Galoches, and especially sabots. are
used much by persons who work in

use them. So do some bakers, and
they are much used in laundries.

FROM 400 WITNESSES
The Coal strike Commission Has
Listened to Evidence.

Listened to Evidence.
Philadelphia. Jan. 2O-when the
Anthracite Coal Strike Commission
adjourned to-day the 4OOth witness
summoned before the arbitrator was
being examined. OF the 400. ia were
called by the striking mine workers,
l55 by the non-union men. sixty-three
by the operators and eight by the COM
mission.
The Delaware. Lackawanna and
Western Railroad Company concluded
its case to-day, and the Temple Iron
Company began the presentation of its
side of the controversy. After the coal
companies end their case, the miners
will take up some time in examining
witnesses in rebuttal.
To-days testimony did not bring out
anything that was particularly new.
There was an interchange of opinion
during the morning session between
Chairman Gray and Attorney c. S.
Darrow for the miners, on the question
of rights of union men. Mr.. Darrow
believed a union man had the right to
refuse a non-union man cars in the
mines and also had the right to use
every power within the law in dis
suading union men from working with
non-union workers. The union men,
he said, have no right to kill, assault
or SANDER any man.
Chairman Gray remarked that the
employer has his rights, too; that is,
he said, he has the right to refuse TO
employ union labor. Mr. Darrow agreed
with him

CITY COURT FOR Triton.
New Law Put Into EHect-A Great
Convenience.


Triton. Ga, Jan. 20.-For the first
time the people of Triton had the priv
ilege of voting to-day for Judge and
solicitor of the City Court authorized
by the last Legislature. Triton Is
twenty-six miles, by country road,
from Nashville, the county site of Ber-
rien, and the trouble and expense of
getting prisoners, witnesses and liti-
giants to and from County Court was
SO great as to seriously interfere with
the administration of justice. This led
to the demand here for a City Court,
with jurisdiction only over the Triton
militia district, and the act was pass
ed by the last Legislature after long,
hard fight.
Hon. F. G. Boatright, Mayor Of Tiff
ton. was a candidate for City Court
Judge to-day, and Col c. c. Hall So
licitor of the County Court of Berrien,
was a candidate for solicitor of the
City Court of Triton. There was no
opposition, and both received a fiat
tering vote.
Mayor Boatright worked long and
hard for the passage of the bill, and
Col HillSwas also an earnest worker
for the measure, sacrificing his chances
for re-appointment as County Court
solicitor for the good of his district.
Their election without opposition is
fitting tribute to their merit.
The court will be organized by the
third Wednesday in February and will
convene on each third Wednesday
thereafter.

Tallahassee, Fla, Jan. 20.-A ques-
uon, brought before the Railroad Com
mission by Gainesville, promises to be
an interesting one. For years past all
efforts to establish large wholesale
houses in the smaller towns have been
failures, on account of the discrimina-
uon in freight rates in favor of jack
Sonville. The small towns want this
discrimination stopped.
Jacksonville merchants can buy any
thlng in carload lots and receive the
penetit of special rates. None of the
smaller towns can do this. If they buy
d cargo of goods in Chicago, for in
stance, instead of being billed through
w the most direct route, the shipper
must pay the charges to Jacksonville,
plus the local rate to destination. This

TWO CHILDREN KILLED.
By the Accidental Discharge of a
Gun in the Hands of Another Child.

By the Accidental Discharge of a
Gun in the Hands of Another Child.
Hagan, Ga, Jan. 20.-One of the sad
dest tragedies ever chronicled in this
section occurred at the home of Mr..
Fate Hodges, about three miles from
here last Sunday evening, when his
two little children, about 8 and 10
years of age, were killed by the shot
from a gun in the hands of their little
cousin, who is about their age.
The little fellow who had the gun
when it fired is the son of Mr. Dan
Hodges, a brother of the father of the
unfortunate children.
The two children who were killed
were sitting in the yard opposite a
window of one of the rooms where the
other boy was playing with a shot
gun. 1t seems that he had the gun
pointed out of the window in the di-
rection in which the other children
were sitting, and it accidentally dis
charged killing the other little boy
outright, the shot taking effect in the
heart, and the little girl receiving a
shot in the shoulder and back. The
boy jumped up and ran a few feet and
fell dead, but the little girl lived I'M
til this morning, when she passed
away.

