if any one of a score of other things bap

REPORTERS’ HOURS.
It is questionable if. as a rule, the answers
are not vague. Possibly this is because tho
reporters and editors are governed to a
greater or less extent iu this respect by
events of the moment. If every person
who is concerned in making the history of
each day would complete his share by night
fall, local matter, telegraph and editorial
comment would all bemn’at a reasonable

THE BURGLAR ALARM POLICE.
Then there are burglar alarm men, bank
and other private watchmen, hotel clerks,
tell boys, electric light and gas men, train
dispatchers and train hands and bakers—
enough, if all were put together, to form a
good sized regiment. And there are a few
other characters who may bo met on the
streets at all hours of the night. One type

AT THEIR FINAL REST.
The Remains of Young Pratt Buried in
Laurel Grove The Coroner’s Inquest.
The body of George Pratt, the young
Englishman who was drowned four w eeks
ago in Ossabuw sound, was buried yesterday
afternoon in the stranger's lot at Laurel
Grove.
Coroner Dixon went down to Montgomery
In the morning and held an inquest over the
reinains. The only witnesses were the young
man, Arthur Toole, and .foe Harris, a col
ored boy, who left Montgomery with Pratt
the day he was drowned. They were in a
row boat and Pratt, was in a bateau.
The two boats drifted apart and lost sight
of each other. When Toole and the colored
boy reached the landing at (Issabnw Island
Pratt, was t.iiree miles out in the sound sail
ing first in one direction and then another,
apparently not knowing how to handle his
lioat.
All at once a blow come up and sweeping
over the sound shut, out the bateau front
sight. As the squall struck the boat cap
sized, aud when the rescuing party went out
it was floating bottom up. Pratt’s overcoat
was found a few yards away.
Tim yacht Luriina cruised for the body
nearly a week. The beach was patroled
and the inlets were searched, but not until
Friday afternoon was the body found. It
bad drifted up the Ogeeehee river and was
recovered six miles from where the bateau
capsized.
The fisherman who found the body identi
fied it by the clothing. Nothing else was
recognizable. A pocket handkerchief
with the letter “P” embroidered in
one corner and the letters “G. P.” on a pair
of gold sleeve buttons revealed its identity
beyond a doubt. The body was lashed to a
piank and brought to Montgomery by Mr.
8. A. Ivelsall. There was no doubt in the
jury’s mind, after having heard the evidence,
that the young man did not knowhow to
handle the bateau and that his drowning
was accidental, and a verdict was rendered
in accordance with the facts.
The remains were brought to the city at 3
o’clock, and the funeral took place from the
Anderson street depot. The services at the
grave were conducted by Rev. Thomas
Boone, rector of Christ church.

