Longshoremen Lose Strike.

After a long and desperate struggle against the stevedores, the negro long snoremen, about 1000 strong, gave up the fight this afternoon and will return to work at the scale paid before they went out The negroes made a good start in their effort to gain increased wages, but lack of proper generalship and the avail able labor from the country districts op- erated too strongly against them.
 The stevedores received valuable assist ance in their fight against the strikers from the Mobile and Ohio and Southern officials, the interests of these railroads being at stake in the fight. At no time, after the second day of the strike, were the stevedores seriously hampered in se- curing labor. though owing to it's infe- riority, there was considerable delay in getting cargoes loaded and discharged from vessels not handled by white la bor. Only one line, a Florida coastwise steamship company, attempted, during the entire strike, to use strikers in load ing. One of the vessels lying at the Mo- bile and Ohio docks in order to get the cargo loaded. had to shift to another dock.
 Weakness was shown in the ranks of the strikers yesterday when some of them sought work on river steamers and this evening they virtually threw up the sponge. Two crews were order ed to report for work tomorrow morn- ing.

Wall of Elks' Home Tumbles.

A wall of the Elk's home now in course of construction topped from it's founda- ton at S:30 o'clock this morning and fell into the river forty feet below. The accident Is attributed to a pressure of sepage which accumulated because of the stoppage of the drainage pipes.
 The damage is estimated at $50, but it entails no appreciable delay.
 The wall which fell this morning was not the main wall of the building but a rear wall made to sustain the pillars of portico It stood upon the brink of the bluff During last night seepage and mud accumulated against the wall and stop ped the drainage pipes. When Contractor Purvis began work this morning he re- leased a large volume of water against the wall thinking it would be emitted through the pipes into the river, but tho stoppage of the pipes prevented the wa ter from finding an exit and the added pressure against the wall caused it to give way. Almost the entire wall. sixty feet long and twelve feet high, toppled over the bluff and into the river. The foundations of the wall were undisturbed
 MT. Purvis estimates his loss at $15O He says he will be able to recover the material which fell this morning and that the delay in the completion of the build ing will be practically nil

oflife. Next to the consciousness of
God which demands reconciliation
with the Creator, Saviour, and Judge
eternal, the destiny Of souls is most
seriously involved in love and marriage.
The one grand human passion is SEX
love. 1t involves everything which is
possible to human experience. Woe
unto the mortal, man or woman, who
trifles with it. The physical, mental,
and moral evil of it's abuse is simply
unutterable. The crime, insanity. and
wreckage of earthly prospects which
can be traced to meddling match-mak-
ers, match-breakers, and to wilfnl,
foolish marriages would make the
imps Of hell Shudder.
The true sentiment of mankind
holds sacred the rights and rela-
tions of recognized lovers. The hero of
true affection dies of a broken heart
sooner than to despoil the love of an
other. The ideal woman never seeks
to draw to herself the attentions of a
man who is even supposed to belong to
another woman. In poetry, in rO-
nance, and in law, as we'll as in tradi-
ton, the instinct of true love is honor
able, and held with sacred reverence
inviolate, by the noblest and best of
our kind. To quote from modern
novels ''lt was not his fault if his
imagination made him fall in love in a
dream with the young girl who was
probably to be the wife of his friend.
But it would be'distinctly his:fault if he
gave himself the chance of falling in
love with her in reality"
