BOOK NOTICES.
Fashionable Sins. By Stella Chapman.
The Minerva Publishing Company, 48
University, New York. Paper, 25 cents.
ThU is one of the Minerva series of stories,
and an interesting one it is.
MAGAZINES.
The March Century has a third install
ment of the famous Talleyrand Memoirs.
This installment deals with Napoleon Bona
parte, Josephine and the Emperor Alex
ander. The California series this month
takes up the Fremont explorations, first
with a brief paper giving a resume of the five
explorations; second, wita a pap?r by Mrs.
Fremont on the “Origin of the Fremont
Explorations”; a ia third, with a posthumous
narrative of tbe terrible experiences of the
fourth expedition,under the title of “Rough
Times iu Rough Places,” it being a personal
record of Micajah McGehee of Missi-sipi.
Included are portraits of Thomas H. Ben
ton, the late George Bancroft, from a
dagurreotype, Mrs. Fremont, from a minia
ture, and a drawing of Fro no.it’s address to
the Indians at Fort Laramie, also portraits
of Jim Bridger, Alexis Godey and Charles
Preuss, besides other illustrative material.
Mrs. Fremont tells how she disobeyed > rders
of the war department sent to her husband,
and the McGehee narrative gives a graphic
account of starvati n experiences of the ill
fated fourth expedition. The number is full
of good things. The Century Company,
Union square, New York.
The March number of the North Ameri
can Review opens with “Further Recollec
tions of Gettysburg,” contributed by four
of the active participants in that famous
light—Gens. Sickles, Gregg, Newton and
Butterfidd. This series of articles is a sup
plement to that printed in the previous
number from the pens of tne Count of Paris
and others. “Tbe Future of the Sandwich
Islands”—a very timely topic, in view of the
recent death ot King Kalakaua —is discussed
in apointed manner in a concise article fur
nished by Claus SpreekeK An answer to
Mrs. Kate Gannett W ell’s article in the
February number on “Why More Girls Do
Not Marry” is prevented by Mrs. John
Sherwood, whose bright and interesting—
and too brief article—is entitled "Why
Women Marry,” One of the uppermost
politico-financial topics of the period, the
silver question, receives adequate treatment
at the hands of tbe Hon. Edward Owen
Leech, the dsrector of the mint, in “The
Menace of Silver Legislation.” North
American Review, No. 3 East Fourteenth
street, New York.
With the number for March, The Forum
begins its eleventh volume. Throughout
the whole period of the ten volumes now
finished, the publishers announce that there
has beer, aa uninterrupted increase of their
business —an indication of the steady
growth of the popular interest in the free
discussion of the most important subjects of
the time. So great has been tho growth of
the magazine that it is necessary to procure
larger office room than the quarters now
occupied by The Forum , which, three years
ago, seemed large enough for an indefinite
period. One of the most i terestine articles
in the current number is on “The Nicaragua
Canal,” by John Sherman. It is an explana
tion of the report by the Senate committee
in favor of an appropriation; the cornmer
cial and international significance of the
undertaking. The Forum Pub’ishing Com
pany, 253 Fifth avenue, New York.
The chapters of Mr. Stockton’s “House of
Martha” which are given in the Atlantic
for March introduce the “Lady who sits on
the Sand,” the “Middle-aged Man of the
Sea,” the “Shell Man,” the “Lover-in-
Check," the “Interpolation,” and last, but
not least, a “Per* >n." The Rcene of the
story is transferred from the neighborhood
of the House of Martha to two islands,
called respectively the Racket and the Tan
gent. Miss Murfree’s serial ends in tbe
present number, and ends tragically. There
is an interesting paper about Richard Grant
White, contributed by Francis P. Church,
and in a bright autobiographic fragment,
entitled “My Schooling,” we are told of
Janies Freeman Clarke’s early educational
training. Houghton, Miffln&i Cos., Boston.
The March Magazine of American
History opens with a careful study of the
publio carser of “Gen. Francis E. Spinner,
the Financier,” by Rev. Isaac S. Hartley, D.
D., a paper of great interest including a
graphic description of Gen. Spinner's partiu
the conception and issue of the "green
backs” in the time of the late civil war. The
fidelity of Gen. Spinner to the money inter
ests of the government won for him the
memorable sobriquet “The Watch Dog of
the Treasury.” The second article Is a de
lightful story by Hubert Howe Bancroft of
his varied experiences in bringing out his
first book, describing his literary pilgrimage
from California to visit the notable authors
of Boston and New York. The number is a
strong one. Magazine of American History,
743 Broadway, New York.
Soribners Magazine for March contains
two striking articles ot exploration and ad
venture—ilr. Mounteney Jephson’s account
of one of tbe most excitiug periods of the
Emin Pasha relief expedition, and Mr. M.
