The Work the Woman's Christian
Temperance Union is Doing.

Inc WorA the w oman'S Christian
Temp Union is Doing.
Mrs Mary Webb, state superintendent
of prison work for the Woman's Chris
tian Temperance Union has received an
interesting report from Mrs. A f. c.
Vaughn, superintendent of jail and prison
work of the West Side Woman's Chris
tian Temperance Union in Atlanta. show
ing what is being accomplished there.
Mrs Vaughn'S husband is missionary
to the prisoners of Fulton county, APP
pointed by the Baptist state board. He is
also appointed by the grand jury of Full
ton county for the Chattahoochee brick
camps, and in company with Mrs Vaughn
is doing an effective work.
The religious interest among the pris-
oners, Mrs. Vaughn says. is very encour-
aging. Before her husband began preach
ing among the Convicts Sundays, the cap
tain of the camps said he was compelled
to whip the men fifteen or twenty times
on Sundays for fighting over cards and
for other offenses. Now he does
not use the whip at all Sundays

Mrs. Vaughn says, trace their downfall
TO whisky, and she works directly with a
view to temperance reform
Mrs. Vaughn gives a detailed report Of
her own work, which shows the great

POLICE PRACTICE eUNNERY.
They Will Show UP With Their Shot
guns in a Few Days.


The mounted police have not yet begun
to carry the Winchester repeating shot
guns purchased for their use some time
ago. The guns were at first objected to
on account of being too long, and it was
proposed to swap them for shorter guns.
1t has since been decided that the guns are
the right length and that the only thing
for the police to DO is to learn the knack
of carrying them.
The police have been given instructions.
on this point by Mr. James Floyd, who
spent some time on the plains of Texas
and learned the knacl1 of carrying the
gun there. The proper position of the
gun, as explained by Mr.. Floyd, is barrel
suspended downward by strap passing
around the body of the horseman, with
the barrel of the gun passing under the
right leg. In this position it is said it
can be carried with comfort, and can be
gotten at readily when wanted for use.
The leather covers which were received
with the guns have been found to be
small, and il is now proposed TO exchange
them for larger covers. After that is
done the mounted police will appear with
the guns They win then be ready for
anything from a chicken-hawk to a des-
upradO

STATIONS HAVE A PITCHED
BATTLE
With Teeth and Hoofs as Weapons
They Fight SavaCely.
From the New York tribune.

An equine duel was fought on Sunday
at the Holmdel farm, Monmouth county,
N. j., between the well-known race horses,
Cactus. and Ramapo. Both horses are
owned by the racing firm of Gideon g.
DAILY. Ramapo won many races last
year and was rated as in the fist fight
of the 3-year-olds of 1893 Cactl was a
fair performer at the shorter distances.
1t is not known how the horses got at
each other, but the fight was fiercely and
viciously waged until they were sepa rated
by }. j. Hyland, the trainer, and the
stablemen. Both horses are stations, so
that experienced horsemen who have
witnessed a battle of that descripi ion
know how desperately such animals " i'll

were so severely injured that neither of
them is likely to see the post until late
in the season. 1t is unfortunate that such
an accident should happen on the eve of
the racing season as both horses were in
excellent condition and likely to win at

The Bo'sn says: 1t is astonishing how
little the public knows OF what is being
done for the improvement of ocean navi-
cation. Not day in the year passes that
there are not one or more applications
made for patents in this connection,
many of which are valuable. The latest
to be applied to an American steamship is
an automatic whistle blower for fogs,
which has been adopted on the Old Do
minion Company's new steamships, the
jamestown and Yorktown, which
can be set by the officer
in the pilot-house so that the
whistle will blow at stated intervals and
register the day hour and minute on a tape.
The law requires that the whistle shall
be blown at intervals not to exceed one
minute. This device enables the navi-
gator to blow the whistle at the proper
intervals, relieving him of the response
bility of noting the time. and giving him a
valuable record to take into court in case
of collision.
