MURDER OF A MUTE
Found Dead Near Railroad Track
in Stewart County. No Clue
to the Murderer.

A few days ago one mile east OF
Lumpkin man was found lying dead
close to the railroad track. A freight
train coming by thought that possibly
he had been killed by the east bound
passenger, which had passed few mo-
ments before. After investigating,
however, it was found that the man
had been shot in the back af the head,
and was killed instantly.
The authorities of the county went
out and chad the remains taken to
Lumpkin. There was nothing on his
person TO identify him. He had on his
person SAL in cash, which the party
who did the killing evidently over
looked. It is said by people who had
seen him that he carried a vallse. This
was gone when he was found, as also
was his shoes.
Mr.. r. H. Doster, a mute shoemaker
at Lumpkin, identified the body
as that of Mr.. f. F. Young, who is
also mute, and said that he lived
about four miles from Thomasville,
Ca. Mr.. Doster says that Mr.. Young
had been peddling for some time.
There is no clue las to who did the
killing, but reward has been offered
by the people of Lumpkin for the MUIR

OPINION OF A COTTON BEAR
PREDICTS THAT TERRIBLE SMASH IS
COMING TO THE BULLS.
SAYS the Crop Is Much Larger Than Is
Generally Supposed. Claims Govern
ment Estimates Are Not Correct.

ment Estimates Are Not Correct.
! The bears declare that a terrible
smash is coming to the bulls in the
cotton market. This is the view taken
bv Theodore H. Price in his recent
circular. His contention is that the
crop is much larger than it is general
Iy supposed to be, and that IL 10 mis-"
take 10 think that every bale not in
excess OF 8, 750, eco will be consumed ir.
respective of price. He has the facts
back of him when he criticises the
governments crop estimates, which
for six years have been about $4,000
bales under the real crop. He states
the reason for the under estimate this
wear is that the crop was three
weeks late, but favorable conditions
have enabled planters 10 make up for
that lost time, and that receipts are
ahead of last year. He has made in
quiry in what are known as uncounted
towns, and from answers received has
estimated the STOCK on hand as greater
than last year by ia per cent. He
assumes that there is as much cotton
in sight this year as there was the
same date last year.
Mr.. Price sets no value on the asser-
ton that the high prices current this
year have produced rapid marketing
beyond precedent. He fnds that in
the past the slowest marketing has
been done in the years of highest
prices. He thinks that all the facts of
cotton statistical history indicate
crop larger than last years.

Shy Tihetan ladies'.

A correspondent with the English ex-
petition to Tibet writes from Chumb'
that large number of women who
are employed in the construction OF
stone buildings for the accommodation
of the troops have made their already
by no means prepossessing faces still
more hideous by blackening their noses
in order to avoid exciting the admira-
ton of the sepoys. The cold is so Sc
we're that the saddles have frozen on
to the animals backs.

The Craze for RadIum.

Radium is fast becoming a nuisance,
and nothing will save US from it but
the discovery of an inexhaustible mine
of the substance, the inevitable forma-
ton of a company and quotation on
the Stock Exchange, says the London
Court Journal. Only when all romance
has been knocked out of it in this way
shall we be free from radium at homes,
radium wedding presents, radium hid
den, radium exhibited and radium on
the dust heap. 1t is no wonder that
Sir Oliver Lodge is said to be over
Whelmed by radium.

William c. Whitney, who occasional
ly found time to tell story, related
the following about young frequenter
of the race track in whom he took
some little interest, says the New York
Times: After working steadily for
some months, this chap took his saw
ings to Saratoga and at the outset of
the race meeting started in to get all
the bookmakers' money. Luck was
against him, and after two or three
days of plunging with Indifferent sue
cess he found his capital sadly reduc-
ed. Then he took turn at roulette
and lost about all he had left.

