NEGROES RUSH TO
 BECOME SOLDIERS

Atlanta, August 1.-The male negro population of Atlanta has been decim- ated and the owners of drug stores. soda fountains. near-beer saloons and messenger agencies are loudly denounc- ing the United States army.
 For a number of years negroes have not been enlisted because the two ne- gro regiments had their full quota of men. But the Tenth cavalry has just returned from a three-year tour of duty in the Philippines and many terms of enlistment are expiring. To fill the ranks the negroes are being enlisted again.
 The enthusiastic reception given the black regiment upon its arrival in New York recently has been the one topic among the southern blacks and they are all delighted because the negro troops were treated like white folks" Consequently the recruiting officers had no trouble in getting black soldiers, and over 100 were shipped to Colum- bus, o. today.
 Messengers" said the manager of the A. D. T. this evening, "why we haven't any. Those that did not enlist are celebrating the departure of their friends"

BIDS OPENED FOR
 SALE. OF BONDS

Washington, August 17.-Bids were war department, today for s1,500,O00 4 per cent, 10 and 30-year Philippine public works and improvement bonds. This issue is the balance unsold of the $5,00O,C0O authorized by the acts Of Congress last amended February 6, 1905.
 There were only six bids offered, of which the following are the successful ones for the amounts named:
 The Riggs Bank of Washington, D. C.. on behalf of the National City Bank of New York and the Mercantile Trust company of St. Louis, s1,392,0o0 at 100.2S: Garvin L. Paine 6 Co.,, Indian apolis, $1Oo.O00, at 1G0.51; Morris Mer- ritt, Grundy Center, Ia., $5o,000, at 102; John Setstrom, Guthrie, Okla. sS000. at 101.
 The first two issues of these series of Philippines bonds, the first aggre- gating s2,500,0o0, and the second $1,000,000, sold at a much higher rate than that realized today, the prices ranging from 1os.37 to 1O9.06. The req son for this decline is largely found in the fact that there is little present de- mand for bonds for national bank pur- poses as the Secretary of the Treasury Is not now making deposits of public moneys for which bonds are accepted as security

TESTIMONY GIVEN
 BY BANK OFFICIAL

Asheville, N. C., August f7.-spendfng the entire day on the witness stand in his own behalf. Major Breese. former president of the First National bank, was again the center of interest in today's hearing in the federal court of the Breese- DiclSerson conspiracy case. His recital covered the various transactions of him- self and other officers of the failed bank dealt with alleged bogus notes in gen. eral and few in particular and told of the various letters written to the friends in the interests of the bank. At one time during the progress of Breese's testimony Judge Newman admonished the witness, with some show of feeling, that he should not testify as to matters that were manifestly incompetent. The judges re- marks were called forth by a statement from the witness to the effect that "any man in Pennsylvania county would con firm my statement"
 The witness touched on the signing of several notes for large amounts by his negro coachman by saying that there was terest and that 1t was necessary to put in notes to meet this accumulated interest
 We were close to dangerous shores" said the major, 'and feeling my own solv- ency and responsibility, l did not feel like getting a solvent man to sign the notes"
 Major Breese was still on the stand when court adjourned

FRISCO MAY BUILD
 NEW RAILROAD

New Orleans, August 17.-Articles of in corporation for a new railfoad to con- meet New Orleans and Pensacola were filed here this afternoon. The charter names the company as the New Orleans and Gulf States Railway company, and fixes it's authorized capital at $5.0OO,O00. It is popularly believed in local rail- road circles that the Frisco Rock Island system Is behind the enterprise, but there is lack of definite facts or state- ment to substantiate such a report.
 The fact that three of the seven peti- tioners are connected with Frisco en- terprises. coupled with unconfirmed re- ports recently that the Frisco would use the Mobile, Jackson and Kansas City to reach the gulf coast, and the Florida point, appears to be the basis of the ru- nor. The three petitioners in question are I. T. Preston, general agent of the Frisco and Rock Island system at New Orleans, and A. l.. Phillips and r. G. Jonah, who are connected with the en- gineering department of the New Orleans Terminal company regarded as Frisco enterprise.

New York.

NOTES HERE AND THERE
BY MYRTLE MILES.

Quite in line with plea In one of the current magazines for cessation of the artificial society life of the young peo- pie in our cities is an expression from clever Englishwoman, Mrs. Harold E. Gorst, one of New York's most recent vis- itors of distinction. The plea that appears in the magazine touches upon the gayeties of Christmas and other holiday seasons late hours. dinners and dances which go forward with such a rapid pace that many a young girl is down with neu- rasthenia by the time she should return to school, and 1t begs that some we'll known neuologist should write an article of warning that shall stem the tide of this phase of modern social life.
 Mrs. Gorst suggests that there are no young girls in America. intimating that the social whirl and elaborate costuming places them in the class of grown ups."' She says: What I miss most of all in New York is the 'fiapper." where is she, or does she no longer ex- ist? We call the girl who wears her hair hanging loose with the top tied in a ribbon a '1apper,' and she is every where in evidence in England, while over here see only little children and young ladies. English mothers do not let their girls grow up so quickly. You must not think we keep them In short froclls and hair ribbons to make ourselves seem younger They themselves have no wish to grow up and come out, and many rpnthar has fn rlpad with daughter to lengthen her frocks and grow up a bit. I had to with mine and at first she would only ask what 1t mat tered to others so long as she herself was thoroughly comfortable in her short frocks. The only way I could get a response from her was to venture the re- mark that she really owed 1t to me not to make me soom to be trying to keep her young so that I would not look older That brought the frocks down a few inches but they are still far shorter than those the 16-year-old American eSs wear"
 When one recalls the gaieties engaged in here during the last Christmas holi- days, the viewpoint of the writer in the magazine can De reduiiy seen mere were great times in Birmingham for the young folk, boys and girls home from school, but as for cases of neurasthenia, from too many dinners, dances and late hours, 1t Is good to be unable to recall any of these. Mrs. Gorst would find a number of "fappers" in the south, too think-dear sane, wholesome, happy young girls whom it is a joy to know because of their bright, lovable natures and youthful enthusiasm.
