GIVEN TO THE FATHER.
Mr.. Meyer Gets His Child, but the
Mother May Visit Ii.

Mother May Visit Ii.
The court of ordinary had a rather in
teresting and sensational case to deal
with yesterday in the application of John
Meyer for writ of habeas corpus to Sc
cure his child, a Is months old girl, named
Maggie Louise, who was in the possess
sion and custody of her mother, Mamie
Meyer
The hearing of the case began at 10
o'clock and was concluded about > O'clock
The petitioner was represented by Messrs
SeabroOk & Morgan. and the mother of
the child by Messrs. William Pease and
p. j. OConnor. There were about TWEEN
ty witnesses introduced and the testimony
was of all sorts. The father claimed the
child on the general ground that the
mother was not fit and proper person
to keep the child. Some testimony was in
troduced to show that the mother was
IN the habit OF drinking, and that at times
there had been serious family ruptures.
while Mr.. and Mrs. Meyer We're living to-
gether. Since then il has been stated
that on one or two occasions the child's
life was in danger on account of the
careleSsness of the mother when she had
been drinking. Mrs. Meyer admitted that
she drank at times, but stated that her
husband had taught her to drink and was
as bad In that respect as she was.
After argument on both sides Juiee
Ferrin decided to give the child to her
rather, on the ground that he was bet
ter able to take care of her. His order
allows the mother TO see the child al
any time for proper purposes. The at
torneys for the mother gave notice at
once that an appeal would be taken 10
the superior court.

WILL BE ON HAND IN ADAY or TWO
Representative Rockwell Expected
in Atlanta by Monday.

The report came from Atlanta yester-
day through a Geographic dispatch pub
lshed in the Morning News that Repre-
sentative T. ID, Rockwell of this county
was not in his seat and had not been heard
from.
When Mr.. Rockwell left for the west to
take a position in the legal branch of the
interior department, he stated that he
would by no means resign as a member OF
the Legislature, but would be back to nil
his seat. On that account and because he
did not put in an appearance, his friends
became somewhat anxious. The report
stated that the other members of the legis-
lature from Cnatnam had not heard any
thing from him in a month or two and
did not know whether he would be on
hand or not.
Inquiry in the city yesterday developed
the fact that Hon. +. q. duBignon had a
letter from him the day before showing
that Mr.. Rockwell is now in New York.
In that letter he stated that he is Just
getting in shape the business which he
had TO attend to for the government, ana
that ne would reach Atlanta either on
Saturday or Monday, and take his seat
with his colleagues. Mr.. Rockwell was
heard from in Washington a short time
ago, ana his friends say there is no reason
why his colleagues should have stated that
they knew nothing about him or that they
had not heard from him in months

not pay the price OF the quality of the
rubber ordered. Knowing that the av-
erage buyer is more influenced by cost
than by quality, the manufacturers fig
ure on furnishing adulterated rubber
and they are seldom called to account
for the deception practiced, although
the cost Of fine Parais frequently three
times the amount paid for the fraudu-

DID THEY YIN OR zo>Eq

Many people who live in Europe have
become so tired of living there that they
are committing suicide. During the last
week there have been at least ten sui
cides a day in Paris and as many in
London. In other places also suicides
have been frequent, and some of them
have been of remarkable character.
For instance, at Brunn, in Austria, a
journeyman baker and his sweetheart
made up their minds to die together
and die by drowning in the Schwarza
river. The young man was out of work
and saw no prospect of being able to
get married. The couple carried out
their resolve, and their bodies were
found in the river The pockets of the
young man were searched, and in them
were found one form and a lottery
ticket. A few days afterward the draw
ing in the lottery took place, and that
ticket was the winner of 10000 forms,
or about $4,000.
This incident raises some interesting
and perplexing questions. If these
young people had only waited few
days tickle fortune would have smiled
upon them and enabled them to realize
the desire of their fond hearts. They
would then have been happy for a few
minutes and perhaps for a few hours.
Then they would perhaps, not to say
probably, have discovered that though
they had drawn a prize in the money
lottery they had mot drawn a prize in
the marriage lottery. And the time
might even have come when they would
be SO disguised that they would wish
hat they had jumped into the Schwartz
river before they had been unlucky
enough to draw the lottery prize that
enabled them to foolishly invest in the
marriage lottery and draw blank.
Some who read about this sad and
curious case will hastily decide that the
young people made great mistake in
not waiting few days, when they
would have been able to begin their
married life on money which, If not ex-
actly the wages Of sin, would not have
been the wages of honest industry.
Who can tell? They died in love and
despair and in water which was not
hot, and perhaps they have not gone
| to Heaven. Had they been married
they might have lived in hate, despair
and hot water and produced accused
offspring, and they might not have gone
to Heaven at the end. We commend
the questions involved to the debating
societies.

