An rIavored with Foo!ishness.

The latest idiocy in the way of tests of
endurance is that of sitting on ice. Two
or more lunatics engage in the rivalry, and
the one who can stand the cold the longest
gets the money. Quail eating, oyster eat
ing, whisky drinking and pie eating con-
tests are of every day occurrence, to say
nothing of fasting contests, where men lit
orally starve themselves almost to death.
The most senseiess craze of all, however, is
the latest, known as the sleep fast" The
first sleep fast, which lasted 16S hours, end
ed at Detroit. Mich, recently. Six con-
testants were entered, but the only one TO
stick it out was George Cunningham. This
sleep fast is a most dangerous experiment.
If man succeeds in coming through with
his intellect still balanced, his health is
necessarily shattered, at least for the time
being, and the chances are that he will
never be himself again.

MY MOTHERS MEMORY.

Ny mother died ere could scarce
Breathe her beloved name.
And DER my ehildh0od's sunny pan
Dark clouds Of sorrow came;
Ny bark Of life was wrecked upon
Misfortune's hidden reef,
And ere bright manhood on me dawned
had wept tears OF grief;
And now seek my mothers grave.
That not one soul may see
How dark the shadows are that threw
Their sonber hues DER me.
The birds are In the merry glen.
The April flowers bloom:
But their beauties leave to sit
Beside my mothers tomb;
And there watch. in solemn thought,
Some bright star in the sky.
And think within its depths see
My mothers gentle eye;
And happy dreams within me rfsa,
My sorrowing heart to cheer;
Ithink-although to me unseen
Her loving spirits near.
I mix among my fellow men.
Within the marts of trade;
But. all, my mind is far away
Beneath the Willows shade;
And though the world has many charms
Which other hearts may see.
BY far the brightest of them all
Possess NO joys for me.

Their Father Trying to Keep Them
From Their Mother.
CHICAGO, April 2O.-A special from
Springfield, o.. says: 1.-The mystery sur
rounding probably the most sensational
case Of child stealing since the Charley
Ross affair has just been solved by the ar
rest Of Miss Ellie Cutler, Miss Bruner, Mrs
Bachelor and Ellen Talbot on a charge Of
stealing the Niles children at the instiga-
ton of their father, Dr. Niles. The story
of the stealing reads more like roman ce
than sober reality. DR.. and Mrs. Niles have
been fighting in court for the custody of tho
children for some time. Three weeks ago,
on the eve of a decision of gthe court,
the children were stolen and could not be
found. Miss Ellen Talbot, a dressmaker,
has confessed that she hired horse and
buggy and stole the children at 5
O'clock il the morning from the
house where the sheriff had placed
them for safe keeping, and drove them
twenty miles to lonely country place be-
longing to Mr.. and Mrs Cutler. There
they were kept in secret, and allow ed to see
no one. Miss Talbot further confessed that
about week after she again went into the
country and visited the house where the
children were confined. They were taken
into room, and the light-haired boys,
Paul and Louis, aged respectively IA months
and years, were shorn OF their curls.
Some powerful hair dye was then applied
and their hair became deep black. They
were then dressed in suits Of girls clothing,
which Miss Talbot took out for the pur-
pose, completing the disguises.
TAKEN TO MICHIGAN.
1.-THE children were then taken to Pitts
burg, and finally to little town in Michi-
gan howell, Livingston county,. The
Cutters were to get $40 for stealing and TAX
ing care OF the children. The father was
arrested and lodged in Jail on a charge Of
child stealing, as he is said to have planned
the whole scheme 1t is believed by the
lawyers and detectives engaged in the case
that the offense is clearly comprehended
under the Ohio statute on kidnapping or
child stealing, for which the punish
ment is from one to twenty years
in the penitentlary. DR.. Niles has had the
children stolen, it is claimed, because it was
generally thought that the courts would
give them to his wife, and she threatened
to put them in a convent, to which he was
violently opposed. Miss Bruner and Mrs.
Batcheller we're arrested last night for
completely in the kidnapping case. Mrs
Batcheller is the clearinghouse keeper
with whom the children were left for safe
keeping. The sheriff has received a tele-
gram from Michigan, saying that the chill
dren will soon be returned"

TOWNSVILLE, GA, April Go. L.
Smith, of the Thompson faction of the
Augusta and West Florida railroad has
been in the city for several days, asking
subscribers TO the above named road to
cancel their subscriptions. Nearly every
subscriber in this city has done this, as there
seemed to be no valid reason why they
should not. Mr.. Smith says 1t is the pur-
pose of Jesse Thompson TO form a new
company Immediately, which will push the
road to completion. All arrangements to
this end, he says, are complete, 1t may not
be generally known, or at least believed,

Mr. Thompson, except a few DAYS
that they struck, but such is the case. One
hundred men are now at work. The road
has been graded thirty-fve miles from Au-
gusta in the direction of Midwife, on the
Central. There remains q gap of only
seventeen miles TO reach Midwife. On this
gap the men are now working. By Aug.
Is this line will have cars running from
Augusta to Midwife. From Midwife to
Swainsboro is twenty miles, and thence
to Triton via McRae, about 100 miles. A
road is already built from Midwife to
Swainsboro, and II. II. Tiff is building a
road from Triton toward McRae, which
line will go in as part of the through line.
