From the -Veto York World. When Noah, after taking the first re corded menagerie upon an extended cruise in the prototype of the modern canal boat, beached his gallant craft upon the summi t of Mount Ararat, he little imagined that his unique achievement would be duplicated in a way and immeasurably surpassed sev eral centuries later. But Naah wasn’t ac quainted with Barnum and Bailey. At that time these gentlemeu were primordial proto plasms dodging around the corners of in finity, while the circus business still awaited its pioneer. Up to the present theatrical season the feat of maritime transportation accom plished by the navigator of the Ark stood unrivaled, but .when Messrs. Barnum & Bailey sent the “greatest show on earth” safely across the ocean, a id brought it safely back again, Noah’s achievement suf fered a total eclipse. The actual expense of this gigantic undertaking was |35 j,OOO, an amount equal to the proilts of an entire summer tour, a id at one time during the trip over th re were six steams dips of the Anchor line on the ocean at once wit i por tions of the show aboard, the bulk being carried by the Furnesda. The preparations and arrangements for the eastward voyage were made leisurely, there being plenty of time at the m inager’s disposal, so it was reserved for the home ward journey to illustrate the wonderful discipline and speed with which the sho w’s little army of emoloyes can work when oc casion requires. The rapidity with which the exodus fro n Olympia was affected ao proached the marvelous. The last London performance of the circus ended at 10:30 on a Saturday night and by an eariy hour on Tuesday morning all of its people and paraphernalia were on board of the steam ship. Three giant derricks were rigged up o;i lighters alongside the Albert docks, at which the Fun.essia lay, and within twenty-four hours they had swung through the air and deposited upon the ves-el’sdecks 300 horses, 17 el 'phants, 15 camels, 50 ponies and zebras and 46 cages of assorted an m Is. The 625 attaches of the show came by special conveyances from their iodgmg3 and settled themselves and their belongings on Bhipt)oard within two hours. Of the 2,000 pieces of baggage which accompanied them only one was mislaid. Although the Furnessia is only of 5,500 tons burden, she was not overcrowded by her unique cargo. Accu: ate moa-urements of every inch of space were t ken in ad vance and each article, animal, and man was given a certain amount of room. Even the most out of the way corners were utilized and suffic ent accommodations were given to everything and everybody. During the thirteen days w hich elapsed between t le departure of the show from London and its welcome home at the Brooklyn wharf by the great and only Ricardo Fazzio Hamilton, many events if comic and thrilling interest trans pired. The initial catastrophe of the trip took place soon after the Furnessia struck the bounding briny. In a cage between decks w ere eight v-live speci mens of the monkey tribe, raging in vari ety from the straw berrv-striped baboon of Central 'Africa to the piireiisile-tai!ed Simian of Borneo’s bamboo forests. In their wild glee at departing from the fogs and rains of merry England they indulged in every imaginable va r iety of monkey deviltry until the heavy water was reached. They shrieked, chattered, aud raised such a deafening racket that the aged black bear in the adjoining cage was reduced to the vergoof nervous prostration. Suddenly tie bow of the ship went ud in the air, and quite as suddenly the stern went down. The movement was repeated. It assumed a regularity. ■ There was a lull in the chatter ing, and, overcome by surprise, a venerable ape fell off of bis perch aud barke l his ancient nose. HU mi hap failed to arouse a single satirical screech. Silence reigned in the cage, and one by one its occupants crept away iuto shady corners or hid be neath the straw. Before half an hour had passed evorv one of them was as seasick as it is possiole for the ordinary museum monkey to be, aud for tlie next three days that cage held the s ddest collection of Simians upon the face of the globe. All of the other