Therefore she concluded at length
that she would test the matter by
putting up a job of shouting her

and shouted till she reached the climax
and then went off into a regular swoon.
This being about the close of the service, a
crowd soon gathered around her, both men

agreed to call the committee together
Wednesday, March 21, in Atlanta. The
committee will’call a convention for the
purpose ot selecting delegates to the Dem
ocratic national convention, which meets
in St. Louis June 5.
The general opinion seems to be that
another convention will he called later for
nominating State officials. This has been
the custom in the past. The convention
for selecting delegates to St. Louis will
probably be called for the early part of
May and for nominating State house offi
cials the latter part of August.

Last Itlglit—Ireland’s Condition.
Atlanta, February 29.—The hall of
the House of Representatives was crowded
to-night with people who assembled to
hear Sir Thomas Gratton Esmondo, jnem-
lierof Parliament from South Dublin
Ireland. He was introduced bv Judge
George Hillyer in a short au<{ timely
speech and was received with applause.
The speech was rather short, commcnc
ir.g at 8:10 and closing at 9. lie thanked
Judge Hillyer for tho flattering introduc
tion. In his country people had little use
for judges, and only came in con
tact with them on the docket
He spoke oi his travels through the Soul!
and how great progress was being mad
everywhere. In Ilia mind one great rea
son for all tiic great development here was
due to the government under which we
live. Here you arc enabled to develop
yourselves anil enjoy privileges Irish ;am

rule, and that is what Ireland wants. She
wants a government like yonrs. He spoke
of the condition of his country. Things
looked blighted over there, and it seems as
if a great pestilence had overtaken the
land.

great centres ot industries are now in

of things in this country. It is due to our
laws. In regard to home rule, he said
Gladstone’s bill was defeated hv n narrow
majority. It did not give Ireland all the
privileges she desired, but it met with ap
proval ns it gave us considerable control
in selecting judges and local officers. The
measure gave us some less
power than you in this
State enjoy, and lie wns not sorry, to be
candid, that Gladstone’s hill was defeated,
as home rule was certain inside of two
years. Home English statesmen thought
the question could he shelved, but were
mistaken, as it crops out necessarily
Coercion could not keep the issue out of

From the New York Sun.
Mr. James Debois, of Williamsbridge, is
the author of a highly original proposi
tion, and whether it appeals to the pub
lic’s sporting impulses or not, it offers a
chance for an experiment of great general
value.
On Wednesday last Air. Debois, doubt
less stimulated by the great six-day walk

through the Sun to sleep against anyone in
the world for the space of 142 hours, and
of course the championship, and his hack-

casion, that every bit of this shouting
among the darkies is put on.

