There are three subordinate lodges of

The total membership is about two

Bertie Jacobs Again*
Lima, O., Feb. 13.—Bertie Jacobs, the
13-year-old girl who insists that she is
possessed of the devil, and who at
tempted to burn her father’s honse and
commit other depredations, made a
murderous attack on her sister, who
called at the police station to see her,
and came near killing her. She was

urday afternoon the up-town ticket of
fice, at the corner of Fourth and Vine
streets, was crowded with excursionists
baying their tickets. *
Among the crowd were three girls.
One of them bonght her ticket to Chi
cago and went away. A short time af
terward she returned very much ex
cited, and, poshing her way throngh
the crowd to the desk, told the agent
that she had lost her ticket. The agent
felt sorry, but he could not give her an
other. Then the yonng lady became
Very much distressed, and began to
weep.
She was sure some one had picked her
pockets. At this point her two confed
erates came into the play. Their excla
mations of pity were load and numer
ous. Finally one of them asked the
the weeping girl why she took her loss
so hard. The story that followed was
most pitiable. She had no more money
and she was going home to see her
mother, who was at the point of death,
and now that her pocket was picked
and her ticket gone, she coaid not go.
"It’s a shame," said her confederate.
"Let’s take up a collection for her."
Then, borrowing a hat, she passed it
aronnd and the silver rained into it un
til the girl had enongh to bray another
ticket and a neat little snm besides.
Abont 8 o’clock in the evening the
Little Miami depot was crowded with
excnrsionists waiting for the last train
to Chicago, on which their tickets were
good. Suddenly another yonng lady
lost her ticket, and she too, was snre
her pocket had been picked. The same
scene was performed as that carried oat

afternoon. There were a number of
people in the waiting room who had
contributed to the afternoon perform

girl who Had lost the ticket in the after
noon do the collecting for the stranger
at night. While they did not contribute,
yet a handsome snm was collected from
the other excnrsionists who were not
onto the game. A third ticket was pur
chased, and the three girls, langhiug as
they rattled their well lined pocket
books, boarded the train for the windy
city. The matter has jnst been report

THRIVING ATHENS
saw a renegade Jew, but that he called
himself by tbe former name. It was
the pen and the brain of Jews that
gave to tbe world the Holy Bible, and
these people mark the dawn of civiliza
tion and worship of tbe Almighty God.
When our race and ancestors were bow
ing down to graven images, and were
beclouded in ignorance, these chosen
people of God bad reared tabernacles to
Jehovah, an ' reached the highest stage
of civilization
Now, Ido not say that tbe Jews of
Athens are perfect,—and I would like
von to show me the man without guile
But I do assert that, as a whole, they
will favorably compare with any class
I have ever lived among. They observe
be lawauf our country, are peaceable,
md thee are not a more charitable peo
ple on v <r g'obe. I never knew an
Vtheos J W to refuse an appeal for aid,
and be never «tops to ask the religion
•r the nationality of the supplicant. L
he is in need aud in distress, is all that
is r. qu'red to open his pursfe strings.
1 never can forget that one day 1
walked your streets feeling almost an
outcast—that every hand was agaiust
me. Bnt I found in the warm grasp, of
tbe hands of Funl e istein, Gotth-inur,
he Mc-sre Stern, Michaels, S'oinau,
Biutnenthal and other Jews the rasp of
confidence and friendship, and heard
their words of encouragement and
cheer. I then and there resolved in my
heart, that if these people ever needed a
friend or a defender, or if one of th- ir
race was in trouble or distress, that I
ould show my appreciation of this
timely kindness iu another manner than
by emptv thinks.
It is the inborn nature of the Jew to
ympathize with those in trouble or
distress. For centuries these people
<ave been tbe victims of unjust persecu-
ion, and their hearts go forth to the un
ion unate. There is neither policy or
•redit in this charity, for it is bred in
heir hearts.
That the average Jew is close on a
rade and loves a dollar I freely
admit; but “let he that is without sin
cast the first stone ” I have dealt with
nearly every nationality, from an An
glo-Saxon to a Chinaman, but I am yet
to find tbe first, man in successful busi
ness but loves the almighty dollar and
■s goiug to look out for self Taken as
a whole, I have found tbe Jews about as
tects of their own prosperity. You
must make the upbuilding of your town
paramount to politics. Let every man
put his shoulder to tbe wheel of prog-
ress and push together. When an en
terprise starts up in your midst, it is
your duty and to your interest to sus
tain it. Brumby’sshoe factory is a
big thing for Athens,
and every dealer should not only han
dle and press these home-made goods,
but talk of Athens shoes wherever they
go. ' The same way with your corn
mills, your factory cloth, your fertili
zer and ice works, and, in fact, every
man, woman and child should be a con
stant drummer for what is produced in
vour midst. Your electric street rail
way is a good enterprise, and you
should spend all your spare nickels in
patronizing it. You must talk up* Ath
ens and Athens’ enterprises until you
make the warld believe that you have
the grandest city on our globe, that
Athens’ shoes will wear longer, that
Athens’ ice Is purer, that Athens’ com
presses squeeze bales tighter, that Ath
ens’ street cars fun faster, that Athens-
made cloth will wear better, that Ath
ens wagons and buggies run easier, that
Athens’ merchants sell goods cheaper,
and Athens people,are cleverer than any
people on our globe.
% If a man moves in and sets up an op
position business, doD’t try and pull
him down, but give him the right band
of fellowship, and get to work to build
up trade enough for yon both. Never
make war on a cirizen who places two
bricks of two shingles where there were
one brick or one shingle before. You
want to induce new o r zens o settle in
your midst., and help build up tue town
and not drive away those that you
have.
The best thing that Athens could do
weald be to take an emetic and throw
off a few of her mos—back politicians,
for they area blight upon the prosperi
ty of yourcity 1 was once down-with
that disease, hut am tbe best cured man
in Georgia I am no glutton and know
when I have enough. Y->u must dra*
your people together, and not widen
the breach between them
I believe I know whereof I speak,
when I tell you that Athens is going to
get the A>iguB r a & Chattanooga rail
road, and that, too, before you expect
it. But railroads never built up the re
tail business of a town, but cuts it
down. Blit this net? line to the' West
will enable you to start manufacturing
enterprises—and here the tiue pros
perity of a place lies. Invest every
surplus dollar you have in manufacto
ries—it matters not how small they b<
—and before you know it you will have
a teeming hive of industry and your
population and your wealth be doubled
Never send a dollar off when you can
invest it at home—and I know
not a better or broader field
for investment than your own magnifi
cent little city. There is not a foot of
dirt in Athens to-day but will bring the
price its possessor wants for it in the
next twelve or eighteen months. You
are on a surer road to prosperity than
ever before, if you will only take ad
vantage of the opportunitv now pre
sented. Every stockholder in the
-Boulevard and Lilly Land Companies
will reap a handsome dividend for their
enterprise and confidence.
And above all things, let your mer

