A KICK AGAINST CANADA. |
LUMBBBMBN PROTEST AGAINST
CANADIAN IMPORTATION 9.
A National Moating: to Discuss tho
Proa Admission of the Produot of
Canadian Forests Into ths United
States—lt Will Probably B Held In
Atlanta—The Effect of tbs Free Im
portations.
An important movement Is on foot
imong the American lumbermen, both
north and south, to take steps to prevent
the preseat heavy Importation of Canadian
lumber into this oountry free of duty.
A meeting will probably be oalled in At -
lauta sometime next month of the leading
lumbermen throughout the whole oountry
to take united notion upon the question and
ievlse means of bringing the question
prominently before congress.
The last oongress reduced the duty ou
lumber and removed tho duty altogether on
logs rafted into thia country from over the
Canadian border. In 1890 30,000,000 feet of
logs were rafted from Canada to ths United
States and this year 90,000 JOOO, all free of
duty.
WHAT THE STATISTICS SHOW.
Statistics show that ths Canadian im
ports in 1891 of sawed boards, planks
and deals increased 181,581,700 feet;
(bingies 65,832,300 pieoee; logs, free,
50,000,000 feat; bark. free. *170,113.
Americans with Canadians interests were
lacgely instrumental in securing a reduc
tion of duties. Owning timber on the Cana
dian side they raft large quantities of logs
to the Miohigan mills for manufacture.
The Canadian lumber comes in oompeti
tftm with the coarser grades of American
lumber, whioh tends greatly to reduoe the
prtoe. The northern lumber, hemlook and
Norway pine, chiefly feels the effect of the
competition, but southern yellow pine is
also affected by it to a considerable extent.
THE EFFECT ON YELLOW PINE.
It is estimated that the present free ad*
mission of Canadian timber will affect the
price of yellow pine to the extent of $1 per
1.000 feet. This would mean bankruptcy to
a large numbei of the yellow pine manu
facturers, and to 50 per oent., it is said, of
the northern manufacturers.
VV. B. Stillwell, one of the largest lumber
exporters in this seotion, was seen yesterday
by a Morning News reporter with regard
to this matter. Mr. Stillwell said he did
not consider the situation the least exag
gerated and that it is a vital question to
the lumber manufacturers south as well as
north.
AN INJUSTICE TO LUMBERMEN.
He thinks a great injustice was done the
American lumbermen in the removal of the
duties upon Canadian log- and the reduc
tion of duties upon manufactured lumber.
He is heartily in favor of the proposed
meeting, and considers it the best plan of
bringing the matter prominently to the
attention of oongress. The convention will
be a national one, and will be composed of
lumbermen from all over the oountry.
Atlanta has been suggested as the place of
holding the meeting, because more northern
lumbermen oould be induced to come south
at this season of the year than southern
lumbermen could be gotten to go north.
WON’T DINE IN THE THEATER.
The Hibernians Will Banquet St.
Patrick’s Day at a Hotel.
Capt. John R. Dillon told a Morning
Hews reporter yesterday that there is Uttle
likelihood of the Hibernian Society giving
It* annual banquet at the theater March 17
next. The matter was talked about, he
said, but the flcaucas of the society will not

THB CHRISTMAS BONFIRES.
Mayor McDonough Decides to Allow
Them In the Squares.
Savannah's small boys are preparing for
their usual pyrotechnic celebration of
Christmas by laying up quantities of fire
works and gathering up empty barrels for
the annual bonfires.
The Christmas season always makes glad
the heart of the Savannah youth, beoause
at that time he oan let his feelings of joy
have full vent In the explosion of the fire
oracker, torpedo, rocket and roman candle
and the burning of the barrels and boxes
gathered months ahead.
While many people look upon the using
of fireworks as so much money burned, the
cost to the small boy is only a secondary
consideration beside the fun and pleasure
which he derives from it.
The “crack" and “pop" of the fireworks
are music to the soul of Young Amerioa,
while the blaze of the bonfire is a delight to
his eyes. Without these adjuncts, which
are time-honored in Savannah, Christmas
would be a barren and unimportant holiday
to the youth.
It was thought by some that the ordi
nance prohibiting trespassing on the grass
plats of the squares would prevent bonfires
during the holidays, but suoh is not the
case. Mayor MoDonough told a Morning
News reporter yesterday that he is satisfied
that there was no intention on the port of
Alderman Bailey, in introducing his grass
plat ordinance, to prevent the boys from
using the squares at Christmas for the pur
pose of bonfires, and therefore the ordi
nance will not be enforced during the holi
days os far as it concerns the use of the
plats by the boys for their Christmas Illumi
nations.
No fireworks or bonfires, of oourse, will
be allowed north of Liberty street, and
Mayor McDonough will issue his proclama
tion on the subject Tuesday. The ordinance
is as follows: “It shall not be lawful for
any person to fire or set off any sky-rocket,
wheel rocket, roman candle, serpent, flre
oraokers, or other fireworks, or other artiole
or thing containing gunpowder, fulminat
ing powder or other oxploeive, or detonat
ing substance withiu the corporate
limit* of the city of Savannah,
except within the inclosure known a*
the extension of Forsyth place aod in the
public squares south of liberty street, and
there only during five days before and ton
days after Christmas day aud July 4, in
cluding Christmas day and July 4 in eaoh
and every year.”
The penalty for violation of the ordinance
is a fine not exoeediug *IOO or imprison
ment not exceeding thirty days, either or
both in tho discretion of the court. Mayor
McDouough said he intends to have the
ordinance strictly enforced, and special
orders will be issued to the police on the
subject in a day or two. The mayor also
intends to severely punish any one who
violates the ordinance.
There is a desire among people who have
taken au interest in the improvement of
the squares and grass plate to have them
kept in good condition. If bonfires are al
lowed on the grnsa plate, even though it
be in one section of each square, to
which Mayor McDonough says the
boys must confine their illuminations,
the grass will be destroyed, the squares will
be littered and the money spent in their im
provement will have been lost. There is a
fooling, now that the city has undertaken to
keep the square# in a better °°udition, that
bonfires lbould not be allowed in them.
There is room enough in the Park extension

