MUST INSPECT ALL OILS.

Attorney General Wright So De-
cides in savannah Grocery Com
pan! Case.
Atlanta, Feb. 2S.-At the instance OF
the Department of Agriculture Attor-
ney General Boykin Wright has just
rendered an important decision affect
ing the inspections of oils in Georgia.
The case was one involving the SaVan-
nah Grocery Company of Savannah.
This company had a lot of oil shipped
TO Savannah from Baltimore, Md, in
bulk. The oil was not shipped for use
in the state, or at least part of it was
rot, as a number of barrels were
transferred directly to another vessel
for shipment to Bermuda. NOtwith-
standing this Oil Inspector r. M Mar
tin at Savannah held that the oil once
brought to Georgia was subject to the
inspection laws of the state, and he
insisted on inspecting it. The Savan-
nah Grocery Company objected, and
took the matter up with the Agricul-
tural Department which sustained its
inspector at Savannah. The matter
was at once referred to Attorney Cen
eral Wright, and he rendered a decis-
ion to-day. holding that the oil would
have to be inspected. This makes it
g settled proposition, therefore that all
oil coming into Georgia, whether for
use in this state or not is subject to
inspection by the state authorities.

AN ODD MILLIONAIRE,
Only Trouble He Had Was Fear He
Couldn't Spend His Income.

From the New York World.
The most remarkable millionaire In
America is dead.
With an income of $12, 900 a month.
the chief concern of John Tediman.
the eccentric foreigner who settled in
Llamo, Texas, was that he should not
be able to spend every cent of it, And
the only occasion on which his friends
ever saw this interesting sepndthrift
angry was when he discovered that his
income had been suddenly multiplied
by six. He did not see how he could
dispose of it.
During the first year of his career
Tediman spent $4,000 a month, besides
more than 100000 that he invested in
lands, buildings and cattle. He ordered
beer by the carload and had it freight
ed TO his ranch in ice wagons especially
constructed for the purpose. faith
full servant followed him from place to
place, never offering the slightest pro-
test against his most extravaganza
capers.
When in town he changed his cloth
ing three or four times a day, and
he would often go in the same barber
shop four or five times in succession
in the course of few hours and take
bath and a shave, never failing to
leave handful of silver or gold pieces
with the tonsorial artist.
Frequently he would arouse a barber
at midnight for the purpose of taking
bath and perhaps a nocturnal shave.
He had a horror of small coins, and
when he threw down a piece of money
or a bill he meant for that to pay for
whatever he had purchased, and under
no circumstances would he take
change.
Though making no pretensions to en-
ployment of any kind he was always
in a hurry. and never without a ciga-
rette between his teeth. Owing to a
singular habit he had of never smoking
more than one cigarette from the same
box a crowd of little boys followed him
from place to place to gather the frag-
rant little packages that he strewed
upon the floor and the pavement about
his feet. When he wanted to smoke he
would hand a silver dollar to the first
little boy whose face pleased his fancy
and send him after a box of cigarettes.
The fortunate youth always got 50
cents for his trouble.
Upon one occasion, while at Austin,
he cabed to some member of his fam
lily in Europe for "one or two dogs -
Soon afterwarG he was notified that rs
dogs had been shipped to HIM and that
the remainder would be forwarded as
soon as they could be collected. Through
some error of his own or the cable OPP
orator the message read lone or two
hundred" when it reached Europe.
OF course, such a man soon becomes
well known, and he was often grievous-
ly imposed upon by worthless charac-
ters who took advantage of his LIBERAL
ity. He would bow to a drayman with
as much politeness-as he would to a
cattle king He was fond of children
and pretty girls. They all knew him
and they were not afraid of him. He
frequently threw a handful of silver
among crowd of school children as
they ran through the street.
Whenever anything pleased him, no
matter what il was, a horse or a steam
boat, he would certainly buy it IL the

Not Much of an Epicure.
From LONDON M. al. 2.


Emperor Francis Joseph of Austria
is very plain in his tastes and habits
At 6 O'Clock in the morning he takes
his breakfast, consisting of some cold
meat, coffee and fresh made bread and
cake. Between u and l o'clock he
takes his dejeuner, two dishes of meat
and some ordinary pastry. Dinner Is
served at 6 o'clock sharp. All his
meals are served in his library at his
writing desk. Not even a tablecloth
is spread. His personal valet on duty
receives the dishes in an antechamber
on large tray and puts the tray be-
fore the Emperor on his desk.
Very often the Emperor takes a
spoonful of soup between two sigma
lures. He is very busy man. With
the meal the menu for next days din
ner is sent up ana laid before the
Emperor. 1t contains two soups, pat
ties, fish, two entrees, two roasts, two
desserts pastry, cheese, fruit, etc,
and the Emperor with a blue pencil
crosses off whatever ne does not want.
The Emperor does not care for wine.
Ee prefers a glass of beer. Nor does
he indulge in expensive Havana
cigars. A plain cigar long and thin,
with a straw running through 1t, Is
his favorite smoke These cigars cost
only 5 lkreuzer-that is, about two
pence apiece.