Many Wooden Shoes Made and Worn

From the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
The Philadelphia doctor who recon-
mends wooden shoes and says they can
be had at 20 cents a pair can hardly
buy them at any such price in New
York.
The sabot makers here are mostly in
the French quarters, old and new. Ga
loches, which are shoes of leather with
heavy wooden soles, are more used in
New York than the sabot proper, a shoe
all of wood. A galoche maker of the
new French quarter, who speaks almost
no English. but is amiability itself,
produces half a dozen different kinds of
such shoes.
He sells them by the dozen pairs to
the shoe dealers and other shopkeepers
of the quarter, and the wholesale price
is from $11 to SIS a dozen pairs. The
cheapest are heavy shoes with a low
upper of unvarnished stiff black leath-
er without lining. Better shoes are
lined and vanished. They retail at
prices varying between 81. so and So. so

True sabots all of wood are made by
a workman near the shop of the ga

shoe of the European peasant. The

white wood. the same that went to

Mrs. Greenleaf, an account of whose
romantic and pathetic reunion with her
former husband on his death bed, APP

Two Deaths Reported - Old Firm
Makes Way for New Ones.
Barlow, Fla, Jan. 2O.-Mr. E. f.
Mizelle died suddenly at an advanced
age at Socrum. He was in the Con-
federate army He leaves a widow
and eight children.
Mr. Tom Bryant, another of the old
settlers of Polk county, died at So
crum. He was Sc years of age, and
had been a resident of the county
thirty-five years, having come to this
section from Lake City. He was a
Confederate soldier, and served under
the command of Gen. Lee and Capt.
Robinson. He was also in the Indian
War.
Probably the oldest firm doing bust
ness in this section of country has been
dissolved, and as a result of the change
Barlow has two new firms in place of
the old one. Some months ago the firm
of Wilson & Bowers announced their
intention of retiring from business. 1t
is announced to-day that the firm is
dissolved, although the town is not to
lose any of the business men. The
firm of j. b. Bower q Co. will take
charge of the dry goods department,
and j. B. Wilson will run the furnish
ing store. Heretofore they have occu-
pied two large stores in the Stuart
block, connected by large archways.
These will be closed up and the two
firms will continue business in the
same building.
This business has a very interesting
history. 1t was formed at first by the
two older members of the business, one
of whom, Mr.. Wilson, died not very
long ago, while they lived in Tonnes
see, nearly or quite thirty years ago.
They moved here five years ago.

COLOR OF THOUGHT,
Blind Man Restored to Sight Could
Give Name of Any shade


From the New Orleans Times-Demo-
GRAFT
Speaking of the new theory relating
to the color of thought, and the va
rious moods and phases of the human
BRAIN said an observant man. re
minds me OF rather striking confirm
alton of the theory which l came
across a few years ago while watch
ing the proceedings Of a meeting OF
medical men. 1t was the report of a
rather remarkable case of blindness.
and with the ultimate cure of the man.
The man had been bora blind. He was
suHerlng with cataract. At the time
ne fell into the hands of a specialist
ne was about As years old and had
never seen anything, although he had
married, raised a family of children.
bought himself a farm and was get
ing llong well in the world. But he
could not see anything and that was
the thing that worried him more than
any other thing in the world He fin
any consented to an operation. His
eyes were operated upon, and he sud
uenIy round himself in full possession
OF the sense of sight. This brief state
nent or Facts is necessary in order to
explain the point | have In mind.
While blind the subject of the case re-
ported was able to distinguish the
more pronounced colors by the sense
OF touch, so highly was the faculty
developed. Take red, for instance. and
he could tell you almost instantly by
1eeling that the color of the thing he
touched was red. After he was oper-
ated upon the specialist made a num-
Der or very interesting experiments
with him for the purpose of testing
his sight, and to determine Just how
accurate his Impressions were, impress
sions which he had received by an
pealing to the sense of touch. One OF
the more interesting experiments was
made with the color red. The special
ist used piece of red cloth for the
purpose. Holding it out some distance
from his subject, he asked him to state
what was the color of the cloth. OF
course, the mans first impulse was to
reach for 1t, but the specialist would
not let him have it. 81 want You 10
tel me what color 1T is without
touching it, said the specialist r.
think it is red the subject said. after
slight hesitation. Are you certain il
Is red" asked the specialist. Yes. I be-
heve l am certain. was the answer.
ana then he was allowed to touch n
IN order to confirm the impression
Now, here is a case which seems to
me to support the theory that thought
- colored. How else can you account
Tor the mans ability to distinguish
the color red which be beheld for the
nrst time so far as his sense of sight
was concerned, unless the color red. or
something closely allied to it, existed
In his brain at the time? He had
heard the word red, and had asso-
GATED the sound with a certain brain
impression, and was 1t not this yerv
impression which caused him to nm
derstand the cloth before him was red
when his eyes beheld the color for
the first time? I think so, and wheth-
er the theory that thought is colored
VIII ever be of any practical beneft

