Denver, through Editor Pierce, of the
Centennial State extended an invita-
Jor the National Editorial association
to meet in extra session in that city in
May 1895, while Editor Walter Scott
Coleman, of the Cedariown Standard,
and president of the Georgia Weekly
Press, voiced an eloquent invitation
for the association to attend the open
ing of the Atlanta exposition in Octo-
Der, 1865.
All of which were referred to the
same committee which is to decide the
place of meeting in Florida.
1t is exceedingly gratifying to note
the fact that Mr.. William Penn Nix
on, proprietor of the Chicago Inter-
Ocean, the leading great and all-pow-
erful republican organ of Chicago and
the northwest, dined and wined the

them the pleasing and amusing fea-
lures Of the English Circus, whose
plant in Chicago tost 100000.
It is needless to add that these un-
expected courtesies were highly APP
preciated and enjoyed.
AT the banquet toasts were given
and responded to by persons from fif-
teen different states, in which Florida
was not forgotten.
A number of lady editors were pres

of Dallas, Texas.

the National Editorial executive COM
mittee, and after consuming several
hours in hearing the st. Augustine
and Jacksonville claims and the mer-
tits of same, they referred the ques-
ton of place to the president and the
two secretaries TO decide.
If a decision has been reached we
have not heard of it.
The Chicago meeting decided two
questions, namely: That had the peo-
pie of Florida named place the ex-
ecutlve committee would heve con-
firmed it, and that the Florida execu-
tive committeeman had power tc call
the jacksonville meeting and decide
the place.

tween fostering pauperism and refusing
all help. The whole distribution of funds
was left to a committee of three men,
prominent citizens. The charities or.
CARNATIONS turned over their funds to the
new committee, and they began work.
Their first step was to discourage and
forbid as far as possible all indiscrimi-
nate charity. Beggars were to be sent
to the bureaus which the committee or
gained One of these was labor
bureau. Ali applicants for help were
registered, their names and addresses
taken, and a strict examination into their
previous character was made.
A labor bureau was established, and
those desiring work were placed on
list. The committees officers succeeded
in finding work for about 20 per cent.
The city did not help 4ny, but the private
and other contributions enabled the COM
mittee to put the men at work on streets
and parks.
The best feature perhaps was the sales
depot which the committee opened. The
applicant for aid went 10 the regis
tration bureau and got a ticket eerti-
flying that he was IN need. He brought
it to the store. There necessary sup
plies We're issued to HIM at the lowest
rate on credit. They were not given
to him-he bought them on credit and
promised to pay for them when he could
get work. As fast as there was a vacan-
cy he was summoned to redeem his
promise. Most of the applicants obeyed
the summons cheerfully. One days
work at a time is given. This supplies
for one week food for three persons.

Messrs. johnson, Carlisle and Will

that the Kentucky lawyers had made
an unproyoked assault upon Mr.. john

Mr. Breckenridge and son had started
from the courthouse. but seeing the
judge turn back the congressman APP
preached him and sail with evident
excitement: Il had nothing to do with
this, Judge l was trying to separate
them, that was all"
From the statement of eye witnesses
il seemed thai this was correct, for, al
though there was moment of very
general senfling, every body but Mr..
Shelby seemed to have started in with
the intention OF stopping the trouble.
Judge Bradley was very indignant.

he said, sternly. "You must under
stand that we can not have such out
breaks. [ will ascertain who are res
ponsible for this and see to it that they
are properly punished.
Thereupon the parties of the attor-
neys retired to their respective quarters
to discuss the affair
An exciting scene indicating the in
tense FEELING which exists between the
counsel on the opposing sides occurred
Just outside the courtroom when the
court adjourned for the day Mr..
Shelby of the counsel for the defendant
rebuked Mr. johnson of the counsel
for the plaintiff for his sharp criticism
of Mr. Shelby during the course of the
proceedings. Hot words followed, and
before the outcome could be stopped
Mr. Shelby struck Mr. johnson blow.
Mr.. Carlisle came to the assistance of
Mr.. johnson and in a moment the law
yers on each side were involved in what
would undoubtedly have been an ugly
fracas had not coolheaded men in the
crowd or mem bers of the bar who sur
rounded the angry lawyers interfered
and separated the com batants.
The pugiIistic encounter was not the
only sensational incident of the day,
for Miss Pollard was carried sobbing
from the courtroom and fell in a faint
outside the door. when testimony con
corning the birth and death Of her child

Find the Moral For Yourself.

A few years ago queer old gentleman
in New Jersey died, leaving property
worth about geo, 600 to Henry George, the
single tax advocate. George was tousethe
fortune in smashing land monopoly and
disseminating single tax doctrines The
queer old gentleman had some relatives
in the west, and they vowed by all that
was good and great the property shonld
never be used for any such unorthodox
purpose-no, not if they had to go to law
and take possession Of 1t themselves. L
was not that they wanted it, but they
would not let it so for such crank OBJ
ject. They argued that, according TO the
testator's bequest. the money was to be
used in breaking down existing laws,
and it was unlawful to try to break
down existing laws.
The first court decided i'll favor of the
relatives. By that time Henry George
mad his blood up and he determined to
see whether it WAS really unlawful to
try to break down existing laws when
you think they are bad laws. He APP
pealed the case and fought it through
court after court. The queer old man
had left wife unprovided for. Henry
George said if he got the money he
would see that she was made comfort
able for life. But the relatives were de-
termined that no such small eonsidera-
ton as the maintenance of testator's
widow should stand in the way Of the
performance Of a high public duty, ana
so they refused to let her have any share
of the property The old lady went to
the poorhouse and died broken hearted
because she had to go The relatives
still lawed and lawed on. The case has
just been decided in favor of Henry
George, who gets the property. But
there is now only $500 left of it. The
lawyers got the rest.
