 An attempt which promises to be successful, is making to transform Saratoga into a winter resort. It is cold as Greenland's icy mountains in winter-thermome 20 below some times. but the air is pure and still, and It Is now fashions fetching fad to fre- quent freezing places.

We thought in real truth the murmur was the sound of the sea that the shells had brought with them across the land. They had been given to our mother by some relatives who had been to Cape May and brought the pretty, softly sounding things away as souvenirs. Cape May was even great CT than Newport is now. when those pink shells were picked up on the sands.

Musical Names 0e IndIane s0und
 RldlcuIous When Translnted.
 Lawrence (Kan.) Journal
 Many of the Indian students shortly after their arrival at Haskell Institute ask Superintendent Peairs to change their names, as the English translation is often ridiculous and a source of con stant humiliation to its bearer. Many of the musical sounding names of the various tribes are utterly silly when translated Into a different tongue.
 Strike-in- the Face, Feather-in- His Hat. Tobacco-in- His Pipe and Hears With -His-Ears are good illustrations. young Indians sometimes object.
 The question of Indian nomenclature Is getting to ba a serious one with the ous changes made by the Indians In their names. When the Indian enters the school he is given n school name which Is usually 8 translation of his ridiculous. This name he usually re- tains all his life in spite Of the fact that he holds his allotted lands in am other name probably spoiled in nve
 The troubles of the department along this line are also increased by the fact that no two members of the same fam fly keep the family name.
 The department has awakened to tho fact that on account of the indifferent attention given by the Indians to tho naming of their children there will be serious complications in a few years when the settling of large estates be- comes necessary on account of death of the founders of the families. Legal disputes over relationships and inherit tance are already becoming numerous and the mix-up over the inherited 1anda of the 1ndians will be a very serious problem the department will be forced to face in the near future.
 Although no legislation to the effect has taken place, strenuous effort is being made at the present time to mako the children of one family all retain the family name.

Now American wo- men who swim in the great sea must shut themselves in shoes and stock ings and even corsets, and the fashion of bathing suits changes only once less often in year than the fashion of sleeves. Maybe high heels have made such havoc with the shape of woman's feet that they are ashamed to show these any more.

A sensational incident in connection
with the funeral of Gen. Joseph
Wheeler recently in Washington be-
came known through the members of
wheeler's camp of cavalry of Atlanta,
who attended the funeral, and is
voucbed for by Gen. A. J. West, who
headed the delegation.
It is declared that upon the bier
only the flag of the United States
rested, and that the war department
nositively refused to allow the placing

SHORT TERM CoNvICrs WORST.

Life Prisoners Most Always without
Previous Criminal Record.
Superintendent of the prison of New
York state gives some interesting con-
illusions in his annual report Most
short-term cOnvicts, he says, have
long criminal records, while life pris-
oners are nearly always without pre-
viouS criminal record. Not per cent
of the life prisoners who have been lib
Grated in the state have committed a
crime. Nearly one in four life pris-
oners die in the first ten years of their
terms, and II per cent of them go era
zy. The most serious crimes, he
thinks, are committed by persons who
are temporarily unbalanced mentally
by passion or intoxicants, but who are
not morally crooked.

NO CONFEDERATE FLAG WAS ALLOWED
No Emblem Was Permitted at the Burial OF Genera
WheeIer's Remains Appealed to Roosevelt in Vain

Veterans noticed the incident, and
appealed to the army officers in
charge. The funeral was under the
direction of the war department. The
officers declined to give satisfaction,
and they made a personal appeal to
the president, who in turn referred
them to the department.
The incident of not having con-
federate flag on the bier created quite
a commotion in Washington among
the veterans attending the last sad
rites, and has caused no little quiet
talk since.

EUGENE MORE COMMITS SUICIDE
Weli-KnOwn Young Man of Albany
Ends His Life in Amencus.

