BACHELORS PROVE.
ELUSIVE BEASTS

An Americas maiden, who has hung
up her thin, long, swordlike s-g
thirty-five times at Christmas, was
asked to write her estimate of bache-
Tors for the club" and at the meet
ing a day or two ago handed in the
following: Bachelors" she wrote
can be found running at large in
many parts of the world. They inhab-
it apartments, clubs, open fields, bod
les of water and music halls. They
are also seen behind the scenes. They
live at times near front gates, and
have been found in back parlors with
the aid of a searchlight. Bachelors
are nomadic by nature and variable in
their tastes, never going with one
girl long enough to be dangerous.
Bachelors make love easily, but rare
ly keep it. Rich bachelors are hunt
ed openly and shamelessly and are
always in great danger Those who
finally escape are, as a rule, useless
ever afterwards"

ALL EXPOSITION
STAMPS ARE GONE
Americas Anticipates Dis
continuance of Sale Dec. /

Postage stamps issued on account OF
the jamestown Exposition will not
be on sale after Dec 1. WThis will not
affect the Americas office, which has
already disposed of all of its sup
ply of the Exposition issues. In or
der to get rid of these stamps be-
fore the limit for their sale expired,
the Americas office has been selling
this kind almost exclusively until
they were exhausted some three
weeks ago. This will obviate the
necessity of making a return of the
stamps unsold and cuts out consid-
cradle red tape which accompanies
such an operation.
In some postoffices of the state the
officials have not been so fortunate in
winding up their stocks. AS the
Government does not allow bargain
sales at reduced rates the only way
to get rid of the stamps is to offer
them to every applicant for pos
tage The stamps will Of course be
good for use at any time in the flu
ture, but will not be on sale after
Dec. /.

MIKADO'S MESSAGE
TO HAWAIIAN JAPS
Tended to Increase InSe.
Curity of Americans.

HONOLULU, Nov. 12.-(SpeciaD -
Should an emergency arise, offer
yourselves courageously to your be-
loved country and thus guard and
maintain the prosperity of our i'm
perial throne"
These are the words with which
the Emperor of Japan, in his birth
day message, saluted the 100000 of
his subjects in the Hawaiian Islands.
1t has caused no little comment
throughout the islands, and even the
more tolerant of American citizens
are asking what the Mikado refers
to when he alludes to a possible en-
Urgency The presence of a great
body of Japanese in the islands, a
population which is rapidly increas-
ing, is regarded here as a source of
danger in case of war between the
United States and Japan, and the adj
dress of the Emperor had not added
to the feeling of security.
The fact that many who have come
during the past two years are veter-
ans of the RussO-Japanese war, and
insist upon instilling a feeling of
fealty among the older Japanese, is
regarded as a menace.
The reading of the Mikado's pro-
clamation from a thousand plat
forms has been the signal for the
greatest display of fireworks in the
history of Hawaii. Americans have
never before seen the Japanese show
such enthusiasm and excitement.

FUNERAL OF MRS. BACON
LARGELY ATTENDED
Beloved Lady of Albany
Passes Away.

Mrs E. D. Sheffield returned yes
terday from Albany where she has
been for some time, called there
by the critical illness of her mother,
Mrs. Wallace W. Bacon. This estima-
BILE lady passed away Sunday, the
funeral services taking place Mon
day afternoon.
And in her death Albany loses one
of its purest, noblest christian wo-
men, one beloved by all and whose
death is indeed deplored.
Mrs. Bacon's condition had been
critical since her illness began, though
at times her Improvement was of
a nature as lead to the hope that
She was to be spared to her family
and friends who waited anxiously for
tidings from the sick room
Gradually, however, Mrs. Bacons
condition grew worse, and it was
realized on Saturday that the end
could not be much longer delayed.
During her illness Mrs. Bacon man
ifested that spirit of Christian forti-
tude which had sustained her dur
ing her life No complaint escaped
her, and she bore the pain as calmly
and unprotestingly as she had ac-
cepted whatever lot or fortune life had
brought her.
Mrs. Bacon had been a Good Sam
aritan to SO many, and her gentle
hand had cooled so many fevered
brows among the sick and lowly that
by many she was looked upon as
yeritable ministering angel of mercy.
She was unselfishness itself when
the wants or the sorrows of others
were considered.
She was foremost in church and
charitable work, and her legacy to
loved ones, friends and acquaintance
is beautiful life whose example will
never be forgotten I

PEACEFUL VALLEY"
AGA IN PRESENTED
Sol Smith RusSeII's Pas.
tOrdI Idy.

