BUILDING OF CHARACTER
DB. BAHRETT'B SBH MON TO YOUNG
MSN ON THK BIBLE AS A GUIDB.
The Seven Principles of Character.
The Three Wave In Which the Bible
Builds Character Hope the Great
Builder—The Second Day’s Work of
tho Episcopal Convocation.
St. Paul's church was well filled last night
to hear Rev. R. S. Barrett, D. D., d.-an of
St. Luke's cathedral, Atlanta, deliver his ser
mon to young men.
Dr. Barrett's subject was the Bible in
character building, and he used for bis text
the parable of the builders, from the seventh
eiiiDter of the gospel of St Matthew.
He took as an illustration throughout his
sermon Rusktu’s book on the seven
principle# of character and the seven
lamps of architecture, sacrifice, truth,
power, beauty- life, memory and ot ediance.
Tceee seven principles of eoui building and
character building were elaborated upon in
a very interesting manner.
There are three ways, Dr. Barrett said,
in whioh the Bible builds character; first,
by correcting evil; second, by a positive
idea; and third, by a definite hope.
Hope was dwelt upon by I)r. Barrett us
the great builder not only of cities, but of
men. Unless yon can inspire people in the
belief of a future of atown.be said, you
eouid not build it. Atlanta was largely
built on hope, Dr. Barrett said.
Dr. Barrett’s sermon was very much
anjoyed by his congregation. His vigor
ous, pithy and direot style of expressing
his ideas was very much admired, at well
as the beauty of his thought and expres
sion. Dr. Barrett preaches extemporane
ously. He never attempted to use notes
at but two sermons in his life, he said last
night. On the first occasion the light went
out and left him in darkness and on the
second occasion a breeze scattered his ser
mon all over the church.
Dr. Barrett is an original thinker and
what he says is usually worth listening to.
He will epend to-day in the city aDd will
leave to-night for Asheville, where he has a
lecture to deliver. He is accompanied by
Mrs. Barrett, who is herself a bright and
original thinker and au interesting con
versationalist.
THE LADIES' AUXILIARY.
About 200 ladies were present at the
meeting of the woman’s auxiliary at St.
John’s church yesterday morning. Holy
communion was celebrated by tbe bishop,
the oiergy assisting.
W. R. Leaken, Keq., delivered an extem
poraneous address upon the layman’s re
sponse to the call of missions. Mr. I,oaken
spoke about twenty minutes. He covered
the mission ground from the layman's stand
point pretty thoroughly.
Bishop Nelson delivered a very interest
ing address, explaining tbe purpose, oh-
Jests and methods of the woman’s auxiliary.
..ike all of Bishop Nelson's discourses upon
church work, his explanation of the wo
man’s auxiliary was plain and practical,
showing a familiarity with the whole sub
ject, evidently gained from experience of
tbe practical workings of tbe organization,
DISCUSSING SUNDAY SCHOOLS.
A conference upon Sunday schools was
held at Christ church in tbs afternoon.
Rev. C. H. Strong delivered a short address
upon the teacher, showing the teaohers'
surroundings and the advantages and dis
advantages of this portion of the oburcb
work.
Bishop Nelson followed Mr. Strong with
Some practical suggestions to the teachers,
showing them how to strengthen their
hold on their classes.
Rev. W. W. Kimball, assistant rector of
St- John's church, delivered an interesting
address upon the apparatus of the Sunday
sohool.
Rev. J. J. Lanier discussed the Bunday
school as a missionary agency, showing
bow tbe Sunday school might prove one of
tbe strongest fuctors of church work.
This morning at 11 o’clock at Christ
church Bishop Nelson will discuss with the
clergy tbe methods of ohuroh and parish
work. The subjects of discussion will lie
“Pastoral Visiting,” by Rev. Robb White,
“Business Methods of the Parish,” by ltev.
W. R. McConnell, and “Use of the Prayer

