FROM THE DIARY OF INSPECTOR BYRNES BY JULIAN HAWTHOBNE. [Copyrighted 1887. All rights reserved.] CHAPTER XIII. Continued. Success seldom comes at the “°“ e . n ^ he “ -~ n hpliflve that we most want it, ana i?eaov sky's experience daring the ensuing ™ontho r more were in quite am no This fact may be recorded. Bat there is no necessity for us to travel the downward path step by step with him. Every day he went forth in the hopes of finding some employ ment, and every night he returned to his lodgings without having found any. His money away with alarming rapidity; and had not Tom found a position for himself as hostler in a livery-stable, their state would soon have be come desperate indeed. But 1 orn s wages were barely sufficient for himself. It was nearly an impossibility for two persons to sub sist upon them in any fashion whatever, re- dovsky, moreover, felt that it would be better to starve promptly by himself than to help Tom to atarve slowly. Accordingly, after awhile, he gave Tom to understand that he had actually been given a position as book-keeper in a small shop down-town, with a stipend of $0 a week. By this ingenious expedient lie expected to escape the necessity of refusing his former valet’s alms without entering into any painful argument. As it turned oat, how ever, he might have spared himself even this trouble. Tom received the news with all his custom ary enthusiasm and prognosticated an imme diate and splendid turn of fortune. This en gagement would immediately lead to another and better, aDd in a short time they would both be fairly on the high road to wealth. Fe- dovsky had the name and location of his sup posed employer ready, in case he should be questioned about it, but Tom, secure in the future, never thought of descending to such details. In the course of the conversation that evening, moreover, he informed Fedovsky that he had again seen his brother, and had made an appointment to meet him the following day to discuss a certain project which the latter had formed, and which, Tom surmised, would bo likely to lead to the best results for all con cerned. Fedovsky had his own opinion about that, but he forbore to say anything about it, being too mush pre-occupied with h:s own prospects. _ , , The next morning Tom went off early to his stable, lie had received leave of absence for the afternoon to meet his brother, and would not return home till late. Eedovsky, for his part, dressed himself carefully, took his walk- ifig-atick, and sauntered out of his hotel with the air of a gentleman who has a large busi ness under his control and is not obliged to hurry himself in order to keep in the van. No ouo would have supposed, to look at him, that he was on his last legs. His clothes looked neat and fashionable, his linen was clean, his boots were polished. His face was somewhat thinner and paler than be fore and his gait had not its usual elasticity, but ruddiness and activity are* not the preroga tives of millionaires. . As a matter of fact the young Russian had lost hope, and everything else, except the de sire to apoear decent and like a gentleman to the last. 'To-day, for the first time, he had decided to abandon the attempt to get employ ment. It was not in him to entreat, to plead, to vociferate, to carry his point and recom mend himself by sheer audacity and persist ence. At the first rebuff he turned away ; had he stayed longer he might have been asked to stay permanently, lie saw the defect in him self, bat it was not one that he could remedy— especially on an empty stomach ana with noth- ing in his pocket. So to-day, instead of mak ing the dreary rounds of shop after shop and office afte T office, he walked quietly along an east side street until he came to the Battery, where he seated himBolf on a bench. It was a lino warm day of early summer. The bay was blue and auimated with shipping; the trees and grass around him were green; the sun shine lay brightly on all. It recalled to his mind his days the previous winter at Monte Cailo, under such different conditions. Was he really the same mini Hour after hour passed by and the noon whistle, the signal to cease work sounded from a thousand steam pipes. ledovsKy had no work to pretermit; neither had he any lunch eon to go to. But he took a biscuit from his pocket with the careless air of a man who is hardly certain whether or not ho feels an appetite and nibbled at it until it was cone. Tnen he arose and strolled toward a fountain, where he drank two cups of water. Continuing hi3 strjll at a leisurely pace, he crossed to the west side of the town and pro ceeded along the street that bounds the city there. Wharf after wharf was passed, with stosmera and vessels lying moored, bound nr lands which ho would never see again. Here, too, was the ferry slip at which he Lai larced a few mouths before, full of sanguino apticipa- Ibns. Bearing now toward the right, he emerged from a medley of small streets into Broad wav jj3t at the Astor house, and, ns he stood at the cornar, he saw Fred Vanderfalick descend the steps, with hi3 straw hat on the back of his head and a quill toothpick in his mouth. Ue had evidently