BEST season ever known.

great crowds to the island.
The Average Daily Movement. Both
Waya. Mn Been 1,7:55 During the
aiontli* of May, Jane and July.
Eaeh Month Showed an Increase
Over the Business of Last Year.
The Season Is Not Y r et Over—lt
Is Probable That It AVIU Last Near
ly a Mouth—Not L'ntil It Begins to
Fall Off Considerably Will the
Road Reduce the N'nmber of
Trains.
The Tybee Railroad has done the big
gest passenger business this season in its
history. The season on the island has
been very successful, the visitors having
gone done in crowds. Not only have Sa
vannahians patronized the island in great
numbers, but the business from the in
terior cities has exceeded that of past
seasons. If the season that is drawing
lo a close may be taken as a criterion of
those that are to follow, it is probable
that the popularity of the resort will cause
the business of the line to increase with
every year.
It is probable that there will be nearly
e month of the Tybee season yet. The
most popular portion of it, however, has
passed. The railroad reports that its busi
ness is falling off daily, but it is probable
that it will continue heavy for two or
three weeks. Not until the travel has
fallen off considerably will there be any
reductions made In the number of trains
that run to and from the island.
Last summer there was a storm alarm
on the island. It was predicted that a
storm-from the West Indies would sweep
the coast, and on Aug. 12 many of those
on Tybee took the warning and came to
the city. There was no storm, at least
it did not affect Tybee. Out at sea and
along the coasts of the Middle Atlantic
and New England states, however, it
wrought havoc. The season did not amount
to anything after that alarm.
This summer there have been no storm
predictions. It is hoped there will be
none. That last summer caused a great
deal of alarm, even though the blow did
not strike Tybee or Savannah. The sea
son has not been interfered with thus far
by news of storms, and it is hoped that
residents may be permitted to finish out
the hot months without having to seek
safety in the city.
The ball nights will continue, twice a
week, Tuesdays and Thursdays, until the
season is over. Last year the last ball
was on Aug. 27. It is not yet known
when Proprietor Graham will close his
hotel, but that will have an effect upon
the season.
During the months of May, June and
July the railroads hauled an average of
1.735 passengers daily. This was in both
directions. The following table will illus
trate the Increase in the business of this
season over that of last. The numbers
6how the passengers hauled to the island
during the months:
1599. 1900. Increase

July 25,519 28,941 3,422
Total 53,215 60,701 7,485
When 60,701 is multiplied by 2, the num
ber of passengers carried both ways is

is not great enough, Superintendent
Clement Saussy is convinced, but he gives
it in order to keep upon the safe side.

Some Salty Observations of a Sick
Man.
Editor of the Morning News: The news
papers—yes, that’s so—the newspapers
have got America by the nose and the
corporations, led by the railroads, have
got'lt by-the tail, from the President to
the plebeian, and are carrying it to—God
knows where, for nobody else does.
The one goal, the paradise, “the fields
elysian," whatever that may mean, is gold.
Get that and you can control everybody
and everything from the present emperor
of America to the peasant at the plow—
from the Senate down to the saloon.
The commercial spirit has seized the
