The most abused man in the world is
John Sights, who was born near Wingo,
Ky, and who is now languishing in prison
in neighboring State for bigamy.
Sights was married six times and each
marital experience resulted unfortunately.
He was compelled to leave the partner Of
his woes for reasons readily acknowledged
in the different States, yet for lack of
money he could not get a divorce. His
story, as told by himself, is most pa
thetic.
THAT was wrong in sight of either God
or man no one will declare. My fault lay
in my poverty. Had l been a rich man
could have had six different divorces, all
packed away now in my trunk and ready
TO marry a seventh Mrs. Sights. The wo-
men were such that patience was no vir-
tue in enduring them, and so l left them.

divorce. My money was used up in honey
moons that were a disappointment and

SNOW.


From the gray sky wildly whirling,
Through the woodland softly swirling,
Hanging in festoOn and garland,
Lightly as il came from Starland,
on the cedar dark and solemn,
on the heifers spinal column,
See it hurtle,
Skip and jump,
Round the squlrte
OF the pump.
See IL where the beanpole darkles
As IL shimmerS. shines and Sparkles,
Through the air that's growing crisper;
Hear it whisper, whisper, whisper,
As il scrambles. frisks and hurries,
And around the woodshed scurries,
Where il settles
On the pans
Bottles, kettles,
Boots and cans.
See it slipping. sliding. shifting.
Into uuafntest sculptures drifting;
See il eddy on or straightway
Go a-scoOting through the gateway
Like the dog perturbed and nettled,
With his caudal's sore be-keuled,
And with grand springs,
Full of wrath,
Turns he handsprings
Up the path.
See the wild winds very droll work
Carver coruice. stuccO. scroll work,
Lacework on the honeysuckle,
While they watch the small boy blowing
on his hands to keep them glowing,
While with passion
He the snow
Ball doth fashion,
Don't you know.

PROF. PHILLIPS RETIREMENT.
1t Was Requested Because He Tread
on the Toes of His CO-wOrkers.

Athens. Ga. Jan. 1s--It turns out that
the retirement of Prof. Daniel E. Phil
lips from the chair of pedagogy in the
State Normal School was not voluntary
1t resulted from a request by the State
Normal School commission, ana while
Aw facts have come out, it is highly prob
able that within the next few days Prof.
Phillips will give out an interesting state
ment of the affair.
There was no charge of incompetency
preferred against him. and he is regarded
by all as a professor of rare ability. He
made a splendid impression upon those
who were in his classes. 1t appears that
the objection to Prof Phillips that led to
his removal was that he was possessed
of too independent spirit and trenched
upon the authority of other departments
1t has leaked out that differences existed
between Prof. Phillips and President
Bradwell.
While it has been rumored for several
weeks that Prof. Phillips might be re-
moved from the faculty, he says he was
kept In the dark as to what was going on
and in fact was led to believe that there
would be no change in the faculty.

Valdosta. Ga, Jan. ia negro, VIII
liam Johnson, was killed at Hahira yes
terday. The killing is said to have been
accidental, the negro exonorated his STAY
er before he died It seems that two white
men, Dol Nelson and Bob Barheld went
to the negro's house late at night, and
found him sitting on the fence in front
of his door They had their guns. and
one of them bantered the negro for a
trade. The negro was looking at the gun
or examining it, when the piece was dis
charged, inhicting a wound which re-
suited in death about four hours after
ward. The negro was a family servant
of the Barfelds, and was regarded as a
good man.
A trunk was found in the swamp a few
hundred yards from the Georgia Southern
depot this morning, and the police have
been on the lookout for a clue as 10 how
it came there The trunk was identified
as belonging to Miss Ada Robertson, who
got off of the train a Cordele Saturday
evening. It is supposed that it was
brought on TO this city by mistake. It
had been opened and robbed of everything
except some pictures and papers. 1t was
stolen from the platform of the depot
during the night. and the question that
puzzles the police is who stole it.
Mrs. b. Schiller, who recently came to
this city to engage in business with her
husband, was before the mayor this morn
ing on the charge of fighting and disor-
derby conduct. The charge was based up
on the fact that Mrs. Schiller went in a
dry goods store Saturday evening and
attempted to thrash a clerk, who had
crossed words with her in transaction
The young man was chivalrous enough ia
make no resistance, except 10 run, and a
policeman appeared upon the scene before
he had a chance to do much of that. Mrs
Schiller was fined by the mayor $50 fol-
the excitement she created.
This morning a freight train on the
Plant system ran off the track while going
on a side-track and traffic was stopped Tor
several hours as a result of the accident
The run-off was due to the fact that the
switchman did not properly change he
switch. A half-dozen trains were blocked
up here for several hours.
Jake Burney, the negro, who is to be
hanged here on Friday, is attracting more
attention now than anybody else in the
city. The jail has been visited by large
delegations to-day and yesterday, and a
good deal of sympathy has been expressed
for him. He is to be hung for killing an.
other negro while drunk, a year ago. Bur.
ney talks very philosophically about his
fate, and that fact has increased interest
in his case.

