LEAGUE IS GROWING; CITY OWNERSHIP HAS REACHED THE PEOPLE i Business Men Express Themselves oil Most Important Movement Before Public Today—Hundreds of Indorsers. time: is approaching FOR REAL CAMPAIGN Arc you watching this municipal owucritip movement ? It’s growing—growing faster than you know—faster than The Georgian expected it to grow. There’ll be something doing in a short while. Don’t think-that because there isn't an election next week tn deride if. or befcauso you don't see something about it in The (■Yorgiio every clay, that it is quiet. It is about the livest proposition in Atlanta today. The peo ple arc talking about it, thinking over it, figuring on it. They will be ready to act when the time comes. Dpt we want YOU in it. YOU ought to be in it. It affects YOU. This isn't The Georgian's tight exeept as The Georginu rep- res •uts the people and their best interests. It is YOUfl fight. YOU have light bills to pay. I is to save YOU money. While YOU are thinking it over mid saying to yourself that it would be a pretty good thing, other men are signing the appli cations for membership and talking municipal ownership to their friends. It’s up to YOU to DO something! If YOU really want this tiling it is up to YOU to do some thing for YOURSELF. Get busy. Talk to your friends qbout it. Get the men in your block in tine. This is going to be the people’s tight. There are no cam paign funds—no “barrel” in this campaign. There nrc no special interests to be served, no special interest to pay. The “special interests” are on the other side. They may “produce” when they see the danger. But what municipal'own ership needs is YOUR vote and YOUR influence for YOUR good. Are you ready to give itT You will be given an opportunity to start actively to work in a short time. The league is growing big enough to btftfin a cam paign.

Smith New York, Nov. 8.—With only a few weeks Intervening before he must face jury charged with the murder of Stanford White, the archlteot, Harry K. Thaw now dreads the ordeal. ‘ He finds himself undecided as to who shall Plead his case before the" Jury and Is without settled plan of defense. A score of famous lawyer* In. this city,'Pittsburg and Philadelphia have been negotiated with, but, warned by the experience of the firm of Black, Olcott, Oruber A Boynge. they have hesitated to accept a retainer except upon'the most explicit terms. Clifford W. Hartrldge, a lawyer of some civil practice and on old friend of Thaw, has beon his legal adviser. Lawyer Hartrldge Is Southern, born and Is believed to have greater faith In the efficacy- of tho plea of the "high. *r law” jurisdiction for the murder of Stanford White than a lawyer of u geographically cooler temperament. Thaw has all along raged at the idea of his pleading Insanity, even emotional Insanity, as prompting his shooting of White. He has wanted to be tried as the avenger of his wife's betrayal. Noted lawyers who have been asked defend Thaw before a Jury are tin- willing to risk their" repWstlon* upon such a defense, knojvlng that Informa tion In the possession of the district attorney will be used to combat testi mony representing Mrs. Thaw ns tho (victim of the wiles of the slain arclil tect. They have also been unwilling to-ac cept the retainer of a client who will not be bound In a reasonable degree to abide by their dictum lit the matter of 1 GOLDEN TEXT—Not my will, but th After the institution of the Lord’s Supper Jesus and HI* disciples went out Into the .Mount of Olives to a gar den culled Oethsemane, the name meaning an oil press, and doubtless so called because in It there was an oil press. The supposition Is that they /eft the city by the gato of 'St. Stephen, as It Is known today, thence across the wsdy of Kedrun, a hundred feet below, and then up.the green slope beyond. On acoount of the Passover the gate would he open at night. • Only one memorable Incident on the way Is recorded. He told them that on that night they all slmuld be offended In Him, and Peter again avows his loyalty; even If It should coet him his •life. Tills garden was about half a mile from the city walls, and doubtless had been a frequent resort for Jesus and Ills disciples. It was on the way to Bethany. Ilfs nightly resting place. In It today the tourist sees some largo gnarled olive trees, one of which Is known ns the Tree of Agony, and which tradition claims as the tree that stood there on that eventful night. There Is little foundation for such a belief, as all the trees around the city destroyed when It. was besieged by Gitus. Although the exact spot ednnot bo determined with certainty, yet the gen eral location Is clear. The garden of Edeit'and the garden of Gethsemane will*be ever memorable because*In the one man was lost, and In the other he was regained. After entering tho garden He com manded the disciples to sit down and rest, all but »hree, Peter. James and John—the same ones who had been with Him on the Mount of transfigura tion. These were to follow Him be yond the first few steps Into the ln- clnsuic. And then leaving the three, He passed a little further on—ntiout a stone's throw. Falling with His face upon the ground, He prayed- till His sweat became ns great drops of blood. He was "exceeding sorrowful.” Sore amazed, "very heavy.” The Greek word here translated heavy means not at home. The sorrow of a stranger In u strange land, a homesick grief. Luke says He was In "agony.” This word has been transferred—not translated— Into