Red Tape.

Queen Victoria allows none of her
children to see her without special
permission, and it takes as much red
tape for one of the children to get an
audience with her as it does for to-
tai stranger. We don't see how she
can raise a family that way. What
would boy do if he had a stone
bruise on his heel and wanted to go
to his ma? Or suppose one of the
princes should eat green apples and
get the colo, he wouldn't want to sit
down on the doorstep with his depart
ment of the interior tied up in a dou-
bic bow-knot, waiting to get an audi
ence with his mother to get some
peppermint sling. There are times
when boy wants to see his ma real
quick whether she is a queen or nine
spot, and to stand him of for any red
tape is dangerous. Suppose one of
her girls goes out TO an ice cream sa-
loon with a fellow, and he proposes
to her, and is going night away on a
train, and wants an answer nght of.
If the girl has to wait until her turn
comes to see her ma she Is liable to
lose her chance Of getting maTned.
A mother should lie ready az al times
to see her children.-Porks SuH.

The RaDid Growth of Atlanta.

Atlanta Georgia is now reaping
rich harvest from her great exposition
Since it closed there has been con-
tinuous flow of people and capital to
the city, and real estate is in great de-
mand for mercantile and manufacture
ing purposes. The great exposition
building is owned by strong compa-
nv who have it half filled with ma
chinery in operation. The aggregate
capital invested since the exposition,
in manufacturing enterprises is about
$1,5OO,0O0, employing not less than
$500 operatives, and paying annual
wages approximating 100000. A
grain elevator and another cotton
compress have been built; the Fulton
Cotton Spinning Co. have completed
and nearly filled their capacious build
ing with machinery, and have opera
ted it for six months with such sue
cess that they will double the capacity
in the spring; and vast capital has
peen invested in ground, buildings
and machinery for the manufacture
of fertilizers and oleomargarine, ana
sulphuric acid from the iron pynteS
that are scattered all over upper
Georgia. On a single tract, three
miles from the city, there are new
chemical fertilizer, cotton-seed oil ana
copper reduction works, representa- lis
a total capital of 100000. While
Atlanta has gained the greater par
of the new-blood, that entire SectloI
of the State has felt the stimulus u
the memorable exposition.

Why He Married the Bachelor.

ceremonies at the same time.

not?"
"Oh, yes" replied his wife; she
lost his first wife six months ago."
"And Mr.. B, is a bachelor?"
"Yes."
"That settles it, then. 1 shall
marry Mr.. B. When a man marries
the second time he never pays the
minister any more than the law allows,
but the young bachelors are some
times very foolish" and the good
man rubbed his hands mildly.

A DISPATCH from Sunderland, Eng.
land, says; The number Of deaths
from the catastrophe at Victoria Hall
has now reached 202. The funeral
ceremonies over the victims were very
impressive. The streets were crowded
with sympathetic people, most of whom
were in mourning. The blinds of the
houses were drawn and the church
in which the funeral services were held
had black flag at half-mast. One
hundred free graves were prepared in
one cemetary for the reception of the
victims, exclusive of those for which
the parents of children who lost their
lives will pay.
The ocean cable brings the particu
lars of most horrible accident, by
which nearly 200 innocent children lost
their lives, at Sunderland, England.
After the conclusion of conjuror's
exhibition in Victoria Hall, and when
the lower part of the hall had been
cleared, a panic seized about 1900
children descending from the gallery.
At landing where there was door
through which only one person could
pass at time, a crush occurred, and,
child falling, others fell upon it, those
behind tramping madly upon them.
Before order could be restored, 1856,
ranging from 4 to IA years of age, had
been trampled to death. Upon the
facts becoming known in the city, a
crowd of 10000 people assembled about
the hall, SO wildly excited that it was
necessary to call out regiment of
troops to restrain them.

A FOrsaken Family.

THE STRAIT TO WHICH A DRUNKES
HUSBAND HAS BROUGHT HIS WIFE
AND CHILDREN.
Down at Benwood there lives a
poor woman with three helpless
children who, if she has not been
cruelty deserted by her husband,
has at least been reduced by his
Willfull neglect and outrageous
conduct to sad condition of pity
and sorrow. The woman's hus-
bend, whose name is Fennell, was
employed as heater in
the. Benwood rolling mill, where he
worked for some time with as fair
a chance to lay by his earnings
and decently support his family as
any other man in the esta blish-
ment. Later he went to Mingo,
where he remained some time,
when he suddenly changed his
mind and sought employment in
the Bdlaire mill. Upon securing
his pay, instead of applying it, or
at least part of it, to supplying the
necessities of his own home, Fen
nell squandered his earnings for
liquor, so it is alleged, and left the
woman and her children to provide
for themselves the best they could.
This, of course, they found consid-
cradle difficulty in doing, and, it is
confidently averred, the unfortu-
nate ones were soon brought face to
face with the grim monster, Want.

Do you know where your boys

You are very busy. attending to

to neglect some part of your do

Those men and boys you see there
from day to day, and especially on
Sunday, constitute the worst ele-
ment in your community. They
are near that saloon because they
are in hopes somebody will come
along with little money and will
invite thean to drink, and your
boys will go in with the crowd and
drink, too. They don't know any
better, for you have always been too
busy to teach them the dams ger of
drinking liquor. And the nnfu-
ence of their street education has
led them to believe that to smoke
and chew tobacco, swear and deal
IN obscene language, and drink
whisky is really manly. Andthey
are learning to play cards, just for
fun, Of course, but they are becom-
ing very expert and will soon be
able to make money. You think
that your boys are too good to be
corrupted, and your confidence has
ded to your Indifference, and after
awhile it will lead to the final and
eternal ruin Of those boys, and to
:0ltter, bitter sorrow and regret on
your part, when too late to save
them.
