Years t K o—Coincidence of Admiral
Dewey - * Visit Willi Thnt of the
Imfay ette.
Hooking over some old papers of my
father's the other day. I find that bj* a
singular coincidence the 19th day of
March has been twice noted for
Savannah's entertainment of distin
guished #ues:s. Dewey arrive 1
March 19, 19CK>. and Gen. La
fayette on the same day, 1825. Let us
compare these receptions. Each tested
the city's hospitality; each bore away with
him pleasant memories of three days' so
journ.
Lafayette had been royally entertained
at Charleston and was expected here on
the day mentioned upon the invitations
of Governor tle-arge M. Troup, the
Legislature, the Mayor and Council and
the citizens generally. Early in the week
the various committees and sub-commit
tees had completed their preliminary
■work and every man, woman and child
was eager to greet the distinguish’d
friend of our country. The city was
crowded with guests from all parts of
the state. The Governor, George M.
Troup, with his staff, the visiting mili
tary companies and a host of people,
were all ready to give him a warm wel
come to our shores. He was expected
to arrive from Charleston by the steam
boat Henry Schults eariy on Saturday
morning, so at 5:30 a. m. the Chatham
Artillery fired the signal gun agreed upon
warning the military companies to meet
on their parade grounds. All the ship
ping in port was dressed with American
and French flags and the town was dec
orated in the gayest colors. The eastern
end of the Bay was crowded with people
looking over the trees and marshes for
the first appearance of the boat. A
landing platform had been erected at
the foot of East Broad street and every
man who was to take a part in this mem
orable reception was at his post. The
following weil-remembered names consti
tuted the Reception Committee: Mayor
W. C. Daniell, Charles Harris, W. B.
Bulloch. George Mtllen, J. W. Jackson,
Isaac Minis. W. R. Waring, George Jones,
Alexander Telfair, Sheftall Sheftall, Eben
Jackson. John Shellman, Robert Haber
sham and John Screven.
The military companies also appointed
a committee to unite with the above nam
ed gentlemen. This was composed of
Col. James Marshall, Capt. James Hun
ter, Capt. Robert Pooler, Maj. W. T. Wil
liams. Capt. Charles A. Higgins. Lieut.
George Schley, Capt. Tattnall. (How sug
gestive those name are of "the old Sa
vannah.”)
About mid-day the welcome news spread
through the city that the boat was in
sight. The Reception Sub-Committee
had gone down the river and boarded
the steamboat from Fort Jackson. The
General was addressed by their chairman.
George Jones, and by Col. Brallsford of
the Governor's staff, to which addresses
he made appropriate replies. As the boat
came tip to her landing she fired a sa
lute, which was responded to by the rev
enue cutter Albert Gatlatin, and the hand
on hoard played the “Marseilles'' and
other patriotic airs. When she reached
the landing a double line was formed,
facing inwards, composed of the Mayor
'and Aldermen of the city, the clergy, the
judges and officers of the United States
Court, the Superior Court and the Court
of Oyer and Terminer, the Union Society,
deputations from the Hibernian, the St.
Andrews and. the agricultural societies,
with badges and banners, and citizens.
The General was accompanied on the
h;at by the Governor of South Carolina
with his staff. Col. F. K. Huger. M.tj.
Gen. Youngblood, Gen. Geddes, Adjt.
Gen. Earle. Col. Keith, and a large num
ber of Carolina's distinguished citizens
and soldiers.
As the General landed, the Chatham
Artillery fired a salute from the Bluff with
four field pieces (one of whi h was cap
tured at Yorktown). He was here received
by the Mayor. Dr. \V. C. Daniell. Pass
ing up to the Bluff he was enthusiastical
ly and repeatedly cheered. On arriving on
the green he was presented to His Excel
lency. Gov. Troup, by whom he was wel
comed to the slate of Georgia. The fol
lowing is the address of the Governor:
"General: ’Tis a little more than ninety
years since the founder of this state first
set foot upon the hanks on which you
stand. Now four hundred thousand peo
ple open their arms to receive you, thanks
to a kind Providence, it called you to the
standard of liberty, in the hopelessness
of our early revolution, it has preserved
you, that in your latter day the glory
of a great empire might he reflected back
upon you amid the acclamations of mill
ions.
