ANOTHER LITERARY EFFORT.
Hall calne VIII Run For ParlIamen,
Seat.


LONDON, Oct. 19.-HaH Caine will be-
come a candidate for the Manx parlia-
ment in behalf of the town OF Ramsey.
His opponent is a lawyer. Mr.. Gaines adj
dress has created CONSERVATION even
among his own supporters, for he adj
vocates sweeping changes that might well
be planks in a national platform of some
great reform party. First of all Mr.. Caine
wants to nationalist the steamship con-
Meeting the Isle Of Man with England,
running IL without profit. Then he applies
himself to the Manx steam and street
railroads and would furnish the same
radical system to them. Land must be
treated in a somewhat similar manner,
the Manx parliament controlling the
drainage, cultivation and tree planting.
The banks, of course, arc included In this
naturalization scheme 10y which Mr..
Game believes that such financial scan
dals as occurred in the Isle of Man last
year would be avoided.
Mr.. Game tustifes these apparently un-
profitable national undertakings by point
ing out that the primary factor in Manx
prosperity Is the islands popularity as a
holiday resort and that 1t must prosper
or decline as 1t meets the needs of the
visitors. l,a
With parting reference to the necessity
for a reform of the system of representa-
ton and Kidding the legal system of its
anachronimistic superfluities the author
commits himself and his program into
the hands of the intelligent citizens of
Ramsey.

Fire-one Life Lost.

flames spread rapidly to all parts of the
upper stories of the building which was
a four story structure. covering more than
half block. The house was full. The
guests were aroused and most Of them
escaped. In fact only one fatality Is so
far known to have resulted from the fire.
This was a person who was heard to cry
for help and the flremen. looking in the
direction from which the sound came.
saw man believed to be guest of the
hotel, but whose identity is not known,
sink back into the flames.
The building was the property Of Neu-
haus Brothers & Kessler. of Sheulen-
burg, Texas, and was valued at about
Sl25, 900. The equipment also belonged to
the above firm and was probably valued
at $50 900. Other losses, 1t is believed will
run the loss to about $3.50, 600.
Messrs. T.. j. Boyle and Thomas Boyle
were the proprietors of the hotel and
within the past few months 5000 has

ing the building.

TALKED DEPOT SATURDAY.
Is Decided That Pryor Street Should
Not Be Closed.

The foul eyesore that is called a depot
the Ill smelling rattletrap that is known
as a union station, the menace to life
that is maintained by the railroads that
enter Atlanta, where ladies and gentlemen
and children are subjected to dangers. the
evidence Of disregard of the people. and
the monument to the penuriousness Of
the roads that enter Atlanta, the union
passenger station, was the subject of q
conference In the office of Mayor Minis
this morning.
The condition Of the tumble-down shed
was not discussed. The officials gave
their attention to solving theaquestion of
removing 1t from the city.
The conference was called by Council
man Charles A. Barrett chairman of the
committee on public improvements. and
was attended by Councilman Barrett Al
dermsn Day, Councilman Fincher Mayor
Minis and Hon. Porter King, one of Full
ton cOunty's representatives In the legis-
iature.
Mr. King attended the conference for
the purpose of ascertaining II Atlanta
would consent 10 the closing Of Pryor
street insorder to give the state an Oppor-
tunity TO tear down the filthy car shed
and erect union depot. he stated flGat
the state could only erect a depot upon
the present site by. closing thestreet. He
suggested subway for pedestrians.
Mayor Minis, Councilman Barrett, Coun-
Gilman Fincher and Alderman Day as
sured Mr.. King that the city would never
consent to closing Pryor street and coun-
ell would surely prevent such action.
Mr.. King suggested that a conference
between the Western and Atlantic rail-
road committee of the house and the
committee on public improvements be
held.
Nothing has been done so far and It
is the consensus of opinion in Atlanta
that nothing viii be done for some years
to come. Those who are the victims of the
railroads that enter Atlanta firmly be-
lieve that for the next ten years they
will be forced by the roads to subject
themselves to dangers, indignities and dis
ease in the infamous establishment that

advanced much further than in past

COMMISSIONER LINDSAY
. MAKES RECOMMENDATION

Pension Commissioner Lindsay, who has
just finished his annual report to the gov
ernor, makes strong recommendation
that commission be appointed 20 make
up muster roll of all soldiers who en-
listed either in the Confederate forces or
the state troops during the civil war. +,
Commissioner Lindsay holds that for
tue lack of such a document the pension
office is being greatly imposed upon. He
says that one soldier will try for a PEN
sion and that his comrades will swear to
his service, and when one of the others
apply for a pension they, too, will swear
for the other and in this way the pension
rolls are carrying numbers of names
which should be stricken and is anything
else but a roll of honor, as it was intend
ed to be.
Commissioner Lindsay strongly recon-
mends that the general assembly enact a
law providing for commission to make
out q complete muster roll of the veterans
of the state, and says that such a roll
would be inestimable in the pension office.