A CAUSE OF HEADACHE.
One Very Common Cause Generally
Overlooked.

Headache is a symptom, an indica-
ton of arrangement or disease in some
organ, and the cause of the headache
is difficult to locate because so many
diseases have headache as a prominent
symptom; arrangement of the stom-
ach and liver, heart trouble, kidney
diseases, lung trouble, eye strain or i'll
fitting glasses, all produce headaches,
and IL we could always locate the or
gan which is at fault the cure of obsti-
nate headaches would be a much SIM
pier matter.
However, for that form of headache
called frontal headache, pain back of
the eyes and in forehead, the cause is
now known to be catarrh of the head
and throat: when the headache is To-
Gated IN back of head and neck it is
often caused from catarrh of the stom-
ach or liver.
At any rate catarrh is the most COM
mon cause of such headaches and the
cure OF the catarrh causes a prompt
disappearance of the headaches.
There is at present no treatment for
catarrh so convenient and effective as
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, a new inter-
nal remedy in tablet form, composed of
antiseptics like eucalyptol guaiacol and
blood root which act upon the blood
and cause the elimination of the ca
tarrhal poison from the system through
the natural chanenls.

Miss Cora Ainslep, a prominent
school teacher in one of our normal
schools, speaks of her experience with
catarrhal headaches and eulogizes
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets as cure for
them. She says: II suffered daily from
severe frontal headache and pain in
and back of the eyes. at times so In
tensely as to incapacitate me in my
daily duties. l had suffered from ca
tarrh. more or less. for years, but new
or thought it was the cause of my head
aches, but finally became convinced
that such was the case because the
headaches were always worse whenever
/ had a cold or fresh attack of catarrh.
'Stuart's Catarrh Tablets were highly
recommended to me as a safe ana pleas
ent catarrh cure, and after using few
fifty-Cent boxes which / procured from
my druggists 1 was surprised and de-
lighted to find that both the catarrh

From relative who came over from
Europe to adjust the dead mans af-
fairs the people of Texas only learned
that they had been associating with a
man who had been reared in a palace
with kings and princes. over the door
of his library was written in Greek:
Everything is nothing"
Tediman had many warm friends in
Texas. but the great secret of his life
was never revealed to the most init
mate of his associates. When per-
fectlY COOL which was not often. he
carried himself with lofty, princely
dignity. His thirst for beer was a
ceaseless, bewildering craze, which ne
never made the least effort to con-
troll.
In his happier moods he was wax in
the hands of his friends. and nothing
was easier than for them to induce
him to buy a gold mine, a calliope, a
steamboat or mouse trap. TO please
a comrade he would do anything hut
sully his honor or his immaculate shirt

Many simple folks regarded the man
with superstition. They actually
thought that he could transform iron
or any other metal into gold. The
truth made a very plain tale. Mr..
John Tediman-which in all probability
was not his name-had inherited an inn

had been so wisely invested that 1t
yielded princely income.

SPECIAL NOTICES.
SUWANEE SPRING.


At Camden, N. j., they were discuss
ing the death of Hon. William j.
Sewell, United States Senator from
New Jersey, when DR.. Taylor, the
family physician, in speaking of the
senator's death this afternoon. said:
HE would have probably lived many
years with diabetes had he not gone
abroad, but Carlsbad had always
helped him before. and it was there
that he went for relief again. 1t was
there that he contracted the pneu-
monia trouble, and this, with the dia-
betes he already had, resulted in A
complication that medical skill proved
unable to cope with"
Thereupon DIR. w. Fl. Morse, the
American director of the Bureau of
Materia Medica. said:
THAT meets my argument for Su-
vance Springs. I published a good
word for them five years ago, and
continue to maintain that in every
way the water is the equal of Carlsbad
or any other. The Springs are easy of
access, and the psychic influences of
change Of scenery and climate are
wonderful There are no chill winds to
cause pneumonia, and no malaria. My
advice is to send all patients with kid
ney troubles to Suwanee Springs, and
let Carlsbad take care of itself Springs
cratic in Europe, need our apprecia-
ton. and they are getting it."
