The Georgian prints no unclean or objectionable ad vertising. Neither does it print whisky or any liquor advertisements. The “Independents” Mean Partisanship, The New York Independent prints with Us editorial Indorsement an anonymous communication dealing with the Atlanta riot with the statement from The Independent that It was written by one of the best educated of Georgia negroes "whose name, if It was safe to print, would have carried confidence to all Its readers." With regard to the educated negro who wrote It, The Georgian from an absolute knowledge of the situation denounces the statement to be a mass of tales, and regards the attitude of The Independent in printing It as a wan ton and unprovoked expression of Injustice to the South. The article headed "The Atlanta Massacre" is one con secutive string of falsehoods from beginning to end. Lie i\umbsr one Is tbe statement that the Atlanta mob grew out of the campaign of Hoke Smith for governor and from ths comments of The Atlanta Journal during that canvass. Ue number two Is lu the statement that Ths Georgian Issued flaming extras during the period of the riot. Any educated negro who lives In Atlanta or . anywhere else will testify that The Georgian Issued no extras, neither on the evening of the riot nor on the suc ceeding days of Its continuance. Lie number three Is In the statement that the business prosperity of certain ne groes In Atlanta was an Inducement on the part of white men to attack them. Lie number four !b the compre hensive He In which the whole progress of the mob Is misstated and In which are given Incidents of brutality and horrors which no man ever saw and which never oc curred lu Atlanta. The Independent poses ns an honest and Independent newspaper. It has had facilities for being both honest and Independent. It has upon Its staff an eminent Georgia woman who knows the truth of the Southern situation and who haa doubtless told It to the other members of the staff. But The Independent has printed as yet, not a single paragraph stating the conditions surrounding the mob and the awful provocation which produced ft, al though that statement was at band on Monday morning, September 24. It promptly and cheerfully lends its pseudo independent columns to the diatribe of a negro who mis represents from first to last In his statement of the con ditions preceding the mob and of the Incidents which characterized It. The Independent Is not Independent. It Is malignant, narrow, partisan and prejudiced to the last degree. It seeks the negro side of the question while It studiously avoids tbe open statement of the white man's aide. The Independent la a negrophlllst without reason, and with out limit. The kind of Independence which It pro fesses and presents Is not that of a free, broad Ameri can citizen, but that of a narrow New England fanatic which every Southern subscriber ought tp resent. Rldgway’s. / Tbe notable literary event of the last week In tho South la the appearance of Rldgway's Magazine. This magazine was Issued from Atlanta as one of tho fourteen cities In which It makes Its simultaneous ap pearance. The Atlanta branch Is under charge of Mr. Jos: Ohl, who was for so many years the able and popular Washington correspondent of The Atlanta Con- atltutlon. And this connection assures for the Atlanta branch an able and capable treatment, and the Instant affiliation of a multitude of friends. Rldgway's first ap pearance makes an admirable Impression upon the mind and eye of the South. Both In the excellence of Its read ing matter careYully selected, and in the abundance; and caliber of Its art editions, It la a very striking and affective publication and will doubtless grow rapidly In tbe appreciation and patronage of the people of Geor gia- The Georgian cordially wishes It success In this field of activity and predicts that this will be speedily won. The Monopoly Getting Scared. , It anyone doubts the effect that the crusade for municipal ownership Is having upon the monopolies of Atlanta and of Georgia, he lms only to watch the malls. Uncle Sam’s poaches are pretty well filled every day with the multitude of doctrines which are coming to the city both from local mailing places and from ontslde mailing places containing literature carefully selected to antagonise the theory of municipal ownership. Not a day passes but some pamphlet or booklet or report bearing the earmarks of the monopoly comes Into the malls of hundreds and thousands of Individuals throughout the city, and perhaps throughout the state. It la just ai w-ell for the people to be on guard against these statements which are so carefully edited by the agents of opposition. They are very specious In their Ideas, and are apparently very well founded In their origin, but with most of tbem It