Atlanta, Dec. 2G.—There are more developments in the Charles Arnold case, the popular Atlantian who died after four day’s illuess two weeks ago, and after whose death it' was discovered that he was a de faulter to al! the companies he was treasurer of. It now turns out that eight years ago Arnold was teller of a private banking house in Chicago and was convicted of embazzling 84,200. He was sentenced to four years in the Joliet penitentiary. After Arnold’s release there, he came to Atlanta and got the confi dence of the business men. A guar antee company was on bis bond and had to pay bis shortage to the Chi cago bank. The compauy notified their agent here,who was Hon. Amos Fox, now postmaster of Atlanta, to get certain information. Arnold confessed to Fox that he was a con vict, but said that he intended lead ing a new life and exacted a promise of Fox to keep the secret Fox did so until to-day, after Arnold’s defal cations were made public. Arnofd has a wife and a married daughter here. His wife is a paralytic. The White House Tree. Washington, Dec. 23.-—The white house Christmas tree was lighted this afternoon.

Democrats Must Unite. Any democratic dissension over the Wilsou bill will prove a greater menace to its success than republican opposition. With thc democrats united the bill can U e passed without unnecessary delay. But if any con siderable number stand Out for the local interest of their respective dis tricts the effects may be to delay, if not defeat, the passage of the bill. This may prove disastrous both to country and the democrats. On the success of tariff revision de pends the success of the democratic party. The people have called it to power to revise the tariff, and if it fails or long delays to do so the result will be prolonged business depres sion and hard times for which the democrats will be held responsible. . Hence, to say nothing of patriot ism, good politics demands that the democrats iu congress shall r ise above local considerations and unite on the measure deemed best for the country and the party. They should unite not only to pass the bill, but to -pass it without needless delay. To avoid delay is second in importance only to averting defeat of the measure. Bus iness must continue to be disturbed until it is known what changes are to be made m customs duties. The sooner that is now known the sooner will come the dawn of prosperity. Booth as Billposter. One story of Booth’s trip to the Sand wich Islands remains with me. He had gone there in 1854 in company with I is comrade, Mr. David C. Anderson, en ‘route to Australia, and they were to play in the Royal Hawaiian theater. They had hired a native to paste up the bills announcing the performance. This had to be done- with a preparation named “poe-poe,” made from a vegetable called “tara-tara,” whiclws a iftvorete food in Honolulu, but the poor man was sohuri- • gry that yielding to temptation he in continently ate uplhc paste, and to their surprise no bills appeared. When the reason was ascertainsd, they feared to trust another native, and it was there fore agreed that as Booth was thc young er he should act as billpo&ter, and it came to pass that every night alter thc ' performance Edwin went about the city with his play bills and bucket of paste and put up with his own hands the posters announcing what the company would play on the following night. And he assured me that he did this houestlv and did not eat any of the paste!—Wil liam Bispham in Century. Send your job work to the Herald.