bit and is dashing straight at the chasm
of moral ruin. '
And if the preac'her objects it takes btit
a little time to ridicule him Into silence or
starve him Into subjection. A Southern
paper has set .the pace by cartooning a
pastor who criticised the bad conduct of
its favorite mayoralty candidate.
The average editor has no trouble at all
In giving theological Instructions by the
column to the preacher, and such knotty
problems as miracles, the incarnation,
providence, etc., are disposed of as quic'k
ly and irreverently as Voltaire's denial of
the inspiration of the Bible.
To the average reporter, every pious
man is a Purilan, it being understood
that a Puritan is an ignorant hypocrite;
and every advocate of reform, especially
in the matter of Intemperance, is a fa
natic.
One motto: “The news, all the news,
nil the news every day,” seems to hang
out the press door, and everything is told
from the diplomatic performance of the
nations to the putrid details of the Police
Court. And when some “Puritan” or
“fanatic" objects, he is gravely told that
publishing the details of crime decreases
crime, when, surely, if that had been
true we would have had a paradise In
America. Statisticians declare that the
United Stales lead the world in murder,
and that crimes of all kinds have vastly
increased in the last decade.
The saloon is known to be by all men
n veritable hot bed of inspiration for
ciimes of all kinds, and yet the press is
as silent as the grave on the subject
save to ridicule those who oppose tile
saloon.
Why did the Mayors of Huntsville and
hew Oilcans close the saloons during
the recent riots? Because they were
chief factors of danger—the dynamic cen
ters of anarchy.
Recently a lengthy article appeared In
• Georgia dally, which, after relating the
old sophistries against prohibition, ended
by declaring If the Legislature passed
■uch law the cities of Georgia would not
®'>*y it. I replied to one point only, viz:
Liat the writer was advertising the liquor
dealer ae an anarchist. The editor in
formed me that the article was Inserted
* n <l paid for as an advertisement. But It
w as not so marked.
1 he glories of local option are extolled
the great panacea for Intemperance,
"'lien everybody knows that the principal
®f local option, when applied to ail mat
ters of legislation and crime, and pressed
,0 its logical and equitable sequence,
snc i j n anarchy pure and simple.
Every man for hmlself and—”
Gne fact alone will forever answer its
claims. It deslroys the unit of legislation;
hence the unity of law, and destroys both
justice and equality. I remember
distinctly when the press fought
local option Just as It r.ow fights
Prohlblton, and every step of progress
'ha* temperance legislation has mode has
b'en In spite of newspaper opposition.
If the press is lending this county It
has nothing to boast of either in com
tfierce, politics or morality.
And the railroads? Yea, Sunday dese
cration finds a ringleader in them. Train
loads of old and young, white and black,
good, bad—all sores—dumped in the cities
and seaside resorts, open saloons, dance
houses, brothels, feeding and fattening on
them and creating streams of moral pol
lution, lobbying in the Legislatures, de
fying the law, robbing, corrupting, damn
ing the ignorant masses.
So tt is.
But I suppose that any free people too
ignorant and sordid to stop these things
deserve no better. "Experience is a dear
school, but fools will learn in no other.”
All aboard! and here we go—where?

