He concluded by impressing upon
the audience that the occasion was
worthy of their liberal patronage.
after which the eating and merry
making began.
In the Lodge Hall several tables
had been prepared where guests
could be seated and served upon
the restaurant plan. 1t is needless
for us to say that this branch of the
entertainment was more than suc-
cess, when we tell you that it was
under the management of Mrs.
Phillip Bernstein, Mrs. G. G. Dunn.
Mrs. H. v. Mccain, Mrs. B. A.
Fortson and Mrs. j. w. Etheridqe.
all of whom know how to please the
palate of the most fastidious epi-
cure. In the Town Hall there were
various tables and stands, among
which was fruit stand superin-
tended by Mrs. A. G. Teddlie. as
sisted by Misses Ida and Carrie
Mccain, where apples oranges and |
bananas were dealtout,also candies.

which owing to the generosity of
the older heads gladdened the hearts
Of the small boys in keeping up
their usual racket. An ambrosia
stand was superintended by the
deft hands of Mrs. Jno. T. O'Ouin
assisted by Miss Ollie Callam and
Miss Nettie Bernstein, which was
siso success and met with Iiber-
Il patronage. Also ice cream was

apartment was largely due to {
dlsses Annie Lee, Millie Jackson !

THE Atlanta Constitution asks for
more internal government and less
external, more in the home ana less
in the street:
u\yhat Is wanted is not 50 much
outside law. but more law ana oruer
in the family. Men are made or
MARI ID at the fireside. NO artlllclal
daddy with a parcel OF statutes, tOr-
NAL fiubdub and textbooks can TAKE
the place of the natural daddy WIN
his love and common sense ana Dig
hickory. When a man makes the
right kind of laws for his own TAM
ily and executes them he need not
bother himself about state laws ana
courts
The recommendation of the Constl-
tuition does not go deep enough. The
work must begin within the daddy
himself No man is really fit to be
the lawgiver of family until he has
become his own lawgiver and law OBJ
server. Until the restraints and con-
strains of man upon himself, OF ms
higher upon his lower nature, become
the highest law to which can feel
allegiance and own obedience the
man is not fit to beget children and
weld big hickory. Lack of home
government is the great lack, but it
is government of the head Of the
home, not control over the members
that is imperatively demanded.

RREsT OF PROMINENT CITI-
\zENs CHARGED WITH
\ THELATE ROBBERY
A WOUNDED RoBBER CAPTURED
Mesks and Other Evidences Found on the
CaTSured Persons--omc ers and De-
eotives at ycEk for the
rewards,

TExARKANA, Tex, June 13.-Nothing
more startling or sensational has occurred
for years than the arres. of two well known
citizens of this city last night on the charge
of being connected in the late train robbery.
The large rewards offeredfor the arrest of
the perpetrators of this crime has stimu-
lated the officers and private detectives to
extraordinary exertion and every clue has
been followed up closely. Among
the foremost of the exper'Ls engaged
in unwilling the mystery is John A
Williams, long resident of this city and
heretofore considered one of the very best
detectives and man of honor and inte--
rity. Hence the surprise of the entire popll.
lation to learn that he had been lodged in
jail on the charge of being one of the ring
leaders of the robbery. With him Napo-
leon Mcdaniel, formerly a policeman OF
this city, was placed behind the bars. Nc
Daniel is well connected here. He gave up
his position as policeman several years ago,
but has resided here continuously since
The grounds of arrest were the finding OF
some of the masks and other disguisee
which were traced to the parties named
The accused are now closely guarded The
raiders gave the train men parting shot
before moving away from the ground,
severely wounding the express agent.
The engineer insisted that one ofthe rob-
bers was also shot on that occasion, an d
declared that he saw the wounded man s
comrades carrying him off. 1t was ascer-
tanned that man named Jim Radclitf liv-
ing near the scene of the robbery
was suffing from agun shot wound which he
informed the physicians he received acct
dentally from a pistol, discharged while he
was mounting his horse. DR.. Hoffman is
attending him and says it is severe
wound and perhaps fatal, the ball having
been bungingly extracted before he was
called in. A posse went out this morning
and arrested Radcliff and brought him to
city. There are many evidences against
him, among them a mask similar
to those used by the robbers,
which was found in his coat pocket. The
officers feel absolutely certain that they
have the right parties and the solution OF
this and other similar robberies.
Radcliff, the wounded man, was brought
in on wagon, and owing TO his exhausted
condition cannot be interviewed. He was
carried in a helpless condition from the
wagon to the Jail.
