VOLTAIRE'S BIRTHDAY RECALLS A MEMORABLE
 DUEL OF WITS

VoItaire's birthday will be celebrat- ed in Paris to-day by the admirers of the immortal French philosopher and wit, as it has been on every twenty first of November for over a century. The anniversary recalls a memorable duel of wits between voltaire and Pitou, the epigrammatist. They had exchanged challenges for a literary duel, in which each was to attempt to write the briefest possible letter. It was on his birthday, when Voltaire was going into the country for days holiday, that he wrote to his antag- onist, "Eo rus,'' which is the com plete Latin for ''I am going into the country" Pitou's reply was even briefer, for it consisted of the letter 'I,'' which, in Latin, means ''go.' Vol taire has been the subject of hundreds of anecdotes. On one occasion. it is related, he remonstrated with young poet who had subverted his genius to base uses. @'But must 1tve,'' plead ed the youth, in extenuation. 'I sec no necessity was the reply of the philosopher. Victor Hugo. whose eulogy of Voltaire at a, celebration of the birthday of the latter ranks among the classics of French oratory, also engaged in duel of brevity. Being absent from Paris and anxious to know how his new novel, Les Miser- ables," was selling, he wrote to his publisher, "?'', and the latter replied with an expressive and triumphant s-.'

John Gatchell and Sarah Cloutman were married in Maine 146 years ago to-day, under circumstances that were highly interesting, as set forth in a certificate of marriage on file among the records of Lincoln county, Maine. At the period when the bIushing bride and the stalwart swain were united in the holy bonds of matrimony by Will liam Lithgow. a justice of the peace. there was a Maine law which held the husband responsible for any debts of his bride, in case she brought him any legal property. As outer cloth ing was defined as legal property" the couple resorted to an expedient which is thus described: This is to certify that John Gatchen and Sarah CIoutman, both inhabitants of Kenne- bec River, a little below Fort Halifax, and out of the bounds of any town, but within the county of Lincoln, were first published, as the law directs, at said court and there married; said Clooutman being in debt was desirous Of being married with no more clothes on her than her shift, which was granted, and they married each oth- CT on the 21st day of November A.

JUDGE HILL MAY
HEAR FRANK CASE
Notice Of Judge Roam CompeIs
Solicitor Dorsey to Prepare
Answer By October II.

Who will sit as Judge on the ap-
real of Leo Franks lawyers for a
new trial?
Judge l.. S. Roam, eager to dispose
If all his Superior Court cases before
he takes the seat on the Govt of APP
peals bench to which he was appoint
ed, Saturday requested Solicitor Cen
eral Dorsey to have ali pending mo-
tions set for October and October
IL. He expressed at the same time
the hope that the Frank motion be
decided, so far as the Superior Court
is concerned, by that time.
However, the amended motion for
4 new trial has not been served on the
Solicitor by Franks attorneys. 1t is
considered likely that Mr.. Dorsey will
require a longer time than the two
V eeks before October II in which ia
study the case the defense sets forth
and to prepare his answer.
1t is likely, also, that Judge Roam
will not retain his position in charge
of the Superior Courts criminal
docket longer than October II, the
rush of work in every quarter neces-
stating his assumption then of his
duties on the Court of Appeals, and
necessitating as well that Judge Ben
Hill take over the work in the Su-
perior Court and perhaps hear the
Frank arguments.

1t was in this forest that WesteT-

and piercing shOut-and ran into the
tree. He was scraped off and several
branches brushed his face with any

Westervelt Terhune Also in Peril as He Is
Brushed From Horse by Tree

The Brookhaven Hunt Club, organ
lied recently as one of the activities
of the Brookhaven Country Club, the
summer home of the Capital Cry
Club, held it's first hunt Saturday aft
ernoon, starting the hounds on the
club grounds and concluding the ten
mile run about a quarter of a mile
east of the clubhouse.
The hunt was what is known as 4
drag hunt" with one break-a ten
minute rest. A skin was dragged
over the course a short while before
the chase began, and the hounds fol-
lowed the scene of this. 1t was found
impossible to use a real COX in tn .
chase, because they never could be
caught if they got loose in the hills
and valleys that surround the club
house.
Fifteen members Of the club. head
ed by ]. s. Slicer, as NJ. F. H., start
ed in the hunt-and eight of them
finished with the hounds. Four of
the others got lost and didn't appear
for an hour after the hounds came
in; three became discouraged and GU
across lots for home; one of the
young women, Miss Mary A Jones,
had a thrilling experience when her
horse, Firecracker, broke his curb
chain and bolted, ard Westervelt Ter
hume, one of the most enthusiastic %
the hunters, ran his mount too close
to tree and was sCraped off, alight-
ing with great energy, but slight
pleasure, upon a solid and unyielding
log.
These, however, were regarded as
merely the incidental mishaps that
crop up in any fox hunt, and all OF
the hunters are enthusiastic and eager
for more.
Another Hunt Planned.
1t is planned to hold a hunt eve-y
Saturday, and next week, when the
course will start at he club grounds,
circle Silver Lake. and return to the
club, it is expected that there will be
between 80 and 40 in the chase. The
club also expects to purchase a pack
of hounds, about fifteen or twenty,
which will be trained and kept at the
clubhouse. The dogs used in yester-
days hunt were borrowed from farm
ers living in the vicinity.
The course of the chase yesterday
was laid out several days in advan e,
and numerous jumps were arrange l.
Small fences, similar to the ordinary
rail fence but not quite so high, were
erected, and the course also took in a
number of bitches and deep gullies,
over which the riders had to urge
their mounts. Several miles were

one of the youthful spirits of At
Ianta, in spite of the fact that next
week, on October 4, Mrs. G. A Howell
will give her party on the occasion
of her 18TH birthday.
No person in Atlanta probably has
more friends than Mrs. Share. She
has been in Atlanta nearly so years,
and has nursed the sick and petted
the babies and danced at weddings
and helped comfort at funerals All
very sincerely and motherly and
hence the birthday parties that come
every year; a tribute of affection. /.
