Newspaper Page TextA VIEW OF SAVANNAH PRESENTED BY A TOURIST FROM THE NORTH. Growing: Winter Kesort-Why Peo ple Like to Come to the Forest City, totaethlng About the Hotels and Other Matters of In teres'. From the Sew York Timet. It la more than twenty-eight year* since C ren . Sherman wrote to President Lincolu: ••I aend you the capture of Savannah as a Christmas present.” Two weeks before jl,at ta bad taken Fort McAllister, not by charge of the 400, though the fort was named, I understand, after some of Ward McAllister's ancestors. “Sherman cut his connections with the nor b," the histories tell us. “and deter mined to live upon the country.” But it was not as good a country to live upon in these days as it is now. The De Soto hotel was not built then, and there crere -no oar lcmis of New York beef jr< • , southward everyday. Living upon the —:utry then meant hog and hominy in small quantities. Jn these days the yankees do not jive upon the country, the country lives upon the yankees. I have never seen any estimate of how many northerner* are housed for long or short periods in Savan nah every winter, but it must be a great many tb userids. for Savanuah is the gate way to the winter south, not Jacksonville. Some idea of the number of Now Yorkers sloue who go down may be formed from this: Every desirable state room in the Sa vannah steamships is engaged tor days in advance, sometimes uven for weeks, though tture ore four steamers a week; and it is the same with sleeping-car sections over the Allantio Coast Line—and these are the two ways of reaching Savannah. Not only it this the case now, in Moroh, but it was the case early in January. When I started southward I had to go on three hours notice, because there happened to be a vacant soction that ulght, but there was nothing else to be had tor days. With three of these trains every day and four of these steamships every week, and all going crowded, It is easy to see that Savannah is familiar to a large number of New There are more marks of the revolution than of the rebellion iu Savannah. There are monuments to Greene, Jasper and Pu laski ; but the greatest monument of all may be seeu all over the city in the busy streets, the handsome buildings, the ships in harbor—this is the monument to present prosperity, which is better than anything that oan be erected to thirty years ago or J2O years ago. Savannah was founded by Oglethorpe; and from what I see of Ogle thorpe’s work throughout Georgia I am foroed to the conclusion that be must have been considerable of a man. It U a pity he is not alive now to see the Oglethorpe hotel id Brunswick, and glory in his fame. His selection of the site for Savannah in 1733 shows that ho was a great man. He selected the only high land on the river bank, with rice swamps all around it. A smaller mau might have put the city in the swamp. The high land runs along the river bank for a mde or more, and extends back about six miles into the country, growing wider as it runs farther back. Here Savannah stands, with the river in front. Though it *a* not chartered as a city until 1789, Ogle* tborpe laid it out with a view to the future, and the result is one of the finest cities on the Atlantic coast. Another thing that *h >ws Oglethorpe’s wisdom is his going far enough south to insure fine weather. Sa vannah is about ten miles further south than Iho southernmost point of Bermuda, and its climate is delightful. Its streets, erasing at right angles, are broad and finely shaded, and at frequent intervals there are well-kept little parks, varying in size from an acre to three acres. There are twenty-four of these little parks, and in spring aud summer Savannah is one big garden. There is no winter as we know it in the north; all the year the trees are green and the grass is green. There are some haudsome aud ex pensive modern houses, but none of these, to my mind, can compare with the oiid, old-fashioned dwellings to be seen on every hard, with broad fronts and ivy climbing over them, and hospitality written over tbeir front doors. Savannah is a pleasant place to spend a winter, with good hotels, a comfortable and healthy climato, plenty of amusements, and some of the largest and best stores to be found in the south. But it is more of a stopping place for people who are on tbeir way to Florida or some of the Georgia winter resorts. Hundreds stay, thousands goon; but among the thousands there are many who stay for a short time to see the city. They used to stay to rest after the journey from New York ; but now the jour ney from New York, whether by land or sea, is so easy that even invalids rarely think of stopping merely to rest. There are many advantages in being in a place of some size when away from home for health or pleasure—advantages so obvious that It would be wasting time to enumerate them. Time was when most of the big winter resorts of the south, particu* lurly Florida, were away from civilization, far away from large towns. But all that has changed. Vv here the hotels stood alone, towns have sprung up around them, and where there were small towns they have grown larger. Charleston, Savannah, Jacksonville, St. Augustine and Tampa— thoee are principal winter places on the main routes of travel, and thev are all cities. It is only within a few years that the southern cities have made any great prepa ration for winter visitors, outside of Florida. But the demand for accommodations came, and the supply soon followed. In Savannah the Pulaski house, the Screven and the Marshall were fer years the principal hotels, and unless report belles them very much, they were not particularly attract ive. When visitors began to crowd into Savannah, however, they polished up the handles of their big front