SAVANNAH OF TO-DAY,
The Morning News Annual Trade Review-.
A Few Pointer. In Relation Thereto.
Tho Morning News’ Annual Trade Re
view, containing a complete and compre
hensive statement of the business of Savan
nah, " ill be issued early in September.
The year ending Sept. 1, 1889, will be a
memorable one ii the history of Savannah,
and the Morning News proposes to gtvo
the widest publicity to what Savannah has
done, is doing, and proposes to do in the
near future. There is no better way in
which the outside world can be informed of
what is going on in a community thau
through the columns of its newspapers.
The Morning News in its forthcoming
Trade Review will show by facts and
figures that Savannah is one of the most
progressive and healthy cities in the union,
and that her citizens, judging from what
they have done during the last year, are
fully alive to the great ,ess of her future.
They have proven by the various local iin
provvments they have made, and by the
active interest they have manifested iu
railroads projected for her benefit, that
they are not afraid to invest their money
Within her limits They have demonstrated
beyond all doubt that they have confidence
In her groat natural advantages, and that
they believe that her deep water harbor
and her great railroad systems will, in a
few years, make her the greatest seaport
city in the south.
The Morning News will, in its Trade
Review, present to the world “Savannah ol
to-day,” in a resume of what has hereto
fore appeared in its columns. The review
will be in such shape that, at a
glance, it will be seen what has
been accomplished during the year.
The Trade Review "ill contain articles
showing tbe bu iness of the city during the
year and present indisputable facts which
promise a steadily increasing prosperity.
It will establish the fact that there is no
healthier city in the south aud none more
pleasant in which to live and do business
either in summer or winter. It will
prove by figures that Savannah is
without a rival on the South Atlantic
coast, and that by their acts her citizens
show that they are satisfied that she is
only at the beginning of her commercial
greatness.
The Trade Review will be printed in the
usual form, and will be a newspaper which
those who feel a pride iu their city will
take pleasure in sending to their friends.
It will afford business meu au opportun
ity of saying something about their business
and themselves. It is hoped that in size, ns
well as in other respects, it will sur, ass
every previous edition. That, however,
depends entirely upon the orders it re
ceives from advertisers.
It is desired to distribute 53,000 copies,
and that number will be distributed, if the
response of the business men is as prompt
and liberal as we have reason to believe it
will be.
Orders for advertising or for copies of
the paper can be handed in at the business
office, or, if desired, they will bo called for
by the canvassers.
Mr. Robert Garrett may not be com
pletely restored to his health, but it is prob
able that his co. dition has been greatly
improved. The interest in Mr. Garrett
seems to be quite general.
George p anc.s Train’s la est fad ’.a to
establish anew creed ad to organize anew
church. If he succeeds he will probably be
made past >r of the church, a id tbei there
w ill bs trouble. George Francis never could
control his tongue.
The Board of Pardons Bill.
There is some opposition to the b ard of
pardons bill, the opposition being I ased
upon the belief that such a b ari is un
necessary. The fact is pained .ut that t e
governor takas a go and many pleasure trips,
and that if he were as busy as t'.e advo
cates of this bill aver’ he would not be able
to be away from his office so much.
Asa matter of fact, the governor doesn’t
often go outside of the state, ad when be
does it is generally in connection with some
matter In which the sta’e is Interested, and
which req lires his personal attention. The
governor may not be in his office all the
time during Imdness h >nrs, but it is prob
ably true that ho can l*e found there
gen rally.
But if the governor should spen 1 about
all his time in hi.**' dice would he e nble to
act intelligently upon all the applications
fer pardon which are presented to him?
Tho probability is that he wmi.d not. If
we are not misinformed there arc now hun
dreds of applications waiting for his action.
It would require several da <s to gel a thor
ough acquaintance tilth the papers filed
with some of the appl cations. In these
paj ers are petitions, alleged now evidence,
long explanatory statements, at and, very
often, all the testimony that was taken at
tho trials. Those who flic applications do
not take intoconsidorati >n the fact that the
time of the governor is pretty fully occu
pied. If he were to devote to these applica
tions for ptrdots till the time required for
their co sid'ration he would not be able to
and > anything else.
The governor Ins been quite severely
critic.sed on seveial occasions for granting
pardons. He has been asked whether he
thought tbnt bo was doing right when lie
has ginuted pardons to convicts who have
cost tho cou ties in which tl < y were tried
hlindie.ls and perhaps thousands of dollars
lo secure their conviction. There is no
doubt that he acted conscientiously, but it
doesn’t follow on that account .liat li ■
acted justly. The convicts ho pardoned
may not have deserve 1 pardons. He may
not have had time, however, to make a
careful and cl .-e investigation of the cusoi
of the pardoned men. All he coul.l do in
tho limited time at his command was to
notice the names recommending the
pardons, and perhaps to glance at the main
facts . f the cases.
