A DESERTED BABE
LEFT BY PRETENDED HUSBAND AND
 WIFE IN HOUSE IN DECATUR.

LEFT BY PRETENDED HUSBAND AND
 WIFE IN HOUSE IN DECATUR.
 DEC ATUR, Feb. 2S.-[Special Corre- spondence. About two mouths ago a man calling himself c. P. Jones, hailing from don't know where, accompanied by young woman who posed as the wife of this man, came to Decatur. The woman was in delicate condition. The couple took rooms and board with the Barn es Bros., restaurant men, for some time. They tben rented a small cottage in the most fashionable part of the city, where they lived until last night, and left during the night for parts unknown, leaving an infant locked up in the house, apparently about month old, which had been born since their residence in Decatur. They left $25 with the child, and note telling their neighbors that any one caring for the child would be well paid for 1t. The note was thrown with a key to the house in which the baby was left upon the porch floor of Q neighbor and the baby was found this morning alone in the house. It trans- pires that this MT. Jones had plenty Of money. At various times be received money orders from Prattville, Ala. re- mitted by c. s. F. Dartee, one of which was for ST5, and cashed on yesterday. It is said by the ladies that the young woman was very sensitive about what the neigh bors would want to know concerning her maiden name and her delicate condition. It is believed now by the people of Decatur that knew these parties that they were D ot man and wife, and that they came in hid- ing to cover the shame of one or both of them. The people are indignant at the way the little babe was left and the man. ner of the leaving, and ask that the press of the state join in in handing around their ill., behavior.

IN LINE FOR ATLANTA.

Birmingham and Montgomery are in line for the Atlanta Exposition. This means really the success of the movement. The Commercial Club of Birmingham ap- pointed committee at its first meeting after the adjournment of the Legislature to report on the feasibility of plan for an Alabama exhibit, and the Montgomery Advertiser has made a suggestion which that committee adopted and will at once seek to render praetical-that is, to raise the necessary fund by popular sub scription, the press of the State 10 open subscription lists in their respective com- munities and give the move popular in- dorsement. There is 70 question but what a considerable sum can be raised in that way. To give the plan the widest possible influence the president of the Commercial Association of Alabama is asked to call that body together and formulate some plan for receiving the fund and arranging for the display. The committee deemed It best to use this organization, which em- braces ever commercial association in the State, for the purposes of securing State exhibit, and with the press of the State to take up the movement there is no reason why it should not be made speedy suc- cess. No time will be lost. The committee here is composed of our most enterprising and wide-awake citizens, and they will present their report to the club at the meeting this afternoon, when the matter will be ready for action.
 It is pleasing to see how the press of the State has responded to the requests of our Commercial Club, and it means much for Alabama if this line of work is continued, as it no doubt will be, until the whole State is benefited by it.

THINGS DRAMATIC.

Hallen and Hart, surrounded by splen- did company, appeared at O Brien's lasl night in "Later On, ,o a farce comedy in three acts. Only fair house greeted them, but every person in the house seemed to be pleased, for the company put up splen- did performance. Both Hallen and Hart are exceptionally good comedians, and when they fail to please an audience there must be something radically wrong. Not only are they clever entertainers, but their support is much better than the average show of the "Later On" type.
 Many new and catchy specialties were in : troduced which added greatly to the pleas ure of the performance.
 Carrie Demar did dancing specially that was par excellence, and as reward she received several encores.
 Master Arthur Levy sprung surprise upon the audience by singing "The Side walks of New York'' from the dress circle. The surprise was greeted by wild applause. He has a rich voice, and with cultivation it means gold to him.
 By request of the newspaper men and others he repeated the song between the second and third acts and received an en- core.
 Mark Murphy, in his own Irish way, made plenty of fun for the audience.
 ''sHORE ACRES.''
 On Monday next at matinee and evening James A. Herne's beautiful play, "shore Acres, o will be the attraction. No higher tribute of praise for this magnifcently staged and purely American play than the words of Nym Crinkle in the New York World:
 "Whoever has given any heed to the last act of Mir. Herne's play, 'Shore Acres must have felt that there are some placid possibilities in drama that romanticism has not touched. The whole of this act, and in some sense the whole of the play, moves in an atmosphere that is new, and natural emotions into view that lay hold Of the sensibilities with tendril softuess.
 'As the curtain falls you have the same feeling of sad completeness that you feel as you watch the sun go down behind the western hills. You have seen it go down thousand times inst that way, but you would not have it go down any other way. All the changes Of color in the sun set were effected by extrinsic things that intervened between it aud you.
 1T call this last act of Mr. Herne's a sum- set act. Other dramatists have given us the setting of the sun, with the setting of red lights. Mir. Herne's play sets in q human heart, and he has made us, by ex- quisite touches both of idy llicism and real ism, enter so closely into the simple satis- faction of the human being before us that we take up the lamp with Uncle Nat and go up to bed, to lie down to pleasant dreams.
 ''fhe best proof that the poorest human heart is as rich in material as the dark uufathomed caves' may be found in this play of Mir. Herne's. He interests us in the normal uneventful type. He seizes upon a grain of goodness, and it grows into a tree, and the idyllic birds come and sing in it's branches.
 "Stupendous feat that, to make sterling. undem onstrative virtues nobly interesting in the theater, where the eye and the ear have so long been trained to expect excep- tional impulse and declaratsve force.

THE Populsts and Republicans of the North Carolina Legislature entered into an unhoiy alliance to stand by each other in any measure introduced by either side. Hence, when q colored Republican intro- duced those resolutions about Douglass the Pops had to vote for them. This has taught both the Pops and Reps lesson, and there will be less inclination to coalesce here after. In Alabama, especially, there will be no further coalition between the two. There are some good white men among the Pops, and they will not be caught in a trap.

