With not illegitimate curiosity the At
lanta Constitution addressed the leading
people in all walks of life in the capital of
Georgia, and asked them to name the best
thing they had found in any book except
the bible and Shakespeare.
Replies were received from about two
dozen persons, including Bishop Beckwith,
"Uncle Remus, Judge o. A. Lochrane,
an ex-chief justice of the state, and other
lawyers, with railroad men, and ladies'.
The replies included quotations from
Abraham Lincoln, Thackeray, Hooker,
Dickens. Cowper, Bryant, Milton, Finer
son, Sterne, Byron, the Brownings, Sir
Thomas Browne and Martin Luther.
Milton was chosen twice, and seven au-
thors were American and twelve Euro
peans. One surprising fact was devel-
oped. Only one quotation was humorous
and nearly every one ofthe rest treated OF
mans aspiration for the hereafter. Two
were patriotic and one touched on love.
Twenty-one opinions by twenty-one per
sons who read, stating the best things
they ever read, may fairly be taken as the
opinions of representative readers in other
American cities, and the result shows
what no one need ever have doubted, that
the future life of man is. as it always
must be, the absorbing question of this
life. The statistics of publishers show
that this is so. In England. France, Ger
many and the United States books on
theology and religion outnumber every
other class Of publication. and no books
are bought and read with greater avidity
than these. The best things that most
readers have ever read, will be found near
lY everywhere to be the best things they
can read, noble thoughts on mans noblest
aspiration.

A PARTY.
A sunday Night Entertainment Nor
Spicy than Strictly Proper.

A certain hotsl was the scene of a live
ly time Sunday night. A woman whose
name vas once Hummerstone, but who
has recently adopted a number of names,
occupied a room in the house. She had
been there several days, but Sunday
morning the proprietor, who had ample
reasons for making the request, suggested
to her that she seek other quarters. She
begged permission to remain in the house
until Monday morning, and so it came
about that she occupied her room during
the night. 1t also came about that vari-
Gus and sundry other persons incidentally
and more or less occupied the room at the
same time.
About the time when churchyards and
respectable people are supposed to be
yawning the house suddenly echoed with
the noises of a vigorous row. The night
clerk rushed to the scene of the disturb
ance, the proprietor appeared clad in more
anger than clothes, several boarders who
thought the house was a6re, rushed into
the halls in bewildering d~ishabille, and a
number of heads were observed surveying
the scene from the vantage ground of a
crack in a door.
When the clerk and the proprietor and
one or two boarders arrived one man was
expressing his sentiments by the aid OF a
water pitcher, another man was accenting
his rather emphatic remarks with a beer
bottle, and the woman-weIl, the woman
was in a quandary and but little else.
Just about this stage of the proceedings
Officer Sullivan appeared on the scene,
and the curtain was rung down on the
audience OF night caps and agitated
boarders.
Yesterday the little party appeared be-
fore Justice Fisher. One man said his
name was Michael Smith. Michael
head bore various and sundry cuts, his
eyes were in mourning, and his nose was
disigured. He was unable to meet the
demands of the court, and is now in Jail.
Joseph Brown, or at least a man who per

BURGLARS AGAIN.
They Make a Hard Raid hut Get LittI,
Money.


Sunday night, or rather early yesterday
morning, burglars -raided Lindenmeier's
saloon, known as THE Exchange" on
Sixteenth street. They first went to the
rear, where they cut through a door.
The instrument evidently used for cutting
the door was a pocket knife, or a small
chisel, and the job was doubtless aban-
doned in disgust after a small hole. had
been cut in one panel of the door.
The robbers then came around to the
front, by passing through the second
story of the building. In the main hall
way of the building is a door which opens
into the saloon, and which is but little
used. The transom over this door was
unfastened and through this one burglar
entered The marks of his boots, made
az he clambered up the door, are still
plainly visible.
The safe contained about $3.50, but no
attempt was made to burglarize it. About
ten dollars had been left in the drawer
and this was taken.
The burglary was doubtless committed
by someone familiar with the place, but at
present there is no clue.
