WATER LIFTED BY AIR
FIRST COMPLETE TEST MADE AT
SPRINGFIELD WELL.
WATER JUMPS 125 FEET.
FLOW OF THE WELL INCREASED
TO GALLONS.
Test Will lie Repented To-U> lor
lie nr ft t of tlie Water Committee of
Council—Mr. Clarke Say* tlie Sup
ply Could He Doubled From tlie
Prraent Wells Superintendent
Kinsey Pleased With the Result.
The Removal of Sand and Other
Ohatruetlona From the Wells a
Good Thing in Itself.
The first complete test of the new
air lift plant installed at the Springfield
well for the purpose of demonstrating
the efficiency of this means of increas
ing the flow of water from the wells
at the waterworks was made yester
day morning. It was an entire success.
From a normal flow of 643,744 gal
lons a day the flow was increased by
the air lift to 1,210,464 gallons. In fact,
the actual increase was from 566,720
gallons a day, which has been the daily
flow of the Springfield well for some
time past. After the sand and other
obstructions had been forced out by the
air pressure the flow rose to its nor
mal of 643,744 gallons. This shows a
gain in the natural flow of 77,024 gal
lons simply from forcing out the ob
structions which had gathered in the
well. The gain in applying the air lift
is something immense, being more
than 100 per cent, as compared with
the former flow and nearly 100 per
cent, as compared with the normal
flow.
If the same gain could be obtained
by applying the air lift to all the wells
the city's supply of water could be
more than doubled. This is hardly to
b’ expected, however, as the generally
accepted theftry is that all the wells
obtain their supply from the same
source and the total amount of water
which is possib'ole to be obtained de
pends upon the area of this source,
which is of course unknown.
The test was witnessed by Superin
tendent I. U. Kinsey and others of the
water works department, and Mr. E. E.
Clarke, who is here representing the
Bacon Air Lift Company. It is expected
that the water committee of council
will go out this afternoon when the test
will be repeated for the benefit of the
members of the committee.
"The test only showed what I had
every reason to expect,” said Mr.
Clarke to a Morning News reporter. "I
have made a number of these tests and
installed several of our plants in this
section of the South, and I knew' ex
actly what to expect. The result was
very satisfactory, however, es
pecially in view of the
fact that our nlant is largely a
makeshift affair put together for tem
porary purposes. The complete plant
includes in connection with the air
chamber a separator by which all the
grease and other foreign substances
taken up in compressing the air is
thrown off and oniy the pure air is
forced into the wells. It w'as not con
sidered necessary to attach this for
the purpose of making the experiment.”
Mr. Clarke w r as not prepared to fur
nish any figures as to the cost of in
stalling an air lift plant for the Spring
field well or for the entire battery of
w'ells at the waterworks, preferring to
discuss such matters with the commit
tee after it had witnessed the test of
the Springfield well
"I will say this much," said Mr.
Clarke, "and that is that the supply of
■water from the present wells can be
very largely increased, almost doubled,
in fact, by the application of the air
lift. This will obviate the necessity of
digging any more wells and will fur
nish an ample supply of water for the
city's uses for years to come. Even
if more wells should be dug the air
lift w'ould ultimately have to be
brought into use, as all the wells, it is
presumed, tap the same water bed, and
must, therefore, to some extent draw
upon the same supply, and the amount
of pressure Ist necessarily diminished
with each well dug.
Superintendent Kinsey, when seen at
his home on Park avenue In the after
noon, said that he was very well
pleased indeed with the result of the
test. The increased flow had been re
markable and had fully demonstrated
the claims of the air lift people in this
respect. His figures as to the flow of
the well corroborated those of Mr.
Clarke, having been taken with the
current meter in use at the water
works department. The improvement
in the flow of the well after the ob
structions had been removed by the
air lift was especially commented upon
by Mr. Kinsey and he semed to think
that the use of the air lift for clean
ing out the wells alone would in itself
be an advantage. As to what recom
mendations he would make in the mat
ter of adding an air lift plant to the
works Mr. Kinsey was not prepared to
say.
