DIXIE’S SUN-KISSED ACRES.
The Sew York Movement to Populate
Them to Be Permanent.
An Organization Formed to Keep Up
the Quest for Good Immigrants—A
Series of Cheap Excursions to the
South Among the Probabilities.
Col. Dyer, of Augusta, Talks Con
fidently and Entertaingly of the
Movement.
Xew York, June 23.—The Southern De
velopment Association, composed of
southerners and New York capitalists,
which met in convention yesterday,
having formed a permanent organization
and given it a name, concluded its busi
ness in this city early this morning.
The outcome of the deliberations yes
terday was the appointment of a perma
nent committee on organization, who are
to prepare plans for the formation of
local committees, who will endeavor, by
laying the advantages which the south
possesses before northern and eastern
capitalists, to promote the various com
mercial interests of the southern states.
After midnight the committee on or
ganization held a session which did not
conclude until 2 o'clock this morning.
Capt. Hugh R. Garden presided. A num
ber of suggestions were thrown out, and
it was finally decided that each of the
twenty-five members who compose the
committee should submit a plan at the
next meeting of the committee, which
will be held in Capt. Garden's ofiice, No.
83 Nassau street, on July 13.
CHEAP EXCURSIONS.
Col. D. B. Dyer, of Augusta, Ga., the
originator of the movement, said today
that one of the chief things to be done
would be to make arrangements with the
vairous transportation companies con
necting with the south to run monthly
excursions at cheap rates. This would en
able people from New V'ork and other
eastern and northern cities to visit the
south and judge for themselves of its
great natural advantages.
*•1 have." Ooi. Dyer said, "invested
over $1,000,00(1 in southernjproperty. Tne
great natural advantages of the south
only require to be better known to be ap
preciated. We have good land, minerals
and gold in .abundance,, extensive coal
fields and immense timber regions. Be
sides, we have any quantity of water
power.
COMMITTEES IN EACH COUNTY.
‘‘We will appoint local committees in
each county who will act under a state
committee, who will act with the com
mittee on organisation. We will get
bondholders to give a three or a four
years' option at a very reasonable price
on land of all descriptions and a similar
option on water power. We will estab
lish a bureau of information in New
York, which will extensively adver
tise our advantages, and which will
also impress on suitable immigrants the
prospects they may look forward to if
they will make the south their home.
We must have good immigrants to open
up our country. A lot of money has been
wasted by individuals in trying to pro
mote colonization .but now as we have suc
ceeded in establishing a permanent or
ganization and in enlisting the sympathies
and co-operation of the New York busi
ness men and financiers, 1 think there is
a great future in store for the south. ”
ABKAMS REPLIES TO MARKS.
Poverty Leads to a Very Sad Suicide
at Orlando.
Orlando, Fla., June 22.—Maj. St. Clair
Abrams, has replied to the letter of
State Senator M. R. Marks. The reply
settles nothing of the differences between
the two senators. St. Clair Abrams’ re
ply simply reiterates the state
ments make in his Ocala speech,
and says that he has nothing
to take back. This is the only
kernel there is in the nut. The remain
der of his letter of a column and a half is
devoted to personal glorification of him
self, and personal vituperation of Senator
Marks. Maj. Abrams disavows any in
ten tionsof seeking satisfaction..by making
a personal matter of the differences be
tween himself and Maj. Marks. He
claims he is to old too fight.
A sad suicide has occurred here. A
man named Joseph D. Kuggles took two
ounces of laudanum, and after a day of
suffering he died. He came to Orlando
on December last, from Live Oak, where
he had resided for about two
years, and where he married Miss
£. J. Shepherd. He had for
merly lived in Texas. While yet fully
conscious, he reriuested that the knowl
edge of his suicide be kept from his sons.
But he declared that if the physicians
succeeded in saving him this time he
would ultimately accomplish his purpose
to end bis own life.
SHUTTING OUT SHYLOCKS.
