THE FAMILY AND SOCIETY
D3. DOWMAK DISCU3SE3 THE RE
LATIONS BETWEEN THEM.
Branches of Early Education That
Should Not Ba Neglected—The First
Tear of a Child's Life the Most Im
portant-Other Questions of Home
Life Discussed.
Rev. C. E. Don-man continued his series
of sermons on the family and its reiat ons
to society at Wesley Monumental church
yesterday morning.
His subject was “The Home and the
School as Faotors In Education." His text
was from Matthew, xviii., 10: “Take heed
that ye despise not one of these little one’s.
“Christ’s attitude toward children,” said
Dr. Dow man, “marks him as divine; that bis
gospel takes note of children, lifts it above
the plane of ail other systems of religion.”
Dr. Dowmaa denounced the idea that be
cause the parent enjoyed but little oppor
tunity for self-improvement In childhood
the child has need of on better opportunities
and should be condemned to make the
struggle under the same conditions. Such
a theory, be said, is not only foolish, but
sinful. He said It is a mistake to think
that the education of a child begins
in the sobool room and is finished
when he leaves it. The eduoa
tion of a child begins in the first
year of its life, be said, and it learns more
in that year than in any year of its his
tory.
“The educational influence of the home
life before school days begin and through
sobool days is of more importance than any
school or college,” he said.
'“The band that rocks the cradle rules
the world.’ The tones of the mother's
voice, the touch of her hand, the way she
wears her olothes or arranges her hair, her
songs as she is busiest with domestic aaret,
or to the accompaniment of the sow lug
machine are all educative,” he oontinued.
"The home prepares for the school and
helps the school. Habits of obedience, at
tention, industry, good manners and good
morals aid the teacher’s work and make
school days happy and successful. Teach
ers oan read the story of home dlsolpltne in
the hearing of their pupils.”
Dr. Dowman discussed the subject from
the standpoints of the school under the
heads of "The House,” “The Teacher," and
“The Things to Be I ..earned." He consid
ered the child as an individual, as a citizen,
and as ‘‘God's man.”
As bd educator of long experience Dr.
Dowman was well qualified to discuss his
subject in a manner both Interesting and
instructive.
The congregation of St Patrick’s church
was given a rare treat of pulpit oratory last
night by ftev. Father Connaty, secretary
to Bubop O’Rielly of Springfield, Man.
His theme was "Temporauoe.”
Mo one is better fitted to speak upon such
a subject than Father Connaty. It may be
Bald that the reverend gentleman has da
voted the prinoipal part of his life to the
< auss. for slnoe he was 10 years old, at
which early age he took the pledge from
Arohbishop Gross of Oregon, who was then
a Redemptorist missionary, he has been au
earnest and enthusiastio advocate of tem
perance. Throughout Massachusetts Father
Connaty is known as one of the leaders of
the movement.
Last night’s sermon was entirely devoid
of the sensational features which tempers
ance orators usually work into the subject.
.It was striotly a religious address, in whioh
the eloquent priest iu well rounded periods
showed his hearers that total abstinence
from intoxicating liquors is a virtue which
pleases God and Is a bulwark against temp
tation to oominit sin.
There is no surer method of obtaining
and retaining the graoe of God, said Father
Connaty, than by being total abstainers.
Total abstinence gives to God and the
nation the brightest minds and the purest
hearts. It enables people to lead Christiau
lives and brings happinoss and oontentment
to the family.
“1 do not care,” he said, "to show you
the harrowing results of intemperance, for
that is already too well known. Rather look
ut the vision of the angel of peace guarding
the home of the total abstainer, where
reigns Christiau faith and love of God and
country.” To the moderate drinker was
given the warniug: "Take care lest thou
fall; take care lest an evil hour may come
when the bulwarks of tbe will, without the
grace God, may not beable to throw off the
temptation. There Is no telling when the
soul may be tossed uuon these troublous
Be as.”
Ttio speaker urged upon his hearers to
instill early into their iitllo ones the holy
virtue of temperance, that they might lie
armored in after life to withstand tempta
tion and live pure and hoporable lives.