Asked as to the present water supply
of the city Mr. Kinsey said:
“We have an average dally pumpnge
now of about 6,000,000 gallons, which
Is sufficient for all present purposes.
This seems to be ample for ordinary
uses and there have been no complaints
this summer that I am aware of of
lack of water supply. The Springfield
Well, as shown by the figures of Mr.
T. T. Johnson, the supervising engi
neer, when first sunk, yielded about
1.250,000 gallons dally. This decreased,
of course, as soon as the other wells
were dug, and the supply dropped down
to less than three-quarters of a mil
lion. Previous to the test Just made
It was only yielding 566,720 gallons
daily. It is now yielding 643,744 gal
lons, which is about normal.
"When the test was on at the Spring
field well,” said Mr. Kinsey, "I tested
some of the other wells with the cur
rent meter and found the flow at these
wells very slightly decreased by the
Increased flow at the Springfield well.
This Is Important as showing that a
considerable gain can be obtained by
the use of the air lift.”
The air lift is operated by a thirty
five horse power engine, stationed, with
the compressor, at the power house,
and connected with the Springfield well
by a line of pipe about 2,009 feet in
length. The diameter of the well Is 12
inches. An Inner pipe Is sunk In the
well. 8% Inches In diameter, to a
depth of 53 feet. The compressed air Is
forced between the sides of the two
sets of piping and forcing Its way un
der the Inner piping seeks the surface,
bringing the water with It. A pres
sure of 18 pounds to the Inch Is used.
The natural rise of the well Is about
three feet above the surface. When
the connection was first made with the
nir lift water was thrown to a hight
of 125 feet. After the sand and other
obstructions had been washed out the
flow was turned Into the wet well at
the waterworks.

FOR MURDER ON DAUFUSKIE.
Addison Lindsay Churned With Kill
ing Negro With u llriek.
Addison Lindsay, a negro who es
caped from the county chaingang in
October, 1599, was arrested yesterday
at Oemler's oyster factory on Wilming
ton Island, and is held at the county
jail on a charge of murder, committed
last Tuesday on Daufuskie Island. The
negro killed was Frank Demere, also
an escaped convict. The killing was
done with a rock.
Immediately after the homicide Lind
say left Daufuskie for the Wilmington
oyster factory, where he secured em
ployment, and remained until he was
taken In custody. He was greatly sur
prised at his arrest, but came to the
city without any trouble. At the jail
he was charged with being an escaped
convict, and also with the South Caro
lina murder. The prisoner was seen by
a representative of the Morning News
and talked freely of the killing and his
escape from the county authorities
here.
Lindsay says that he went fishing
with Demere, and another negro boy,
at Daufuskie last Monday, and that
they were in a sail boat. They were
skimming over the water when another
boat came up, and Demere was chal
lenged for a race. He accepted and the
fight for supremacy on the water was
begun. Demere's boat was in the lead,
but was not acting exactly right, and
he ordered the boy to pull up the cen
ter board, saying that the trouble was
at that point.
The boy did not have strength enough
to perform the task, and Demere told
Lindsay to pull the board up. Lindsay
says that he was busy making a ciga
rette at the time, and that when he
finished he forgot all about the center
board. Demere thought that it had
been pulled out of the water, and ex
pressed surprise when the challenger
passed him. Not only was he amazed
but he was angry as well at being
beaten.
In the meantime the boat ran on a
bar, and stuck, and Demere became
more enraged as the rival boat skip
ped lightly over the water and past
him. According to Lindsay, Demere
shouted to the victor that he would
not have won had it not been that he
had as assistants a pair of
the bar pushing the boat into the water
when Demere used the offensive lan
guage, and that he spoke to him about
it. Demere, he said, threatened to
knock him into the water with the
tiller stick, and he told him that he
would get no credit for it if he should
make good his threat.
