Washington, March 8.—Attorney General Moody stated on Tuesday that he had, on behalf of the presi dent tendered to Hon. Carter Tate the office of district attorney of the north ern district of Georgia, now held by Hon. Edgar Angler. The place comes to him entirely unsolicited. Coming as it does, Mr. Tate’s friends here see no reason why he should not accept it. It comes solely as the re sult of the personal admiration of President Roosevelt for him, and of his close personal friendship with At torney General Moody and Secretary of Commerce Metcalf, both of whom served in congress with him. Air. Tate took the matter under ad visement. His close friends have strongly urged him to accept the place, coming as it does, to him entirely with out any suggestion of solicitation ou his part, and without involving in the least his own politics. It is believed Mr. Tate will accept. This appointment is regarded here as in line with the president’s deter mination to place in the district at toriifeyships throughout the country men who public careers have demon strated their ability to be of positive assistance in carrying out his policy of making effective the laws against trusts and monopolies. It is his pur pose to see that officials of the tfepart- ment of justice, especially district at- torn< ys are aggressive in using tht power of their offices to this end. BAD SCARE IN FLORENCE.

My soul is humbled In the dust, And owns Thy dreadful sentence just; Look down, O Lord, with pitying eye And save the soul condemned to die. Then will I teach the world Thy ways, Sinners shall learn Thy sovereign grace; I’ll lead them to my Saviour’s blood. And they shall praise a pardoning God. O, may Thy love inspire my tongue! Salvation shall he all my song; And all my powers shall join to bless The Lord, my strength and righteous ness. Have You Got Them? (San Francisco Bulletin.)
