GONE GLIMMERING.
THE SPECIFIC TAX ORDINANCE
TORN TO PIECES
BY THE CITYCaUMIL
Thw Actlon'ofiThat Body on Thursday
Is Reconsidered—ThoIOrdlnance
Amended and the .Amend-
menta’Mean a Prac
tical Repeal.
The Specific tax ordinance didn’t
live very long.
It was born on Thursday afternoon
about five o’clock; it departed this life
yesterday.afternoon at half past four
o’clock; age one day, eleven hours and
thirty minutes.
The ordinance passed by a vote of
five to three on Thursday. One of the
lire was opposed to it, but voted in fa
vor of it because he had no better plan
to offer.
Yesterday morning a called meeting
of the Council was ordered by the May
or for the purpose of amending the spe
cific tax ordinance.
When the meeting'oame to order yes
terday afternoon there were present,
his honor, Mayor Tuck, and Aldermen
Dorsey, Bo.’.-tb, Gerdine, Cohen, Tal-
madge, Hodgson and Smith. Absent,
Alderman O’Farrell.
Alderman Hodgson introduced an
amendment to the specific tax ordi
nance adjusting the tax on merchants
carrying more than one line of good«.
Alderman Talmadge moved to recon
sider the entire action of coubcil. The
Mayor ruled the motion out of order,
when anjappeal was made from the de
cision of the Mayor. The appeal was
put and the chair was reversed. The
motion to reconsider the action of coun
cil was then put and carried.
The Mayor held that in order to en
tertain an amendment the rules would
have to be suspended.
The motiouwas made to suspend the
.yules xtid was carried.
The members then discussed the mat
ter among themselves as to the exped
iency of the Specific tax. Alderman
Talmadge led the fight on the Specific
tax and Aldermen Dorsey, Cohen, and
Booth were of the same opinion. Al
derman Hodgson said he was working
for the best interests of the city and
her people and believed that the Speci
fic tax would be the best irdinaqcc that
could be formed. Aldermen Smith and
Gerdine were of like opiuion.
The opponents of the Specific tax bad
the innings, and the tax
had to go accordingly.
The idea upon which Council finally
Bottled was to levy the Specific tax
upon cobody who carried & stock of
goods or who could be reached under
the general ad valoriura taxation.
Council then took up each section of
the Specific tax ordinance that was
passed Thursday, and struck some out

WITHIN SIX HOURS.
Atlanta, March 19. —A desperate
encounter occurred about 2 o’clook, at
the corner of Pine and Lovejoy streets,

man, whom they were attempting to
arrest.
The negro was shot and instantly

Patrolman Norman killed the negro.
The negro, before being shot inflicted
the wounds upon the officer and his

LIVING AND DEAD.
A mother sits by the glowing hearth,
And she dreams of the days that will
come no more,
When her cottage echoed with youth
ful mirth
And the patter of feet on the kitchen
floor.
When three little jackets in a row
With three little hats hung on the
wall,
And three soft voices whispered low
The i rayer that mother had taught
them all. '
But the ruddy rays of the flsrlight
Checker a floor that is silent now,
And the mother’s hand in vain to
night,
BeacUes-in search of an uplumed
brow,
And the three little pegs stand brown
and bare,
And the mother cries, ‘Oh but to
see
The three little jackets hanging there,
And the three fair boys who knelt by
me.’

