Atlanta, May 3I.-The Parker caucus
called tonight in the ball room OF the
Kimball House adjourned amid the wild
est tufnult and most turbulent scenes Of
disorder ever witnessed in a Georgia
Democratic gathering. There were
cheers and yells and Misses, and SO

impossible to take any action.
After Judge E. H. Galloway Of Rich
mond had been elected permanent chair
man, the roll of the counties was called.
During this period the disorder amount
ed to simply continuous buzz Of CONVEX

caucus, but only the motion to adjourn
was acted or after it was apparent that
any other action would be impossible.

YOU KNOW WHAT FIRM IT Is!


 There are many good and reputable firms in this city, and it is not to make "invidious comparisons that this brief article is written. But simple justice evokes a few lines, the truth of which will appeal to all readers. There is one firm which is ever alert and sagacious They think of the public and how best to serve them by day and dream of them by night. But the proprietors are not "mere dreamers." They are "Napo- Icons in their line" They are 'at it and ever at it.'' And scarcely day passes without bringing a surprise which is invariably welcome one to the hosts of patrons who frequent the establish ment. Now you know, and everybody else knows that we are talking about the Hirsh stores, and could we hear the words spoken in praise of the firm the effect would be Hike the sound of many waters."
 The latest announcement is the offer in to-day's advertisement of a splendid hat known as the Hirsh hat for $1.50 Also the Eirsh shoe at $2. After you see these goods you will want them and you won't stop till you buy them.

CONSOLIDATED ROAD
Buys the A1eIphi Building, Block Bacl
 of it and Other sPronertv.

Buys the AGelphi Building Block Back
 of it and Other Property.
 The Consolidated road has purchased the Adelphi building, on the northwest corner of Chapel and Union streets, and the block standing at 1s2 St. John street and extending back nearly 200 feet to- ward Union street.
 The Adelphi building was occupied by the Western Union Telegraph com pany for forty years and until year ago, when that concern moved to Or- ange street. It now contains several business offices, billiard parlors and a saloon. The building is four stories in height and has a frontage of about 150 feet. The property at St. John street has frontage of about 150 feet. This is also occupied by by business firms
 The property has been owned since 1872 by Nathan F. Hall and his heirs. Mr. Hall was for many years promi- nent Chapel street merchant, being as- sociated in business with Wallace B. Fenn and w. B. Bristol After his death his property passed to the hands of his two daughters, Mrs. Antoinette Hall Taylor, of Andover, Mass. and Mrs. Knevals, of NewYork, and to his grand daughter, Miss Emily Kneva1s, of New York city. Miss Knevals and Mrs. Taylor yesterday sold the property. < The price paid for the two blocks is not made public but real estate men who learned of the deal estimated that the road probably gave s100,00O for the property.
 The railroad company has also pur- chased the property at 1922 Union street from Anon Bradley, of South ington, and F. E. Hurlburt. The prop erty adjoins that already owned by the company on one side and that of the Hammond Packing company on the other and is located between Water and Fair streets. The property is assessed at S6,2SO
 This sale leaves the Consolidated road owning all property on Union street be- tween Chapel and Water streets, cx- cept four pieces.

MAY FESTIVAL OFF.
Thousands of Musicians Will be Disap-
 pointed.

pointed. Thousands Of musicians and patrons of music in Connecticut will hear with keen disappointment the authoritative announcement that in all probability no May Festival of the Connecticut Music Teachers association win be held this year.
 The cause is the death of Secretary A. J. Wilkins of Bridgeport. who has been Iindefatigable and invaluable in his ser vices in behalf of the festivals. which have been given annually for the past thirteen years.
 His continuance of i'll health just al, the time when the plans should be under way, delayed the formulation of an out line, the appointment of committees and |other such necessities. until a time which is in the opinion of the officials, too late. for such an undertaking.
 The May festival has always meant feast of musical riches, many of Amer ica's finest artists having been heard at the principal concert.
 The series os concerts which usually occupied three days in the first or sec ond week Of May, including morning concerts where young singers often made their debut, before a critical au- dience.
 By this means. some of the finest voices among the young artists of Con- necticut became known. and their posi- tion in the musical world assured.
 'No festival in 1904" is indeed bad news. as it deprives New Haven and Connecticut of the flower of musical happenings and leaves the prospect for a resumption of the festivals in later years anything but encoura ging.
 One official of the Music Teachers association has stated that the festivals when resumed which. according to his idea, will be in 1905, will be held in some other city of Connecticut, Hartford probably.
 Hartford has tried for so many years for this honor and has so many claims, owing to it's many fine musicians and musical organizations. that this as- sumption is probably true.
 In the meantime, the eager multitude who have been anticipating with so much pleasure the May festival of 1904 voted for New Haven, must endure t.:eir disappointment at the decision.