-•‘The scenes which are to come will he
for you comparatively tranquil and plnei.l;
there will be no more dungeons, no more
forms of tyrants; oh, sir, what a consola
tion for a man who hns passed through
such seas of troubles, that the million of
bayonets which guard the blessings we
enjoy, will stand between you and them.
But enough, welcome General, welcome,
thrice welcome to the state of Georgia. '
With evidently much feeling Lafayette
responded as follows:
"The kind invitation I just received from
Your Excellency, and which on the meet
ing of the general assembly, was be
stowed upon me by both Houses, on
terms most gratifying, could not hut con
firm my desire to visit (he state of Georgia.
This state, sir, I had not the good for
tune to Berve on her soil, but our more
Northern movements were not uneonneei
ed with its safety and rescue. I have
long been attracted to it by its patri
otisms. sufferings and exertions, by per
sonal obligations anl private affections.
Permit me here (o express my regret .it
the rapidity of my happy visit through
the several states. The celebration of the
greatest of oii birthdays at the seat of
the general government could not he
omitted, and although I have been ob
liged to sacrifice the motives of propriety
end the feelings of personal friendship
which called me to witness the inaugura
tion of the executive branch of the Union.
I could not give up the honorable past
conferred upon me on the hnlf secular
jubilee of Bunker Hill as the representa
tive, being the only surviving Major Gen
eral of the Revolutionary Army. My dear
sir. I am happy to witness the improve
ments which within less than a century
of existence, and fifty years of independ
ence, have attended in this state tile
blessings of republican institutions Ac
cept if you please, for yourself and. the
two Houses of the Legislature. m.v most
affectionate and respectful thanks."
He wns then Introduced to several Rev
olutionary soldiers who were present, and
then accompanied by the Governor. Gen
Harden, Col. McAlister, and the officers of
the regiment, he proceeded to walk down
the line and inspect the troops. After
passing the troops he entered the carriage
prepared for his reception, and the pro
cession moved on in the following order:
1. F M Stone, marshall of the city.
-I. Divisions of Georgia Hussars. Lib
erty Troop and Mclntosh Dragoons. Jas
Barnard, first marshall, wilh staff.
8. Gen. Lafayette and Gov. Troop in
kindau, drawn by lour gray horses.
4. Mayor and Col. Huger in second car
riage.
5. George Washington Lafayette and
Mr. Lc* Vasseur in third carriage
6. Revolutionary officers, J. Habersham,
second marshal! ami staff.
7. Brigadier general, Governor’s staff
and general's staff.
8. Committee of Council, citizens and
military.
U Aldermen.
10. The reverend clergy, judges, officers
of the United States, consuls, officers of
courts. A. Cope, third marshall, and staff.
11. The Union, Hibernian, St. Andrews
and agrjculfural societies. K. Bourquin.
fourth marshal. Citizens in ranks of
• lght. S M Bond, fifth marshall. Jos. S.
D* lot, sixth marshal.
12. Divis.ons Georgia Hussars, Liberty
and Mclntosh Troop of Cavaliy.
It. Field officers of other regiments.
14. Officers Arruv and Navy.
U> Company "dicers First and other
regiments. Lieutenant colonel, Chatham
Artillery, United States troop* 4 . Savannah
Fencibles Savannah Volunteer Guards,
Georgia Volunteers, Republican Blues. Sa
vannah Juvenile Guards, Mayor and
legimental staff.
Quite an imposing array for a city of
that size. I have heard men who witness
ed It say that nothing before or sine**,
hi their experience ever equalled it, but
they were absent at Dewey’s reception.
The procession moved through East
Broad, Broughton. West Broad, South
Bread, Abereom and otlv r streets, ar
riving at the house kept by Mrs. Max
well on the corner of Barnard and Hull
streets at twilight.
It would occupy too much time and
space to tell of all the honors shown, and
the entertainments given our great hero,
above all to recount the speeches, the
toasts, the responses, etc. For three days
each cne seemed to devote himself to
showing h.s appreciation of Lafayette,
and a public dinner, ball and banquet fol
lowed each other as the days passed by.
