The spectacle OF the Russian squadron lying
helplessIy at Port Arthur under japanese guns,
instead Of boldly sallying forth and doing battle
with TogO's fleet, thus counting glorious death
rather than inglOrious destruction, is not an
heroic one Cerveras example at Santiago is
an instance of the choice Of brave man, and
although not successful. history will accord him
a higher place than it would had he remained in
the harbor and permitted his vessels to be sunk
by American guns.

EIGHTEEN YEARS OVERDUE
ONE OF THE BABY BONDS SHOWS UP
AT THE STATE TREASURY.
Was Sent from New Jersey for Collection,
and Was Paid by Treasurer Park.
Recalls Interesting History.

One OF the baby bonds issued in 1879
and about eighteen years overdue has
showed up in the Office OF State I reas-
urer Park, says an Atlanta dispatch.
1t was for five dollars, and was as crisp
as on the day it was Issued.
The bond was sent to the treasury
by Thomas Pinckney of Morristown,
N. j., who says he found it among the
papers which his father left upon his
death, which occurred recently. There
were six coupons for twenty cents
each, and Treasurer Park sent MIR.
Pinckney check for $500.
The appearance of the little bond
recalled the passage of the act of 1878
aud the discussions in the Legislature
that year. The object of the baby
bonds was to provide circulating
medium. The tax on state bank cur
rency prevented the creation~of money
of that character, and itswas thought
that bond that looked like money
would circulate and answer the pur
pose. 1t was one of the theories of the
Georgia "fnancier" OF that time.
The act of the legislature authorized
the issue of half million of the little
bonds in denominations of from five
dollars TO a hundred dollars. They
were to bear interest at the rate OF
four per cent, and as the state was pay
ing eight it was supposed that no one
would want the bonds for the purpose
of investment. Each bond was about
the size of a green bank note. They
were very much like money, except for
the six coupons on the end. They
were bright, crisp ana business'like,
and were well adapted for the purpose
for which they were issued. They
were signed by j. w. Renfroe, state
treasurer, and Alfred II. Colquitt, gov
ernor.

$4,000 BILLS AS GIFTS.
Gold Certificates of This Demon
nation in Demand.

Whoever desires to give an abso-
lutely unique holiday present has only
to procure and present the $4,000
United States note. According to a
financial writer in the Evqning Post
there is only .yne such note in circula-
tions ~
There is no $4,000 silver certificate,
but $685. gold certifcated of that de-
nomination are available. And it is a
matter of common knowledge with
bankers and treasury officials that
these at this season are somewhat in
demand to be used as gifts by those
who can afford them.
Yet the $4,000 bill as a gift has It's
disadvantages, says the New York
World. A stocking which contained
only one of them would present mel
ancholly appearance. And into Sthe
giving of it enters nothing of the low
ing thought .and the sacrifice which
make many gift of little money value
priceless.

TEXANS AMUSING MISTAKE
THINKING SHE WAS A HORSE, HE WENT
TO GET LADY CONSTANCE.
Had Previously Prepared Stall for Her,
and Ordered the Car Left at
Certain Place.

The announcement that Lady Con-
stance Mackenzie would arrive here
on a certain date led to an amusing
mistake, says an Alice, Texas, dis
patch. The telegram informing r. J.
Kleberg of Santa Gertrudas ranch OF
Lady Constance's proposed arrival
came from a north Texas ranchman,
where she has been visiting. Mr..
Kleberg was absent, and the boss OF
his ranch received the telegram.
The ranch boss is not up Oh titles OF
nobility, and he thought that Lady
Constance must be fine blooded mare
that Mr.. Kleberg was sending to the
ranch. He telephoned to ]. B. Rag
land, the livery stable man at Alice,
who attended to such business for the
ranch, that "Lady Mackenzie" would
arrive on Friday nights train, and
that as she was high-bred animal
and very valuable he would be ex-
pected to take special care of her until
she could be forwarded to the ranch.
Mr.. Ragland put fine stall in the
best condition at the stable and motif
fed Mr.. Anderson, the railroad agent,
to have the car switched at a certain
place, as he was anxious to get or out
of the car as soon as possible afte, 20
arrival of the train.
Meantine Frank Ayers of the Mos
err Cosgrove hotel received a telegral
saying that Lady Constance Mackenzie
would arrive on that nights train and
that she wanted accommodations at
the hotel. A little before train time
Mr.. Ragland and Mr.. Ayers met at
the station and both learned that they
were there for the purpose of meeting
an expected arrival named Lady Con-
stance. There was no horse on the
train, and Mr.. Ragland admitted that
the ranch boss must have made mis-
take.

draw visitors to the Georgia exhibit
in the palace of agriculture at the

In an agricultural way corn and su-

this state, and the Georgia commission

demonstration of how delicious these
foods are when served in the ideal
way.
In the center of her agricultural ex-
hibit, surrounded by cotton, corn and
sugar cane, an ideal plantation log
cabin will be built. 1t will be presd-
ed over by an old negress who knows
all about the art OF producing corn
pone and corn cakes, such as are made
in no other part of the world. Every
visitor to the Georgia section will be
invited to sit down and test the pro-
verbal southern hospitality and the
cooking ability of a genuine Georgia
colored 'auntie."

appeal SO strongly to the appetite, but
it will be artistic, showing u neat pa

There was unique and rather SOL

Jno. Rourke, the elephant keeper
who was killed at Valdosta overa year
ago by the big elephant Gypsie, the an

The saarris Nickel-Plate Circus, of
which Rourke was an attache at the

The entire circus force, accompanied
by the bands, went to the cemetery
and unveiled handsome marble stone

were short, simple and very appropri-
ate, including two funeral dirges from
the band.
The entire circus force will remain
in Valdosta until next March. Mrs.
Harris, the manager of the show, was
lavish in her Christmas gifts to the
show people, her purchases one day
amounting to over three thousand

NAVY REFORM NEEDED.
Officers Prefer Balls and Theatre
Parties to Sea Service.

Parties to Sea Service.
1t appears from the annual report OF
Admiral Taylor, chief of the bureau OF
navigation, that there is much room
for reform In the United States navy.
Service at sea seems to be very dis
tasteful to the majority of the officers,
who prefer that the ship to which
they are assigned shall remain as long
as possible in some port. These Off
GERS do not like 'to ride the pillows OF
tee bounding Deep" and they get sea
sick eEery time they hear anyone
sing, life on the Ocean Wave. "
They are very much opposed to be-
ing crooked in the cradle Of the deep, !"
but delight in pink teas, balls and the
atre parties. In other words, society
aud not the sea is their element. This
no doubt accounts for the fact that
Admiral Taylorin his report calls at
tention to the long time spent by ves-
sells OF the North Atlantic in navy
yards for repairs.
