A stranger in the city was comment
ing on the beauty of the trees which
line Augustus streets, and said: why,
from the hills on either side of the
river. the opposite side looks like
houses set in a grove" Certain it is
that few cities large or small can show
a wealth of large and beautiful trees
like those in Augusta, and our people
have become so used to them that their
beauty is not appreciated until one
goes away from home.

Sea. Sm Oke.

One of the peculiar phenomena of the Arctic regions is "sea smoke.'' g Explorers tell of a steam as if from boiling kettle, which rises from the water when the temperature is IS degrees below zero. At 40 degrees the snow and human bodies emit this vapor, which changes into tiny icy particles, which fill the air and make a light noise like the rustic of silk. At 40 degrees tree trunks burst with loud report, rocks break up and streams of smoking water flow from great cracks in the earth's surface, knives break in cutting butter and lighted cigars go out by contact with the ice upon the beard On some of the extreme cold days that prevail in the northwestern states in winter, the air seems to be full of fine ice, which is probably the same phenom- enon as that noted above.-Golden Days.

 FRATERNAL
BERTHA. .GALLAND.
.,s .s .ss ..s S!IES5e ea

A very fine dramatic production is assured for this evening at Polls, when Bertha Galland appears as the star of stNotre Dame.'' The play is an adap- tation from Victor Hugo's novel of the same name by Paul M. Potter, author of ssTrilby,' tUnder Two Flags" Sheridan: and other plays. The en- tire production will be presented intact just as 1t was during the run at Daly's Etheater, New York. where 1t was pro- llnounced one of the most sumptuously staged and intensely dramtic produc- itions of the season. The play is in five 1 acts and seven scenes and it fairly !reeks with intrigue adventure, con- 1spiracy. murder and chivalric encoun- 4ter. The cast, too, is a great one, in fcluding such noted players as Frank < C. Bangs, William F. Owen, Frank kLosee. GeorgesW. .Barbier and others. Prices are 25. 50 75 cents. $1 and $1 50.
 VAUDEVILLE AT THE JACQUES.
 One thing alone, probably, prevents this being record breaking week at the Jacques, and that is the car strike So pronounced a hit has the great show made and so general has been the talk aroused by the two big European nov l could have the proper facilities for reaching the center the house would unquestionably be overfowing at every performance. Such acrobatics as the EVetos present have never been seen here before even in a circus, and they are of kind that, albeit phenomenally sensational, are still of overpowering interest even to those who ordinarily don't fancy acrobatics. It is the same with Franco Piper's banjo juggling; it Is so novel and fascinating that one finds it of absorbing interest every mo- mert. The comedy is very fine. too. rounding out a show that for complete, Iy, satisfying excellence would be very hard to equal. Prices are 10. 20 and 30 cents; afternoons 10 and 20 cents, ladies 10.

Prices arc popular; 15 and 9 cents for the mat inee. and in the evening 25, 35 and 5( cents.

 A number of old friends, as they were pleased to call themselves, under took to show him around and to point out the improvements that 20 years had brought about.
 There was a new courthouse, a new jail and lastly a fine large building lately erected for the county poor.
 Bob did not care copper cent to be shown any of these affairs, but he had his own reasons for being civil, hence he permitted himself to be dragged hither and thither and at last actually found himself inside the handsome new poorhouse.
 "The matron will show us through" |" said the obsequious friend. "Who knows but you may run across some of your old acquaintances," he added, with a light laugh.
 In one of the large halls they passed a woman bending over little child, who was sobbing bitterly. The wom- an sat in low armchair, and her face was hidden, but the mass of brown hair rolled in knot at the nape of her neck was heavily streaked with gray.
 Get out of the road, Jimmy said the matron. You are always getting hurt" then, turning to the woman, she said: Have you finished the shirts ?'' The woman raised her head and re- piled, softly, that she had. The sum- light streaming in through the win dow brought her head and face and slight form into bold relief.

RAILROADS BORROW coal
Number Of Trains on Some Of Roads
May Be Reduced on Account
of Shortage.

New York, Dec. 29.-The coal strin-
gency in New England has become so
acute that a curtailment of train
schedules on railroads in that section
in the near future appears to be al
most inevitable. The New York, New
Haven & Hartford is worse off than
the other roads, despite it's many
coal depots along it's lines, and it has
been forced to borrow and seize coal
a number of times.
Some of the roads, it is said, more
than a month ago, recommended cut
ting schedules, in view of a possible
shortage of coal and most roads in
the country, which are not original
ing roads," adopted the measure. The
operation of New England factories
will be affected. though, up to the
present, only two factories have been
obliged to suspend operations on &C
count of the fuel famine.

SAYS SHE LIKES US.
Italy Will Welcome Any Ship That
May Drop In.

Rome, Dec. 29.-It having been re-
ported that Commander William H.
Reeder of the United States training
ship Hartford said the Hartford would
not come to ar Italian port, fearing an
u~nfavorable reception on account of
the unpleasant incident at Venice, in
connection with the visit of the the
officers of the United States cruiser
Chicago last spring, the Associated
Press has been requested officially to
deny the existence of any animosity
towards the United States either
among the Italian people or on the
part of the Italian government. This
lack of animosity, it is pointed out,
is proved by the last Italian note on
the Venezuelan matter, in which it
was said that Italy had unlimited cor
idence in President Roosevelt. If
American ships Of war come to Italy
the Associated Press is requested to
say they will be heartily welcomed
everywhere. !.

TAKES THREE SHOTS AT HIM.
WouId-Be Hold-Up Barely Escapes
with His Life.

Helena, Dec. 29.-Louis Crowell fir
ed three shots at a highwayman and
put him to flight early this morning.
He encountered the crook on Broad
way near the capitol building, and
drove him toward the gulch which
leads toward the north. A presenti-
ment of trouble, which led him to
arm himself, probably saved him the
loss of a large sum of money. Crowell
was returning to his brothers home
at 1109 Broadway. He saw an indis-
tinct form in the street directly in
front of the house. AS he drew near
he was able to distinguish a tall man.
At a distance of about 20 feet the
stranger moved toward him and
shouted Hands up"
CrowelPs revolver was already in
his hand and he replied with a shot.
The stranger fled. Crowell fired two
more shots after him. He was I'M
able to distinguish whether the high.
wayman had either mask or pistol.

CALLED FlTz A A
Fighter Floors His Former Manager
in Hotel Lobby.

Anaconda, Dec. 29.-With a left
arm hook Robert Fitzsimmons f1oored
his former manager, Clark Bell, in the
lobby of the Thornton hotel a few
minutes after / O'Clock this morning.
The blow struck Ball squarely on the
point of the jaw and he was knocked
against a corner of the desk at the
end of the counter. His head came
in violent contact with a sharp corner
and a laceration resulted. In another
faction of a second Ball was PROSTATE
and out.
He was revived in a few seconds
and his bleeding head bathed. He
Was not seriously injured and was
apparently as we'll as ever within 10
minutes after the blow was struck.
The trouble was precipitated by the
fact that last night Ball severed his
connection with the Jeffries- Fitzsim-
non combinations and signed a con-
tract with Jack Monroe, whereby the
local miner, who had stood before
jeff for four rounds a week. ago Sat
urday night, is to be the star attrac-
ton of an athletic. show managed by
the former manager OF "Lanky Bob"
When the men met tonight there was
some wrangling and Ball called Fitz
a liar. Then the blow was struck.
