SPENCER AND HANSON
 ARE CITED TO APPEAR
Must Answer Some Questions Regard ing Ownership of the Central
 of Georgia.

Atlanta. October 27.-(Special0-The railroad commission today addressed com munications to President Samuel Spencer of the Southern railway and President J. F. Hanson of the Central of Georgia requesting them to appear before that body on November 10 for the purpose or answering such questions as the commis- sion may see fit to ask regarding the own er-ship of the capital stock of the Central of Georgia Railway company.
 This matter was to have come up on October 19 but that date was inconVen- lent for MT. Spencer, who stated he would be able to come to Atlanta sometime in November. In the communication ad- dressed to President Spencer yesterday he was asked to name a date In Novem- Der which would suit him in the event he could not be hede on the 10th. The commission has no power to compel the attendance of President Spencer, but he has readily consented to come as soon as his business engagements will permit.
 The investigation of the ownership of the stock of the Central of Georgia is based on a petition filed by former Con- eressman w. H. Fleming of Augusta, in behalf of the minority stockholders of the Augusta Southern railway which is op- erated and controlled by the Southern. The minority stockholders claim this con- trol is illegal on account of the fact that the Southern owns the capital stock of the Central of Georgia, which operates a competing line to the Augusta Southern. This it Is claimed, is in violation of the constitution and laws of eGorgia. The investigation will be held sometime dur ing November. on the 10th if President Spencer finds he can be here at that time.

POLICEMEN MAY APPEAL.
Cases of Officers Required to Pay
 Costs-Judge Feagin's Rule.

A case somewhat similar to that of Policemen Armstrong and Hickman, who were called on to pay the cost in three cases Thursday morning, was before Judge Feagin in police court yesterday. The judge liberated Jerry Reed, hack driver, who was arrested at the instga- ton of anctter negro J. NJ. McAfee. and taxed McAIee s2.5O. As the man was not In court the police were instructed to find him. In making the complaint against the hackman he intimated that he had lost s35.
 Armstrong and Hickman who had to pay costs in three cases Thursday, will take an appeal against Judge Feagin's decision. They arrested three men for singing in a saloon and would not swear they were singing when placed on the stand to testify. Judge Feagin told them they should not make arrests unless they had good reasons for depriving men of their liberty, and ordered them to pay s5 cost. Policeman Hickman produced s5 note receipt. Judge Feagin. who intended to give the money back to them after court. ordered that no receipt be issued, and told Chief Wier to notify the men that their money would he refunded. The chief gave notice, but Clerk McElreth still had the money yesterday, and the policemen are said to have consulted an Attorney about a receipt.

KEEP IN COMMUNICATION.
Wireless Stations Now Established
 Along the Entire Seaboard.

Washington. October 27.-According to a report received at the navy department today, the wireless telegraph station at Key West picked up the armored cruiser West Virginia at distance of 225 miles. as that vessel went down the coast. en route to New Orleans and was in com munication with the West Virginia at distance of 375 miles after she had passed.
 Naval officials are watching with con- siderable interest tho effort of the com mander of the West Virginia to maintain communication with the mainland by wireless teegraphy as she bears the President northward on his return from the south. It Is the aim of the naval au- thorities ultimately to so perfect the wireless system along the Atlantic sea- board that vessels sailing up and down the coast may be kept in the closest pos sible touch, and that ships may be com muncated with at the greatest possible distance fro mshore. Wireless stations have been installed at intervals all along the coast from Cape Cod to New Orleans, and plans already have been formulated to bring the sthmus of Panama in direct wireless communication with the United States.

She could find no special objection to

riages, a cordial liking being all that
is necessary or, more strictly speak

positive dislike.
BRIDE HAS NO WEDDING RING.
THE customary exchange of pres
ents occurred. 1 suppose you know
that in this country the groom presents
the bride with silken girdle as a
substitute for wedding ring. The
form of the old Japanese marriage
ceremony was neither religious nor
legal in its character. 1t consisted
merely of drinking sake from a cup
with two spouts The bride comes to
the home of the groom accompanied
by her own servants and effects-the
young woman always furni hes the
house If the parents are well to do
she also brings enough clothing to
last her the most of her lifetime. This
is Pc sible because the fashions do
not change. The husband of saba
San proved to be a good-for-nothing.

FOR THE MASTERS HONOR.
zone of the favorite tales of old
Japan concerns itself with the fatal
quarrel of Onoye and Iwafuji two Ia
dies In waiting upon the wife of
daimio. Onoye was of common BIRTH
being the daughter of a merchant,
while Iwafuji belonged to the higher
class. 1t was so unusual for a plebian
to attend lady of quality that her
presence was resented. The jealousy
became SO intense that finally Iwafuji
struck the gentle Onoye with her SAN
dal-a most fragrant insult-and chal-
lenged her to combat with the sword
Onoye could not meet her rival be-
cause her common education had not
included instruction in fencing. The
insulted girl pondered long over her
inability to right her grievance. See
ing no way out of the difficulty she
killed herself.
The climax of the affair was the
prompt vengeance of OHaru. the spirit
ed maid of Onoye. Although a ser
want, OHaru was the daughter of
samurai and knew the art of self-de-
Tense. She publicly returned the in
suit Iwafuji had visited upon her mis-
tress and disarmed her in the sword
bout which followed. When the par
ticulars of the fatal quarrel reached
the ears of the daimio, he rewarded
the plucky OHaru by appointing her
to the position of her dead mistress.
The saying goes in Japan that one
had better nourish dog than an I'M
faithful servant. Loyalty to the
masters honor is expected of all who
serve, consequently the interference of
o Haru was warranted and her reward
justified.
