gambling. We in our church do not sanction
lotteries or raff1es of any kind and think it
would be better for the community if they
could be stopped altogether. The CALL is
moving in the right direction and it is to be
praised orwhat ii is doing to put stop to this
sort of gambling. AS for myself am against
any kind of lottery, be it in the church or else
where.
The Rev. Hermann Cordes, pastor of
the Emanuel Church of the Evangelical
Association, said:
The resolution adopted by the Methodists in
dorsing the CALL for its stand on the lottery
question meets my views, and indorse that
action. am glad to see that the matter OF lot
terieS is being agitated and that effort is be-
ing made to have them stopped, If possible. 1
have on many occasions preached against the
evil of dealing in lottery schemes, and have
addressed myself particularly to the younger
members of the congregation There are many
who seem to think that there is no harm In
dealing in lotteries but there is q great deal of
harm in such dealing. Every means, legitimate
of course, should be used to stop that kind of
business. Ny opposition TO this style of thing
extends to all kinds of gambling, and am OPP
posed to any kind of scheme where property is
disposed OF by chance even in church fairs or
charitable entertainments.
Rev. Paul Branke, pastor of the St. Paul
German Evangelical Lutheran Church,
said:
am against lotteries first and last, for the
reason that they take money from people who
least can AFFORD to spend their money that way.
1t is not legitimate way of securing money.
Heart and soul l am in favor of any movement
that will stop this gambling, and l am sure
that the CALL is entitled TO the respect of all
good citizens for refusing to publish any adver-
tisement of lotteries as the result OF the draw
ings. Now that this crusade is on / shall, when
ever an opportunity presents ITSELF point out
70 my e otaT rne c e results d
this subject during my house to house visits.
The Rev. w. G. Pond of Bethany Con-
gregatlonal Church commended THE CALL
and declares that he is opposed to all kinds
of lotteries. He said:

WAS OUT OF WORK.
Complaint of Mrs. Mary Merh1e Against
Her Husband.

Mrs. Mary Merhle. living at PAT Oak
street, made touching complaint to Secre.
tary McComb yesterday against her hus-
band John Merhle, varnisher by occupa-
ton.
Mehrle worked at his trade for years in
this city, but on getting out of work some
time ago, he despaired of being able to
longer provide for his family. He became
melancholic and acted like an insane man,
and finally deserted her. 81 saw nothing
of him for some time," said Mrs. Merhle,
'but week ago he returned to our house,
and without saying word, broke up
nearly all of our furniture. He must be
crazy. He was no drinking man, but
constant brooding over our troubles has
unhinged his mind"
Secretary McComb has detailed Officer
Wells on the case, and it is likely that
Merhle will be arrested to-day. 1t is likely
that on his wife's complaint he will be
examined for insanity.

INSTALLING A MINISTER,
Rev. F. A. Doane to Become
the First Pastor of Mizpah
Church.
THE SERVICES ON SUNDAY.
Organization of the Mission to
Advance the Cause Of Tenn
peranCe.

The installation of Rev. F. A. Doane as
pastor of Mizpah Presbyterian Church at
o'clock P. NJ. on Sunday next marks an i'm
portant chapter in the history of the mis-
sion. 1t was formerly the Howard Band
of Hope, and was organized on January IL,
1884. It's object was to advance the cause
of Christian temperance among young
people, by having them sign pledge
against the use of intoxicating liquors, to-
bacco and profanity.
The following were charter members:
Mrs. w. Churchill Mrs. John Mckee (nee
Boole), g. D. B. Stewart, Herbert Folger,
William Rieger, Wales L. Palmer, Thomas
M. Gardiner and Fred A, Doane, directors;
also Miss Fannie Perkins, Miss Lima
Fraser, Miss Annie Eatwell, Miss Oracle
Grant, Miss Annie Perkins, Miss Margaret
Coutts, Miss Edith Grant, Miss Ada Smith,
Miss Lauretta Wright, Miss Alice Good
ridge, Miss Florence Mayhem and Walter
B olton.
From this beginning the band rapidly
grew in membership, and the desire to ex-
tend the work became SO strong that the
Christian Band of Hope Union was organ
lied in August of the same year, under the
auspices of which it was purposed to organ
ize Bands of Hope upon strictly Christian
principles.
Within year two bands were started in
Oakland, and another in this city. Several
interesting conventions were held, which
were promoters of great good.
The Sabbath-school was organized in
November, 1887, with four teachers and
fifteen scholars. The school fiourished,
and as the months rolled by the mission
1898, when the Mizpah Presbyterian
Church was organized. A beautiful chapel
was built on Harrison street, near Fifth,
and was opened last year.

pastor of the church on Sunday, has been

THE CALENDAR TO BE CLEARED.
United States District Judge Hawley of
Montana VIII Hold Court Here.

