CIVIC IMPROVEMENT.
Good Work Being Done by Organization
 at Troy.

at Troy.
 Troy, July 8.-(SpeciaL)- was a red letter day in the history or the City Improvement Club. Mrs. J. M Henderson and W. c. Black were at home to Its members at 5 o'clock and by the magic of their hospitality changed the tedium of business hours Into a delightful social affair.
 The President reported the comple- ton of the erection of the hitching posts, donated by the Chemical oil Company, of which O. c. Wiley Is Pres ident These posts are of iron with ring inserted and are thirty-six in num- Der, fourteen being located at the State Normal College. fifteen at Oakwood Cemetery, three at the city school building and four at the Murphree Cem- etery on College Avenue.
 A delightful german was enjoyed last evening by the young folks at the City Hall. It was given in honor of the vis- iting ladies in the city. The german was led by Miss Key of Cuthbert, Ga. and Jake Griffin of this city.
 Deputy Collector w. F. Russell and Deputy Marshal J. F. Greene came in this morning from Houston County. where they made raid yesterday ana captured a fine copper still and com- plete outfit near Cottonwood. quan- tity of beer was also destroyed. The distillery was said to belong to Jesse Tubbeville, who was arrested by Deputy Marshal Greene and brought to Troy before United States Commissioners Tutwiler. He pleaded guilty to the charge and was placed under a $2OO bond to await the action of the next Federal Grand Jury.

enians sang his praise, and declared that 1t was better to be poor like Aris- tides than rich like Callias.
 What would become of statesman in this epoch who would make the dec- laration of Robert Toombs? He would lose his job the very first time his con stituents got a whack at him. States manship Is become fin great measure matter of business, and business Is now, as it ever was, a matter of money. What are we here for?" Is the burn ing question. We have few statesmen who can reason like Webster. or de- bate like Calhoun, or legislate like Clay, but we have a number who can get rural free delivery, distribute gar den seeds, and secure pensions. These are become of more moment than ex- poundings of the Constitution, or crit icisms of proposed legislation, or leg islation of a general character to pro- mote concord between the sections and prosperity for all.
 1t is not the biggest wonder in the world that a Senator should hire out his influence The wonder is that more of them don't do 1t. It Is unfortunate that constituencies impose on Senators and members duties that are executive rather than legislative. /He needs must go that the devil dives" There
 
 al life. especially the Senatorial end or 1t. It is a position of power and 1t is position of distinction. though why mediocrity should cling to a seat in either house with such desperate ten acity, I cannot understand. But they do 1t. and to retain it some of them will do whatever their constituents order them to do, however unconstitutional in law or however baleful in politics. And so they fetch and carry in the de- partments for Tom, Dick and Harry. and do things they know should not be done. Now it is just as mischievous for a Senator to influence an executive official to do what is injurious to the public welfare because 1t will put money into the purse of one of his con- stituents, and do 1t without a fee, as 1t was for John H. Mitchell to do it with a fee. And Congress is full of states men who spend more time haunting the departments at the demand of their constituents than they devote to leg islating for the general public. Congress ought to be absolutely di- vorced from the departments. and un- til that is done, there will be graft where graft ought not to be.

 The erring wife became the pet Of the ignorant public. The heartbroken husband took to drinking. In befuddied state, passing the pawnbroker's window. he saw the face of his dead child set around with diamonds and unredeemed pledges, raise as the mothers life had been.
 He thought it his right-his duty to res cue her. He never dreamed of theft. "She is mine! My little Lulu."he cried. And for that he died. He died that same night.
 When he was dead the police claimed the brooch with the photograph of little Lulu, end 1t was returned to the pawnbroker. whose property 1t was But when the man was buried the picture of his child lay on his heart.

 Idly giancing at . siitterins display fof diamonds and jewelry. unredeemcd pledges exhibited for sale in the window or DE pawnbroker's store, noticed that rasseo and seemingly starving man stood beside me regarding the gems with wolfish glare.
 There was something 50 uncanny m tne fellows appearance that instinctlyely moved away. then stopped at a nttie ais'- ancs to look back at him.
 As he stood. gloating with fascinated gaze upon tho almost priceless gems ectu- ally within his reach, but for the fraghe barrier afforded by . sheet of plate giess. ! was astonished to see tears spring from his bleary eyes and slowly course dowh nis sunken cheeks
 For a few moments. while watched, his bosom heaved and fell. as if swayed oy some powerful emotion and his long, lean shaking fingers ciutched the air convuIsiVe- ly. A terrible struggle with satan was m progress before my eyes. ana ere couio intervene tho tempter had conquered. which sounded like Lulu. my Lulu!' the man raised his clenched fists above his head and dashed them through tho wind cw glass Then he fell forward across tns trays whereon were many thousahos oA dollars worth of diamonds
 In an instant the widest commotton arose.. vast. surgins crowd surrounaed the reckless wretch. who made no eitort so
  es with blood streaming from his iacerahed hands and smearing his besotted face. soo- ping violently and muttering, "Lulu' my little Lulu!"
 Two big policemen roughly pushed their way through the crowd. They seized the thief and hauled him back past the jagged edges of the thick plate glass with both hands clutching at the region of his heart beneath his shabby vest He fell to the sioe- walk and lay motionless on his back It was then that we saw that the glass had cut huge gash in the mans neck, rom wh'ch blood was rushing in a torrent.
 The crowd pressed forward more eagerly More policemen arrived and fought them back Some one summoned an ambulance.
 Meanwhile the dying man aeiiriousiy y,urmured:
 ,Tt's mine It's mine. You shall not take It from me. My Lulu! My little darling Lulu!w
 After giving my name and address as a witness of the daring theft and previous to following on to the hospital. interviewed the pawnbroker. in my capacity as\a re. porter for a morning newspaper The exciteu moneylender had carefully examined nis stock and found that there was nothing of value missing Nothing but paltry. olc-fashioned cameo brooch. fashioned to hold a photograph at the back.