him to-night at the parish ball of Bt. John's
ohuroh, where he wiU discuss with them the
subject of church music and will give them
the benefit of ideas of his own gained
from past experience.
TO COUNT THE BCHCOI, CHILDREN.
Buot. Bakor Points Out the Impor
tance ot an Accurate Census.
The announcement of the decision of the
■tate board of education in the Muhninu
Nsws yesterday to <rder a census of the
school population of the state id of consid
erable importance to Savannah nod Chat
ham county. Under the law the oeusus
must be taken not less than every ten
years and not ofieuer than every five
years.
Kupt. Baker said yesterday that Chatham
county has suffered for the la3t five years
in the division of the state school fund,
because of the inacouraoy of the last school
census. By the school census taken five
years ago there appeared to be 8,155 chil
dren of school age, that is between the ages
of 6 and 18 years, in the city, and 5,081 in
the county outside of the city, making a
total of 13,186 children of school age for the
■whole county.
Bupt Baker said he is satisfied that the
aotual number of children of school age
now in the oounty exoeeds there figures by
at least 3,000. As the state school fund is
prorated to the different counties of the
•tate according to the number of children
of school age in eaoh oounty, it is a matter
of considerable importance that the full
number of children should be known.
Step# will probably he taken at the next
meeting of the board of education to pro*
▼lde for the taking of the school oeusus of
Chatham county. The census of the city
five years ago was taken by the police aud
their work was very satisfactorily done.
The oounty census was taken hy agents and
their work was not so satisfactory. The
same system will probably be pursued this
year, but care will be taken to secure more
active agents in the country outside the
city. •
THE R. AND D.’S LATEST MOVE.
President Oakman's letter to the
Directors of the Central.
President Oakman's letter to President
Comer threatening tlio defeat of the Cen
tal's reorganization is not causing any
serious alarm among the friends ot the re
organization scheme.
The letter was discuesed by the directors
of the Central at their last, meeting. It
charges that the directors were illegally
elected, and that the holders of the majority
•tock were uot consulted in regard to the
reorganization, and threatens trouble all
W<ouud.
The local directors of the Central do not
attao., any importance to Mr. Uakman's
letter. After it was discussed at
the meeting this week it was laid
•side without any action. Tne
letter is regarded as another attempt on the
tart of the Hicnmond and Danville to
camper the Central if possible in its plans.
Mr. Comer said, as be was leaving for -New
York night before Inst, after having placed
the letter before the directors, that th ■
plan of reorganization has been perfected
and that it will be announced in a few
days at the outeloe. This does uot look as
thougn the Central is worrying over Mr.
Oakman's threats.
BTREET OARS COLLIDE.
A Liberty Street Trolley Car Bangs
Into a Mule Car Full of Cyatermen.
• Thar* was a dangerous oollialon at Lib
erty and Whitaker streets yesterday morn
ing about 9 o’olook, and ona that might
have resulted very seriously for a cumber
! of persons.
As is generally known, the Liberty street
and the Whitaker street lines of the City
aid Suburban railway cross each other at
right angles at tbe junction of the two
streets. Tbe oars on tbe two lines usually
reach the junction point about tbs same
time, and passers-by on tbe streets have
often wondered at tbe dote shaves fre
quently made by one car or the other in
crossing in front of each other.
Tbe accident came at last. Yesterday
morning a horse car was going north on
Whitaker street, carrying a 1. ad of oyster
men from Montgomery, who were coming
into tbe city to peddle out their oysters.
An el-otric oar was going west on Liberty
street. The driver of the horse car either
did not sec the electric car or paid no at
tention to it. and the motorman of the
electric car appeared to bystanders to be in
a similar frame of mind. The horse oar
had gotten nearly aeroaa when the eleotric
oar struck it in the back end, punching a
hole in it, throwing the front end of tbe
car, mules aad all sidewise across the track.
The passengers were badly snakeu up
and fresh oysters were scattered in every
direction. Two or three of tne cyatermen
were more or less bruised. It is fortunate
that there was uo more serious damage
done. The front of the eleotric oar was
somewhat banged up. Both oars were able
to oontinue their jouroey, however.
ÜBBCBR’B NEXT PBEBIDENT
Gov. Northen Being Mentioned for
the Position.
Mr. F. D. Bloodworth, who it a member
of the board ot truitaes of Mercer Univer
sity, the college of the Georgia Baptists at
Macon, was asked yesterday who would be
elected to fill the presidency made vacant by
the resignation of Dr. G. A. Nuunally to
accept a pastorate at Memphis. Mr. Blood
worth replied that this question bad hot yet
been discussed by the trustees and he had no
idea who would be selected for the
presidency. The name of Kev. W. L.
Kilpatrick, D. D., chairman of tbe board of
trustees, had been mentioned he said, but
Dr. Kilpatrick is not in good health and it
is not likely that be would be willing to ac
cept.
Mr. Blcodworth’s personal preference
without having consulted any one upon the
subject is Gov. Ncrtben.
“Gov, Northen.” said Mr. Bloodworth,
“Is just the man reeded for president of
Mercer University. He has been for years
one of the leading Baptists of the state, is a
man of raoognized ability, of
fine executive powers, of wide
Influence and generally known. He
would bring a great deal of strength
to the institution. He is an educator of
long experience and would be perfectly at
home in the president’* chair. Of course it
would be rather awkward tor him to resign
tho governorship at present, if it wero only
a question of salary we could give him more
than he now receives from the state.
“We may not secure Gov. Northen,” said
Mr. Bloodworth lu conclusion, “but be is
just tbe man needed for tbe position.”
A TOMATO CAN BALLOT-BOX.
One of the Grounds of the Fourth
District Flection Contest.
The county commiisionera did not bold
their regular meeting yesterday afternoon
on account of inability to seoure a quorum.
Chairman W alker was ill and Col. Estill
aud Mr. Smart were out of town. Dr. Read
ar.d Mr. Melnbard were on hand.
The contestants of tbe constables election
In tbs Fourth district were on baud, too,
with their attorney, P. J. O’Connor, Esq.,
and were anxious to press tbeir esse. Tbe
point upon which the content, will be made
is that no niagistrats presided at ’he elec
tion as required by law. They claim, be
sides, that the election was irregular for
several other reasons.
One was that ths tiskets were not num
bered any further tfaau sixty, tbs managers
concluding that it was not worth while to
number tbe tickets as required by law. By
this means it is claimed that over 160 more
tickets found tbeir way into tbe box than
there were voters enrolled. Another olalm
tbe contestants make Is that tbe door of the
room in which tha election was held was
barred and that tbe voters could not see
wbat the managers were doing on the other
■ids.
Still another point is that the freeholder
representing tho contestants was compelled
to leave the room by tho mnnagers wbuu
they commenced to count the ballots. One
contestant said that an old tomato can was
used for a ballot-box aud that the managers
could put iu aud take out as many ballots
as they pleased.

