The Hard Lot OfWives
Rev. 7. X. Noble.

Rev. T. X. Noble.
60 out to Gods acre, and read upon
the tombstones OF the poor wives who
sleep quietly beneath the daisies. with
their hands folded upon their breasts, Of
their virtues, and think that some of
the inscriptions should read, "Died Of
Overwork." Ii life is a battle to man. it
is more to woman. Woman does not
draw her inspiration from the same
source as man. Three things she needs
and must have: First, your society and
companionship; second. your confidence;
and third, your love. She doesn't want
to wait until she is dead to read her
virtues on her tombstone. She wants
her husband to tell her how much he
loves her. There are couples, happy in
the eyes of society, who in'the home are
nothing to each other. There are couples
who in society blossom all over with
courtesies to each other, but who in their
own homes are as stolid as oysters. In
society the husband will almost break
his neck TO pick up her handkerchief. if
it falls, and at home will allow her to
carry the coal hod. Or he is attentive to
other mems wives and neglectful OF his
own. ] sometimes marvel at the cool
ness with which man asks tenderly-
reared maiden to leave her luxurious
home to cast her lot with him upon the
untried sea OF matrimony, and / marvel
at the faith of the maiden who accepts
the offer, saying: "Whither thou goest
I will 30, and where thou lodgest I will
lodge; thy people shall be my people and
thy God .cy God" Gentlemen, l sub
init that grave obligations grow out Of
this love and that we owe it to them to
live for their happine IS by doing every
thing for them in our power.
There is an old adage which says, at
never rains but it pours." When we
plod along our weary way for month
and during that time only get two new
subscribers. and then all OF sudden in
one day get fourteen. we are bound to adj
NIT there is some truth in the proyerb.

A Mammoth Concern.
Nashville Union.

The Tennessee Coal, Iron q Railroad
company is an enterprise that will now
tract attention in all parts of The United
States. 1t is now the largest and most
valuable coal and iron property in the
United States. And in its capacity and
outlook there is nothing in England
equal to it. The company yesterday, at
at meeting of its stockholders, bought
the entire property of the Pratt Coal <
Iron company of Birmingham, and the
two properties are now consolidated un-
der one management, with headquarters
at Nashville, with Enoch Ensley, presi-
dent; T T Hillman, vice president; A M
Shook, general manager: j M Bowron,
treasurer; G Fisher, secretary The ex>
ecutive committee are Nat Baxter, John
Inman, A S Colyar, 7 NJ Stegar and w
M Duncan, with the powers of the presi>
dent, when he is absent, conferred on
the chairman, Nat Baxter, Jr. The
board of directors are, Enoch Ensley,
Nat Baxter, Jr., Sam Keith, John P Will
liams, Napoleon Hill, TT Hillman, IL
Inman, Colyar, I nj Steger, A M
Shook, w H Inman, Thomas w Evans,
w NJ Duncan. The company now COM
| bines the two largest coal mining proper
| ties in the south, the two mining about
1900 tons day. They own about 400
coke ovens. They own and operate five
of the largest furnaces in the south. In
less than two years the output OF iron by
this company will be at least 1900 tons
daily.
The Tennessee property embraces the
Sewanee mines and coke ovens. and the
Cowan furnace and the two South Pitts
burg furnaces, the Inman iron mines,
with about l69, 900 acres of land, mostly
iron and coal land.
The Pratt Iron & Coal company has
about 100000 acres Of land embracing
the celebrated Pratt mines, immense
beds of ore aid their furnaces.
By tfe terms of this trade 81 ,O0O,0 900 is
put in the treasury to build four large
furnaces.
The immense property is now in the
hands of experienced iron men and men
of large capital. With these men it is no
experiment. They are the men who
built up the two properties, and their
success is the guarantee Of success for the
combined enterprise.
The new president, Mr.. Enoch Ensley,
is not only one of the most enterprising
and progressive men OF the south, but he
is man Of big brain and remarkably
we'll balanced.
He has shown his wonderful powers in
the organization and development OF the
Pratt Coal & Iron company.
i Nothing has ever been done in the
South that looks SO much like being a
real competitor of Pennsylvania in the
iron business as this organization with
$40, 100000 capital.
The stock of the company has greatly
improved in New York in contemplation
of this trade. 1t is not doubted now but
that the stock will reach par very soon
indeed, there is no telling what the stock
may 90 to-for most assurredly, in its
vast resources as well as in its working
capacity, it is by far the most valuable
coal and iron property in the United
States.
It is as If the ore beds Of Lake Superior
were put down between the coal hills OF
Pittsburg.

Little lvie Blake, an Orphan.
Picked Up by the Police.
AT late hour last night bright appear
ing little girl approached Officer Lynch, at
corner of Broadway and Seventh street. and
asked him it he would take care of her,
stating she had been left on the streets by
railroad man who had brought her from
Fargo. The youthful wanderer was taken
to headquarters, where she told rather
sad story of friendless orphanage to Lieut..
Walsh and Officer O'Keefe. She said her
name was Ivie Blake and that she had
lived in Fargo. Last summer her father,
who had been barber there, suddenly died
and she was left with an older brother and
sister, the mother having died several
years ago. Some months since both brother
and sister sickened and died, and she was
left alone. A railroad man, she says, took
her to hotel and had her taken care of
ever since until yesterday. when he put her
on train and brought her to st. Paul. She
says they got off the train before
it reached the depot and that soon after
wards the man disappeared, leaving her on
the street alone. Ivie is quite proposes
sing child, of years, is unusually bright
and intelligent and is undoubtedly of good
parentage. The officers at headquarters made
up comfortable bunk for her, where the
little waif was soon fast asleep. Some dis
position of her will be made to-day, and if
possible good home found where she will
be well cared for.
