Tfce Monilng News for the Summer. Persons leaving tbe city for the summer can hare the Moksing News forwarded by the earliest fast mails to any addross at tho rate of 25 cents a week, il for a month or |2 SO for three months, cash invariably in advance. The address may be changed as Often as deseed. In. directing a change cart should be taken to mention the old as ■well as the new address. Those who desire to have their home paper promptly delivered to them while away, should leave their subscriptions at the Bcsixess Office. Invitations to tho Bullivar-Kflrain fight have been sent to people distinguished in art, literature and statecraft in this and other countries. Probably since Boston set the seal of approval upon it, prize fighting has become an art in *hich people of culture may take a deep interest A. Lowden Snowden, who was given a foreign appointment the other day, Bhould not lie confused with the protectionist dem ocrat, W. H. Sowden, of Pennsylvania. Hr. Bowden is out of a job iu the po itioal field just now, and the President hasn’t concluded to provide him with one, so far as is known. The Georgia legislature will convene to day. It contai is a number of most excel lent members, and, altogether, it showed at tbe regular session that it was a sensible body of men. Let it attend strictly to business, and adjourn at the earliest possi ble date, aid the favoraole opinion of it Which has been created will be strengthened. While ex-Minister Bragg was in Mexico bis dues, as ame nber of a Grand Army post, were not paid, and now an a tempt is being made to have him kick and out of the organization. Oon. Bragg is a democrat, and it is said that the men who are trying to have him kicked out are republica i officeholders. Gen. Bragg ought to pay his duos and then kick the kickers. Fayetteville, N. C., Is going to have a centennial celebration next November, and Senator Matt Ransom will deliver the ora tion. Mr. Jefferson Davis has consented to be present, but he won’t make a speech— that is, if he can avoid doing so. He may find it impossible to overcome the desire to say a few words to people who are certain to show him every mark of respect. That’s the way it was when he was in Georgia a few years ago. Mr. J. Scott Harrison, the President’s democratic brother, refuses to indorse ap plications of republicans for office. Ho say he would like to see the offices filled by democrats, and that he doesn’t intend to help get republicans in. One of the demo crats he would probably like to see ap pointed is J. Scott Harrison, b it the Presi dent, notwithstanding his nepotism, seems to have drawn the line this side of his dem ocratic brother. A man named Graham completed a con trivance tbe other day wnich, he claimed, would take people safeiy over Niagara Falls. He called it a life barrel, and he thought all that one had to do was to get into the barrel and be carried over. How ever, he conclud-d to see if tho barrel would go over safely without a person insid* of it, and he was grieved to find that it would not. After the trial, all that he found of it ■was a few staves. Btill, Graham does not despair. He thinks he will got a “life bar rel” that will make the trip over the falls a pleasant event for the person inside of it. The question arises, why should anybody be anxious to go over the falls, and why should a strong man consume valuable time in trying to co ,struct a "life barrel” for taking people over? Vote To-day. Citizens of tius county, outside of tbe city, who are entitled to a vote oo the “no fence” issue to-day, will, it is be leved, very generally cast their ballots. In th;s city, however, there app-ar* to be consid erable apathy with respect to the electio . Only those who desire free pasture for their cows seem to tie taking a:, interest in it If voters who nave no direct interest in the election remain away frem tbe polls they aill make a very serious mistake. The question tofce d*c;led is a very important one, and one ;n wnich nearly every cit.zeo has a- methiig at tta<e. The Morning sEt4fcai pointed o:t tine and time again since tnis issui into prominence to t the unpirovement of the county, outside of the c.ty, means the improvement of the city. If the necessity for fencing the crope is removed the greater part of the caltiva- l lands of tbe county will soon be under cul tivation. In proportion as the lands are cultivated the heaitn of the county will improve, because the lar.ds will be drained. What drainage wll do for health has already been quite satisfactorily demon strated by the d-ainage work that has been done in the v.c.mty of this city within the last few years. If tbe available lands of the county are placed under cultivation they wnl almost supply the markets of the city -.lth fruits, vegetable*, poultry, eggs and butter. Toe consequence will be that the cost of living in this city will tie greatly reduced. One • f the reasons why the cost of living in this city is now s i great is that so many articles needed to supply the market* are brought from points outside the county. From these brief statement* it will be seen that tbe interest of the city people in the election is almost, if not quite, as great as that of the eouitry picople. Besides the benefits to be derived from better be 11th conditions mid cheaper to d articles, there 1> the local trade which the city will erij y. If the county becomes settled with thrifty farmers toe volume of this trade will be greatly increased. Another thing that should not be over looked is the change w hie a the “no fence” law will cause in the appseara ce of tbe county. Now