animals wore unaffected by the moti n of the boat, and both the elephants and horses soon learned to swing in unison with it. There is a vraitar < n the Fnri easia who Is in a fair way to develop ncu e mela i cbolia. The experience that he west through while at ending to the gastro noniical order* of the circus people cast a blight over hu hitherto h a npy existence, and just at rtfes'iit he has no further use for life. Tue two THE MORNING NEWS: MONDAY, MARCH 17, 1890. tables upon which he waite 1 were filled by the ballet girU encaged by Imre Kiralfv in iondon, aud every nationality except the E ighth was represented am mg them. When the first dinner wa< served the waiter, who is a plain and guileless cockney, came jau .tily forward to take the orders. Totally ignoring the 1 ill of fare, each girl started in to tell him w hat she wanted, and for the next ten minutes the Tower of Babel was a desert of silence compared to that dining room. Under the impression that the boil ers had bum, the officer of the deck went forward and uncoupled the fire hose. The waiter fled in que-t of the captain, who came down and quieted the incipient riot. The use of the mils of fare was explained in pantomime aud the diners were iustruc ed to make known their wants by pointing out tue di hes. Tne first girl who tried it designated pickled oysters ad ice cream as her choice, a second drew a pencil through the names of four different kinds of soup, motioning to tie waiter to bring them, ad when the third selected Canada mutton and straw berry jam the waiter gave it up inj despair. Afte. a long series of object 10-sous the "girls learned to give their orders in com; ound fractured English and the burden upon the m ain of the cockney servitor was lightened a little. On Feb. 27 a burning schooner came in view and ad hands went on deck to see the impressive sight. Not a si-n of life was visible about the vessel, an l as she had evi den lybeen deserted hours before, the Fur nessia did not stop. Last Monday a second erv of “fire” was raised, but this time the fiames were o:i boat'd, aid for a few mo ments a decidedly panicky feeling pre vailed. The steam pipe in the smoking room had ignited the wood work, and but for tlie prepuce of mind displayed by Joe Laro e, a tumoler, Barnum & Bailey’s cir cus might have gone to play an extended engagement af the bottom of the sea. Lan .so tore off his coat, threw it upon tue blaze and beat upon it with bis hands till the last spark wa-extinguished. Among the animals between decks near the stern was an extremely depraved young elepha it named Hat, whose genius for mis chief approached the phenomenal. Next to his lox was that of a gentle giraffe, in wnose rations were included a peck of car rots, a vegetable of which Hat was extremely fond. Day alter day he made fu ile at tempt to rob the giraffe wheu the keeper wasn’t looking, but met with constant fail ure. On the afternoon of March 1 H it’s temper gave way, and coiling his trunk about the giraffe’s neck he gave a long pull, a strong pull and a pull all together. Had his victim had a less elastic neck his career would have ended then and there, but it slowly stretched until a crowd of keepers had stuck enough pitchforks into Hat to in duce him to let go. He did so regretfully. Half an hour later his litt e red eyes espied a wire running along the beams above his box, and reac.iiug forth his trunk he gently pulled it. It gave. Then he pulled it a number of times. The vessel stopped and began to go backward at full speed. Down from the deck above floated vague sounds of profanity, and then an offi cer popped through the hatchway and caught Hat still eng iged in ringing up sig nals in the eugi .e-ro >m, with which the wire connected. The poking and prodding that he received rather crushed his playful spirit for tlie remainder of the voyage, and he lauded here a sorer but a wiser elephant. A benefit concert on the night of March 2 netted a good sum for the Home for Dis abled Seamen, ami presented a programme that was startling in its variety. There were nineteen numbers in all, embracing everything from sword swallowing to a cornet sol >, and encores were lavishly be sto ied. The only artist who refused one was the gentleman who chewed up a table glass in full view of the audience and with out the aid of a ret. The remainder of the voyage was entirely uneventful, the sight ing of land being the next and fi al exciting incident. Alth ugh the circus people carried nothing from E igland with tnem but the pleasantest of memories and a tendency to misplacing their “h’s,” they wore all de lighted to get home again. The general s ntiment upon this point was well expressed by a -Maine acrobat in a con fidential remark to Tody Hamilton. "Lunnon’s h’all right for a bit of a trip, ye know,” he said, “nut for steady livin’ give me H’A nerica.” Pettigrew’s Conundrum. From the Chicago Tribune. Senator Pettigrew of S uth Dakota is a perfect type of the bustling far-westerner, in same respects life at tha national capital is original to him. He -ays lie enjoys the receptions, afternoon teas, etc., just as Ward McAllister would like to revel about over a timber claim. “I’ll relate one incident,” said the senator, “that will give you some idea of the bright society people you often meet in Washing ton. 1 was at a little gathering a few days ago when, for want of i etter amuse ment, the hostess proposed that each guest propouud a conundrum. ‘What’s the dif ference between a man going out in the cold and a tired dog?’ Of course, that’s not exae ly elegant, but it served the pur pose. Nobody guessed it, so I answered: •One puts on an overcoat, the other pants.’ “The people seemed pleased, and one young lady laughed quite heartily. At a re ception a few nighis afterward, when the young lady who had laughed so heartily at the conundrum espied me in the room, she exclaimed to a group of friends: *O, I’ve an awfully funny conundrum, and it’s Ben tor Pettigrew’s, too!’ Then she told about the man going out into the cold and the tired dog. “ ‘Give it up,’ they answered. “ ‘One puts on an overcoat and the other trousers. Isn’t that cute?’ she explained. “The narrator was the only one who smiled. Naturally I felt like a four-flush. The young lady noticed that something was wrong, and said: ‘Now that’s queer. The joke doesn’t seem half so funny as it did wnen the senator told it. ’ I whispered that she should have said: ‘One puts on an overcoat and the other pants.’ Tired dog pants, you see? “Once more she attracted attention, ex claiming: ‘I made an awful mistake in giving the answer to that riddle. Here it is: "One puts on an overcoat and tie other pantaloons.” ’ “That was enough to make one weep, but all laughed for the sake of kindness. 1 never saw such a flat affair even at a Sioux Falls’ church sociable. Washington itself is all rigid, but wnen it comes to going on dress parade two or three times a week, why, after this fun, I am not in it.” A DEADLY RING. No Thief Would Touch the Precious Ornament on a atatue In Madrid. From the St. Louts Republic. A costly ring, unguarded by police or special watchman, hangs suspended by a silken cord around the neck of a statue ol the Maid of Almodena, the patron saint of Madrid, in on 6 of the beautiful parks in the Spanish capital. It is sat with diamonds a id pearls, no' withstanding which there is no daugor of its being stolen. The greatest thief in Madrid would not touch it any quicker than he would the plats on his own mother’s coffin. Its history is curious and interesting and equal to any thing found in mediaeval folk lore. The ring wa* made for K ng Alfonso XIL, who gave it to his couin, tne pretty Mercedes, on the day of their betro hal. She wore it during her short married life. On her death the king presented it to bis grand mother, Queen Christina. She died soon, and the king pas-ed the deadly little circle to his sister, Infan a del Pilar, who died witiiin the month. Again it started on its deadly rounds, next finding a place o i the finger of Chris ti a, t e youugCit daughter of the Duke of Moutpeusier, but in iess than three months she also was dead. Alpbonso next put the ring in bis own casket, and lived h ss than a year after s > doing. No wonder it safely uaugs on a s mtu ■in an unguarded square.

