"COME HOME TO DIE"
A Pathetic Scene Between a PrOdigal
Son and Loving Mother.

A PRoDIGAL BOY returned home the other
day. He had left the good old county Of
Cobb years ago, because he fretted under
home restraints. He thought there was
more liberty in the west He went forth
aud began to sow wild oats. He sowed q
big crop and reaped big harvest Of sin
He got into the courts several times and
was hard pressed for money often and re>
sorted to questionable means to obtain it..
Exposure brought disease, and he conclu>
ded that the hacking cough would soon
bring him to the coffin, and he thought of
home and mother. He has come back.
The mothers eyes were washed in tears as
she beheld her hayward boy. He greeted
her with the warmth OF old time affection
and deep repentance. Il have come back
home to die, motherri he said. But he is
not going to die. There is inspiration and
strength in mothers tender touch aud
loving caress, and the genial surroundings
and the healthful climate of Cobb county
will soon restore his lost energies to res
newed vigor and health, and the boy will
be better man In the future. There is
no place like home.

STEALING FLOWERS
From the Graves In City Cemetery,
Complaints Made.

FREQUENT complaints are made that some
persons who visit the city cemetery on
Sundays rob the graves OF flowers. We
can hardly conceive how any ore with re.
fined sensibilities could thus vantonly do
such thing. 1t is not only in bad taste,
but it partakes of crime These who have
gone to the trouble and expense OF putting
flowers on the graves OF their precious
dead. feel deeply mortified to find that un.
feeling persons would thus desecrate the
last resting places of their loved ones.
Parties hold deeds to their cemetery lots,
and persons have no mora right to trespass
and rob the graves OF flowers, than they
would have to enter private yards and take
flowers without the asking; in fact it would
be in better taste for them to do the latter
than the former. We hope this ghouisn
practice will he stopped by the thoughtless
ones who have heretofore so acted.

WHY DID HE PAUSE!
The ElOquence Of a Marietta Orator
Electrifles an Audience.

The following is related as speech de.
livered by young man at a meeting in
this place, which is vouched for by one OF
our citizens. One gentleman had Just made
speech, when another responded by say
ing the speaker had echoed his sentiments.
The young man very solemnly rose to his
feet. All eyes were turned upon him.
This was the time when he expected of all
others to make sensation by his orators
cal powers. With magnificent mien, he
exclaimed; "Mr. President, then feel,
ing that he had been recognized by the
chair, he continued; Il pause! Why do
pause 2 Then he turned his head TO
one side and coughed and came back at
the President: Again, / ask, why do I
pause? This was too much for the Pres;>
dent, and he gave up the conundrum as
one he could not solve. The young man
continued to pause by taking his seat amid
the deafening applause OF an appreciative
audience.

A TERRIBLE EVIL,
What Our Attention Has Been Called
to as Existing Here.

THERE is no dependence to be put in a.
morphine or opium eater. They will tell
you anything that their Eighty imagination
can create, They are always quietly lets
ting 1t De known to few friends that they
are going to engage in this enterprise or
that, when in fact that they have neither
the financial ability or the confidence of
the public to back them. By plausible
tales and promises they dupe some trust
ing, generous persons and get into their
debt and that is the last of it. Men and
women are both addicted tc this baneful
evil. 1T is worse than whisky drinking,
because it soon induces the victim to use
whisky, laudanum or anything else to
stimulate them. Many men and women
In this fast age are becoming slaves to the
morphine habit. Disease and pain NAV
have been the cause of these poor people
becoming victims to the deadly dug that
robs them of will power and moral respon>
sibility. 1t is pitiful condition to be in.
We have had several persons of both sexes
pointed out to us in Marietta, who are
hopelessly addicted to the demoralizing
and fatal use of morphine. Mr.. Bob
Dempsey, now in Jail for stealing a cow, is
said to be slave to morphine. The jailor
showed us Scots. bottle OF morphine that
he HAD bought for Dempsey, who said that
he was in the habit of taking that much
morphine every day. His supply is now
being limited with quantity OF quinine
added. 1t is said by lessening the quanti-
ty of morphine daily and adding quinine,
until all quinine is administered, that the
taste for quinine causes revulsion, and
oftentimes cure is effected. This is be-
ing tried on Dempsey now.

FOSTER INDIGNANT
Did Not Say Irfshmen Were
 "Clam- Mouthed
SAYS IT IS A coTEMpT1BLE LIE.
He Holds Ireland And Her Sons ID The
 Greatest Esteem.

