"But the worst, the most dangerous OF
all these new things was
THE NEW WOMAN.

all these new Things was
THE NEW WOMAN.
"Ye showed no y W oman had been ad-
vanced with the advancing intelligence
and civilization of the world from being
subordinate, not to say slave, of man
to being his equal, his companion.
Every avenue and employment was open
to her from which her physical condi-
ton does not debar her. He rejoiced in
this widening of woman's sphere. But
what he deplored was the manly woman
and the womanly man and that one fol-
lowed the other as effect follows cause.
''But it is impossible to follow the elo-
0ueut orator through his most beautiful
and entertaining address. It was finely
varied, at times earnest, full OF literary
beauties and again hum Drous and most
delightfully."- comic. At times his word
painting was superb, seldom equaled.
His description of Adam amid the glO-
ries of Paradise before the tempter came
was beautifully grand. The sinless pair
walked amid the beauties and glOries of
| the Garden of God. and God himself was
their companion. But the disturber,
the reformer, came and said, Sin the day
We eat thereof We shall be as God And
Paradise was lost. But all along down
the ages another Paradise has been
planning, planting and building. The
Christian home is the sweetest, loveiiest
spot on earth, with woman not as man
rival but as as his companion and, as
God pats, it mans 'helpmeet'. But
another disturber, another reformer, is
seeking admission into this Paradise
regained and is whispering to woman,
in the day thou eatest thereof thou
shalt be as God And some, listening to
this tempter, are dissatisfied and not
content with being mans companion
and helpmeet, as the Divine Father has,
ordered, are going about clamoring for
| the ballot and they know not what Thus
| his peroratiOn was indeed grandly beauti-
! full and eloquent. And in his closing SEN
! fences when he called to these mistaken
wandering ones to come back and dwell
! content in the christian home, that love
! hest, sweetest, happiest Paradise that
/ ever blo0med on earth, as he called to
! them in tones of tenderness, come
home, come home, come hOme,' his
superb eloduence carried his audience to
| the highest pitch of appreciation and
/ delight and he sat down amid storm
of long repeated applause, which indeed
| did Ut stop until he arose and gracefully
| bowed his acknowledgements His
address was indeed and without doubt j
most splendid success. The judge may

The new WOMAN
WAS THE SUBJECT OF A MAGNIFI-
CENT ADDRESS

By Judge Griggs Before the Graduating
Glass of Union Female College at Eu-
faula. Captured the Audience.
Judge Griggs has won new laurels as
an orator. His address before the grad
uating class of Union Female College, at
Eufaula, on last Tuesday evening,is said
by these who heard it 20 have been a
literary gem. The eloquent young orator
completely captured his large and refin-
ed audience. From the Eufaula Times
we get the following concering the ad
dress and its reception:
1.-THE large and intelligent audience
that gathered in the opera house on
Tuesday night anticipated an intellect
ual treat. From the reputation of the
distinguished orator of the occasion,
Hon. j. NJ. Griggs, of Dawson, Ga, they
confidently expected literary and ora
torical entertainment of the highest
order, They were not only not disaP-
pointed, but the address far exceeded
their highest anticipatiOns.
'sHe was happily introduced by Presi-
dent Summons, who announced that
Judge Griggs had told him that he had
no subject, but that he would take the
liberty of announcing that his subject
was the new woman.
"The judge makes fine appearance
on the platform. He started by saying
it. was great pleasure for him, reared
as he had been from youth amid the
forests and hills and fields of old Geor-
gia. to meet the citizens of Alabama, her
oldest daughter. His allusion to Geor-
ola and Alabama and their relationships
were very happy, especially when he
spoke of how they stood side by side
amid the shock of arms in the late var
and during the dark troublesome days Of
/ reconstruction.
'.He then spoke of the rush, the mad
/ craze. after the new in these latter days.
| The old was being condemned and left
behind. All that was asked is, is it new?
not. is it true? The old south, with all
its glories of refinement, OF cultare, of
patriotism, was being spoken lightly of
in comparison with the new south, with
its material progress and restless, fever
ish, dangerish haste after wealth and
power. This passion for the new had
even invaded the sanctuary of God.

tional, the startling, Were all the go.

coal at about So per ton. But in the face
of all such hattering facts some OF our
citizens would throttle this new industry.