Of tbe Cincinnati Methodist Episcopal con
ference makes a good point when be says:
“We bave for years used Hood's Harsapa

equal to all that is claimed for it. Home
people are greatly prejudiced against patent
medicines, but how the patent can hurt a
medicine and not a machine is a mystery of

THB WEATHER MODERATING.
Mercury Drops to 24°, But Will Go
Up To-day.
A pari of yesterday was the coldest of the
season. As predicted by tbe weather bureau,
the temperature fell to 24’’' yesterday morn
ing. Tbe sharp winds made tha cold very
severely felt. The temperature moderated
considerably during tbe day, the thermom
eter rising to 44" before midnight.
Through au oversight all the teachers at
the Chatham sohool had not baen supplied
with coal and it was necessary to dismiss
the children of six classes on account of the
cold. This was tbe cause of great re joioing
among the children of tacse classes with an
equal amount ot dissatisfaction upon the
part of tbeir parents.
There was some complaint at the Henry
Street school on account of the steam heat
ers not beating the rooms sufficiently, but
this is supposed to bsve been caused by the
jauitor not yet having fully comprehended
the new system of heating.
Tbe prediction is that the weather will
open fair and muoh warmer this morning
followed by rain during the day.

THE MORNING NEWS: THURSDAY, JANUARY 12, 1893.
ELEVEN MEN CHOSEN.
THI M’DONOCOa TICKET ONLY
LACKS ONE MAN.
Seven of tbe Present Board to Run.
Alderman Myers One of the Num
ber—A Ratification Mass Meeting to
Be Held To-morrow Night—Ten of
the Harmon Ticket Decided Upon.
Alderman Harmon's Friends Will
Also Ratify To-morrow Night.
Savannah will have two political mass
meetings to-morrow night, at which ths
full McDonough and Harmon aldermanlo
liokats will be presented for ratification,
and thsn the tattle royal will aommenoe.
Mayor MoDonough’a friends will meet
either at Catbolio Library hall or Maaor.io
temple and Alderman Harmon’s friands
will hold forth at Turner ball.
Eleven of Mayor McDonough’s ticket have
been selected and the twelfth man will be
settled upon to-day. The committee of
twenty-five, which desired to remain secret
ns far as names were concerned,
put in a busy day’s work yesterday
with meetings to consider the reports of
of the subcommittee sent out to wait upon
gentlemen desired for candidates. These
meetings were held at tbe office ot Capt. D.
G. Purse, chairman of tbe committee of
twenty-five, and when adjournment was
bad last night there was only one vacanoy
on tbe ticket to be filled.
THE COMPLEXION OF THE COMMITTEE. •
The full list of the committee of twenty
five could not be secured, but here are some
of the members according to the knowlog
oues: Capt. D. G. Purse, chairman; Will
iam Kehoe, M. A. O’Byrne, Charles F.
Preudergast, John R. Young, D. R.
Thomas, Raymond Judge, J. J. Sullivan,
W. P. Hailey, Martin Cooley, B. A. Den
mark, P. W. Meld run, W. J. Lindsay, L.
Putzel, Simon Gazan, G. B. Pritchard,
Henry Ganahl and E. W. O’Counor.
The committee selected Capt. Purse and
Messrs. Llnneay and O’Byrne to hunt up
aldermanlc timber. The first thing these
gentlemen did was to wait npou the mem
bers of tbs present board and find out how
many of them were willing to make the
race on the administration ticket. They
carried along a document pledging support
to Mayor McDonough, which was to be
signed by those selected, but after masting
with a few declinations on this score the
committeemen decided not to press this
point. Alderman Charlton was tbe
only member of the present
council appronohei who positively
declined to stand for re-eleolion. It took
several hours’ hard work, however, to
socure Alderman Cauti’s acquiescence, but
finally about 7 o’clock last night he was
prevailed upon to agree.
THK SELECTED ELEVEN.
Hero are ths names uf tha eleven gentle
men who will be reported to the McDonough
meeting to-morrow night for ratification:
Aldermen Herman Myers, M. W. Dixon,
W. 1. O’Brien, George S. Haines, George J.
Mills, K. B. Harris and W. G. Canu, and
Capt. Thomas Screven, Jr., Mr. David
Wells, Mr. William Bohan aud Mr, T. A.