just bolted another lunch. The young banker sprang across the street, dodging among the vehicles, and was sooa lost iu the crowd on the opposite side- walk. Apparently he was ju3t as jolly and hearty as over. Fedovsky wondered whether this friend had ever regretted his disappear ance, or had taken any measures to discover his whereabouts, lie had often speculated as to how the Vanderblick family had received Sallie’s revelation of lis fallen state. He had never learned anything on the subject, as was but natural, inasmuch as he had taken every precaution to keep out of the way of all his former acquaintances, and had not even looked into a newspaper for weeks. He came over to the city-hail park and found a seat on another bench. The benches were well patronized. The occupants were mostly subdued in de meanor and shabby of attire. Some dozed as they sat. Others stared at nothing yvitla lack lustre eyes. All of them looked as if they would he the better for a square meal. Most of them, probably, were failures iu one way or another. AVhat were they waiting for? Fedovsky fell to thinking of the reign of ter ror in the French revolution; how the can- detuned prisoners sat in the prisons, waiting for the tumbril and the guillotine. Were these people waiting for the river and the morgue? He sat among them, leaning forward on his knees, and with his hat tipped down oyer his brows, drawing figures in the sand with tho tip of his cane. None of the others spoke to him. Ue appeared too much of a swell to have any right there. What business had a well- dressed, prosperous, aristocratic persou with such as they? Had be come to spy upon them and ridicuie them? Lot him first find out what hanger meant. Fedovsky had a very fair understanding of the sensation in question. But there was something in his blood and breeding which prompted him to preserve an ufi.rutil d and immaculate front before the world to the last, lie was wearing his last clean shirt, and he was fastidiously careful to preserve the white ness and smoothness of his collar and cuffs. He might have gone to any one of a dozen ac quaintances, who might not have heard of his misfortunes, and got himself invited to dinner or to spend the night. But he couid not bring himself to it. He had in his pocket the un used visitor’s cards of a couple of clubs. There was nothing to prevent his going to one or other of them and ordering all he wanted; nothing, that is, except himself. Or, again, there was his trunks at the hotel up town. Why did he not go there, take them out of the luggage-room, and live upon what the nearest pawnbroker would give him for their contents? The obstacles in the way of this course seemed trifling, and yet they were sufficient. It would involve paying a fee of $2 to $3 to tho clerk as storage money and a couple of dollars to a hack-driver to take them to his room. Trne, he might explain that he would pay these sums as soon as he should have pawned something; but that was an explanation that he could not sacrifice his pride enough to make. But would bo rather starve to death than submit to so slight an humiliation? Well, at all events, he would not make the submission. After awhile ho discovered that ho had been writing the name “Sallie” upon the ground with his cane. He erased it hurriedly, the !> nod rushing to his face as he did so. He got u j rather languidly and continued his wall . . raversing hack streets, as before, he came a. to do is to say eo. length to Washington square. Here were more benches, more green trees and grass, and more undemonstrative sitters. He took his silent place among them. The sun went slowly to ward the west. At 0 o’clock the whistles sounded again. New York was about to sit down to its dinner. Fedovsky took out a biscuit and ate it as slowly as he could; then another. Then to a fountain once more. He drank as much as he could. Water cost nothing. Then he walked slowly back to his 23-cent inn. He would hear the result of Tom’s interview; per haps, after all, something might come of it. Tom had not returned when he arrived. He waited for him along time, hut still be came not. At last he went to bed and lay half awake all night. In the morning Tom had not ap peared. Fedjvsky dressed himself, taking a Ion time over his toilet, partly from customary fastidiousness, but more from bodily weak ness. At 9 o’clock he left his room, and hav ing requested the attendant to tell Tom, in case of his return, that he had gone to the livery stable, he took his way thither. It was a te dious journey and F’edovsky was suffering much pain. At the stable he learned that Tom had not been heard from since the previ ous morning. He lingered about there for an hour or two in vain. He went back to the lodging-house; Tom was not there. It was noon. He dragged himself to the City Hall park, and lunched there; he was obliged to eat three biscuits this time. He hardly knew whether they relieved him or made him feel worse. He got back to the inn, but Tom was not there. What could have happened? Could Tom have deserted him? This brother was a thief. What if they had arranged something between them! Fedovsky