would never let him do anything but
take part in merely ceremonial func-
tions and this feeling of irritation was
deepened after his nephew, the Kaiser
came to the throne 1t was very gall
ing to the uncle to find himself perpetu-
ally relegated to a back seat, while the
nephew was posturing in the limelight
of the world as master OF many iegions
and war lord of the German empire. He
once said plaintively:
Look at my nephew. He is but. a
youth. but is the center of everything.
He orders everything directs everything.

Plans of the Queen
The Queen however, had her own rea-
sons for dissatisfaction with the Prince.
She was reported to have said at one
time when people were telling her he
would be very different man IL he were
saddled with responsibility, Don't talk to
me about that; no man changes his char
acter after he Is So. But this man did
change his character after he was 90. as
ali the world testfies today malicious
saying was imputed to him, which, If UNI
true, was at least cleverly invented. One
summer when at Maricnbad. or some
watering place on the continent. the
Prince attended religious services, and
he always was very punctiliws in at
tending religious services, both at home
and on the continent, they sang the
hymn Eternal Father Strong to Save
When they left the church the Prince is
said to- have remarked to one of his
cronies:
I'VE have heard a good deal about the
Eternal Father, but I am the only person
in the world who is troubled with an
eternal mother ~
At that time the queen seemed as II
she was going to live forever.
The Prince. up to the very time OF MS
accession to the throne, chafed bitterly
against the Queens refusal to allow him
to share in the councils of the realm and
one of the reasons for his liberal ten
dency may be traced to the fact thai
Gladstone always paid him Difference, sent
him state papers and treated him as be-
| fitted an heir to the throne
| Most of the unfortunate incidents whicf
| led the world to form d mistaken opin-
ion of his character may be traced te
the fact that he was in a position where
he was bored to death by an endless
sentrygo of monotonous. soul-wearyins
ceremonial.

SOUTHERN BAPTIST
CONVENTION TO MEET

Baltimore, May s.-The Southern Bap-
fist convention will meet in Baltimore to-
morrow, after which it will adjourn to
Washington city.
Questions of vital interest to the church
at large will be discussed-Sunday schools,
missionary work, laymen's work, colleges
and other schools.
Great interest attaches to the report OF
the several boards which have charge of
the Baptist church work at home and in
the foreign field. The foreign mission
board will report that the past year has
been most prosperous financially, and in
conversions in the foreign field The col
lections exceeded $500 1000, with expendi-
lures in excess of the receipts.
For the first time in several years the
home mission board will report no debt.
The receipts during the past year were
1886, 600.

OPERA rs SUCCESSFUL

Atlanta. May S.-(Special ITO meet a
demand Tor a report which will cover in
a single volume and in brief, succinct
form, all of ne mineral resources of
Georgia, State Geologist S. w. McCallie
has Just prepared and received from the
press Bulletin No. %, which is known
as a preliminary report on the mineral
resources of Georgia"
The geological department has already
issued some % bulletins on Georgia min
erals, but none of them has dealt with
the subject in its entirety. Professoy Nc
Callie has now arranged to fill this want,
and the new bulletin may be had by those
who are interested in this particular in
dustry.
The bulletin contains a comprehensive
geological map of the state, with de-
scription of the photography and geolog-
ical formations of the state, and the fol-
lowing Georgia minerals are discussed'
Asbestos, barytes, bauxite, cement clays,
coal. copper, crundum, fuller's EARTH gold
granite. gneiss, graphite, iron, limestone,
manganese, marble. mari, mica ocher
precious stones. pyrites, road materials.
poll. mineral waters, artesian wells and
water powers.
The treatment of each product is local;
that is. written with especial reference
to the Georgia deposits. The information
is condensed and written in such way
as to be easily accessible. The report
shows that the state is endowed with a
great variety of economic minerals, which,
when developed. will add much to the
states wealth.
1t is believed that the report, which is
intended only as summary of present
knowledge, will be an aid in the develop
ment of these rich and varied mineral
resources, and at the same time be of edu-
cational value and general interest to the
citizens of the state
The report comprises 2os pages and has
20 Photographic illustrations. Copies may
be obtained for the price of postage,
which is II cents, from the state geolog-
ical department.

+, Crusade Against Liquor Selling

Chicago. May S.-Thirty breweries have
1oined with the Chicago police in their
crusade against the selling of liquor in
tenderlon resorts. The brewers have
given Police Chief Steward a written
guarantee that they will assist in pre-
venting the sale of intoxicating liquors
IN all resorts in the city and will not de-
liver beer to any resort placed under a
ban. The brewers have made 1t plain to-
day that the administration of any large
city can prohibit the sale of liquors in
dens of vice if the administration so de-
sires.

1t may be said without exaggeration that
the presentation here of grand opera THIS
week has proven one of the most sue
cessful of Atlanta's undertakings. In
fact. Atlanta has rarely done anything
which has proven quite SO successful
as this.
The total receipts from the five operas,
which will not be known exactly until
next week, when a final accounting Is
made, were between $4,000 and so
while the cost of bringing the productions
here aggregated about $4,000 including
$4,000 paid to the Metropolitan Grand
Opera company and an expense of $4,000
in preparing the stage and decorating the
auditorium
The net profits, therefore, are approx
mately $1,000 or an average of $4,000 a
performance. This will be retained in the
treasury of the Atlanta Musical associa-
ton. composed of leading business men
who conducted the project. and will be
employed in some other movement of
similar and public nature.
The business men of Atlanta had sub
lime faith In the success of the project
from the start They were asked to guar
the opera company. The guarantees went
to $55, 600 and more could have been pro-
cured II it had been needed.
One audience alone, that which heard
Verdfs Aida" Wednesday night, paid
nearly half the guarantee TO the COM
pany There were more than 1000 people
in the house, which seats $780, and the
actual cash receipts were s1s,s6s.S2. The
receipts for the other performances av-
ara n Out coo zach
The two Atlantans who did more per-
haps, than anyone else for the success
of the movement were the president of
the association Col. w. l.. Peal, presi
dent of the American National bank. and
its secretary, Victor Smith. a well-known
lawyer who made frequent trips to New
York conducting the negotiations.
So pleased is the association with the
success achieved that there is talk of re-
pSeating the project next year upon even a
grander scale. extending 1t over two or
three weeks.
The aeroplane flights and automobile
races during the week, while fairly well
attended, were not nearly so successful

