 This is the age of the index and the catalogue. Such is the mass of books, newspapers. magazines and other pupil cations issued from the printing press that the task of keeping track of what has been written on various subjects pre- sents many difficulties. Its mastery has become a matter of serious study.
 College courses are now given in the art of finding one's way among books or or of Knowing how to get at what has been printed. Formerly books were caea- logued in libraries by their titles in al- phabetica. order. and number assigned arbitrarily to each one Now the label attached to the back of q book and con taining .'snelf mark reveals at a glance to the initiated the rature of the con- tents of the volume. Indexing the topics within books and magazines has also. like cataloguing. been reduced to a scien- tific basis.
 A bibliography of any subject Is list of the books and articles that treat of It. Large volumes are now devoted to bibl- ography on current questions, such as political economy or the education of wo- men. These tell little more than where to go to get the information desired on every phase of the subject. but in telling that they tell a great deal. The perfec- tion of such guidance is pernaps reached in the "bibliography Of bibliographies." of which there are already several.

buck if the race had continued, as both were tired ard the rabbit was attempting to hide in corners.
 The first race was one of the most in- terestipg, as nothing but fox terriers were allowed to enter. The little fellows ran hard, and soon had the rabbit tired. Fred Wthage's little Foxy nabhed the rabbit as he was nearing the grandstand and the men standing near ran up and saved the long cared gentleman's life.
 In the last race two young hound pup pies were slated to run, but a large grey hound standing in the bleachers could not stand the sight. and. assisted by sev- eral sports, got close to the railing. When the rabbit passed the masterless greyhound made dash for the fleet footed animal and outran him, but the rabbit turned and got away. This was the most exciting event of the day.

programme that was faultlessly carried

SO large was the congregation that
gathered for the dedicatory services
that it was found necessary to throw
open the Sunday-school annex for the
accommodation of the worshippers.
Even then there was none too much
room, as some had to stand.
The ladies of the church attended to
its decoration. Palms and other foli-
age plants were employed, and the pull
pit was empowered. The decorations
were tasteful and loaned their effective
beauty to render the services perfect.

GROVES AND LEONARD CASES.
VIII BE Argued by n. L. CoIding
Before the Supreme Court To-day.

VIII Be Argued by II. L. CoIding
Before the Supreme Court To-day.
Mr.. Robert L. Colding left last
night for Atlanta, where he will argue
two important cases before the Su-
preme Court to-day or tomorrow
These are the Groves and the Leonard
cases. They will be remembered as
having attracted considerable attention
at the time that they were tried in
close proximity of each other in the
Superior Court several weeks ago w
G. Groves, who was tried on a charge
of conspiring to rob, was given a SEN
tence of six months in Jail, twelve
months on the changing and 81, 900
fine, the limit of the law under the
recommendation of the jury Mr.
Colding demurred to the indictment.
and it is this demurrer which he will
argue before the court of last resort.
The principal ground of demurrer is
that the indictment does not allege in
tent to rob. If the demurrer is sus-
tanned, Groves will be liberated
The other case was against r. A.
Leonard, Dennis Leonard and a negro
named George Brown, they being tried
Jointly and convicted for receiving
stolen goods. The main ground of de-
murrer in this case is that the indict-
ment does not allege with sufficient
particularly the goods received. This
demurrer was argued directly before
the hearing of the case, and was over
ruled by Judge Barrow. The Leonards
and Brown are now out under bond.
Mr.. Coldi1g is confident that his de-
murrer is good. If so, the Leonards
will be released

BAKERS HAVE A GRIEVANCE.
VIII Do No More Outside baking
Nor Give Holiday Presents.


No little curiosity was aroused yes
terday by an announcement of the Boss
Bakers Association. made yesterday,
that in future the bakers will not mix
and bake, nor bake any family cakes;
will not roast or bake family dishes,
nor Will give Christmas or New Years
presents to customers.
The reason for this decision was ex-
planned by one of those interested
in the business. The trouble, he said,
is that the work of mixing and bak-
ing cakes outside of the regular trade
Is not worth while; while to bake cakes
mixed by others is always a risk to
the baker, because, not knowing the
constituents of the cake, or to be more
exact, the proportion of the constitu-
ents, he cannot regulate his oven, with
the result that often the cake is spoil
ed in the baking and the baker is ex-
pected to pay for the loss.
Another reason, and not the least
important of them, is that the bakers
are always busiest during the holidays,
just when this outside work comes in,
and in order to attend to 1t the bakers
must be kept over time, the oven be
kept hot longer than usual, and, alto
gether, so many extra arrangements
maui anu 30 inuCA extra WOTk QOne
that the Is cents received for baking
a cake is totally inadequate compen-
sation for the labor and trouble.
In regard to the giving of presents,
the same baker said it has come to be
nuisance and gains for the bakers
more i'll will than good will. This he
explained by saying that if one pres
ent is given, no matter how good the
customer to whom it is made, all other
patrons of the shop expect to receive
gift also, and if they do not, they
take away their trade.
Further, some customers, with an
eye to the main chance, divide their
patronage during the holiday season
with several bakers, often as many
as half dozen, and do so with the
object of getting a present from each.
The same baker says that, though his
business with some of the flour deal
ers amounts to maybe $1,000 a year,
the wholesaler doesn't feel it incum-
bent on him to make Christmas pres
ents, and so he doesn't see why he
himself, occupying the position of the
small dealer, should be called on to
do otherwise.

