Reporters as -Srcret-Keepe-s.

Glti5DuIR lDICDiClc.
Scarcely a day goes by but the oft-6oubtsd
reliability of newspaper men is tested, with the
result which is nearly always TO their credit.
The public generally has but a slight conception
OF what is one OF the great secrets OF success OF
a good news cstherer. To gain the confidence
OF those with whom be comes IN contact is re-
garded by a man with q nose for news rs a very
importalt matter. When be has secured the
confidence OF men who are in a position to furn-
ish him with valuable information, his future
success, to a very great extent, depends upon
his proving that he never breaks faith. Strange
though IL may seem, there are few people who
are trusted with more secrets than newspaper
men who are proven TO he honest. Yet there
are mauv people who imagine that the rule Of
news-cstherers is TO publish anything and every
thing, even though told IN confidence. Ii oIs-
tenth of the confidence reposed in reporters was
published. there would be q confusion in bust
ness. breaking up o. homes. abandonment Of en-
terprises, and a general wranEl.DS OF people
everywhere. that might be compared almost to
the wrecking Of worlds.

A Woman who insists OH the Inside Track.


Atlanta Special.
The sensation OF the city is the queer condnct
of Mrs. Mary Grant, q lady OF great respectable
ity. Some time ago she began TO develop a
passion for claiming the inside Of the walk
wherever she appeared on the streets. The
police were slow to take any notice OK the &C.
tons of a lady SO irreproachable. but matters
have at last reached tho crisis where her arrest
WAS necessary. She allowed no man or boy to
take the inside of the sidewalk. and when one
accidentally pushed his way between her and
the wall or fence she assaulted him with her
para.ol, and, If she carried none, with her hand.
The person thus assaulted would be surprised,
and would quickly got away to escape the re-
marks of the people In sight. She soon came
to be known as the inside
track woman. and everybody gave
her a wide berth as she passed. Saturday mo.n-
ing she assaulted a gentleman on Whitehall
street quite seriously. She pulled his whiskers
and threw his hat into the street. The scene
that followed was lrdicrous. The large crowd
enjoyed bis establishment as he tried to olsen
gage himself from the woman's hold. This
morning she went down Decatur street showing
every man into the ditch who would not give
her the track. She was finally arrested, and in
response TO why she assaulted the men. said:
Haven't / as much right TO the track as any
body else; and, il il is my right, ought l not TO
fight for III have a poor opinion Of any lady
who wouldn't fight for her rights. / just think
/ ought to have the inside track, and l will fight
for it until / die"
The relatives of the lady are now taking step s
to have her put into the insane asylum.

COLUMBUS, Nov. 20.-The trial Of hrs. Mary
Dorsn for the murder of her husband began in
the Circuit Court here this morning. The pris-
oner made her appearance neatly dressed and
wearing q pleasant countenance. Her
Incarceration appears to have benefited her
physical as well as mental health. The
greater part Of the morning was occupied in i'm
paneling q jury. after which the prosecution
and defense made their statements. In his talk
20 the jury. W. s. Swengle. the attorney for
Mrs. Doran, stated that the line Of defense OF
the indicted woman would be that she was in
sane. and that there would be witnesses to
prove that she purchased q large
quantity Of laudanum, which she took after per-
forming the deed for the purpose of committing
suicide. There were present from Indianapolis
police officers John Lowe. Benjamin +. Thorn
ton. John Hostetter aud James E. Quigley, all Of
whom testified that the woman had
acted as though she was OF un-
sound mind, and they recited q number
Of instances in which she behaved very strangely
on the streets at Indianapolis. Il the conclu-
sion OF the testimony Prof. A. W. Brayton, the
Indianapolis chemist, who analysed the tomac
and lungs Of the murdered man. was called to
the witness-stand. His testimony was in sub-
stance the same as has already besn
published in the Journal. He stated
that the victim came to his death
by congestion of the lungs, which was caused
by an inhalation OF carbolic acid. Two Indian
apolis people, Mrs. Juda Birch and DIR. +. j.
Brennan, who had been subpenaed as witness
es, failed to put in an appearance and attach
nesses have yet to be examined for the prosecu-
ton.

There are upon the skin of every
human being, child and adult alike,
100000 pores. Through these
pores in the form of insensible per.
spiration, is expelled more than one
quarter Of the nourishment taken into
the system. The importance Of keep.
ing open these perspiration valves
upon child's body is second only to
that of promptly digesting the food
eaten. 1t was to open the pores Of
the skin and to assimilate the food
that DR.. Pitcher formulated Castoria.
Loose bowels, constipation, fevers
and eruptions which are so constant
among infants and children, and
which kill one-third of all children
before they are five years old, arise
principally from these two causes. 1t
is from the wonderful results attend
ant upon the use of Castoria in regu-
lating the stomachs and bowels and
keeping open the pores of the skin,
that c stor.a acquired its world wide
reputation. With plenty of water
for the body, pure air for the lungs
and Castoria to assimilate the food
there need be no unaccounted for
sickness among children. Castoria
is a vegetable prescription without
morphine or other narcotic property.
Thirty years extensive use has given
it history never attained by an
other medicine.
