The Awful suspense of Criminal, De-

A Paris letter to the London Telegraph

again given rise to q considerable amount
Of discussion as to the moral effect of the

had learned 20 expect 50 much from the

would seem to be borne out by the obser-

Emancipation is one Of the developments
of the later centuries. For thousands of
years insanity. mbeHef heresy. witches
were burned, hanged. eyiseerated. and inn
prisoned. Thought has since been relieved
Of Its chains, slavery and 'erfdom have
been abolished. feudatories no longer exist.
and TO a vast extent the domain Of free
dom have been enlarged.
Largely exempt thus far from the benef-
lcent work Of emancipation are the child
rem. For scores of centuries human slav-
cry heldaway empowered by the author

fashion. the children of the age are held

A RARE OPPORTUNITY.
To Get Home in the Great City of

With the wonderful progress that
has been made by the City of Chatta-
nooga, Tenn, there is scarcely a man,
woman or child in the whole country

Chattanooga was 5000; in 1880 it
was 1900, and today it is nearly co.

something of the expansion of the
city, and the corresponding increase
in value of the property in and
around her. How much greater then
will be the increase within the next
few years The Chattanooga