WORDS FOR THE YOUNG.
Sam Small’s Advice to Children and
Young People.
The children’s meeting at Trinity Metho
dist Church was not largely attended yester
day afternoon, although there was a fair
sized audience present.
After a song or two, led by Prof. M. J.
Maxwell, Rev. T. T. Christiaa-gave a short,
exhortal ion to the young. 1 W was followed
by Rev Bam Small, whose text was “For
the promise is unto you find your
children.” That promise is authoritative,
Mr. Small remarked. God had given
promisre at different times through the
prophets, but some t imes the people doubted
Just its now men will say, “Oh, that inter
state commerce law is unconstitutional, and
is absurd.” God wrote the law with his
finger on the tablets of stone, and there is
not a living creature who wants to know
the ten commandments who oaunot have
them.
The command was given, “Thou shalt
teach them diligently in thy house.” “But
how few iteople do teach their children the
commandments,” Mr. Small cont inued, and
he added, “We are too continually setting
up our personal authority instead of God’s.
A father will say, ‘lf you don’t do so and so
I will thrash vou.’ He had better take the
Bible and set its teachings up as law for his
children instead of the big eye.
“A great many people say that, they do not
Itelieve there is any authority in the Bible for
family prayer, and that it is only a sort of
regulator adoped by the churches. That
is all a mistake,” said the speaker, “for man
is t old to praise God when he lieth down and
when he riseth up. Home instruction in the
scriptures has a wonderful influence upon
the life, of the children growing up.”
Alluding to his own case, Mr. Small stated
that he Ixjieved it was Hits mother’s instruc
tion in his early life which eventually re
formed him There is nothing so valuable
that n family loses as family devotion when
a family does not hold it, he observed. The
last, part of his address was an appeal to
those present to study and obey the Bible.
LITTLE ONES MADE HAPPY.
Easter Festival at the Episcopal Or
phans' Home.
Tt has long been a custom with the Board
of Managers of the Episcopal Orphans’
Home to give the children an Easter festival
during the week following Easter day. This
year the festival was postponed until Satur
day. and yesterday afternoon a liumtier of
the ladies of the board, other friends of the
institution, and several children, went out to
Isle of Hope to the temporary Home.
The children sang two or three hymns and
then a song, Deaconess Hansford presiding
at the organ. Refreshments were then an
nounced. The children formed in line, and,
led by “Sister Charlotte,” as their matron is
familiarly called, marched to the dining
room, singing as they went. “Praise God
from whom all blessings flow” was sung by
the children for a “grace,” anti then they
proceeded to enjoy the plentiful supply of
cake, ice cream, fruits and candy with
which the table was loaded. Everywhere
were beautiful flowers tastefully arranged.
There were wreaths in the dining room and
moss festooned from txist to post of the
porch. The word “Welcome” was over the
door.
After the refreshments had been partaken
of the children enjoyed themselves in games
and in dancing the old English dance, “Sir
Roger de Loverly,” 1-earing a strong re
semblance in the eyes of the uninitiated to
the “Virginia reel.” Everything passed off
very happily, and the grown people its well
as " the children enjoyed the simple but
pleasant festival.
All the members of the Board of Mana
gers, with the exception of Miss Screven and
Mrs. A. R. Lawton, ,Tr., w ere present. Mrs.
D. B. Hull, one of the board, whose name
wtvs omitted by accident from the report
published in the Morning News on Friday,
was present. Several prominent families
residing at Isle of Hope were represented.
Rev. Thomas Boone, who was expected to
be present, was detained in town by duties,
and regretted much that he could not at
tend.
VISITED BY MANY PEOPLE.
The Attendance at the Y. M. C. A.
Rooms During March.
The attendance at the Young Men's Chris
tian Association rooms during March was
larger than that of any preceding month
since the association was organized. Two
thousand sis hundred and four persons vis
ited and had the privileges of the reading
i-oom, parlor and gymnasium. The total
attendance at the gospel services and Bible
classes was 821. The attenilance at the daily
Bible class, which meets every morning from
8:15 to 8:45, is not large, but those able to
be present are much interested in and
greatly benefited by the course of daily read
ings. The notes used by the class are those
prepared by the evangelist, D. W. Whittle,
who also had the use of Mr. Moody’s marked
Bible in preparing them.
The training class —study of the Bible by
books and divisions, and dealing with special
subjects—meets every Tuesday evening.
The gospel service for men, to he held in
the gymnasium hall this afternoon, will lie
conducted by Mr. H. D. Phillips. Hearty
singing and short talks are features of these
services, speakers following the leader being
limited to three minutes.
All young men are cordially invited tt> at
tend both classes and services.

McArthur Pitches a Miserable Game

Charleston Lays Out Nashville-
New Orleans to Play To-Day.
.. HE winners of yesterday’s
f Southern League games
were Memphisand Charles
ton. The opening game
at Now Orleans will be
played to-day. Tho result
in Memphis was what
everybody expected. In
the home club’s present
crippled condition the
game could not very well have turned
out any other way than it did.
Memphis is without doubt the
strongest team in the league, and
it was not expected that Savannah
would make very much of a showing. The
result at Nashville was something of a sur
prise. The Tennesseans have been “laying
for” Charleston and were confident, o! an
easy victory, but they “counted their chick
ens before they were hatched.” It was a
close rub though, and neither side had a run
to lose New Orleans was counted on as a
sure winner front Mobile. The scores of the
first day’s games were

watching the blackboard.
There were not over “00 people at the
Theatre to witness the telegraph report of
the games, and these had to wait from 3:80
until nearly 5 o’clock before the wires could
be got in working order and the reports be
gan to come in. The heavy storm which
swept across Tennessee, between Chattanoo
ga and Nashville, broke down the telegraph
lines, and for several hours, it was difficult
to get any communication with points west
of Chattanooga. When the reports were re
ceived they were so disconnected that it was
impossible to tell what the club was doing
except b’v the score at. the end of each in
ning. At the close of the seventh inning the
reports stopped altogether.
There was very little betting on the Mem
phis game, and what liets t here were up were
obtained by giving heavy odds on Savannah.
Nashville was backed to win but didn't, and
the club’s backers felt like kicking themselves
and “Billy” Tayor, whose pitching they
said won the game for the Carolinians.
Not enough is known here yet about the
New Orleans and Mobile teams to excite
much interest in the result, except iu a gen
eral way.
The Way the Game Was Played.
Memphis, April Id—A large crowd wit
nessed the opening game of the Southern
League here between Memphis and Savan
nah. Both teams seemed to be in splendid
trim and the weather was all that oould lie
desired. The c,rno was called at 3:30
o’clock by Umpire
tSuek, with Memphis
at the bat. In the
, first inning Memphis
failed to make a run

