Atlanta Importing Servants.

There is movement on foot to bring 100
German girls to. Atlanta in the hope Of remedy
Ing the present servant problem which has
developed into Of the most serious ques-
lions OF the day.
The first party of these white servants is
expected to arrive In Atlanta in the next few
days.
These directly interested in this proposition
of bringing these German girls from Chicago
refuse to say anything regarding their plans.
and have tried to KEEP the matter as quiet
possible. They claim that too much pub
licity Is liable to defeat the ends OF what is
hoped may bring relief Also. it would mean
cooks and chambermaids leaving them with
out moments notice.
The movement is being made by a com.
mittee OF several business and professional
men in Atlanta They are doing this at the
request OF tiIeir wives, who have tried to
solve the servant problem IL exists In
Atlanta with the means to be found here.
But they claim that patience has ceased to
be virtue, -
It Is reported tina. the wages paid these
German girls will be from to S. and a
few $50 and 4d Most of these German
servants. however, do the work of two negro
servants, and do not consider stealing as a
perquisite.-Atlanta Constitution

Too Much Bustle in Bowdoin.

At some public exercise in the college
hall OF Bowdoin. In years gone by, says
the Boston Herald. a stylishly dressed
young woman took her seat in the front
row OF the gallery, and gave her undf-
vtded attention to picking out her best
man in the crowd below. This was be-
fore the days of the "don't-you-
snap" fasteners. and in sitting. her drap-
cries became SO disarranged as to disclose
to view dress distender " primitive
make, viz, a little roll stuffed with saw
dust.
An alert "fresflie" conceived the iden
OF reducing the size OF this by thrust
Of his penknife which caused quite u
ripple OF excitement among his con-
freres. President Goodwin annoyed at the
disturbance, arose from his seat on the
platform and remarked severly: There
Is too much hustle in the gallery"
THAT is just what we are trying to
prevent, SIR" replied the audacious fresh
man.

URGENT WRIT IS SERVED.
COUNTESS DE cAsTELLANE IN
TENDS TO SECURE DIVORCE
AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

+ "a Z ~ . sa- : j ~ Z. ras
Paris, Feb 17.-An urgent" writ
has been served on Count Boni de
Castellane making him defendant in
the separation proceedings Of his wife,
formerly Anna Gould. This decisive
step was taken after renewed efforts
to effect a reconciliation had proved
fruitless. The count accepted service
of the writ, even calling upon the
countess lawyers to facilitate fixing
upon a place where the writ could be
delivered. The bill of complaint was
filed at the same time. 1t follows
very closely the countess prilna facie
showing when she first asked the
courts permission to take action
against. her husband It mentions no
names. but particularized certain Incl
dents i'll which the count is alleged to
have participated and it asks for a
decree for what the French law terms
separation OF body and property"
meaning complete marital separation
without a dissolution of the bonds of
matrimony. The court holds the bill
of complaint in the strictest secrecy,
but the foregoing are the essential
features of it's contents. It can be
stated with absolute positiveness, now
that the countess has formally inau-
gurated her action, that it is her inten-
tion to secure a decree at the earliest
date possible The count will not con-
test the granting of decree.

COPENHAGEN IN MOURNING
THOUSANDS VIEW FUNERAL PRO
cESSIoN OF LATE KING
CHRISTIAN.

Copenhagen, Feb. 17.-The body Of
King Christian was removed from the
Christianborg church here during the
day to the cathedral at Roskilde,
where it will be buried Sunday among
the tombs of the Danish kings, who
for a thousand years have found their
last resting place in the ancient cap
ital of the kingdom. The whole of
Copenhagen was given up to mourn
ing. Business and work were at a
standstill, while emblems of sorrow
were displayed everywhere. The enor-
in black, swelled by thousands OF ar
rivals from the country districts,
thronged the square in front of the
Christianborg church and the route
thence to the railway station from
early morning, standing patiently for
hours in order to pay a last tribute to
the dead monarch.
Shortly before noon the kings Of
Denmark, Greece and Norway, Queen
Alexandra, the dowager empress Of
Russia and other royal relatives OF the
deceased and the representatives of
foreign sovereigns reached the Chris
tianborg church, where brief service
was held, at the conclusion of which
the coffin, covered with the Danish
standard, was borne high by naval ard
military officers to the waiting hearse.
Then, headed by infantry and cavalry,
a simple cortege was formed and slow
ly proceeded through the three and a
half miles Of streets between the
church and the railroad station. The
procession was closed with carriages
bearing the male members of royal
families represented at the funeral,
the ladies watching the departure of
the body from neighboring building.
The bells of all the churches were
tolled and minute guns were fired
from the arsenal throughout the prog
ress of the cortege and until the coffin
was placed on the funeral train.

