REPRESENTATIVES, ARE
AGAINST THE SALE OF
STATES r. r. PROPERTY

Atlanta, Ga, August 3.-That
the sentiment Of the house of rep
resentatives is overwhelmingly
against the proposition to sell the
Western & Atlantic railroad, the
property of Georgia, was conclu-
sively demonstrated yesterday by
the rapid action on a bill which
has for its object the placing of
the question in the hands of the
people.
introduced by Representative
Estes of Lincoln and thirty-hve
other prominent members of the
house, the bill provides for a con
stltutlonal amendment prohibit
ing the sale of the road unless a
majority of the qualified voters
have authorized the sale and ap-
proved the terms of the sale sub
nitted to them in detail.
The Western & Atlantic COM
mittee of the house, which had
previously been placed in the en-
barrasslng attitude of favoring
the sale of the road met immedi-
ately following the adjournment
OF the house and unanimously
recommended the passage of the
Estes bill
The general opinion among the
members of the house is that the
agitation for the sale of the West
ern & Atlantic railroad has its
source in the privates Office of the
directors of the Louisville &
Nashville railroad; and the mem
bers of the house do not propose
to let the road be sold unless the
voters of the state, to whom the
road belongs, approve the terms
of the sale and authorize the sale
to be made.

Don't Let Lowered Vitality Run You
 Down In the Spring.
 ] If you should go to the doctor and tell him that you are given to being gloomy and blue at times; that you have apprehensions of dreadful things; that you are representative; that you are constipated given to headaches and vertigo or to other similar ailments the doctor would know that you were suffering from a case of nerves" Naturally when you realize that these symptoms are signposts to nerves" you can appreciate how impossible 1t is for a nervous woman to appear charming and beautiful. If these facts were only understood more universally by women they would be ashamed to admit they had nerves" and they would do all they could to cure them.
 No matter how talented a woman may be, how clever, how well read or how interesting, if she is a nervous wreck she will find that little by little her friends will see less and less of her until in time she will find 1t rare thing to have a caller. Not because the friends mean to be unkind, but be cause human nature is so constituted that it longs for happiness and warmth, not for sorrow and gloom.
 The fundamental cause of nervous ness is lowered vitality. So the wise woman will do everything she can to keep her vitality up to Its highest mark. If she feels that her vitality Is ebbing away she will stop everything and concentrate on building up the system, the nerve force and supply.

Birds as Lamps.

The natives of Trinidad make use Of the young guaCharO in an unusual man ner. The young are very fat and are freuuently found to weigh more than the full grown birds. Their fat Is used by the natives to produce an oil which is a substitute for butter Also 1t is frequently the custom of the natives to draw a wick through the body of a young guacharo and use 1t as a lamp or candle. Thus the guacharo is some times called the oil bird.

FATE PLAYS STRANGE
 PRANK WITH SAILOR
After Crossing Ocean In an Open Boat
 He Loses His Life In River

Lorain, 0. - Ludwig Eisenbraun, a German sailor, who was drowned here recently in Black river. was treated very strangely by fate. Eisenbraun was the hero of one of the greatest feats in marine history, achieved when he crossed the Atlantic ocean in a nineteen foot dOry.
 After encOuntering furious storms at sea, facing death a score of times in his frail open boat, he lost his life when his hand slipped on all icy rope, which he was using to climb to the deck of a lake steamer on which he was q watchman. and fell back into the river.
 On April II, 1903, Eisenbraun sailed from Boston harbor in his dory, Co lumbus II. On Nov. 23 of the same year he doCked his craft at Gibraltar.
 Once In a storm his boat was cap sized, and he lost water and provisions He rlghted the boat, and two days later was reprovisioned by a British steamer.
 He steered his craft against a sleep ing whale, and the aroused monster nearly capsiZed him.
 Eisenbraun had been a sailor on the great lakes for five years. He was fOrty-eigbt years old.

Minor League Owners Glad
Baseball Season is Over

respective club owners got together
and arranged a title series There
was quite a bit of interest, but the
series was a failure because the Ma
tional Commission or the National As
socation had nothing to do with il
and a pennant was not awarded
Several suggestions regarding a
series 'of this sort have been brought
out. A prominent club owner in the
western league some time ago
promised II his club was fortunate
enough to win the pennant In that
league to take il to the Pacific coast
for series with the Pacific Coast
League champions. Unfortunately, his
club did not win and this series was
not played. At that time he suggest
ed a plan which would bring together
the Glass A ana IA pennant winners
in an elimination series which finally
would settle the worlds minor league
championship. He even suggested
that the series be played annually I'm
Chicago st. Louis. Kansas City or
some other centrally located city
where accommodations could be OBJ
tanned for a huge number of fans and
where interest would be greater He
also said he believed each pennant
winning city could stage part of the
elimination games and the final con-
tests played in the cities whose clubs
got into the finals.
However. this would be little help
ITO the clubs in lower classifcations.
and IL would be n1anifestly unfair to
them TO leave them out. II seems TO
be a question TO he taken up at the
next meeting OF the National Associ-
alton and the club owner spoken of
has promised to bring It up at the
first opportunity.

Personally Appeals to Pas

Splitting Practice
TRAINMEN WILL
DISTRIBUTE CARDS

AS means OF protecting public
health. the Baltimore and Ohio Rail-
road system has inaugurated an anti
splitting campaign through which 1t
will make a personal appeal to those
who patronize it's trains aud passen-
ger stations to refrain from expec-
torating in public places
On a designated day each NINTH
this railroad will distribute through
the coaches OF its trains small card
on which the attention OF The public
is directed to the danger Of spread
ing disease Public health and other
authorities In the States through
which the railroad operates have
lent their approval 70 the campaign,
which will give effective cooperation
10 those who are trying TO safe
guard the public health.
Trainmen will distribute the cards
on the fifteenth day of the month. In
structions to the train employees and
station forces concerning distribu-
ton. point out that the plan adopted
offers an inoffensive and forceful
means OF directing the attention to
the danger of splitting In public and
makes It possible for the railroad to
lend its assistance In a compliance
with the law and promoting situ-

Baseball club owners in the minor
leagues, with very few exceptions. will
be glad to see the end of this season.
just as they we're tickled when they
wound up business a year ago Base
ball in the minors. apparently, has seen
its best days a year ago when bhsihess
was dull the whole Thing was laid to
the Federal League, and everyone was
happy; this year business again is dead,
but there is no one with good eXpla-
nation for IT,
However. there is one phase of the
baseball business shich probably applies
nearer TO the case of the minor Lacquer
than any other Minor leagues have
nothing To play for except the empty
honor-to professional athlete-of

players get their share of the gate. re-
ceipts and some city gets the honor Of
being the home Of the worlds baseball
champions
There is the remedy for the minor
leagues. If some way might be devised
for the minor leagues to play worlds
championship series It would give a
stimulus TO the game in the lower classi-
fcations. There would be a. driving
fight Wmong the various clubs to get
into this title play ard the big games
would put many a dollar into the Golfers
