While sixteen children, who were attend
ing Sunday School picnic at Martin
Springs, near Sparta, Ga, were standing
under tree Saturday, to escape sudden
shower, bolt oflightning struck the tree
and every child was rendered uncon-
scious. When aid came the children were
found lying in heap at the foot of the
tree, and all were apparently dead. There
were two doctors in the picnic party, and
on examination they discovered that not
one OF the children had been killed out
right, though six OF them were in such
condition that their recovery is impossi-
Bile. Examination disclosed that on the
bodies OF nine of the children the tree had
been perfectly photographed by the cleo
trio bolt Another strange thing is that
the shoes had been torn from the feet of
the little ones, and every piece of metal
about them fused.

AN interesting confidence game is again
launched from New York by certain
publication with name something like
Sharper's Weakly. Last year about this
time Sharper'S offered great bargain
price to new subscribers, and many per-
sons bit at the attractive bait. later finding
out that il was campaign dodge; for
each week they were confronted with ed
itorials and cartoons and general reading
matter which was only too evidently in
spired by the Republican managers, who
used this ingenious method OF getting their
literature in the hands OF those who would
otherwise not touch it.
Within the past week or two Sharper's
has dangled another bait before the pub
lie, and.as no campaign was on, we were
bit curious to find out what inspired
this generosity. We think we have found
out. We believe that the publication re-
ferred to has been bought for period Of
twenty weeks by the Whiskey Trust, so
tldt piduSiOlC oil SuliISHtS may OS pISSSHtSS
TO the people in the hope that the great
wave oftemperance reform may be check
ed. We form our opinion from a recent
article on the temperance question, which
is none the less preiudiced and unreliable
because il was published in sheet that
was once valued as a conservative and
high-toned journal, but which is now
owned by the trusts represented by ].
Pierpont Morgan and edited by not too
particular hired mana certain windy
colonel whose shallow editorial opinions
are far, far removed from the dignified
utterances and honestly expressed con-
victions of some of its former editors.
incidentally, it is apparent that the
Whiskey Trust is in very close alliance
with all the other trusts and that there is
community of interests among this class
of malefactors.

MILLINERS FALL OUT,
PEACE IS DISTURBED
Partner Accused of Biting, Who De-
cIares She Merely Refused
to Kiss, Condemned to
Pay Fine

Mrs. Sophia Sides, part owner OF a
millinery establishment on South
Broadway, was fined $40 by Pollce JUS
tice Rose yesterday afternoon for dis
turbing the peace of Mrs. Y. >. Hanoil'
her partner !.
According to the testimony OIL the ue-
PENDANT and of several other women
witnesses. the trouble occurred over the
possession of the books belonging to
the firm.
The two women have been unable to
agree on the management of the busl-
ness and an action for dissolution or
partnership and other matters are pend
ing in the superior court.
February Ia, Mrs. Sides went to the
apartments of Mrs. Hamon, at the Ho-
tel Craig, 504 West Second street, and
demanded possession of the books. These
were being kept by the husband of the
latter, who made the necessary entries
in the ledgers.
Mrs Hamon refused to surrender the
books and Mrs. Sides picked up small
daybook lying on table and started
to leave. This angered Mrs. Hamon
and she seized the book. During the
struggle both women slipped and fell on
a couch Loud words are said to have
passed, and the commotion that folA
lowed attracted a number of other
roomers, who entered and separated the
Infatuated partners.
"While we were entangled on the
couch" said Mrs. Sides, Mrs. Hamon
asked me if would not kiss her This
I refused to do. I was angry. but I did
not use any loud or violent language"
Mrs, Harmon declared her partner
struck her in the face and then tried to
bite her on, the cheek
Both sides had their followers in
court and the two factions glared at
each other in anything but friendly
manner.
At the conclusion of the testimony
Justice Rose decided that the peace had
heen disturbed and fined Mrs. Sides $40
