RIGHTS OF PARENTS.
Seizures Of Children by a Home Con-
demned by Judge.

Seizures Of Children by a Home Con-
demned by Judge.
ATLANTA. GA, Aug. 27.-Judge Mar
shall J. Clarke in two separate cases Of
similar nature to-day rendered decisions
and delivered himself Of opinions which
will have al important effect upon one of
the leading charitable institutions Of this
city. Plainly speaking, the judge set down
upon the institution, the home for the
friendleSs, with unmistakable emphasis.
For a year past the home had made itself
conspicuous by the number of children
which it has taken away from their parents
because those who conducted the institution
believed the parents so deprived were NOT
morally fit 60 have control of the children,
HELPED By TIE POLICE.
The police department has exerted itself
IN assisting in this work. and as a result Of
the rather hign-handed authority Of the
two combined many children have been
forcibly taken away from their parents and
placed in other homes To-day two cases
OF this kind were before Judge Clarke OF
the superior court Several days ago
little Nettie Patterson, the 5-year-
old daughter Of the woman whose
throat was cut by her husband In Grant
park, where he found her in company With
a well-known member of the legislature,
was taken out OF the house occupied by her
mother. The agents OF the home had dis
covered that the mother was using the child
in a most unnatural way. making her drunk,
and then forcing her to make an exhibition
Of herself for the amusement of a crowd OF
maudlin men.
AN UECLE's OFFER.
The chiId's uncle came forward and
offered to take her into his home in Cobb
county and rear her the same as one Of his
own children, but the home refused to give
the little one up until the case was taken
before Judge Clarke. The Judge promptly
delivered the little girl 20 her uncle. and in
doing so held that the home had no more
right to deprive the parents Of their children
than an individual. This ruling OF the court
was a surprise, as heretofore the institution
has had things all its own way in such cases.
In another case that was heard dnrisa
the day the Judge made a similar decision,
returning the child to Its mother. In this
case the child had been taken from its
mother by City Detective Grim, acting al
the request of the officers OF the home. The
mother took out writ of habeas corpus,
but Grim failed to bring the child into court.
THE DETECTIVE JAILED.
Judge Clarke promptly committed the de-
tective to jail for contempt aud kept him
there until he had the child produced in
court, when be was released, the little one
being returned to its mother, as stated.
Judge Clarke in rendering this decision
characterized the work Of the home, as
sisted by the police, in depriving parents Of
their children before the law had had its
course, as an outrage. He further stated
he would bring the case to the attention OF
the grand Jury. Public interest has been
aroused and further Developments are
looked for with interest,

FORBIDDEN sECRET SOCIETIES.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, May 2d.-A letter
has just been issued by Archbishop
Katber to the priests of his diocese, rel
ative to the position to be taken by
them in regard to membership in secret
organizations. He declares that Masons
and Carbonari are communicated and
that 1.-THE Odd Fellows and Sons of Tenn
perance are at least by name and ex-
pressly forbidden"
He also says that Anarchists, Com
munists, Socialists and Turner'S, who are
allied to the society known under the
general title of "Turnerbund, come I'M
der the class which the Roman Catholic
church communicates. Moreover, all
societies which claim for themselves a
priest or chaplain, or worship on their
own authority, with their own special
ritual and ceremonies, are implicitly ex-
communicated. These remarks do not
apply to the reciting of prayers at public
gatherings.
Under pain of grieyous sin all Roman
Catholics are forbidden to join any soci-
ETY. which binds its members, either by
oath or by mere word of honor, to OBJ
serve the secret so strictly that it cannot
be revealed with impunity even to the
bishop of the diocese. Likewise, on pain
of grieyOus sin, are forbidden societies
which bind their members to blind and
unreserVed obedience.

am, YES WEEPING JOURNEY.

