ATLANTA, MARCH s.-The Stephens me-

numbers of people continued to arrive
during the day, until fully $4,000
visitors were in the city. Such crowds were
never seen in Atlanta before. All the
streets were packed and, with the
population OF Atlanta, that turned out, there
must have been over $4,000 persons ON the
streets. The memorial services opened with
prayer by Rev. William Adams, OF Augusta.
General Gordon read a series OF eulogistic
resolutions. Speeches were made by Martin

monopo,,z,ne Gas as wen as ON.

New YORK, March s.-The Standard Oil
capitalists, who some time ago bought the
Fulton Municipal Gas Company and the
Prospect Gas Company of Brooklyn, and
compelled the Citizens Gas Company to
shut down its works and buy gas for Its
district at wholesale prices from the Fulton
Municipal Company, have now it is alleged,
purchased the control of the Williamsburg
Gas Company. This company has been the
objective point of the capitalists for some
time and they threatened to carry
mains into its district, but, instead,
the stock has been purchased piece
meal until controlling interest is said
TO have been obtained. 1t is expected that
the works of the Williamsburg Gas
Company will be so altered as to admit
of the manufacture In them of the napths
water gas which is being furnished in South
Brooklyn. The Standard Oil Co. control the
naphtha trade and the profit on gas manu-
factured from that material is very large
1t is thought 10 be only a question Of tim,
before all the gas companies of the city will
be paying tribute to the great monopolists

A MATTER OF HEIGHT.
Showing What a Poor Idea the Majority
of People Have of Measurements.

OF People Have of Measurements.
While party of ladies and gentlemen in
this city were recently conversing about the
Ohio floods, one of the young men tried to
explain to the ladies to what height the water
had risen, by taking as an illustration the
Brandywine. He said thatif the water In
that creek should rise four feet above the
bottom of the bridge which spans 1t at Mar
ket street 1t would be the same depth as the
0hia had been.
This gave rise to considerable speculation
as to the height of the bridge above
the water. One gentleman contended that
the bottom of the bridge was not more than
10, or, at the most, 45 feet above the water.
A young merchant, who had said nothing
up to this time, then offered TO bet cent
that the bottom of the bridge was not more
than 25 feet above the water. This caused
considerable amusement from the rest
by the company, all eontending that it was
twice that distance. To satisfy himself the
merchant proceeded to the bridge yesterday
morning with plumb and, like an angler,
he dropped his line aud proceeded with his
measurements. The distance was found to
be just "a feet and three inches from the
bottom of the bridge to the water, the tide
being then little more than half in.

FLEETING POWER.
How the Riches and Position of a senator
Took Unto Themselves Wings.

How the Riches and Position of a senator
Took Unto Themselves Wings.
A Washington correspondent writes: Amid
the babble and tumult of the closing scenes
in the two houses of Congress q thoughtful
person might have been moved with many
serious reflections. Any one given to sentl-
ment could have found food for melting
thoughts in the contemplation of Senator
Ferry's vacant chair Sunday morning. Two
months ago he was regarded as very fortu-
nate man. He was supposed to be fixture
in the Senate, his re-eleeiion being looked
upon as certainty, and his wealth was es-
timated at over a million. Two or three
weeks later 1t became evident he would have
trouble in securing q reelection, and q few
days afterwards came the announcement
that his riches had taken wings. Aceum-
ulated misIortunes prostrated him,
and ON Sunday, while the last
act of the Forty-seyenth Congress was being
played, he was lying on bed of pain a few
blocks distant, physical as we'll as finan.
cial wreck His absence from the Senate OF
which he had been an honored member Tor
10 years, was scarcely noticed. He was not
missed + ON his scat bY half tiD1rn of
his old rs sociates, He had not beea tn the
chamber for weeks, and was well ngh for
gotten. Sunday evening after the adjourn
ment he left Washington, n,accompaniedtby his
sister and one or two devoted friends, per-
haps never TO return TO the scene of all his
former greatness How different his worldly
aspect from that proud occasion when at the
head of his iellow-Senators, as the presiding
officer of that body and the aeting Vice
President, he marched into the Joint session
of the two houses to preside over the pro.
eeedlngs of the electoral count aud ailix his
signature to the record which made R. kR

Kissing Babies.

A correspondent Of the New York
World protests violently against the prac-
tlce of kissing small children, 50 freely
INDUCED in by some persons, and de-
clares that it is "perfectly horrible to
contemplated This is well enough SO
far as it goes, but what men would hail
with extravaganza delight would be a
campaign against the hideous practice
OF holding up babies to be kissed. If
there is any object on top of Gods green
earth utterly unkissable and generally
repugnant to q TAI Of healthy senti-
ment, it is somebody else's baby. INDIE
cisive men have been known to yield to
the solicitations Of fond mothers and
actually submit to the indignity of hav-
ing a new baby thrust under t~heirnoses,
but these men have always repented
and usually gone on sprees just to reas-
sert their independence and recover
their self-respect. Men who would walk
up to a boomshell and spit or the sput-
tering fuse will quail and cover in
terror before the muZZle of a baby, even
when assured that it was not loaded.
Some men don't mind having babies
pointed at them, but these are the sort
of men who blow down ~gun-barrels and
monkey with buzz-saws and do most
any foolish thing. 1t is a ~well-known
fact that a man who will voluntarily
and knowingly kiss a baby is generally
addicted to chenille and worsted work
and gossip, and there is a well-grounded
suspicion that he will steal a sheep. This
baby kissing tends to make hypocrites of
good natured men, and there ought to
be a crusade against the perpetrators of
babies, frequently abetted by the proud
instigators Of these inchoate, bowling
~contrivances, of recklessly pointing
them at folks.
