A DIsGRAoED FAMILY AND WRECKED
AND RUINED LIFE.

/ AND RUINED LIFE.
Apropos of the recent murdrr OF
j Joe Glenn in ST. Louis by Albert
Wing, the Owensboro Messenger
says f a i
Miriam Eaves, for none other is
the woman called Essie Davis, is the
daughter of Judge Charles Eaves,
of Greenville, one of the best known
lawyers of the Green river country
She is probably the most notorious
woman ever known in Western
Kentucky. When but a child her
striking beauty was the occasion of
much comment wherever she was
seen. In addition to her beauty
she was bright and winsome in her
ways, and was the idol of her IA
theirs heart and the pet of the COM
munity. She was possessed of a
voice of rare power, which with her
many other charms made her the
center of attraction in Greenville
society and wherever she visited.
But long before she reached matnri-
ty she developed fast qualities that
led to her ruin. Before she was
sixteen years old-in June, 1880
she ran away with a young printer,
Edward Reno, mere lad, the son
j. Ii. Reno, the former Revenue
Collector, and they were married
Returning, their parents forgave
them, the boy returned to his work
determined to live respectable,
thoug gh illicit relations had existed
between them before their marriage
But she discouraged him In his
efforts to make a livelihood by her
frivolous ways and fiirtations with
other men, and he took to drink,
loosing his position in the sprinting
office in Greenville, and sank in
months to the lowest depths of deg
radiation. A child was born unto
them, but it received no attention
or affection from it's mother When
the infant was in its swaddling
clothes its parents deserted it, going
off to Evansville. Judge Eaves
followed them and took them home
This conduct was repeated at least
five times by Miriam. Sometimes
she went to st. Louis, and once to
Memphis, entering the lowest dens
of prostitution. Repeatedly has her
father followed her and persuaded
or forced her to return with him.
But of late he has given up all hope
of reforming her, and her eomings
and goings have been voluntary,
but she has never been refused
shelter under his roof. A few months
ago she gave birth to another child,
which is also cared for by her par
ents. Her husband either abandon
ed or was abandoned by her, and
nothing is known ofhis whereabouts.
To those who knew her a few years
ago-she is yet very young-as a
beautiful, innocent child, it seems
incredible that she has become such
a vicious, depraved creature. No
one receives more sympathy in the
whole affair than old Judge Eaves,
whose heart was wraYyed up in his
child. His two sons, bright, intelli
gent young men, left home about
year ago, unable to stand the family
disgrace. a $50

There can be no success in life
without first learning the value of
the golden hours and the necessity
of perseverance. 1t has been truly
said that procrastination is the
thief of time and lethargy the mil
dew of life, The young man who
understands the value of time,
tenacity and doggedness of purpose
is sure to win in the great battle of
life. These are the first prerequisites
to success. The latess Sir Sterling
Maxwell, of England placed prop
er estimate upon the value of time.

construction and those of his noble
ancestors were grand and beautiful.

AN ANONYMOUS LETTER.

a day or two ago widow living on
Sixteenth Street called the policeman

ed him that she had very serious case
on hand. Some one had written her an
anonymous letter, and she wanted the
officer TO trace out the guilty party il it
took him until January, 1899.
"What was in the letter." he asked

"Perhaps you don't, sir, she coldly
replied, "but | will read further. He

"Wcll, that's all right" said the Off
Ger, "unless he lets the image bother

He is evidently mashed"

that letter."
"Old coon -
ayes, an old Goldfish down here who
has had three wives and seventeen chill

"Sir how dare you imagine that he
would write TO me ?"
"And I'll see that he is arrested"
"No, you won't! warn you not to
interfere in this case in any manner"

lowed a lump in her throat. "You don't
seem-that is you appear-that is, good
day, sir1"
Sand what she wanted Of me-" said
the officer as he went back TO his beat,
"was to assure her that some one really

THE CoURr's MIsTAEE.--Judge Davis
used to tell some admirable stories of
an old Illinois judge, one of which We
chance particularly to remember. One
Of the judges was rather remarkable for
conveying to jurors in his charges TO
them his own opinions with regard to
the merits OF the case. In one case he
had done so with great plainness, but to
his amazcment the jury hung out for
hours without coming to an agreement.
The Judge inquired Of the baililf what
was the matter, and learned from him
that one juror was hanging ont against
the other eleven. He sent for the jury
at once, and, stating to the jurors that
he had plainly intimated how the case
ought to be decided, said he understood
that one juror was standing out against
the other eleven. He proceeded TO
rebuke the juror sharply. The obstinate
Juror was a nervous little man, and, rs
soon as the judge was done, he rose up
and said:
Judge, may ! saw word ?"
"Yes, sir" said ,heindignant judge.
"What have you to say?"
"Wcll, what | wanted TO say is, I'm
the only fellcr that's on your side"