Mayor Goodwin Bound Atlanta’s Em
ployes Shall Not Be Squeezed.
Atlanta, Ga., June 32.—Mayor Goodwin
does not like a shylock, whether he does
business under the sign of the three balls
or grinds his usury out of city employes
by means of holding office under the city
himself. Some time ago the council
passed an ordinance prohibiting city
officers from lending money to city em
ployes at a rate of interest higher than
the legal rate. The ordinance was framed
for the purpose of stopping a practice
among some of the city’s officers who have
forces of men working under them of
advancing a few dollars to these men
during the week at a heavy rate of
interest and then deducting their claims
on the pay roll every Saturday. By this
system the oflicers| who engaged in it
made a fat thing for themselves but it
was hard on the poor laborers. The
Eassage of the prohibitory ordinace
ist raised a kick, and at the
meeting of council enough members
were won over to repeal it. Mayor
Goodwin, however, drew his dirk on the
shyloeks, and to-day vetoed the repealing
ordinance, for which action ho is being
generally commended by the people.
Killed by a Locomotive.
Walthourville, Ga., June 22. At 10:42
o’clock this morning a fine cow, owned by
J. S. Fleming, was struck by the fast
mail train No. 1(2, and pitched about
thirty feet in the air. The legs of the
cow broke the headlight of the engine.
Another train was in the turnout at the
time, and a colored man named Johnston,
was standing between the tracks. He
managed, by a fine piece of dodging, to pre
vent the revolving mass of thie cow from
striking him as he slipped between the
cars of the freight train. He emerged
uninjured.

on a visit to relatives in Brunswick, has

An Operetta to Be Repeated.
Brunswick, Ga., June 22.—The large
number of people who witnessed the en
tertainment given by the pupils of Miss
Gale's school, "Lima, the Fairy,” have
persuaded the young ladies to have the
performance repeated, and yielding to
these requests, the rejietition of the ope
retta will lie put on in a few days. For
excellence in acting the parts assigned to
them the participants are to be congrat
ulated.
BEDEVILED BRIDEGROOM.
Streator Goes After His Wife, but Her
Pa Is at His Heels.
Atlanta, Ga.. June 22.—One of the pas
sengers on the Central train "bound for
Fort Valley this morning was John T.
Adair, the father of the 14-year-old bride
of Walter H. Streator. who were the prin
cipals in the little domestic romance re
ported in these dispatches yesterday. Mr.
Adair was going to Fort Valley to prevent
his daughter and her husband from bid
ding defiance to parential wishes and au
thority.
Young Streator. it developed to day,
left for Fort Valley last night, deter
mined to assert his maritial rights to the
latter, since the rupture between himself
and his mother-in-law. which resulted in
his trunks, etc., being thrown out of her
house yesterday. The meeting between
the father of the young wife and the son
in-law. if the farmer arrives in
time, is likely to be highly inter
esting. Waen she was sent away
from Atlanta to separate her from her
husband, as per the agreementall around,
the youug lady was placed under the
charge of her aunt at a place called Myr
tle. six miles from Fort Valley, and that
quiet country retreat is the objective
point of the indignant father and the de
termined young husband. Before leaving
in pursuit of his son-in-law this
morning, Mr. Adair, who is a
well-known grocery merchant with stores
on Wheat, Ivy and Mangum streets, de
clared that he intended to bring his
daugater back home with him and pre
vent her from going with Streator, at any
risk. Streator, on the other hand, told
his friends that he was determined to
have his wife, from whom he has been
unjustly separated a month by her par
ents. Streator holds a responsible posi
tion in the office of the Frank E. Block
Company, and is generally esteemed in
business circles. He is 24 years of age.
The parents of the bride say they object
to the couple living together because their
daughter, who is just 14, is too young.
THE LAWTEY TRAGEDY.
No Clue to the Murderer of the Old
People.