will be found that they are the extraordinary statements of interested wit nesses, and that they contain inrgely captious objections and factional reports of experiments which havo had the slightest complication. We are quite confident *tbat the people of Atlanta are too well balanced in judgment aud | too well settled In their convictions to be unbalanced or | •hanged by these wordy demonstrations. Very clever suggestion. Mayor Dunno, of Chicago, lo advise Sir Thomas Upton it he couldn't "lift a cup” In American waters to "lift an American bride In American society.” And tbe same la to the credit of your honor and speaks well for the lady mayoress and the twenty little Dunnes who have come in season, and are always recog nized. Sir Thomas would be quits welcome aa a souln-law of the republic The Governor-Elect Makes Good. When a great people In a distinct emergency elect from tyelr number a strong man to bo their leader and executive, they expect of him leadership and direction— not timidity and time-serving. And to this standard of expectation, Hoke Smith, governor-elect of Georgia, rose on Wednesday at La- Orange. There Is all too much of timidity, hesitation and cow ardice In the atmosphere of Georgia since the Atlanta riot. Apology, explanation and protest have ruled the hour, and In the wake of the priest or the tradesman, the voices of tbe people and of the press have been, In the main, timorous, Indefinite and altogether lacking In that strong and aggressive comprehension which shapes public events Into future policies, and dominates crises In the real and durable Interests of civilization. There la no cowardly and Indefinite note In Hoke Smtth'a utterance at LaGrange. He was elected in the majesty of magnificent numbers upon a definite platform of white supremacy, and be has not forgotten the Is sue and the people who answered It in the dplendid emphasis of the August primaries. Steadily and fearlessly the next governor of Georgia lays down the doctrine that these two opposite, an tagonistic and unequal races cannot and must not he treated as equal under the laws of Georgia. Without a moment's hesitation the strong man of August 22 declares that the white man must accept the full responsibility and control of the situation, and that the legislation and Its execution which is to remedy the appalling evils of the present must be wrought out un der the doctrine of the white man's eternal superiority and Hupremacy which Is not inconsistent with the black man's safety and protection under the law. It Is significant beyond measure that the man just elected governor of Georgia by tbe greatest majority In Its history, declares his belief , that tbs races may eventually separate, and that the policy of the Caucasian must* be founded upon the wisest and safest control of the negro while he is a part of our system of govern ment. “The fourteenth amendment,” declares Mr. Smith, hinders the most Intelligent mode of handling the subject,” and he Intimates that the time wilt come when the national government must legislate for the negro as haa long been accustomed to legislate for the Indian. The governor-elect devotes much time to the dis cussion of the criminal negro, the Idle, loafing negro, and the vagrant, and the methods of keeping them under rigid control. He stresses the necessity of teaching the negro In the public schools more of character, industry and responsibility than of the contents of books, and he emphasizes with all his great natural force the Important fact that the industrious and law-abiding negro can only escape responsibility for the crimes of his race when he contributes all his' energies and all his honesty to prevent these crimes and to deliver tbe criminals of his race to justice. To this sound and candid expression Mr. Smith adds the assurance that tbe white man must and will protect the Industrious and law-abiding negro and help him In every possible way. It Is refreshing and Inspiring to the philosopher of events to find In the first utterance of the next governor of Georgia an utter absence of those empty platitudes of maudlin regret which have been all too common In the atmosphere of recent discussion, and a bold and vigorous expression of a mind and spirit which grasps firmly the nettle of our present danger and proposes to advocate and to execute the racial policies upofi which the will and the wish of the people has been so magnifi cently expressed In the last state election. Timidity and the commercial spirit are the debilitat ing Influences which hamper the firm and permanent so lution of tho pressing problems of our time. There was never a crista In which both courage ant) commerce $rer* not called upon for tribute and sacrifice and In this great question which. Involves the Integrity of