MUST CHOOSE WIVES.

Bachelors to be Made to Marry
Whether They Choose or Not.
New York, Aug. 23.-Charlotte
Smith, president of the Woman's Res
cue league, called on the Central La
Dor union to explain her new scheme
for compelling marriageable bachel-
ors to marry, She was too late to get
the floor, but she buttonholed several
of the delegates.
She said she had statistics to show
that there was an intimate' connection
between her scheme and the labor
question. The great competition of
women in the field of labor, she held,
was because sixty per cent. of the
men refused to marry:
She said she was going to Boston
TO start a campaign against the Re
publican and Democratic candidates
for mayor because both of them were
bachelors. She does not believe that
bachelor ought to hold an elective
office, because no man could possibly
act on questions Of public morality
unless he was married. She was pre-
pairing a pamphlet upon her scheme
and intended to show that if bachel-
ors were compelled to marry and the
army of young women were to become
housewives and mothers, wages would
go up. Even If all the bachelors in
Greater New York were to marry
there would still be one hun
dred thousand women without hus-
bands.
1t is reported from Boston that Mr..
Curtis, the Republican candidate for
mayor Of that city, has already an
nounced his engagement to young
| woman.

Sante Fe, n. NJ, Aug. 23.-The hear
ing of the case of the United States
government in it's attempt to restrain,
by Injunction proceedings, the Rio
Grande Dam and Navigation company
from daming the Rio Grande at FL
ephant Butte and appropriating the
flood waters of the stream for irriga-
ton and domestic purposes, was be-
gun in the Supreme court of New
Mexico today. The government was
defeated in the lower court. 1t is said
that United States Attorney Childers
has practically abandoned the conten-
ton that this stream is navigable in
New Mexico and will make his contest
chiefly upon the point that an OBJ
struction of water in this territory
would seriously affect the navigability
thereof near its mouth and about La
redo. The decision will probably be
given about the last of September at
the adjourned session in order that the
case may be promptly carried to the
United States Supreme court.

Wichita, Kan, Aug. 23.-The only
Sunday school in the United States
conducted by telephone is that conect-
ed with the First Methodist Episcopal
church here, and directed by Supt. w.
f. Stanley, from his sick bed. The

ditorium and to make his voice audi
BILE to the people assembled there. He
requested the pastor, DR.. f. B. Stultz,

A SLIGHT WRECK.
Owing to Slow Speed Terrible Loss
of Life is Averted..


Chicago, Aug. 23.-An engine at
tached to a heavy excursion train on
the Chicago and Calumet Terminal
railroad was derailed last night near
Riverdale. The passengers were
thrown from their seats by the jar
and one man was probably injured
fatally. Seven others received slight
injuries. After a delay of two hours
the engine was raised to the track
and the train proceeded.
1t is very evident that the accident
was caused by a misplaced switch,
believed to have been the work Of
tramps. The baggage car was teles-
COPIED over the cab and coal tender.
Murray was riding in the car and was
caught in the debris. He was dug out
unconscious.
The force of the shock was so great
that the track was literally torn out
of the ground. There were 500 pas
sengers on board and had the train
not been running slow a terrible loss
of life would have resulted.

THE AUGUSTA SINGERS CHORUS.
Great Progress Madeline Opportuniiie:
for Those Who Sing.

The Augusta Singers Chorus, to par
ticipate in the Maine festival at Lewis
ton, next October, has proved a pro.
nounced success, and those who sing al
all, and have joined the chorus, thor
oughly appreciate the advantages
which they have obtained by joining
the organization which sings together
every week at the vestry of the Uni
versalist church.
Judge Philbrook is very much liked
by all the singers as a conductor, and
from the way that he interests them ir
the work-not so much a work, per.
haps, as it is pleasure. When it was
learned that he would continue ir
charge they were pleased enough, ant
the musical interests of the city car
well be congratulated in having Sc
thorough a musician in their midst
He has his own ideas about singing
and knows how to express them so thai
the singers have no question of his
meaning.
They have made great progress in
the past few weeks, and it's a pleasure
to hear them sing. They have gotter
out of the common habit of Tagging
along, and, with the phrasing and ex-
preston that Judge Philbrook has in
structed them, they do very good work
It's an education, that's what it lis
and an opportunity that one can't well
afford to miss.

H. w. NOrcrOss recently went to Bos-
ton on business trip, and his faithful
dog saw him off at the station. When
the train departed, the animal was AL
broken up" and it was all one man
could do to keep the noble mastiff from
jumping aboard as the train departed.
All the rest of the day, as the trains
came i'll from the east and left for
down river, the dog was sure to be
there, trying his best to jump on and
follow up his master. Mrs. Norcross
also went, and the dog was very lone
some. Once, when he had been held
until the rear of the train had got lust
beyond the Winthrop Street crossing.
the man who had been holding him let
him go. Half in doubt the dog started
at trot. AS hope and decision grew
in his almost human mind, he started
at faster pace. Then a lot of boys,
who had gathered about the station,
yelled in derision at the thought of the
dogs making such a bid for the train.
then almost around the bend This the
dog seemed to keenly feel, for as the
yell reached his ears. he half sneaked
along, no longer with head erect, but
as II he realized he was making a show
OF himself. When past the boys, he
again started up rapid clip, and was;
seen disappearing around the bend to-
wards Hallowell. his long legs flying
through the mud, in the hopeless chase

AUGUSTA LOCALS.
LEGISLATORS EXODUS.
Many Leave Tor Their Respective Homes
Saturday Busy Times Ahead.

There was general exodus, Satur-
day, of the legislators, and those who
have been passing the winter here with
them. OF course, q number had to re-
main over on account of the session.
but, with valises and trunks, most of
them departed for their several homes
They will be very much missed, and
they have so entered into the life in
our city that 1t seemed as if they had
become residents here. They have at
tended number of the many affairs
which have taken place during the
winter They have played whist and
danced with us, and in the society
''whirl," If that isn't saying too much
they have made it all very pleasant.
Don't you KNOW" said one depart
ing lady to another, her face wearing
a decided, anxious look, There is SO
much to be done in the springtime. So
much, you know"
Yes, indeed" replied the other, Il
am so far behind in all my work. ]
don't know what in the world l shall
do
And, with Easter bonnets to be or
dered from their favorite milliners, new
dresses to look after and spring clean
ing, the many little details of woman's
life that even when looked after day
by day, will persist in getting behind.
The lady visitor of our city, who has
been here accompanying her husband
or her father, or her son, will go home
to face mountain of work. It's no
laughing matter. But the pleasure OF
sojourn in Augusta, will be lasting
compensation for it, with the many
pleasant memories that will remain.
The legislator, too, has business
enough to look after. Whatever be his
occupation it is sure to have fallen be-
hind, and in his expression, also, could
be seen the look of one who is thinking
ahead of things to come, which lay as
an incubus on his mind. What wonder
then that some were impatient when
the baggage was delayed, or, if they
imagined it were delayed? Who
blames them? sin