“In honor of the sacred birth of Jesus.his
sacrifice upon the cross and tho love he
Lears for us,” said Father Connaty, "take
the temperance cause to heart and offer
lmn a little for much. Praotice total ab
stinence for Jove of God , love of neighbor
end for self-protection. It is a virtue in
spired by God him sell."
At ttie high mass at 10:30 o’clock, which
was celebrated by Father Mark E. Purcell
of Greenfield, Mass., Father Connaty
preached a short and entertaining sermon
upon "Charity."
THEY TAKE TO NEW YORK,
The f. frlcan Colonists Willing to Settle
There in Preference to Liberia.
The Arkansas aud Indian Territory ne
groes who started for Africa last month
ere still In Mew York and are likely to stay
there, for awhile anyway. Measures are
being taken for their relief. They have
lieen removed from the mission where they
Lave lieeu quartered and are scattered over
tbe city. George Washington, the patri
arch, still lemains firm In his determina
tion to proceed to Africa, but the majority
of bis followers have decided that New
York is good enough for them. They do
not even want to go baok to the point from
which they came.
THE FAMINE IN RUSSIA.
To Bo Taken Up by the Churches Next
Month.
The members of the Ministers’ Association
of tbe city decided at their last meeting to
present the subject of the condition of the
famine-stricken Russians to their congrega
tions and take up collections for their relief
during next month.
A sermon will be delivered each Sunday
in the month at one of tbe churches of the
Evangelical Alliance upon this subject.
Considerable interest has already been
aroused here by the reports of the famine
in Russia, and there is little doubt but that
liberal responses will be made to the ap
peals.
Tbe Belt Finished.
The Electric Railway Company ran cars
olong Duffy street to the cemetery yester
day. Cars could be run around the entire
belt but for the street at Gwinnett and West
Broad being torn up for the laying of the

LAST OF THE JOHN WESLEY.
Hew the Brig That was Lost Laet
Week was Given Her Name.
The old brig John Wesley has made her
last trip to this port. She has been lost at
sea Her crew was landed at Newport
News, Vs She sailed from Brunswick,
Feb. 13, bound for Baltimore with a cargo
of lumber, having previously sailed from
Savannah for Brunswick.
The brig was an old trader at this port,
having been runniug constantly between
here and Baltimore for many years. Capt.
Vangilder, her oorainander and part
owner, had many friends and acquaintances
here who sympathize with him in his mis
fortune, and the hope is expressed that he
will return soon in command of anew
vessel.
It was a remarkable fact that in
tbe whole course of the brig's
life of twenty-four years that Bhe should
have met with only one slight mishap until
she 4tM finally abandoned at sea. The
Baltimore Sun says of the vessel: The
John Wesley was built in Baltimore by J.
8. Beacbam & Bro., in 1858. She registered
♦35 tons, and'was a double-decked vessel 118
feot long; 80k feet beam and Hi feet deep.
Loud. Ajjaridge & Cos. and Capt. Alanson
Ford wgre tbe original owners. In Loud,
ClarioKe & Co’s office it was suggested that
tbe name of the vessel should be either
John Murray or John Wesley, tbe fathers
of Univeralism and Methodism, re
spectively. Mr. Granville Loud tossed the
copper, heads came up and John Wesley
was the name bestowed upon the vessel.
For many years Capt. Ford sailed the ves
sel. Capt. John H. Hines succeeded him as
master and managing owner. 8. B. Marts
& Cos., J. 8. Beacbam & Bro., and Capt.
Vangilder were the last owners of the ves
sel. All were partly insured. Capt. Alan
son Ford, who had the vessel built, recently
abandoned the bark Conquest at San
Miguel, Azores, because of her unsea
worthy condition.
UGLY AT ITS VERY BE3T.
February Promises to Go Out in a Dis
agreeable Way.
Yesterday was a raw, unpleasant day.
