An exquisite reproduction of
REMARKABLE PAINTING
Practically
GIVEN AW AY
"The Three Most Beautiful Roses
BY Paul de LoRSprs.

At the urgent solicitation of the Wom-
ans Home Companion, Mr.. Paul de
Longpre, who is the greatest painter of
flowers in the world, consented to make
a painting of what he considered 'The
Three Most Beautiful Roses" and the
painting is without doubt one of the mas
terpieces of this great artist. This mag
nificent picture is reproduced in all its
original grandeur on the cover OF the
Woman's Home Companion for June.
Although this cover is an accurate repro
duction of painting worth hundreds Of
dollars, yet the June number, which has
this exquisite cover, may be obtained at
any first-class newsstand or direct from
the publishers for the trivial sum of only
ten cents.
Mr.. Paul de Longpre is justly styled
the king of Flower Painters" He not
only paints roses, bat every flower that
grows, and is the highest authority on
flowers, His paintings are found in the
most select homes. Some have sold for
as much as seven thousand five hundred
dollars ($7.50000).
Artists, art critics and competent judges
all agree that the covers of the Woman S
Home Companion far excel those of any
other magazine.
The Woman's Home Companion is a
magazine which in beauty and excellence,
art, stories, illustrations and fashions,
etc., excel all other home and family
magazines, The Woman's Home Com
panion is published by the Crowell Pub
fishing Company, New York City, also
Chicago, ILL.,, at one dollar year, and is
the favorite magazine in nearly half q
million homes, where it is read each and
every issue by three million people.

PUBLIC OPINION.

Editor THE CHRONICLE:
There appeared in your columns last
week an article written by Eugene Tray
is, who saw fit in his wisdom to score the
city council for not having a law cover
ing the cruel treatment of the lower am
mails Wehaye this law and it was made
rs strong as it could possibly be made by
us, and as we have marshal and deputy
marshal who are under bond to see that
not only this law is enforced, but every
law this corporation has upon its books
enforced, we feel that we have done all
that the citizens who elected us requires
at our hands. The facts in the case does
not show that Eugene is as wise as he
thinks he is.
There is another old saying that "The
pen is mightier than the sword, and we
are sure that Eugene thinks so, for he in
variably resorts to the pen. Now for the
benefit of Eugene and the citizens of
Camden, we have asked the editor OF THE
CHRONICLE, who has kindly consented to
do SO, to print the law referred to above,
which follows, and we trust this will end
the discussion of the matter
A MEMBER
The Camden chronicle. (Camden, Tenn.) 1890-current, 1905-05-26

To insist that the proposition
that the city is helplessly at the
mercy of law breakers is not to be
accepted without confessing that
all law is useless and government
an utter failure. In Camden the
laws will be enforced if the city
marshal will determine to enforce
them. If the laws are not enforc-
ed so as to make it constantly dis
turbing and hazardous and un-
proftably expensive to the law
breakers, it is because the marshal
does not do hisduty. In this event,
the remedy can be applied by the
city council.

kins the foreman rubbed his hands. He
intended to loom prominently in the pub

Il do not think we need trouble you
any further, Miss Holt" said the Coroner.
Il presume, gentlemen, to the jury,
you have no questions to ask the wit

"Oh yes, we have, begging your par

should like to know what the young
lady and the old gentleman was quarrel
ing about before his 1ordship died.
Il certainly was not quarreling with
Lord Arncliffe, then or at any other
time" said Edith haughti1y. She did
not finch, but it was patent that she
was agitated to a far greater degree than
the occasion seemed to warrant.
The Coroner saw that she was over
wrought, and decided to give her some
little time to recover herself. well,
gentlemen" he said Il think we had
better adjourn for luncheon now, and no
doubt when the court reassernbles Miss
Holt will explain any doubtful points to
your satisfaction"
Edith retired to a private room with
Mr.. and Mrs. Angler. When the old
lady gave her a sympathetic squeeze of
the arm she promptly burst into tears.
There, there, my dear!" said Mrs
Angler soothingly.
Probably none but a woman knows
precisely what There. therel" means,
but the formula appears to have a
mysterious efficiency.
Don't cry, my child" entreated the
old lawyer. "Confound it! What does
that idiot of juryman mean by bother
ing you with his absurd questions?
Things are coming to a pretty pass if
YOU are to be badgered on account of an
housekeeping servant
Il would not mind, Mr.. Angler, if it
was only that" said Edith tearfully;
but what Simpson says is true l was
discussing a very private matter With
Lord Arncliffe-a matter which L must
keep secret at any sacrifice.
Well, my dear young lady, you are
not compelled to tell your private affairs
to a Coroner's jury, though of course
secrecy often makes a mountain out of
what is probably only mole-hill But
what is this wonderful matter? Don't
you think you had better let me judge
what is best for you to do?
Edith shook her head. 81 am sorry, ~
she faltered Don't think me migrate