It is impossible f>r him to act with th e
deliberation and care which the imp rtance
of pardons imperatively demands. He does
not want to do injustice toconvicts apply
ing for pardons, and he does not wa it to
i jure s. ciety by releasing from confine
ment those who will improve the first op
portunity that presents itself to prey upon
it.
If it be true that there are hundreds of ap
; lications for pardons pending intho govern
or’s office, that fact is a strong argument iu
f vor of a board of pardons. If the gov
ernor had the time to consider them he
would not permit them to remain unno
ticed month after month. He would dis
pose of them as they were presented. That
they accumulate is pretty strong evidence
that be hasn’t time to a. tend to them.
It will not be denied that applications
for pardon should be acted upon ns quickly
as possible. In a hundred applications there
may not be more than o.ie that should be
granted. That one, however, should be
granted promptly, and to reach that one
the hundred others must be studied closely.
An innoceut man should not lie Kept in the
penitentiary a day longer than is absolutely
necessary. Iu order to determine whether
there a e innoceut moil among tho convic s
all applications for pardon should be at
tended to without unnecessary delay.
The pending bill may not be just what is
needed. If it isn’t it should be so amended
as to remedy the evil which is sought to be
civ rooted. There is no need for creating
offices with big salaries attached to them.
The board should be composed < f men who
do not reside far from the state capital and
who would, for a reasonable compensation,
meet once a week or month to pass upon
the applications that may be on tile. They
should be paid by the day, and for each day
they serve the state.
Of course there is a general feeling against*
creating any more offices or imposing any
more burdens upon the taxpayeis, but this
feeling ought not to stand in the way of
legislation that seems to be absolutely nec
essary. •
Our dispatches yesterday in 11c itut pre’ty
clearly what the result iff the trial of Gen.
Boulanger would lie. When the legislative
chamber dec ded by a vote of 21:3 to 51 that
tho senate court was competent to iry Gen.
Boulanger, it was evident that ha would bo
found guilty. Our dispatches this mo, ning
state that such was the finding of the sen
ate court. The trial was a short one. It is
evident that the court was organized to
convict.
Some of the Whitechapel women have
adopted a peculiar plan to extort money
from men. They demand the money, and
threaten to charge the moil with being
"Jack the Rippei” if it is not forthcoming.
Hardly a day passes but some man is sub
jected to imprisonment in this way. It is
getting about time to imprison women who
resort to the device.
Each Monday morning for the last four
weeks Mr. Snelson, of Meriwether, has tried
to get the legislature to do away with the
business of adjourning from Friday to M m
day. He hasn’t made much headway, but
some of the legislators who oppose his reso
lution may find out, when taey run for
office again, that the people think he is
right.
Dr. Felton’s dander is up. Tne Cassville
Farmers’ Alliance requested him to oppose
all bills to appropriate money for higher
education, and to favor those to appropriate
it for public scho 1 education, and the doc
tor tells the alliance that he won’t do auv
such thing. The doctor is spunky, but it
is doubtful if he is right.
During John L. Sullivan’s trial in Purvis,
Miss., tiie Queen and Crescent road will run
daily excursions to that town. Pr ffiably
after the Sullivan trial tho Queen and
Crescent road will have to defe id its action
in taking tiie crowds to see tho Sullivan-
Kilrain fight.
President Harrison says he thinks the ex
position of 18112 should be held in Washing
ton. This opinion won’t have much weight,
although it comes from a President, tin
such a subject it is worth no more than that
of any other influential citizm.
Rome of the newspapers iu adjoining
states have suggested that tue south gener
ally should follow Georgia’s oxatuple in
making Jan. 19, Los’s birthday, a legal
holiday. The suggestion is a good one.
Although nobody hears anything about it
the e days, the recount of the vote for gov
ernor of West Virginia still g* es on. The
committee is probably paid by the day.
THE MORNING NEWS: WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 14, 1889.
Surprised Republican Journals.
The coalmen's of some of the republican
news: at ers u the north on the result of the
trial of John Yeldell in Eigefeld. S. C., are
rather interesting, as they virtual v amount
to a confess n (hat they did not believe
t! at a black man charged with killing a
white man could have a fair trial in S uth
Caroline. The Philadelphia lvess, for in
stance, said: “As it is believed to be very
difficult for the aver, ge South Caroiinian,
if while, to conceive of any contingency in
which tiie shooting of a white man by a
colored man would 1® justifiable, it was
feare l that any defense which admitted the
shooting wcuid ava.l tbe prisoner very
lithe.”