Foiliard.
Alderman Reid was not waited upon, and
some people thought Alderman Myers
would not be asked to go on the MoDonough
tioket, but the commitfee knowing that
he intended to make the race anyhow, and
realising his great personal popularity, de
cided it would be good politics to have Him
on ths administration tioket. The same
circumstances decided the committee to
take Capt. Hcreveu, who is the leading man
on the Harmon ticket.
Mr. Wells is an ex-alderman of extensive
popularity, Capt. Screven is a lending mili
tary spirit, popular with all classes; Mr.
Bohan is chief sachem of Tammany, aud
Mr. Foiliard is a real estate agent, who for
several years was justice of the peace of the
First district.
Tbe committee did not intend that any
of its selections should be made public until
zbe mass meeting, but it reckoned without
its host when it thought political move
ments of this sort could bs lispt secret any
great length of time.
WHO WILL BE THB TWELFTH.
Heveral gentlemen are being considered
for tbe twelfth place on the ticket, but it
is a matter of guesswork as to who will
secure tbe bouor. Mr. Edward
Karow has been prominently mentioned
and the committee might decide
, to take him, or it might take Mr, H. M.
Comer, Jr., who will be on the Harmon
ticket, or seek a man among the legal fra
ternity.
The committee of tweuty-flve. after com
pleting its work on the slate to-day, will set
about making the ratification meeting a big
success, and thereby give Mayor McDonough
a hearty send-off with bis full ticket.
It is said au effort was made to get Maj.
Bcbwarz to run on the McDonough ticket,
but he politely declined the invitation of the
committee.
Alderman Harmon’* ticket is nearly made
up. A meeting of his friends was held at
Turner hall last night and the following
gentlemen were Saul to have been selected
for alderman; Aldermen Myers and
Haines, Capt. Thomas Boreven Jr., W. H.
Ray, Dr. William Duncan, H. M. Comer.
Jr., R. Cuyler Gordon, John Lyons, John
F. Lubs and Thomas Bowden.
AFRAID IT WILL HURT HARMON.
Judge Falligant’s decision in the man
damus proceedings night before last had a de
pressing effect upon some of Alderman Har
mon's friends, because they claim that
under it tbe registration managers can re
fuse to register any one they please, and uo
recourse to the law can remedy the evil iu
time to get tbe voter qualified for the elec
tion.
Alderman Harmon, howaver, does not
think anything that might be done in the
registration can injure bis chances because
of the solid organization he has behind him.
A large meeting of the voters ot the
Fourth district was held last night to select
three representatives for their support for
aldermeu. After a general discussion of
all tbs candidates the meeting unanimously
indorsed Alderman Dixon, Capt. Thomas
Bcreven aud Mr. William Bohan. A com
mittee was appointed to notify Mayor Mc-
Donough aud Allsrmau Harmon that the
Fourth district will support the three gen
tlemen named.
THE TYBEE HOTEL.
It Will Be Operated Ey a New Com
pany Next Season.
Mr. Emile Newman, who bidin theTybee
hotel at the sele Tuesday for <28,900, said
yeaterday that the plana of those Intereited
with him had not yet been perfected. The
idea, Mr. Newman said, of course, is to re
organize the company and put the property
in suoh shape as to permit of the continued
operation of the hotel.
“You can rest assured that the hotel will
be open next season,” said Mr. Newinau.
“There is no iutention to freeze out any
of the old stockholders. We will be glad to
bave any of them come lu who desire to do
*o. even to the very smallest.”
The debt of tbe hotel is ouly *6,000,
though bonds ware issued for *20,000. All
exoept *6,000 of these bonds, how
ever, were placed with the bank*
to seoure money advanced end
these will be discharged out of the (23 000
purchase money. This will make tbe ac
tual cost of the property to tbe new com
pany about *29,000. H will be neoessary,
howaver, to expend about *6,000 in im
provements to put tbe hotel in condition
for operating next season. This will make
tbe total cost of the property to the new
company about *35,000.

