Forsyth streets. Mr.. Swift is a
brother Of Mr.. C. T. Swift, vice
president Of the Swift Specific Com
pany, and is employed by the CONF
pany as clerk. .
Some months ago Mr.. Magbee
lived at 352 Whitehall street, and
Mr.. ]. M. Swift resided with him
Miss Magbee is remarkably pretty,
and as a natural result strong at
tachment sprang up between the
young people. Objections were
made to the marriage, and recently
Mr.. Magbee removed his family
to new home far out on Capital
avenue. This had a tendency to
separate the lovers, and they put an
end to their dificultief last night
by being quietly married. Then
friends say that without doubt the
the relatives Of b 'tb bride and groom
will quickly be reconciled, and their
honeymoon will be without a cloud
to mar its happiness.

Blanche Nelson. a handsome,
gorgeously dressed young woman,
was brought before Justice White
the other day for trial. The charge
against her was ''disorderly conduct"
whats the cast against this
girl?" asked the Court.
Kissing
Il don't know that this is any
crime" said the court refectively.
"TelI me the story"
1t appeared from the evidence
that the affectionate young creature,
while slightly under the influence
Of wine, created a scene at the cor
ner Of Halstead and Madison streets
by kissing all the good looking
young men she could catch. Very
little outcry on the part of the
victims was made, and everything
went well until solemn, middle
aged man, having the appeance and
garb of a clergyman, came along.
The girl seized him. He appeared
anything but reconciled to her
caresses. As the middle-aged gen.
tleman struggled to free himself
from Blanche's embraces a crowd
gathered and a policeman hoved in
sight. The patrol wagon was sum-
mond. Inside of ten minutes Miss
Blanche was behind prison bars.

DR.. Hawthorne was called en- to
perform a wedding ceremony last
night under decidedly romantic cir
cumstances.
Soon after dark last night young
gentleman and lady ascended the
steps leading to the front door Of
the Talmage house and rang the
bell. Mrs. Talmage was standing
close by and answered the summons
herself. The young man explained
that he was anxious to see DIR. Haw-
thorne on private business, and re-
fused an invitation TO enter the par
Tor. The young lady sunk into a
chair near the door when the dark
ness was impenetrable, and reman-

until DR.. Hawthorne appeared.
When he came the gentleman
handed him apaper, and said he want
cd to get married Immediately. DR..
Hawthorne took the document to
the light. and found ii was a license
signed October 18th, permitting MIR.
J. NJ. Swift to marry Miss Josie
Nagbee.
Seeing that all the requirements
Of the law had been complied with,
DIR. Hawthorne asked the young
gentleman to bring bis bride into
the parlor aud have the ceremony
performed there. The lady, how
ever, objected strongly to this plan.
Through the open window she could
see several ladies who had heard IN
some mysterious way that n young
couple were to be married, and who
were anxious TO see the ceremony.
The groom explained that they
had been travelling oil day, and IL
DR.. Hawthorne could make il con-

H. wATTERsON's SPEECH.
Henry WattersOn's Views on
Finance and the Southern,
Question

He addressed Che National Board
of Trade the other day as follows:
"What are you going to do for a
banking system when there are no
more bonds to build on? Some ten
years ago | ventured to propose that
we reduce the national debt to a
thousand millions, and then that,
for fiscal basis, we fund these
thousand millions at low rate of
interest, and make the debt thus re-
duced perpetual. Everybody laughed
at me. Some said | was crazy, 9TH
ers insisted that 1 was simply afool.
But | am more than ever persuaded
of the truth and force Of my sug-
gestion; because, to say nothing
about the banks and the future Of
our banking system, we ought to
have some fixed securities for small
holders, which can neither be swAl-
lowed up by IA deluge of watered
stock, nor be able to run away to
Canada"
On the Southern question MIR.
Watterson said:
"You are at this moment stand
ing on the gateway that leads to the
South. The wealth that is there is
hidden no longer from human eyes.
But what is the value of all this if
we have not order and law, regulat-
ed by intelligent and responsible
government? To whom shall gov
ernment be committed? To the
Anglo-Saxon, with centuries of en-
lightened freedom behind him, or to
the African, just emerged from
slavery?
mo one can comprehend the
meaning of this great menace to
the prosperity of the South who has
not been there, who does not live
there. Nor is 1t possible for it to
be treated with wisdom by any other
than local agencies. Cannot the
thinking peoDle Of the North i'm
agine if thev are unable to see this?
Can they not feel that they may
trust the intelligence, the humanity,
the Christianity Of the South and
the testimony Of the truly response
bic northern men ,who have gone
South to deal with a disease which
outside pressure has always aggra-
vated and will always aggravate?
II am blind TO none Of the dan
gers that lurk amid the shadows of
this great cross, which for some my
stenous purpose-I know not what
has been put upon the South,
but which, | do know. the South
alone can break, as the South alone
has borne t."

uExKEN.s ORDER DEPARTMENT

Responding to the growing requires
ments of our numerous patrons living
outside of Memphis, we have enlarged
reorganized and improved our "order
Department" SO that those residing at !"
distance shall have the same ADVANTAGES
as if here in person.
All goods, if returned in reasonable
time (say three days after receipt and
in the same condition as when shipped,
will be exchanged for anything required
or the money paid will be refunded at
pleasure of the purchaser.
Freight will be prepaid on all orders
amounting to s5and over, except queens
ware, glassware and wheeled good, such
as baby buggies and velocipedes. No
goods will be sent on approval but as
above stated-articles not satisfactory
can be exchanged or the money will be
returned.
You know we keep every ready-made
garment worn by men, women and chi
dren. as well as the materials to make
them. You can get a silk dress or a bon'
net. suit of gents or boys clothing,
carpet-in fact, everything to wear Oh
use in the household. We have really
thity stores in one, ana the manage
ment of the thirty costs very little more
; than the management of one; SO we arc
enabled to sell at lower prices thal
others. Our standard always IL, "Exce'
