PERISIIKP IN THE SURF.
JOHN M’CLOSKEY DSOWNEI AT
TYER2 WHILE BATSINO.
Tbs Body Recovered a - .d • fforts
Made to Resuscitate It —.a I lunge in
tbe Water nils In a Healed t on
dltlon Supposed to Have i aused
McCloskey's 1 eath-Tin* Body Taken
From the Surf in the Pres nee of
the Drowned Man's Wife and Chil
d -er.
John McCloskey, a contractor, was
dr. weed in tbe surf at Tybee yesterday
afternoon.
McCloskey. accompanied by h,s wife and
three children, went down to the island °n
the 2:30 o’clock t ain. Shortly after Me-
Closkey wont into the surf in front of
Lane’s Reach hcu*e. Over 100 people wore
in she surf at the time. He went out beyond
tbe others, and tbe people, supposing he was
a swinimer, pn and no attention to h.m.
Just when MrCloskey was drowned no
one seems to know. He was seen drifting
along with the t.de, me moment with bis
head above water and the next his back.
Tbe body Lad reached opp si e Naylor's
house before any one seemed to realize that
anything was wrong. Someone on the
beach, noticing that the man was motion
less, called to a group of bathers that he w as
drowning. In a moment everything
was in a state of excitement
Policeman Kelly, threw off bis
coat and dashed into tbe water. James
Naylor and John E. Dowling followed with
out removing the r clothing. Three men
put out in a b.at without oars, aud the
bathers all star.od toword McCloskey. John
Utzinger was the first to reach hitn.
HKCOVKKEI) FROM TliE WATER.
The body was too heavy for hitn to lift,
and he had to await assistance, which came
in a few minutes. McCloskey was taken out
of the water and placed on the beach. Dr.
Sohley and Dr. Hatley of Augusta, eu
deavored to resuscitate him. Stimulants
were hypodermically injeoted aud half a
dozen man rolled the man to get the water
out of hit stomach. His arms were
worked backward and forward,
and warm w-uter was poured
over his extremities, but it was to no pur
pose. Drs. Schley and Battey considered
McCloskey a dead man when he was
brought out of the water, but they did
everything known to medical science to
resu-citat) him. Their efforts la this di
rection were kep; up for an hour and a
half, and the workers only gave up their
task when the body began to grow stiff.
A HP SB AND AND FATHER GONE.
The anguish of the wife, with her three
fatherless children grouped around her,
was pitiable. While efforts were being
made to resuscitate her husband she con
tinually appealed to the physicians, with
tears streaming from her eyes, to know if
there was any hope. The doctors told
her there might boa possible chance, and
she bore up bravely for awhile. Friends
gathered around her and spoke comforting
words. Several times they led her away
from the body to the hotel, but she would
go back to see if her husband had been re
stored. When the physicians finally pro
nounced McCloskey beyond all possible) res
toration and the body was carried to the
hotel, the widow broke down completely
and gave vent to her sorrow.
Bhe had the sympathy of everybody and
every one tried to comfort her.
The body was brought up to the city on
the late train and taken to the drowned
man’s residence on Taylor street, near
Habersham. The funeral will take plaoe
this afternoon at 4:30 o clock, and will be
atte ded by Georgia Caatle No. U, IC. G.E.,
of which the deceased was a member.
CHILLED BY THE WATER.
The theory of MoCloskey’s death is that
he was overheated wnen he went into the
surf a id he received a sadden chiding from
the water which brought about a o ingestion
of the lungs. The fact of the body floating
instead of sinking would seem to bear out
this thery.
McCloskey was about 38 years of age. Ho
has been a contractor for several years and
had charge of the erection of the building
in the rear of the First Presbyterian church
on Drayton street, low in course of con
struction.
3 here is a peculiar coincidence between
McCloskey’s death and that of Contractor
Lewman in the surf at Tehee two years
ago. Both had contracts with Presbyterian
churches; they met their deaths during the
same month, in an almost identically
similar manner; their bodies were brought
ashore almost at the same point, and T)r.
Batley of Augusta endeavored to resuscitate
both men. The physician was visiting
Tybee at the time of Mr. Lewmnn’s death,
and he came down on yesterday morning’s
excursion.