THE TRUE CENTRE OF LIFE,
• jBT, MERRILL B. OATES.
All* highest values resolve themselves
into personal relations and personal wa-
siderai ous. Instead of the question. For
wbatdoyou mean toiivoV _
you the supreme, all-inclusive 44?®Oon,
“For whom do you mean to live? To
this qu* slioo the tenor of every man s life
rives no uncertain answer. Whether be
knows it himself or not, hi* life sends out
nn answer, clear enough to tits fellow-men.
The answer, consciously or unconsciously
given by every man’s life, vibrates lull
and strong to the key-note of one of these
three brief replies: “I mean to live for my
self.” ‘I mean to live for my fellow-men,
“I mean to live for God.’ And the last
answer is the right answer. He who once
seta its force, knows well that It includes
the second, which m»y be the mistaken
effort of a noble soul striving to rise to the
corn ct answer. This reply cuts the vtry
central nerve of purpose of the first reply.
He who lives for God will find biinseif
irresistibly impelled to the best and widest
service of his fellow men. He who lives
for self, however carefully he may strive
to strengthen bis position by maxims of
worldly prudence, or of a utilitarian phi
losophy, fails ignominiously of all the
highest ends of living.
Reckon from self as a centre, and your
fellow-men become your obnoxious: rivals
in a stern struggle for existence and ad
vancement. Ambition’s law of life be
comes the blood-stained survival of the
fittest, and the highest glories which life
can give you in their hollow and transitory
splendor will be yours but for a tremulous
moment, until the younger, the more vig
orous, the mote fortunate shall thru.tyou
aside and for bis brief moment wear the
bauble you strove for until your selfish life
went out in nothingness.
Reckon trom God as a centre, and your
fellow-men become your brothers. They
are infinitely worthy of your loving inter
est, since one Father has made all our spir
its after his image, and one Saviour has
died to redeem from sin and restore to God-
likeness all who will tnrn to Him, sven the
most debased. Thus reckoning God as
the centre, the law of loving service and
self-abnegation becomes the law of your
life.
But I have a duty toward myself, you
say. Unquestionably 1 Yon will do the
best for yourself intellectually and morally,
when you give yourself to the service of
God, in the servico of your fellow-men
Thus living, the feveti9h atraiu will be ta
ken out of the hot, paniiogriv dries of life.
The success of all good and true men will
be your success.
The Spirit of Him who came not to be
miniBtered unto, but to minister, possess
ing your souls, failure for you will be im
possible. The verv tffort for o.hers* wel

which may exhaust your vital powers; will

Stock*’ Death Shot. /Y Than 1
Two young men, Porter Stocks and
Alf Cassin, engaged in an animated but
friendly discussion in Redd's livery sta
ble. Finally hot words ensued, and
those standing ground saw that trouble
was brewing, and when at last Cassin
took offense-at a remark made by Stocks
and sent his hat spinning across the
room r it served to arouse inai-lr#d ill-
feeling, and the two young men were
soon quarreling in earnest. Stocks
finally arose to leave, and as he reached
the door was met, it is said, by an in-
, suiting remark from Cassin.
fit - —T" "■’-"He then said to me,"stated Stocks
100/ last night, " ‘D—n you, I am tired of
yonr foolishness aud am going to kill
you the first time I ever seen you
again.’."
As to the truth of that there is no
other testimony than that of Stocks
himself.
Matters quieted down after Stocks
left, the verbal storm blew over and was
forgotten by those at the office. It waa
less than two hodrs later when Sleeks
returned. Scarcely anv attention was
paid to the fact. N. B. Baird, one of
the employ*^ of Mr. Redd, was stand
ing opposite tho door of the office and
Saw the yonng mau enter it.
An instant later Stocks drew a re
volver, a flash was seen, and there was
a loud report.
Cassin staggered and fell back, and
the ball was found to have entered the
left side, a little below the nipple, and
passed between the sixth and seventh
ribs. - It narrowly missed the heart.
He can hardly recover. Stocks is lock

THE OCCASIONAL GLASS.
We have grave doubt of the sincerity
of a man who professes to feel deeply
over the horrors and miseries caused by
the liquor traffic, but whose feeling
does not go deep enough to cause him
to put away the bottle or the cup from
his own lips, says the Chritisn s' Work.
All other arguments aside, il would ap
pear as if the simple weight of undispu
ted facts and figures spread before all
the world dsy hy dar, showing the
fearful and heart-sickening array of
crimes and miseries flowing from the
liquor traffic, would be enough to move
every thinking and reasoning man to
eschew of once snd forever all complic
ity with that traffic, even to the extent
of the ‘ occasional” glass. The man
who is not willing to give up what he
professes to consider only a slight in
dulgence for the sake of the larger good
cortain to follow bis example in total
abstinence, has very slight grounds for ,
his claims to the title of a temperance ’ good*
man or a true Christian.
HIBhhkHHBhIb
The word fellowship se< ms to imply
equality. We have fellowship one with
another, brother, with* brother, workman
with workman, friend with friend. There
is not much fellowship between superiors
and inferiors. They are at arm’s length
aud generally L-el.distant, unsympathetic:
perhaps suspicious and hosllls.
We c*ll Jesus Lord, and the word im
piies m istery, superiority, that kind of re
lation which, with us on eaith, for
bids fellowship. He ia one to be ob< yed
*ad loved; but how can there be fellowship
with our Master?
Tne Twelve called him Lird and Master,
and yet ihey had fellowship with hitn. He
was that sor„t of a Master who was infi
nitely superior to his disciples that he did
not need to keep bimseit above them.
His dignity and superiority were beyond
question, aud he c->uld afford to he very
brotheily and affecliouale with them, aod
give them real fellowship. He had sym
pathy with them, and could col only lead
and teach them, but he could give them
love and ask love in return.
Eellowaiiip implies equality; and there
can be no real fellowship with a su
perior unless that superior somehow puts
aside the superiority, and puts himself on
an equality of some sort with his Inferior.
This is precisely what Jesus has doue. He
c.lls us bis brothers, bis fiiendB. “I have
not cailed you servants.” he says as if we
were his inferiors, “but I have called you
friends.”
To accomplish this fellowship, this
friendship, this brotherhood, Jesus made
himself one like us. This is the choicest
lesson of the book of Hebrews. “He took
not on him,” we are told, “the nature of
angel*; but he took on him the seek
Abraham.” He “was made like unto his
bretheren”—notice the word brethervn.
which implies the closest and moat equal
fellowship- He purposely: put himself
where he could be tempted in all points
like as we are,-so that we might be touched
with the feeling ; of our infirmities. The
Jesus who was bora and died, who hun
gered and thirsted, who slept and wept,
who said his disciples were to him In
place of mother and sister and brother,
that Jesus bestowed fellowship on men
and asks fellowship in return.

