Four -ons Who GOT Ab0c

George w. Norton, banker the richest man
in Kentucky, died at his home here recently,

whom are likewise very wealtuy, one of them
being EckStein Mort n of New York city, presi-

An anecdote will show the remarkable ability
OF MIR. NOrto and his brothers as finauciers.
Their mother was left a widow almost wUnodt
means wGen her chi ren were com aratively
young. They then lived at RussellyIlle, a town
of 1900 inhabitants in the south I'm part OF tue

business education. SIZE was a woman of I'm
usual ability and great strength and deciion of

A saloonkeepers Defense.

There is no doubt that the better class of
saloonkeepers would he glad to have the
Sunday liquor law emf lrced. OIe of them,
IN a communication to the MORNING News
yesterday, said that it would give them
great Satisfaction to close their saloons on
Sundays, but that they could not d. SO
without losing great deal OF money unless
all Of the saloons should cl Sc. he
said that those who drink on Sundays,
if they ul1 not get drinks at the places
they patronized on the other days of the
week, would not only go elsewhere f r
drinks on Sundays, but would transfer
their entire patronage. The saloonkeepers,
therefore, VINO would like to obey the law
and close their places on Sundays, were
70 ced to keep their saloons open in order to
hold their business.
There is some truth il this. though it is
not sufficient to justify the violating Of the
Sunday liquor law. The proper thing TO
do, however, and the thing th ought to bs
done, is TO enforce the law against ali keep
ers OF places where Intoxicating liq ors are
sold.
1t is strange that no particular effort is
made to force The Sunday liquor law. Do
the authorities think that t0ey havs not
obliga ed themselves to enforcs It! If they
do it would DO iitere ii g to know why
they think so. If they do not think SO,
" hat do they mean by permitting it to be
vi lated 50 openly and fayrantly, or vio-
lated at all!
It would not be difficult matter to en-
force the law. 1t is N old sayi x that
where there is a will there is a way. II the
authorities decided that all drinking places
should be closed on Su days they could
very easily carry their session into effect
The drinking places in Atlanta, Macol,
I'd other cities in the state are closed on
Sundays. Is the police force here les,
efficient than in those cities! 1t will hardly
be admitted tn 1t it is.
Suppose the authorities make an earnest
effort to close the drinking places on Sun
days. They will fl I'd a good many of the
saloon keepers ready 10 cooperate with
the u. Those who refuse to cooperate will
quickly nse 1t to obey the law whel they
undo sta that it is going to be enforced
The trouble is tLat no sustained effort to
enforce the law is made. There appears to
be TT of tacit understanding that the
law is a dead letter, and tn 1t if an eff jrt to
enforce it is made it will be relaxed after
one or two Sundays. The fact that there
are more d unken men on the streets on
Sundays than other days, must convince
tue Authorities that thriving bust ess is
dJue while the c1urch bells are ri Aging,
and prayers are bei.lg uttered in sanctu-
aries that the morals of the city may be
improved
The authorities are responsible for much
of the want and mi cry that exists in the
homes of many of the poor because they
permit he existencs of the temptation to
drink on Sundays, when the working people
are idle. If the saloons were closed on Sun
days the money spent for Intoxicating
liquors on those days would b. used in max
& homes co nfortable and happy.

The Clam Dnelinp Bill.

The legislature ought to pas without de
lay the bill introduced into the House on
Mondays by Reores ,ntative Glen !, t. make
the law prohibiting dueling more stringent.
The state has been advertised enough in
connection with duels since the legi lature
has been in session. 1t is not the kind OF
advertising the state wants, beca ise it does
her no good. In fact, it does her harm
Those who favor the duel as a means of
Sc ting disputes may say what they plea @
in support OF it, but the fact remains that
it is Condemned by all right-think ny
peoples A man who kills anot er in duel
commits murder, and there Q very few
men, however hardened they may be, who
would feel any Itlsfacti N at having taken
the life If human being. The expo 'ience
of nearly all of those who have killed their
opponents on the so-called field f h nor is
hat they would gladly give all they pos
sessed in the world if they could undo what
they hal done.
The pu pose of Representative Glenns
bill is to prevent any correspondence look
Ing toward duel and to deter persons
from acting as seconds in duel. When it
becomes fully understo I'd that public senti-
ment is against dueliag, aud that no
leniency will be shown those who violate
the laws prohibiting it, the probability is
that there will be no more duels.
The legislature can do the state no greater
service than to pa" Representative Glena's
bill at once, and il it can SO be anende |,
that it will increase the DANCE of pu lish-
ment that those who have any connection
with a duel will run, let it b. anne d. 1t
Dug to be male the duty of every officer
to prosecute all persons who takes part in a
duel, either as principals or seconds, and
to syare no effort to have them punished.

Edison in Paris.

Edison. the inventor has been treated
royalty in Paris. Our dispatches yester-
day stated that just before leaving tn
city for London great banquet was given
in his honor. Fro reports that have
reached this country he has received more
attention from the Pa isians and from the
French government than any other man
who has visited the exposition.
Edison went to Paris to visit the exposi
ton. He hoped to escape attention. He
was so anxious to be left to himself that he
sailed from this cou TRY Under an assn ned
name. He no sooner reached Paris, how
ever, that he beca ne the lion of the hour.
Honors wera conferred upon him, and he
was in rogue t everywhere. He had no
time left t. prosecute the business which
to k him to Europe. 1t was impossible,
however, for HIM to avoid the atUe .tions
which were showered upon him. He was
compelled to submit to the will of the
people.
Tne newspapers, by their stories, in
creas d the curiosity to see him. He was
SURF unded by crowds whenever he ap-
peared on the sire is. The French public
firmly believes that he is the inventor of
the telegraph. tele phone, elec5ric light, and
even of electricity, and it is said that when
the Figaro gravely announce that he had
just com leted an adjustment for the phon :
gra n, whereby COVERS atom in English
was translated into Ere ch, the yarn was
quite generally believed. If notoriety and
popularity are equivalent to happiness,
Edison ought to be happy man.
