'all's. Fn-d .Tones of Chicago offered
to pi iv poker with her husband six
evenings a week If he would go to
church with her on Sundays. When
he declined, she said she couldn’t un
derstand why it wouldn’t be just as
interesting to play with her .as with
anybody -iso. especially since he was
so fond of playing poker with two
widows; "one grass and the other
sod. ” The upshot was the matter end
ed in the divorce court.
Senator Tillman says he would vote
to ratify the nomination of a negro to a
place in the 'abinet. Why? Because
he thinks the negro entitled to such rec
ognition, or because he wants to pun
ish the country for the policies of
its President? Of course the latter rea
son is the correct one; in which case
Senator Tillman is 'as narrow-minded
with respect to ihe matter as is the
President. Logically, if he is willing to
see a negro in the Cabinet, he ought
to be willing to see one in the Char
leston custom house. We do not be
lieve other Southern Senators will agree
with him on his Cabinet proposition.
A distingushed English scientist and
author recently coined a word when
lie said that certain rocks were found
"manywhere" in England. “Many
where.” it seems, is to be blessed with
“many-much" progeny. From Boston
have come already “many-several,”
“anywhen," "instantquickly” and
“muchenough.” and the Boston brain is
still incubating. Another new word
having its origin in England, by the
way, is “oysteria,” meaning the fear
of contracting typhoid from the eating
of oysters. London is said to have suf
fered quite a severe attack of "oyster
ia’’ during the current winter.
The aristocratic residents of Larch
mont, N. Y.—the town where so many
yachtsmen make their headquarters in
the season—are not sure but that they
have been playing a joke that will
prove a boomerang. Some time ago a
negro liveryman of the name of Tom
Harris announced his candidacy for the
office of tax receiver of the town. The
yachtsmen and other society folks
treated the matter as a Joke, and to
further It they boomed Tom’s candi
dacy. He regarded the thing in dead
earnest and has made an active cam
paign. Recently Tom decided that he
would show his appreciation of the
support of his aristocratic white
friends by giving them a champagne
supper. The white it lends balked at
this, and did not attend the spread.
This made Harris angry, and he is
moil- determined than ever to have th
nffb i j| there is any chance to get it
by hard work and liberal expenditures.

! OITLOOK TOR THE CI'BAN TREATY.
The outlook for the success of the
i Cuban reciprocity treaty is not partie
! ularly bright. The Cuban Senate has
! approved it and has expressed its wil
i lingness to wait for six months for its
; ratification by the United States 6en
j ate. The Cubans, of course, want the
, trgpty. They do not think it is as fair to
| them as it ought to be. hut it is only
! natural that they should want more
; than we are willing to give them.
At the beginning of the present ses-
I sion of Congress is seemed to be the
understanding that the high protection
advocates had practically abandoned
their opposition to the treaty, pro
vided the concessions to Cuba were
not too great. At that time it was
the quite general understanding that
j the treaty would be ratified.
I It now develops that the opposition
I to its ratification Is very pronounced.
The President has been told, so it is
reported, that if the treaty is ratified
efforts will be made by the high pro
tectionists to prevent his nomination
for President. As far as known, how
ever. he has not shown tiny intention
to recede front the position he has tak
en. He believes that the sentiment of
the country favors the treaty, and it
is his purpose to insist upon ratifica
tion.
The chief opponents of the tff-&ty
are. ot course, the beet sugar mtn
and the tobacco growers. It is as
serted that the ratification of the
treaty will be extremely injurious to
both oi these steadily expanding inter
ests. The tobacco growers and beet
sugar nn-n have succeeded in enlisting
the American Protective Tariff League
on tneir side and the prospect Is for a
long fight against the treaty.
There is a probability that the Sen
ate wilf ratify it. The President ap
pears to be strong enough to secure
its ratification, but it is asserted that
the fight against it will not end with
ratification. It is stated that Mr.
Payne, chairman of the Ways and
Means Committee, will introduce into
the House, from his committee, a res
olution declaring that the Senate has
no power to disturb revenue acts by
means of treaties. If the House should
pass this, and it is said that it would,
the issue thus raised would go to the
Supreme Court, where it might remain
for two or three years.
It does seem as if there ought to be
some tariff concessions to or
else she should have the right to make
reciprocity treaties with other coun
tries. According to the Platt amend
ment Cuba can make no treaties with
out the consent of this country. This
government would not, of course con
sent for her to make a reciprocity
treaty with one of the European na
tions because it wants her trade. It
is certainly unjust to refuse to make
terms with Cuba —terms that would
give her a living price for her sugar
and tobacco—and also refuse to let her
make reciprocity terms with another
country.