INVITED T J SWITZSiu.A ND
Dr. Vass Honored by the C.ty of New
borne, N. c.
Rev. Dr. L. A. Vass, pastor of the First
Presbyterian ohu ch, was the recipient last
week of quite a compliment from his former
fellow townsmen of Newbcrne, N. C. It is
in connection w ith an historical event.
The town of Newberue was founded 170
years ago by Count De Graffenreiii of
Berne, Switzerland, with a colony of Swiss.
The town of Berne will celebrate its 700th
anniversary this summer. The authontlis
of Berne have extended an invitation
to the town of Newborn®, N. C„ to send a
delegate to take p .rt in the celebration of
this anniversary o? their mother eitv. Dr.
Vass has been invited by the mayor of
New-berne to represent t e city of whioh he
was for a number of years, until recently, a
ci.izen a: the celebration at Berne. 'He
does cot expect, however, to attend. He
has spent several summers m Europe, Put
his time is so occupied at pre-oil as to
prevent his spending this summer abroad,
as it would give him such a short time
there as to make the trip hardly worth the
while.
GETTING READY TO START.
The Electrical Railway Company’s
Cara Here.
The Electric Railway Company has re
ceived six electric cars, which are now
being wired and will soon bo reaiy tor ser
vice. A car shed is being erected on one ot
the lots between Price street and the Savan
nah, Florida and Western railway for the
accommodation of the cars, which will
have to be kept on the west side
of the railroad, as there is
no communication between the
street railway company's tracks on the ea-t
ami west sides of the Savannah, Florida
and Western as yet. The machinery has all
been placed in position at the power house
and it now being bricked up. The railway
company expects to be running cars by the
latter part of this month, if not before.
K. B. PLANT COMING.
Rumors of More Changes ot the Plant
System to Follow His Visit.
President H. B. Plant of the Plant system
will be in Savannah this week. He is ex
pected here Wednesday.
In connection with Mr. Plant’s visit there
are rumors of more changes to take place
among the officer* of the Savannah, Florida
and Western. It is the talk that Chief En
gineer Howe will resign and that his de
partment will be merged with some other.
The reeignation of General Freight A gen t
Hardee and the appointment of K. B. Papy
in his plaoes. seems to have been the
begining of a reorganization of the general
offices of the system.

NBA BING ITS COMPLETION.
The New Houston Stra -t < hurch to
be Ready in October.
The New Houston street Methodist Epis
copal church building now presents a very
handsome external appearance. The brick
work is complete, the roof and towers are
finished and all the work upon the exterior
h 8 Sen completed for the pre ent. Some
time lster it is intended to give t 1 e exterior
a facing of stucco wo; k, which will enhance
its appearance.
All the flashing work remains to be done
upon the interior of the bunding 3 et, and
this is the costiv and tedious portion of the
wo k. The ceiling, of oorrugated steel, is
nearly finished and the work of lathing,
preparatory to plastering the walls, has
begun.
The congregation dote not expect to get
) into the pew bunding before fall, and will
be satisfied to be able to dedicate it by Oc
j tober. IN hen completed it will be one of
the handsomest church buildings in the
! city. It is of semi-gothic style of architect
ure. The front is ,m Jefferson street, with a
tower at each corner, the boll tower b tng
i at the c rner f Jefferson and New Houston
street . The building lias a fro it of .53 feet
o i Jefferson street and runs back Sij feet on
New Houston street. A largo brick base
ment will be used as a Sunday school room.
The auditorium Is 52 feet by 70, and will
1 seat 000 people, pews having been ordered
for that number. The pulpit arid altar will
be in front of a rece.s in the front end of
the church, which will be occupied by tho
choir. The building is noli lighted by large
gothic windows, which will be filled with
colored cathedral glass.
The entrances will be from the towers by
winding siairwass, the main front of tho
auditorium being occupied by a very large
window. As soon as the plastering is com
pitted, the coiling and walls of the audito
rium will be handsomely painted a id fres
coed. About 43.700 has been expended on
the building so far, and about $5,000 more
is needed to complete it.