All the people living in eastern central
Georgia viii. have their eyes on the skies
on May IL. the date upon which Aviator
Charles X. Hamilton proposes to make his
sS-mile fight in bee line from Augusta
to Macon.
Mr. Hamilton is goirk to Augusta for =,
engagement, following which he has
date to show in Macon. Instead of maxi
ing the trim byFrail. as is customary he
has decided to fly across the country in
his aeroplane. and 1t is his purpose to at
tempt the trip without once lighting on
the ground
Whether he will be able'to do this or
not is a problem that remains to be
salyed. But he has an ,important purpose
in view. that of preparing himself for
the coming competition flight from New
York to Albany. -in-which 5000 prize
is the fstake. That will be trim of 1872
miles. and the conditions are that the con-
testants shall descend only three times
for gasoline
If Mr. Hamilton can make his flight of
IS miles from Augusta to Macon without
coming down he believes he will be able
to make the trip from New York to Al
bany with only one descent which will
be considerably better than the require
ments. In Faulhan's recent fight from
London to Manchester for a prize of $50 600
he flew 81 miles before his first descent.
1t is Mr. Hamilton's purpose to get a
ma chine for the New York-Abany trip In
which he can carry a fully supply of gas
oline. and to ATTEMPT at least to make
1t without a single descent. If he should
do that he would make a worlds record
for a single flight.
There will be much craning of necks be-
tween Augusta and Macon next Thursday.
There will, no doubt be some peopIe on
the route, too. who have never heard of a
| flying machine. which will result in much
wondering as to the nature of the peculiar
thing that is passing over their heads.

bribery against the recent session OF
the lagiel allure, has adjourned a nd
submitted to Judge Stout the follow
ing report exoneradng everybody
against whom there has been
the slightest suspicion:
1--WE have had before us ard ex-
amined a multitude of witnesses upon
the subject of bribery. Our inveurga-
ton was net a mere perfunctory MAX,
shift, but we used and exhausted ev-
cry means at our command to find o.
the truth.
Editorial writers and newspaper
reporters, who published rumors Of
the bribery, were before us. and
were subjected to the most searching
questions. They had no knowledge
of any member of the Legislature
having received pay. or who was
promised any kind of compensation
for his vote for or against any mea-
sure before the last general assem-
bly,.
1--WE industriously inquired into the
subject matter of the bribery i'm all
of its ramifications, net only as far
as the members of the general assem-
bly, were concerned. but we also made
the same character of investigation
as TO the officers charged with thu
management ard control of the Ken
lucky STAGE prison.

could or did give us any evidence al
all of bribery. Their sworn state
men.s were made up solely from va
grant 'hear-Say rumors,' with no foun
dation in fact to justify them, In so
far as we were able to learn.
"Al the newspaper men before us,
declared that they had no knowledge
of any bribery, and had printd only
rumors ard had never charged bib
cry against any official or other per-
sen.
1--WE 'grilled' the members of both
branches of the general a slembly,
those who have reputed to have been
lobbyists here during session, the
STATE prison officers and guaHds, the
ex-state prison officials ard all man
ner of men Chose who are believed,
or that we were given any reasonable
ground to believe, could give us such
information, had there been bribery

they seem to Us to be as much out of

DOYEN'S ELIXIR OF LIFE
Confirmation of the reported dis
covery Of a new substance to prolong
life by DIR. Doyen, the famous Paris
physician, has been cabled from the
doctor himself. He says that the sub
stance which he calls mycolysine. is
now available to duly authenticated
Americans physicians for test and ex-
pertinent II they apply through the
American embassy at Paris. Dr. Doyer
says further that four weeks will
suffice to convince the doctors of
the value of this discovery provided
the experiments age conducted in
diligently and faithfully and not with
incurables who are already near death
He assents positively that his dis
covery will probong human life nom
fifteen to twn'y years and that most
diseases of the respiratory, organs
and digestive tract Will disappear, AL
SO cancer of the skin. Mycolysine,
which is word meaning germ SOL
vent" is composed of coaloids, which
are fine particles of insolube sub
stances, but how derived the doctor
does not say but indicates that they
are extracted from the ferments OF
alchol and from puSrcd fats. These
colloids have the quality of causing
rapid destruction of poisonous microbe
by increasing the number of white
corpuscies (phagocytes). which act
as natural soavengers and destroy the
disease microbes. Then, them work
done, the phagocytes disappear.

Interested in the demonstration made
by DIR. Massey Cd Chicago with his
electric treatment for cancer. The
main features of the treatment are
first to pierce the cancerous tissue
with three zinc needles coated with
mercury and then turn on an electric
current of a thousand mill ampheres.
Soon the cancer bleached and then
shriveled. The same treatment was
then given to the healthy tissue sur
the cancer to destroy the
outlying colonies of germs.
