JUST AS THEY EXPECTED. EVERYBODY KNEW ROOSEVELT WOULD BE THE MAX. The Rough Riiler In Popular Here an Well an Elnebere an<l Some Dem ocratic Defection May Be Expect ed If the Kansas City Platform In Not Satlnfactory, Though Not Enongh to Hurt—Ponsibillty of Republican Opposition to Col. Lester Backed by Republican Boodle Diseusned—The First Dis trict Congressman Does Xot Think It Worth Worrying About at Pres ent. However. The nominations of McKinley ond Roosevelt attracted considerable comm nt in Savannah. The peculiar situation with regard to the vice presidential candidate had been watched with interest and pret ty nearly everybody was ready to say “I told you so," when' the result was made known. it Is probably the first political conven tion. of a national character at 1-ast, where both candidates on the ticket were nominated unanimously and with such overwhelming enthusiasm. It remains to be seen what effect enthusiastic unanim ity at a convention has upon an election. A good many people in Savannah seem to take it for granted that it means suc cess and those who take this view of it do not seem to be at all worried at the outlook. It is not forgotten that McKin ley received a very respectable vote in Sa vannah four years ago and there are peo ple who predict that he will receive a greater number this year. Many expressions favorable to Roose velt were heard. The Rough Rider se ms to be popular in Savannah just as ho Is everywhere else, and if he should take a notion to come to Savannah during the campaign it is safe to say that he would meet with a flattering reception. A good many people are already partial to the idea of Roosevelt as a presidential candi date four years hence and a desire to help this idea along may gain some voles for the ticket that would otherwise go Demo cratic. It was estimated that several hundred Democrats voted the McKinley ticket in Savannah four years ago. Whether the number, who do so this year will he great er or less, depends largely upon the plat form to be adopted at Kansaß City, if the Chicago platform is used as a model, said a Bay street man. many business men will exercise the same independence which they displayed four years ago. If, on the contrary, the platform is conserva tive on the money question, and declares against trusts and Imperialism, the de fection from the regular Democratic vote will be slight. The question w'hich seemed to arise most naturally after the nominations was made known, was what effect the harmony existent In the Republican party is likely to have upon the local situation in the Firet Congressional District. The opinion was freely expressed that an effort would be made by the Republicans to carry the district, and that their candidate would doubtless be able to secure large financial support from the National Committee. That something of this kind is to be ex pected. was the opinion expressed among Democrats. The Republicans already have one can didate for Congress in the,field, in the person of Mr. Tomlinson F. Johnson, but the "regular” Republicans, that Is the Deveaux faction, which was recognized in Philadelphia. Insist that they do not consider Mr. Johnson a candidate, and that he will not get their support. An in timation was thrown out some time ago, that an effort would be mode to get a goldbug Democrat to make the race. Col. Lester, when sepn about the situa tion yesterday, said that it is too early to taik of these matters. It is very evident that he is keeping an eye on the Republi can situation, however, and that he is rtady to anticipate any move from that quarter. "Roosevelt was playing for the nomina tion all the time," said Col. Lester, speak ing of the convention. “He managed his campaign very shrewdly. That was a very palpable political trick though.that wear ing of his Rough Riders’ hat in the con vention. It remains to be seen whether he Is as strong in New York as he seems to be in the country outside. "That was a good move of Quay, too." said the First District Congressman, “to base the representation of the states in the convention upon the vote cast for the national ticket. As matters stand now the nominations of both the great parties are made by states which do not cast a single electoral vote for the ticket. The North ern states dlcate the nominations in the Democratic party. 4Utid the South does the voting. The Southern delegates have a big say so in naming the Republican can didates and yet furnish no electoral votes. The Northern Republicans are getting tired of this sort of thing, and I am surprised that Quay did not press his mo tion." Col. Lester said that he was very well pleased with the selection of delegatts to the Congressional Convention as announc ed in ytsterday’s Morning News. He was not ready to say whether or not he would go to Statesboro next Wednesday. HAXDALL CLIFTON’S PROMOTION. Change In Sontliern Rallwny Office nt Savannah. Mr. Randall Clifton, who has been in charge of the Southern Railway’s passen ger office here as district passenger agent since the opening of the office last Decem ber. will shortly have for Washington, where he has been given a promotion in the shape of a chief clerkship In one of the Important departments of the .Southern Railway. The department to which Mr. Clifton has been assigned has not been an nounced yet. but the propotion is under stood to be a very considerable one. The information was given yesterday by Mr. S. H.

