Baum's “Maid of Arran” seems to be

Salvinl has drawn down on his head the
condemnation of the New York critics by
his recent speech at a banquet tendered
him prior to his departure for Italy,caused
by his not giving them and the drama in

BAD FOR BURGLARS.
The Burglar Alarm and District Tele
graph Service—How Savannah's Prop
erty is Protected.
A Telegram reporter had just left the
office on Whitaker street al>out 8 o’clock
last niglft and was walking toward the
market, when he was nearly knocked
down by an officer in uniform, running as
if for life toward the Bay. The reporter
was hungry lor news and thought he had
scented a bonanza of an item: Ijjjt he was
doomed to disappointment. The officer
was a watchman of the Burglar Alarm
Company, responding to an alarm acci
dentally’struck in a Bay street wholesale
house while closing the’ doors.
A call at the headquarters of the com
pany found Supt. White and his assistants
on duty waiting for the return and re
port of the watchman. The system of
service is thoroughly organized and the
men are efficiently disciplined in their
duties. The public are beginning to ap
preciate the benefits derived from mem
bership in the institution, which was or
ganized but a few months ago with a
nominal capital of $20,000 and two sub
scribers. and now has sixty-five regular
subscribers, representing the leading
and most substantial business houses in
the city and holding under protection
over a million dollars of property.
The district telegraph and messenger
service has not yet been introduced, but
will be made one of the features as soon
as practicable, and the facilities can be
extended sufficiently to admit of its adop
tion. Already over fifty applications have
been made for the messenger service. A
large number of applications have also
been received for the admission of private
residences under its protection; but at
present business houses only are admitted.
It is the purpose of the management early
in the fall to extend the facilities and ad
vantages to all clases of subscribers.
The practical workings of the alarm
are simple. At the headquarters are lo
cated the battery, the electrical appara
tus and the alarm boxes, which are num
liered and connected by a wire leading di
rect to tlfte place of business of the sub
scriber. Here the alarm is flxM to the
door nr window, so that either in opening
or closing an “electric connection” is
made and the alarm struck in the box at
the main office.
The force of the company is composed
'of regular sworn officers uniformed and
equipped, who are assigned to beats
which they patrol with the regularity of
the regular city police force. A weekly
circular is issued to each subscriber
show ing the number of times and the ex
act hour his place of business has been
opened, thus acting as a cheek upon
thoughtless and tardy porters and clerks,
and insuring absolute protection of prop
erty against robbers and thieves.

The Brunswick Fair—The Attractions
for Next Week.
The seventh annual fair of the Glynn
County Agricultural Society will be held
at Brunswick next week, beginning on
Tuesday, the 22d, and closing on Friday,
the 25th. The exhibition will include a
grand display of farm and household pro
ducts, Howers and ornamental work, ma
chinery, stock, etc. A large listof premi
ums is offered, and the fair will afford an
excellent opportunity for an exhibit of
farm products.
The amusements will include a series of
races, tiremen’s contest and tournament,
base ball matches and military parades,
excursions around the harbor and con
cluding with, a grand ball and exhibition
of fireworks. Tins affords an excellent
opportunity for Savannah to participate
in the amusements and send up her crack
base ball nine and military and
firemen representatives. The Brunswick
band and others will furnish music and
the opening address will be delivered by
R. B‘. Reppard, Esq., of this city. Special
rates of fare are offered over the railroads
as follows: The Brunswick and Western