the pitcher. giving Memphis 12
bases on balls. Base stealing was greatly in
dulged in by the home team which,
of course, swelled the set ire to what it is. The
Savannah second base and short stop did
some of the most wretched playing that was
over seen on the Memphis diamond. The
only features of the game that are worth
noticing were the brilliant playing of Phe
lan and Black for Memphis, and a difficult
running catch by Pdt.z. In two instances
when all the bases were filled Phela n made
a two-bagger, scoring two runs each time.
Black made two very difficult running
catches. The following is the official score:

A Now- Orleans bookmaker has made the
following bookings on the result of the
Southern League championship season: 2 to
1 Memphis, 8 to 1 New- Orleans, 3 to 1 Nash
ville, 10 to 1 Mobile, 2 to 1 Charleston, 10 to
1 Savannah. Ah! there.
The Savannahs’ new uniforms have ar
rived, but will not lie worn until the club re
turns from its first-tour. They are similar
to last year’s Detroit uniform —white shirts
and caps, with blue pants and maroon stock
ings and trimmings. It is probably the
handsomest uniform in the league.
Tho clubs of the Southern league will
wind up the season in the following order,
according to President. Morrow : Nashville,
New Orleans, Memphis, Charleston, Savan
nah and Mobile. The Charleston Vries rind
Conner remarks that, the prophetic Presi
dent must have allowed his wishes to run
away with his judgment. It does look that
way.
The management of the Washington club
has issued season tickets to the President,
members of his Cabinet and many of the
prominent bureau officers. Private Secre
tary Lamont has not been overlooked in the
distribution, and as he is an admirer of the
national game, he may induce the President
to visit the National Park occasionally, even
if the latter has to eat a cold dinner after
the game.
Sporting Miscellany.
The London Sporting Life of April 2
says that the Dauntless cruises to the Azores
after a trip to Norway.
Thore is now every reason to believe that
the Mayflower will not go to England to
compete with the Arrow for the Tankerville-
Chainberlayue cup.
The first fatal prize fight in this country
since Jimmy Weedotn beat Walker to deat h
down in Jersey, took place last week in
Napa, Cal. The combatants were Elijah
Walters and Tom Wagner. In the first
round Walters received a blow on the head
and fell unconscious. He remained in that
state all night and died the uext, morning.
Thod same day two men were killed steeple
chasing in France by being thrown from
their horses.
A billiard ball is the latest English varia
tion of a dance. The ladies wear either
black, white or red, and the seats next the
wall are cushioned with green, which makes
a good background for them. The floor is
marked out with chalk lines and spots; the
pockets are nooks big enough to hold two
chairs. All possible punning allusions to
the game are made in costume and decora
tions, and an ingenious hast can really- en
tertain his guests by his cleverness. The
Royal Corintnian Yacht Club has the credit
of planning the device.
THE MAY FLOWER SHOW.
The Exhibition to be Held in the Chat
ham Artillery Armory.
The spring exhibition of the Savannah
Floral and Art Association will open on
May 4 at the Chatham Artillery’s armory
and will close on May 6, lasting three days.
Competition is ojjen to every one, whether
members of the association or not. The en
tries are now in progress at J. Gardner's,
No. IJO 1-2 Bull street. The prizes have al
ready been announced in the Morning
News and by circular sent out by the asso
ciation.
The art exhibition will Ire held in the ar
mory building. The large yards west of the
armory will be covered with canvas and
arranged for the exhibition of fruits ami
flowers. Mr. Gardner, who has charge of
the entries, is anxious that exhibitors in
tending to enter either flowers or works of
art for competition vrtil do so at once, so that
the committee will have time to arrange
space for- their proper display. After the
articles are once arrayed they will be under
the exclusive charge of the Fair Committee.
All fruits, flowers and vegetables offered for
prizes must have their names annexed,
legibly and correctlv written, and must
have been grown by the competitors. Speci
mens offered for exhibition by others than
the growers must in ail cases have the
names of the growers affixed if known.
The officers of the ass>ciation say that the
outlook for the xhibition.is that it will ex
cis'd anything of the kind that has ever been
held in Savannah.
Happenings in Charleston.
Charleston has organized a fruit canning
company and a factory is to be built at
once. The corporators of the company are
A. F. C. Cramer, John Boyd and F. Mueueb,
of Charleston, and J. 11. Pat.jens, Hawkins
K. Jenkins and Albert Hudson, of Mount
Pleasant. The charter lias not yet been re
ceived, but over four-fifths of the capital
stock lets already been subscrib'd on the
prospectus circulated by the promoters of
the scheme. One of tho three richest men
in Charleston says ho w ill take all the stock
allowed by the constitution and by-laws to
a single holder. The present intention is to
limit a single holder to fifty shares. Savon
nah has every opportunity and advantage
for a canning factory that Charleston lias.
The only thing lacking is enterprise on the
part of those interested to go ahead and
form a company.
Fighting an Assignment.
The petition of Bcrnheim, Bauer & Cos.
and others for hii injunction against Max
Birnbaum was taken up before Judge Speer
yesterday. The orators charged that Birn
baum’s assignment was intended to defraud
them. They declared that the names of
some of Birnbuum’s creditors do not appear
in the list which he made out, and that the
preferment of certain Savannah creditors
was a fraudulent transaction. The respond
ent denies all of the charges made bv the
petitioners. The ease was not concluded
and wits continued until to-morrow.
Ready to Receive Returns.
(’apt. John ft. Dillon, Receiver of Tax
Returns, announces that his office is now
Ojtcn for returns of all real ami personal
property, polls and profession* for ISdi. He
will visit, as usual, the offices and work
shotis of tlie railroads for the convenience of
officers and employes.