The maximum temperature was 50° and the
minimum 45°, the mean temperature being
9 M below the normal.
The total rainfall for the twenty-four
hours ending at 8 o’clock lost night was only
a trace. Generally fair weather pro rails
along the West Florida ooast, in the
Central and Western Gulf states, South
western Kansas, Western Nebraska and
extreme northwest. Elsewhere unsettled
conditions prevailed with snow falling in
the Missouri valley, Minnesota and North
ern Mirhlgan, and general oloudiness and
rain or snow from tbe Central and Upper
Mississippi valleys eastward to the At
lantic, throughout the South Atlantic states
and along tuo East Florida ooast.
A trough of comparative low pressure ex
tends from tbe lake region southward to
the Central Gulf, oeDtering in the Ohio
valley. A second "low” apparently centers
off the East Florida coast. An area of high
Sressure covers the North Atlantio and
ew England states, and a second "high”
Is moving in from the extrome northwest.
Of the fifty regular reporting weather
bureau stations, thirty-one reported pre
cipitation as having fallen during the
twelve hours ending 3 o’clock Inst night.
Tbe heaviest fall reported was 1.41 inches
at Hattora*.
The forecast for Savannah and vicinity is:
Rain, oontlouod iow temperature.
MUST LIVE UP TO THE RULES.
Georgia Catholics Don't Get the Fa
vors Others Do.
The Lenten regulations published in yes
terday’s Morning News were read at the
masses in all of the Catholic ohurchea of the
oity yesterday.
Although Popa Leo granted the bishops
the power to dispense with the regu
lar observance of Lent wherever
it should be deemed expedient
on account of the prevalence
of the grip Bishop Becker decided it un
necessary to make use of the faculty given
him by Rome, and therefore the observance
of the Lenten period will be as strict as
ever in tbe diocese of Georgia.
Bishop Northrop of the South Carolina
diooase, however, has granted the dispensa
tion allowed by the pope through a circu
lar to the Roman Catholics of the state. He
dispenses the faithful of his diocese from
fastiug and abstinence on all the days of
except Fridays. Friday will remain a
day of abstinence for all and of fasting
also for those who are not exempt by rea
son of age, physioial condition or exhaust
ing labor.
TWO BOLD BURGLARIES.
Colored People the Victims in Both
Instances.
Some time Saturday night, or early yes
terday morning, burglars entered the
servauts’ quarters of Judge Harden’s resi
dence at Gwinnett and Lincoln streets, and
stole SSO in cash, gome jewelry, and a
quantity of clothing belonging to David
DeLyon and wife, the oolorod occupants.
Tlie burglars effeoted an entrance by
forcing one of tbe lane windows. The mat
ter was reported to the police, but up t > 1
o’clock this morning no traoe of the
burglars had been secured.
A house at Lumber and New streets, oc
cupied by colored people, was also entered
by burglars during Saturday night. Two
trunks of clothing and other small articles
were carried off.
AMONG THE MYBTEBIOU3.
No Further Developments In the Con
spiracy Cares.
There are no further developments In the
supposed conspiracy to asiassinate Mayor
McDonough or the attempted burning of
Polioeman Kavanaugh’s bouse beyond those
already published in the Morning News.
The officers working the cases, while defin
ing to give any information, say that When
the developments do come, which is stated
will be soon, they will prove to be of a highly
sensational obaraoter. showing up a conspir
acy as foul as that which brought about the
assassination of Chief of Police llennessy in
New Orleans.
THB HIGHEST SINCE ’Bl.
The Tides Overflow the Lowlands
Around the City.
Saturday’s tide in the Savannah river was
the higheit known in this vicinity since the
great storja of 1881. The water covered
the lauds east of the city in many places,
but no damage was done.
The water was deepest upon the Lawton
lands, and Alderman Carson, chairman of
the drainage committee of council, im
mediately put the dry culture force to work
to turn tbe water off. This prompt action
no doubt prevented what would most likely
have otherwise resulted in serious damage,
and saved considerable money to the city.
YOUNG BUTI IV ’i’S KILLING.
A Verdict of Death From a Gunshot
Wound.
Tbe coroner’s investigation of the killing
of Charles Sutllve, the boy who shot himself
night before last, developed no further facts
than those published iu yesterday's Morn
ing News. The family still believe it to
have been accidental, and as there was no
positive evidence proving otherwise, a ver
diot of simply death from a gunshot wound
was rendered.