Alertness Of the Trains Crew Prevents
Disaster.

Binghampton,8N. Y, Feb. 17.-Jos-
eph Leslie, a locomotive engineer on
the Susquehanna division of the Erie
railroad, was found dead at his post
at Wellsburg. No damage was done
because of the alertness OF the trains
crew. Leslie, who was engineer of a
fast freight train, reached out of the
cab at Corning to catch orders handed
to him on ring when his head struck
some projection and presumably he
was instantly killed. Passing through
Elmira his lifeless body hung out of
the engine cab, the head striking SEM
aphores and gates, blood being: spilled
all along the tracks Thestowermen
at Elmira noticed something wrong
from the fact that the freight was then
running at the rate of mile a minute
and they cleared the track ahead. The
conductor made his way over the train
and set the airbrakes. The fireman
was not aware of the death of the en-
gineer until Wellsburg was reached,

MAY OCCUPY A WEEK.
Miners Committee Formulating De-
mands in Detail.

New York, Feb. 1.-THE anthracite
pointed at the joint conference be-
tween the coal operators and the un-
ions special committee, have begun
the work OF formulating in detail the
propositions which have already been
presented in general form to the en-
ployers. The task is an arduous one
and it probably will be at least week
before the committee will have it's re-
port in shape for submission to the
sub. committee Of seven appointed by
the operators. In the meantime there
is likely to be no development in the
situation, as the operators will not be
able to make a movement until they
learn specifically what the mine work
ers will demand.
Besides meeting with the sub-com-
mittee President Mitchell will look
after the general work of the miners
organization. He is receiving daily
reports from various fields, including
the PittsDurg district. So faG as can
be learned the situation in the Cen
trai competitive bituminous. field with
relation to the deadlock on the ques-
tion OF an increase in wages in that
territory remains unchanged. 1t is
understood, however, that influences
are at work in an endeavor to bring
about an agreement before April L,

Workers in the Central district ex-

DOLAN LOSES
HIS SITUATION
President of The Pittsburg District
' Miners Ousted by Unanimous
Vote.
LIVELY SCENES AT THE CONVENTION

Pittsburg, Feb. I.-Delegates at
tending the Pittsburg district miners
convention unanimously adopted a
resolution declaring the offices of pres
ldent and vice president of the Pitts
burg district vacant. President Dolan
presided at the days session and re-
fused to entertain the resolution, but
it was passed nevertheless. The dele
gates at once notified President John
Mitchell, now in. New York, of their
action and it Is expected he will ap.
point men to fill the two offices some
time during the day
There was much disorder in the
hall when the resolution was intro
duced, Vice President Lewis and Sec
retary Treasurer Dodds appealing for
a fair and square deal"
It grew more uproarious when Pres
ident Dolan ruled the resolution out
of order and eliminated in scene of
wild excitement when the delegates
voted unanimously for its adoption.
President Dolan arose in the midst of
the turmoil and reiterated his pre-.
vious declarations that he would never
resign nor would he be ousted unless
by referendum vote Of the miners of
the Pittsburg district who elected him
their leader
According to the attorneys for the
delegates the action taken by their
clients is not in opposition to the tenn
porary injunction secured recently by
President Dolan. When the hearing
on the Injunction proceedings was held
last Wednesday an agreement was
reached between counsel for both sides
that parliamentary rules were to be
observed during {, the remaining ses-
sions of the sconY nYention and that bust
ness was to progress as though there
was no injunction. The attorneys
state the courts order protects Presi-
dent Dolan from personal violence, but
does not interfere with the transac-
tion of business.

Iowa Liquor Dealer Sues for Money
Paid Brewing Company.


Webster City, Ia, Feb. 17.-Attor-
ney George E. Clark of Algona has
begun suit for j. G. Mcnamara of EN-
metsburg against the Val Blatz Brew
Ing company of Milwaukee for sum
aggregating 100000. The judgment
asked is for the recovery Of money
paid to the Milwaukee concern for
beer shipped on the plaintiffs order
to Emmetsburg
The case is probably the most pc.
culiar, as well as the only one of it's
kind, ever brought in the state of
Iowa 1t is brought under the section
OF the code of this state which pro-
vides that when money is paid for in
toxicating liquors shipped into the
state the money SO paid shall be con-
sidered in the nature of a loan to be
repaid on demand.
Other similar actions have been
started in Iowa. but the defense has
always been that the laws of the state
OF wisconsin governed the transac-
ton because payment for the goods
was made in Milwaukee In the Nc
Namara case, however, payments were
made at Emmetsburg on the com
pany's drafts.