stopped short in this path of speculation. He couid not hear to pursue it. He would rather think that some accident had happened. Yet, if Tom had been injured, he would surely have communicated the fact to Fedovsky by some means, and if he had been killed news of it would be in the papers. But there was no news of the kind. The young Russian was more disheartened by this event than by anything that had hap pened to him. It was like putting the last brick in the wall that shuts a man out from light and life forever. II13 mind now ran on only tho gloomiest ideas. And, in fact, ho was at the end of his tether. He had in his pock ets seven biscuits and a 5-cent nickel. He could no longer remain at his lodgings. That night, accordingly, he sat very late on his beech; and at last, when the park had been deserted by the latest straggler, he lay down upon it, v. ith his head on hi3 arm. Tho night was warm and dry, hut Fedovsky felt cold. He closed his eyes; his thoughts wandered; strange fancies visited him—a sort of conscious delirium. Vera, Sallie, and Tom were mingled in a fantastic dance. In a few minutes he would have been asleep. Suddenly ha was aroused with a start and a sharp, jarriDg sensation, and a rough voice said: “Get up, now, young fellow; can’t have no loafers here!” It was a policeman, who had rapped on the soles of the homeless man’s feet with his club. As soon as Fedovsky comprehended the situa tion he arose without a word and dragged him self away. He came to another park, and, overcome with weakness, lay down as before. Again he was rudely awakened and driven on. Iu this manner he spent the night. The morning broke; the level beams of the eastern sun shone along the streets long before the traffic of the day began. Fedovsky sat on a bench with his aims folded. He scarcely knew where he was: his brain acted sluggishly. He felt less pain than the day before, but a greater weakness. By-and-by he remembered his biscuits, and, taking them out one by one, he ate them all. He drank a cup of water and felt a little refreshed. But where was his next meal to come from? And could he endure another night in the Btreets such a3 he had just passed? IIo looked at his shirt-cuffs; they were soiled and dingy. His boots, too, had lost their polish, and on9 of them was spat tered with mud by a watering-cart. A boot- black came along the path, with his box cn his back, lie glanced at the boots. “Shine!” Fedovsky nodded. “How much?” he asked, as tho boy knelt before him and put his box in position. “Nickel,” replied the boy. “lean give you only il conts,” returned the other. The boy looked up at him and after a moment ducked his head, in token of assent. Fedovsky put up his foot and the operation began. When it was over and the money paid Fedovsky arose and set out southward in the direction of the East river ferries. He had 2 cents to pay his fare on a boat. But he had made up his mind what to do. He was resolved not to go more thin half way across the river. CHAPTER XIV. Tho broken down young nobleman made his way slowly along the crowded and sunny streets. It was beautiful weather. The whole ci.y seemed to be enjoying life. Life offers so many enjoyable things—so many means of en joyment. Surely that human being must needs be very desperate who would voluntarily give up life altogether. Fedovsky had made np his mind, but be had plenty of time before him, and his settled pur pose had rendered him composed and indiffer ent. Tho secret knowledge that he was saying farewell to the world restored his dignity anil self-respect. He trod the pavement with a free and leisurely step ani no longer avoided the fashionable thoroughfares. A man who is wil ling to surrender his life to preserve his respect ability has a right to hold up his head with the most prosperous gentleman alive. Leaving" tho little park behind the reservoir, he proceeded eastward along West 41st street, and by a sudden whim of memory he recollect ed that his friend Mr. Willis had given his ad dress as 16 on that thoroughfare. This would place his residence at about the center of the reservoir. Fedovsky smiled. The discovery was a confirmation of Tom’s suspicions. The man must have been a swindler. Well, he could forgive him now. It was so easy to be a rascal, and the young Russian knew by ex perience how numerous and powerful may he the attractions to rascality. When he was a few rods West of 5th avenue he saw a lady on horseback riding past the mouth of the street toward Central park. He knew her at a glance. His heart gave a bound and his eyes brightened. Involuntarily he quickened his step and raised his hand to at tract her attention. But she passed on without regarding him. Had she seen|jhim? Who could tell? But, at all events, it was better that she should pass him by. Nothing but pain could result from their meeting, and he, at least, had already suffered psiu enough. To-morrow, perhaps, she would hear of some thing that had happened. If she were sorry, what more need he ask? Ho entered the avenue and turned south ward. Ho passed a couple of clubs the cards of which were in bis pocket; ho glanced np at the windows, but