Rarely if ever did so many repub-

BUSINESS MAN DISAPPEARS.
Alexandria Full OF RumOrs Over the
Absence of Jacob Brown.

The unexplained absence of Mr. Jacob
Brown for several days from his home at
Alexandria, is causing some anxiety to his
many friends in that city.
Mr.. Brown is the confidential clerk OF
Messrs. Eichenberg & Co. Of a lexa ndria and
has recently been travelling in their in
terest. He went off on tour of the
lower counties some days ago and the ia Ct
that he did not return within the usual
time has given rise to the suspicion that
Some mishap may have befallen him.
An effort was made to obtain the facts
in the case from Mr.. Louis E!chberg. OF
the firm, last night. bat he declined TO talk
on the subject. saying that it was matter
that only concerned the firm. Mr.. Eich
berg would neither affirm nor deny the
reports current growing out Of Mr. Browns
unexplained absence.
Mr.. Brown has a wife and three children.
stands high in the public esteem and was
considered in easy circumstances. 1t Is
said that only short time ago the prop
erty OF Mrs. Brown valued at about 81 8 900
was sold and the proceeds placed in bank.
1t is believed by Mr.. Browns friends that
he has merely been della yed at some country
place and will probably explain the delay
personally when he returns.

is something more than this. 1t involves
the cleaving to one another of husband and
wife in sickness. in health, for better, for
worse, until death them do part" The
greater the suffering of one, the greater in
proportion should be the devotion of the
other. The very thought that such a thing
as contemplated by the German law is
possible must stand like a spectre before
the eye OF both husband and wife at the
moment they exchange vows OF affection
and trust a nd fidelity. The idea is utterly
repugnant to every principle of morality,
OF justice and conjugal relation. Is it
not frightfui to think that because of
such an affliction the wife has been a
faithful companion and helpmeet to her
husband, the mother Of his children, can
be stadriftby him or that the husband can
be forsaken under sanction Of the law
by the wife for whose comfort he has toiled
for years.
Better things than this might have been
expected from Germany, whose people
vaunt their sentimentality and their love
OF home and family. The most charitable
construction to be placed upon this law
is that the Reichstag when it passed the
same must itself have been in state OF
temporary mental alteration which, it is
hoped. viii be cured by the corrective of
public opinion Of other civilized nations.

MATCHES IN WAR TIMES.
Amusing Uncertainty of Homemade
Sulphur Sticks.
Chicago Timts-Herdtd.

The late war caused the Southern people
to realize the utter helplessness OF purely
agricultural community when thrown upon
its own resources and cut off from COM
munication with the outside world.
As the months rolled ON it became more
difficult for the inhabitants OF the Con-
fcderacy TO supply themselves with many
OF the necessaries and conveniences OF
everyday life. Matches, for Instance, were
used by millions of people, but it was I'M
possible to run them through the blockade
in sufficient quantities. 1t soon became
evident that they must be manufactured at
home but how was it to be done? The
machinery was lacking, and also the ma
terials.
James Mcpherson, publc-spirited book
seller IN Atlanta, was One OF the first to at
tempt to solve the problem. Atconsiderabie
expense he succeeded in getting some ma
chinery, phosphorus and sulphur through
the blockade, and in short time his match
factory was in operation.
The factory was situated few miles from
the city, and the matches We're stored in
McPherson's book store and sold there by
wholesale and retail They were made of
poplar and sold in square blocks, the factory
not being provided with machine that
would separate the matches.
inexperienced workmen found it hard
matter to turn out matches that would
light. At first about the only way TO make
them available was to bring them in cen
tact with dying embers in Il fireplace, but
this was inconvenient. and efforts were
made to improve their quality. Finally the
composition was changed, and the matches
blaZed up a t the lightest touch
1t was not necessary to strike them.
They were self-acting. AID unexpectedly
broke out a. odd hours OF the da Y and night.
The clerks in the took store had double
work in those exciting days. When they
were selling looks they had to witch the
big boxes containing the matches and roll
them out into the street the moment they
began to smoke. Once in the street, the
boxes would be emrt;ed ard the contents
left until they were reduced TO ashes.
There was Eot much profit in an article
containing the elements Of SELF destruction.
and night watchman had to lie employed
to remain in the store and drag out the
boxes as soon as they showed indications
Of spontaneous combustion. But the fac
tory was an Atlanta enterprise. and the
people were proud Of it. At least it was
q beginning. 1t was a sign OF premise. and
showed that in spite Ct the blockade there
were enterprisins men in the Sor'h who
had the pluck and energy to risk their for
tunes and go to work 10 build up the in
dustries OF the country.
1t was not long before the discovery was
made that the composition used fer the
matches was first-class rat poison. Here
was Il new source Of revenue for the manu-
facturer The stuff was put up in little
tin FOXES and advertised as rat eXtef-