The Secretary Admires the Fine Phy-
 sique of the Irish Race, and is Glad of
 the Opportunity to Tell. what He Thinks
 OfThem-Says the Rsnsarlxs Were vIIeIy
 and Falsely Attributed to Him.
 LONDON, March 5.-In accordance with instructions from New York represen- tative of the International Telegram Company called upon Secretary Foster, of the United States Treasury Depart ment, and asked him as to the truth of the following statement alleged to have been made by him, in an Associated Press dispatch, published in the Assoc lated Press newspapers
 'sTake your clam-mouthed Irishman, with his wife and children, all in the rough; in few years he is absorbed, altered in physical appearance to rank with our best citizens, lead our munich palities, and, with 8 single generation, become one with the best American type"
 Upon hearing the statement, ISecre- tary Foster showed the utmost indigna- tion.
 He said that it was too contemptible falsehood for him to notice, as he felt sure that no one in America or else where who knew him would think him capable of using such an expression re- garding the Irish race. It astonished him. he declared, that any press asso- citation that had a reputation to lose should descend to such a depth as to misrepresent public man. Such con- duct on the part of the Associated Press was too outrageous for calm and delib- crate comment.
 His friends of Irish origin knew the esteem in which he held both Ireland and her sons; and his sense, which he shared with every true hearted Ameri- can, of their services to America from the time of the War of Independence to the present day.
 He had too great an admiration for the fine physique of the Irish race to think for a memt of rehecting upon it by any such remark as was vilely and falsely attributed to him. He conld hardly expect the justice of denial from as ource capable of So mis- representing him. and he thanked the h. ternational Telegram representative for giving him the opportunity to express | his mind. At the request at the Inter natl T Telegram representative Secre- tary t oster then put his denial in writ ing, as follows:
 IT never used, in any interview, or on any occasion, the term clam-mouthed Irishmen,' or any term or designation even remotely resembling such an ex- pression, nor have used in any inter- view or on any occasion, any expressio on of any kind derogatory to the Irish race.

Wilson, after considerable argument. convinced them that an audience does not wish what it has not paid for.
 But they encored us more than they did you, popper," said Adelaide, as she nestled more closely in her fathers arms-and MT. Wilson ceased to argue.
 Marion Manola must have married MT. Mould when at 8 very tender age, for her daughter Adelaide is now 8 healthy girl of some twelve years. Adelaide promises to be even more beautiful than her mother; her grace full brown hair falls in luxurious folds about her oval face, and the large, dark eyes shine with animation as she discusses her mother, who is always her constant friend and companion.
 'I never like mamma to play boys parts," she once said, "because, you know, it is so unladylike. Mamma rarely allows me to go to the theatcr for fear that I shall become stage struck; but I always go to see her, and when we come home I tell mamma all her faults. She says am her best critic and the only one she pays any attention to. Some day, if mamma thinks I will make good ac- tress. I shall go on the stage, but am sure mamma will never think so, for she does not wish me to be an actress"
 Adelaide is a charming little dancer and inherits strong dramatic ability. She and her mother live in pretty cot tage at Larchmont during the summer,

where.
 When the children are all at home the house is too small for them. Ethel and Jack usually write tbc plays performed by the little family of comedians.
 Ethel is beautiful girl, with a sweet, olive face and great brown eyes; her soft, silky hair is of the same shade. Lionel, the eldest, is about fourteen; he is a manly, dignified fellow and al- ready a companion to his father; an artist to the tips of his fingers, he can make up as well as @uV member of the family.
 Jack is the pictui . ukAis father, and is of generous, waXnehearted disposi- ton. He takes special pride in his little cousin Bebee, who is his constant playmate and companion.
 Francis Wilson turned Benedict many years ago. It is fully decade since he married one of the Barrie sisters, who forthwith retired from the operatic stage and turned her attention to rear ing a family, with such success that she is now the fond mother of two little girls-Frances, aged seven, and Adel- aide, five.
 Frances is quiet, demure little soul and takes after her mother, except when she and her sister repair to the little theater their father has built them in the attic of his house in New Rochelle. Here Miss Frances puts aside her dignity and dances as gracefully as though she were brought up on the stage. But it is Adelaide who is the comedienne; like her father in face, form and feature, every movement of her head or word she utters convulses her audience with laughter. Together these two romp and play at acting all day long. They have often seen their father on the stage and usually select one of his operas for production, which they rehearse until they consider them selves letter perfect in the roles as- sumed by Miss Jansen and MT. Wilson. Then some bright morning papa is in vited upstairs to witness dress re- | hearsal.
 Once these tots had a box at the theater and when the company sang | they joined in, to the delight of the audience, who were charmed with the manner in which the little volunteers led the opera. Of course, they never repeated their performance, for Mir.

 Ireland.