The South Carolina officers who went to
Pittsburg for Yeld 11, who tad been arrested
in tha* city, were delayed in the accom
piishme .t of their duty by all sorts of ob
structions which Pittsburg people threw in
their wav. Some of the news, a ers sail
that if Yel l. 11 were turnel over to tbe offi
cers to he car iej back to South C troll .a,
he would be lynched before ho reached bis
destination, or,t‘ a if he were not lynched
be would not have a fair trill.
No attempt was made to lynch Yeldell,
and he coul J not have asked f r a fairer
trial. He was acquitted without the in
trod uc ion <f any testimony in h.s behalf.
Tne cha ge of tbe judge was fav- ruble to
him, und tbe jury, although comp s-.d
wholly of white men, returned a verdict cf
aoqui tnl within a very few minutes after
the close of the charge.
The outcome of this case of Y’eldeU’s will
convince many mistaken and badly in
formed whitepeo.de at the norm that a
black man stands as good a chance in tho
south (is in th'* north to be dealt with
strictly in accordance with tne law. I
fact, where t tier 3 is a cha ics tod > so, courts
in tho south are rather disposed than other
wise to show rneicy to tho blacks
charged with crime. Tne ignorance
and low in* >ral tone of the blacks are tak n
into account, and alio wane ‘s a'e made for
them which would not alw tys bo made for
white men charged with offenses against
the laws.
While mna in the south a-e much more
dispose i o deal justly with tho blacks than
the northern republican press is to treat
fairly the white people of the south.
dbo statements in so no of the Pennsyl
vania newspapers relative to tho south
when the Yeldell ea-e b -gan first to attract
attention, were calculated to lead ono to
believe that no blacs man could get a fair
trial in the south. So no of these newspa
pers have the decency to admit that they
were mistaken. Asa matter of fact tne
si nation of the colored people, when viewed
from all standp ants, is just about as good ill
the south as it it in the nort i.
Mr. Northen’s Address.
The address of Hon. W. J. Northen at
Cedartovvii yesterday before the S ate Ag
ricultural Society, was a very interesting
■ no, and one calculated to do a great deal
of goed. Its effect will he to inspire farm
ers all over tbe state wi:h hope, and to en
courage them to adopt the methods c f farm
ing which are proving to be so satisfactory.
From tho fac s given by Mr. Northen it
is clear that t ei e are fortunes in Georgia’s
lands. All that is necessary is to adopt the
right way to get them out. Tho mistake
that the farme s hove been making, and
“which some of them are still making, is that
they farm more la id than they cay
cultivue to the best advantage. Another
mistake which they have made, but which
they are now cor ecting, is thit they have
acted upon the id a that there was money
only in cotton. Mr. Northen sho vs elearly
that there are cr >ps which can be success
fully cultivated in Georgia that are more
profitable tha i cott >n.
A full synopsis of Mr. Northen’s address
is pu .ilishei in this issue. There im’t a line
of the a idress that does not possess the
greatest in erect for far ners and all others
who aro in the least interested iu the pros
perity of Georgia.
An African prince was in Boston tbe
other day. He is tne son of a king of the
Bouro tribe, in the Congo country, and the
English name.that he has adopted is Fred
erick Nicholas Smith. The most interest
ing fact connected with him, however, is
that he saw Explorer Stanley last Novem
ber. At that ti ue Stanley was at Kin
ch ssa. with 230 men, aud ho and his party
"'ore in good health. Stanloy himself was
robust, and the African prince says tuat iiis
voice was like that of a lion, and that the
natives regarded him as a great and mighty
man, .
According to reports, voudoojsm is not
dying out in New Orleans. On tho con
trary, it is on the increase. It will be re
membered that a few months ago an
establishment in that city was raided and
a number of white ad colored women were
found dancing around an old voudoo doc
tor, whose incantations they imagined
benefited their health. The other night a
t::eeti: gof the ame kind was held, and it
was more numerously attended than the
former ones. New Orleans should put a
stop to this business.
At one time during the revolutionary war
Gen. Washington used the Union hotel, at
lVrightsville, Pa., as his headquarters, and
he slept in room No. 7. It is alleged tuat
at a certain hour each night the reflection
of Washington’s face can be seen upon one
of the walls of that room. T,;is is doubt
less a canard. If Washington’s spirit could
return it would make itself manifest in
Virginia, v here .Mahoue, aided by tho Har
rison administ: ation. is trying to turn the
slate over to machine politicians.
