Slayer of Goshea Is Found
Guilty.
LIFE SENTENCE FOR MURDERER.
Charles Alexander Is Found Guilty OF
Murder In Killing Pleas Goshea-
Other Cases Tried-Grand Jury Is
Still Very Busy Body.

For shooting to death Pleas Goshea
another negro, Charles Alexander will
serve life sentence in the peniten-
tiary. Such was the effect of the YER
dict yesterday in the trial of this case,
the jury finding a verdict of guilty
with recommendation to mercy.
And this means q life sentence for
the slayer of Pleas Goshea.
The case was entered upon the first
thing yesterday morning and was not
concluded until after noon. 1t was a
clear case, and the jury did not long
remain outside.
Alexander killed Goshea in the
street at Leslie, near Americas,
less than a month ago. Goshea was
sitting in his buggy when Alexander
went out and sccosted him and, after q
few words, pulled the ever ready pistol
and fired, Goshea dying instantly.
Homer Green, an Americus produc-
ton was sdiudged guilty of the charge
of burglary in breaking into the house
of another negro here. Sentence has
not yet been passed upon him.
These were the only cases complet-
ed at yesterdays session.
The grand jury had a busy session
yesterday, returning dozen indcit-
ments in misdemeanor cases, and will
probably remain in session a day or
two longer as there are yet several bills
pending and some committee work to
be completed.
Judge Littlejohn will, quite likely,
finch the jail cases this week.

STOCK ROAMING THE STREETS.
Cattle Make Pasture of Residence
Thoroughfares.

SdtttS wake TaSture OF residence
Thoroushfares.
Americus has stock law, but it is
just as if there was none. At night
cattle and horses roam the streets,
grazing upon the luxuriant grass grow
ing everywhere, and to the great detri.
ment of flower and vegetable gardens,
which are invaded and destroyed.
Yesterday morning, for instance, a
drove of Jersey cattle grszed for sew
eral hours in the Presbyterian church
yard, and probably chewed up few
gardens as well, as half the residences
here have no front fences or other pro-
lection against roaming herds. 1t is
hard to believe that cattle owners will
deliberately turn cattle into the street
to Craze, but it seems that this has
been done in some instances. If
these roaming herds were rounded up
by an impounding officer once or
twice the custom would be stopped.

Morning.
Shortly before 1 o'clock yesterday
morning a citizen desiring to use his
phone went to the telephone exchange
to get the desired connection, having
failed to arouse the operator on duty
by ringing his bell. The front door
was ratified and banged at such a ter
rife rate that Proprietor McCleskey,
of the Hotel Windsor, got up and en-
tered vigorous protest. At fifteen
minutes to O'Clock the alarm bell in
the exchange was still gathering as it
had been doing for nearly an hour, Tt
probably would have been very diff
cult for a subscriber, in any emergen-
cy,to have got telephone connection at
that time, if it could have been OBJ
tanned at all.

French Military Bands

One of the results of the proposed
French two years military service
bill will be the almost complete sup
preston of military bands. The gain
to the army will be apparent when it
is stated that, at present, there are
as many as $4,000. musicians in the
French army, who cost the country
about 100000 francs a year BY
turning these $4,000 men into the rank
and file and saving the $1,000, 900
francs an immense economy will be
effected.
Another result of this innovation
will be the suppression of open-air
military concerts during the summer.
One of the solaces of having to pay
high taxes in France on the part OF
the working man is the knowledge
that he can take his wife TO a free
concert, where the air is pure and the
music excellent.
Knowing what a protest would be
raised everywhere if these concerts
were TO be entirely suppressed, the
military authorities have decided to
retain about 100 men for the first
few years at least of the new regime
or band for each army division
This will stimulate the formation OF
civil bands in districts where the peo-
pie are willing to pay for concerts.

HOUSEHOLD DECORATION
Conducted by Margaret Greenteaf

In some of the large department
stores | have seen little chest four
feet high, finished TO look like oak
When the lid was turned back it
showed a convenient arrangement of
two gas burners for cooking with the
coil of tubing attached Below were
doors which disclosed shelves on one
side, holding plates, cups, etc, and
hooks on the other side for a tiny
frying pan, a griddle and saucepans,
This could stand in the parlor quite
unobtrusively, and keep its secret well.
Boston Enquirer" asks: What is
a suitable decoration for a mantel in a
dining-room? The mantel is of oak
and has upper and lower shelves, with
a mirror set at the back of shelf"
A clock is frequently placed on a
dining mantelshelf, and any
good piece of old or rare china can be
made to look effective there. The ar
rangement of, and ornaments used
upon, a dining-room mantelshelf
should differ materially from those
used in the drawing-room or in bed
rooms.
A certain formality of arrangement
must be preserved. Old brasses or
pieces OF copper are decorative 1t is
well TO avoid crowding, however, and
each piece placed upon a mantel in
dining-room must be of sufficient size
to show up we'll from any point of the
room. There should be no indulgence

was drawn over all, even the head and
foot rods. This was finished all
around by hounce which reached the
floor
The two perfectly square feather
pillows were slipped into covers of the
same chintz and tied with tapes. When
these were set in place at either end of
the transformed bed, the effect was
that of a completely upholstered
couch.
To disguise the toilet accessories
OF bedroom, screen is very useful.
However, with your light bathroom
you should be able to do away with
the need of a dressing table in this