Tho plans for the building were drawn
by Mr. H. D. Osborne of Wilcox, Gibbes &
Cos., an amateur architect. Mr. J. H. Eason
is the contractor.
Rov. O. S. Johnson, the pastor, has done
a groat work since his coming at the first of
year, in bringing the building to is present
advanced stage, and ahonld not lack funds
to complete the work in tho same manner in
which it has been begun. The building will
be a great a tdition to that portion of the
c.ty, and besides is much needed, as its field
is rapidly enlargiug aud growing in popula
tion.
BISHOP TALBOT MAY DECLINE.
A Cheyeme Dispatch to the New
York World Says He Will.
The New York World of Saturday pub
lishes the following special from Cheyenne,
Wyo., under the head of “Declines the
Georgia Bishopric":
Btbelhert Ta'bot, missionary bishop of
Wyoming and Idaho for the Knit copal church,
reached here to-dAy from a trip in Central
Wyoming, lie will not accept the bishopric of
Georgia, to which he was recently elected.
This statement is believed here to be with
out foundation. No official information
lias been received by tbe authorities of the
diocese of Georgia as to a declination on the
part of Biihop Talbot nor any intimation
of any such intention ou his part it is not
considered likely that Bishop Talbot would
so express himself, at any rate, until after
oonfering with tbe committee appointed to
notify him in person of his election
A Baramie, Wyo., dispatch to the At
lanta Constitution yesterday contains the
followi'ig interview with Bishop Talbot:
“I am very muoh surprised at my elec
tion as bishop of Georgl i,” said tho bishop.
“I appreciate the honor that has teen con
ferred upon me, but at the present time 1
am utterly unable to say what my decision
will. Ido not see ray way at all clear to
accept, but I may.”
Being prossed for a more definite expres
sion for the people of Georgia, Bishop Tal
bot said:
“I will wait and hear what the diocesan
council has to say. You know I was
elected on July 1, aud did not hoar of the
fac* nil yesterday, the 3d. I am now
al' > telegraph to Georgia, simply im •
pro g them that they may await a letter
fr. in uie. No, 1 will not take a month to
decide this question. Perhaps In two
weeks 1 shall give a final decision.
"I regard Georgia as one of the most pro
gressive of the southern states, and it is,
perhaps, one of the very best types of the
spirit of the new south, and if I wore not so
thoroughly preoccupied with my work
hero, I would give you a definite reply now.
It is a most inviting field, and one possess
ing great possibilities for good. I must
withhold my decision until I hear from tho
diocesan convention of Georgia, and give it
such consideration as the dignity 1 f the
diocaseand the importance of the question
i emends.”
_ Mrs. Talbot was present at the interview,
fihosiid: “Pardon me, but I merely want
to hear v. hat the bishop says. I have uo
hesitancy in expressing my desire to go to
Ge rgia, but do mt want my w:shej to in
fluence the bishop in the least.”

MUBT HAVE FORTY-FOUR NOW.
Another Twinkler Added to Cur Coun
try's Flag.
Bines Saturday the flag of our country
must have forty-four stars.
An act of congress, passed in 1818 and
signed by President Monn e, requires that
whenever anew state is admitted into tho
uuioD, a new star shall be placed on the flag
oh the Fourth of July next following.
Under this act the war department has
issued an erder that until another uewttato
is born iD the union, there shall be forty
four stars on the flag. The arrangement of
the stars now is in six rows, eight each in
trie upper and lower, and seven in each of
the four intermediate rows. This, therefore,
is the only regulation simon-pure flag.
The American Hag, as it is now designed,
was adopted by the continental congress
June 14, 1777. The resolution then passed
provided that “the flag of the thirteen
United States be thirteen stripes, alternate
red and white; that the union be thirteen
stars, white in a blue field, representing a
new constellation.” In 1795 two stripes
were added to commemorate tbe admission
of Vermont aud Kentucky, and two new
stars were placed in tbe union. The stars
were then arranged in parallel rows.
No further change was made until 1818,
although in the meantime Tennossee.
