Special to The Age-Herald.
Florence, Dec. 6.-Tnia municipal cleo

and will mark the close OF one of The
bitterest campaigns in local political his
tory. Mayor Robert Andrews. who has
held the office for nine years, is a candi-
date for reelection, while john B. Weak

the reform ticket. Both sides are claim
ing a Triumph at The polls, though the

What Humanitarians Are Dong
For the Children of the Coun nv

While the world is going steadily for
ward Notwithstanding the dfsma' predic-
lions OF the cynics ami psss,mists, per-
maps nd.hing is more encouraging to
those persons who love their fellow
man." than the great outlay of money
and energy now being expended in be-
half of the children of all civilized coun-
tries.
Hospitals, creches and free kindergar-
tens are being established in every city
and town of any pretension in America
and the active, aggressive women of to-
day aTe giving gladly of their time
wealth. and talents fer the betterment
of the physical and moral condition of
helpless children.
In Chicago there has recently been es-
tablished a hospital and oreche training
school where poor, unfortunate women
can place their II tie children when there
is no other refuge for them, and where
these mothers can be instructed i'm the
care and rearing of these miserable lit
tie waits of humanity.
In the majority of the large cities Of
the Uni ed States there are similar in
situations and many a poverty stricken
despairing mother has been rescued from
a suicides grave and from the fearful
sin of infanticide by their ministra-
TONS
In many southern towns much interest
is being exhibited i'm The organization
of free kindeIgartens for the children of
the very poor, and in nearly every in
stance their schools have proven of great
benefit to those for whom they are in
tended. Birmingham has not yet reached
the free kindergarten stage in her con-
antly growing civilization, but it is
safe ITO predict That the good women in
charge of the creches will, before a very
great while, see their way clear to the
establishment of kindergarten in con-
neetion with the day nursery.
No class of the human race is being
more benefl ed by the feminine activi-
ties of the present time than the little
childrn who always come very close to
THE heart of every true woman, whether
she be rich or poor new" or "old."

SOMEWHAT SURPRISING.
MIR. Vernon Beggs and Miss Mabel
TerriIl Married ON Last Monday.

The following bit of News In Tuesday, g
Globe-Democrst will cause quite lot of
exclam atory remarks in Santa Fe:
'This telegram was received from Rich
mond, KY, last night: Vernon Beggs OF
st. Louis, was married here at noon to-
day to Miss Mabel Terrill, the handsome
daughter of Captain R. B. Terrill, Rev.
Jaspar K. Smith, of the Presbyterian
church, officiating. The couple first met
last summer, when Miss Terrill visited
her aunt, Mrs. W. H. Wooton, at Santa
Fe, and it seems to have been case of
love at first sight. As the bride was not
out of her teens, and no intimidation
of the affair leaked out until the ar
rival here couple of days ago of the
bridegroom, the wedding created a
genuine sensation in society circles here.
Mr.. and Mrs. Beggs left this afternoon
for Washington, D. O., where they will
spend their honeymoon, after which they
will reside in st. Louis"
Miss Terrill, or rather Mrs. Beggs,
came to Santa Fe last spring to visit with
Mrs. Wooton, and met Mr.. Beggs, and
the result of that meeting is now known.
When the people of Santa Fe catch
their breath again, they will join with the
New MEXICAN in wishing the happy
couple long and happy life.

would result unless the disease was
checked. He visited New Mexico in 1881,
again in 1886 and spent sometime in
Santa Fe two years ago, making many
friends here. He then lntimated the be-
lief that, If he had permanently settled in
this territory in 1881, he would have
been cured.

visited by Bishop McCabe.


The scholastic routine was very agreea-
bly, broken yesterday at the university
by a visit from Bishop McOabe, who met
the students ia an impromptu assembly
and addressed them in his inimitable way,
says the Albuquerque Democrat. The
bishop was induced to sing an affecting
solo and, after few remarks by Dr.. Gee,
the new superintendent of missions of the
NJ. E. church in New Mexico, and Gov
ernor Stoyer, the bishops received the
students and faculty and spent few mo-
ments in social chat, after which the
young people returned to their work and
the bishop inspected the apparatus in the
pathological laboratory. He expressed
himself as much pleased and remarked
that he carried away stronger faith in
the future of the territory for the glimpse
of it's college life. His address abounded
in "reminiscences of his school days, both
as pupil and teacher. Especially inter-
esting were his references to the school
maintained in Libby prison. The con-
clusion urged upon the students the i'm
portsnce of striving for the highest and
purest ideals. The preceding day Rev.
Mr.. Jewel, formerly of Albuquerque but
now of California, addressed the students
at assembly giving vivid and interesting
"reminiscences of educational affairs In
olden times before the founding of the
university.

OPEN SEWER NUISANCE.
Disclosures That the New Mexican is
Ashamed to Make, But sunny san
ta Fe Must be Protected Against
the Sickening Serpent.

The NEW MEXICAN has repeatedly called
attention to the ruinous results of the
notorious and scandalous open sewer
nuisance in sunny Santa Fe and has
earnestly urged the city authorities to
correct the shameful evil without days
delay. Promises have been made by the
authorities that an effective remedy would
be promptly applied.
How have these promises been COM
piled withr This paper is ashamed to
announce that the Palace avenue sewer
was ordered turned into the private pas.
ture of John W. Patterson, opposite the
ssnitarium, where Mr.. Patterson has been
in the habit of feeding his herd of IA
milch COWS, and daily protests against
the outrage have so far proved unavaIl-
ing. AS often as Mr.. Patterson has
turned the foul flow of liquid filth from
his land, it has been turned back again
by the breaking of his dam.
Mr.. Patterson's occupation is that of
dealer in milk, which he daily delivers to
many families in Santa Fe, but, being an
honest man and not wishing to sell tainted
milk about town, he has Tor some
time been feeding his COWS in his corral,
at an extra cost to him of 50 per day.
Yet he paid $120 in advance for the use
of this pasture for one year and his lease
runs till next March.
Naturally the gentleman is indignant
and has determined no longer to submit
to the outrage. He again turned the
poisoned and poisonous stream off from
his pasture this morning and has since
personally stood guard over the place to
see that his dam is not disturbed
As result of this action the Shiny
stream, laden with the germs of disease,
will doubtless soon be crawling down
lower Palace avenue like siokening ser.
pent.
Surely the city authorities will soon see
the necessity of correcting this serious
trouble by some other means than poison
ing the pastures where milch COWS are fed.

Major DIVA O. Parker explains that he
resigned his commission as major of the
first battalion for the reason that he con-

Denver. ut has been noised around that
and my wife have been separated, which
may be very true, but would like to say
to the public, that it is no fault of hers,
and that if / have accused her of any
wrong, it was certainly wrong and caused
by jealousy and whisky. A truer and
more loving wife no man ever had, nor
helpmeet in all cases and under all cir
cumstances. While our enemies are
laughing in their sleeves and rejoicing
at our misfortune, would like to say to
them that it is no fault of here, for she is
as innocent as new born babe and that
am the intruder, and for her protection
and due respect for my family, feel as
if the world should know the above
facts"
