Driving hard -work of the most try
ing kind characterized the work of
the football squad last night, and the
first real scrimmage practice of the
season was engaged in for a few
minutes. The lights threw so many
shadow's, however, that this had to be
abandoned for fear of hurting some of
the men in the eve of battle.
In this few minutes of practice, how
ever, many defects of the most glar
ing nature were observed, and nothing
but hard work will remedy them. The
time is too 6hort now before Satur
day’s game to remedy all of them.
The material is the best Savannah has
ever had. This statement seems pret
ty strong In view of the excellent
teams which have been turned out, but
nevertheless it is a fact.
To criticise the team as it now
stands would be manifestly unjust.
Some of the men have not been able
to attend over three practices. Lands-

are not disheartened with the task be
fore them to be performed in two prac
tices, however, and as long as the men
are able to stand it they will be put
through the most severe work possible
to-night and to-morrow night.
There was a noticeable lack of
charging in the line the scrimmage
last night. There also seemed to be
timidity on some of the new men in
entering the play. This can only be
overcome by constant engagement in
battle.
Some Old Stars.
Among the former members of the
Blue and White team who are show
ing up well are Sullivan ’and Lands
berg. Sullivan is playing with more
spirit than ever before, and shows won
derful speed already. He Is perhaps,
the best conditioned man on the team.
Of this year’s returns Johnson and
Artley are playing with their old time
vigor, Futch is passing the ball with
ihe same steady swing. All of the
men seem to realize that to get a place
on the team they have got to work
for it and never before was the contest
so keen.
Gordon Saussy was out last night in
uniform assisting in the coaching, and
will continue to help for the next two
nights.

MRS. LONGSTREET APPOINTED
POSTMASTER AT GAINESVILLE
His Non-Residence Caused the Removal of Post
master Farrow.
By R. M. Larner.
Washington, D. C., Oct. 25.—Mrs.
James Longstreet, widow of the late
Gen. Longstreet, of Georgia, is to suc
ceed Henry P. H. Farrow as post
rrfaster at Gainesville. The desire of
the President and Postmaster General
Wynne to assist the widow of the dis
tinguished Confederate general led to
the change at Gainesville, which for
many years was the home of Gen.
Longstreet.
A postoffice inspector, who recently
went to Gainesville to investigate a
complaint that Col. Farrow w*as not
a citizen of that place, but lived in
another county, reported that the
charges were true, Col. Farrow being
a resident of Lumpkin county, Geor
gia. Col. Farrow has been a lifelong
Republican in Georgia, and Was been
postmaster at Gainesville for six or sev
en years.
There has been some question as to
the citizenship of Mrs. Longstreet in
Gainesville, but there is thought to be
no doubt of that. Gen. Longstreet
lived there after the Civil War, al
though much of his time was spent in
Washington as commissioner of rail
roads, which office was continued for
his benefit long after its duties had
ceased.
Mrs. Longstreet was the second wife
of Gen. Longstreet. She is about thir
ty-five years old, and at the time of her
marriage to the General, w*as editor
and owner of a Georgia newspaper.
She is a bright, attractive woman, ful
ly qualified for the position to which
she is to be appointed. It is possible,
however, that the Georgia Republican
machine, of which Col. Farrow is a
member, may attempt to make a light
A TRIP TO THE MOON.
Some of the Odd Things One Might
Find on Such a Voyage.
From St. Nicholas.
How would you like to take a trip
to the moon? It would be a long
journey, taking more than six months
if you went with the speed of an ex
press train; or if you traveled with
the swiftness of a ball from a modern
cannon, it would take about as long
as a trip across the Atlantic in a fast
steamer. Under average atmospheric
conditions, a large telescope gives up
a view of the moon as it would be
without the telescope at a distance of
800 miles from us.
The necessary outfit for the Journey
must be much more extensive than for
any trip on the earth, even the trip to
the North Pole. There will be no
chance "to live off the country.” In
addition to warm clothing and food
you must carry with you all you need
to drink, and the problem of keeping
it from freezing or thawing it out if
frozen will not be an easy one to
solve. There is practically no atr on
the moon, and you must take along a
supply for breathing. If you expect
to make a fire and cook your dinner
you must take, In addition to fuel, an
additional supply of air to keep your
fire going.
But suppose that In some way you
are landed on the moon with a supply
of things necessary for sustaining
life. If you are on a part of the
moon on which the sun is shining you
will marvel, perhaps, first of aIL at
the dazzling brilliance of the sunlight
and the intense blackness of the
shadows. Everything in the shade
will be in almost total darkness, as
there is no air filled with little dust
particles to scatter the sunlight so
that it may illuminate the places out
of the direct path of Its rays.
And what a sense of desolation will
present itself to your view! The
Desert of Sahara would look like a
luxuriant park In compariaon with the
lunar landscape. Not a blade of grass,
not a tree, or brook, or lake—nothing
but a vast, stony, silent desert. There
are plains, not quite as level as our
Western prairies and great numbers
of mountains, most of them much
steeper than those on the earth: they
are not grouped in long ranges, aa
our terrestlal mountains generally
are, but are scattered all over the
surface, singly and in Irregular groups.
Most of them are shaped more or less
like our terrestlal voloanoes, and they
probably were volcanoes ages ago, be
fore the moon cooled off.
If you happen to land on a part of
the moon where it Is early morning
you will have plenty of time for ex
plorations before night comes on. The
sun rises and sets as It does on the
earth, but the time between sunrise
and sunset Is nearly fifteen of our
day*. Then during the long lunar
night our earth will art like the moon,
and will light up that part of the
moon's surface which I* turned to
ward it. Only there will be this cu
rious difference: it will not rise and
set, but will remain nearly stationary
in the same region of the sky. From
the side of the moon which is always
turned away from us the earth, of
course, can never be seen at ail.

