Atlanta's Prohibition Treasury.

We offer to the friends of prohibition every
where the following story from The Atlanta Geor'
gian concerning Atlanta's prohibition treasury.
After all the evil prophesying, behold the following
declaration from Mr. John W. Grant, who was ont
of Atlanta's millionaire business men that honest
ly opposed the coming of prohibition. Listen:
t.Despte the loss of whisky liceIses and the
period of financial and business depression,
the receipts of the city for the year 1908 have
been as great as the receipts for 1902, about
5000, 900 having been spent in permanent I'M
provements this year in addition to the mon
ey appropriated to run all the departments,
and a healthy surplus will be left over to the
next administration
''This, in substance, is the statement of
Councilman John w. Grant, chairman of the
finance committee, to whom is due, in large
part the credit for this splendid showing.
"Counciman Grant was seen by repre-
sentative of The Georgian in the comptroller's
office
i" Il think am safe in saying that the re-
ceipts this year, he said will be as great as
the receipts were last year, despite what we
lost from whiskey licenses and despite the
period of depression through which the city
in common with the rest of the country, has
passed during the year just closing.
{" in addition to supplying sufficient mon
ey to run all the departments, we have spent
about 5000, 900 in permanent improvements.
In our October apportionment sheet, the
finance committee has discovered, not enough
money was apportioned to run all the depart
ments for the remainder of the year, and the
chairman was empowered to furnish all the
funds necessary to keep all the departments
going.
q THE city will have from 5000 to s7O,
600 more than was anticipated in the October
sheet, and the city must disburse from SAC, 600
to $50, 600 more than was anticipated.
% Speaking conservatively, then, the city
will have at least So 900 left over. OF this
So, 600 has already been added to the fund
for the Fifth ward school, making total of
$50, 900 for this year.
g This leaves at least s., 900 to go over as

He'll Gate Swum By Girl.

On Monday Adele Trapp. an ls.year-
old Brooklyn school teacher accom-
plished the feat of swimming through
He'll Gate. Many men have success
fully negotiated the dangerous eddies
and troublesome waters of this part of
the East river, but no woman has ever
before succeededin completing the task,
although many have made the attempt
With 2O-knot wind blowing and the
water unusually rough, Miss Trapp,
with Priscilla Higgins, also of Brooklyn,
started with 40 members of the United
States Life-saving Corps, from the Corps
station, foot of East Eighty-ninth
street, through He'll Gate to Classan' s
Point. distance of about eight miles.
MISS Trapp covered the distance in two
hours and half, but Miss Higgins was
seized with cramps after swimming five
and half miles, and was compelled to
withdraw from the race.
At no time did Miss Trapp show signs
of distress. She breasted the currents
and stuck to her self-imposed task, while
one by one the men were forced to give
up the effort. Fifteen of the original 40
starters were lifted out of the river,
worn out and exhausted. but this fact
did not cause Miss Trapp to weaken.
With determination born of firm
resolve to swim the entire distance, the
school teacher set at defiance hard
squall which blew up when the SWIM
mers were off Ricker's Island. She
reached Classon's Point just as the last
man was drawn out of the water. Miss
Trapp did not seem exhausted.

HOWe'S Great London Shows.
Willing Hands Applaud the Successful
Efforts Of the Management.

lfit ever comes to town, and you have
not already seen it, be sure to go. 1t is
without doubt superior to any circus
travelling the United States.
1t is the cleanest, most refined and
up-to-date circus in the world. There
is an absence of grating or grafters
that is noticeable. The gentlemen in
charge do not carry that old-time cir
Gus swag about them. They are all
neatly dressed, polite, and look after
the individual comfort of their patrons,
not to giving their time and attention
to gathering in the shekels.
If the Howe Shows ever return to
this city it will have to have two canvas
ses as large as the one used yesterday
to accommodate the crowd. At 8 o'clock
every reserved seat was taken. and at
s:l5 every seat of any kind was taken.
the only available room being on the
ground in front of the seats. Tho tent
was packed almost to suffocation, and
despite the fact that it was too warm TO
be comfortable. nobody left until the
last race was finished.
The work of the acrobats alone was
worth twice the price of admission.
The finest lot of trained horses in the
United States. the daring bareback
riders, the trapeze and performers and
bar performers and the funniest set of
clowns ever carried with circus were
all interesting.
Remember the day of the big Show
coming is Tuesday, Sept. 2lst.

HOWe'S Great London Shows.
The Whole World Searched To Make Its
Fame World Beater.

Howe's Great London Shows are ad-
vertised to exhibit in Snow Hill Tuesday
Sept. 21st. 1t has the finest of circus
features and is one of the best travelling
menageries in America. Animals from
every quarter of the globe are repre-
sented. There are real live tigers. a
whole cage of them, fresh from the
jungles of India, where their ancestors
have supped upon many luckless ma
tive, and great cage of lions, baby
lions and some of them not babies.
There are monkeys to delight the small
boy. Those strange animals, the water
buffalo, direct from our own Philippine
Islands, will be found in our collection.
There are sacred cows, camels, buffalo,
elks, deer, carribous and many other
strange and curious animals. There are
a number of elephants, among them the
largest and smallest elephants in the
known world.
The street parade will traverse the
principal streets OF the city in the
morning. In the parade will appear
about 40 cages and wagons, drawn by
four six and eight teams. A large
caliope will play the latest music of the
day.
One of the noticeable features at the
grounds where Howe's Shows appear is
the courtesy of the employees. Every
one is willing and anxious that the spec
tator shall see all of it. The shows
employ only those who know how to be
gentlemen, and particular care of ladies'
and children is the first consideration of
the Howe management.
Two performances will be given, be-
ginning at 2 and s p. M, respectively.
Don't forget the date, Tuesday, Sept.