Starke, Fla., June 22.—1 called to see
Dr. A. T. Stewart, the attending physi
cia,n this morning, at the inquest of Dr.
Gustave Drolshagen and wife, who were
murdered at Lawtey, Fla., Wednesday
night. June 20, and obtained the following
information.
Dr. Drolshagen was shot in the back of
bis head, evidently while asleep. His
wife, who was by his side, was shot in the
right eye (38-calaber ball)—not chopped
with an ax as first reported.
Dr. Drolshagen and wife were foreign
ers. They came to Lawtey some ten
years ago, and opened a general merchan
dise business, his wife attending to the
sales. About June Ihe sold out his busi
ness, and it is supposed someone, know
ing of the transaction, thought the old
folks had a good deal of money, and rob
bery was the object of the dark and cow
ardly crime. It is impossible to find out
whether the assassin got any money.
To all appearances he did not, as
the old gentleman's trousers were
hanging on the bed post with 30 cents in
one of the pockets, seemingly just where
he placed them. Mule tracks were found
at his gate, and the tracks answer the
description of a small mule stolen from
Mr. J. G. Alvarez’s farm the same night,
about six miles west of Lawtey. There
is as yet no clue to the horse thief or the
murderer.
This harmless old couple had no rela
tives in this country. They lived by
themselves and told no one their business.
They were supposed to be wealthy. There
is no clue as to where or with whom they
deposited their money.
ANCIENT PUZZLES.
The People of Yore Racked Their
Brains Like Those of To-day.
From the Philadelphia Press.
It seems ridiculous that the people who
lived hundreds and hundredsol years ago
were more interested it puzzles than you
and I are to-day. This is true, neverthe
less. The puzzles I refer to are those in
writing, although the ancients probably
occupied some of their spare time with
strange and puzzling devices of wood and
metal, as we ao. What a pleasure it Is to
solve the problems in our favorite maga
zines or newspapers. It is a very good
exercise for one’s brains, too, and where
a prize is offered to the fortunate boy or
girl who first solves the puzzles of differ
ent kinds, the work is more pleasant still
in the anticipation of proving oneself a
little cleverer than the others, and of re
ceiving; the gift.
We rind that the acrostic is the most
ancient form of puzzling mankind.
Acrostic is Greek for a number of
verses, the first letters of which form a
word—sometimes a name and sometimes
a sentence. The final letter may form a
word, or, as Addison tells us, the letters
will even run down the center of the
verses, as a seam. The Hebrew poets
often made their verses run over the en
tire alphabet. Twelve of the Psalms are
written on this plan, the most notable be
ing the one hundred and nineteenth.
This has twenty-two divisions of stanzas,
corresponding to the twenty-two letters
of the Hebrew alphabet.
Each stanza is formed of eight couplets,
and the first line of each couplet in the
first stanza in the original Hebrew be
gins with the letter aleph; the second
commences with beth, the third with
gimel, and so on through the alphabet.
The English divisions of the Psalms are
called after the Hebrew letter that be
gan the couplet. It was also customary
to compose verses on sacred subjects af
ter the fashion of Hebrew acrostics. This
was done with a view to aid the memory,
and such pieces were called abcedarian
hymns.
The riddle is also of ancient origin,
The Proverbs of the Bible, or sayings at
tributed to Solomon, are often in the
form of riddles. Was it not the Queen of
Sheba who proposed riddles to Solomon?
/The Koran, the scriptural book of the
Mohammedans, also contains riddles, as
do some books now in existence, written
in Arabic and Persian. The ancient
Egyptians also propounded riddles, and
one of the seven wise men of Greece, who
lived in, the sixth century B. C., was cele
brated for his riddles in verse. Homer,
the Greek poet, according to a state
ment in Plutarch, died of vexation at
not being able to solve a riddle. In the
middle ages riddles are encouraged for
amusement on winter nights in the baro
nial hull, and also in the monastery. In
later days some of the most brilliant men
of letters contributed to the list of rid
dles.
