The son of very wealthy man at his
fathers death found himself free to in
dulge every whim. He had yachts,
horses, an island on which he played
king at his pleasure He was not an
immoral man, but idle and foolish.
One day while using long distance
telephone he was charmed by the voice
of the operator at the other end Of the
line. He managed to discover that it
was that Of q woman. young, single
and pretty. In the course Of few days
he convinced himself that the owner
of the voice was the one human being
who should be his wife and that life
would be empty and desolate without
her.
The girl was poor and listened to his
proposals He cabled her money to buy
her trousseau and TO secure a chaperon
to accompany her to the town where he
resided.
In due time she arrived Her looks
were as attractive as her voice. He
married her and few days later was
found dead by his own hand in his
room. He left no explanation beyond

SALE OF LIQUOR
 AT ENSLEY CITY
 a- Is Now Brought Up in the Cir cult Court. JUDGE STILES IS CITED To Appear Before the Circuit Court Judge and Show Cause Why He Shall not Grant License for
 Sale ot Liquor.
JUDGE STILES IS CITED

Probate Judge J. P. Stiles has refused other intoxicating beverages in the city of Ensley, and in consequence thereof has been cited to appear in the circuit court this morning at 10 o'clock to show cause, if any he has, why the license should not be issued.
 It will be remembered that Ensley was recently incorporated under the laws of the state, and Is therefore a duly organized municipal corporation, enjoying such priv ileges as are granted municipalities under the laws. mayor and board of aldermen were elected and at once adopted local laws for the regulation of the city as were thought necessary. Among the ordi- nances adopted was one authorizing and regulating the sale of whisky and other liquors.
 On Monday w. H. Cummings applied for license to the city authorities, which was granted, and on Tuesday applied to the probate judge for state and county license, making tender of the necessary money
 Judge Stiles refused to issue the license, under an act approved February Il, 1881, which prohibits the sale of spirituous, Vii nous or malt liquors within three miles of the Pratt school house, Ensley coming within the prescribed limits.
 On yesterday MT. Cummings, through his attorneys M J. Gregg, w. T. McElroy and c. B. Powell, filed petition in the circuit court for a writ of mandamus against the probate judge to compel him to issue the license Three separate petitions were filed, one to issue license for the sale of spiritu- ous, yinous and malt liquors, one for vinous and malt liquors and one for malt liquor alone.
 The petitions were presented to Judge Coleman, who ordered the clerk to issue a rule nisi against Judge Stiles citing him to appear before him this morning to show cause why said writ should not be issued compelling him to issue the license.
 Probate Judge Stiles stated to a reporter yesterday that he was simply acting under the law as he understood 1t, and if the higher court reversed him, he would make no further fight on the question.
 Liquor Is sold in Pratt City under char ter granted by the legislature, which re- peaIs the act of 1881 as far as that munich pality is concerned.

COTTON WANTS CITY
 TO MOVE GARBAGE
Says Present Contract Is Unsatisfactory Last Plea Against Uniforms Routine
 Proceedings of City Council.

When Mayor Evans rapped for order the following aldermen were present: Messrs Lynagh, Rainbow, Kerr, Altman, Graham, Hamilton, Pearce. Gray, Harrington and Hentschel.
 Under the head of reports from officers Dr. Gotten submitted his report on the san itary condition of the Northside. It showed that the territory was in very satisfactory condition. In his report he referred to im- provements in the way of sewers that should be made in the following localities:
 From Eleventh avenue to Fourteenth av- enue in Fourth alley there Is no sewer; it Is thickly populated, and a sewer connec- ton made from Fifth avenue to Fourth al- ley and up to Fourteenth street will correct the miserable conditions which now exist.
 Between Fifteenth and Sixteenth streets, Fifth and Sixth avenues, there are six open closets that are menace and a nuisance to the whole block The city engineer in- forms me that they cannot connect, on ac- count of the Fifth alley sewer being built too high. It could be lowered with little cost. His recommendations are to "extend Fifth alley sewer eastward across Fifteenth street, connecting with Fifth alley sewer. between Fifteenth and Sixteenth streets ; lower sewer, in Fifth alley, between Eff teenth and Sixteenth streets. This will re- lieve this square,"
 Dr. Gotten held that the garbage contract

ROBBED OF HER JEWELS
Sneak Thief Entered Dressing Room at
 Opera House Last Night.

While "The Highwayman" was getting In his bloody work on the stage at o'Brien's last night sneak thief was getting in his equally nefarious, and. as it turned out, much more realistic work in the dressing rooms under the stage.
 An actress was robbed of number of valuable Jewels. This was not fake robbery, perpetrated for advertising pur- poses, for she was only a chorus girl in .'The Highwayman" company, who wanted to keep all the jewelry she had and had a reputation to make other than by having her jewels stolen.
 Mrs. William s. Corliss was the actress name, and she and her husband were the principal losers. While the whole company was doing one of the stirring chorus scenes on the stage above, a sneak thief entered the dressing room occupied by Mir and Mrs. Corliss and made his raid. He took a pair of pants hanging on the wall, from which he got two handsome gold watches, one ladies' and the other a gentleman s watch. Continuing his prowing further, the thief got a heavy marquise ring and three diamond rings. Satisfied with this he left.
 As soon as Mir and Mrs. Corliss returned to their room they missed their jewelry and the alarm was given. Search failed to reveal anything except the pair of trousers thrown outside of the opera house in the alley. The police were notified at once, and competent men were put on the case, but 50 far as learned they obtained no clues last night. The doors leading to the dressing rooms were securely locked and the police are of the opinion that somebody who had business in the dressing rooms is to blame, especially the negroes in the employ of the transfer company.