Ohio, Louisiana, Indiana and Miss.ssippi
had been admitted in the years 1899, 1802,
1813. 1816 and 1817, respectively. April 4,
1818, a bill was signed by President Monroe
reducing the number of stripes to thirteeu
and adopting new stars for the statos ad
mitted since 1795. From tho passage of
this bill the number of stars has been in
creased on tbe Fourth of July with the
admission of every new state. Beginning
with the passage of the act of 1819, the fol
lowing changes have been made:
1819, one star for Illinois; IS2O, two stars,
one for Alabama, one for Maine; 1922, one
star for Missouri; 1836, one star for Arkan
sas; 1837, one star for Michigan; 1845, one
star tor Florida; 1846, one star for Texas;
1817, one star for lowa, 1848, one star for
WHconson; 1851, one star for California;
1858. one star for Minuesota; 1859, one star
fur Oregou; 1961, one star for Kansas; 1803,
one star for West Virginia; 1805, one star
for Nevada; 1807, one star for Ne
braska; 1870, one star for Colorado;
1899, five stars for North Dakota, South
Dakota, Montana, Washing on and Idaho;
1891, one star for Wyoming.
It will be seen that the last six stars have
been added for states admitted under tbe
present administration.

' ST. MICHAELS BY THE SEA
TY32E’S NFW P.OMAN CATHOLIC!
CHURCH DEDICATED.
| Bishop Becker Performs tha Dedica
tory Ceremonies and Lays Down to
the Congregation the Ee.iefi of tho
Catholic Church—The Kd flee Named
After St. Michael the Archangel, the
Ruler of the Waves—lncidents of the
I edlcation.
Tybee’s Roman Catholic chapel was dedi
cated yesterday morning by Bishop Becker,
assisted by Vicar General C'afferty and
Rev. W. A. McCarthy. Bishop Becker
named the chapel after St. Michael the
Archangel, who is known as the ruler of the
waves. The name is peculiarly appropri
ate on aeo.untof the chapel being at the
seaside.
The 9:30 o’clock train carried down about
200 people to attend the services, and they,
togeth.r with Tybee’s residents, filled the
little church to overflowing. There are
twenty-four pews, with a seating capacity
of about 275. Every one was taxed to is
utmost capacity, people occupied chairs in
the aisles and every foot of standing roam
around the door was taken up and many
stood outside under tha trees. Over 400
pe pie were crow led into the budding.
At 11 o’clock Bishop Becker aud Fathers
Cafferty and McCarthy, attired in their
handsome vestments, came out of the
sacristy and marched down the ai-le to the
entrance, where the bishop spriukied holy
water and blessed the chapel with appro
priate prayers. On tne return to the altar
the congregation was sprinkled with holy
water.
After the recitation of the litany of the
sarais and psalms, mass was celebrated. The
choir consisted of Mrs. Altick, Frank E.
Kebarer aud M. A. O'Bvrne. Prof. Leo
Mebrtens presided at tho organ. The sing
ing was excellent.
THE DEDICATORY SERMON.
Bishop Becker preached a sermon from
the text “By their fruits yo shall know
them.” The Catholic church, he said, is
known by its fruits. It is to-day the same
church it was when it was founded by Jesus
Christ, when he commauded his apostles to
go forth and teach all nations. It never
vacillates and always teaches the same
iruths. White other churches are wrang
ling about doctrines aud questioning the
scriptures, which they never would have
had but for tbe preserving art of tbe Church
Catholic it stands firm iu its faith and
doctrines. It is not a council of opinions
but of faith. With the right hand is taught
what people must believe, and with the left
hand what they must do. The same religion
is taught to all, from the lowest child to Jdm
who represents St. Peter on earth.
ITS PRINCIPLES UNCHANGING.
The Catholic church, continued Bishop
Becker, never changes its principles even to
save a nation. It has Watched the rise and
fall of dynasties, and stood by to sing their
requiem and say, “May they rest iu peace.”
Governments are only temporary, but the
Catholic church isoternal. riven republics
are not perpetual The wrecks of many
magnificent republics lie strewn along the
turnpike of time while the Catholio church
goes majestically on to its destiny.