race, the unity of the republic, and the sanctity of our noble women, It is a matter of rejoicing that at tbe helm of state wo have n brave, firm hand that will be always duly regardful, but never slavish and subordinate to the whine of the dollar or the selfishness of trade, The govornor-elect has made good In his first ut toranco in Georgia, and we congratulate both him and ourselves u|>on the courage of his views and the inspir ing candor of their expression. OUR PLATFORM—The Georgian stands for Atlanta’s Owning its own gas and elec tric light plants, as it now owns its Water works. Other cities do this and get gas as low as 60 cents, with a profit to (be city. This should be done ai once. The Georgian believes that if street rail ways can be operated successfully by European cities, as they are, there is no good reason why they can not be so operated here. But we do not believe this can be done now, and it may be some years be fore We are ready for so big an undertaking. Still Atlanta should set its face in that direction NOW I GOSSIP RACE RI0T8 AND THEIR REMEDY. To the Editor of Ths Georgian: In the prelude to the night sermon at the Second Baptist church, of Chicago last Sunday. Pastor John Roach Stra- ton discussed the subject of "Race Riots and Their Remedy.” He said in the beginning that his long residence In the south, and especially in Atlanta, Oa^ where the riots of the post week occurred, had given him opportunlty for careful observation of the situation between the races. He said thnt every conslderatton of honor and honesty- required that we treat the negroes with fairness and justlca. They are not here through their own choice, but na ths result of the greed and inhumanity of our forefathers, and it Is Incumbent upon us, therefore, to give them, a square deal. "But,” said tbe minister, “we must not forget also to be Just to our own people end to our white brethren in the south. If the north could fully- understand the burden that the south Is bearing, there would be only a feel ing of profoundeat sympathy for the section. If we could Imagine In Illi nois, In Chicago, such conditions as exist In the south, we would be slow to Judge our southern brethren hastily or harshly. The Increase of the un speakable crime of the negro man since the civil war Is one of the most appalling facts In our national history, and it has brought ubout in the south tt condition that has never before been confronted by any civilization. Over every home lu the southland the shad ow of an awful, haunting dread con stantly hangs, i received in yesterday's mall a letter from a dear friend—the father of a family. In which he told that he had decided to give up a trip away from home that he had planned, because, aa he said, "The bad negro haa become such a menace that I do not dare leave my wife and daughter at home alone.” Hon. John' Temple Graves, editor of The Atlanta Georgian., told me. personally during his recent visit to Chicago that lie lived In constant dread because of the unfortunate situation. His home Is at College Park, a suburb nine miles from Atlanta, and he declared to me that he never turned his face home ward In the evening from the duties of the city without feeling an Inde scribable apprehension that something might be wrong In the home: and If that Is the case ip the cities, you can Imagine what the feeling must bo In the eparsely settled country districts, where the blaclu often outnumber tho whites ten to one. Think of the far mer, who has to leave his home qpd go, sometimes three or four miles away to plow his distant Held, leaylng his wife at home alone to prepare his din ner! Think of the unspeakable and horribly fear that hangs constantly over them both. ”THe burning of the negro, Sam Hose, near Xewnan, Oa., a few years agb. was one of the most disgraceful and distressing events In the history of our country, and it deserved the de nunciation that was given It by the northern press; and, yet. the other side of the awful tragedy should have been even more heartily denounced than the crime which avenged It. Sam Hose was a trusted farm hand. ■■ had been kindly treated by every mem ber of the family, which he later de stroyed. One night the family^ were Nooks and Comers of American History By REV. THOMAS B. GREGORY. Max Barber and His Lie. We are Indebted to a Chicago paper for tho In formation that J. Max Barber has shaken the tfust of Atlanta from his feet and that the Voice of the Negro will henceforth be published In the city of wind. Chicago Is welcome to Max. He Is the negro who wrote the anonymous letter to the New York World In which he first Inaugurated that infamous falsehood that the outrages upon white women which provoked tho mob were all committed by white men with burnt cork on their face*. Dozens of the news papers have wantonly paraded this shameful lie on the lips of other Irresponsible negroes and It has gone broadcast through the region of prejudice to do its damnable work. MR. FREDERICK WARDE.