Another Vigorous Protest Against

yesterday against its pas*a_\aud yssterday

towj g resolutions were adopt)d:

tions anl thereby ent* i the coets and other
charges incident to litigation, should hear these
burdens, as the prescribed rates of interest in the
state are inadequate to cover them an l afford
the creditor classes even the lowest rate of
interest there in for the use of his money or the
credit granted; therefore, be it
Keso ved, Tuat this boiy respectfully request
our senators and re resentatives m tha legis-
Ia ureto secure for said Twitty bill the most
careful con si lerati n before a final act ion is bad
it. as, in th a opinion of this bodv. the pro
posed bill enacted into a would be ex
tremely injurious and damaging to both the
debtor and creditor classes iu our state, in that
it would tend to drive out of ttiestito large
sums of money now seeking employment here,
and tnat have mat wially aided in lowering the
prevailing rate of interest; in that it would drive
from tne mail of trade our own law-abiding
money lenders and creditor classes, and foster
the growth of an usurious class of ! -nders and
merchants, who for higher rates of interest
are w.l.ing to take the greater risks, and in
that w .ere tne greatest security to caplcai ex
ists. the lowest rates of interest prevail, our
state, as well as our people in their individual
and corporate capacities, would thereby bs
placed at a disa Ivantage with those stat s.
countries and communities where capital and

and proper laws can place around them.
Rea lived, fturthe ,T iatcooies of these reso

speaker of the House, the senator from the
First di.-trict, tne representatives fro n Chat

take action upon them immediately and
transmit the same to t-ieir local
senators and representatives, and that

THE SuOftHMAN’S GREAT DAY.
That on Which He Celebrates Et.
Andrew’s Memory.
To-day is St. Andrew’s day. St. Andrew
is the patron saint of Scotland, and was
adopted by tho Scottish people as their
representa ive. They sot him before them
selves as an example worthy of imitation.
St. Andrew was a fisherman; the first
called of the disciples: tie earnest, the
indefatigable, the successful missionary, the
martyr who w.liingly gave up his own life
for the cause of his master, tae saint whose
entire earthly career was without blot or
b! mish.
The Scot abroad celebrates St. Andrew’s
day as each year rolls around. He remem
bers how other Scots abroad have came 1
the good name of the motherland into every
corner of tne globe, and he notes with pride
tbat wherever the Scotchman has gone the
institutions of his country, and often the
example of bis own life and work, have had
their snare in improving and developing the
land in which he has dwelt.
There is a witchery about Saint Andrew’s
day to Scots in foreign lands which Sco s
in their own country can hardly reallz-,
and hence on each 30th of November,
whenever a few Scots can be found, they
meet toget er and in kindly fraternal fash
ion pledge their saint and their country.
While the memory of St. An
drew inspires Scotchmen, it also affords
them an opportunity of expressing their
sentiments toward ihe land in which they
live. The Scot is generous in his feast and
iuvites his friends and neighbors to sh >w
them how well he has solved the problem of
being at once loyal to the country he left,
a-:d to that in which he has taken up his
abode. Besides being typical of Sottish
nationality, of Seo.tisb w >rth and Scottish
perseveia ice, St. Andrew has beome
typical during the last century and a half
of Scottish charity.
St. Andre w societies in the Unite,! States
and Canad i are with few escoptions orga i
izod s Jeiy for assisti ig the poor and unfor
tunate. S:. Andrew’s day. besides being
tho time for the outpouring of natio lal
sentiments, closes a year of charitanle
work. So widespread are these societies,
so pure y beneficial are their aims, so pract
ical is their w rK, and so honorable their
record, that it may bo safely said they
have done more tha i any other agency to
make the name of Sc. Andrew respected
tbr ughout the new world.
The St. Andrew’s 8 iciety of Savannah
will celebrate its 140th anniversary at the
Screve i house to-morrow night, and the
occasion promises to bo one of more than
usual eclat.

EARNEST TEMPERANCE WOMAN
Who Wants to Put ao End to* Great
EviL
Editor Homing Sews: When I read at
the hea l of one of the c damns of vour
1 apor of Nov. 37, “Todd’s Quart Bill Lost,"
I just sat down and cried, I was so disap
pointed. But though cast down, I don’t
think we should feel altogether discouraged.
These efforts at least stow that there is a
growing sentiment in tavor of temperance,
and the hope is strong within me that the
duy is not far distant when our
beloved state wid have such laws as wiU
prevent men from making beasts of them
selves. In your paper of the same date was
a s.vn >ps:s of Mrs. W allace's lecture. Idn
not agree with h r in many things, but
there were grave truths in some of her
remarks. It is indeed so that the average
legislator respects most the wishes of that
class whose votes will re-elect him, and if
there is anything calculated to make
woman wish for suffrage at the polls,
■* this utter t disregard of
her wishes aud demands by the "powers
that be.” All revolu ions in the world’s
history have bad their source in oppression
lave been cause! by the indifference of
those in power to the claim* of the weaker
party. Will it be a matter of surprise
then if, in the future, the women of this
state line some of that exquisite modesty
and indisposition to court publicity which
now so prominently characterizes them,
take to lecturing, and cry out
for “w man’s ngnts.” Should this
come to pass, men of Georgia, at
your door will lie the responsib lity. 1
know there are many of the sterner sex
who feel as we do on the subject of intem
perance, but is it that they lack the wisdom
to make such laws as will rid us of the evil,
or is it courage and energy that are wanting
in the matter.'
There is tne Gold, however, in which
Christian temperan e mothers can do effect
ive work at ouce—in the nursery. Let the
little boys be taught all the evils
of intemperance, have read to them
ail the accouuts of murder aud
crime incited by ai .ohol, be told how each
poor wretch of a man started tiis downward
career by taking a single drink of beer or a
single glass of wine. And the little girls, ns
they grow up, let them be taught to avoid,
as they would the plague, a youth who
patronizes saloons; reso.utely to deciine
wine themselves, and to exclude it from
t e r entertainments. If this is done we
may hope for a better state of things in the
next generation than now ex is s.