CoLLYER,s REFORM IN ATLANTA.
He Begins by Cutting Down Salari es
and ApprOprint tons.


Atlanta. Ga, Jan. 1S-Mayor Collyer
got to work with his reform ak this after
noon at the first meeting of the general
council since his induction into Office. He
made his campaign upon the plea of re-
form and retrenchment with business
methods in the city government and he
began to-day by looping Off the heads of
five men in the city service whose posi-
tons he contended could be dispensed with.
In addition to the cutting off the heads of
the clerks, the mayor and his finance COM
mittee in making up their apportionment
sheet for the year. cut down salaries ali
around, in the city hall. the clerical
force and elsewhere, so that the aggre-
gate cut for the year amounts to a shade
less than 10000.
The pay of the firemen was reduced from
$40 per month to $780, the sanitary inspec-
tors were reduced, but the policemen will
get their old pay.
There is hardly an employee in the city
hal. however, whose pay is not shaved in
the general effort to save money so that
the income will meet the expenditures and
the city can impose a slightly less rate of
taxation this year than last.
The appropriation for the public schools
is also somewhat reduced about S12, Coz.
which will cause a slight shading in tie
salaries of all the school teachers this
year.
The salary OF the mayor remains the
same, but his secretary has $500 Topped
or. while half the councilmen get $500 a
year and the other half $500, this discrep-
ancy being due to a charter amendment
passed at the last legislature, reducing
the pay OF the incoming members.

DID NOT FIT THE CASE.
The Three Friends Goes Free Unless
the Libel Can BE Amended.

Jacksonville, TIA, Jan. 1S.-The Cuban
insurgents won a decided victory in Three
Friends case in United States court to-day.
The Three Friends was libelled by the
United States government on a charge of
1libustering. The libeliant after giving
the date of departure, etc, says: The
Three Friends was then and there fur
nished, fitted out and armed with certain
gun or guns, the exact number being to the
attorney of the United States unknown.
and with the munitions of war thereof,
with intent then and there to be employed
in the service of certain insurgents, or
persons in the island of Cuba and with the
intent to cruise or commit hostilities
against the subjects. citizens or property
of the King of Spain on the island of
Cuba"
To this the exception Of the respondents
was that the said libel does not show
that the said vessel was so armed or fit
ted out. or so furnished with the intent
that such vessel should be employed in
the service of any body polite recognized
or known to the United States as a body
polite"
The answer of the libellant, the United
States government, to this exception was
that the law, as set forth in section 52S3
of the Revised Statutes did not require
that a vessel that was subject to con-
should be employed by any body recog-
nized by o. known to the United States
as a body polite.
The point made by the respondent was
that the statute contemplated a condition
of war already existing, and that when
DO war existed there could be no violation
of :he statute. The question was then
suggested as to how the state of war was
to be determined and IL was argued on
behalf OF the respondents that it could
come only by action of congress, it was
far beyond the power of the judiciary 20
determine the fact, in other words, the
insurgents must be recognized as bellg-
erents before the statute could be yio-
lated.
The court sustained the exceptions Of
the respondents, and gave the libellants
ten days to file an amended libel
If a new libel is not filed within that
time the $1,000 bond Is TO be cancelled and
the vessel released.
