LICENSES FOR CHURCHES
ST.. PauFs Plan to Bring All Assembly
:-:-. Places Under Authority.

st. Paul is considering a. proposition to
license churches and public halls as well
as theaters, which are already licensed.
The proposition is not 4 revenue measure,
however, but simply to bring all public
places more directly under the authority
of the building Inspector. He will be au-
thorized to refuse licenses to such places
as do not comply with the building laws
and those which have no licenses he can
close without any red tape proceedings.

have, practically, no snow. In
summer we have no humidity.
This is an ideal climate for home
for old people and the health of
the community is above the aver
age Of any other. Yet the inevita-
BILE decrepitude of old age is COM
ing on us, rendering many incapa-
BILE of maintaining a home of their
own. Those in such condition who
have gone to the national homes in
the cold ATTITUDES have been obliged
to return here or suffer a return
of former diseases, and as rule
they have died within a short time
if they remained north.
We fully believe that a Home
here would not only conduce to the
health and comfort Of the old SOL
diers but that it can be maintained
with greater economy than at any
other point in the country; and we
believe also that the people both
north and south will look with ia
vor on an appropriation to build a
Home where Nature herself re-
spends so generously to the health
and comfort of those who once, in
the vigor of their young manhood,
stood between the nation and i'm
minent dissolution and resultant
destruction-the great nation that
floats its proud banners on every
sea, whose credit and prowess are
honored in all lands and whose
prosperity is unrivalled by any ma
ton on earth.
And, although we feel humble in
view of the small part each one
played in that great drama of war,
we are proud to think we were a
part of that great army that stood
undismayed till the last foe had
laid down his arms, when we re-
turned to our homes, having for
ever settled the questions that men,
aced our national existence.

FOR A SOLDIERS HOME AT FITZGERALD.

At recent meeting of Post No.

Federal Soldiers Home came up
for discussion. After the matter
had been discussed pro and con,
DR.. G. A. Butcher, F. D. Lee and
j. R. Green we're appointed a COM
mittee to draft a petition to
our representatives in congress
The committee have completed
the work assigned them, and here

TO the Honorable Members of the
Senate and House of Represen-
tatives in Congress Assembled:
We, the undersigned Union vet
Grams of Fitzgerald, Georgia, and
vicinity, do hereby pray your hon
orable body to give us an impartial
hearing in the matter herein pre-
sented.
This is the only colony of old
Union veterans in the South. We
came here eight years ago seeking
o mild and healthful climate in
which to spend our declining years
with some immunity from the dis
eases incident to rigorous, cold
climate. We have not been disap-
pointed, and, though ninety per
cent. of those who came here were
suffering from various diseases and
many of them old, the death rate
has been lower than that of any
other community of like pol,ula-
ton, numerically, anywhcrc in any
direction. We.feel that we have
fully tested the healthfulness of
this locality. We are 450 feet
above sea level, only ninety miles
from the Gulf of Mexico, which
insures US ample drainage, besides
being above the line of danger
from yellow fever.
We are south of the line of snow
storms and north of the coast

THE BAZAAR SHOE STORE
WAS CLOSED THIS Nc

This forenoon deputies w. H.
Fountain and Dan'l Luke served
an attachment on a part of the
stock Of the Bazaar Shoe Store,
and the place is closed today.
The attachment was sworn out
by the Roberts, Johnson & Rand
Shoe Co., of St. Louis, who claim
a purchase-money lien on the
bulk of the stock. The claim
amounts to nearly 100000.
For several days Mr.. R. B.
Wood has been making the most
faithful efforts to meet this claim
and all others that appear against
him.
The Bazaar, the Bazaar Shoe
Store, and the Whittier, Wood
& Guy Co., groceries, are all
practically under the manage
ment of Mr.. r. B. Wood, who
anticipated the maturity of these
claims and made sale of the Ba-
zaar stock, amounting to about
100000, and the shoe store,
which would net him about $3,-
100000, but owing to the new law,

given to and the acquiescense of
all creditors, to make sale of

MoundvilIe, Alabama, Was
Almost Destroyed
Terrible Disaster BefeII the Town

Swept from Their Beds.

Tuscaloosa, Ala, an.22.-The
mostdisastrous cyclone that ever
swept over this section visited
Moundville, Ala, a town of 5000
inhabitants, fifteen miles south of
Tuscaloosa, this morning at l o.
clock, and, as a result, thirty
seven persons were killed and
more than 100 injured, and every
business house, with the excep-
ton of a small drug store, COM
pletely destroyed.
The cyclone struck the city
from the southwest, dealing
death destruction as it made it's
path, quarter of a mile wide,
through the town.
Surgeons were rushed to
Moundville from Greensboro
and Tuscaloosa, and all possible
was done to alleviate the suffe
ings of the injured.

Women for the most part handle

know more about it than they do.
Many who trusted their little fortunes
in bank stock did not know that they
would be responsible for as much
more money to make up deficiencies
to the depositors in case Of defalca-
{ ton. Many would not have been so
free to trust their all In them if they
had quite understood that holding
stock made them part owners of the
bank, and they must help secure the
patrons against loss, as merchant or
farmer must secure his customers
against loss. Itispoorly worth while
for women to clamor for more busi-

There seems to be no way to learn
but by bitter experience. After we
have had to suffer we appreciate the

and we are more anxious to learn and
to think for ourselves than to follow

THE WHIPPING POST.


A. S. Meserve, Warden at New
Castle County Workhouse, near Will
rnington, who has personally applied
the lash in all the whippings at that
institution, has dropped bomb in
the ranks of whipping post advocates
by declaring that he does not believe
the system lessons the percentage of
crime in the State.
He made the statement at prison
reform meeting held under the au-
spices of the New Century Club, and
went on to say:
"Since February, 1890, 46I men
have been sentenced to total of 1871
lashes. The lashes of 22 of the men
sentenced were remitted by pardons.
There have been III men in that
time sentenced to the pillory for one
hour each. Of this number 81 we're
whipped a second time ID third
time q fourth time and fifth
time.
I find the character of the man at
the post determines the size and char
acter of the crowd attending. 1t ex-
cites their sympathy and the decry
against justice and the laws of the
State. They are not as good citizens
as before.
Before other prisoners the man who
has been whipped poses as tough
and comes in with swing and
swagger that disturbs the discipline of
the prison. They are not as good
prisoners as before.
From comparison let us see if it
deters. According to statistics from
the last census in the United States
one person in every $50 is prisoner.
In our State with post and pillory one
person in every 725 is in prison, not
including our industrial schools. So
far as can find only five States have
a larger percentage of prison popula-
ton, and these are States having
large cities with a large foreign pop
ulation.
DIR. Frederick H. Wines, Secretary
of the New Jersey State Aid Associa-
ton, said the whipping post was bad
on the man whipped, bad on the man
who does the whipping, and bad on
those who witness it. He did not be-
lieve the State derived any benefit
from the whipping.
District Attorney Nields declared
that there is a great deal of namby-
pamby philanthrophy in this world.
"My opinion" continued Mr.. Nields,
''is that the pillory and post are thor
oughly vindicated by the most en-
lightened thought on the subject
where serious moral dereliction oc-
