THE JONES CASE.
New Developments in This Matter at

New Developments In This Matter at
Columbus.
Columbus, Ga, Aug. SAN interest
Ing development in the clash between
the state and federal courts in the r.
ID. Jones case occurred to-day when an
order was received from Judge Will
liam I. Newman, United States Cir
cult Judge, restraining Receiver E. F.
Roberts, w. .. Britt & Co. and James
A. Deaton from collecting the accounts
or selling the stock of Mr.. Jones and
uirectlng that they show cause before
MN In Atlanta on September 16 why
the injunction against them prayed for
py the federal receiver w. H. McRory,
should not be made permanent. The ap-
Phcalion for an injunction filed by
receiver McRory says that on Aug
Judge Butt appointed L. r. Roberts
permanent receiver with Instructions to
sell the stock Aug. IL, although (ac-
cordlng to the petition) it was shown
TO Judge Butt on July 20 that Mr.
Jones had been adjudicated a bank
rupt in the federal courts. Receiver
McRory asked that the United States
marshal be directed to seize the stock
and that Receiver Roberts be restrain
ed from selling or distributing the fed
eral receivership. Judge Newman
passed the following order in the case:
Read and considered. Let the de-
PENDANT show cause before me in the
city of Atlanta on Monday Sept 16,
1901, why injunction should not be is
sued as prayed. In the meantime and
until the further order of the court
w. D. Britt and J.. M. Britt, partners
under the name of w. D. Britt & Co.,

receivers are restrained from selling
any of the property of r. D. Jones,
bankrupt. or collecting any of the as
sets of the said Jones, or from in any
way changing the present status of the
property The compliments in this bill
are instructed to present this order to
Hon. w. B. Butt, judge of the Superior
Courts of the Chattahoochee circuit,

ed VIM. t. Newman, United States
Judge"
The reception that Receiver McRory
met with from Judge Butt when he ap-
piled for his concurrence and APP
prevail is, perhaps, best told in the fol-
lowing entry made by Receiver Nc
Rory this afternoon on the bottom of
Judge Newman's order:
Georgia, Muscogee County-I have
this day presented the above order to
Hon. w. B. Butt of the Superior Court
of the Chattahoochee circuit, who de-
clined to either concur in, or disapprove

Rory. complainant.
Receiver E. F. Roberts said to-day:
Il have collected several hundred dol
lars of Mr. Jones' accounts to-day and
yesterday, and I am at the same old
stand. / am under Judge Butts order"
The inference was that Receiver
Roberts would continue collecting ac-
counts until Judge Butt ordered him
not to. A few days ago the burning
question was, was Receiver McRory in
contempt of the state court? Now the
live issue among local lawyers is, will
Receiver Roberts be in contempt of the
Federal courts if he proceeds with the
collections and sales?

HIGHLY IMPOLITE.
For a Man to walk With His wife
mt Atlantic City.

From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
Husbands who are versed in the ca
mons of Atlantic City etiquette are
careful not to pay too much attention
to their wives at this charmingly UNI
conventional resort by the sea.
If there's a crowd of women sitting
on the porch and your wife is among
them steer clear of your better half and
lean over some other woman's chair
and chat with her. The chances are,
anyhow, that some other married man
has already monopolized your wife.
If crowd is going out to cafe or
pier or what not don't. for pity sake,
walk with your wife. If you do the
other persons in the party will nudge
each other, say something uncompli-
mentary, shrug their shoulders, raise
their eyebrows and pity you for your
lack of manners.
The logic underlying this is thus ex-
planned by a man:
tits downright selfish in a fellow,
don't you know" he said, "for him to
monopolize his wife's attention down
here. She and he may see each other
whenever they wish, but in the social
swim the opportunity for other persons
to see her is limited. Those opportu-
mites should not be lost. They keep
the man and woman from stagnating-
keep them in touch with other persons
ideas. But. first of all reasons, it's
selfish for a man to stick to his wife
in public-and I'm glad to see that
persons are sensible down here, and
man and wife are seldom seen to-
gether."

CAPERS' APPOINTMENTS.
His Legal STAFF PIeases the People,
but Disappoints Omce-Seekers.

Charleston, S. c., Aug. 5.-United
States District Attorney John G. Ca
pers to-day announced that he had re-
appointed Mr.. B. A. Hagood his chief
assistant. Mr., Hagood is. the son of
Col. j. E. Hagood of Pickens, and is
one of the rising young young lawyers
of the state. He served as assistant dis
trict attorney during the first admins
tration of Mr.. Lathrop, and has just
completed second four years term.
He is, of course, a Republican of pro-
nounced character, and ne has always
been so, but his politics has never been
such as to render him at any time an
offensive partisan, and he has succeed
ed, in spite of his political Affiliations,
in maintaining the friendship and con-
fidence of every one who knows him.
His reappointment 20 this office will
doubtless prove satisfactory both at
home and in Washington. Though it
will cause great distress among the
host of aspirants from one end of the
state to the other who have been seek
ing the favor of Capt. Capers since 1t
was announced that he was to be Mr..
I.athrop's successor. In spite of the
fact that Capt. Capers has gone into
Office an avowed Republican 1t would
astonish number of people to know
just who has sought to go in one or the
other of the assistant attorneyships
under him.
There is a list at the United States
building here which, If published, would
cause constrenation to many so-called
"dyed-in-the-wooP' Democrats. Mem
bers of more than one of the leading
legal firms in all parts of South Caro-
lima have sought these positions. While
Capt. Capers has not made actual an
nouncement that Mr.. Ernest F. Coch-
ran of Anderson will be retained as the
second assistant district attorney, it is
generally accepted that such will be
the case. Mr.. Cochran's services un-
der Mr.. Lathrop have been entirely ac-
ceptable, and he, too, is a party man
whose claims to recognition could
scarcely be passed over lightly.