would tell you directly if it only con-
cerned myself; but the secret is not my

Angler was disappointed and little
hurt A man who has kept inviolable
for years whole cupboards full of other
peoples family skeletons does not like
his clients to withhold condolences. But
he was mainly concerned because he fore
saw that Edith's reticence would be
productive of good deal of pain and
annoyance.
However, he pursued the subject no
further. Edith under the combined in
fiuence of cheerful conversation and a
glass of wine which he insisted upon her
taking, became more composed When
the court reassembled she was calm
enough, outwardly at least.

The question was skilful1y put Edith

gerated the ordeal before her; but
Angler metaphorically tore his hair--he
knew that such suavity BODIED i'll for a
witness.
The servant has reported our con-
versation correctly" Edith answered:
but Lord Arncliffe and myself had
merely reopened the discussion of some
private business upon which we had a
difference of opinion. Lord Arncliffe
was at ali times rather impatient of
opposition, and no doubt he spoke more
sharply than was his won't
May ask the nature of that business?
You are not, of course, compelled to

There was some reference to a sum of
three hundred pounds. Was that an
item of the business under discussion2"
YES admitted Edith faint1y-the
moment she had been dreading had come
at last. Lord Arncliffe had lent-per-

For what purpose did he give you
this money!"

Angler rose to his feet with we'll

he protested, "it is not extraordinary
that Lord Arncliffe should give so paltry
sum as three hundred pounds to the lady
he had chosen to inherit his vast wealth."
'Not at all, Mr.. Angler" returned
the Coroner. Nevertheless, we must
remember that he took pains to prevent

conclusion. l presume, Miss Holt, Lord

Eighteen Persons Killed.

The most disastrous railroad wreck in
Massachusetts, for many years occurred
at S:l5 o'clock last night at Bakers
Bridge station, a mile and a half west
of Lincoln. on the main line of the Fitch
burg division of the Boston and Maine
Railroad. The regular Sunday night
express, which left Boston at 7:45 o'clock
for Montreal via the Rutland system,
crashed into the rear of local train,
which started from Boston at 7:l5 o. clock
for points on the main line and the
Marlboro branch.
At least eighteen persons we're killed
outright, burned TO death or sunocated,
and thirty or more were seriously in
jured. Many passengers sustained minor
cuts, bruises and burns.
The wreck was primarily due TO thick
weather, which apparently obscured sig
nails set by the forward train, which at
the time of the disaster was standing in
front OF Bakers Bridge station.
The Montreal train, drawn by two
locomotives and consisting also of nine
cars, crashed into the rear of the MARI
boro BranA local, demolishing the two
rear cars. All of the passengers killed
and seriously injured we're in these cars.
None of the passengers on the Montreal
train we're seriously hurt, but the eDgi-
neer and fireman of the leading locomo-
tive were killed. The wreckage caught
fire and some of the passengers were in
cinerated.
From information at hand the engi-
neer of the first engine drawing the ex-
press ran by block signal which had
been set at danger by the Marlboro
train. The Waltham station was turned
into temporary hospital until train
could be made up to take the dead and
injured to Boston.
The wrecking crews worked all night
on the wreck extricating the dead
and injured The scene of the wreck
was horrible. Five members of a sim
gle family met death in the accident.
Most of the passengers on the local were
men aud women returning TO their homes
after having spent the day with friends.
Sweethearts were killed before each
others eyes, children's lives crushed out
while parents looked on in anguish.
