TONS OF EGGS SEIZED.
%, 900 Pounds of Them SmelIed Bad,
and Contained 80. 900. 900 Germs.

Federal authorities of Brooklyn,
n. Y, a few days ago seized $4,000
pounds, or more than II tons, of
frozen egg products stored in the
plant of a Kings county refrigeration
company. The government alleges
that the eggs not only taste and
smell bad, but that they also contain
3O,00O,000 germs to gram, includ-
ing 100000 of the streptococeus va
riety, which produces blood poison
ing, erysipelas and pneumonia. There
are 94S cans in the present seizure,
holding 25 pounds each. In May So
cans at one time and rs cans at an
other were seized at the same place
The eggs will be destroyed by the
Brooklyn board of health, unless the
owners put in a claim and start a
fight in court. The product makes
a good fertilizer, the health men say
but not for human beings.

Filler HURLS BOMBS AT FOE
SHOWS HOW MAN-BIRD COULD
DEMOLISH BATTLEsHIPS.
Aviator Curtiss, While Speeding
Through the Air, losses Oranges
Near Deck of Yacht.

ATLANTIC CITY.-Glenn Curtiss
tossed oranges as mimic bombs with
in three feet of the decks of the
yacht John E. Mehrer II, used in
place of a battleship during the sham
battle arranged yesterday afternoon
to demonstrate the utility of aero
planes in coast defense. The bombs
were dropped from a height of about
800 feet, and Curtiss purposely failed
to strike the deck of the yacht for
fear OF injury to the officials and nas-
sengers gathered on her decks.
Experts agreed that a fleet of aero
planes armed with bombs of high ex-
plosives could wreck any warship be-
fore guns could be trained on them.
The Mehrer was offered as a
trial after government officials had
refused to assign a gunboat which
would have been armed with cam
eras mounted on the gunsights to
photograph the hits" made when
the guns were fred at the aeroplanes.
Curtiss was flying about As miles
an hour when he dropped the
bombs, and officials on the deck of
the yacht declared that he was with
in accurate distance for rife fire less
than half a minute. Col. William
Allen Jones, retired, formerly of the
United States engineer corps, who is
an advocate of aeroplanes for coast
defense, stated after the trials his
belief that the air machine has
proved it's efficiency.
The armored battleship is ap-
preaching it's last days as an engine
OF attack against city or country
guarded by aeroplanes," he said.
Glenn Curtiss or any other expert
aviator could drop high explosives
on the decks or down the flnnels of
warship as easily as Curtiss yester-
day tossed oranges within a few feet
OF the yacht. / believe a fleet of a
score of air machines could absolute
ly protect any coast city A night
flight by such a feet would not only
probably demolish an entire fleet of
battleships, but could also so demor-
alize the crew of the attacked vessels
as to make them useless"
Curtiss also dropped oranges over
fertilization marked out on the
beach, making practically every shot
hit, although the trajectory was
sometimes thirty degrees because of
the wind and his speed.
Walter Brookins' last flight here
today was sensational, the adept
driver gliding his machine toward
the ocean until it's runners were sub
merged in a breaker. He rose safely
and glided to the beach. Both Cur
tiss and Brookins made exhibition
| flights over the ocean.
Yesterdays flights ended the meet.
/ The prizes of $4,000 each were pre-
| sented to Brookins for breaking the
altitude record and to Curtiss for es-
tablishing fifty-mile record over the
sea course yesterday Twenty-Five
flights were made during the ten
DAYS of the meet

PLAY AT BEING POOR.
Swell Society People Have Invented
a New Game.

Swell Society People Have Invented
New Game.
In Pittsburg the swell society peo-
pie have invented a new game. They
play at being poor. 1t is very funny.
A poor party was given the other
evening by Mrs. Scadds" ($40,OOO,-
000) in honor of Miss Spudds"
$50, 000,000). There were twenty
four guests. A larger number had
been invited, but it seems that many
of them baked at even playing
poor" Here we take up an account
of the function, as it appeared in a
New York journal devoted to so
ciety:" ''The guests were dressed
in tatters and rags, although each of
them was rich. Scraps of food we're
served on wooden platters. The
diners were seated on soap boxes,
buckets and coal hods Bits of news
paper were used as napkins and dust
cloths. Some of the guests used rags
from old skirts as doilies. Only old
fashioned games were played. The
rich enjoyed playing poor for one
evening. 1t is difficult to comment
on an incident of this kind.

