cisive step was taken last evening by
the city council, when it accepted the
bid of the Fruin-Bambrick Construc-

pose to erect the said waterworks.
After a system of fine figuring, in
which the council decided that the to-

pany has accepted the city's accept
ance and it has one week in which
to do this.

A GREAT ARMY OF STRIKERS.

The Philadelphia Press figures
up. that $4,000 persons in the
United States are now on q strike;
This represents a population Of
we'll on to million. We do not
propose to put the responsibility
on the Mckinley administration,
although it is easy TO recall that
whenever strike took place I'M
der the democratic administration
the Press was ready with its cry,
there's Clevelandism for you, !"
or "there is democratic free
trade" neither OF which had any
more to do with the labor troubles
of those times than Mckinley has
to do with the antitrust strikes.
Not near as much, either for cool
observers trace the existing fer
ment in labor to the creation of
trusts and their control over liz
'dustries. For the spread of trusts
the republican party, the McKin-
ley administration and the trust
creating tariff are clearly respon-
sible.

They filled ali the rooms, and
were persistent and noisy. Bauer
changed his mind about getting
married and told the women to
get out. Some of them had to be
led out by force. For several DAYS
the candidates continued to ar
rive, until Bauer had to buy a
bulldog and chain him at the
front stoop.

The story of a new trust, and
one that will come into direct
communication with housewives,
comes from Philadelphia. There
are 5000 grocery stores in that
city. A syndicate proposes to buy
up at least half of them, and, by
inference, run the other half out
of business. 1t is calculated that
5000 of them can be bought at
the rate of $4,000 each. Half a
million dollars will be added as
working capital, making the in
vestment $6,5O0,O0O.E The pro-
prietors of the places purchased
are to be retained as managers.
1t is figured out that the stores
could be made TO average each
$25, 600 year in sales, with profits
of 10 per cent, making an annual
return of 100000 on capitali-
cation of $,50O,0OO.-Savannah

Battle Monuments.

The Constitution of Friday had
an Associated Press dispatch
which stated that articles of in
corporation for the Kennesaw Me-
mortal Association had been filed
in Peoria, H., the object of the
society being to cause the erection
by the states of Illinois, Ohio and
Indiana, of monuments to soldiers
of those states who fell in the bat
tie of Kennesaw Mountain.
1t was stated that the society
owns sixty acres of land on the
site of Little Kennesaw Mountain.
This is the land sold by Mr.. Virgil
CHANNEL to a company of Nortn-
ern men, who alleged at the time
of the purchase that it was their
intention to convert it into a park
with the hope that the govern
ment would ultimately take it in
hand and make a National park
of it. With this nucleus it is
probable that Kennesaw Noun
tain and Cheatham's Hill, the lat
ter of which is owned by the
northern company, would form a
part or the Atlanta National
Park, should that measure ever
go through Congress.

The very devil seems to have

Gee gia, The Savannah News of
this morning contains an account
of a terrible lynching at Ways
Station and of an attempted out
rage at Brunswick and Savannah.
What is to become of the negro?

Why, those who commit crimi-
nal assaults on white females, will
be put to death by lyncbers or the
law, and those who are well.be-
haved, and law-abiding will go
right on enjoying life like other
folks. Have you noticed that the
industrious lawabiding negroes are
not lynched, but only those whose
brutal passions prompt them to
do diabolical crimes?

The Toledo (Ohio) Bee says
there are many things about
people that the newspapers don't
know, and a great many that they
know but don't publish. There
are also many things about a news
paper that some people don't
know. One thing many men do
not seem to get through their heads
Is that newspaper is not run on
the line of friendship, nor a me-
dunn through which an editor
may abnse his enemies and pro-
tect his friends. The newspaper
that permits such prostitution of
it's columns cannot retain public
confidence, for it then becomes a
partial judge and prejudiced ad-
vocate.