Mis* Annie Scliilltfig, who ha* filled the
gation flocked to St. Margaret’s Church,
Westminster, to-day. to hear a special ser
mon by Archdeacon Farrar in connection
with the unveiling, yesterday, of the Mil-
ton memorial presented to the church by
Mr. George W. Childs, of Philadelphia.
The pew space was soon fully occupied,
and chairs were placed in the aisle to ac
commodate the later arrivals. The con- 1
gregation included Mr. Phelps, the Ameri
can minister, and his wife, Baroness Bnr-
dctt-Contts and many leading American
residents. Tho British .aristocracy was
'also largely represented. The service was
the ordinary Lenten one, except
that the hymn before the sermon
was Milton's “Let ns with a gladsome
mind praise the Lord for he is kind.”
Canoa Farrar preached from Lamentations
iv., 7. Deferring for a week the usual
Lenten exhortation, he devoted almost the
whole address^to pointing the concrete les
son of Christianity as expounded by the
noble life of Milton. A spontaneous, gen
erous and just expression of approval of
the action of the donor of the memorial
window was succeeded by an eloquent and
keenly-appreciated resume of Milton’s life
as a Christian man, coupled with an tin
stinted tribute to his genius as a poet who
derived inspiration from a divine source.
After reference to other memorials erected
in the ancient and famous church, the
preacher continued:
But this church may also claim its
special interest in the " mighty name of
Milton. That name is reeortled in our
marriage register and hcre lies buried
with Milton’s infant daughter that be
loved wife, “my late espoused saint,”
whose love (lung a brief gleam of hap
piness over the poet's troubled later years.
Once more we are indebted to an Ameri
can citizen for the beautiful Milton win
dow which was yesterday unveiled. The
well counselled munificence of Mr. Childs,
who has already enriched Stratford-on-
Avon with a memorial of Shnkespcre, and
Westminister Abbey with the window in
memory of Herbert Cowpcr, has now
erected this abiding memorial to the great
Puritan poet. Myself the debtor to
American friends for great kindne--.
I cannot but rejoice that the
Church of St. Margaret’s should furnish
yet one more illustration of those bonds of
common blood and traditions and language
and affection which unite England to the
great republic of tho West, and 1 am glad
that the public spirit of the church ward
ens lias assigned from henceforth tlie use
of one pew in this church to our friends
and visitors from the other side of tlie At
lantic. There was something specially ap
propriate in the Milton window being the
gift of an American, for the United States
represent much that Milton most deeply
loved, the commonwealth which, failing in
England, in America gloriously succeeded;
the Puritanism which, crushed in England,
inspired vigor and nobleness into our kin
beyond the sea. “Paradise Lost” was the
one English poem which the sons of tho
Pilgrim fathers loved, and which, until
Longfellow inspired New England with
a fresh sense of the sacredness of
art and song, alone tempered the
Hern Hebrew ideal bequeathed to tlieir
descendants by those who sailed in the
Mayflower. Some of Milton’s dearest
friends were closely connected with Amer
ican history. Sir Jlenry Vane, the young
er, to who'm lie .addressed the sonnet:
"Vnne, voting in years, in sago experience-
old ;” Vane, who has been called “one of
the greatest and purest of men who ever
walked on the earth to adorn and elevate
his kind,” emigrated to New England in
16S5 ami was elected Governor in
lt>3G. Roger Williams, “the apostle of
soul freedom,” the founder of Rhode
Island, is mentioned with enthusiastic
ffection by Milton in his letter to the
Genoese envoy. The venerable American
[>oet, Mr. Whittier, who has written the
lines for yonder window, most justly says
"The new workl honors him whose lofty plea
peared cranky to some people, hut the fact
that William Benson, in accepting the
challenge through tlie Sun of Sunday,
stated that he was commonly known iis
‘‘Bill Sleep,” showed that sleeping has ac
tually become a subject of professional
practice, and that more than one man is
ready to test his ability in a moneyed com
petition. Mr. Henson comes from’Harlcm,
and has also announced his backers, who
are ready for any sum from $100 to $500.
. On Tuesday a third professional, Pat
rick Mackin, having read of Bebois’s and
Benson's challenges, declared himself
ready to sleep for 142 hours or more, for
from $500 to $1,000 of money. Mr. Mackin
claims to have won his reputation by sleep
ingfour days in Dublin, and he did it so
easily that lie thinks he can beat it.
And this morning in another column
Mr. John Kelly expresses a desire to enter,
also, and with this quartette we have the
materials for a first-class match.
When the contest eventuates we bespeak
for it the attention of every working man
and woman. Sleep is too much neglected
by the human race. It is the most vital
and indispensable function of the brain
and body, barring eating. Except in an
insignificant portion of mankind, the dude
species, it fails to receive the attention
and devotion which it merits on strict hy
gienic principles. Men of business, states
men, lawyers, women of fashion, brain
and hand workers of all sorts neg)»ct
sleep in a degree that both shames their
judgment and injures their health. They
replace it by innumerable substitutes.
Dissipation, frivolity, study, novel reading
and needless anxiety, all take from the
humnn race time which should naturally
and properly be given to sleep. It has
never been taught scientifically or advo
cated beyond the casual advice of the
physician or, guardian who tells one to go
tobed. Yet sleep is like a good deed. Its
frnits follow it. It is the sole action for
which the whole reward comes after it is
done. No one knows when lie is sleeping
or appreciates the sleep, hut every one
wakes up happy after a good sleep, and is
apt to keep so until nature demands an
other.
Among the public matches—such as slug
ging, rowing, walking, billiards, chess aud
other sorts—we have never had a steeping
match, nnd here we have the foundation
for an excellent one. The contests should
he arranged while the nights nrc cool nnd
before the mosquito rail his war cry, so
that it may be slept on it merits. It would
he a match to excite uniTtraal interest.
Gladstone was very popular in that coun
try. After the House of Commons passed
a. home rule measure, the House of Lords
won h| be compelled to sanction it, a» the
former body controlled the finances
to a certain extent and by
withholding certain appropriations
the Lords would pas. it In closing he de
nied that Protestant# were against home
rule, and cited such men aa Grattan, Ein
mett, Parnell and others as proof. He
also said Ireland’s supporters were Protest
ants. He urged Americans to do all they
could in aid of home rule by contributions
and union in sup|»rt of freedom.
J. P. Sutton, secretary of the Irish Land
League, II. C. Morrison and H. \V. Grady
delivered short addresses. Letters of re-
fcret were read from Judge Emory Speer,
Gov. Gordon and Judge Van Epps.
TIIE DUNNING WOMEN.