It looks as if the high protectionists
have determined to do with this coun
try pretty much as they please. Un
less the people turn the government
over to the Democratic party we may
expect very soon tariff laws in the in
terest of protection more outrageous
than those we now have.
NOT SATISFIED WITH THE VEH
DICT.
It seems that the Brotherhood of Lo
comotive Engineers.is not satisfied with
the verdict of the coroner's jury in the
case of the accident which occurred on
the Central Railroad of New Jersey
near Westfield, in that state, a few
weeks ago, and in which many lives
were lost and a large number of peo
ple injured. The scene of the accident
was in Union county, and the foreman
of the grand jury of that county is now
taking testimony in Philadelphia for
the purpose of placing the blame on
the railroad conlpany.
It will bo recalled that the coroner’s
jury placed the blame on the engineer,
James Davis. The engineers who are
employed on the Central of New Jer
sey Railroad are of the opinion, it
seems, that the railroad was responsi
ble for the accident, for the reason that
the locomotive which drew the train
that was the cause of the accident was,
in their opinion, in such bad repair
that it was unlit to be used.
It will be recalled that it was stated
in the reports of the accident that
the engineer said that his attention
was drawn from his duties for a brief
•Space of time by his efforts to pre
vent the escape of steam from the
boiler of his locomotive, and that it
was owing to this fact that he did no
tice the signals.
It is but right and proper that the
grand jury of Union county should in
vestigate the accident thoroughly, and
so place the blame for the accident on
the railroad company, If the blame
should rest there. It may be true that
the locomotive was in bad condition
and should not have been sent out; but
if the engineer knew that fact he
should not have taken it out. If it
be true, as stated, that all the engi
neeriS knew that the locomotive in
question was unsafe, and that Engineer
Davis also knew It, he was, in some
measure, responsible for the accident.
The company’s agents, and, therefore,
the company, was chiefly responsible if
the locomotive was sent out, notwith
standing the fact that it was well un
derstood that it was in a dangerous
j condition.
The action of the Union county grand
! jury will be appreciated, even though
| it should turn out that the point made
1 by the Brotherhood of Engineers is not
I sustained.
The granting of reforms by Turkey
to her provinces is somewhat in the na
ture of a continuous performance. Ke
forms are being "granted" all the time,
but never carried out. Spain, as we
well remember used frequently to grant
reforms to Cuba, and the Cubans near
ly always roinplained that they were
worse off after the reforms thun be
fore.

SAVANNAH MORNING NGWSy WEDNESDAY. FEBRUARY 25. 100.?,
LEGISLATION IN CAROLINA.
The Charleston News and Courier in
a recent issue devoted more than three
columns of its space to the publication
of an article that deserves the consid
eration of the taxpayers of South Car
olina. It is a list of the acts passed
by the recent session of the Legisla
ture, and shows that of a mass of pro
posed legislation, 185 bills passed both
houses and were sent to the Governor.
Is it possible that so much legisla
tion was needed for the better govern
ment of South Carolina? It had been
only one year since the Legislature
was in session. South Carolina is one
of the very few states retaining the old
annual session plan. Year after year
these sessions have been held, each
passing about as many new laws as the
session Just concluded. After all of
this law-making, did South Carolina
still need 185 new laws? A glance at
the character of the acts passed may
let in some light on the subject. Three
out of four of the new acts are of eith
er local or private character; notwith
standing the fact that the constitution
of the state forbids local legislation by
the General Assembly. It is the esti
mate of the News and -Courier’s re
view that of the 185 acts, not more
than fifty have general application;
and it may he doubted that half of
this number were in actual demand.
The cost of the session was approxi
mately $50,000. Each of the fifty gen
eral laws, therefore, cost the taxpay
ers SI,OOO. Will they prove to be worth
the price?
It seems to be true of South .Caro
lina, as we are sure it is true of
Georgia, that the people are made to
pay large sums of money every year
for a mass of legislation that they do
not need. Annual sessions are an in
centive to “chicken-feed” legislation,
since it seems so easy to repeal a law
after it has been in force a few months
if it is not found satisfactory. And pol
iticians take their local factional fights
into the Legislature and have them
adjusted there, to the satisfaction of
the party with the strongest pull. If
legislative sessions were held bienni
ally legislators would be less hasty
about introducing bills, there would be
less freakish and half-baked legisla
tion, and the state would save a round
sum of hard cash. South Carolina
would save $50,000 each two years—
quite a respectable amount. We think
the News and'Courter’s list of 185 new
acts, 135 of them being “chicken-feed,”
is a very strong argument in favor of
biennial sessions.