they were empty. Was this accidental, or had the customary loungers be taken themselves into the background on the appea'ance of his once familiar and welcome figure? Well, it was ail one now. lie strolled on, leaving Madison square on the loft, and stiil following the avenue. A few blocks beiow he saw three men approaching him—Col. Jack Oakley, Dr. Warren Boale and Judge Farren. The doctor nodded to him as he passed, rather stiffly, the j udge apparently failed to tee him at all, but the "fljrid colonel stopped and held out his hand. “Hello, count!” he said, “how are you? Glad to see you again. Was afraid you’d run off and left us. Come back to stay, I hope.” “No: I leave to day.” “Oh! come, none of that! Look here, Fedcv- sky,” said the colonel, dropping his voice and laying a kindly hand on the other’s arm, “what you want to do is to keep a stiff upper lip. You don’t know the American people. What they want is to see a man take his own part. There’s been a lot of Tot talked about you in the clubs, and Fred V&ndcrblick and I had words the other day about the shabby way he’s chucked you up. Well, fellows will talk; but 1 can tell you that three-fourths of tho boys wonld back you up if you d turn round and face it out Half of ’em have been in a hole themselves as bad as you have. Aa I tell ena, you’re as straight as a string; you a n t in debt. They havoii’t been ab'e to find a gentleman or a hundred, for one; only say the word, that is all I And if yen want to take hold and work a bit, there’s a dozen chances I know of myself. Never say diel” “I thank you heartily,” replied Fedovsky, tnrning his grave eyes on the other’s face. “I am glad I met you to-day, and know how you feel. You are a good fellow, and I shall re member is as long as I live. But there are rea sons why I had better go. As for money,” he added, thinking of the two cents in his pocket, “I have all I need. When I get to the other side I shall be all right, I hope.” “I hope so, too, my boy—I do indeed!” tamed the colonel again grasping the Russian’s hand, and feeling, perhaps, a little the easier and more cordial than if his offer of “a hun dred” had been snapped up. “I wish you’d stay here and lollow my advice; and if you can get straight again by going to the other side that may bs the best thing, after all. You’ll conte back again of course!” The count shook his head, with a ghost of a smile. “I think not,” he said. “Oh, yes you will!” replied the colonel, un conscious of the ghostly nature of his predic tion; “ and, at any rate, I expect to he over there before long! Well, good-by, in the meantime, old fellow ; and good voyage to you.” The two men parted, and the coionel swung along np the avenue, while the count contin ued his way in the opposite direction. Why had he not accepted tho colonel’s pro posal! There can he no rational answer to such a question. But there can be little doubt that the purpose to take one’s own life, once seriously formed, fascinates the will, and can be turned aside only by causes beyond the in tending suicide’s control. It was just before noon whan Fedovsky reached Printing-House square. He crossed over to the eastern side, and presently found his way impaded by a crowd of persons who were staring at a bulletin that had just been affixed to a board in front of one of the news paper buildings. It was beaded “A Panic on the Street,” and intimated that there had been a desperate attempt to bear a certain well- known railroad stock; hut the attempt had been met by a resolute resistance, supposed to be instigated by a famous millionaire, and the bears were reported to be getting the worst of it. “Vanderblick & Co. seriously in volved,” added the bulletin. Fedovsky gazed for a moment at the board and drifted on. He remembered hearing of the stock before—it was the one which Mr. Vanderblick had men tioned to him on the occasion of their last meeting at dinner. So the “operation” had begun, had it? How little it mattered to him now! A million was nothing to him to-day. All he needed was two cents, and that sum was lying sale in his waistcoat pocket. He kept on down Nassau street. It was his design to tak9 the boat from South F'erry. The street was even more crowded than usual, ow ing to the fact that the business men were out on their way to lunch. Fedovsky’s eyes hap pened to rest upon a young fellow who was walking along in tho same direction as himself, with a tin box under his arm. He was appar ently a bank-messenger, carrying securities or other valuables from one place to another. It passed through Fedovsky’s mind that the box doubtless contained the equivalent of a sum that would enable a man to live in splendor and luxury alt his life long; and he thought how easy it would be for some one to knock the messenger down, seize the box, and escape in the confusion. At that very moment, a stoutly built man, advancing hastily along the sidewalk, with out, as it seemed, sufficienly noticing how he was going, came into violent contact with the messenger, almost throwing him down. In fact, the messenger staggered back, at the same time raising one arm as if to ward off a blow that