A RACE WITH ROBBSBo.
The Poet of the Sierras Relates *
Thrilling Incident of Hie Youth.
Joaquin Hiller in St. Sicholos.
I was lying ice-bound at Lewiston, Id.
Men wanted to send money below t their
fr.e .ds or families; merchants, anticipating
the tremendous rush. mas. get letters
through the snow to Walla Walla. Would
I go; Could I go?
The sow was deep. The trails, over
open and monotonous mountains, were
drifted full. Could any living man face
the dr fti g snow and find his way to
Wa la Walla! At first the merchants had
triad to hire Indians to undertake the trip
rnd d-livecth-* letters. Not one could be
found to When the st irm a ated a
little, the men who kept the ferry across
theShoshou e iiver scrape 1 off the snow,
and. cutting and iwn the upheave! blocks
of ice, made it possible to cross with a
horse.
At first I meant to carry only letter*.
But, having finally consented to take a
little gold for one merchant, I soon found
I should lose friends if I did not take gold
for others. The result was that I hail to
take gold worth nearly #IO,OOO.
A few muffled-up friends came down to
the river bank to see ine off. It was a great
event. For two weeks we had not had a
line from tbe outer world. And, meantime,
the civil war was raging in all its terrible
fury. As l set out tnat bleak and icy morn
•ng, after i bad mounted my plunging p mv.
saw in the crowd several faces that 1
did not like. There was Dave English,
who was hanged on that spot with several of
his followers, not forty days later; there
was Bonne Helm,hanged in Montana, Chero
kee Bob, killed in Millersburg, an l also
Canada Jos. This last lived with sims low
Indian* a little way down the nwr. S>
when he rode ahead of me I was rather glad
than otherwise; for I felt that he would not
go far. I kept waten of him, howev r
And when I saw that he skulked around
u ider the hill, as if he were going hone,
and then finally got back into the trail, I
knew there was trouble ahead.
But the “Rubicon” was now behind. My
inmetuous horse was pi inging in tha suow,
aud I was soon tearing through tha storm
up the hill. Ome fairly on mv way I
looked back below. Dave English and
B >on Helm were bid ling good-by to two
mounted cowboys at tho ferry hou-e. Ten
minutes later, as I looked back through the
olinding snow, I saw that tnese two desper
ate fellows were following me.
True, there was nothing criminal in that.
Tbe two highwaymen had a right to rile
behind me if they wis led. And Canada
Joe hod lust as good a right to ride ahead
of me. But to be on a horse deep in the
blinding snow, aud loaded down with gold,
svas bad enough. To have a desperado
blocking the narr iw tra'l before you, with
his two friends behind yon, was fearful.
I had two six shooters close tit. hand under
the bearskin flap of my saddle bag where the
gold was. I kept my left hand in mv
pocket where lay a small six shoiter war u
and ready. Once, as tue drifting ami blind
ing snow broke away up the mountain, I
saw Canada Joe with bis head bent down in
thest rm still pushing on ahea.l of me at a
safe distance. A few moments after, as I
crossed and climbed tbe farthest bank of an
ugly canon, the two robbers came c ose
enough to hall trie. One of them held up a
bottle. They evidently Intended to over
take me if they could, and profess to be
friendly. This I must not allow. I urged
my ambitious horse to his best. But, to rav
dismay, as 1 hastened up a narrow pass. I
fouud that I was not far bebii and Cana la
Joe. Tais low-browed black fellow was
reported to be the worst man In all t lat
country. And that was saying he was bad
indeed.
I was in a tight place now, and had to
think fast. My first plan was to ride for
ward aud face this man before the others
came up. But l was really afr ml of him.
It sjemed a much easier task to turn and
kill the two rear me i and get back to t iwn.
But.no! No! All this wus ahandoie! al
most ai soon as thought of. In th ise days,
even the most desperate had certain rights
which their surviving friends would en
force.
I was now but a few hundred yards ha
hind Canada Joe. So far as I could find
out. the robbers were cl 'sing in on me. But
we had ridden over the roughest part of the
road and were within a few miles of tho
high plateau, so that the wind was tearing
past iu a gale, and the drifting snow almost
blindod me.
Suddenly I had anew thought. Why
not take to the left, gain the plateau by a
new route, and let these bloodthirsty rol>-
bers close their tet without having me
inside* I rose in my sahlle wth excite
ment at the idea, and, striking spurs to inv