HE HAD THE GOODS ON HIM
BROUGHTON HAD HALF PINTS
OF LIQUOR IN HIS POCKETS.
Showed the Booze as He Spoke to an
Augusta Audience on NOn-En-
forcement of Law.

AUGUSTA, Ga.-Dr. Len G..
Broughton, who came here yester-
day by invitation from the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union of Au-
gusta for the purpose of stirring up
a prohibition agitation, fairly set the
woods afire last night.
DR.. Broughton spoke in the city
court room to as many people as
could be packed into the place, and
it's safe guess that there were not
half dozen of his words lost by his
audience
DR.. Broughton is an illustrator of
his arguments, and the illustration
he used from the very outset of his
preachment not only hit in high
spots, but rather were like a whip
lash, and hit pretty near everything
in sight. For instance, as a starter
he run his hand in his hip pocket
saying:
Looks like a pretty bad thing to
see a preacher going about with
liquor on him, don it? But I've got
~ anu dC puiASu buI HAIL d DluI.
THAT came from down here on Broad
street, right in your Augusta. My
assistant here got it this afternoon
without the slightest trouble"
Then the doctor put one hand in a
side coat pocket saying: And my
coats little heavy, too. Here's an
other half pint. This one came from
a place over on the corner of Broad
and Mcintosh. You can get the stuff
almost anywhere you want to, and
all of it you want We didn't have
any trouble getting it, And | sup
pose it's good liquor, too. I'm told
it is.
But, by the way, my young friend
here went into one of your hotels-a
big, fine place. Back in the bar
room he saw lot of people getting
drinks, and decided he would take
a try at it. He took the try and
found that it was real whiskey. He
says it was good liquor"
DR.. Broughton spoke more than
two hours, and held his audience
through it all. Whether or not he
is to remain in the city any longer
is not yet known, but the indications
are that he will, since he said he
would join the Elks and burn up his
Bible rather than give up the fight
he has opened

John DOE" GETS A BLOW
Has Become Persona Non Grata to
Uncle Sam, and Warrants For
Him Are Hereafter Illegal.

WASHINGTON.-"John Doe" and
his running mate, Richard Roe"
have become persona non grata to
Uncle Sam. Their names are no
longer to be used in warrants car
ried by internal revenue agents en-
gagged in raiding 'moonshiners"
throughout the south, nor upon other
federal warrants, for that matter
These John Doe" warrants are now
held to be invalid and illegal. If
used in the future the federal COM
missioners, district attorneys or 9TH
er officials issuing them will not be
able to secure funds from the treas
ury with which to pay the expenses
of serving them.
This is brought about through e
decision just rendered by Comptroll-
err of the Treasury Robert J. Trace
we'll to the effect that every warrant
must contain the correct name of the
person who is sought to be arrested
under authority of that paper, and
the use of such indefinite cognOmens
as John Doe" and Richard Roe"
instead of the true and authentic
names of the persons sought to be
arrested is unconstitutional.
The decision is one of the most
important that has emanated from
the comptroller's office in years. 1t
becomes applicable to every branch
of the federal service and to all war
rants issued under authority of the
federal government for the arrest of
any person for alleged violation of
any federal statute. 1t will apply to
the secret service, the internal rev.
enue service, United States marshals
and other agents of the government
authorized to apprehend persons for
supposed infractions of the statutes.

RUssIAN-JAPAN ALLIANCE.
England Is Greatly Alarmed by the
News From the Far East.

A London, England, dispatch says:
Diplomats who are conversant with
the situation in the far east see be-
hind the convention between Russia
and Japan, which is announced at
st. Petersburg, new alignment
which threatens the existence of the
open door.
1t is believed that behind the con-
vention there is a secret treaty by
which the countries that few years
ago were at war have pledged them
selves to dominate the east. The
subject is one which causes great
alarm, it is learned today, to the
British foreign office.
The impression grows here daily
that Japan will never sign another
treaty with England of the same ma
ture now existing.
There is also to be a marked eff
feet on the negotiation between ia
pan and America over the new treaty.

