EOUENE ANDEllSON,
President Georgia-Alabama Business
College, Macon, Ga.
J. w. Rountree, with the real es-
tate firm Of Ware & Hughes, Atlanta,
Ca, writes: II have had it proven
to my satisfaction that the Georgia.
Alabama at Macon is the best bust
ness college in the South today, be-
cause it is presided over by the most
tireless and intelligent worker that
young business people ever had as
champion and friend. Mr.. Anderson
is d genius in his work and gets re-
suits that are out Of the reach of
most men. He has made the Geor-
gia-Alabama a truly great training
school, in which the highest theories
and most perfect practice are COM
bined''
Mr.. Anderson says he would rather
train a student perfectly on credit
than to give him an imperfect course
for the cash. This has proven
winning motto.

A RIDDLE IN RHYME.

A RIDDLE IN RHYME.
Dear Daddy Jim: Here I come
knocking for admittance to our grand
old Club for the first time Papa
takes The jeff and I enjoy reading
the Postcard Club very much
nave not seen many letters from
South Georgia, but think we should
get move on ourselves and let the
people hear from dear old Georgia
some time. Well, I will answer
Mary Hutcheson's Bible questions:
The word Jehovah occurs in the BIZ
BILE 6,S65 times; the Bible contains
3,566,4S0 letters; 1868 words;
$1,000 verses: 1889 chapters; and
the 21st verse of the seventh Chapter
of Ezra contains all the letters of the
alphabet except "J''. Now, Mary, if
these are correct, I will expect post
card. Bessie Collins, the answer to
yours is three, I think. Eugene Dur
nam, yours is because a watch runs.
too. Susie Edwards, yours is: Too
wise you are, too wise you be, see
you are too wise for me. Mae Jen-
nings, yours is churn Bobbie Saw
yer, / agree with you about educat-
ing the farmers. Julia Tillman,
Lafayett Daniel, yours is smoke.
Now, If these are correct I shall ex-
pect card from each one of you.
Now to the one that answers this I
will send pretty card:
Adam, God made out of dust,
But thought it best to make me first:
So [ was made before the man
Io1
My body God did make complete,
But without arms or legs or feet:
My ways and acts He did control
But to my body gave no soul.
living being I became
And Adam gave to me my name,
[ from His presence then withdrew,
And more of Adam never knew.
| did my Makers laws obey,
And from them never went astray.
Thousands of miles I go in fear,
But seldom on the earth appear.
For purpose wise, which God did see,
He put living soul in me:
soul from me God did claim
And took from me that soul again.
For when from me that soul had fled,
| was the same as when first made;
And without hands, feet or soul
| Travelled on from pole to pole
I labor hard by day and night,
To fallen men I give great light;
Thousands of people, young and old,
Will by my death great light behold.
No right or wrong can I conceive,
The Scriptures I can not believe
Although my name therein is found
They are to me an empty sound
No fear of death doth trouble me:
Great happiness | never shall see;
To Heaven [ never shall go,
Or to the grave or Hell below
Now when these lines you slowly read,
Go search your Bible with all speed
For that my name is recorded there,
/ honestly do declare.
AS this is my first attempt I will
close with best wishes to all.-Fan-

Many Attend Funeral of
 Mary Crissy Wheeler

The remains of Mary Crissy, widow of Nathaniel Wheeler, founder of the Wheeler & Wilson Manufacturing Co.,
 were laid in everlasting rest this aft
 ernoon, in Mountain Grove cemetery
 following solemn services at her late
 home, $50 Golden Hill street. at 3 o'clock. Many mourners attended the obsequies at the late home, where the services were conducted by Rev William H. Lewis, pastor of St. Johns Episcopal church, of which congrega- ton the deceased was a devout mem Der, and into the treasury of which church she saowered liberal contribu- tions. being regarded as one of it's most substantial pillars. A profusion of floral offerings filled the large room in which the remains rested, while over the handsome casket was thrown a pail of lilies of the valleys and orchids.
 During the services a quartet con siSting of Mrs. Lillian Warner Patch en, Mrs. Susan Hawley Davis, Prof. Alfred T. Brisebois and William G. Rockwell rendered a number of, ap- propriate hymns. The honorary bearers were Morris Seymour, David Read, Charles Read, Frederick C Nichols, Gen. Henry A. Bishop and c. M. Calhoun.
 At the grave in Mountain Grove cemetery were many mourners who had known Mrs. Wheeler as their benefactress. It was known that she had been very charitable, but she per- formed here benefactions so unosten- tatfously that few of them came to light.