While on one hand men ure questioning
the revelations and doubting the creed from
“I believe iu God, the Father Almighty,” to
“life everlasting,” causing discord, ill-will
and hatred, the Cathclic church goes se
renely on teaching the same doctrines she
has always taught aud always will teach.
Bishop Becker closed by thanking all who
contributed to or aided in the erection of
St. Michael’s, particularly the young men
of the Atlantic club, who have taken a
lively interest in the matter.
THE CHURCH EDIFICE.
St. Michael’s is situated on Railroad ave
nue and Eighth street, just across from the
Atlantio Club. The exterior is painted
white, with black trinimiugs. The roof
is surmounted by a white and black dome,
on the top of whioh stands a large white
cross. The interior walls are painted white
aud the ceiling a sky blue, the combination
making a pretty effect. The pews are of
polished Georgia pine. The altar is
a beautiful and artistic piece of work. It
is carved iu an attractive manner, and in
the center is a lamb bearing a cross. The
altar was made at McDonough & Co.’s
mill. On each side of the altar is a room.
One is used as a sacristy and the other as a
sleeping apartment fur the priest, who will
go to the island every Saturday night.
SITE OF THE CHURCH.
St. Michael’s cost about 13,000. The land
upon which the church stands was donated
by the Tybee Beach Company, at the in
stance of Capt. D. G. Purse. The erection
of the churc i is mainly due to tho efforts of
Mr. Robert E.Popper,president of the Atlan
tic Club. He interested others in the move
ment, and soon hail the scheme iu proper
working order. From the commencement
of work until the completion and dedication
of St. Michael’s, Mr. Peppor has devoted
much of his time to looking after details.
St. Michael’s has the honor of being the
Pin leer house of religious worship on
Tybee. The island has quite a contingent
of Catholic residents, and the chapel will bo

talk of the erection of a union Protestant
chapel at Tybee.but as yet the matter has not
taken any definite shape. It is und- rst rod
that tho Beach Company will donate a lot
for this purpose, a3 they did for St.
Michael’s.

The Americanized EncyclopserJU Bri
tannica
is valuable because it is accurate, because it
is modern, because it has rejected the
worthless and preserved the necessary, be
cause it brings the history of science, litera
ture, commerce, geography and discovery,
and the mental and moral development of
the race and ;wn to the year 1.890. In its ten
large octavo volumes will be found an
amount of interesting aud profitable read
ing of incalculable value to the busy man.
The hisiorical record of eiery country of
the world, of every state and city of the
uuian, is brought down to the current
year. Its statistical matter is invaluable,
for it is taken from tho very latest official
returns in ail cases. An additional interest
attaches to the Americanized Encyclopce
dia in that it is prepared in America for
America §, and that, while paying all due
attention to the grand record of olden days,
it has devoted ample space to the story of
the present, the most important and pro
gressive of all the centuries. The traditions
of a mythical past, the hoary records of a
remote antiquity, are not permitted to
usurp the space which is i eeded for a
desoriptiou of the history aud the inven
tions of modern days. Not that Grecian lit
erature or Babylonian inscriptions, or the
story of Ancient Egypt, or of the Dark
Ages and the Renaissance, have t een ig
nored or neglected. All t hat is valuable on
these subjects has been retained, stripped of
euouinberiag and la ored wora-paiuting.
And, to bring the book into line with mod
ern thought, the most recent and scoveries t f
science, the gigautic growth of commerce
and manufactures, the political and moral
awakening of the world of to day have been
a :ded. i i.us the Americanized Euoyelopae
dia Britannica offers to the people of Amer
ica a work so full, socondensed, so thorough
iu it- bistori’-al ree rd, so crowded with t?ie
latest information, so accurate and relia

BAKING POAVDER.
Highest of all in Leavening Power.— U. S. Gov’t Report, Aug. 17, 18S9,
ABSOLUTELY PURE
RAIL AND CROSSTIE.
Tho Canaveral Land and Harbor Im
provement Company intends building a
tram-road in Florida.
Surveying has, it is reported, been com
menced ou the proposed North Georgia
railroad, to extend from Anderson, S. C.,
to Franklin, N. C., via Clayton, Ga.
