Under the pretext Of beating his little
girl because she would not "eat SOUP a
Chicago man almost killed child of 9
years with heavy whip. Upon investiga-
tion by the Humane Society the incident
developed a story Of inhuman craft and
greed that is almost beyond belief. When
the man was arrested he reluctantly ac-
knowledged that he had beaten the child
at the instance of his second wife. Pre-
viously he had grown ashamed Of his bru-
tality and abandoned the woman to avoid
further goading to ill-treat his children. But
she had persuaded him to return under
promises of kindness toward the little ones
only TO renew her former conduct. All of
this inhumanity appears 90 have been in
spired by the woman's desire to get $l,4OO
left the children by their mother. Unless
the children died the father could not get
it. Hence the woman's cruel craft. By
this means she got them out Of the way 80
that her husband should get the money and
then she could compel him to give it to her
on pain OF exposure Of his crime even
though the law did not at once imprison
him. Shrewd scheme. Quite worthy Of q
penny dreadful novel.

Here's At the Big Hat.

Though the opposition to the big hat of
womankind at the theater has long bsen a
troubled wall it has never before got into
the courts. Up to this time the wronged
spectator who was ruthlessly deprived of
the spectacle which he paid to see by the
barrfcade of hats placed before him has
vented his disappointment by gently swear
ing. But Pennsylvanian has eventually
lost all patience and gone to law about it
When Mr.. Henry Hilbert took the seat
that he recently paid for in the Berwick
opera house he found seated directly in
front Of him two sisters whose hats together
measured % by IS inches Of dense bruins
that completely shut of his view of the
stage. Though Mr.. Hilbert politely re.
quested them TO remove their hats they
only giggled and when he appealed to the
usher that important functionary assured
the wronged Mr.. Hilbert that the giggling
girls with che obtrusive hats were ''nice
ladies visiting the bank cashiers family"
So he thought it would be impolitic to re-
quest them officially TO remove their UNI
brageous hats.
Consequently Mr.. Hilbert failed to see
the show that was then going on and he
now brings suit against the management to
recover his so cents that was rapaciously
scooped In upon the false and fraudulent
pretext that the plaintiff should see the
show, or at least the stage" on which 1t was
supposed to proceed.
Really there is no apparent reason why a
woman should not be quito happy with her
hat of In the theater. Adopting such a
plan would have a wholesome tendency to
strengthen the Christian religion. To this
eud the theaters should be required by law
to set apart a space sufficiently large for a
woman to take off her hat and also
provided with a sufficiently vast area
OF shelving space to lay them all on
while the fair ones are seeing the show. Such
a toilet room would really be In the nature
of a marked advancement in the plan of
salvation and the progress of civilization.
Then every woman should be rigidly re-
quired to leave her hat In this convenient
receptacle where she should get check for
it and have the use Of a mirror TO put it on
straight again.
Meanwhile the fashionable world will un-
doubtediy follow the legal adventures of
Mr.. Hilbert with the most absorbing In
perest and attention.

