County Chairman Shelby Smith that

proved from Fifteenth Street to Buck
head, work to start in ten days or
two weeks. A large proportion of
the prospects who are taken to look
over property go by way of Peachtree,
and the realty dealers declare that
rough roads are not very conducive to
sales making.
As soon as some Of the forces work
ing in other sections can be shifted
to Peachtree, declared Mr. Smith, the
Peachtree improvements will be
started.
Repairs from Fifteenth Street to
Buckhead, by the way, will make of
Peachtree one Of the best thorough
fares in the State. The street was re-
Gently repaved from Sixth Street to

| STYLE WRITING HEREDITARY
Science Wakes Up to Fact That
the Public Have Long
Ago Realized.

London.-Non- scientific persons have
long realized the remarkable similar
ity in handwriting of members of the
same family, sometimes lasting for
half a dozen generations, and now,
it seems, science is at last waking up
to this suggestive fact in heredity.
Sir Hickman Goodlee, president of the
Royal College of Surgeons, said:
81 have lately been reading old let
tiers dating back to the early part of
the eighteenth century and I have
been struck with the way in which
mere handwriting is handed down
from father to son, and mother to
daughter.
TT is possible to trace quite clearly
my great-grandfather' writing in that
Of my cousins and my fathers and my
own. If mere handwriting is thus
transmitted, together with the tone of
the voice and the shape of the nose,
the question arises whether any one
need be ashamed of his defects, sorry
for his misdeeds, proud of his sue
cess, or satisfied with the conscious
ness Of virtue. We may feel the long
arms of our apelike ancestors stretch
ing out of the past and molding our
characters. We may read all that
has ever been written about free will
from the time of Aristotle, and we
may hug the notion that our actions
|, have been predestined from the nebu-
lous state of our planet.
But it makes no difference to us.
We are still doggedly convinced that
by taking thought we can add one
cubit to our stature, or at any rate
prevent it being one cubit less.'

NO POSSIBILITY OF DOUBT
Why Western Bishop Was Convinced
of the Ancient Lineage of His
Eastern Entertainers.

A western bishop once attended a
general convention in the east and
was entertained by New England
family of long and honorable, If not
lovable, lineage. They made no Sc
cret of a time-won superiority over
any one from the new and crude west,
and cited their Pilgrim ancestors con-
stantly. The bishop was minded to
bear this in Christian humility and
forbearance, and did. But on his re-
turn home, he recounted his expert
ences to the wife; and she. good soul,
spoke her mind as it is the privilege
of her kind to do, even where mere
man must be silent.
Il don't believe that their family
is such an old one," she remarked.
care you sure that their ancestors
were Pilgrims?"

the bishop This may seem to be
exaggeration, but at times you could
positively detect the fragrance Of the

crate ceremony. Mile. Ferdinande de
Lesseps struck the first blow OF pick.
AK at the point where the canal was to
enter the Pacific, each of the party fol
lowed with blow, and there was
vast quantity of applause and cham
payne.
From the very first the French COM
pany was beset with troubles. AS the
canal was not a government under
taking the work had to be let out to
contractors, and many of these prov
ed to be dishonest. They would take
out the soft dirt, collect the stipulat-
ed price per cubic yard, and then go
into bankruptcy At Bogota the poll
ticians not only exacted the usual
blackmail, but annoyed the company
with all manner of litigation. the ma
tive courts invariably ruling against
the French. Worst of all, perhaps,
were the yellow fever and malaria,
which killed off the engineers and
laborers by the thousand. In the last
three months of 1884 the death rate
per thousand was nearly 100, and in
September, 1885, it reached 1867.
Sanitary science had not yet learned
how to cope. with these diseases, and
there is every reason to believe that
their ravages alone would have been
enough to insure the failure of de
Lesseps' enterprise, without the gross
extravaganza and the dishonesty that
characterized the work
''The crash came in 1885, says Mt.
Edwards after eight years of as
brave a fight as man had ever made
against nature, the bubble burst. It is
estimated that stock had been issued
to the value of two hundred and fifty
million dollars. 1t is doubtful if half
this sum ever got near enough to
Panama to be expended on actual
work. Most of this paper was held by
French peasants and people of mod
crate means. They had been led into
it by the great name of de Lesseps.
You may be sure that none Of the orig
inal promoters were caught with stock

FINDS HEADLEss GIRL AT SEA
Fishing Schooner Captain Buries Body
Of Woman Clad in Expensive
Clothing.

Boston.-The discovery at sea of
the headless body of an extensively
dressed girl was reported by Capt.
Charles White Of the schooner Jennie
Gilbert, upon his arrival in port from
a sword-flshing trip. To the captain
it appeared that the head had been
skillfully severed with sharp
knife.
The body was picked up July 16
about 10 miles from Boston, in the
track of both ocean and coastwise
steamers. It evidently had been in
the water but a short time Capt.
White described it as that Of well
nurtured girl of from sixteen to TWEEN
ty years. The clothing gave no clew
to the identity of the wearer. Captain
White says he wrapped the body in
canvas and sank it in the sea.

Of its buildings, ranging in size from
de Lesseps' palace in Cristobal to

Americans. The hospital buildings at