The Miller Electric Danger Signal Com
pany, Portland, Me., has been incorporated,
with a capital stock of 4100,000, to manu
facture electrical devices and to equip rail
road! therewith.
The Bennettsviile and Hamlet Railroad
Company has been organized, with A. A.
Hewlett president. M. L. Dolby vice presi
dent, and J. K. Livingston secretary, to
build a railroad from Bannettsvills to
Hamlet, N. C., a distance of twenty-one
miles.
At a recent meeting of citizens of Mt.
Carmel, S. C., the organization of a com*
pany to build a railroad from Tampa via
Dupont, Kastman, Milledgevllle a id Wash
ington, Ga., Abbeville and Greenville, S.
C., to Asheville, N. C., or further north
was discussed, and steps were taken to se
cure the formation of such a company.
The Interstate Land and Construction
Company of Florida, lately reported a-;
chartered by J. C. Daviß, W. P. Denham
and George Lewis, has contracted to build
the entire line and branches of the Florida,
Georgia and Western Railway Company,
and is now at work. The road is to run
from Tallahassee to Charlotte Harbor, with
a branch to the Atlantic coast.
The Chesterfield and Kershaw (S.
C.) Railroad Company, previously re
ported as to build a railr ad from Cheraw
to Camden, has completed its organization,
with J. W. McKay president. The Chester
field and Lancaster Railroad Company,
which Is to build a railroad from Cheraw
via Cheiterfie'd C. H. to Lancaster, also or
ganized with W. Evans of Hornsboro, 8.
C., president.
There is a good deal of gossip in railroad
circles in Birmingham about the proposed
consolidation of the Richmond and Danville
and the Central freight depots there and the
appointment of anew agent. It is stated
that Supt. Ryder has tendered tbe joint
agency to John W. Webb, now agent of the
Richmond and Panville at Salisbury, N. C.
It is known that Mr. Ryder tendered Mr.
Webb another position on the Georgia
Pacific division some time ago and that ho
declined to accept it. The joint agency of
the Richmond and Danville and the West
ern North Carolina at Salisbury, N. C., is a
good thing, and it is hardly believed Mr.
Webb will leave it.
The annual meeting of the stockholders
of the Mo ule and Girard railroad was held
last week in Girard, Ala. The following
officers and directors were elected: Presi
dent, N. P. Banks; directors, W. H. Bran
non, John Peabody, J. D. Murphy, G. M.
Williams, J. B. Turver and C. H. Franklin.
The president reported work on the exten
sion from Troy to AndaluriA as progressing
rapidly. Tho survey of the extension has
been pushed ahead eighty miles further
than the construction, and land for three
yards and depots has been secured, first at
Glenwood, e'ghteen miles from Troy; at
Williams’ Bridge, forty-two miles from
Troy, and at Sedalia, still further down.
Large forces of men are at work and the
track is being extended and equipped as
rapidly as possible.
Tbo supreme court of the state of Ohio has
rendered a decision in the case of the Cin
cinnati Inclined Plane Railroad Company vs.
the City aud Suburban Tolegraph Com
pany. Action was brought by the telephone
company to enjoin the railway company
from the use of an electrical system of pro
pulsion, upon the claim that that system in
ferred with the use of the telephone and al
most destroyed its busines.: that the noise
made I*3’ tho railroad prevented one hear
ing when using the telephony and. the cur
rent from trie railway circuit, being much
the stronger, destroyed the current of the
telephone lines. The court decided in favor
of the railway company, upon the theory
that the st-eet is primarily intended for the
use of the general public for traveling pur
poses: and the fact of motive power which
facilitates travel being changed to some
thing which might interfere with a subor
dinate use of the highway should not make
any difference in that regard.
