REPUBLICANS OX THE WAR I’ATH.
The First Militia District Bally at Chat
ham Hall —An Anti-Custom Hou*e le
-m on-t rat ion—Disaffection in tne Ee
publican Kank*.
Chatham Hall was tne scene of a lively
Republican demonstration last night. Y es
ter jay a printed call for a special district
meeting of the members of the First Dis
trict G. M. was circulated among the fob
lowers of too Republican camp,
notifying them to meet at
Chatham Hall a* 8 o’clock. when
business ot great importance wouid be
considered. 'The call was signed by
Joseph Williams. Chairman of the dis
trict. and Joseph Hamilton, secretary.
The character of the meeting was not
stated, and to anvone unfamiliar with the
names of the signers and unacquainted
with the fact that it was intended as a
call for a Republican political meeting,
it conveved no hint whether it was to be
political or religious. Republican or Ikj-xo-
eratie.
At eight o’clock a Mormxg News re
[■orte- found a dozen or more colored men
scattered about on Bolton street in the
vieinitv of the hall, leaning against the
feri apparently waiting for something
"- - fieVxjv to turn up. Climbing the
dimiv lighted stairway about fifty more,
wit a half a dozen prominent
white Republicans, among whom
vv re Col. A. N. Wilson, of the Revenue
• ;rli .and Col. E. O. Wade. Deputy United
states Marshal, were gathered in knots
net'y discussing the issues of the occa
sion. It was evident the masses had not
arriv' and. The News man inquired w hat
was the object of the meeting, and was
told by one of the leaders that it was a
rallv, but nothing more could
be ' '.earned until the * hairrnan
whacke-l bis hickory over the table and
called the "members” to order. A few
minutes later Waring Russell, Esq., ap
peared on the scene. It was apparent at
a glance that it was to be an anti-custom
bo'us- meeting. Cols. Wilson and Wade
and the heavy men of the district took a
position at the bead of the ball by the
S Chairman’s table, where the News man
i was also invited to a seat.
The custom house faction ranged
itsell on one side of the hall on a bench
opposite to the masses, who were gath
ered on the other side. The crowd had
increased until there were probably two
hundred in the room, when the meeting
was called to order. The Chair
man called upon the Rev.
C, L. D* l.amotta to invoke divine
blessing upon the meeting, and
those who iiad assembled in support of
"the great principles of the party.” He
then appointed three lusty, able-bodied
-,,. r geaiit-eat-Anns to preserve order, and
stationed them, one at the entrance to the
hall and the otte r two in opposite corners,
with the charge to “pick no row” with
anv body, but if any disorder should occur
to “gently take the man home without
any muss.”
There were no indications of a disturb
ance, but the move was deemed advisable
as a precautionary measure. He then
stated that the meeting had been called
by his order for the transaction of certain
important business, and after it bad been
considered he wouid call upon the speak
ers. who were expected to he present, to
discuss tiie issues of the day.
The first business taken up was the aj>-
pointment of a District Executive Com
mittee of seven members and a rallying
committee of fifteen members, which was
accomplished after considerable discus
sion and interruption by the minority
faction.
The Chairman then stated that further
i than the appointment of the committees,
tie principal object of tne meeting was to
impress upon the colored people the
necessity for registration in order that
th'-v might exercise their franchise as
voters. Ho called upon Col. A. N.
Wilson to address the meeting. Col.
Wilson arose and took off his overcoat,
! but before he had time to address the
chair, the reverend brother present
[ jumped up, and with an apology for his
! interruption, proceeded to introduce the
| speaker as’ a leader of the
| Republican party and a staunch member
| of the true faction. Col. Wilson wasthen
aliow-d to proceed, and talked for half an
hour on what he had done for tiie Repub
licans of Georgia, and how no effort of the
party had every succeeded in Chatham
eon n’t v or the First Congressional district
except he had planned it and had been its
mainspring.
After Col. Wilson had taken his seat
there was a chorus of calls for Cyrus L.
Brtiwn, and Brown modestly appeared on
the lloor. After a laudatory allusion to
the sneaker who had preceded him, he
let himself into the subject, and dug up
the facts at the bottom of the issue in
true campaign style.
At the conclusion of the speech other
speakers followed, holding up the princi
ples or the party, and urging on its repre
sentatives to capt ure the field and hold it.
THE 11l KULAK’S ENEMY.
How the Burglar Alarm Telegraph and
its Police Worry the House-breaker*.
The sharp ring of a bell attracted the
attention of a News reporter, as he
was passing out Whitaker street in front
of the office of the Burglar Alarm and
District Telegraph Company last night.
Mounting the stairs and entering the
company’s central office, Superin
tendent Charles White was found
busy at work connecting and
adjusting the wires of a complicated
apparatus that looked like a wall of boxes
in the post office. Stepping from behind
a network of wires the courteous Superin
tendent met the reporter, advancing
with an anxious anything-new look
on his face, and informed him
that everything was all right. There was
noliody being murdered and nothing at
all was the matter. He was simply ad
justing the boxes and an accidental con
nection of the wires had caused an alarm.
Spoiled of an item, the News man sat
down and Mr. White explained the work
ings of the two elec-trie alarm systems in
operation by the company—the single wire
and the circuit system.
"We are now nineteen months old,” said
Mr.Wliite. "Thecompany wasicorporgtcd
in April. 18*2. and on the 14th of August
the system was placed in operation. We
were then in the Lyons building, further
out til'* street.”
“How many alarm stations are there in
operation ?”
••in both systems there are 72—142 on
single wires and 10 in the circuit.”
“Which is the better system, if there is
any difference?’’
“The circuit system is the most reliable
by far and is the one most adopted.”
Utlic Superintendent’ then proceeded to
explain its workings, which, to the mind
of the scribe, uneducated in complicated
electrical apparula, was a difficult thing
to understand.
In addition to the protection afforded
the* subscribers to the 'company by
the alarm system the premises upon
w hich the stations are located are pa
trolled every hour in the night by the
company’s police. The patrolmen report
for duty at 0 o’clock p. m. and begin their
rounds at * o’clock, remaining on duty
until 0 in tiie morning, when they are re
lieved. The company lias grown consid
erably since it was organized, and
the subscribers increased so that
last year a change was necessary,
in its headquarters, and the commodious
and thoroughly appointed central office is
now located at No. 12 Whitaker street.
The system has proved a success and
through it hundreds of thousands of dol
lars worth of property are protected~from
the interference of the enterprising
burglar, who has operated extensively in
Southern cities during the past two years.

