of
copy. He has been at work on this
book for Il number of years. writing II

moved to Clarksville permanently. he
is determined to finish 1t. That 1t will
be an interesting work goes without

nor will pupils who were not regularly

examinations being first taken. These
examinations will be cheerfully given
during the last two days of August and
the first day Of September.

their class assignment may also call the
Thursday morning preceding the open

All pupils who were regularly promot-
ed may present themselves Tuesday
morning to their former rooms where
directions will be given them as to the
rooms in which they are to be placed.
By observing the above arrangements
parents and pupils will do much
towards enabling the schools to start

necessitate the loss OF two or three days
in getting organized for work.
A meeting OF all the teachers will

AN EASTER PARTY.
Some Unique Suggestions Furnished
by Geneva March.

by Geneva March.
Geneva March. writing in April
Woman's Home Companion. makes
the following suggestions for an Eas-
ter party:
The invitations should be written on
a heavy quality Of light, old red car
fridge paper and tied with willow
green rope silk and sealed at the place
Of tying with deep mahogany sealing
wax. Extending from the upper left
hand corner to the lower right hand
corner in fancy lettering should be the
words: "Who will sing an Easter car
oil? o pussy willow" At the left
side. a little above the center, should
extend row of six or seven cats. done
in crayon or water colors. with their
backs showing and long. strnggly tails
hanging down. every succeeding cat
on the right growing smaller. Below
this in the open space the Invitation
should be written.
There should be n border OF pussy
willow and cattails done In oils or wa
ter colors around the invitation. The
paper should then be folded over to
about the size of very large postal
card, the silk cord put In place. the
wax put on, and the address written
on the outside Of the Invitation. The
house decorations should consist Of
pussy willow and cattails, with lilies
banked or in jardinleres There should
also be nests of colored eggs, some
downy chickens and rabbits Cotton
flannel onesJ in unexpected places.
Refreshments may be as for any party.

Train Delayed.

The passenger train which left this
city yesterday morning was tagged be-
fore it reached the bridge spanning the
U. z. h. lode on German mountnin, ow-
ing to it having been discovered that the
bridge was sinking. Colorado & South
ern headquarters at Denver we're notified
and the morning train brought back to
Central. A construction train reached
here about 10 o'clock from Denver, and
the bridge temporarily repaired. The
train is now passing over it regularly,
The cause of the sinking is that the
mines in that neighborhood have worked
all the ground out underneath, leaving
no solid foundation for the bridge to rest
upon. Engineer Bristol and Conductor
Moore will use much caution in passing
over the dangerous part until il is prop
erly secured.

FOURTH OF JULY AT PARIS.
American Flag to Fly From Every
PUBLIC building and Eifrcl VoNeY.

American Flag to Fly From Every
Public DuildinE and EiGcl Tower.
July 4 at the Paris exhibition will be
the greatest American day ever seen
In Europe. Commissioner General Peck
has given to the New York Journal
the following outline of the plans pre-
pared for rhe celebrations:
Exactly Mt noon on July the lar
gest American tag ever made will be
uufurled from the top of the Eiffel
tower Its folds will be released to the
breeze by President Mckinley pressing
an electric button In the White House.
The current will flash under the Allan
tic to the top of 4he tower. The differ
ence in time will require the president
to perform the ceremony at o'clock
in the morning. Washington time.
The American flag will also float
that day from the top Of every public
building in Paris. and all the boats on
the Seine will carry 1t. Hundreds Of
thousands of stars and stripes will be
seen everywhere in Paris. and greet
ings will be exchanged between the
presidents Of France and the United
States.
Another historical ceremony the
same day will be the unvelling of the
statue of Lafayette, presented by the
American people to France. The best
representatives of both republics will
speak. 1t will be great day for
America in Europe"
The American sections of the Paris
exhibition are further advanced than
those of any other country. With
most of the buildings scarcely com
pleted. practically no interior work has
been done by the other nations in the
respective departments. America will
be the only one ready for the opening
on April IA. The reason is that 800
American workmen have been brought
over specially to rush everything as
fast rs possible. The way they make
things fly is astonishing the European
workmen. while American energy.
tricks of trade and individual resources
under every disadvantage are giving
surprising results.

New Cabinet nmcer

Before the present term OF President
Mckinley expires he will probably be
authorized by Congress to appoint
another Cabinet Minister, to be known
as the Secretary of Commerce and
Industries. The sentiment is favorable
to this new department in both houses
of Congress.
Senator Nelson has been authorized
by the Committee on Commerce to
make favorable report on his substitute
bill, which provides for a secretary, or
assistant secretary, a chief clerk and a
chief of bureau Of manufactures.
The bill reported takes from the
Treasury Department the following
bureaus: The life saving service, the
light house board and service, the
marine hospital service. the steamboat
inspection service. the bureau OF navi.
CATION, the bureau of immigration, the
coast and geodeticsurvey, the geological
survey, the bureau for the enforcement
OF the Chinese Exclusion act and the
bureau controlling the Alaskan seal and
salmon fisheries.
There IS taken from the Interior
Department the Patent Office. the Com
missioner OF Railroads, the Census
Office, the Commissioner of Fish and /
Fisheries and the Department Of Labor.
The bill also consolidates the Bureau
oil Statistics under the Treasury Depart
ment, and the Bureau of Foreign Com.
merce OF the State Department, making
the chief of the latter the assistant chief
OF the consolidated bureau.
A new bureau is to be created to be
known as the Bureau OF Manufactures,
with chief clerk at $4,000 a year, to
have charge of the manufacturing
interests ofthe United States, to gather,
compile and publish information in
respect to securing markets abroad and
to assist In developing and expanding
the snuiacturing interests of the
United States.
Senator Nelson's report recommends
that the old Post Office Department
recently vacated by that
department., be set apart for the use of
he Secretary OF Commerce and Indus.

Sir: In reply TO your letter of inquiry
OF the 9Th instant, you are hereby in
formed that the ruling regarding malt
extracts to which you refer is that every
malt extract that is composed Of fer
mented malt liquor combined with drugs
Csueh as Anheuser Busch Malt Murine,
Hof's Malt Extract, Pabst's Malt
Extract, and Wyeth's Malt Extract,
which have been shown by evidence
under oath filed here to have been so
compounded into medicine) may be sold

the seller in special tax liability as a
retail malt liquor dealer, provided he
sells 1t in good faith for medicinal use
only.
Every druggist or other person who
sells any malt extract as a beverage, or
sells it knowingly to those who buy Il