C3BIBTMAB WEEK’S PLAYS.
“Monte Crlsto” and “ ihe Two Johns”
the Attractions.
Yesterday was a bad day for theater
goers. Florence Bindley'! oompany played
“The Pay Train” to small houses at the
matinee and night performances. Ths play
was well presented and was worthy of bet
ter fortune. Miss Bindley, as the lively,
spritely elf, full of mischief and fun, was all
that sue bad beeu represented to be. Her
catchy eong, "I Never Will Try It Again,"
brought down the house and had the merit
of being new.
At the end of the second act of the per
formanoe last night Miss Bindley was pre
sented with a handsome floral tribute from
the Savannah Lodge of Elks. Miss Bindley
is an honorary member of the B. P. O. E.
“The Two Johns" will be the Christ
mas night attraotion. Tho present in
terpreters of the play include John
Hart and Quinn Philips, whe jointly tip
the scales at 600 pounds. The play is w*U
known here for the |fun there is in it. The
simplicity of plot evolving from mistaken
identity, and the commingling of infectious
humor, catehy music aud taking spsoielties
are the principal elements that have served
to popularize it. The oomic function de
volves ohiefly upon Peter aud Philip Johns,
two big cousins, eaoh of whose is continu
ally mistaken for the other, and the entan
glements and ludicrous situations arising
therefrom afford ample soope for display
ing the abilitiee of a score of olever come
dians.
James O’Neill ia announced to give two
performances of “Monte Cristo," Wednes
day and Thursday nights. Mr. O’Neill had
intended producing the “New South" for
the first time on any stage on the final eight
of bis engagement, but at the last moment
changed his mind. Hence the two per
formances of “Mont* Cristo." If there it
an aotor on the American stage who is
utterly tired of sucoess in one play it is Mr.
O’Neill. He struggled hard and
accomplished little, from a finan
cial standpoint, before be scoured
“Monte Cristo.” His production ot “A
Celebrated Gas#” and “ Au American Kiag”
were both of an unusually brilliant nature,
but tho publio never oared for them. From
the moment he first stepped on the stage In
the character of “Edmond Dantes” hie fort
une was made. liu impersonation of the
part soon made him famous. That was nine
years ago at Booth's thsater, Nsw \ ork.
John Stetson took the piece on the road
and his business was terrific. At the ond of
the ssoond seasou Mr. Stetson sold the play
to Mr. O’Neill. The first season that aotor
starred under hie own management the
profits are said to have exoeeded *50,000.
Sinco then, it is said, they nave never gone
below *20,000 on a season. Mr. O’NoHl
long ago tired of playing the part and has
several times tried to free himself. Last
year he spent a lot of money in produoing
the “Dead Heart” at Hooley’s theater, Chi
cago. While the play was in a measure
successful. Mr. O’Neill, having become used
to large profit* eaca year, did not relish tho
idee or working for nothing, for the “Dead
Heart mad# ao monev on the road. “The
Envoy" was tried at the Star theater, New
York, and was a failure. However, Mr.
O’Neill believes that he now has a play
whioh will take the place of “Monte Cristo.”
It is anew Freaoh, romantic and ims, by a
prominent journalist. It was recently tried
end proved so successful that Mr, O’Neill
has determined to get it up, regardless of
cost, for a production in the spring.
The action of the play takes place in

