Luxurious Place Where Blooded Ca
mines Will Be Cared Foe.
A luxuriously appointed club for
dogs has been established in London
Here comfort that might be envied by
the average business and professional
man will be afforded the pets whose
owners are able to meet the social re-
Guirements and pay the dues.
The dogs will share the use of their
quarters with their masters and mis-
tresses, but the connection of the
latter with the club will be dependent
upon the membership of the CANNES.
The initial expense of equipping the
place was 1000, and the cost of
maintaining it will be considerable.
A matron and four assistants will
look after the ordinary needs Of
members and veterinary surgeon
will call twice each day to provide
such medical attention as may be NEG
essary.
Lapdogs will be permitted to lounge
in the library and smoking rooms,
while the larger breeds will be ac-
commodated in suite of rooms
equipped with cushioned stalls and
brass fittings. Uniformed attendants
will meet the dogs at the door and
conduct them to their favorite cor
ners.
The dogs 10 not monopolize all the
good things, however. For his mas
ter and mistress the club provides all
the usual comforts of a luxurious
London club, not forgetting the inevi-
table bridge room, with periodical
house dinners, musicals, at homes
and other pleasant little functions,
including Sunday evening concerts.

There are approximately IL, 49,
900 telephones and 20, 566,00O miles
of telephone wire in the world, &C
cording to figures which have been
received by the Atlanta office of the
Southern Bell.
The worlds telephone investment
is placed at $1,729, 100000, which is
very nearly the value of all the gold

These figures were compiled from
world statistics for the first of this

show a tremendous increase. The
increase of 1912 over 1911 was ten
per cent in telephones and 10 per

by Professor Alexander G. Bell
During the past year the long dis

MEAN TRICK PLAYED ON CLAY
CONDEMNED WIFE MURDERER
TOLD HE WAS PARDONED.
Young Man Allowed in Fulton Jail
Day Before Clay's Execution to
Play q CI1IeI Hoax.

ATLANTA-Whis echoes OF
some remarkable occurrences which
are said to have taken place at the
Fulton county jail in connection with
the hanging of Robert L. Clay are so
sensational and are becoming so per-
sistent that some kind of an investi-
CATION is being talked of.
1t is declared at the court house
that man entered the cell of Rob
ert L. Clay in the dead of the night
before midnight Thursday, where the
condemned man was sleeping his last
sleep on earth, and bending over his
shoulder called out:
Bob Bob! wake up. here is good
news. The governor has granted
you a pardon. Here it is with the
official seal on it. Wake up and read
it! You are a free mani"
Clay, it is said, awoke, looked at
his visitor, solently stretched out his
hand for the paper without saying a
word. Then he opened and read it.
1t was nothing but a piece of leWd
poetry The whole thing, according
to what is stated at the court house,
was a contemplate effort of young
man not officially connected with the
Jail in any way to try by experiment
whether or not he could shock Clay
into breaking the silence which had
sealed his lips for seven months.
Cruel as his experiment was it failed,
for Clay groaned, put his hands over
his eyes and lay down again on the
bunk
1t is fair to state that Sheriff
Wheeler Mangum knew nothing
about the affair. But the point is
made that somebody in authority at
the Jail must have perm tied the
cruel hoax, else it could not have
been perpetrated.

A FTER sketching for two months
"a In various parts of the Rockies
- where he had been trying to
forget that he was the most
miserable fellow IN the west, Claude
Extrum, artist unarrived," as he styl
ed himself, turned his face toward his
lonely mountain cabin among the pines
In Rainbow canyon.
Purposely he had Stunned Denver,
declining the invitation of two artist
friends to a big Christmas reception.
He did not want to run the possibility
of meeting Aldyce. 1t would be pain
full to both, since her father had de-
nounced him as good for nothing,
fortune hunting dabbler."
Art must first be mastered, the cold
critics won, then If Aldyce had not
forgotten, his great dream would be-
come sweet reality. But what If
she should forget him? There was
capriciousness in the sex that was
quite beyond his understanding.
1t was noon when he reached the
large cabin among the pines. The first
room he visited was the studio, gay
with warm colored Indian blankets and
the walls covered with sketches by his
own brush and a few copies of the
masters. On his easel was an unfin-
ished picture, just as he had left it
when he went away in the latter part
of October. He drew aside the cloth,
brushed off the dust and looked long
into the laughing brown eyes of a
lovely girl. Underneath was penciled
the name "Aldyce."
With a deep drawn breath he re-
placed the cover and went into the
kitchen. In the large zinc lined pro-
vision box he found that Joe Clark, the
prospector who had looked after the
cabin during Claude's absence, had
obeyed his instructions by leaving
sack Of -four, some beans, sugar, part
of ham and dried venison.
"Now I'll have a supper after my
own appetite" he declared, making a
fire in the little stove.
Presently a pot Of beans, with a piece
Of ham to give flavor, was bubbling
away. filing the room with its savory
steam. Then Claude swept the floors,
wiped the accumulated dust off the
simple furniture and proceeded to make
a lonely house look comfortable.
II must decorate to be in spirit with
the season. he said, after scanning
walls and unadorned mantel shelf.
By the time the young man returned
with his arms full of decorations
cold wind was racing down the pass.
driving a steadily increasing fall Of
snow and sleet before it.
Gee! Old Boreas is sending me some

ANNUAL DEAD LETTER SALE
THE LIST INCLUDES ALMOST
EVERY IMAGINABLE THING.
Over Eight Thousand Articles Lost
in the Mail Will Be Put Up and
Sold to Highest Bidder.


