The Grand ola Mans Wife.

No woman eyer lives more useful
life than thewife of highlands greatest
man, saws the New York MdH and EG-
press Although Is years old, Mrs.
Gladstone has still sufficient energy to
reflect the motto adopted by her when
only little girl: If you want u thing
well done do it yourself Her father,
Sir Richard Glynue, Bart, of Hawar-
den castle. was in the habit of saying
that even as a child this poJ daughter
eyinctd a remarkable talent for lead
ership, and subsequent events have
proved that the baronets impression
was correct. While Mrs. Gladstone is
in perfect sympathy with her husband,
and ever ready to be of service to him,
vet she is more interested in raising
the moral and social standard of those
around her than in anything else For
years she has not onlyencouraged hor-
ticulture and Horticulture among the
cottagers in her neighborhood, but has
personally assisted in the selection Of
plants and the laying out of plats. She
has an abundance Of tact, and in argu
ment she is quite as logical as her
husband. During a prolonged inter-
view with a particularly combatiye and
unreasoning woman on one occasion
her husband is said to have remarked:
"Well, now this is rather unprece-
dented, YOU know. Ny wife usually
talks over the most pertinacious Of
them in less time than this. But she'll
beat" he added, laughingly, "for she
never fails Being quite domestic in
her tastes, Mrs. Gladstone is quite de-
lighted to find this talent among her
friends. In the selection of these this
lady is never influenced by the acct
dent Of birth, wealth, or social posi-
ton. Her two requirements are moral
worth and brains. Thus the proudest
home in England is always open to
professional people
In 1862. during the cotton famine,
Mrs Gladstone worked night and day
TO alleviate the misery. She establish
ed an orphans home Mt Chaplain in
1866 This afteward became home
for incurabes Mrs Gladstone's so
cial, educational, and charitable pro-
iects have always been warmly second
ed BY her husband, who is more proud
Of his wife than Of anything else in
the world, not excepting ms own nom
orablc and brilliant career
The following story will illustrate
this lovely woman's great heart:
"Oh. if l could only do something
for YOU" a poor singer whom Mrs.
Gladstone had been able to render a
great service, once exclaimed.
THAT is easy, my dear, - the lady re-
sponded.
EASY for me to be of service to
you?" the lady exclaimed, the CRATE
full tears flowing down her cheeks.
Eyes, by doing something for some
body else. A kind word, bit of prac-
teal advice, a helping hand-eyen il
there isn't much in it, Mrs. Gladstone
replied with a smile, evil always be
doing something Tor me And more
than that my child, it viii be doing
something for yourself and something
for God.

The Children's Purim Ball at the

The chidren's Purim ball at the Guards
Armory yesterday afternoon was a pretty
sight. Over a hundred little tots danced
and romped over the smooth floor. The
childreus bali is given every year
by the Amusement Committee of
the Harmonic Club, and this
year went ahead Of any other. 1t was a
pretty scene. looking down from the bal
cony upon tie dancing floor, and the little
tots with their gay dresses racing up and
down and skipping through the figures of
lancers and quadrille The Amusement
Committee was assisted by ten lady man
ayers, who looked after the little ones and
gave them their whole attention
Like all of the Harmonic
Clubs entertainments the ball was an
exclusive affair Only members children
were present. At the intermisSion in the
dance the grand march was formed, and it
was a pretty sight as the long line of rosy
checked and bright-faced little ladies and
gentlemen marched up through the long
hall and down TO the supper room. There
they were looked after by the lady mana
gers. After the supper the dance began
again and lasted until o'clock.

ing NelCs: The words "Pious and Immortal

observed that these words "Pious," I'm

be, forsooth, to transfer all the heroism
from Jasper TO the people themselves, which,
on its face, would be an absurdity, exactly
the opposite of what the inscription in ques-

Mr.. ROGERS STEPS OUT.
THE CENTRAL's ASSISTANT PRES
IDENT RESIGNS.

A Quarter Of Century in the Com
ptrnys Service, and Nineteen Years
as Its General Superintendent-Pr
ident Alexander's Letter-The Office
of Assistant to the President to be
Abolished.
Mr.. William Rogers has rendered his
resignation as assistant to the President
of the Central railroad, TO take effect to-
day
Mr.. Rogers is one of the best known rail
road men in the South, and has been con
nected with tn Central for nearly quar-
ter of century. Before that he was an
officer in the Bank Of the State of Georgia,
and in the Farmers and Mechanics Bank,
of this city. On the closing of the latter
Institution by the events of the war, Mr.
Rogers was, III 1866, made book
keeper of the Central rail
road which was under the old regime next
to that of Superintendent In 1869 he was
appointed General Superintendent.
1t was in that year that the Southwestern
railroad was incorporated into the Central
and soon after the Macon and w eStern rail
road was brought under the same control.
He held the office of General Superintendent
until last year, when the road passed into
the hands of the present owners. The office
of General Superintendent was then
abolished and General Manager was ap-
pointed, and Mr.. Rogers was given the
place, which he has since filed.
Under the able management Of the
late Col Wadley and that of his sue
cessor, Capt. W. G. RaOul, and the efficient
SUPPLEMENTARY of Mr.. Rogers, the Central,
l. l.. II 1
Macon, became the great railway system
that it is to-day. Mr. Rogers friends and
the people along the line who know him will
regret that he is no longer connected with
the Central.
The following letter from the President
of the Central does Mr.. Rogers but simple
justice:
OFFICE OF PRESIDENT CENTRAL RAuRoADl
AND BANKING Co. OF GEORGIA,
SAVANNAH, GA Feb 18th. 1888
William Rogers, Esq, assistant to tie PreSt-
dent:
DEAR Mr.. RoGERs-It is with great regret that
receive your letter rendering your resignation
Of the position as my assistant, which you have
held since my connection with the Central, and
am led to accept it only because, with our pres
ent organization and system, am unable to
make of the position one which would be more
worthy Of your time and attention.
Our personal relations have always been so
cordial and pleasant, and have formed so high
an opinion OF your devotion to duty, and earn
est and untiring watchfulness and care and
energy in guarding and fostering the interests
of the company that it is with the more regret
that | see your direct connection with the com
pany severed. 1t has endured for many years,
however, and you can point with pride to its
record and present condition and to the high
character and morals Of its employees due in no
small measure, know, to your influence and
your former organization.
With most sincere esteem and regard, and
warmest wishes, am very truly yours,
E. ?. ALEXANDER, President.
1t is understood that the Office of Assist
ant to the President will be abolished.