the other threatened to deal him. Just then a pale man, with dark whiskers, glided out of the doorway, grasped the box, and jerk ed it out of the messenger’s hold. He then turned sharp round, thrusting the box under his light overcoat as he did so, and started to run. But as he was passing Fedovsky, the latter clutched him by the coliar of his coat. Tho young Russian, when in his normal con dition, was possessed of exceptional strength —much greater than would have been supposed from external appearance; nor was he unskill ed in the tricks of the wrestler and tbe pugilist. But his course of life during the last few weeks, and especially the actual starvation of the two or three preceding days, had rendered him even weaker than he himself was aware of. Nevertheless, the thief failed in his first vio lent effprtoto free himself, upon which Ije put fflMMYhis overcoat pocket, with the evi-’ dent intention of producing thence some wea pon—a slung-ahot, orperhaps s revolver. Fedovsky felt his powers abating; but he grappled with his antagonist (with a dim im pression that he had seen him somewhere be fore), throwing his arms around him so as to prevent him from drawing b is weapon. The dqx fell to the pavement in the struggle, and Fedovsky set his foot on it. At the same time he felt a violent shock. Some one had struck him on the head from behind. Ha fell, stun ned, but contrived to fall over the box. Campaign Opened in Atlanta. Bev. Sam Jones Fires the First Gan in the Opera House. The Opera House was filled on Sunday after noon to hear the Rev. Sam Jones make the opening speech on Prohibition. The Hon. George Hillyer, in introducing Mr. Jones, said: “Neighbors and Friends: But a short while ago the bar-room evil rested like a mountain on the very bosom of our city. You have dug down the mountain and terraced it off. On its slopes grows vines, frnit trees and flowers. There are men so self-willed, so blinded by their errors and fanaticisms that have set on foot a movement to build up the mountain, cut down its vines an defruit trees and trample un der feet its flowers. For my part I shall do none of that work. They will get no help from me. Will Uot from you? [Cries of No! no!] After all wAave done, shall wo stand idle and lose it all? Never. [Cries of Never, never.] Among those who assisted in the great work, and who has trees bearing beauti ful fruit, is the man we have come to hear to day. Mr. Jones carries a free lance. He is the maker of his own spear and his own darts. We know not where he may strike. I feel as if I had not done as much as I should have done. But I would ask him if he begins to throw his darts around this stage, to follow the advice of the Irishman about the bullets, “Let them come easy." I ask your silence and attention that you may listen to his golden words. [Applause.] As Mr. Jones stepped forward on the plat form, he was greeted with applause. Mr. Jones commenced by reciting the fact that about twenty-four months ago he made the first speech in the Prohibition campaign. But the question now is not voting bar-rooms out, but voting bar-rooms in. Then it was to go to work and give legs to every barrel and demi john and walk them out. We didn’t have to put legs on some of the demijohns. [Laugh ter.] It has been twenty-four months of prohi bition and satisfaction, of grumbling and truth-telling. It is now proposed to vote in the traffic, that it may take the death grip on our sons and husbands and homes. I am a candidate, but not for any office within the gift of the people. “I am a candidate for eternal life. No per sonal motive has brought me here; what I do and say, I say as a conscience and a voice. My conscience compels me to take sides, to rub up my old musket and stand in the fore front and say, you Fhall never march in ex cept over my dead body. [Applause.] If I had but one prayer to make, that one would be that the churcjfwould be infused with the spirit of courage there. I reckon I a ■car I make a stand and stand a coward. [to be continued.] Bouben Badway’s Refined Romance Respecting Rhoda Remington. [The Colonel.] Reuben Rudwsy reared roses, red radishes, rutabagas, rasborries, rae, rosemary, rhodo dendrons, raised rustic racks round rural re treats. Rhoda Remington raveled rugs, ripped round abouts, rolled rags, read romances runic rhymes; rambled round rugged ruins. Rhoda’s respectable relatives rented Reu ben’s rear rooms, rare, retired, restful, refined retreat! Radiant red roses, ravishipg radishes ran riot, royal ianunculas rustled ragged rob- bins reared rebelliously, reeds rattans, running rareripes reveled. Recent rains rendered Reuben restlesB, ruta bagas rotted, red radishes rusted, Reuben’s ruier reduced Reuben’s rates. Reuben rebell ed, resisted roughly, resented rudely, resign ed. Remembering Rhoda’s ragged rugs Reuben reckoned raveling rugs repaid. Relentless rains roared, railroads rumbled, ruin rioted ravenously, reductions resulted. Ilhcda, rarely raveling rugs, rashly ransack ed ratik roofless ruins; read rural romances; reclined, rested. Reuben rapidly reaping ripe rye, reaches Rboda’s retreat. Rare, radiant, rosy Rhoda retires, rambles round, rallies, returns. Rascally Reuben, tanking rank rye, regards Rhoda; raves, recapitulates, recounts.