SPECIAL POLICEMAN
 EXPLAINS WHY HE
 RECEIVED MONEY

Harris Kahn, the grocer and special policeman, against whom complaint was entered at police headquarters, yesterday, that he had obtained s from Peter Baranowitch under false pretenses, today made a further state ment of the circumstances attending. the complaint.
 tsI was called to the office of Attor- ney Louis Kornb1ut, on Thursday said he. "being told that it was to
 my advantage to call. There were Kornblut and Baranowitch. Barano- witch didn't want, to make any com p1aint against me, so far as I know, but Kornblut insisted on questioning me about the $3. I told him I had taken the money for the time had spent with Baranowitch. I couldn't afford to give up the most of two days and get someone to look out for my store without getting something for it.
 f'I have learned that Baranowitch was complaining to Kornblut about the cost of law, when he mentioned paying me $3. Kornblut at once ir1- Guired why he had paid it. Then he sent for me, and demanded that I should return the money to his client of course refused. Then Kornblut went to police headquarters with the complaint, not Baranowitch, as was stated yesterday. I have done noth- ing wrong and | don't fear to have the. whole truth come out about the $3.''

RESULT. OF FIRST WEEK
 ENUMERATION 10000

If the census takers were permit ted to make a report of what they see to appropriate state muni- cipal departments, they would cause tenement house inspectors, health officials and humane agents to be busy for many weeks in Bridge port.
 Some of the women enumerators are mortified because of conditions they have found. Mrs. Remedy, one part of the city, reports having seen Q four years child stark naked, it's little bones showing plainly through it's skin, crawling about on the floor of a tenement house apartment The family with whom the child was To- cated were foreigners, speaking little complexion and features and gave every indication of having been born of another race.
 Other enumerators report much filth and dirt in tenement house sec tions, particularly where the women folks of the family work in factories many instances, are compelled to look after themselves. It is not an un- common thing to find ten or twelve room tenement in addition to the family
 Michael Svihra, an enurnerator in the West End, reports having found a building i'm his district which bore every aspect of a barn, in which he IOun0= one woman ana ID Hleh 0OII11- ciled.
 Enumerators are required to visit all buildings in their district. He ap- preached this barnlike structure one day this week and opening the door, saw that it was inhabited. He re- turned during the noon hour, when he found the dinner in progress, the men assisting, the woman by cutting up black bread and bologna. The men had sleeping quarters in the hayloft. Svihra, who speaks seven languages, is a muscular young Aus trian who recently completed an en- listnent in the navy. He was cleo trician aboard the battleship Louisi- ana in the cruise of the fleet around the world. He has the record, for fast work, 1p to this time, for he has taken thousand names, most of them jawbreakers, in four days.
 He is surprised to find the large number of people who are sleeping in cellars, in quarters which they un- doubtedly obtain at a rental of a few cents a week. Attics, he finds, are also heavily tenanted, and human be- ings make living quarters of places where one would scarcely expect to find them.
 svihra has found it necessary to open all doors and explore all DOT tions of many buildings, for he finds entire families living in very close quarters. He doesn't stop to knock. / Yesterday, visiting 9 tenement house, a little girl met him at the door. He asked her where her moth CT was. She replied. My mother is

Washington, April 23.-If, there is one way better than another to win Iame and popularity it is via the good dinner din route. Elaborate, dignifed dinners Of state grow weary, so those who are compelled ito eat them have said, but a good old fashioned din ner, served in home style is a hit in Washington circles nowadays. Mrs. James s. Sherman, wife of the vice president, is a cook of the old school During the past winter she gave three nome dinners where there was more plain food than frills, and diplomatic Washington opened. it's eyes and won dered: Mrs Sherman made a hit with her sdinners-so much of a hit. in fact, that she is planning a series or twelve home dinners during the month of May, which are due to wind up the Washington season. "A vice president is never overstrong in Washington circles,'' said Senator Depew, but when a vice president has wife that can cook as Jim Sherman's wife can then he surely becomes of some importance. If Mrs sherman keeps up her May dinners people would better look out or Mrs. Jim will be serving dinners from the White House.

