TIE GEORGIA LEGISLATURE AD-
JOURNS ALMOST IN A RIOT.
Torrent Of Abuse Poured on Head OF
Georgia's Chief Executive in the
Sessions Dying Hours, Because He
Went to Lobbying for Some Re-
form, Measure He Had Promised to
Give the People of the State.

Atlanta, Ca, August 18.-Almost
in riot the general assembly of
Georgia adjourned at O'Clock Sun
dav morning after being in continuous
session nearly 20 hours. The riotous
scenes were due to the hard fight it
was necessary to make to put through
measures which Gov Eoke Smith had
promised the people in his campaign
last year and to the presence Of the
governor the lobbies in the Interest
Of his measures. The governor was
forced to work in this way, or the
legislature would have adjourned
without enacting any Of the reform
legislations that he had promised.
The hardest fight was over the bill
Increasing the powers Of the railroad
cornnission and giving the governor
the right to appoint two more com,
,nissioners, Mus making its member
ship five instead Of three. At present
the commission is hostile to Gov.
Smith. He has only one man on it,
but he Will control it ynder the
measure which he forced through
This FIVE member provision provoked
the riot.
The house endorsed the provision,
but it was defeated in the senate at 3
o'clock this morning. Friends Of the
provision moved reconsideration. and
Gov. Smith got so busy with certain
senator's that reconsideration was or
dered and the provision saved by
vote OF - TO p.
Then the storm broke and sena-
tors began to denounce the governor
for lobbying. Attacking Gov. Smith,
senator Hayes said: Il have seen

ANTl.BRYAN SENTIMENT.

Washington, Dec. 12.-Members
OF the Democratic national commit
tee who were in this city, were
among the most interested of the
readers Of the announcement made
In this mornings papers that Mr.,
Roosevelt had reiterated his deter
mlnation not TO accept another
nomination for the presidency, and
while most of them were reserved
IN their comment, it was evident
from their manner that they saw
in it a favorable omen for their own
party.
Several Of them were frank
enough to express the opinion that
President Roosevelt could poll a
larger Democratic vote than any
other candidate, and their inference
was that with the president abso-
lutely out Of the race, the Demo-
cratic candidate would not only re-
cover the vote of his own party, but
would stand a better show of making
inroads upon the opposition.
AS a supporter Of Taft | am very
much gratifed that the statement
has been made" This was the re-
mark OF Senator Long, of Kansas,
who was an early White House cali
er today. Mr.. Long added that he
had always believed the presidents
former statement, and considered
that Mr.. Roosevelt had never con-
templated being a candidate again.
The presidents announcement has
given some stimulus to the anti
Bryan sentiment among the Demo
Gratis and especially Of the eastern
states, Several Of them declared
before the national committee went
into session that the presidents

chances, il an eastern man could be
chosen as the Democratic candidate,
and they mentioned especially the
names Of Lieut.. Gov, Chanler, Of

SIGNS OF LONG LIFE.
Physical Indications PerceptibIe to All
Who Know.

"In the medical world" said = we'll
known veteran doctor, 1T is a general
ly accepted fact that every person
bears physical indications of his pros
poets of long or short life. "A long
lived person may be distinguished
from a short lived person at sight. In
many instances a physician may look
at the hand Of patient and tel
whether he or she will live or not.
The primary conditions Of longevity
are that the heart, lungs and digestive
organs, as well as the brain, should
be large. If these Crganis are large
the trunk will be long and the limbs
comparatively short. The person will
appear tall In sitting and short IN
standing. The hand will have long
and somewhat heavy palm and short
fingers. The brain will be deeply
seated. as shown by the orifice OF the
ear being low. The blue or brown
hazel eye, as showing an intermission
Of temperament, Is favorable indica-
ton. The nostrils, II large, open and
free, indicate large lungs. A pinched
and half closed nostril indicates small
or weak lungs. These are general
points of distinction, but Of course sub
ject to the usual individual excep-
tons.

AND THEN SHE REMEMBERED.

stroll. Il was just wishing l might
meet you" he said, as he approached
her with the air Of one having at
least claim OF friendship on her. The
girl lifted her eyebrows and regarded
him with a surprised look in which
there was not the slightest hint Of
recognition. The man looked a little
more than surprised. In fact he looked
and was shocked. "Of course you
haven't forgotten" he said, in dazed
sort OF way. Forgotten WHAT" she
replied coldly. why last night-down
by the big rock-moon rise-soft muir
muir OF tide-don't you know?" Il
don't understand" she said, moving
away. "Why-er," he stammered, I'VE
became engaged down there last
night-tixed our wedding day-don't
you remember now?" A momentary
darkness o'erspread the sweet girls
face, then the light OF memory H.
lumined it. oh" she exclaimed pleas
antly how stupid OF me to forget SO
we did," And passed on.
