COMMENTS ON THE FAIR.

Sparta Ishmaelite: Brother Estill is
going TO treat all the newspaper men
right when they visit the State Fair
in Savannah.
Ringgold New South: Savannah is
making great preparations for the
State Fair which opens in that city
next month.
Washington Reporter: Interstate
fairs, horse shows, reunions and mer-
ry making have had their day and the
big Georgia State Fair will open Nov.
and bids fair to eclipse them all
combined.
Liberty County Herald: Liberty
county will have no exhibit at the
State Fair in Savannah this year ex-
cept in the way of the most gallant
cavalrymen that ever wore uniform,
bestrode a horse or flashed sabre.
The Herald greatly regrets that the
county will not also have an exhibit
of its farm and other products for we
we'll know that they would have COM
pared favorably with any county in
South Georgia. Outside of Chatham
not another county in the First Con-
gressional District will have sign of
an exhibit, though a few individuals
in several of the counties may exhibit
some of their own products.
EFFINGMAM is COMING.
Effingham News: On next Wednes-
day, Nov. 6, the state Fair will be
opened at Savannah, and from pres
ent indications gives promise of being
the biggest success on record for the
enterprise. Efnngham county will be
found in line when the gates are
thrown open to the public. and the
fact remains indisputable that she viii
have something to show both to her
credit and that of this section of the
state.
state. Effingham Hussars will ride in
TO Savannah Nov. or to partici-
pate in the military parade that viii
be the chief feature of the opening
day of the State Fair.
COBB COUNTY's EXHIBIT.
Marietta Journal: AS predicted in
these columns, the splendid exhibit
made by Cobb county at the Inter-
state Fair held in Atlanta the last
week, won the premium of $1,000 dol
lars for the best county agricultural
display 1t was a magnificent display,
in variety, quality and quantity. and
no county can excel it. Old Cobb is
still the banner county and shows
what can be done by the people of this
county. The county will also contest
at the State Fair at Savannah next
week, the premium offered being
$1,000 Watch Cobb carry off the blue
ribbon there also.

At Thorn, in West Preussen, Just on
the Russian frontier, the attention of
certain tourists was directed diligently
decipering an official notice hanging in
a conspicuous place in the chief rail-
way station. Their curiosity led them
10 approach the crowd to inquire what
was up, and they discovered that the
people were much more astounded and
curious than they themselves. In large
letters drawn up in official form, with
all the necessary signatures, counter
signatures, official stamps, dates, etc.
it was publicly announced, Three lem
ons will be put up to public auction at
IL o'clock this morning at the goods
station" Everybody looked at his
neighbor, and surmised that II was a
misprint. Not a bit of it; it was an in
stance of the lengths to which red
tapism and bigoted bureaucracy will
go on occasions. The porters of the
line had found three lemons in a goods
van, and nobody laid claim to them.
The notice contained, true statement
of the case, and in perfectly serious
form the head official became for the
nonce an auctioneer.
According to the regulations in force
on the Prussian state railways goods
that are "herrenlos" have to be deliv-
cred up to the authorities and then
duly put up to auction. The same

the demand for lemons not being great
at the railway station. The demand
was not such a wonderful one, and did
not repay the purchaser for going TO

MUCH GAME IN FLORIDA.

Jacksonville Times Union and citi-
gen: All over Florida yesterday sigh
of relief went up from the Nimrods as
they took down their shotguns from
dusty resting places and went out into
the woods after the Bob White" and
the turkey. Yesterday marked the ex-
piration of the closed season for hunt
ing birds, that is, game birds. and once
more this fascinating sport OF the
pursuit of the quail and turkey can be
engaged in. In the game season Jack
sonville is the headquarters for many
huntsmen, and there are lots of devo-
tees of the sport in this city. This was
exhibited yesterday by the fact that on
the very first day when the law per-
mitted, several hunting parties went
out from here to seek such places as
the quail could be found in. 1t is not
very far to go from Jacksonville to
find good shooting, and in many por-
tions of Florida, as is well known, the
shooting is unexcelled. The birds are
said to be very plentiful this season.
and huntsmen are looking forward to
a fine time.

