SIMPLY BREATHE 1T
A Few Minutes Use of Hyomei Four
Times n Day. Cures Catarrh.

AAhtca an Dhs
The pleasantest. most convenient
and the only scientific method for the
treatment and cure of catarrh is Hyo-
mel. Simply put twenty drops of Hy-
omei in the inhaler that comes with
every package and then breathe it for
a few minutes four times a day.
1t seems remarkable that so simple
a way Of treating catarrh will effect
a cure, but the most important discov-
cries Of science have always been the
simplest BY breathing Hyomei in
this way every particle of air that en-
tiers the air passages OF the throat and
head and goes into the lungs is charged
with healing balsam that kills the
germs and bacilli Of catarrh and
soothes and allays all irritation.
The FIRST days use OF Hyomei win

short time there viii be no further

COMPLAINTS ABOUT
STONE STREET.
Resident Charges That 1t Is Resort
of Undesirable People.


The Morning News is in receipt of
a letter from a lady, a resident of
Stone street, who makes complaint of
some of the conditions that, she claims,
now exist in that neighborhood, and
makes suggestions relative to some i'm
provements which would, in her opin-
ion, benefit not only the residents of
the neighborhood but the city.
She states that she is a widow and
the mother of five children and that
she makes her living by keeping a
boarding house; that her home. which
is at Stone and Montgomery streets,
is well located for her business but
that she suffers much disadvantage
because of the i'll repute of many of
the men and women who gather in
Stone street.
The writer complains that Stone
street is closed, at the eastern end,
and thinks that the present conditions
in the street would be improved if it
We're opened through to jefferson
street. This should be done, she says,
because of it's proximity to Liberty
street and the Union Depot "Our
business men," she continues, "are
opening streets away out which will
not be of any value for long time
and it is shameful that Stone street
is left as it is and that low classes
are allowed to gather in it. The lam
guage, fighting and pistol firing are
hard for respectable people to have to
put uD with"
As showing the disorder that OBJ
tains in the neighborhood the writer
says that her eldest daughter, who is
employed in a store, while coming home
one night was grabbed at by a loaf
err and nearly frightened to death.
Had the girl not been so near home.
the mother says, there is no telling
what might have happened to her.

CITY BREvITtES.

Col. P. A. Stovall has bought the
residence of Col. M. w. Dixon at Aber-
corn and Gwinnett streets. The price
paid is understood to be $11,500.
The meeting of the Children of the
Confederacy, which was to be held this
afternoon has been postponed on ac-
count of the illness of the regent. The
meeting will be held some time next
week.
The Woman's Christian Temperance
Union Will hold its regular amonthly
meeting this afternoon at 4 O'clock at
the home, 400 Liberty street, west. The
Mothers meeting will be held at the
same time.
The board of directresses Of the Flor
ence Crittenton Home has postponed
the meeting that was to be held this
afternoon because of the illness of Miss
M. Reid the president. The date of

nounced later.
Mr.. Nicholas Lang yesterday had
on exhibition and for sale at his store,
80 Barnard street, two handsome white
Leghorn cockerels, raised by hmself
The birds were only nine months old
and weighed, respectively, S15 and 8
pounds. They were bred from a trio
purchased by him at the late State
Fair in this city.
Another consignment of steel for the
Germania Bank building, consisting of
beams. grillage and pier caps have
arrived and will Immediately be hauled
to the site to be used as soon as need
ed. Maintaining the lines of the build
ing while laying the foundation piers
has been tedious and necessarily slow
job, and for that reason the work has
not seemed to progress as rapidly
as it was generally imagined it might.
In reality, though. much important
work has been done in the last ten
days, and as soon as the lines of the
building are established and the piers
firmly set by them more noticeable
work will be done in a very short while.

A FRANCHISE REVISION
City Authorities Will Harmonic
General Electric Co. Privileges.

In order to overcome the inconvenience
consequent upon franchises granted be-
fore the scope Of the present corpora ton
was fully established, there will soon be
submitted to the city council an ordinance
thoroly defining the privileges, of the Gem
eral Electric company, Since the COM
pany was organized it has absorbed other
companies and it is now desired to
straighten out some provisions in the
various older ranches which do not
harmonic. This is done at thi slime be-
cause the company is now spending sew
eral hundred thousand dollars in improv
ing its plant here and it is desired by the
city government to have the matter on a
definite basis. There is no charter pro-
vision eXacting a special franchise tax
and inasmuch as no other public service
corporation pays one, there has been as
yet no suggestion that such a feature be
introduced in this case.
A. M. Robertson, general manager of
the General Electric company, said to-day
that the movement originated at the city
hall as a result of communication from
the, city attorney The matter is now in
the, hands of a special committee con-
sisting, Of one alderman from each ward
and the standing committee on under
ground wires. ..--

CANNOT MANDAMUS
Horgan Cant Force Aldermen to
Issue His Sixth Street Sa-
loon License. <
Tho Doubling the Validity of the
Ordinance, Judge Elliott Re-
fuses Mandamus. -

Judge G. B. Elliott has filed an order
denying Dennis Horgan's petition for a
writ Of mandamus compelling the city
council to grant him a license for a saloon
at "a Sixth street S. The question of the
constitutionality Of the law of 1901, linn
itlng the number Of saloons in a block to
five, Is not passed upon, and there seems
to be no way to bring it into court unless
upon motion Of the city itself.
In the memorandum attached to his de-
cision, Judge Elliott says
Il have denied this petition for a writ
Of mandamus because, in my judgment
it IS sought to have the court control the
discretionary power Of the city council
There is no provision in the charter or
in the statutes of the state which directs
or requires the city council to grant a
liquor license to any particular person
The council is by the charter merely
empowered and authorized to issue
licenses. I take the rule to be that
whether license should be granted or re-
fused rests in the discretion of the city
council, and that in the exercise of this
power they act judicially and not minis
terially, and therefore their action can.
not be controlled or reviewed by manda-
mus. ! find nothing in the circumstances
of this case that removes it from the on.

It is certainly Quite safe to- affirm that
in no other European, state, not even. in
Sweden and Norway, is life and property
more secure than in Finland, says a tray
eler In the Saturday Review. The CON
fdent, matter of-fact way In which
trunks, parcels and portmanteaus are left
for hours In the public streets Of cities
without any to look, after them could
not fail to edify an Englishman or a. Bel
gian, whose probable property often, seems
to disappear by magic. .s:
In the country districts the houses are
for, the most part unbolted, unbarred and
unlocked. More than once in my excur-
sions I have come up to a house, the &C.
cupants Of which were miles away at the
time, and yet not door Of it was bolted
or barred.
Then again, 1t is no uncommon thing for
blooming girl of II, or a young married
woman, to drive alone in her cart dis
lance Of fifty or sixty miles thru dense
forests, and by the shores of gloomy lakes,
conveying the family's butter, cheese and
eggs to market in town, and then to re-
turn home alone with the proceeds.
Finnish honesty Is proverbial. In trade
the Firms, as a rule, are not only scrup-
~ulously honest, they are heroically, quiz
otically so. tradesman will tell you the
whole truth about his wares, even when
he knows perfectly we'll that by doing so
he losses a customer whom the partial
truth would have secured. u