It marked an epoch in Savannah’s history
and was the first grand opportunity pre
sented to her for the display of unbound
ed hospitality.
Perhaps with the exception of the wel
come given to Admiral Dewey, this re
ception of Lafayette is the most marked
event in Savannah’s record of hospital
ity. The display of patriotic fervor, the
public decorum, (we had no police by day
then) the generous emulation among all
to show how glad they were to receive
him, the presence of the Governor of the
slate, stamping the whole affair as the
result of legislative courtesy, all make th*
record of the old times and the cider peo
ple conspicuous reminders of the manner
in which a guest should be honored, and
Savannah has lived up to the record.
The public dinner was given in the long
Council room at the Exchange. Judging
from the number of toasts, speeches and
songs with which they beguiled the hours,
this dinner must have lasted until well
Into the next day. Hardly a name of prom
inence is absent from the list of guests,
and reading them over is to recall our
earlier history, and the men who made
If. There sat the Governor and guest,
while grouped around them, were all who
had built up this, our city, and made it
a landmark in the state. Gen. Daniel
Stewart, Maj. James Hamilton, Col. K.
J. Tattnall. Col. Murat, Col. Hunter,
George B. Cumming, Geo. W. Anderson,
Wm. I. Way, Wm. Davies, Capt. Win.
Law. Gen. Harden, James M. Wayne,
Capt. Stiles, Jas. B. Read, Samuel B.
Parkman, Jas. P. Screven. Wm. Schley.
P. Will'berger, John Olinstead. J. P. Hen
ry. Alexander DeLyon and George Wash
ington I>afayette (son of the General),
were among the guests who contributed to
the evening's entertainment.
Next day (Sunday) the General accom
panied by the Governor and suite and th *
Mayor, attended divine service at Christ
Church, and heard an appropriate sermon
from the rector, the Rev. Mr.Casher After
church he received a visit from the French
residents and also from the officers of the
various military organizations in the city.
Monday morning he laid the corner stone
of the monument to Gen. Green, in John
son Square, also the corner sione of that
to Count Pulaski In Chippewa Square.
I wish I had space, to record these most
interesting proceedings, the processions,
the speeches, the impressive ceremonies,
etc., but I must reserve them for another
day.
Finally, on Tuesday evening, a public
reception, to which ihe entire population
mere Invited, was held at the Exchange
Ing Room, followed by a ball. Thousands*
came forward to grasp the hand of the old
hero. Sometimes an old revolutionary
soldier would stop forward. Then th -4
General, taking both hands in his, would
look in his face and say: “Oh, yes; I le
member it well.’’ 'lVars seemed to come t
his eyes on one or two occasions when
some old friend stepped forward to gr.isip
his hand. But all things come to an end,
and howover much h>> would have liked to
prolong his visit, he was compelled to
leave us at 9 o’clock for Augusta, per
steamboat Altamaha, Capt. Harford,
which had been fitted up anew for him.
He was escorted to* the boat by the Gover
nor and his staff, the Mayor and Council,
the military, and a great concourse of peo
ple. A salute of twenty-four guns was
fired by the Marine Corps. The Governor
and Gen. Harden accompanied the General
to Augusta.
Thus was received, entertained and
parted from, the friend of Washington and
Greene, the champion- of our cause in its
darkest hours, the distinguished and ven
erable Lafayette. His stay wiih u< can
be well compared with Dewey’s, and we
have seen that the Instincts of hospitality
imbibed from our fathers sti'l live among
us. and so we abide, with “the latch
string outside” always read “*o welcome
the coming and to speed the parting
guest.” •

Home Discipline s>i*cii**ed at Kin
dergarten Meeting .
The sixth meeting of the mothers and
teachers' kindergarten class was held
yesterday at Miss Charlton’s Kindergar
ten at Taylor and Drayton streets. Sev
eral new' m mbers joined the class for
half the series of talks, and there was a
go and attendance.
The class was questioned first as to the
experiences on- could give a child at
home, that would relate him to something
useful* in life, and many toys, plays and
gam s w< re suggested.
