Paul Jones' Costumes,

"Paul JONES'" says a writer, was
portrayed in every costume that
pirate could be expected to Easque-
rade in and his whiskers were Of
the longest, blacklist and curliest.
He is portrayed in all degrees, from
the sardonic gentleman cut-throat to
the blood-and-wounds Bill Bowline
type of tar, but always with as much
sofa-pillow stufing as possible. One
portrait presents him in a neat Mill
tia uniform, something like that OF
the time of the Mexican war, and
with the pattern of whiskers after
ward known to fame as 'Burnsides.
There seems to be one point of accur-
acy in all these pictures il they are
of the three-Qrarters or full length.
Jones is always represented with a
girdle full Of pistols, habit of dress
to which he was accustomed.

A Bio Loan That Failed.

Vienna, June 1.-Again Russian
lean has failed. According to intelli-
gence from St. Petersburg, received
in financial circles here. negotiations
were proceeding quite lately with the
same syndicate Of Paris banks which.
three months ago, broke of ne5o1la-
ticns just when they were to sign a
loan Of 6O0,O00,O00f., (e24,OO0,0oo),
namely, the Credit Lyonnais, Comp
toir d'Esccmpte, and the BanIue de
Paris. The renewed negotiations this
time had also reached final stage,
and a 5 per cent. six-nundred-million
franc loan had been agreed to On the
original basis, namely. Treasury bills
with eight years currency, OF which
the syndicate was to take over 4OO,-
OO0, 0,OoOf., and 2CO,OO0,000f. on option.
All was ready and the signing fixed
for May 80. The news Of the naval
overthrow marred the contract, and
again the banks refused to sign, hav-
ing gained the conviction that, even
at this hopeless stage Of the war, the
Car and the Grand Dukes by no
means intended to make peace.-From

fneS or crescent CITY.
Monday night Mayor Behrman is
sued a proclamation to the people Of
New Orleans, urging them to heed
the advice of the health authorities,
relative to sanitation OF their premi-
ses and calling special attention to
the necessity Of screens in houses

toes. This proclamation was signed
by the president of the state board
of health, president Of the city boarl
of health, Surgeon VICE of the ma
rine service and the advisory commit
tee of the New Orleans parish medl-
cal society.
At 2 meeting of the state board Of

detailed statement CT the situation.
This will include an official statement

claimed quarantine against the Whole

THREE-C0RNERED FRACAS
INDUCED in by Editor, Legislator and
Newspaper Reporter on Streets Of
Atlanta - No Damage Done.

Editor James R. Gray, of the Atlanta
Journal, and Representative Henry Fl
Revill, Of MeEwether county, met IN
a personal encounter in front of the
Capital City Club on Peachtree street
in Atlanta Monday afternoon.
The difficulty was the sequel to j
statement made by Mr.. Revill in the
house Of representative Monday morn
ing, in which he attacked Mr.. Gray
and his paper because Of an editorial
published a day or two previously
attacking Mr.. Revill on account of
certain questions asked On the floor
of the house during the debate On
the anti-pass bill, in which Mr.. Gray's
name figured.
Learning what Mr.. Revill had said
upon the floor of the house, Mr.. Gray
had a message teiephoned from the
Capital City Club TO Mr.. Revills ho-
tel to the effect that scme one Wlshel
to see him at the club.
In response to this message Mr..
Revill started across the street from
the hotel, and as he reached the side
walk in front of the Capital City CLUB,
he was confronted by Mr.. Gray. Ne;-
ther man knew the other positively,
and there was brief preliminary con-
versation, followed by decidedly
lively encounter which was fought all
the way from the sidewalk up to the
club veranda.
The difficulty, which lasted for sew
eral minutes, attracted large crowds,
both from the members Of the CLUB
who gathered upon the veranda, and
the rassersby who collected on both
sides of the street.
AS in all matters Of this kind, there
are two versions of the dispute be-
tween the two gentlemen. According
to statements of eye-witnesses, how
ever, Mr.. Gray, upon meeting Mr..
Revill, asked question to make pos
tive that be was the right man, and
then struck him.
Mr.. Revill, it is stated, then drew
pistol, wnereupon Mr.. Gray closed IN
upon him, preventing his using it. In
this way they struggled, it is said,
from the sidewalk clear back to the
railing Of the club veranda, where
Milt Saul, an employee of The Jour-
nal, who ran across the street from
the Majestic, caught the pistol and
took it from Mr.. Revill's hand.
1t is stated that Mr.. Revill then
drew a knife, which was also taken
from him.
During ali this time several blows
were struck by the belligerents, it is
stated, and there was also an encou1-
ter between Mr.. Reyill and Mr.. Saul,
the latter striking the former in the
face. They were finally separated by
friends.
After the battle none Of the beilig-
erents looked as if ne had been in so
serious difficulty, as they bore no
marks of consequence upon their
faces.