The prisoner claims that Demere then
got his butcher knife, and stated that
he would use It when he went ashore.
He changed his mind, however, and
there was no more trouble when the
men left the boat. On Tuesday De
mere did not accompany Lindsay on
his fishing expedition, and the fisher
man and his other companion sold
what they had caught at Tybee. They
returned to Daufuskie, and with 'others,
became engaged in a game of ‘'flve-up”
on the.danving pavilion. The men were
playing for 5 cents a corner, and were
intent on the game when Demere came
up.
Lindsay says that his enemy of the
day before said something to him about
carrying away some man’s oars, and
that he denied it. Demere threatened
to wipe the ground up with him, and
Lindsay told him that he would find
much difficulty in executing his threat.
Lindsay says that Demere then drew
a knife and started for him and that
he backed away until he secured a
large rock. This he hurled at Demere
with much force, and that individual
fell to the floor with an ugly wound
on the side of his head. His assailant
did not know that the wound was a
mortal one, but left the island at once.
He says that he acted in self-defense,
and that he has no fear of going to
trial on the grave charge. Lindsay
was convicted of the larceny of a coat
and sentenced by Judge Norwood on
Sept. 1, 1899, to serve nine months on
the county chaingang. He says that
Demere was given twelve months for
the larceny of a turkey, and only serv
ed a short while when he escaped and
went to Daufuskie.
LAMPBLAC K WORKS BURNED.
Factory Near tlie Water Works To
tally Destroyed.
The Southern Lampblack Works,
west of the water works, burned be
tween 12 and 1 o’clock this morning.
Th>‘ firemen were notified by telephone
from the 1 mile post on the S. A. I.
and were ready to go out when a tele
phone message was received from the
water works that it would be useless
as the building could not be saved.
The factory is a large frame struc
ture a short distance beyond the water
works. It is owned by the Southern
Lampblack Company, of which C. E.
Broughton Is president and Mr. Prager
is secretary and treasurer. The origin
of the lire could not be learned. While
the loss Is not large It Involves the
destruction of the entire plant.
TURNED TIIE SWITCH.
Narrow Escape of Central Train
From u Wreek.
Train No. 2, Conductor Beach, on the
Central of Georgia, ran Into an open
switch at Lewiston, a station between
Macon and Gordon, yesterday, and just
missed a smash up by the prompt ac
tlon of Engineer Catherwood.
The train was going at regular speed
when it flew on to the siding on whlcn
there was a box car, but prompt set
ting of the brakes stopped it within a
car’s length of the danger. No damage
was done other than giving all on
board the train a sudden shaking up.
It was found that someone had
broken the lock and turned the switch.
Such acts of villainy are rare on the
Central, and every effort will be made
to arrest the train wrecker.
LECTURED IN NEW YORK.

THE MORNING NEWS: MONDAY, AUGUST 5, 1901,
STUBBS MAY PULL IN
IS CONSIDERING ENTERING THE
RACE FOB ORDINARY.
WILL BE EIGHTH CANDIDATE.
ills ENTRY WOULD CHANGE THE
SITUATION CONSIDERABLY.
Would He n Party to the Primary
and Would llnve n Large Support
From the Church Element—All ot
tlie Candidates Will Get Down to
Business This Week—How Some ol
Them Stand.
W. B. Stubbs, Esq., Is still a prob
able factor to be considered by the
politicians in-making their calculations
as to whom will fall the prize in the
coming primary. Mr. Stubbs has un
der consideration ttj advisability of
entering the field. In the event that
he does he will, of course, be a party
to the primary.
In discussing the ordinaryshlp Mr.
Stubbs said that he had not yet made
up his mind as to what course he
would pursue. A number of friends
have spoken to him but to none had he
given a decisive answer. Assurances
of support had come unsolicited and
it was but natural that he should give
the question some thought. Inasmuch
as the primary will not be for some
weeks Mr. Stubbs evidently did not
think that precipitate action was re
quired.
