Dad BLOOD,

The skin is the seat of an almost end

same cause, acid and other poisons in

To have a smooth. soft Skin, free from

for short time, but cannot remove per

ALBANY BANK SUSPENDS
AFTER RUN OF A MONTH

ALBANY. Ga, Jan. 1.-THE CONNER
cial bank OF Albany did not open for bus
mess this morning and q notice posted on
the door stated the bank had suspended
payment pending action by proper author
titles.
A quiet run had been going on for one
month past and the bank was yesterday
unable to meet its checks in the clear
ing house
The banks capital was $4,000. reduced
from $4,000 and notice had been given
that II would be converted into a national
bank.
The liabilities are bills payable. SIS. 600:
deposits, Sos, II7.10. Assets are estimated at
$4,000 in bills receivable and $1,000 in real
estate.
It seems certain that depositors will be
fully paid.
The directors have applied to Judge
Spence TO have Morris Weslosky appointed
temporary receiver pending action OF the
state authorities.
The bank was organized In 1858. The
banks officers are; T. NJ. Carter. presi-
dent: s. G. Turner cashier, and T. NJ.

While the failure OF the Commercial
bank has created considerable excitement
here, there is a general feeling that the
depositors viii be paid dollar for dollar.
The honesty and integrity Of the officers
OF the bank are not questioned. and this
has done a great deal to ease the situa-
ton.

LOWRY IS FIGHTING
A PIP OINTMENT
OF NEGROES
ATLANTA BANKER SEES PREsI-
DENT ROOSEVELT IN THE IN
TEREsT OF WHITE MEN
FOR OFFICES.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 17.-Colonel Rob-
ert ]. Lowry, banker noted host and So
cial prince in Georgia, is assuming a new
and altogether interesting role In Wash
ington. -4
He is on the bridge of the Georgia Re
publican ship just now and is directing,
to a great extent, the journey of that
vessel through the narrows of office seek
ing.
He dined with the president some time
ago and incidentally discussed the pres
ent force OF government office holders In
Georgia. Now he Is here with a list of
new men whom he thinks are good for
the president to appoint to the jobs.
Colonel Lowry is urging the appoint
ment of NJ. o. Markham, of Atlanta, to
the office of surveyor Of customs for At
lanta, a place now held by c. c. VIM
bish. The application Of Mr. Markham
is on file in the treasury department and
Colonel Lowry has been there to look at
ter the interests OF the applicant.
He has made a fight for the removal OF
Collector Devaux, at the port of Savan-
nah, and it is believed in official circles
that he viii not only succeed in ousting
Devaux, but can have the pleasure of
naming the successor.
II Is said that he has talked with the
president concerning the appointment of
Athens. It is significant that Colonel Low
~ called at the white house on the day
that Morton's name was placed on the
list for senate confirmation and then sud-
denly withdrawn by the president.
In view OF these facts it is recognized
here that President Roosevelt is carrying
into Georgia his policy Of instituting a
new brand of Republicanism throughout
the south and that Colonel Lowry is spon-
sor for the states new brand. This es-
tablished, IL goes without saying that ne
gro office holding in Georgia will soon be
a thing of the past.
Whether the nations executive will
agree to this will be indicated by the ac-
tion taken on sonic Of the applications
which Lowry is now urging.
While IL is given out that the Atlanta
banker is here for the purpose Of looking
after the interests of the bill in congress
to pay the Markham estate for property
destroyed by Sherman during the civil
war, IL is well known that he is decidedly
more active in the political branch of his
mission at this particular time.

STRAIN TOO GREAT
FOR MRS. ROOSEVELT

WASHINGTON. Jan. 16.-The strenuous
social life at the white house has been
modified at the command of DR.. Rixey.
On his earnest advice Mrs. Roosevelt has
eliminated for the present the semi-week-
ly receptions and teas. No change has
been made as to the official functions,
which will continue to be numerous Mrs.
Roosevelt is beginning to show the eff
fects of the great strain she has been
under. But for the trip down the river
just before New Years her strength pro-
badly would have given way.
The clerical force at the white house
is also tagged. the result of working ev-
cry night until l 70 o'clock. Secretary
Cortelyou often remains at his desk as
late. The president has urged him to
enlarge the clerical force. but there is no
room. the desks now being jammed to-
gether. Three Of the assistants are now
i'll from overwork and Mrs. Roosevelt
has sent for DR.. Rixey to attend them all.
All the semi-public functions are an
nounced I'm handwritten notes. This, with
the preparation of thousands of invita-
tiOns, is a crushing task.

