EDWARD P. DEACON.
He Wants an Absolute Devorce
From His Wife.
If Mrs. Deacon 10 Found Guilty She VIII
Be Liable.to Fine and Imprison-
ment.

Special to the af-Chroniclel
AK, France, Dec, 8.-The appeal
OF Edward Parker Deacon for an
absolute divorce comes up In the
court to-day, aud in view of the vic
tory achieved by Mrs. Deacon in the
Court of Appeals, the action OF her
attorneys today is looked forward to
with unusual interest. The large
influence of the Abeille family
is used in every direction for Mrs.
Deacon, and they will do every
thing to save her from the conse-
quences of the action her husband
has brought against her for the Grim.
inal relations with Abeille.. Should
Mrs. Deacon be found guilty Of this
charge she would be liable to impris-
onment or fine or 10th. With refer
ence to the charge against Mr.. Dea-
con, that he subsidized certain jour-
mails, current rumor has it that the
Abeille family spent 100000 francs TO
obtain Mr.. Deacon's conviction, and
that of this sum 10000 francs
were spent in procuring articles
hostile TO him 10 be published
in French newspapers. Mr.. Dea-
cons lawyer, Maitre Clunot, the
highest authority in France on Inter-
national law, proved to the court
that French tribunals have no jurls-
diction over foreigners In divorce
cases unless both parties to the suit
consent to submit to.the French law.
The judges of the Tribunal OF the
Seine admitted the correctness of
this contention and volunteered to
give Mr.. Deacon the custody of all
the children if he 80 desired. This
done the presiding judge read Mrs.
Deacon lesson on propriety, which
made her 30 angry that she ran
out of court without hearing
the end Of it. She at once proceeded
to the Convent OF Our Lady of the
Assumption and abducted her eldest
daughter, Gladys, and has thus far
managed to secrete her from Mr..
Deacon. She appealed to the first
chamber Of the Court of Appeal
against the decision of the Tribunal
of the Seine, and her side of the case
Was ably presented by Haitre Bar
boux. 1t is supposed that she will
now obey the order of the Court and
replace the child in The Convent OF
Our Lady of the Assumption. The
judgment Of the first chamber of the
Court of Appeal remains in force
until judgment is pronounced on Mr..
Deacon's application for divorce.

Who Santa Claus Vas.

St. Nicholas, says the st. Louis GloJe
Democrat, was Bishop of Myra, il
Asia Minor, in the fourth century, anG
during his long and careful life de
voted himself in so eminent a degree t6
the service of the young that even be
fore he was gathered to his fathers his
services were invoked by mothers il
behalf of their offspring.
The "Lives of the Saints" are full Of
queer tales, but few are stranger than
those told of the Bishop of Myra.-
When he was born his nurse put him
in basin to wash him, but instead Of
being washed he put them aside, stood
up in the basin, raised his eyes and
hands to heaven, and for the space OF
two hours remained in an ecstacy,
gazing upward.
As soon as he could walk about, he
began to interest himself in behalf OF
the young people of his acquaintance.
In Patara, his native town, there was
a nobleman who, by the force of cir
cumstances, had been reduced to pow
erty SO great that, unable to provide
his daughters with marriage portions,
he was about to turn them out of the
house to make their living as best they
could. Nicholas heard of his case, and
going to the house after dark on
Christmas eve, bearing with him a
purse of gold, he was puzzled as to the
best method of conveying the gift to
its recipients without being known
Looking through the window, he saw
that the old man had taken off his
cloth stockings and hung them up be-
fore the fire to dry them. After all
was quiet Nicholas assembled the chin
ney, an old-fashioned wide affair, and
threw the purse of gold down with
such precision of aim that it fell in the
old mans stocking. On Christmas
morning the old gentleman rose, found
the money and with it provided mar
rage portion for his eldest daughter
Similar presents followed for the two
younger, the old man hanging up his
stockings regularly after that, and thus
originated the practice of hanging ur
the stocking to receive the presents OF
st. Nicholas on Christmas eve.

No Calamity Yet.

