A WORTHY SUCCESSOR.
Something New Under the Sun.

All Doctors have tried to cure CATARRH
by the use of powders, acid gases, inhalers
and drugs in paste form. Their powders dry
up the mucuous membranes causing them to
crack open and bleed, The powerful acids
used in the inhalers have entirely eaten away
the same membranes that their makers have
aimed to cure, while pastes and ointments can
not reach the disease. An old and expert
eneed practitioner who has for many years
made close study and specially of the treat
ment of CATARRH, has at last perfected a

Georgia's Giant Sycamore Tree
From the Atlanta CONSTITUTION.

Dougherty county now lays claim to the
champion big tree of Georgia. 1t was dis
covered several weeks ago by employees Of
the Red Cypress Lumber Company who
were engaged in cutting timber 1t rears
its head from the midst of thick swamp
where hard wood trees abound, and to this
is due the fact that it was not discovered
sooner
This giant of the swamp is a sycamore.
It is on little knoll, and except in sea
sons when great deal of rain had faller
its trunk is not reached by water. A foot
from the ground its trunk is forty-four feet
in circumference For twenty feet above
the ground the body of the great tree is
round and symmetrical, but at that point
it branches into four sections, any one oil
which would make giant tree if standing
alone. The four arms of the big sycamore
do not spread out as would seem natural
but reach skyward, almost perpendiculrly
The tree is pronounced by all who have
seen it curiosity, and places Sin thu
shade all the known trees in Georgia

CAPT. LEARY DEAD.
First Governor Of Guam Dies At Chelsea,
Mass-Will Be Brought Here
For Interment.

Captain Richard P. Leary, u. s. NJ,
the first colonial governor of the United
States, appointed to the Island Guam in
the spring of 1899. died after brief
illness in the Marine Hospital, Chelsea,
Mass, yesterday. The deceased visited
his eldest son, Cadet Fairfax Leary, at
the Naval Academy short time ago.
Captain Leary was appointed to the Ma
val Academy in 1860, and saw his first
service in 1868 while yet an undergrad.
uaie. Captain Leary always wore hand
some gold watch and chain. which had
been presented to him by friends for his
service at Samoa in 1892. Captain Leary
at the time the trouble with Spain was
threatening, was being considered by the
Navy Department for assignment 10 the
command OF the United States steamship
"Olympia, of the AsiatIc Squadron, of
which squadron Commodore Dewey had
been put in command. Captain Leary,
feeling that the chance to see active
service was better in Cuban waters than
in the East, exerted all the influence tina,
he could, and was successful. Had he
accepted the Olympia he would have
seen fighting, which was his desire, and
also shared with Dewey the glory of the
victory at Manila. The remains will be
brought here for interment with naval
honors in the naval cemetery.

was held in Saint Anne's Church this
afternoon at 3 80 O'Clock. The service
consisted OF Evening Prayer, carols be-
ing substituted Tor hymns and chants.
The music was by the Sunday. school
and vested choir of the church. The
first carol, "Carol, Sweet Carol by
Crosby, was sung with much fervor. as
was also that other old favorite, 1--WE
Three Kings OF Christ" Three of the
choiristers sang, as solos, verses 2, 3 and
4 OF the latter, which bear the legendary
names OF the Magi-GaspaId Meichior
and Balthazar. A Very beautiful new
Carol, written in the quaint language of
the middle ages, by the Rev. Z Wilson,
set to music by MIR. Clement R Gale,
entitled "At Eve No Sound In Beth
lehem.' was well sung. haimonizing with
the dignity OF the service. The cradle
song. "SIeep, Holy Babe, Upon Thy
Mothers Breast is probably one OF the
most beautiful and religious carols ever
written. The choir was perfectly familiar
with it and the children joined in singing
this carol more than would have been
expected. Alter the service, the West
doors OF the church were opened, re-
vealing large. brilliantly lighted Christ
mas tree. The children. in the order OF
their classes. passed through the West
porch, where the tree stood, and about
II into the choir room, where their teach
ers distributed to them the gifts the con-
gregation had provided for this festival.
