waste doubtless that passengers may carry
away a memento: the interiors are dusty, the
dining car service Is slow and fare unsatisfac-
tory; on a three or four hundred mile journey
your ticket is inspected about twenty times:
the roadbeds the cars, or both, are so faulty
that a fifty mile an hour gait makes the pas

here. or / might find myself grumbling without

SOLD STOLEN STAMPS.
Negro Man and Girl Arrested In Ma
con on That Charge.

MACON, Sept. 1S.-For some time the
police have been on the lookout for a
young negro girl who has been selling
postage stamps of various denomina-
tions to merchants and others.
Yesterday she was arrested in the
store while in the act of trying to sell ~
2.cent stamps for Is cents. She tried to
get away when the officer appeared on
the scene. She gave her name as Ida
Belle Jones. She said she lived with
her uncle, w. NJ. Rand, in East Macon,
and that he frequently brought stamps
to his house and that she got them out
Of shoebox under table in the room
and sold them.
According TO her statement she has
been selling stamps for more than two
months and during that time has sold
fully 800 stamps, many of which were
of the denomination of 10 cents.
Soon after the arrest of the girl, w.
NJ Rand, her uncle, was arrested at the
office of the New York Life Insurance
company, where he has been porter for
some time. and where it was his duty
to stamp the letters of the company, and
where he had full and free access to the
stamps.
The officers here think Rand has been
regularly stealing the stamps and they
were given to his niece to sell. The
New York Life company's purchase of
stamps is SO heavy per week that Rand S
stealage was not suspected.
Rand and his niece were arraigned in
the recorders court and both were COM
mitted to the city court.

with her sister, and after few words,
said:
II might as well do what came here
for. !"
Drawing knife he commenced slash
ing the woman, driving the blade five
times in her breast and once in the face.
Her sister attempted to interfere. when
Ramsey turned on her, gashing her
breast He then drove the knife blade
into her arm, breaking it off. He ran
from the house and escaped. The wounds
of the wife are considered fatal The
sister will recover.

CROWDS THRONG STREETS

Weeping Is Driven to Her Desolate
Home.
CANTON, O., Sept. 1S.-The funeral
train bearing the remains of President
Mckinley arrived at II o'clock. 1t was
met by Judge Day at the head of the
local reception committee, while assem-
bIed about the station was the entire
militia of the state Mrs. Mckinley,
weeping, was assisted from the train by
DR.. Rixey and Abner Mckinley and
conducted to carriage which was in
waiting and was then driven rapidly to
her home. The near relatives followed
her.
The remains were then lifted from
the Catafalque car and carried ON the
shoulders of the body bearers through a
gangway formed by President Roose-
Yelt and his cabinet to the waiting
hearse. The surrounding soldiers were
at present arms and bugles sounded

The president and cabinet then en-
tered carriages. They were followed by
the guard of honor, headed by Admiral
Dewey and General Miles in full uni.

The climax of great demonstrations of
way from Pittsburg began at Alliance,
Is miles from Canton. The half mast
ed flags were bordered heavily with
black and it seemed as if every man,
woman and child was at the station. A
big white streamer, 10 feet wide, was
across the main street. Lettered heav-
lily upon it were in black "We Mourn
Our Nations Dead"
The church bells were tolIing dolor-
ously. Then came the last half hours
run into Canton, where the body was to
be received. into the arms of its own
people. Mile by mile the approach was
marked by growing evidences of deep
personal affliction. Flags that had often
waved Mr.. Mckinley welcome were
now lowered in sorrow.
Farmers and country folk generally
seemed to have suspended work alto
gether; the schools were dismissed and
the entire populations were ranged
along the track in sorrowful silence.
The straining faces showed that the
people took this mournful Homecoming
as a personal bereavement which had
entered into each home, and it was as
though fathers and mothers and sisters
were Watching for glimpse of the cas-
ket that held their own loved one.

FAIR FORMALLY OPENED.
The Blue Ridge and TalIulah Falls
Exposition.

TALLULAH FALLS, Ga, Sept. l8.-The
Blue Ridge and Tallulah Falls exposi-
tion, formally opened here yesterday,
is unique in it's nature. Doubtless in
the history of expositions none have
ever been undertaken under similar
circumstances.
Tallulah Falls is a summer resort, a
small town in the heart of the noun
tains, at the terminus of the Blue Ridge
and Atlantic railway, with a normal
population of about 100 souls, yet yes.
terday it threw open the gates TO a fair
which would do credit to a city of 100
times it's population.
The exposition within itself is the be.
ginning of the awakening of one of the
richest sections of the United States.
The exhibits come largely from the
country and were transported to this
place by wagon trains. Every town and
community in Macon county, N. c.;
Habersham and Rabun counties, Ca, is
equally enthusiastic in making the ex-
position a success.
The feature of the opening day was
the entertainment of the gubernatorial
party of Georgia from Atlanta.