! s1yg1E-rax CAMPAIGN.

That is a very interesting and we'll
planned campaign which the advocates
of the single-tax theory are carrying on
In Delaware. For more than month
past between thirty and forty stump
speakers and about as many additional
distributors Of literature have been
travelling in groups of two and three
over the State proclaining to the peo-
Die the Henry George doctrine of a tax
on land values and the abolition Of all
other taxes, direct or indirect. The
avowed purpose of this remarkable pro-
paganda is to elect the governor and
A. majority of the Legislature and in
augurate the revenue plan throughout
the commonwealth. Delaware has been
chosen as the initial battle ground
principally because there is no consti-
tutionaI barrier there to the adoption
Of the single tax, and also on account
of the small eize of the State, it being
the smallest in the union except Rhode
Island. There are but $4,000 voters in
Delaware and large proportion of
these reside in and near Wilmington,
the chief manufacturing city, which in
1890 had a population of about $1,000,
or considerably more than one-third
of the number of inhabitants in the
State The present State constitution
was adopted in 1892 and has undergone
only slight notifications. 1t is prac-
tically silent on the subject Of taxa
ton. All the State revenue is raised
from railroads and licenses and by a
collateral inheritance tax. The single
tax advocates would change this by
deriving not only State revenue but all
money necessary for municipal, county
and local needs from land values. I'm
der such a system the rolling stock,
buildings and personal property of rail-
| roads would be exempt, but the right
| of way would be taxed to its full value
| The argument is that the exemption
Of cars and buildings encourages their
| multiplication while the taking by the
State of the annual rental value of the
franchise destroys the monopoly feature
peculiar to the use of such privilege.
The national committee of single-tax
advocates has just endorsed the Della
ware campaign, and it is declared that
upward of 100000 will be subscribed
by friends of the movement to carry
on there the plan of agitation and edu-

The soinoe of Books.


What matter though my room be small,
Though this red lamp light looks
On nothing but a papered wall
And some few rows of books?
For in my hand I hold key
That opens golden doors;
At whose reSistless sesame
A tide of sunlight pours,
In from the basking lawns that lie
Beyond the boundary wall;
Where summer broods eternally,
Where the cicalas call.
There all the landscape softer is,
There greener tendrils Irvine,
The bowers are rooted with clematis.
With bIfony and vine.
There pears and golden apples hang,
There falls the honey-dew,
And there the birds that morning sang,
When all the world was new.
Beneath the oaks Menaieas woos
Arachnia's nut-brown eyes;
And still the laughing Faun pursues,
And still the wood-nymph flies.
And you may hear young Orpheus there
Come singing through the wood,
Or catch the CLEAN of golden hair
In dams solitude.
So when the world is all awry,
When life is out of chime,
I take this key of gold and fly
To that SpryeDhr c1irnp.
To those fair sunlit lawns that lie
Beyond the boundary wall,
Where summer broods eternally
And Youth is over all.

Black Straw as Foil TO white Dresses.
Black hats heavy with plumes and
fluffy with great lace aigrettes are worn
with the daintiest light summer dresses.
This is the notion Of some bright wo-
man who knows that the usual delicacy
OF a light summer dress Is trying to any
but the freshest beauty, and that the
shadowy relief of black hat adds brill
liancy and increases not only the beau

wearer. So If the hat be black 1t can
be trimmed to taste, if the fashion of
the hour be not neglected, and the mod
