Gus Persons.

Atlanta, GA week-old baby,
dressed in the finest of clothes; clos
ed cab and mysterious man and wo-
man form the principals in sensation
al and battling "satchel mystery"
which the police and detectives of this
city are trying assiduously to solve.
Lying in a brand new travelling
satchel, evidently bought for the pur-
pose, the infant was taken to the home
of negro woman, Martha Berry, 208
Rhodes street, and abandoned The
baby was left in the house by the sty-
lishly dressed man, who gave the Ber-
ny woman a dollar and asked ner to
care for the child until he and his
wife returned from the theater. "
That was the last seen of the man.
An extra supply of baby clothes had
been packed in the travelling satchel,
and it was on these the deserted babe
was lying In the satchel was also
found a bottle of paregoric and a box
of talcum powder.

Washington.

The story Of the events leading up
to tne shooting of Frank Macaboy by
Castor Phillip in the Arlington hotel
in Washington following a night of
hilarious revelry about town, was mar
rated this morning by two witnesses,
one the chauffeur CT Phillips's auto
mobile, the other the elevator boy at
the Arlington. The whole testimony
of both witnesses was distinctly IA
vorable to the young defendant.

The second and third sections of the
report on the classification methods of
the New York cotton exchange by
Commissioner of Corporations Herbert
Knox Smith have been made public,
and like the first installment, show up
that exchange to great disadvantage
as compared with other exchanges.
This exchange is strongly criticised
on its classification methods, identif-
cation of grades and arbitrary rules of
the classification committee. 1t is as
serted that the New York exchange
does not provide for the extremely
weak or persisted" staple cotton as
does the New Orleans exchange.
The next of the destructive tests to
be made upon the monitor Florida is
fixed for June 10 as stated at the
navy department Saturday. On that
date the Florida will be brought from
the Norfolk navy yard to suitable
spot in Hampton Roads, where the
depth of water probably will not ex-
coed twenty or twenty-five feet, and
there will be attacked by an American
Whitehead torpedo, which will be di-
rected against a spot On the hull about
six or eight feet below the water line,
inside of which will be located a spec
ial form of bulkhead, which probably
will be filled with water The torpedo
will carry bursting charge of 200
pounds of gun cotton, and is expected
to sink the Florida at the first attempt.
The vessel will easily be raised owing
to .he shallow depth of water.

plain and did notknow what It was?
That's Catarrh, and there are plenty
OF people who have it. You. can get