bi ave horse, I was soon climbing up the
gradual slope at a gallop. Alii
but I was glad; Gallop] gal
lop! gallop! I seemed to hear many
h rses! Turning my head sud lenly over
ray shoulder, I saw my two pursuers not a
hundred yards behind me. They snouted!
I was now on the high plateau, and the
snow was not so deep. Gallop! gallop!
gallop! Canada Joe—thank heaven—was
away to the right, and fast falling bo lind.
Gallop! gallop! gallop! 1 was gaining on
■ the robbers, and they knew it. Fainter and
fainter came their curses and their shouts.
And then: Whiz! Crack! Thud!
I looked back and saw tbat they both had
(thrown themselves from tnoir saddles and
wore taking deliberate aim.
But to no Not one shot touched
me or my horse, and I reached the first
station and, finally, rode into Walla
Walla, with my precious burden safe aud
sound.
ODD SCARF PINS.
|
3omo Very Unique Adornmenta for
tue Necktie.
From the Neu) York World.
Loonard Grover of New York, the play
wright and author of “Our Boarding
-House,” wears a scarf pi 1 made of throa
suicide bullets. Oae caused the death of a
young lawyer in Meridon, Conn.; another
killed one of the Waiworths, and the third
shut off the unhappy life of a girl in Kun
sas City. The Walworth bullet passed
through the body of its victim and scarcely
changed its shape, but tho other two an
more or les3 battered.
Henry S. Ives, the ex-Napoleon of fl mnee,
wears a pin which looks like a signboard.
On It is the imerintion “8—x —£7.” But
what it means Mr. Ives never tells. Per
haps it is a secret, society secret, or possibly
a reiic of loves lung dead.
The rattlesnake rattle pin of Arthur Wat
lack has been seen by everybody who ia ac
quainted with him. There are only four
buttons nd a rattle, but the snake—so M%
Wullack says—looked to him as though it
was a million years old, and large for its
ago.
Julius Nathan wears a diamond rooster,
and he has been known to remark that it
glittered on good financial days aud ap
pea ed dim when money wastignt.
Y. M. Oi.derdonk, kaown as young Mr.
Onderdonk, wears a pair of crossed sabers.
They are made of porcupine quills, aud
each has a basnet hilt of woven g id.
Cite. Onativfa. who poses as Berry Wall’s
successor in the dudeship kingdom, wears
three pink pearis on a circlo of gold. Tne
pin is rich looking, and its owner claims
that the proverbial good luck of piuk
pearls has foil >wed it.
| Dr. Wilde carries in his tie a reiic, held by
| gold wire, of a remarkable surgical opera
! tion, which was performed in a Boston
I (-iass.) dental college. It is a prone of a
l tooth which grow to such an extent
i that it appear, and through the superior
i maxillary, and threatened to kill the pa
■ tient. it was removed by the doctor who
I wears it.
Chaney Jenkins, ex.commodore of the
‘ Larchniont Yacht Club, w-nrs in bis i e k
• tie a green carbu c!e, which he brou ;ht
| from Burmah, where he spent nearly two
! years. Ihe stone i3 vaiuabls and unique,
i Bamn Hupman is very fßnd of a fac
j simi e of the student cap wofe by his corps
iu Heidelberg, ibe baron won tho pm
from his carps iu a saber daej.
Thanes Stevenson, faus-a'd of Kate
Cayten, wears an ameth *t face, with
pearl edgings, which wa* pre-ented him
by me nbers of the Lamb.’ Club.
Cecil Barrii gton is very proud of a cameo
in jasper and beryl, an odd combination,
which George Montague, late Viscount
Mar.deviUe and now Duke of Manchester,
gave him.
J. G. 11 Thummel-Clcete, a journalist of
fame, who was wit i the Fr nch m Tonquin,
Ci ma, has probably one of the meet unique
pins. He was shot by a Chinese soldier
and part of his splmtered shoulder was ex
t acini by the surgeon. He i probably
the only man who cau boast of having his
suoulder blade on his breast bone, whero,
gold m unted. it shines in his black scarf.
The necktie pins of the young ru >n of t e
city, it thus ap; ears, ge o-al y run to oddi
ties or to s> .me-hing with a historv.
H. M. Slsiwr, who is wcil-known among
New Yorker* who frequent tue Gilsey
ho uno, would not part with tbe little
splinterof gun ' arrel which he carried in
his side for years and now wears in his tie,
for any >um of money. A desperado whom
Mart Dugan, then the marshal of Lead villa,
CoL, was looking for, lay in wait for Dugan
on a Sunday about four years ag . He hid
in the busi es near the Evergreen lakes.
When Mr. Slater drove by the desperate
man raised himself from the bushes and
oMuted tho gun at him. Mr. Slater grabbed
the would-be assassin, when the gun. which
was overcharged, exploded, killing its
owner and sending a part of tho barrel into
Mr. Slater’s aide.
