BARBERS MAY KEKP OPEN
A M4JORI T OF ALDERMEN WANT
TO B UVE SUNDAYS.
The Ordinance to Close the Barber
Shops Def a tod by One Vote-Some
of the Reasons Why the Aldermen
Voted Against tbe Ordln nee-The
Sunday Lew Changed So as to Al
low the Hotels to Sell Cigars—Other
City Matters.
The lira jvgolar meeting of tbe new city
council last night did not adjourn until
within haif an hour of midnight. Tbe
board cauro-ed for an boor and a half be
fore oomii g into tbe long room. All tbe
aldermen ■. Ith the exception of Alderman
Caun, were present.
Tbe most important matter before tbe
board was ebetuer tbe barber shops should
be allo wed to keep open Sundays.
Alderman Cars m offered an ordinance, at
tbe suggestion of Mayor McDonough, order
ing all barber shorn to aloes at 12 o'clock
Saturday eight and to remain closed until
tbe same hour Sunday night. After Clerk
He borer concluded tbe reading of the ordi
nance Alderman Cars a naked unanimous
content to pas it to a second reading and
place it on its passage Alderman Hai eg
objected, but afterward withdraw bis ob
jection in order to get a general expre as.ou
of tbe members on the question.
OPPOSED TO aCWDAY CLOSIKQ.
Alderman Bailey opposed tbe ordinance
on toe ground that it struck at a business
which is of tbe greateel convenience to ttte
public. He saw no more reason far closing
Barber shops tuan there was for dosing
livery stables.
Alder mail Raid opposed it on tbe ground
that many tnen have to work hard all the
week and are too tired on .Saturday night to
get she red. He thought if tbe ordinance
wa i passed it rr ignt compel many people to
ramain away from their religions duties, as
they do not care to go to church with
bearded faces.
Mayor McDonough said that he was not
in sympathy ei nor with the j-urneymen
barcers or boases. but be thought that the
allowing of barber shops to remain open
Sundays is ciaas legislation, as all other
kinds of business places are oompalled to
close on Sunday.
Alderman Carton heartily supported tbe
mayor in bis efforts te enforce the Sunday
law, and thought the ordinaace right and
proper.
BRA Visa AS NECK MART AS BATHING.
Aldermen Myers opts ted the ordinance
on general principles. He considered a
■have on Sunday to many people as neces
sary as the washing ef the face. He did not
think the closing or t.e stupe on Sunday
would have tbe desired effeo., as tbe jour
neymen barbers would g > around to private
bouses and shave people at 26 and 50 oenta.
Ti e ayes and nays were caiiad for, and
(•suited in the defeat of the ordinance. The
▼ote was as follows:
Aye-—McGuire, Mills, Harris, O'Brien
and Carson.
Nays—Bailey, Harmon, Bald, Myers,
Baines and Meidrim.
Alderman Keid raised a laugh by first
voting yea, b-t quickly changed to nay,
announcing that be had made a mistake.
TO INCREASE THE MAYOR'S POWERS.
The next question to raise a breeze, was
tbe following ordinance offered by Aider
man Meldriui, to give tbe mayor more
authority in toe enforcement of this Sunday
law:
An ordinance to amend an ordinance passed
on July 27. \’M, conce-ulnx the observance of
the SaObsiii or Lord's day in the city of isivan
nah.
Section 1. Be it ordained by the mayor and
aldermen of the city of Savannah in council
assembled. That the ordinance above referred
to, wnich Is set out on page* 131 and 132 of the
book of ordinances from 1853 to 1858, and on
1 age 13.1 of the code of the ordinances of trie
city of savannah, entitled. “Savannah City
Code, 1871,” be, and the same is hereby
amended, in that portion of the said ordinance
wr i' li dee s with the penalty, so
tea: the some shall read as follows:
"If any person or p r-on* s.ail violate any of
the provisions of this ordinaace he. she or they
she’:, upon conviction ther of before the police
court of the city of baTaanan. be bned in a sum
not exceeding S!UO or unyrieoned in tbe jail of
Chatham county not exceeding thirty davs,
cither or both, in the discretion of the court.’’
Sac. 2. That so inocu of the said ordinance
which provides that one-half of the fine shall
be paid to the informer is hereby reiiealed. and
the penally herein provi led f r shall not affect
tbe pr.Tie.ou* of tee 13th section of the tax
ordinance concerning the forfeiture of the
hceuM of a beiroom.
IN FAVOR OF THE HOTELS.
Alderman Myers offered the following
amendment, which was accepted by Alder
man Meidrim:
This ordinance shall not be so construed as to
prevent hotels in tne city of .Savannah selling
cigars or papers to their guests.
la support of his tin* ld.uent Alderman
Myers said that be believed a hotel should
be allowed to furnish its guests with any
thing needed, and tuat the authors of tbe
original ordinance never intended it to be
otherwiseoons rued.
Alderman Larson did not see why hotels
should be allowed to sell cigars and drug
stores restricted. One has as much right as
the other.
Mayor McDonongh did not believe it is
proper to give any corporation rights which
are not accorded to the individual.
Alder nan Meidrim said he was willing to
support tbe may or in tbe enforcement of ail
jut ordinances, but be was opposed to put
ting .Savannah back iu the same position as
the old Puritan* bad this country, when a
man was not allowed to kiss his wife on
Sunday.
Tne question was called for and resulted
in tbe adoption of the ordinance as aine (led,
Alderman McGuire being the only oue vot
ing against u.
THE PARK KEEPERBHIP.
Mayor McDonough announced a vacancy
In the position of keeper of Forsyth park,
caused by the death of Mr. Moves.
Alderman Carson moved tbe election of a
successor to Mr. Mevee be postponed In
definitely.
This brought Alderman Bailey to his feet,
lie s&iil that he passed .hr ugh the park
yeeterday morning, and be noticed that it
was very much in *.oed of some oue to look
after iu affairs.
Alderman Harmon asked Alderman
Bailey to specify what he meant, or state
just w ere tue park had been uegleo ed.
Alderman Bailey replied, tartly, t at he
did not stop to‘ptck up tue pieoes, hut tue
gras. pla s were al growing up with weed*.
Aidei man Meld run raid the only thing
Buvaiinati has to beautify is its squares and
park. He thanked Aide, man ilarmon for
the interest be h and shown in keeping them
in order, but with all dne consideration for
his past services the attention of a com
petent horticulturist to look after the park
he regards as necessary, or in a short whils
it would be a neglected spot.
Alderman O’Brien tnought the selection of
the k' eper ought to oe left to the street and
lane committee. Whe a man is elected by
council he I,a-, to be retained fra specified
time whether he gave satisfaction or not,
whils be chairman of the street and lane
committee could discharge nls man if he
found him ine impotent and replace him
With a butt, r one.
Alter cons derable other discussion of the
?[uestiou Alderman Carson’s motion was
urmaily adopted.
THE EXTRA COMMITTEES.
Mayor McDonough announced the follow
ing committees:
bjacial Committee on Railways—Aider
men Myers, Harmon, Carson, Bailsy and
Cann.

