and Identification of streets and parks
and roadways aud baths and libraries

a REMARKABLE srEPMorHER.

Here is story from an English
paper that would do credit to Barrie or
Ian MeLaren. It is a patriotic incident
from actual life:
ga Perthshire farmer lost his wife
when his child was born. Two years
later married her cousin In course of
time they had son, and Helen, the
second wife, proved a most devoted
stepmother. It was decided that both
lads should study for the ministry
When they were about to leave school,
however, the farmer had some severe
losses. Both boys were in the same
class, as the elder ones studies had
been delayed owing to bad health, and
it had been settled that they should
60 together to the university. But
now, owing to lack of money, the farm
er decided that only one could go to
college; the other must stay and work
on the farm. The question was
which was to go. Maniike, he placed
the responsibility of the decision on
his wife's shoulders. They were both
his sens, and he had no strong feeling
IN the matter. Helen, his wife, had q
hard struggle. TO use her own words:
4 prayed and prayed about it. John
wiena gle ony help. He telt me tae
pick maser, an, o, night I went up tae
their room an sat doom at the bedside
I lookit at ma ain laddie, an ah, what
a prood wummin wad hae been to see

ither. puir Jeans mItherless BARN, an
iist couldna think o. plttin' ma ain

Il her decision to be commended?
Not many mothers, we take it, would
10 decide. This Scotch stepmother de-
,eaves q crown-as stepmother, at
eaet.

Amusing Franks the Erratic Types
Played With a Composer.
Miss Maude Valerie White, author of
numerous popular songs, has told a
number of anecdotes, many OF them at
her own expense. l suppose, she once
wrote in the Cornhill Magazine, all
composers have had laugh over the
extraordinary mistakes which some
times occur in the first proofs of their
songs. l remember years ago writing
a very sentimental song, in which the
line occurred
I've never once regretted the VOW made
that day.
My feelings may be imagined when !
found they had printed
I've never once regretted the row made
that day.
Hiss White also told about an anus
ing mistake which occurred in the pro-
gramme of one of her concerts: A
well known singer and very good friend
Of mine was down to sing my two
songs, 'To Marry" and Grabbed Age
and Youth" But the newspaper an
nounced something very different. Not
content with drawing up a programme
of my concert, it drew up programme
OF my future. for read as follows:
Mr.. Blank
To Marry Maude VaIeria White
Grabbed Age and Youth.
AS am good many yearssolder than
the friend in question, the coincidence
struck me rs particularly funny, and
| cut the programme out of the news
paper and sent it TO him. By the first
mail next morning l received an iden-
teal cutting from him, with an inquiry
whether he was to take this as form
al announcement of our engagement
and expressing a mild surprise that he
mad not been consulted in the matter.

necessity of being compelled to 60 often

c0RPOREAL PUNISHMENT

How far civilization has advanced
Ia Georgia can be measured by the
whipping of Miss Minnie DeCrest,
who is under sentence for two years
In the penitentiary Of that State for
securing $40, 900 worth OF dilnonds
from a Savannoh jewelry firm.
The full details Of the whipping
have been made public, and it mp
pears that the women, who is young,
beautiful aud a member Of highly
respected family in Savannah, was
charged with refractory conduct
She was lashed on the naked skin
and then put to work in the field
with negroes.
Al the Picayune observes:
"This outrage should cover the
entire State administration Of
Georgia with disgrace, which can
only be whipped ont by the ex.
posure and dismissal Of the officials
engaged in It. It was an atrocity
for which there Is no excuse IN a
civilized country, one Of which only
barbarians Of the worst class would
BE- guilty. 1t discrodits the State
that carries on that sort Of official
business. =

THE RICE MARKET.

Generally speaking there is no
ground for dissatisfaction, for con.
sidering the season OF the year
there is remarkably good enquiry
and the market il in good tone.
Stocks IN dealers hands are at a
low ebb which has forced some lit.
tic "swapping'' to meet require
ments and this tends to keep prices
tirm.
Advices from the South report
good progress in tho new crop, but
owing 10 it's being late in maturing
and present frequent rains, the har
vest now quite II month behind,
continues to be Delayed, since 1t is
we'll known that "wet" cuttings
yield very poor results at the
"pounder.'' The receipts have been
but few hundred packages OF
rather M inferior order, aud it is
quite evident that the planters arc
disposed to use greater care than
ever in securing the safety Of their
crop, therefore the out look points,
because of light supplies Of
"old" aud the slow prospect for
the "new crop to strong values
or sometime To come.
Cables and correspondence from
abroad report strong conditions
with advancing tendency due to the
shortened supplies aud shrinkage
IN forward shipments.

For several days there has been
nothing said about the charbon
question, aud it was the the opinion
of many Of the people that the
scare hud about died out and that
the dying Of the cattle was due to
some other disease, but upon in.
vestigation this morning we learn
that as yet there has been no con-
troll whatever gained over the
dreaded disease, and so far there
has been thirty five head of stock
died in this city and near vicinity,
and the disease Is spreading more
rapidly than at any time previous.
In conversation with DR.. Tabor
this morning we learn all Of the
eases have been confined to the dis
trict about two miles northwest OF
tho city and ont OF the thirty five
head that have died be estimates
that there have been fifteen head Of
cattle. A case Of charbon is re.
ported in the city limits today DR..
Tabor states further that in several
instances where the cattle have died
they have been left lying on the
prairie. Ont Of the three hundred
head that were vaccinated by the
doctor last spring two head have
died. This IL u record that all the
planters should give attention and
all owners Of stock should have
them vaccinated as soon IS possible
and 10 this way endeavor to shut
of the course OF the disease. ---Jen-
