slaves to bad whiskey and bad wo-
men. Since the public have be-
come acquainted with the immoral
life they have been leading, they
are not very much surprised at the
outcome.
The sa1dest &C ,ae in the TRACE
dy is when we turn our eyes from
the principals a11 look at the con-
dition of the woman's two little
children, a by and girl aged FIVE
and seven. Without father or
mother, without home, except in
a negro home; brought up by a
negress, who for aught we know
may be respectable, yet tits far from
the training and surroundings they
ought to have.
This is nothing compared to the
disgrace of a prostitute mother,
murdered while engaged In her
hellish orgies with a drunken par
amour. These children are limo
cent victims of the curse Of drink
and debaucherY. They are emit
tied to the sympathy, care and
consideration of our good people
who come to the rescue in such
cases; not for the mothers sake
but for the sake of humanity.
Draw a curtain over The dark deeds
of the mother and care for these
little ones as Christ cared for the
woman at the well.

GEORGIA MINSTRELS.

There was a good s;z:d audience
az English's last night, and fun
reigued fast and furious fer well
on to three hours. The attraction
was the Georgia Minstrsls, and
these colored performers certainly
furnished sweet music and enter
tainnent in plenty. Their sing
ing, dancing and comic features
are exceptionally clever, and ttey
give a bright performance all
through.
Billy Kersands and James White
furnish much of the fun in the
first part. They are aided by Jas
Moore and Billy Reynolds. Ker-
sands, of course, is well known to
everybody as the most famous of
all colored minstrels. He is in
imitable. There ere numerous
features in the frs: part which
more pretentious minstrel organi,
zations would do We'll to copy,
though it would be hard to get as
much out Of them IS these Gsor-
gias do.
In the olio IS Ja!van, the jugg.er,
who introduces several entirely
new feats in that line, and WHO is
much better than the usual run of
! jugglers. The female impsrsona-
tions of Gauze are among the best
ever seen here. The four old
sports-Moore, Hillman, Vernon
and White-do clever act, and
| the Crescent City Qasrtetteis an
excellent one. Billy Kersands IS,
of course, entertaining in his spec
ialty. The entire show is goCd d.
The aim of the Georgias is to give
an old-time minstrel performance,
and they give it well.-Indianapo,

munitY has been called upon to
mourn the death Of three of our
most prominent and useful men.
They were men whose influence
for good has reached beyond the
borders of the state. First was
Mr.. B. AREN'T, who was coEsid-
cred the phosphate king of the
south. His energies, industry and
capital gave employment to more
men than any other concern in the
state and his death is a serious loss
to the whole state. Next came
Capt. ]. A. Larnerd, whose servi-
ces as a railroad man can only be
appreciated after he is gone and it
becomes necessary to fad his sue
cessor. His work and influence,
although helpless paralytic, was
one of the most important factors
in the workings of the great Plat
System. Last but not least was
the aged and revered DR.. Thomp-
son, who passed into his eternal
rest yesterday afternoon. During
the thirteen years of his life in
this city he has made a record of
which any man might well feel
proud. In all public enterprises
his heart and hand were ever open
to build up aud develop the city.
In this connection we might also
mention Major Rocks Of Fruitland
Park, who died two weeks ago.
All through middle Florida his
name was almost a family byword.
His many good deeds will live for
centuries. Our community deep
ly feels the loss of such men. We
can i'll afford to let them go and
can only hope for more such men
to fill their places.
God give US men! A time like this
demands
S-rsng minds, great hearts, true
faith and ready hands.
Men whom the lust of office does
not kill;
Men who possess opinions and a
will;
Men whom the spoils of office can
not buy;
Men who have honor-men WHO
will not lie;
Men who can stand before a DEM
agogue
And scorn his treacherous fiatter-
les without winking;
Tall men-sun crowned-who live
above the fog,
In public duty and in private
thinking.

JACQUES CONSUMING BATTERY.

Ihe most important recent Developments
ia The scientific and industrial world were
discussed at one OF the regular monthly
meetings of the FRANKLIN Institute The
latest prominent feature of the scicntifc
world is the Jacques carbon consuming bat
terry, which produces electric energy Ar
counts OF which were published some months
at7G. {. j. Reed gave an exhibition of the
battery and discussion of its action, to-
geiher with n battery of his own invention
which lie calls 'thcrmotropic baticry-'
Tie jacques battery, from apparently CON
elusive experiments shown last night, does
not derive its electrical energy from tn,
consumption of the carbon in tie cell, as
claimedb byits inventor, but from the thermo-
electric action OF the combination, an iron
pot containing cell and rod of carbon
Mr.. Reed showed that other substances
might be substituted for the carbon and
very much better results obtained namely,
copper, iron, steel, aluminium. and German
silver. Dr. Jacques, however, Mr. Reed
pointed out, has produced in reality au
improved form of thermo-elcctric couple
many times as efficient as the old form,
where two diSsmilar metals were welded
together, and only very small fraction of

AGE OF THIS SPHERE.
Recent Excavations Show the World
to BE Much Older Than Supposed.

According to scriptural chronology, the
world is about $500 years old, the theory
most generally accepted tcing that the Gre
alton occurred 4,G04 years before the be-
ginning of the Christian era. Professors
Haynes and Hillpracht Of the University
of Pennsylvania, who have been conducting
excavations in the ruins Of the East, have
recently made discoveries which seem
to prove high state of civilization 1000
years before the birth of Christ
Large numbers Of stone tablets have been
found in Nipur, tie buried city of the Eu-
pirates, which carry back human written
history nearly 3,CC0 years further than any
records heretofore known. Prof. s. A Bin
ion, an eminent archaeologist and Egyp-
tologist, a member OF tie EibhcalArcbaeo-
logical Society OF London, says. Not a
doubt has been expressed S to the cor
rectucss OF tie dates OF the tablets taken
from the prehistoric Nipur and which have
just been deciphcred. Assyrian Chronology
up to the time OF SargoD is not SO much
beset with Obstacles q S the Egyptian. Their
scrihes put down tie dates, counting the
years from tile accession Of various rulers
The day of the month and the year are
invariably given on these tablets, and as
their months are lunar, hearing the same
X
present Jewish calendar, it is within easy
reach OF the chrouologiSt.'' Nipur is upon
the very SPOT where the garden of Eden
is thought to have been situated and a
few miles from the Tower of Babel. The
ruins from which the tablets were exca-
waited are under more than thirty-six feet
OF Garth, upon TIE top OF which were ruins
of the ancient city OF Nipur, regarded by
archaeologists as one of the oldest known.
Both of these cities, one under the other,
had the same name, although they were
separated by more than . 900 years Of tine,
Professor Binion is of the opinion in his in
teresting review of archaeological dis
coyeTies. that the first city or Nipur, the
prehistoric city, was wiped out by the
deluge described in the Bible. The ex-
cavations We're begun in 1888, and through
the niuuifIccnce of friends OF the University
of PENNSYLVANIA have been continued up
to the present time. The explorers have
been richly rewarded for their labors, al
though the result apparently upsets the
reckoning of biblical scholars.
