the late Miss Mary Telfair bequeathed the
residue of her estate, amounting to about
$200,000, have purchased of Mr. George

street. About the Ist of April the work
of tearing down the brick residence facing

will be closed, and the entire purchase
thrown into one enclosure, When these
changes shall have been completed, the
Board of Trustees will commence to erect
such a structure as will be suited to the
requirements of the institution.
Pinkerton After His Game.
It was reported yesterday afternoon
that Allen Pinkerton, the noted detective,
was in Savannah under an assumed
name, and a reporter of the Morning
News immediately made an effort to lo
cate him. A well known resident
detective was also informed that
Mr. Pinkerton had called to see
him. The attempt to learn at
what place the visitor was stopping,
failed, but it was learned that he left the
city on the Savannah, Florida and West
ern Railway for Jacksonville, and was in
close pursuit of a man who had fled from
a Western city with several thousand
dollars of a bank in which he was an
official. The reporter, during his search
for Mr. Pinkerton, also learned that the
latter had sent one of his force to this city
from Chicago several days previous. Thi9
gentleman did not accompany Mr. Pin
kerton to Jacksonville, but remained here
until last night.
Major Burgess Sustained —A ction of the
Military Academy Trustees.
A special meeting of the Board of Trus
tees of the Georgia Military Academy was
held on Friday evening, the President,
Col. Charles 11. Olmstead, presiding, and
Messrs. J. B. West, John Flannery, John
L. Hardee, S. Guckenheimer, H. F. Grant,
David Wells and 11. M. Comer present.
The President stated the object of the
meeting to be to take action in regard to
the late case in the City Court against the
Superintendent of the Academy, Maj. B.
J. Burgess, in which he was fined for an
alleged assault and battery on a youth
who had followed the small boys into the
academy yard.
Considerable discussion ensued on the
matter, and Capt. John Flannery offered
the following, which was seconded by
Maj. John L. Hardee, and unanimouly
adopted:
Whereas, Major B. J. Burgess, Superin
tendent of the Georgia Military Academy.has
lately been subjected to a fine by our City
Court for an alleged assault and battery, and
Whereas, The offense was committed in
defending the smaller pupils under his charge
from illtreatment at the hands of larger boys
not connected with the Academy and in the
punishment of one of their number; and
Whereas, This board feel that the action of
Major Burgess was more in the light of a de
fense of those under his charge than of an of
fense against the spirit of the law; therefore
be it .
Resolved, That the Treasurer of this associa
tion be directed to pay the amount of the line
imposed by the court on Major Burgess, and
also all costs and other expenses incurred by
him in the matter.

Masonic Temple, which l he News has
already mentioned, promises to be a fine
entertainment, bince the last exhibition
the young ladies composing the company

almost perfect, and the company move
ments are executed with remarkable ex
actness, showing that they have under
gone some very hard drills. The unilorm
worn on the occasion is attractive, con
sisting of white skirts, garnet jerseys,
skull caps, white cross and waist belts,
with the monogram S. C. on waist

Importing Pianos.
Mr. Herman L. Schreiner, the Congress
street music man, has embarked in the
work ot supplying this part ot the South
with first-class pianos at a very low price.
Last Congress the tariff on pianos was
very considerably reduced, and Mr.
Schreiner concluded that he would take
advantage of the reduction and astonish
this market by importing a lot of Euro
pean pianos. He went to Europe last
summer and made his purchases. The
first installment of his stock has arrived,
and is now on exhibition. The pianos
were about two months on the way, and
the ship in which they came encountered
severe storms, but they reached here all
right and in first-class condition. Import
ing pianos is something new for this city.
If they were put on the free list they
would be so cheap in Savannah that few
homes would be without them.