Sutlivo’s funeral took place yesterday
afternoon at 3:30 o’clock, and was largely
attended. Thu interment was In Laurel
Grove cemetery.

TIIE MORNING NEWS: MONDAY, FEBRUARY 29,1892.
DENIED BUTMAYBETRUE
THE EAM ROAD’S DEAL FOR THE
SAVANNAH AND WESTERN.
A General Impression That It E*a
Been Consummated and Only Awaits
to be Officially Announced—A Prob
able Line to be Built If tbe Deal is
Not Made.
Tbe impression is pretty general that a
deal of some kind has been consummated
by which the Savannah, Araericu* and
Montgomery railroad has obtained control
of that portion of the Savannah and
Western between .Meldrim and Lyons.
That it has been made, a:.d only awaits tbe
arranging of the neoesoary preliminaries to
be given to the public officially, is denied,
however, by tbe Interested roads, which is
a usual modo of prooedure among railroads
more or less until evsrytblng has been
satisfactorily arranged.
The publication in Saturday’s Morning
News of tne efforts of tbe Savannah.
Americas and Montgomery to gel control of
the Savannah and Western either by pur
chase or lease from the Richmond and Dan
ville, which was the first publication in the
state, caused considerable talk and specula
tion among Bavannabians as to tbe final
outcome.
Tbe opinion of those who do not think a
deal has he -n made is that the Richmond
and Danville will accept the terms of Col.
Hawkins as a matter of self-protection.
Without tbe extension of the Savannah and
Western to a good connection, and with a
fine paralleling it from Lyons to Savannah,
the road would be dead wood to the big
system, a source of expense without any
revenue being derived. The disposal of the
property to the Sam would in no wise
weaken the Richmond and Danville, but
would be tne getting rid of what now is on
unprofitable branch.
The Savannah und Western is bonded
pretty heavily, but the Bam road has done
such a prosperous business and will continue
to do so in increased volume with a line to
Savannah that it can well afford to take
the Savannah and Western with all its
burdens.
Probably before the end of this week
there will be some definite announcement
whether the 3am has got the Richmond and
Danville branch or whether it will be com
pelled to build to Savannah. If the latter
turns ont to be the ca°e the work of • build
ing the extension from Lyons paralleling
the Savannah and Western will commence
at once and will bo pushed rapidly with a
large force of hands.
TO HAVE SPRING BASE BALL.
Manager Barnle to Bring tbe Wash
ingtons Here for Practice.
The base ball fever has now taken posses
sion of Savannah and active steps wifi be
taken at an early day to organize a city
league, taking in the C. L. A., Y. M. C. A.,
Y. M. H. A. and some of the military or
ganizations.
Mr. J. B. Connolly, captain of the C. L.
A. foot ball team, is now organizing a base
hall nine among the library membors to
cross 'bats with the Washington league
club, which will arrive here about Maroh
13 and remain till about April 1 for
praotlce.
The Washingtons will put themselves in
shape here for tbe coming season, and
Manager Sarnie doesn’t think they will be
the tail enders at the close, as has been the
cose for a loug time.
The Washingtons will play thres games
with tbe C. L. A. and will also try to arrange
games with other local nines, The C. L. A.
club will he the strongest amateur nine
ever got together in Savannah and the
Capitol oity boys will not have a very easy
time in defeating it.
The Philadelphia league club bas deckled
to praotioe iu Gainesville during March,
aud the Washingtons will endeavor to in
duce them to come here for au exhibition
of professionals.
After leaving Savannah the Washingtons
will play exhibition games with the Colum
bia Atbletio Club April 3, University of
Vermont April 4, University of Pennsyl
vania April 5, and Dartmouth College AdHI
12. Manager Barnie hopes to arrange other
games with eastern league teams.
Mauager Barnie says he wifi under no
circumstances surrender claim to Second
Hasemaa Richardson, or consent to any ex
change or transfer of the player. Ho de
plores the lovers of the game in Washing
ton want Richardson to ploy on their team,
aud the second baseman must either yield
to their wishes and thu decision of the ap
portionment committee or net play at all.
