Alsop. formerly Miss Effie Pope Hill, of Washington, G:i . seven-months' bride of the Pittsburg septuagenarian, has returned from Europe and was welcomed enthusias tically by he: aged husband. As if to put a complete denial on the stories of domestic estrangement, Mr. Alsop met his w ife at the steamship pier when she came ashore in New Vork on Saturday and greeted her affectionate ly. Mrs. Alice Martin, who had accom panied Mrs. Alsop abroad, returned with her. a brief reunion at wharf, the Alsop# went at once to the Pennsyl vania station, where they boarded a train for Washington. D. C. Mrs. Al sop said that she was glad to get back and met her elderly husband with as much enthusiasm as he displayed. Her trip was delightful, she said, and her visit to European capitals had filled her with wonder. With unlimited funds, provided by her generous husband, she said she was able to "do” everything worth seeing, but was glad to get back. Mrs. Tom Pierce, who went with her to Europe, remained abroad. The affectionate reunion of the Al sops appears to deny the reports that the pair had separated. Shortly before Mrs. Alsop's departure for Europe, it was said she had left her husband convinced that her marriage to the Plttsburger was a mistake. Although the report of the estrange ment was denied vigorously, Mrs. Al sop's departure for Europe after living apart from her husband with her moth er in Washington, lent credence to the story that a separation had taken place. The marriage of the Alsops created a sensation in Washington. Ga., where Mrs. Alsop formerly lived and was well known. When the ceremony was per formed seven months ago Mr. Alsop was 70 years old and his bride 19. When the separation took place Mrs. Alsop Is reported to have said that mar riage between a man and a woman of such different ages was a mistake and could not be a happy union. Dr. Parkhurst Hotly Answers New York Mayor GAYNOR IS GIVEN THE LIE NEW YORK, Dec. 3.—ln a burning reply to charges of cruelty to unfortu nate women, Dr. (’. H. Parkhurst, the eminent New York clergyman, gives the lie direct to Mayor Gaynor, of that city. The letter says: To His Honor, Mayor William J. Gay nor. Mayor of the City of New- York: Sir—Your mind, which may be sup posed to incline graciously and sympa thetically toward whatever concerns the interest of this municipality, I desire to Inform bv a brief recital of facts. May I solicit, therefore, your patient and in terested attention? Some twenty years ago a number of citizens of this city, being convinced of the existence of a certain amount - of collusion between the police and the criminal classes, set about to investi gate the situation with a view to bring ing the facts to the knowledge of the public and politically dislodging the nefarious organization that was thriv ing upon commercial vice. Considerable thought and time were devoted to determining the wisest and most promising mode of procedure. We acted upon the assumption, subsequent ly demonstrated to be a valid one, that gambling, bawdy-house managers and saloon-keepers were all doing a thriv ing but Illegitimate business and giving up to the police a part of the profits as compensation for protection. Gunning For Larger Game. We were not trying to close either gambling houses, disorderly houses or saloons. We had our opinion of them, of course, but were not motived in our action by the purpose of the immediate desire to see them wiped out. We were gunning for larger game and for re sults that w-ere more fundamental. To be more specific, we were en gaged in no crusade against vice, but against city official# who encouraged the development of vice as a means of revenue. You are credited with being clever-minded, and I trust you will bring that cleverness to bear in an in telligent grasp of the distinction be tween fighting vice and fighting the propagation of vice with a view to pocketing Its emoluments. In pursuit of our purpose we labored along the line of dlsordely houses rath er than along that of gambling or vio lation of excise only for the reason that we concluded that it was by that means we cou'd more readily attain the ob ject that we had in view. Now. Your Honor, the statement of our policy as just made and the reason for adopting that policy as just indi cated has been declared upon the plat form and reiterated in the newspapers a thousand times, and it is only be cause I am having to deal with stupidi. ty, voluntary or involuntary, obtuse ot malicious, that 1 have been led to re peat it fr my letter to you. You were on the bench at the time, and you knew then and 1 should have supposed that you would know now that all this talk about my persecuting the poor girls was for the sake of throwing dust in the eyes of the public and saving from defeat at the polls that body of organ ized depravity that helped to compass your election to the mayoralty. "A Damnable Lie.” One cold winter night a lot of the unfortunates serving in disorderly houses along Thirty-first street were pitched out Into the snow by the po lice with the Information that it was done at my motion. You are reported as saying a few days ago at the Colom It is the duty of every Atlan tan to vote in tomorrow's city election. * Mrs. Effie Hill Alsop. club: “Some years ago a clergyman in this city induced the public authori ties to drive them (the girls) and spread them and club them all over the city.” Now, what the police said about my causing the Thirty-first street girls to be thrown out into the snow was a damnable lie, and if you referred to me when you said at the Colony club what I have pust quoted, it was just the same kind of a lie; or, begging your pardon for the use of that discourteous term, all T mean is, that what you said was just as far from the truth as hell is from heaven, and the mayor of this great city can be about business more commensurate with the dignity of his exalted position. Os course, the girls came up to my house from Thirty-first street boiling with rage, as hot as they could be con sidering the fearful inclemency of the night. For the first few minutes they were a pretty difficult company to deal with, but it was not long before they discovered that even if I was a clergy man and Mrs. Parkhurst a clergyman’s wife, we still had hearts. We fed them and we comforted then;. We gave them all the facts in the case, and they went away our friends, and the friendship of some of the girls we kept for years. Some Pointed Questions. Your Honor, have you ever taken such girls into your home and fed them and comforted them? Did you do anything of the kind in that white and negro resort maintained in one of your houses in Brooklyn, re ported to me by three different detec tives, and which I visited myself with a detective of my own, and caused that secret notification might be conveyed to you in order that you might be saved from the contempt of your constituen cy? Perhaps you did not know what was going on there; but the public would not have excused you. And I, a heart less clergyman that causes poor girls to be clubbed all over the city, sheltered you lam sorry for you. Your Honor, and I am awfully sorry for the city' The Lord wept over Jerusalem. Yours truly, C. H. PARKHURST. ATLANTA BOYS TO PLAY IN UNIVERSITY DRAMA ATHENS. GA..