B. Kerr’s description of the latest attempt
to reach tbe summit of Mount Bt. Elias in
Alaska. The former is illustrated with
sketches by Frederic Villiers, made under
Mr. Jephson’s personal direction, and the
latter from photographs made by the expe
dition. The number is also notable for its
fiction, containing four short stories, by
Mrs. Rotiert Louis Stevenson, Richard
Harding Davis, Duncan Campbell Scott and
W. H. Woods—all of them writers whoso
first short st >ries have appeared in this
magazine. Charles Scribner’s Sons, New
York.
The charming personality of the Princess
of Wales in public has won her hosts of
warm friends, but in The Ladies' Home
Journal for March Lady Elisabeth Hilary,
her almost constant attendant and a very
intimate friend, gives us a glimpse at the
Princess in her private life—a sweet woman
and a sterling wife and mother, worthy
all the admiration which is bestowed upon
her. The article is richly illustrated,ami will
attract as wide attention as will Mrs. P. T.
Barnura’s discussion, “Moths of Modern
Marriages,” w gch appears in the same
number. Ladies’ Home Journal, 443 and
445 Arch street, Philadelphia.
THE MORNING NEWS: MONDAY, MARCH 2, 1891.
In Harper'e Magazine for March tho first
article, by Mr. Theodore Child, upon the
“Argentine Capital,” is full cf timely infor
mation and the Illustrations are exceedingly
interesting. Mr. Francis Korbav ha* an
excelle t essay upon “Nationality in Music”
and upon the peculiarities of the music of
Hungarv. Mr. Laurence Hutton discusses
“The Literary Landmarks of Edinburgh” iu
very attractive styie. The palm of artistic
excellence and beauty in this number must
be giv< n to Mr. Abbev lor his drawings . f
the characters ia tne “Comedy of Errors.”
Harper Brothers, New York. *
St. Nicholas for March is an excellent
number. From the picture of cozy com
fort which J. H. Dolph has furnished
for a frontispiece to tbe nuitx idea con
tai' ed in the last bit of verse, “Her Little
Shetland Shawl,” there is nothing that an
intelligent boy or girl cannot understand
and appreciate, and yet all the contents are
unhackneyed and. In the best sense of the
word, artistic. Century Company, Union
Square, New York.
The Cosmopolitan Magazine tor March
is one ot the best numbers ever issued by
that periodical. Tbe illustrations are ex
ce.lent and the reading matter is of the
best. “Beauty on the French Stage,” by
Edward Mohe, is an article that will attract
much attention. The short stories are very
readable, ad the miscellany is of a high
standard. The Cosmopolitan, Fifth avenue
and Broadway and Twenty-fifth street.

THE BOBS.R FoVILLE FIRE.
Chief Puder Discovers a Kerosene-
Soaked Sack Under the House.
Chief Fireman Puder investigated yester
day morning’s Robertsville fire, mention of
which wae made in the Morsino Niws,
and found sufficient evidence to prove that
a deliberate attempt had been made by in
cendiaries to burn the house. It stands
well off the ground, and someone crawled
under and stuffed a crocus sack saturated
with kerosene alongside of the chimney
place, and ignited it. The bag was only
partly burned.
Rankin, the negro who occupied the
house, has been only living there a short
tune, and be said he did net know of any
enemies wbo could have desired to destroy
his little belongings.
The Japanese Village.
The novel entertainment continues to
attract, and as performances continue the
audiences item to increase; in faot, one can
easily visit the exhibitions over again and
it will not become monotonous. The Japs
are wonderfully skillful, and the ladies are
much interested in their handiwork.
After the ooncert to-night the orchestra
will play for a hop complimentary to those
of the audience who care to remain for
dancing. Miss Black’s dancing class has
been tendered an invitation for the
hop this evening. There will be no matinee
or evening performance to-morrow, as the
hall will be put in the decorators’ hands for
the Purim ball to-morrow night. At
Wednesday’s matinee the children of the
orpnar.s’ asylums will be admitted free.
The exhibitions and concerts will continue
the balance of the week, afternoon aud

PUTTING ON EXTRA MUoOLE.
Savannah Athletes in tbe Gymnasium
and in tbe Field.
The athletic spirit among the young men
of Savannah hat taken an upward turn
during the past week or ten days, due do
doubt to the recent field day at Brunswick,
where the local Young Men’s Christian
Association team swept the field with the
Augusta and Atlanta delegations.
