ALess,n From Atlanta.

From the Washington Post.
 Society people in Atlanta are indignant over what they regard as snub admin istered to them by Mime. Nordica and M. Edouard de Reszke, some days ago. Ii seems that in view of the advertised visit of these two famous singers, accompanied by the orchestra of the Metropolitan Op- era house of New York. certain leaders conceived the idea of entertaining them In a purely social way. There was 10 person al acquaintance on either side. The Atlanta leaders knew nothing as to the private character or standing of the artists. Nor dica and De Reszke knew nothing about them. The purpose of the Atlanta parties was no doubt kind and courteous but the artists in question took no interest in the proposed ceremony and, as the story goes, did not notice it in any way. Hence, these tears.
 What we do not understand is the anx- iety on the part of well-bred, self-re- specting Americans to entertain in a so- cial way people of whom they know noth- ing whatsoever personally. In this part of the country we see a great deal of 1t, but the years only increase our perplexi- ty Strangers come along with reputa- tion for great wealth. We fly at them, smother them with solicitude pursue them, fawn upon them, bow down before them. The same happens in the case of foreigners who own or have borrowed a title, or who hold some trumpery official position. We may never have heard of them at all; may be utterly ignorant as to their birth, breeding or repute at home. But that makes not the slightest differ ence. We literally implore them to enter our homes, our clubs, our social circles; to eat our dinners, drink our wines, smoke our cigars, and acquire intimacy with our wives, sisters and daughters. Does any one know why? Certainly. we do not. It Is a mystery which grows more baffling and more distasteful every day. To us 1t Is inexplicable that any society, certain of itself, secure as to its position and care full of its own dignity, should receive, much less invite persons who do not ap- proach 1t equipped with unquestionable credentials. Tn our philosophy, 1t Is the last resort of servile snobbishness to open the door to wealth or title or official po- sition simply as such.
 In the Atlanta case we have no doubt that the would-be hosts and hostesses of Nordica and De Reszke were animated by the most amiable motives. Moreover we are quite willing to believe that the two singers were in every way socially worthy of their respect. The same may be true of such other instances as we have already referred to. But 1t Is quite possible that Nordica and De Reszke were not attracted by the prospect of hospital ity at the hands of perfect strangers, and we can imagine that they felt free to de- cline it without suspecting themselves of rudeness. If the incident should have the effect of checking this breathless pursuit of notables and this eager acceptance of everyone we do not know, it will have served very useful purpose.

JAKE LOEB STILL
 IN THE CITY JAIL
THIRD CHARGE OF BURGLARY AND GRAND LARCENY MADE AGAINST HIM YESTERDAY-pE- TEcTIVE GOT EVIDENCE.

A third charge was yesterday morn Ing made against Jake Loeb. who was al- ready in the city Jail on two charges, one of burglary and grand larceny, and the other of buying, receiving and con cealing stolen property. The additional charge is of burglary and grand larceny, and grew out of the information obtained yesterday by the police. The bond in this case was set at $500, but at late hour last night it had not been made.
 Police Detective Robert Patton return ed last night from Montgomery where he has been tracing the trunks of stolen harness and lap robes which, it is alleged, that Loeb sent to the Capital city. He found that two trunks of harness and one containing lap robes had been sent to Montgomery The first trunk was sent some time ago, shortly after the first burglary, and the contents are said to have been sold to Montgomery merchants. Detective Patton worked up evidence to this effect while in Mont gomery and claims he will be able to prove conclusively that Loeb was connect ed with the sales.
 The second trunk was the one that was caught there by the Montgomery police Wednesday morning. and the third was sent down Thursday night and was caught at the depot by Detective Patton. It contained the lap robes which were stolen several nights ago.
 The trunk had been checked on a ticket bought by a negro in Birmingham. It was this trunk which caused the third charge to be made against Loeb. The police here obtained information Thurs day night, 1t Is said, that the trunk had been checked. They Immediately tele- graphed Detective Patton in Montgom- cry and he caught the trunk yesterday morning.
 Patton states that he had no trouble in getting evidence in Montgomery, and that he will spring several surprises when the trial is held He says that number of people down there were willing to give him all the evidence they had, as they were afraid of being arrested on a charge of buying and receiving stolen property.
 Yesterday morning Loeb made bond in one of the cases, but was unable to make 1t in the other two. His bond in the first case was signed by w. w. Crawford, A. R. Forsyth. Thomas Bowron and J. Broda. It was for $500, Judge Feagin having re- duced the bond on each of the cases from 5000.

Dr. Drennen soon arrived and attended the sufferer. MT Smith regained consciousness but it is feared that his injuries are internal.

BONDS TO BE ISSUED
 FOR THE TRUNK SEWER
Sanitary commi@-:cn Authorized $1oo,- 900 at AZ Per cent-AIso $2o,ooo
 at AZ Per Cent.

At the meeting of the Jefferson county sanitary commission yesterday a resolu- tion was adopted authorizing the issu- ance and sale of sanitary sewer Az per cent bonds to the amount of $1OO, 900. An- other issue of s2OOOO Az per cent bonds was also authorized to take the place of the $20,OO0 per cent bonds which have already been sold. The object of the S20,- GOO Az per cent issue Is to make the en- tire issue uniform.
 The commission has power to Issue bonds for building the sanitary sewer to the amount of $5OOOOO, which much not exceed per cent. It was thought better not to put out the whole amount, how ever, but to issue them as the work de- manded. It will not be possible to finish the sewer this year. hence the $1OO,OOo issue.
 The sale of the bonds will be adver- tised in few days, and 1t is not thought that any trouble will be experienced in selling them.

The horsey set was in It's element last night during the auction of the boxes for the horse show. and the foyer of the Hlllman, where the auction was held, pre- scented a very animated scene. A major ity of the men attending the auction of the boxes were thoroughly enrapport with everything pertaining to horse shows This was evidenced in the con- servative bidding for boxes, which, al- though they did not bring New York prices, were disposed of at prices satis- factory to the horse show committee and encouraging to the public at large. With the prices of last night there Is no req son why the remaining boxes should not be disposed of before the opening of the horse show.
 The highest box brought s65. and none of the boxes went for less than $50.
 The auction was conducted by MT. c. D. Meglemry, president of the horse show committee, who has worked arduously for the success of the horse show and whose efforts are fully appreciated, as is demonstrated by the interest that Is being taken in the event.
 Discussions of horse flesh could be heard on all sides, the women seemingly as much interested as the men In Blr- mingham's first horse show.
 Beautiful gowns, brilliant eyes and 'horse talk" lent unusual interest to the evening, and with the chatter of the women, combined with the music, made the scene quite like one at the Madison Square Garden.
 The following Is the list of boxholders:

 The sale of the boxes was a great event socially, and the palm garden at the Hillman overlooking the lobby was bril- liant with many dinner parties and thronged with smart society.
