Georgia Lawyers Handed Over Their
 Guns With Singular Unant .4:tr.


 Georgia has stringent law forbid ding it's citizens to carry pistols on pain of forfelting the weapons and paying fine of $50 or being impris- oned fer thirty days. Shortly after the passage of this enactment Judge Lester was holding court in little town, when suddenly he suspended the trial of a case by ordering the sheriff to lock the doors of the courthouse, "Gentlemen," said the judge when tho doors were closed, T have just seen pistol on a man in tbis room, aha cannot reconcile it to my sense of duty to let such violation of this law pass unnoticed ,3Ight perhaps to go be fore the grand jury and indiet him. but if that man will walk up to this stand and lay his pistol and fine of s1 down here I will let him off this time" The judge paused. and law yer sitting just before him got up, slipped his hand into hip pocket. drew out neat ivory-nandled six shooter. and laid it with dollar down upon the stand This is all right" said the judge, "but you are not the Dan l saw with the plstol.' Upon this another lawyer arose and laid down 3 Colts revolver and a dollar bill be- fore the judge, who repeated his for .ner observation. The process went on until nineteen pistols of all kinds and sizes and shapes lay upon the stand, together with nineteen dollars by their side. The judge laughed as he con- plimented the nineteen delinquents upon being men of business, but add ed that the man whom he had seen with the pistol had not come up, and, glancing at the far side of the court, he continued: sI will give him one minute to accept my proposition, a2o it ne fails I will hand him over to the sheriff" Immediately two men from the back of the court rose and begaA 10 move toward the judges stand, Once they stopped to look at each other, and then, coming slowly for ward laid down their pistols and their dollars.

 The trip of the United States gun boat Wilmington up the AmazoR river promises to be looked upon as one of Ghe achievements of the closing cen. tury. The commercial object of the Wilmington's cruise was to sec how rubber was found in the natural state, and what manner of man it was who dwelt in the remote Businesses of the great forests whence it came. During ghe Gunboat's stay the officers visited many Indian villages. The Indians were found te 1e apparently docile. but there was no mistaking their uncivil- 1zed state.

This was significant, inasmuch as it proved that the tribe belonged to the class known as head hunters" a term de- rived from their habit of preserving the heads of their enemies killed in battle.

They Can Make Music.
 Contractors In south Missouri en- ploy many negroes to load railroad ties on the cars of the Memphis rail- way, says the Kansas City Star. The ties are cut in the woods, hauled to the railway in wagons and dumped 1T piles along the side of the roads Int negroes then cake them up, tie by tie, and run with them up the blanks to the cars, whore they drop them in regular order These negroes are paid . price for eaeh tie they carry, So they vie with one another to earn the most money Tn one day. They become ae expert at the work that an old hand r&n throw heavy tie on his shoulder so that it will balance, and then. with out holding it, he will run, both hands pressed flat against his sides, up the gang plank 10 the car. The negroes are SO accustomed to the whrk that taev seldom drop a tie and seem never 70 have sore shoulders. One may see gangs of a dozen or more of them, all singing and whfstling Each sings at the top of his voice or whistles as loud as ne can, and every tune is different The effect is amusing, but beyond de- Scrtption. The men carry their ties at a trot all day long, An inspector stands beside the plank that goes up the ear to examine the ties being load ,'d. It is amusing to hear the inspec- tor call a negro halfway up the plank with a tie on his shoulder to throw 1t away among the heap of bad ties. The negro gets DO credit for his load and goes back swearing at his bad luck, while his companions stop their music and burst into loud, uncomfortable laughter. All these negro tie carriers have deep grooves In the right shoul- der, where the ties have pressed, but the flesh Is cailoused and seldom sore. The men make good wages, most of them s3.50 a day. They spend all of 1t. Very few Of theE save their pSney.

ing in his room In the Riggs house. a
physician pronounced death due to
apoplexy, suffered probably about 2
o'clock in the morning.
Colonel Shaw had returned about l 80
a. m. from a banquet at the Ehbitt
house In honor of his successor, Cen
eral Leo Rassieur. Before he left the
banquet hall he had responded elo-
quently to a toast and appeared in ex-
cellent health and spirits.
After his return to the hotel, he asked
for hot water, complaining of indiges-
tion. That was the last seen OF him
alive.
Colonel Shaw's private secretary,
Charles Z. Glynn, had an appointment
with him at 10 O'Clock this morning.
and when he did not appear one of the
bell boys climbed through the transom.
The body was discovered lying face
downward ON the floor The features
were slightly bruised. showing he had
fallen suddenly and heavily.
Colonel Shaw was an active worker