—The Atlanta Lyce um put Its best toot foremost on Its opening night In presenting to the Atlanta public Mr. Frederick Warde to lecture upon Shakespeare and his plnys. Mr. Warde has for many years past been recog nized ns the leading actor of the legitimate upon the American stage. His long experience, diligent study, and magnificent equipment in temperament and personality have made him tho most powerful and popular interpreter of the 8hakespearean drama of our country. HI* lecture Wednesday night drew, as It certain ly ought to have drawn, a rep'reseatytlve audience of the culture and taste of Atlanta. And It does not need to l>e said that lo those who board him. the recompense wan rich Indeed in pleasure anti In profit to every member of the lyeeum and to every visitor to Its opening entertainment. The character of the lycoum la constantly advanc ing. and as the taste nf the people becomes more and more educated to the higher thlnga, the lower forma of platform entertainment will give way to the bet ter and higher expressions which carry dignity and educational profit aloug with pleasant entertain- meat. seated at the supper table—the father, his wife and the baby, when, suddenly, without a moment’s warning, the door was opened In the rear of tbe father's chair, and the negro, Sam Hose, stepped Into the room, and sank an ax blade Into the skull of the husband and father, and then slapped the baby from its high chair and Into Insensi bility, and kept the wife and mother a prisoner for hours In the very room where her dead husband was weltering In his blood and brain. Can It be much wondered that the neighbors of tlmt highly respected and beloved fam ily should have come together and hunted down that man very much us they would have hunted u wild beast of the jungle? "And take the situation which called forth the.ilots In Atlanta. * For weeks there had been assault after assault right there In that great city, until the tension between the races hod be come Intense. On Saturday, preceding the outbreak on Sunday, there were four outrages perpetrated on white ladles by negroes. They kept coming one nfter the other from different parts of the city, and tho news fired the cttlxenshlp more and more. Now, At lanta has a population of only a hun dred thousand people. If we had had in Chicago a proportionals number^ of assaults, th htre would havo basn eighty aglne what your feeling would have been, and what the feeling of this en tire community would have been, If there had been eighty assaults on white ladles and children by negro men within our city during one after noon and night? Would we not have witnessed here, as we witnessed at Springfield, Ohto even more disgrace ful scenes than those which occurred in the southern city? “This Is said not to justify nor to excuse the awful Iniquity of racial prejudice and lynching. Lynch law means the ruin of civilization. It Is unspeakable folly, because It does not check these crimes, but causes more of them through the sensatlonnl dis cussions which the riots call forth. Unless we can protect our civilization by law, then anarchy alone awaits us, and we ought In all sections of our country, north and south, to realize this, and re-establish the reign of law. And the people of the north need to exercise patience and charity tonnrd their brethren In the south, because the burden that the south Is baaring Is a grievous burden. "But one nf the saddest parts of the whole situation In regard to these ra cial outbreak* la that the Innocent are made to suffer as well RS the guilty. The outbreaks against the negro In 8pringfleld. Ohio, and In New Vork. qnd In. Leavenworth, Knn.. and Ir. Terre Haute and Evansville, Ind.. as well ns throughout the south, have demonstrated that racial prejudice Is on the Increase Instead of decrease, anil tt bodes no gi-nd for our country. There Is a need of Christian sympathy and eo-operation on the part of all the people from all sections of our country, that a more Christian spirit mav come to prevail lu our desllngr with this and with nil of our other problems. .Chris tianity. at last, is Die only ho|-c for bettering present conditions between the races, and for the safeguarding of the future. The mean white man anti tho had negro can never solve this problem. Bat a Christian snlrlt. ever growing and declining within the rank* of both rare*, will bring about a better state of affairs." CITIZEN. Some Pennsylvania Land Dealt. Against William Penn there are very few- black marks, but the same can not be said of his suns, especially qf hia son Thomas. Memorable