Changes in Charter

The board Of mayor and alder.
men have decided upon a number
of changes in the charter Of the city
of GAINESVILLE. At a meeting last
week all provisions which were out
of date or burdensome and obscure
were eliminated and many excellent
new features were Incorporated in
the new instrument. Among Other
things the new charter gives the
outgoing board the right to elect of.
ficers. This provision removes the
idea of electing aldermen and mayor
to vote for particular persons fol-
city officers. The board decided to
introduce a bill in the general as.
sembly authorizing the city to issue
$4,000 in bonds to improve the wa.
ter works system.

Hays brilliant
CAREER HAS CLOSED
Ill Health the Sole Cause of His
Determination to Retire to
Private Life.
The PRESIDENT Is CANVASSING
NAMES FOR WORTHY SUCCESSOR.
Among Those He Has In Mind Are
Joseph ii. ChOate, Former Ambas-
sadOr to the Court of st. James,
and whiteIaw Reid, Former Edi-
tor New York Tribune.

Washington, March 25.-It may be
stated on the best of authority that
Secretary of State Hay will not resume
his place in the cabinet on his return
from his present vacation.
His brilliant career as premier of the
Mckinley Roosevelt administrations
has practically come to close. Ill
health is the sole cause of his deter
mination to retire, and no one will re-
greet the severance Of the intimate per-
sonal and official relations that have
existed between them for the past five
years. more than President Roosevelt
himself.
1t was just prior to his departure
from Washington that Mr.. Hay ac-
quainted the president with his desire
to lay aside the state department folio.
| The president was unable to induce the
| secretary to reconsider his course, and
regretfully stated that if he were still
of the same mind on his return he
would accept his resignation.
The president Is now canvassing the
names of several eminent gentlemen
with view of asking one of them to
become Secretary Hays successor
Among others he has in mind are: Jo-
seph H. Choate, until recently United
States ambassador to the court of st
James, and Whitelaw Reid, editor Of
the New York Tribune, who has just
been appointed to succeed Mr.. Choatt
at London.
1t has been well known to Secretary
Hays close personal and officia
friends that his health has rapidly
failed during the last few months, re
sulting from the strain of overwork
they have hoped that few weeks com
plete rest, with change of air ant
scene, would enable him to recover AM
resume his place at the head of tn,
state department.
That hope has now been abandoned
While there is no fear of a fatal ter
mination of his present sickness. it i
realized that the secretary's active par
ticipation in public affairs has come t,
an end.

The Senate and House balloted for
United States senator. Frazier re-
ceived rs votes in the Senate, against

the vote was n to II.
The Senate rejected a resolution
refunding to A. C. Miller, of Sparta,
money paid for a saloon license just
prior to the enactment of the Adams
law. The resolution ELECTED consid-
cradle debate, its opponents contend
ing that if the Miller claim were al
lowed it would open the gates to
numerous other claims OF the same
character Mr., Garrett contended
that the State could not afford to pay
the claims because 1t was as neces
sary for the State to be honest with
its citizens as it was for the citizens
to be honest with the State. The vote
to reject was 10 to 9.
The Senate bill reducing and equal
izing the number of challenges in
criminal cases was rejected after con
siderable debate, the vote for rejec
ton being 55 to 20.
The bill regulating telephone
charges, introduced in the House
by Messrs. Peay, Kingree and viii
liams, provides sliding scale O
charges according to the number O
telephones in operation. For ex
changes of 500, business telephones
are to be not over $3.50 and resi-
dence telephones SIPS; for ex
changes of under 1000 the charges
are $2.75 and $3.50; 1000, SO ant

EnIoe Wants More Money.

B. A. Enloe, former secretary Of
the Worlds Fair Commission, last
week addressed the senate finance,
ways and means committee on the
need Of $4,000 appropriation for
the commission to wind up its af-
fairs and locate the Tennessee ex4
hibit. He said the marble grotto
borrowed from Knoxville had been
damaged in transit, and $3.50 was
needed to replace it, which the State
had contracted to do. Other out
standing claims and preserving the
exhibit would run the sum up to
$4,000. The Nashville Park Com
mission, he said, had rendered the
use of the parthenon for the exhibit.
Chattanooga also wanted the ex-
hibit.

to appropriate $4,000 annually there
for; also to prevent the dismissal or
abatement of suits brought by origi-
nal summons or warrants and counter
part summons or warrant against COM
mon carriers of freight.
The bill to appropriate $4,000 per
annum for ten years to the Peabody
School for teachers was amended
so as to require the trustees to pro-
tect the interest of all the people Of
the State in the distribution Of the
fund and do away with one free
scholarship to each senatorial district.
Passed unanimously as amended.

Convention Hall Packed With
Enthusiastic Crowd.
Commentator of the "MysteriOus
Strangers" Representative.

Kansas City, Mo-, March 25.-Con-
vention hall was packed, at night,
by an audience which met to ratify the
election of Maj. William Warner, of
this city, to the United States senate.
The audience was composed not only
Of Kansas Cityans, but of admirers Of
the new senator from all parts of Mis-
souri,, Kansas, Oklahoma and the In
dian territory. The meeting was non
partisan, democrats being as euthusi-
astic as republicans in paying tribute
to Maj. Warner.
Among the speakers were ex-Con-
gresham John c. Tarseny and United
States Judge John f. Philips, who were
extravagant in their praise of their old
political enemy. John G. Mckinley,
acknowledgements of Missouri, and
David w. Hill, speaker of the Missouri
house of representatives, were among
the speakers who were in great favor
with the audience.
Maj. Warner, the last speaker, was
given an ovation when he arose to
speak. The great audience stood up
and cheered, shouted and waved flags
for fully ten minutes before the SEN
ator-elect could proceed with his
speech. Convention hall had been
specially decorated for the occasion
and the interior presented scene OF
| rare beauty. The programme was in