MODERN LANGUAGES.

Meeting in This City To-day to Orr
 ganize State Branch. The following circular have been is- sued:
 All those teachers of Modern Ian guages in the schools and colleges of Connecticut who are interested in the principles and aims of the New Eng land Modern Language Association, as outlined in the enclosed circular, are cordially invited to meet in New Haven, Saturday, March 18th, to organize a Connecticut branch of the Association. It is hoped that as large 9 number as possible may respond to this call, for now that the last and largest of our Connecticut colleges has fallen into line and given French and German an equal standing with Greek In its list of entrance requirements, the oppor- tunities as well as the responsibilit ties of the teachers of modern languages in the state have been much increased and it seems an especially suitable time for them to meet and discuss their work, their methods, and their aims.
 All details as to the work of the group, the number and place of its meetings. etc., will be left to be settled by those who meet to form it. In or der, however, that this first meeting may be of interest and profit to all, it is proposed to discuss the following question:
 "Do our college entrance require ments in modern lankuakes outline the best course also for those pupils who are not preparing for college?''
 Professors Warren and Gruener of Yale, Professor Kuhns of Wesleyan, Miss Marshall of the Norwich Free Academy, Miss Sawtelle of the Hart ford High School, and several others, cussion, which will, it is hoped, be shared in by all. MT. w. E. Snow of Boston, President of the New England Modern Language Association, will also be with us
 The meeting for discussion will take at Dwight Hall on the Yale Campus at Il a. m. A meeting will be held at p. m. in the same place, for effecting permanent organization, choice of officers, sdicussion of the special work of the Connecticut Group, the place end number whether one or two annu- ally) of it's meetings etc.
 A dinner will be served in the restau- rant of the Y. M c. A. building at one o'clock, for all who desire it, at charge of 40 cents each. Will those who wish to dine kindly inform Miss Whitney by postal card by March 11th.

SILK WORMS AT WALLETS.
ST. LOUIS EXPOSITION LOOM
 AND SILKS.
How snk l Obtained Electric Motor

 The children who do not expect to visit the St. Louis fair should embrace the opportunity of seeing the electric motor weaving machine in the enter prising and wideawake emporium of the Edward Malley company. There are many weaving machines in this wide world, but there are only three electric motor machines. Some are run by water. others by steam, but here you can see one of the motor machines and see the "Moneybak" black silks woven.
 Back many centuries before the Christian era, it was discovered by the Chinese that the long silken threads spun by the larvae of the Bombyx mori or common silkworm could be utilized for fabrics. The natural object of these filaments is to protect the worm from the elements while 1t is being trans formed from the chrysalis state But the exit of the moth from It's prison causes the rupture of so many strands that manufacturers nowadays stife the chrysalis life by dry heat, thus losing none of it's valuable wrapping. Each cocoon then provides about 4,000 yards of silk filament, a web so delicate that 400 or more are required to form the ordinary strand of sewing silk; yet ca pable of being woven without the as sistance of foreign matter into silken stuffs that stand alone'-such as were bought with honest pride by our grand mothers.
 Then have look in the little glass case, where is shown the silk worms, their cocoons, and the fine skeins Of silk from which this real silk is made. Then look at other beautiful colors at the silk counter where are taffeta, peau de lou, peau de cygne and messa- line. This will be perhaps your only chance to see this wonderful electric loom, since when it goes from here 1t will be placed in the great exposition at St. Louis.
 Then if you are feeling tired go over by the elevator and have the kind lady treat you. to a cup of the original Pe- ters milk chocolate, which has obtained fourteen gold and silver medals. While you rest, tell mamma to go buy some of the soft rubber curriers' and wavers for herself, so she can look pretty with the Marcells Wave with which to charm dear papa and then all go home hap py and come down tf, $I1e Mai1evs ia IT. E next Saturday, and I'll tell you of other wonders Mir, Malley loves to display for the boys, girls and fair ladies.
