v . I‘nsident R. O. Irwin of the Plant
;{ ,, n returned yesterday from an ex
un jol Eastern trip.
I ; ii as there was some corresi>ond-
I . . ween Mr. Erwin and a committee
tl f ti,, Wholesale Merchunts’ Association
t h- subject of Florida mileage books,
wore withdrawn by all roads in that
uVuit Feb. 1, his return was of cou
, :• interest to the merchants on ac
of the unsettled state of the corre
sfvti.knee, the purpose of which was to
r ,the books. When seen on the ques
u,,n of restoring Florida mileage, Mr. Fr
an settled the matter by a positive state
„i,.nt tliat the books would not, in his
(pit,ion, be restored.
Tiw i vil which led to their withdrawal
a < .1 matter of considerable conjecture
ty tur merchants at the time, and there
t,ri si ill many theories advanced. The
sun assigned by the railroads is that
tin wholesale scalping of mileage books
vss such that the roads could not profi
tably continue them Without some means
of protection, which has never yet suc
cessfully developed. Photography has been
used, the signature of the purchaser of
b book has been affixed to it, and tnere
has been an attempt to stop the traffic by
placing a description of the purchaser in
the book;, but all this has proved to no
avail. The wily scalper seems to thwart
the loads in every attempt thus far made
to keep the books in the hands of the or
iginal purchaser, and there seems to be
r.o successful plan In the country to do
i Hence, with no apparent means of
slopping the traffic, the linos concluded to
call off the books altogether. The scalp
els are said to have done most of their
work in Jacksonville and in the smaller
tui's comraensurately.
Other theories are advanced, however,
mvl among them is the demand said to be
made on the roads by public officials In
Florida, who were estopped from asking
free transportation on account of a pro
hibitive act by the legislature, but who
could ask a mileage book which the roads
could issue to them without violating the
law. In this connection, Mr. Erwin was
asked whether there was anything in -he
talk. He replied with a smile, which indi
cated he had possibly heard something of
the notion before, and said he preferred
to say nothing. Mr. Erwin did not say
whether the officials made a heavy de
fh md on the roads for the books or not,
bur intimated it was not the cause for the
withdrawal. It is said, too, that (ourists
were making extensive use of the' books,
and the roads considered It profitable, for
tiiis reason, to call them off, at least until
the tourist season is over.
It is altogether improbable that the
roads will take the matter up again soon.
In fact the chances are that mileage books
in Florida are a thing of the past, and
their restoration will always be fought.
The effect of the situation will be keenly
bit by Savannah merchants, nearly all of
iviiom do business in Florida, which has
for a long time been a profitable field for
them. Business there will not be altogeth
er abandoned, of course, but with the rates
now required by the roads, the merchants
will find it impracticable to have salesmen
■visit remote territory as often as before
iates were raised. And yet the merchants
are still unable to see where the roads will
l>e profited by any qct which would hinder
the thorough canvass for Florida business.
They consider the matter one which ad
mits of a simple solution; if they do not
S' U goods, the roads cannot haul mer
chandize cither to or from Savannah. It
would seem to the interest of the roads to
have the territory well worked, for the
reason that when goods are distributed
from Savannah, the long haul Is then had
to Florida; whereas, if they are taken
there from markets by water
ami distributed from Florida coast points,
• lie roads do not derive this benefit.
I>y both state and federal law the roads
ore prohibited from discrimination by giv
ing a rate to drummers which is not al
lowed generally. Hence it has been pro
posed by the merchants, or possibly will
be, that full price be.paid for the books, to
be issued only to drummers, and that a
rebate be allowed when it is returned.
I his would leave the matter on its origi
nal basis and enable the merchants to
continue their men in all quarters of the
slate. While this might be an evasion of
tiie law, it is not certain the roads would
even them accede, though it Is said a vig
orous attempt will be made by the asso
ciation here to bring about some sort of
arrangement. The merchants do not re
gard the situation as a fight on them, and
i c ref ore have sanguine hopes of accom
plishing their purposes.
IV THUS RAILROAD WOULD.
Matters of Interest In Savannah and
Elsewhere.
Col. B. W. Wrenn, passenger traffic
hiunager of the Plant system, ieft yester
day for New Orleans.
Capt. A. O. MacDonell, general passen
ger agent of the Florida Central and Pen
insular Railroad, came up from Jack
sonville yesterday and spent the day in
Savannah on business.
In the political campaign the railroads
claim to fear no evil from candidates who
Htack them with a view to making capital
of the fancy that railroads are monopo
ies. The officials believe the roads stand
in close touch with the people, and any
movement seeking to prejudice the ;>cople |
B dnst them would be unpopular. For!
instance, in the case of the Georgia and |
Alabama and other roads that maintain
colonist bureaus in the North, and are |
'‘“mg their endeavors to increase popula-
I °n in the state, It would seem unfair,
biey think, to call thenv. public enemies.
‘ lie officials realize it would be an up-hill
m uter to prejudice the people, at least
“Ailnst. some of the roads.