THE SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 1884.
MONEY FOR THE SUNDAY SCHOOLS.
Dow Fines Imposed for Offenses Com
mitted on the Sabbath Will be Dis
posed of—To be Distributed for Estab
lishing and Promoting Sunday Schools.
The question whether the fines collect
ed as a penalty for offenses committed on
the Sabbath day could legally be paid into
the registry of the Superior and City
Courts, and be subject to the lien of county
or city officers for insolvent costs, was
discussed among a number of lawyers at
the court house yesterday. The matter
was referred to the Ordinary, and a re
porter of the Morning News was in
formed that it had been the practice to
pay insolvent costs out of the fund arising
Irorn tines, when any amount of money
was on hand in the registry of the court,
after the costs of the officers had been paid.
The Ordinary said that he had not noticed
the law requiring that such fines shall be
paid to the Ordinary of the county as
prescribed in section 4582 of the Code, and
which further prescribes that they are to
be by him distributed for the purpose of
establishing and promoting Sabbath
schools in the county.
“At any rate,” remarked the Ordinary,
“it is not likely that the fines will ever
reach a large sum from that source. But
admitting that they will, there are so
many Sunday schools that no one of them
would receive a bonanza. However, the
law is there and should be sustained so
long as it is not repealed.”
The Supreme Court, in a decision
reported in 61 Georgia, page 377,
has ruled that “Where moneys arising
from fines imposed for the violation of the
Sabbath had not been paid to the Ordinary
until after the act of 1875, the lien of offi
cers for insolvent costs attached thereto.”
Hence, said the Ordinary, after the liens
are satisfied the balance will be paid to
the Ordinary.
The reporter then called on Hon. P. W.
Meldrim, who said that the Sunday
schools up in Tattnall county not long ago
got the benefit of a fine imposed for the
violation of the Sunday law, but none ot
the schools here had claimed any such
fines, so far as he knew. Mr. Meldrim
cited the case tried in the Tattnall Supe
rior Court, the facts of which were as fol
lows:
Mr. T. J. Edwards, of that county, kept
a store near a river upon which timber
was ratted down to Darien. Some of the
raft hands in passing down the stream
stopped at Mr. Edwards’ store, and asked
him to keep some of their luggage for
them until they returned from Darien. A
number of the men returned on Sunday,
and Mr. Edwards, at their request, opened
his place of business and gave them their
property. The fact was reported to the
grand jury, who indicted Mr. Edwards.
On trial he was found guilty, and sen
tenced by the court to pay a fine of $5O
and costs’. The officers of the court got
the costs, but the Sunday school advo
cates claimed the fine, and it was turned
over to them for the benefit of the schools
under their charge.
The reporter then called on some of the
county officials, who at first were inclined
to look upon the question as a joke, but
when they were shown the law it was inti
mated that if any fines of that class had
been appropriated since 1875 to the pay
ment of insolvent costs the Ordinary
could not claim the money, unless it were
show'll that the insolvent costs had been
satisfied,
A STATE TOURNAMENT.
The Firemen Invited to Macon on the
15th of April.
The Macon fire department is attempt
ing to organize a grand State firemen’s
tournament. At a meeting held on Friday
night they decided to make the coming
15th of April a memorable one in the
annals of Georgia firemen, and hold the
largest and grandest firemanie tourna
ment ever seen in this part of the South.
Every company in the State is invited,
and a special invitation will be sent out
by the Committee of Arrangements in a
few days. The Telegraph, in quoting the
action of the meeting, says the day will
be devoted to such tests as will suit
steamer and hose companies. The tests
will be arranged at a meeting of the
officers on Monday and copies for
warded to all the companies. The
Committee of Arrangements have
rolled up their sleeve to make
the city as attractive as possible on the
15th, and to bring representatives from
every lire company in the State. They
will make Mulberry street a vast theatre,
and to accommodate the large number of
visitors will have raised seats running the
entire length of the block, from Second to
Third streets, on either side. They will
also have the finest music that can be
had, and leave nothing undone to make
the day one long to be remembered by the
firemen of Georgia.
The citizens of Macon will do all in
their power to make the stay of the guests
of the firemen as pleasant as possible.
Tne Savannah Fire Department has
many friends in Macon and will doubtless
make no small show in the tournament.

The coming season will undoubtedly
be the most interesting in base ball cir
cles that the admirers of the game have
ever known.
There will be six leading professional
base ball associations in the field, five of
which will work in harmony, and will
probably do their utmost to crowd the
sixth out of the arena. The best players
of the country are engaged and in prac
tice, and the season is expected to open
early and stay late.

