No, sir, you needn't worry one least
bit. I'll hit that house boat inside OF
another hour If the wind holds.'
, Aboard the Colonial Dame all had
gone we'll. She had been towed down
to the bay and anchored The sculptor
felt that the game was in his hands
and was determined to win. He
counted on a moonlight night, ripping
waters, wavelets softly tunking against
the sides of the boat, poetry, signs and
the soft strain Of music floating over
the waters from some summer resort
where sandwiches sold at IL cents
each. The fog came and blotted out
the moonlight. 1t was too damp to
sit on deck, and the artists sisteFeac-
companied them down in the cabin,
and his suit did not advance. At 10
o'clock the house boat rocked silently
on the waters with all on board retired,
At about that hour also the captain Of
the Merry Sal was saying to Harold
Strong as they walked the quarterback
together:
Eyes, sir, the Sal has got nose ON
her, and there is really no use for me
to carry a compass. I've told her to
smell out that ere boat of yours, and
she's a-doin' it. Pm reckonin' she'll
hit it within fifteen minits. Why, L
could turn in right now and feel that If
that boat of yours is anywhere on Prin-
cess bay the Sal would hit her with
in'- .
The Sal hit her. Whether she was
guided by Providence, the lunkhead OF
a young man or by her nose may never
be known, but as q matter of fact she
suddenly crashed into the Colonial
Dame and cut her down to the waters
edge.
There were shouts and screams and
yells Of confusion. 1t seemed for q
moment as If all on board the house
boat must be drowned, but luck was
with them. The tide had gone out and
there were only three feet of water
active on the bows of their craft, and
the artist went overheard at the first
crash and fished around until he found
the right party and then saved her IN
q sopping, but uniniured state. He
also magnanimously extended saving
hand to his rival and to his future
mother-in-law. and as he piloted them
to the sandy Jersey beach and counted
heads to find all present and accounted
for he was hailed from the departing
schooner with:
''Well, good night, young man. I
told you the Sal had nose on her and
would hit this ere house boat in the
darkest night, and you see am mari.

Ben B. Lindsey, the "just" judge
of Denver-the man who saves young
criminals and who turns "bad kids"
into good citizens-the leader of boys
gangs, and the friend to whom the
children of Denver turn when they are
in trouble-has to fight. He is "up
against" the "ring," just as every
reformer in the country is "up
against it. In the November Mo
Clure's, Lincoln Steffens, who in a
preceding article has described the
fascinating work of this man, tells
the story of 1.-THE opposition. This
is story for every mother and father
in the country to read and ponder
over. Judge Lindsey has to fight the
machine but he has also to encounter
the prejudice and antagonism of
"fool'' fathers and incompetent
mothers "who haven't enough love
for children to understand them, nor
enough character to hold their re-
spect.'' The account of Judge Lind
sey's work with parents is as inter
esting as that of his work with chill

More than 200 operatives have been secured and the mill will probably start with a full complement of 300. The addition of 10000 spindles to the plant will make necessary con siderable increase in the number ot operatives. When the Abingdon Mill begins operations, all of the cotton mills of Huntsville. whose aggregate spindle capacity is 211,000, will be run ming on full time.
 Perhaps the largest sale of spot cot ton of the year in this section has been made by James E. Butler. a merchant of New Hope, Ala, who has sold 1,30O bales to the Decatur representative of a Montgomery commission house. MT Butler got II cents for his cotton, the lot bringing him about $7i.50O. Sew eraI bids were made for MT. Butler cotton. He offered 1t to the market a few weeks ago at 1885, and there were no takers MT. Butler has 4OC bales left of the last crop which he will hold for prices around -5 cents.

NEGRO WOMAN BURNED.
Harriet Farley win Die From Her Ii

Harriet Farley Win Die From Her In-
 jurtes.
 Horribly burned and suffering ago. nies, Harriet Farley, an old negress, lies at the point of death at the resi- dence of her adopted daughter, Lucy Stoudanaire, sos South Union Street. The negress sustained injuries at o'clock yesterday afternoon. At late hour last night attending physicians pronounced her condition to be hope less.
 The manner in which the old wo- man was burned and the pain which she suffered continually thereafter. aroused the pity and sympathy of the neighborhood. Although she had re- sided in Montgomery for years she had only recently made her home with her adopted daughter
 Al few minutes before the accident occurred. the daughter had gone to visit neighbors, leaving her mother alone in front room of the one-story cottage. The old woman sat near the fireplace a few minutes and it was but a short time before she fell asleep, when she awoke,l she found herself In 4 blaze. Almost suffocated with the smoke and flames that encircled her the decrepit old woman ran into the hallway of the house and there she made every effort tp tear her apparel from her body. She grasped a knife, which was lying on a nearby table, and desperately attempted to cut her cloth ing loose from her body. She finally succeeded in getting rid of part Of the burning material, but only after she was completely prostrated and almost burned to death. She ran back wildly into her room. and. at this instant, her daughter returned home. The daugh- ter screamed for assistance and 1t was but a few seconds before the neighbors came to the rescue of the woman.
 A physician was hurriedly summon ed while Harriet Farley was laid on the bed and every possible means used to give her relief. Every effort was unavaiIing. She suffered a thousand tortures. In about an hour physician arrived. He saw that she was beyond recovery, but prescribed for her relief She nevertheless continued to suffer. and the city physician was called in at an early hour last night.
 The woman was burned more severe ly about the breast, the arms. the shoulders, and her back was a mass of charred flesh. Her face was also hlistered One finger was burned par tialIy off and others were mutllated.
 Lucy Stoudemire, the adopted daugh- ter of the woman, Is confident in the belief that her mother put a stick of wood or pine on the fire, and then sat down close to the fire, where she fell asleep. The fire ate its way on the wood and the stick dropped out of the erate, setting fire to the clothing of the woman.
 Harriet Farley is very old. Those
