To the Casual observer it would seem that the night drivers get a good many naps while the car tinges are standing outside of the restaurants lad all-night saloons. There are not Inauy of these in the city, and perhaps that Is the reason why carriages are generally Waiting in front.

Newspaper men more than any other have cause to think that sleeping and working hours are a matter of general in terest. The reason they think so is because they are asked so frequently. “How late do you work at night, and when do you sleep?” 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 hour.

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 stands unsteadily against a telegraph pole, and with a breath smelling strongly of beer solicits a few pennies to assist, him in obtain ing a bed. Now and then one of his ilkis en countered in a locality where tho reputable citizen would like it better if the hour which the clock in the Exchange tower marks was p. m. instead of a. m. 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.

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. THE OLIVETTE'S TRIAL TRIP. The New Plant Steamship Makes a Run Down Delaware Bay. The new Plant steamship Olivette, just built for the Tampu and Havana service, left Cramp s shipyards at Philadelphia on Thursday, and made her trial trip down Delaware bay. Tlie Olivette is capable of making 111 knots an hour —a rate of speed that surpasses that of any Atlantic coastwise vessel. Her jias sengers on tile trial trip were B. H. Ballot, George W.

McArthur Pitches a Miserable Game and Gives Twelve Men Eases on Balls-Ead Playing all Around- 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 Memphis 17, Savannah 3. Charleston it, Nashville 8. 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 J and Savannah scor ed 2. From the •p second to the 'V. eighth inning the Memphians made 17 •yxSSj runs, while Savan ' ? ah made but 1- Y, , do Arthur pitched TV , miserable game. 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: SAVANNAH.

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.

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 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.

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. Active, Pushing and Reliable.

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.)