A CASE OF ASTHMA,
Mr. Simon basics of Texas Finds n
Care.
Asthma is simply catarrh of the bronch
ial tubes. The only way asthma can be
cured is to cure the catarrh which causes
it. All remedies that do not cure the ca
tarrh can do no more than palliate for a
short time the distressing symptoms. It
can never lead to a permanent cure. Mr.
Simon Lastes of Lone Oak, Tex., had
asthma for a long lime. In a letter to
Dr. Hartman he writes as follows; "I
had asthma. During four months the
doctors cost me $75. I want to tell you
that Pe-ru-na did me more good than that
$75. I have not had
asthma since I began iiijEjFi'yyN/tcl
to take Pe-ru-na. My Wj

CADETS WOS IS A HI V.
Defeated the Guards nt Indoor Bnlt
It! to 13.
The crowd that witnessed the in-door
ball game, between the Cadets and Guards
last night, was not as large as usual, nor
was the game as snappy as that usually
put up by the military teams.
Gallagher pitched his first game for the
Cadets, and acquitted himself creditably,
striking out six men. He has good speed
and splendid control, and with proper
training will make the Cadets a valuable
man.
The Cadets got in the game early, scor
ing two runs in the first inning and four
in the second.
The score was a tie in the sixth inning,
and there was intense excitement, but the
Cadets seemed to have on their winning
clothes, and try as hard as they might,
the Guards seemed powerless to stave oft
the defeat.
Stoddard caught an excellent game, put
ting out 15 men and having 4 assists to his
credit. The Guards were badly handi
capped by the absence of Cann and Mc-
Donough. However that did not cause their
defeat. They did not play ball. They had
several opportunities to win, hut through
poor base running, and lack of coaching,
they threw every chance away.
Myers reached second base in the ninth
inning, and someone in the audience cried
out, “go back to first,” and go back he did
without further argument, resulting in his
being put out. Had a coacher been on the
line, this would not have happened, and it
is hoped for the good of the game, that
the Guards will see to It that such poor
exhibitions of ball playing will not occur
again. The score is as follows:

Dissatisfaction With the Grand
Chancellor’s Methods.
Knights of Pythias are considerably
stirred up over the announcement that Im
peachment proceedings have been begun
agaJnst Grand Chancellor Charles R. War
ren. The rumored grounds of impeachment
are put down as dereliction of duty.
An officer of the Grand Lodge said yes
terday that no action has yet been taken
in that direction, but it Is not at all im
probably that steps will be taken to se
cure a more business-like administration of
the affairs of the Grand Lodge. There has
been a good deal of trouble in securing
anything like a prompt transaction of bus
iness, he said, and unless something is
done, the order will have to have anew
leader in Georgia. The statement that
charges have been made or that impeach
ment proceedings have been instituted, he
said, is altogether premature.
THE MORNING NEWS; THURSDAY. FEBRUARY 24. 1898.
AT THE THEATER.
James A. Henrne'a Splendid I’rodac
tton of "Shore Acres.”
It was truly a pity that "Shore Acres”
was seen by such a small audience last
night, for it is one of those plays that does
one good to see. It does more than amuse;
it teaches a lesson; several of them. And
It does even more than that. It makes one
think. If there was a person in the au
dience who was not deeply touched by the
tender sentiment and the beautiful pathos
of "Shore Acres,” that person must find
life hardly worth living.
The play is one of the prettiest that has
ever been written. It is a true picture of
simple country life and tells the moat nat
ural story of perhaps any play that has
ever been staged. It Is simple, sweet, sol
emn and better that) all, it is strong. It
portrays the New England character at Its
best in the Christ-like love and tenderness
of Nathaniel Berry and its worst in the
greedy, grasping harshness of his brother
Martin, It portrays New England woman
hood, spiritual, emotional and conscien
tious, in the daughter; helpful and patient
In the mother.
Asa bit of “genre" work the character
of Joel Gates, the ancient, mildewed de
pendent of his more prosperous neighbors,
is admirably drawn.
To say that Air. Herne plays the part
as well as he wrote It, is to pay him a high
compliment. Mr. Herne’s success in
“Shore Acres" is an old story, albeit it is
increasing every day.
The company which assisted Mr. Herne
was an unusually large and competent
one. Those who took the principal parts
were; Robert Fischer, James T. Gallo
way, Franklin Garland, Grace Gaylcr
Clark and Julie Herne. The children who
figured in the play were charming little
tots.
In the second act the audience is given
an excellent idea of what a typical New
England country dinner, prepared for
“company,” is,
"Courted Into GouT” is the attraction
to-night. No better proof of the success
of the play could be found than in the
twenty weeks’ consecutive engagement of
it nt the Bijou theater in New York city
last season, and the further verdict of ap
proval placed upon it by the conservative
clientele of Boston theater-goers, who pat
tronlze the Hollis Street theater at “The
Hub,” where Air. .McNally’s company has
recently closed successful engagements of
two weeks. “Courted Into Court” abounds
in laughable situations, and is punctured
with catchy music. The company pre
senting the play is said to be a good one.
In it are Marie Dressier, John C. Rice and
John G. Sparks, Jacques Kruger, James
F. Callahan, Damon Lyon, Oscdr Fig
man, May Duryea, Sally Cohen. Clare
Palma, Agnes Alilton, Carrie Francis, Ma
rion Brighton and Blanche R. Verona.
To-morrow Jnnes’ band will give two
concerts, a matinee and night concert.

The night programme Is os follows:

In which is described the memorable In
vasion of Russia by Napoleon I. The
strains of “La Marseillaise” are heard tell
ing of victory, but quickly changes as
Moscow’s burning and the horrors of the
subsequent retreat are pictured, the whole
ending with the national hymn of trium
phant Russia, “God Save the Czar.”

Mr. F. N. Innes.
”In Dixie Land” (popular fantasia) intro
ducing all Ihe principal players of the
band in solos, and concluding with an en

famous song, “Old Folks at Home."
Rev. Dr. Edward Calisch of Richmond,
Va„ will lecture before the Savannah Ly
ceum to-night on “The Moral of Dr. Jekyl
and Mr. Hyde." Dr. Calisch is one of the
brilliant lecturers of the day. A good deal
of Interest has been taken in his coming
to Savannah, and he will no doubt lx>
heard by a large audience. The lecture
will be In the Guards Hall.
Aluch interest has already been mani
fested in the coming of the Boston Ideal
Banjo, Mandolin and Guitar Club, which
will appear at the Guards’ hall next
Thursday night, March 3, under the au
spices of the Young Men’s Christian Asso
ciation. The club is not composed of new
artists, but they have played together for
several years. It ha* always been the pol
' y of the club to cater to the musical
.aste of the public at large, consequently
the programmes have been arranged to
suit those trained in music as well as those
who have not had such an opportunity, but
who have the taste for melody which char
acterizes the average American. Therefore,
they have drawn material from all schools
of music and from the most famous com
posers, whether for the orchestra, piano,
mandolin or' banjo. The compositions of
some of the members of the club are
sought for from one end of the country to
the other, but are always reserved for at
least one season, thus giving their patrons
the benefit of their own peculiar novelties.
Perhaps a good idea of the great length
of their repertoire can be conveyed by
stating that they have had the only oppor
tunity ever allowed an organization like
this to play on several occasions with the
celebrated Sousa’s Band and Reeve’s hand.
They played two whole summer seasons in
one of Boston’s most popular theaters with
a change of programme each week.