Then the question of discipline was tak
en up and introduced to the class by ask
ing each member to answer the following
questions:
“Do you whip you chi d? Why?”
“What lesson does the whipping teach
him?”
• if you do not whip, what system of
punishment do you use and why?”
“What class of faults do you consider
most serious?”
“The only way to look at punishment
for a child,” said Miss Backus, “is the
way the state looks at It for a man. to
see what law Is broken, and what
breaking entails. Is the fault against na
ture, man cr God? If we do not find out
the motive behind the fault, and ’the
strong desire it had its root in, we ia/.inot
justly punish. When we have discovered
these, there is only one course to pursue,
the deed must inevitably recoil upon the
doer, and the same punishment m\pst in
variably follow the same fault. j
“Whipping is an * asy way of Solving
'he whole question, but if. you whop for
everything, what does it teach the! child
of the. working of eternal law? J&imply
that brute force is back of everything. If
on the other hand the member that of
fends is punished, the child feels the jus
tice of tire punishment, and why it
should obey law. if he fights, tie his
hands: if he kick/*, his feet; if he bites,
his mouth, until ho can say that he can
take rare of th'* member, and keen it in
order. This is kinde girt n discipline in
a nutshell, and a trial of it for one month
will prove to any mother* that the best
disciplining ca i be done without w hipping
and that onl; by teaching the child the
sacredness arid immutability of law can
we fit him f)r Ids place as a protector of
nature, a brother to man, and a child of
God.”
Miss Batkus would like it clearly un
derstood tnat any one may attend any one.
lesson of the course, and that all teachers
are invited to as many as they can at
tend. The hours are 5 o’clock Mondays,
and 12 ('clock Saturdays.

THE FEAR OF HUMBUG
Prevent* Many People From Trying
11 Good Medicine.
Stomach troubles are so common and in
most cases so obstinate to cure that peo
ple are apt to look with suspicion on
any remedy claiming to be u radical, im
manent cure for dyspepsia and indiges
tion. Many such pride themselves on th< ir
acuteness in never being humbugged, es
pecially in medicines.
This fear of being humbugged can ix
carried too far, so far, In fact, that many
people suffer for years with weak diges
tion rather than risk a little time and
money in faithfully testing the claims
made of a preparation so reliable and
universally used as Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets.
Now Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets are
vastly different In one important respect
from ordinary proprietary medicines for
the reason that they are not a secret
patent medicine, no secret is made of tJielr
ingredients, blit analysis shows them to
contain the natural digestive ferments,
pure aseptic pepsin, the digestive acids,
Golden Seal, bismuth, hydrastis and nux.
They are not cathartic, neither do they
net powerfully on ony organ, but they
cure Indigestion on the common senso plan
of digesting the food oaten thoroughly
before it has time to ferment, sour and
cause the mischief. This is the only
secret of their success.
Cathartic pills never have and never
can cure Indigestion and stomach trou
bles because they act entirely on the bow
els, whereas the whole trouble Is really
In the stomach.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets taken after
meals digest the food. Thnt is all there
Is to it. Foot! not digested or half digested

WHY im. HATHAWAY cinua
CHRONIC DISEASES.
WONOERFI I. POWER OF DIAGNOSIS
Wcakfilfil Manly Function.. Varied,
eele, Stricture, Specific llloot] Pol,
aonine, Catarrlinl Di.eu.se. and
AH Other Chronic Com
plaints Yield to Hi. Won,
derful Treatment.
J. NEWTON HATH YWAY, M. 1.
There are two things esssential with the
great ohysieian:
First—Power of diagnosis.
Second—Knowledge of ‘the proper meth
ods to apply for the counteracting of dis
eased conditions.
The first of these is very near akin lo
the genius of the artist and the poet. It
must be born in a man. Without this
ability to locate a disease and tell its
condition, the physician is always work
ing in the dark and his practice is litt’.s
more than one of experiment. Men like
this are dangerous to health: it would be
far better, usually, to let nature take her
course.