THE COBURG SUCCESSION.
How the Dnke of Alltnny Becomes
the Duchies* Ruler.
Ex-Attache, in New York Tribune.
It was in the capacity of a music stand
that I first made the acquaintance of
Queen Victoria's second son, who has
just died so suddenly, as reigning Duke
of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha. He was on his
way back from St. Petersburg, where he
had Just become engaged to Czar Alex
ander ll's only daughter, Marie, and had
broken his journey for a few days at Vi
enna, taking up his quarters at the Brit
ish Embassy. Each night during his stay
there was a dinner party, and after each
dinner the Duke was asked to perform
on the violin, his accompanist being in
variably the lovely little Countess Don
hoff, who, after a sensational elopement
with her husband's secretairie d'Ambas
sade and a divorce, is now married to the
aforesaid secretary, at present Minister
of Foreign Affairs of the German Em
pire. I am sorry to say that the Em
bassy furniture did not comprise such a
thing as a music stand, and accordingly
Lady Buchanan amiably suggested that
as the joungest member of the party I
should act in that capacity. Accordingly
a chair was perched on a quantity of big
folios and footstools, and I was estab
lished in the chair, to hold the music book
in a slanting position toward the Duke.
My face appeared above the edge of the
book, and I was consequently compelled
to keep staring at the Duke, while every
time that he raised his eyes from the
notes he encountered my gaze. Perhaps
he derived inspiration therefrom. At any
rate, each evening that he was at the
Embassy he played from the moment
that dinner was over until the party broke
up, and he laid the tired violin to rest in
the ease, covered by the dainty sarin and
lace apron worked for him by his Im
perial fiancee. In that way the Duke be
came as familiar with my features as be
would with those of any other equally
artistic piece of furniture, while his hand
some face and magnificent eyes became
firmly impressed upon my memory. It
is only fair to add that the Duke before
he left Vienna presented to me a charm
ing souvenir in recognition, so he said,
of my "intelligent appreciation of music,”
and tha* this was the beginning of an ac
quaintance marked by many an act of
gracious kindness on his part.
It is owing to the fact that the Duke
of Connaught and his only son. Prince
Arthur, waived their rights of succession
to the throne of Saxe-Coburg that the
young Duke of Albany, son of Prince Leo
pold, who was the most delicate of all
Queen Victoria's children, now sucdeed<
as soverign duke of the two German
duchies in question. In order to under
stand how an English Prince, who is like
wise a British peer, comes to succeed to
the crown of one of the numerous inde
pendent states of Central Europe compris
ed in the federation known as the Ger
man Empire, it is necessary to recall the
fact that Queen Victoria's husband was
the younger of the two sons of Duke
nest I of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha. The"
elder of these two sons, Ernest 11, died
a few years ago without issue, his crown,
therefore, devolving on sons of his younger
brother, Albert, Consort of Queen Vic
toria. and who had preceded him. The
English constitution will not permit a for
eign crown to be held simultaneously with
that of Great Britain, and the constitu
tion of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha is likewise
opposed to a foreign ruler becoming sov
ereign of the two duchies. The heir ap
parent of* the British chown can be titu
lar sovereign of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha
until he ascends the throne of Great Bri
tain. but even in that case it Is stipulated
by the Coburg constitution that he should
appoint a viceroy or stadtholder to ad
minister the sovereignty of the duchy, it
being regarded as inadmissable that the
heir apparent to a foreign throne should
actually exercise the duties of rulership
Of the duchy.
In'order to avoid all these difficulties
the Prince of Wales some time before the
death of bis uncle. Duke Ernest of Saxe-
Coburg, waived his own rights and those
of his son and son’s sons to the throne
of Saxe-Coburg. His abandonment was
not absolute, but conditional. True, he
renounced his own rights and those of
his children, but only to the younger
brothers and to their male descendants.
In the event of their dying without issue,
or without ascending the throne of Co
burg and Gotha, the crown of these two
duchies does not pass to the other mem
bers of the house of Coburg, as has been
s*ated, but reverts to the Prince of
Wales, or rather to his son and grand
sons. Thus, if by any misfortune the new
Duke of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha—that is to
say, the Prince of Wales's nephew, now
a delicate lad of sixteen—were to die be
fore attaining his majority the Prince of
Wales would become ipse facto reigning
Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Go4ha, but as
heir apparent to the English crown would
be compelled to administer The sovereign
ty of the two duchies through a viceroy,
who might be his own son, the Duke of
York. The Duke of York would, how
ever, hove to give up the viceroyalty to
some other prince on his becoming the
Prince of Wales himself, while his father,
on becoming King of England, would be
obliged to surrender lo him the title of
Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, as well
as all the revenues of the duchy and the
vast estates which go with the crown.
A Kingdom Without u Court.
The entire affair is somewhat compli
cated, but it is necessary to bear it in
mind, inasmuch as difficulties in connec
tion with the Saxe-Coburg succession
have already and are likely to occur
again. The Coburgers entertain a vivid
remembrance of the fate of the people of
Hanover, who for more than eighty years
were left without even a glimpse of their
English ruler, who pocketed his revenues
as King of Hanover, but neither main
tained a court in the kingdom nor even
visited it. Neither George 111 of Eng
land, nor George IV, nor William IV.
ever took the trouble to run over to see
their kingdom of Hanover while on the
throne of England, and it was not until
Victoria became Queen of Great Britain
and her uncle Ernest, by virtue of the
Salic law in Hanover, became King of
Hanover, that the worthy Hanoverians
knew what it was to have a full-fledged
court. . . .
When the Prince of Males waived his
rights to the throne of Coburg and Gotha
he did so in favor of Ills second brother,
Alfred the sailor Duke of Edinburgh, who
oil the death of their Vncle Ernest, sue
reeded to the throne of Coburg end Gotha.
Duke Alfred had on only son hearing his
name, who died a few days after the cel
ebration of his parents' silver wedding.
The necessity of selecting an heir to the
ducal throne then became apparent, and
Duke Alfred's younger brother. Arthur,
Duke of Connaught, Queen Victoria's sol
dier son, as next in line, was gazetted ns
Crown Prince; but when the Duke of