doors and became more comfortable. Still there was demand for something larger and better, and tbe De Soto was built. Its proprietors knew what toey were doing, for it is the best hotel that coes the business. Northerners do not go down south asking “Where can I find a reasonably good hotel at a moderate price?” The question almost invari ably is: “What is the best hotel in this towDi” In Savannah the only answer to mis question, is, “the De Soto.” The an nouncements call it “oue of the finest and most complete hotels in the world,” and |hey do not exaggerate in the least. The i- . would be a fine hotel ia New York, it , r ' s ' in Q ny the capitals of the world. “ “as accommodations for more than 509 Euests, and its equipment and appointments •reperfect throughout. Watson & Pow ers. its proprietors, take pains to make it 6 sort of stopping place that northern hsitors want, and they are reaping their ‘®*ard. It is largely owing to the De Soto ; 6at s o many visitors remain in Savannah, loitead of going on farther. They find a mmfortablo home there, and find the Ba “mrkh climate to their liking. ' hat is the climate of Savannah!” per “tissome one will ask. It is the same as climate of Jacksonvllle. In faot. you h*ke Charleston end Savannah :? a Jacksonville, and the climate 1 the three is practically the same, ‘‘though Savannah is in the same latitude ? “scniuda, even a shade farther south, it “°t as warm as Bermuda. There is not muob green vegetation iu winter, and, on ’“•other haud.tbere are not tbe high winds '' Bermuda, The grass Is green in winter, Just after an unusually heavy frost, i, ’ bona few days of tbe warm sun brings ®Raln. It Is a much greener place in '“hr than Jacksonville, because there are ~ r * trees of the kinds that do not lose ,1. le ret. There are flowers blooming , *ry month in the year. There it no day •h. v fsr W |j, D || |, Do | pleasant in tbe 2*® Mr, as far as temperature goes. “It le, r * ’’•* bathing In winter!” somebody will B i_ ,ur ® to ask. That question will me no surprise, lor I have peopia Mho expected to And winter eea bathing at old Point Comfort. There is none at Savannah; there la none at Jacksonville nor at St. Angustino. There Is none even at New Orleans. The nearest point to New York where there is certain and pleasant bathing in winter is Tampa, Fla. The water Is not warm enough to be safe or comfortable for winter bathing at any of the Northern Florida places. People some times “go in” at St. Augustine in win ter aud do not die from it, but it is a risk not worth taking and It ia not comfortable. Charleston aod Jacksonville are some dis tance apart, but tbe distance U not enough to affect the t mperature appreciably. Ta :e up tbe paper any mormag and look at the weather reports, aud nine times out of ten you will find that it it as warm in Charles ton as it is in Jacksjnvilln. Savannah is the seaport for a great and growing section of country. It is growing agriculturally as well as commercially. My recent article on Thoniasvllle has bn ught to me the story of a wealthy New Yorker who has been making some agricultural ex periment* in that neighborhood with great results. Tbe gentleman was a New York business man, retired, with plenty of money, which was rather in his favor, and with just about as much knowledge of farming as such a man might be expected to have. He bought a large plantation near Thomas vllle, tj amuse himself with while the climate was building up bis health, and em ployed a colored man to superintend it. One day he walked out over bis lauds and came upon an immense field fu.l of stumps with a few plow scratches he.ween them, preparatory to sowing grain.) “ Why don't you take these stamps out?” be asked bis farmer. “O, you oan'tdone take dem stumps out; we'se tried dat. Dem roots, der runs clear troo to China,” the farmer replied. “That’s not far,” said the New Yorker; “I think we’ll take them out.” It is not the custom of that conntry to take stumps out. Why should they when, if you let them alone for ten or fifteen years, they will come out themselves! But the New Yorker forthwith wrote for the advertisements of three or four different kiuds of stump pullers aud selected tbe ma chine he liked beet. Thau be wrote a letter something like this to tbe stump-machine men: “Here I have so many hundred acres of land, and every acre of it full of stumps. I want them puliel out. Thoy tell me here they cau’ l* pulled out. If you think your machine will do it you can send one down ou trial. If it pulls the stumps I will buy it.” Tbe machine arrived, and it pulled those stumps out so fast that it fairly made tbe ground hot. In a few weeks he had three of the machines at work, and his fields were soon cleared of stuinpe. Then this New Yorker saw his farmers sowing grain by band, and be asked them: “Why don’t you use a grain drill?” “We don’t use no suoh machines in dis country,” the boss told him. “Dey ain’t no good 'longside of our hands.” •'Well, you let this field stand for a week,” said the New Yorker, “and I’ll have a machine here that will sow it properly.” The grain drill made a smsatlon before it started from New York. A grain drill, actually a grain drill, billed for Thomas ville. Nobody had ever heard of such a thing. But the drill went down, and tbe field was sowed with It. It was the big field that the Btumps had been taken from, all nioely plowed after northern notions, and thoroughly manured. When the grain came up, it was the wonder of the country: so straight, so even,so thick! Then, after seed time came tbe harvest. “How do you propose to cut that grain!” he asked the farmer. “We always does do it by hand,” that worthy replied. “Dem machines dey won’t go troo dis silo; it’s too soft. An’ dat t’lck