HILL SPEAKS PLAINLY.
Talk on Personal Liberty, Labor Unions
and Money.

Rome, \. u, July 29-At the picnic
OF the Hop Growers association at
Sylvan Beach today Senator David
Is. Hill made a speech.
He spoke in part us follows:
personal liberty, us it is generally
understood, especially in it's best if
not its broadcast sense, means the larS,
est measure of liberty which it is pos
sible to confer upon the individual citi-
zen not injurious to the real or sub
stantial interests of the whole coun-
, try.
1T may be safely asserted, as a gen
eral rule, that L citizen may eat, drink
and wear whatever he pleases, and that
he may SOW and reap in his fields what
ever they will grow and that he may
manufacture in his shop whatever his
skill might invent. These are natural
rights which he possessed before gov
ernments were. founded or constitll
tons framed, rights which he never
surrendered and rights which constitu
tons and laws cannot justly take away
THE abuse of personal liberty 10y
the citizens is always made Il plaus
ible pretcXt for its prohibition and re
Striction. You are familiar with the
old threadbare argument that men in
dulge their appetites to excess; there
fore the good OF the community requires
! that the manufacture and sale of what
they eat and drink must be prevented
or reprCSSed by stringent and offensive
laws.
! The air is filled with the noise of dis
graceful religious diSSensionS upon alb
stract questions of orthodox doctrine
and prosecutions or trial for alleged
| hereSy among most respectable de
nominations are being SO frequent that
it is impossible for we poor miserable
sinners to determine what is hereSy
and what is not, yet a total denial OF
the liberty of conscience would scarece
ly BE- tolerated in this land Of boosted
religious freedom.
/ There are those whose views arc
SO extreme that they would oppose the
raising of hops because such produc-
ton facilitates the manufacture OF
beer.
! They would prohibit or restrict the
manufacture of tobacco because foolish
men and silly boys sometimes smoke
too much. They would curtail numer
Gus innocent amusements because they
are oftimes carried to excess"
! Referring to the workingmen who
belong to labor organizations, Senator
Hill said:
The legal rights of such individuals
unQuestionably remain the same, IRE
spective of the question of such mem
bership. They always must be deemed
to reserve the abstract legal right OF
repudiating such membership whenever
they SO prefer, their withdrawal only
OccasiOning such minor forfeitureS OF
penalties as reasonable bylaws might
infer. They cannot be compelled to
act against their will. Their personal
right cannot be jeopardized.
1T does not follow that the mem
bership Of labor organizations cannot
easily be kept within the law.
The whole country is at last awak-
ening to the improperly of making
our money metals a matter of mer-
chandise by the government itself, and
is hoping that a patriotic congress,
soon to convene, will faithfully respond
with promptitude to the demands of
public sentiment in that regard

Feminine Perfection.

The people of Montana seem to have
precipitated an unexpected discussion as
to feminine perfection. DIR. Sargent, of
the Harvard gymnasium, has measured
nearly 10000 women who were perfect
as to health, strength and general devel-
opment, but his results were not such
that he is willing to affirm that there is
such thing as perfect feminine fig
Ire.' He took as his standard the aver
ags of each of the measurements made
for the whole 10000, and then compared
the lines of each with that. Each was
found to vary in some ways, some more
than others, but all in a marked degree.

Poisons in Toy Candles.

The following letter on arsenical poi

tributed to The Times in March, 1885.
by Major Leadbetter. chief constable of

report is to the effect that the green can

to the extent that every eight candles
would contain one grain of arsenious

red candles were colored with vermilion.
There is no doubt, therefore, that we
have not further to seek for an explana-
ton of the sy1nptoms-a crowded room

senical and mercurial fumes sufficiently
accounting for it. It is only fair to state
that learn the candles were not of Eng

procession to the cemetery, which is
three miles out of town, had been NOV

horses running away? No, SIR was
the reply. We'll, what are you driving

and up in this country it is the custom
for the bearers to follow the hearse. -

Uncle Moses Postum Prayer.

Great CONSERVATION, followed by wild
laughter, was an innovation of the chapel
exercises at the penitentiary not long
ago. 1t was occasioned by possum
prayer from old Nose Allen. South
Carolina negro with one leg, who was
dreaming of Thanksgiving day. Chap
lain Dudley opened the prayer meeting
as usual, and prisoners followed briefly.
When all heads were bowed in reverence
old Nose Jumped at the opportunity and
delivered the following prayer:
"Dear beloved brudderin and sister'n,
| tank de Lord for permittin me to KUN
ter church dis yer beautiful Sabbot' morn.
Ye all dunno that beautiful Thanksgiv-
ing day is near at han. On dat day some
folks will eat turkey, some eat chicken,

eat sheep. But us niggers, we would like

Chaplain Dudley stood aghast at the
conclusion of the prayer. A moment
afterward the chapel re-echoed the wild
and wicked shouts of the prisoners. For
about five minutes CONSERVATION reigned,
at the end of which time prayers wee
resumed, with no further expressions
from the colored brethren.-Columbu

A REMARKABLE ROBBERY.
A Daring Theft of Pair of Diamond
Earrings on Public Street.

A Daring Theft of Pair of Diamond
Earrings on a Public Street.
AS bold highway robbery as ever
occurred in the city was committed on
Euclid avenue early last evening. 1t is
doubtful if the annals of the police can
show case parallel to it. A parry of
four ladies were walking on Euclid ave-
nue. on the way home from a shopping
expedition. They were Mrs. FL. A. Crit
fin, Mrs. T. A. AFTER, Miss Griffin and
Miss After. At $50 o'clock they were
in front of the residence of Colonel John
Hay, on Euclid avenue, opposite Huron
street. 1t was dark, but many. persons
were passing on their way home. TIL
ladies were interested in conversation
and gave no attention to the stealthy ap-
proach behind them of tall, spare
young man, attired in light colored
overcoat He stepped behind Mrs. After
and placed one hand on each side Of her
head. He pressed them against either
cheek and then turned and fled. His ac-
ton was SO unexpected and the ladies so
startled that they failed for moment to
understand it, Then Mrs. AFTER raised
her hands to her head and learned that
she had been robbed of her diamond ear
rings.
''Oh, dear, my earrings are gone!' she
exclaimed
A cry for assistance was at once raised
by all of the ladies. Calls were made for
the police. A large crowd gathered in a
few moments, but too late to be of serv-
ice. The thief after securing his plum
der started at rapid gait along the
driveway between the residences of Colo
mel Hay and General James j. Tracy
A man left his buggy to chase him, but
the fugitive easily eluded him in the
darkness. He had probably ascertained
the lay of the land in advance and knew
exactly the best course to pursue
The highwayman gained possession of
the earrings by opening the clasps and
slipping them out of the ears. Mrs
AFTER escaped injury and only learned
the absence of the earrings when she in
stinctively reached for them and found
them gone. Each of them contained
large solitaire diamond, and she priced
them highly. The value of the gems is
about $40O.
sit is the only case of the kind of
which I have ever heard" said Captain
Humphrey, of the detectives. ''There
are few cases in which earrings have
been torn from the ears, but do not be-
lieve that any other highwayman has had
the nerve to open the clasps and remove
the earrings just as the owner would
have done. Everything conspired in ia
vor of the thief. When Mrs. AFTER felt
the mans hands pressed against her
cheeks from behind, she supposed that it
was her husband, and that he had over
taken her and proposed to give her sur
prise. The first thought of the other
ladies in the party was that Mrs. AFTER
was receiving singular greeting from
some relative whom they did not know.
Of course it was all over in moment,
and then they discovered their mistake"
