Taylor,

E. ID. Alexander Replies to w. II.
Taylor.
1 note with sincere regret the spirit
which seems to animate Mr.. w. T.
Taylor in the matter of the commune
cation from the Painters Union to the
County Commissioners, which is shown
in his letter to you published on the
18th. He attempts to lower the re-
spect of the citizen of the union by
bringing charges against me, it's pres
ident. He says that / offered to work
for him at 25 cents per day less than
the union scale; this l brand as abso-
lutely untrue. 1t is true that 1 went
to Mr.. r. Taylor, his son, and asked
for work, but I did so. with other mo-
tives than that alone. 1 had been ap-
pointed on a committee by my union
to ascertain certain facts, and when
called upon him 1 spoke about work
in order to start the conservation.
Positively, there was not/a word said
to work for himat that time, for
about wages the whole time that
was there. I had no reason to want
to work for him at that time for was
in the employ of Mr.. w. T. Leopold,
drawing wages up TO the union scale.
His statement that I worked as an
apprentice for So per week only "a
few months ago." is untrue; in the
first place painters never work by the
week, but rather by the hour or day.
as long as l have been in existence l
have never known of persona paint
er-working by the week, and as for
me doing such thing, / never thought
of it, ] have been working at my
trade for the past seven years, and
certainly have been out of my appren-
ticeship three of them.
The assertion that the Painters
Union is. dominated over by boys be-
tween the ages of Is and Is is abso-
lutely untrue, because there is only
one man who is member of the union
that is under II, and he is Mr. James
Quinn, Jr., and he came in under the
apprentice rules.
Trusting that this will settle this
petty squabbling and put my union
and myself in the proper light before
the public, am, yours truly

GUESTS OF CHARITY
a75 LITTLE ONES GIVEN OUTINGS
AT THE sEAsHORE.
BY FR0EBEL CIRCLE LADIES.
FRESH AIR HOME. WILL CLOSE
THIS WEEK.

over 125 More Children Cared For
This Year Than Last-Twenty-sfx
Will BE Taken to Tybee TO-mOr-
row for the Last Weeks Outing
of the Season-The Managers of
the Home to Enlarge Their Work
of Charity During the Coming
Year.
Tomorrow some twenty-six children
will be taken to the Fresh Air Home,
Tybee, the last to enjoy the hospital
ity of the home this season, for it will
be closed Saturday and will not be re-
June.
The season is now so near its close
that the members of Froebel Circle
Kings Daughters, who conduct the
home, are enabled to give accurate fig
ures as to the work that has been done
during the past summer. These fig
ures show that, with the children who
will go to the island tomorrow. about
three hundred and seventy-five of the
little ones have visited the home and
, been guests for week or more.
This showing is quite the best that
has been made since the home has been
established. 1t was rendered possible
through the fact that at the beginning
of the season the home was enlarged
and thoroughly repaired so that it
could comfortably accommodate many
more children than there was room for
last year.
The home has been in charge of Miss
Ada Hull, matron and trained nurse,
and several assistants, and the chill
dren have had the best of care at their
hands.
Though the work will be discontinued
this week, active preparation for an
even larger work next season will be
continued through the winter and early
spring. 1t is customary, for Froebel
Circle to give a number of entertain
ments to raise funds for carrying on
the home, and the ones to be given this
winter will be, 1t is expected, quite as
numerous as before, and on a much
larger scale. Last year 249 children
were taken care of at the home during
the summer.

CAUGHT AS He FELL
TXVO-YEAR-OLD BABY DROPPED
FROM ROOF TO SIDEWALK.
NEGRO SAW HIM TUMBLE.
TRIED TO CATCH HIM but ONLY
PARTLY SUCCEEDED.

Broke Baby's FAN, Though, and
Had Been Left in Charge of Nurse.
Who Left 1t to It's own Devices.

