AVE-DWELLERS OF LONDON.
 People who cannot afford to dwell in a room must live in a cellar. There are many families In London who in- habit these dark and airless dungeons. They eat and live and sleep below the level of the foul pavements, and the tainted water soaks us through the brick floor and oozes upon the wall. Men dwell in caves before civilization began; the process of decivilization in every great city has brought their de- scendants to lower deeps of savagery. For the cave-door of the savage openh upon great spaces of free air; but the slit of window at the pavement level looks upon a noisome alley or close courtyard
 There is a certain paved passage in the east end which slants down from a roaring, crowded street into dingy square. On the left as you go down towards the square, grating in the pavement covers the little well upon which looks a cellar window Dust and filth and stray paper filter through the grating into the we'll; the glass of the window is clotted with mire. Now and again dusky light used to glim- mer in the pane.
 Within, in the cellar of the crazy, obscure block of houses that def1led the air there lived for years--actually for years-a widow lady with her two little girls, Her husband, l grieve to say, had been a member of a larned profession. By stages needless to
 trace, he fell into poverty and degra- dalton, and then died, leaving his family totally destitute. Her suffer- ing must have affected the intellect of
 the poor lady who was thus left with two small girls; but no one save her self knew the circumstances which
 drove her to hide herself, like a
 wounded animal, fercely grasping her young.
 l cannot but record the fact. The lady earned wretched pittance by inces-
 sant sewing, She used to steal forth
 by night to and from the shop of her
 employers. The children she kept prisoned in the cellar, lest they should
 be contaminated by the inhabitants of
 that vile district She fould sooner have had them die, and so she pre- ferred the risk of death. And they
 would have died had not the charit-
 able ladies of certain nilsson Eiscov-

 as such a place could be. The two lit-

AMERICAN MEDICAL STUDENTS
 VIENNA

Owing to the popularity of Vienna with American doctors, and the large number who have prolonged their stay in the city, an American medical society has been formed The society has now been in existence little over two years, and under It's able staff of officers has greatly prospered. It has a president. vice-prestdent, executive committee and an orientation committed Each mem Der of this league has to look after his particular department. There is one member of this committee for the class es of general medicine, another for those of surgery and gynecology, an- other for pathology, another for the eye, and so on.
 The society assumes the responsibility of keeping the classes full for the nrO. fessors and their assistants, and not only does everything in the interest of the members of any given class, and those who propose to become members of a class. The classes are limited to five men for operative work. eight for ophthalmoscopy. and ten for external eye diseases. Each consists of twenty hours, an hour every day except the baoteriology and eye muscle class. which Is finished sooner.
 Before the medical society took mat ters in hand the fees for the respective courses were higher than they are now. Now they are well within reasonable limits-fffty or sixty kronen (S10 or S12) according to the subject. An operation class is more, about 100 kronen (s21l as the material has to be paid for From the Medical Brief.

 The case of the widow and her chill dren is exceptional. But why? Not because they dwell in a cellar There is nothing unusual in that circum- stances. It is exceptional because of the character of these pttiable cave dwellers They suffer intensely you see because they had knowledge of what life might be. It was that knowledge which drove the poor lady partly out of her wits. Now observe the measure of that suffering gives some indication of the immense wrong inflicted on the helpless children of the poor because it Is the result of comparing a state of intolerable degra- dation with condition-not of opul- ence or of splendor-but of ordinary life among what are called the middle classes-I4ondon Standard.

DAMAGE CAUSED BY DEER,

People who think there are not deer enough in Connecticut to do any harm are referred to the experience of Mrs. Edward Gillon of East Hampton. A herd of five deer occupy her garden a good deal of the time that she does not stay in to drive them away They have eaten up good part of her crops and at last she has applied to the selectmen for compensation and com- misioners have been appointed to ap- praise the damage. Another claim for like damage has been filed in that vici- nity.

PORT RATES
WOULD TAKE TRADE
From Marietta Factories,
Says Railroad Commits
siOner Brown.
Communicated

/ EDITOR MARIETTA JOURNAL see in
the Atlanta Journal letter from my
Friend, Mr. B. G. Brumby, to the effect
that he had polled the employees of the
Marietta Chair Co., and that Hoke
Smith had received all but two of the
votes.
Now, Hon. Hoke Smith has one hob
10y which may vitality interest the en-
Iployes of the two chair companies in
Marietta if he can get to be governor.
j mean his port rate" hobby. By
rates" he means cheap rates on
every thing from Savannah and Bruins
wick to all points in Georgia. If these
sport rates" go in with the figures he
advocated, the Eastern chair factories
will sell nearly all the chairs in Georgia.
Let me give you the rates now in effect
on chairs from Marietta and Savannah.
quote the less than car load rates per
100 pounds, to some sample points, viz
FROM MARIETTA. FROM SAVANNAH.
The Marietta journal. [volume] (Marietta, Ga.) 1866-1909, 1906-07-05