BURGLARS in Paris catacombs.

Part of the catacombs of Paris be-
yond the Luxembourg have also been
invaded by burglars, who were on the
lookout, not for loot, but for skulls.
The thieves, four in number, did not
venture far into the subterranean
place Of the dead, as they were evil
dently afraid Of the labyrinths Of the
catacombs. They attacked the first
pile of bones which they saw, after
having effected an entrance, and car.
ried away several skulls. The four
:atacdmb burglars were arrested a1G
tried. They stated in the police
court that they wanted the skulls to
decorate the rooms of their lodgings.
In reality they proposed to sell them
to medical students. The four were
condemned to fines Of 25f. each, and
to terms of imprisonment.-London

TWO BOYS PLACED ON TRIAL.
Jesse and Leonard Rawlings Face Jury
in VaIdosta Court.

Jesse and Leonard Rawlings Face Jury
in Valdosta Court.
Interest in the Rawlings trial is still
deep and crowds attended the trial
of Jesse and Leonard at Vakos:a a
Monday, although there were not rs
many people in the city from the Ha-
hira neighborhood, where the crimes
were committed as previously.
Court convened at o'clock, and ii
was agreed between the state and the
defense to put both boys on trial at
the same time. It was found more
difficult to get a jury than in the
trial of Milton Rawlings, six panels of
twelve men each being exhausted be-
fore the last juryman was secured at
8 o'clock in the afternoon.
W. L. Carter. father of the children
whom the Rawlings boys are charged
with numbering. was the first witness
and gave about the same evidence he
did in the trial of Milton Rawlings.
He was on the stand for two hours,
and was subjected to a rigid cross
examination by Attorney Cooper.
Alf Moore, the confessed accomplice,
followed Carter on the stand. and was
up until 1870 p. M, when court ad-
iourned until Tuesday morning. The
negro related practically the same So
w he did on the trial of Milton RaWl-
ingS!

Feminine Guilt.

There are points on which the. fair
IS less scrupulous than the plain sex.
It is not easy to make them under
stand why they should not smuggle,
and few of them, indeed, refrain from
smuggling Tauchnitz editions Of popu'
lar books. They are stealing from
authors who may be needy authors.
Many a lady smuggles who would no
more tip her ball into better posi-
ton at croQuet than she would cut
throat or scuttle a ship.-AndreW

said the local manager Of a suburban
laundry. I'VE witness many amusing
occurrences. On Wednesday after
noon I received a telegram from one
of my regular patrons, from New

CHANGED HUSBAND.
Wife Made Wise Change in Food.

Change Of diet is the only way to
really cure stomach and>bowel trouble.
A woman says:
my husband had dyspepsia when we
were married and had suffered from 1t
for several years. 1t was almost I'M
possible to find anything he could eat
without bad results.
II thought this was largely due to
the use of coffee, and persuaded him TO
discontinue it. He did so. and began to
drink Postum Food Coffee. The change
did him good from the beginning, his
digestion improved; he suffered much
less from his nervousness, and when
he added Grape-Nuts food to his diet
he was soon entirely cured.
"3iy friend, Mrs. -7, OF Vlcks-
burg (my former home), had become a
nervous wreck also from dyspepsia.
Medicines had no effect, neither did
travel help her. On my last visit home,
some months ago, persuaded her to
use Grape-Nuts food. She was in de-
spair, and consented. She stuck to 1t
until it restored her health so COM
pletely that she is now the most enthu-
siast1c friend of Grape-Nuts that
ever knew. She eats it with cream or
dry. Just as 1t comes from the package
keeps it in her room and eats it When
ever she feels like it.
II began eating Grape-Nuts 1000 my
self when my baby was two months
old. ard I don't know what should
have done without it. My appetite was
gone. I was weak and nervous and al
forded but very little nourishment fof
the child. The Grape-Nuts food, OF
which I soon grew very fond, speedily
set all this right again. and the baby,
grew healthful, rosy and beautiful as a
mother could wish. He is TWO years
old now and eats Grape-Nuts food him
self. wish every tired young mother
knew of the good that Grape-Nuts
would do hsc."
