two weeks,p Miss Carrera continued, Il was simply heartbroken; beautiful, happy Paris all in darkness after nightfall- can you imagine it? The gay, carefre.e, insouciant spirit which pervaded Paris before the war is all gone, of course; in the interior it is even worse; wonderful cities and villages historically beautiful. are destroyed, and palaces and other places of interest are devasted, demol- ished ruined! Wonderful places have been converted into hospitals. But we will win; we will never be beaten; the United States going into war means a hasty termination of war and then, then, Yive Ia France, Vive Ia France
 And the adorable mother" l observed. What is she doing?"
 La petite Carrera's s eyes filled to the brirn at the mention of her mothers name and she said softly;
 "Her heart is broken for France; she cannot go back; she can only do what I am doing-something that will help.
 "Oh. I do so love America and Amer fcansl They are so brave and fine and loyal and every recruit that 1 secure for the army means great victory to me- far greater than any triumph l could have on the stage, MISS Carrera salu. CT don't care whether I have pretty clothes or not: I never give them thought: I even hate to give up the money for costumes-I want it all to send hack to France-for the babies Ard the widowed women and the blind soldiers! sold my photograph to a gentleman on tbe train coming over here from Atlanta Sunday afternoon and Immediately gave inc s9 to the Red Cross! It was my bit inst a little bit, but it made me very .happy!'

La Petite Carrera Once Furiously Chic Terribly Clever and Delicously Naughty, Now Serious
 Over Wars Dread Scourge," Says Dolly

La Petite Carrera, once furiously chic. terribly clever and deliciously naughty like her Parisienne mama" (could any higher compliment be paid her?) tells you the story of her heart when you glance into her tear-stained eyes, and you mo- tice the droop of her pretty little mouth, and hear the culver in her sympathetic little voice.
 An belle Parcel Who would have im- agined one of her favorite daughters who like her mother, has been the toast of Parisienne clubs and boulevard cafes, who has entertained vast audiences at the Theatre des Capucines and the Thea tre des Varieties; who has catered to the tastes of American audiences in song and play; who has been the adored subject of French artists who has been the 1n- spiration of poets An belle Parcel Who would have imagined one of her favorite daughters delicately evading her triumphs and personal victories and emerging her self heart and soul in the seriousness Of wars dim scourge? And yet this is what has come to the little Carrera I pledge it; which only goes on to show that you never can tell what sort of combination Paris will turn out in fem ininity.

It is only another example of the splen- did spirit of heroism which the French women have displayed during the war; 1t is only another example of the universal woman; it is only another example of how quickly the foolish, silly, flippant things of life give way to the big, fine, heart-cuaities in times of real need.
 I take off my hat to la petite Carrera I love her chainmail spirit of devotion to her country; l admire her enthusiasm and her determination to gather recruits from among our American men, even if she must give them a kiss in return; i; I like the broad minded, splendid atti- tude she has toward all that means any, thing to her beloved France and more than all I like the transformation from butterfly of fashion, with gewgaws and frills and furbelows topmost in her little head when I met her four years ago here to a woman, wistful, serious genuine-as I found her yesterday when she'd shaken the chrysalis that bound her to worldly things-and achieved a mission which is at once commendable and worthy!
 Little Miss Carrera, with charming naivette and a deliciously foreign ac- cent told me some interesting things of her recruit work yesterday, as I chatted with her in her dressing room.
 Madame" she murmured as I entered, ''I am so pleased; welcomeH
 ''Mademolsel," I replied in my gen. tlest pianissmo, 'it is I who am pleased.
 Tell me of your work
 "Ah, my work" she smiled back through dimmed eyes. Tt Is wonderful; everybody has been so sweet to me here; have secured a number of recruits and I am so happy! I have lunched and dined with the soldier boys and they have welcomed me so cordially. have just started my recruiting work, and Atlanta was the first place I invaded. I am teaching the soldier boys to speak French as I go along; l have little printed pamphlets which I am distributing in the camps with few simple phrases in French and English and I go over the lessons with the boys and teach them how to pronounce the words; this WI help them considerably when they are on the other side"

MlsTRIA. RESULT
OF DAMAGE CASE
JURY, OUT FOR MANY HOURS
UNABLE TO REACH VERDICT
IN THE CASE.

After being out from O'Clock Fri
day afternoon until II o'clock yes
terday morning, the jury in the case
of Mr.. and Mrs ]. r. Winn, of Jesup
VS.. the Southern Railway company
suit for damages, as a result of the
death of the son of the plaintiffs, was
called into the court by Judge Krauss
and discharged, mistrial being de-
clared.
The result of this suit was gener
ally predicted by people about the
court house as soon as the jury re
tired, and it was predicted in The
News yesterday morning that a mis-
trial would more than likely be the
result.
The jury, it is understood, argued
the case from every angle, deliberat
ed many hours over it, but still they
were unable to come together. The
twelve members were hopelessly di
vided from the beginnin, and Judge
Krauss, realizing that it was impos
sible for the men to agree, decided
to call a mistrial yesterday morning
rather than keep the jury out longer

PUBLIC SCHOOLS
TO OPEN SESSION
Il ON SEPTt MSER \
Some Steps May be Provided to
III Accommodate the Many New
4 Children to Attend School
This Fall.

The public schools of Brunswick
will open the 1878 session on Mon
day, Sept. II, and preliminary ar
rangements for the opening are now
being made by Superintendent Bal
lard
That there will be a big overflow
at all the schools this session there
is no doubt, and the board of educa-
tion fully realizes that unless some
thing is done within the next month
there will be many children in the
city who cannot attend school for the
lack of accommodations 1t is hard
to estimate at present just how mnay
will have to be refused, but. in view
of the fact that the schools were
overcrowded last season and the fur
ther fact that so many families have
removed to Brunswick during the
summer the indications are that the
overflow will be unusually large.
1t is understood that the board of
education will meet and endeavor to
solve the matter in some way before
the opening date. 1t has been sug-
gested by one or two people in the
city that, if nothing else can be done,
large building if one can be Sc
cured, should be rented and equipped
as best it can, and thus accommodate
all of the new children. This mat
ter, as we'll as number of other
ways to solve the situation, will like
ly be taken up when the board meets.