at two cents per mile and return them
free, and will transport exhibits free both
ways. The East Tennessee, Virginia and
Georgia and the Savannah, Florida and
Western Railroads will issue tickets at
four cents and return them free, and will
transport exhibits at regular rates, and
return same tree of charge.
Brunswick is the only place in Georgia
that has kept up successfully an annual
fair.
The Feast of the Pentecost—lts Obser
vance in the Churches To-Day,
The Feast of the Pentecost, in com
memoration of the descent of the Holy
Ghost upon the Apostles, will be observed
to-day in the Roman Catholic Churches
with appropriate and impressive ser
vices. The Pentecostal festival was in
the early ages one of the most
favorite seasons tor administering bap
tism, and as those who received it were
clothed in white to symbolize the spiritual
purity which baptism confers, the day
acquired the name of Whitsunday or
Whitsuntide, and is also especially ob
served in the Protestant Episcopalian
(. Ini relies.
The services in the Cathedral will be of
special interest. The altars have been
magnificently decorated with flowers by
Mr. M. W. Rader, and will present a
beautiful sight.
At the early service at 6:30 o’clock this
morning, the Young Men's Catholic Li
brary Association will attend in a bod}
and'receive the holy communion. The
children of the church will also receive
their first communion at this service. At
10:30 o’clock Pontifical High Mass will be
celebrated by Right Rev. Bishop Gross.
The Pope’s blessing will also be conferred.
At the evening service"at 7:30 o'clock,
the rite of confirmation will be adminis
tered to a large number of children and
adults. This is one of the great festival
days in the church, and ranks next to
Easter.
What Energy Can Accomplish.
Some years ago two young men began
business in this city in a small way, and
bv close attention and an upright policy,
caused it to gradually assume large pro
portions, and, of course, necessitated
larger quarters. We allude to Messrs.
Mohr Brothers, 139 Congress street, who.
to meet the requirements of their largely
increasing trade, built the handsome store
which they now occupy. They, however,
find that it is still inadequate for their
purposes, so that they are compelled to
give up their retail business entirely and
convert their trade into a wholesale ex
clusively. As alterations to the store
will commence on the 25th inst., the stock
in the retail department must be disposed
of before that time. To accomplish this,
they are offering genuine bargains.
The Temperance Picnic.
The Catholic Temperance Societies an
nounce elsewhere in our columns that
their picnic will be given at Isle of Hope.
We learn that a special committee went
there and selected the place as the
most suitable at this time for
their picnic. The depot has been
removed to the upper side of the large
pavilion, which gives all the protection
desired for controlling entrance, while the
promenade is more extensive and private.
The new management of the Suburban
Railway have spared neither trouble or
expense to render the resorts on their line
attractive, and the public will be certain
to appreciate and patronize them.
Taken Suddenly 111.
Mr. George Ch. Gemunden was taken
suddenly ill with congestion of the
lungs on the street in the neighbor
hood of the market, about a quarter past
11 o'clock last night. He was removed to
his saloon, corner St. Julian and Whitaker
streets, where hie wife was summoned,
and lbs. Falligant. Corson and Nichols
were called and rendered medical aid.
At last reports he was somewhat letter.
Mr. Gemunden is well known, and his
sudden illness will be learned with regret.