The anagram, or transposition of the
letters in words or sentences, was much
in vogue in Greece in the olden times.
The Cabalists, or Jewish doctors, thought
that the anagram always pointed out a
man’s destiny, and if his name written
backwards or transposed in any way
spelled a word with meaning, they firmly
believed it a revelation. The flatterers of
James 1, of England, proved his right to
the British monarchy as the descendant
of the mythical King Arthur, from his
name Charles James Stuart, which be
comes clui-is to Arthur's seat. The best
anagrams are those which have in the
new order of letters, some signification
appropriate to that from which they are
formed. When Pilate asked "Quid est
veritasf” ( What istruth!) he probably
had no idea that his questioned answered
itself. But it did: the transposition made
it “Est vir qui adest" (It is the man who
is here). Anagrams were written as
early as 250 B. €., and their name comes
from tho Greek words ana, backwards,
and gramma, writlug.
THE MORNING NEWS: SATURDAY, JUNE 23, 1894.
WOMEN WHO GAMBLE.
They Try Their Luck in Stocke,
Poker. Rouletts and the Races.
From the Philadelphia Times.
All women are gamblers at heart. It
does not matter whether the mania tends
toward bargain counters or roulette ta
bles, the spirit remains the same and the
desire to gets much for little is the in
centive that carries a woman into that
fluctuating, unhappy state of tenison
that is the heritage of gamblers.
At the races you see old women, young
women, high-bred women, novices and
deep-dyed tempters of the fickle goddess
of fortune, all mingling together in an
easy, fraternal spirit that levels all bar
riers between the belle of the "four-hun
dred-' and one whose precarious existence
is maintained through the tips of jockeys
and stable boys.
Watch them on the grand stand, elbow
to elbow, exchanging views upon the re
spective merits of their favorites, hastily
summoning messenger boys and disposing
of their money in a reckless greed for
gain. The hardened, time seared counte
nance shows no change when the horse
on which all her money is placed shows a
disposition to come in a beautiful last,
but the younger gambler pales and flushes
alternately and finally in a burst of hys
terical exultation or depression breaks
down and weeps like a baby.
Were you ever at Monte Carlo? There
the woman gambler is out in force. It is
not considered beneath the dignity of a
princess to risk a handful of louis on a
color or number, and the beginning in this
royal inconsequent fashion mary a woman
soon discovers that she is not playing for
pastime—she is staking sums that to lose
will mean a serious shrinking in her in
come, and frequently the principal is
made to disgorge to the last cent to sat
isfy this mad passion that in the feminine
breast rages far more fiercely than in
masculine compositions.
It is no unusual sight to witness a hus
band doing his best to induce the wife to
stop when her loss or gain is sufficient to
warrant a cessation of play. Seldom, if
ever, is he successful. She plunges madly,
intoxicated by the rosy glow of success or
maddened by a sense of ever increasing
loss.
At the gaming tables of Europe the
same women s faces are seen season in
and season out. Whence their income is
derived is a question. Certainly no con
tinued struggle with the wily wheel or
battle against the cards would result in
a definite means of livelihood, yet there
they are: When they win their hard
faces show a shade of softness. When
they lose the men in the assembly are set
upon by these women harpies, and with
even only enough money to guarantee the
railroad trip to their homes, they will be
overruled by the dominant desire to “try
their luck" and away goes the last cent,
sometimes to join the countless ones gone
before, sometimes returning in a glorious
interest, which but stimulates them to
try again when next the exchequer is full.
In this country there are hundreds of
women occupying social positions that
should influence them against such an un
couth and unwomauly pastime, who are
yet willing to go off on the sly to take a
flyer in stocks, to buy a lottery ticket or
to indulge in a quiet game in establish
ments that the world thinks are dress
makers’ abodes. In every large city this
desire to gamble is encouraged by un
scrupulous men and women, who find
that their own pockets are lined with
gold the while their visitors' purses are
day by day being gradually depleted.