The license business seems to have
taken root all over the world. In England
a movement has been set on foot to re

The argument used is that a license would
make the hunting fields more select.
The preparations for the Rowell-Fitz

sons, 9 years and 12 years, competed iu
the boys’ race at AVashington park,
Brooklyn, and the elder won second prize,
beaten only by a lad three years his senior.
Miss Maddern closed her engagement
in Savannah last night, before a fair Satur
day night audience. In “ A Puritan
Maid” she is afforded a better opportu
nity for the display of her natural talent
than in “Frou-Frou.” The play is with
out question the best in which she has
ever appeared, and as “Madge,” the
merry, piquant maiden whom the acci
dent of birth placed in the heart of a puri
tanical New England family, she displays
a wonderful ability. At the matinee per
formance “Frou-Frou” was repeated from
Friday night, instead of “A Professional
Beauty.”
From recent English exchanges we
learn that old Joe Spencer, the first man
to challenge Edward Payson AA T eston after
bis arrival in England, and who walked
1,326 miles in twenty-nine days in the
Royal Cremorne Gardens, and also 74
miles 2 laps at the Agricultural Ilall in
thirteen hours and a half, will now take
1,000 to 100 tbat he will walk more miles
than AVeston contemplates of his 5,000
miles in the same time, to be walked at the
following places: London, 1,500; Bir
mingham, 1,000; Manchester, 1.000; Lei
cester, 500; Northampton, 500; Brighton,
500.
The attractions at the theatre during
the present month are unquestionably
the strongest of the season. The book
ing for the rest of the month,
beginning with this week, is
“Bunch of Keys,” 6th and 7th. Scanlan
in “Friend and Foe,” Bth and 9th; Bart
ley Campbell’s “AVhite Slave,” 11th ;Fanny
Davenport in “Fedora,” 14th; “Lights
o’ London,” one week, beginning 18tb;
Baker and Farrow in “A Government
House” and “Chri9 and Lena,” 25th and
26th. AA’ith these well known attractions
Savannah theatre goers should give Man
ager Johnson an ovation.
The McKeesport sculler appears to be
the aquatic huckleberry of 1884, as all the
challenges of the new year have been di
rected in that quarter. First P. H. Con
ley threw down the gauntlet to the pro
tege of Eph Morris, and now it is Albert
Hamm, of Halifax, Conley’s old partner
in double sculls, who seeks a match with
the Pennsylvania oarsman. Conley, as
repeatedly stated, is no longer under the
guidance of the Halifax Rowing Associa
tion, but from a challenge which was re
ceived as an inclosure to a private letter
from the Secretary of the 11. R. A., it
would seen that Hamm is still controlled
by that organization.

Fashion Notes.
India silk will be much worn.
Spring bonnets will be of medium size.
The big bonnet is now a thing of the
past.
The stockings of children now match
the dress.
Gray-brown is a popular shade in the
new spring velvets.
The new market bonnet bids fair to have
a long run of popularity.
Bangs and bangles still hold their own
in the fashionable world.
Characters at masquerade balls have
their names inscribed upon the fan.
Cloth bonnets and toques are now con
sidered more elegant than those of felt.
Silver lace pins are very fashionable
with black dresses, or mixtures of black
and white.
Pink surah studded with tiny bouquets
of roses makes a fresh and inexpensive
pretty evening dress.
Dark colored velvet bodices made low
in the neck and sharply pointed are worn
with light tulle skirts.
The new cashmere hose appear in fine,
dark cloth shades, and also in the mouse
grays and cinnamon-browns.
Dog collars in new designs are now im
ported, made of massive gold, heavily
chased, and set with diamonds, emeralds,
pearls, opals and rubies.
Fine handkerchiefs, very delicately
notched and exquisitely embroidered on
the edge in white or colors, are greatly
preferred to the more showy styles.
The Frou-Frou cloak is anew design
after Sarah Bernhardt. It is cut like the
redingote at the back, with a half-adjusted
front edged with fur down each side.
Peaches and apricots are simulated in
chenille for pendant trimmings, and upon
rich satin and velvet dresses. They are
usetl principally for paniers and shoulder
trimmings.
“Pearl sleeves” are worn with many
handsome evening dresses of white bro
cade or satin. These sleeves are formed
of a close network of pearl beads over
white chenille. They are about four
inches deep, and are edged with a fringe
of pearls which droops over the arm.
Hoop earrings, bangle bracelets and dog
eollar composed of pearls are usually
added.