our language, and Is tho word applied to Mine who ran In the foot race.or contended with' gladiator or wild beast on the bloody arena, when every nerve' and muscle was strained to Its' utmost tension. Literally He agonized. He dreaded drinking the draught that was pressing His Ups. It was the shrinking of His humanity from the trial before Him. HIS whole nature was more sensitive than ours. He knew His disciples would forsake Him and us had been predicted centuries before. He would -tread the wine press alone." But He saw more than mere physical .suffering. Himself, Innocent, He waa to endure the penalty of eln. When He came back to Ills disciples He found them asleep. They had been up all the night and bed been much excited by the events of the -previous days. They were physically exhaust ed and so the Savior Instead of ad ministering a severe reproof, urges them to watchfulness.’ He again re tires and utters the same prayer, “not my will but thine be done.” When He returns a second time He finds them asleep again. They were losing their opportunity of cheering and comforting their Mastyr in His sorest trial. , Man had failed Him, but the need of human comfort was passing away.- ' Ills earnest cry had passed Into sub mission. His spirit had broken through the cloud that had for a moment dark ened It, and reposed once more In the calm light of God. Luke saye nn angel came from heav en and strengthened Hint. Angels desired to look Into the plan of redemption before He came. They sang His song of nativity. An angel strengthened Him after His forty days of fasting, and Hla temptation by Sa tan. An angel rolled away the stone from Ills sepulcher. ' Angels farmed His escort nt the time of His ascen sion, and will return with Him aa His reapers when He comes the second time. Gethsemane Was Satan's Waterloo. It was here Christ Avon Ills. great final victory, In tho meantime Judas had been busy. He had reported to the nuthor- Itlei that the favorable moment had come. Jesus wa# without the walla of the city away from the multitude, doubtless knew where to find Him. The authorities remained in perma nent session till the arrest was effect ed and then detached a part of the Temple Watch, and some of tho chief priests and ciders accompanied them. The high priest had communicated with Pilate, so a bend of troops from Anto nin were ordered. A rabble of servants of the high priests and chief men, with lanterns and torches, led by Judas, went In quest of Jesus. He had just returned from Ills third prayer when He heard the noise of the coming crowd, and warned Hie disci ples of their coming, and that His hour had come to be betrayed Into the hands of sinners. • Judos came forward and saluted Him vrith a kiss. The word Implies that ho kissed much, again and again. Jeeus called hint comrade, not friend, as In our translation. The Impulsive, Impetuous Peter drew his sword and cut off the ear of ono of tha servants, which Christ Immediate ly healed—Ills last healing act of mer ELLA WHEELER WILCOX CHILDREN OF MARS (Copyright, 1906, by Amerlcan-Jour- | Everywhere In Holland tiro children nal-Examlner.) i are many, and adorable.

The disciples were soon scat tered. All had forsaken Him and fled, but there was one that hovered after them white In the full Iglit of the April moon. It was a young man who evidently had been roused from nil sleep by the tumult, and having thrown his while sleeping robe around him was following the crowd.

This the court refused, and adjourned for ono week, when Its decision—either the ordering of an Inquiry or the granting of a divorce—will be handed down. Tilts Between Lawyers. The proceedings were confined large ly to tilts between opposing counsel over the charge made against Edmund Kelly, of counsel for tile countess. Mr. Kelly bus denied these charges Indig nantly und makes the counter charge that the count himself hatched up a conspiracy for the purpose of making hls wife believe that he, Kelly, had organized a plot to bring about the count's political destruction. The arguments In the creditors’ case wns opened by Maltre Mlllerantl, who claimed that the lion's share of the money Involved „wns owing to trades men. It Is stated upon authority that this claim will he contested by the icountess' attorneys, who are said to be settling all legitimate bills. Titlsd People Present. Titled men und women, dukes, counts, marquises, marchionesses and count esses, the elite of Paris eoclety, were among the audience when the bearing was continued before the tribunal uf tho Heine. Count dc Costellane’s piteous love letters nnd pleas to hls countess have exposed him to tho eyes of the fashion able world, and he Is being lanipoened unmercifully In the press. He Is copi- pletely ostracized by society. The count's lawyer Insisted that the children should not be allowed to go to America without tho count's consent, and that they should bo reared at Frenchmen. Count Dots Not Gamble. .Maltre Bonnet declared that all Hie count's debts were due to lavish ejt- pendlturc upon the household and were not personal. Certainly they were not caused by gambling, because the count did not gamble. He had spent nn 180,000 legacy and hnd anticipated a legacy from Ills father to the amount of 3160,000, alt of which had gone Into that bottomless pit, the Tri anon. \ than ue found one day In our trips about Holland. The Island of Marken is three hours froui Amsterdam, part of the way by train nnd sea'formed by an inundat