Driver, un less the latter decides to accept a position which has been offered him as chief clerk of one of the departments of the company In New York. The. Savannah office will remain for the present in charge of Mr. James Freeman and Mr. Ed G. Thomson, though the force may be increase 1 later.

Clifton and Driver arc popular with the railroad men as well as the pub lic generally, end their departure will be regretted. The promotions which have been offered speak sufficiently of their standing with the company. TO SEE WHICH WIX9. Savannahs nn<l riant System Train to Cross lints To-morrow.

I’nOF. WIEGAXD’S COMPOSITIONS. Has Published 144 nn.l Hi., Latest Is an Unpublished Opera. The recent souvenir edition of the Sat urday Review, in honor of the Southern Music Teachers' Association, among the sketches of leading musicians, has the following sketch of Prof. John Wiegand, which will be read with interest in Sa vannah: "Probably the most widely known com poser in the South is John Wiegand of Savannah. He is a prolific writer and many of his compositions bear the stamp of enduring fame. His works published by J. Fischer & Rro.. New York., Thlebs otierlin Music Company, St. Louis; Oliver Ditson Company. Boston, and Henry White, of Washington. D. C., number 111. and are with i-ossibly twelve excep tions of a sacred nature, embracing six masses, three with score for voices an 1 orchestra, quartettes, trios, duets and many solos with chorus or violin obligato, aiso several instrumental pieces and a few of the -lighter order. Mr. Wiegand writes that he has just completed an opera which is still In man uscript. He is not only successful os a composer, hut as organist, violinist and teacher. He was born in Hamburg, Ger many, Oct. 20. 1842, and received his first instruction on the violin from his father, and later studied the organ, pianoforte and composition under Dr. W. Volckmar, through whose inspiration he was no doubt, imbued with that solid foundation in harmony which is so conspicuous in his compositions. At the age of fifteen he moved to Cas sel, where he was put under Louis Spohr for violin ard composition and also stud ied violin \vi>h R.chard Seholer, who was a pupil of the noted violin virtuoso Fer dinand David. In 1860 to escape conscription in the Prussian army, he sailed for America. Soon we hear of him playing in the or chestra at Charleston, S. C.. then travel ing with a theatrical company and after the close of the Civil War with the Ger man Opera Company. In 1886 he settled in Augusta, where he soon became promi nently identified with its musical advance ment, and held the position of organist in St. Patrick’s Catholic Church. With but two interruptions, one a trip to his old home in Germany and Hie other a short trip with the Theodore Thomas Orchestra, his life was spent there up to the fall of 1898, when he moved to Savannah, where he now resides. The commencement of his unfolding as a composer in Augusta now ripened into perfection, and not only Savannah, where he meets with the greatest encourage ment and appreciation, but the world, recognizes him as a composer of unusual ability. He has lived to hear his fame pro claimed.” Short Day for the Police. Business was hrief with the police again yesterday. Only a few prisoners were brought In and none of those on a serious Charge.

