They must have some very fine chickens down at Savannah. In the city court on Wednesday last, as we learn from the News, London Hous ton was awarded $181 damages against the Savannah, Florida and Western railway. The claim was brought for the loss of a lot of poultry which was killed or scared away by a locomotive of the company. CHAUTAUQUA NOTBM. All attractive feature of the Chau tauqua program will be the bell ring ing by W. 6. Robertson. Mr. Robert son is considered an artist in this line, and Is sure to delight his audience by the sweet, dear muslo that can be rung from silver-tongued bells. The recitations by Fred Emerson Brooks, and the bell ringing by W. D. Robert son are the'entertainments of Chau tauqua. This week Chautauqua work will be under full headway. The chorus will meet in the Metho dist church for practice during the next two weeks. The matter was de. elded Saturday nlght,and the Board of Trustees granted the use of it for that purpose. The public will have the pleasure of again witnessing an exhibition of the progress made by Prof. Gearhart’s olass In heavy gyinnastios. His pupils are planning another entertainment to be given next week. Miss Maud Haight will assist Miss Flagler next week with her physical culture classes. Miss Haight has made a thorough study of physical eulture at the New York Chautauqua, and Is fully competent to assist Miss Flagler, whose classes have grown to a size unexpected. The Knights of Pythias hall has, doubtless, witnessed many a harrow ing scene during the initiation of many victims who had accepted the spider's invitation, to step into his parlor, all unconscious of the fearful fate awaiting him, but It surely has had no experience that In any way prepared it for the crowd tlyt swarmed there Saturday evening. Ancient Span ish royalty, nnt-to-be quenched thirst for knowledge shown In the discover er of our country, folks of “ye olden time” tlint our forofnthers loved, and the lively, energetic and flippant rep resentatives of tlie present, stage of go-aheadativeness that boasts of its accomplishments. From fourteen hundred to the nlnteeth century, types of the various intervening progressive steps of our country were present, and all had, or thought they had, a voice in the settlement of disputed points of interest. But the work went on in spite ot It all, and the tableaux are in a fair state of preparation. A nraill far Ike Frefeeaer. Tlie IIkiiai.ii Is pleased to make mention of the fact that the pupils of Prof. L. S. Gearhart, who has obarge of the Chautauqua gymnasium, have determined to give an exhibition for his benefit one evening this week or the enrly part of next week. Prof. Genrhart Is not making any money out of his present engagement here, as he came to do this work for the Chautauqua for his bare expenses. HIb pupils are not satisfied that he should not bo pnld something for his services, however, and have conceived the Idea of giving an exhibition for Ills benefit. It is due to Prof. Gear hart to say that he has not been con sulted on the subject, and that his pu pils have acted entirely upon tlielr own motion, with the approval of some of the citizens and Chautauqua offl- oials. An interesting entertainment oan be given by the class, and we pre dict that they will have a orowded house. More particulars will be given in a day or two. Thxbz are several young ladies in Albany who recite very nicely, who do remarkably ,well, In fact. Some of them will doubtless be kind enough to assist In entertaining the crowds of people that will be in Albany during Chautauqua. One of the young ladles reolted several selections, among which was that soul-stlrrlng produc tion, “Horatlous at the Bridge," to 1 small party of friends gathered yes. terday morning In a parlor up street. The lady was Miss Eva Brown, and her elocutionary ability Is as undoubt ed as her willingness to comply with friends' requests Is oharming. Thkkb are a great many delinquent license payers in Albany this year. Not less than thirty persons doing business in the city have failed to pay the annual license. The time is up, and the officers are now after those who haven’t paid. It is getting about time for another song that will run away with the pub lic to make its appearance. “Annie Rooney” and “Comrades” have both had their day. The Court Avenue has been sodded with a layer of white sand, which will Improve that thoroughfare very materially in rainy weather. Wiixinohau’s Hall, between Prof. Gearhart, Miss Flagler and the Guards, is in constant use from early- morning ’till late at night. “The harder the work, the sweeter the rest,” and so the people of Albany will find it in the case of the water works struggle. Thebe is a horse in Albany that be comes frightened and moves off at sight of a gun of any description. HERALDRY OF THE RAILS. Trademarks of Borne