Cancer for Five Years.
The Interests of humanity seem to de
mand the publication of the following
facts; Two months ago my attention was
called to the case of a poor woman who
was said to be afflicted with a cancer. I
found her with an ulcer on her shoulder
at least five inches in circumference, an
gry, painful, and giving the patient no
rest day or night for six months. I ob
tained a supply of Swift’s Specific, which
1 persuaded her to try. She has taken
five bottles, the result of which is that the
ulcer is entirely healed up, nothing re
maining but a small scab, not larger than
obc’s finger nail, and her general health
is better than for five years past. She
seems to be perfectly cured. I consider
it# effects wonderful—almost miraculous.

NOT UNTIL NEXT TIME.
“I dreamed that we were lover t
As tender as we used to be,
When I brought you the daffodil, *
And you looked up and smiled at me.”
“True sweethearts were we then indeed,
When youth was budding into bloom;
But now the flowers are gone to seed.
And breezes have left no perfume.”
“Because you ever, ever will
Take such a crooked view of things,
Distorting this and that until
Confusion ends in cavilings.”
“Because you never, never will
Perceive the force of what I say;
As if I always reasoned ill—
Enough to take one’s breath away!”
“But what, if riper love replace
The vision that enchanted me,
When all you did was perfect grace,
And all you said was melody?”
“And what, if loyal heart renew
The image, never quite foregone,
Combining, as of yore, in you
A Samson and a Solomon?”
“Then to the breezes will I toss
The straws we split, with temper’s loss.
The peace upon your lips anew
The peace that gentle hearts ensue.”
“Oh, welcome then, ye playful ways,
And sunshine of the early days,
And banish to the olouds above
Dull reason, that bedarkens love!”
—Blackwood's Magazine.
Outwitting a “Masher.”
Detroit Times.
She was a handsome young woman.
Thi* was remarked by a dozen different
people as she entered the Union depot.
She was going East by the Canada South
ern. This was remarked by a conceited
young snip of a fellow, who looked
“masher” from the crow n of his hat to
the heels of his gaiters. She had no soon
er purchased her ticket and taken her
seat than he began to circle around. She
saw him and read his character, and,
beckoning him to approach, she asked:
“Are you going to Buffalo?” “Yes—ah—
certainly.” “I am glad to hear it. Will
you do me a favor?” “With all my heart.
Command me.” “I’m afraid my trunk
was left at the hotel. Could I ask you to
run up and see about ' it!”
“Of course—certainly—only too
happy 1” It was twenty minutes to train
time. He was back in sixteen, his face
flushed, his ears red and his breathing
spasmodic. He had done some tall run
ning. The trunk was not there. “Oh,
dear, but would you be so kind as to look
into the baggage room?” He would. He
did. He ended a score of trunks around,
made a dozen inquiries for a Saratoga
with an “E.” on the ends, and finally re
turned to the eating room to say—but
she wasn’t there! The train was also
gone! A man who had a sore throat, and
felt mad at the whole world, informed
him that he had no sooner started for the
baggage room than she picked up her ret
icule and boarded the train, her face
wearing a happy smile, and her rosebud
mouth gently puckered up as she hummed :
“The chap I left behind me!”

A Dog at a Telephone.
Beading Times.
A dog at the telephone received and
sent a communication satisfactorily a few
days ago. A gentleman who possesses a
remarkably intelligent dog, between
which and himself exists strong affection,
recently lost the animal in the efty
streets. Jack was happily tound by a
friend of his owner, who recognized him
immediately, and at once called up his
friend by telephone. “Have you lost your
dog?” “Yes. Have you seen
him?” was the reply. “Suppose
you call him through the tele
phone. The dog was lifted up and the
ear-piece placed at his ear. “Jack!
Jack!” called the master. Jack instantly
recognized the voice and began to yelp.
He licked the telephone fondly, seeming
to think his master was inside the ma
chine. At the other end of the line the
gentleman recognized the familiar bark,
and shortly afterwards he reached his
friend’s office to reclaim his property.

Advice to Mothers.
Mrs. Winslow’s Soothing Syrup
should always be 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 best known remedy
lir diarrhoea, whether arising from teeth
