DRY GOODS.

NEW York, December 21.-Thedry goods
market in general rules quiet without
change in price. The feature Of the whole
market is the reduction in the prices of
New York mills and Utica mills wide

quite embarrassing and business is grad
nally shutting down to holiday limits.
Prints are generally dull. Dress goods
are selling in a small way for the spring.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-Sir: DR..
Parkhurst is undoubtedly right In mis-
discovery that the laws Of the State OF
New YORK in regard TO ~disorderIy per-
sons are not enforced by the police and
the Police Justices. l remind you Of
Section 500, Title VII, Of the Code OF
Criminal Procedure, which IQuOte as
follows:
SECTION 500. who are Disorderly Per
lsCns.-The following are disorderly
persons:
l. Persons who actually abandon their
wives. SC;
Q p T ons who threaten 20 run away
aud leave their wives and children a bur
den upon the public;
5. Persons pretending 70 tell fortunes
or where lost or stolen goods may be found
T. Keepers OF bawdy houses, or houses
Of the resort of prostitutes, %druukars,
tipplers, gamblers, habitual criminals,
Isuch as actors; see below
3. Persons who ave no visible profess
sion or calling by which TO maintain them
selves, bat who DO so maintain them
selves, I supposed for the most part by
gaming;
8. Jugglers, common showmen, and
mOuntebanks, who exhibit or perform for
profit, puppet shows, wire or rope dancers
Isle or Otrer idle shows, acts or feats.
Then there are three more sections
devoted % monte men aud habitual
criminals. The %disOrderly person, 10
further appears, should be arrested on
q warrant, about issuing which the
magistrate has no option when a sworn
complaint is laid before him. The Po-
lice Justice may require him to give
bail for gOUd behavior that is, TO desist
from juggling or giving shows, or act
ing), or If be fails 20 give bail, may
send him to BlackWelt's Island for six
months az hard labor. The keeper OF
the -peniteutiary must return 20 the
Court Of Sessions Of the county on the
first day OF every term a list Of the per-
sons so committed. and this Is what that
court may do:
SECTION 90. The Court may discharge
such a person = or, if he be q min
or, may authorize the Commits
sloners Of Charities and Correction to bind
him out in some lawful calling as O SER
want, apprentice, mariner, or otherwise,
until he be of age; or, II he be of age, 20
contract for his service with any person,
as q labOrer, servant, apprentice, mariner,
or otherwise, for not exceeding one year.
What are laws for II they are not TO
be enforced imDartially? I speak for
Herman myself. I want him for a ser
want to take the $40 gold pieces out OF
my potatoes for me this winter.
ACCORDING TO THE LAW.

The follow letters 20 the editor Of the
New York sun and his pertinent and
timely comment are downright good
reading:
-Improvidones and Poverty.
ToruE EDITOR OF TIE SUN-Str: LOFT
ten hear it said that no one need suuer the
pangs Of poverty in this country, II ne IS
industrious and economical

Their shat any man who will 60 among the
poor will find, that while too great a pro
portion Of those people are poor because
they have been imprOvident yet there are
many la distress, and there are many who
have for a long time been in distress, BY
reasons which are beyond their control.
shall state one instance Of this latter
class, the latest that has come within my
experience.
It is that Of a family consisting Of
father, mother, and six children, the old
est child about ten. The father earns $ q
week, yet by reason Of broken time, caused
either by sickness or by the stoppage or
the establishment In which he works. even
this small income is materially reduced
Even when things are running smoothly ne

Now, let anv one calculate what must De
done with this $50, and, II be IS deeply
Versed in figures, let him see how mucn
can be devoted 70 "a reserve fund 10 tue
them over the period Of Idleness."
The family occupy three rooms IN the
rear portion Of a house, which is situated
In q small street. For these rooms, small,
Dl-lighted as they are, they pay 8 amontn.
There is not much room for economy here.
Subtracting the rent from the mans
wages, we find that he has 50 letL. Now
take OF the sum necessary for light and
fuel Then, calling 20 mind that hV-
ing In the rear in a small street
Is not conducive TO health, con
slider what such a family would probably
pay % doctor and druggist during a year.
The last time I called, the mother and two
children were very sick; but the poor moth
er did not even think OF taking 70 her bed.
Now clOthe father, mother, six children,
putting even the toughest material on the
children, and the toughest shoes on little
feet that ia their activity, viii soon make
the new old. What remains, 1 wonder, az
the END Of the month"; SACERDOs.
Philadelphia, Dec. rs, 1898.
IL strikes US that for a man earning
no more than $50 q month 20 marry and
bring into the world six children is an
act Of as great -improvidence as al be
imagined. Certainly he cannot be said
70 suffer from "causes beyond his own
control"

CHANGED HIS FAITH.
Rev. W. s. Wightman Joins the Presby-
terian Church.
1Rock Hill Herald, 9th.

- Rock Hill Herald, 6th.
After the morning services in the
Methodist church last Sunday morning
Rev. w. S. Wightman surprised his
congregation by stating that it was the
last time he would appear before them
as their pastor or in Methodist pulpit
as Methodist minister. This was q
shock to his flock, but when he ex-
planned that his views had changed in
regard to some Of the cardinal doctrines
of the Bible the strange announcement
was made plain to them. Mr.. Wight
man announced that owing TO this
change of views he had decided to con-
meet himself with the Presbyterian
church, which he will do at a meeting
of Bethel Presbytery to be held in
Rock Hill on the 13th of the present
month. Mr.. Wightman has sent q
paper to the Methodist Conference,
which is now in session at Sumter,
asking letter OF dismissal to the
Presbyterian church and embodying
his reasons for the step he has taken,
Mr.. Wightman has had charge of
Methodist churches at Columbia,
Abbeville, Anderson, Marion, New
berry, Rennettsville and Rock Hill,
and after preaching the doctrine of
that church for twenty years be finds
that he has not been teaching what he
now believes. He, however, has for
months been studying the question as
between the Arminian and Calvinistic
theories of the Atonement with the re-
suit that he must hereafter preach and
teach the latter.

D. TilIrnan's residence was destroyed
by fire this morning, which originated
on the second floor while the family
were at breakfast. How the fire started
is only coniectured as the roof was in a
blaze when the fire was discovered. All
the valuable furniture, bedding, wear
ing apparel, books, paintings, etc., on
the second floor were consumed. Most
of those on the first floor were saved
but were badly damaged. None of the
family were injured. Miss Fannie Till
man was very i'll of grippe, but was
fortunately on the first floor.
All the neighbors, white and black,
worked heroically to save as much as
possible. Conductor Hernlel's train
was stopped to assist and both the crew
and passengers did all they could. Two
outbouses were also burned. Mr.. Till=
man's Office and large library escaped,
The dwelling aid contents wereinsured
but for not near enough to cover the
loss.