tbe greater part of the county is almost a w lderness. If toe “no fence” law is adopted the forests and swatips will dis appear; in their placee there will be truck farms and orcaards, and khe roads will be so Improved that it will be a pleasure to travel upx>n them. Let all who can vote on the pending issue do so. aod let tnem bear iu mind, in casting their ballots, that the “no fence" law means progress and prosperity and that the defeat of that law means the moving along in the same old ruts. Let us unite in making a strong effort la behalf of the “no fence” law. Thoie who v te for the law will have occasion to rejoice that they did so if the remit Is in favor of it. The Bazar of the Hussars. The Georgia Hussars have ii&ued a cir cular announcing their intention to hold a bazar, beginning Dec. 3 next, for the pur pxise of accumulating a fund to build an armory. They appeal to tho public for con tributions. The Hussars are one of the famous mili tary organizations of the state, and they deserve every possible encouragement iu carrying out their project. They are the only military organ za ion of the city that has not a home of its own, and as they have a record of which any military organiza ti n might well be proud, and as they have hundredsof earnest end enthusiastic friend', they have every reason to think that their effort in behalf of an armory will not only be well received, but will be given a very hearty support. Tbe Hussars are a modest body of men. They havo with characteristic generosity helped other mi ltary organizations iu building themselves homes without think ing of or calling attention to tueir own reed in that rzspiect. They have toiled an 1 put their hands in their pockets for others when they might have boen looking out for themselves. They have, therefore, won tbe right to expect that their friends wdl re spond liberally to thoir request for assist ance. The military organizations get very little encoui ageme it from the state, although tbe state commands and gets their services ii time of need. Thev have to depend upon themselves and a generous public to meet their wants. They nave had no occasion to find fault with the public—particularly the Savannah public—and there is reason for thlnkiug that thsv will have no occasion for doing so. When Dec. 3 comes it will be found, doubtless, that the Hussirs have everything they require for a great bazar. Jf t ey do not tho people of Savannah will have failed for the first time to respond gen erously to an appeal for a worthy ob ject. The following telegra u from Mt. Ver nou, Ky., appeared in the New York Press the other day: “On Nov. 13, 1861, William Higginbotham, a 15-year-old boy, was riding along the road shouting for Jeff Davis when he was killed by J. Logan S g man, who fled an 1 was never heard of for twenty-five years. Sig nan was finally found in Mi'Siuri, and tried for the crini'. Tbe ease resulted in a hung jury, and he was released on bond. Last Monday the case catne up again. The jury, after two da/s of deliberation, finally acquitte 1 the prisoner. The G. A R. took a promi nent part in the case when Sig na;i was arrested.” The Press headed this telegram. “A Patriot’s Grime Cond msd,” from which it may be inferred tnat, in the opinion of that newspaper, a person who kills another for shouting for Jefferson Davis is a pa triot, and tnat he should not be punished. Isn’t this a remarkable position for any newspaper to take? And w.y should the G-an.l Army have taken an active part in the case? Several lawyers in New York have made big money lately. The S.ewart will case was a bonanza for some of them, and other will cases have yielded big fens. Then there was the row between the partners in tho Royal Baking Powder Company, re sulting in aWg suit. Ii that suit Lawyer John, CL (jaynor is said to have received {ryiu one of tho partners a foe of SIOO,OOO, WillUntp. JJeWitt and Ssnat ir Evarts re ceived ,003 each, and Sac etarv Tracy and John M. Bowers received from tne othorpanner $25,000 each. The purpose of Postmaster General Wan amaker to do away with the green postago stamp should he considered probably a con cession to Editor Dana, of the New York Sun, who is about the only person in the country who cares whether the 2-cent stamp is green or red. E ditor Dana has a violent antipathy to the ‘•sickly green stamp," and doubtless the change of color will be very gratifying to him. THE MORNING NEWS* WEDNESDAY. JULY 3, 1889. The Old Capitol Eullding. It is prop>oeed to ask the legislature to lease the old cap tol budding to the Con federate Veterans' As-ociauon of Ful on county at a nominal sum for tbe term of twenty year*. It is understood tbzt the aesociatioa will agree to spwud at least $5,000 a year in collecting do Tra.u of <Ls tmguuhed confederate , relics of the war and a Lbrary of war .iterators. It will also j fit up rooms n the building for a w ayside home where destitute confederate veterans may be taken care of temporarily, and, at tbe expiration of the lease, will turn the property over to the state. Theporopos.tioo of tho association appears j to be o .e that will c mmead itself to tie legislature. There does not se-ui to be any j s'rong a-gument against it. The legis a ture probably expeob-d to sell the property, and apply tne proc edi to the payment of , the state de t. The amount wnich the build.ng would bring, however, would not ■ go vary far towa and Lquidating toe deot. Thereoughtt.be some suca institution in Georgia as chat proposed by the Fulton County Confederate Veterans’ Association, and it would not be at all surprising if tle pr [position ot tbe as ociatioa snouid be re garded by the legislature with favor. Tnere are a great many war relics scattered throughout the state wh.ch will be lost if they are not col acted in a public institu tion, and pla ceil under the care of come one ap.pyo.nted to 1 >ok after them. The south is sadly deficient in literature giving her side of the story of the war. The proprosed institution would encourage the writing of war n.story and the collec tion of many war incidents of historical value. The i stitu'i .n wouli become in a short time a place of great interest, and would be tne resort of Georgians when visiting the capital of the state. The stite can well afford to lease the building for the purpose name!. It would receive greater benefits from it than if it j were sold and tiie money used to liquidate the debt. The FulPon County Confederate Werans' Association is ap; are.itiy very much in earnest with respect to the pro posed undertaking, and if its proposition should be accepted the probab.Uties are that at tho end of twenty years the state would come into possession of a very intereiting and valuable collection of war relics, an l a great deal of war literature of inestimable value. To Bias or ->ot to i-ias? Theatrical managers and theiter-goers in several of the large cities are discussing the question whether or not hissing should be in troduced into the theaters. Very likely the discussion grew out of the action of a Chi cago audience which recently hissed Kyrls Bellew. The hissing in that case, however, was wholly uaco mectod with the play. The discussion has take i a wide scope and relates to the play, the manner in which it is presented and to tbe actors. The managers are almost, if not quite, unanimous in tbe opinion that hissing should iot be introduced. They admit the right ot audiences to hi*s, ai l of course they acknowledge that sibilant and moistra tion is very common in E ir ipe, but t :ey do not think it snouid be introduced here, ad they give some very g>o 1 reasons for this opinion. They tay that hissing is a sign of ill breading; that ma la.jers, actors or others interested in pireva iting a really meritorious play from be -oming a suc esi might employ people to hiss it off the stage; that it would create disorder, aud that it would make actors so nerv ous on the occasion of tbe introduction of anew play, that they coul l do neither themselves nor the play jUFt.Ci. In England, they say, hisung is confined almost exclusively to the pit3, and on ac count of the inclination of ce tain classes to hiss upon the slightest provocation, new plays are first tried at the ma'inees. The theater-goers do not seem disposed to adopt the practice. Tney think th it the 00-visions for hissing are very rare, if there is ever an occasion for it. There are many plays and actors thst deserve to receive some mark of disappro bation, but hissing would hardly be the proper thing. The American custom of leaving the theater if the play or the act ing is not satisfactory, or is really offensive to refined tastes, is a very good one, bit probably a better one would be for the audience to remain seated until the per formance was over, so as not to create con fusion, and to remain away aft-rward whe i the same play was on the boards, or when objectionable actor* took part. This would be not only more dignified, but probably more effective in riddiDg the stage of offen sive features. Mrs. Leslie Carter, having entered into an engagement to appear up>on the stage next fall, has b*gun to try to play up n the sympathies of the public, as the be t way of getting good houses. She says that she must support herself and her little child, and that she doesn’t know how she coul 1 do su without becoming au actress. If Mrs. Leslie had not ti.-ure 1 disgracefully iu a divorce case, would she have thought of appearing upon tho stage? Her unenviable notoriety may make her wealthy, but tho stage will n it bo elevated by her. A Washington corresponde it says that Senator Chandler’s true character was very well shown when the news of JohnM. ( lay ton’s assassination was received in Wash ington. It was told to Caandler by a south era republican congressman, and, instead of expressing regret that Clayton had been killed, Chandler smiled gleefully and ex claimed, “An ther splendi 1 chance for us to make political capital at the expense of the south.” This story may not bo true it is to be hoped that it is not; but Chan dler’s fanatical course with regard to south ern politics would seem to indicate that it is. Tbe longest examination of a witness on record, so far as is known, is reported from Newark, N. J. The c ise was that of the State against tbe Morris and Essex Rail road Company for back taxes, and the wit ness was Richard E. .Stevens, who exam ined the company’s books. He began to give his testim my two years ago aud fl 1- isiied giving it the other day. He was on the witness’ stand two hours each week, and the testimony, when priuted, will fin three large volumes. The case involves about $1,000,001. Ex-Senator Jones, of Florida, writes to tbe New York World, under date of June 20, that “for the first time in long, long year he is now in the possession of com plete health, and after making this state ment he shows, unfortunately, that it is his physical rather thau his mental hsalth that is go >d. Senator Jones’ friend* should really restrain him from writing letters to the press. He is in a condition to be pitied, and it is too bad for him to be allowed to expose himself to the shaft* of merciless critics. CCSfiSNT COMMENT. Becucs IhA curplua.

