“What speoial portion or kind of this
royal authority, arising out of noble edu
cation, mav rightly be possessed by women;
and how far also they are called to a true
queenly power, and in what sense, if they
rigutly understood and exercised this royal
or gracions influence, the order and beauty
induced by such benignant power would
j isctfy us in speaking of the territories ovor
which eaob of them reigned, as ‘Queen’s
Hardens.’ ”
The author of the abo re has many ad
mirers, and among oareful and intellectual
readers; and they, as well as the general
public, cannot fail to regret the breaking
down of bis health and the giving-way of
a great mind, But he has done a good work,
and critics consider him the most eloquent
and original of all writers upon art, and a
strenuor.s preacher of righteousness.
Mrs. J. B. Withers and Miss Withers
have returned home after a delightful visit
of several weeks to Florida.
“There are three things," said an old
'philosopher, “whioh a woman should be
like aud at the same time totally unlike.
In the first place she should be like a snail,
because a suail is always to be found at
home, and unlike a snail because he puts
everything he owns on his back. Again,
she snouid be like au echo, neoause an eoho
speaks only when it is spoken to, and unlike
au eoho, because it will always have the
last word. And thirdly, a woman should
be like a town clock, in that she should
keep regular hours, and be exact in all
things, aud unlike a town olook, she should
not let her tongue be heard throughout the
land.” Her voice is lather small to
be beard throughout the land,
even if she lifted it; her influence is
felt and she is partially responsible for the
omrse the world takes, although she doesn't
realize it, aud sometimes wants to govern
the world. And she is not mindful of the
fact that she is doing it all the time, indi
rectly, as the men govern the world, but
the women govern the men.
Mr. and Mrs. W. F. Alexander after a

Brunswick may have its bioyole club, but
with so many traps as are owned iu Savan
nah, and so much good horse flesh, and so
many ladies who handle the reins gracefully
and expertly, there is scarcely a ohanoe for
the smaller wheels. Some of the carts are
comfortable, judging from the appearanoe,
and many are stylish and well kept. One
that is owned by a married lady and whioh
is frequently sson and in which many have
driven is of very dark green, with tiny lines
of red, green cushions and a green lap robe,
with figures of dark red. This is drawn by
a mahogany bay, whioh wears a silver
mounted harness and a bobtail. Altogether
“Frou-frou” is a stylish-looking little creat
ure, and shows her blue blood by her grace
ful and rapid movements, as well as by her
personal appearance. Another oartis black
and dark cushions aud robe make a very
pretty trap.
Miss Hattie and Miss Nina Hull scent a

lyn has been doing some journalistic work
recently that makes the south appreciate
the fact that she is a Georgia woman. She
at ohe time taught in the Luoy Cobb Insti

Mrs. Shellman.

charming persons who can adapt themselves
to any circumstance or emergency with
graceful success, and he has well-wishers in

Mr. Herbert Rountree of Augusta spent
*' , erai days in Savannah last week.
The euterprlsing and independent young
ladies of Brunswick have formed a bicycle
olub and a great deal of beneficial exercise
is taken in this. There are a great many
who do not approve of the wheels, hut fort
unately they do not have to ride, and cer-
I tainly several miles in t ’.e open air is more
j invigorating and the result more becoming
, than several hours of dancing In a ball room.
Mr. Willie Martiu of Augusta spent a
few days in Savannah last week.
Savannah is undeniably worthy of its
reputation for hospitality and oordial and
liberal-minded fellowship, aud this Is re
marked on by those who have been enter
tained abroad, as well as in many cities in
Amertoa.
At the memorial bazar in Richmond the
Florida department has made arrangements
to have a representation of the old gateway
of St. Augustine. This will be made of
ooquina, which has been sent from St
Augustine for that purpose. This will be a
very taking feature and very interesting,
as the gates are historio as well as pictur
esque and deoidadly quaint A miniature
Spanish fort would also boa unique thing,
but the fort oould scarcely be done justice
to and is inimitable.
In large cities the business women are be
coming an important factor, and forms
quite a percentage of the population. They
are having houses built for their co-opera
tive living; forming clubs for their mutual
beneflt, and these dubs are comfortable and
even soinetimts handsome and luxurious.
But of course these are frequented by pro
fessional or talented women, who make
enough to live better than the class of
women who have to work and are willing
and anxious to work, but don’t know how.
Sometimes they know how to work, but
don’t know how to save. This may be done
in clothing by observing the following: “A
woman who is in business should, la select
ing the goods for a business suit, &70id all
figured or striped materials. Let the staff
baas plain as possible, so that the dress may
be in no Way conspicuous. That is the great
thing to be avoided. Fanolfully dressed
women are not popular with their employ
ers. They waste a great deal of time in at
tending to their finery, aud moreover it is an
expensive method for themselves.” If a
woman is going into business, vanity must be
left out of the question, and oommon sense
and convenience considered. And here is
another important little tip to remember:
Don’t neglect to put pockets in the dress,
aud put them where they can be easily got
at. In the shirt, over the hips. iB the most
convenient place to nut them. A good wav
to finish them is with a pointed lapel which
buttons over the pocket. We southerners
are always ready to follow toe fads and
fashions of tbs metropolis, and there is
much good to be gained by so doing in
other things than fashions. Borne of the
customs are equally good. That of independ
ent women,for instance, if they don’t pleaee
any one else, they do their brothers, who
are relieved of their support, for it is not
fair for a strong, healthy woman to let her
brother support her. If she does not want
somebody else’s bset her to take the respon
sibility then she ought to be willing to do it
herself.
Miss Maggie Hull, Mr. Gladding Hull
and Mr. Gordon Harrison spent last Sun
day in Meldrim at the home of Mr. and