The members of the Washington toam who
have so far uot beeu signed are Knell, Kil
len, Dolan, Gastright, H. Richardson and
Second Baseman D. Richardson.
A letter from O’Connell, who finished
last season with the Orioles and was after

President James A. Williams of the west

larly at his home In Lawrence, Mass.
A NEW MILITARY COMPANY.
The Bavannah Cadets, Jr., Ready for
Active Service.
The military spirit in Capt. J. F. Brooks’
family has not stopped with the captain
himself but bas descended upon the younger
member* of the family.
Jordan F. Brooks, Jr., has organized a
company of boys in the southern portion of
the city under the name of the Savannah
Cadets, Jr.
The voung company of very young men
has about twenty-five members, whose
ages vary from 8 to 14 years, the average
being about 10 yearn. The officers are:
Captain—Jordan Brook*.
First Lieutenant—Wiliie Geffoken.
Second Lieutonant—Willie Baldwin.
First Sergeant—Horace Brooks.
Second Sergeant—Pratt Adams.
There are a uumber of distinguished
names upon the roll and tbe boys will doubt
less do themselves and their sires great
credit.
SOME OBEYED, SOME DIDN’T.
No Docket Coses of Violations of the
Blue Laws Yesterday,
The state Sunday law was vigorously ob
served yesterday among the barber shop*,
fruit stauds and some of the drug stores.
Some of the news stands carried on business
as usual, while others obeyed tbe old blue
laws. The green groceries were closed, and
any one who depended upon getting meat
yesterday was disappointed.
No oases were docketed at the barracks.
Tbe action of the juries in the city court
in the oases of the fruit dealers is sufficient
evidence that Savannahiaus are against the
strict enforcement of the blue laws, and
they will likely go back to the sleep they
enjoyed for many years, and from which
they were almo*t ruthlessly awakened a few
weeks ago.
To Enlarge Its Quarters.
The Catholic Library Association is con
templating the enlargement of its hall at
Drayton, MoDonough and Perry street* by
taking in the two dwolllng bouse* adjoiniug
the rear. This will give about thirty feet
additional room and will greatly add to the

TO PUT UP THE BUILDING.
The New Office structure to Begin
April 1.
J. O. Wynn, state agent of the Provident
Savings and Life Assurance Society of New
York, is at the De Soto. Mr. Wynn said
last night that the question of tbe offioe
building, which his company proposed to*
erect at Brvan and Drayton streets, is not
fully settled yet. It is believed, however,
thstjtbe building will be erected.
Mr. Wynn said that the tenants of the
present buildi gs on the company’s prop
erty on tbe northeast corner of Bryan and
Drayton streets were notified Saturday to
vacate the premises within thirty days, ac
cording to contract. April 1 the work of
tearing down the present buildings will be
begun. The notice to tenants to vacate and
the tearing down of the buildings is consid
ered a pretty good sign that ans building
will soon occupy the site of the old one.
Mr. Wynn, while he said the matter was
not fully determined, gave an idea of the
building now under consideration by the
company. It will be four stories in bight,
occupying tbe full space of the lot, 6dx9o
feet, built of buff brick with terracotta
trimm'ngs, with large windows ard large
plate glass door fronts. The building will
be similar in appearance to the new court
house. A wide bail way will divide the cen
ter of the building, with a l*rge entrance
with marble wainscoting. The building
will be equipped with an elevator and steam
heaters and will be handsomely finished,
both Interior and exterior. It will be an
ornament to that portion of the city and
will compare favorably with the new board
of trade building near by.
Mr. Wynn desires to have tbe first floor
ocedpied by two banks. He haa secured
one bank, and is now negotiating for an
other. The upper floors will be fitted for
offices.
Mr. Wynn said that owing to discourag
ing statements made as to the situation the
company came near abandoning the idea of
the building altogether, but It gathered
confidence after inspecting the field. The
encouragement shown and the inducement
given to the enterprise, he said, would havo
its effect upon the character of the building
erected.

tbe rows of pease very shortly.
