A large number of guests were present
at the Morristown School last week to
enjoy the musicale. which was most en-
ioyable. The different numbers were
all encored, and Miss Trowbridge's sing

Mr.. Atkinson's songs There is so little
music in Morristown that one is positive

MATTE LINKS
 THE CHILD WIFE
Taken from Questionable House and is Now in the
 City Prison.

Another pitiful chapter comes to light in the case of Hattie links, the child wife of Charlie links, who was some time ago placed in a house of questionable charac- ter by her husband
 Matte is only 13 years old. The fact of her presence in a house of that kind was made known to the chief of police, and yesterday he went to the house and took her to the Red home for fallen women. This occurred in the morning. About O clock in the afternoon the girl came to the office of Chief Austin and told him that she could not stay at the place, and that she had rather be locked up than do so.
 She expressed several reasons for her ac- tion one being that she was afraid of her. husband whom she had sued for a divorce. Nothing else could be done and she was locked up in the white womans department of the city jail. Those present said it was a pitiful sight to see the little girl attired in a muslin dress asdend the steps of the jail to her department, while the crowd of more hardened prisoners curiously watched the scene.

SANITATION COMMITTEE
Meets and Takes Steps to Have the
 City Cleaned Up

The committee on police and sanitation held a meeting in the council chamber yes terday afternoon, and made the initiatory step toward improving the sanitary condi- ton of the city. It was the first meeting of the new committee, and very little act ual work was done The members dis cussed matters in general way. but could not go into details until some more data could be gotten as to the present con- dition of Birmingham. It was decided to ask the committee finance for a report on just how much money was available for sanitary improvements. Until this infor- nation is gotten the committee will have to be inactive.
 Chairman Jones has called another meet ing for Wednesday at F o'clock, when the report will likely be submitted and acted upon.
 General Thomas and Dr. Gotten, in dis cussing the sanitary condition of the city yesterday, said that the reports about so much uncleanliness were untrue. They fur ther said that the city was in as good san itary condition as it had been for long time.

GREAT PERFORMANCE
Entirely New Bill at the East Lake
 Theatre

Manager Walter Lindsay Of the Southern Amusement syndicate, did himself proud last night in the bill he put on at East Lake for the opening of the second week of the summer theatrical season. Every performer on the programme was a real artist in his line, and the audience showed its hearty appreciation by repeated encores. Not to be disrespectful to last weeks att fractions, but last nights performance was a hundred per cent. better. The following was the programmes:
 The Allen Children in their juvenile sketch, A Dogmatic Problem"
 George Yeoman, in "Only a Dutchman."
 Allyn Roberts, in monologues and par odies.
 Purcell and Maynard in a "Prima Donna and the Wise Boy"
 The Mazziottas, Joseph and Lucille, in a real novel musical act, entitled "Ihe Dago Peddler."
 MT. Purcell and MT. Maynard have very attractive voices and were repeatedly en- cored, as were the Mazziottas. In fact. all of the entertainers proved themselves so popular that 1t is difficult to draw compari- sons.
 All of the first nighters'' who went to the Lake last night were fully satisfied, and the second week of the summer season will prove a decided success.

faith with which we are fulfilling our
pledges in Cuba will ultimately be-
come known in every island in the
Archipelago. The gem of the Antilles
is feeling the thrill of liberty. Under
the benefcent rule of law and order
she is experiencing peace, prosperity
and progress. We are leading her to
independence as the mother does her
child, and at each more confident
step we loosen our firm but affection
ate hold for her education and safety.
We must first subdue the rebellion.
The more quickly, the more euerget-
ically and the more overwhelming
the force with which it is done, the
more merciful will be the war, and the
earlier will come the regeneration of
the PHILIPPINES. The demonstration
for brief period of a government
which gives protection to life and
property, which grants liberty and
law, which plants school-houses and
encourages thrift, will be conditions
for happiness they have never expert
enced, and only vaguely imagine pos
sible through the anarchy they would
now inaugurate. Manila, Santiago
and San Juan have won the respect
of Europe for our fighting qualities,
but our craftsmanship and staying
powers are on trial in every cabinet
in the old world. When civil and re-
ligio1s liberty was in peril before the
united assault of all the great mon
archs of the continent, William of
Orange, in undertaking their defense,
registered the simple oath, II will
maintain" His was gigantic task
against frightful odds. We are for
the time being the custodians of civil
ization in our new possessions
against foe whose defeat is newt
able, and for people who, released
from the thrall of savage leaders and
brought under theinfuences of peace,
will become loyal and productive
citizens.
Pride in ones State is like love for
the old homestead. The absorbing
duties of his later life and tremen-
dous events in which he has been so
distinguished an actor, have never
weakened the affection nor weaned
the interest of Dewey from Vermont.
His heart has ever been full of the
simple lives and homely virtues of
this staid old New England common
wealth. Her soil might not yield as
rich returns to the husbandman as
the prairie farms of the West, but her
marble and granite have always
furnished tombstones for her invad-
ers and statues for her heroes. Forty
years ago, standing as a young
cadet in the Capitol at Montpelier
and gazing upon the statue of Ethan
Allen, he exclaimed, Life can achieve
no greater reward than that" He
has won that reward. Beside the
hero of Ticonderoga will stand a
companion figure. Under the one
will be the immortal words which
began the first victory of our revolu-
tionary war: Il demand your sur
render in the name of the Great
Jehovah and the Continental Con-
gress," and under the other, the
statue of the Admiral Dewey, the
sentence which opened the gates of
the Orient for his country "You
may fire when you are ready, Grid
ley"