On the above rates, the Marietta
shippers get a pretty good trade in
Georgia. But, if Mr.. Smiths "port
rates" go in, the following will be its
figures to the above points: To Macon,
36 cents; to each of the other points
named, 40 cents.
Mr.. Smiths "portrate" would there
fore make the following reductions
! the rates on chairs from Savannah, viz !:
To Athens I9 cents, to Macon 20 cents,
ito Cordele 10 cents, to Albany 10 cents,
TO Americus 10 cents, to Milledgeville
is cents, to Columbus 10 cents.
| If the Railroad Commission, there
fore, did not take an equal number of
cents off of the rate from Marietta to
each of these points, the result would
be disastrous to Marietta. But in the
s'Nebraska case" the United States
I6upreme Court decided against so great
a reduction.
Now, if my friend, Mr.. B. G. Brumby,
believes that the Supreme Court would
decide against so great reduction in
Nebraska and allow it to exist in Geor-
gia, he is more credulous than I am.
His company, believe, also makes Ia
bles. Hon. Hoke Smiths "port rate'
from Savannah on tables would have
been % cents to Macon, and 81 cents to
each Of the other points above named.
Let Mr.. Brumby figure his less than
car load rates to each of those points,
and see what Mr. Smiths ''port rate''
would have done for him.
make this statement, and can easily
prove it: If the Railroad Commission
of Georgia had have yielded to Hoke
Smiths demand for ''pOrt rates." it
would have ruined every manufactu
in Marietta. And when these factories
were shut down, and the families of the
! operatives were suffering for bread,
because the port rate" had taken the
trade from Marietta and given it to
Philadelphia New York, Baltimore,
ETC., these, our fellow citizens, would
have had just cause for condemning
the Railroad Commission for yielding
to Hoke Smiths demand. And yet,
Hon. Hoke Smith declares that if
elected governor, he will appoint a
Railroad Commission that will put in
the port rate" So you see what q
! vote for him means,
Respectfully,
JOSEPH NJ Brown.

HOKE SMITH
At MARIETTA,
A Large Crowd Greeted
the Candidate for
Governor.

HON. hOKe smith, candidate Tor the
Democratic nomination for Governor,
must have felt gratified at the enthu-
siastic reception given him here last
Saturday afternoon.
He was met on the arrival of the two
O'Clock trolley car by reception COM
mittee headed by Hon, John Awtrey,
Ordinary. The Marietta Gem City
Band discoursed lively music, and
great cheers went up as they played
"Dixie."
The court house can seat about $50
people, and there were probably 800 or
1000 people seated and standing--many
were unable to gain admittance.
Hon. John Awtrey, Ordinary of Cobb
county, extended a cordial welcome to
Mr.. Smith. and Hon. J. Il. Foster,
member-elect to the legislature and a.
member of the State Executive Com
mittee, introduced the speaker.sasa1zsua
Mr.. Smith spoke for about two hours,
mainly on the same lines he has been
speaking on elsewhere, railroad rates
and negro Acknowledgement.
Mr.. Smith is forceful, fluent speak
er, and knows how to turn point and
present an argument to fine advantage,
and that he had the crowd with him
was quite evident. They applauded his
utterances, and seemed to be in full
sympathy with his ideas.
His oratory and the character of his
speech reminded one of the stormy
days when FELTON,, the independent
candidate for Congress, swayed the
people and held them to his allegiance
by his adroit methods and political ap-
peals. ~~4su..
Mr. Smith commended that the rail-
roads should not make over five per
cent on actual capital invested, and all
over that was robbery of the people,
and if he was Governor, he would sus-
spend Joseph NJ. Brown and Warner
Hill, railroad commissioners, because
they did not regulate rates to prevent
extortion. He said it cost 80 cents per
bale more - ship cotton from Marietta
to Savannah than it did from middle
Tennessee to Savannah, twice the dis
lance. s@@
He said that he was in the fight for
four years as Governor to regulate rates,
and that railroads should not be al
lowed to issue watered stocks and bonds
and make dividends upon them.
He said he was in favor Of elimina-
ting the negro as political voter by
Acknowledgement. This was a white
mans country and white men should
rule it, peacefully if possible, but with
Winchesters if unavoidable. He said
that the negro was being ruined and
made worthless by too much education,
and he was in favor of taking from the
negro an equal share of the school
taxes, which the white man pays, and
educate the negro only to read and
write, and make hoeing COTTON part OF
their lessons each day.
Mr.. Smith attacked all the other can
Violates, and said they were running in
combination to beat him, with the rail
roads. and Hamp McWhorter manipu-
lating the keyboard.
After bis speech, Mr. Smith came out
on the streets and city park, and mixed
and mingled with the people. He re-
NAMED in the city until nearly five
O'Clock, and took the trolley car back
to Atlanta.
That it was Hoke Smith day, no one
will gainsay who was present.