Cheerfulnees Peculiar to Christmas.
Whatever of amiability and benevolencs
as well as good fellowship there may be in
the nature Of any one is usually brought
out by the time-honored festivities of
Christmas. Possibly the most thoughtful
and learned Of our scholars and philosophers
would be utterly at a loss to explain why
this Is SO even IL they should try. Never
theless It Is generally acknowledged 70 be
true.
Those OF religious turn OF mind would
probably regard it as the visible manifesta-
ton Of the impalpable influence exerted by
the recurring of the anniversary of the
birth Of our Savior. Very likely they
would maintain that it is intended to inn
press upon mankind the authenticity OF
that great event in the history Of the world.
This view they might further sustain by
the origin of our holiday" IN the words
holy day" and the ancient custom Of re-
garding holidays as occasions for devotional
exercises instead Of seasons for gsyety and
rejoicing.
But the cold-blooded and calculating
physicians Of philosophy will with equal
confidence undertake to account for the
sudden ebullition Of cheerfulness at this par
ticular season of the year upon the logical
hypothesis Of the storage Of forces. They
will probably argue that the accumulated
hopes and anticipetions of whole year find
vent just at this time In an outburst of the
unrestrsined exuberance Of the healthy
and normally happy and by process Of in
lection extends its auimating influence to
those who are unhealthy and less happy.
Therein it certainly exercises a beneficial
effect upon all mankind Whether the de-
auctions are ABSOLUTELY correct or not is a
matter of comparatively small Importance.
Yet the close observation OF such
phenomena constitutes an interesting study
at all times and we should all make it a
| point to see that those less favored than our
selves do not lack the revivifying influences
that good cheer and contentment bring
Should they fail to imbibe the prevailing
| spirit Of exhilaration 1t is quite safe to as
sumo that through physical or pecuniary
depression they lack the vitality 70 feel
cheerful There Is good place to offer a
friendly hand with something in it.
| Try not to be selfish. Be as happy as you
can in rational way and do what little you
may in order that others may also enjoy a

The Hutchinson's Island Contract.

TIE Hutchinson's Island Contract
It is not difficult to reach the conclusion
that the contract. by which the Middle
Georgia and Atlantic railroad obtained from
the city control of Hutchinson's Island. has
not been compiled with. It is doubtful il
the company expected to be able to comply
with It strictly, or II the council. or the
people OF the city, expected It to be. There
was considerable opposition to the contract
on the part OF the people when it was made,
because It was thought that the city had
received a very small compensation for a
very valuable piece Of property.
But the fact that the island had been a
source Of expense TO the city FOR years, and
promised TO continue to DO, prevented a
public protest against the contract.
1t was thought that the railroad
company would at least keep tho island in
good sanitary condition, and that it might
improve it and utilize it in the way it pro-
posed. 1t was argued that the city would
be the gamer IL the railroad company kept
that part Of its contract relating to the
sanitary condition of the island
1t is probable that the railroad company
has done all that it agreed to do SO far as
the condition of the island Is concerned.
At least there have been no complaints
that the health Of the city is endangered by
the island. But the other part Of the con-
tract-the part that requires the building
Of number OF miles Of raiIroad-has not
been complied with.
Hutchison's Island is a much more valua-
BILE property than 1t was when the con-
tract was made. This increase In its
value is due TO Savannah's improved
prospects and growing prosperity. The
efforts in behalf Of deeper water in her har-
Dor and the certainty that she will become
the terminus of other railroads have greatly
increased the value Of all real estate within
her limits and her immediate vicinity.
The increased value Of the island, how
| ever, should not influence the council in the
least In its action with respect 60 the city's
contract with the railroad company. While
the company should be required to comply
with every important condition Of the con-
tract before being given title to the island
especially those conditions relating to the
| construction Of seventy miles of railroad
| leading out OF the city, and the building of
| bridge across the river-the interests Of
the city would suffer no injury IL the time
| for complying with the contract should be
| extended. The fact cannot be ignored that
the last year has not been a favorable one
for railroad building in Georgia. But no
loop-hoie should be loft by which the island
could be used to enrich spectators and Sa-
vannah left without the projected railroad

With all Of his distinguished army record
It must have cost Capt. Osborne more sut-
fering and called for more grim courage to
publicly acknowledge that his wife is a
thief than all of the hard fighting he ever
did 30 make al honorable reputation. But
that is what the captain was forced to do in
the London court when he Withdrew his
suit against the wife of Maj. Hargreaves
for slander In charging Mrs. Osborne with
stealing her diamonds while guest in the
house Of Mrs Hargreaves. ALI of this hui
initiation the soldier must bear simply be-
cause he was 80 unwise as to marry woman
who was as INSCRIPTIONS as she was vain
and frivolous. Some Of the worthiest aud
wisest Of MEN seem TO be utterly lacking in
Judgment in the very important matter OF
selecting wives worthy of them and adapted
TO the life they lead.