Tho Engineering and Mining Journal
thus comments on the momentous c ailenge
of Mr. Frank J. Sprague: The challenge
of Mr. F. J. Sprague to produce within
four months an electric motor suitable for
use in the proposed underground rapid
transit railway system of New York, which
will draw a loaded train of six cars at a rato
of forty miles an hour, or forfeit $50,000,
published in the New York daily papers of
June 13, is something whioh the opponents
of tho underground plan of the rapid transit
commission six mid consider. Mr. Sprague
is well known as the inventor of one of tho
most important street electric railway sys
tems m use ut the piesent time, and such
an offer from him has sufficient weight to
merit an gnswer from those who oppose
rapid transit plans. Up to the present date
the challenge is unanswered, and we
are of the opinion that it will re
main so. The statements that
have been made to the effect that it would
be impossible to operate trains at necessary
speed in the proposed tunnel are undoubt
ed iv inspired from the same source that
started the talk that it would fie impossible
to enlist capital iu it. No one who has fol
lowed the development of the electric street
railway in this country doubts that elec
trical locomotives capable of drawing a
loaded train forty miles an hour can be
built. A8 a matter of fact, the motors used
on street railways at the present time in
several places are made to drive their errs
at times at rates of speed but little sh rt of
the requirements of the proposed new rapid
transit sy stem in New \ork.
A New Domino Puzzle.
Jonathau Stern of this city has just re
ceived a patent on a now puzzle called The
Domino 31 Puzzle, whioh he expects to be
come the rage in puzzledom us soon as it
is put upon the mar ket. The puzzle con
sists of an ordinary set of dominoes with four
extra Blank dominoes. The puzz eis to
arrange the entire set of thirtv-iwo in a
square so that counting m any direction
across each lino of dominoes, diagonally
across the squa e, in fact any way, the total
of spots will bo twenty-one. Ti e
puzzle is simple to look at
and . sems easy of sol ut ion, but
to solve it is another thing. It can be done
however, in two or three ways. There is no
trick about it. It is merely a puzzle that
requires ingenuity to work out. Mr. Stern
proposes to organize a stock company to
manufacture tiie puzzle in Savannah.
As a sample of the advantages of our reci
procity arrangement with Braz'l. It i a stated
that flfte-:i locomotives aud 4.0 in barrels of
Hour have recently been shipped to that coun
try an ; tbe vessel will return with a cargo of
40,000 nags of coffee, paid for with the engines
and flour.

KEEPING THE HOUSE COOL.
Heat Should Be Fxcluded by Shutting
Up All the Booms.
From the Lid es' Home Journal.
Much of the interior heat is supplied our
houses by the kitchen range, which Bridget
keepi red hot even in tha‘'Jog-days.” Pre
vent tiais by tbe use of one of those wonder
fully perfeced gas-stoves on which
any woman of average intel
ligence can fry, roast, broil
and bake to entire satisfaction. It is more
economical than a coal fire, makes no dust
and conveys no heat to any part of tho
house outsida the kitchen. The one draw
back is the want of a hot-water s lipply for
the bathroom, but this, with care uud sys
tem, may be overcome to a degree, for a
kettle always full of water can be kept on
the gas-stovejall day. For wash-day and
ironing-day a clover manager in a small
family can make the gas stove a success.
Having got rid of the iuaids heat, all
rooms not in use should be shut up tight. I
mean this literally. Not only should the
shutters and windows be closed, but tbe
blinds must be lowered to exclude every ray
of light, and tho doors locked to prevent the
running in and out of the children, who
thus admit naves of heated air. Wo all
know that light and hot air impart heat to
whatever they touch, therefore this elf irt
to keep out these agents; but it would be
neither wise nor practicable to hermetically
seal all the rooms of a house. One room,
at least, can be so treated—tho parlor, and
also tho dining-room between meals; tho
room selected should be closed early m the
morning while the air has some freshnea-,
and before the sun strikes tho windows;
then it should not be opened until late in the
afternoon.
Every house should have an accessible
trap-door in its roof, and when this is left
open a current of heated air must rise
through it and make a general draught over
all tbe house. If you have not this, you
will Hud it worth the expense tv cut a “tran
som window” iu the hall above tho last
flight of stairs, choosing a nortfi wall, if
possible, and as high up as may be.
Awnings should be light in color and
should he at all windows aud doors except
those tc the north. They are great help in
keeping out glare and reflected lights, but
as they sometimes keep out breeze ns well,
they should b 9 chosen of a kind whith is
readily raised and lo verad.
