The Georgia Railroad Commission has issued an order prohibiting one of the railroads in that State from running its trains at greater speed than ten miles an hour. The order is conse- quent on the condition of the roadbed which the State inspector of railways fic. This is another effect of the reg ulation of railroads as undertaken in Georgia and Alabama. The railroad is unable to earn or borrow money to roadbed, owing partly to ie&fsiatic and partly to decrease in business, and It's earning power is further reduced by regulation of speed at which it's trains may travel.

 A prominent French architect here has been asked to submit plans for small castle in classic style to Queen Alexandra of England who has Just bought a stretch of land on the island of Corfu near the town of Peleka.
 It is the. intention of the English Queen to build a small palace on the island where she and the King may spend part of the winter each year.
 Queen Alexandra had always hoped to be able to buy the Achiliieou af- ter the death of Empress Elizabeth of Austria. and she was very much dis satisfied when it was sold to the Kais- CT. Queen Alexandra's palace will be about two miles from the Achillieon.
 As the King of Greece also possess es a small residence on Corfu 1t seems that this little island is destined to become a meeting place for all the monarchs of Europe. At the present time 1t is said that the Czarina has consented to leave Russia for some time because. of her failing health and that she will be the guest of the Ger man Emperor in his beautiful castle in the Mediterranean.

Woman Escapes Chains.


 A woman who was almost naked and who wore heavy chains around her neck and ankles ran into the police station of Billy -Montigny the other day and impiored the gendarmes to protect her against her husband and son.
 She declared that the two men chain ed her to bed in her room and lock- ed the chain around her neck and ankles with heavy pad locks. They had kept her thus chained for several weeks.
 She had made her escape that day because she had been let loose in or- der to clean the house.
 When her husband and son were sent for they admitted that they had placed her in chains but said that they had done so because 1t was the only way to keep her from drinking. The son was ordered to open the padlocks and set free his mother which he did very much against his will. A

TAFT VICTORY so BIG
MONEY DIDN'T COUNT

WASHINGTON. Nov. 28-If the
presidential election held the third day
of this month had been as close as it
one time bade fair to be, by this time
no doubt, Mr.. Bryan would be filling
the air with his cry that the triumph
of Mr.. Taft was bought with filthy
lucre. Under the existing circum-
stances, no such accusation is pos
sible in reason. II Mr.. Bryan makes
1t. the country will laugh at him
There is nothing whatever to base 1t
by the Republican managers. as dis
closed by publication of the official
list Of campaign contributions, much
satisfaction is expressed by leading
Republicans over the fact that If the
campaign fund had been ten times as
large as 1t was no man In his senses
could say the election Of Mr.. Taft was
secured by the use of money. There
is, apparently, a good deal of sensitive
ness among the people as to the use of
money in elections, and during the
recent campaign that was one of the
strings of Mr.. Bryan's harp on which
he most often and effectively played.
If the outcome of the campaign had
depended upon close state like In.
diana, where the Republicans had a
plurality of only 10000 on the national
ticket and lost everything else. or
upon a relatively close state like Ohio
Mr.. Bryan might now have something
to say about the use of money. But
the election did not depend upon those
states and Mr.. Bryan's mouth is closed
