A MAN SUBDUER The prevalent
toy of the Long Branch girl is a
scent bottle. 1t is an inch thick, and
from six to eight inches long. The
material is glass, deliberately cut, and
some are trimmed with gold or silver
1t gives its possessor something to
do with her hands, and in that way
serves the purpose of cane or a
crush hat in the grip of a dandy
She carries it with her at the dinner
table, in the surf bath, in the ball
room, and we have no reason to sup
pose that she doesn't take it to bed
with her. She firts with it as with
fan; she shifts daintily at its uu-
screwed top, to give an impression
of extreme sensibility and fragilty.
She poses with it like the fairy queen
of a burlesque with a wand; and she
could, on occasion, use it as club
to brain him who would do her
harm. Altogether, we think it is
more man-subduing in the hands
of the frivolous belle than a cane or
cue held by the stalwart Georgia
wonder, and a great deal more mag
Letic.

Atlanta Constitution.

Three weeks ago yesterday two
brutal crimes against women were
committed, the one in Early county
and the other in Terrell county. In
the former case the alleged criminal,
a negro, was caught ana Immediately
hung to the nearest tree; in the latter
case a different course was pursued,
although the crime was as fend;sh in
the one case as in the other. In Ter
rell county Judge John Z. Clarke
caused a special session OF the supe-
rior court to be held, and the prison.
er, negro, was duly brought to trial.
He was indicted in due from, and
two of the best lawyers in the circuit
were assigned to him as counsel.
The case was tried, and he is to be
h lnged during the present month
The crime was established and
brought home to the prisoner, and
he will suffer the penalty on the day
set. We hazard nothing in saying
that the Terrell county case will have
a far greater influence in preventing
similar crimes than the hot hanging
in Early county. The brief delay of
the law, together with the certain
ty Of dread punishment, will prove
UNNECESSARILY more impressive and
salutary. Judge Clark has shown
that the law is ample and equal to
any crime if properly and promptly
administered. In an old state like
Georgia, there is no reason forresort-
ing to Judge Lynch's primitive code,
We have judges, however, who should
be remined Of their duty in pressing
emergencies.
