The Savannah morning news., 1902-12-07

been around police courts knows that
in nine cases out of ten the poor wom-
an who complains of her husband
at IL p. m. will repent of it over night
and beg hard for his release in the
morning. Mr.. Reynolds was ap-
preached early one morning by an
Irish woman in great distress.
"Oh, Mr.. Reynolds" she begged,
come and help me get my Michael
out. Sure. l had i'm locked up last
night fer beatin' me; but for the love
of heavens come and help me get him
out"
Her face was badly banged up, her
hand was bandaged, and she walked
with a limp.
But you don't want to get him out, "
said Mr.. Reynolds. He's almost
do him good. I'll see that you don't
suffer for lack of his wages while he's
in prison."
"Oh, no." she said; twas al my
fault. You told me that it was bad
cookin' drove 'em to the rum shops
and, faith. 1 cooked the PIRATES in the
same old way. OF course, he got drunk
Twas my own fault. l didn't cook
'em the way 1 was told here at the
drunk"
Equally, of course. Reynolds had to
go and get him out.
The University Settlement Society
by the way, does much more than
teach cooking. Besides its cooking
classes it has clubs for both boys and
girls, men and women. Its members
visit through the tenement district
giving little charity, but trying to
teach the ignorant how to live. It's
loan society, which is really a pawn
shop charging small rates of interest
does a business of $1,500,000 a year. II
has legal aid branch for the collec-
ton of wages, ETC.; rooms given over
to trades union meetings, a roof gar
den, a summer camp, half a dozen diff
ferent clubs; gives regular entertain
ments; has many and diverse baths
classes for newly arrived immigrants
gymnasiums. etc.
Its work is almost wholly in the
hands of young people-that is to say,
enthusiasts on the sunny side of forty.
Young Mr. Stokes has chosen a most
interesting field of effort.
When former United States Senator
Anthony ]. Higgins, leader of the Reg
| ular Republicans of Delaware. was in
| this city the other day, he said:
Some of my political friends say
| that I'll be ready to die when Edward
\ j. Addicks is completely driven out oil
the field as a candidate for federal
senatorship from the state of Della
ware. The gentlemen are mistaken.
| can never say conscientiously, Now
| let thy servant depart in peace until
the name of John NJ. Clayton who
| drafted the famous Clayton Bulwe1
treaty and who was one of Delaware's
most famous lawyers, receives the re-
| Spect and honor due it.
II have always regretted, since I've
been old enough to know things, thai
the school book histories of this coun-
| try, in telling of the great statesmen oil
the first part of the nineteenth century
stopped after naming Webster Clay
and Calhoun. 1t is my firm belief thai
| the histories should add the name Of
| Clayton-John M. Clayton-to this H.
lustrious list, for he was as great q
| statesman as any of the trio so univer.
sally honored.
| mo, shall not be content to die un.
| til the name of Clayton appears il
| company with Webster, Clay and Cal
houn, at least in the histories used IL
| the public schools of my native state.
Mr.. Higgins other hobby is his old
fashioned law offices. They are in
brick building erected over half cen
| fury ago, ana are heated IN the old
fashioned way--by fire places burning
logs. Mr.. Higgins says he wouldn'
leave these old offices. whose atmos
phere is redolent with hundreds O
musty and dusty law books. for tn
finest suite in the most up-to-date of
flee buildings in the city of Whining
| ton.
Mr.. Higgins favorite way of discuss
ing business with a client is to elias,
his hands behind his back and tall
as he walks up and down before tn,
cracking, glowing wood fire.