TENNESSEE COTTON COMES HERE. Facllitle* for Knoxville Commerce Through Part of Snvnnnah. From the Knoxville Sentinel. J. A. Nelson, marine and market editor of the Savannah News, who is among; ihe visitors in Knoxville at present, re calls with interest the fulfillment of Sa vannah’s promises when that city se cured the help of Knoxville and other cities In getting deep water from Savan nah to the sea. Through the ir.def nijsa ble efforts of local and outside influences, pressure was brought to bear on the Com mittee on Rivers and Harbors, which re sulted! in securing an appropriation suffi cient #o deepen the Savannah channel no that now some of the government’s deep est draught transports come up to the docks without trouble. “Savannah is now in position to de clare her promises fulfilled in every re spect.” said Mr. Nelson. “When the com mittees representing the trade bodies there sought the support of leading com fnercial organizations and cities in the South Atlantic arid other Southern states, it wos on the ground that these sections would be benefited by deepening the Sa vannah river to the sea. Cities through cut fhe South were good enough to help bv sending memorials to Congress, ami among these Knoxville was represented Following the success of the movement for deep water. the establishment of steamship lines, was begun and continued until the present matchless fleet, of ocean liners was inaugurated some years ago, forming one great system of ferries be tween Savannah and Baltimore. Philadel phia. New York and Boston. This opened the way for the exporting of cotton, grain, naval stores, lumber and other ptaple products of fhe South, which hes been fhe means of running the clearing house figures there to $150,000,000 yearly. On the other hand, the advantage of the water rate to the South on Eastern manufactured goods, which were formerly shipped by rail, accounts in a large measure for the unequaled prosperity commercial inter ests have enjoyed during the past few years. It was freely predicted that with deep wafer Savannah would become the natural outlet for the territory, including Tennessee and extending as far west hs the Mississippi. This has come true by the completion during the past few weeks of the terminals of the Greater Seaboard Air Tdne 'Railroad at a coat of oor> non forming in connection with the Ocean Steamship Company’s properties In most extensive svstorn of terminals in the United States. The Seaboard system, or ganized nnd financed through the genius of John Skelton Williams of Virginia bridged the Savannah and practically bull* an island in the swamps opposite the city, on which have since been construct ed tracks, sheds, warehouses and wharves at an enormous cost. In all this improve ment Tennessee is repaid a thousand fold for the helping hand she extended in get ting deep water by the facilities furnish'd for quick nnd cheaper shipment o” ti e cotton crop. Through the energ. tic efforts of chip brokers the prommne=s with which vessels for continental ior s n a be loaded was brought to the attention of Tennessee shippers, with the result that products thot previously went through other ports now’ find an outlet at Savan nah with the advantages to the shlp?v*r which were predicted and promised by the promoters of deep water years ngo. “With the indications for a larger cot ton crop this season the’chances are for still larger receipts at the port of Savan nah from Tennessee cotton lands,” he said. “Reports of increased acreage nnd the use of more commercial fertilizer* in nearly every Southern state whs recently confirmed by the government’s June crop report, so that little doubt prevail about the yield being i large one. provided weather conditions arc fsvof&blt, ’.’he big prices of cotton lust season, which ranged from 2 to 3 cents above the pre vailing prices the previous season, was an incentive to plant cotton in flower beds and on house tops. Despite ih< fact that big crops depress values, farmers won’t be persuaded to lessen tl.c adfreaipe, so that prospects for the maintenance of last year’s prices are not promising. Many were deceived on last season’s crop, how ever. and the same may be the case th * coming year.” —There is on amusing story about Wu Ting Fang, the Chinese minister, who cannot feel very funny at present.

