From Wealth to Poverty.
A pathetic case came to light when
John D. Howard, Y years old, for
merly a man of wealth and position,
but now an outcast and hopeless par
a1ytic was taken to the hospital for
the incurables, where he will spend his
few remaining days. He told the story
of how he had been cast off by his
family when he lost his wealth, and
had since been a wanderer. He asked
permission to sit down on a veranda
at No. 3 Savannah street, and while
there, was taken desperately i'll and
sent to the hospital by the police. He
asked that his daughters, who live In
Alabama, be notified when he died.
Agreed Upon the Charter,
A unanimous report was made on a
proposed new charter for Atlanta by a
committee of the Charter Revision
Committee to-day, and it begins to
look now as if two factions, lined up
on either side of the charter PROPOSE
ton, are about to get together In
this report several important changes
in the proposed charter, now pending
before the General Assembly were de-
cided on, and otherwise it was recon-
mended that the charter, as prepared
by the committee of forty-nine, be
adopted.
If this report goes through Atlanta
will get a new charter at the coming
session of the Legislature.

At meeting of the Southern Inter
state Fair Association to-day, e. c.
Peters was elected president to sue
coed H. H. Cabaniss, who has moved
to Augusta. The usual committees were
appointed and instructed to go ahead
with preparations for a fair in the
