What Christianity Is Doing for Women.

Rev. James Nelson, D. D., of the
Staunton Baptist church, for the last
TWO Sunday nights has been using
incidents Of his European tour as
the groundwork Of his illustrations and
arguments. Sunday before last he gave a
very fine description Of his voyage across
the ocean, and last Sunday night another
beautiful descriptive sketch of the trip
from Liverpool to London. He spoke of
having seen women acting in positions of
important trust, and said that one of them,
a railway clerk, sold him his ticket to Lon
don. Drifting naturally into the great adj
vancement of women in this era when
Christian thought reigns supreme over
civilization, he spoke of what Christianity
was doing with and for women and in
stanced a great step that had been made
forward in Virginia, in the employment of
a woman physician for the female insane at
our asylum. He said he hoped the move
ment would never stop till there was a
woman physician for the female insane in
every Asylum, not only in this State but in
all the States.

No Politics IN it.

Some of our State contemporaries speak
of an "Independent' being elected in
Staunton Thursday over a. Democrat.
There was no political contest anywhere
in the election. The Democratic City
Committee had declined to call primary
and it's action was acquiesced in afterwards
by a large meeting of Democratic voters
at the Skating Rink. 1t was a race free
to all corners, as may be judged from
the fact that while Staunton is Dem
ocratic by anywhere from 100 to $50,
among those elected by Democratic voters
Thursday were Prohibition Mayor, who
is Chairman of the Prohibition State Exec
utive Committee; Prohibition Justice of
the Peace; two Republican Councilmen; a
Republican Justice of the Peace, and the
remaining nineteen men elected to the va
rious offices were Democrats. An old po-
litlcal stager remarked: we been in pol
itics for forty years, and this was the most
curious election [ ever saw. Republicans
voted for Democrats; Democrats voted for
Republicans; Saloon Keepers voted for Pro-
hibitionists, and Temperance men voted
for Saloon Keepers"

The Curtis Habeas Corpus In Indiana.

HOW IT CAME THAT e. X. CURTIS CAk-
RIED HIS CHILD TO INDIANA-MADAM
DEMOREsT OF N. Y, AIDING THE ABB
DUCTION, sc. sc.
The writ of habeas corpus sued out by
Mrs. Lucy Curtis, of Starmton, formerly
Miss Hook of Highland, J for the recovery
OF her child from the custody Of p. K.
Curtis it's father, who eloped from Staun-
ton with it in 1888, came up for hearing in
the Superior Court in Lafayette Indiana,
on Friday morning last. U. S. District
Attorney VIM. E. Craig, and B. A. Blake
more, a witness from Staunton, arrived
there Thursday night. J. l.. Hutchens,
another witness has left Staunton for
Lafayette, as has G. A. Hutchinson High
Constable Of Staunton. The Lafayette
Courier of Friday afternoon says:
At 8 o'clock this morning the Curtis habeas
corpus proceedings were resumed in the Supe-
rior court, and will probably continue for
over a week. The attorneys for Mrs Lucy
Staunton, Virginia, in her interest for the
possession of her little daughter, Nellie Cur
tbs. The dispositions of evidence of quite a
number of witnesses were taken. These set
forth that the mother is the proper person to
have charge and care for little Nellie. The
evidence in the dispositions is very emphatic
in favor of the mother. Col. DeHart and j.
G. Davidson, counsel for x. B. Curtis, father
of the child, have occupied a greater part of
the day in making motions to strike out parts
of the evidence in dispositions on the usual
grounds of immateriality AS to how the
father and his mother came to select Lafay-
cite for their residence with little Nellie is
known by only few. A man and wife re-
siding in Lafayette have for several years
who is an aunt of Mr. Curtis. The lady nam
ed is the publisher OF the Demorest Magazine
and the name Of the little girl is Nellie Dem
crest Curtis. Madam Demorest has never
heard but the side Of the story as told by the
is understood, has given pretty freely for the
support of little Nellie When the trouble
arose between Curtis and his wife, Madam
Demorest, it is said, correspondent. with the
was selected as the place OF refuge, and con-
sequently little Nellie was brought here.
The Gazette of Saturday further reports
that :
This morning,th Curtis habeas corpus case
was resumed in the Superior court, and seve-
raj witnesses were examined. record was
introduced from White county showing that
K. 3. Curtis, father of little Nellie, in 1877,
was arrested on the charge OF asSaultlng a
pleaded guilty to the charge OF assault and
battery, and on that alone was fined. The
court sustained the motion to strike out the
record and the plaintiffs attorneys noted
their exceptions. This was the feature of the
evidence this morning and all the afternoon
has been occupied in submitting the deposit
lions secured for the defense and the motions
of the plaintiffs counsel to strike out portions
of the evidence. The case will probably con-
tinue nearly all of next week.
