Dewey VIII Not and Schley Cannot At
tend the Brumby Ceremonies.

Washington, October 21.-Represen-
tative Livingston, Of Georgia tonight
reluctantly gave up his. efforts to in
duce Admiral Dewey Or Admiral Schley
to go to Atlanta with Lieutenant
Brumby, and telegapned ito the au-
thorlties there:
Dewey will not go, Schley cannot Co.
Brumby goes on Monday
This was after he had received a
number of telegrams from Atlanta
urging him to use every effort to have
one or both of the admirals make the
trip, and after personal conferences
with both of them. He learned, how
ever, from Admiral Schley that the
latter would make a "trip to Birming-
ham, Ala, on November 1st, and as
this would take him near Atlanta he
consented to visit the city at that time.
AS this trip is only about ten days off
the admiral would Ct think of anOth-
er "trip in the meantime. Moreover he
felt that Lieutenant Brumby ought to
have the honors of the occasion next
week and that these honors should not
be shared or divided by his own pres
ence. Representative Livingston will
advise the Atlanta authorities tomorrow
that Admiral Schley will be there about
October 31st for a day.

ANOTHER DEATH PENALTY
Inflicted by the People for the Gambrel
Murder.

Memphis. Tenn October 21.-A spe-
cial to The Commercial Appeal from
Carthage, Miss, says:
For the fendish murder of the five
members of the Gambrel family at St.
Annes in this Oeake) county, two men
have paid the DEATH penalty-one by
burning al 1ne stake, the other by
hanging. Two negroes are under ar
rest beyond the confines of this county
and a posse is said to be in pursuit. OF
two white men. This last statement,
however, is contradicted from another
point and developments must be
awaited
Last night John Oliver Gray, negro.
was captured after being chased for
miles in the swamps. He confessed
that he was one of the party that did
the murderous work, and the posse
made short work of him. He was hang
ed and his swaying body riddled with
bullets.
Gray in his confession implicated two
white men, and these men, according TO
report. are being pursued, having, it is
said, left the neighbOrhood.
The information that three Negro wO-
men were brought to Carthage by the
sheriff is not true. The women were
at first taken into custody, bus later
We're released by the officers.
The negro Robert Smith, or Ander-
son, is now in Jail here. He was placed
on a pile Of faggots, but afterWard
it was thought that he might be innO-
cent and he was accordingly turned
over TO the sheriff. A physician states
that he is dangerously burned.
The story Of the capture OF two ne
grees at Yazo6 City reached here to-
night.
SO far as information now goes. five
persons were in the party that attack
ed the Gambrel family.
Anderson Smith, who was a. first in
the hands of the mob and who escaped
has established a complete alibi The
entire county is aroused.

MARRIAGE.
Does 1t Hinder a Woman's
Development?

(Sarah Grand, in American Queen.)
Not naturally. On the contrary, no
woman is fully developed until she
marries; and the powers of very few
have ripened perfectly without mate.
In literature, for instance, an unmar-
ried writer runs two risks. Her view of
married life, and especially of sex, is
apt either to be warped or embittered,
or to be colored by sentimentality,
rather than directed by the facts of
life. Even a great genius like George
Eliot did not find her true vocation in
literature until after her marriage.
Most OF the great women have been
married-generally too much married
Celibacy is an imperfect state, and the
consequence is prone to appear in one
sldedness. No man or woman can be
fully equipped for the best work who
mas not at least had a glimpse of the
perfect state, and especially of parent
hood. Out of the fullest experience of
life is most likely to be born the fullest
development of the individual-pre-
Stunning that by acknowledgment is
meant the largest intellectual and
physical growth combined in the fullest
proportion.
But that marriage to a dolt in either
sex is a hindrance to self -development
who can for a moment doubt? The
man is dragged down enough; but he,
by tire customs of society, can escape
to large extent from the dead weight
of his self-inflicted destiny. To the
woman, as always, society. having been
ordered by man, has not been quite so
kind. 1t is a most difficult task for
her to take her neck out of the halter.
Tied to a man who, from obtuseness
or selfishness or principle, not only does
not assist her development, but refuses
to recognize either the necessity or the
