Multitudes were very busy Iii the pursuit •f baubles that glittered Iii their eyes and danced lief ore them— But often, when they thought themselves within resell of them, their footlug fulled and down thev sunk. It la a frailty of human nature to be harsh and cold toward the frailty of human nature. Most of uh—even those of us who take pride to ourselves for being considerate and tolerant, as we deem to think, find our tongue often saying and our mind oftener thinking, **I told you so," or "you might have known better." This when It happened that their footing failed and down they sunk, It Is a frailty of human nature t busy In the pursuit of baubles, baubles that glitter In the eyes and dunce be- • fore them. One may by taking thought com#;to the belief that the only erring pattapave- take In life are those by-ways whose course we follow In the chase of the glittering and dancing bauble. One may be dazzled by the Irides cent glory of wealth, or pomp of pow er, ahotber by the delectable gleam of fugitive pleasure, of alluring enchant mem of eminence In society. All of u* pursue that which we Jmvt not, have not In fulness. And, haply, our footing falls and down we sink. The papers of this week have had much to bay about the unhappiness of the marriages of two American wom en. If Is the popular opinion, however fallaciohs that be, that these women had bartered their countless wealth for wealthless counts. If the play on words may be pardoned. It Is the belief of those—who really have no light to an opinion about Jt—that these two American women entered into marital alliances with foreign nobles, having nil the faults and vices peculiar to the thlnl and fourth degeneration, solely because they were willing to sell them selves and their millions for the dwarf ed glory and prestige of jtarticlpancy In an old world title. With untold wealth, beauty, education and position In American society, they sought that which of all things in the world they had not. A title. They were only busy in the pursuit of baubles that glittered In their eyes and dance*! before them. But when they thought themselves within reach of them their footing fail ed and down they sunk. There Is no moral to this. Humanity must chose its baubles—else It Js not human but superhuman. But let us keep In mind when we see their foot ing fail and down they sink that we, too, have pursued or are seeking lmu- bles—maybe of another sort, hut bau bles none the less elusive and profit less. SATURDAY EVENING. All men and women, who were fortunate enough to - have heard the great evangelist. Rev.* Dwight Moody, preach, were impressed with three t harncierlstlcs, which he possessed to an eminent degree, and which consti tuted the foundation ui»on which wtw bullded Ms marvelous power over men. No one ever listened Intelligently to this very remarkable man without realizing the utter and entire absence of self In his preaching; Ills tre mendous earnestness of purpose and his Intense and beautiful faith. These three things made Mr. Moody one of the very wonderful pulpit orators of modern times, ills Jack of the faintest suggestion of personal vanity, or of self-consciousness, was ail the more surprising w hen It Is recalled the Interest he awoke and the sensation he created by his sermons In all por tions of the English speaking world. This characteristic alone entitled him to profound consideration and emphasized the fact that vanity Is a component part of only small, circumscribed brains. His earnestness was Infectious—all earnestness Is and will always con tinue to be. No man or woman ever accomplished anything In life without this es sential quality. The failures have been rarely made by persons who are thoroughly aroused upon a subject and who pursue an aim with Intelligent enthusiasm and with a seriousness of determination. And then Mr. Moody hud unquestioning trust und childlike belief In (lod and Ills revealed Word. The eagerness with which men listened to the teachings of such absolute, beautiful faith evidenced the craving of humanity for the simple, glorious gospel of the early fathers. It Is a notable fuct that In these latter days the Intellect and influence of the most gifted men and women of the world lire being thrown on the side of a pure and unde filed Christianity. The specious reasoning of the agnostic makes but small Impression upon the people nt large. The mental vanity of a certain class of present- day preachers, which finds expression In futile efforts to bring Into disre pute the fundamental tenets of the Apostles* Creed, arouses but un Insignifi cant and Inconsequential following. The weight of genius and of cultiva tion have been largely thrown on the side of a genuine, wholesome Chris tianity mid of all men most miserable Is he whose restless, unsettled brain is forever at war with bis own soul. The constantly Increasing tendency on the part of the public toward a thorough appreciation of true godliness Is one of the most encouraging Indications of the present times, and suggests more, perhaps, than anything else, the growth of a sincere Chrlstlun senti ment. This Is an era of action, not of Inertia, of living us well as talking, and no man can preach a sermon—even though he possess the tongue of un nngel—\u\\t so powerful for good as his own dally walk In und out the devious paths of life will prove. The world demands that what a man teaches he must exemplify, not In one small particular, not In the keeping of one or two Scriptural Injunc tions—perhaps In accord with his natural temperament—but he must make nil the sacrifices, bear all the burdens, exhibit the never-ceasing energy In well-doing of St. Paul, or .his preaching nnd teaching will be in vain and but as "sounding brass and tinkling cymbal.” All classes, creeds and conditions of men gladly show every mark of respect for a man whose everyday living Is In keeping with the sacred Vows he has assumed, regardless of personal sacrifices entailed. The noble, up right, self-saerlflclng lives of a very large majority of the preachers of today have done much to bring about the acceptance of Christianity by the masses of mankind. Living ns these godly men do, with the white light of investigation beating upon them constantly, they stand forth before the world without reproach. Human, yet self-subduing, they fuvnlsh .such manly examples of a w holesome Christianity that the veriest)' worldling honors ' them for their purity ami for their honesty, nnd Is anxious to emulate