The New York World devotes sew

The New York World devotes sew
eral columns to the story of how DR..
Charles Stlllman, man whose name
is widely known as physician of re-
pute and one who has won honors
and distinction in orthopedic surgery,
and the daughter of millicnaire.
The story goes into details as fur
nished by the physician himself, con-
corning his marriage with a second
cousin, the incompatability of temper
ament which finally led to their sepa-
ration, his meetingwith the millionaire's
beautiful daughter, their mutual love
although no divorce had been granted
the physicion, their long struggle to
Conquer their love, the opposition of
the girls father and friends, the final
withdrawal of her fathers affections
ETC., and finally a scandal which cul-
minated in the physician being ex-
PEELED from the mutual life insurance
company of which he was the medical
examiner and then an elopement.
The two are now living together and
q great attempt is being made by
them, because of their,peculiar circum-
stances, ito palliate the ofense of which
they are guilty. Of course 1t is to be
expected that the free lovers will rush
to their rescue, but just the same no
man and no woman stands 80 high,
but that they will be punished
when they attempt to make
unto themselves law which God and
man does not sanction. They may
claim that they are perfectly satisfied
In their relation and that ''the world
forgetting aud by the world forgot" is
an existerce of happiness. 1t is not
so, no two people ever lived who
could be constantly thrown together
with sin between them, which they
know to be a sin. despite of assertions
to the contrary, without an eventual
feeling of unrest and possible disgust.
There is no sophistry which can
change a fact, there is no argument
which can condone sin, there is no
conclusion which can reconcile folly.
Whatever heartache may come when
two people are separated in this world
by circumstances which custom has
warranted and society approved
of. it is a thousand times better
to bear it than to accept guilt as an
alternative. The physician in ques-
ton may endeavor to face and stem
the torrent of his own conscience and
the sneers which he is bound to en-
counter, but the way of the transgres'
sor is hard and sooner or later the
deluge will overwhelm and destroy the
frail fabric of defiance which he and
the woman by his side have erected.

IMPORTANT DECISION
Judge BigclOw Sustained in the G.
II. IL. Il. Land Cuse.

Yesterday tho Supreme Court filed
au opinion which is OF like Importance
I'D the several States and Territories,
"a we'll as to all railroads which Lave
received land grants from tho Gov
ornment.
In 1887 the Assessor of Wash oe
county listed all the surveyed lanes
Of the odd sections claimed by the
Coatral Pacific Railroad Company in
this county for taxation. The com
pany refused to pay tho taxes there
on, claiming that the title was not SO
vested as to make these lands the
subject, OF taxation, or, in other
words, make them the property of the
company in a manner that would sub
jsct them to taxation. Suit was
brought against the company and the
lands and tho case was ably contested
bsfore Judge Bigelow, who decided
in very able opinion that under an
Act OF Congress, PASSED in 1886, all
surveyed odd SECTIONS, whether pat
ont had issued therefor or not, was
tho property of the railroad, and, as
such, had to bear part of the burden
Of running the local as well as the
National Government
The case was appealed to tho Su-
preme Court, and has been under con-
Hideration for some time, and that
body has affirmed Judge Bigelow's
opinion.
Only Il few counties, probably only
two, Washoe and Lander, have at
tempted to assess the lands, notwith-
standing the Acknowledgement Of the
State, by circular letters, instructed
the Assessors in the counties where
they were situated to assess them.
What course will lie pursued by
the State in reference to the Assess
ors who have failed to comply with
those Instructions the Gazette is not
advised, but so far as The Washoe coun-
ty assessor is concerned he has done
his duty in the premises, and the
c'unty by the decision, will receive
tho taxes due from the company on
surveyed and unpatentcd lands for
the past two years and this year.

A Strange Proviso.

Attached to the announcement of
the Postotiice Department that pro-
posals will DO received for carrying
the mail from Palisade to Eureka, 90
miles and back, three times a week,
is the strange condition that the con-
tractor will not be allowed to carry
the mail OH the railroad. Is it pos
sible, says the Silver State, that the
mild-mannered goody goody John
Wanamaker, Postmaster General by
virtue Of his subscription to the cam
paign fund, purposes boycotting tho
Eureka & Palisade railroad by prohlb-
itlng contractors from carrying the
mail on it, or is the condition in
serted for the purpose of expediting
tho mails upon tho ground that the
railroad cannot make schedule time
Ia hours each way?

IRREPRESSI8LE jim.