GAMBLED ALL NIGHT.
Quiet Game of "SI<in" Ended In n
Rough House.

Rough House.
An all-night card game, with liquor
in abundance, ended yesterday morn
ing in a rough house, and the four
principals were locked up at the bar
racks, where charges of gambling,
drunkenness, threatening to kill,
pointing a pistol, and various other Of
fenses of minor variety were docket
ed against the fortune seekers.
The game was in progress in house
on Perry street 1t must have been
quite an interesting affair, for the sun
rising for it's days journey, found the
four men still skinning the cards. A
dispute arose and loud language pre-
coded the whipping out of pistols. Of
ficer j. E. Brown arrived on the scene
at this juncture and took the four in
charge.
The four men are J. D. Peterson, Joe
Johnson, Ed Johnson and E. McMick-
ell, all colored. Peterson has a charge
of pointing pistol entered on the
docket against him, besides the charge
of gambling. The men will appear be-
fore the Mayor in Police Court this
morning and give their version of the
affair. When arrested they were at
variance on several salient points, each
one blaming the rough house on the
other, and unless they patch up their
differences for mutual good, it is prob
able that things will go hard with
them.

KILLED A MONSTER CAT.
Chicken Thief Found Sudden Death
nnnn-anfnrn

Chicken Thief Found Sudden Death
at BOnaVenture.
A monster wild cat. hero of a hun
dred former midnight raids, was
caught red-pawed in cemetery chick
en- house early yesterday morning. In
something less time than was required
for the proverbial shake of the lambs
tail the cat was put on a perfect equal
ity with the large majority of the per-
manent inhabitants of that section.
The SLAYER of the cat was George C.
Dotson, superintendent of Bonaventure
Cemetery, and the scene of it's death
the plot of ground just outside the SUI
perintendent's chicken house. When it
met its death the cat was amusing it
self by sticking a murderous paw in
side the door of the chicken house and
pulling out broilers.
Mr.. Dotson has rather a fondness for
chickens, and has made efforts this
season to raise a number. His success
has been interfered with considerably
however by the depredations of the
wild cats, by which a very large num-
Der of the fowls have been killed I'm
til yesterday morning just retribution
had been delayed, having probably
missed it's train.
Inc superintendent came into the
city during the evening to make his
purchases for Sunday, and while he
was absent Mrs. Dotson locked up Sc
curely in the house, heard stealthy
footsteps on the piazza. Thinking they
were those of man. she caught up
her husbands gun and fired it into the
air, with the purpose of soaring the
intruder away. The ruse was success
full, for the noise of footsteps ceased
and was heard no more.
After time Mr.. Dotson came home
and to bed, but about o'clock was
awakened by wild excitement in the
chicken house. The cluttering and
shrieking and Tapping that was in
progress indicated very certainly the
presence of something wrong, and Mr..
Dotson caught up his gun and rushed
outside to investigate.
In the bright moonlight objects were
almost as plainly visible as they are
in the day and the form of the Wild
cat became Immediately apparent A
single shot and the cat died on the
spot.
1t was a big one. The carcass was
brought in during the morning to Mr..
w. NJ Davant, vice president of the
Evergreen Cemetery Company, who
had it skinned. Removed from The
cats body, the skin measured four
feet in length, with a corresponding
width. 1t will be preserved

MURKEN A SUICIDE ARTIST
Will BE Tried by Mayor for Firing
n Pistol in the Street

n Pistol in the Street.
An interesting case will come up be-
fore Mayor Myers in Police Court this
morning, when II. Murken is tried on
charge Of shooting a pistol in the
street. Murken created considerable
excitement on Broughton street Satur-
day night when he gave a most APP
proved imitation of a man committing
suicide. The story of the sham suicide
was published in the Morning News.
Shortly before the farce was enacted,
Murken had had an alteration with a
soldier at the Royal Music Hall. At
that time it is said, he drew his re-
volver and threatened to shoot his man,
but friends wrested the weapon from
him, and after quieting affairs gave
1t back to him. Murken is the sort of
man to make good a threat to shoot
1t was he who shot a man named But
Ter in the court house square on cleo
ton day, last May.
Not only his performance on Satur-
day night, but likewise his actions on
that occasion demonstrated that he is
fond of the spectacular. After being
arrested and placed in the patrol
wagon. after he had shot Butler, he
stood up and cheered Justify, waving
his hat as he did so, and as the wagon
drove off, shrieked defiance at the
crowd that had gathered at the Came
we'll box.
1t is doubtful If there will be any re-
hearsal of the play on Saturday night
at the trial this morning. There is no
disputing the fact that Murken shot
the pistol in the street, and he is held
on no other charge, it being no refrac-
ton of municipal or state law to COM
init suicide, or to fake one.