Mr. Chauncey Depew says that there is a
growing belief in England that this coun
try wants to go to war with so ne foreign
power, and t.iat England is preferred. Mr.
Depew promptly corrects that impression
whenever he can. He is quite right i 1 and >hig
so. Our wliticians may twist th ? British
liou'stuii occasionally, becauseitapparent. y
affords them a gaud deal of amusement
to do so, but there is no desire for a war
with England.
Tho New York Ilerahl say3 that Gov.
Hill and ex-Senator Platt are working hard

Evarts doesn’t seem to take much inteiest

THE RULING PASSION.
The Wager of Two Dying Gamblers
in a San Francisco Hospital.
from the San Francium Chronicle.
That tbe ruling passion asserts itself even in
the very face of the grim destroyer is an axiom
as old as the hills. Its truth was evidenced by
an incident whic 1 recently occurred at the City
und County hospital, and which was related to
a reporter y-'Sterday.
Some nior.il s ago’twoconsumptivesin the last
stag -, of the disease lay dying ou cots in close
proximity to each otuer. Both victims wer
sportc who by dissipation had contracted
phtuisis in its most aggravated form. One was
known as Bui Cunningham, a young gamb er
WHO had ." joyed the reputation am ng his
c a sof b in.' a reckless bettor on tbe 1 uru of a
card. The other was an English sailor named
Staples, wuose sole passion was to wager what
ever he ! ossessed in support of any opinion
which lie might express. The naiur -of the
men. in this articular at least, was ideal leal,
aud l oth recogn z. J each other in a sense as
b-otuers in misf 'mine. A- they lav on t "nr
c its. haggard and hollow-eyed and gasping for
breitb. they daily wast *.i tha rerun nt of their
vital forces in bantering one a not ner about
th.-ir appearance.
"i say. ha pies," said Cunningham one morn
ing in a voice scarcely above a hoarse whisper,
"you're looking blue. Better brace up, old
man."
Stapl -s, who really so’-ned to be a dead man
as he lav almost breathless, with bis glazed
yes * alf open and mouth widely distended,
pulled himself together with an indignant jerk
and ma ie an attempt to raise himself upon his
arm.
"Billy," said he, “you're wrong. To prove it
1 11 b-t you $!, the size of my pot, that I'll out
live ye.”
“I'd s"e that bet," replied Billy.
An attendant was chosen as stakeholder and
the money (ad they possessed* iv is placed in
Ills bauds. Then in-can th* struggl- of these
:n.-n to who could retain the spark of life
1 iigcst. At a di.ta ice of five test the two
dying men lanced at one another, each eager
to show tne ot'.er t at his stock of vitality was
the great -r. Cunningham battled bravely, but
be was the first to s iow signs of weakening.
He finally resumed ids old position, but it
coul 1 bo s "ii that his respiratory action was
failing, hndiie ly he gave one great gra-p, and
with that sigh tin* spark of his ife, prema
tur *ly cut off, was extinguished.
"I've won the bet." sai l Maples, as he took
tile stake money with a gratified smile.
Cunningham's body was at once removed to
: o nos ital morgue. The attendant had fol
lowed the cortege to the door and returned im
mediately to staples' cot. scarcely five minutes
bad p s ed since Cunningham na l expired, but
when the atteudnut glanced at St ip es he saw
that he, too, wus .’e id. The last pot which tie
"ad raked in was clasped in his rigut hand. The
grip was vise like, and an instrument was em
p.oyed to re novo the silver fiom tue stiifeuel,
unwiliiag lingers.
HBR STRANGE STORY.
Once the Superior of a Convent, Then
a Bride, aud Now in a Iv.r.d House.
From the San Francisco Chronicle.
Los Angeles, July 23. 1 pathetic and very
sensational romance was allowed to come out
yesterday in the examiuation of au insane
patient, in t e superior court. The patient was
Mrs. Clara Lighttoot 1 f Clearwater, the wife of
Frank Lightfoot. The lady, a woman of educa
tion and very accomplisueu, seemed to be suf
fering from emotional insanity. Mrs. Light
foot nas b**e.i married only a little over a year,
a though she his been insane, and at times
violent, since ISTS. In that year she was tue
mot.:er superior ■ f the convent of the Facreil
Incarnation at Eagle Pass. Tex., having under
oer over IPO nuns. She had lake . the veil a:
the San Antonio convent, an J was sent to take
cnargi* of tue lious • t Eagle Pass.
Lei ore she became a nun it was said that
there had been a romance in her life, and that
she had renounced the world because of it.