At the gymnasiums of the Catholic
Librai y and Y oung Men’s Christiau asso
clatio s increased interest has been manifest
in outdoor as well as indoor sports. Mem
bers that never practiced on the apparatus
have provided themselveß With costumes,
and have, during tbe last few days,
attempted feats that showed wonde ful
daring, if not caution ad those whose
interest in sports heretofore was of the
desultory sort have renewed their youthful
vigor, and are hard at work putting them
selves iu condition for future triumphs on
unknown fields.
Prof. Carmichael of tbe Young Men’s
Christian Association will take a ois out
does one evening a week, and will exercbe
them in running, jumping, shot-putting
and hammer throwing. This progi sunn
is received with enthusiasm by tne bo\s
who witnessed the state contest at Bruns
wick, and several havealready declared that
they will be on band at the next annual
competition. Thi- organisation will pm a
ball team in the field .his season, and from
tbe available talent a good niue will no
doubt be selected.
The members of the Catholic Library
Association have been benetitted by the
services of Prof. Ryan ot New York. He
is an able gymnast and tho enthusiasm his
connection with associations aroused has
been the means of securirg a large regular
attendance at his class drills. This enthusi
asm, developing with eaoh day of the pro
fessor's stay, finally culminated n a recent
afternoon’s trip to the race track at Thun
der oolt Competition in sprinting, middle
distance running, jumping of all kinds,
shot putting and ball throwing were in
dulged in. Alout twenty-five contestants
were present, and of these thirteen started
and finished in a half unle run. There
is considerable dormant talent
among the members, which could be de
veloped into marked ability with competent
instructions and proper practice. This as
sociation has also the material to make up a
strong base ball team, and intends to get
together a nine that will be able to cope
with that contained in the rank- of any
local organization during the coming sea
son. The nine will begin regular practice
before the end of the month, and will no
doubt be heard from later.
MBRCBAN S’ WEEK NiW&
The Committee at Work Getting the
Programme In (shape.
The Pompeiian committee will meet to
night at the Travelers’ Exchange. Ar
rangements have not all been quite com
pleted, but sufficient has been done to in
sure success for tnis feature. The 100 ition
and other details are in abeyance unt 1 the
street railroads will display sufficient liber
ality to influence the location adjacent to
their lines, without which assistance it may
be necessary to locate further out.
It was suggested that Ten Brock course
would be oonvenient, and the Central r 11-
road would no doubt co operate cheerfully.
James D. Lee, an expert advertiser, will
arrive by to-day's New York ship a.id will
at once proceed to work up the advertising
connected with the celebration. He will
boom Merchants’ week in all the towns
within a radius of several hundred miles.
The trades display oommittee hug received
quite a number of replies to its queries.
Some are quite characteristic, but -uflioient
encouragement has not yet been displayed
to warrant a trades display this year. The
obstructing overhead wires are also quite a
serious obstacle, as no float could be uver 13
feet high.
Col. Gordon has not yet definitely deter
mined upon a site for the cavalry eno imp
ment, but other preparation* assure one of
the largest oaralry displays which has besn
witnessed south since the war.
Traveling men report that the greatest
interest is being manifested everywhere.
RAIL AND CAOSSTia.
The Georgia railroad will soon ohange
the color of its cars from the canary bird
yellow to something of salmon color.
Articles of incorporation of the Orlando
and Mosquito Inlet Railroad Company have
bnen filed with the secretary of state of
Florida. The capital stock is $250,000. The
company will build through Orange and
Volusia counties, runniug between Orlando
and Mosquito Inlet.
In view of the fact that a large number
of passengers afflicted with pulmonary com
plaints are carried on French railroads on
ttieir way to southern dist icts, it has been
found expedient to adopt measures to insure
thorough disinfection of tbe bedding in the
sleeping cars and of the seat cushions. The
velvet cushions and siik curtains will bo
abandoned, and tbe seats will bo fitted with
soft leatker coverings which can be easily
cleaned. Coarse carpets are to be substi
tuted for those of finer quality now in use,
and these are to be thoroughly beate-i after
every trip. The bed clothes will be steamed,
and the mattresses covered with impervious
silk or with gutta-percha. Besides all this,
it is considered desirable to provide isolated
compartments for passengers suffering from
pulmonary disease.
A railroad time table, governing the run
ning of trains on any road of considerable
length, is one of the most important things
in the management. The preparation of
such a table is a very ingenious bit of work,
and is thus described by a railroad man:
1 he means employed are the simplest sort —
common pins and spools of colored threads
in connection with a largo sheot of draw
ing paper mounted on an easel, i bis paper
is called a time chart. The chart is ruled
either for two, five or ten minutes’ time by
horizontal lines and perpendicular cr< ss
lines. The “time” is marked above t e Hori
zontal lines and the distances or stations and
of terminals down the first perpendicular
line. For illustration: 12 midnight is the
mark on the first horizontal line and each
hour is marked until the twenty-four
of the following midnight hour is
reached on the last horizontal line. Between
the hour lines the spare is divided into
minutes and graduated as fine as desired.
