A SCHEME TO SAVE MISSOURI.
A I.nte Convention Might Uefeat the
Sllverltex.
St. Louis, May. 21.—State Chairman O.
C. Maffett of the democratic committee
will go to Washington at once. Ex-Gov.
D. R. Francis is already there. The some
what startling theory is advanced that
the question of a state convention in Mis
souri to consider silver will be determine !
in Washington, with the President of the
United States as a party to the delibera
tions. It is well known that President
Cleveland would like above all things to
see some western state turn down the sil
ver sentiment in open convention. It is
also well known that Mr. Francis sin
cerely believes that if the matter is de
ferred until August or September, dele
gates being chosen in July, the conten
tion could be prevented from declaring
ln favor of free coinage at 16 to 1. He be
lieves this, notwithstanding the fact that
the last state nominating convention de
clared in favor of silver. He will make
known his views to the President, and If
President Cleveland approves them, Mr.
Maffett will use his influence to call a
state convention.
A LOVER. SHOOTS HIMSELF.
He Decide* That Hi* Marriage Should
Not Occur.
Atlanta. Ga., May 21.—J. T. Zimmer, a
young drug clerk in the employ of the
Elkin Watson Drug Company, made a
desperate attempt to commit suicide by
shooting himself this afternoon. Zim
mer, who Is of good family, was engaged
to be married to Miss Bessie MeDuflle,
the daughter of a well known cont-actor
and politician, but for some reason be
came possessed of the idea that the mar
riage should not occur, although there
was no objection hy either family. This
afternoon he went to his room on Jones
avenue and after writing a note to his
mother telling of his troubles, put a pistol
against his side and fired for the heart,
but missed it, and probably he will recover.
When she was informed of her lover's act,
Miss McDuffie hastened to hts bedside. If
he recovers a wedding will likely celebrate
the event.

THE MORNING NEWS: WEDNESDAY, MAY 22. l!)o.
WON RN THE CADETS.
The SSO May Week Prlxe Goes to
Company E.
The prize of SSO offered by the May
week committee to the city comfiatiy hav
ing the largest percentage of enlisted
men in the parade last week has been*
awarded to the Savannah Cadets. Chair
man Lindsay was notified to this effect
yesterday by Col. G. A. Mercer, chair
man of the committee of field officers
which was intrusted with thesaward of
the prizes.
The members of the Oglethorpe Light
Infantry were confident on the day of the
parade that they had obtained the pr-ze.
as they believed they had turned out 100
per cent, of their enlisted strength. There
was a question, however, of the enlist
ment of two men who had been dropped
by the company a few days previously,
and notice of their discharge forwatdfil
to the adjutant general's office for record,
hut from which no reply had been re
ceived as to the discharge being placed
upon record there. The Oglethorpe* did
not include these two men in their esti
mate. Capt. Rockwell received a reply
of a later date than the parade stating
that the discharges had been tiled and
would take effect upon the receipt of
such notice by him. This being the case
the two men were legally enlisted men
of the company on the day of the parade,
this made the enlistment of the Ogleth
orpes on that day 51 men, and as the
company only turned out 49 enlisted men,
it fell short of the record made by the
Cadets, which was 76 out of 7S enlisted
men. The percentages of the companies
making the best records in last Wednes
day's parade are as follows:
1. Savannah Cadets 97.4
2. Oglethorpe Light Infantry 96
3. Chatham Artillery 95.5
4. Cos. I>, Savannah Volunteer Guards. 94.9
5. Cos. A, Savannah Volunteer Guards.9l.7
6. Irish Jasper Greens 50.5

