THE Americans can learn a few
things away from home" said an Off
cial yesterday who arrived in New Or
leans recently from Honolulu, land
sometimes the knowledge is of consid-
cradle importance when it comes to
the details of life. 1 have been living
in Honolulu for some time now, and
recall one thing at this time that may
ton on account of a prevailing fash
ion in hats. 1 observe that the pal
metto hat is the proper thing now IN
headgear, and l have learned a very
Simple and very harmless way of clean
ing them in Honolulu. These hats.
which come to us from British Hon
duras, are very expensive and they
are easily ruined when some of the
usual acids used in cleaning hats are
applied to them. They are of a very
fine texture. and cannot stand the
rough treatment given to ordinary
straw in the cleaning process. The
method adopted in Honolulu is simple
and inexpensive, and preserves the nat
ural color of the hat There is no
chance for discoloration, and when the
work is finished the hat looks as ii did

plan is the essence of simplicity. Plain,
dry cornmeal applied with a perfectly
dry brush, is all there is to IL. The
meal is rubbed on the hat with the
brush, and it is wonderful how quick
ly the work may be accomplished, and
how clean the hat is when one is
through with II. One may use an old
| cast-off tooth brush for the purpose.
But really any kind of a brush will
do, just so the bristles are not stiff
enough to injure the hat. This process
! is used altogether in Honolulu, and the
/ Americans, in view of the popularity
/ of hats of the kind in question, might
adopt it with profit. l have tried it,
and this thing of cleaning hats with
acids and things of that sort is not in
/ IL. l am enthusiastic over the corn
meal plan, because had a disastrous
experience with acids, for several years
ago l lost hat l was very fond of in
that way. When l went to get 1t. af-

SIXTY YEARS A MEMBER.

Macon Telegraph: Capt. H. P. West
colt of Macon is believed to be the old
est living member of any military COM
pany in Georgia. if not in the South.
He has been a member of the Floyd
Rifles for sixty years. Capt. Westcott
was showing his friends yesterday an
invitation that was issued by the Floyd
Rifles and Macon Volunteers in 1S4S.
The invitation was to a dance, and
reads as follows: Macon Feb. Is,
1913. The proprietors of the Floyd
House, from circumstances too nu-
merous to mention having failed to
carry out their contract, the under
signed managers of the ball on the 22d

nouncing to the ladies that the oblig-
ing host of the Washington Hall has
kindly rendered his house to the lovers

to have reminded anybody of the last
apparation of Mary Stuart within the

twenty years ago the late Countess OF

the Marquis of Hamilton to allow her
to pass the night at the apartments

the murder of Rizzio took place. 1t was

MEN AND EVENTS OF TWO STATES
BRIEFLY DESCRIBED.

Atlanta Constitution: Becoming
Respondent and desperate over love
affair, Alien Glaze, negro barber,
committed suicide Monday afternoon
by cutting his throat with a razor.
Glaze committed the deed at the home
of his sweetheart. at the corner of
University avenue and Simms street.
He visited the house and it seems that
some disagreement developed between
him and the woman. He finally grew
desperate and pulling a razor drew
the keen blade across his throat.
Death ensued in about an hour after
the wound was inflicted. Glaze was
employed at the barber shop of En-
nett Campbell. at the corner of Pc
tiers and Fair streets.

Tax Agent Joseph, of the Plant Invest
ment Company appeared before the
board, and showed the injustice of the
arbitrary increase made by the tax as
SCISSOR. The board promptly corrected
the figures. Tax Assessor McFall placed
the valuation OF the property at s440,
900. The assessment is reduced 10
$500 BY an original agreement
with the Plant Investment Company,
the hotel property was taxed a nomi-
nal sum for city purposes. Several cit
liens later complained Of this. and the
property was placed on the city as
sessment rolls. The company although
conducting the hotel at a tremendous
loss, paid the taxes readily, but natur-
ally objected to an arbitrary raise of
nearly 100000.

FLORIDA.

Jesse Nichols was arrested and placed
in Jail at Tampa on Tuesday last, be-
cause the Hold Carriers Union, branch
of the International, has lost its funds.
In other words. Nichols is accused of
taking about $50 which belonged to the
union. Nichols says that a man named
Jackson was the treasurer of the
union, and a few days ago Jackson
started for Jacksonville. He counted
the money in the presence of Nichols.
and said he was going to leave IL with
his wife. Jacksons wife says that she
went to the train with her husband.
and that when she returned to the
house the money was gone. The thing
has shifted around now until the
charge rests upon Nichols, and he says
IL is q great reflection on his reputa-
ton to be charged with such a thing.
Nichols bears a good reputation here.
and many say they do not believe that
he would have taken the money.