INGERsoLL says tShakespeare had the brain of god,' and he pours before his shrine libation of eulogy that amounts to worship. But Ingersoll denies the exist ence of a God. Yet there is greater evil dence that God made the world than that Shakespeare wrote those immortal plays. The Great Creator of the drama that un- folds it's scenes to our eyes when the cur tain of night is rolled back left The imprint of his handiwork unmistakabIy there. The music of the spheres is his orchestra, the sun his calcium light, the stars his foot lights, the blue vault his flies, the clouds Lis wings, the earth his proscenium, the greensward his carpet, angels his actors and men his audience. He has written his drama with ray of light, and punctuated it with periods of time. Every cycle is an act, and eternity closes tue scene. He has written the drama on the scroll of the heavens, with constellations for commas, planets for periods, and gilded it with the milky way.

FRANCE is often referred to as an ex- ample of good governmental fnauciering. France illustrates the old saying that a 'public debt is public blessing" 1t places it's bonds at a low rate Of interest in the hands of the people and keeps them there. It does not attempt to pay off the debt. By placing the bonds in the hands of the people it binds the people to the government. This policy nips in the bud all efforts at anarchy at nihilsm and rev olution. If the United States had it's bonds in the hands of the people we should hear less of such schemes as the sub-treasury plan. The holders of the bonds would naturally desire that the government should be prosperous and able to redeem it's promises to pay. We should hear less of government ownership of railroads, for the experience of the government with the Pacific road shows that it is a money losing business.

THE resignation of Postmaster General Bissell was no surprise. He has longed to get back to his law office in Buffalo for some time. In fact, he accepted the office reluctantly, and only yielded to the soici- tation of the President, his old law part ner. MT. Bissell is very wealthy, and does not feel inclined to undergo the annoyances of official life. The appointment of Hon. William L. Wilson as his successor is 8 very happy selection, and reflects as much credit on the President as anyof his other excellent appointments. MT. Wilson is the foremost exponent of one of the cardi- nal doctrines of Democracy. He made Q gallant fight in the House for the tariff bill, and almost surrendered his life under the pressure of hard work. He is a man whom it is a delight to honor.

The Home saloon Of Bishop Fallows,
in Chicago. fools great many old to-
pers. His ide. is to make the place as
much like first class saloon rs possible
and to sell in it something as much like
beer as science could concSc without its
being the real thing. Tho saloon has a
big bar, with a substantial rail, from
which nang half u dozen towels. Back
of the bar is white coated bartender,
and back of him are big mirrors and
rows Of shelves, covered with black bot
ties bearing gaudy labols. A row of
lemons and bowl of cracked ice help
to make up the illusion. Every day some
thirsty victim wande4s in and orders
beer be gets glass of fonming
something that coois, may cheer, but
can't incb.iate. The victim usually
gulps it down, then opens and shuts his
mouth and tries TO recall the taste, while
u puzzled look spreads over his face.
Sometimes he asks questions, but usu-
ally he wallis slowly away, wondering
whether Cr rot his stomach is all right.

tie was the battle cf the people
against the encroachment or combin.
ed trust and corporate power. His
battle was the opening battle for the
election of all the more prominent
offices by popular vote just as the
less prominent offices are elected
1t is his close touch with the people,
that made him strong enough to
overcome a combination that had be-
guiled tho Governor to help them in
their schemes to get control of the
affairs of the State for no other pur.
pose than to enrich themselves at the

that Quay overcame would have
dragged the State into q series OF

THE EVIL EYE.

And How . Coincidence Helped 70 Rivet
rho Chains Of Superstition.
Miss Symonds and u party Of friends
had driven from Athens to tho foot Of
Hymettus in carriage drawn by two
horses The drive being over. the coach
man proceeded to give corn to his
horses. One Of them, however, would
not eat, but hung his head and refused
all food. The driver. in u state of wild
excitement, thereupon presented him
| self before his fares and declared, with
frenzied words, that one of the ladies
had Overlooked the suffering horse,
and that the beast was about to expire.
The only way to get it cured from tho
effects Of the evil eye was for the over
| looked to spit upon it, The driver ap-
pears to have had no doubt which lady
was the possessor Of the evil power ex-
ercised upon his animal. Naturally
enough, the lady in question had no
great fancy to try this primitive form
Of veterinary surgery and refused
The mans entreaties and adjuratiOns,
however. became SO vehement and SO
threatening that Mt last the alleged Dps-
SCISSOR of the evil eye had to yield. No
sooner had she spat upon the horse than
a most welcome change set i'll. The
beast, which had appeared to be at its
last gasp, promptly grew better. and
very soon was eating like its fellow. OF
course the change was due to coin
cidence. Probably the horse was at first
too tired to eat, but during the discus
sion ito spit or not to spit he no doubt
got rested. By the time, then, the cere-
mony was performed he was quite fit
for breakfast. 1t was, i'll fact, post hoe,
not propter hoe. The splitting and the
recovery following each other so closely
was q mere coincidence. But though
we may hold this view it was of course
not held by the Greek coachmsn. He.
we may be sure, felt ut once completely
confirmed in his belief in the evil eye.
The coincidence gave him what he
thought ample proof of the efficacy Of
his charm against Overlooking. If
nothing had happened, and the English
ladies had been able to laugh at him
for making one Of them do a disagree
able thing without any result, the driver
might have begun to think that, after
all, his Juggling rites were nonsense.
Depend upon it. the coincidence rivet-
ed the chains of superstition upon him