among the ryal estate transactions of Thomas Penn 1s that known as "The Walking Purshase," of the year 1727. Penn claimed that a deed had been given to his father by the Indians for a tract of land a certain distance back from the Delaware, and parallel to It. as far as a man could walk In a day and a half. When it came to confirming this al leged deed Thomas resorted to the tac- ,tlct which were worthy of Jacob of old. He hired the fleetest-footed woodsmen he could find, qnd In addition had the ground surveyed, the trees marked and a party of horsemen to speed the walk ers In every way that was possible. The Indians sent a party of their braves along to look after their In terests, but they soon gave up the job. claiming that (he walkers were run ning rather than walking. When the day and a half were up the walkers were SO miles beyond the Lehigh river. Not only so. The line, Instead of be ing drawn from tho end of the walk directly to the Delaware, as It ought to have been, was slanted upward for a Inng distance, so as to include the en tire Mlnlslnk country, the most de sirable part of the province. Very naturally the defrauded Dela wares were decidedly reluctant about leaving their beautiful Mlnlslnk hunt ing grounds, and then It was that Thomas resorted to more tactics. Be ing unable of himself to oust the Del awares from the coveted territory, Penn sent an agent with fine presents to the dreaded Iroquois, with the re quest that they use their Influence In the case. The Iroquois took the hint and sent the Delawares the following message: "You know that you are women. Return to whore you came from." The fear of their overlords was effective, and the Delawares moved further west, leaving the valuable re gion In the hands of Penn. In 1764 Penn consummate^ another of hls shady land deals. By deceiving the Indians with com pass courses which they did not un derstand, and by tricking them Into granting a deed with the signatures of the tribes residing within tho region, the unworthy scion of the good Wil liam acquired a territory west of the Susquehanna of some seven millions of acres—an area equnl to the state of Maryland—for 750 pounds! In other words, the price that the poor red men received for their land was the thirty-ninth of a penny on acre! And Thomas Pehn was a Christian— and the Indians were "benighted heath en," Ignorant of the “will of God" and the "law of Christ!" Says the author of "The Thirteen' Colonies:" 'When the Indians learned of this grant and were told that they must fall back among the stranger tribes to the westward, they went over in a body to tho French, and were soon shooting down the British regulars and tearing scalps from the heads of worn en and children in Pennsylvania" M And the "Christians" threw up their hands In holy horror to think of the atrocities of the "red devils! ’’ THINK8 WHISKY THE CAUSE. To tho Editor of The Georgian: I have read In the columns nf your paper various opinions as to the causes that led to tho riot, and I must say that the Rev. Sam Jones Is the only one who, has "hit the spot.” You can trace the cause of the re cent riots to Its last analysis and you will find that It Is whisky. You may call It mean whisky, Decatur street whisky, but take the best of It on De catur street, and It will have the same effect. • Whisky In th# hands of a negro brute makes him a demon that knows no law and fears mo punishment. To gratify his momentary desires Is'hls ony aim. Fire is added to hls animal desires and a rape is the consequence. Whisky In the hands of a white man makes him lawless, shameless, heartless and without regard even for hls own flesh and blood. The murderer, the gambler, tho defaulter cornea from this class. This same whisky that caused the rape caused the lawless white element to shed Innocent blood, disgrace our city and cant a shadow upon Southern manhood. Our country friends hhve long since discovered that to protect their wo men they must get rid of whisky, for a mean negro follows the whisky. At lanta has monopolized the whisky busi ness and has drawn the vicious negroes from all parts of the state, for they have not adapted themselves to the "mail order system." • 'Our poor, helpless women and.chil dren suffer enough from starvation and brutal treatment from drunken white men without heaping upon their de fenseless heads the negro rapist. 