Glass number two—other boys do.
Glass number three, it won't hurt me.
Glass number four, only one more.
Glass number five, before a drive.
Glass number six, brain in a mix.

Glass number eight, stars in a p*te.

Glasa number twenty, not yet a plenty
Drinking with boys, drowning hisjovs:
Drinking with men, just now and then:
Wasting his life, kHling his wife;
Losing respect, manhood all wrecked
Losing his friends, thus it all ends.
Glass number one, taken in fun,
Ruined his life, brought on the strife,
Blighted bis youth, sullied his truth.
In a few years brought many tears:
Give only pain, stole all bis grin;
Made him at la v t, friendless, out-cast.
Light-hearted boy, somebody’s joy,
Do not beg'n early in sin;
Grow up a man brave as you can;
Taste nut in fun glass nutnbtn one.
THINK BEFORE YOU SPEAK
I am often surprised to hear sensible
boys and girls boast of their quick temper,
as though it were something to be proud
of. _ 1 •
“I say more than I mean when I am irri
tated,” acknowledged Fanny Fiasbup; “but
then I am sorry the next minute, and take
it all back." ■- . „
“It’s a woid and arblowjwith me, says
Ned Reckless, “ but I never bear malice.’
Now nobody ever makea a boast of being
conceited, or stupid, or untruthful, but, on
the contrary, you could not insult a friend
more surely than by accusing him of pos
sessing any of those traits. Yet nine out
of ten persons are rather complimented by
having their acquaintances declare that
they have noticed their quickness of tem
per. The reason possibly is this: quick
tempered and hasty people are often very
generous and kind-hearted. Impulsive in
anger, they are also itnpdtuous in their de
sire to give pleasure. Bo the two opposite
qualities become contused in our minds,
and in many cases when we are praising
the quick temper we are really thinking of
the generesity of heart.
I am very sure, however, that on reflec
tion we all admire more the self-control
which represents hasty words, than the ill-
temper which blurts them out with no re
gard to the feelings of others. A great au
thor, Thomas Carlyle, nbt noted for pa
tience, once met with a’great misfortune.
He had written the first volume of a his
tory, which had coathim no end of trouble
and labor, and bad lent it to a friend to
read. A careless maid swept it off tbe
friend’s table, and kindled tbe fire with the
precious manuscript. Mr. Carlyle bore the
loss without one reproachful word, and
everybody can see that he behaved nobly.
God is very good to us--many times in
our lives, but his goodness is never so great
as when he prevents our' ill-temper from
making us wretched for life. Suppose tbe
book you threw at Dick when he called
you a “ ’fried cat,” had glanced away
trom him and struck the golden head of
baby in tbe cradle? It would have killed
her. Suppose tbe knife tor which you
fought with Ted had slipped and wounded
him in tbe eye ? Such an accidtnt hap
pened when two little fellows, brothers,
once struggled for a pen-knffe, and une of
them in cons> quence has been bliod dur
ing forty years. I never see the dear old
man, who often visits at my bouse, with
out thinking of the many years in which
be has seen nothing, all in consequence of
that miserable quarrel.
If we should thiuk before we speak or
set in anger, we should also think before
we make promisee. Some of us are veyy
ready to pledge ourselves to do this or that
thing for a friend, quite forg>tful of what
we already have on hand..
“Ellen is so very obliging,” says Aunt
Mary. “She is always ready to help me
wben I am busy.”
“Yes; but to do so Ellen forgets that she
must throw a great deal more work upon
ber mamma and elder sisters," is tbe home
verdict.
Do not call this a sermon, dears, yet
please remember iis text—•“ Think before
you speak.”—Harper’s Young People.

