SECOND AND FOURTH
IN CAMP AT GRIFFIN
Camp Northen Once More Scene of Martial
Splendor-ReguIars on March

Griffin, Ca, June 23.-After an en-
forced idleness of five years Camp
Northen is again the scene of life and
activity, enlivened by the appearance
of bright uniforms and glittering arms.
and thrilling with the martial strains
from a military band.
The change was occasioned by the
arrival to-day of the Second and
Fourth Georgia Regiments, Infantry.
Georgia State Troops, which have been
arriving all day, some coming on spe-
cial trains and other companies being
attached to regular passenger trains.
The Fourth Regiment arrived at 1870
over the Central on a special train.
Col. w. E. Wooten of Albany. post
commander, has been in the city for
several days looking after the final de-
tails of the camp, and when the COM
panies arrived everything was ready
for the soldiers, who had nothing to
do but put up their tents. The com
pany streets had been cleaned off, the
flooring for the tents laid and the
tents would have been erected but for
the fact that it is part of the mill
tary discipline and instruction.
Col Huguenin of the Second Regf-
ment came up last Sunday and Sc
lected the location of streets for his
regiment. That regiment is located on
the brow of the hill and is decidedly
the best location in camp. The Fourth
will have the advantage in getting to
the parade ground, and the officers are
we'll satisfied with their location. The
camp is in excellent condition and the
stay of the regiments promise to be
pleasant and profitable.
A company of the Sixteenth Regi-
ment, U. S. A, left Fort Mcpherson
yesterday and will march to camp.

camp equipments were shipped bv

T. Dart Walker In Leslies Weekly.
The funeral Of a sailor at sea is a
most impressive ceremony; and the
funerals OF the unfortunate young
men who were killed on these two bat
tleships were more solemn because
their deaths were so sudden and so full
of horror. Nine men of the Massachu-
sets died as the result OF a 13-inch
guns explosion. They were buried at
San Juan, Porto Rico, but before the
bodies were taken ashore the funeral
was held, as is the custom, on the
quarter deck of the ship. Excepting
on special occasions like this, officers
alone are permitted on this deck In
the presence of the admiral and other
officers, standing with barred heads,
and marines and blue Jackets, a de-
tail from each ship Of the squadron,
drawn UP in line, the caskets contain
ing the men who died were borne by
men who had been their comrades, on
TO the quarterback. A band played a
dirge a quartette of sailors sang, and
the chaplain prayed and spoke with
solemn voice OF the bravery CT those
who had suffered a death so cruel
The brawny men Of the ships of war
were standing silent, listening, their
heads bowed, their sunburned faces
motionless. But never a tear was
shed, for tears and women have no
place aboard a man-o'-war. The
bodies were taken ashore in the cap
tain's gig after the service, and rever-
emily buried.

prisoner and threw his arms around
the frightened wretch, thus protecting
him from violence.
The lawn in front Of the prison was
a sea of faces when viewed from the
porch. Whites captors became con-
WINGED that unless strategy was used,
there would be little chance of getting
their man to the spot on Prices road
where it was planned that the negro
should be burned to death. This dan
ger was overcome by a quiet order to
eXtinguish lanterns or keep them con-
cealed. In the darkness there was a
confused rush and after this no one
seemed to know where the prisoner
was.
The Scene at the Stake
At the stake Whites nerve seemed
to be good, and he held his head up
while he addressed the crowd He
made another confession, and appeal
ed to God for mercy. A strong rope
was then brought and the negro was
wrapped in it's coils from shoulders to
feet. His mouth was working while
this was going on, and he seemed to
be trying to finish his statement
The crowd was in a hurry to get
through with its gruesome task and
called out for the executioners to
hasten. After the rope had been adj
justed the negro was fastened to the
stake and the torch was applied to the
straw. The flames leaped up and lick
ed the mans bare hands. He was
held erect by one of the lynchers TN
til his clothing was burning fairly,
when he was pushed into the bed of
the fire He rolled about and his con-
tortions were terrible, but he made no
sound.
Suddenly the ropes on his legs part
ed and he sprang from the fire and
started to run. A man struck him in
the head with a piece of fence rail and
knocked him down. Willing hands
threw him again into the flames. He
rolled out several times, but was
promptly returned.
While this was going on shouts,
cheers and jibes went up from the
crowd.