All through the late campaign Re-
publican speakers predicted that dis
astrOns business depression would in
evitably follow a Democratic victory.
How have those predictions been re-
allied? Instead of u reduction of the
wages of factory operatives there has
been an increase of from to 10 per
cent. even at Fall River. The price of
colt on has gone up in the general mar
ket about three cents per pound, which
means millions of dollars to the South,
and which gives tremendous impetus
to business in every department, be-
cause it increases tile pure hasing pow
er of Southern consumers.
But it was said I'll a the iron and steel
industry would suffer most by pros
pective reduction of the tariff. Now,
instead of depression comes the an
nouncement of increased activity in all
the iron works of Pennsylvania and Ohio,
coupled with the additional announce
ment that the erection of several new
plants is in contemplation.
1t is evident from these and many
similar facts that the business men OF
| the country put no faith in the vatici-
nations of Republican prophets of evil.
When one comes to think of it, ii
would be strange indeed for business
to suffer from a triumph of the popular
will. 1t is not reasonable to suppose
that a majority of the American pee.
pie are bent on self-destruetion, or that
they are such fools as not to know what
good for them, and what they really
want. The fact is that they know well
enough, and for that very reasen they
have discarded their Republican rulers
and called Grover Cleveland to take
the helm of the old ship of state with
a Democratic crew on board.
Ifgreatest prosperity has already sci
in as a consequence of a Democratic
victory at the polls, what may not be
expected when Democratic admins
| tratiop gets fairly under way and wher
just and equal Democratic laws take
the place of oppressive Republican
enactment.
In the business world as in the politi
cal world the skies are bright and
frightening, and especially in the
Southern States which have SO long
been under the heel of the oppressor
A new era is dawning, an era of bust
ness activity and material progress and
an era of good feeling as we'll.
The war is over at last and we have
once more one country, one flag, one

ATLANTA, GA, December aO.-Styles,
of Liberty county, the negro member

for the Confederate Home, is to-day
most popular among the old soldiers

met and invited Styles to be present.
He was presented with a gold-headed

Confederacy,-I call you men Of the
heart thrills with mingled feeling of
ecstacy and caressing regret at the very

The English Sparrows Must Go.


The evidence against the English
sparrow, that has multiplied with such
marvellous rapidity since its introduc-
ton into this country, has become SO
cumulative and damaging that meas
ures should be taken to get rid of it.
There is nothing more important than
the protection of insect destroying
birds, and most are of that character,
but it seems that the English sparrow
is not-except possibly to small de-
gree-an insectivorous bird, and that
it drives away birds of that character,
and in the meantime feeds upon grain
and fruits, and destroys the grown of
fruit by destroying the buds of fruit
trees.
AS the Norfolk Landmark observes,
it may not be generally known, as it
should be, that the Agricultural De-
partment at Washington issued a few
months ago formal pamphlet of some
four hundred pages discussing the Eng
fish sparrow in relation to agriculture
The ornithologist of the department
declares that this industrious little
bird has raised serious question in
economic science-a question as to him
self and how to get rid of the whole
tribe of English sparrows.
The testimony which has been gath
cred from all quarters by the depart.
ment is to the effect that the sparrow
is practically useless as destroyer OF
injurious insects. Not only this but he
drives away the birds which are really
insect destroyers, and still more than
this he is himself large destroyer
of grain and fruit.
AS an example of how the sparrow
operates on fruit Washington obser-
yer wrote to the department as follows:
'Since the middle of April when the
peach blossoms began to unfold, the
sparrows are to be seen at all hours OF
the day hopping or creeping about the
peach trees. and leaving little but
worthless buds behind. Occasionally
a flock of dozen or more will be seen
in single tree, and every one thus far
watched with a glass has proved to be
destroying blossoms or buds at the rate
of five or ten minute. One bird was
seen to cut into and rnin nineteen
blossoms on one spray in less than two
and half minutes. On several of the
trees which l examined carefully with
the glass more than half the blossoms
were wilted and mutilated, and repeat
eddy sparrows were seen to alight on
twigs which contained few, but ruined
| blossoms, and after quick glance
pass on to sprays of untouched flow
ers."
Pear and apple trees suffer in the
same manner, and gardens generally
have the same experience with these
small pirates of the air, ground and
trees. The Agricultural Department
has now declared officially that "the
English sparrow is a curse of such vir-
ulence that it ought to be systemati-
cally attacked and destroyed before it
becomes necessary to deplete the pub
lie treasury for the purpose, as has
been done in other countries" All ex-
isting laws protecting this bird should
be repealed and its destruction encour-
aged by bounties and every way posi-
BILE. This is what the American Or
nithologists Union recommended some
years ago.
