King will shortly visit Barcelona, Sara

will review the garrisons of those places.
A Colonel and ninety unarmed men have

1t is supposed that they are fugitiyes

CAIRO, GA, August 11.-Yesterdav was
a gala day for the Masonic fraternity of
this place. The w. NJ. of Caro- Lodge.
Captain j. j. Higdon, is a member of the
committee appointed by the Grand Lodge
for the purpose of making uniform the
work of the different lodges in the State,
and one of the objects Of the meeting YES
terday was to demonstrate the work in
the three initial degrees of masonry. The
officers of all neighboring lodges were in
Yited to be present to witness the work
and share in the festivities of the occa-
sion. Several prominent MasOns were
present. 1t is refreshing to receive the
hearty shake of brothers hand when he
is brother indeed. Such we met here.
The day was well spent, but not the
least pleasant part of the programme
was the banquet at night. At O'Clock
all repaired to the hotel. There we found
an abundant table spread, and beautiful
ladies (wives and daughters of MasOns J
to grace the occasion. Mr.. Editor. it is
said that the ''knights of the penv hold
the palm as the biggest eaters in America.
but, judging by what / saw last night.
they would hardly have held their own.
Mr.. Nj. j. SwiccOrd added to his repu-
tation as a hotel keeper by the excellent
manner in which he prepared and served
the banquet. The ladies of Cairo deserve
especial credit for the interest they took in
it and in the meeting The banquet
being over, several gentlemen We're called
for and responded in short but well con-
ceived and appropriate speeches. Alto
getber 1t was an occasion that will not
be soon forgotten by those who partici-
pated i'll it. Cairo Lodge numbers about
seventy members, and is among the best
officered and best working lodges IN
South Georgia.
Cotton is opening and picking has be-
gun, though no new cotton has been re-
ceived here. Caterpillars are making
their appearance in a few places, but it is
too late for them to do much damage.
Notwithstanding the drought, crops,
taken as whole, are good in this section,
and l believe there will be an average
crop. But how often do you see an dDer-
age crop! / never saw one dbOUe the
average, and in nine cases out of ten
they always fall 6eIOlc it. Unless the
ordinary farmer has an extraordinarily
good crop he is always complaining of
poor crops.
Base ball helps to enliven the hot season
here. Cairo claims to have a "crack
nine." They have already scored several
victories this season. They expect to
meet the ThOmasville club and also the
Monticello Fla. club next week.

The First Baby in Ludlow Street Jail.


The birth of a girl baby in Ludlow street
Jail, the first child ever born within the
walls of the grim and ill-kept structure.
recalls that pathetic chapter in one of
Dickens strongest novels which tells the
story Of the birth of Amy DOrrit IN the
Marshalsea. From what we have learned
of the interior of Ludlow street iail and
the life of its inmates, from the published
statements of prisoners and reports of in
yestigating committees, we may almost
imagine that the incidents preceding the
first appearance in this dismal and wicked
world of the Child of the Marshalsea
were reproduced in the New York Jail
yesterday. The sympathy of the jailers
was surely not wanting, and the fellow
prisoners OF the happy COR atfiicted) pa
rents were perhaps as etficiOus in their
desire to do something useful, as they
We're certainly as dirty and unkempt as
tne poor debtors in the Marshalsea. 1t is
likely, howeYer-as the inhabitants of the
Ludlow street Jail in this enlightened era

many varieties of human nature as an
English debtors prison sixty or seventy
years agO-that no outside aid was nee

and shabby as all the other prisoners
and called for the occasion from
the billiards and rum of the ''snuggery,
whence he bore with him pungent odor
of stale alcohol and tobacco to poison the
air which the infant breathed. Unlike
Little DOrritt. the COlettO body is not
destined to grow up TO wOmanhOOd- behind
the wall of a Jail. Her parents are not
debtors. but are accused of OfcOunterfeiting;
they will soon be removed for trial, and
if convicted, the penalty of their crime
will not be shared by the infant, although
its consequences have already fallen so
heavily upon her. 1t is no crime to be
born in jail, but il is a terrible affiictiOn.

ST. LOUIS ON THE SABBATH.
Cases Against Two Editors Continued
and Street Cars Allowed to Run.

Cases Against Two Editors Continued
and Street Cars Allowed to Run.
ST. LOUIS, August 13.-The confidence
of the saloon-keepers in their fight against
the Sunday law does not seem to be as
well grounded as the more active of them
supposed. The number of new violations
of the law reported by the police to-day
was comparatively few. The first news
paper cases against Carl Darenser, editor
of LdRzeiger DeS VeSteas, and Emil POr-
terms, editor of Die IVeStliche Post, were
called in the Court of Criminal Correction
this morning. Although both editors
had given bonds they were not present.
Neither were they represented by counsel.
The court gave the defendants the benefit
of the doubt, and instead of forfeitures of
their bonds, continued the cases till
September 4. This afternoon Judge Moo
nan decided that the State must prove
that street cars are not a necessity in or
der to convict the officers of the cOmpa-
nies who are on trial for violating the law
for running ears on Sunday. All cases
instituted against street road companies
under the Sunday law will therefore be
dismissed,