A SUGGESTION FOR ORANGE GROW
ERS.
Sometime ago it was announced in
our dispatches that the owner of a
large apple orchard in the northern
part of New York, failing to get an
offer for his crop of apples that he
thought was a fair one, and knowing
front experience that if he consigned
his crop to commission merchants the
expenses and commissions would eat
a big hole In his receipts, if they did
not wholly consume them, decided to
market his crop after a ftlan of his
own. He advertised that he would de
liver boxes of 100 and 125 apples at $3
per box. A statement has just been
published that he found no difficulty
in disposing of his entire crop on the
terms he advertised, and therefore that
his crop had been an extremely
profitable one.
Florida orange growers frequently
have cause to complain of the prices
they receive for their fruit, that is,
when they consign it to commission
merchants in the cities of the North
and West. By the time the freight
charges and commissions are deducted
front the selling price it often hap
pens that little is left for the orange
grower. And it is probable that a sus
picion creeps Into the mind of a grow
er once in awhile that his commission
merchant does not make an entirely
correct return of the selling price.
It is a question of course whether
the Florida orange growers could
market their oranges successfully on
the plan adopted by the New York
apple grower, because there are so
many of them, but out of that plan
might come a suggestion which would
be of great assistance to them. As
a general thing the Florida orange
growers now sell their crops on the
trees, but while they save themselves
a great deal of trouble and some
losses in disposing of their crops they
leave a big margin of profit for the
middlemen.
The peach growers of this state have
occasion to complain of the commis
sion merchant, and it is probable that
the commission merchant sometimes
makes a great deal more than his
legitimate commission. Could not
some of the peach growers do better
with their peaches by following the
plan of the New York apple grower
than by placing entire dependence up
on commission men?
A couple of years ago a truck
farmer near Valdosta raised a large
crop of cantaloupes. He was in doubt
as to the best method of marketing
them. He was advised to send a
crate of them to the steward of the
Waldorf-Astoria. He followed this
advice, sending a note to the steward
stating that if he found them accepta
ble to order more. In a few days he
received a note from the steward re
questing him to send all he had until
further orders. The conseciuence was
that he marketed his entire crop at
a remarkably profitable price. These
two instances show’ what a farmer or
fruit grower can do who has the ability
and courage to leave the beaten paths
in marketing his crops.
At Guilford, Surrey, England, a num
ber of women have organised a "so
ciety for promoting man indifference
among women.” The members of the
society pledge themselves to assist
"young women and those older In
years to withstand temptations to en
ter the marriage state." The rules of
the order enjoin members to have a
wholesome contempt of love, to abhor
marriage, and to display the society's
badge .it 1< ast one day a week. In all
probability the promoters of this *o
-1 lety have ta-com** advocate* of eter
nal maidenhood for the same reason
that the fox didn't sat the gia.pes.
Copies of the first mid-ocean daily
newspaper were reproduced in New
York on Monday. The dispatches had
been transmitted by the Marconi sys
tem to the steamer Etruria, and on
board of her they were printed for the
information of her passengers. On the
same day some of the New York papers
had articles on the newest plans of
Nikola Tesla for doing things with
electricity that will make Marconi’s
performances look like the experiments
of a school boy. Tesla is building at
Wardenclyffe, L. 1., a power station for
the wireless distribution of electrical
energy. From the station on Long Is
land he promises to turn the wheels of
industry in New York city, to make
wireless telephoning easy and certain,
to operate electric launches far at sea,
and to run electric automobiles any
where and everywhere. All that will
need to be done is to have the appara
tus for which electrical power is want
ed “attuned" to the Tesla apparatus on
Long Island, and the trick of wireless
transmission will be accomplished.
Sending power eighty to ninety miles
without w ires, in any quantity required,
will be a small matter with the Tesla
apparatus.
A reproduction of Lulu Hurst, the
"Georgia magnetic wonder” of some
few years ago, seems to have been dis
covered at Port Jervis, N. Y„ in the
person of a little girl of 12 of the name
of Stella Lundelius. She is a frail and
nervous child, weighing sixty-five
pounds, nevertheless four strong men,
acting together, have found it impos
sible to raise her from the floor against
her will. A touch of her hand upon
the hand of a strong man seems to rob
him of all his strength. By opposition,
when she places her hand upon a heavy
object, such as a piano, it can be easily
moved by a person of no great
strength. Another feature of her
strange power is that she can control
pain in others. Limbs stiffened with
rheumatism become supple under the
slightest manipulations of her small
hands, and a few passes of her fin
gers over the'forehead will cure a vio
lent headache. These, at all events,
are the claims that are made for her.