WASHINGTON, D. C.-The annu-
al sale of articles which were sent
through the mail but could not be
delivered because neither the address
of the sender nor that of the address
ees could be ascertained began here
today at C. G.. Sloan C Cos. auction
rooms under the auspices of the dead
letter Office. There were in all 1856
articles, divided into lots, for the
sake of saving time at auction. The
list of the articles, which was issued
a few days ago, gives the contents
of every lot, and judging from the
queer combinations of many of the
lots the selection must have been
made by a humorist in the depart
ment The list includes every mag
Unable kind of articles-books, neck
ties, sofa cushions, millinery, gloves,
hundreds of pieces of jeWelry and a
number of rings, bracelets, brooches,
etc., of considerable value. Among
the articles is even fine diamond
weighing 3 1854 karats, which will be
auctioned separately. The attend
ance of the opening sale was large,
and the bidding spirited. 1t is ex-
pected that the sale will consume
several days.
Every one of the articles listed at
this sale reached the dead letter of

sender. In most cases the articles
had been carelessly packed and dur
ing the Christmas crush of last year
had worked through the wrapping or

$4,000 a Year for Pianist.


$4,000 a Year for Pianist.
Sold: The exclusive services of
Ludwig Schwab pianist, to Mrs.
Archibald S. White at $4,000 year.
Briefly stated, this is the whole sto-
ry, but the details are sufficiently in

on the part of a wealthy woman and
willingness on the part of man of

Mrs Archibald S. White, the wo-

indeed! Possibly it is not to her

woman who received from her has

PENSIONS TURN DOWNWARD

Of January Next.

II really looks as if the Georgia
nension list had reached a turning

extends it by further enactment so
thar still other classes may secure
pensions.
There Will be 1891 soldiers and
widows to draw pensions next year
and if will require $1.146,000 to pay
Them according to Pension Commits
sioner Lindsey, who has just COM
Mated his estimates for 1913.
This is more than $4,000 less
than was paid in pensions at the be-
ginning OF 1912. There were then
1896 pensioners on the roll and
tbev received a total of $1,193, 800.
This year there were sos new ap-
nlications for pensions, compare
lively small number Figuring the
normal death rate among pensioners
Commissioner Lindsey finds there
win be 1891 to draw pensions next
year.
The roll was materially increased
by the service pension bill enacted
several years ago and which added
about 100000 a year to the states
pension expense But it looks now
as if the descending scale has been
reached. 1t will depend, however,
ON what the legislature does in the
next year or two, There were sew
eral bills before the last legislature
the enactment of which would have
materially increased the pension
rolls, but none of them got through.
Pension legislation is always a
great resort to the politician, and
there is rarely a legislature but some
bill makes its appearance to pile up
the appropriations.
The pensions will be paid some
time in January, probably about the
latter part of the month.

SIXTEEN CARS CABBAGE

Fifteen Empty Refrigerator Cars
Arrived Last Night-Fear Market
May Break Soon.

Sixteen cars of cabbage were
shipped from Brownsville Saturday
and Sunday. Fifteen refrigerator
cars arrived last night. That the
car shortage is about to be relieved
is evinced by the fact that there are
more than 100 cars between here and
Houston at the present time, and
many more are expected to start for
the Valley Immediately.
Some Of the cabbage shippers are
expecting a slight break in the mar
ket price of that commodity soon.
In the past weeks of cabbage ship
ments practically all the cabbage on
the market was from the Valley. but
the crop from Louisiana and other
Southern states will commence NOV
ing soon, thus throwing the supply
almost equal to the demand.

General Huerta of the Federal Army
Will Allow a Few Days to Accept
Amnesty-0rozco's Funds Running
Low Soldiers Discontinued.
Associated Press.

ASSOclateQ PreSS.
Mexico City, April 21-Accordine
to dispatches sent by a special cor
respondent with the federal army in
the north, General Victorio Huerta
has given the rebels under the com
mand Of the insurgent general
Pascual Orozco, jr., fifteen days in
which to lay down their arms and
accept amnesty.
The minister of the interior said
here tonight that General Huerta had
authority to offer amnesty to the
rebels. He said, however, that if the
report was true he was unable to
say whether the advance of the fed
eral forces would be postponed to the
expiration of fifteen days.
Rumor here goes to the effect that
the government in Mexico City is
postponing its aggressive campaign
as long as possible. This postpone
ment is due to the report that Cen
Orozco's financial resources are be-
coming straitened.
1t is reported here that there is
much distress in the rebel army. 1t
is said that the insurrecto soldiers
are not paid regularly. It is also
said that the men are chatting at the
inactivity of the camp.