DRIVEN INSANE BY
QUARREL WITH WIFE

PENSACOLA, Fla, Jan. 16.-George w.
Adams, a young white married gentle
man, of Pensacola, was this morning car
ried under heavy guard to the Asylum
for the Insane at Chattahoochee, having
been adjudged insane yesterday.
Adams case is a deplorable one. He
was a plumber and had a nice home. but
ten days ago he and his wife separated;
the separation preyed upon his mind, but
he continued at his daily duties until
Tuesday night. when his reason left him
suddenly and he Jumped from the second
floor of his boarding place to the ground,
about 20 feet.
He did not appear to hurt himself. He
had retired but 10 minutes previously and
he came through the window clad only
in his night clothes
After he struck the ground he con-
tinued to run down the street until inter-
cepted by Policeman Humphreys, when
with combined effort of six men, he was
finally Jailed. He raved terrible all OF yes
terday, never for a moment being silent.
He would tear away his clothes and the
only way he could be made to desist was
to promise to let him see his little son,
from whom he had been separated.

IL seems that Benson was indicted and
convicted on purely circumstantial evil

men who appeared I'm court against him, a
ring of FIVE men who swOre the same
thing. are the real guilty parties and that
they are now going TO be brought to

FORT SMITH, Ark, Jan. 16.-The
southbound Kansas City southern pas

O'Clock, half a mile north of Spiro, 1. T.,
by seven masked men.
The express and mail cars were entered.
The local safe. in the express car was
opened, but nothing secured from 1t.
The robbers tried to open the through
safe but failed
Then they rined the mail car and. it is
said, secured a quantity Of registered
mail.
The scene of the robbery is 10 miles from
Fort Smith. g.,
A report today from there says United
States marshals are securing the coun-
try in search of the robbers.
Three SUSPECTS, miners, have been ar
rested and taken to Poteau, /. i.
Railroad and express officials decline
to state how much booty was secured.
It is stated, however, that the robbers
got away with $1,000
Spiro is small station near the Ar
kansas river, in Indian Territory. 1t is
a desolate place In the timber, which at
fords good cover for robbery and which
will undoubtedly aid the robbers in escap-
ing. Poteau, the second station south of
Speiro was the scene of train hold-up
on previous occasion.

IRON TRADE REVIEW
TALKS OF MARKETS
SALE OF $4,000 TONS OF BESSIE
MER PIG IRON FEATURE
OF THE WEEK.

CLEVELAND, o., Jan. 16.-The Iron
Trade Review this week will say:
- Sales of 125,000 tons Of Bessemer pig iron
for. delivery largely In the present quar-
ter OF the year are the feature of the
week The bulk of this iron was taken by
the United States steel corporation at
S1575 at Valley Furnace, or $3.50, Pitts
burg. other steel makers were also in the
market. paying in some instances SIG at
the furnace and on smaller lots as high
as Sl6.a has been paid. The United States
Steel corporation took all the iron offered
by the Associated Bessemer furnaces for
the second quarter and other purchases
were made from outside interests. The sit
uation in respect to this metal is thus
very firm, with every indication of higher
prices.
The cutting of production due to the
coke shortage has compelled importations.
and these are expected to increase in the
next few months.
A large amount of German Bessemer
iron mas been sold for this country and
among recent sales IN England was one
of 1000 tons of a West Coast Bessemer
for delivery in the United States. A recent
round sale of German spiegeleisen for ex-
port to the United States indicates that
our steel makers have not been able to
supply their wants from such Of their fur
naces as ordinarily run on spiegel. The
import movement In pig iron is apparent
in the November statistics of the treas
ury department, which reported 1883 tons
brought I'm that month, against 1881
tons IN November, 1900a.r
The importation of steel is also expect
ed to grow steadily in the coming months.
Independent sheet, wire and tube mills
will be compelled to seek foreign markets
in view OF the announced inability of steel
corporation plants to furnish steel In the
next six months except to customers hav-
ing long time contracts
It is understood that the small importa-
ton of German steel for central and west
ern plants a few weeks ago would be fol-
lowed by the bringing in of large lots
from the. same source. Apart from the
sales of Bessemer iron noted above. the
important development of the week is
the improved movement of coke to the
furnaces.