If Mr. Stubbs should enter the race
the situation might be considerably
changed. The friends of other candi
dates acknowledge that he would prob
ably receive the support of a large part
of what is known as the church ele
ment, the vote that in the past has
largely been an uncertain quantity, di
vided between the two local factions,
but which the more astute politicians
now regard as somewhat solidified
through the Jones meetings and the law
and order agitation. It is down in their
calculations that this vote will be
larger this year than in the past, and
that it will be more subject to what
may be termed moral influences. While
there is no saying positively that Mr.
Stubbs would secure all of this vote
it is regarded as reasonable that he
would be looked on with favor by con
siderable of it. He has never been iden
tified actively with either faction in
local politics and this, it is held by his
friends, would strengthen him before
the general public.
It is probable that during the coming
week there will be caucuses of the ac
tive working friends of all the candi
dates. Mr. Collins has had a couple of
such meetings and another, it is gos
siped, is scheduled for the De Soto
some night soon. Mr. W. P. Bailey's
friends are also talking of a meeting to
discuss campaign measures.
Capt. McAlpin’s canvass is well un
der way and it is apparent that the
other candidates will lose no time in
consolidating their strength and bring
ing every influence possible to bear on
Yhe doubtful voters who are numerous
enough as yet to have the election in
their own hands if they were to unite
in favor of some dark horse.
RESCUED DRIFTING LAUNCH.
Yawl From Revenue Cutter IMeked
Up Pleasure Seekers.
A couple—a young man and woman—
had an experience Saturday night in
one of the naphtha launches rented at
Thunderbolt, that they do not care to
go through again, although it did not
end seriously. It was a beautiful moon
light night, and the couple decided
that a trip on the placid waters would
be the proper caper.
A small launch was secured, and
along with it went a small boy, who
was supposed to do the operating. As
it afterwards turned out this was only
a supposition, and the youngster did
not display a great deal of knowledge
on the theory of running a "naphtha.”
When the boat put out from the Casino
dock a strong tide W'as running down
the river, and the craft started in that
direction. It was in mid-stream, and
going rapidly towards the Savannah
Yacht Club when an awful discovery
was made.
There was no naphtha in the tank,
or at least that is the reason the boy
gave for the queer manner in which
the boat puffed, and went in the oppo
site direction. The young lady did4iot
scream or even faint, but she felt al
most as restless as her escort, who be
gan to wonder what would happen
next. If the tide had been running in
the opposite direction they might have
been carried out to sea, if they went
far enough, and the boy in the boat
reminded them that there was some
thing to be thankful for.
It wasn't a whole lot to the couple,
but it did make some sort of mark on
them and their faces brightened. They
had no desire to desert home and moth
er, or either to spend the night drift
ing in an aimless sort of way, in the
meanwhile furnishing food, not for re
flection, but for horrid mosquitoes and
sand-flies.
The revenue cutter was anchored in
mid-stream and was their only haven.
The boy managed to steer the launch
in the direction of the big government
boat, and drifted by her side. The
young man grabbed hold of the steam
er's anchor chain and held on, at the
same time calling to the sentry pacing
the deck. The officer in command was
told of what had happened, and the
disabled naphtha wa? towed to the Ca
sino dock by a yawl from the cutter.
The couple found it much pleasanter
"listening to the band" at the Casino
during the remainder of the evening.
KLIM FLAMMED HIS EMPLOYER.
Negro Red Hot Vendor Cliarued Willi
Larceny After Trust.
John Creddick, colored, was arrested
yesterday by Patrolman Best, and is
held at the police station on a charge
of larceny after trust from Joseph A.
Stover, also colored. A warrant was
recently sworn out In Justnce Wick
ham’s court for the arrest of the man,
but he managed to successfully elude
the constables. He was seen on East
Broad and Liberty streets by Stover
who called on the patrolman to make
the arrest.