AMONG THE MARKET GARDENERS.
Crop Prospect* Around Savannah—The
Cabbage Crop a Failure and the Pea
Crop Left* than a Quarter —Indication*
for the Strawberry Yield.
The result of the damage to the market
gardens and truck farms by the hard
frosts of January will be. so far as can be
learned, an almost total failure ol the
cabbage crop and a great ioss in the pea
crop. •
A Morning News reporter made in
quire among the gardeners and produce
d-alers vesterday. and found that while a
•tiifSt crop of cabbages and peas is ex
pected. a large crop of other produce is
looked for.
In reply to an inquiry as to the extent
of the cabbage crop, a well known gar
dener said:
“it w ill virtually be nothing. Where
100 acres have been planted and grown •
In former ve&rs, there are not 25 acres
this year. Outside of Mr. Schley, who
has about nine acres ol plants and ex
pects to have aliout 65,000 cabbages, and
Major Kyals. who has about six acres
and will have at least 50,000 cabbages,
there are probably not twenty acres In
the whole county. In fact, there are none
in the state, and Florida and Alabama
are about as bad off.”
“What will the crop be compared with
last year ?” •
"It will not bo more than one-eighth as
large.”
-I* there any danger from Irosts at this
season ?”
“There Lave been, in some years frosts |
later than now which have destroyed ;
everytning. I remember a few years ago j
a frost on the 18th of April w hich killed
almost the-entire vegetable crop."
“What is the prospect for the i>ea
crop?”
“Very poor. The vines were used up
by the January frosts, and the crop w ill
not be more than one-fourth of what was
expected.”
“How about other vegetables?”
“There will be a goal crop ol potatoes
if nothing happens. Some of the early
vines were cut, but not to any extent.
The bean crop, from the present prospects,
will be heavier than last year, most of the
seed is planted and the farmers are pre
paring for a heavy crop to offset the light
crop of peas. The tomatoes, while not
extensively grown, promises a good yield.
Melons are leing planted, but, of course,
that crop amounts to little anyway in this
section.”
‘•What is the prospect for the straw
berrv yield ?”
“The fruit is a little later than last year,
but the yield promises to be heavy. The
first berries were placed on the market
last year on the loth of March, and this
vear on the 1.5 th —live days later. Ibe
frost had no effect on the vines and the
flelds-are looking line.”

The Buena Vista Enterprise says: “The

neighborhood of SII,OOO— making a total
0f537,000 or s4o.ooofor the whole business.
A few changes have been made in the no

ular employes of the new road were re
tained. Only those who had been engaged
in work construction bad been relieved.

adopted: President Raoul, of the Georgia
Central, submitted a written proposal to
take the first mortgage bonds and for
them complete the road, including equip

and the road will be completed at an
early day. The grading is almost com

to work building trestles and bridges and
laying the iron this spring.”