Miss Ada Hull, who has been visiting

Mrs. George Wilson Kidder oY Wilming
ton, N. C„ chairman of the colonial com
mittee of the exposition in Chicago, has
written Mrs. Charles H. Oimstead, who is
one of the colonial committee, that the
United States government has kindly
granted the colonial committee the privi
lege of placing their exhibits in
the government building. The space
assigned the colonial exhibits is in
the rotunda of the government
building, in close proximity to the depart
ment of state and justice, where will lie dis
played the declaration of Independence, the
constitution of the United States, and many
other historic documents. A special patrol
will guard these treasures night and day,
and the oolonial relios wifi share the same
speoial care. In the rotunda the oolonial
oommittee are to have six alooves, each
one is 18 feet wide, 8 feet deep, with 15 feet
ofwalisnaoe. Over each alcove will be
displayed the shield and ooat of arms of the
state, whose relios it contains. The alooves
are fitted with glass doors with locks, and
surrounded by iron railiDgs, the keys of
these alooves are to be kept by the ladles of
the committee. On account of the limited
space, the oommittee desires only the choic
est relics of silver, obiua. glass,
miniatures, fans, jewels, lace, em
broideries and g historio documents.
Eaob article exhibited muse have the date
and name of its original owner, with a brief
sketch if desired; also the came of its
present owner. Any ooe having relios of
their ancestors and wishing them exhibited
can send them to Mrs. Oimstead, 61 Gwin
nett street, who will take pleasure In for
warding them to C’hioag ■ without expense
to the exhibitors, and will see that they are
safely relumed at theoloieof the exhibition
in Ootober. In view of the short time before
the opening of the fair it is desirable to send
suoh exhibits as soon as possible.

piece of iron, which formed a portion of the
boiler of the engine which drew Jefferson j
Davis away from Richmond on the ocoa- i
sion of his memorable flight from that oity." i
A record j|will be kept of the associations
of its various iugredients; and when this;
bell rings it will bo the united voioe of j
many states, blended into one. And In Its
meiody will be the golden tones of heir
looms, (he sharp staccato of the indomit
able steel an l the heavy, ponderous clang
of the solid iron, all In harmony and speak- :
ing for the nation; proclaiming its own
liberty and ringing out a salute and wel
come to the other nations from across the
water.
Rev. R. 8. Barrett of Atlanta Is a man of
magnetlo influence, which he has proved In

