Gov. Atkinson, of Georgia, sent
a vigorous message to the State
Legislature, now in session, in re
gard to lynch law. The Governor
recommends that any county in

He also says the intended victim
should be armed and allowed to de
fend himself against his assailants.
RAILWAY STATISTICS.
Some figures concerning the oper
ation of railways in the United
States cannot fail to be of general
interest to the people. The ninth
annual report of the interstate Com
merce Commission for the year end
ing June 30, 1897, shows the immen
sity of the railway interests in this
country. The report ii comprehen
sive and some idea may be gained of
it by a perusal of the following sum
mary, taken from the Fort Smith
Times:
The total railway mileage was 182.,
776.63 miles, there being an increase
of 2,119.16 miles, or 1.17 per cent,
during the year. The aggregate
length of railway mileage, including
all tracks, was 240,129.12 miles. The
mileage of yard tracks and sidings
was 44,912.73 miles.
The number of railway corpora
tions was 1,985. Of this number,
1,008 maintained operating accounts,
782 were classed as independent op
erating roads and 226 as subsidary
operating roads. Of roads operated
under lease or other agreement, 324
received a fixed money rental and
192 a contingent money rental; 262
roads were assigned for operation
under forms of agreement rot easily
classified.
Total number of locomotives in
service was 35,950, or 25e more than
on the same date last year. Of this
number, 9,943 were passenger loco
motives, 20,351 freight locomotives,
5,161 switching locomotives and 495
unclassified. Number of cars of all
classes was T,297,649, an increase of
27,088 cars over p-evious year.
Number of ears in freight service,
1,221,887, an increase of 25,768. The
railways of the United States em
ploy 20 locomotives and 713 cars per
100 miles of line; 51,471 passengers
were carried and 1,312,381 passen
ger miles ' were accomplished per
passenger locomotive; 37,643 tons of
freight were carried and 4,684,210
ton-miles were accomplished per
freight locomotive. Total equip
ment, including in the term locomo
tives and cars, was 1,333,599. Of
this number 448,854 were fitted with
train brakes and 545,583 with auto
matic couplers. The number of
passenger locomotives fitted with)
train brakes was 9,816, and number I
of freight locomotives was 17,921.
Numbermf men employed was 826,
620, an increase of 41,856 over pre-i
vious year, which, on a mileage I
basis, gives 454 men per 100 miles j
of line. Assignment of men to four
main divisions of operating expenses j
was as follows; General operating
expenses was as follows; General {

THE NAVAL CHAPLAIN.
His Official .Station and Duties In Time of
Battle.
The chaplain’s official station in most
ship ceremonies and in time of battle is
at the siok bay, where lie the sick. Dis
; oipline and fresh air are wonderful pre
i servatives of health, and a chaplain’s
• duties to the sick in times of peace are
very light. At naval hospitals, however,
whither aro brought from the ships the
very siok and the seriously wounded, ;t
chaplain finds ample field for the exor
cise of that tender .sympathy which
wins souls to God and for the minister
ing of the consolations of religion. It ie
also the duty of the chaplain to assist
at naval burials. The regulations re
quire that Christian burial be provided
for all men who die in the service, Tf
possible, tho body i3 interred with the
rites of the church to which the deceas
ed had belonged. When this sad duty is
required at sea, tho shii> is hove to, the
flag displayed at half mast and the offi
cers and men aro mustered on deck to
pay their last tribute to tho departed.
Tho funeral services follow, and tho
body is then consigned to the deep. A
guard of honor fires three volleys over
the watery grave and tho bugler souuds
the last “taps”—sad, mournful notes of
the bugle which tell of the hour of
sleep. If the death occur at a hospital,
an escort and a guard of honor from the
ship to which the deceased had been at
' tached accompany tho funeral cortege
I to the grave. As the procession enters
the cemetery the bugler precedes, fol
lowed by the chaplain. This spectacle
! is always impressive. It naturally sug
' gests the i>rayer that angels, led by the
angel guardian, may bear the soul of
the deceased before the throne of G‘od
as friends bear the body to the grave;
that the angel at the judgment scat
may proclaim welcome, joy and glad
ness as the bugler at The grave recalls
loss, sadness and regret.—Donahoe’a
Magazine.

