Furs to Be Dearer.

London, March 19.-Although the
demand for furs has not been so
great this season as in former years.
many women who buy them at this
season because they are cheaper, re-
serving them for next year, are star
tied at the prediction that furs will
be dearer next year. The Easter
trade has increased the price in
furs from 20 to 80 per cent over
last years figures. A prominent fea.

popularity of the American skunk.

FLANDERS CASE
ENDED; RUMOR
CONFIRMED
Evidence Is Insufficient to Show
Woman Had Guilty knowledge
of Staying, Prosecutor Says.

SWAINSBORO. GA, July 6.-The
reports which have been published
from time to time that Mrs. Matte
Flanders will never be tried for muir
der of her husband to-day are for
mally confirmed by statement made
by A. S. Bradley, of counsel engaged
by the Flanders family to prosecute
the woman.
THE State does not expect to try
the case against Mrs. Flanders, and
/ will ask the court to enter a nolle
prosequi." Mr.. Bradley said.
This in fact seems to be the only
honorable course to pursue, frankly
so far as the attorneys representing
the prosecution are concerned. We
have been convinced of the fact ever
since the trial of DIR. MCNaughton.
and before the jury rendered YER
dict the matter was discussed among
us. We decided that while the evil
dence showed beyond a doubt the
guilt Of DR., MCNaughton il was legal
ly insufficient to connect Mrs. Elan
ders with the crime.
There is great distinction between
the cases against the two defendants,
by the line Of reasoning the Supreme
Court adopted in arriving at judg-
ment sustaining their verdict against
DR.. MCNaughton.
The State is not in possession Of
sufficient evidence to even lead to a
conclusion that Mrs. Flanders was
aware that drugs administered to her
husband were poisonous.
We have continued the trial so
far for the sole reason that we felt
that it might be possible more evil
denCe would be obtained. 1t has not
been obtained and there seems to be
no reasonable possibility that any
stronger case can be made out at this
time If more evidence can be brought
to light in the future It still would
be possible to indiCt the defendant
and try her
Frankly ] always have felt that I
did not care to go before a jury and
ask it to render a verdict Of convic-
ton in a case in which I have abso-
lutely no confidence in the legal suf-
fiCienCy Of the evidence"

Reading Clerk McCIatchey's g.
Year-0Id Son Has Determined
on Career of Public Service.

Eight years Of age with three years
experience as a page in the House
of Representatives is the luck Of d.
F. McClatchey. Jr., who is also quite
fond of sitting on the knee of his
father, who has been Reading Clerk
of the House for sixteen years.
Young D. F. bids fair to prove
as popular as his father, who man
ages to inject enough life in the
reading of House bills to make it
pleasant for the Legislature. Acous-
tics of the House are not the best in
the world, and the powerful voice Of
D. F. McClatchey is about the only
one which has ever overcome this
difficulty.
The ambition of young D. F.,
though, is to combine the positions
of Reading Clerk and Speaker. He
like his fathers Job, but he also has
a great longing to handle the gavel.
He is sure of a place as page in
the House until he is old enough to
vote, when he expects to become a
full-fiedged member of the House.
He will then take a turn in the Sem
ate, put in a couple Of terms as Gov
ernor. try out Congress for a few
terms and then make himself Presi-
dent. And there's not a member of
the House who does not believe this
prediction is more than apt to come
true. The youngster can shake hands
with you as heartily as any politi-
clan who ever lived, or curl up IN
his fathers lap as cute and loving as
a youngster should be-
Keep your eye on that young Nc.
Clatchey," is the way his father likes
to refer to him.