GIVE OUT NO MORE DETAILS
Smiths Manager Follows With State
ment Similar to One From
Browns Headquarters.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS statements
for the newspapers containing the
names of callers at campaign head
quarters and leading opinions as to
the governors strength in various
sections of the state will not be given
out any more by the managers of
Governor Browns campaign.
So stated j. r. Smith, statewide
campaign manager, yesterday. He
added that the public would be kept
thoroughly informed as to the pro-
gress of the campaign, but the nature
of this information would henceforth
be different.
More facts and less flattering gem
eralities is in reality the substance
of the matter.
The Brown headquarters are now
running in full blast. Every day
stream of visitors files in and files
out. Several secretaries and stenog-
raphers are busy handling the cor
respondence, and the campaign lead
ers are looking after the reception
end of the job.
1t was stated yesterday that since
the headquarters we're opened news
had been received from 80 counties,
saying that Brown campaigns were
organized and already hard at work.
Smith Makes Change.
Remarkably similar to the new or
der of things put into effect by the
publicity department of the Brown
campaign is the statement given out
at former Governor Hoke Smiths
headquarters that hereafter there
will not be so many brief interviews,
and so much detailed information
In other words, the prepared state
ments issuing from the Smith Offices
from now on will deal in larger
way with the state as a whole, and
will contain more specific information
about the actual progress of the cam
paign.
Half dozen stenographers have
been added to the clerical force now
busily engaged at the Smith head
quarters. The volume of correspond
ence is growing rapidly, and from
every section of the state are COM
ing the most hopeful reports of cam
.paign work for the former gov
ernor.

MITCHELL GAINS FREEDOM.
Prominent Townsville Man Com.
pletes Sentence of IL Months.

pleLeS sentence Oh IL MOnInS.
VIM. H. Mitchell, one of south
Georgia's most prominent and
wealthy citizens, whose trial and con-
viction of assault and battery upon
Miss Lucille Linton of Thomasville
excited interest throughout the coun-
try, was given his freedom Tuesday
after serving a twelve months SEN
tence on the county changing.
Strenuous efforts were made and
many thousands of dollars spent by
Mitchell and his friends to have the
changing sentence annulled, but the
higher courts overruled the appeals,
and Governor Brown refused to inter-
fere. Because of his physical condi-
ton, however, Mitchell remained in
the prison hospital throughout his
term of sentence. He is suffering
from Bright's disease.
Mitchell went from the prison to
his home on the outskirts of Thorn
asville, where he was welcomed by
his family.

PLEA FOR PEACE UNHEEDED
aETIRES FROM
THE RACE FOR GOVERNOR.
Realizes With Sorrow Fight Must Go
on" His Duty to State Did Not
Require Further Sacrifice.

ATLNATA.-Judge Hart has re-
tired from the race for governor.
He admits that, much to his sorrow ,
his appeal for peace has fallen upon
deaf ears.
he says that he has no personal
ambition to be governor. and he be-
lieves that those who know him will
acquit him of any sinister purpose
or unworthy ambition. He was sole
ly actuated by the conviction that the
best interests of the state demand a
cessation of fractional differences.
Continuing he says: There is
not even hope left that my candi-
dacy will accomplish it's purpose, and
L realize now with pain and sorrow
unspeakable that the fight must go
on The announcement has had little
effect upon the line up and | am
freely told that peace is neither pos
slble nor even desired. Duty to my
state does not require of me further
sacrifice and humiliation.
The part of Judge Harris retiring
statement dealing with the condition
OF the state treasury will prove of
general interest. He says:
Face to Face With a Crisis.
LAS a result of these conditions
Georgia is now face to face with a
crisis 1t would alarm the patriotic
men of this state Her appropria-
lions are in excess of her income,
and the same rule applies to the
state as applies to the Individual who
spends more than his income. Geor-
gia has already been forced to the
humility of confession that there was
not sufficient money in the treasury
to enable her to buy property which
the legislature thought, whether
wisely or unwisely, her best interests
demanded. If partisan politics is to
continue and one branch of the leg
islature, whether intentionally or ig-
norantly, embarrasses the other
branch, there is nothing to be ex-
pected in the future but further hui
initiation in the sight of her sister
states. Her present extremity is to
be deplored, but it is the result of
nothing less than that the public
mind is so infiamed by partisan poll
tics and factional feuds that her in
terests and good name has been for
gotten. Her credit is her best as
set. 1t is her stay in time of peace
and her defense in time of war.
Retires With No Bitterness.
II retire from this contest with
out bitterness, and bespeak the re-
spect of your governor, whoever you
may choose, and commend that you
help him in the discharge of the oner-
Gus duties that await him, to the end
, that he may govern justly and wisely
according to the constitution and
laws of this state"

BOTH HOUSES PASS INCOME TAX

Georgia Would Give Federal Gov
eminent Right to Levy Such Tax.
BY vote of 1875 to "A the house
OF representatives passed the reso-
luton to ratify the national income
tax constitutional amendment, which
was under consideration for four
days. This, following the action of
the senate, which had passed the res
olution by a vote of % to 10, places
the general assembly of Georgia on
record as favoring the levying of the
much discussed tax, and brings to
an end to the lengthiest debate of the
present session of the legislature.
Senator Irwin opposed the resolu-
ton, while Representative Pickett
voted for it.