If they are true, she is a remarkable
child.
Mrs. C. E. Coulter, who is the only
woman member of the Utah Legisla
ture, has introduced a bill for a sweep
ing reform. She wishes "treating" to
be prohibited throughout the length
and breadth of the state. “Good!”
will say a chorus of feminine temper
ance workers. But, wait a minute;
Representative Coulter’s bill does nijt
apply solely to liquors and cigars; it
embraces ice cream, lemonade, soda
water and all of the dozen-and-one
concoctions dispensed over the soda
fountain counter. Those who receive
"treats” are to be made equally liable
with those who give them. Thus, if
a young man were to take his girl to
an ice cream parlor and “treat,” both
would be liable to punishment under
the law. Asa reformer, Sister Coulter
proposes to 'be logical.
Inasmuch as the Department of
Commerce and Labor is to have the
supervision of trade worth hundreds of
millions of dollars a year, Secretary
Cortelyou thinks Uncle Sant might well
afford to make to it a little advance
“on account;” he therefore modestly
asks for the total of $7,669,630 for an of
fice building and salaries. This new
portfolio is going to make a big hole in
the treasury pile. That result, how
ever, was expected.

CURRENT COMMENT.
The Memphis Commercial-Appeal
(Dem.) says: “The United Statts
courts have decided that the beef tiust
is a combination in restraint of the
trade. The Sherman act makes this an
offense punishable with fine or impris
onment or both. Isn't it in order to
indict the guilty parties? That is con
sidered ordinarily the best way to se
cure the observance of the law.”
The Birmingham Age-Herald (Dem.)
says: "When the census was taken in
1860, as the Civil War was coming on,
there were 3.9. r >3.760 slaves in the coun
try. It is reasonable to say that this
number was increased to 4,000,000 by
the end of the war. Using the pension
roils as a guide, it is safe to say that
1,460,000 of the ex-slaves are still living,
and if they are pensioned at the rite
of SIOO a year the. pension roll would
be increased to the extent of $145,000,-
000, and the South would thus receive
about as much pension money as the
North does. The Hanna proposition is
a very lively one, and the country has
not heard the last of it by any means.
It may prove a boomerang to the Re
publicans, but it is fairly launched,
and they cannot now sink it or drive
it out of public view."
The Brooklyn Oagle (Dem,), discus
sing the prospective candidacy of
Judge Alton B. Parker, says: "But in
1904 there can he no Democratic re
iteration of the Bryanism of 1896 and
1900. on any of the point* against
which the country was then aroused
A Parker nomination should of itself
necessitate a platform that faced the
future and made no fetich of the past.
The Democracy cun nominal’ th*
Judge and can then also assure to the

Escaped b>- Poker Game.
“The hanging of a colored man in the
District the other day brought to my
mind the only execution that I ever
saw, that of George Fletcher, a mur
derer, down in Nogales, about fifte?n
years ago,” said an Arizona man re
siding in Washington, according to the
Washington Post. “But it wasn't so
much of George’s finish that I was
thinking as of the funny way that he
made his escape from the Nogales Jail
a couple of weeks before he was due
to take his final walk.
“Fietrher had killed a couple of
prospectors for the dust they had on
thorn, and the posse had to put up a
pretty hot chase alter him before they
finally snared him in the Antarita
mountains. There was a dead case
against him, and he himself made no
bones of the fact that he had slaugh
tered the pair of prospectors, and so
he was condemned to death in pretty
short erder. George had been a friend
of the warden of the Nogales jail, Jim
Evans, and so when Jim got charge of
George he made it pretty easy for the
murderer, seeing that George was
scheduled to cash in at so early a day.
One night, a couple of weeks before
Fletcher's day of doom, three of War
den Evans' cronies dropped In at the
jail tor a l.ttle game of draw. They
played at a table placed at the head of
the main corridor, near the warden’s
office, and the table was so placed that
George Fletcher could watch the pro
gress of the game from his cell.
”'i he warden and his three monies
had been playing for an hour or so,
when the warden observed that
Fletcher was watching the game with
a rather wistful eye. He wanted to
make Fletcher’s last days as easy and
comfortable as possible and so he said
to the prisoner:
‘Want to sit in a while, George?’