Two Quaint Sayings Of a Virginia Gcntlo-
mans Yellow Servant.
. Mr.. Smith, of Virginia. has a valet
whose eccentricities afford him ma
terial for some successful anecdotes.
Jim, who is of that shade known as
Upright mulatto," has black silken
curls and Il smile that render him the
delight and torment of all the ''yaller
gals" of the city, and his temper is as
sunny as a day in June. 1t is Mr..
Smiths invariablc habit to discharge
his valet once a week in futile en-
deavor to persuade Jim that he does
not own his master body and soul; but
rs the amiable African sweetly ignores
all such ebullitions. and always re-
turns the next morning, placidly I'M
conscious of any npleasantness, the
habit serves only as relief to his
masters overcharged feelings. On
one occasion he carried Jim down into
unfamiliar wilds in Georgia and pur-
posely lost him, after the fashion in
which one rids ones self of obnoxious
cats. and for two weeks after his re-
turn reveled in his freedom. At tho
end Of that time, in answer to his bell
one morning, Jim put his head in the
door, and asked, in his usual tone:
mis- Sniff, did you ring fer mc?"
and then his master resigned himself
to his obvious destiny. His only con-
ISOLATION is that repetition of Jim's
sayings sometimes helps him over
shoals of silence at a stupid dinner
party. Here are two Of them:
One morning, Jim having been in
structed to rouse Smith at n certain
hour, woke him with exclaiming:
Law! Mis- Sniff, done he'd such bad
luck dis mawnin! done clean forgot
to wake You up time you tole me-"
Smith groaned. Jim, you are too
trifling to live. l wish you would die.
III never get rid Of you in any other
way"
The darby set about his duties with
out resentment, and said contempla-
lively, few moments later, with an
evident desire to be obliging: Il don't
mind dyin', Mis- Sniff; it's stayin'
dead so longs what henders me-"
Jim and young African companion
were one day fishing from the wharves.
His friend missed his footing, fell into
the water and was drowned. Jim's
grief was so uproarious that a sympa-
thetic bystander inquired If the
drowned boy was a relation. "No,"
said Jim, through his tears; she
warn't no relation, but he mout's well
been-he he'd all de bait. "-Hart err s

Children as Suicides.

Eight years ago an English writer
on suicide announced to the startled
world that of the 10000 Europeans
who annually took their own lives g.
600 were children. The youngest case
then recorded was that Of boy OF
nine, who drowned himself for grief ut
the loss Of his pct canary. Since 1880
we have beaten the record many times.
The number OF suicides has increased
enormously, and America alone Gun
point to moro than one baby of seven
who has wearicd Of his hardly tasted
existence. From twelve to sixteen,
however, appears to be the age ut
which children are most prone to self
destruction, and II we examine few
of the instances so persistently brought
before the public we shalt see but too
plainly how links arc wrought in the
sad continuity Of crime. just rs one
daring robbery or brutal murder
gives birth to dragon-brood of sins.
so each miserable piece of childish
folly leaves behind it tho germ Of an
other tragic dew clopment - Catl,Oiie

1t is reported that August Belmont
has discharged his best jockey because
he did not ride his horse to win at q
recent race. He was satisfied that the
jockey was interested in making the
horse Iese the race, and Belmont de-
TERMINAL to make an example of him,
although it might be difficult to supply
his place. This shows a deplorable
condition of things on the race track,
and gives additional uncertainty to q
sport that has enough of the element
of chance already. The only remedy
we can suggest is to do away with
jockeys altogether, and let the owners
of racing stock ride their own horses
in q race. They must "back" them
literally as we'll as financially. Bel
mont is little old and a little stout to
mount racer, but the pluck that ena-
bled him to discharge his best jockey
in the interest of an honest admins
tration in the government Of the race
course, may inspire him to do it.

ABaby Drunkard.


A bIue-eyed baby drunkard.
She was the center OF group of off,
GERS at the police station Friday after
noon.
Call Officer George Hamilton had led
the little waif into the station house by
the hand, little frail, golden-haired
girl.
He had arrested her on West Peter
street, where some kind hearted gentle
man had seen her lettering about, and
had taken her In charge until the off.
Ger arrived,
She was barely years old, and her
face still retained that innocent, child
ish Appearance, which dissipation was
50 fast fobbing her Of.
She was clad In d neat calico dress,
WIS barefooted, and wore d broad
brimmed straw hat, through the rents
In which little tangled, yellow curls
found their way.
She was laughing immoderately, and
talking in wild reckless manner.
The police officers were asking her
Questions, and although she would talk
plainly, enough there was nothing
rational In what she said.
She was drunk. Her breath was
laiden with the odor of beer and whisky,
her fair blue eyes were bloodshot, and
the baby could scarcely stand on her
tiny feet.
She would laugh and joke at the
patrol-men, who, In their big hearts,
pitied the little baby, and talked to her
in the kindest manner. They did not
confne her in q cell, but let her play
about the Office until the effects of the
poisoning drink had passed off. She
seemed at home. and soon adapted her
self to her surroundings:
When she could talk more nationally
she said:
any names Johanna. and they call
me Little Jo.'"
"Who do you live with?" asked one
Of the officers, who had interested him
self with the little waif.
II live with my sister My mammals
dead. She died four weeks ago, and
my papa is in Cherokee County. He's
comm to see me when l gets IL years
old"
where's your homer"
sits on loves alley and corner of
Rhodes street. That's where my sister
lives" replied the little child.
"Who gives you beer, little one?"
asked one of the listeners.
Everybody" she replied. II drinks
beer and toddy all the time. My sister
can drink this house full of beer" the
baby prattled on, "and love beer. It's
nice, amt ?" and she laughed mer-
rily.
There's case" said DR.. Foote, as
he turned away, "for the home of the
friendless. There is where that baby
should be taken before her young life
is wrecked"
When the child was sobered up she
was taken back to her home, from
which she had few hours before wan
dered in drunken stupor.-Atlanta
