Newspaper Page TextFROM WATER FRONT >i;W SCHOOXERS BEING ADDED TO THE COASTWISE FLEET. engaging in lumber trade. OXE NEW VESSEL HERE AND AN OTHER BOIND FROM MAINE. Ihe Economy in Operating the Schooner Make* It the Moot For midable Freight Competitor in the World—Schooner Savannah Large. I* Owned by President Parson* ot the Street Railway—Matters of In terest to Shippers and Mariners. Judging front the number of new schooners being turned out of Ameri can shipyards at present those engag ed in sail transportation do not antici pate the early decline of this craft in the shipping world. One of the recent ly built schooners, the Savannah, is now in port, and another the Frances Tunnel, a vessel of 1,239 tons regis try, has sailed for Savannah from Mill lnidge, Me. The tendency of late years lias been to build the schooner larger, •Hid the successful experiments which have been made in this direction war rant the belief that this craft admits of many improvements by designers. The many vicissitudes of the schooner in competing with other craft on the seas, and its superiority over all in point of cost of operation,have placed it in the front rank of the world's sailing vessels. When It becomes necessary to cut rates to meet competition the schooner can do it with less loss than any other craft. It is therefore improb able that It is ever to be driven from the seas. On the contrary the fact that new vessels along improved lines are being added yearly to the present large coastwise fleet shows the confidence owners feel in this class of vessels. The launch Roamer, at the foot of Barnard street, will probably be in port several days. The Roamers, a New York family who own the vessel, and who visit the South every fall In her, will spend a few days rambling about the city. A Pensacola dispatch says that while loading the British steamship Cayo Largo with cotton for Bremen, one of the workmen discovered secreted in one of the bales seven large cannon crackers and a lot of sulphur matches, which the police think were placed therein for the purpose of burning both ship and cargo. The ship was being loaded with 16,000 bales. The fireworks were brought here bn the steamship Winifred on her late trip from New York The schooner Savannah, mention of which was made in yesterday's Morn ing News, is principally owned by President. George Parsons of the Sa vannah, Thunderbolt and Isle of Hope Railway. This doubtless accounts largely for naming the vessel for this city. Miss Parsons, daughter of the owner, Christened the Savannah. Sat' to’.ncye freights do not improve. For tpn.vige to the West Indies there is a moderate inquiry. Coasting lumber rates about steady, though the de mand improves very slowly. Coal rates from outside ports to the East are well sustained at the recent ad vance. Passengers by Steamships.

Cotton Firmer—Stocks Active and Irregular—Grain and Provisions Mostly Higher. Cotton was moderately active with prices fluctuating considerably over a rather limited range. The tone was quite uncertain during the first half of the week, but later it became firm er, and January rose from 7.50 c on Wednesday to 7.70 con Friday. A slightly easier tone ruled on Saturday, January closing at 7.63 c, a net ad vance for the week of 10 points. The main causes of the better feel ing were somewhat improved trade re ports from Europe, and the light move ment in the Southwest, creating a dis position to discredit recent extrava gant crop estimates. The amount coming into sight was about 50,000 bales more than last year, about 30,001 bales more than year before last, and about 120,000 bales less than in 1898. The total to date is about 1,000,000 bales behind 1898. The bureau report due on Dec. 3, causes some apprehensions among the bears, although they profess to be lieve that it has been largely discount ed. Most people seem to think it will point tc 10,500,000 to 10,750,000 bales, but It is difficult to see how It can indicate much if any over 10,000,000. There is nothing in either crop reports or the movement to warrant anything of the kind. Stocks were active and irregular, with a prevailing tendency toward higher prices. In fact, many important railroad stocks succeeded in passing all former records, among them Manhat tan, Lake Shore, New Jersey Central, New York Central, Reading, and Nor folk and Western. While railroads were generally strong, some of the Indus trials were quite weak, notably Amal gamated Copper, which fell 5 points, mostly on Saturday. Sugar lost an ear ly advance of some 4 points. Iron and Steel stocks were firm, with a gain of about 2 points in Tennessee Coal. Peo ple’s Gas fell over 6 points on local dif ficulties. There were no signs of money stringency