Atlanta,February 29.—The two Dunn
ing women, who have been under arrest
for several days, and confined in the office
of Chief Connolly during that time, were
released to-day tor want of prosecution.
Just what they were ever arrested for doe.
not appear to be very clear. The only so
lution to it is that Susie Dunning, who is
a minor, took her part of the money de
rived from the sale of her father’s estate
before the law gave her the right to have
it, and ran away with a negro man to
Ohio, where her sister was living as the
wife of another negro. Susie divided her
money with Green Jackson, whom she
claims as her husband, and upon the re
turn of the party to the city they were
arrested. Susie, because she' drew
out her money befo e the was entitled to
it under the law, and her aister because

The window is remarkable for its nrtistic
design and execution, fullness of detail
and richness of color. It is divided by it«
stone work into fonr lights, with tracery
timings, and it is of fifteenth centtn
character, known a* the "iierpendicular"
style, which is that of the church gener
ally. The design of the stained glass fill
ing the window, in memory of the author
“Paradise l/j-t,” isjplaimeil on three lines
of panels in horizontal order, the middle
tier being o( somewhat larger depth than
thoye above and below it. In the two di
visions of the entral eposition* of
the whole, four panels—viz.,
tlics: on the central ami
lower tier*, respectively of these lights—
are devoted to the personal history of the
poet. In one of the bottom panels the boy
St ilton is shown at St. Paul’s school among
his fellow schoolmates. In the next panel
the incident of Milton’s visit to Galileo is
depicted. Above these are two of the
larcer panel, combined to make one centre
subject representing the poet dictatini
“ Paradise Lott” to tus daughter*. Aroum
the-, panels are eight others illustrative of
“Paradise Lost” and “Paradise Regained.”
:ir '’ In reference to the former are represented
the incidents of (1) Satan's summons to
hi* legions; (2) Adam and Eve at prayer
in Paradise, Satan looking on; (3) the
temptatiqns; (4) the expulsion.
In the upper tier the four panels are de

have gone out of fashion. Their unive* !
use by our forefathers and foremothers n

there was very good reason f 3r protecting
tlie head from the consequences of t
much ventilation. Nowadays the he«8
gear appropriate for night use lias becoml
obsolete, so that it will cause no paint,,!
shock when the public are informed by th
voice of medical authority, that the ute, 1
night-caps is actually injurious "i
man,” we are to d, “might as well sW £
his hoots- as in a cap.” We arc not aiL.
that even if a person did commit
tho former enormity any dreadful eflec«
on his health would infallibly follow
whatever might be the results to his b«i
linen. Still, medical science is pretty safe
in running a tilt against night-caps for th!
simple reason that it is hardly anybody!
interest to defend them. When they
employed they are either an interesting
survival from the past, or are specially or
dered because of a patient’s extreme^sus!
ceptibility to cold. Even the form and
fashion of these antique embellishments i,
in some danger of being forgotten by th.
present generation. Yet, when Edmund
Burke wished to express in Varhanient his
apprehension that lie would most likely be
kept at the House all night, the best way
in which he could convey that idea was by
an allusion, which cvervhody nndentorj
and relished, to his nocturnal" head coyer!
ing. An East Indian bore was speaking at
inordinate length, and Burke remarked
“that, if it were the object of the
honorable member to tire and thin
the House by reading all the heavy
folios on the table, lie supposed they must
in courtesy submit; but, to prepare for the
task, ho begged leave to send for his night-
cap." The sally, we read, produced “gen
eral laughter.” It was an allusion to an
article which at that time nine-tenths of
the members of Parliament probably wore.
JIow many legislators now array them!
selves thus? All-night sittings have oc
curred rather too frequently, but no night
cap, that we know of, has ever been ob
served on the head of any recumbent Hi
bernian member, or any occupier of the
Treasury Bench. We are far from assert
ing that the employment of night-caps
would be a parliamentary offense, subject
ing a member to the animadversion of the
speaker, or that it would not impart a cer
tain novelty to the appearance of a popu
lar chamber, if, after midnight, night-caps
were generally put on. An orator, how
ever, who were to imitate Burke’s example
nowadays, and talk about “sending for his
night-cap,” would cause jicople to laugh at
him, not with him.
Georgia Volunteer Soldiery.
From the Savannah New*.
Governor Gordon generally hits the ntil
on the head. He certainly hit it squarely
on tho head when he said in Savannah the
other night that tho volunteer soldiery of
Georgia deserved the fostering care of her
OOP SB. When ho pledged himself to do
!l
will call attention to a beneficent, useful,
delightful, but nuturlou-ly di-re-p.. .1
trait of nature, her love ol sleep, and if
honestly managed nnd plnekily fought out,
it would surely stimulate the more reck
less members of society to such nil observ
ance of hygienic laws that the character of
mankind may be providentially softened
nnd much of it* tentions become a mere
tradition.
A few simple rules should l>o accepted,
such os that there shall be no sormonizing,
or tariff discussion, or civil service reform
editorials, or anvtning calculated to in
duce sleep, permitted within hearing of the
contestant*; and then we beg leave to nom
inate his Honor Mayor Hewitt as umpire,
for if reports be true he can go the 142
hours without sleep, and will remain on
post from end to end.
Take Care, Girls.
From the Philadelphia Times.
There arc some things a well-bred young
lady never does:
She never accepts a valuable present
from a gentleman acquaintance unless en
gaged to him.
She never turns around to look after
anyone when walking on the street.
She never takes supper or refreshments
at a restaurant with a gentleman after
attending the theatre unless accompanied
by a lady mnch older than herself.
' She does not permit gentlemen to join
heron the street unless they arc very inti
mate acquaintances.
She does not wear her monogram about
her person or stick i( over her letters anil
envelopes.
She never accepts a scat from a gentle
man in a street car without thanking him.
She never forget# her ball room engage
ments, or refuses to dance with one gen
tleman and immediately dances with an
other.
She never takes more than a single glass
of wine at a dinner or entertainment.
She never snub* other young ladies, even
if they happen to be less’ jiopular or well
favored than herself.
She never laughs or talks loudly in pub
lic place*.
She never raise* her lorgnette and tries
to stare ]ieople she i'-. isn’t know out of
countenance on the street.
She never wears clothing so singular or
striking as to attract particular attention
in public.
She never speaks slightingly of her
mother, and says the “don't eare” whether
her behavior meets with maternal appro
bation or not.