This is where the truok farmer makes his
money, in making the same land grow two
crops almost at the same time.
If there is no severe cold Mr. Ryals will
make pease for shipment bv May 20.
Maj. Ryals’ farm comes next. He has ten
acres of pease equally as fine as his brother’s.
These pease were planted the first week In
January. They are now 6 to 10 inches
high and will be in bearing the latter part
of next month.
CABBAGE HIS BOAST.
Maj. Ryals’ field of cabbage is his boast,
however. He has thirty acres of as hearty
looklug cabbages as can ba seen anywhere.
They are of the early summer and Jersey
Wakefield varieties, aud Maj. Ryals de
clares he oan almost see them grow. They
were planted in October and November, but
only appeared above the ground a few
weeks ago. They will come on the market
in April. Cabbages will bring a high
price this year. The Florida crop
is small and poor, and the Norfolk
crops have been severely hurt by the cold,
so that the Savannah farmers will practi
cally oontrol tbe field. Maj. Ryals expects
the returns from bis thirty acres of cab
bages to repay him all his farm has already
cost him this year and give him a year’s
living for himself and family besides. This
will make all bis other crops clear profit.
Maj. Ryals planted ?50 barrels of pota
toes—about sixty aores—this year, and the
prospects are for a large crop. Potatoes are
not expected to bring the high prices tbit
year that they did last year. Maj. Ryals
paid SI,OOO for seed potatoes last year. This
year he planted from home-raised seed and
sold $750 worth besides. He is $1,750 ahead
of last year on this item alone.
DIVERSIFIED TRUCK.
Maj. Ryals also has a la'ge quantity of
spinach, beets and Carrots up aud growing,
and nis hot bed is full of tomato and pepper
plants, which will soon be transplanted.
His bed of winter oelery Is as fine as can be
seen anywhere and the celery is us orisn and
fresh as any that was ever brought from
Kalamazoo. He also has a very floe bed of
onions. Hit barn, which stauds in the
midst of the farm, is a huge structure
and is filled with labor-saving
machinery, such as is probably
unknown upon any farm in Georgia eutside
of Chatham county. To show how a truck
farmer makes a fortune where a col ton
farmer would starve. Maj. Ryals expects to
commence planting beans between his pea
rows shortly, and he will next plant a row
of tomatoes upon each side of the beans be
fore the pease are harvested. He also ex
pects to get a crop of hay off the land this
fall after the other crops ere harvested.
Thus he will get tour crops off of the same
laud this year.
TO KEEP THE LAND BUSY.
The idea in truck farming, Maj. Ryais
says, is never to let the land lie idle if it is
possible to help it.
Mr. L. M. Ryais has about 150 acres in
truck adjoining his brother’s plaoe. He has
about 100 acres of potatoes. His pease and
cabbage are very fine.
Fell ft Jones have some very good crops
oiqthe Augusta road. Dr. Norton also has
a large piece of land in potatoes near by.
The Schley place arouud the old Ten
Broeck race oourse is planted In cabbages
and pease, both of which make a flue show
ing.
The Exleys and others all have large
crops of pease, potatoes and ether truck fur
ther west and north of this locality.
Altogether it is estimated, including
small as well us large planters, that there
ore nearly 1,000 acres in potatoes in Chat
ham oounty, about 500 each iu pease aud
cabbage or rather more of the latter than
the former, and perhaps about sl*o aores lu
other truck.
2,500 ACRES IN TRUCK.
At an outside estimate this would make
about 2,500 acres in truck in Chatham coun
ty this year. The aoreage iu truck is about
the same as last year.
The Bay street road, or Bay street ex
tended, is a great improvement to this sec
tion of the country, and makes a fine drive.
The farmers and residents of the entire
portion of the county west of the oity are
In hopes that the county commissioners
will open and improve Styles avenue and
extend it south to Ogeechee road.
This would give the farmers bringing in
their products an air line almost from the
Ogeechee road to Bay street extended,
from which it is but a short distance to the
Ocean Steamship Company’s wharf and into
the city. The distauce to the Ocean Steam
ship Company’s wharf would be shortened
more than one half.
if the crops turn out os expected and
prices are good Chatham county’s truck
farmers will be a happy lot this year.