grain? Dey ain’t no machias’ll go troo dat.” “Yes there is,” said the New Yorker. “There will be a machine here in about ten days that will go through that grain. It’s got to go through.” The darky shook his head, but the ma chine came. So thick was the grain that it took five mules to drag it along; but it weut, laying the rye this side and that in sheaves ready for the harvesters. It was a beautiful crop, equal to anything to be raised in the north, and it was all done with modern machinery that “won’t work in deso parts, nohow.” That one field was only a sample of other fields, and that one farru is only a sample of many other farms. Some day, when all these vast Georgia forests, or nearly all of them.are turned into pine boards,and all the stumps are pulled out by machinery, and all the land is sowed with drills, and the grain Is reaped with reapers, I wonder how enough ships will gel up the Savannah river to carry all the grain away. This is not a fancy picture; it is only a forecast of what is certainly ooming. Here is Georgia, with its 1,000,000 population in 1870, 1,5.0,- 000 in 1880, 2,000,000 nearly in 1890; how many millions fifty years hence! And can all these millions of people afford to have their land covered with pine forests? This Thomasvilla incident is not a start ling incident in itself, but an illustration of what the Georgia land will do under proper cultivation. Political Sentiment in Florida. Orlando, Fla., March 14. Editor Morning Newt: For the past two or three weeks a number of articles have appeared in your paper from Florida whioh are en tirely misleading in regard to tbe sentiment of the people in Orange county for ohoioe of a presidential candidate. In the pas three weeks I have seen most rf the repre sentative men of the county and find that fully three-fourths ure in favor of Mr. Cleveland or noy good man but Mr. Hill. In faot, quite a number have said they would not vote for Mr. Hill if be received the nomination. The Hill Club, organised in Orlando a few weeks ago, is oomposed of a mere hand ful of local politicians who are in accord with Tammany and its practice, aud would rather see the Democratic party go to the wall than to lose their rations from the pub lic crib.

THE VON PER HOY AS’ FARE WELL. A Delightful Concert Complimentary to Their Savannah Friends. The Von der Hoy a family made its fare well appearanco at Cathollo Library hall last night iu a most delightful concert at tended by a representative musical aidieooe which more than filled the hall, many peo ple standing throughout tbe entire evening. Prof, and Mme. von der Hoy a have formed so important a part of tbe musical life of this city during tbe last fifteen years, that their decision to leave Savannah is a cause for very general regret. Musicians of their artistic qualifications are not too common anywhere, and the musical circles of Atlanta are to be con gratulated upon such an addition as the Von der Hoyaj aud their gifted son. The programme of tbe concert opened with the “Grande Polonaise” iu li flat, one of the most charming of the many great works of that p et of the piaio, Frederic Chopin. The exquisitely melodic intro duction in G is a test of the pia ist's powers in legato playing, and Mme. von der Hoya gave a most satisfactory rendering of this part of the work. Iler playing of the Po lonaise proper was full of fire, and the ease with which she overcame is technical dif ficulties. which are by no means small, showed her to be possessed of no ordinary powers. Schumann’s Papillons, which is remark able for va- iety or to ;e coloring and parts of which are deliciously, even humorously, delicate and graceful, was also giveu a most happy and artistio rendering. The F.rlking transcription by Liszt of Schubert’s famous song, whatever may be thought of its musical value, served to dis play the mastery of the player In produc ing masilve tone effects, aud was evidently enjoyed by the audieuoe. Perhaps the obief interest of tbe evening was centered in tbe playing of the talented young violinist, Amadeo von der Hoya.who has lately returned from Germany, where he has completed his studies with the famous Dr. Joachim, Emile Sauret and others. His choice of tbe great Meudelssohn con certo was a test of any player’s abi'ities, and to say that the young man gave an earnest, musioianly and satisfactory render ing of this work is high praise. His tone i3 surprisingly full, and even passionate in quality, and his Handling of technical diffi culties, which ore severe even for the great est virtuoso, was such as to arouse decided enthusiasm even among those who have heard many famous violinists. Young von der Hoya’s playing rf the celebrated Andante movement was perhaps most enjoyed, though bis handling of the last movement, with its difficult double stops, excited much praise. He was also heard to advantage in the well-known “Vieuxtemps Fantasle,” and euded the pro gramme with a spirited performance of the same author's “Polonaise.” Young von der Hoya shows not only the possession of a very rare musical organization, but charms by that repose and ease in overcoming difficult bowings, whioh can only be the result of careful study under the best masters. Evea in this day, when fine players are common, it is evident that this young artist is likely to achieve a reputation. 1 be Von der Hoyas aro oortainlv entitled to the thanks of their many friends for tbe opportunity to hear them before their de parture, and will take with them the good wishes of the music lovers of this city. Mme. von der Hoya was the recipient of several bouquets of flowers, and her play ing, as was that of profess>r and the younger Von der Hoya, was enthusiastically applauded. THE RIVER AND HARBOR. Cbr.