THE CARE OF GEMS.
How Jewellers Test, Polish, and Re-

store Jewels OF various sorts.
From the London Express.
The best of all jewel boxes are not
the tin-lined, velvet-covered ones in
which the jewelers. alluringly display
their wares, but alright cases simuly
lined with wool. Even in such a re-
ceptacle diamonds should be wrapped
in silversmiths' tissue paper to keep
them of exquisite brilliancy.
Diamonds, in spite of their hardness,
must be treated with great care.
Though they can hardly be scratched,
roughly used are easily loosened
in their setting, and fall out
at the most unexpected moment.
When they are sent to be
cleaned the expert first tests
their settings, and then dips the ring
or pin repeatedly into a little eau de
cologne. A powerful magnifying glass
is used to detect any foreign bodies"

When diamonds and turquoises are
set together the most exquisite care
is taken that alcohol only is utilized
with WHITING n pur
and the diamonds, and as little mois-
ture as possible is allowed to come near
the blue stones. If a turquois has been
carelessly treated, and is turning green
from the effects of water, the cleaner
sets it to soak in stale beer, which
treatment will frequently restore the
pure azure color. But old turquoises
that are nearly green have value all
their own.
Pearls require a great deal of hui
man companionship, and that is why
they are so constantly worn by their
owners. When they are ''sick" Ito use
a technical term). they are given sun
baths, and sometimes are sunk in the
sea in perforated caskets to be re-
stored to health and lustre. Pearls
held in warm. Cry hand and drawn
slowly backward and forward through

Some women have their pearls restrung
every season, and when the owner can
not arrange to wear a fine string of
these gems at least once a fortnight
the cleaner lays them in a cup of
warm flour or lukewarm fresh milk to
keep their skins in good order Ex-

pearls they can differentiate from

has a feeling peculiar to itself.

SAVED BY ANOTHER BEAR.
One Bear Was Drowning His Mate
When "A Third Interfered.

From the Denver Republican.
But for the energetic and almost hu-
man action of one of the bears in the
cage at City Park yesterday afternoon
there would have been a death by
drowning in the colony. One of the
bears in the cage held the head of an
other under the water until the first
was nearly asphyxiated and would
probably have held the victim there
till he died had not a third bear in the
cage become alarmed at the strug-
giles of the drowning animal and rush

water barely in time to save his life.

Is lis Asserted That 1t Never stops
Until Death.

Until Death.
From the Philadelphia Saturday Even
ing Post.
The systematic examination of more
than 40, 900 pairs of human ears in Eng
land and France has resulted in some
interesting conclusions. For one thing,
il Is ascertained that the ear continues
to grow in the later decades of life;
in fact, it appears never to stop grow
ing until death. If one will take the
trouble to look around in any assem-
blage of people. as at church, he will
discover that the old folks have ears
considerably larger than those of the
middle-aged A woman who has small,
shell-lilxe ears at 20 years of age will
be very apt to possess medium sized
ears at 40 years and large ears at so.
Why ears should go on growing all
ones life, any more than noses. is a
mystery. There are a good many other
points about them that are instructive,
their shapes being markedly persistent
through heredity. An ear will be hand
ed down, so to speak, from father to
son for generation after generation
with comparatively little modification.
Some authorities on criminology assert
that criminals are very apt to possess
a peculiar kind of ear, which is recog-
nized by an expert in such matters.
There is probably nobody in the world
who has pair of ears perfectly match
ed in most people the two differ per
ceptibly not only in shape, but also
in size. Frequently they are not plac-
ed precisely alike on the head. The
age of a person may be judged with
great accuracy by the ears, which af-
ter youth is past assume an increasing
harshness of contour. A pretty wo-
man whose first youth has departed
may not show the fact in other ways.
but these telltale features will surely
tell the story of the flight OF time.
Then there is the little wrinkle that
come just in front of each ear during
the thirties-a fatal and ineradicable
sign.
Near the top of each ear, just within
the down-t turned eadge and slightly to-
ward the back, will be found, IL one
feels for it, small lump of cartilage.
This is a remnant of what was orig
inally the tip of the ear, when, ever 80
long ago, that organ in OR remote
ancestors had point to it. Most of
the apes to-day have pointed ears, but
in human beings the upper edge of
the organ has, in the course of ages.
been folded over so as to cover the
real tip.

His Friends ON IA Hot Day.
From the New York Sun.
There are storehouses in narrow
streets downtown where the dust seems
to have come to stay. In one of these
places in Dey street is a stock of iron.
The proprietor is one of the old school
merchants of New York and has not
deemed 1t necessary to keep up with
the procession. Almost at the front
door stands an old-fashioned coal
stove red with rust.
The proprietor sat in front of this
stove on one of the hottest days OF
last week with his feet on the fender.
A friend went in and asked him If he
wasn't hot enough without sitting be-
fore a recollection of heat.
II suppose said the proprietor, "you
are like everybody else who looks in
here and sees this old stove. You won
der why 1 don't have ii taken down
in summer. 1 have just been waiting
for some friend to come in here and
take crack at the dear old relic"
Thereupon, the proprietor opened the
rusty door. Inside was a cooler and
imbedded in the mashed ice was
cold bottle. Extra glasses were order
ed and there the two old friends sat
and exchanged recollections of business
in other days, forgetting that the city
was sweltering.
