A Sad Life Ending. |.
Atlanta ( constitution. '

Mrs. w. |. airohild, once a beautiful and accomplished lady of Savannah, dsed miserable death in one of Atiants's haunts of sin Sunday morning. The story which attaches itself to this woman is peculiarly sad. Three years ago she was happy wife in cosy home in Sa- vannah. Her husband. a young, hand some educated man, had a lucrative and responsible position with the Central rail- road in that eity and possessed the re- spect and esteem oi all who knew him. About Christmas of 1881 while on a drunken spree he shot a young man who subsequently died. fairchild was ar rested, placed in Jail and uied. The case against him was stubborn one and lt required his home and everything else he could accumulate 10 save his neck His wife gave everything chcerfully, and her grief, which wa manifested during the trial, had gTea, influence with the judge and jury. The Iial resulted in a sentence oi five years instead Of the death penalty. The parting between the hus. band and wife when he was taken to the peni,en,iary was deeply affecting.
 She took downwa ard road, however = took to dri.k, and in a few weeks was a confirmed drunkard. This step was fol. lowed by others until she found herseli two years ago utterly disgraoed. She came to Atlanta and sank to the loves, depths of infamy.
 Sunday morning last she died very suddenly, without having been sick a moment. Her husband vas al l.owe's camp on the chatahoochie river and when Mir. Lowe heard of the death oi the convics's wife he caused two guard, to bring him to the city. The man kne~ nothing of the downfall of his wife until be found her dead in house of sin. His grief was painful to witness, and as hs stood bes,de the coffin he ssved like { madman- The kindnns of the lessee, for whom he vas working enabled hir to send the body to Savannah for burial He has two children living in tha, city but is will be three years before Fairchild cSh go home to them

 Perhaps Jane Merryweasher did nos wonder at this so much as her worthy aurt, ba, she said nothing. Dropping her head back into her cushions she closed her eyes. and luxursously suffered her thoughts to travel back so the short space ci seek ago. ~hen everything had been so different.

A hay sunshine was shining on the bud ding undesgrowth, and an almond tree, ablsse with blossom, blashed against the misty eopse of birch and oak. A birds wing, as II flashed past her, caught the pale golden glow, while again the deli e,ous trembling note ot a skylark reached her from some unseen place.

Yet tired as she was, Jane Merryweather felt restless in her chair, and told herself that such evenings were no longer possi- ble. The very click of Miss McLach- lan's needle vas irritating.

 "Yes-has he P said Jane Merryweath- CT, vaguely, looking into the fire. She had nov no possible interest in the squire's movements, and would have pre- tened not have had the name of Brock mentioned in her hearing again.
 But, as through a combination of pride and 3hypess she had mentined nothing oi fhe interview with the squire, and hel aunt in consequence knew nothing ol what had occurred, she could give nc possible reason for avoiding the subjee; cf such legitimate gossip.

TINE OCEAN CABLE.

The Report of the Special Com
mittee on the above subject is given
elsewhere in to-day's issue, The
Committee also introduced bill
which empowers the Government to
negotiate with parties laying cable,
and to grant subsidy of S20,O 900 a
year for fifteen years. This is in
addition to the law which already
exists. and which gives to any cable
company large privileges in the way
of exemption from port charges
and duties on material. We hope
that everything may be done on the
part of the Government, consistent
with the welfare of the country, to
facilitate the proposed cable. The
Importance of telegraphic commu-
nication with the outside world can
not be overestimated, but the sum
proposed seems to be as high as the
present resources of the Kingdom
will warrnt, and to be as much as
we should be asked to constitute.

THE BOARD OF HEALTH.

By the appointments made this
morning, the Board of Health, for
the first time in many months, is
legal body. Heretofore it has been
running as private machine, the
property of w. M. Gibson. But
the Board as now constituted, is not
one calculated to benefit the public.
Three of the five members are Cabi-
net Ministers. If the intention had
been to make the Board of Health a
Cabinet side show, the law would
have said so. The intention was to
have one Cabinet Minister
to represent the Govern
ment, and the balance to be intelli-
gent outsiders. Instead of this, we
see majority of the Board con-
sisting of Cabinet Ministers. The
management of the Health Depart
ment had better be made part of
the Cabinet duties at once and be
done with the matter.

stables on economical grounds. 1t
was n matter of propriety-of de-
cency-to argue for the appropria-
ton on those grounds. There was
no economy, however, in $4,000
for horse stables. The Kings com
mcndGtion of the Ministers for pre-
senting estimates within the revenue
was due to the Ministers. having
cheated His Majesty in representing
to him that proposed expenditures
were within the revenue OF the King
dom. When the truth came out
that they had kept back S1,5OO,OOO
from the estimates of expenditure,
the King sent down message ask
ing for retrenchment The Opposi-
ton was in accord with His Majesty
in this respect, and he (the speaker)
called upon the Opposition to carry
out the Kings wishes. There was
no plea of emergency or Of crisis
available for this appropriation. The
King did not say to them, "Reduce
my salary and give me $4,000 for
stables" nor did he mean it.