Going into t ie order, her eminent talents led
ner at ouce te* the trout, and she was given
charge 01 tiie new house. For seven years she
remained iu charge of the convent, and one of
her ideas is that while there she committed a
siu unpardonable in a sis er. In 1875, in accord
ance with the customs of tue order, sue was re
el iced to the ruuks to l-arn tiie virtue of obedi
ence. With her other troub es this broke her
heart, and the latent insanity, that was yrob
ably born in tier, developed.
Lhe had a long illness, and when she recov
er cl the Bishop of Texas absolved her from her
vows and discharged her fro m the cmv -nt.
After afew years she was sent for by her brother
m Los Angel s, and she lived in his family for a
long time. On July 4, 1888, she left the house,
and somewhere on the street, while she was
following th* procession, she met and be
came acquainted wit.i Lightfoot. Within a tew
days thereafter she married him, and th • two
went to live upon th- ranch at Clearwater.
Ihe woman was committed to tae tstoextou
asylum.
The Ins de of a Yachting Episode.
Clara Belle in New York Evening World.
There is a girl of astonish.ng iov dincst who
has just become engaged to a middF-aged
member of a certain yacnt club, aud, if I can
believe tbe story that i beau 1 fro n an uusuc
cessful rival of the yachtsman in the race tor
the sweet creature's favor, tho prize was won
in a decidedly unique aud ing nious way. The
successful sue or ows a large steam yacht and
also a small racing cutter. On one recent after
noon, wh n tnere was a smart breez: blowing,
he had a little company take a spin with him
down the bay aboard the cutter. The beautiful
prize made one of the party, and merry
indeed was the dash out to s a aud return
to the jolly tinkle of banjos and the
pleasant refreshment of acharnpagne luncheon.
as the cutter bobbed up the bay and into
smooth water the company was sprinkled about
the deck talking au 1 singing, aud naving a gen
erally good time. Tho beautiful girl was lying
hack against the mainsail near tbe mast, lis on
ins to the compliments of the owner cf tne
cutter, who stood just forward of tbc mast.
u Idenly, aud before any warning could be
given, the man at the till r permitted the mat
1* uIT. That brought the main boon round
with a rush. The beautiful girl was swept
without any shock whatever cleaned t. e rail
and dropped with a splendid splash into the
water.
Without hesitation the yachtsman jumped
over the side and soon had the spluttering gi 1
grasped tightly m his arms l i les time almost
than it ta ,es to tell it tue boat was rounded up
alongside of them, and they were lifted drip
ping to the deck,
"It was an act of inhumanity and foolhardi
ness," said the young fellow who lost the girl
"Tne old fox was willing to risk her life iu or
der to plane her under obligations to him. But
It is just here. Sh * has p onus dto marry him
but I shall be within hailing distance of her ali
this summer, and if I don't break tbe match
then I'll stay a bachelor the rest of my days. I
nave one last resort when I can't win her b.
holiest attentions."
"What is thai?” I inquired, startled at the in
sinuation.
"i own that n‘an nt the wheel who let the
boat luff. I got him a nlacc ou the vacht of a
friend of mine, and I’ll pay him SIOO if I find
that his testimony is needed. ’’
it looks very much as though courtship in
these latter days was developing iuto a science.
In Church.
From the Agnostic Journal.
A sudden shifting light iliat paints
Yuur dead-white brow and dead-gold hair
Comes from the rows of gilded saints,
Tne puppets in the winnow th re.
Teat watch and keep you free from harm,
So tite ehuren teaches you to say;
But all the crowd could scarcely charm
Your tedious righteousness away.
What should you know of love and bate?
Y'ou arc like one of those who bore
Full lamps at watch time, fain to wait
Till Christ should puli them through the door.
Well satisfied and well content,
Y'ou s, e some w;tu their lamps gone out,
Locks torn aud garments frayed and rent,
Aud take much joy of it, no doubt.
Go. watch and pray; to-morrow's sun
May i.nd not your sweet limbs alive,
And glad for mane a soul undone.
Go. watch and pray! your s ml shall thrive;
And he tuat fed five thousand, he.
With some suiu.il fishes and two loaves,
Shall kist your iips and b and you see
The lost wail past in hud fling droves.
Could mere men love ym? Men draw nigh
To Paphos and the Cyprian fire
Where Venus stood lise death on high
Beyond tn&u's love and mans desire;
For nuraan eyes learn women's ways,
And angers t inch a woman’s hair.
But you: -the window's purple haze
Uncrowns you Venus in its glare.
Y'et once one understood you well
With all your magic, body and soul.
W ose heart you found a thing to sell,
Whose curse became an aureole
Around your Crows. Ou sterile saint.
The girls that walk the lampiit way
With draggled charms of gauds and paint
Seal, mock you some time. Watch and pray!