The announcement of a revival OF
Peaceful Valley" the delightful pas
toral idyl in which the late Sol Smith
RUSSELL quaint and lovable actor, scor-
ed his greatest triumph, has created
widespread interest and attention
throughout the country and the ambi-
tious efforts of the management have
already met with popular approval
wherever the play has been presented.
Edward Saxon, the player who is
essaying Russells original role of
Hosea Howe, is a character of intelli-
gence and imagination who invests
the role with quality of mellow low
ableness which is in keeping with the
spirit of the play The character Of
this rather gawky country boy who is
working his way through college and
who has all the inherent instincts of
the true gentleman under his rough
exterior, is not an easy one to por-
tray, but Mr.. Saxon has proven him
self equal to every emergency and
deity blends pathos and comedy with
mastery skill.
The supporting company contains
the names of a number of well-known
OPOii'dh prayers lHCiuulLS IHdC
OF Carson Bradford, a young society
man from Nashville who has recently
gone upon the stage Mr.. Bradford
plays the leading juveline role in the
play and plays it with such refresh
ing bouyancy and charm that he has
received almost as favorable mention
as Mr.. Saxon throughout the country.
The play is deliberately mounted
and the atmosphere of the quiet and
peaceful valley in which the action
takes place is illusively suggested. 1t
will be presented at Glovers Opera
House on Tuesday evening, Nov 10.

general

in honor of the departed dead Reso-
lutions will be presented on the death

BRADLEY TRIAL
HAS BEEN BEGUN

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 49,
(SpeciaD Criminal Court No. L. of
the District of Columbia was filled
to overlooking with spectators, among
whom were numerous women, when
Justice Stafford took. his seat on the
bench yesterday and the bailiff
raped for order. The presence of
the crowd of idle onIookers was due
to the fact that the first on the docket
was that of Mrs. Annie M. Bradley,
whose trial for murder, in connection
with the death of former Senator Ar
thur M. Brown of Utah, last Deem
Der, will undoubtedly be the staple of
conversation i'm Washington for
some weeks to come An eminent
array Of counsel for both sides were
on hand ready to proceed with the fa-
nous case.
No murder case here in years, none
in fact since the famous murder trial
of Mrs. Beaunfsne nearly a decade
ago, has excited such deep interest as
has been excited in'the trial that has
now commenced
The dragging in the name of Mrs
Annie Adams, mother of Maude Adams,
the acrtess, has also whetted the pub
lie appetite for further details of
the case. Mrs. Adams is expected to
be one of the principal witnesses. She
has told friends that she is anxious
to testify if for no other reason than
to clear the name of the dead Sena-
tor, to whom it is said she was en-
gagged.
1t is now nearly year since the
tragedy occurred in the Hotel Raleigh,
where the Senator was shot in his
apartments by Mrs. Bradley after a
stormy interview. At the Emergency
Hospital, where he fingered between
life and death for several days, Sen
ator Brown steadfastly refused to
talk and refused all the importunit-
les of the police to make a statement
of the affair.

AN UNJUST ORDER

1t has been source of some sur
prise to the Times-Recorder to note
the attitude Of some of the daily and
weekly press on the action of the
Georgia Railroad Commission in issu-
ing an order that newspapers and
railroads may not exchange commo-
dities, such as advertising space and
transportation.
AS for the Times Recorder, this pa
per is not in the hero-worship bust
ness. The old maxim that the
king can do no wrong" does not bind
the present enlightened age
1t is reported that H. E, Harman,
/ President of Southern Trade Press as
ISOLATION, has written letter to the
Railroad Commission indicating his
intention to fight the order in the
courts. This is a practical method of
determining the powers of the Rail
road Commission to enforce such an
order
The Times Recorder suggests that
the newspapers of the state get toge-
Their and contribute to a fund to make
test case. We do not believe that it
is good law and are quite sure that
it is not common sense.
To say that one company or indi-
yidual shall not exchange commodities
with another company or individual is
an indefensible proposition on the
face of it. The principle of barter is
more ancient than human govern
ment.
In times of money stringency like
the present he who would seek to
curtail an eXhange Of commodities in
lieu of a cash transaction, can we'll be
regarded as a public enemy The is
suance of clearing house certificates
by nearly every town and city in Geor-
gia is an effort to facilitate the ex-
change of commodities by providing
a larger circulating medium. Every
exchange of the commodities them
selves tends to the same end and
should be encouraged.
As long as the weekly and daily
press of the state sit supinely by
and accept passively a blow at their
or--worse than that-fawns
over the commission in a grin and
bear it" amnner, relief cannot be OBJ
tanned.
The Times-Recorder hereby pledges
Itself to lend a hand, both in lawful |
of the United States, and |
through it's columns, to the bringing
IF test case to the end that the Or
Ter of the Railroad Commission pro-
libiting the exchange of advertising
and transportation between a news
paper and a railroad be declared ultra
1ires. Are there others?
