Seeking Notorlety.

Ministers of the gospel appear to be as
eager in their search for notoriety as any
other class of men. Some Of the New York
ministers envy. apparently, DR.. Park
hurst, the minister who has come
into such prominence within the
last few weeks by his visits to resorts of
vice, for the notoriety he has obtained. Quite
a large number of them have either con-
demned or commended. through the news
papers, the course of DIR. Parkhurst. and
one of them, DR.. Benjamin r. De Costa,
has gone so far as to make an appeal to the
Judge. before whom the case Of Hattie
Adams was tried, to be lenient to the
Adams woman in passing sentence upon
her, saying in his letter 20 the judge that
'she is better than some of her accusers.n
The method adopted by DR.. Parkhurst to
get evidence against those guilty Of crime
cannot be successfully defended. but it will
hardly be doubted by fair-minded men that
he was influenced by good motives. 1t is
extremely unjust, therefore, for minister
of 80 high standing as DR.. De Costa to say
that he is no better than the woman whose
conviction he secured.
In attacking DIR. Parkhurst and defend
ing the Adams woman. DR.. De Costa could
hardly have had any other motive than TO
bring himself into prominence, unless he
lacks reasonable amount of common
sense. Some Of his brother ministers do
not hesitate to say they believe
in making himself the champion of
the Adams woman his motive is
to call attention to himself. That he
knew absolutely nothing of the merits Of
the case in which he has thrust himself is
shown by his note to the district attorney.
In that note he asked the district attorney
to forward the letter TO the judge, because
he did not know, he said, the name of the
judge and, hence, could not forward it him
self.
DIR. DeCosts must have a very poor
memory or else does not know enough
about the case to justify him in writing
letter to the judge about it. The judges
name was constantly appearing in the
newspapers in connection with the report of
the trial Of the Adams woman, and
if he read anything about the
trial at all he must have
seen tho name of the judge many times.
The statement that he did not know it is
equivalent to an admission that he knows
nothing Of the matter concerning which he
wrote 50 glibly to the chief officer of the
court. 1t was extremely presHmptuous,
therefore, for him to declare that the Adams
woman "is better that some of her accusers."
How does he know she is2 He is, of course,
entitled to his opinion that she is, but he has
no right to become her champion unless he
has proof that will satisfy his friends that
she is an innocent victim Of DR.. Parkhurst's
puritan zeal.

Mr.. Grstehar,a Son philin.

My friend Walter Gratebar." said Mr.. Stay
bolt to a New York Sun man, seems to think
that his son Philip, who has Just turned II, is a
remarkable boy. Mr.. Gratebar lives in the
suburbs in house which has a slate roof. IL
appears that In the course of some repairs to
the roof last fall many small fragments of slate
we're scattered about on the ground. When
the time came to clean up around and roll the
lawn this spring it occurred to Mr.. Gratebar that
those bits Of slate ought to be picked up. He
hadn't lived in the country long. but he had
lived there long enough TO know thaS grass
wouldnt grow through slate. After picking up
about 200 pieces himself, and finding that it was
back breaking work, Mr.. Gratebar thought he
had better get Philip to pick up the rest; so he
talked IL over with him one night at dinner, aad
Philip undertook, in consideration Of the sum
OF 10 cents, to clean up the remaining slate on
the following day. It was understood that all
the money was to be withheld until the compile
tlon CT the work. and that the work must
De done to Mr.. Gratebar's entire satisfaction.
When Mr.. Gratebar started for town next morn
ing ne found Philip on the lawn knocking
base ball about with great earnestness. George
aged :, and Clara aged 5. with an old grape
basket With them, were laboriously digging out
and picking up the scraps of slate. 'How's
this, Philip" said Mr.. Gratebar. I thought
hired you to PICK up that slate you did
sa!d Philip, and I'm doing it. Don't disturb
yourself. III attend to it, That night when
Mr.. Gratebar got home he found that the work
had been carefully and thoroughly done. There
was no ground upon which he could withhold
payment. Bot, he said to Philip I hired you
70 do that work, and you seem TO have got
George and Clara to do it, 4 sublet the con-
tract said Philip and when l get the money
I'm going to pay George and Clara a nickel
apiece. See? Mr.. Grate6ar did see. and he
paid over the money cheerfuly; and he didn't
hesitate to say to Mrs. GrRtebar after the
youthful contractor had gone to bed that he
thought Philip was great boy.

