Charity al Zero.

The chairman Of the Work-house Com
mittee of the City Council yesterday ad-
dressed a note to J. 4. Brown, Steward Of
the work-hOuse, saying that from and after
that date the committee would not approve
any bills for board Of charity occupants az
that institution, ''as the law makes no pro-
vision for such cases" This new order
was made by direction of the committee.
In ordering those in charge Of the work
house not to give food or shelter to suffer
ing men, women or children, no matter
how deserving they may be, on the credit
Of the city, the committee doubtless feel
that they are performing a duty and saving
the expenditure Of considerable money. In
both respects they are partially mistaken.
Their duty is not so imperative that they
cannot exercise some discretion, especially
at this particular time, in behalf Of suffer
ing humanity. Official duties hardly ever
become so memorable as that in any
civilized community. The applications at
the worz-house for food and lodging are
not very numerous, and scarcely ever made
by persons who can possibly do any better
to save themselves from the pangs Of hun
ger or the terrors of freezing. The appli-
cants are sometimes children, who are
abandoned by their parents or have nd
friend to whom they can apply for assist
ance-sometimes crippled or sick women
and men, entirely destitute and without
acquaintance in the city. In nearly every
such case, the unfortunate sufferer has no
other recourse, and is now even denied the
cheap and poor privilege Of a days subsis-
tence in the Work-house. Economy in the
expenditure Of the public money is COM
mendable, but rare instances do and will
occur, when there is danger Of becoming
excessively and Oppressively penurious.
There is a time for every thing; but this,
the severest weather we have had for years,
is not the time to turn these shiyering, star
wing waits of humanity away from the
doors of the work-hOuse, or Of any other
hnnaa-

Rl HER SISTER,S HAND.
Distressing Fate Of a West Tennessee
YouuE Lady.

Distressing Fate Of n West Tennessee
Young Lady.
A distressing accident occurred neal
Milan, West Tennessee, last Wednesday
afternoon, which caused the Untimely death
of Miss Mollie Jones, an accomplished
young lady Of that neighborhOOd. The
heart-rending affair was brought about IN
der the following circumstances:
For several weeks a small single barreled
cartridge pistol had been lying on the man
tlepiece in one of the rooms Of the house.
The deceased and her sister, young lady
near her Own age, knowing the pistol to
have been unlOaded, frequently picked it
up, handled it carelessly, and in a playful
way threatened to shoot each other. On
the evening of the day above men
toned, their brother had intended
leaving home, and in the morning loaded
the pistol and left it lying on the mantle,
so as not to forget it when he went away.
The young ladies came in the apartment
after dinner, and one of them took up the
weapon and remarked that she was going
to shoot her sister. Pointing the pistol at
her, she pulled the trigger, and to her hOr-
TOR, discharge followed, the ball entering
the forehead Of her sister, who fell to the
floor and expired soon afterWard. The Oc-
cunence has cast a gloom over the house
hold, and the young lady who thus inno-
Gently took the life Of a sister, to whom
she was devoted, has given way TO the
most violent grief. The victim Of this
fatal mishap belonged TO a highly respect
able family, and her loss will be deeply re-
GREETED bv the whole community.

very sweetest drop in all the rich cup Of
salvation.
As a member Of our beloved association,
Iprotest, most earnestly, against abandon
ing the whitening fields Of our own har-
vest, just as we are fairly beginningto reap.
l have nothing TO say in dispsragement Of
foreign missions. May 'lOd bless the faith
Of the sewers, and cause the seed to germi-
nate that has been sOWn in so much pa
thence and fond persistent hope. But 1
must confess my attention and my heart
are drawn more directly t0Fard
the walls Of helpless misery and re-
pentant sin around Us at our
own doors. Oh, let US continue the GOOD
work we have 50 well begun. Let US elect
another Bible-wOman, If tie place can be
better supplied; but let US proceed lawfully
and right in the matter, and then most
eheerfully will hide myself in the shadow
Of my successor. We could we'll employ
quite q number Of Bible-women, III we
could command the means. The contribu-
tiOns were made and promised 10 this sOcie-
ty under the assurance that part, at least,
should be expended in the home work.
1t seems to be the impression Of some
that our organization is a branch of the
tAClA1 AhAooloAAa4l IlElcLN OF the NJ IL
Church, South. My understanding that's,
we have no connection with that Society
whatever. Having organized ourselves into
an independent and distinct society, our
adoption by any other, would require a spe-
eific action on the part Of such other bodies.
but no such action has been taken by the
Parent Society. They do not recognize US
at all. Furthermore, the money we appro-
pirate to foreign missions, is simply
reported as such part Of the assessment
levied upon the church; having Just that
much less 10 be collected by the church Of
icials, 10 what we do in this way wonld be
done as well If we were not in existence.
We really add nothing to the foreign mis-
sion work, save to assist in collecting the
assessment; and so it turns out that ours
must be home mission in the main, or no
mission at all. In view Of these things,
then, l entTeat, let us not suspend opera
ton in the very direction whence alone we
may look with confidence for recognition
and success
Respectfully submitted,

AFrIgId "Reminiscences.

The thermometer at this point was yes
terday down to zero, as will be seen by re-
ference to the report Of the Signal Service
Observer, published this mOrning-the
coolest weather experienced in Nashville
since the memorable winter of 1928,
when the Cumberland was thickly and
compactly frozen over. Wagons could
then cross the river on the ice. This was
during the well remembered whisky
blockade in the city, and some festive
spirits about Bread street and the wharf
erected a tent in the middle OF the river,
had plenty of whisky at retail, and were re-
called with frequent salutes from Jolly
Coles cannon, taken into the middle Of the
river for that special purpose.