'It Southern men could feel that whisky was an army, that made such havoc of homes, fortunes, lives; that murdered the Innocent, starved the helpless and raped our women, they would shed the last drop of blood they possessed to dethrone It. Whisky Is an army, If they could but realise It—an army generated by whisky dealers, with landlords, politicians and newspapers as lieutenants. I will not attempt to describe the rank and file of this army, that inarches heedlessly over women and children, that leaves blood tears and new made graves In Its wake. We have grown callous over the sit' tuition. We hove been "doped" by the politicians, and some at the newepa T^tank God for The Georgian with Its clean sheets and Its brave editor and proprietor, who have nerve enough to turn down whisky page ads If you want to know the cause of rape and riots, “ask the revenue of' fleer." GEORGE J. CARPENTER. VALUE OF PROVING THE FACT8. THE VALUE OF THAT LETTER. To the Editor of The Georgian: Dear Sir—Having read with deep Interest and full approbation your pow erful and eloquent letter to The New York World, I forwarded The Georgian to The Portland Oregonian, with tbe comment that it voiced my own senti ments and expressed, as I believe, the feelings of every decent white man In Christendom. The Oregonian, which Is by all odds the greatest newspaper In tho West, has not always been the most chari table critic of the Bouth In Its discus sions of the race question. But you can see that the letter In The World had Its Impression. It elicited the en closed editorial leader, which is os nearly fair as Northern papers ever get to Southern problems. I confess myself, with The Oregon ian, that the way by which the races are to be separated te not clear to me. But whether the negro shall go or stay, you are still face to face with an awful problem. However, the people of the South owe the editor of The Georgian a pro found debt of gratitude for the Influ ence that he has, by voice and pen, exerted on the Northern mind, respect' Ing the real situation In the South. My heartiest good wishes to The Georgian, which, In my- humble Judg ment, has no superior In the newspaper world—and few equals. It Is an Ideal newspaper. In depth and versatility of thought. In brendth and charity of vision. In profundity of philosophy and statesmanship and In eloquence, virility and beauty of expression. Sincerely yours. ROBERT MONTGOMERY. Puyallup, Washington State, Oct. 4. Dogs for Motor Care. From The London Stnndard. The cult of pet dogs has led In Paris to perhaps more erases and fads than anywhere else. I am told that for the moment, however, the attention of fad dists Is diverted from useless, if pretty, balls of puff to training larger dogs for motor cars The motor car dog Is trained to guard the car when the owner leaves it tem porarily by the roadside; but. Incident ally. It Is necessary to have a dog which takes kindly to high speeds, and also to the clothing which Is necessary to keep him warm In winter, and to the spectacle* for hls eye*. According lo The Figaro, the bnuledogue t* no good, because he hates motor cars, while the fox terrier Is bound to be too nervous. So far. the best dogs have proved to be the Scotch sheep dog, tho collie, and, above nil. _thc poodles, which, us soon as they see a car. ore said lo jump Into tbe sent and submit to the goatskin and the spectacles with every appear ance of pleasure. To the Editor of The Georgian: Amidst oil the discussions, reports, recommendations, demonstrations, commands and requests about thz re cent race riot In the new capital of the South, the most sensible thing I have bead or heard Is your editorial of the 24th, "For Information of the Outside World." Mayor Woodward's "Appeal for the Reign of the Law” came too late. Th* law had been broken. If the law had been reigning thorn Decatur street dives would have been closed before Saturday night. If the law had been reigning those eleven assaults would never have been committed or tempted. Our system of laws Is defective at some points. Where I do not know. And their execution Is entirely too slack, and Is fast becoming to be re garded as a farce. Why I do not know. The condemnation of the rioting and lawlessness by the citizens, and espe cially the ministers of Atlanta, was time and breath wasted. It did not help the situation. I <lo not believe In unjustly criti cism* anybody, and I most especially do not wleh to lay my hand or voice upon one of our ministers in a way to hurt or harm, but Dr. Jones struck a responsive chord In my heart In hi* talk upon why tbe ministry was fall ing off when he said: 'This age of commercialism had rather a minister would wobble in biff doctrine than hie te." class of citizens who cause and compose these riots need the gospel. There Is nothing else that will take ltd place. When our Master ws* upon this earth He mixed and mingled with and preached to the rabble; the outcasts were received by Him. I fear the church today Is drifting too close toward the Pharisaical Idea of the old Jewish church. It Is not the whole who need a physician, but the sick. When a man has lost hls reason for the moment and is guided only by th* Impulse of revenge, the