Sam Rawson occasionally said a good

A stretch of road running past Sans

good order, and there was general in

The Part They Played In the War
Between the States.
It is odd to think that the southern
mountaineer was not discovered until
the outbreak Of the civil war, although
he was nearly century old then, and
it is really startling to realize that
when one speaks Of the southern noun
taineers be speaks Of nearly 100000
people who live in eight southern
states-Virginia and Alabama and the
southern states between-and occupy
a region equal in area to the combined
areas Of Ohio and Pennsylvania, as
big, say, as the German empire, and
richer, perhaps. in timber and mineral
deposits than any other region of SIM
liar extent in the world. This region
was and is an unknown land. 1t has
been aptly called Appalachian Ameri-
ca, and the work Of discovery is yet
going on.

Eiah That Change Color.

It has been found that certain
prawns, common along the coasts OF
England. change their color at least
twice every ~ hours in order TO bar
monize with the stronger or weaker
light prevailing near the surface or in
the deeper water. AS evening ap-
proaches these fish lose their distinctive
day colors, and all assume q transpar-
ent azure hue. The change begins with
a reddish glow. followed by green
tinse which gradually melts into blue.
The day and night change has become
so habit al that specimens kept in per-
petual Light or perpetual darkness new

ton of color.

The newspapers are agitating the
question of nominating a Southern
man for the Office of President of the
United States, but up to this time the
suggestion has been confined to the
democratic nomination. The Republi-
cans seem anxious to get a foothold
again in the South, and why not
tender their nomination to our junior
senator, who is in accord with them
upon all the principal issues before
the country? The democrats will agree
in advance not to bring out Tlllman,

PRECIOUS STONES.
The Methods by Which They Are
Tested by Experts.


In q lecture Oh precious stones re-
Gently delivered before the Industrial
association of Berlin, DR.. Emmanuel
Friedlaender said that the testing Of
diamonds is comparatively simple. The
common test for hardness SufficeS. II
the stone resists strong attacks, it IS
certain to be genuine: if it does not,
the damage is insignificant, as only an
imitation has been destroyed. This
test, however. is doubtful with rubies.
If ruby can be affected by q steel
file or by quartz, it is surely not gen.
uine. but such test with q topaz is
liable to injure valuable stone.
The test for hardness is Of no avail
with emeralds, as this stone is not
much harder than quartz and in addl-
ton possesses the quality Of cracking
easily.
For examining rubies and emeralds
the optical test is best. a glass mag
nifying about 100 times sufhces. Ey-
cry expert knows that almost all pre-
cious stones have little flaws. Nearly
every ruby and all emeralds have
many defects, which are SO character
istic that the genuineness Of the stones
is readily established. Such test is
very necessary with rubies, because
the limitations are very deceiving.
Their color is absolutely durable and
often much finer than that of the gen
uine, although it may be stated that a
somewhat yellowish tint is always sus-
picious.
The only reliable way in which gen.
uine rubies can be told from limitations
is by the minute air bubbles Of the lat
ter, which become clearly visible un-
der the magnifying glass. These are
not to be found in the natural gem.
On the other hand, the limitations lack
certain defects characteristic Of gen.
uine rubies-certain yacuums, whose
outlines are much more indistinct than
those Of the air bubbles in limitations.
True emeralds have similar charac-
teristic defects, such as Enclosures OF
liquids and curious dendrites. Sap
phires also show peculiar netlike for
nations.

GOT A SENATOR'S HAT.
Actor Crane Appropriated the Head
gear of a Kansas Statesman.

gear of n Kansas Statesman.
Among the stories that are retailed
in the cloakroom Of the senate when
that body is in session at Washington
is one of hov; William II. Crane. the
actor, put the finishing touches upon
his great character study, The Sen
ator."
Gas you we'll know" said one of the
group. Crane took his character al
most directly from Senator Plumb Of
Kansas. Crane had just started out
with The Senator and had opened in
Washington. We had all seen the per-
Torrance and liked it immensely. But
I thought l saw one defect Crane
wore high silk hat, which was not at
all, according to my thinking. in keep
ing with the imitation of Plumb, who
always wore the characteristic broad
brimmed hat Of the southerner. One
evening when Crane. ingalls,, Plumb
and myself happened to be dining to-
gether remarked to Crane about the
matter Of the high hat.
You really ought not to wear it.
for it is not in keeping with the char
acter,' said l. you ought to wear one
like Plumb's.'
Crane did not say much in answer.
but when he arose from the table he
reached out for Plumb's hat and calm
ly put it on. Leaving his own hat for
Plumb, Crane went off down the street
with the old felt affair jammed down
over his forehead. The senator was
too surprised to offer objection. The
next night Crane appeared on the
stage with Plumb's hat on his head
and thereafter wore it at every per-
formance."-Chicaso Chronicle.