1t is only few weeks ago that Mr..
Whitney was one of a merry party at
the toboggan slide erected on the golf
links of the Meadowbrook club at
Hampstead, N. Y, and at this time
played a joke on some Of his party
which was characteristic Of the man.
says the New York American.
A toboggan party composed Of Miss
Adelaide Randolph, Arthur Iselin, ]. l..
Blair, Mr.. and Mrs. r. L. Beeckn1an and
Mr.. and Mrs. Harry P. Whitney had
left the latter's house afoot, drawing
their tobOggans after them. When
about halfway to the clubhouse Mr..
Whitney, with his little granddaughter,
In a two seated sleigh overlook the
walking party, and when the latter
asked for Glitch" Mr.. Whitney laugh
ingly consented.
The toboggans were quickly fastened
behind the sleigh, and the horses start
ed at a merry pace across the Hemp
stead plains toward the slide. Seeing
a snowdrift ahead, Mr.. Whitney di-
rected the coachman to drive through
it, and the low toboggans, with the
passengers, sunk in so deep that the
towropes broke, leaving the "hitchers'
stranded.
With a laugh and wave of his
hand, Mr.. Whitney kept on to the
clubhouse, leaving the others to extri-
cate themselves from the snow and
walk the remainder of the way.
Although Mr.. Whitney did not him
self toboggan, he enjoyed watching the
sport so much that he expressed his in
tention of building a slide at his West
bury estate for the use of his guests.

The entire community about a race
track rejoiced when William G. Whit
ney's outfit arrived, for money was
certain to be circulated freely, and
tricksters that Ak up a worthless horse
so that he will win one race, hoping
that Mr.. Whitney would take the beast
off their hands, were always waiting
about in shoals, says a writer in Aims
lees Magazine.
AS an example OF the racing kings
generosity 1t is related that upon win
ming the English Derby he ordered
certain hotel proprietor at Sheepshead
Bay to give every one that entered
bottle of champagne. You may be
sure the news spread quickly, and 1t
was not long before the boniface had
to call upon his neighbors for supplies.
The bill that Mr. Whitney's secretary
received amounted to $4,000. 1t was
paid.

LACE TO BE IN VOGUE FOR SUM.
 MFR MILLINERY.

Immense use is made of lace, which is generally of mellow huc when noc actually tinted, rarely quite white. All sorts of lace are in request; the heav- Ter styles of Guipure motifs and gar lands with raised patterns for inter- letting and application work. Brussels, Mechlin and other pillow lace for draperies; so for yelling shapes cover ed plain with two or three layers of pale-hued mOusseline or tulle. Some thing is done with black Chantiliy particularly as trimming for black picture hats, further decorated with black nlumes.
 Straw braids. as I have said, figure among the trimmings of made-up hats. For this purpose they must necessarily he of q light description. Plain Tuscan, rice straw and fair braids are applicable, as well as lace woven braids wrought in guipurc pat terms and used as q substitute for lace. h some Of these models the entire trimming is carried out in applique or with incTusations rendered all the more effective by reason of the semi transparency of the foundation. Be- sides the guipure of straw braids in- tervals will be occupied by medallions of fine lace framed in ruchings of narrow ribbon. or better still. with chaplets of small roses. Even when bows of ribbon enter into the scheme of decoration. these will be sewn down fat on the shape % as to form in crustatiOns in relief.

NOT THE SAME DATE.

The following bit of transformation appeas in the Albany Argus:
 One thing remains the same as it was in George Washington's time, and that's the date on which he was born. |"
 George Washington was born on the 11th of February, 1732, according to the old style or Julian calendar, which was then in vogue. The Julian year con sisted of 965A days, and was II minutes 1895 seconds longer than the true solar year which consists of 365 days. , hours AS minutes 46.G5 seconds This excess. accommodating year by year, wid- ened the gap between the calendar and solar years until it amounted to about eleven days. In 15S2 Pope Gregory NH. sought to correct the error by bringing the calendar year down 10 it's solar length end by dropping the su- DerfluOus dates that had accumulated.
 The GregCrian calendar was adopted by one nation after another c elt Britain falling ip line in 1752, followed, of course. by her American co onies Eleven days were then dropped that is to say, all dates wee set eleven days ahead, the 1sr of the month becoming the 12th etc. The change was stub hornly resisted in England. especially by the ignorant class. who got an idea that their lives were being shortened. But an act Of parliament settled the matter.
 Thus from 97S2 to 1752, Washingtcns bithday fell on the 11th Of February, end was changed in the latter year 10 the 22nd of February. Therefore, it is not true that the date has remained the same as it was in Washington's t.me or at least in the first twenty years Of his life. The Gregorisn calendar s) closely corresponds to the solar year that its excess will amount 10 only one day in 3325 years.-Roohester Demo- crat and Chronicle.