Roof OF stoop From Which 1t Fell.
Injuries SO Far Ascertained
Consists of Bruised Head and Face
ton FriersOn. ST..
From the effects of fall of twenty
or more feet to the sidewalk, little
William Stuart Frierson, the 2-year-old
son of MIR. and Mrs. Norton Frierson,
ST., is lying painfully injured at the
home of his parents, No. 314 Waldburg
street, east
The accident occurred yesterday
morning at II o'clock. Mrs Frierson
had left the house, after putting the
child in charge of a colored nurse. The
nurse let the child wander away from
her, and knew nothing of it's where
abouts or actions until it's bruised lit
tie form was picked up in the street
and brought into the house.
From the time the child was lost to
the sight of the nurse no one saw the
baby until it fell, but from the cir
cumstances it seems that the child,
left to its own devices, climbed to
the second floor of the house. thence
through u low window out on the roof
of the piazza, or stoop, overlooking
the street.
1t vas only after it had got into this
dangerous position that colored man
saw it, and perceiving it's danger
started forward, but only in time to
see the little one lose it's balance and
come hurting down toward the side
walk. The man made an effort 10
catch the child, and did in a measure
break the full force of the fall, but
the child struck with enough force to
bruise quite badly it's forehead and
face.
The man, whose name was not
learned, picked the child up and car
ried it to the door, but could not make
the nurse hear him, and finally had to
carry the little one to the yard gate
before he could get it in the house.
DR.. Corson was at once sent for and
arrived before Mrs. F'rierson did. The
child has not been unconscious, and
1t is hoped that it's injuries are less
severe than they at, first seemed.

SUE RECALCITRANT ROADS.
Railroad Commission-Refus to
Switch ID. d BIS Cars.

Railroad OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES TO
switch ID. d BIS Cars.
Atlanta, Aug. 2S.--At a conference
between Attorney General Boykin
Wright, Chairman Spencer r. Atkinson
of the Railroad Commission and Judge
Sam Atkinson of Brunswick, attorney
for the Brunswick and Birmingham
Railroad, to-day. it was decided to
bring suits against the Southern and
Plant System at once for $1,000 each,
for failure to obey the order of the
Railroad Commission, requiring them
to switch the cars of the Brunswick
and Birmingham at Brunswick on the
same terms on which they handle cars
for each other.
This is the first time suits of this
kind have ever been brought to in
hict punishment for disregard OF the
commissions orders. The Plant peo-
Pile and the Southern claim IL is a
matter in which the commission has
no authority, but Chairman Atkinson
says 1t is clearly within the commits
sion's province. There is a law en-
towering the commission TO sue for
1000 IN case OF the disobedience on
the part OF any road TO It's orders.

A WEAK HEART.

VIII Strengthen the Organ.

1t is not many years ago that the be-
lief prevailed that sufferer from
heart disease was in constant peril
whenever he moved and that the nearer
he approached absolute rest the better
1t was for his heart. This is still true
in respect to certain forms of heart dis
easc-thosc due to actual disease or de-
generation of the heart musclcs-but
when the disease is in the valves, rs it
is in the majority of cases, the modern
teaching is that properly regulated cX-
ercise is beneficial. This is founded
upon the common sense view that the
heart is like other muscles in that it
can be strengthened by exercise to
meet increased calls upon it.

A Knockout.

A young lawyer was engaged In a
case not long ago when 4 witness was
put in the box to testify to the reputa-
tion of the place in question.
This witness, n stage driver, In an
Swer to query as to the reputation Of
the place, replied, "a poor shop"
The lawyer inquired, You say it has
the reputation of being poor shop""
Yes, sir"
"Whom did you hear say it was n
poor shopT"
The witness did not recollect any
one he had heard say so.
"What" said the lawyer. "You have
sworn this place has the reputation Of
being poor shop and yet cannot tell
of any one you have ever heard say
so?
The witness was staggered for q mo-
ment ut the words Of the lawyer. The
lawyer was feeling triumphant when
the witness gathered himself together
and quietly remarked, addressing the
lawyer:
well, you have the reputation Of
being a poor lawyer, but have never
heard any one say So"