And their work continueth,
Broad and deep continueth,
Great beyond their knowing.
The victory of Admiral Dewey has
a far wider significance than the
heroism of the fight 1t opened a
new chapter in the history of the
United States. The lifting of the
cloud of battle smoke from the
waters of Manila bay revealed new
and potential power in the affairs of
the world. The class which gradu
ates here next June enters upon a
larger citizenship than any of its
predecessors. A war begun by the
United State for humanity and lib
erty, ended in the conquest and
cession of rich and populous terri
tory in the East At the very hour
when our industrial development
and surplus productions demand the
benefit Of expanding markets, we be
come by tie Providence of God
neighbor to the Orient and its limit

hired years of oppression and spoila-
ton by the Spaniards, after centuries
of promises made to be broken; the
inhabitants of the PHILIPPINE Islands
distrust all professions. The good

THE LABOR QUESTION.

To the Editor of The Spy If you will al
low me a little space in your widely cir
culated paper, I would like to say a few
words on the other side of this labor ques-
ton Organized labor (so-called) seems
to occupy a large space in the daily press
to keep their side Of the question before
the people to the detriment of those who
do not choose to join their unions. Now
1 believe in fair play If a man chooses
to belong to a labor organization 1 have
no objection. but when he tells me that l
must belong to 1t or shall have no work
by which to support myself and family,
must object in the strongest terms possl-
BILE.
When they quit work because a man or
any number of non-un1on men are en-
ployed on the job, they show a very selfish
spirit Some of my reasons for not join
ing such organizations are as follows: l
do not believe in doing business on the
Lords day; ! believe in freedom to elect
who l will sell my labor to and for what
price without the aid of walking dele
gate or any one else, as it takes all the
self-respect and manhood out of person
under the tyranny of sucn leaders. 1t is
not democratic nor manly. 1t leads to
strikes. which deprive it's members from
earning a support for themselves and
families, and invites foreigners over from
Other countries where labor is less paid to
take their places until the market is
oVerstocked. Labor here must go down
in consequence, and strikes very seldom
help the strikers, and are a dead loss to
all concerned. Capital can stand il quite
as long as the bread winner and strikes
usually round up in violence and blood
shed.
Now claim to be true friend of labor.
having labored with hand and brain for
more than three score years, and en-
ployed labor more than half that time
and l know what it is to earn my bread
by the sweat of the brow. Labor is much
BETTER paid now than it was so years ago
more than double, taking into account the
number of hours engaged We worked u
hours then for dollar a day, and skilled
labor only got a dollar and fifty cents.
Instead of striking to get our pay raised
we tried to merit rise by more faithful
service, believing that labor and capital
ought to be good friends for mutual ben
eft
And / would suggest that if laborers
are not satisfied with present conditions
why not strike out for themselves? 1t re-
quires but small capital TO start in most
any kinds of business, and they may find
that they can improve on present labor
conditions.
Just word in regard to city laborers,
particularly those on our streets. 1t is
said by some that most of them are kept
there to keep them away from the home
farm. Be that as It may. | think those
who receive tho taxpayers money for
their services ought to be willing to labor
as long as the taxpayer does to earn the
money to pay them with. They should at
least be allowed to work nine hours
while about half the year they only get in
eight hours and less. A. b.