MANSFIELD’S "BEAU BRUMMELL.”
Bavannabans Witness the Great
“Beau" at His Beat.
Tbe largest, ard without reflection upon
those which have witntsaed other perform
aoces, one of the most intelligent and
r-.fined audiences that has baen in tbe theater
for years witnessed Richard Mansfield's
presentation of “ Beau Brummell ” last
night.
“Beau Brummell'’ is a oomedy of the most
refined humor. It was written by Clyde
Fitch and Mr. Mansfield, and has all tbe
sparkle and brilliancy ot the old comedie.-.
Mr. Mansfield is artistio to the very tips of
his fingers. His “Beau” is a delightful
place of acting. His methods are quiet and
effective. Every gesture and movement of
the elegant “Beau” are studied carefully.
Hi# face constantly wears the indescribably
bored look in keeping with tbe beau's tastes
and habits.
The transition from gay to grave—tbe
contrast between the sweet scented, ex
quisite, bantering with royalty, after
hours spent on bis immaculate toilet, and
the broken down “ Beau.” overoome by
rernaiure senility, and acting the ghastly
farce at a dinner party in the gar
ret at Calais, with imagination alone to
supply the guests, is so great that any ordl
dinary actor would completely change the
personality of the man.
The exquisite fop, tasking in the
favor of the Prince of Wales and
setting the fashion by his eccentricities,
and the proud recluse, hiding away from
the bailiffs and slowly starving to death,
afford startling contrasts, depicted by Mr.
Mansfield with graphic skill. Tbe atmos
phere of the Georgian period surrounds nil
tbe characters of the play. The “Beau”
himself, with all his courtliness, fastidious
and superb insolence, is made, by Mr.
Mansfield, a living reality.
The audience recoived Air. Mansfield with
much enthusiasm.
The attraction which will follow Mans
field this afternoon and to-night, “Jaue,”is
hardly loss popular than “Beau Brummell.”
1 he announcement that a matinee would he
given was gratifying to many theater-goers
who were unable to obtain seats for the
night performance owing to the great rush.
Ihe sale for the matinee will begin this
morning at 9 o’clock. The story of “Jane, ’
and upon which is bused the laughable
situations which have made it a great suc
cess, tells of the adventures of a young
bachelor of prodigal ways, who secures
money from the trustee of an estate by
representing himself to be married. When
the trustee in question suddenly appears
upon the scene the youug man, forced to
provide a wife for the situation, makes a
business arrangement with bis housemaid,
“June,’’ and from this plot of the morning
a housemaid becomes the wife of her master
at ncoD, and has to account for two chil
dren, their offspring. in the evening. The
ooinedy is named "Joue,” after one of its
droll characters, the servant girl.
_ The sale of seats for the “Clemenoeau
Case,'’ Saturday mafineo and night, will
begin this morning. The Richmond Dis
patch says of the new “Cleinenceau Case”
that one of the largost aud most fashion
able audienoee of the season saw Laura Al
berta and her sterling company there. The
version, the Dispatch says, is a vast Im
provement over the one seen there last
season, tha objectionable features having
been eliminated, the dramatic construction
bettered; in fact, the performance was
vastly superior in every way. Miss Alberta