rha Atlanta Proeramme.

| Senator Hill has some very shrewd poll
| ticiaus in Atlanta and elsewhere in Georgia
working for him. They are leaving no
means untried to get a delegation from
this state that will be favorable to. him.
In the beginning Of the canvass for dele
gates they announced that he would get
the delegation without any trouble. They
relied upon the dissatisfaction that Mr. /.
! Cleveland's letter against the free coinage
of silver had produced among alliancemen
to make it easy to elect Hill delegates in
near y all the counties.
They found, however, that the opposition
Of alliancemen to Mr.. Cleveland was not
quite SO strong as they thought it was, and
they were not able to convince alliancemen
that Senator Hill was in favor Of the free
coinage Of silver, although they tried very
hard to do so. Their plan. therefore, to
sweep the state for Hill failed.
More than two thirds OF the counties have
now elected delegates TO the state conven-
ton, and there is good reason for thinking
that majority of the delegates. when all
are elected, will be for Mr.. Cleveland. 1t
is a well-known fact that in this part Of che
state nearly all of the counties have chosen
delegates who favor the nomination of Mr.
Cleveland.
The Hill organ in Atlanta claims that the
state convention will be a Hill convention.
1t is quite safe to say however, that It has
not the utmost confidence in its own stats
ment. II it had it would not be continually
insisting that an uninstructed delegation
should be sent to Chicago. II it was con-
fident Of Senator Hills strength it
would say nothing relative to in
structing the delegation. 1t knows
very well that if the Hill men control the
convention they can elect a Hill delegation
and instruct it or not as they please. The
fact that they are continually asserting
that the delegation ought not to be in
structed is pretty good evidence that they
have no confidence in their ability to pre-
vent instructions, and they are afraid of
instructions because they know il they are
given they will not be for Senator Hill.
1t is pretty clear that they believe Mr..
Cleveland's friends will control the conven-
ton, and that they hope to get Hill dele
cation by naming for delegates popular
men who can be depended upon to support
Senator Hill If he has chance for the
nomination, and to follow his lead if he has
no chance for it. They don't want the dele
CATION instructed, because instructions
would be for Mr.. Cleveland, and would,
therefore, defeat their purpose.
Notwithstanding the fact that Senator
Hill has the wire-pulling politicians work.
ing for him, the Cleveland men in the con-
veution will be able to look out for Mr..
Cleveland's interests. They will know
pretty certainly before the convention
assemblies whether or not the Cleveland
men are in the majority, and if they are it
can be stated confidently that either
Cleveland delegation will be chosen or in
structions for Mr.. Cleveland will be given.

SHINING bal Borrowed Plumes.

Occasionally the community OF interest which
springs up among the tenants of an apartment
house is very delightful. says the New York
Times In one of those large structures up town
lives gay band of artists and musicians under
the protecting care of a wise woman, who is the
mother of two of them, Not long ago they de-
cded to hold musicale. The lady in the OPP
posite apartment was the happy possessor of
several very handsome palms. and, with neigh
borly intent, she offered them, to give an added
beauty TO the rooms on the occasion. The offer
was accepted and the floral treasures duly trans
ferred. About 10 o'clock the morning following
the musicale friend made an early call on the
hostess of the evening before. Almost her first
ejaculation was: "How lovely you are here
Such beautiful apartment, and what lovely
palms! Aren't you fortunate" She had
scarcely spoken when rap sounded at the door
and the servant of the family opposite stepped
in, saying: Mrs. says if you have done
with the palms may take them back now. =
The situation was comical but was saved from
awkwardness by the caller, who looked up,
rolled her eyes mischievously and asked:
when will the man come for the furniture?''
