gade Post at Fort MoPher-
son and Maybe More.

Senator Hoke Smith declared to-day
that ultimate development in the new
army plan meant that one-seventh OF
Uncle Sans troops would be stationed
in Atlanta and vicinity. The creation
Of a brigade post at Fort Mcpherson,
now certain, he said. would be the first
step In the vast scheme 10 concentrate
the entire army al seven or eight sta
lions.
Atlanta will not be merely brigade
post" said Senator Smith, but in time
it viii be the headquarters for "A mu. h
larger body of troops. This is no spe-
cial favor 10 Atlanta, but due 10 part Of
a general policy Of wise distribution of
troops"
Senator Smith asserted all real oppo

Seer Gets Real
Done on Puzzled Pair.

\ story is being told around town 20
day that two well known Atlantans-
Burton Smith and Charles Phillips
have been puzzled beyond reason by
the successful tricks of a gypsy fortune
teller, Madam Boswell, who has her
tent on North Forsyth street.
Coming down Forsyth street the 9TH
er day, these two citizens spied the
tent and walked in. They had not seen
that Walter Taylor, the city clerk, who
learned all the arts of fortune telling
when he was reporter here during the
1895 exposition. was following close be-
hind them
One of the gypsies was standing IN
front of the tent as Mr.. Taylor came
up.
You can talk to your partner with
out those men understanding, can;
you?" he asked.
Yes" she answered
He gave her brief history of the
two men The woman rushed into the
tent. Mr. Taylor took his stand on the
other side Of the street.
He waited for something like half
hour. But, II is said, his reward in
laughter was worth the wait. AZ they
came out, Mr.. Smiths head was bent
forward in deep thought. MT. Phillips
was rubbing his hands and shaking his
head in worried bewilderment.
This story will enlighten them.

SMOKE AND FIRE
TRAP CHILDREN
AND WOMEN
Firemen Rescue Occupants of
Ivy Street Apartment House
on Ladders.

Shut off by dense smoke from escape
from the third floor Of the Oglethorpe
apartments, 1876 Ivy street. women and
children to-day had to be taken from
the building down ladders by fremen, III
the first of a series of three fires that
threatened the apartments.
The building filled with smoke from a
blaze that originated in the boiler room
and did considerable damage in the
basement. Occupants of the first aud
second floors fought their way through
the smoke to safety. but women and
children on the third floor found the
stairway choked with heavy volumes of
smoke that poured into the various
apartments and became sitting.
There was a rush to the front Of the
building and some stood at a window
until the firemen. who had just reached
the scene, could hoist a ladder and res
cue the. Little Ella sue Hard. aged
eight years. and Margaret Hiuard Hard.

Mrs. y. s. Hard. were the first lifted
through the window and taken down
the ladder. Then followed Mrs. Ella
Williams and Mrs Margaret Buchanan.
Of Nashville. who is visiting Mrs. Hard,
Mrs ]. Crowder. who also has an
apartment on the same floor, was next
taken down the ladedr. and she was
followed by Mr.. Hard and a negro maid.
Children Saved.
Fearful that she and her children
might perish before they could be res
cued, Mrs. W. c. Galloway determined
to brave the smoke and save the chill
dren at the peril of her own life. Mrs,
L. r. Dickinson and her sister, Miss
Hazel Rainey.
Mrs. Galloway seized her baby girl,
Dorothy, one year old and dashed into
the hall and toward the stairs which
could NOT even be seen in the smoke
and darkness Mrs. Dickinson and Miss
Rainey each took one Of the other two
children, May aged five years, and Bob
bic. three years old, and followed the
lead Of the mother.
Blinded by the smoke and almost
stified, the three CROPPED their way
down the stairs 10 the second floor,
where the smoke was even more dense.
Finally they managed to reach the first
floor and almost fell out into the fresh
air and safety.
Mrs. II. G. Newman, who has apart
ments on the second floor. displayed
rare nerve and pluck throughout the
excitement.
Second Blaze.

NOISELESS
HEALTHFUL TIMES

CAMBRIDGE. April 23-A noiseless
world, minus all clamor, is the boon
foretold for coming generations by
DIR. Clarence John Blake. Harvard's
well known ontologist.
"rhe world of tomorrow" said DR.,
Blake today, while not soundless,
will be a practically noiseless one. The
campaigns now being waged by war
fare committees and other associa-
tions. both indoors and outdoors,
mean that as the work branches out
so much nearer shall we be to a
quieter and healthier state of exist
ence.
"Noise-at least, loud noise-is
needless. Impairment of the hearing
faculties, aside from being caused by
sound. is caused also by dust sub
stances and injurious gases that come
into contact with the mucous men,
branes in the nose and throat, thus
distressing the organs of the inner
ear and causing deafness
Occupations which may affect the
ear are mining. stone cutting. engi-
neering, stoking,/ metal Industries
glass blowing, manufacturing Of BIZ
chromate OF lead, dealing in old rags
horsehair and sawdust, match maxi
ing, -four making, diving and blowing
of wind instruments Mother-of-pearl
cutting is the most dangerous of all q
the hearing"