although gold exports con tinued heavy. Despite the outflow of gold, the weekly bank statement was favorable, but of course such an ano maly cannot continue indefinitely. Some little hesitation on the part of the big roads in the great combination arose from the antagonistic attitude of he executives of several Northwestern states. It is not thought, however, that this will amount to anything serious. Upon the whole, considering the uncer tain prospects in the money market, the stock list now shows many points of dangerous inflation. Grain markets were fairly active with late Very decided strength In corn and bats. Corn advanced lc to l%c, and oats 2 to 3c. Wheat closed about unchanged at 76c for May, the market still holding back under press ure of bearish statistics. However, the relative cheapness of wheat is becom ing more and more pronounced, and when speculation gets fairly in, pres ent stocks, large or small, will cut very little figure. Wheat looks a reasonably safe purchase on all declines. Provisions were strong, but unset tled. May pork rose 85c to sl6. fell back to $15.47(4, and closed at $15.77(4. Hog receipts are large, but due to scarcity of feed, as shown by the light weights. Higher prices are expected for provis ions. Wm. T. Williams. Manchester Market. Manchester, England, Nov. 24.—After Its previous Improvements the market during the last week continued to be strong. The demand for cloth contin ued and the turnover attained satis factory dimensions, although buyers as a rule were only willing to proceed at recent rates. Sellers, however, have been latterly able to obtain prices which were unavailable at the begin ning of the week. The demands for the China trade principally ran to various classes of shirtings and the Immediate demand Is now largely satisfied. The time required for delivery Is becoming an obstacle to free selling. There has been more inquiry from Calcutta, and several lines of goods were negotiated. These were chiefly riMANCIAL. JOHN W.

The Finnncinl Outlook an Seen From Wall Street. New York. Nov. 23.—The first part of the week the stock market was somewhat of an enigma; strong in spots where backed by powerful ma nipulation, and inclined to sag where support was not forthcoming, but to wards the end of the week increased activity and considerable strength were infused into the entire market, pro ducing advanced prices generally. The stocks which showed well-explained strength were the coalers; these ad vancing on the undoubted profitable ness of the coal trade under present conditions. Of these there was good inside buying and a visible increase of outside interests; but in other di rections the market was largely pro fessonal and the public displays a very commendable degree of caution in mak ing its purchases. At present the mar ket is being advanced upon two main factors; great general prosperity and high concentration of holdings. Gold exports had surprisingly small effect. This was because we are in ex cellent position for sparing the pre cious metal. On Nov. 1 the stock of monetary gold in the country was about $1,170,000,000. This supply is being constantly augmented by home produc tion and receipts on the Pacific coast; so the exit of a few millions to Europe need cause no concern, especially as it will afford relief In Europe where most needed. A fresh element in the market is the position of the new $400,000,000 North ern Securities Company. This project seems destined to meet with active op position from some of the fifteen states through which the component compan ies run. While it appears to have es caped legal objections, It is considered by some authorities as opposed to the extent of the law, and Is sure to awak en hostility In parts of the West, where huge combinations are not so readily accepted or understood as here. The plan also contains elements of weak ness In Its financial structure, which must come to the surface when earn ing power meets the test of trade re action. Very shortly Congress will open and there will be a disposition to await de velopments. The coming session prom ises to be productive of considerable talk, but little action. Congressmen are generally disposed to let well enough alone. President Roosevelt’s message Is expected to be conservative In tone, though It need cause no sur prise If he expresses hlmseir some what plainly regarding trusts and the desirability of a reasonable degree of publicity about their affairs. l.'Minlnaa of the Oiatrsl. The earnings of the Central of Geor gia Railway for the second week of November were $163,110, against $143.- 750 last year, and $2,010,726 from July 1 to the end of the second week, against 12,707,7'S for the <.orrpondlng period last year.

