Policemen Refuse to Resign.
The effort to establish civil service
in the police department of Atlanta
has reached a very acute and interest- i

have refused to resign and declare j
that they will stand i it. This action,
it is said, may block the game and
prevent civil service from being es¬
tablished in the department until the :
next general election.

Taking His Turn.
The other day, as I was walking
along the Strand, 1 almost ran ’nto
the arms of one of my old parishion¬
ers from a parish in the north of
Yorkshire. He was in gala dress
and looking radiantly happy and
pleased with himself. “Halloa, Mr.
Blank!” I said, in greeting my friend,
“and what are you doing in town?”
“Oh,” said he, a bit bashfully, “I’se
on me honeymoon.” "Dear me!
That’s interesting news,” I said, “and
1 am sure I congratulate you heartily.
But where Is the bride?”
“T’missus?” said he; “oh, she
couldn’t come. Her mother was tak¬
en bad on t’weddlng day, and she
had to go and nurse her; soa I thowt
I’d come honeymoonin’ mysel.’ Ye
see, sir, it wms t’chance of a lifetime,

The young wives were ushered into
the governor’s presence by Colonel B.
AT. Blackburn, who stated that “the
wives of John Haynes” wished to he
heard on the requisition proceedings.
The governor greeted both Mrs.
Haynes and asked them if they had
quarreled any. They replied in the
negative, and their deportment bore
them out. They seemed the best of
friends.
“Which one. of you gets the hus¬
band if I deny the requisition?” asked
the governor.
“Oh. we will let the law decide
that.” responded the young wives.
