 MOB ATTEMPT.
People of Demopolis Glad inst No vio-
 lence Occurred at Linden, Where the Situation Demanded Soldiers.

Demopolis. July 22.--(Special) IA day or two ago The Advertiser corre- spondent sent in a strong denial of any facts to justify the sensational run1or sent out from Linden to the effect that a posse of citizens from this place and Sumter County were going to Linden to lynch Robert Richardson. the negro under death sentence for the murder. last fall. of pr. Foscue ne<r this city. This denial was sent to The Advertiser and to The Birming gham News upon the solicitation of a number of prominent citizens of this city. after diligent in- quiry, and while very strongly denounc- ing the report. was put in modified terms, and at that time everyone felt that the fair name of Demopolis was being rung in in connection with a mob and 1ynching without any shade of facts to tustfy 1t, and the people felt that 1t was an outrage being perpetrated on the community's good name.
 Since then. however. 1t has leaked out that there were very good grounds for the rumor. and that 1t was really true that something of the sort hap pened. A gentleman from Jefferson, seven miles south of this city. reported having seen a posse pass through that place on the day that the request for aid was wired Governor Jelks, and other vague rumors led the people here to believe that a posse had been organ ized with the purpose of taking tho prisoner into their own hands. The circumstances in the case are no doubt strong provocation. even to law loving popuiace like that in Demopolis. Tn the first place, the murder Is one of the most cold -blooded that has ever blackened the fair name of Marengo or Alabama. Then. 6 special term of the Circuit Court was asked for by the people here. This was knocked out by the illness of Judge Lockland. Then. when the regular term at last came around and the prisoner was convicted and sentenced to hang. execution was suspended by the firnsiest technicality of the law, awaiting the action of the Supreme Court. few weeks later the negro cleverly planned an escape, which, had 1t successfully worked out, would have resulted in the death or JaiIer Tucker. Fortunately. the mur- derers plans failed to work out as he wished.
 And then the wholesale jail delivery at Linden last week which occurred in broad day, at which time every prisoner in the county jail. most of whom were charged with murder. made their es- cape, except Robert Richardson.
 . All of this was enough to fncfte the indignant citizens to action. Much satisfaction is expressed here that the prompt action of officials baked the posse and frustrated their plans, and that no lynching occurred.

legged Law Violations.
 St. Louis July 22.-For the first time since the anti-pool selling law went into effect. Governor Folk today took an active part in the effort to suppress the alleged violations of the law at the Delmar race track.
 Acting under his directions a force of seventy-fiv city policemen under the personal command of Chief of Po- lice Kiely visited the race course. The gate keepers refused them admission, but A. c. Stewart, president of the St. Louis board of police commissioners, Chief Kiely and Chief of Detectives Desmond bought tickets and entered the grounds.
 The police officials were met by off, ficials of the track and together with the latters attorneys held a consulta- ton. Chief Kiely announced that no arrests would be made unless he saw evidence that the law was being vio- lated The police remained at the track until after the last race and then returned to their respective sta ton houses. No arrests were made.
 The Delmar track is located in St. Louis County, just west of the city limits, and the questions of the au- thority of the governor to use the city police force in the county Jurisdiction has been freely agitated for several days, but the action of Governor Folk was taken after seeking legal advice. Police were instructed to use all peace full means to gain admission to the race track but if resisted with force to fight their way in. arresting any employe of the track or county ofi- cer who attempted to interfere with them.
 Judge H. S. Bond. attorney for the Delmar Jockey Club. under date of July 20. notified the St. Louis police board by letter that any attempt on the part of the police officers of St. Louis to interfere with the Delmar race track or trespass on the Jockey Clubs property situated within the limits of St. Louis County would be resisted by the Delmar club managers.

Spoiled children are not all of ten
der years. Many Of us continue
spoiled children all our days. In fact
the worst spoiled children are grown
up. Most Of us are spoiled because
Providence and man have been too
good to us. If we have desired this,
that or the other, it has been given
us; If our wills have clashed with
those about us, we have prevailed; If
our health has failed little, there
was much petting, pampering and
nursing. Many loving husband has
thus turned his young wife into a
fretful, peevish and selfish spoiled
child-often confirmed invalid. For
In the fullness of love he has made
efforts to grant every wish, buy every
bauble, protect her FROM hardship and
toll, and has asked after her health
so often that she herself commenced
to IVORY over it. So then when this
spoiled child was fully developed the
husband perhaps saw the folly of it,
but 1t was then too late. Then there
Is the earnest, striving, amlable wife
who waits on her husband, kneels to
receive has caresses ana wearies him
with hOney-Sweet demonstrations.
Soon the man yawns and his thoughts
go a-roving; he expects the service as
right; he grows into a great and
disagreeable spoiled child, and his
wife discovers Bottoms ear, but per-
haps fails to realize her own foolish
ness in the matter. Insidious and very
delicious are these courses of sweets.
1t Is safe to presume that if any Of
us were offered the same we would
promptly take 1t and demand more.
1t is not for any of us to judge until
we have passed through temptation
unscathed. Selfshness sometimes IL
necessary; GOODNESS is bracing; aloOf-
ness is invigorating. Even where per-
haps we could find pleasure in serving
1t is a good thing to hesitate and
weigh well whether it is the best
part Of wisdom. The pleasure we find
in serving is the most dangerous cause
Of OVERRIDING. Common sense in love
is worth its weight in gold The doc
trine and practice Of unselfshness
may be angelic, but its too Jealous
uphOlding is injurious to the rest Of
the family.

In New York City. Forty boys who

boys who, under the old system, would
probably have been sent to Jail for
short terms, stamped with the shame
OF jail sentence, and perhaps start
ed on criminal careers. Under the
parole system they appeared In court
before justice, who had their COM
plete record Of behavior since their
trial. Seventeen Of them brought re-

released from parole and received a

Were human nature in It's family
relations to be judged solely by the
incidents which are reported in the
newspapers, the skeptic and the pes
simist might perhaps have reason for
the unfaith which is in them. There
are always sons who have been disin-
herited, daughters who are estranged
from parents, or sisters who are ven
tilating quarrel in court. Yet not
infrequently the newspapers also show
the other side Of the shield. Only late
ly brother became the sole heir to a
large fortune which was intended to
provide for two sisters, as well. The
testator left 1t to the brother to man
age for the benefit of all. The heir,
however, feeling that his sisters ought
not to be exposed to any risk or uncer-
tainty, made over the whole property
to them before twenty four hours had
passed. There Is no rock OH which
family affections so often go to wreck
as on that of money-the settling of
an estate, or the provisions Of a will
Yet those concomitants Of a death in
the family are the very circumstances
which ought to bring all the members
closer together, and make them more
charitable and more forgiving. In
some cases, no doubt the testator him
self is at fault. By common consent
humanity has accepted the motto,
Nothing but good about the dead"
and If enmity is thus to be cast aside
by the living who look into an open
grave, why should it be cherished and
carried over by him who has received
the great summons? Why should he
wish to stretch from the unseen world

than one open in blessing and benef-

The way to preserve 1t, when an In
heritance Is in prospect, is exactly to