It is charged that Stover gave Cred
dick money to take out a license to
run a "red hot” wagon, and that Cred
dick secured the license in his own
name. He looked after affairs for sev
eral days and then rowed with Stover,
who fired him, and demanded the li
cense. Creddick skipped out with the
license, and inquiry at the City Ex
change developed the fact that he had
taken it out in his own name, in place
of the man who really casned the mov
ing cheap restaurant. The prisoner will
lie given a preliminary examination by
Recorder Myrick In Police Court this
morning.

FAIR GROUND ROUTE.
Trolley Cara Rnnniiig to Thunder
bolt Over the Old Collins Line Now.
The old Collins trolley line from Sa
vannah to Thunderbolt, the Savannah
and Isle of Hope Railway, has been put
In first class condition, and an after
noon and morfilng schedule is being
run by the Savannah, Thunderbolt and
Isle of Hope Railway Company. Two
cars are run in the morning and the
same number In the afternoon, and the
slow schedule will be kept up until
the roadbed has been thoroughly bal
lasted, and put in proper shape.
When the line was purchased some
nine months ago by Mr. J. S. Collins
it was stipulated that the roadbed
should be re-built, and cars put in
operation by Aug. 15, 1901. This part of
the contract had to be carried out by
the Savannah, Thunderbolt and Isle of
Hope Company when the property was
taken charge of, and accounts for the
fact that Thunderbolt can be reached
by two trolley routes.
When the labor trouble began several
weeks ago General Manager Mclntire
remembered what was required of the
company under its contract, and began
at once to have the line equipped and
ready for use. In many places new rail
was laid, and crossties were put down,
poles were erected and wire was strung.
The work was pushed rapidly and has
been completed some time before the
date agreed upon.
The Collins line passes through land
owned by the Merchants and Me
chanics Company, and for this reason
that company forced the purchasers to
agree to repair and operate the line.
The route goes by the Fair grounds on
Dale avenue, and, too, passes the old
Wheelman's Park. While this place
has practicaly gone to wreck it can be
repaired, and the track may be put in
condition in time for racing next sea
son. The bicycle track and bicycle
racing in Savannah died with the Col
lins line, and now that it has been put
back in use something may be done by
the wheelmen.
General Manager Mclntire is still ill
but was out for a while yesterday. He
will take active charge again this
morning, however, and will this week
put on regular cars to the fair grounds
on Dale avenue. The line has already
been built, and during the past week
cars were run for the accommodation
of persons employed at the grounds.
The company hauled on an average of
200 workmen a day, and a car was run
in the morning, and another in the
late afternoon.
Mr. Mclntire intends to put on a
thirty-minute schedule for the present,
and the cars will he run from the City
Market, passing through Collinsvile,
and south on Waters road. There are
many who have desired to visit the
Fair grounds who will now have an
opportunity to do so with a regular
schedule in operation. The cars will
be marked "Fair Grounds.”
THOUGHT THENf REFORMERS.
A Crowd Mobbed Three Men Who
Wanted Reer.
A free-for-all scrapping and running
match took place about 11 o'clock last
night on Indian street, In the neighbor
hood of Farm. Three white men went
into a barroom, the name or exact lo
cation of which they afterward refused
to give, and after chatting awhile with
some of the loungers, asked where a
glass of beer could be had. They were
asked whether they were Savannahians
or not. They said ttyat they were and
again began asking questions about the
possibility of getting a drink
Little information was given them
and they finally started away, but
somehow or other left the impression
that they were members of the Good
Government League looking for infor
mation against Sunday violators. Four
of the men they had been talking with
followed them with the intention of
proving to them that the vicinity was
a particularly unhealthy one for re
formers. They succeeded pretty well,
for they broke the nose of one of the
men who wanted beer, gave him sev
eral other bruises equally painful,
though less conspicuous, knocked off
and trampled his hat and convinced
him thoroughly that he was up against
it and that "it” wasn't pleasant.
