A Glass Day Incident.
From the Boston Courier.


It was Harvard class day, and as she had a
ravishing gown. she was in blissful frame of
mind. Besides, she was almost as good as en-
gagged to Tom Burns, to whose spread she mer-
rily wended her way, properly attended by a
chaperone who knew how to keep discreetIy
out of sight
But fate was unkind to her. She had hardly
set her foot inside of Toms chambers than the
host was introducing her to man whose face
gave her a dreadful shock.
You ought to know my cousin, Jack
Harmes," Tom said, cordially.
And what punishment could be too severe for
that wretch of a Jack Harness, who had the
cruelty to rejoin:
"Oh, we do know each other. We were en-.
gagged five years ago while we we're in college:
weren't we, Miss BlankG'
"Oh, no, Mr.. Harness, not engaged You know

And so she saved herself, and if she Is not by
this time betrothed to Tom, she certainly de-

Unfolding Local ontion.

| 1t is not probable that very large per
centage of the prohibitionists of this state is
In favor of a general prohibiHon law.
Doubtless all of the prohibitionisfs would
like to see the sale Of intoxicants prohibited
in every county. but they are not yet con-
WINGED that local option is not the best
method for securing prohibition that pro-
hibits. They understand that before law
can be etfcctually inforced it must have the
support of public sentiment Local option
requires the people to be educated up to the
| prohibition standard before prohibition is
adopted, and when adopted under those
! circumstances it is effective
Doubtless some effort will be made in
parts OF this state to elect men to the legis-
lature who are in favor of general prohib-
ltory law. 1t will not receive much encour-
agement. The faith in local option is yet
strong. Something of a contest over this
issue was made in the Twentieth senatorial
! district. which is composed of the counties of
Baldwin, Hancock and Washington. Two of
the counties have adopted local option, and
the other is full of prohibitionistS. The
senatorial convention met day or two ago,
| and Hon. Robert Whitfield of Baldwin was
nominated for senator, and a very good
nomination 1t is. One Of the resolutions
| adopted read as follows: ''To the prin-
ciple Of local option in dealing with the
liquor question, the good faith Of the dem
ocratic party of this district is pledged, as
was announced by the last convention Of
the district, which met in Sandersville and
nominated Hon. c. r. Pringle for sena-

1t is true, particularly in the largo cities,
that TIE hot season causes an increase in
sickness and in the death rate, and the i'm
perative duty Of boards of health is to
guard against disease by putting their
respective cities in good sanitary condition.
To large numbers of people hot weather
means a little discomfort, and thea a visit
to the seashore or vacation in the country,
but to a large majority of the residents of
cities, it means sickness and suffering
The press of New York is trying to have
measures adopted to prevent much of the
sickness due to the season. 1t wants the
streets, houses and yards of the different
districts thoroughly cleaned. While the
general sanitary condition of the city is
good, there are. as in all cities, districts
which may be termed plague spots The
horrible condition of one of them is thus
pictured by the Star: "Along the narrow
streets swarmed dirty men, women and
children, pale and emaciated from breathing
the poison which floats in every breath of
atmosphere in the filthy dens which tower,
one upon another, on either side. Dull and
lethargic, they huddled in groups upon the
greasy pavement, or CROPPED among the
filthy rubbish and garbage which filled the
cutters up to the level of the pavement, and
in which were at intervals pools of black
water. Some of the back yards were
almost impossible for the mounds of filth
and refuse" OF course the rubbish and
garbage breed contagion, and the hot
breezes carry the poison into many homes
in different parts of the city.
The board of health have been aroused to
some extent, and the probability is that be-
fore the press let's up on them they will be
fully aroused They have put on an extra
physician in each district, and have caused
1t to be thoroughly circulated that in every
police district there is physician who will
attend the sick among the poor at any time
of the day or night free of charge. Medi-
cines may be obtained also ON the prescrip.
ton of an authorized physician. This is all
very well. In fact. it is the next best thing
to removing the cause of the sickness
The action of the New York press in this
matter can be highly commended. The
newspapers of that city may not be regarded
in some quarters as highly moral forces,
but they are always ready to champion the
interests of the city, and to take UP the cud-
gels for the innocent and defenceless. No
movement of theirs has been productive Of
more good than this one promises TO be; and
no doubt they will follow it up with a sue.

The report that the wealthy Mrs. Louis
c. Hnmmersley, Of New York, will be mar
ried to-day to the duke of Marlborough,
seems to be quite generally credited Mrs.
Hammersloy has all income of 100000 a
year, and is celebrated for her beauty
Some doubt is expressed whether Mrs.
Hammersley would be well received in
England as the duchess Of Marlborough, for
the reason that the duke is very unpopular,
and his divorced wife, Lady Blandford, has
| the sympathy Of the best people in England.

B1ueblood Ben.
from the Ne,c York Sun.
Ben Harrson's blood is thin and old,
1t has stood so long it is getting cold,
But it's color is the true old blue,
The real aristocratical hue;
So, workingmen, get down in the mud,
And take off your hats to Ben Blueblood.
CHORUS.
He sits In the top of his family tree,
Where it's just as cold as cold can be;
And the workingmen can't get near Ben,
So tail is his family tree;
Dear me %
So tall is his family tree.
Come, poor, plain folks, and throw up YOU
hats,
And vote for the gem of aristocrats;
OF course, he cares not rap for you
But you won't mind that for his blood is blue.
Few folks are born of african birth,
And those that are should inherit the earth,
No need to ask what his talents are,
A President was his grandpapa;
No need to inquire what can he do,
His grandsire fought at Tfppecanoe;
All men whose grandads were obscure
Should vote for him, for he had one, sure.
He's on the good old plan. you see,
A candidate of high degree;
No vulgar person, no son of the soil
Is he no child of want and toll;
So come up, come up, we common men,
And put in vote for Blueblood Benz
CHORUS.
He sits in the top of his family tree,