BOURNE, our head Millinery 1 a designer, is back with us again after a stay. of marly two mouths in the north,our iug which time she has been visiting in tho interest of this firm the most important millinery establishme t§ of that rection. During tho last two weeks of Miss Bourne’s stay her time was aim. st entirely occupied attending the grand openings of New York’s most ultra-f .sbionahie millinery empori ums. . The importance, to one in tho tr .de, of a visit 1 1 these openings can he appre ciated when it is known that only the cream of New York’s society nrs favored with cards of invitation, and these must be presemed at the entrance to those establish ments, or the visitor, tio matter what her soc.al standing may be, is debarred from entering what seems to be considered a consecrated spot. Our Mr. Altmayer, with chaincieristic shrewdno.s and foresight, noting the advan ages that would accrue to tile patrons of this house, procured, after no small amount of trouble, invitath us for Miss Bourne to visit these as ablGhments on opening days. The fruits of this kuowl edgo gained by a personal inspection of w hat is really considered high art in millin ery Mira Bourne prop, se* to exhibit t> the Savannah public at our GRAND OPENING ON MARCH 24th and 25th. Exact counterparts of the most popular styles, together with our importation of French patterns, for th.s season will be on exhibi tion. .Speaking of exquisite bonnets, said Miss Bourne, “1 think the most elegant of all I saw while attending the openings was a dainty little French pattern made of real point lace and forget-me-nots, and finished off with narrowr black velvet ribbons The exquite lovlinoss of the trims tiling seemed to dazzle and attract all visitors. It was marked sold, having been purchased for the modest sum of sso.’’ Miss Bourne promises to make ail exact copy of this beautiful b iiinet for our opening, using instead of real point laoe a quality such as no one can fail to admire; the price w ill not be over $10; quite a differ ence. Il’s an old adage that every seven years stylo repeats itself, and the beautiful Scotch Plaids for trimming that wore so popular several years ago are ngaiu the favoiites. These picturesque effects were given impetus by the marriage of the Prin cess Louisa with the Earl of Fife, who is of the Macduff clan. Asa bit of appreciative sentiment the prinross had severul bonnets in her wedding trousseau trimmed in the Macduff Plaid,and of course the fashionable world followed suit. It’s the elegance, the completeness, the general superiority of assortments over past years that will tend to make this tho most important Millinery soason in a decade. Tho dizzying and deiigiitful colorings of Crepes, Velvets and Ribbons that are to be worn fins season would mako any seif res pecting peacock turn w hito with envy. The Toque, Miss Bourne says, is predes tined to be the popular shape for early spring wear. In Miss Bourne’s twelve years practical expeneuce in the southern iniilinery trade she says she knows of no colors that are more becoming to tho bru nette beauties of the south than Corn Color and Orange, intermingled with Black Lace, which are some of tho prevailing shades this season. Black leghorns trimmed with large, styl ish bows of Biack Ribbon and hundsomo gilt ornaments are extremely stylish fur mis os and children. One of the leading Fifth avenue millinery establishments hail on exhibition a beautiful French pattern bo met which had the sim ple trimming of a large Alsatian bow of No. 40 and 00 ribbon. .Miss - Bourne will have on display at cur openiug an accurate reproduction of the abovesimple but elegant piece of headgear. The following are a few of the lending shapes this season: “i,A PETITE,” a stylish dress novelty after a French model. 'The crown is low, slanting to still lower back. Tho brim is moderately deep at front, rising at left with an open curved roll, formerly nu un derneath concave space for (lower trim ming. At right the brim rolls to an in— veried droop effect. “GENEST," a small stylish toque, sloping off from a medium front to small back. An ovei lay of braid to depth of an inch forms the brtin. “TERIIIBS,” a dress novelty having a low crown. The brim has a peculiar sweep down biward front at right side, rising with rocker curve to pom tod-up flare up at front, along left from back it roll* with boat effect to same p int. “INGRAM,” a dross-shade poke, having a Grecian crown with scoop tip. “CHELSEA,” a miss’ novelty. The low square crown is sunken into the brim; the brim has a Marie Hiuart droop at Cront, narrow at sides with a droop effect at oaoli point. “TATTIE,” a very natty hat novelty for a child. The crown is rounded, running off into brim edge at back. At sides tho brim droops slightly, at front it widens and deepens and has an elongated Marie Stuart depression at front point. The opening will take place MONDAY AND TUESDAY. MARCH 24 and 25 lust., and the Judies of Savannah are‘cordially in vited to come and partake of this great “feast for the eyes.” DRESS GOODS | DRESS TRIMMINGS, ETC. “Honest advertising creates public confi dence."

Some of these are as finely woven n* real luce, and they aro more than ever the favorite decoration for fine cos tumes.