men Cann, Meldrim, Haines, Harmon and
O’Brien

Several members of the party who were
armed with kodaks teemed very anxious to

thrown, and aeraral times they were
gathered into groups, but each time some
inisetjtevous excursionist would toe a
nickei into the group before the kodaks
could get ia their work, and tbe kids would
tumble ail over themselves.

TBE COLD WAVE DROPS IN.
Tbe Mercury Expectad to Oo to Freez

The small end of the cold wave dropped
does yesterday and bod a very chilling
effect upon tbe atmosphere. It waa cold
compared with the weather of tbe last
several days. The minimum temperature
was only 41*. however. Nevertheless over
ouata were very pleasant things to have
yesterday.
The weather grew considerably colder
last night and mercurv will probably reach

Tbe reports received at the signal office
last night showed very cola weather
throughout the north and we.t At St. Paul.

hon, Dublin and Savannah railroad, was be
fore the city council in caucus for three
quarters of an hour last night, endeavoring
to get rights of way for his company, which,
be says is anxious to come to Savannah.
Mr. Smith asked for tbe same rights and
privilees as were granted to the South
Bound. Brunswick has offered bis
road terminal facilities, but the
promoters would rather come to Savannah
if they can get anything like reasonable
rights of war. The council took the matter
under advisemmt,
Mr. Smith said that the men behind this
enter pise meant business, and almost any
one of them individually Is able to build
the road.