What threatened to be a serious fire at
the home of Dr. Bleakney. last week was
put out by one of Savannah’s old volunteer
firemen, George C. Derby. A dofeotivo Hue
was the oause of the fire. Flames were dis
covered by inmates of the house, who imme
mediately gave an alarm. The fire was be
tween the ceiling and the roof. Mr. Derby
out a bole in the plastering and went to
work, subduing the fire in a few moments.
Had it not been for the ooolnoss of Mr.
Derby there is no doubt but that the fire
would have reached the roof, when there
would have been no saving the house.
As the dinner train was approaching tue
8-mile post day before yesterday a miihap
took place which came near wrecking the
whole train. The parallel rod on the fire
man’s side of engine Mo. 1534 broke near
the orauk pin of the rear driving wheel and
commenced to tear up everything within
reach. One end of the rod tore through the
floor of the cab and completely demolished
the fireman's box,smashing out the window
glass, besides doing other damage to the
iron work under the cab. The pieoo of the
rod aitaohed to the front driving wheel
crank fouled the crosshead guide, mashing
and twisting it entirely out of shape. En
gineer Tom Arden put on brakes as soon as
possible, but before the train slowed up one
of the pieces of the broken rod attached to
the rear driving wheel struck a erosstie,
lifting the engine off of the rails, causing it
to lean over to the engineer’s side. The
strain was so great that It broke the par
allel rod on the engineer’s side, tearing the
entire orank out and splitting the ponder
ous driving wheel clear to the tire. With
both rods broken and the dangling pieces
of steel llying about, it is strange that no
one was killed. A panio would have en
sued on the train had it not been for the
coolness of Capt. George Wheeler, who as
sured the passengers that they were per
fectly safe. Belug only a mile from Pooler,
Capt. Wheeler seoured a team aud started
for the telegraph office. Service train No. 1,
engine No. wl, engaged in road work at
Pooler, was sent to the relief of tho dinner
train and it was brought safely to Pooler,
where Engineer John J. Gordon was or
dered to proceed with the train to Guyton,
Engineer Arden remaining at Pooler with
No. 1534. Engineer Gordon maintained his
reputation as a fast runner on this trip, as
he made the return run from Guyton to
Havaunah in 53 nnnetes, and with an engine
that has no air-brake attachments. He de
serves credit for the manner in which he
handled a passenger train with an old engine
like No. 361, whioh is only used for work
trains. It has only been about two weeks
since No. 1534 broke a parallel rod at Mar
low while Engineer Moore was running the
dinner train schedule.

BISSKLL'S DEFINITION
Of What Does Not Constitute Of
fensive Partisanship.
Washington Special to the Fitteburg Commer
cial-OaMette.
Postmaster General Blssell was oallsd
upon to-day by the Kentunky delegation in
congress and asked to define what would
constitute "offensive partisanship” when
used in connection with removals from of
floe.
" Why,” he replied, with a laugh, "1 can
not undertake to make a specific rule cover
ing that question. Give mean lostenoe of
what you would consider an offensive par
tisanship. ’’
“Well,” spoke up one of the delegation,
"there is in my district a postmaster who
campaigned for Harrison and made speeches
all over the district. He spoke from the
same platform with me in jolut debate.
Now, is not that a good oase of offensive
patisanship?”
"Was he fair in debate?”queried the Pest
master General In return.
“Yes, sir.”
"Then It was not offensive partisanship,”
replied Mr. Biseeli, “providing the post
master did not negleot the duties of his
office. This is a country of free thought
and free speech, and I would not remove
any man simply because be discussed the
poiitioal questions of the day in a free and
fair manner.”
Continuing, Mr. Bissell gave the delega
tion some points which he would regard as
offensive partisanship in postmasters. First,
one who would turn his oflloe into political
headquarters; second, one who would ma
nipulate the malls in the Interest of his
party; third, one who would oolleot and
solicit funds for the use of his parly, and,
fourth, one who would use the position to
coerce patrons of the oflloe Into voting as
he wished.
Mr. Bissell stated that no doubt there
were other points. But he would take up
eaoh case brought to him and decide it upon
its merits. And he advised the delegation
not to support charges of this obaraoter un
less their proof was absolute.
Safest Place In the World to Sleep.
From the St. Louie Globe-Democrat.
“Talk about people going to sleep fn
church,” said Albert W. Deane of Elgin,
111,; "why shouldn’t they? I dont know
any safer place on earth to sleep In than a
churoh, aud it seams all the more seoure to
me when I see the daagous places ohosen
by some people to do thslr dozing in. At In
dianapolis the other day I saw a tinsmith
asleep on the roof of a house at the very
eaves, and when two policemen stole up to
and carefully awakened him be got mad be
cause they had disturbed hit rest. lie felt
seoure up there because he was used to It.
I have seen a man sitting asleep on a paint
er’s scaffold, swinging nsar the tup of one
of Chloago’t sky-pierolng houses, and when
I spoke to him about it later he said It was
nothing unusual; that be often took a post
prandial nap In that way. There must be
some sixth or seventh sente In man that
protects him during sleep; that enablev
him to wake up at a desired hour, etc. I
feel more and more convinced of thie when
I see, as I do every day, teamsters sitting
asleep on their wagons, noddiug and snor
ing, but seldom, If ever, falling off. Espe
cially on warm days you can see dozens of
teamsters a-doze on their moving wagoni,
and I believe it (s only those who are un
der the lnfluenoe of liquor that fall off.”
A snow bali. thrown at a telegraph boy by a
companion was the cause of a fire at Portland,
Me.. the other afternoon The boy when struck
remarked: 'That's a good shot," and stooped
down to gather enow to return the ehoi. He
stood up almost immediately, exclaiming that
be was on fire, and it was found to be true,
some matches In bis pocket having been
ignited by the blow of the snow ball and com
municated the fire to hie clothing.