Report of Hon. Henry B. King Before
the Georgia Society for the Preven
tion of Cruelty to Animals.
In the general report of the President
of the State Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Animals, at the recent conven
tion at Columbus. Hon. Henry B. King
says: “Generally throughout the country
the cause of the animals is making good
progress and gaining ground. New so
cieties are constantly being formed and
new powers granted to those already in
existence.
“Os the new societies formed last year
the most important was that of Newport,
where much good was done during the
past season.
“As an instance of the growing tendency
to strengthen and confirm the powers and
scope of the society, I quote the very ad
mirable decision of Judge Heigley, of
Ohio:
•■Cincinnati. April 14.—The Society for
the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals
gained an important case to-dav in the
Police Court. The society had caused the
arrest of several persons for shooting live
pigeons at a tournament, and a test ease
was made by one of the parties arrested,
and a demurrer was filed. Judge Heigley
decided that the word "animals" iu the
statute included every living dumb crea
ture, and that the words “torture” and
“cruelty” included every act of omission
or neglect whereby unnecessary physical
pain or suffering is eused or permitted.
He was satisfied that the allegations made
were sufficient to constitute crime under
the laws of Ohio. The demurrer was
overruled.’
“Such decisions as the above are worth
whole reams of written arguments in sup
port of our cause. In this connection, I
inay mention that to Judge J. T. Willis,
of the Chattahoochee circuit, belongs the
honor of having been the first to charge
the "grand jury with the laws for the pro
tection of animals.
“The woman's branch of this society in
Augusta continue their good work of edu
cating the youthful mind. Their distri
bution of prizes for essays on the subject
of kindness to animals is now confidently
looked for annually and is become an es
tablished institution.
The efforts of this and kindred societies
for bettering the condition of our dumb
fellow creatures cannot tail to have made
themselves telt. The very agitation of
the question, by calling attention to the
facts, is bound to do good. Much of the
cruelty practiced is the result of thought
lessness—much more the result of
ignorance. It is our mission to educate
the public mind. Public opinion must be
led—it cannot be driven. It is to public
opinion that we must look to put down
what I may call our wholesale
cruelties. Os them the three greatest
I should say are: First, the trans
portation ot cattle; second the use of
check-reins; third, the use of horses for
street cars. Medical and inventive sci
ence promises soon to lessen, if not alto
gether remove the first and third evils; iu
the first case the fact that the suffering
caused by long confinement of animals on
cars made their flesh unfit for human
food is working its own cure, and ar
rangements are being made on a larger
and larger scale for the slaughter
of the animals on the spot, and
for the shipping of the carcasses in re
frigerator cars. In the case of the street
car horses, it cannot be long before the
invention of an electric or some other
motor will supersede their use.
“In the matter of check reins, little can
be done but by individual precept and ex
ample. It is extraordinary what misap
prehension people labor under in this re
spect. A friend told me he only checked
up his young horse until he should have
given it style and taught it to hold its head
well up. My groom is often asked how it
it his horses carry their heads so erect. His
answer is ‘because they can put ’em down
if they want to.' On every side we see
about us the fast increasing evidences of
man’s progress in civilization, and as his
civilization advances so, pari passu, does
his humanity. For the measure of that
civilization inay almost be taken by the
evidences of his humanity. Show me a
highly civilized community, and 1 will
show’you numerous hospitals, asylums,
charitable institutions and the like.
“And the dumb brute and his friend
watch all this with an anxious eye, for
when man has done all he can for man,
then, think they, he will turn his atten
tion to us. Meantime, let us not wait for
that far off millennium. Let us each in his
own sphere do his little part in the great
work set before us, not forgetting that
each little kindly act, each friendly bit of
advice, each little remonstrance or warn
ing, may, in the mighty aggregate, do an
amount’ of good, prevent an amount of
evil that will bring to the face of nature a
brighter smile than she is wont to wear.”
AN INCREASING BUSINESS.
Savannah’s Vegetable Exports to North
ern Markets.
The business of truck farming, which
is being carried on so extensively in the
country surrounding Savannah, is at
tracting a great deal of interest in other
States, and especially in the North. No
one knows until he tries it the economy
and profit there is in having a small, well
tilled garden. The New York Shipping
(razette attributes truck farming as one
of the most important industries in the
Southern States from Virginia to Florida.
The business is carried on chiefly in
North and South Carolina, the country
around Savannah, and in Florida. W hil'e
North Carolina is doing a splendid truck
farming business, it is a little too far to
the north to do much in the way of file
earlier vegetables. Mobile does a large
Vegetable business, especially with St.
Louis. Where soil and location are fa
vorable, industrious, skillful, economical
farmers make “truck farming" a very
profitable branch of agriculture. No one
knows, until he tries if, the economy there
is in having a small, well tilled garden.
Florida has become one of the most im s
portant of the Southern States for the cul
tivation of vegetables and fruits for the
Northern markets.
The (hizctte further goes on and gives
the following statement, showing the pro
duce shipped to the Northern markets
from the port of Savannah by steamships
alone, including vegetables and oranges
from Florida during the last season:

A Lively Affray— A Colored Waiter
Chastises a White Man.
'About 8 o’clock last night a crowd was
attracted to the corner of Bull and
Broughton streets by a sanguinary affray
between a negro waiter and a quarrelsome
white man. The colored lad was quietly
passing down Bull street with a tray of
dishes, when he was jostled by a white
man and the dishes knocked’ from his
hands and sent crashing to the sidewalk.
Naturally he resented the treatment.
Hani words were used, and finally re
sulted in blows. The negro squaring for
defense sent his assailant sprawling in
the street and then ran down through
Coifgress street lane and escaped betore
the police arrived or any arrests were
made.
What is Being; Done on the Salts
There is considerable inquiry among
our citizens as to when the new hotel at
Montgomery will be opened. A repre
sentative of the Telegram made a trip
to that place yesterday and found a large
force at work'getting the grounds in order,
completing the new dancing pavilion
and doing other work. Mr. Bruce, the
proprietor of the hotel, is getting his
rooms in order, and those that are fur
nished make a handsome appearance.
The culinary department will be ready
for the cooks during the coming week, anil
the week following it is expected every
thing wil be in readiness for guests.
A Prosperous Showing.
The earnings of the Ixntisville and
Nashville for April. 1883. were $836,150,
against $953,603 for the corresponding
period Ihst year; a decrease of $17,453.
The demand in the South for grain now is
exceedingly light, as last year the South
raised its own grain. This fact makes a
decrease in business now, but greatly in
creases the purchasing power for the fu
ture. An official of the Ixtuisville and
Nashville states that the decrease in busi
ness is altogether due to Mie business ori
ginating north of the Ohio river. The
company’s local and passenger traffic is
better than ever before. This gentleman
expresses the belief that the South is
financially better off now than she has
ever been for a long time.
Foreign Exports
The Norwegian bark Josva was cleared
yesterday for Amsterdam by Messrs. A.
Fullarton A Co., with 398 pieces of pitch
pine timber, measuring 347.173 superficial
feet, and 206 pine deals, measuring 18,694
superficial feet. Total value of the cargo

FRESH FROM THE FRONTIER
A Man in Buckskin and His Remarkable
Career.
At the Savannah, Florida and Western
Railway depot yesterday there was a pas
senger who bore the appearance of having
seen extraordinary service. He was
dressed in a buckskin suit, his ammuni
tion i>ouch strapped over his shoulder
and his trusty gun stood by his side. His
flowing beard was tinged with gray, and
from the length of his hair it was evident
that for a long time he had
not responded to the barber's cry
of -next.” A Telegram reporter
interviewed this man of the forest and
found that his life had been one of strange
incidents and tragic events. He was
born near Jersey City, and at an early age
was driven from home because of
the cruelties of an inebriate father. Set
tling in Tennessee upon reaching man
hood he married tind became the father of
two beautiful girls; one eloped with a
gambler, the other was thrown from a
wagon and killed while returning from
a dance, and his wife, becoming hopeless
ly insane, died about two years after
ward. The world seemed a blank to him,
and finding nothing to bind him to the
home of his adoption, he resolved to spend
the remainder of his days upon the fron
tier. For several years he followed trap
ping. was twice-captured by the Indians,
once stealing away from the Indian vil
lage while preparations were being made
to execute him; and the second time re
leased by the raid of the United States
When the gold excitement broke
out in the Black Hills region he made his
way there, and succeeded by mining tn
securing about $25,000. Although he never
drank, the cruelties of his father being
yet fresh in his memory, yet he was al
lured to the gambling board, and there
lost the dollars he had earned by enduring
the hardships of the mines. His next step
was to visit, Deadwood, and here he was
again successful, accumulating over $75,-
000 in less than six months. This time he
shunned the enticing board. He
went to Texas and Mexico,
and there, by successful operations,
accumulated still more. About four
months ago he returned to his old home
in Tennessee, to the wonder of the citi
zens. There he was informed that his
daughter who had eloped with the gam
bler was living in the little village of
Salem, Ohio, the mother of three children,
while her husband had reformed and was
a prominent member of the Methodist
Church and a respected business man of
the place. Thither he went, and as the
old man pictured to the Telegram re
porter the reunion, the tears trickled
down his cheeks—cheeks hardened by
exposure, and that one would suppose no
tears had ever moistened. After a
visit there, and seeing the happy
life led by the daughter dear
to his memory, he returned to Texas
to take up securities (hat he had invested
there. He then went to New Orleans, and
is now on his way to visit an aged sister in
Jersey City, after which he proposes to
return to Salem and spend his
remaining days with the only surviving
member of his family. The daughter
whose image he had so often produced in
memory while seated in the thickness of
a Western forest. He gave his name as
Samuel Wilkinson.

