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. * '-.Wit- to make the white men conic 1" ills oft;,.. t„ vu y ,J le j r Atld | >“ nil men are beginning to fear that he will win out. ! 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. PERSONAL. —Maj. William Hancock Clark, eld est son of the eldest son of Capt. Wil liam Clark of the Lewis and Clark ex pedition, will have an important part in opening the exposition in Portland in 1905. —Rev. George K. Morris, a Baptist preacher of Cleveland, in addressing the Young Men's Christian Association the other day expressed the opinion that a thief might enter heaven, but he had his doubts as to the ability of a dull preacher to get there. —A Texan known as “Volcano” Marshall became stranded in Manila and asked Gen. Chaffee to send, him home. The general said his orders were to give such aid only to those in the military or civil service. “You could send me if you wanted to," said Marshall persuasively. “See here,” said the commander in stern tones, "if our places were reversed would you give trie transportation?” “You bet I would, and be darn'ed glad to get rid of you.” said the Texas volcano. Gen. Chaffee smiles discreetly when asked whether he sent Mr. Marshall home. 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 lieople, in a platform of patr.otic Hnt j progressive principles, the complete reason and Ju• titleati m for presenting him to their suffrage. If u cannot make a platform that ought to be muds.

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 required by a stomach that was a lit tle out of order and should not be over taxed. Senator Stewart, by the way, was 74 years of age the 9th of last Au gust. 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.