FORMER DUELS.
Some of lho Famous Afliitr* of Honor of
tho Past.
General Benedict Arnold fought a
duel near Kilbum Wells in 1791 with
Lord Lauderdale, who, after Arnold
missed him, refused either to fire or to
apologize, saying that if the general
was not satisfied he could keep on firing
until he was. Iti 180-1 the turbulent
Lord Gamelford, the symmetrical ar
rangement of whoso whips and sticks
over his chimneypiece is described by
Byron, “From the thick bludgeon to
the taper switch,” lost his lifo in a
duel he owed to a vengeance de femme.
Captain Best had caught a sharper
named Syr.muds in the act of cheating
and kielnd his taco to a pulp. The
man’s wife wrote- Camelford an anony
mous letter to tell him his friend Best
had slandered him. A duel was fought
with pistols (they were tho two best
shots in England), and Camelford fell
with a mortal wound. “You have killed
me, Best,” said the dying man, “but
tho fault is wholly mine. 1 relieve you
of all tho blame. ” But men of mature
years and established reputation risked
life as recklessly as the wildest young
guardsmen or London rakes.
Charles James Fox fought a duel with
a cabinet minister, Mr. Adam, in 1779.
Four shots were exchanged. Adam
missed, Fox fired in the air and apolo
gized. “Sic,” said Adam, “you have
behaved like a man of honor. ” In India,
toward the end of tho last century, a
duel was fought botweon Warren Hast
ings and Sir Philip Francis, the latter
being dangerously wounded. Shortly
afterward, in Bombay, Lord Macartney
and Mr. Sadler quarreled at the council
board, and in the duel Macartney re
ceived a dangerous wound. The Earl of
Talbot and John Wilkes, lightinga duel
at night in the garden of tho Red Lion
inn, at Bagshot, and discussing the
conditions of it beforehand in a private
i-oom over a chop, is a tableau de moaurs.
George Canning was seriously wound
ed when he and Castlereagh met at Put
ney in 1807 to exchange four shots. In
tho duel between Henry Grattan and
Mr. Cony a bullet shattered the latter’s
arm. As late as 1885 Mr. Roebuck
fought a duel with Mr. Black of Tho
Morning Chronicle, when two shots
were exchanged without result. The
fightiug parson was tlien as well known
ns the fighting editor. The Rev. Henry
Bate, editor of The Momiug Post, was
both. A dead shot, and with what his
contemporaries call “a profligate
tongue,” he was most successful as a
duelist. He “piuked” “Fighting Fitz- i
gerald,” a Mr. Temple, a young banis
ter who was his assistant editor-, and
several others, but met Iris match at
last iii Captain Stoney Robinson, who
gave him a severe wound, but whom
he also wounded.—Coruhill Magazine.
The Number Thirteen.
Tlie superstition tiiat K3 is unlucky,
which is traced back to a sacred source,
meets with as many contradictions as
confirmations. The fact that the horri
ble fire in the Paris bazaar started at
booth 13 was telegraphed all around the
world, whereas little notice is attracted
by Nansen’s success with 13 men. At
one time 2 was a dreaded number in
England, owing to the dynastic disas
ters to all monarclis second of their
name from Ethelred II to George II. J
Yet Napoleon’s number through all bis j
life was 2, and who could wish for I
better luck than came to Goody Two
Shoes or than that which results at
times from having two strings to your
bow?
Three, which sirce the days of Py
thagoras lias been the divine number,
shows that it is not invariably fortn
Trnte, for, though the fates are three, so
also are the furies. The graces are
three, but so also are the judges in
hades and the heads of Cerberus. Then
there are the records of three disloyal
tribes in Welsh history; there are the
three robbers in Orion’s belt; there
were the three tyrants at Athens, and
8 in mythology is as unlucky as it
is divine. Just so clearly as it has been
shown in time that the unlucky 2
can bo lucky and that the pleasant
8 can be uupleasant the followers of
the late Captain Fowler would show
that the unlucky 13 can be the luckm t
number there is. So wo may as well
regret his departure, while we wish
success to his associates.—Boston Jour
nal.

j Daniel Webster’s oratory was not al

Daniel Webster when in full practice
| was employed to defend the will of
I Roger Perkins of Hopkinton A physi
cian made affidavit that the testator whs
struck with death when he signed the
will. Weh-ter subjected his testimony
to a most thorough examination, show
ing by quoting medical authorities that
| doctors disagree as to the precise mo
I ment when t dying man is struck with
j death, some affirming that it is at the
commencement iff the dieei.se, others at
its climax and others still affirm that
we begtu to die as soon as we are born.
“I should line to know.” said tho op
posing counsel, “wltut doctor maintains
that theory?”
‘‘Dr. Watts,” said Mr. Webster, with
great dignity. ‘‘The moment we begin
to live wo all begin to die. ”
