AN ODD CAVALCADE.
Gold Laced Rider Divides HOnOrS
With the President.

Usually President Roosevelt can ride
from one end of Pennsylvania avenue,
in Washington, to the other without
awakening the least curiosity from the
passing public since they are so accus-
toned to seeing him mounted for rid
ing, says the New York Times. How
ever he unconsciously attracted
great deal of attention as he headed
curious cavalcade coming down Penn
sylvania avenue the other day.
First was the president returning
from a ride in the country. He was
followed by Governor General Wood,
his house guest. Behind General Wood
came the orderly who always rides
with the president, and after him came
a glittering individual mistaken for
newly arrived dignitary from some for
eign country where gold lace and scar
let coats are worn by others than the
Marine band. Gold braid almost COW
cred his crimson jacket, hat as glori-
GUS sat upon his head. and glitterlng
sword swung from his side. Evidently
the president was taking another rep
resentative of a faraway country for
one of his strenuous rides. People
halted along the walk to gaze upon the
gay individual, who gazed in vulgar
curiosity after the president.
The party turned into the White
House grounds, the president first, fol-
lowed by General Wood. then the or
derby. The scarlet coated rider stop
ped and looked up the driveway, but
did not enter. The people took 1t for
granted that the president had forgot
ten his guest and walked along to take
a closer view of his majesty. Just
then he set a pair Of clumsy heels into
his horse and rode slouchily down the
avenue, leaving the people to discover
that they had been following an adVer-
tisement for a new cigarette just come
to town.

THE PLATFORM OF GEORGIA DEMOCRATS.
Party Principles Declared the Recent Convention Tn
Temperance Plank Says That Question Is Moral One

| the administration of these laws in
such spirit of fairness as will pro
tect and foster the inaerests which are
already in it and encourage the estab
lishment of new enterprises, thereby
atfording larger and more extended
fields of industry for our citizens.
We do not believe the cause of tenn
perance should be made a political H.
sue in this state. The best interests
of the people, as well as the further
ance of that cause, demand the COM
plete separation of the question from
personal and party politics. We ap'
prove the wisdom and safety of the
non partisan policy which character
ICES our present legislation upon this
subject, and commend the same to the
people of the state.
We recommend such national legis-
lation as will confer upon the inter
state commerce commission power to
make just and reasonable railroad
rates and charges on interstate ship
ments.
We cordially commend our United
States senators and members of the
house of representatives. in congress
for their able and patriotic services,
and we especially approve their course
in opposition to trusts, in opposition
to colonial policy and in opposition to
the ship subsidy bill.
We urge that every article of COM
merce controlled by a trust shall be
placed on the free list, and all tariff
duties shall be removed therefrom.
Believing in the correctness of the
principles and policies outlined above
and with the full assurance that the
candidates presented by this conven-
tion to the people of Georgia are in
every way worthy of their confidence
and support, we most cordially invite
all voters, irrespective of past party
affiliations, to join US in carrying these
principles and policies into execution
and unanimously electing our nom1'
nees.

BORROWING ONE CENT.
Men of Large Fortune Are Often
Short of Pocket Change.

A man of large fortune is not infre-
quently caught short of pocket change,
saws Victor Smith in the New York
Press. l have known John d. Rookie
Teller to borrow five cents for car fare,
and it is no uncommon thing for Uncle
Russell Sage to be "broke." The 9TH
err evening a man of no small promi-
nence in the community found himself
at Thirty-fourUh street and Sixth ave-
nue. with only four cents in his clothes,
aud he was in hurry to go home on
the upper West Side. Not caring to
have check cashed at bar or hotel,
and feeling delicacy in approaching
a stranger on SO trivial a matter, he
appealed to a crippled newsboy, who
plies his trade at the foot of the ele-
waited stairs, for the loan of a cent.
'Sure!" exclaimed the capitalist,
hauling out fstful of coins. won't
you help yourself. What good will a
penny do a gentleman the likes OF
you:' The gentleman took one cent
and rode home. The next afternoon
he stepped Off the train at Thirty
fourth street and slipped 81 cents into
the boys hand. "But what fur" said
the cripple. Interest, replied the
borrower. "The cent you lent me and
a half dollar interest. Awfully obllg-
ed" Just one touch of nature.

