A Great Advantage "SPLITS" OF Apollinaris POLICE MATINEE STORIES FROM JEDGE BRILES' COURT TONEY TABAR1NI. a bartender in the saloon of N. H. Bulloch, S3 Marietta street, was held in a i the recorder yesterday morning on the rtarge of selling a minor whisky. The prosecution grew out of the case of Addison Snodgrass, a youth who tot drunk and raited a disturbance in the Bijou.

Snodgrass was lined 148.75 toy the reropier. and his father had the ar further Investigated by the police, arrest of Tabarlnl following. The saloon man contended (hat he fcad not sold the youth any liquor, an. liad witnesses twho testified that Snod grass went Into the saloon and left with out beir.s served. While in the aa the youth fell to the floor and said he was suffering from nervous prostration from the use of absinthe.

Bold Quilt and Sold Again. Mary Jackson was one of the original thieves that ever appeared be fore the recorder. It was proven aha had a quilt which she bad stolen from some person unknown.

She went from house to house selling the quilt ana as cast as she sold it she stole it again. It was calculated that she sold and stole the same quilt nine times in one day. Each time she got 25 cents for Bhe quilt, and if she had not been stopper and arrested she would so soon have been rich and still had the quilt. She was sent to the workhouse for two months in two cases, tne recorder thinking the sentence long enough, as It took in Christmas. A New Way to Borrow.

Tom Griffin, a negro, with a head shaped like a mule, and which measured from chin to cranium something like eighteen inches, was arraigned in the police court for stealing a lot oi tools. It iwas shown that Tom had worked for a number of people and every time he did so he disappeared, taking a lot of tools with him. All the stolen articles were found in pawnshops. The negro admitted that he had the tools and said he did not steal the things, but lust "borrowed them to raise a little money to pay his furniture man." He was held in a bond of $200 for NEW ATLANTA ENTERPRISE NEEDS COWS BY THOUSANDS IF SOME enterprising Atlantan, Or even any group of Atlantans, could only supply from S0.000 to 100,000 pounds of milk daily, it would prove to be of the greatest benent to the best interests of the city. For those who are used to buying their milK by tne quart, it may toe wen to state that three pounds of milk make a quart.

So it Is only a modest matter of 16,000 to 32,000 quarts of milk that are asked for. With the average Atlantan. having his own troubles trying to secure a quart of the real cream rising kind at 10 cents per quart, this ether eally surplus looks rather far off. Agent Henderson, or the land and industrial department of the Southern Railway. Is the one who has been looking through the streets of Atlantan for a few thousand stray cows to meet this demand and for this reason.

Only few days But Mr. Henderson is a practical business man. So he read on to the end the bitter end. And just before thai bitter end came this paragraph asking for from 60,000 to 100,000 pounds of milk at a reasonable price. "We have the milk," said the letter, and member I nx the present prices and oca ty of milk and coal and other necessary commodities in Atlanta, Mr.

Henderson took that site which he had so sudden ly selected with the first few paragraphs or the communication and carefully stuck It hack In its proper position the belt line of the Southern Railway. The writer of the letter is a pure food man and a big manufacturer. He wanted to erect, and still wants to, a pant for the making of some cereal or odd bi fast food not included in the present 59 varieties. Milk, and milk by the to 100,000 pounds, was stated to be sentlal for such an enterprise. The cow market being very dull present and milk quotations being high, the result is that some other place wins and Atlanta loses unless terprising and patriotic Atlantan will kindly drive a few thousand cows down to.

of newspaper agitation in England about Its disposal. Franklin acKnowiedged an allegiance to Boston, not only as his birthplace, but for his nrst instructions In literature (and othe things) given him by its free grammar schools, and obligation to the state of Massachusetts for the honor of appointing him (without the asking) their agenl in isngland. and the payment to him of what he described as handsome nm. pensation therefor, and although he accidentally lost in Its service more than the amount of his pay. he very justly considered that as no offset to his gratitude.

Under pertain stipllated conditions, he devoted by will £2.000, £1,000 for the for the city of Philadelphia, th. same to be devoted to certain uses and interests. Rulej were laid down for management of the funds, preference in loans oeing given to young married artificers under the age of 25. who had learned weir crane unaer apprenticeship, and who had good moral character which tney could prove by at least two sens willing to be their surety. "Franklin estimated that iu the time of 100 years, during which the sum should be loaned at Interest, and the Interest collected and compounded, and the in creased sum re loaned and again cultivat ed in tne same manner, one tuna should amount in each case to i 3 1 At the end of 100 years.

£100.000. by his di rection, was to be expended in public works and the £31,000 remaining to be laid out at interest compounded for an other century, and at the end of that time a fund of over £4,000.000 would accrue, £1.061,000 of which were to be paid over to each city and £3,000,000 to each state. The directions embodied in the will applied equally to Boston and to Philadelphia and in all essential respects the two bequests were subject to the same conditions. Short of Expectancy.

Mayor Woodward has a route which he believes the Atlanta and Carolina trol ley car company can use in getting out of the city towards the east. He says that the company can begin at tne corner of ulliam and RawsOn street and instead of going east out Raw son, can go out Pulliam along iu west line to Glenn, and then east to Crew street, out Crew to Atlanta avenue, and out Atlanta avenue east to South Boule vard, and then north on the Boulevard Confederate avenue He says the other parts of the proposed routes can remain as they are. "It may be," said the mayor, "that the company will have to do some filling on Atlanta avenue, but this will not cost as much time and money as wld and the building of so many curves. On the route I have vetoed there are about eight curves, and on the route I have named there are only three or four. It costs as put in a curve as it does build a Mock of street railway.

Vom the way in which the council and the aldermanic board talking, the mayor's veto will be ridden when council meets next Monday. One member of the aldermanic board said yesterday morning, in the presence of several councllmen, who concurred in his remarks: The committee on electric and other railways went over that matter care fully, giving it a most thorough inves tigation, xwice was it neara oeiore council and twice by the aldermanic board. It may be disliked by some people, but Atlanta has reached a stage In her growth when the individuals must, make some sacrifice for the upbuilding i of the greatest city in the south. A motion will be made Monday arter oon to rjasa the franchise, notwithstand ing the mayor's veto, and it Is believed it will be passed almost unanimously.

Under a decision rendered by the preme court yesterday negro passengers are protected In their rights in the wnicn are required to be set apart for them by railroad companies.

The court holds that a trial judge, no matter if the case was tried before him, has no authority under the law to certify to a fast bill of exceptions after he ceases to be such judge, and the court therefore had nothing before it which It could consider.