J. MoLaughlin & Son’s sale of the

day before yesterday, amounting to *22,060

sales that has been reported from any cot

RAIL AND CROBfITIE.
Woman has suocaededin journalism, law,
medicine, theology and politics, so it is not
surprising to learn that she has done well in
railroading. .Minnie C. Rash has attracted
attention by her remarkable success as an
orgauizer of excursions. She is the Van
dalia line's agent at Lakeville, Ind. For
three years she has had charge of tbe pas
senger, freight and telegraph office. The
receipts in October amounted to more than
*IO,OOO, and thst is only slightly in excess
of the average. Miss Rash was born in
Lakeville twenty-one years ago. After ac
quiring a oommon school education she
learned telegraphy, and her proficiency led
to her selection as agent. She ia a worker
in the Woman's Christian Temper
ance Union and Methodist ohuroh
societies. Her latest success was the con
ception and execution of “Harvest Home”
excursions, when she surprised the Van
dalia magnates by sending several hundred
people into neighboring states on special
trains, and thus netted profit for the rail,
road.

Market Hucksters' Complaints.
There have been oeraplaints for tome
time from the hucksters lu the northeastern
oorner of the market of their boxes being
broken open in spite of the policemen on
duty. On this account for several mgbts
an extra polioeman bos been kept on duty
at tho market to catch the supposed
thieves. Monday night as Officer .Sheehan
was about to relieve Officer Jones, he took
a notion to examine the boxes in the north
west corner. The result was that he found
the box of the huckster who had made the
most complaints of robberies to have no
lock upou it. OlHoer .Sheehan’s opinion was
the old woman who keeps the stall had lost
tne lock to her box, nnd, not caring to go to
the expense of buying anew lock, had
made the couiDialuts so that tbe police
would keep a close watch over her corner.
The matter was reported to the clerk of the
market vesterday.

