The Indications for tl.orgta belay are
for fair weather, with Increasing cloudi
ness and rain on the •oast, fair In the
Interior. lieeh norihwestetly winds; and
for Eastern Florida generally fair
waathar, except rains on the aeacoasl;
fresh not Ih-osterly winds.
Campaign roorbacha are now ripe, and a
whole shower of them may he expectel
to deartmd upon the devoted heads of tbe
populace thla week.
By consent dating the two military divi
sions of Cuha Into one division juM at
this time, the administration la abla to
point to the act aa being In line with the
policy of turning Cuba over to the Cu
bans at an early dale. Tho American
national election 1* to he held next week.
Georgia show* up well In the reneua
figures. An Increase of (marly 379.del In
population ought to be autlUienS to give
the state another congreaaman under
the m w apportionment Mil. If the bad*
of representation were to remain what It
is now, Georgia would be entitled to two
new congressmen, but the basts will be In
creased.
An odd alrlke la on at Crtpp!* Creek,
Col. Mins owners allege that they have
lost several Ihousatsd doiiars' worth of
ore weekly of late through thetl. In or
der to shut off the Icakrfga a rule has
been made that miner* must be searched
on leaving ihe. mines The men object tp
undergoing Ihe proposed dally humiliation,
and hove gone on strike against the or

What doew civilization amount to. after
all! lor don I* the. greatest city of the
world, the seat of the greatest empire of
tha world, a center of learning, wealth
and ctvlllxallon- Nevertheless there were
enacted on the street* of Eoudon ihe o'tier
day, upon the occasion of the return of
troops from South Africa, such scenes as
might have eharactarlzcd a oavage orgy
In tho dark ages.
Tbe Rev. C. M Sheldon object* to Sun
day travel by ouh or trolley. East Sunday
he had engagementa In both Brooklyn nml
Manhattan and covered the distance be
tween them afoot. Not only did he tire
htmsett out and arrive footsore, bul kept
his congregation watting impatiently for
some lime. It Is doubtful If Mr. Sheldon's
scruples against Sunday irtifltc wilt be so
stringently adhered to the next time he
has two widely separated appointments
tn New York for the same day.

X IMIVi Till-; ATHKKTI.
The propoaitlon to change the name* of
the rtreels south of Andenaut street comes
th#* OHy Council to-night In the
r*>rm of an ordSMUirs, and It is to be hoped
that (1m onhname will )>e adoptsd. Xt Is
ir.*. ly n !*Miry to give the many good
reasons why the nam*a of these at recta
>nould be oh inged. They must Im appur
rt to every one who has given the mat
ter < onffthleTMtlon.
First, counting from R.y street. I* the
thlriy-flnit street of the city, and It
should bo no railed The next street south
of it should Ih* i sliel Thlrty-secomt sreW.
and so on. First street, or rather First
avenue, which Is its pro|* r name, waa ao
oalUd because *t was th first street out
side of the *'ity limits. There Is rvn rea
son for *'a IMIt First street now. how
ever (i|iprßprittro the name might have
been when th*- street was In th© suburbs,
and this reason holds good with most of
ihe other streets, the names of which it
Is proposed to change.
Obj ton ha* b* en muds to changing
Ihe nano's of certain short streets to con
firm to the* n.im*M of tho*© streets of
whloh they are th© connections or contin
uations. For Instance, It U pro|*osed to
muk© "Grapevine Avenue" a part of
Third street, or Thlrty-thlr*l street, as it
will |e If the ordinance should be pused.
How ninny people are there In this city
u ho could find "Grapevine avenue?" Hut if
it were made a part of Thirty-third street
It couHl tie found ejudly by any one having
sufficient Intelligence to g#* about ulone.
Then wo have those saintly ntmed thor
ougbfares. Ht. Nicholas. Hi. John. Si.
Thomas and others; also J.imes Otlllot,
(’hurcb. Wilder, Harsh, lira ly. Willow
am! others of like character. If they
are mad© a part of well-known thorough
fart* they w.U n* longer be mysteries In
the geography of Savannah, t’nder their
preaent names it la doubtful If the city
fathers could And them on the map of
th© city even If they should give an en
tire night te-sston of th© Council to tho
b**k.
‘Another objection presented la that th©
h nge In th‘ iuuwh of th© streets will
affect th© house numbering; that it will
affect th© "system "of giving ©very block
a hundred number*. This objection is
without force. Inasmuch as all of the
bio ks arc not given a hundred ra h Al
though there urv thirty streets between
Hay and Anderson street■ there are only
l.A> numleri. However, be that a* It
may. It will b© b©tter to hav© the houst#
numbering kick iMilformlty than that th©
Mreota should have names that are mis
leading.