■ Advice to Mothers.
Mrs. WinsLow's Soothing Syrup
should always lie used when children are
cutting teeth. It relieves the little suf
ferer at once; it produces natural, quiet
sleep by relieving the child from pain, and
the little cherub awakes as “bright as a
button." It is very pleasant to taste. It
soothes the child, softens the gums, al
lays all pain, relieves wind, regulates
the bowels, and is the beet known remedy
for diarrhoea, whether arising from teeth
ing or other causes. 25 cents a bottle.—

FASHION WRINKLES.
The Season’s Novelties—Gloves and Ho
siery-Late French Dresses—Ribbons
in all Colors—Paniers to Hold on. Etc.
Big buckles are the rage.
Leather fans are in favor.
Gold thistles are the latest for the hair.
New grenadines are in Spanish lace pat
terns.
Daffodil aud primrose brocades are im
ported.
Black dresses are again in high vogue
abroad.
Cashmere ecru is trimmed by bottle
green velvet.
Ottoman silks are combined with plain
velvets in new spring costumes.
Red or green silk pompon trimmings are
fashionably worn on walking costumes of
tweed Or nuns' gray ladies' cloth.
Pansies of all colors and sizes on
grounds of various colors appear in chine
effects on some sash ribbons and scarfs.
Ribbons grow more and more gorgeous,
and no color seems too brilliant to be used
by itself, or in combination with several
others, as a trimming for bonnet or dress.
The new zephyr plaids make jaunty
lawn tennis costumes, and the colors
oftenest combined are olive, the new shade
of eranbefrry red. and pale primrose yel
low.
Pale amber and gold beads, or those of
pearl and gold, are used to outline silk
embroideries on Grecian house robes and
matinees of white albatross cloth or
vigogne.
Long Jersey gloves, ten-button length,
in silk, and'linen, or finest cachemire,
are highly favored for spring wear. These
gloves can be found in every desirable
street shade.
Tailor-made costumes in tweed, pepper
and-salt mixtures, cheviots, in heather
mixtures, mottled cloths, and undefined
stripes and plaids are selling in large
quantities for fatigue costumes.
Raw silks and pongees, in novel tints,
quite different from the old gray and ecru
shades, will be worn this summer as pol
onaises or redingotes over - short under
skirts of velvet or best brand of “Louis”
velveteen.
White silk Jerseys are much employed
as bodices designed for bridesmaids' toil
ets of white Ottoman silk, or of kilted
satin skirts with scarf drapings of bro
caded gauze, edged with wide ruffles of
Oriental lace.
Balbriggan stockings abound in the new
varied tints of strawberry, amber, terra
cotta, drake's neck blue, laurel green,
bronze, elderberry, and a deep rich shade
of violet. Each of these colors is clocked
with old gold or cream white.
Lilac, crocus and arbutus blossoms,
laburnum snowdrops, and, above all, daf
fodils and jonquils—pale harbingers of
spring, “all sprinkled with -dew,” made
of powdered crystals—are the corsage
and coiffure bouquets par excellent with
dressy evening toilets.
Among other pretty dainties which
fashionable young ladies are preparing
for summer wear—works of their own
hands—are garden party hats of ficelle
lace, lining the inside of crown and brim
with pale blue or rose-colored surah or
Canton crape. Another fancy is to run
black velvet ribbon through the meshes,
finishing with a knot ot velvet on the top
of the crown.
The most fashionable of the white
toilets worn this summer, instead of
being relieved by the usual colors of rose
color, blue or mauve, will be enlivened
by the newer shades of French terra
cotta, tea rose, shrimp pink, and the like,
and a leading toilet will be one of white
nuns’ veiling or vigogne, with broad sash
and other satin ribbon trimmings of pale
primrose yellow, with primroses in the
corsage and hair, and necklace and chate
laine of amber beads.
An heirloom of a dress, wrinkled with
age and the weight of the clothes press,
lately brought to light to utilize as a cos
tume for a fancy dress party by a youth
ful butterfly of fashion, was found to be of
a shade exactly corresponding with the
modern one known as terracotta. But
the owner of the dress—the grandmother
of the girl—smiled knowinglv and shook
her head when the shade was named, say
ing that the color of her dress when she
wore it was just pickinini, and nothing
else.
The latest French dresses show many de
cided changes in mode and material,’ but
no marked difference from last season in
the general effect of costumes. Bouffant
styles still continue in vogue, but there
is no no sign of the immediate revival of
the hoop. Basques fitting smoothly over
the hips in Jersey fashion are replaced
by jaunty little basques rounded up on
the sides, pointed in front and finished
with a pleated postilion at the back. The
most stylish basques have a trimming of
silk velvet or some contrasting material
to simulate a vest in front.
It is now many months since a report
was raised that panniers were a “thing of
the past,” -and would quickly be out of
style. Many fashion writers, 'learning of
their continued popularity in Paris, de
nied this statement, and it only needs a
very cursory glance around the parlors of
our modistes to perceive how very falla
cious was-their information, and how lit
tle probability there exists ot a fashion
found so generally becoming suddenly
ceasing to exist. The continuance of this
mode, however, does not prevent equal
favor being shown to the long redingotes
falling plainly over the skirts, or the close
fitting basques and panels and flowing
draperies..
With airy summer materials, which are
difficult to adjust closely to the figure,
handsome belts of varied kinds will be
stylishly worn. The bodice may then be
left a bit looser and kept to the waist by
the ceiuture. These waistbands are ar
ranged in many ways—fastening at the
left side over floating ends of ribbon, or
with two costly gold buttons fastened
with silk cords, or attached in front by a
handsome jeweled buckle or clasp, the lat
ter style giving scope for elegant and ar
tistic belt ornaments: diamante®, bril
liants and real “old paste” being in much
request. With these girdles the chate
laines—so pretty and dressy an addition
to a lady’s dress--will be revived.
The fashions and fabrics this year
ought to suit everybody, for any material
made in almost any style is admirable,
provided the dress is’ perfect in fit. Colors
also have a range enough to suit every
complexion that nature or art ever pro
duced. But there is always some pre
vailing tint, and just now yellow bolds
that place of honor. Every one is wear
ing yellow of some shade; houses fire
draped with yellow hangings, and bon
nets, hats, flowers, laces and dress ma
terials all have a bilious tendency. Fair
and dark beauties alike affect the color,
whereas until recently it was considered
suitable only to brunettes of a decided
type; but in its brownish shades it is now
thought to be as becoming to fair people
as is pink, mauve or blue.