From the New York Tribune . A southern colonel and a northwestern ranch osn-r fo med part of a lit'.le knot of men who were enjoying taemsel.es around a table in the Hoffman home cafe tne other night. T e con versati >n turned upon the resources of the new soutn and the colonel said; "New industries are springing up tnere every day. I tell you. Even tne darky boy sand gi ris are learning to be industrious since tney find il pays them One of the latest wrinkles they have caught on to is tbe gathering of gopher' eggs ii Floriia ad the utne Gu.f states, whic i sell readily and find their way into many palatable dishes in n rthern restaur-ints." ‘ Come, now. co tael. ’ said the ranch owner, draw it rni.d ou us. Gopher eggs—eggs, you know Ha: hal^That'sgood!" "I don't understand you. sir,” said the colonel, ratner nett ed. "You evidently take what I said for a joke.” ‘•Well, tuat was natural. I am sure, colonel," was the reply. ”1 would not offend yo i for the world; buc gophers'eggs, you know—Hal ha: Why, gophers don't lay eggs. You must be thinking of something else." ' I euerally know what I am talking about, sir.” snapped the sout erner. "anil 1 am not ac customed to being told that Ido not. I'll bet you ten to one tuat gophers lay eggs, and that I have eaten them myself. ” "I‘one witb you,” said the ranch owner, “in X's.” A Stakeholder was appointed and a dictionary seat for. The referee turned to the word and read: "Gopher, a little burrowing animal of tbe genus Pseu ioatoma— a pouched ret com mon to tbe western plains of North America.'' “There!’’ cried the ranch owner, "what did I tell you? I've known'em till my life, and I guess no one ever saw a rat lay eggs. That’s my mon ” "Hold on,” said the referee,” wait for the second definition ” and be continued to read: "A species of burrowing tortoise—Xerobtaes Carolinus—habitat, tbe southern parts of North America.” "Great Scott'. Is that so?" cried the West erner. "Colonel. I beg your pardon. I never knew that a gopher was anything but a pesky little ground rat. The money’s yours." "Well,” replied the colonel, "I never knew that a gopher was anything but a no-account turtle; so we'll cab it a draw, and you can open wine for the party.” Chauncey M. Depew’s Double. From the Chicago Tribune. The resemblance between Chauncev M. De pew, th-distinguished X-w York railroad presi dent and statesman, and Adam Fo epaugn. tbe circus king, is wonJerfu.ly str.king. and Brother Cnaunoey is frequently mistake for Brother Adam and vice versa. This similarity bas led to a number of ludicrous mistakes. Last winter, while Forepaugfi's big show was in winter quarters in Phil uleiptiia, one of the baby elephants was "rented out” to the man agement of an opera company, it being utilized to giv • rea i-mto an o ie.ilal s. ene. The opera company closed its season the latter part of March and the baby elephant was snipped back to P.nlaielpbia in char e of the agent of the company. The elephant was lett in the car and tne agent went down town to the Conti eutal hotel, where h“ had made an anp . ntm-nc by mail to mtet Mr. Forepaugh whom he knew and ha i irequeudy met. Brother fjhauucev happened to he at the ho tel at tie time. He ha 1 oeen invited over to Philadelphia to a dinner given by tne tamous Clover Club, ana when the opera company's agent entered he was standing near the desk talking to me of tne clerks. Tne arent in stantly spotted him for Brother Adam.” “Good morning.” he said, “I’m glad to see you." Delighted, I'm sure,” answered Brother Chauncey. with a puzzled look on his face, as though trying to remember wuere he had seen the agent. ■ i ou got my letter, of course?” “No-yes—well, no. I can’t say that I did,” end the" puzzled look deepened on Brother Chauncey’s face. "O, well," said the agent, “it doesn't make any difference—the baby's here.” “The—baby's—here?’’ “Why, yes; it arrived this saorning. What shall I do with it?'* “Do with wuat?” “Why, the baby.” “What baby?” “The baby elephant.” A light broke over Brother Chauncey’s face. “My dear fellow,” he said, ’•‘whom do you take me for?” 