Connaught discovered that it was expected
that h© should transfer his abode from
England to Germany and to 6ever his con

hopes one day to command in chief, and
when he found, moreover, that he would

have grown up to be one of the most im

A VISIT TO EMPRESS DOWAGER.
One W ho Wan Present Telln of the
Historic Event in the Chinese
Court.
Frank G. Carpenter, who is now In the
East, sends to the Saturday Evening Post
a long article about the Empress Dowager
and China, his facts having been gathered
only' a few days before the present trou
bles broke out. Two years ago the Em
press Dowager eet aside all precedents
and received the ladles of the foreign le
gations at Pekin. One who was present
told Mr. Carpenter about it. Among other
things she said:
“Her Majesty was dressed in a pale yel
low silk gown, beautifully embroidered
with flowers and dragons of the same
color. She wore the headdress commonly
worn by elderly Chinese women, her hair
being fastened in a knot at the back just
below the c'rown, the front of the head
and a part of the forehead being concealed
by a silk band heavily embroidered with
pearls of large size.
“I was struck with Her Majesty’s youth
ful appearance. She was 64. but she look
ed ten years . younger. Her face was
plump and free from wrinkles. She had
a high forehead, elongated perhaps by the
custom of the Chinese ladies of pulling out
the hair ot the edge of the
forehead with tweezers. She had
a strong face and in youth must
have been very' pretty'. During the audi
ence she frequently smiled, and I could
see no signs of that cruelty with which
she has been charged.
“Her Majesty made us welcome to the
palace and to China. She said she was
glad indeed to receive us as foreigners,
and that we should be friendly with one
another, for were we not ell of one fam
ily?
“The banquet was fine, being made up of
many courses and consisting of both Chi
nese and foreign dishes.
“After the banquet the Empress Dow
ager again met informally' with the ladies,
drinking tea with each of them in turn,
and in some cases throwing her arm about
one and embracing her.
“At this time she gave each lady a pres
ent of a beautiful gold ring set with a
pearl as big a© a marrowfat pea, three
silk dresses from the royal looms and a
set of two dozen combs. Throughout the
whole audience she w as exceptionally’ gra
cious, and her manners were as polite and
affable and at the same time as dignified
and ladylike as could be those of any Em
press of Europe.”
AGED LOVERS PART AT MORGUE.
Ilnslmnd Seeks Money to Reelnim
Wife From Potters* Field.
From the New’ York Journal.
With a look of patient sorrow on his
stern old face, Nicholas Ginsberg, once a
soldier of France, stood on the deck of
a boat which takes paupers to the alms
house and brings back their bodies to
the morgue, his hand resting softly and
lovingly on a rough pine trt>x in which
rested the remains of all that he held dear
—his wife.
“Yes; she is gone,” he said, tears in
his eyes. “I will soon follow her. I am
resigned. We morched shoulder to shoul
der for fifty years. You will not have to
wait long, comrade!”
It W'as the Franco-Prussian war which
drove Ginsberg and his wife from their
home end sent them to this country’,
though then well along In life. They were
French Alsatians. The man was a brave
soldier, but when peace was restored he
found that the map of Europe had been
juggled by the Prussians and that his
native land was a German possession. It
w'as too much for his pride. He emigrat
ed.
An iron moulder by trade, he found
work In this country, but they' cbuld save
nothing.
On April 21 they' had reached the end
of their resources. There was no money
for the rent. Starvation stared them in
the face. It was the seventy-fifth birth
day of each.
“Come,” said the old soldier, “let us go
to the poorhouse. We shall at least have
each other’s company.”
They found human hearts on Blackwell’s
Island, these old lovers. Every day they
were permitted to be together. It was
only at night that they were separated.
Last week the old woman was taken ill.
She died in her husband’s arms. The hos
pital authorities permitted him to watch
by the coffin all lost night, and when it
was brought to the city he was allowed
to come.
“I will go to my nephew, M. Hahn. In
East Seventh street,” said the old soldier,
“and will ask one final favor. He will
grant it, I know'. It Is that my Hannah
and I shall have decent burial, that he
will save her from the potter’s field.” And
bidding au revoir to the body at the
morgue, he trudged down, through the
rain, this soldier of France, to prefer his
last request.

ROY POINDKD DYNAMITE.
Never Knew What Happened, for He
Was Blovrn to Pieces.
From the New York Press.
Waterbury, Conn.. July 30.—Lying In a
sewer trench to-d3y was an innocent
looking stick of dynamite, left carelessly
by some workman. Joseph Phelan, 14
years old, a brother of John Phelan, the I
lawyer, came along idly and spied it.
He had no idea it was anything more
than it appeared to be—a harmless stick,
which wasn’t wood and apparently was
neither iron nor stone. It was just such
a looking object as was calculated to
arouse the curiosity of a small boy of an
inquiring turn of mind.
Joseph picked it up. weighed it in his
hand, turned it over and over and fell to
wondering. It wasn't a Roman candle.
He remembered his last Fourth of Julv
too well not to know that. Just what it i
was Joseph didn’t know, and he was
bound to find out if he didn’t get home
to supper.
He pulled out hie knife and tried to
whittle it, hut the stick was too hard
and it dulled the knife blade. He tried
n lighted match, buit the etick wouldn’t
burn.
He thought of putting it on the trolley
car tracks, but the nearest car line was
four blocks away, end he couldn’t wait
to walk that far. He looked around for
a big stone, and when he found one he
was happy.
He laid the dynamite on the big stone
and then with a smaller stone, he began
to pound it. At the first blow there wus
a terrific explosion. Windows were shel
tered three blocks nway. Men came run
ning, but all they saw’ at first wan great
rent in the pavement and stones end
earth scattered around.
Then they saw’ n boy’s hat with the
erow’n blown out. and finally a deep groan
called the crowd to a telegraph pole a
block away, where all that was left of
rhe small boy had been hurled by the ex
plosion.

the excessive rains our growers would
