Hog vs.. Man.

To know the American you must see all sides OF
him. On a train between jersey City and Patcr-
SON day or two ago poorly dressed woman
carrying baby in her arms, walked through two
coaches and was unable to find seat. The rail-
road Hog was there In dozen cases he had a
whole seat to himself, and he meant to keep it.

ITO my sisters. My husband is dead, and

ans tears have melted his sefshness. He return
cd to his car gathered the other Hogs about him,
and said:
Tome down Poor wdow-sick baby-no home
Come down.
Tho Hogs went down for their wallets, and in
ten minutes the sum OF $40 was put into the
woman's hand, and the Boss Hog observed:
'There-there-it's all right9not word, Now
come back here!"
And as she followed him into the coach q dozen
Hogs rose up and Insisted that she take their

DR.. Armstrong's Case.

The Armstrong matter is getting badly
mixed up, and is likely to cause rupture
in St. Philips Church, Atlanta. The re
port of the standing committee recommend
ing that Doctor Armstrong be tried and sus-
pended pending trial caused the vestry to
meet Saturday and adopt resolutions. In
the report of the wardens and vestrymen to
the Bishop they ask that he do not suspend
| DR.. Armstrong upon the recommendation
of the standing committee. The vestry re-
ceived the evidence of the committee ap-
pointed to visit Cincinnati, found that the
charges of visiting bawdy houses in Cincin-
natl seems to be founded upon facts which
are not discreditable to DR.. Armstrong, and
that while his manner of performing
| Christian duty was ipjudicious, his motives
were entirely honorable. These facts seem
| to be that at the solicitation of friends and
| relatives in Canada the Doctor stopped in
| Cincinnati to find, and, if possible, reclaim
| Canadian girl who was reported to be in
some disreputable house in that city. In
open daylight the Doctor took public con-
| veyance and visited many OF those places to
find the person he sought. 1t further seems
| to be fact that subsequent to visiting
Tue places mentioned Inc DOCCOr paTtOOk AT
| his hotel Of stimulants, which may have
gone to the extent of intoxication. There
is no evidence that his conduct during this
time, as the result of such stimulants was
such as to bring public discredit upon the
clergy. The standing committee paid no
attention to the resolutions adopted by the
vestry, but went ahead and recommended
his suspension.
The entire city feel deeply interested in
the matter, and the congregation is widely
stirred up. The vestry, in closing their doc.
ument to the Bishop, said "As you, sir,
we'll know, our parish is now united in its
confidence in the moral and Christian cha
racter of its rector; we desire to say further,
and in conclusion, that this communication
is agreed upon without the request, recon-
mendation or presence of DR.. Armstrong.
The procurementby the standing committee
of the publication of their action has the
effect of prejudicing bis case in the public
mind. Without regard, however, to the
personal interests Of DR.. Armstrong, we, rep.
resenting, as we do, the much higher inter-
est of our parish, make this last appeal to
our Bishop for fairness and justice"
At 10 o'clock Saturday night the Bishop
ordered the Doctor to step down and out.

Truth Stranger than Fiction"

Some of the tragedies OF real life in the Me-
tTopolis are stranger than any fiction have ever
rcoG. I know Of one which has not yet got into
the local papers, but which probably will some
day More thar generation ago man who was
known az banker in Louisville, KY, married a
beautiful woman OF that city, by whom no had
in 4 few years six beautiful daughters. He
was indulgent to them in degree which was the
marvel of the city in which he lived he brought
them up in comparative ignorance, though all
were unusually bright One day during the war
he was suddenly compelled to leave Louisville
and fly to Canada; there it came out that he had
robbed United States paymaster named Cook of
100000 at cards, and his wife learned for the
first time that his business of banking involved
simply the keeping of a faro bank. She concealed
this fact from her children and fled to New York
with them to hide in the great metropolis. She
succeeded She reared these three girls in an
exemplary way, notwithstanding she was COM
pelloi to receive from her dishonored husband
the fruits of his swndling at cards. She bore it
for years, until she had married off all her six
daughters; then she refused further aid from her
husband. All this time the children re-
NAMED in ignorance of their fathers character
and business and were proud OF him. Suddenly
a few years ago he died, and tho New York papers
told the true story Of his criminal life, and the
daughters learned what their father had been.
One died from the shock. Three others withdrew
themselves from all acquaintance with old friends.
One, whose husband was equally proud and fond
Of her, refused to let her hide her head in secre
cv and pine away. The other, her fathers "a
yoritc, who had more than her share of family
pride, and who had not infrequently twitted her
handsome husband with the fact that he was "in

her father abandoned her home, turned to dissi-
nation in drink to some extent and to gambling

the entire absence of any thing pertaining

Wise declaring the white people OF Virginia