THE CHINESE TRIAL
Objections and SquabbIing Make the Wong
Chuey Case Rather Lively

Chuey Case Rather Lively
The Chinese murder case is still in full
blast in department one of the superior
court. Yesterday the defense introduced
large numbe of witnesses, both white
and Asiatic, to prove that Wong Chuey is
not the man who killed Luy Suey.
The case would present no inter esting
features whatever at this stage were it
not for the almost continuous wrangles
between the attorneys on both sides as
they try to prevent questions from being
asked and answered. At times the wit
nesses join IN the squable and the court is
put to his wits ends to restore peace and
quiet. If il were not for these very fire.
quent outbursts OF Indignation at one or
another query the trial would be exas-
perating to the onlooker.
Every other minute an attorney jumps
up and objects to a question because it is
immateIal, irrelevant, incompetent. that
the answer would be hearsay, that it is
not cross-examination. that it is calling
for conclusion OF the witness, and then
everybody is up in jiffy and they all
talk together. When oil has been poured
over the troubled waters nobody recollects
what it was all about and the court ste
nographeI has to read the question that
raised all the rumpus. Things then go
on smoothly for while and all of u sud-
d>n the legal geyser spouts again. The
case will be resumed tomorrow.

OF confidence in monetary transactions.
You say, 1.-The reason the farmer can
not pay his mortgage is not because he
cannot get gold. The real reason should
be very plainly stated time and again. 1t
is mainly because OF lack of confidence
caused by the silver howlers. European
investors are afraid that they may have
to take silver in payment of the gold
that they lend us. And as capital is nat
urally timid some people in this country
with money to lend are made timid by
the contagious fear OF Europeans. The
sooner the present uncertainty which
causes lack of confidence is removed. the
better for ALL free -silverites included.
There is an abundance of money: the
lack is that of confidence. And every
newspaper and business man should do
all in their power to remove this him
There never should be any doubt again
as to what kind of money the honest
public of the United States will pay to

A Tax Reform Proposition

Editor Herald Permit me to call tue
attention of syour readers to question

politics-home rule in taxation. For the
pa1t four years the tax reform as iocia-
tions of New York CITY and Brooklyn
have been endeavoring to get their leg
islature to pass a local option taxation
bill. These clubs are composed mainly
of single takers who believe in abolishing
all taxes on industry, and limited single
takers who favor only the exemption of
personally. Both contend that munich
palties and counties should have the
privilege of raising their own revenues
upon such form of property as the peo-
pie shall decide. They believe that the
taxes on personally should rirst be abol

ably Fixed

The special verdict of the Jury who
tried the contest of the will of Bridget
Wilson, deceased, and decided in favor of
John Wilson, whereby he comes into
property valued at SOL 900, covered twelv c
inter- ogatories. They found that the de-
ceased was OF unsound mind on February
27. 1893. when the will was purported to
have been executed, as well as on March
IL, 1898, the date of the codicil. The exc
cution of these instruments they found
to have been procured through the undue
influence and fraud of John McConna-
chic, Michael Curran and Mary Curran.
The jury also found that the will and
cOdicil were signed by testator, and that
the latter was subscribed by her in the
presence of the attesting witnesses; that
she declared to them that the instrument
dated March II, 1893, was her will and
codicil; and that the attesting Witnesses
signed their names to it in Mrs. Wilson'S
presence. and at her request. Daniel
Gridley was foreman OF the jury.
, The verdict seems to have met with
general approval and is spoken of con-
siderably Oh the streets as a righteous
one. There has been much misconcep-
tion with respect to John Wilson's finan-
cial condition. many people believing
that he had nothing in the world beyond
the 500 per month allowed him in the
will. AS a matter of face, however, the
old horseshoer is today a wealthy man
worth $240. 0O0 Taking from this amount