New York, April 23--A strenuous race is being waged by steamship agents in New York as to who will have the honor of carrying a ship 1oad'' of diplomats to Europe early In May. And while the steam ship agents are hustIing for the patronage some seven ambassadors and minis ters to the United States are trying 10 induce their fellow passengers to go by one of five lines. What boat will carry the distinguished men will not be settled for another ten days and then it is promised that all the arts of diplomacy will be cast to the winds and regular schoo1boy trick will be called into play to settle the Quest1on--viz-, drawing long and short 4Anstria- -Hungary, sSenor Don Gonzalo de Quesada of Cuba, Count Mo1tke of Denmark Count J. H. von Bernstorff of Germany, Right Hon. James Bryce Df England, Baron des Planches of Italy and Baron Rosen of Russia in rided& that they were all going to Europe for a vacation about the same lime. It was suggested that the voy- age could be made a pleasant one if they formed a party, but then came the questions of what ship, what port sEVashington are described as being worn in looks and shoe leather in hurrying from one diplomats home in VaShington to another, suggesting Q new date or a new way to arrange for the ship. Secretary of State credited with suggesting that they, ministers and am bassador keep on drawing long and short straws until zhe matter is settled

He's upstairs asleep, he's a night fused to call her father, saying he would whip her, whereupon the enu- l merator proceeded to the night watchman's apartments aroused him and obtained the required inforna- = ton, after the indignation of the man had been cooled by a statement of ernment
 Another instance of svihra's nerve was displayed, Thursday, in board ing house, where a dozen factory hands of foreign birth were seated about the living room. He questioned them in Magyr, and heard a voice say swer him. Svihra, spoke in Bohe- milan, and told the medd1er to mind his own business. Caught in the act of interrupting the census taker, the ator threw him out of the house. He then proceeded to take the names Of the boarders and left word that he would call later for the name of the disturber. hoping in the meantime he would learn to respect an officer Of Uncle Sam Out of 55 enu1nerators nine have finished, showing that the special agent of the census bureau, who laid out the districts, had not a full Knowledge of the territorial dis tribution of population in Bridgeport. One man had only 400 names. Others have taken as high as 5000 names and report an estimate of 5000 or 5000 per sons.
 These latter say that they will not be able to finish by May. if unassist- ed. Special Agent Jones has assigned assistance. Five persons only have refused information to the enumera- tors, although 10000 names have been taken up to this time. The offenders will be reported to Supervisor Bailey, who will presumably follow the course taken in New Haven where an offend CT was sent to jail for ten days.
 An Italian enumerator, assigned to the North Main street section, reports that co1ored man, sought to stave him off with shot gun. This man is said to be one of the five scheduled for arrest.
 A special designation of color has been provided by the census bureau. It is o. IT., meaning other than white, black, red, yellow. It is used in in stances where half breeds are found. A peculiar illustration of the stubborn ness of some people is afforded by the woman who absolutely refuses to state the facts relating to her own family until the enumerator tells her the age of her neighbor of the other side of the street where she lives.
 It is impossible to compare the cen- sus in the nine census districts com p1eted with the work of ten years ago as the boundaries are not the same The enumeratofs in the outskirts are making a census of certain domestic animals. Tn the center of the city work horses are numbered and kept separate from animals used for pur- poses of pleasure.

 Secretary McGuiness also stated that Manager McCann this morning receiv- ed a telegram from the manag cement of the Atlanta Club Of the Southern League with which club he had been negotiating for the services of First Baseman Sweeney, stating Don't take Sweeney case to National Commission. Will try to fix matters up with Sa- vannah.'' From this message it is evident that the Atlanta. management is considering sending First Baseman doln1hurst, whom they wanted to turn over to McCann, to Savannah. and send Sweeney to this city.
 McCann in his reply to the Atlanta Club yesterday stated that he wanted Sweeney or nobody, and that if he could not get him he would take the case to the National Commission, had accepted MeCann's terms and transportation had been wired Sweeney.