Rash readers run—reunion results. Respectfully. Rattlebrained Ruth. a tradesman that you owe a cent to. And that’s why, if yon want money, all you’ve got All * Played Out.” Don’t know what ails me lately. Can’t eat well,—can’t sleep well. Can’t work, and don’t enj oy anything. Ain’t really sick, and I really ain’t well. Feel all kind o’ played out, some way.” That is what scores of men say every way. If they wonld take Dr. Pierce’s “Golden Medical Discovery” they would soon have no occassicn to say it. It purines the blood, tones up the system and fortifies it against disease. It is a great anti-bilious remedy as well. My heart is brave but my legs are cowards. God said that he taketh no delight in the legs of a man. One thing is settled. In the cause of God or humanity, any time, night or day, sick or well, living or dead, I will respond to the call. [Applause.] Some are afraid of losing money, reputation or votes. I am a concentrated, consolidated Prohibitionist, with my wife, chil dren, money, reputation and all, A man once told me that although a mem ber of the church, he had resolved to devote himself to getting money. “Now,” he said, “I’ve all the money I want, and it is ail I havo got.” “Then," I said, “you are tho poorest dog in tho world.” He replied: “I would give all my money for tho simple faith I had fourteen years ago.” I worked iu the ere beds at seventy cents a day, and know the experience of the poor and humble. A man never ran a bar-room on the ground of practising charity. A bar room was never bequeathed as a priceless legacy. The chari ties of a bar-room never covered all its sins. The bar-room begins its existetco as a pauper and is maintained as a pauper. I have no ob jection to a bar-keeper, except, as to that of a louse, “its tho way they get their living, I object to." [Laughter.] The basis of this traffic is sslfianness; selfish appetites, and sel fish greed for money. Who are the men and women who want liquor to come back? Two years ago there were 130 bar-rooms. The life of a b^r-rrom costs $30 per day. poggjfcly mOr0i Cer _ Mrs. Cleveland is very handsome. But her beauty and grace are going to make it em barrassing for her successors. The men who are good timber for manufacturing presidents are not apt to have young and pretty wiveR. Or shall we have to consi ier it part of a man’s "availability” as a candidate that he should have a handsome wife? The beet medical writers claim that the suc cessful remedy for catarrh nrait be nonirritat ing, easy of application, and one that will by its own action, reach all the remote sores and ulcerated surfaces. The history of the efforts to treat c-.tarrh during the past few years obliges us to admit that only one remedy has completely met these conditions, and that is Ely’s Cream Baim. This safe and pleasant remedy has mastered catarrh as nothing elss has cv»r done, and both physicians and patients freely concede this fact. The more distressing svmptoms quickly yield to it.

[Ap plause.] The possibility of prohibition in At lanta is the time will come when a man won’t put raspberry syrup in soda-water. In Car- ter3ville we’ve got them so that they will run from a jug. [Applause.] We want some thing in addition to a law. We want a mayor to enforce it. [Continuous applause.] l^ie antis call on all Democrats to come and join them. Does it mean that democracy is anti-prohibition—is whisky? Is it the Demo cratic party calling the meeting? It is not a question of democracy or repub licanism. Don’t go off and say if Sam Jones hadn’t said so-and-so, I would have voted for it. You lop -eared hound, you lie. I do not believe that any man should adm ; n- ister a law when he is unfriendly to it. We will not have prohibition in Georgia until a majority Bay so, and we have men to enforce the law. I don’t know Mayor Cooper. I be lieve he is a gentleman. But I believe tbe pro hibitionists niggled it when they, agreed to an anti-prohibition mayor. But we’ll wipe the boys up. [Applause.] Every anti-prohibitionist hsn done all he could to demonstrate that prohibition didn’t prohibit. They have talked it, they have lied it. Who violated the law? Have you preach ers, you women, yon children violated the law? Who is violating it? 101 out of every 100 are antis. They have violated the law and run up on Judgo Anderson. [Applause.] The red signs of the barrooms are more dangerous than anarchists and communists. You say prohibition in Atlanta is a failure. God forbid. [Amen.] Fitch in and I will meet yon at the tank. [Applause.] Our col ored brethren have been told that the prohi bitionists set down on them. What has your anti-prohibition mayor and council done for them? My colored brethren [laughter] if it was a little darker I would not be mistaken. But ask the colored man who gives him em ployment and assistance. The prohibitionists of Atlanta. [Applause.] I often preach to the colored people. I am a good colored preacher. I like them. They are a good dis posed people. The white people of the South are their best