Os 289 theatrical combinations that

The late Mr. Rindge began his business
life as an office boy, and died worth $2,-

The Detroit Free Press man is reported

Eugene Field, a Denver editor, once

A bock called “The Possibility of Not

that man, having risen to his present con

may be developed until he has reached
such perfection that decay and death are
no longer possible. When we look at
Boss Kelly. O'Dynamite Hossa and Sam

feeling to know that they have developed
too rapidly in another direction to come
within “the possibility’ of not dying”
category.

WOMAN.
Hope for Suffering Woman--Some
thing New Under the Sun.
By reason of her peculiar relations, and her
peculiar ailments, woman has been compelled
to suffer, not only her own ills, but those aris
ing from the want of knowledge, or of con
sideration on the part of those with whom she
stands connected in the social organization.
The frequent and distressing irregularities
peculiar to her sex have thus been aggravated
to a degree which no language can express.
In the mansions of the rich and the hovel of
the poor alike, woman has been the patient
victim of ills unknown to man, and which
none but she could endure —and without a
remedy. But now the hour of iter redemption
has come. She need not suffer longer, when she
can find relief in Dr. J. Bradfield’s Female
Regulator. “Woman’s Best Friend.” Prepared
byDr. J. BRADFIELD, Atlanta, Ga. Price-