what he could for the militia he gave s
romiso that many people in the State
ami believe he will keep. He is a
born soldier, and it is natural that he
liould take an interest in military mat-
Wlien his election as Governor was
followed by the npjieintinent of n large
and imposing military stall, it was hoped
that the Legislature’ would he induced
by”the awakened military spirit to
do something more for tho volunteer sol
diery than bad been done previously. Up
to that time a company depending "wholly
upon the State would have had a very
brief existence. A former Legislature hail
been considerate enough to admit that the
State had a militia, hut that was all. Arms
and accoutrements were furnished by the
general government, and all othcrcxpcnse*
were borne by the companies themselves.
Nothing, however, has been done for them
within the past two years. Legislators
seem to be very slow about helping them.
The different battalions arc required by
law to come together once a year, in order
rotect themselve# from disbandment;
in case of emergency, the volunteers
are liable to be called out on duty, but no
provision for their expense is made.
The State requires burdensome, and even
dangerous, service from certain of lier citi
zens in which they mmst incur heavy cx-
senics, anil yet tlie refuses to nssist in pay-
ng these expenses. Is there any justice
in this? Does this niggardly jxdicy tend
to encourage a pro|icr military spirit
which is so essential to the welfare of the
State?
The State is able to do something for her
military nnd there is no good reason why
she should not. Guv. Gordon probably has
more influence with the Legislature in this
matter than any man in the State, and it
is to be Imped that he will exert il. It is
a matter that demands his attention.
Slnhono for Klicrmnn.
From the New York Time*.
Gen. Malione, wher. in this city recent
ly, frankly expressed his preference *for
Sherman. Ex-Congressman John S.
Wise, who was Mahone's candidate for
Governor of Virginia in 1885 against Fitz-
Itugh I/*, har been in town lor several
days. Mr. Wise is in thorough sympathy
with Malione and hi* plans. Mr. Wise
saiil he did not think there was any pomi-
bility of the Republicans insisting upon
nominating Mr. Maine in spite of his
withdrawal. Many Republican* had been
for Blaine against their better judgment
through loyalty and were very glad to be
relieved of their obligation to him. ’
had already made other combinationa anil
could not be won back to the Blaine stand
ard under any circumstance*. Mr. Wise
thought that Virginia would have sent
Sherman delegates to Chicago even if Mr.
Blaine bad remained in the field, and now
there was no doubt of it.