A nesonal friend of Bill Nye, the hui
mo,.;st, who asked that his name be not
mrntioned, yesterday told correspond
mt of New York paper a touching lit
tie story of an incident in Bill Nye's
life.
"For long time after Bill was mar
RED" he said, che was very poor and
had hard work keeping the wolf from
the door, but at last his worth was recog-
nized, and he began to reap the reward
he so well deserved at the public's hands.
He was on lecture tour, and as its sue
cess was much greater than he had an
ticipated, he wrote to Mrs. Nye to come
to him and take her wedding tour, for
when Bill was married he could not af-
ford that luxury. She telegraphed that
she would join him at once, and set out
to do so, her journey being one of two
days, as he was in the West, somewhere
beyond Chicago. Two hours before the
train was due at the little town where
she was to join her husband he received
a despatch saying that both his children
had been stricken down with scarlet
fever, and had been moved to an isolat-
ed house, a mile or so from their home,
where they would receive proper atten-
ton, but could not be seen by their par
ents. 1t was great shock to Bill, and
all he could do when his wife arrived
was to take her aside and tell her the sad
news. They took the first train back,
and for several weeks Bill remained at
home with her, both suffering terrible
anxiety, as the children were desperate
ly ill. AS soon as they were able to lis
ten to the reading, the little ones got
letter every morning from their father,
telling of the wonderful things he and
their mother were seeing out West, thus
not letting the youngsters know that
their mothers wedding journey, in
which they had taken a vast deal of in
terest, had been broken up by their sud
den illness. Bills unlimited magma
ton made the letter writing an easy task
and their daily arrival kept the children
in such good humor that when the
turning point was reached, and they be-
gan to mend, they did so at rate that
astonished the doctor in charge of their
case. Subsequently Mrs. Nye had her
wedding journey."-ChicGgo Mail.

relief, thinking Funk would surely slow
up for the bridge. But he didn't. In
fact, he seemed to give the lever an ex-
ira notch or two, and all of a sudden the
bend and the bridge were struck. There
was afearful jar that seemed to tear the
car apart. President Ives keeled over in
his chair and landed on Passenger Agent
Hannegan. General Freight Agent UT,
who was thrown into a corner, lay still
and drew on the resources of choice
and rich vocabulary of profanity. Chief
Engineer White and Charlie Ives were
almost inextricably mixed up, but the
chief engineer was the first man to I'M
ravel himself, and grabbing for the bell
cord, pulled it like man who has come
home from the club at a. IN. and finds
the door-be won't respond.
"I'll bet that bridge has been knocked
two feet out of line," shouted the eX-
cited engineer.
The rest of the party scoffed at the
idea. 'Well, then let's run back and
see," said the chief engineer. II tell
you that bridge is at least two feet out
of plumb, and I'll bet a months salary
on it."
The train was brought to a standstill
and then ran back to the bridge. Reach
ing there the whole party disembarked
and the engineer produced foot rule.
The bridge had been moved bodily by
the force of the blow-not so much as
Mr.. White had said, but by good seven
inches, as was proved by actual meas
urement. Nobody pretends to say how
fast that train was run, but everybody
on board is willing to swear the record
has never been broken, and the time
made was faster than President Ives
ever wants to travel again.-Ceddr

CUTTING THE TREES.
A Strong Proteat Sent to the District Com.
missioners on the Subject.

A Strong PrOteat Sent to the District Com
missioners on the Subject
The following letter from Mr.. R. q. Piper
has been received by the Commissioners:
"As you have jurisdiction over the streets of
the city allow me to ask you to call halt in
regard to the reckless cutting of the trees which
is now going on here. We certainly want all
the shade we can get during the summer time,
both as a matter Of comfort and as respects the
public health.
"As to the health and life Of the trees them
selves, no fact in vegetable physiology is better
established than that growing tree branches
draw on the vitality OF the tree
with much less force than does the
development of the latent wood buds left after
the barbarous work seen on great number of
Der Of these mutilated trees will certainly die.
Almost in front of my house two trees have
already died from this cause, and another still
standing is almost dead.
Let me also ask you to consider that in all
this broad land as far as known, except in one
little town in the interior of Ohio, has any
such vandal work been done. Surely all wig
dom on the subject cannot be contained in the
heads Of one or two men.
you will remember that DIR. johnson said
that all Scotland could scarcely show a tree
large enough to make q walking stick This
might be the reason why Scotch gardener
might wish to reduce the size or form of the
trees of this city to those of old Scotia
ALLOW me to say gentlemen, that 1 have
been across the continent six times, from the
Atlantic to the Pacific, and that | have made
the study of trees a specially, both an ar
fist and as scientist. and also practically, and
the work done in this city in the destruction
OF trees seems to me the result of strange
sort of mental alteration.
Il have been told today that the amount of
wood cut from the trees in this city, like that
from other public grounds i'll other parts OF the
country, Is no small inducement for doing this
vandal work. At the present rate of destruction
this city. instead Of being city OF trees, will
soon become city OF stumps."