Very little has been done in the Federal
building since the close of the strikers
trial. Judge Morrow has been indisposed
and in consequence there has been no
session of the District Court. A suit
against the Singer Sewing Machine Com
pany for damages for the infringement of a
patent, on trial in the Circ7it Court, and
the income-tax returns pouring into the
Internal Revenue Office are the only signs
of life around the big building.
This will all be changed in week or so,
however. Judge Hawley is coming here
from Nevada and will probably try the
Howell counterfeiting CASE, while Judge
Morrow will hear the evidence against
Professor Burke, charged with sweating
and passing $40 gold pieces. Judge Nc
Kenna will hear civil cases and the crowds
of witnesses who will be in attendance on
these three courts are expected to give
quite busy appearance to the corridors of
the building.

To the Editor of the Morning Cdtt-DEAR SIR:
/ send the following communication, showing
one illustration of the interest taken in your
paper:
An editorial in the MORNING CALL of April
6, 1895, brings to mind some remarks made
the evening before by a speaker while attend
ing the annual convention of the Oakland
District Epworth League, held at the Park
street Methodist Episcopal Church, Alameda.
The speaker referred to took for his subject
'Our Opportunities" dwelling principally on
the subject of true manhood and honest bust
ness methods; also the public press, regarding
which he said: "And l am glad to see that one
paper, the MORNING CALL [applausel, comes
boldly to the front and denounces all methods
of publishing the various lottery drawings"
Continued applause.l
| send this short communication to show
that the chief aim is for the right and its OBJ
ject could be reached more readily if other
branches of the public press were to throw off
their old and worn out mantle and come more
boldly to the front, clad in robes of honor and
proper respect for our country's interest.

Northey,s SLAYER.

Judge Sanderson yesterday granted divorce
to Lizzie Thorn from Harry Thorn on the testi-
mony of plaintiff and Mrs. C. A. McCauley. The
defendant defaulted, and the plaintiff was
represented by Attorney Alderman of Naph-
tally, Friedenrich d Alderman. 1t was shown
that Thorn had willfully neglected his wife,
and on that ground the decree was granted.
The custody of minor child was awarded to
the mother. Harry Thorn was the man who
fatally shot Frank Northey in Garcia's saloon
and was acquitted of the charge of murder for
the deed.

A Bloody Fight.

Pensioners when we revive the his

that their forefathers have seen the
bloody flag waived over this nation
they have seen the weeping wife as
she held her darling babe to her ach-
ing heart and salute for the last time
him who went forth to fight for right
and liberty. These young merchants
have not faced the cannon and Cat
ling guns as did their forefathers but
they are fighting their competitors
with the same bravery. courage and
ambition as did Col. Bob, Capt. Jim,
and Capt. Wal. Armstrong In the
good old days Of yore when you
fought for the rights and liberties we
all now enjoy. For the patriotic
spirit these boys have for you, they

called on him shortly afterward and
the result was that Mr.. Lumpkin
purchased sufficient land for the CON-
mencing of the little town.
In letter afterwards written to his
daughter Governor Lumpkin states
that his anticipatoas of the future of
the little town fell far short of the
facts. Otherwise he would have pur-
chased much larger tract Of land
from Mr.. Mitchell.
The question Of naming Atlanta
was taken up and it was suggested by
Governor Lumkin's associates that
the place be called after him, Lump
kin. Against this he strenuously pro-
tested, saying that there was already
a county in the state named for him,
as well as a small town. He suggest
ed that the new town be called
Mitchell
A few days afterwards he was in
formed that the city had been named
Marthasville, for his pretty young
daughter. By that name it was known
for several years, until the name was
changed to Atlanta. Governor Lump
kin was very angry because of the
the change, but stated that it did not
matter, as the honor had certainly not
been sought by any member of his
family.
The honored lady for whom this
city was first named is now living
very quietly in her quait old home
near Athens. 1t is made of rough
granite and is very old. She is lady
of sweet disposition and strong
character.
1t is a rather remarkable coinci-
dence that she should bear both Of
the names by which this city has been
named. One of her names is Atlanta.
and there is an interesting story con-
nected with the way in which it was
given her.
When she was a child Of eight
months she was left standing on sill
where new house was being built.
Although she was qnite young, in
stinct warned her that the only way
of saving her life was to walk and
she walked. From that incident her
father gave her the name of Atlanta,
the goddess of swiftness. 1t is by the
merest coincidence that she happen
ed to possess name so nearly like
the one afterwards selected for her.
The visit of Mrs. Compton will be
quite an event in the history Of the
city, as she has not been here in sew
eral years, and there is every pros
pect that she will be shown much
attention while here.

this city was first named, will be

She will be the guest of a cousin,
Mrs. William Briggs, and will remain

When this city was laid out as a
town, many years ago, it was named
Marthasville, in honor of Miss Martha
Lumpkin, the lady who will visit this
city today. She was the youngest
daughter of Hon. Wilson Lumkin,
who served this state as governor,
United States senator and in many
other important capacities. AT tina,

of sixteen, and resided in Athens, Ga.
