group in Eleveath avenue last night A
husky boy OF sixteen, two muddy little girls
and a young hunohback stood on the pave
ment crying as though their hearts would
break.
Now, what's the matter?' asked Smith
The hunchback stopped crying and looked
the policeman over
You're a cop. amt you?' questioned
the hunchback.
Il am that, said Smith
Well, want me father and me mother
arrested" said the hunchback. They're
always drunk. They're drunk now.
Fathers just after putin us all out on the
street I want 'em pulled"
oh, joel" screamed one OF the little
girls.
Shut up, Bridget" said the hunchback.
.'Tis the only thing to do"
The policeman followed his lead to the
tenement at e72 Eleventh avenue and
opened the door into a bare and dirty room.
An elderly man was sprawled out over a
table, bawling stupidity. A slatternly
woman sat on the floor, wailing between
hiccoughs. A thin and dirty baby cried in
her arms.
That's the layout" said the hunchback
briefly, 1T goes hard when their childer
has to have EN- pinched.
Smith hesitated over his duty. The hunch-
back noticed it,

thin and sick.
Are you sure you want to press this
complaint" asked Sergt. O'Brien at the
desk in the police station before he booked
the parents.
Sure. We can get along without Them
said the hunchback.
Bridget. Rosie and John cried bitterly
when they saw their par ents taken to cell,
and begged Joe to take it back, b,:t he
stood his ground
Its the only way for EN- he said
The little girls were turned over to the
Gerry society. The baby was left for the
night with her mother under watch of
the police natron. She is in bad way
from malnutrition.
Several weeks ago Foster. according to
Joe's story, nearly killed his wife by beat
ing. which closed both her eyes and broke
her nose. She wouldn't have him ar
rested.
There Is hardly a piece OF furniture left
In the Foster house. Joe says that when
the At came on his mother she'd pawn
everything In sight to get money for drink.

HANDSOME EARNINGS
OF COTTON CARR IERS
CentraIs Securities Last Week Made
Big Advances.

CentraIs Securities Last Week Made
Big Advances.
The very heavy movement of cotton
during the present season is showing
it's effect on the gross earnings of the
cotton-carrying roads, among the chief
of which are numbered the five roads
in which this section of the county is
mainly interested. The latest reports
of the gross earnings of these all show
material gains over those of the same
period last year, as the following fig
ures will show:
Atlantic Coast I.ine-Gross earnings
for September, $1,729 SOS; previous year,
$1533, 416. From July 1 to latest re-
port, $465S,T4S. against $4.30S,671 for the
previous year.
Central of Georgia-Gross earnings
for the third week of October, $271, 800;
previous year, $230,000 From July to
latest date, $3,14S,S12; previous year,
$780, 45.
Louisville and Nashville-Gross earn
ings for third week of October, $S12, O25;
previous year, $775,935. From July to
latest date, $11,6S5,596; previous year,
81, 403, 465.
Seaboard Air Line--Gross earnings
for August, $1,014,770; previous year,
$946, 619 From July 1 to latest date,
$1,9S6.015 previous year, 81 1921, 279.
Southern Railway-Gross earnings
for third week of October, $1,015, 1893;
previous year, $933,l2 From July to
latest date, s15,024,335; previous year,
$13,9 ,O69.
Some idea of the position that South
ern roads are now occupying in the
stock market may be gathered from
the activity of Central of Georgia
bonds on the New York Stock Ex-
change last week. Trading in these
issues was exceptionally heavy. OF all
kinds the sales amounted to $780, 900,

points; seconds, 101s points, and
thirds, 16 points. The popular explana-
| ton of these advances is that the
heavy increases in the earnings of the
road promise well for a dividend on
| all classes of its bonds.

day afternoon after a long and tedious
ride, and is stopping at the De Soto.
In the evening she had banished much
Of the WEAKNESS of the trip, and chat
ted pleasantly of her play and of its
meaning.
She appeared considerably surprised
to learn that in the South the play is
considered somewhat, "risque," and in
simple words declared she would not
for an instant lend her talents to the
furthering of any play really objec-
tionable.
THE play teaches a splendid moral
lesson" said Miss Fowler to a repre-
sentative of the Morning News. "How
anybody could conclude that it is an i'm
moral play, 1 cannot see for the life
of me. Were it such a play I would
have none of it. Such a view origi-
mates from an entire misconception of
the play. Why there has arisen such
a misconception do not know. 1t GER
tainly does not obtain in the North
There is absolutely nothing vicious
about the woman. Her only fault is
her weakness. She is simply weak,
not bad. She is not an immoral wom-
an and makes mistakes simply through
weakness and a desire to help others.
Why, the very first act after she re-
ceives the check book is to use it to
help little girl she is fond of. There
is nothing wrong in that.
About the finale? Well, the curtain
comes down at good time, especially
for the stage property. With any 9TH
er ending the moral would be lost. 1t
is manifestly impossible for the wom-
an to be forgiven, for if she was the
lesson would not be a moral one. The
finish seems a brutal one, but any
other would not harmonic with the
spirit of the play. No lesson could be
taught otherwise.
Compare the play with East
Lynne There is not one-half the
excuse for Isabella's fall as for the
weakness of Iris. The latter accepts
protection because she is starving.
This motive certainly has an under
standable basis. Frankly, l don't ad-
mire the woman. deplore her weak
ness, but given the same surroundings
! fear many, far too many, of us
would follow her course"
Instead of the matinee advertised for
this afternoon. the management has
concluded to allow Miss fowler to re-
cuperate from the exhausting work of
the last three weeks. The part is such
a strong one that it Is no light task
10 produce it twice within a few hours.
Miss fowler will spend a portion of
her time to-day driving over the city
and seeing its historic places.