WEDDED AT GRIFFIN.
Mr. Cary B. Townsend Leads Miss
Clifford Moss to tho Altar.
Mr. Cary B. Townsend, who is well
known in Savannah, was married on Thurs
day, at Griffin, to Miss (iifford Moss, of that
place. Tlie wedding took place at the resi
dence of Mr. H. R. Rcmshart, the ceremony
being performed by Rev. G. R. McCall. The
bride was attired in a blue satin merveilleux
with trimming of cream plush and pointed
lace and diamonds. A Griffin dis
patch says both the bride and
groom looked radiantly happy as they stood
under an arch from which the monogram
“M. T.” was suspended, while the minister
united their destinies. After the marriage
a most elegant collation was served to tlie
invited guests, and at 8:33 tho bridal party
left for Macon, accompanied by the best
wishes of a host of friends.
Mr. Townsend is the Secretary of the Na
val Stores Manufacturers’ Association, and
is connected with the Standard Oil (!om
pany. He was for some time connected
with Mi-. W. C. Jackson’s house here, and
has a wide circle of acquaintance in Savan
nah.

Yellowstone Kit's Liberality and Char
ity.
Yellowstone" Kit, who is now the chief at
traction in Albany, is a remarkable man in
more respects than oue. That he is a chari
table, libej-al and open-hearted man is clear
ly proven by his deeds and the gifts that he
bestows upon needy subjects and charitable
institutions every dav of his life. He gives,
and he gives liberally, to worthy objects.
On Thursday a prominent citizen of Worth
county was lit tho city with a subscription
list asking for contributions to aid in build
ing a church at Sumner. The amounts set
opposite the names on the list ranged from
35 cents to 81. The man, hearing of Kit s
liberality, lumded his subscription list up to
him. Kit looked at it a moment, saw that
it was a qhuroh subscription, and handed the
man a tcii-doUar bill. The gentleman from
Worth was highly pleased with the subscrip
tion from the strange “Medicine Man.”
which was much more liberal than he had
expected. He then said to Kit : “What is
your name? I want to put it down here,”
pointing to the list. “Never mind about
that,” replied Kit, with a wave of thfc band.
*'l have no name when it comes to contrib
uting to the cause of Christianity or chari
ty.” Again, on yesterday. Kit gave five
dollars to an unfortunate colored man who
had lost his cabin by fire. And so we might
goon and mention several other instances
m which this stranger, who has created such
a sensation in the city, has show n himself to
he a man of unostentatious charity and lib
erality. There can be no doubt of the fact
that he is making money every day, for he
sells large quantities of his medicines and
treats many patients: but it is hut fair to
say that he is charitable, and is liberal with
his money among the poor and needy wher
ever he goes. —Albany (Ga.) Xews and Ad
vertiser, Dec. 11.