ABSOLUTELY PURE
HIS CHECKS DIDN’T GO.
“GEN. MaXLEY" TRIED TO VIC
TIMIZE PRIESTS AND BISTERS.
The Swindler's Attempt to Rob the
Sisters of St. Vincent’s Academy.
Afterward Be Attempts His Game
Unsuccessfully on ths Pastor of
Sacred Heart Church and is Finally
Frightened Out of the City by
Father Quinlan of St. Patrick’s.
A professional and systematic swindler
is making tbe rounds of tbe south working
educational institutions and clergymen
with bogus checks. He deserves tbs garb
of a convict and no donbt will secure it if
hs remains tong in this section of ths coun
try.
He tried his hand in Savannah s few
days ago, but failed to victimise anybody
and is supposed to have gone to some of
the neighboring cities to try his swindling
racket.
About a weak ago the sisters of St. Vin
cent’s Academy received a letter from
Charleston signed "Gen. W. E, Msxley.”
Tbe writer desired to put his daughter
under tbe sisters' care in the academy, and
announcing that he would be in Savannah
in a few days to make arrangements.
Monday morning “Gen. Muxiey” rang the
doorbell of Bt. V lucent’s Academy and sent
in his card. The sisters were prepared to
meet him, and he needed no further intro
duction.
AN INTERESTING TALKER.
The man was dressed in shabby genteel
style, hut his plausible address overbalanced
his personal appearance. He talked to the
sisters interestingly about hit daughter,
whom, he said, had been a student at Mount
<le Kales Academy near Baltimore, but was
not satisfied there and preferred to come to
Bavaunab. She was in the city and would
be at tbe academy the next day, not being
able to accompany him at the rime on ac
count of having some dental operations
performed.
Then Gen. Maxley turned his conversa
tion to toplos relating to things familiar to
Bavannahians. He claimed to have been
an enthusiastic confederate and said he was
with Gen. Bartow when be was killed.
After entertaining the sisters on war his
tory “tbe general’' turned to politics. He
■aid he was a great admirer of Mr. Cleve
land and bad held a government position
under him when he was President and ex
pected to beaome an auditor in the treasury
department wbeu Mr. Cleveland became
President again.
EXPENSE NOT A CONSIDERATION.
The sisters did not care to talk politics or
war reminiscences, and drew Gen. Maxley
back to the subject of tbe education of bis
daughter. He bad asked nothlDg about
the cost of tuition and board, and the sis
ters volunteered him the information that
it would be sl2l.
“O, I don’t mind that,” said Gen. Maxley,
adding that he would pay in advance
at onoe. He pulled out a pocket
book from which he extracted a
check on the Firet National Bank of New
York for *2OO in favor of “Hon. W. E.
Maxley,” signed “Clelllug & Cos., Charles
ton, B. C.” He asked the sisters to give him
tbe difference in change, end at tbe same
time added that his references were Col.
W. W. Gordon and Gen. MoLaws.
The sisters did not like to insult “Gen.
Maxley,” but they did not care to take auy
chance on the check and told him it was in
convenient for them to cash it. He wus
very anxious, however, to get tbe differ
ence, but fiually decided to leave the aheck
with the sisters and call next
day with his daughter. He di;l not
call though, and the sisters have not seen
either him or bis daughter since. They
took the check to the Southern Bank and it
was discovered at once that the paper was
worthless, as no snob firm as that signed to
It existed in Charleston.
A GENEROUS LEGACY.
The sisters were happv at having eioeped
the swindler’s eoheino, and fearing he might
try his game on somo other convents iu the
state sent telegrams of warning to them.
After leaving tbe convent “Gen. Maxley”
went to the Baored Heart church and pre
sented Father Mayer with a check for *I,OOO
cn the Chatham Bank, He gave his name
to tbe priest as Kberldan, aud said he was
acting as agent for a man who lived in
Savannah thirteen years ago, but who died
recently in another city and
left a bequest to tbe Bacred
Heart church. He added, how
ever. that a commission was due him
and asked Fattier Mayer to advance it to
him. The priest, however, feared some
thing was wrong, and told the swindler
that when he cashed the check he would pay
the commission. Foiled in this attempt
"Uen. Maxley” tried his game on Father
Quinlan at St. Patrick's, but was quickly
run away from that point, the priest charg
ing him at once with being a crook whom he
had read about in the newspapers of an
other city.
“Gen. Msxley” is a man about 50 years of
age, 5 feet 9 inches tall, of spare build,
with thin hair and beard. He is an edu
cated man, but a first-class thief. It is sup
posed he left tha city after bis snoeuuter
with Father Quinlan.

