RICH MAN DIES POOR.
He Would Not Tell Where His Wealth
 Is Concealed.

St Louis, January 25.-Capt. Charles F. Brown, aged 94 years, a civil war veter- an and a mineralogist of considerable renown, is dead at the city hospital. He died pauper and ther is much mystery surrounding the disappearance of his $SO,- 900 collection of Arkansas minerals, de- clared to have been the finest and the most complete display of Arkansas min eral wealth in existence. The collection was exhibited at the worlds fair and was the result of 30 years of labor in gather- ing.
 Captain Brown was found in dying condition Wednesday by workmen sent to wreck dilapidated building. He was sent to the city hospital. He was penniless and steadfastly refused to state what had become of his valuable collection of minerals. He was a native of Massachu- SettS.

Russia Protects Border.

St Petersburg, January 25-The minister of war has ordered four brigades of in- fantry now stationed at Odessa to proceed to Trans-B Baikalia to strengthen the gar- rison in the neighborhood of the Russo Chinese frontier. This constitutes the largest transfer of infantry in Russia since the war with Japan and is a plain intimation of the disquieting character of recent military activity on the part of China with reference to the Chinese-Jap- anese relations.

Club Not Disturbed.

Members of the Virginia society are not perturbed over the announcement that 1t is the purpose of the Anti-Saloon league to investigate their conduct in serving champagne, and to institute prosecutions, should any probable cause for it be found. They stand by the legal advice which they secured in advance of their dinner. and they did not hesitate to become the pioneers in the service of wines at ban quets under the prohibition laws
 The club locker proposition is scarcely causing any excitement in the northern section of the state. where it is pretty well known that there will be no at tempt to collect the United States tax from the individual members.
 It is down in South Georgia where there has been some alleged effort at evasion of the prohibition law, through the club locker that worry lies. Those interested don't know just how to take Judge Emory Speer's lntimation that each mem Der of these clubs will probably be liable for the government special tax
 There is a whole lot of unsettled ques- tions under the Georgia prohibition law, and it would not be surprising should somebody get into trouble in the settle ment

Application of Law.

But question arises as to whether that prohibition law. The new law seems to put an embargo upon anything that will produce intoxication, and there are those who will insist that if patent medicines and proprietary compounds cause fntox-. ication, their sale is prohibited. Despite the foregoing decision, it will probably be necessary to try the whole question out again and get the courts latest guess as governed by the new law.
 Banqueters and clubs are much per turbed over the question as to what Is a public place?
 There was no wine served at the annual dinner of the Atlanta Burns club held to- night, and the members even decided to forego their favorite hot Scotch. This, despite the precedent set by the Virginia society last Monday night, when the toast tc the Peerless General Lee was drunk in champagne. When asked as to the omis- sion a prominent member of the Burns club said:
 We do not believe that it is against the prohibition law to serve wines or liquors at a private banquet. At the same time the question is one which has not been finally determined, and as long as there Is any doubt about 1t we thought it bet ter not to serve either wines or hot Scotch. This stand was taken also in view of the fact that we had several judges among our guests, and felt that the service of anything of an intoxicating nature might prove embarrassing to them, especially in the event they should be called on to pass on the question in

 raised under the prohibition law of Geor- gia, for which adequate answers have not yet been forthcoming
 There are decisions in plenty by courts of competent jurisdiction relating to both, but somehow or other they seem far from satisfying when applied to the state pro- hibition law.
 The first question is of absorbing in terest to the druggists of the state, and more especially to those of Atlanta, who have been informed by Recorder Broyles that if they sell patent and proprietary medicines containing alcohol in sufficient quantity to intoxicate. they will be held liable to the penalty under the law.
 The druggists do not propose to give up approximately one-third of their busi- ness without a fight. They will make test cases in every necessary instance, and have employed counsel to fight their way through the courts.
 A decision has been found from the state court of appeals rendered about P months ago, in which it was held that such medical preparations are not intoxicating beverages, and that there was no prohibition against the sale of them under the local option laws of the state

STATEMENT NO.
CARRIES DOUGLAS

Review: From legislative
standpoint the result OF the pri-
maries Gs regards the Republicans.
as well as the Democrats, may be
considered O victory for Statement
No. /. While Cakes majority over
Fulton does not exceed 100 votes.
That he should have won at all Is
noteworthy from the fact that the
Statement was denounced by the
central committee. One OF the men
who participated in that denuncla-
tion was A. +. Staerns, OF Oakland,
who wound up third in the three
cornere1 fight for the state senator
ial nomination. Another was j. A.
Buchanan. who, though unopposed
In his candidacy for the joint repre-
sentative nomination with Jackson
county,, ran far behind his party
vote indicating that the indepen-
denee OF the party eleetor Is going
to loom up largely against him In
the June election. The defeat OF C..
s. Jackson, together with Stearns,
for the nomination for senator, Is
the logical sequence of a two-sided
platform, which afforded powerful
campaign material for his success
ful opponent, Albert Abraham, who
supported Statement No. equivo-
cally. or the two successful nom
inees for representative, George
Jones supports the Statement while
f. n. App'egate did not commit
himself either way.

tees shall see fit to the welfare of the Syrians in the United States. It is the intention to erect college buildings, but until it is completed arrangements will be made for the using of temporary quarters for the school and dormitories.
 All checks and subscriptions should be made payable to the American Trust and Savings bank. that concern having been designated as the custodian of the funds of the institute. pr. Elkourie has been appointed as soliciting agent and will de- vote all of his time to this work.
 Dr. Elkourie was born in Mount Leb- anon, near Beirut, in Syria, and is deeply interested in his countrymen. He has is- sued the following appeal in connection with the raising of this fund:
 q ask subscriptions from my country men, and philanthropic people of all races. toward the endowment fund of the above named college. This fund will be held and administered by the board of trustees thereof as stated in the paper hereto attached.
 My object in temporarily retiring from the practice of my profession and giving my entire time to the solicitation of these subscriptions is to promote the welfare of my countrymen. Many of them have come to this country with inadequate ed- ucation and are neither well informed as to their own language and history or as to the English language and American