THE MUSIN CONCERT.
Tbe Second of the Young Men’s He
br*Dr Association Eerlea Last Night.
Tbe second of tbe series of concerts under
the auspices of tbe Young Men’s Hebrew
Association was giren at Masonic ball last
night by tbe Ov.de Mnain Concert Com
pany. Tbe audience was both a fashionable
and critical oue.
■ wa* beard in Savannah In two
concerts las* season. The oompany this
year is tbe same as that of last year with the
exception ef Miss Inez Par i.ater and Ksri
Storr. the Utter of whom, a young German
bant one who has not yet mastered tbe
E gliah language, sings in place of Signor
Bologna.
M.ss Par mater is a mezzo-soprano,
with a voice of wonderful clearness.
She was suffering from a severe cold
last night, still she sang with excellent ef
fect. Miss Annie Louise Tanner has a phe
nomenal voice of great sweetness and mar
velous range. Har singing, as in former
concert* in which she has been heard in
Savannah, oompietely carried the audio.ice.
Mr. Eduard Sciiarfs piano playiDg, next
to that of Mr. Sherwood, who was here lost
week, waa the most brilliant recently heard
in Savannah. Mr. Scharf is an artist. He
has a complete mastery of the piano, and
hi* pUylng was received with great en
thusiasm.
Musln’s violin playing wss, of course,
the feature of the concert. Mustn is
a violinist of international reputation,
aad be more than sustained what
has frequently been said of him heretofore
by bis renditions lost nighr. He has
played in public since his 11th year, anl bos
traveled from T bolk, in Siberia, to San
Francisco. The routine of bis productions
was something remarkable, and every pieoe
dre v forth rounds of applause.
His playing of popular maiio adds to the
interest In his concert*. He was on the
programme for two solo selections last
night, but instead of two he played, in
response to repeated calls, six.
The c mcert throughout wav from every
standpoint a success. An annoyance which
is frequently experienced in Masonic ball
during concerto was experienced last night.
The Masonie lodge room ia above the con
cert hall, and the noisy antics of the breth
ren interfered with the rendering of some of
tbe best selections.

AFTiR BARB BALL AGAIN.
Charleston Kesps Up the Talk of a
New Southern League.
Charleston is anxious for another season
of base ball. The base ball enthusiast of
the News and Courier says: “Since national
base ball matters have been set.led and a
new agreement has been reached by all the
leagues and a national board appointed,
there is some interest among local base ball
enthusiasts to know wbat is to be dons in
tbe south for tbe game.
“Quite a number of admirers of the ball
tossers bavo express-d a desire to have a
sens nof good base ball. They think that
with about six ulu s from Georgia, South
Carolina and North Carolina tbe league
could bo made to pay and offer good sum
mer amusement. They are inclinad to the
opinion that it will not be necessary to have
teams composed entirely of professionals,
but that a law may be mode and enforced
allowing so many professional players to
each city.
“Should any of the other cities in the
Eastern circuit make the advance it is
pretty certain that Charleston cau be
counted upon to be represented. It is quite
probable that a number of tbe league play
ers of last season will be dispensed with
under the new national arrangement, and
will be glad to receive engagements with
southern clubs.”