After sundown a plentiful watering of
your street and pavement and of all tbe
garden you possess w ill cool the air won
derfully for your night’s sleep.
A PBiiSDN THEY ALL LOVE.
The Kind of a Girl That Men Admire
end Want to Marry.
From Kate Field's Washington.
In giauolng over the columns of a news
paper recently my attention was caught by
an article in which a lady discussed the at
tractive qualities of marriageable girls in
the eyes of eligible men.
If my understanding of the writer’s con
clusions is correot the inference may be
drawn that, as there are all kinds of girls
and ali kinds of men, almost any kind of a
girl will please some kind of a man, obser
vation undoubtedly justifying such an
opiaion.
There is, however, one girl—every man
knows which one I mean—whose versatility
and adaptability render her particularly
agreeable.
She is always frank and free i:i conversa
tion, even on unconventional subjects, but
she is nevor boid and will tolerate nothing
approaching coarseness.
You are positive that her seeming inter
est in the matters whioh interest you is not
entirely a-sumed, and you are conscious
also that she knows whether your affected
desire to understate! the affairs occupying
her attention is genuine.
There is no indication either when you
are present that she ever thinks of you
when absent to any greater degree or ia
any other way than your male acquaint
ance do.
In conversation her larg9 fund of general
information is evident, yet you are not im
pressed by a display of knowledge greater
than your own.
If you desire to air year stock of compli
mentary nothings she can handle them
more gracefully than that other girl with
whom you can talk nothing e se, and there
is delightfully missing all seusatiou of hav
ing them extorted from you.
Perhaps, in a momentarily cynical mood,
you sit down to reflect on this girl’s charm,
determined to discover whether it is the re
sult of ingenuous natura ness or the most
consummate art. What is your conclusion }
H-m-ui, yes; hut one thing is certain—the
charm is there, isn’t it?
Now, to he honest, doesn't it lie ia the
fact that she apparently receives just that
impression of your character and pars u
ality which you know, in the depth of vour
consciousne-s, is a little too fav rable for
uninfiatad truth, yet is not so absurdly flat
tering hut that yon can honestly endeavor
to believe it curiect.
This girl, who meets on level ground
every man worth meeting, th ugh not
challenging admiration, usually takes her
choice among several suitors; and if that
man is sensible enough to treat her after
marriage as he did before, he seldom regrets
the choice.
Any disappointment she mav feel is never
publicly admitted.

TALKS WITH PIANO BUYERS,
No. 2.
By this time you hare probably made un
your mind that you need net let slip the
chance to buy an instrument on account of
not feeling able to afford the cash outlay.
You have read our Talk Ho. 1 and have
satisfied yourself that it is botli easy ard
safe to buy on the installment plan. Buclj
being the case, let us say a word about th
kind of instrument you ought to buy.
There are few things about which the busi
ness man knows less than the actual merits
of a piano. He may beau excellent judg*
of the value of all household furniture
may be thoroughly posted in tho values of
real estate, may bo able to build a house
economically, may be quite capable of ren
dering valuable assistance in artlstio fur
uishir.g of a home, but when ha comes to r
piano he has to confess his Ignorance. Bt.ll
we bog to assure you that his lack of
knowledge of this subject is not half a,
dense as that of many of the people who
actually deal in pianos, and whose pran
of a particular instrument is guaged by the
profit they expect to gain upon it. Please
don’t consider us vain when we say that
this is not and never has been the case with
Ludden & Bates Southern Music House,
AVe have always considered it essential tfl
our business success that we have an inti,
mate and expert knowledge of iho musical

chasers tho benefit of this knowledge as far
as they will accept of it. Call an 1 ask us a
few questions. You will find exper
mocha >ios ready to taka a piano apart in
your presence and explain the value of its
construction. You will fi-id competent
judges of musical tone quality ready to
give you their assistance in making a selec
tion, and wheu you have found a piano to
suit,you will navo the express guaranty ot a
busiuess house with a reputation to main
tain, that should any possible latent defect
show itself, you will have it made good
promptly and cheerfully. It will be safe
for you to see us before you buy.