Though "poker” .is generally conceded
to be a mans game, the drawing-room
cars and private card parties in mansion
and hovel tell'another tale. Women trav
eling long distances beguile the tedious’
moments by a friendly game, the friendli
ness, howover, ceasing when the question
of "make believe" so far as the chips are
concerned is broached by some unhappy
novice who thinks it is perfectly dreadful
to play for real money. It is not an exag
geration to state that at least half the
houses in the land are equipped with
some sort of gambling lay-out and the
women of these households are quite as
familiar with the technicalities of games
of chance as the sterner sex. Men need
not go the club if they wish to find a part
ner willing to put up money in opposition
to their own. The wives and daughters
are ready and willing to play, but though
they make most charming winners, they
are sorry losers. This is why, perhaps,
the men prefer playing with a man, for
it is rather hard to be obliged to lose in
order to be popular with the other side,
who bursts into tears when luok goes
against her.

ST. JOSEPH’S ORPHANAGE.
Many Prizes Won by Boys From Sa
vannah.
St. Joseph’s Male Orphanage, Washing
ton, Ga., June 22.—The examinations and
closing exercises of the schools of St. Jo
seph’s Orphanage took place Thursday
morning in the spacious study hall of the
institution. Many visitors from different
cities were in attendance, among them
being Rev. B. J. Keiley, of Atlanta, Ga.;
Brother James, C. S. S. R., of New Or
leans. and a number of ladies and gentle
men of Savannah and Augusta. At 9
o’clock seventy-eight boys marched to
their places in the study' hall and sang the
opening chorus, with organ and violin ac
companiment. The well-clad, merry
little men, ranging from tots in
kilts to lads of 14. showed good care,
kind treatment and happy contentment.
The boys were examined in catechism,
philosophy, algebra, arithmetic,civil gov
ernment, general knowledge and spelling.
Several excellent recitations by Patrick
Mehan. Xavier Huies. Eugene Bolchoz
and others varied the exercises. The ex
amination in philosophy drew attention
to the fine drawings on the blackboard
executed by the boys in explaining the
various powers in philosophy. The alge
bra and arithmetic classes were thor
oughly en.oyed, the quickness and bright
ness of the boys making it a real pleasure
to watcj; them at work In civil govern
ment these law-makers in embryo and
future presidents handled the constitu
tion with the familiarity of old politicians.
The spelling contest was a victory
without defeat on either side, for after
nearly thirty minute-' test, not one on
either side had faltered, so the prize of
fered had to be divided equally. The
patriotic young Americans joined heart
and voice in the glorious anthem, “M.v
country, 'tis of thee." Then came the
distribution of premiums, as follows:
First Grammar Grade —Gold medal for
Christian doctrine, presented by Rev. Fr.
Bazin, awarded to Daniel Clancy, Savan
nah, Ga. Gold medal for good conduct,
presented by Mr. Kerwin of New York,
to Daniel Henrahan, Savannah, Ga. Gold

Many book premiums were awarded in
the different classes. A pleasant feature
of the awarding of medals was the. fact
that many of them were presented by
young men who were once boys in the in
stitution, now rising businessmen.
Rev. Father Bazin congratulated the
boys and commended them for their ex
cellent conduct during the year. He was
glad that the friends of the institution
could see for themselves that the boys re
ceive the best of care and the most care
ful and painstaking training. He gave
the merit to the good sisters, who leave
nothing undone to promote their welfare,
and who certainly have reason to be
proud of the record of the year 1894.
RUNS OF THE RACERS.
McCafferty Scoops the Bookies in the
First Race at Sheepshead.
Sheepsheads Bay, June 22.—The pro
gramme presented to-day, was rather
deficient in quality, but made up in quan
tity what it lacked in that respect, the
races being quite numerous. The
weather was delightful and the attend
ance large. McCafferty gave the ring a
taste of his methods in the first race,
which was won by his horse, Hugh
