Appendicitis has been a back number for so long that even the ieeman can have it, and now if you have not brain flag, or the germ of idleness in your system you are not ultra.
 Atlanta policemen are looking sour when anybody is around and are congrat- ulating themselves in secret because of a recent agitation which has reached the ears of the city council. Some wise chem- ist has informed that august body that whisky sold in the purlieus of Decatur street and even within the shadow of the Piedmont is vile enough to make a man who partakes of it commit the most hein- ous crimes. Therefore it has been pro- posed that the policemen satisfy them selves of it's quality by drinking a little in each saloon and sending samples to chemists to be analysed. So far no de- murrer has been heard and none of tho force are making their wills in prepara- tion for being posioned by the liquor they will have to test In fact, it is ru- mored that numerous applications for po- sitions have been recently received. which augurs that there must be some unusual attraction. Atlanta "coppers" are now ideally placed. What more could be de- sired? Heretofore they have had the privilege of lifting from Italian fruit ven ders and cheap restaurant keepers when- ever so disposed, but free drinks have been denied them. Now this great desid- eratum has been vouchsafed and it is hard to see what more they want. Yet people are so hard to please nowadays that it would not be at all surprising to hear that the Atlanta force is making a strong pull for substitutes every night in the week and automobiles in which to patrol their beats
 Kaiser William is busily engaged in de- signing cup to offer for a trophy in the transatlantic yacht race. Since it is to be product of royal brains there can be no doubt that it will be some- thing very handsome, for the emperor never allows himself to make a failure if it is possible to prevent such damage to his pride. There are too many men of brains about him who are glad to of- fer advice and keep silent when plaudits are being delivered, but it is merely com fortable to know that he is not alone in his vast endeavors. The principal fea- ture of the cup is the effect that it is prize for the winner in a race across the Atlantic. Such a contest promises to be far more picturesque and interesting than any held previously and is a great improvement over the coastwise race, even thought the latter is pretty enough for mortal eyes.
 New York dressmakers are giving lots of trouble to handsomely gowned women who throng Madison Square garden at the horse show. No one ever yet heard of a woman objecting to having her clothes stared at if it is mere matter of admiration but the fault of the dress makers is that their designs are purely mercenary. They are gazing for the purpose of getting dots that will be of advantage to them in supplying their customers. In that case there is a possi- bility that two women may have the same kind of clothes To the feminine mind such a state of affairs is horrible to contemplate and as a result great howl has ascendeo to the electric lighted skies P. c.

Columbus, o., Sept. 30.-What seems
to be conclusive evidence of combine
between the Hooking Valley and the
Toledo & Ohio Central railways and
the coal interests of the great Hooking
valley field was produced by an inde-
pendent operator here today in the
shape of circular issued by Henry
Fisk e. Sons, New York brokers.
The circular of Fisk & Sons is is
sued in furtherance of the sale OF
s2,75O,0OO bonds of the Continental
Coal company. The circular states
these bonds are guaranteed by the
Hooking Valley and Toledo & Ohio
Central railways, and that all the stock
of the Continental company is held
by J. P. Morgan G. Co.. as trustees.
Morgan & Co. also control the two
railways named. This evidence is TAX
en- as conclusive proof of the charge
by Independent operators that the rail
roads form the real coal trust and shut
out the independent companies by
finding excuses for not furnishing
them with enough cars to hurt the

TWICE TOLD TALES
THAT DIDN'T 7 AGREE
Court Held That Forekno owl e dqe
OF Wife's Character Was
Bar to Divorce In
Sweeney Case.

The divorce case of Clyde C. Sweaney
against Caroline A. Sweaney was pass
ed upon by Judge Amber Tuesday af-
ternoon. 1t had been tried before him
at the heels of the last term of court
before Judge Amber and at a previous
term Judge Harter had refused a de-
cree. The case was a peculiar one,
Sweaney pleaded the character of his
wife as reason why he should be
divorced. He claimed that she was
leading life of shame. Upon the first
hearing of the case the plaintiff stat
ed upon the witness stand that he had
married his wife out of a disreputable
house and knew her character when
he married her. This statement led
Judge Harter to refuse a divorce.
Upon a second hearing the plain
tiff decided to be wiser. He claimed
he did not know the character of the
woman and denied that he had so stat.
ed the first time. When pressed upon
this point by the court he admitted It.
Judge Amber took some time for con-
sideration and then refused to grant a
divorce for the reason that there wal
conflict of testimony and that Sweaney
having married a woman of the char
acter he claimed she was, could not
get the courts to rectify his mistake.

PEARL HUNTING
A Perm n en Mt industry at Canal
Dover--Some Good Finds
Reported.

Canal Dover, Sept. 3O.-For the last
two weeks there has been a regular
craze in this city for hunting pearls
in the Tuscarawas river. Some one
discovered that some Of the common
fresh water mussles contain pearls o.!
a fairly good quality and since then
hundreds of people have been dredging
the river with fairly good success.
The pearls found vary in size rom
the small slugs to half an inch in diam
eter and bring anywhere from 81 to
500. John e. Ross, New Philadel
phia jeweler, has the finest one, which
has been found near this place. 1t is
valued at about 500.
The pearl bearing mussles are
found about three miles above this
city. Pearl hunting bids fair to be a
permanent business here.