The other members of the party took
to their heels. When the battered one
finally got away from the gang he
hustled for West Broad street and
civilization, managing to find one of
his companions on the way there. He
went to the drug store of Mr. R. J.
Dukes where he told his story and had
his nose dressed. He refused to give
his name or enter complaint with the
police, and most flatly refused to go
back for his hat. The third member of
the party seems to have been lost in
the shuffle for neither of his friends
had any idea of where to look for him
and he had not showed up when the
others started for home.
AT THE RESORTS.
T> bee and tlie Casino Caught the
Crowd* During the Dny.
Yesterday was a big one at the re
sorts, and large numbers enjoyed the
surf at Tybee. The day was a splendid
one, although for a short while in the
afternoon it looked as if there was go
ing to be a thunderstorm. Clouds be
gan to gather in the west, and the
more timid thought of DeVoe, the re
markable weather prophet, and return
ed to the city.
The Casino at Thunderbolt was visit
ed by many, and the usual Sunday
concert was given. There was some
little trouble in getting the cars back
to the city, or rather in handling the
crowds. Just before dark the capacity
of every car coming to the city was
taxed to Its utmost. The railway com
pany's resort is popular with those
who delight in a short and clean ride.
A pleasant vaudeville show is prom
ised to the patrons of the Casino this
week, and the regulcar afternoon and
night performances will be given,
starting this evening. The bill Includes
Swan and Coleman, novelty acrobatic
and grotesque comedians: Henrietta
Dreyer. high class descriptive vocalist:
Murphy and Palmer, singing and danc
ing comedians and Fred Cohn, who is
paid to make the people laugh.
SUICIDE (il l'll BURIED.
Ill* Remain* Interred In Laurel
Grove by itoynl Arennuni.
Otto Otith. the Augusta tailor, who
committed suicide by asphyxiation,
early Saturday morning, in the Grand
Centrnl Hotel, an account of which was
given in the Morning News, was buried
yesterday morning in Laurel Grove
Cemetery. The funeral services were
conducted by Rev. W. C. Schaffer, pas
tor of the Lutheran Church of the As
cension.
Members of the local order of the
Royal Arcanum attended the funeral
and the burial was in the lot of the
order. Undertaker Goette reeplved in
structions in the morning from the lo
cal order to have the funeral of Guth
at 9 o'clock, and the man was burled
a* the expense of the society of which
he had been a member. News of Guth's
tragic death was cabled from Augusta
to Mrs. Guth In Germany, and she will
probably come to this country at once.
CONSTANCE FIRST IN
IN THE SECOND OF RACES OVER
THUNDERBOLT COURSE.
META W. HAS FILED PROTEST.
CLAIMS SHE WAS FOWLED AFTER
ROUNDING THE STAKE BOAT.
Cnpt. Westcott Say* Constance, In
Effort In Blanket Meta W\, Jabbed
Her Room In Meta W.'s Jib Stay.
M*4 L. AV. Nelson, Judge of Race,
Will Hold a Meeting to Settle
Question the Early Part of This
Week—Another Race to Be Sailed
Sunday—First Race Won by the
Constnnce.
The Constance came In ahead of the
Meta W. again yesterday in the race
between the two yachts, sailed over the
course from the Thunderbolt Casino to
Turner’s Rocks and back, but the race
was not awarded to her, as Capt.
Westcott of the Meta W. filed charges
with Mr. L. W. Nelson, judge of the
race, that his boat was fouled at the
stake boat at Turner’s Rocks by the
Constance, and that It was because of
this that he lost.
Mr. Nelson has called a meeting of
the parties interested for some night
in the early part of this week and the
matter will then be decided, and the
race awarded.
The start, finish and time of the
yachts was as follows:
Start. Finish. Time.