friends. They got forty acres and a mule. They have got it to get. People who visited your exposition re marked: “I never saw such large crowds. I saw bat one drunken man. If the exposition bad done nothing else, in the midst of rain and slush, than to demonstrate that large crowds could assemble without getting drunk, it has done a big work. [Applause.] If the bar-roomB had been in full blast that rainy day, the devil would have been to pay. People throughout the union inquire about At lanta, and its future is one of the grandest in prosperity in the south. We managed the blind tigers in Cartersville. One was sent up for ten years. I offered $50 reward for any one getting a drink and had to pay one $50. But I got my fellow and had lots of fun. If twenty of you in Atlanta offer $50 each for those getting drinks, it will be rats to your holes. [Applause.] How a policeman will work for $1,000! Men told me that four policemen were drunk at the exposition. Lying rascals! Rice beer, what is it? It never heard of a grain of rice. It is made of spoiled lager beer and mean whisky, and it’s a fool that drinks it. Roll up fifteen hundred majority for prohibition, and rice beer and other noxious compounds will have to go. Did you ever see one who drinks rice beer? You couldn’t get a more idiotic case from the lunatic asylum. [Applause.] Those damnable concoctions called prohibi tion drinks must go too, and some of the drug gists need looking after too. An old bar keeper is a gentleman, aCnristian and a schol ar compared to some of them—you old dog! Every time I say dog, two or three men dodge. [Applause.] I like the word woman. It s better than lady. I urge you, women, of Atlanta, to get bine ribbons, wear it yourself and make your husband wear it until after the election. Giris, when your sweet-hearts come to sea you on Saturday nights [laughter] or any other night, put a blue ribbon on him, and tell him that if you catch him without it until the last vote is polled, never to call again. [Aoplause.] Referring to the contest in Rome, he said that the women of Rome, and not Sam Jones or Sam Small whipped the fight. My wife had rather be the widow of a prohi bitionist than the wife of a saint. Ask your wife if she is not of the same faith and order. When the devil gets in a womam it is a terri ble thing. Run the devil out of her into a hag and it will make straight for the water. It takes a s ght of money to paint a man’s nose led. Sam Smail spent $10,000 and only got a pale pink. Let ns have prohibition for Atlan’a, legal suasion for the liquor seller, moral suasion for the drunkard, and prison suasion for Ike law breaker. Follow your leaden? and fear no evil. Keep on Brother Hawthorne if you don’t have but one friend and mourner, that will be Sam Jones. [Applause.] Keep your temper brethren and don’t quarrel. Have cool heads and warm hearts aDd roll up a majority that will astonish the natives. Before forty days you will shake hands in a jubilee. I will ap point Dr. Hawthorne to preach the funeral sermon the first Sunday in December. Get your text ready, I want to exhort for you. Invite the antis to come now and sing to them: “Ye living men come view the ground where you must shortly lie.” Mr. Jones then graphically portrayed a rail road train stopped by snow on the track, and the fruitless effort of the engine to pass through it. He then urged all to come with white pro hibition ballots and snow under the antis at the next election. He was greeted with con tinuous applause. Ia response to calls Rev. J. B. Hawthorne made a lew stirring remarks. During his re marks a gentleman in the gallery asked him a question. Mr. Hawthorne told him to come on the stage that all might see and know who he was. The man came and announced that his name was D. II. Kent, a mechanic. He asked for a division of time but the audience were not in clined to hear him. Hon. George Hillyer asked all in the audi ence who were willing to work for the success of prohibition to rise np, and the audience from pit to galleries rose like simultaneously and unanimously as one man, amid loud cheer ing and great enthusiasm. Mr. Haygood an nounced that the Young Men’s Prohibition club would organize at 14 1-2 Hunter street, Tuesday night. What Mother Says. [Uzbeth B. Comtes In St. Nicholas.] Now here’s a handglass, let me try If I can this time see Just one of all those funny things My mother sees in me. She says my eves are violets. And what she says is true; But I think they are ] ist two eyes— Don’t they look so to you? She says my lips are cherries red. And makes h’lleve take a bite; They never look like that to me— Bui mother’s always right. She says each cheek Is like a rose. And this I surely know: I never would believe It—but What Mother says Is so. She says my teeth are shl:> leg pearls— Now that’s so very queer: It soma folks said It, why, I’d think— But then ’twas mother dear, I only see a little girl With hair that’s rather wild, Who has two eyes, a nose and mouth L ke any other child. A Coquette in the Bud. Flossie is a dear, little golden haired creat ure, with large blue eyes, dainty red lips and the