pc reasonable and. in fact. an es-
tablished theory"

CITIES ARE CONTRASTING
OVER BOND ISSUES.
Important Case Is Pending in the
Supreme Court.

Important Case Is Pending in the
Supreme Court.
Atlanta, Jan. 20.-Argument was be-
gun and almost concluded before the
Supreme Court to-day in the case of
Aaron Rolf against the Mayor and
Council of Calhoun, to prevent an is
sue of $1,000 five per cent. twenty-year
bonds for school purposes on the ground
that the issue will carry the total bond
tional limit of per cent. of the taxable
property of the town.
The case is of great Importance to
municipalities and counties of the state
in that it involves bonds already is
sued and bonds which it is proposed to
issue in the near future. Calhoun has
outstanding $12,500 of per cent.
bonds now. Seven per cent. of the
taxable property of the town is $685.
100.
The principal of the bond issue, there
fore, would be considerably less than
the limit, but Mr.. Rolf claims that the
interest of the bonds for the whole
time they are to run must be computed
as a part of the bonded debt. which
would run the total up to nearly $780,
900. He bases his contention on the
decision of the Supreme Court in the
public property fund case, where the
interest on the states bonded debt was
declared a part of it, and was per-
mitted to be paid out of the public
property fund.
Atlanta's city attorney filed brief,
opposing Roff's contentious, because
Atlanta contemplates issuing 100000 of
bonds for sewer and water improve
ments, which could not be issued If
the Supreme Court holds that the in
terest must be considered as a part
of the debt in arriving at the con-
stitutional limit.
Columbus and GAINESVILLE are in the
same fix, and citizens of those towns
are opposing proposed bond issues. At
torneys for Columbus have also filed
a brief against Roff's contention, and
Hon. L. F. Garrard, representing the
opponents of the bonds, has filed a
brief, upholding the claim that the in
terest must be considered as a part
of the debt.
An early decision is expected, and it
will be awaited with a great deal of
interest

COFFEE HEART,
Life Insuran Companies now Rec.
oEnize the Disease.

The "Dietetic and HYGIENE Gazatte,"
a famous authority, said in a recent
issue, Medical examiners for life in
surance companies have added the
term Coffee Heart to their regular
classification of the functional derange-
ments of that organ. It's effect is in
shortening the long beat of the heart.
Coffee Topers.' they say, are plentiful
and as much tied to their cups as the
whisky topper. The effect of coffee upon
the heart is more lasting and conse-
quently worse than that of liquor"
A well known physician specialist of
Ladoga, Ind, tells how he treats such
cases. He has had many such. He
says: Il will mention one case in my
practice-Mrs. H, aged 81, very fleshy,
family history good, had been for more
than three years a constant sufferer
from headache, heart trouble and
smothering spells, accompanied by
nervousness. Had TO lie down when
attacked by these spells. She was
treating all the time, but got worse
II soon found out that she had 'cof-
fee heart and promptly cured her in
this way: 1 forbade her coffee and put
her on Postum Cereal Coffee instead.
She reported in five weeks and said she
had not had a bad spell since and felt
sound and we'll. This was four years
ago and she is now a picture of perfect
health and happiness.
This is only one case out of many I
knew the doctors bills would be small
but ! also knew the case would bring
lots of others to me. Few people realize
the great value of Postum. 1t is not a
cure-all, but it has been the means of
relief to perhaps more people than any