publican party. Harrison cannot be

better. Harrison h is all the inflnence

as a settled certainty that ’’there is life

tiost people believe that the Jews are
tingy. While they are close in a trade,
and will get tbe last nickle they can, at
the same time go into their houses—as I
have freqn ntly rone—an 1 you will find
that there is not a mou- generous or hos

SAMUEL J. TILDEN’S BIRTHDAY.
ie Greystone Club Celebrates It la
Denser—Cleveland’s letter.
Denver, Feb. 31.—The eloquence and
logic of western Democracy gashed
forth in amnle and brilliant tide at a
banquet given by the Greystone club in
honor of Samuel J. Tilden’s birthday.
At the head of the table sat the presi
dent of the Greystone club, with Gov
ernor Boies and ex-Govemor Critten
den in the places of honor.
President McKinley delivered an ad
dress of welcome for the Greystone
club. The event of the evening was the
reply to "Democracy in 1893," by Hor
ace Boies, governor of Iowa. When
Governor Boies arose to speak, he was
greeted with deafening cheers, and it
was some time before he could prdceed.
During Governor Boies’ speech he was
frequently cheered, and, at its conclu
sion, the applause was .immense,
A letter was read from Senator Vest,
also the following:
Lakewood, N. J., Feb. 6,1891
Hon. A. B. McKinley:
My Dear Sir—My absence from home
has necessarily postponed until this time
a response to the courteous invitation I
have received on behalf of the Greystone
Club to attend the annual banquet in com
memoration of the birth of Samuel J. i
Tilden. I am not sure that this acknow
ledgment and expression of my regret
that lam unable to accept your invitation
will reach you before the evening fixed for
the banquet, but I cannot refrain from an
attempt to indicate to those who may be
present tbe satisfaction in being remem
bered in the. selection of your guests. This
is a most excellent and appropriate time
to recall the virtues ana - attributes of
Samuel J. Tilden, the late great leader of
tbe Democracy of the land. In these days
*ur party may remember, with extreme
S rofit, his fire and patriotism, his ambi-
ion permeated with tbe desire for the
welfare of his fellow -untryraen; his
splendid organizing abiUty, stimulated
by his love of country and unstained with
ignoble motives; his unyielding resistance
to all that was undemocratic and unsafe
and his stubborn insistence upon every
thing which had the clear sanction of has
party principles.
These characteristics, combined with
his love for the people and his unfaltering
trust in their intelligence and fairminded
ness, made him a great Democrat, and we
cannot go amiss if we accept him as our
political example. I hope the bauquet
contemplated by your club will be an oc
casion full of iuvigoration to those who in
the celebration of ths 9th of February
demonstrate their devotion to the political
houesty and sincerity which characterized
Samuel J. Tilden, and that those who are
fortunate enough to participate will see,
plainer than ever, their duty and mission
iu resistance within their party to all that
is not safely and surely in accord with
Democratic doctrine and in bold advocacy,
at all times and in all places, of the saving

A Man Determined to Dio.
Terre Haute, Ind., Feb. 1'..—Wil
liam Rehman, aged 50, a German wei-
nerwurst peddler, has furnished a shock
ing case of suicide by firing four shots
into his body—one in his left side, two
through his mouth, and one over his
left eye.. When found, he was lying
stretched on the floor of the kitchen of
his honse, with blood spattered in all
directions. He presented a frightful
appearance. The first shot was tne one
in the side, and after that he evidently
repented, for he bandaged up the wound.
Then he finished himself. He left a note
declaring he had no mauey, and that he
had nothing to live for. The man had
frequently abused his family and had
be-.i arrested for it.

Beauty often depends on
plumpness; so does comfort;
so does health. If you get
thin, there is something
wrong, though you may feel
no sign of it.
Thinness itself is a sign;
sometimes the first sign;
sometimes not.
The way to get back
plumpness is by careful
living, which sometimes in
cludes the use of Scott’s
Emulsion of cod-liver oil.