Karl Kruger is celebrated in
Chicago as 1.-THE man without a
stomach" That organ was le-
moved last April, because it had
developed a cancer and threatened
to carry its owner to the grave.
The operation of extirpation of
the stomach was not new. 1t had
already been performed several
times, but in each instance the
patient had survived only few
days or few weeks. Kruger,
however. appears to be permanent
ly cured. He eats well, sleeps
perfectly and is gaining in weight.
At first he could partake Of only a
few ounces of food at time, and
had to eat eight or ten times a
day. Now he eats three regular
meals, and says he enjoys them as
we'll as any man with a stomach
could. Having demonstrated that
a man may live without a stom-
ach, will the doctors next essay to
prove that a brain is not. essential
to human life?

WHEN THE CROP is LAID BIZ.

While wealth and society are
fiocking to the mountains and the

Of recreation, health and pleasure
the farmeris drinking the draughts
of a pleasure far more sweet and

giddy whirl of those who throng

Gates the brain and tends to strain
the senses Of pleasure beyond the
normal, can never rival ingenuine
10y the sweet contentment and
homely happiness that comes to
the faithful farmer who has toiled
through the winters blast, the
springtime's san and rain and
summers scorching heat when
''crop is laid by While the bal
ahce of toiling Humanity, without
rest or recreation, must continue
to fight the battle for bread, the
farmer rests from his labor and
looks out upon his broad fields,
the fruit of his industry waving
and ripening in the sun, and
dreams of the harvest days whose
gathering in winds up the cycle of
the year. The fruit hangs ripen-
ing OH the laden trees; grapes
cluster temptingly on the vines,
watermelons are lying in the fields
and all nature seems to have taken
on spirit of the rest and fuIlness
of the season.
We may live to grow old in
years, travel the world over and

Running newspaper is just
like running a hotel, only differ
ent. When q man goes into
hotel sees something on the
table which does not suit him, he
does not get up and raise hades
with the landlord and tell him to
stop his old hotel. Well, hardly.
He sets that dish aside and wades
into some of the many dishes that
do suit him. 1t is different with
some newspaper readers. They

Georgia pays $4,000 or more to
the United States every year fer
postage stamps. Every day the
governor signs a warrant for some
of the officials topurchase stamps.
The state pays for all stamps used
on official correspondence, and
each year the correspondents
grow. The stamp bill for the ex-
ecutive. tax and educational de-
partuents is probably heavier
than any of the others.

years later.
st. Paul's cathedral has a dome 112
feet In diameter. st. Peters, Rome, Is

Sleep.

Sleep Is the resting time Of conscious
ness. The more active and energetic the
waking life of the normal individual has
been, the deeper will be his sleep A
man exhausted physically or mentally re-
cuperates those portions Of his brain in
which are located the centers presiding
over the exhausted functions during the
sleeping period. In these exhausted nerve
centers the Inconsistencies is deeper than
elsewhere, in order that the rest may be
more complete.
This Is the best appreciated when we
remember the effect of sleep upon the
brain of a person who has suffered in
tense grief. When such a person sleeps,
grief is completely forgottenI no dreams
recall the misfortune. The Lethe of the
ancient Greeks finds its exact counter
part. Even on awakening 1t Is little
time before the exact nature of the mis-
fortune can be remembered. At first
there is a vague, uneasy feeling Of mental
suffering, O sensation OF sorrow, reali-
sation that a pail has been spread over
the life, but It's exact nature Is located
only by a distinct mental effort.-Health

Saved by a Trick.

"The funniest thing ever saw happen
ed to young man in Arkansas. He was
fresh in politics and was making his first
run for the state legislature. He was
running against man who had been
there for two terms consecutiyely. Al
one of the meetings the young man ac-
cused his opponent of supporting a meas
ure that was very distasteful to the con-
stituents Of the county. And he said,
grabbing the house journal on the table
before him, I have the record on the gen
tleman and can prove what | say I
deny it, said his opponent, and I assert
that the gentleman can find no such rec
ord in the Journal The young man
laughed and began to turn over the
pages. He fooled and fumbled for some
time and became very much embarrass-
ed. He never found the record, and as
this incident was on the eve of the cam
paign he could not recover from the mis-.
take.
"After the election was over it develop
ed that the old stager in politics had
while fooling with the journal on the
night Of the meeting torn out the three
leaves which contained the Objectionable
part of the record, and the trick saved
him."-New Orleans Times Democrat.