King Alexander's visits to Paris were

She undoubtedly preciptated the dis

Queen Natalie, after her rupture with
both husband and son, formed curl
Gus kind of little feministe court in
Paris, to which an exclusive circle OF
second rate authors and painters were
from time to time invited. Her politi-

Of Emperor Macmillan.
Queen Draga, says a writer on the
recent tragic event in SerVia, was the
victim of her own devouring ambitions.
She had a fatal beauty. She was a
human magnet. Her eyes were violet.
her skin like alabaster Her figure was
one Of Oriental righteousness. She
could hardly read when she married
Maschin, a Servian officer and a great
match for Draga Lunjevitza. the
daughter of a cattle dealer. Yet so
great was her ambition that she actual

degenerate that he was, being the son
of Natalie and Milan. Milan was a
sort Of Caligula. 1t might all have hap
pened In the old Roman time. Draga
had brains. She was diplomatic, but
brutally so. She lacked the refinement
that education might have given. Had
she been cultured she would have
known how to restrain her tremendous
vanity and ambition. She would have
worked differently. The bogus baby
plot was the outcome of a very vulgar
mind. 1t was a cheap paper backed
novel plot. Cleopatra would have
managed that sort of thing differently.
Draga depended too absolutely on her
mere animal beauty. When that be-

former is perhaps weakened, but by
no means destroyed. Had she been as
clever as Natalie she would have made
the army ador her, and then, indeed,
her throne would have been firm.

Husbands Must Perform Domestic
Duties-One Night Out Per Week.
From the Baltimore American.
Chicago, June 21.-Just because one
husband was late in getting home last
night SO other husbands in South Chi
cago will have to pay the penalty. To-
right sixty women in that Industrious
section of the city organized THE
Housewives and Housekeepers' Union"
and framed a set of rules which their
helpmates will be expected to observe.
Mrs. Carrie Hoyt was responsible for
the union. She is one of the officers of
a local chapter Of the Eastern Lodge
and she was late in reaching the hall.
The chairwoman chided her.
"Well, 1 don't care said Mrs. Hoyt.
Here I've been Shaving all day and
had dinner ready and then Fred never
got home until pretty near o'clock.
I'm sick and Disguised to think that a
man can run around all day and let
his wife work herself to death"
Overcome with her emotions, Mrs.
Hoyt dropped into a chair sobbing,
while great confusion reigned in the
hall Mrs. A. B. Booker got the floor.
u move we adjourn this meeting
and that we meet later in Beck's Hall
with all our friends and organize to
protect the housewife" she said. Both
motions were carried without dissent
and thirty minutes later the Womens
Congress was opened by Mrs. Booker
who assumed the leadership.
1.-THE first thing we want is a set of
rules" she declared.
Now the first thing to do is to fix
a schedule. l am willing to be gen
erous, and 1 say that we fix the limit
of working hours for a day at 12."
"But l can't get half through my
work in that time said Mrs. Hol-
comb.
"Then hire a girl and make your
husband pay her. If he won't lido that
make him wipe the dishes three nights
a week. II will do him good. But if
he refuses hire a girl by all means.

Booker. sis the club. We must keep our

st. Louis, June 23.-Two women, one
white and the other colored, were as
saulted and left for dead about three
and a half miles east of East ST. Louis
this afternoon, and a posse is looking
for a negro described by one of his
victims. If he should be captured it
is believed there will be a lynching.
One of the victims. Annie Green, coll
ored, aged rs, was dubbed about the
head, her skull fractured and left arm
broken. She was evidently the first
victim of the man, who later appeared
at the home of John Bruno, a farmer
living between East St. Louis and
Belleville, and committed the second
crime.
A brother of Miss Flora Bruno re-
turned home and found his sister lying
on her bed in an unconscious condition.
Her skull was fractured, both arms
were broken and she was suffering
from other injuries. The young wom-
an had been at home alone during the
afternoon.
