THE CHANGES TO BE MADE.
Washington Politicians Begin Their
SpecuIations.

Washington, Sept. 15.-While Wash
ington is putting on its robes of
mourning for the funeral of the late
President Mckinley. heartiess poll
ticians are specializing upon the prob
able changes President Roosevelt will
make after he is securely installed in
the White House.
While it is generally conceded that
nearly all of the members of the late
Presidents cabinet will retire as soon
as they can conveniently do so, Presi-
dent Roosevelt has endeavored to
check untimely and premature discus
sion of the subject by publicly an
nouncing he approved McKinley's pub
lie policy and will endeavor of sustain
1t. lie has also requested the MEM
bers of the cabinet to retain their port
folios for the present.
At the White House I am told that
among the hundreds of kilograms of
sympathy and coincidence received from
all parts Of the world, addressed to
Mrs. Mckinley, some of the most inn
pressive and beautifully expressed mes
sages are from the Southland. In all
parts of the South, including Georgia.
South Carolina and Florida, words OF
comfort and encouragement have come
in language which emanates from ten
der hearts and those who are gifted IN
giving expression to deep and sincere
bereavement.
Among the official requests for as
signment in line at the state funeral 10
be held in Washington Tues
day came one from Mayor
MYERS of Savannah. In a
deeply sympathetic message, Mayor
MYERS states that the city authorities
of Savannah intend to send delega-
tion TO Washington to attend the fun
eral and desires that place in the pro-
cession be reserved for them. His mes
sage was promptly answered by Col
Sanger, in charge of the arrangements,
stating that place would be provided
for the Savannah delegation.
Already there is talk about the erec-
tion of a national monument in this
CITY TO the memory of the late Presi-
dent Mckinley II will not be under
the auspices of the Grand Army OF the
Republic but will be nom partisan and
on-sectional a tribute to much-loVed
President by the American people,
North, South, East and West.
Former President Cleveland has noti-
fed Col. Sanger that he intends to be
present at the funeral Of the late Presi-
dent Mckinley next Tuesday. Accord
ingly MIR. Cleveland will come TO Wash
ington and be the guest of Gen. NJ. F..
Wilson, who was commissioner of pub
lie buildings and grounds during the
two administrations OF Cleveland.
Several Southern military organiza-
lions have applied for position In the
funeral line, including two regiments
from Virginia and several independent
companies from other states. -

EBUDED A STERN MOTHER.
Loving Young Couple Fled by the
Light of the Moon.


Waycross, Ga, Sept. 15.--There was
considerable excitement in Waycross
last night when 1t was learned that
Miss Sadie Simpson, the beautiful
daughter of Mrs. C. c. Tomlinson, had
eloped with Mr.. Kinloch Goodyear, a
young machinist in the Plant System
Railroad shops in this city.
1t could not be learned for some
time, in fact not until this morning,
where the young people had gone. IL
was found that they secured a team
from McCraine's stables. but no one
they went.
Ordinary Warren Lott was asked IL
he had issued a license to the parties.
and it was found that he had refused
to grant a license to the young people,
knowing the girl was under age, and
that her mother was bitterly opposed
TO the match.
Then the ordinary of Pierce county
was wired not to issue license TO the
parties, but subsequent Developments
show that this message reached
that official too late, as Mr.. Goodyear
uAhbii DtllE ItAuoCu a liCNllct HtIE, NFIl
to Blackshear Friday night and secured
a license there, returning Saturday
morning. The young people have been
in love for some time, and Mrs. Tomlin-
son, the girls mother, emphatically de-
clared her daughter should not marry
young Goodyear. She looked upon him
as a clever young man, but felt that
her daughter was too young to marry.
Consequently she kept a strict surveil-
lance over the girl, and watched her
movements closely, especially when she
had an idea she was liable to meet the
young man.
Yesterday afternoon Miss Simpson
went for a brief walk, no one suspect
ing what was really the object of her
stroll. Not far from her home she met
her lover, and in short time team
was driven up with Mr.. John Hen
bricks, uncle of the groom,
and Mr.. McWilliams, who re-
Gently assisted the beautiful twins to
escape from the vigilant watch of
stern parents, aboard.
The young people were soon driving
rapidly away from town. They passed
out by Mr. Joseph McQuaig's home,
and driving out by Sunny Side came
back almost to town and headed for
Waresboro.
They reached there about 8 O'Clock,
and found the only minister in the
place, Rev. NJ. c. Austin. had gone to
his country appointment.
With fast-beating hearts they hur-
riedly hunted up Mr.. Joe Crib, a JUS
tice Of the peace, and in a few m)-
ments were made one.
They remained at the home of rela-
tives until this afternoon, when they
came home, and are stopping at the
home of Mr. NJ. L. Goodyear, father
of the groom, on Church street.

NOT so MUCH INSURANCE.
Now Believed the President Carried
Only $4,000 on His Life.

New York. Sept 15.-That President
Mckinley expected to live for many
years and had every reason for so
thinking is evidenced by the insurance
he carried on his life in favor of his
wife, the Press will say tomorrow.
Since his reelection he had made ar
rangements for the distant future long
after he would have retired from his
high office.
Only few weeks ago, it can be said
on good authority, he had changed a
straight life insurance policy of $50, 900
for a twenty-year endowment plan
policy. BY this contract, had he lived
twenty years longer, he would have
realized the face value of the policy.
He carried this $4,000 policy in one Of
the big New York companies.
1t was announced by another insur-
ance company Sunday that its agents
had paid by check Saturday to Mrs,
Mckinley policy calling for $4,000
Reports that the President carried
insurance. amounting to 100000 or
more are not credited by leading in
surance men in this city. Several ex-
perts have placed the total amount at
not more than $4,000.

LOOSE METHODS CONDEMNED.
Atlanta Bookkeeping Not Up To the
Mark of safety.

Atlanta. Sept. 15.-The report OF
Messrs. Haskins g. Sells, the firm OF
expert New York examiners, employed
by Council to audit the books In all
of the city departments, has been filed
with the Mayor and members of the
finance committee.
The auditors declare the present sys-
tenn of keeping accounts in the city
departments to be lax, and that oppor-
tunities now exist whereby the city's
money might be diverted wrongfully.
No deficit was found by the auditors
in any of the departments, but they
condemn the loose methods, which.
they say, now obtain.
Their work covered a period of two
years. The City Council during the
summer appropriated $1,500 to pay for
the auditing.
