eral Byrd issued orders this morning for

ed time limit, which is within forty days,

Used Capitol Basement.
The basement of the Capitol, which has
been used since the building was erected
as an armory by the military companies
of Atlanta Is being rapidly vacated. This
Is in pursuance of the policy of Gov. Can
der, Whoa has decided that out of the APP
preparation which the Legislature has
made for military purposes, a certain
amount be set aside for armory rent for
each military company. Gov. Gambler has
determined that it would be unjust to 9TH
er military companies outside of Atlanta
TO force them to pay rent and allow the
Atlanta companies to use the states prop
erty for an armory. The basement of the
Capitol will be used solely as an arsenal,
as far as military purposes go. All the
reserve accoutrement and arms and am
munition will be stored there and held in
readiness for use.
Requests as to Uniforms.
Many inquiries are being received daily
at the Adjutant Generals Office from COM
pany commanders over the state asking
that a special distribution of uniforms be
made to them. Some companies want
more blouses than trousers, some want
no caps and more than the prescribed forty
uniforms. Many other requests of a SINH
lar nature are constantly coming in. The
rule has been prescribed by the depart
ment that each company shall receive for
ty uniforms, which includes forty caps
forty blouses and forty trousers. Acting
Adjutant General Byrd said this morning
that no deviation would be made from this
rule. Every company would receive the
original amount decided upon and no al
terations would be made in the general
order.

EFFINGHAM TROOPS TROUBLE.
Election Returns Thrown Out anG
a New Election Ordered.


Atlanta, Feb. 15.-Human nature seems
to be the same in military ranks as well
as civil life, especially where politics l.
concerned, and another row has come 10
the surface as result of the recent cleo
ton.
Acting Adjutant Byrd to-day issued the
following order:
1.-The election returns for Troop c, the
bingham troop. First Regiment Cavalry
for general election of Feb. l. 1900, showing
gross illegalities on their face, in that the
name of but one person appears as man
ager and he signing his name in no official
capacity, these returns are hereby con-
demned and thrown out and the election
declared null and void.
capt. Dasher was ordered to remain In
command till the result of the second elec-
ton was known and his successor COM
u1issioned.
At first glance it appears that there is
nothing startling behind this action, but
it is reliably learned from Savannah mil
itary sources that there was a very large
size row in the troop there. The charges
came from the Dasher side. The opposing
candidates for captain were Capt. II. r.
Dasher and Capt. Neidlinger.

BEAUTIFUL FRANKNESS.
That OF the Little "PItchers" which
il Always Manifested at the
Wrong Time.

The new minister was preaching tenn
porarily at the church In the western
suburb to which he had accepted call.
He had not yet completed his pastor
ate in the city, and consequently 1t was
an unsettled matter whether he would
be able TO FIJI his new pulpit regularly
until after his release by the old con-
gregation. II may be promised that
the minister's name was not Brown.
Mrs. Brown went out to call one day
at the house of one Of the prominent
members OF the new church, whose
name was not Smith. Mrs. Smith re-
ceived Mrs. Brown graciously and the
two women had pleasant call. Little
Miss Smith, aged eight, assisted her
mother in doing the honors for the new
minister's wife. Finally Mrs. Brown
arose to go. She was accompanied to
the door by both Mrs. Smith and her
daughter.
"By the way, Mrs. Brown" asked
Mrs. Smith, as the former stood for a
moment In the open door. 'who will
preach in the church on next Sunday ?"
20! my husband" said Mrs. Brown.
"Mr Brown will preach next Sunday,
surely"
why, mamma" said the Smith child,
with the beautiful frankness of child
hood, Il thought you said Mr.. Brown
couldn't preach at all."-Chieago Trib-

A SMART LAWYERS MISTAKE.
muIcted His Partners In a Deal Hut
They Afterwards Got
Even.

A well-known Maine attorney. is especially
noted for his keenness in looking out for
the best end OF every bargain-and for his
ability in getting hold OF that end. 1t has
made him unpopular in some cIrcies-has
that trait OF his!
On one deal not long ago he was in with a
couple of friends-men OF wealth and stand
ing says the Lewiston Mel Journal. Busl.
ness was good the first year. There was
generous division Of profits. But the lawyer
wasn't satisfied with what was coming to
him, share and share alike with the others.
Alter receiving his proper whaek as part.
ner, he exacted $500 more for council ices.
He said that as a lawyer he was worth that
much more to the deal This was new way
OF looking at the matter, but the bill was re-
signedIy allowed by the friends.
They we're pretty good business men, un-
derstand. In little while they saw that the
venture wasn't panning out very well. so
the shrewd men Of affairs quietly unloaded
without saying anything to their partner.
Then a little later came the crash.
The lawyer hurried around to hold conso.
lation meeting with the other two.
''Gracious, isn't this too bad, moaned he.
IL lost so.and-so. How much did you fellows
drop. You must have been hit pretty
hard"
you're wrong, old boy" came the cheer
full duet. 1--WE never lost dollar; no, we

COURTESY ON A STREET CAR.
How an InauisitIve Woman Managed

A big, fine looking man sat In the

had box OF candy In one hand and
an opera lihretto in the other. She
tried to get newspaper from boy
who came through the ear, but the
conductor broke up the transaction

him down on the pavement. Then the
pretty woman in the up-to-date frock
paid her fare in pennies. and smiled

The big mans newspaper was
spread out before her eyes, and she
glanced at the headlines. Then she
read half column about a thrilling

at the big man. Apparently he was
taking no notice, She began on a