As to Curtailment.

The showing that mill takings
made in the face of all the curtail-
ment talk that went the rounds will
cause traders this week to look
askance at further claims of curtail-
ment this week. The Liverpool spot
market, the returns from the Man
chester cloth and yarn market, and
last, but not least, the daily quota
tions on silver in London, will have
more than their usual prominence
this week. This is due to the strong
showing made Saturday by spots in
Liverpool and silver in London, fol-
lowing a week of unusual activity.
Higher prices for silver should cause
the far east to buy more cotton goods
from Manchester and better de-
mand for cotton goods will stimulate
an already strong demand in Liver
pool for spots from Manchester.

COTTON is NOW At A CRISIS
THE NEXT FORTNIGHTS Wealth
Err TO DETERMINE YIELD.
Crops Condition in Several States
Watched by Operators. Inter-
est in Texas Situation.

NEW Observation-Disclosures are
that the cotton trade this week will
be more interested in the new crop
situation in Arkansas, Louisiana and
mississippi than any other feature
OF the market. Reports from those
three states will have much to do
with the course of prices unless
something very strong develops in
the old crop positions. Last week
closed with a good portion of the
trade convinced that the cotton crop
was about to pass through a most
critical period, and the majority were
willing to admit that the weather
OF the next fortnight would have
much to do with the size of the total
yield this year.
Next to the states mentioned Tex
as will be watched with interest, for
there is still hope for a moderately
large crop if Texas has a good yield.
Official advices from the state of
Texas during the week just ended
caused some people to believe that
conditions in that state were not
quite so bad as the bulls have been
painting them.
1t this week sees further crop de-
terioration investment buying on an
increased scale may be expected,
even though the leading professional
interests do not take a decided stand
on the new crop.
Thirteen Cents in October.
1t has come to be the contention
among certain class of traders that
Is cents for October is a more legiti-
mate price than is Is cents for July.
This buying will be of a very strong
character, just as it was exactly a
year ago at this time, when outside
| investors entered the market and
bought cotton that they held for a
! rise of nearly cents a pound. In
connection with the old crop the mar
ket will be eager to get at the truth
of the mill situation, Last week the
market was flooded early and late
with reports of mills closing down,
and these had a bearish effect on
prices. When the weekly statistics
were published it was found that
mills had taken as much cotton as
they took the same week two years
ago and within 10000 bales of as
much as they took last year for the
same week.

At the Washington

The program opening at the
Washington Sunday matinee is one
that is sure to please, as it consists
of a little of everything and all
things good. Gerard, the famous
Herculean juggler, is the latest i'm
portation for the Sullivan and Con-
sidine circuit. This extraordinary
attraction will be the feature of the
program next week. Gerard is as
sisted by fellow of infinite orig
inality, not to say jest, and intro
duces juggling entertainment con-
sisting of the science of the Jug
Gerard is German and has the pc
culiarity of this race in perfecting
themselves in all the arts and
crafts or anything they undertake
to do. Carlyle Moore, Ethelyn
Palmer and company, Americas
cleverest players, will present
modern comedy entitled. "Disillu-
stoned" The playlet deals with
the illusions of young wife who
becomes infatuated with a young
actor whom she admires across the
footlights for many months. The
complications are many and the lit
tie comedy is gem of merriment
interspersed with short moments of
pretty sentiment. One of the best
acts of its kind now on the road
will be offered by ALT Rippon, the
famous Scotch ventriloquist. The
veteran humOrist, Peter F. Baker.
who will be remembered as Baker
and Farron of Chris and Lena"
fame, will be another comedy num-
Der of the week. Mr.. Baker is real
entertainer; he offers a monologue
which is bright and snappy and he
sings and yodels and concludes his
turn with medley in 10 different
dialects. A pair of entertainers far
above the average will be seen in
John Hathaway and Emma Seigel
who will present their dancing
number which is said to be de-
cidedly unique and original. A most
delightful feature of the number
will be the stunning gowns worn by
Miss Seigel. The next on the list
will be the Les Theodors, who are
gymnasts whose skill in the ath-
letic line Is far above the ordinary.
The troupe will be seen in several
decidedly sensational features.