The Florida Newspaper Union.
Florida has a Newspaper Union of its own
that furnishes ready prints devoted ex
clusively to matter suitable for papers in
that state. The Union is located at Palatka
and is managed by Charles H. Pratt, a well
known publisher. The Union makes a
specialty of printing the proceedings of ail
organizations whose objeots are to advance
the best interest of the state, suoh as the
Orange Growers’ Union, Fruit Ezohange,
Horticultural Society, and quotations and
prices of Florida products, by wire, from
northern markets. In fact, it publishes
everything for the good of the state and
calculated to make its Issues interesting to
readers and advantageous to publishers of
newspapers
la connection with the Newspaper Union
is an advertising agency, whioh does away
with patent “inside aud outside advertising,”
and gives the publishers the benefit of a
better olass of advertising and better prices
than they usually receive by the co-opera

ing agency net only embraces ths Florida
Newspaper Union, but another union sys
tem controlled by the same company, which
is now printing eighty papers, covering five
states. Advertisers generally and publish
ers of weekly newspapers should give thslr
support to and encourage the efforts of the
Masers Pratt in establishing the important
enterprise in which they are engaged.
RAIL AND CBOSSTIB.

the Savannah, Amerious and Montgomery

lu Baltimore the money to pay the January
coupons on the bonds cf that road. Thu
announcement, with the listiug of the bonds

Wilmirgton, Del., olaims the oldest living
railroad mechanic in the United States, Will
lam H. Sohults, who is now 87 years old.
His hair and his short beard are white; his
intellect is clear and his faculties good, ex
cept for a slight deafness. He has lived in
Delaware for about thirty years. He was
born lu Bremen, where he learned to be a
general machinist. While working there
he met an American from Baltimore, for
whom he made a small printing press
during his leisure hours. When he was
about 37 years of age be sailed for this
oountry and landed at Baltimore. He got
employment in the only machine shop in
Baltimore. Early in the ’3os he drifted
to Philadelphia and became master me
chanic for the Philadelphia, Germantown
aud Norristown Railroad Company. He
bad charge of all repairs and during his
time he built three locomotivos—the Gen.
Jackson, tho D. L. Porter and the James
Buchanan. He also ran engines on several
oocations. The looomotive then weighed
about seven and a half tons,aud Mr.Bohultz
made quite a stir at one time by pulling
thirty-five four-wheel chars in one train.
He invented the lap valve for looomntives,
and when he first triad the valve his success
was a revelation to the mechanics of that
time. In those days wood was the only fuel
for engine*, and he invented a spark ar
rester. In 1839 Schultz was sent to Prussia
to deliver two locomotive* that had been
ordered by Frederiok William IIL They
were the Prussia and the Amerioa, aod
were to be run on ths railroad—the only
one in tho oountry—from Berlin to Poti
dam, a distance of sixteen miles. When be
arrived at Berlin a commission was ap
pointed to examine the engines. They
weighed about ten tons, and bad a
single pair of driving wheels. Mr.
Sohults had old Frederiok William as
a passenger on his train frequently. He
wne held down to one hour lu which to run
the sixteen miles from Berlin to Potsdam,
but he frequently made batter time. On
one oooasion ho made the run in twenty
three minutes. “Oie nijght Prinoe Charles
came on ths train,” he said, “and ha said to
me, ’Don’t ran too slow.’ I let the engine
out and mads the run in twenty minutes. I
was fined for that, but I never gave the
prince away. In those days we used fiat
rails of soft iron spiked down on striDgers.
Onoe a rail got loose and shot upon the
top of my engine and struck the cars, but
no one ■ hurt. Another time a rail was
wrapped completely around one of the fly
wheels of the vagina end I had to pry it off.
I was paid *3,000 a year, but I asked for
more. One of the generals said: ‘Why,
that is mors than I get,’ to which I replied:
'Yes, but you only know about fizbting
and you don’t know auytbing about rail
roads." Mr. Sohultz remained one year in
Berlin and then went to Russia, Emperor
Nicholas I. having offered him
*6,000 a year and a house
to taka charge of toe railroad that
ran eighteen miles out of St. Petersburg—
the onlr road in the country. He remained
there twelve years, the liu# from Bt. Peters
burg (400 miles) being built during
that time. When he was asked to take
ooatrol of all the Russian railroads be was
required to sign a contract by whioh be
would have been held responsible for all
railroad aooideuts, and that did not salt
him. “If I had signed that,” he said,
laughingly; “I would have brought up in
Siberia." lie met Alexander 11. father of
ths present emperor, many times, and
knew all ths members of the royal family.