On a two minute chart the space between
the hours is divided into ten minutes’time,
and the ten minutes’ time into two minutes
time. The hour lines are made r eavy and
the lesser lines are of a lighter shade to dis
tinguish them. One terminus of the road is
marked on the first line be,.do the first time
mark, 12 midnight. The other stations fol
low down the perpendicular iiue until the
other terminal is reached. Then all is ready
to prepare for the running arrangements,
provided the pins and threads are ready. A
blue thread means a passenger train, a red
thread a freight train, aud if trains of other
r< adß use a part of the track they are
designated by a different colored thread. It
is calculated that the running shall be, say
25 n piles an hour, and for the purpose of
Illustration, the tracing of one passenger
train will answer the purposo of ex
plaining them all. A passenger
train leaves the first station
say at Ba. m. A pin ie placed on the hori
zontal line at the Ba. m. time mark, aud
the end of the blue thread fattened thereto.
If the train runs without stopping for 50
miles the blue thread is stretc od over op
posite stations at which the stop is made,
and directly under 10 a. rn time mark an
other pin is stuck arid the blue thread
wrapped around it to keep it taut. If there
is a stop say of forty minutes the blue
thread is stretched to the 10:40 a. m. time
mark on a direct line with the same station
and another pin stuck and the blue thread
wrapped. The train starts and its entire
cour<>6 is .’hue timed and distributed along
the road. If the railroad has many pas
senger and freight trains running daily, the
time chart, when completed, 100-s like a
great spider web stretched with pins. But
little work then remains to transfer the
time and stations to the time table, and the
schedule is ready for the printer.
HUMIDITY THE GaCBB OF IT.
Why Some Brands of Fertilizers are
Often Wet.
Editor Horning Sews: Your several edi
torial references to the fertilizer trade have
suggested to me the idea of addressing you
upon the same subject, in the belief that
my communication will be of interest, not
only to my fellow farmers and to fertilizer
manufacturers and dealers, but als . to all
ciuzeus concerned for the prosperity of Sa
vannah.
Under the present law no inspector it en
titled to his salary unless he depo.its in the
state treasury double the amount collected
from fees. Savannah bein, the center of
the trade in-pec tors are sent here annually
from Atlanta in the hope of earning their
pay us assisting inspectors. One is here at
present in that capacity, and
two others have bfficiatd during
my sickness of twelve days. Heretofore
the reports of previous commissioners of
agriculture have shown only the amount of
work done by each inspector, without any
reference to the plaoes of inspection, but
Ur. Nesbitt very willingly promised to
adopt my suggestion, and to give ea h port
or place of entry, credit for its trade in
fertilizers in his report.
Up to the evening of the 26th I have
pers nally inspected, during February.
44,431 tons. Ou Feb. 19 a very emphatic
complaint was made by letter against the
very wet condition in which a certain
brand of fertilisers had just tieeii delivered,
with the inquiry whether 1 had possibly
inspected it iu ibatsute. (Of course not.) A
few minutes after the receipt of the letter the
manufacturer preseuted himself, and, in
much excitement, urgently requested’ an
immediate investigation, as other truok
fnrmers had returned similar g. ods for the
same reason. After an examinrtion of the
few pounds left of that particular bra and
and the surroundings, I climbed to the roof
of the faotory to satisfy!.myself that uo
possible leakage could militate against
ray belief that the dampness
was solely attributable to absorption
from the atmosphere. But feeling
convinced that only an extraordinary
amount of atmospheric humidity
could possibly account for the ex
isting state of affairs. I applied to
the United States signal officer for his rec
ord of hygrometric observations for the
proceeding fortnight. He kindly furnished
me with the accompanying very interesting
table for the fertilizer trade, from
which it will be seen that the
average of the preceding fourteen
days exceeds the normal of Febru
ary for (iiteen years by 15 9, and that the
maximum of two separate duys exceeds it
by 29.3.
All fertilizers are affected In the same
manner, though to a much less degree than
these high grade nitrogenous brands, p ir
tioularly iu those where nitrate of soda has
baen used as a source of nitrogen. I, there
fore, wish to say to my fellow farmers, not
only of this community, but of tbe state,
that if any of them have noticed in this
period a greater amount of moisture in
fertilizers (u exposed to inclement weather)
which have been inspected here,than is in
dicate on the analysis, the lact is probably
attributable to natural causes aud not to
auy dishonesty of the manufacturers.