Constance ...4:35:42 5:44:09 1:08:27
Meta W 4:35:49 5:46:39 1:10:50
The start was a beautiful one, the
Constance getting across the line only
seven seconds ahead of her rival. All
down the river they stuck pretty close
together, though the Meta W. gained
enough to enable her to get around the
stake boat first. It was just after she
rounded that occurred the incident
upon which Capt. Westcott bases his
protest against awarding the Constance
the race. In his note to Mr. Nelson he
says that the Meta W. rounded the
stake boat at Turner’s Rocks first, and
that as the Constance came around, in
trying to blanket the Meta W„ her
boom came in contact with the jib stay
of the Meta W., fouling her and caus
ing a delay that was of vital import
ance to the winning of the race. Capt.
Laird of the Constance has not yet
made known his side of the question.
The Constance was manned by Capt.
T. H. Laird, Jr., Thomas Cleary, John
Duffy, Charles O’Neill and James
Brown, and the Meta W. by Capt.
Charles W. Westcott, Thomas Reynolds
and Ed. O’Connor.
The race was the second of a series
of five, of which the winner of three
will receive the cup, presented by a
lover of the sport, and which will be
come the property of the boat winning
it, without any further contest in its
defense. This cup is now on exhibition
at Messrs. Sternberg & Co.’s.
The first race was sailed July 28,
and was won by the Constance, which
beat the Meta W. one minute and
thirty-two seconds. Another race will
be sailed Sunday. There is a great
deal of interest shown in these racds,
and quite a large crowd was gathered
at the Casino yesterday to see the start
and finish, while many persons accom
panied the yachts over the course in
other yachts and naphthas.
READY FOR THE BOUT.
Hilly and Bennett Pat Finishing
Touches to Their Training.
Jack Daly and Jack Bennett, who will
meet in a 25-round bout at the The
ater to-night, finished up their heavy
training work yesterday and will take
things easy to-day until they meet in
the ring. Bennett's last work was a
“go” with Tommy Corcoran. with
which the many spectators that had
gathered at his training quarters were
delighted.
The preliminary, between Tommy
Feltz and Kid Davis will begin prompt
ly at 9 o’clock, and the main event of
the evening will be begun as soon as
this has been finished. Owen Zeigler
will be the referee of both affairs. The
principals in the main bout will be
looked after, Daly, by Feltz and A1 Mc-
Murray, and Bennett by Frank Hart
and Tommy Corcoran. A great deal of
interest is being shown in this bout,
and there is no doubt that it will be
witnessed by an unusually large num
ber of spectators.
A HUGUENOT FESTIVAL.
Rev. J. Kmi 1 7 <l* Orlol May Give One
in Savannah This Fall.
A letter received In Savannah from
Rev. J. Knatz d’Oriol, whose visit to
Savannah about a year ago in behalf
of the evangelical work of the Hugue
nots of France will be remembered by
many, states that he is now in Rich
mond, where he proposes organizing
this fall an entertainment on the order
of a Huguenot festival, consisting of
tableaux, illustrating some of the im
portant events in the history of the
Huguenots, together with a lecture on
the history and sufferings of these peo
ple. The lecture will be supplemented
with stereopticon views. In addition,
it is proposed to have a large chorus
of young ladies sing of the most popu
lar Psalms of the Huguenots.
Mr. d’Oriol believes that the social
feature of this plan will prove popu
lar and attractive, and would serve to
bring into prominence his work in be
half of the Huguenot church. Should
the phew prove successful in Richmond
he proposes giving a similar entertain
ment in Charleston, and should suf
ficient encouragement be offered here
the entertainment will be repeated at
Savannah.
Mr. d’Oriol Is an accomplished and
talented gentleman, well versed in the
history and literature of his country,
as well as in that of his faith and an
entertainment of the kind proposed un
der his management would doubtless
be a very successful affair.

“A SECRET”
Of the drug business '■'NTTBrws
Is that prescriptions are by

Now some drug stores put up
Very few prescriptions; and in order to

Business and not sell a single patent