NEW A APPOINTMENTS.

New appointments are falling right
and left, and this morning Paul
Neumann and Curtis p. laukea have
taken seats on the Board of Health.
One of the cheapest known methods
of getting board, at the present time,
is to vote the Ministerial ticket. We
have no doubt that Mr.. Neumann's
Health needs recruiting, owing to
the increasing labors of his office,
and this new position is delicate
way of giving him needed rest, as
nobody who is on board with head

to do. All that is expected Of them

THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION AND
the ISLANDS,

The prime diff erence between the
Democratic and the Republic Party
has come to be the fact that one is
out and the other is in. The bulk
of the politicians on both sides are
INSCRIPTIONS, and ever ready to
trade and dicker with the other side
for their own personal benefit.
The Republican party in the North
and West, is the party of intelligence
and respectability while the great
unwashed, the rag tag and bobtail,
the shoulder hitters and the gin mill
keepers constitute the rank and file
of the Northern Democracy. In
the South this order of things is
reversed, and the Democracy repre-
sents the brains and wealth of that
section. The election of neither of
the present candidates is vital to the
future prosperity of the country, and
involves no immediate and radical
change of policy on the part of the
United States Government But so
far ~ the immediate interests of
these islam DIS are concerned, the
election of Blaine would be greatly
in our favor. In the first place,
because the Republican party in
greater measure than the Demo-
cratic, represents protection. AL
though the Democratic party is not
by any means a free trade party, as
whole, nearly all the free trade
advocates are Democrats, and the
tendency of the party is in that
direction. One Of the principal
articles which the free trader wants
the duties taken off from, is sugar.
Persistent and vigorous attempts are
being made at every session of Con-
gres to reduce the sugar duty; and
the success of such attempts would
mean the destruction of our sugar
interests, by allowing other sugar
countries to sell their sugars in the
United States under the privileges
that we now exclusively enjoy by
virtue of the Reciprocity Treaty.
Blaine is strong protectionist,
and with the Republican party still
in power, the reduction of the sugar
duty will probably be defeated for
some time to come.
Another reason why the election
of Blaine would be favorable to
these islands is, that he is strong
friend of the Treaty, and has a more
thorough knowledge of our position
and situation than almost any other
American Statesman. His dispatches
to the American Minister Resident,
when he was Secretary of State,
evince much knowledge of the sub
ject under consideration, and firm
determination to maintain American
interests here. They are in Il tone
which could not fail to be beneficial
in the present disorganized loose end
system of Government now existing
here.

TlHE LEGISLATURE

WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 13. Continued.
At quarter to three, the Presi-
dent not having arrived, Mr.. Nahinu,
the senior member, took the chair.
Somebody moved that Mr.. Hitch
cock be elected temporary President
and several motions to adjourn were
made.
Mr.. w. O. Smith moved that Mr..
Dole be expelled for smoking con-
trary to the rules.
Mr.. Kalua argued that the House
as constituted was not Il House,
being without n quorum, and there
fore its deliberations must end in
smoke. He attacked the right of
the member occupying the chair to
either sit, stand OF lie there.
Mr.. Nawahi held that the yener-
able appearance of the chairman
yindicated his right to preside under
rule II.
Most of the members were by this
time intently studying the rules, and
several were on their feet at once
vehemently trying to elucidate q
scheme of adjournment without
violence to the constitution or the
state.
Mr.. Dole smoked defantly.
Mr.. Nakaleka rose, shedding a
gorgeous smile over the chaos, hold
ing in his hand musty tome, APP
parently the Penal Code. While
about to PROFOUND his conviction
that the six Molokai policemen al
S25 could clean the whole opposition
out in seven minutes and q half, the
floor was wrested from him by
Mr.. Dole, who observed that Mr..
Kalua was pretty smart fellow, but
knew nothing about the rules.
Mr.. w. o. Smith saved the re.
porters the trouble of translating by
speaking in English. He quoted
from Solomon that there was q time
for all things under the sun, ant
urged with great vehemence and
pounding of his desk that now was
the time to smash the Philistines.
Mr.. Richardson, amid furious
demands for putting the motions tc
adjourn, delivered mastery expo.
sition of parliamentary practice
He held that unless the members
vented less gas, Mr.. Elmore's com
pany could not stand their competi
ton. This observation applied tc
other sittings of the House.
Mr.. Hitchcock brooded over the
fact that the House could not rise il
its present condition, even if its en-
forced sitting resulted in the hatch
ing of plot against the palace
stables.
Several members at this became
exasperated, and threatened tc
eclipse the House by putting on thei
hats, and carrying out their threats
they brought one of the least harm
ful if not most useful sittings of thu
session to 4 sudden termination.
The reporters agreed by common
consent to not hold themselves res
| ponsible for the accuracy of thei