ABSOLUTE IX PURE
WHEN MABhl GE IS A FAILURE
Hev. Cee >ar Taylor Enlightens Hts
Colored Brethren and slaters on
That Bine.
Rev. Car.ar A. A. Taylor (colored) lect
ured at St. Phillip’s African Methodist
Episcopal church, on New street, last night,
on “When Marriage is a Failure.”
A Mobitiko News reporter was one
of the small audience that attended
the lecture. About one hundred
persons had gathered in the church by 9
o’clock at which time Rev. Taylor begua
his lecture. While waiting for the crowd
to gather the lecturer put in the time sing
ing hymns. He has a good voice,but a- be
style of singing few of his brethren were
had evidently cultivated the “white people’*”
able to join him.
Taylor is an intelligent looking man about
30 years of age, of dark brown co-n pier lon,
medium weight and very neatly dressed.
The circular announcing his lecture,
which bean his picture at the head, • peats
of him as secretary of the republican or
ganization of New York city. etc., the “boy
philosopher, an extensive cosmopolitan trav
eler. writer and lecturer upon every subject
oonoeivable.”
Among the subjects s’ated upon which
he will lecture are “Bible and Scientific
Re isons for the Diversity of Co'or, Hair
and Language Among Men,” “Hell
Located, Described and Measured by
Be enee and the Bible,” Origin and
Destiny of {Created Things,” “Science and
Religion” and a cumber of other equally ab
struse subjects, demonstrating the philoso
pher's wide range of thought and informa
tion. “The above," says the prospectus,
“are but few of the many subjects ably
treated by tbe di tinguisned lecturer. His
discourses include illustrated and experi
mental lectures in chemistry, geology, as
tronomy, metaphysics, moral philosophy,
social science, political economy, magnet
ism, menmensm, electricity, optics,
hygiene, anatomy and elocution. He de
livers explanatory lecture also on “Tariff
and Revenus,” “Protection and Fres Trade,”
etc.
Taylor was introduced as “Rev. C. A. A.
Taylor, pastor of Mount Olive Baptist
Church, of Johnstown, Pa”
He began his lecture by saying that ha
would not enter directly upon his subject,
but would state the requirements of a
public lecturer, whom he proceeded
to explain at length, must be
qualified to instruct his hearers
in useful knowledge. His lauguags was en
tirely too high flown for the comprehension
of his audience, abounding in florid phrases
and large words.
The Becond part of his discourse was
called "Never,” and consisted of a number
of little paragraphs which be read
from a little pamphlet, instructing
the women what kind of a man
they should never marry. The list
Included about all tbs advice of press and
pulpit, w.ea and otherwise, for the last
forty years to women, on the subject of
whom they should never marry. It was
entirely inapplicable to the oondition
of his hearers, aud it would have been as
well it be had “never” read it.
A half hour spent in discussing the two
heads brought him up to tbe subject of his
lecture. "When Marriage is a Failure," into
which he launched with a surprising flu
ency of diction and swing of rhetoric,
considering the hesitancy which
had previously affected him. He
bad his manuscript iu hand and male
occasional reference to it. The subj set was
divided tn’o thirty beads or paragraphio
remarks, fifteen of which were addressed to
the men and fifteen to the women, and
which included every i ossible occasion of
domestic disturbance, undereach aud every
one of which tbe speaker pronounced mar
i iage a failure.
Marriage is certainly a failure, according
to the view or views of the Rev. Taylor.
Upon each head he commented, and in so
doing showed to the best advantage.
It was interesting to observe
how one moment he poured
forth a flow of language in the style of tbe
oollegs graduate and tbe next minute
dropped into the negro idiom and style of
smile, unknown to himself, however. His
humorous remarks in tbe latter style were
most appreciated bv his audience.
The lecture lasted about au hour. The
audience at its close sang “Come Tnou
Fount of Every Blessing,” led by Taylor.
Taylor announoed that he bad a book for
saie entitled, “The Negro Race, Retrospect
ive and Prospective," of which he is the au
thor, and whloa is retailing at 25 oents per
copy. _______

Messrs. Lippman Bros., Savannah Ga.—Dear
Sirs: I would like to add rnr testimony to the
almost miraculous effect of P. P. P. in the case
of Mary Ingraham, a woman living on m v place.
She had a constant cough, sore throat, debility,
etc., and was emaciated to a degree that she was
uuabie to get out of bed unaided. Being giv:*u
up by physicians, she had taken the ruinous so
ca led blood medicines without the least effect,
until being put under the P. P. P. she immedi
ately began to Improve, and is now in as good
health as ever in her life. You can refer to me
at any time as to the effect of P. P. P. in the
foregoing case. Yours truly,

There is a great deal of curiosity at the
beginning of the year to know how the
Mutual Reserve Fund Life Association, the
chief among the assessment organizations,
has fared during the preceding year. While
the annual statement of the company is not
yet completed, the following figures were
furnished us: The applications received
during the year were upward of *41,000,-
000 of insurance; the amount written ex-
ceeded $35,000,000; death claims paid
during the year exceeded $2,000,u00; the
total amount of death claims paid
to date is about *10,000.1.00; the cash reserve
fund exceeds $2,800,000; the increase of
surplus for 1890 was over $500,000; the in
crease t insurance in force is about $15,-
000,000; this makes an aggregate of insur-.
ance in force at the cloie of the year or
$196,000,000. The year was a prosperous
on# for the association in every respect, and
it enters upon the new year stronger finan
cially than ever before, aud with an execut

Mr. , Savannah, Oa
Dear Sir —With apologies I address you
these few line#. While on a recent trip
south I read a synopsis of Mr. T. V. Pow
derly’s lecture, published in the Morning
News, wherein he claims that if your city
would amend her laws su as to prohibit tax
ati >n, your advancement in increased pop
ulation would exceed the most sanguine
expectations of Savannah's loudest boomer.
It is an easy matter to advance au idea,
but it requires more than conception to ex
ecute it. Believe me, sir, I have the highest
regard for Mr. Powderly. He has done more
real good to advance the laboring man
than any other one man I know of, and to
what extent are his efforts appreciated?