ing Delude, which befell Holland In tho thirteenth century, j’uttlng Frlcseland away from th© main coast and creutlng Islands everywhere. Of all tho Islands. Mai ken has kept mol e of the primitive. churarteristlcH In habits and costumes than any other perhaps. It was HaAirda.v that we made our vdslt; and all the fishermen had an chored their boats in the channel. Such a picturesque fleet as It was, with dry ing: nets hanging' from the masts, nnd making«an almost contlnuoutt screen through which we saw\thc houses and the people ns we approached. Just outsldcfthe wharf, n boat was coming In. It flung to the wind one white nnd one deep nmroon sail, and the sailors Who pulled nt the ropes wore bulging blue trousers, gathei-ed full at the waist and knee, and a bright scarlet jacket. It was a sight to thrill the soul of an artist: and It Is no won der firtists on these Islands are as thick an sea gulls during summer sea sons. It was haying time In Maiken and the men and women were busy loading the hay which hnd been brought to the w harf ready for market. As if Hint night alone were not enough for our eager eyes, down from the hunch of box-llkc houses In the foreground swarmed a score of chil dren of ail ages and sixes, In their Island costumes, alert for the profit they have learned Ilea In the tourist's kodak There were many kodaks und many English and American and Ger man tourists seeking the unusual, and the novel: and the Marken children reaped a goodly harvest of pennies that afternoon. And while this was all very Interest ing, It possessed -a side that wus sad dening as well to one who loves tho humnn race and hopes for Its gradual uplifting. Primitive, and simple, and artistlc ns the life on the Island of Marken Is today, Industrious and clean ly and kindly as are the people, the sin Of the age has come upon them through the contact with tourists. Greed for money has become a ma nia tvlth tho children of the Island. And with It have come all the other evil passions. In thetr eagerness to possess the pennies which the tourists are ready to bestow for the privilege of a snap-shot, they h«v© developed avarice, Jealousy, envy and III will. They push and crowd one another for prominence In u group: they In trude themselves Into a picture unin vited and grasp for the pennies the se lected ones receive; they follow visitors and Impostune them for money favors; and from golden-haired cherubs In picture cubes they become 111-temper- have been well cared for since. I have not ween one diaagre«;ili child til Holland, save those tl Island of Markden, who have hecon “grafters*’ through contact with ton Ists. Nor have I *een si bold, or il mannered child. One day we went up to Frle>etanc to Lecuwnrden, the home of the o Freslan Kings. It Is a ton«iderali city of thirty thousand Inhabitants. \ it is out of the line for tourists, and In retained Its village alrtplli lty in con- quence.

Bomettmes these bead plan are made of sterling silver, but oni the servants venture to wear a lcs«i metal. Our advent Into this town seemed i be an event to the children, and. IhOflc there was an exposition In progress nu many out-of-town people In erldern* the children seemed to realize wet from another world than the one i which they belonged. Yet now In r*« w*i I more impressed by tho good breed Ing and kindly hearts of the children > when disappointed or put ast I kissed the round; dimpled, bare arm of a beautlfur baby, which an older girl waa carrying over her shoulder. The girl turned In time to see my caress, and struck at me. because we refused to kodak her w'hen she followed us, or to pay her to vlslj the. Interior oi f her home. We had already visited another in terior, and been mpply recompensed for the cost; so unique nnd attractive, oro these houses, and such living temples are they for the god of cleanliness who rules In Holland. As our boat sailed out, some English women In the party tossed pennies on the strand. Never have I seen a more unhappy exhibition of greed among children. As they scrambled for the shining bits of copper a boy struck a gM “ Holland than here. An automobile veil, worn to pro tect unruly locks on boat and train, was evidently as Interesting t«» the c hildren of Lectiwarden as the metal and cave headgear of the town ladles wa- to us. Yet In what admirable restraint th- sweet flock kept their curiosity. Thre* little maids followed us. to be sure, fm more than an hour, and Anally masked their curiosity under cunning subter fuge*. and pretended to be looking in shop windows near by, or to turn and forget something that they might walk by uh again and take another shy peep. Never once t’ld they boldly stare. J have mastered three sentences in the Dutcli language, one to know how to call my chambermaid. “What Is your name?" When I asked one ••! these little girls tills question Anally, and so broke tho ice of strangeness there was much excitement in group and much blushing nnd flutter ing. She had eyes like a young heifer, limpid and soft und brown; and when she said her name was “Bovina" I wn« pleased; and when she said It was “Smith” I was sorry- But. of course, it will change Some day. for there seem to be no spinsters, or bachelor girls, in Holland. # I left my little friends nt Leeu- tvarden I could not help thinking limv differently a bevy of American chil dren would expressed their curiosity II a Holland Islander, with her strange heud dress, had walked down Broad way, or the street.