GO TO SEA IN COFFINS.
Club Formed to Sail Caskets of a
Vanished Factory.

An aquatic club with feet of COT
fins for boats is the newest organiza-
ton in Shelburne Falls, Mass, says
the New York World. The collins,
which are made Of wood and are tin
lined, are reminders of coffin manu-
factory to which citizens were invited
to subscribe two years ago.
The concern recently left town, first
disposing of sundry souvenirs of its

one discovered the nautical qualities
of the collins, and the formation of Il
boat club, the first in the history of
the town, followed.

MAY COLOR THE SUNSETS.
Effect of Volcanic Dust Likely to
Be Seen in the Summer.

Director Oliver L. Fassig of the
baltimore Weather Bureau was asked
last night whether or not the volcanic
eruptions in the West Indies and in
Central and South America could have
any effects upon the air currents in
this latitude, says the Philadelphia
Sun. He replied:
'Not in the slightest. The air cur
rents would be disturbed only within a
radius of few hundred miles. The
lowering weather in this section
during the last day or two has been
nothing but usual spring weather, and
there have been no atmospheric dis
turbances out of the ordinary.

canic eruptions now going on is d sea.
son of brilliant sunsets during the
coming summer. How long before
these sets begin to occur it is impossi-
BILE to say The air currents move
around the earth spirally and the
wind does not blow steadily from Mar
Unique in this direction. Hence it
may be weeks or months before the
sunsets are seen in Baltimore. For a
year after the great Krakatoa disaster
the sunsets were to be seen.
"These magnificent displays are
due to the great increase of the num-
Der of dust particles in the air, with
consequent greater ditfraction of the
suns rays as the sun nears the hori-
zon. The sunset colors ordinarily OBJ
served are generally those at the lower
end of the spectrum, the reds and
yellows predominating. The same
is true in the case of sunsets af-
fected by volcanic dust, but in these
the cOlors are more distinct. 1t is
hard to explain the exact difference,
but there should be no trouble in re-
cognizing the sunsets which may be
expected to follow the eruptions in
Martinique and ST. Vincent.

the exact locality of the magnetic south
pole. and it was while that ship lay fixed

Sir James Clark Ross reached a position
where the dipping needle was only DETECTED

sition, but the question has been raised
whether the magnetic pole is actually only
d point. or whether the popularity OF the
needle assuming a vertical position extends
over large area. and, further. whether
the magnetic pole changes it's position.
With the object of solving these two oues-
tons. Captain Amundsen will sail in the
spring OF 1903. The Gjoea is to be fitted
with petroleum engine. and will carry A
crew of seven men. A travelling magnetic
meter Is under construction at the Deutsche
Seewarte. and will resemble that used on
board the Fran. A dipping needle is beire
constructed In London. and will be exam
med at the observatory of the National
Physical Laboratory. 1t Is proposed to take
magnetic observations as frequently as
practicable, to leave the ship either at Mat
ty Island or King William Land, and as

COTTON AND LUMBER.
Statistics Furnished in Census Bulle
tins Issued Yesterday.

A bulletin Issued yesterday from the cen
sus bureau on the amount of cotton ginnad
in the United States during the seasons of
1899. 1900 and 1901, indicates that the crop
OF 1899 was reported at 9,645. 9I4 commercial
bales, that of 1900 at 10 Is6, las bales and
that of 1901 at 9.a54.a45 bales The crop
of 1901 exceeded that OF 1899 by 3nS97l
commercial bales. while the crop of 1900
exceeded that OF the preceding year by $40
ia bales.
A remarkable fiuctuatiou is noted la the
cotton crop of Texas for the three, Years
named. In 1899 the state produced -
per cent of the ccuntry's crop: i'm 1000 "a
pei cent, being one-fourth OF the worlds
crop for that year, while in 1901 that state
grew only a6.1 per cent of this country's
production.
The active ginnertes in the Emitted States
were 29,6eo in 1899, 2921i in 1900 and 29.25i
in 1901.
The sea island cotton crop of 1870 was
s!A5 bales less than that of 1899. the loss
beng practically confined to Florida and
Georgia, where losses of BIZ. and !. 30;
