POPS IN BAD SHAPE.
Party Not In Condition to Put Out
 S te Ticket.

Atlanta. Ga, July 4.-Seventy-five representatives of the Peoples party of Georgia gathered here today, pur- suant to a call for State Convention, to name a State ticket. Eighteen minutes later the assembly adjourned to meet August 2s. six days after the date fixed for the Democratic State primaries. with the intention at that time of nominating a full State ticket A resolution expressing the reasons for the sudden action was adopted which was preceded by the following pre- amble:
 The condition of our party is such in this State we deem 1t unwise to name a ticket for Governor nd State House officials at this time; and
 We firmly believe that a majority of the white voters are opposed to or- ganized democracy as it is manifested by the executive committee of that party"

THE AMERICA AT BERMUDA.
Disabled American Liner Picked Up B;
 The Dtnmam0re.


 New York. July Conformation was received here today that the Fabre line steamer America, due to reach New York fourteen days ago from Marseilles and Naples, arrived at Der muda today in tow of the Italian steamship Dnnamare. All of her 110 passengers and crew were in good health. At the offices of the Fabre line in this city, 1t was said that the Americas passengers would be brought to New York on the first steamer leaving Bermuda for this port.
 The America was picked up on June 19, a short distance off the Azore Is- lands, in a disabled condition by the Dinnamare. She was flying signals of distress, her machinery being badly crippled, but from what cause the New York agents have not learned.
 It was also stated that the America was short of provisions and coal and would not have been able to reach port even had her machinery been in work ing order.

The New York Post publishes list of twenty important measures of leg islation which the President wanted en- acted and for which he had made spec aal pleas. Of these only six became laws The remainder were defeated. ignored. refused or went over. By way of comment The Post says:
 Such a large admixture of failure with success results partly. no doubt, from too ambitious a program No President eyer equalled Mir Roosevelt in the number of measures which he "earnestly asks Congress to pass at once; hence no other President has had to put up with so many outright re. fusals to budge. In one respect, how ever. Mir. Roosevelts failures have peculiar significance; In domestic leg islation he has had marked success; it Is only In his appeals In behalf of our island dependencies. and in connec- tion with the gorgeous dreams or a West Indian and Central and South American protectorate. that the Presi- dent las been repuised at every point.
 It is thus seen that some of the most important measures. from a national point of view, and upon which Mir. Roosevelt was most insistent failed to become laws. We think there can be no doubt that one great cause of falI- ure arose from the natural feeling Of resentment which the Congressmen, ana especially the Senators. felt at MT. Roosevelts attempt to dominate fhsm and to dictate to them in the mat ter of legislation. They objected to being pulled or driven, and showed 1t by refusing to obey orders. Will he heed the lesson7

OLD LEAP YEAR LAWS.

when Womea Proposed si1 Centuries
AGO the Man Had to Accept.
/ In two countries, at least, and more
than 900 years ago laws We're passed
which gave women the right Of propos-
Ing marriage. These enactments went
even farther than this. They also slip
ulated that II the man whose hand
they had sought should refuse he
should incur heavy fine.
A searcher among the ancient rec
ords OF Scotland discovered an act OF
the Scottish parliament, which was
passed In the year 1888, which runs as
follows:
III is statut and ordaint that during
the rein Of his maist blissit Megeste. ilk

shall be ;nulcted In We sum OF ane dun
dis or less, as his estait may be, except
md avis gif he can make 1t appeare
that he is betrothit ane ither woman.
he then shall be free"
Agar or two later law almost
similar to the Scottish enactment was
passed in France and received the APP
prevail OF the king. 1t is also said that
before Columbus sailed on his famous
| voyage to the westward a similar privi-
| legc was granted to the maidens of
! Genoa and Florence.
Il, There is no record extant of any
6nes imposed under the conditions of
this Scotch law and no trace of stats
| ties regarding the number of spinsters
who took advantage of it or Of the sim
! liar regulations iii France, but the Gus
| tom seems to have taken firm hold
isuponYthe popular mind about that time.
Il The next mention of 1t is dated nearly
/ 4 j4Doyyears later. and 1t is a curious little
/ treatise called Love, Courtship and
| Matrimony," which was published in
| London in 1906. In this quaint work.
the .privilege' is thus alluded to:
"AIbeit it now becomes a Fart Of the
4 common law in regard to social rela

teontinueth of making love either by

was one Of the unwritten laws of leap
year that IL man should decline a
proposal he should soften the disap-
4 pointment which his answer would
bring about by the presentation of a
