Pen Pictures of Chain
From the atlanta Journal

Mr.. Chain reached Atlanta at midnight Friday.
BY half past eight Saturday morning he had
shaved, shined and breakfasted He sat in his
shrtsleeves in room 217 at the Piedmont hotel a
moderately TALL broad-shouldered man who looked
strong enough to fight bulls in Madrid and at the
same time suave enough to have kept company
with the gentlemen of Elizabeth's court He gives
you the impression that he is just such lawyer
as he is reputed to ne-a lawyer of the Rufus
Choate type and of that capacity, too.
From the Boston Globe
Mr.. Chain has an attractive personality He
dresses and looks like prosperous banker and
this, coupled with his gstenng, horseshoe shaped
badness and the wrinkles around his eyes when
ne laughs, gives one the impression that he is a
very shrewd parsonage
He is full of face and as tanned as cow
puncher. What hair he has is gray and closely
cropped, as is his mustache. In one particular he
may be said to resemble Bryan and that is in the
largeness of his mouth
He is slow of speech. has penetrating voice
he has habit of saying IN an intensely serious
manner statements which are laughable and which
are intended to be funny
Most of Mr.. Chains gesticuation is done with
the left hand. favorite gesture is to extend the
left arm straight out from the shoulder and point
rigid forefnger; in lieu Of this he taps the table
with the tips of his left hand, or holds the hand
in front of him and smiles down into the palm.
He dresses simply in black, but is exceedingly
well groomed. Where there is draught of air
or when speaking in the open he makes use Of a
skull cap, and at the time of putting it on makes
the announcement 1--WE baldheaded men must not
catch co1d.'

MAKINETTE, Wis, Aug. 3.-[Spc-
cial. IA smouldering mass Of ruins is
all that remains Of the millions of feet
of lumber of the Sawyer-G Goldman Lum-
Der company, which were destroyed by
fire Saturday night 1t is estimated that
15,OOOOOO feet Of lumber were lost, val
ued at $500, 900. The loss is fully Gov
cred by insurance.
In addition TO the lumber loss there is
a heavy loss on tramways and equip
ment and several million feet Of cedar
logs were burned to the water line.
Charles Goodman and X. +. Goodman,
who were at Green Bay, made Il record
trip to Marinette on Senator Stephen
sons yacht. Bonita.
While the company suffered great loss
through the fire, it is probable that
the people of Marinette and Menominee
will be the gamers. There was some
talk of shutting down the mills because
the yards were stocked beyond their
capacity But the fire has cleaned out 4
large space and night and day shifts
will probably be run in piling new lum-

Insurance Commissioner Beedle. AS a
result of his employing {. W. Rhodes

The opinion goes carefully into the his

based upon an investigation conducted

ION that Mr.. Bcedle made no willful
mistake and cites that Mr.. Becdle would
Iot have certified the payrOllS of Rhodes

that while mistakes were made and the

The civil service law. there is Il total ali
Scnce of anything in the record to show
Willful or malicious acts or any corrupt
Or Interior motives in the conduct of the

civil service commission took a very
wide scope and there are some intima-
tons in the questions asked of improper

support any findings to that effect"
