Can Kiss Anywhere.

1t is lawful in Atlanta. Ca, for a
nan TO kiss his wife on the street, or
anywhere else. The courts have so
decided in the case of Ezekiel Martin,
United States soldier at Fort Nc
Pherson. 1t appeared at the trial
that he and his wife, who had not
seen each other for some time, met in
Dne OF the principal streets at Atlanta.
Martin was so delighted that he
kissed her, then and there, and, not
only that, but he Rugged her and it
took large number OF repetitious of
these affectionate demonstration to
express his feelings. A large num-
.er of people witnessed the perfOr-
nance and were highly delightly with
1t. but policeman was scandalized
and proceeded to apprehend Martin
for disOrderly conduct. The court
iid not sustain his view of TIE case
but held that it was entirely in order
for a man to hug and kiss his wife
wherever he pleased. Thereupon the
happy couple. kissed in court and
went about their business hand in
hand.

Strange drinks are served in the pro-

Some one Is trying to create trouble

and in the rivers they shall be
an abomination unto YOU"
Fifty three men were engaged in

A COLORED ARISTOCRACY.
Negroes Preparing to Establish q Caste
Line in Alabama.

Negroes Preparing to Establish q Caste
Line in Alabama.
The ex-slaves of Alabama are prepar-
ing to organize an association to which
none of the late-day negroes will be ad-
mitted. After the association has been
organized it is intended to have state
associations, and then take in all the
old-time negroes of the slave-holding
states.
And why not, pray? These ex-slaves
belonged" to the best families of the
south, and they base their claims to
social supe iority upon their aristo-
cratic connections before the war. In
good breeding and imposing bearing
it would be hard to find their equals
among the best educated of what they
sometimes condescendingly call "the
late-day negroes" Many of them en-
joyed social advantages of the highest
order. The old house servants had con-
stantly before their eyes some Of the
best types of ladies and gentlemen to
be found in the world. They studied the
manners of their masters and mis-
tresses, initiated their style of conversa-
ton, and insensibly modelled them
selves In all particulars after the fine
examples before them. Many years of
freedom have not impaired their good
breeding nor their pride in the social
school in which they were brought up.
They feel that they belong to socially
distinguished class, that they have a
past worth cherishing and preserving,
and that they have a right to be ex-
elusive. Why should they not found
society Of their own, based on their
social traditions? Possibly, IL they
were to investigate the subject closely
they would be able to discover many
deeds Of merit and courage performed
by their ancestors in colonial and revo-
lutionary times which would entitle
them to form revolutionary and colon
ial societies. At present they only pro-
pose to go back to the general period in
time designated by the phrase before
the war;" The colonial and revolution
airy pedigree may and probably will
come later.

TIE WINNING OF FAME.
Ono of the Ways In Which a Man May
Pesaetuate His Memory.

A man may win widespread and
long enduring fame by founding an in
stitution of learning which shall bear
his name, says New York Sun. The
cry Cornell was heard over England
last week-it had long been familiar 10
the United States; and the years have
added lustre to the memory Of Ezra
Cornell, who founded the university at
Ithaca, n. Y, which was chartered
thirty years ago, and opened for STU
dents in 1868, during the Presidency Of
Andrew Johnson. The name Of the
Rev. John Harvard of England and
Massachusetts has been commemorated
for more than two centuries and half
as the founder of Harvard college, now
known as Harvard university. The
name of Elihu Yale, born in New
Haven, Conn.,, died in England, is en-
balmed in Yale university, formerly
known as Yale college, which enjoyed
his benefactions in the first quarter OF
the eighteenth century. In California
there is Stanford university, named af-
ter son of the late Leland Stanford (;
there is the Johns Hopkins university
in Baltimore; there is Vanderbilt uni
versity in Tennessee: there is Vassar
college near Poughkeepsie called after
Matthew Vassar, and there are many
other universities or colleges called af-
ter their founders or benefactors. The
Rev DR.. Marcus Whitman, a pioneer in
the farthest west, is concentrated in
Whitman college, soon to be university,
In the state of Washington. If one can
not found university or college, a
seminary may serve to perpetuate his
name. At East Hampton, in Massa-
chusetts, there is Williston seminary,
named after their founders. 1t may be
ton; and there are in the country hun
dreds Of other institutions of the kind
named after their founders. 1t may be
inferred from the examples here that
the man who desires to perpetuate his
memory would do we'll to establish a
university; college, seminary, or other
institution of learning, and give it his
name.

BEES AT ASCOT.

They Made Things Lively at the Race
Track for a While.
A curious incident occurred at Ascot.
While large number of pleasant
luncheon parties were enjoying the de-
lights of an open-air repast in the gar
dens behind the grand stand great
swarm of bees settled down on the
guests around table in a corner, says
London Telegraph. They buzzed and
buzzed everywhere. Ladies had bees in
their bonnets and gentlemen found
their hats turned into striking like
nesses Of Catch em-alive-oh's." Some
Of the swarm settled on the cold sal
mon, and other members of 1t tumbled
into the champagne cup. In fact, the
bees created the greatest CONSERVATION
among the ladies and gentlemen In
that portion of the grounds. They were
gradually drawn off the luncheon party
by gentleman, to whom occurred the
happy idea of treating them to little
music on a metal tray under tree.
After the tapping or tinkling on the
article had continued for two or three
moments the queen bee settled on the
branches above to listen to it, and was
at once followed by all the swarm. 1t
was an extraordinary sight to see hun
dreds Of the insects hanging like great
black and gold clusters on the tree
while the tinklink continued. 1t ceased
with the luncheon, and the bees did no
more harm. In the earlier part of the
performance lady was pretty severely
stung.

HE SAW SNAKES.
They Were Real Ones, but He Higned
the Pledge.

the Pledge.
A good story is told about Major Bar
tow Of Georgia. This gentleman's ex-
citing war "reminiscences, together with
his ability to absorb the product Of the
still without apparent injury to his
constitution or impeachment to his loco
motion, earned him fame and great
prestige among the convivial spirits In
his native town. The major, while sup
erintending the cultivation Of his to-
bacco crop, one day found six pretty
round eggs, and so greatly pleased was
he at their beautiful appearance that
he picked them up, and carefully wrap
ping them in his handkerchief slowed
them away in his pocket, intending to
take them home as playthings for his
grandchildren.
He forgot all about them, however,
and indeed for several days thereafter
the eggs remained undisturbed. In the
meanwhile, assisted by the warmth Of
the surroundings, nature had wrought
a change-the eggs were no longer

destined to give the unconscious owner
of their birthplace such a shock as he
had never experienced since the hour Of
his first battle. 1t happened thus: One
evening the major was entertaining a
group of his admiring friends with a
most exciting chapter from his expert
ence on the tented field, when in the
course of his narrative he paused, drew
out his 'kerchief to wipe his face, and
10! six very lively little snakes wiggled
down the front of his waistcoat and
onto the table at which he sat. The
majors face was study for the cam
era; his eyes bulged out till they ap-
peared twice their natural size, his
mouth became a cavern, and his COM
plexion changed from brick red to a
leaden hue. He remained tranfixed for
the space of twenty seconds. then with
a yell that could be heard half over the
village he fled out into the night.
Rumor has it that he signed the
pledge before morning, but the rumor
has no foundation in fact.