cry to sup press, disperse, disarm, etc., falls upon deaf ears. There Is only one thing that can avail then, and that Is an opposing fores of more men and guns. The sympnthy tendered the innocent sufferers Is time ly, but does no more good than sym pathy at any other time. Whenever any wrong Is committed Innocent peo ple always suffer when the guilty are punished. But your article, referred to above, S 'vc* an explanation of the cause of Is riot (which can not lie Justified either legally or morally). It tells ex actly why and hotv It happened. It gives a remedy—separate the races. It appeals for help; will It be given us? ir so, we can separate peacefully and orderly. For the present, as well as the fu ture, let this be a warning not only to the negroes of Atlanta, but of the en tire South, that so long as we remain together white people are going to rule, and are going to remain their supe riors. Let It also be an Incentive to them to do everything In their power to prevent the crime which cause* riot ing. LEMUEL D. KINO. Covington, tin.. Sept. 2(, 1906. By CHOLLY KNICKERBOCKER. New York, Oct. II.—Another Intse, national marriage has gone wrong After a brief marital experience th* pretty love romance of Mr. and Mrs George A. Schrotor. of New York Greece and Mexico, has come to « end, and It was learned today that tho couple have parted. The wife hai taken apartments In the Manhattan, while the htisband has gone to Meg. Ico. Mrs. Schroter, before her marries* v.os the Countess De Lilly, of Athena Greece, granddaughter of General Coloo Dronls, leader in the Hellenic fight for Independence in 12H, an j sister of a present aide de camp te King George. Mr. Schroter la well known in mining circles. He la chief engineer for the Venture Mining Cor* poration of London, and the Strottoz Independence mine. He has large bus. Inefs Interests In Mexico. it waa In Mexico nearly a year ago that he inet the countess, who waa traveling. They fell In love and. aftez an arduous wooing, became engaged. They were married July 2 by Rev. Dr. George Nixon In the presence of many friends, and later there was annthei service ceremony In the Greek church In Manhattan. Strange things happen in New Jer sey. Rev. John L. Scudder, of Jersey City, was holding a temperance meet ing in Ills church, the First Congrcga- tlonal. Tho "demob rum" was getting all that was coming to him, when Randolph Deutl, a saloon keeper, ask ed for tho privilege of the floor, which was granted to him. Among other thlnga, Mr.'Deutl said: “The spirit of Intolerance hat brought no good to any cause, and no church should try to wipe out a legal ized buslnees. In Germany, where l was born, there Is no liquor question. “You cannot keep men from drink ing. Tbe thing to do Is to better tht conditions under which liquor Is sold. The church must teach men not to drink to excess.. The church must preach against th* treating habit, which la an evil one. "Saloon keepers should not sell to any man who is Intoxicated." There was a good deal more In the same vein. When Deutl sat down he was applauded vigorously, which Is not the least strange part of the pro ceeding. The wedding of Miss Elsie Marlon Farrell, of Anson la, Conn., worth $2,- 000,000 In her own right and heiress to 15,000,000, and George II. Goss, of Wa. terbury, has given aoclety folk some thing to talk about. About eighteen months ago, Miss Farrell broke an en gagement to marry David "Huylef Gaines, nephew of David Huyler, the New York candy man, because ho ducked her and her mother after shoot ing the chutee. - She also showed her independence several years ago by working os a stenographer for $15 a week. Oosa waa formerly a member of the Yale football team, and was a class mate of aafines. The latter waa se cretly married to Miss Florence Steu- ber. an Erie, Pa., heiress In New York, last June. Norfolk, Conn., la mourning the loss of the "village cut up.” He Is P- R. Haycock, who ha* come to New York as chauffeur for C. E. Bigelow. Hay cock, before leaving Norfolk, distrib uted this card among hls lady friends: P. R. Haycock. Cable address, "I Got a Feeling Por You." Hold- fog hand* a specialty, wholesale and retail dealer In love, kisses and up-to-date hugs. I hare no solicitors, persons claiming to be are fakirs. A trial Is all I ask. Sole proprietor of Lover’s Lane. Special attention to other people’s girls." Said one Norfolk girl today: "It Is Indeed to be regretted that tuch a man Is to leave Norfolk, but our loss will bo New York's gain." Former Alderman Thomas Cleary, the Equitable Life Assurance Society's 120,000-a-year janitor. Is dead at bis home In Bath Beach of Bright's dis ease. Clary represented the first as- sembly district In the board of aider- men and wa* a former chief of the volunteer lira department.