ABSOLUTELY PURE
THE TENDERLOIN.
A Fnnioim District That Hus Lost It*
Depravity.
From the New York Sun.
The original Tenderloin precinct In the
annals of the police department of New
York was the eighth, the station house of
which was in Prince street and is now In
Macdottgal street. Its boundaries are Ca
nal street, Houston street, Broadway and
the North river. It was a great resort for
thieves, crooks and disorderly persons, and
furnished thelargest amount of ;>ollee bus
iness. In 1879, when the Eighth precinct
was the hight of its deplorable prominence
the arrests were 5,500 In a year, ugulnst 2,-
500 in the Twenty-ninth precinct, the pres
ent Tenderloin. The captain best known
In connection with Eighth was Charles Mc-
Donald, better known as “Lightning Char
ley." He was appointed in 1879. and ,alm*l
his title <Yom service In the thirty-fifth
street station.
With the growth of the city further up
town, the moving away of the hig hotels
and the encroachments of stoics and ware
house in Eighth precinct, the Fifteenth
or Mercer street precinct, became the Ten
derloin. Its reign was brief. The Twenty
ninth (now tlie Nineteenth) precinct, the
present Tenderloin, extends from 14th to
42d street, and the western boundary Is 7th
avenue. It takes in both stiles of Broad
way and has a larger number of hotels
than any other precinct In this city. The
part that gave It its unsavory reputation
lies between 6th and 7th avenues and 23d
an 1 34th streets. At one time both skies
of 6th avenue were largely taken up with
concert saloons, nnd among these In ths
Tenderloin were the Buckingham, the Star
and Garter, theCremorne, the Empire, the
San Soucl, the Arg.vle and the llaymar
ket. Sixth avenue between 23d and 34th
streets at that time was as much crowded
by night as Broadway Is now hy day. Ar
rests were many, and strangers visiting
New York name to tills neighborhood as
one of the sights of the town.
A' present the Tenderloin Is a name
chiefly. Most of the establishments which
gate it a national. If nut an international,
ill repute ltnxe either moved away or have
been closed for good. The side streets be
tween 6th and 7th avenues and 25th and
26th streets are mostly occupied by mem
bers of th > French colony. It Is In th
heart of the region of table* d'hote. 27th
street, notorious In old Tenderloin days, is
now occupied chiefly by colored residents,
31st and 32d streets are given over to bus
iness uses. 31st streets Is mostly occupied
by German tenants. Anew church has
ben built there within two years, 6th av
enue is now as quiet at midnight as any
other New York thoroughfare uptown—de
cidedly more so than 3d or Bth avenue. The
number of arrest* in the Nineteenth pre
clnct last year was 4.253, while in the Fif
teenth (Mercer street! the arrests were
4,040, and In the Tenth (Eldrlgde street),
9.184. The Eighth precinct, the Tenderloin
of other days, had a total of 1,900 prisoners*
of whom 1,620 were men, mostly for minor
offenses.
GAIL HAMILTON'S INFLUENCE.
Blaine Would Frequently Reverse
Hl* Position in fin Argument lie*
cun**- of Her Judgment.
From the Philadelphia Press.
The serious Illness of Gall Hamilton has
called out a great deal of gossip concern
ing this talented woman and tier late dis
tinguished relative, James G. Blaine, says
a Washington correspon lent. A promi
nent official, who occupied confldentlal re
lations with Mr. Blaine and others i:i the
Garfield cabinet, said to-day: "The Influ
j encf which Miss Dodge had over Mr.
i Blaine was something remarkable. I do
■ not believe another instance can he found
1 in all our history where a woman not the
| wife of a statesman has exerted so much
■ influence over publlr affairs. I personally
know of instances tn which Mr. Blaine
was in the cabinet room arguing In favor
of a certain policy. In the midst of his
argument, perhaps, he would receive a note
from someone and ask to he.excused for
a few moments. On returning he would
reverse his former position and argue as
strongly on the other side. It was known
! to his colleagues that whllo out on these
l occasions he talked with Miss Dodge. This
is not a fairy tale, but something whieh
fell under my own observation, and under
that of others now living, it Is nothing
discreditable to Mr. Blaine, either, for Miss
Dodge's advice was generally sound. I
onee heard Gen. Garfield say he would
| lather take her Judgment and intuition
! together than the opinion ef uny living
man.”
—The extraction of tannin from palmet
to leaves Jias now become a practical In
dustry, and it is claimed that leather tann
ed with this product can be move econom
ically produced than that which Is treated
with oak or hemlock bark, says the New
Yo’-k Sun, while the residue forms a val
’ liable paper stork, which Is also utilized.
In the process of extraction the leaves and
stems are separated, the stems are crush
ed flat through rollers, while th/* leaves
are finely rmeded; this material is then
placed in a large wooden tank and covered
with water; the mass is brought to th"
boiling point but not allowed to boll vlo
lently—being kept near but below the boil
ing point for 48 hours, the liquid being
then really for the tannery. After the tan
nln lias bene extracted, the palmetto It

in which the production of tanntn end fi

DEFEAT OF THE INCOME TAX.

