NEXT TUESDAY THE DAY
When Final Vote On Prohibition Win
Be Taken in Georgia House.

1
Atlanta, Ga, July 25.--Georgis's
prohibition bill now pending before
the lower house, viii be made the
special order Of business for Tuesday,
July so, and a final vote vii be taken
that day. This agreement was reach
ed in the house today following the
iHbustsring tactics Of the minority,
which ended at II o'clock last night
after nearly fourteen hours Of erclt-
ing maneuyers, when adjournment
was prscipitated by a personal en-
counter between two prominent men,
ners Of the house. The order, which
was adopted BY unanimous consent,
practically cuts of all further flibus-
tering on the floor of the house; It
provides that the bin shall be placed
on its third reading Immediately after
reading the journal next Tuesday;
that both sides shall be given equal
time for discussing the bill and the
amendments that may be submitted;
thatNall amendments shall be on the
speakers desk by 1880 o'clock and
that the vote shall be taken at 4
O'Clock without further motion or de-
bate. It further provides that the
galleries shall be kept cleared Of all
visitors during the tendency Of the
bill. With a majority Of nearly four
hfths fayoring the bill, which has al
ready been passed by the senate, and
with Governor Smith pledged to sign
the bill when it shall be passed, pro-
hibitiOn in Georgia appears to be a
foregOne conclusion.

NATION LAST NIGHT.
Showed to a Good Audience Despite
the Bad Weather.

Notwithstanding the rain and the
extreme heat Of yesterday. there was
a good crowd out last night to see
Mat1oni do his wonderful feats in
shaekles. cuffs, straight jacket, etc.
Quite a number were rather skepti-
cal when they went out, but before
the show had fairly begun, the en-
tertainer had his audience with him
and nothing but good" was heard
from every one. No one expressed
disappointment. On the contrary
everybody seemed delighted with this
clean and entertaining show. Some
Of the feats performed we're wonder
full to SAY the least. Marshal Lyle
hsndcufed MatzOni with q pair Of the
latest improved cuffs. and he had
them OF in less than a minute.
Deputy Hemming also tried his hand
with pair Of good strong cuffs
securely locked. but they too. we're no
match for Matzoni.
The straight jacket on exhibition
in front Of Butler Bros. store seemed
to be more than any man could con-
Quer. but he gets out of 1t like he
does out of the sack and box, in a
"ilEy."

Nobody had any confidence in
Keenes speculative ability-that is, no
body but himself. He believed that lie
could make good. He kept to the curb
stone and hoed a mighty hard row
until he met Senator FELTON, of Cali
fornia. The senator had a seat in the
San Francisco Stock Exchange. He
liked Keene. When FELTON, became as
siStant United States treasurer he gave
Keene his seat on the exchange, to lie

Dearly Loves Horses.

Mr. keene'S love for horses is his
ruling passion. One day Il horse fan
cier whom Kcene had met in Ken
lucky called to see the great financier
in his New York offices. Half dozen
men were in the anteroom. The Ken
tuckian finally requested the young
man TO tell MIR. Keene that Bill Scully
of Kentucky had dropped in to say
"IIowdy." Scully started away. but
as soon as the millionaire heard that
he had called the door flew open, and
Kecne rushed out into the hall, yell
ing:
Hey, Bill. Here, Scully"'
When Scully was dragged into the
inner sanctum he protested that he
was taking up Mr.. Keene's time.
''Not by any MEANS" replied Keene
Il can talk stocks any day, but it isn't
often that | get to talk horse with i

There is nothing saturnine about
Keene. He likes his little joke No
long ago he was reading a review OF
certain financial undertakings when hc
reached this sentence:
1T was then that the RockefelleI
stocks came to the relief of these agi

That's a disguised way of sayin:

Jay Gould After His Scalp.

Those were the days of the individual
Spectator. This is the day of COM
binations. Keene went 1t alone, used
his Judgment and made large win
nings. But Jay Gould was after his
scalp. BY the year 1884 Keene's for
tune had more than doubled. Then he
got into combination against his own
Judgment TO corner the worlds wheat
market Just when it seemed that all
was ready for the big rake off Jay
Gould and others sprang a coup that
came near shipping Keene back by
the box car route. There is still in
the street the tradition of a forged tel
egram which split the corner and
smashed Kcene to snithereens. When
he crawled out from under the ava
lanche he was about a million and q
half In debt. Everything went, in

''See there" he said exultantly.

The painting was Rosa Bonheur's

in connection with the first big horse

horse FOXhall Won the Grand PriX at
Paris in 1881. Twenty years earlier
Keene had been at his Horsetowp

the California country was Dan Gait