their splendid virtues. Religious sentiment Is increasing and the dally lives of the min isters of the gospel—witty a few exceptions—are Incentives to grehter growth. They exemplify—with rare exceptions—the teachings of Christ, and thereby strengthen the fidth of humanity in the doctrines they expound. When the world decides that a man Is an unworthy teacher or preacher. It Is 'generally the fault of the man, and ridf Of the wolhl.' Mr. Wood)’ fcTl V.ICMccp Pith the followers of every religious sect do ing him honor as a man of simple, earnest, beautiful faith, svhose every—iy living was a sermon In perfect nnd complete accord with the sacred texts of the Sermon,on the Mount.' But the crowning glory of this great evangelist's life was the sweet and tender humility with which lit) sat at the foot of- the cross, accepting with the losing faith of a little child the simple but tremendous truth of the salvation of mankind through the atonement made on Calvary's height. ful appetite, heightened by a romp in | the field* or n dip In the creek, had a I great deal to do with the way they appealed to us. But thousand* of hus- Imnda at one aide nnd ten thousand at our right hand are ready to testify, without hope of reward or fear of pun ishment, that the wife of their boaom can make biscuit which do not bring on battle, murder or sudden death. Ho that’s another gag nailed. # And yet these very exceptions may only tend to establish the fact’ that for once the trite old Jest should he taken in earnest, and that most women, with the exception of Lily Blake nnd t.’arrle t’att, arc really and truly afraid of mice. The relative degree of fear on the part of u man and a woman would be difficult to establish. In order to make anything like a fair test they would have to be placed under the same han dicap. We might get some man—Mr. Ed ward Bok, for Instance—put him in petticoats and try It. ANLANTA NEWSPAPER WOMAN REVIEWS “LADY BALTIMORE” FOR PUTNAM’S THE AEGIS OF THE FEDERAL COURTS. It was the Intellectually powerful and the politically Honorable Ed Baxter, among the greatest of railroad lawyers, who .two years ago Hung defiance In the teeth of the Georgia railroad commission by saying: "llenccforfb. I tell you, we shall seek protection under the aegis of the federal courts." . And now the Central of Georgia railroad Is seeking the protection of the shield of the Federal court. The case Is this: Dl „.|ng the panic of the early '90s, the slate rullruad commission al lowed the Central of Georgia to Increase Its freight rates S5 per cent, the avowed reason being to save the road from bankruptcy. Now. by circular 3K, the state railroad commission seeks to reduce local rates approximately lit per cent. This will leave the rates higher than those of the standard tariff of 1890. The railroad Is lighting the reduction of the tariff, .saytng that tt .will deprive It of a fair return upon the value of the property, A federal court Injunction secured by the railroad, estopping the enforcement of the circu lar, and the tight ts on. If Judge Newman upholds the contention nf the railroad, the use fulness of the state railroad commission Is forever destroyed, and the aegis „t the federal court Is proved Invulnerable against the laws of the shite. Will It be another step In the domination of the fulled States courts, which arc gradually depriving the states of their rights? Joseph Madison High. The death of Mr. Joseph Mudlson High, after a long and stalwart struggle aortal Illness, removes from Atlan ta another of those men who made the rlty what It is. Mr. High was endowed with the ge nius for business; he supplemented this gift with Intelligent study and never- easing labor. And In thirty years In Atlunta he accumulated one of the largest fortunes ever made In the Houth In a mercantile business. Yet, strange to say, lie was one of the most Inconspicuous of Atlanta’s citizens. He was known by sight to but few save those with whom he came into business and social contact. This was due to tho fact that he was of modest, retiring disposition and be cause he devoted nil of his time and en ergy to his business. Yet he was nev er delinquent In any enterprise or pub lic movement that made for the good of Atlanta of Its people. The part he played In the upbuilding of Atlanta was Important—though not heralded with flare of trumpet—and his place In Atlanta will not soon be filled.

He was nbout to be j lS12-Frem-h defeated ltnsslaus forgotten. The case which the secretary of the Nice Society made against the Art Students’ League, of New York, claim ing that the catalogue or prospectus of the school was indecent, is one of the most absurd as well as deplorable mis takes this sensational Comstock lias made. The League, which has been established over 30 years, Is recognized as the leading art school In America nnd ranks with tho very best schools in.Europe. Associated with the League from the very beginning have .been the foremost artists of America, whose character nnd ability have never been assailed until now. This school, which has over a thousand students, Is known over the country for Its thor ough respectability. But Mr. Comstock Is not so vehement in his denunciation of the League as he. is violent In de nouncing Us catalogue for the simple reason that It contains pictures of the nude, or examples of the students’ work done in the life classes. Has it ever occurred to • this "wise" secretary that It Is absolutely necessary for an artist to be thoroughly familiar with the nt'Ue In order to cither jmlnt a portrait or mould u form? It Is just a*necessary for him to know the anatomy of the human form us it Is for a physician to understand It. It la no moiv Immoral for an artist to draw from the nude Hum It is for a man or woman physi cian to study the human form. It Is simply a matter of business. Therefore the catalogue of the Art Students’ League or of any other art ftchuol which explains the work done in Its In- j stltutloiH lias Just ns much right to be circulated among prospective art stu dents as n medical book or Journal has to be circulated among prospective stu dents of a medical college. There certainly is nothing more beautiful than the human form, out who would expect stolid, staid, delud ed Mr. Comstock to understand or ap preciate denuded art ? The hearing of St. Anthony’s plaint, hleh comes up before Magistrate Mayo in the next few days, will be awaited with Interest an.l ardent hope for the suppression of Comstock.