H. B. Boyer, Weather Bureau. Chinese Traits. From Mr. J. F. Bishop’s “The Yangtze Valley. Suicide is app&lingly common in China. In Makuden a frequent mode of taking life, especially among young wives, is biting off the heads of lucifer matches, though thedeath from phosphorous poison ing is known to be an agonizing one. Swallowing gold leaf or chloride of mag nesium. Jumping down wells or into rapid rfrvers. taking lead, cutting the throat and stabbing the abdomen have been popular modes of pelf destruction. But these are rapidly giving place to suicide by opium, owing to the facility with which it can be obtained, the easy death which re sults from it. and the certainty of its op eration In the absence of the foreign doc or, his emetic and his stomach pump. Medical mission hospitals in China save the lives of hundreds of would-be suicides every year. The Chinese are perhaps the most prac tical people on earth, and a curious sys tem of moral bookkeeping adopted by many shows this feature of the national character in a. very curious light. There are books inculcating the price of “vir tue.” and in these a regular debtor and creditor account is opened, in which an in dividual charges himself with all his bad acts and credits hfmaelf with his ones, and the balance between the two exhibits his moral position at any given time. At one place in China, where there was r*o inn. I slept in the room with a coffin which had been unburied for five years, because the geomancers had not decided on a lucky site or date for the interment, and for the whole time incens** had been burned before it morning and evening Outside of commercial pursuits an over powering shadow' of dulness rests on Chi nese as upon much of th#* Oriental life. The lack of an enlightened native press and of anything deserving the name of contemporary literature; the grooviness of thought and action; the trammels of a rigid etiquette; the absence of athletics, and even of ordinary exercise; the paucity of recreations, other than the play and the restaurants, which are often associated with opium shop* and vicious resorts, and the fact that the learned having commit ted the classics to memory, by which they have rendered themselves eligible to office, have no further motive for study—all make the blissful dreams nnd oblivion of the opium pipe greatly to be desired. —A Massachusetts Yankee has been tempting immortality by inventing a hat the wearing of which will assure to the mc*i bald-h aded of the race anew and luxurious head of hair. To all outward appearances the new patent hat differs not at all from the ordinary derby. Its secret is cone ale 1 within the crown There, fastened >o th** Interior of the crown and thereby raised an inch or more above the hair, is a small metal ie ceptacle. Into this receptacle is locked a specially prepared pad. which i*s soaked tefore using with a se ret combination of chemicals. When the hat ia worn the heat of the head generates a chemical action which throws off from the tad a vapor. This vapor acting on a perfectly bald scalp will produce anew crop of hair, or if the hair has begun to fall It will renew and strergihen the growth. In this wav a bald-headed man need lose no time In taking treatments, hut may go about his business serene in the certainty that the vapor is doing its work. THE ORPHAN BRIGADE. ONE OF KEYTIt li \ *9 F VHOi S REGI MENTS—ITS F.UMH > HE* OttI). ilnrd Liven, Glorious Dew ths~Gr la sted Survivor*, \\ ho Represent hat Is Left of the Orphans, Re call, at Louisville, tlie Steering Time* of ’O4. From the Louisville Post. Once in the dark days of 1864, when the Confederacy was tottering to its fall, a Southern soldier said: • However this war may terminate, if a man can truthfully claim to have been a worthy member of the Orphan Brigade he will have a kind of title of nobility.” The passage of time has shown that speaker to be no false prophet. So long as the people of the South remember the deeds which were burned into the records of American glory, in the fire of battle, just so long will the Orphan Brigade have a place in he hearts and minds of all Dixie land. It has been said, and said, too. by a Northern historian, that in all’ the annals of civilized warfare no army, for courage, for endurance or for deter mination ever excelled the Orphan Bri gade. Organized and enrolled into the Confederacy under peculiar difficulties, half equipped, half clothed and less than half fed, the “Orphans” fought like ti gers, endured like Stoics and died like Kentuckians. On n llnndred Fields. For four years the soil of seven South ern States was reddened with fheir blood. Their "rebel yell” was heard on a hun dred bloody fields, and* it never lost its note of defiance. Sometimes the Orphans were cavalrymen on foot. Sometimes they were infantrymen on horseback. Some times their batteries hail no guns, and sometimes their guns had no cattle to haul them. But never—tramping barefoot over frozen roads, sleeping in mud, starv ing in prison or leading forlorn hopes against a gallant foe —did they waver in their allegiance to the cause of the South or flinch from the call of duty. The Or phan Brigade had many deaths, but few dqperters. It charged often, it tied rarely. Its niche in history was carved with cold steel and its memory will endure while Kentucky soil breeds brave men. And of all the thousands of old soldiers who have gathered here in Louisville from every corner of the Southland for the Confed erate reunion none has a better right to wear the sword of true knight hood than the few grizzled survivors who represent what is left of the “Orphans.” Make-up of the llrlgrade. The brigade, made up of the Second. Fourth, Fifth, Six.h and Ninth Kentucky Regiments of Infantry, an 1 Cobh’s Bat tery, Byne’s Battery, and Graves’ Bat tery, was recruited from eighty-three counties of this state. Fully nine-tenths of the members were native Kentuckians. Such men as Breckinridge. Buckner, Preston, Hanson. Helm and Lewis com manded thepi. and not alone in the staff and line, but throughout the rank and file might be found bearers of the best names and members of the oldest fami lies in this commonwealth. They were bom fighters, and the title to their birth right has been undisputed for more than a third of a century. In the preface 10 his book. “The His tory of the Orphan Brigade.” Col. Ed. Porter Thompson writes a follows: Twttcrud and Torn. “Coarse, ill-fitting and ragged clothes, tattered shoes and battered hats; ugly and cheerless surroundings could not se riously depress and could not at all dis guise the intrepid spirits who were as ready in the almost hopeless days of 1865 to spring to action at a word, as they wore in the first flush of their martial experience, when they had no thought but that ba’le meant victory and victory meant the establishing of a government founded indeed and in truth upon the consent of the governed.” Gen. Joseph B. Johnston once said there was "no better infantry in the worl 1 than the Kentucky Brigade.” In the winter of 1863-'64, when Gen. Breckin ridge was ordered to Virginia, he applied to Gen. Johnston for permission to carry the brigade with him, under promise from President Davis that a brigade of other troops should be furnished as an equiv alent. Johnston replied, “The. President lias no equivalent for it. It is the best brigade in the Confederate army.” If** ltei-or<l. Once during the war in referring to a detail of Hood’s defense the Mobile Ad vertiser and Register said; “Troops should have been placed at that point of whom not the slightest doubt existed. Had the KentucHy Brigade been there all would have been safe.” To review' the history of the Orphan Brigade would be to detail, in great part, the Southeastern campaigns of the Civil War. From Donelson and Shiloh to Cam den and Jonesboro the story of the. <)r phaiiH is one long chapter of heroism and bravery- To begin with, the brigade en tered service without, uniforms or suffi cient equipment. Not until after Shiloh were the Kentucky troops fully armed. When Gen. Breckinridge assumed com mand the Second, Third and Fourth Reg iments were partially supplied with Bel gian rifles. Other regiments had only smell arms or shotguns. Flintlocks and old-fashioned smooth-bore muskets were numerous. Some could be fired only by a match or a firebrand. Squirrel rifles were also abundant. As late as Jan. 2. 1862. complaint was made that the Ninth possessed only 216 serviceable guns, b* - sides seventy old flintlocks. \ll Sorts of I niforiiiM. Of uniforms there was every imaginable sort. Few were alike in cut or color, and by far the greater number of recruits wore civilians’ garb. Falstaff’a army was not more strangely appareled than the host of young Southerners at Camp Boone*. But they were terribly in earnest. Sick ness came to the camp and hundreds died of measles. Exposure carried off many others, but survivors lost not a whir of their energy. Of cuch sniff was the volunteer soldiery of the Confederacy made, and none but over-powering odds of Americans could have whipped such Americans as these. In the preliminary skirmish* b In South ern Kentucky the Orphans had a hand but their first real baptism of Ah* came at Donelson and Shiloh. From that tim*- on the members of the five regiments and the three batteries lived hard lives ai.<J died glorious deaths. Some of Their Itnttlen. At Shiloh the guns of Cobb’s bitlerv were twice captured by the Federate, and twice recaptured by the Con fed rates within ten minutes’ time. At Shiloh, too George W. Johnson, Kentucky’s first (’on federate Governor. fell fighting in the ranks, and at Shiloh the raw recruits, the farmer lads from the field* of Kentucky, fought Ilk'* veterans of ten campaigns. In close succession followed the rctr.Mt Into Mississippi, and the spbndid dofcrH* of Vicksburg. Then came Baton Rouge, and the battle of HartsviUe. With scarce ly enough clothes to hid* their nakednes*. and with no shoes upon their blistered, bleeding feet, the Kentucky troops woul 1 march all one day for the privilege pf meeting a stubborn foe the next.
