WIDOWS HIS SPECIALITY.
A New Yorker Who Made Love Making a
Source of Income.

Source of Income.
Love making as source OF income
has been practiced by a New York
man, who is now wanted by the police,
for several years past. 1t seems that
the fellow made speciality of widows,
with what degree Of success is shown
by the fact that he is engaged to be
married to not less than twenty of
them under almost as many aliases
He would be counting three or four of
them at .once, showing that he must
have been man of some intellectual
ability, to keep his various names and
appointments straight. 1t was his fav-
orite scheme to represent himself as a
retired capitalist, make ardent love to
the widow, become engaged to her,
write will in her favor and then
borrow all of the money that she was
willing to let him have. 1t is believed
that from his Gtwenty-odd widows he
has realized quite neat little.sum.

agreed, ofcourse. When the dispatch

MAY GUST RAILROADS
STATE CLAIl1S ENTIRE CON-
troll OFlATLANTA DEPOT.
Central and A tIanta s. West Point
Net Paying Any Rent for Use
of Shed. Claim to Be
Part Owners.

And now it falls out that certain Of
those roads which have threatened to
withdraw from the union depot mey
not be allowed to do so. Unsteady the
state may put them out!
For it has been discovered that tn ese
particular roads are not paying kany
rent for tle privilege of using the
shed. Indeed, they are dividing with
the state the rental received from the
Southern and the Seaboard and Mr..
Durand.
The state insists that they shall pay
--henceforth, and for some time back.
The roads insist that they will not +;
that the shed is as much their own as
anybody else's. And it is likely that
the courts will be called upon to arbi-
trate these conflicting claims.
At meeting Of the railroad commits
sion last summer the commissioners
dipped little into the history of the
depot. And they learned among other
facts connected with that celebrated
and complicated structure that when 10
was erected in 1870 the Georgia rail-
road, the Central of GEORGIA andl the
Atlanta and West Point subscribed
equally with the state road to the fund
which pail for the depot's erection,
under an agreement to be allowed to
use it rent free.
That was thirty years ago. And the
state thinks that the roads long since
got their moneys worth. But the
roads maintain that no agreement as to
the length of time was made, and that
they still and always will have, an
ownership in the shed, and that they
didn't and would not pay any rent.
The matter was not pressed by the
state at the time. The whole!problem
was in remarkably involved condf-
ton then, and 1t was deemed avisaBle
to let Fthat phase rest quietly for
awhile.
Now the legislature having acted, or
having failed TO act-which lis the
same in effect-and thereby cut the
Gordian knot, so far as the state is
concerned, the matter will probably be
renewed.
There seems to be a division of opin-
ion as to whether the lessees OF the
state road, or the state itself, should
inaugurate the ejectment proceedings
If they are to be inaugurated-
Prominent railroad men hold, how
ever, that the state is the proper party
to act. They say if the state road
wishes to try and become the sole
rent-free user OF the shed it would
have to appeal to the state to be put in
possession, and therefore that If the
state, regardless of the wishes of the
Western and Atlantic, wants the other
roads thrown out, OF made TO pay up,
it can begin action without the consent
of the Western and Atlantic.
There will shortly be a conference
between President ]. w. Thomas. of
the Western and Atlantic road, and
the state officials to decide upon wheth-
err or not action shall be begun, and in
what way.
That action will be begun there
seems to be no doubt. Atlanta News.

YOUNG WOMEN SAW WOOD.
of Christian EndcRvOr Society
at Providence, II. 4.

A wood-sawing contest, with two
young women as the operators, was
the unique conclusion of the semian-
nual meeting of the Christian Endeav-
or society of the Lakewood Baptist
church at Providence, r. L., the other
night. The event was not down on
the programme, and even to the prin-
cipals the performance was sur
prise.
At the close of the meeting the
president arose, and, stating that the
two young women mefnbers who last
February debated the question wheth-
er woman could do the work of man
would prove it by saving wood,
brought out two sawbucks and two
Eections of the same log of wood. 1t
was a good, ablebodied log, too.
Also, he had two saws, with nice,
sharp teeth.
The two young women looked dis
mayed. Then the humor of the situ-
alton dawned on them and they
smiled. One of them dared the other
10 do it, and that settled the ques-
tion. Some of the young men showed
the girls how to place the log on the
buck and how to steady it by plant
ing a knee on it. Also, one of them
was advised to take fast strokes in
the contest to determine the quickest
sawyer of the two.
The girls took positions and when
the word was given started at it,
One of the saws flew mp and down in
short, ierky strokes until the teeth
stuck at intervals in the log, while
the buck danced over the floor. The
other young woman sawed like vet
eran and had the advantage of weight
and knee position. She finished her
log in one minute and 80 seconds
winning the race, as well as the de-
bate, while the other took two min
utes and 80 seconds for the feat