’I sure do,’ replied Fletcher, grate
fully.
’All right, son,’ said Warden* Jim,
and he got up from the table, unlock
ed the cell door and let George out.
“The prisoner had about S3OO in gold
that his desperate mates had sent to
him to make his jail life comfortable,
and he produced his canvas bag,
bought a stack, and was soon swing
ing along, enjoying himself and mo
nopolizing all the luck from the mo
-ITlent that he sat into the game.
“After about an hour's play, Warden
Jini; got up and said that he’d just go
through the jail and do his locking up
lor the night, and then come back and
sit in again when he had accomplished
his task.
'You boys go ahead,' he said in de
parting for another portion of the jail,
‘and I’ll be back d’rectly.’
"The warden hadn’t left the table for
more than three minutes before one of
his cronies fancied that he detected
Fletcher, the prisoner, in the act of
picking up a card from beneath the
table. He jumped up and strode
around to the prisoner's place, and
there he saw a whole bunch of good
cards lying at Fletcher’s feet.
‘So you're dishin' ’em out t’ y’self,
are ye, ye onnery ombrey!" yelled the
warden’s chum, and straightway he
and the other two men grabbed
Fletcher altogether, and incontinently
dumped him out of the window of the
warden’s office, completely forgetting
in their excitement and wrath over his
cheating, that he was a murderer un
der sentence of death. They didn’t* re
member that fact until ten minutes
later, when Warden Jim| Evans re
turned from his tour of the jail, and
burnt them up with a cussing for their
craziness.
“Fletcher wasn’t slow to get next to
a good thing when it came hiking his
way, and the ma'nner with which he
struck out and only hit the high sand
knolls was a caution to Gilas. It took
three weeks for the posse to spring
him again, and when they at length
took him he was far toward the middle
of Death Valley, and almost delirous
from the lack of water. They nursed
him back to life, returned him to the
Nogales jail, and in due time he was
executed. He was not allowed to
mingle up in any more poker gam’s
while awaiting his final piping out,
either.”
Wntitecl Something Dainty.
“Well, my boy,” said Senator Stew
art of Nevada to a white-aproned wait
er in a well-known German restaurant
the- other evening, according to the
Baltimore Herald, as he stroked his
flowing white beard and sank Into a
seat beside a round table, “what can
you give me to-night that's appetizing
and dainty? My stomach’s a little out
of order and I’m not going to eat any
dinner. I just want something light
to keep me going.”
The waiter began to enumerate the
delicatessen for which the restaurant is
famous—“leberwurst, wiener schnitzel,
Wienerwurst, Bismarck herring”—when
the Senator had an inspiration and
stopped him.
“Ah, how about lirnburger—have you
any imported lirnburger—and rye
bread?”
Centainly they had lirnburger—a man
with a nose could tell that without ask
ing; and rye bread in plenty.
"Good,” said the venerable but still
vigorofts statesman, as he smacked his
lips and smoothed out the wrinkles
from the napkin the waiter had spread
over a small beer stain on the table
cloth. .
“Give me at double portion, and be
sure the lirnburger is the imported 'Ar
ticle. This American imitation hasn't
the right—character. And boy,” the
Senator called, as the waiter moved
away, "bring me a big stein of that
Wurtzburger hofbrau to wash it
down.”
When the waiter filled the order the
Senator fell to with a vim on the dain
ty snack a happy inspiration had sug
gested to him as just the sort of thing

My 01l B njo.
From the Chicago News.
I'm not much' on music, I'm often
told
And the tunes that I like are a trifle
old.
They are tuney and lively and sort
of go ,
To the plinkety-plunk of my old banjo.
There is nothing that’s classic, but lots
of swing
To the rags that I pick on the
twangling string.
For I couldn't play anything sad or
slow
To the plinkety-piunk of my old banjo.
There's a sound to the flute that is
soft and sweet.
But it doesn't get into a fellow's feet.
There is nothing compares that a
man can blow
To the plinkety-plunk of my old
banjo.
I am fond of the fiddle, the mandolin
And the gay guitar, but they don't
begin
To suit yours truly as well. I know,
As the plinkety-piunk of my old
banjo. .
I'm given to playing, when things
go wrong,
The hoedown refrain of an old coon
song;
And It livens me up. for I can't feel
low .
When I plinkety-plunk on my old
banjo. *
Though It may not be music, I like
the noise,
For it lightens my troubles and helps
my Joys;
And the longer I live the fonder I grow
Of the plinkety-plunk of iny old
banjo
