Reform ut Atlanta.

ATLANTA, Aug,1 For the last few
weeks quiet movements have been il
progress for reform in this city govern
ment OF Atlanta. Several years age
the liquor interest of the city combined
for the purpose of influencing loca
legislation. IL soon grew 10 powerful
that without the endorsement of the
Liquor Dealers Association 1t was i'm.
possible to reach any place in the
city government. In the last election
q test was made in the aldermanic
race, in which Mr. Stockdell was cleo.
ted. Stockdell was President of the
Atlanta club, in whose elegant rooms
forbidden pleasures could be safely en-
joyed.
The bar-room attachment was Wig
orously attacked. This drew to Stock
dell's support the entire liquor interest,
who pursued bold canvass. 1t was
deci ded, however, to be- impolitic to
inje ct reform movement in such a
bitter canvass, and it was resolved to
organize for the next election.
At a meeting of com Iz:,ttee Of prom
nent citizens, irrespective of party
politics, it was decided to nominate a
full ticket pledged to moral reform
and also opposition to the whisky ele-
ment.
Mr.. Hempbell, business manager of
the Constitution, was rendered the
Mayoralty nomination, but on his de-
Ginning it was accepted by Judge Geo.
Hitler, who, at a great sacrifice to his
profession, agrees to make the race. If
this movement is successful, as now APP
pears probable, the next effort Will b.
TO apply local option to Atlanta, as /,
now exists in eighty.hve counties O
Georgia.

these disclosure, he says. have caused
him more mental anguish than all the
Experiences from which he suffered in
the North. He says that, IL there was
any canDibalism practiced, il was done
in secrecy without his knowledge, and
contrary to his discipline. He further
says that since the disclosures every
man Of the surviving party has come
to him and assured him that he was
innocent Of the deed.
Coroner Robinson, of Long Island
City, New York, has received telegram
from the sister Of Private Henry, OF
the Greedy party, saying that she de
sires that the full facts shall be known,
and authorized him TO have the body
exhurned and examined as soon as pos.
sible
The mother and wife Of the late
William A. Ellis, Of the Greedy Expe-
dition, who resides in Clyde, New York,
have decided not to have the remains
exhumed. Several citizens, fearing
that Ellis body might be quietly ex-
humed, men have engaged to guard the
grave at night.

By Ella Farman. The Young Folks
Library. Illustrated. Boston d.
Lathrop x Co. Price % cents. This
fascinating story, one of the best from
the authors practiced pen, will and a
multitude of earnest and appreciative
readers. 1t draws sharp contrast be-
tween genuine, practical religion and
its fashionable substitute, and shows
the hollowness Of a life not based upon
sound principle. The character of Lois
Gladstone is clearly and effectively
drawn, and the story of her experiences
in the Hurd household, with the changes
brought about ia it through her quiet
but persistent influence, Ia told with
skill and feeling. There is hardly a
page without its suggestive passage, and
we know of few books which contain
80 much that is really helpful to young
girls placed in positions where se1f-con-
troll, moral courage and self-sacrifice
are required.

BALTIMORE, Aug. 17.-An outbreak
occurred Saturday on the line Of the
New York, Philadelphia and Norfolk
Railroad, in Accomac County, on the
Eastern shore Of Virginia. There had
been considerable opposition to the con.
struction of the line, and many Of the
people were angry on account of what
they considered nfair allowances for
their property, through which the road
runs. On SATURDAY. construction en-.
CINE struck and killed several cattle
belonging TO one of the farmers. This
caused great Indignation, and a gang
of farmers tore up several lengths OF
track near Temperaneeville.
The next time the construction train
came along it ran into the break and
was hurled down deep cut. 1t was q
complete wreck, and the fireman and
engineer were so badly injured thai
their recovery is improbable.

HOW TO PRESERVE.

MANY people find when
they open jars Of fruit n tn
winter that, owing to defec
tive sealing at the time Of
canning, the fruit which they
expected to find as fresh and
sweet as when first taken
from the trees, has become
mouldy and sour.
This could have been pre-.
vented, had they used good,

of sealing wax, which would
not dry full OF air bubbles.