THE GOSPEL TEN
Of Rov, 3. J, Cowan WlU Probably be
Pitched In Athena.
It is p'obabla that on the first Sun
day in next month, Rjv S. J. Cowan,
tbe noted evangelist, will begin a se
ries of tent meetings in Athens. If
such should be the case, the tent will
be pitched on the Cohen property re
cently sold.
Mr. Cowan is now engaged in - carry
ing on a great revival meeting in
Gainesvi'le, Florida, but is making ar-
rangemeots to return to Georgia.
Mr. Cowan is a wonderful revivalist,
and has a great reputatiou as being an
eloquent preacher. Should Mr. Cowan
come lo Athens, and it isveiy likely
that he will, he no doubt will be in
strumental in accomplishing much
It is not eveiy me who can put aside at
the same time both the selfish hope of per
sonal advancement and tbe inherent re
spect of humanity for tbe influential, and
let only kindly benevolence iule in their
place. Tbe gteal English surgeon, John
Abernethy, could. do this, and this fact,
while it proved tbe nobility of the m-n,
also explained the cause ot tbe universe
esteem in which he was held by people of
bll classes.
Toe gieat physician was so benevolent
that he would almost always attend a poor
patient before he would a rich one. Oa
one occasion be Was just stepping into bis
carriage to visits rich duke, wheu a press
ing request came to see a sufferer who was
without means to tender a fee.
“I cannot go to him at present,” said
Abernethy.
“If you cannot go at once, it will be
needless to go al all,” said the messenger.
The surgeon stopped the carriage and in-
quited the poor man’s address. The street
and number were given.
“Drive there' immediately, coachman,”
ordered the surgeon, “the duke must wait.
Besides, be can command the services of
twenty physicians.”
It was a small thing to do, perhaps, but
would every mau have doue ii?
WHICH LOVED BEST?
“I love you. Mother "said little John ;
Then, forgetting bis work, bis cap went on,
And he was off in the garden swing,
And left her the water and the wood to
bring.
‘ I love yon, Moth«r.” said rosy Nell;
“I love you better than tongue cm tell
Then she teased and peuied full half the
day.
Till her mother rejoiced when! she went
to play.
“I love you, Mother,” said little Fan:
‘‘To-day, I’ll help you all I can;
How glad I am school doesn’t keep 1”
Bo she rocked tbe babe liU it fell asleep.
Then stepping softly, she feiebtd the
broom,
And swept the floor and tidied the loom;
Busy and happy all day was she,
Helpful and happy as child Could be.
“I love you: Mother,” again they said,
Tbree little children going to bed.
How do you think that mother guessed
Which of them really loved her best?

THE TEMPERANCE PLEDGE.
I remember in my own childhood, 60
years ago, how we used to Have, all
through the central part of the state,
in op jn churches, school hoksee, and in
the open air in the summer, temper
ance pledges circulated. 1 believe a
great mistake was made when the pledge
was so far allowed to fait into desue
tude. It is the bond of union with the
total abstinence so. It is the bond
of union with those societies of Mr.
Spurgeon’s and Dr, Newman Hall’s
cuurcbe8 in London—tbe one simple
ground on which they can stand. And
the only logical ground is to pledge
ourselves not to drink, not to offer, not
to sell an intoxicant. We do want a
publ o sentiment in ourjland for closing
the dram-shops. We can only get it by
moral and religious effoit. Ob, I
would today that we could have with
the ministers of all tbe churches in
Now York, with the earnest laymen,
the Sunday School teachers, the Chris
tian fathers and mothers, realize the
vsBt importance of the temperance
pledge, and how much we need their
ei-prration.—Rev. D-. Cuylar, of New
York.

BURNED TO DEATH.
Monbok, Ga , March 19.—[Special ]—
Yesterday evening a horrible accident
occurred here.
The little one-year old child of Mr.
Powers fell out of its cradle into the
fire and was burned to death.
The little one had been left in the
charge of an older chil l, but the larger
child left the house for some
reason, and on returning, a ghastly
sight was presented.
The chill had fallen into the fire, and
its face and chest had been bu ued ter
ribly.
The^child was tenderly ou\d for, but
lingered in agony about two hours be
fore death came to itstrelief.