New Fork Bam. It would be difficult to msssure the in terest and comment, not to say excitement, which the published letter of Dr. R. A. Gunn, which appeared in the papers yester day, has occasioned. Tne prominence of the dootor and tbe nnusual nature of tbe letter have both tended to add Interest to tbe subject and make it really the talk of the town. I called upon Dr. Gunn at his residence. No. 124 West Forty-nevsnth street, yoster day afternoon. I found the reception room crowded, and it was only after an hour’s waiting that I succeeded lu obtaining an in terview. Dr. Gunn is a distinguished !o king man, and lmpres*ed me at once hy his manly bearing and air of sincerity. 1 took the seat be courteously offered me„atid said: “Are you aware, doctor of the commotion your letter has caused?” Dr. Gunn smiled, aud replied: “Things out of the ordinary u-ually cause comment. It is not a common tbiug for physicians to indorse and cordially recommend medicines ether than those in the Materia Medico. History is full of instances of sc entists who have lndorsjd discoveries they believe to be valuable, and have been denounced for so doing, and yet these same discoveries are blessing the world to-day. I hope 1 have the manhood and courage to be true to my convictions, and that, ia why I so openly and unhesitatingly indorse Warner’s Hate Cure as being the greatest of modern dis coveries for the cure of diseases which have la filed tbe highest skill of the medical pro fession.” I was Impressed with the earnestness of the dootor, and saw that be meant every word that be said. “How long have you known of this rem edy, doctor ?’’ I asked. “Nearly ten years,” he replied. “My at tention was originally called to the Safe Cure by a serious case of Bright's and sense which was considered hopeless, and yet, much to my surprise, under its use the patient recovered. I have tried it in other cases since then constantly, and my original faith in its power has been confirmed. 1 have seen patients recover from inflamma tion of the bladder, gravel and Bright’s disease when ad other treatment had failed, and I have found it especially efficient in all female troubles." “Can you speoify any particular cares, doctor !” I asked. “That is a delicate thing to do,” the doc tor replied; “but, a* I always keep a writ ten record of my cases, I can accommodate you." Thereupon the doctor opened his desk and produced his record book. Turning over the leaves, he said: "Here is a case of a gentleman who was a great sufferer from inflammation of the bladder of long standing. He had consulted a number of physicians without benefit. When first consulted I myself trlod the usual methods of treatment, but without Buooss, and I finally advised him to try Waruer’s Safo Cure. Ho felt better from the start, and in a few weeks was entirely cured.” The doctor turned a few pages further, and then said: “Here is another case. It is that of a gentleman who had frequent attacks of renal calculi, which, as you know, is gravel forming in the kidneys. He had never been ante to prevent these formations, but after an unusually severe attack I recom mended him to try the Hite (Jure, whioh he did, and, although it is three years since he took tbe remedy, he ha# never bad an attack since.” The doctor continued to tarn the leaves of his book, and suddenly exclaimed: "Here is a most remarkable oase. It Jis that of a lady who had suffered some time from Bright’s disease. She beoomos enciente, and about the fourth month suddenly be came blind, had convulsions and finally fell Into a state of coma, caused by urotnlc or kidney poison. Several pbysioians who saw her said she could not live, and in this view I fully conourrod. As she could still swallow I said, as a last resort, that they might try Warner’s Safe Cure. They did so, and to the surprise of every one* she recovered. She has since given birth to a living child, and is perfectly well.” “Those are certainly most wonderful cases, doctor," I said, “and while I do not for a moment question tbeir authentioity I should consider It a great favor If you would give me their names. I think tbe Importance of the subject would fully justify it.” “In tbe interest of other sufferers I think you are correct,” Dr. Gunn finally observed, after a moment’s thought. "Both the lady and her husband are so rejoioed, so grate ful, over her recovery that I know she is only too glad to have others hear of it. The lady is Mrs. Eamcs, wife of the well-known coatumer. She was not only restored, but is in perfect health to-day." I thanked the dootor for his ocarteous re ception, for the valuable information im parted, and I feel assured that his generous and humane nature will prevent him from feeling other than glad at seeing this inter view published for the benefit of suffering humanity.
