PREACHER IN HOT WATER.
ATTACK ON ATLANTA SOCIETY BIT
TERLY RESENTED.,
Dominie Declares Liceantionsness the Chief
Charm of the Dance, and [Says Ate
lanta Dancing NSoclety Is Cor
rupt to the Core.
Rev. Dr. Broughton, pastor of the
Third Baptist Church of Atlanta, has
brought a storm down on top of his
head by a germon which he delivered at
his churchon the subject of society.
Dr. Broughton is the minister who
recently made a tour of the disreputa
ble houses of that city, and then went
before the grand jury to give evidence
on this subject, having preached a very
sensational sermon. The grand jury
ignored his assertions, and now he has
tackled sogiety in a way that bids fair
to give him about the liveliest time he
ever had in his life. Since his sermon
many well-known society people have
come out criticising and denotncing
him and bhis -methods, and some of
those who feel that they have been
slandered, have even threatened, it is
said, to thrash him on sight.
The gunof Dr. Broughton’s arrange
ment of society was contained In the
following paragraph of his sermon:
““There are mothers in tne city who
had rather their daughters would get
in society and go to hell than to get in
with good people and try and make the
world better. Society women do noth
ing to make the world better. They
would rather go to onedance thah a doz
en prayer meetings, The fact is, they
don’t go there. Religion is too dry.
The chief charm of the dance is licen
tiousness, and prayer meetings don’t
furnish this. 1 know what I'm talking
about. Men don't dance with ren and |
women with women. Married women
don’t dance with other men unless they
are unhappy. The dress is licentious,
anybody knows it. The position is
worse than hicentious. How low and
degrading, and yet it is society that
does this, and we must not touch socie
ty. Atlanta dancing societly is corrupt
to the core. A prominent character
who scarcely eyer misses a swell ger-‘
man here told me that he had never‘
seen one when whiskies were not free
ly used by both men and women. llf I
had a daughter here I'd rather put her
in a Catholic convent, which I regard
as next door to hell, than to rush her
out into Atlanta society, Whata pity
these girls are here. I tell you if it
were not for the shop girls and other
laboring girls I don’t know what would
become of our churches, Sunday
schools and other works of benevo
lence. 'l'be society crowd never will
do it, and yet they are imprudent
enough to say of themselves, poor, de
luded, simple-minded creatures, *We
are the best people of Atlanta.””’
The People Carry the Load,
There are sore conditions under which
a tax can be imposed on a manufactur
ing concern that will not be diverted to
the consumer of that concern’s product,
but these are not normal conditions, and
the ; solicitude of certaip senators to
raise money from manufacturers and
bankers w.thout imposing any burden
Ipon ¢onsumers recalls the humanity of
the man in the fable, who, feeling that
he was a sufficient load for the horse up
on which he sat, put the saddle bags
across the saddle. He put himself to a
good deal of inconvenience, but the
horse never knew the difference. There
are few, if any, taxes that do not come
back at last upon the cousumer.—New

What a British Jack Tar on the Talbot
Saw There During His Stay.
Timothy Davies recently a seaman
aboard the Dritish cruiser Talbot, ar
rived at Norfolk recently, a passenger
aboard the British merchant steamship
which coaled and cleared for Hamburg.
Davies’ time expired, he said, while
the Talbot was in Havana with dis
patches for British Consul Gullon and
he elected to go ashore there, and did
o, spending a month there and going
then upon a Norwegian ship to Galves
ton, where he took passage for Ham
burg. He said that the bullfights and
other amusements went on as usual at
Havana while he was there; that provi
sions, which came apparently by rail
from the interior, were plentiful and
cheap; that he heard General Blanco
harangue the people from the palace
steps and was told that he abused and
defied the Americans in speaking.
Davies said that mines were being
planted in the harbor all the time he
was there, and that, in his opinion, we
would not be able to enter the harbor
until these were removed. He said also
that many guns had been placed in the
defenses and was under the impression
that these arrived since the blockade,
which he thought was not wholly ef
fective. He also said that many of the
men who manned the guns were not
Snaniards. &

NEWS AND VIEWS,
A pension expert announces that no
new legislation will be necessary for the
benefit of the sick and wounded of the
war with Spain. The pension office is
already at work upon cases growing out
of the strugele now going on. The loss
of both hands yields a pension of $lOO a
month; of both feet, $72 per month; of
one hand and one soot, $36 per month;
one amputation above elbow or knee,
$35 per month; loss of one eye, $l7 per
month; one hand or one foot, $3O per
month; one hand or one foot,
$3O per month; total deafness, $lO per
month, This is of course, not a full list,
but it gives an idea of the value Uncle
~am places upon the fractional paits of
his soldiers.

box, which is automatically opened by
the bars on the sack, both receptacles
closing and locking as they are sepa