From Lloyd’s Register of British and
Foreign Bbipping Returns, which show the
number, tonnage and nationality of vessels
lost, condemned, abandoned or foundered
during the three mouths, from July 1 to
ftept. 30, it appears that 1 steamer nos
abandoned at sea, 10 were condemned and
ordered to be broken up, 3 were burnt, 3
were lost through collision, 2 foundered,
while 18 were wrecked, thus giving a total
of 37 vessels, of 23,607 register tonnage, as
lost from various causes. Of the 37 vessels
20 were British owntd. As regards sailing
vessete 14 were abandoned at tea, 19 were
condemned, 2 ordered to be broken up, 7
were burnt. 4 were lost through an un
known reuse and 10 are missing, thus giv
ing a total of 129 vess-le. of au aggregate
tonnage of 62,647. Great Britain being, of
course, by far the largest ocean-carrying
nation, heads the list of losses.

HALF A DOLLAR FOB A POTATO.
Tobacco and Gold on a Par on the Up
per Yukon River, Alaska.
From the San Francisco Call.
R- D. Miles, a visitor In this city, gives a
graphic acoount of tbe prices current for
ordinary commodities on the upper Yukon
river, Alaska.
He baa just returned from that oountry,
where, he states, there were over 100 men
at work during the last summer washing
gold from the river bare and rifts. Tte
majority of them will winter in that cour
*r7-
"Well, I’ll tell you, I am glad to get back
to civilization again,” he said. “Gold is
plentiful; in fact, it is an ordinary trick for
a man to wash out from *2O to *6O a day,
but a man needs ail that to live any way
comfortable in thatcountry. and be has but
little to show after a season of hard work.
“When I left that country a trader with
a small stock of goods was making his way
up tbe river for some of tbe coast trad
ing points in a canoe. In fact he had sev
eral of them loaded with provisions. He
was assisted in his jouroey by half a dozen
Indians.
“Well, when he left, after selling out his
cargoes, be had about all the gold dust tbe
miners had washed out in four or five
months of steady work.
"We ran short of provisions and had sub
sisted on near meat and other gatue so long
that we willingly parted with nearly all we
had to get some civilized eatables.
"Well, this trader—his name was Em
mons-sold the several sacks of epuds he
had with him at tbe rate of from SO to 50
cents per potato.
“His flour sold for *2O a sack, and we
were juat glad enough to pay *5 a pound
for the very poorest quality of tea he had
with him.
"He had several sides of booon in his
stock, which he disposed of at about *1 a
slice. A few sacks of tbe despised bean
brought *1 a pound.
"We had Lean out of tobacco for nearly
two months and bad drawn but little solace
out of pipefuls of dried leaves and mo3s.
A hen tb/s fellow apeeared ou the scene we
took him to our hearts as a benefactor and
gave him ounces of gold for plugs of to
bacco. An ounce of gold brings *l6 in
Alaska and *l9 at the mint here.
“We bought a hundredweight of onions,
for which we were assessed six ounces of
gold.
“ i tell you wbat. we poured out the dust
upon that fellow Emmons, aud be bad so
much of it I don’t think I would like to take
the contract to pack It from here to the city
ball.
“You must not think from this appalling
price list that we were storving to death.
We had nleuty of game and fish, but that
kind of grub palls on the appetite.”
Tbe “boys,” however, appear to have
made money on tbe Yukon river bars. Mr.
Miles states that all of them have “stakes,”
and he came down to Viotoria with several
of them who had "cleaned up” from *12.-
000 to *28,000 apiece.

Gsntlembn—Twenty-tnree years ago 1 was
attacked with inflammatory rheumatism. I was
attended by the mosteminetit physicians ia the

and many other watering places, and always
consulting with the local physician for direc
tions; finally oame to Florida ten years ago.
About two years ago I had a severe attack of
rheumatism, was confined to my room for
twelve weeks and during the time I was Induced
to try p. P. P. [Prickly Ash, Poke Root and
Potassium), knowing that each ingredient was
good for impurities of the blood. After using
two small bottles i was relieved At four dif

I have each time taken two small bottles of P
P. P. and been relieved, and X consider it the
best medicine of its kind. Respectfully.