The Pope Charmed With ArchblshoD
 Ireland.
 ROME, March 5.--A sensation has been created in Church circles by the publica- tion in the "Moniteur De Roma,n of an article, four columns in length, direct from the Vatican, headed: 'tMonsignor Ireland and His Caluminators.
 It is known that the article is intended as answer, in behalf of the Pope, to the attacks upon Archbishop Ireland, of St. Paul, which have followed that prelate from America in his visit to Rome.
 The Archbishop has been received with the greatest favor by the Pope, who Is said to be charmed with his visitor, and to seriously mediate making him Cardi- nal of the United States.
 The assaults upon Archbishop Ireland appear to have originated in 8 difference of views as to his school policy, and to have become more acrid owing to the divergence between the American Arch :. bishops, with Archbishop Ireland as their secretary, and the lay committee appointed in connection with the pro- posed Catholic Congress at the Worlds Fair.
 The article professes to be an official and plenary defense of the Archbishop against'his adversaries, American, Ger man and Italian, and to be intended to silence, once for all, the passionate and contradictory attacks which have for some time been coming to Rome in 8 stormy cloud from various countries, upon the great American prairie who is now the guest, of che Pope.

most sumptuously furnished houses in New York-that is, when the child is not at the Sacred Heart convent, where she is being educated.
 She comes home every Friday night and remains until Monday morning. Treated like a little princess, she and mamma dine at the great mahogany table, while liveried servants stand be- hind the chair of each. After dinner Miss Russell always spends half an bour at the white enameled piano practicing her voice, and when she is through baby Lillian climbs up on the stool, her little fingers pass gently over the keys and the childish voice trills the song just sung. All goes well until the inexperi- enced fingers strike false note. The sensitive soul of the child is troubled at the discord, she tries again, and if she again meets failure this little bundle of nerves is apt to slide from her seat and burst into tears.
 A few nights ago the child stood in the wings of the stage watching her mother act. Never having seen the whole of the performance she did not know that in the last act there is a scene where Marton Miss Russell) visits her home, and is cast adrift in the snow by Der heartless sister and uncle. With breathless interest little Lillian watched the progress of the scene. To her it was real, and when mamma fell sinking in the snow the audience was

 All actors and actresses, it would seem, delight in making known their most private affairs, yet one rarely sees an interview with 8 well-known actress on the subject of her children.
 Actresses conceal their, maternity from the public, because they fear that theater-goers lose interest in a woman who is the mother Of a big, fat, bouncing boy, and, in deed, it does spoil the romance of a love scene to suddenly call to mind that the soubrette, who does not look day over sixteen, has a half grown son or daughter at home.
 Rosina Vokes has several grown chill dren, but she leaves them in England and rarely mentions their names in America. Quite different is Mrs. Ken dal, who glories in the fact that she is to bring out her eldest daughter during the coming season in London.
 Lillian Russell, however, would not disclaim her little girl for all the praise critics can bestow. Miss Russell and baby Lillian live together in one of tn

 ALBANY, N. Y, March 5.-At Cobleskill, in the county of Scoharie, there has been organized and Association of Hop Grow CTS of the of counties Schoharie and AL bany. These two counties are the larg- est hop-growing districts of the State, and early in the season are overrun by the agents of breweries and hop specu- lators.
 It is claimed by the growers that these dealers circulate false rumors about the supply and demand and nearly always to the detriment of the growers.
 At meeting here permenant organi zation was effected, and one of the by laws reads that the object of the organi- zation is the protection of hop growers against false reports concerning the sup ply and demand circulated by unprinci- pied dealers, and the collection of such information as is desirable in the in- terest of the growers, respecting the dis ease, vermin, culture, the best methods of producing hops and statistics relating to the crups, the condition of the noarkeb

The Body Found in the Vault of an
 OuthOuse.
 PoUGHKEEPsIE, N. Y., March 5.-David Record and Andrew Biesmer have been arrested in this city, charged with re- volting misdemeanor.
 On Saturday Records wife gave birth to a daughter. The child lived only five hours. Dr. Lane, who attended the woman, gave certificate of death and thought no more of the matter. Last night the body was found in the vault of an outhouse on Main street.
 The police arrested Andrew Biesmer, who confessed that Record had given him box containing the body and told him to get rid of it, which he did by dropping it into the vault. The only motive for the act seems to have been 8 desire to save the expense of proper burial.
 Knowledge of the whole affair has been kept from the mother, who supposes that her baby is buried in the cemetery at Glove Valley, N, Y, where she came from. Record was formerly in the sa loon business here.
 The prisoners were paroled on a charge of misdemeanor, as there is yet no proof of any greater crime.
