ANDREW CARNEGIE MAY
COME TO ATLANTA

Andrew Carnegie will probably visit At
lanta upon the occasion of the formal
opening of the Carnegie library. A letter
received from James Bertram, the private
secretary of the multi-millionaire steel
king, states that Mr.. Carnegie is touched
by the desire Of Atlanta to have him pres
ent upon the occasion of the opening Of
the library, and that he will do every
thing in his power to arrange his plans
so that he may be here. He goes to Dun
geness. his sister-in-law's home on Cum
berland Island, every year, and he thinks
that he will be able to come from that
section of the state to Atlanta.
The magnificent library, to which Mr..
Carnegie gave S145.0O0, has been open to
the public for several months, but the for
NAL opening of the library has been post
poned in order that Mr.. Carnegie might
make his plans for being here.
Mr.. Carnegie is at present at Slkibo Cas-
tie, his summer home, in the highlands of
Scotland, but he is soon to return to Amer
lea. He has been in Scotland for some
time, and his return to America is ex-
pected soon.

Sick and nervous headaches are amongst
the worst Ills of life The man or woman
who Is subject to headache at irregular in

misery and wretchedness that is terrible
to think OF.
Headaches as a rule. result from dis
ordered. condition of the nervous system.
Mental excitement loss of sleep. bodily
fatigue, and disordered digestion are ex-
citing causes. When the brain becomes
tired and debiitated. the whole nervous
system is weakened, and headaches result.
II the liver is sluggish. the kidneys mac
tive, and digestion deranged. headaches
invariably follow. To cure and prevent
headache, the nervous system must be
strengthened and vitalized. The most per-
sistent cases of headache, nervous feeble
ness, and sleeplessnsss, are permanently
cured by Paine's Celery Compound 1t is
.he great reeonstructsnt of the nervous

FEMALE SMUGGLER SAID
DOG WAS LITTLE BABY

LONDON, Sept. 22.-The stringent regu-
lations which prevent the importation of
dogs into the United Kingdom have been
a great trial to all lovers of dogs. and
many have been the plans to circumvent
them.
A most ingenious scheme was nipped
in the head at Calais the other day just
when II seemed about to be successful.
Among the passengers who boarded the
packet when the train from Paris ar
rived, was a man accompanied by a nurse
who carried in her arms bundle of ,dain-
ty white clothes, which by its occasional
Jerks and twitchings suggested that the
swathed baby was of a very vigorous tenn
permanent The nurse went below imme-
diately. Shortly before the boat left the
stewardess, passing through the saloon
near the nurse, experienced a sudden
shock. Peeping from beneath the dainty
garments where one would have expected
to see two little feet, clad I'm tony white
socks and shoes, were two brown paws,
and these paws were agitated to such an
extent as to suggest that their owner
found the abundant garments very un-
comfortable.
The stewardess communicated her dis
covery to the customs officials and an
amusing scene occurred. The baby turned
out to be no baby at all, but a grown pet
dog of mature years. while the nurse was
no more genuine than the baby. She
proved to be the owner Of the dog. The
woman was very much embarrassed. She
confessed she had put on a disguise with
the hope of getting her pet through the
customs at Dover. Her plan discovered,
she sent the dog, denuded of it's garments.

of Spain, Trinidad, correspondent Of The
Herald, against the action Of Great Brit
Gin in raising the British flag on the IS
land of Patos, on the ground that the
sovereignty is vested in Venezuela and not

FUNERAL or PANIC VICTIMS
OF INTEREST IN BIRMINGHAM

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Sept 22-Body af-
ter body has been shipped away and
buried in Birmingham since Saturday
morning. the result of the awful panic
in Shiloh Baptist church, colored, where
the National Baptist convention was held,
on Friday night
Yesterday there were twenty-three fu-
nerals in Birmingham suburbs, conducted
by undertakers, while twenty private fu-
nerals took place.l Thirty bodies were
shipped away from Birmingham and today
there were six or eight other bodies
buried.
There are but three unidentified bodies
left and these will have to be buried at
once.
The convention OF the Baptists is at an
end. The greater number of delegates
left yesterday for their respective homes.
While Birmingham is in no way to blame
for the catastrophe, the recollections Of
the convention in Birmingham will be
vivid in the minds of many who were in
attendance. Not a single member of the
convention has a word to say against Bir-
mingham or the people as to the manner
in which they were treated. Merchants
made liberal donations to the entertain
ment of the convention and everything
was moving along nicely until the calam-
ity took place.

from which the word flight" was trans
posed into FIRE" causing a general stam-
pede at the front entrance OF the build
ing will be tried at once. Chief Austin
promised him shortly after his appre-
hension on Saturday afternoon, that every
thing possible would be done for a speedy
trial and ali the witnesses desired by the
defendant will be sought He is charged
with disturbing public worship and af-
fray. According to the city code he can
be fined only 800 for disturbing public
worship, while for the affray the same
amount is the limit. However, 1t is not
improbable that a warrant charging dis
turbance Of public worship will be secur-
ed so that fine of $500 and six months
Imprisonment can be enacted. Ballou,
however, denies that the difficulty he had
with Hicks caused the panic and says he
has witnesses. among them Major r. r.
Wright, of the Savannah, Ca, Industrial
school. The cases against Ballou will be
closely watched. To avoid any possible
trouble and upon advice of DR.. w. r.

no effort Saturday evening to make bond.