Well-Kt1OWn Young Man of Albany
Ends His Life in AmerIcus.
Mr.. j. Eugene Moore, manager in
Americas for Clark & Co., cotton
brokers, committed suicide in his room
at the Windsor hotel at O'Clock
Wednesday morning by shooting out
his brains with a revolver. Moore
went to his Office before Q O'Clock and
attended to some business and return
ed to the hotel. When bell boy went
to call him later he was found beside
, the bed, partially dressed, with re-
volver in his hand. The bullet entered
his brain and death was instantaneous.
No one in the hotel or outside heard
the shot fired.
Moore was 26 years old and his
home was always in Albany. He was
married, his wife being Miss Hattie
Terry, formerly of Dawson, and one
of three letters found upon the dresser
was addressed to her. He was an
affable yOung man of pleasing address
and much esteemed. The remains were
sent to Albany for interment.
Just what it was that induced the
rash act is mere surmise. The AL
bany Herald says it has been stated
that domestic troubles had weighed
on his mind, but nothing of authori-
tive information on this point is to OBJ
tanned. Mrs. Moore has been making
her home in Atlanta for some time.

mayor and council of Dawson, do
most heartily endorse the efforts now
being made to secure such accommo-
dations as the business given these
roads and the size and Importance of
our city justly, fairly and equitably
entitle it to-"
Alderman Jennings said he did not
believe the depot situation would be
improved any time soon, and Alder
man Baldwin remarked that he had
. always received his freight, and when
ever he wanted to go off on the cars he
had no trouble in doing SO. There
was no opposition to the resolution
and it was adopted and the city's Off
cial endorsement given the movement.
ANOTHER BIG BOND ISSUE.
A resolution to submit to the voters
of the city the question of issuing
bonds to the amount of S25, 900 for 3
sewerage system was offered.
The vote on this question resulted
in tie, as follows:
Ayes: Aldermen Dean, Hill and
Whitchard.
Nays: Aldermen Baldwin, Petty
and Jennings.
Mayor Mercer voted for the resOlu-
ton, and the election will therefore be
called. 1t is proposed to hold it on
the 18th of April.
WILL SPRINKLE THE STREETS.
The petition by merchants that
the city pay the expenses of operating
the street sprinkler was favorably act
ed upon, though there was some Oppo-
sition to it. Aldermen Hill, Witch
ard and Baldwin voted for the city to
do the sprinkling, and Aldermen Pet
ty and Jennings against it. Alder
man Dean had been called away, and
was not present.
BRIDGE CAUSED DIVISION.
A motion to erect bridge over the
stream near the limits of the city on
the Graves road caused considera BILE
discussion and developed some OPP
position, but it was passed. Bids for
building the bridge will be re-
ceived by Alderman Jennings, chair
man of the street committee.
WILL BUILD NEW GUARD HOUSE.
The question of new city prison
restored harmony, and caused the
dove of peace to hover around.
The committee appointed to confer
with the county commissioners report
ed that a lot 24x36, on the northwest
corner of the jail yard, could be
bought for 5000, which it was unani-
mously decided TO do. A two-story
brick guard house will be erected, the
upper story to be used by the mayor
as a court room.
NEW NEGRO SCHOOL HOUSE.
Mayor Mercer reported that he had
secured an option from Mrs. D. S.
Fargason on the old Leonard lot on
Main street, and recommended that 1t
be purchased as a site for new ne
gro school house. He was authorized
by the council to close the deal with
Mrs. Fargason for 5000. The old
court house will be moved to the lot,
repaired and used for the colored
school.
MINIMUM RATE ABOLISHED.
Upon motion of Alderman Dean the
minimum rate of S1.25 month for
electric lights was abolished, and
hereafter consumers will pay only for
what lightthey actually use. The me-
ter rent of Is cents a month will
continue to be charged.
The electric light committee was in
structed to investigate the ADVISABLE
ty of putting on a day current and re-
port at the next meeting OF the
council.

The hens have been getting so busy
that the fruit which their peculiar and

A great big slump in the egg market,
due to big surplus on hand, is the
reason, and the coy and reluctant egg,

The recent term of the Circuit Court
was short one, having finished its
business Friday.
The civil docket was continued al
most wholly, there being no cases of
importance or interest tried. The
criminal docket had no cases of impor-
lance, a number of cases for gaming
and like misdemeanors, being submit
ted and fines assessed. The Grand
Jury found only about 40 indictments
this time, not one being for gaming.
This is in marked contrast to the former

100 indictments. The Grand Jury's