JOHN gftKR MAN'S PORT TUB.
John Bhernum was kiorn |K-or and *li©*l
1 rich. Mb* will, fil'd for probata In Mans*
| held. 0., a few <U>a ago, dlstrlbulea a
j f >rtun© of aiHFroilmutely (S>.ou.. Ha did
' ru>t Inherit any part of thl* grant fortune.
I hut accumulated it himfOif. There have
! from tlm© to time bean unkind Inskiua-
I tlons touching the ©Rirr© of Mr Bh©r
| man’s wealth, and th© filing of the will
has tended to revive such Insinuation*
i and various •■••mm* ts A common way
jof stating tho ease, hy critics, Is this;
"John Ktirrn.in was t public office-holder
' th© greater purl of his life, on a salary of
! |s.tjno to 9k,Qoi> n year; hfw couM a man
j possibly accumulate a fortune of |3,(k)n.ofto
lon such an Income?" And th conclu
sion always reached Is that h© couldn't
*k> It. and that Mr. Hherman must h ive
mad© u*‘ of his official position to ad
vance his private fortune*.
Most m©n who hv© mad© a financial
success In llf are assailed hy Just such
criticisms. There Is a very large - !ass
of persona who, larking the ability to ac
cumulate money, look upen those who do
it ar.*l nutk*- use. of it a* t©inß
necessarily dishonest. They de Ight to
1 hug th© a- luslon to their hr© i-te that the
sp*iti of human Uf*- Is too short for the
honest acquisition of a mlliksi doddr*.
Th© foundation of John Hharman's for
tune !;>}•> ir* to have b*-#n laid by hh
own h.in*l< In his youth. Kctng • poor hoy.
he early lnrn©d the value of a dollar,
nnd how to tuk© * are of one wh* n It
came Into his poae*-dtn. Even as a
lorefoo(ed lad he was a worker arul n
saver. Ona of hi© early trails was his
persistant*©, and l>efore h© was twenty
years oil he was known as on© of the
nust suoceaafu! <olector* of hills from
"poor pay" debtors in tho stute. Ho was
employe*! by merchants and others to
collect for them, arul h© ©el lom returned
, from a visit to q debtor without the
i money. By close application to business
and th© piactir * of frugality, he liad ac
umul.it*d 110.000 when hu was twenty
■ four years old. A jurt of thU money
( want Into a sash hiul Uinds factory,
which was very prosperous, and other
l*arts of It into other budding mmi far lur
ing enterprises. Thus before Mr. Mherman
entered t'ongresa he had b* gun building
i his fortune. As hls early Investment*
j paid htm dividends, he Invested In real
| estate In the then small city of Ctndn
! natl, nnd lAier In real estate In Washing
ton. ’i*tiere real ©stsM*- transaclions prob
ably gave him the greater port of hls
fortune, since he bought wh*n the lands
were very chip and sold when they wer*
very high, owing to the growth of the
elite*.
It has been generally supposed that
Mr Sherman bought government bond*
largely during the refunding period; but,
if so, ac -ordlng to the Washington < orr**-
spomlent of th© N©w York Kv* rung *oet,
who has made diligent search
the matter, there are no r**ords In the
Treasury Department to Indicate it. an*l
the auhordlntfta officers who served under
his secretaryship are generally of th©
opinion that he made no such purchases
at that tlm* . and hi* lose friends are
positive In ihelr ns*riim that he i\*vcr
mode anything through spv<ulat|on in the
ordinary *-n*e. Mr Hhcrman's red ©r
-1 tate and other transactions nfp*.*r to
have been always of the ’lucky *' order
lie bought land in n suburb of Ctncln.
tati for a few dollars an acre, and sold
| It at dollar* per foot, he did th© earn©
*ort of thing in Washington, in Mansfield,
and prolMhiy elsewhere, and own*| intrr
©sts in various m.mufacturtng enterprise**.
It Is not difficult to understand, therefore,
that hi* fortune might easily have grown
to its g* n©rou proportion* without one
dishonettl dollar going Info it.

Th© St. Petersburg correspondent of the

resistance Is made to the Russian an
nexation of the province. Hera is a por
tion of it:
"A month ago you committed the Inso

chensk rand th© Russian inhabitants, for
getting how terribly strong is th© great
Russian (*xar in land, people and guns.
"For that you have been severely pun
ished.

habitants of which dur.-l to fall upon th©
Rusemiis. have b-©n hurixd.
"Your troops ar© destroyed and the wa
ler of the Amur Is polluted by masses of
du*l bodies of Manchus.
"The Russians will aoon enter all your

"Do not fire upon us or cause harm to

jun © Russian.
"Hls village or town shall b© burned to

left a.ive.
"Turn a deaf ear lo evil counselors who

Rabbit nnd 4 at (’himimy.
Dogs and cats have been knewn to he- I
com© fast friends, but for a cat *n*l a
rabbit to become inseparable compan- :
ion* is out of th© ordinary, says th© Den
ver Republican. R. H. Jones of 130 Archer
street has n rabbit and a cat which are
boon companions.
The rabbit belonged to ii neighbor of
Jonea One day It etrayed into the Jon©*
yard and got acquainted with th© cat
The admiration was mutual They became
ih© b*t of friends, and from th© minute
the rabbit met the cirt it has not been
to Its own home. For more than a ye3r
th© two have been together, eatmg from
the eamra dlth and sleeping together In
© box in th© rear of tha yard The rat
will not play with 9ther cat#, hut mok •§
a companion only of the rabbit They
romp about the yard toaether and now
and then tha cat will climb © tree
Tha doga of tha neighborhood have
barred to keep out of th© Jones yard
For wna to com© into the yard and ap- ■
pmach the rabbit Is ranine suicide Th * I
cat bristles up at onre and makes It r 0 j
interesting for <h© lntrudrr that h© is
always glad to gcaia tha fence aud get