'For Adam Forepaugh.” Brother Chauueey began to laugh. “Great Caesar!" ne exclaimed, “mat’s the tourth time I've been mistake • for Mr. Forepaugh since I've been in Phiiade phia, and in every town I strike I hav,- at least on) experience of tne kind. My name’s Depew—l'm Chauncey Depew.' Then they both laughed, and the agent went off to hnu the real Mr. Forepaugh. Where Shall We summer It? This is an important question, both to the in valid and pleasure seeker. Bowden Lithia, Georgia's wonderful Mineral Spnug. probably offers me very best advantages to oolb tne health and pleasure seeker. Only twenty miles from Atlanta, situated di rectly on the Georgia Pacific railroad. Trains several times daily; full mail and telegraph accommodations. A magnificent hotel; Hot Springs system of bathing The finest mineral water in the world; cool mountain air, and the great Piedmont Chautauqua holding its summer session tnere this season, make it especially at tractive.

Ushers in many of tbe most prominent theaters in New York have anew and clever de vice for victimizing th -atcr-goers if they hold coup ns for particularly desirable seats the usuer on going down ihe aisle will substitute coupons tor inferior cha rs, frequently without the knowledge of the purchaser.

This pr ctice is spreading, but occasion ally one of tne forward fellows is caught in the act. a turn of affairs whien does not worry the offenders in the least. The f cs which u-hers receive in this manner and for selling unpur ciiased seats are enormous. In one of the i-mailest hous-s in town at wnich a strong at tr etion was running during the past season one young man made from $D to S2O per night. *1 he cantonal authorities of the districts around Mount Eilatus, Switzerland, have und r consideration a proposal for the construction of a novel kind ofVoad which has been su,- mined to them through the ceniral govern ment at Berne. This road would conn -ct the so-called Oberhaupt, or highest point of Eilatus, with tne Klimsenhorn. The object would be to make the ascent of the mountain e.isier on the northern si le, and to shorten the ascent for tourists c uning from Hergiswyl. The difference in level between tha two poin s Is set down at Id meters; the distance between tnem at 46 meters. The road apparatus would consist of six wire cables, .quite indep-ndem of one another, on which bix light pulley wheels Will mnve. and fom these wheels'a small omnibus capable of carrying eight per ons will bang. The omnibus will be drafci by a rope attache lto a steam engine to be pneed on the Oberhaupt. Dk. Angus Campbell of the Central Skin hos pital.

Here is an authenticated account, says a dis jiatch from Paris, of the vagaries of a Parisian caeby whom plethoric exhibition profits lad made insolent and audacious. A doctor hailed th-driver in question on Wednesday evenin’ near the Champ de Mars. Jehu wanted 6 francs for a half Hour's drive into the city, bit tt.e fa e took bis sea:, nev rtheless, remarking that be would only ray the ordinary tariff for a smile journey. Toe eat.bv cracked his whir, an t set out with the doctor. But, on arrivin'* at the neare-t publican's, be coolly got down from i his seat and went in for a drink. The doctor remonstrate 1, an 1 was about to take tbe reins when Jebu ran out. struck him, and pulled him down on the road. Eventually, however the fare doggedly returned to his S‘-at. whereupon the half-drunken rurtian drove wildly in the di rection of the forti .cations, intending, no doubt, to have his revenge in some lonely sub urban spot. The doctor ,-honted fir I e.'p and tne notice accordingly stopped the cab and’eo - ducted tue driver to the sta ion. The fellow had a pocketful of money, having cleared £'2 in half a day, and had accordingly become impu dently independent. . About a year ago, tbe most disagreeable task in the life of a Sandy Hook pilot was to boaid an incoming Norwegian.

They probably are accorded more forcible condemnation than all th others combined. Previous to sailing from abroad these vessels, by means of steam, are pumped full of salt water, which makes a free and s-rviceable ballast.