Illustrated by Relyea, 400 pages, $1.50. Century Cos., New York. What Mary Johnston did for Virginia history, and Maurice Thompson for Indiana, is done for the history of Mississippi in this story by Grace MacGowan Cooke, and Annie Booth McKinney. The dedication of the book reads “To that Church in Amer ica whose foundation stones were laid in the Southern wildernesses of our country by many such little bands as that of Mistress Joy’s Father Tobias,” meaning, in brief, the Methodist Church. “Mistress Joy” is not a relig ious novel, yet it deals most tenderly and beautifully with the history of primitive Methodism. Those who know this history are aware that Methodism came to this country by way of the Georgia coast. Both Wesleys landed at Savannah, labored In the Georgia col ony, preached here, and it was here that John Wesley received that deep er spiritual insight, that second call, which gave us Wesleyan Methodism instead of Oxford Methodism. At the time of which Mistress Joy treats Georgia was still in partial possession of the greater portion of what was then the province, and Is now the state of Mississippi. The new sect spread rap idly, and Tobias Valentine, father of Joyce Valentine, the Mistress Joy of the tale, was a circuit rider and as he himself expresses it, ‘pastor to a little flock of the falhtful,’ near Natchez, In 1798. The interest of the story centers about his daughter, brave, Impetuous, beautiful, who thinks she “has a call to preach the Word,” and finds that the world calls her so strongly that she needs must doubt her own vocation. To tell how she fought out her battle, feund the solution of her problem, is to tell the story. In the course of her struggle to test herself she goes to the home of a wealthy uncle In New Or leans, learns with that same fiery zeal she has brought to bear upon spirit ual matters, to dance and play the fine lady. There, at a ball given to the royal wanderer, she dances the sword minuette with Louis Philippe, and leads all hearts captive with her naive girlish charm. How she returns to Natchez and the wilderness, demands to be disciplined and is disciplined; how she follows the leading of her own pure heart and finds happiness, these things are told in the book, and told with unfailing grace and charm, yet with a pervasive humor, a breadth and humaneness, unusual, even in a work so good as this. “Minette, a Story of the First Cru sade,” by George F. Cram. 12 mo. Cloth. Decorated. Price $1.50. John W. lllff & Co.’, Chicago. As the author says in hts Introduction this is not a story that, having been read, can be easily dismissed from the mind. It is a deeply interesting story and, ap parently, has the coloring of the pe riod of the world’s history of which it treats. There Is abundant evidence that the author made a close study of the First Crusade before he began his work, and that he has kept pretty close to historical facts no one who is qualified to express an opinion on the subject will doubt. The book Is one that will be read with absorbing interest. The author does not pretend to be an adept in the are of novel writing. In fact, this is his first book. He wrote it because he felt he had something to say that would be Interesting and instructive. To say that he has been successful Is not saying as much as he is entitled, from the standpoint of the merit of his book, to have said. ‘‘White’s Art of Teaching.” By Em erson E. White, A.M., LL.D., author of a series of mathematics, “Elements of Pedagogy,” “School Management,” etc. Cloth, 12mo„ 321 pages. Price SI.OO. American Book Company, New York. This presents fundamental and guiding principles in a clear and help ful manner, and then applies these principles In methods of teaching that are generic and comprehensive, afi methods being presented in the clear light of the best and fullest experience. In the study of special methods, great pains have been taken to show their true function and to point out their limitations, and this with a view of guarding teachers against the too com mon error of accepting them as gen eral methods and making them hobbles. No other work we have seen discusses the numerous problems connected with teaching as an art, with more lucidity and helpfulness. “That Girl Montana,” by Marah El lis Hyan. Band McNally & Cos., Chi cago, publishers. Cloth, $1.50. It Is a safe statement that Mrs. Ryan has never written a stronger story than this one, which is full of that subtle charm that compels a sympathetic In terest from Its opening chapter—an in terest that, once aroused, is not relin quished until the last page has been read. In "That Girl Montana” Mrs. Ryan takes her character to the West ern wlls of Idaho, in the land of the Kootenais, and there, amid the charms of the hills and the beauties of na ture, one is made acquainted with people who win admiration for their honest sincerity and the true Western generosity of their natures. Montana, or ’Tana, as she Is known to her friends, Is a typical wild flpwer of the W’est, nurtured among the confines of her beloved hills. Mrs. Ryan Is a past master in the art of constructing plots and in bringing her stories to a logical and satisfying conclusion. While there are several threads running through "That Girl Montana,” they are care fully woven together and form a strong whole In a clever and fascinating story. Mrs. Ryan's characters live—they breathe the air of life and one lives with them and among them, sharing their hopes and sorrows. “365 Breakfast Dishes,” selected from Mrs, Lincoln, Mrs. Lemcke, Table Talk, Boston Cooking Bchool Maga zine and others, George W.

