Sky Line of Gotham Rapidly and CO2P,
tInualIy Changing.
The skyline of New York is changing
so rapidly that the American traveller
who goes abroad can recognize with
more certainty the profiles of the for
eign cities he approaches than that of
his own metropolis as he sees it from
the deck of the steamer on his return,
Says Scribner's. 1t. may be his first
visit to Europe; he may know London.
Rome and Paris only from the views of
them in old prints. But if he has an eye
for such things his first glimpse of St.
Paurs, st. Peters, or Notre Dame will
tell him to what place he is coming, for
all the world knows these pinnacles,
has known them for centuries They
are as conspicuous and characteristic
in the silhouettes of their cities as they
were when they were built.
One of the Dutch governors of New
Amsterdam, seeking in spirit some IA
miliar earthly habitation, might find
old Amsterdam, for it cuts the same
figure in the sky to-day that it did when
he left it; but the last dead boss of New
York, if by any chance he should get
away from where he ought to be, would
search the horizon in vain for the face
of his city. The features his eye would
seek for are there; Old Trinity still
Stands, it's stecple, like the spires of
tthe old cathetlrals, uplifted high above
ithe earth; but its solitary prominence
is gone. The modern office building
has risen higher than the head of the
cross and the church has lost its dis
tinction. The enterprise of business has
surpassed the aspiration of religion.

A wARLIKe MISSIONARY,
He Didn't Believe in Cursins the
Enemy.

He Didn't Believe in CursinG the
Enemy.
That the warrior spirit is not con-
fined TO soldiers is clearly shown by a
story of q missionary chaplain in Natal,
Rev. George Smith. Mr.. Smith had
been temporarily attached to the army
for the period of the campaign. and dur
ing the whole of the long and fierce
Zulu attack right gallantly he played
his part in tending the sick, giving aid
to the wounded and comforting the
dying.
No one had greater share of danger
than he, and no one. says writer in
Blackwood's Magazine. showed a more
soldierly example of treating that dan
ger with calm Indifference. Not only
did he perform the duties of his office,
but as every man who could handle a
rifle was sorely needed to defend the
parapet, Mr.. Smith did essential service
by going round the various posts and
distributing reserve cartridges.
A good story went round the army in
South Africa bearing on the spirit OF
his professional conduct on one occa-
sion.
One of the men, in the heat and ex-
citement of battle, was cursing his en-
emies and using most profane Ian
guage. The chaplain, coming behind,
heard his words, and said:
You should not speak like that, my
friend. Don't curse them!" Then, shov-
ing packet of cartridges into hishand:
Shoot them! shoot them.''

Prayer was the topic in a certain
Sunday school class in Syracuse on a
recent Sunday. One little boy who had
felt very smart during the class hour
was asked if he prayed every morning.

''How is it you don't do it the rest of
the time?' asked the teacher. "Oh,
cause when there's school we pray in
the school in the mornings" ''Well, -
asked the teacher, again, don't you
think there's more need of praying in
the morning than at night?" "No,'
was the reply, "'cause at night you
have awful dreams'

THE GOVERNOR. TAKES ACTION.
Calls Attention of Courts to the Mis-
demcanOr Convict Question.

Calls Attention of Courts to the Mis-
demcnnOr Convict Question.
Atlanta, Ca, Sept, Gov. Atkinson to-
day took an important step in the INSIDE
meanOr convict problem.
As foreshadowed in these dispatches last
week, he takes the position that the re-
form must come through the courts. The
courts are to blame for the violation Of
the law, and they must correct the evils
complained OF in so far as they involve
violation of the law governing the
leasing Of the convicts. He thinks the
courts will act promptly, and the result
win be the cancellation of every one of
the illegal private lease contracts within
very short space Of time.
The governor has written to the judges
and solicitors of all the courts in the
counties which have allowed convicts to
be hired out to private parties. His let
ters officially call attention to the fact,
citing the law which should govern the
execution of misdemeanor penalties and
appending a list of the names of all the
convicts OF the respective counties now
being Illegally worked by private lessees.
The communication. which goes not only
to the superior courts, but to city and
county courts as well, is a strictly Off
cial one The governor would not permit
the publication of a copy of his letters,
but the contents are substantially as
stated. He informs the court officials that
the violations of law by making private
leases has been placed before him in an
official way by Col. Phil G. Byrd, inspect
or of convict camps, and he in turn places
this Information officially before the
courts whose judgments have been ignor-
ed or violated.
Coming in this way it is believed that the
courts cannot fail to take immediate ac-
ton, and if they do there will soon be
about 500 of these unfortunates taken out
of the hands of private parties who have
been brutal task-masters to them, accord
ing to Inspector Byrd's report, and put to
work directly under the county authori-
ties.
The governor will not even intimate
what he expects to do in case any of the
courts should ignore his communication
He says il is the sworn duty of the courts
to see that their judgments are enforced
and they must do IT,
Inspector Byrd to-day completed his de-
tailed report, showing an intended state
ment Of all convicts illegally worked by
private parties. The governor has been
waiting upon this for some time as he
could not act upon the plan adopted until
he was able to give names and dates to
court officers
If the governors communication pro-
duces the expected result, the men releas-
ed will likely be put 10 work on public
roads, and then the good roads movement
will be given a great impetus

STORY OF LOVE AND SIN,
Registers Wife and Her Lover Hire
Boy to Murder Him.

Jacksonville, Fla, Sept. 2.-One of the
foullest murders ever committed in Duval

clean breast of the whole thing, admit
ting that he fired the fatal shot. Regis
ter's wife listened to the boys statement
and said that it was all true. Tyre seems
and they met clandestinely with frequen-
cy, Register learned of this and caught
the couple on several occasions. Tyre
then plotted TO put Register out of the
way, and a week or so ago the boy was
offered IS to kill the latter. The offer was
renewed yesterday, the woman and Tyre
both entering into the arrangement. After
supper was over the boy, who Is IS years
old, slipped up behind Register and emp

Americas, Ga, Sept. "A terrible and
fatal accident occurred this morning at De

young farmer and son of Hon. John A.
Cobb, was experimenting the ginning of

near the engine We're injured, some of
them very seriously.
Mr. Cobb was one of the most prominent
young men of this section and leaves a

Gives His Reasons for Thinking Cot
ton Rates Are Too High.

Wv NS MS AON W.
ton Rates Are Too High.
Atlanta, Ga, Sept. Judge Allen Fort
of the state railroad commission has fin
ished his dissenting opinion in the cot
ton rate case, but when asked for a copy
of it for publication to-day, declined to
allow it to so to the press.
1t will be recalled that Judge Fort ia
vored a reduction of cotton rates upon the
recent application made by Capt. Purse
of the Savannah Freight Bureau. but
Commissioners Trammel and Crenshaw
outvoted him, and the old rates allowed
to stand. In dissenting, Commissioner
Fort announced that he would give his
reasons for the position taken, and he has
done so in an elaborate argument of 5000
words, justfying his contention that cot
ton rates are too high by a mass of sta
tistics and comparisons.
In declining to give the matter to the
newspapers, Judge Fort said he was ac-
tuated by the belief that his course might
be misconstrued. His name has been con-
nected with the gubernatorial race next
year and his position on the cotton rate,
coupled with his alleged political aspira-
lions. His opinion will be published in
the annual report 70 the railroad COM
mission, and he thinks that if he should
give it to the press now it would be said
that he was using it for political pur-
poses.
