ceding the Boer war. The following
letter. which was among those brought
to this country by Isaac Don Levine
discloses his object is to hamper the
British in Africa as much as possible
so as to profit by it in Asia:
"COBURG, April 10, 1ss6-Dearest
Nicky: The merry wedding which is
taking place here and the faces OF
many of the guests remind me of two
years ago when it was my good fortune
to be able to help you to secure that
charming and accomplished angel who
is now your wife. The "reminiscences
of April, 1894, were also felt by the
others. and from that cause they all
agreed that We should send you the
telegram you Will have got. l ven

promise then anything that you have
not afterwards found in your matri-
monial life. May Gods blessing be on
you both, especially in the next month

world I thank you most heartily for
your kind letter you sent me through
Werder the day / left for the Medi-
terranean. He was so happy over his
stay in Petersburg, having seen so
many well known faces. I quite agree
with what you say in the end of your
letter about the Britishers, their fan
farronades against US make them su-
premely ridiculous. and make no i'm

hampered in Africa, the better for US

NEW YORK, January II (by the As
sociated Press) Stock promoters and
swindlers who have been driven from
thirty-eight states. where blue sky
laws exist, are f1ourishing in New
,Ecrk as never before. according to
Edwin p. Kilroe, assistant district
attorney in charge of the investiga-
ton of commercial frauds.
Mr.. Kilroe charges that most of the
operators are composed Of confidence
men, ex-convicts, racetrack touts,
gamblers and men of the baser sort"
who. as soon as their crooked work is
made public. move to another part of
the metropolis and resume business
under another name.
Investor without Protection.
1T is remarka ble," says he, that in
this state. which is the financial CEN
ter of the world, the investing public
should be left without protection and
that the dark age law of caveat
emptor should reign here"
Attacking the majority report of
Gov. Smiths blue sky law commission
as "a prayer to allow the predatory
Wall street interests to continue their
pillage without let or hindrance," Mr.
kilroe. in a report to District Attor-
ney Swami. opposes the recommends l.
ton to turn the prosecution of crook
ed Wall street concerns over to four
deputies and the attorney general OF
the state.
Methods OF Swfnd1ers.
''The recommendation" he SAYS
that nothing be done by the present
Legislature except the appointment of
a commission to redraft the penal law
is ineXpedient and would accomplish
no good result. All of the facts a
commission SO appointed could possi-
bly, obtain are now in the possession
of the district attorney of New York

road mileage returns from the cOun-
ties of Georgia have been received hy
the state prison commission, and will
be used as the basis of apportioning
cOnvicts.
Under decision rendered. by Judge
Pendleton. of the Fulton superio"
court, the counties have the right TO
use the mileage of streets within the
limits of cities and towns as part Of
their aggregate road mileage. but ap,
parently some of the large counties
of the state omitted their city street
mileage in making returns.
Judge Pendleton's decision was ren
dered on a suit brought by the Fulton
county commissioners to test the con
stitutionality of the act of the legisla-
ture providing for apportionment OF a
basis of rural road mileage and excla-
sive of streets in towns and cities.
The total mileage shown by. the re-
turns is 95.035, but revision ty
counties which failed to corlt their
city streets will run the total to 100,-
900. The total convicts are 2.01S.
Hence the apportionment will figure
about twenty-three convicts to each
1000 miles of roads.
Fulton county returns 5000 miles,
which includes the streets of Atlanta.
while Bibb county returns only 400
miles. and Chatham county only 419
miles, which manifestly does not in

districts allotment to nearly $4O0 900,

further stated that "A district high

quarters at Waycross-and his rec

mine on what roads that 100000

is estimated that it will take the state
from three to five years to complete
this system of countyse; t to county

"The county author. ties" asserted
Mr. Mann, 'can greatly expedite the
completion of the state road system by
grading. and putting their road desig-
mated as the state system, in good
condition, so that they will be packed
and settled by the time the state

Speaking of the sentiment here
abouts, Mr.. Mann said, 1.-The good road
sentiment in Glynn county is at fever
heat, and it is understood that the
counties on the lines which I ave
just mentioned are equally as entEu'
siastic, and this being true there is
no good reason why considerable por
tion of the state funds should not be
secured and spent on this important