Mr. Farjeon has taken for his plot the union of the daughter of an English peer of illustrious descent, with the son of a Jew, who has risen to gerat wealth, and the mental de velopments of this union, the struggles and doubts and transitions of feeling, the pride of the Jew and that of the English aristocrat, have afforded scope for one of the most interesting love stories c*f modern times. There is no writer of fiction who has a more inti mate knowledge of the English-speak ing Jew than Mr. Farjeon. “Pussy Mectw. the Autobiography of a Cat,” by S. Louise Patteson. George W. Jacobs & Cos., Philadelphia, Pa,, publishers. Cloth, 60 cents. What the story of “Black Beauty” has done for the horse, and that of “Beautiful Joe” for the dog, “Pussy Meow” aims to do for the cat, and there is ample rea son for believing that this book will accomplish its purpose. In the most entertaining manner we are given the autobiography of one of Mrs. Fatte son’s own pussies, not a beautiful Per sian nor an expensive Angora, but a plain, every-day house cat, 'who passes through all sorts of interesting ad ventures. The book abounds In prac tical suggestions for the care and comfort of our domestic animals drawn out by the current of the story. .lingual ue. No one will ask for better holiday reading than that which the Christmas number of McClure’s Magazine will furnish. First and foremost, of course, is to be mentioned John LaFarge’s article on “Michael Angelo,” the first of a series In which, during the follow ing year this great artist and critic of our own day will discuss in the pages of McClure's the greatest artists or the past. “A Mendicant.” by Adacht Kln nosuki, is a tale of Japan in the hey day of romance, touchingly simple in plot and full of the spirit of the medie val idealism which finds Its prototypes In the West In the tales of troubadours and minstrels. In this number, also, commences a serial certain to attract national attention—Stewart Edward White’s “The Forrest Runner,” a novelette, (he scene of which is laid in the forests of Michigan. The S. S. Mc- Clure Company, New York. The Christmas Ladies' Home Jour nal is the largest number of that mag azine ever issued, and the quality seems in keeping with the quantity. It opens with an account of “The People Who Hfelp Santa Claus,” after which comes a story by Elizabeth McCrack en, entitled “The Baby Behind the Cur tain.” There are many other arti cles and stories, and the number is one that will be sure to please. The Ladies’ Home Journal, Philadelphia, Pa. In the Christmas number of Llppin cott's Magazine there appears a com pleted novel by Louis Evan Shipman, the author of “D’Arcy of the Guards.” Asa compliment to its hero, the title is “Ralph Tarrant." There is the same sparkle and spirit so much admired In the author’s earlier book, while In plot this may be said to outdistance its predecessor. In addition to the com plete novel there are many short sto -1 lies In the Christmas Llpplncott’s; one of these Is the latest love-story of the sea by Cyrus Townsend Brady. It Is called “The Captain of H. B. M. Ship Diamond Rock.” It is as stirring as anything the distinguished author has yet done, and tells how a seaman com manded a fortified rock. “The Unfin ished Elegy,” by Karl Edwin Harri man, is a pathetic Christmas story about a musician. A charming sort of “Alice in Wonderland” story is con tributed by a young Englishwoman, E. Ayrton. It is entitled “The Little Gate of Fairyland.” Paul Laurence Dun bar’s sfory called “The Visiting of Mother Danbury” continues his series of tales about types of Ohio country people. The touch of humor is never lacking in these sometimes tragic scenes. The “Walnuts and Wine” de partment this month Is merry with a Yule-tide flavor. J. B.

Bulloch Times: The papers all had their say about the Estill dinner at Wimberly on the 28th Inst. Some were surprised at the magnitude of the en tertainment and Col. Estill’s unbound ed hospitality. Others exploded on the crustacean character of the feast, as something new under the sun to them, never dreaming before that the “dark unfathomed cates of ocean bear” the savory sweets spread before them, not that the real gems of the sea were so palatable and digestible. We thank Col.