Dkah Si it —1 have your letter of the
Gill. I remember the interview with Mr.
Bloomfield at Athens. There was no promise
Hindi* further than that we would make the
same rate from Jug Tavern to Athens as from
Jug Tavern to Social Circle, if the road was
built rrom Athens to Jefferson instead of Jug
Tavern. I do not remember to have made
any promise for aiding the railroad on any
other occasion. I do not think it would be
desirable for us to have an interest in the
road they propose to build, but in tiie present
depressed condition of railroad property in
Georgia, and in the present shortage of tiie
Georgia Railroad itself, t do not favor such a
project at this time. 1 would defer it. and
think it more prudent until tilings look bet
ter. When we get through with what we
have undertaken I shall never advocate the
expenditure of any more money in Georgia
until we have some assurances as to how the
law will deal with us. Respectfully yours,

MODJESKA S STORY.
A Young Girl Who Wanted to be an
Actress.
Traveling s’ar actors and actresses, sat s
the New York Times, meet with amusing
episodes here and there through the coun
try. All sorts of people insist upon know
ing them, under every pretext, and it
seems to be the general impression that
actors and actresses were made to told a
position of serene and patient servitude
toward those who may choose to call upen
them at any time. Mne. Modjeska was
relating, tbc other night, to a select circle
of acquaintances, ah experience which
befell her early in the season in a distant
Western town. One afternoon she re
ceived a summons to attend upon two
lady callers in the reception room, and,
as the summons was couched in rather
imperative terms. Mine. Modjeska went
down. There was one elderly female and
one youngish girl. The eldest was tall
and ’stout, and obviously the mother ot
her companion, who struck Mme. Mod
jeska as a chronic invalid. The corner,
sation. as deliciously mimicked by the
actress, was as follows:
‘•Are you Modjesky?”
I “Y'es.”
‘•The play actress? Well, my daughter,
here, w ants to go on the stage.”
I ‘‘lndeed? What are her acquire
ments?”
“Eh? Well, ma’am, you’ll have to
speak a little louder than that, because,
you see, my daughter is rather hard oi
hearing.”
Mme.. Modjeska spoke louder. The
young lady answered rather thickly and
with difficulty.
“Has she ever acted?” asked Ylodjeska.
“No.” responded the woman. “I can’t
say as she has ever acted, but we’ve tried
her at pretty much everything else anil
couldn’t do’ nothing with her, so we
thought she might do for the stage.”
“Ob,” said Modjeska.
“Yes,” smiled the woman.
“She seems ill,” said Modjeska. “What
is the matter with her?”
“Nothing only epilepsy, ma’am. She has
that now and then, but it ain’t a very bad
case.”
Mme. Modjeska gasped slightly. Then
she rose with dignity and said something
about the stage being neither a hospital
nor a refuge for people who were good for
nothing at anything else. And having
thus delivered herself she departed,leaving
the maternal caller in great indignation
as to “stuck up folks.”
MAKING PUTTY'.
Tbe Process by Machinery Described
by a Painter who Makes it by Hand.
One stormy day last week an old man
in an uptown paint shop sat by a window,
says the New York Sun, with a large
piece of plate glass before him, kneading
on the glass a baton of w hat seemed to be
dough for black bread,
“It’s putty,” he explained. “I make it
myself. It’s mighty hard to get genuine
linseed putty in the stores.”
j "What do you make it of?”
| “Haw linseed oil and whiting. Whiting,
j you know, is simply ground chalk, ground
j in a mill like flour. It comes out with a
j line flint grit in it. Before making putty
: of it a few old-fashioned men who believe
j in making the best of everything wash the
grit out. The fine flour is then dried. If
it isn’t dried perfectly it takes up more
oil than is desirable or profitable, From
500 to 000 pounds—about 15 per cent, by
weight of raw oil to 85 per cent, of
whiting—are put in a chaser, and thor
oughly mixed ”
"What’s a chaser?”
“It’s an annular trough, ten feet in
diameter. From a vertical shaft in the
centre two arms extend, on the end of
which are heavy iron wheels that rest in
the trough. When the shaft revolves the
wheels chase each other around the
trough. When mixed it is packed iu blad
ders lor convenience in handling.”
“How is the>tuff adulterated?”
“Marble dust is mixed with whiting. It
costs about a quarter of a cent a pound,
and w hiting costs twice that. Paraffine
oils, at from 20 to 30 cents a gallon, are
used instead ot linseed oil, at 60 cents.
The marble dust makes the putty gritty,
and the cheap oil makes it sticky. Cheap
putty is decidedly cheap. I wouldn’t use
it even on a government job.”
“What is the market price of putty?”
“Putty in bulk, wholesale, is worth
$2 12 a hundred pounds. The other win
dow Mass cements run from $1 4o to $1 75.
They are dear at that, 1 think. They take
longer to put on and longer to dry.”’
"Is putty imported?”
“No. Neither is it exported. A lot was
brought over a long time ago. but that
was when oil was very high. The whit
ing comes from England.”
Xo Grease for Him.
“When Greece her knees—Greece her
knees—Greece her knees,” stammered an
embarrassed schoolboy, forgetting the
flextlineof his recitation. “There is no
occasion to grease anybody’s knees,”
shouted his teacher. “Go and study your
piece.” Neither is there occasion to
grease your hair. Parker’s Hair Balsam
is all the dressing you want. Restores
the original gloss and color to gray or
faded hair. Does not soil the linen; not
a dye; good Tor the scalp; prevents fa.ll
ing’out.