The keen instinct of an Indian hunt’ r
sees a score of signs of a trail that the
white man would pass by unnoticed. So
it ts with the expert diagnostician. The
symptoms, often very slight, that other
physicians fail to notice mean to him the
beginning or the progress of disease. And
this is why there are great specialists,
and this is also the reason, because of the
lack cf this inborn ability that so many
fail to cute.
It is this power of diagnosis, this ability
to tell immediately the nature of a disease,
that has placed Dr. J. Newton Hathaway
at the head of Ivs profession in nis spe
cialty.
It was thought by many several jears
ago when the X rays were first discovered
that they could be used to advantage in
the diagnosis of disease, but as Dr. Hath
away pointed out at that time, these ex
pectations have newer been realized —and
they never will be. The X rays will not
show the minute cells, the surfaces of ihe
deli ate tissues, the microscopic germs of
disease, the poisonous gasses, etc. Who
will claim that uric acid or any other poi
sonous substance in the blood can be de
tected by the X rays?
Dr. Hathaway's diagnosis is infallible.
He makes no experiments. When he treats
a case he treats it for the diseased con
dition which exists. This is why he cures;
this is why his cures come about so
speedily; this is why his cures are perma
nent.
Weakened Manly Functions.
Dr. Hathaway's'treatment for that ter
rible condition of mental and bodily weak
ness brought about by youthful ignorance
and folly or by excesses in later life, is
unlike ail others. It is not, as most others
ar-, simply a stimulant which acts for a
few days and then leaves the poor, delud
ed patient in worse condition 'than before.
Dr. Hathaway's treatment cures; it acts
on every weakened portion of the body, it
builds up nerve tissue and muscular
strength and revitalizes the whole body.
Every organ is put in such condition that
it can perform naturally its proper func
tions. All unnatural losses and drains are
stop: ed. The eye becomes bright and tha
brain clear. Youth returns to the prema
turely old body. There is no more lama
back or shambling gait; there is no ntora
dread of society or weakness of memory.
The hitherto miserable victim becomes
fitted for a husband and a father-
This is what Dr. Hathaway's treatment
does and It does it invariably in every
case, never mind how serious the condi
tion of the patient.
Varicocele.
Any operation for varicocele means that
a per ion cf the blocd vessels which sup
ply the glands must be removed; conse
quently there can never be, after such
op ration, the strength and virility which
previously existed in a state of health.
Ij r Hathaway’s method of treatment
cures varicocele without any operation
and restores to these w akened blood ves
sels and tho glands which they supply a
perfect, natural state of health and vital
ity His is the only method of treatment
which does this. The treatment is painless
and requires no less of time from work.
Stricture.
Dr. Hathaway also, by a method en
tirely his own, cures stricture without
any operation or pain, or less of time from
business. This treatment was invented
by Dr. Hathaway and there is positlv tly
no otter treatment in use which will curs
stricture without aid of the knife or cau
tery.
Illnoil Poisoning
in all its different stages, is cured with
absolute certainty by Dr. Hathaway’s
treatment without salivation or any other
ill efie ts. The cures performed by him
are radical, speedy, permanent.
He also treats, with uniform success,
all other fotms of blood and skin diseases,
such as scrofula, eczema, ulcers, sores,
pimples, blotches, etc., etc.
( ntnrrli. Bronchitis, Asthma, Etc.
Dr. Hathaway is known throughout the
whole country as the most successful of
all specialists in the cure of all Catarrhal
diseases, including the severe and chronio
forms of bronchitis, asthma and Incipient
consumption.
Dr. Hnthnway’s Book,
Treating fu ly cf all the diseases which
he treats and telling of his method, to
gether with a great deal of valuable in
formation, which will help anyone to ex
amine his own condition, will he sent
FREE on application, as will also care
fully prepared self-examination blanks.
ConMiillntion anil Advice I 1 rec
At office or by mail.
\ PERSONAL. INTERVIEW.
Dr. Hathaway is very desirous that,
whenever It is possible to do so. his pa
tients call on him personally at his office
at least for preliminary examination. In
nil such cases, where treatment Is taken
and the patient resides out of town. Dr
Hathaway will deduct the railroad fare
paid (one way) from his fee.