A gentleman who recently traveled over
the South Bound railroad states that be
counted over 200 new houses between
Columbia aud this city. Some of the houses
were completed and occupied, aud others in
course of erection. It will not be very long

on the line of the South Bouud. The couutry

R. 8. Hayes, president of the New York
and Northern railroad, is mentioned as the
coming president of the reorganized Rich
mond Terminal Company. There was a
report on Wall street Saturday that Mr.
Hayes has been offered the position.but that
he has not made up bis mind yet whether or
not he will acoept. It is rumored that with the
reorganization of the Richmond and Dan
ville tne name will be changed to the Wash
ington and Great Southern Railroad Com
pany.
It is not so very long since, says the Rail
way Ape.that $50,000,000 was considered an
extraordinary amouut to bo represented in
a railway property, and when a few years
ago one of the greatest companies consoli
dated its indebtedness into a bond issue of
$160,000,000, all the world wondered. But
now one plan for reorganizing the Rich
mond and West Point Terminal contem
plates an issue of $500,000,000 in securities
of the new company, and the deal of the
coal companies with a combined capitaliza
tion of $600,000,000 is a matter of current
talk. This tendency, however, is not con
fined to railway companies but characterizes
ail financial interests. This is merely tbe
day of large things.
General Manager Kenley of the Atlantio
Const Line said, in Charleston day before
yesterday, that tbe laying of the track on
the Wilßou Short Cut has been completed,
and the company will begin running local
freights over the new route within the next
thirty days. The railroad had anticipated
having the cut finished at an earlier date,
but the work has been greatly retarded by
unseasonable weather, it does not now ex
be able to use the cut for passenger
traffic beforeuhe autumn. The out is sixty
miles in length, runs through one of the
most prosperous farming countries of the
section, will reduce the time for a through
trip by nearly two hours and makes the
shortest practical line between Savannah
and Charleston and Norfolk and points
east.
The New York Commercial Advertiser
puts it in this way : One can easily see the tel
egraph following the modern highway (the
railway from Jaffa to Jerusalem) and the
American hotel springing up in the shadow
of Zion. The _ express company will open
its office at Nazareth, and she messenger
boy will jostle the Levite in the Jews’ w&il
ing place. Suburban villas will spring up
on the Mount of Olives, aud the newspaper
press will begin to rattle in tbe Via Dolo
rosa and push its reporters through the
Golden Gate to the temple area itself. The
wedge has entered Palestine. The iron
horse will wake tbe eohoes in all the wadys
of Judea, where nature herself has slept
over since Titus outraged her. And the
world will continue to look on with un
abated wonder as this sainted mummy is
transfused with the stirring blood of our
times.

Trust and Safe Deposit Company against
the Green Cove Spring and Melrose Rail
road Company, the Western Railway Com

Tho Connecticut Mutual Llfelnaurance
Company.
The 43th annual report of the Connecticut
Mutual Life Insurance Company appears
in another column of this issue. During
the past year it has made satisfactory gains
in premiums, assets, surplus, and business
in force. It still maintains its old-time
economy of management, and has strength
ened itself in rnauv particulars; it has
adopted a more liberal scale of dividends
out of its growing surplus, is further de
creasing the current cost of insurance while
paying strict adherence to future safety.
This company is strictly mutual, and does
no tontine business. They pay their divi
dends annually, or allow them to accumu
late at the option of the policy holder. They
have adopted a most approved plan of life
insurance, and their present issue of policies
have their guaranteed cash and paid-up
values printed on them and made a part of
the contract.
The report from the New York state
commissioners shows surplus by the com
pany’s standard to be S6.gSS:ISS 81: surplus
by states’ reports exceeds <3,650,CM); gross
assets, <59,738,479 95; ratio of dividends for
the past twenty years has been 34.31 per
cent. This excellent exhibit proves that
the percentage of expense in conducting the
business of the Connecticut Mutual Life
Insurance Compauy is grSStlv reduced as
compared with many other companies in
this country.