roundest, pinkest cheeks in the world. She loves her papa and mamma dearly. Her pretty ways and sonny smiles endear her to a host of playmates, and her gentle thoughtful ness of others nTakes hYr the pet of an indfii- gent, doting household. “Mamma,” said the little one softly one day as she nestled lovingly in her mother’s arms, “I love to walk with Mamie Brown.” Tears Bprang to the mother’s eyes at this proof of her darling’s unselfish nature. Mamie waB a poor little crippled girl, whose plain, pinched features were in pitiful contrast to Flossie’s bright beauty, and her attire, though always neat, was very plain and inexpensive. “And why does my little Flossie love to walk with Mamie?” asked the mother. “Because she is so plain and her dresses are so shabby,” artlessly lisped the little one, “that when we are together everybody no tices only just me.” “John, I wish you would rock the baby.” “ What’ll I rock the baby for?” “Because, ho is not very well. And what’s more, half of him belongs to you, and you should not object to rocking him.” ‘Well, don’t half belong to you?” ‘Yes.” ‘Well. You can rock your half and let my half holler.” Let to-morrow take care of tc-morrow, Leave things of the future to fate; What’s the use to anticipate sorrow? Lite's troubles come never too late! If to hope overmuch be an error, ’ ris one that the wise have preferred; And how often hav- hearts been In terror Of evils—that never occurred! “Papa.” asked little Johnny McSwilligen, ‘why are some kings called ‘august majes ties’?” “Because they make it hot for their sub jects,” was the reply. Big buttons still continue to be fashionable. A Texas lady missing two buttons on her dress, asked her boy if he had seen them. “Yes, ma, the cook’s got them. She uses them as lids to the saucepans.” Housewife (to new domestic)—“There is one thing I wish to say to you. The last girl had a habit of coming into the parlor and play ing tho piano occasionally. You never play the piano, do you?” New Domestic—“Yis, mum, I plays; but I’ll hev to charge yer a dollar a week aixtry if I’m to furnish music for the family.” We solemnly believe that the most ultra fashionable young lady in the world, when she is all alone, and knows she is all alone, will hold the ear between her two fists and deliber ately gnaw the corn off the cob j ust the same as we plebians do. Bridle your censure. Tether tbe tongue; Charity’s blessings Ever are young. He knows the temptation Who measures the sin; M »y His maniled mercy Shield all of our kin. A Texas parent had a son who took piano lessons at Prof. Zweibeer's house, bat was supposed to do his practicing on the piano at home. The parent had a suspicion that the youth did not practice much. One day he said: , , “Tommy, do you practice regularly on the piano when I am dowu town?” “Fes, pa.” “Every day?” “Yes, pa.” “How long did you practice yesterday?” “Two hours.” “And to-day?” “Three hours.” “I am giad to hear that you practice so regu larly.” “Yes, Pa.” “And next time you practice be sure you unlock the piano. Here is the key. I locked the piano and put the key in my pocket a week ago.” “ Witness,” said a lawyar in the police court the other day, “you speak of Mr. Smith being well off. Is he worth $5,000?” “No, sah.” “Two thousand?” “No, sah; he hate’t worf twenty-five.” ‘ Then how is he well off?” “Got a wife who s’ports de hull fam’ly, sah!” “ The arrow to the quiver, Tae wild bird to tne tree, Tbe stream to meet tbs river, Tbe river to tbe sea. Tbe waves are wedded on tbe beach, Tbe sn&does on tbe lea. And like to like and each to each, And I—io thee.” NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. FLOWERS!

Chills and Fevers Completely Conquered. A Perfect and Absolute Cure for the Worst Cases of Chills; Also a Fine j Remedy for Sorethroat, Head ache, Neuralgia, Malarial Fever and General Debility. Twelve months of severe suffering from chills and fevers left me, as I supposed, a hopeless invalid. The best physicians and every known remedy brought me no relief and I decided to try an invention of my own, and to my great astonishment it effected a com plete and permanent cure. I then determined to send the remedy abroad for suffering hu manity, and wherever it has gone it has pro duced marvellous results and brought back countless expressions of gratitude from multi tudes who have been soundly healed by its magic touch. In Cincinnati I refused several times to take §5,000 for the patent, and have since refused various liberal offers for it. It is indeed a thorough Master of Chill3, and will destroy them completely in the worst malarial sections where no other known rem edy will produce any effect upon them. It has been found also to be a fine tonic for genera! debility and delicate constitutions. It will strengthen and build them up permanently. It is a fine appetizer, excellent remedy for neuralgia, sorethroat, remittent and intermit tent fevers, and has been recommended for dyspepsia. Try it and be healed, and then toil it to your suffering neighbor. H your druggist does not have it on hand, tell him to order it for yoa from the under signed. Mbs. J. D. Box ley. Occoquan, Va.