Entitleil to the tre.llt for Having i
Drought About the Rehearing.
Washington. May 21.—Commissioner Mil- !
ler this afternoon sent the following tele- j
gram to all collectors of Internal revenue I
in the I’nited States; “Dispense with !
the services of all persons employed un- |
tier the aßomam-es made for Income tax j
work, at the close of business on the 25th j
Instant, reporting at once the number i
discontinued and the salary and expense
allowance of each."
Many more or less Ingenious specula
tions regarding the history of the last
decision of the supreme c-ourt of the I'nlt- 1
ed States upon the Income tax law have I
been circulated, ami the supposed attl- |
ludos of several of the justices thereto
at various dates between the close of [
reargument ami the reassembling of the
court yesterday have been set forth with
much detail. It may be worth while to
state a few facts concerning the decision
and the preparation of the opinions.
There was but one formal conference
by the justices of the court upon the In
come* tax law subsequent to the reargu
ment. This conference was held on May
11, and there was never any doubt after
that conference as to the attitude of the
several Jostle.** nor as to what the decis
ion of the court would be, nor as to the
concurring or dissenting opinion. Tho re
hearing of the ease. It Is authoritatively
learned, was brought about in accordance
with the long settled practice of the court
as laid down In the ease of Walker vs.
tho public schools of St. Louis. One of
th* Justices, presumably Mr. Shlras, who
voted with the four declaring the law con
stitutional at the first hearing, expressed
a desire to have the ease reargued, and
communication was then hud with Jus
tice Jackson to learn if he Could sit
with the court. But hnd he not been able
to rome to Washington, the rehearing
would have been granted Just the same.
The preparation of the opinions was be
gun at once after the conference referred
to, ami there Is gooEl authority for saying
that the opinion expressing the Judgment
of tho court was submitted in type to the
several judges as early ns last Friday.
Outside of the action of the Justices
themselves the chief credit for securing the
rehearing of the cases Is sabl by those who
are acquainted with the facts to be due to
W. D. Guthrie of New York, who opened
the argument both on the original hear
ing and the rehearing. When the decision
of the court was nnnounced on April 8, Mr.
Guthrie was impressed with idea that upon
a rehearing the majority of the court eould
be Induced to declare the whole law in
valid and he advised that a rehearing be
asked for. It Is said that he was antago
nized In this by nearly all the array of em
inent counsel engaged with htin In the ease
their vi.-w being that It w-ould be best to
hold to what they had rather than to rlrk
they knew not what. But lie pressed the
matter so vigorously that at last his as
sociates WETe converted to Ills opinion.
CHOI'S IN THE STATE.
The Nights Rather Cool, Hut the Out
look Favorable,
Atlanta, Ga., May 21.—The weekly cot
ton report of the weather bureau Issued
to-day says: “Light frosts were very gen
eral In the northern and central portions
of the state on the morning of the May
14, but It is now believed that no serious
or lasting Injury resulted to any crop.
The nights during the whole week, how
ever. have been a little cool for cotton and
young plants in several counties have
been killed out to such an extent as to
necessitate replanting.
“The weather upon the whole was not
suitable for cultivation and many field*
that were last week full of grass and
weeds are now In hut little better shape.
The cotton crop Is not yet sufficiently ad
vanced to admit of any well formed opin
ion as to what the final outcome will be.
“Corn, oats, wheat and all fruit except
psars, whieh have suffered from blight in
several sections, are generally ln good
condition, with the prospects still favor*
able, with seasonable weather, for good
yields.”

; Prof. Prosper De Pietra Santa
Of Paris, Says:
AS a large number of patients lack the necessary
power to digest sold food, and would through
the use of stimulants be merely qxcited and
; weakened, therefore, 1 regard it of immense value
: to the practitioner to bring to his aid a nutritious
• to.nic and remedy like the Jolldllll Holt’S Malt
: Extract, which will act not only as a tonic, but as
J a nutrient as well, and which is less exciting than
! wine as a stimulant.