of the Well Knows Batlroede In Thle Country. Almost every railroad company has a device or motto which is print ed on the time table folders, the let ter heads and the illuminated cards that hang on wallH of .station, wait ing room and business office. These devices are usually printed in colors, and some of them are quaint and clever. One of the most familiar is the antumn tinted maple leaf, the main arteries of which designate the route of the Chicago, St Paul and Kansas City railway, which is popu larly known as the “Maple Leaf." A three leaf clover is the distinguish- tng mark of the Toledo, St Louis and Kansas City road, which is 00m- monly called the "Clover Route." The Houston and Texas Central railway has about as elaborate a de sign as any. Its main feature is a steel colored horseshoe hearing the name of the rood. Encircled by the shoe is a green four leaf clover rest ing on a background Of red, and con necting the heels of the shoe is a rab bit's foot labeled “Lucky Route.” To the fight just above the horseshoe appears a lone star. The four leaf clover is also the device of the Rome, Watertown and Ogdensburg food, each leaf bearing a letter, as “R. W. A O." The long stem of the clover cute lengthwise through the French word “Bonheur,” oonveying assur ance of good luck. Jay Gould's Missouri Pacific road has a large red seal, crossed by a rail road track, with the name of tile road in black letters covering the entire face of the seal. The heraldic stamp of the Wabash road is a red flag with a black center, in which appears the forward end of a locomotive, the headlight flashing the word “Wa bash.” The Lehigh Valley flies a red pennant with a diamond shaped cen ter of black, upon which ore the let ters “L. V." in white. One of the simplest of these adver tising devices is that of the Pennsyl vania railroad, which is a small red keystone with tho words “Pennsyl vania Lines” across its face. The Florida Central and Peninsular rail road prints upon its time tables a red shield, upon which appears the front of a locomotive, the trunk of an ele phant dangling from tho headlight, encircling which are the words, in red letters, “Florida Trunk line." The Georgia Southern and Florida railroad has for its device a shield printed in dark tints. On the lower surface of the shield is a picturesque scenic view showing a railroad train crossing a stream on a long iron bridge. Just above the picture are the words “Suwoneo River Route to Florida.” Tho Richmond and Dan ville Railroad company contents it self with the oddly designed initials “R. and D.” speared by an arrow and printed in bright red. A yellow disk on a black square constitutes the trade mark of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, the letters “B. O.” ap pearing on the yellow disk on each side of the faintly traced picture of a monument. A most peculiar device is that which the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific railroad has clung to for a great many years. It is an oblong open space, with a red disk at the left, labeled “The Great Rock Island Route." Occupying the greater part of the space ore the words in big, black letters, “A—Man," and crowd ing close upon the letter “A" is the diminutive figure of a man with a stick over his shoulder and a satchel in his hand. The device of the Erie railway is both simple and familiar. It is a black disk on a tinted square, the face of the disk hearing in white letters the words, “Erie Lines.” An Indian arrowhead, showing the words “Tampico Route," is the distinguishing stamp ot the Monte rey and Mexican Gulf railway.— New York Times. Dove parties are going shooting quite often now. The pea fields out on the Ball bridge road are the scenes of the “shoots.” The Lord Highlander. The Highlanders are loyal to Scot tish genius. Sir Walter Scott, while making a tour of the western High lands, wrote to the innkeeper of Ar- roquhar, Loch Long, to have rooms prepared for him. On the appointed day it rained ceaselessly. As Scott drew near the inn, he was met on the hill near the house by the landlord, who. with bared head and hacking every yard os Scott advanced, thus addressed hjm: “Gude guid us, Sir Walter I This is just awfu’l Sic ana downpour I Was ever the like? I really beg your pardon I I’m sure it’s no fault o' mine. I canna think how it should happen to rain this way, just as you, o' a’ men of the world, Bhould come to see us. It looks amaist personal I I can only say, for my part, I’m just ashamed o’ tlie weather I"—'Youth’s Companion. GEORGIA CHAUTAUQUA. Florida Shad. The shad of Florida are not the same as those of the Hudson river, or the Connecticut, or the Susque hanna. The same fish come each year to the particular river where they were horn, and in their appear ance are slightly different.—New York Press. How Crows Are Regarded In Ireland.