MASONIC HOME DEDICATED
With Imposing Ceremonies by
Grand Lodge of Georgin.
Macon, Oct. 25.—The one hundred
and eighteenth session of the
Grand Lodge of Masons began
to-day. Grand Master Max Meyer
heardt is presiding. There were not less
than 800 Masons at the opening ses
sion. The greater part of the session
was taken up with the address of the
Grand Master, which was one of the
best ever delivered before to the
Grand Lodge. He made especial ref
erence to the achievement of the
Masons of the state in the erection of
the new Masonic Home, and said that
its completion was a consummation
to which Masons had long looked for
ward.
He spoke of the fine financial con
ditionf of the Grand Lodge, and said
that there would be a considerable
amount on hand after paying ex
penses.
The afternoon session was taken up
with the dedication of the Masonic
Home. It was a grand occasion for the
Masonic Fraternity when the Grand
Master spoke of the completion of the
home.

Macon, Oct. 25. —An ordinance stat

in City Council by Alderman Jones.
on the confirmation of the appointment
at the coming session of the Senate.
Mrs. Longstreet is well known in
Washington. She lived here with Gen.
Longstreet, while he was railroad com
missioner, making her home most of
the time at the Normandy Hotel. She
appeared a good deal in Washington
society. It is understood that she is
to write a long history of the military
career of Gen. Longstreet.
SHE WAS MARRIED
AT GOVERNOR’S MANSION.
Atlanta, Oct. 25.—Mrs. James Long
street, who has been appointed to suc
ceed Col. H. P. Farrow as postmaster
of Gainesville, is well known through
out Georgia. As the editor of a news
paper which gave her no little dis
tinction, she contributed much to the
success of the campaign of Gov. W.
Y. Atkinson.
She served for a time as assistant
state librarian, and when the time ap
proached for the appointment of a
state librarian. Miss Ellen Dortch, as
she was before her marriage, urged
Gov. Atkinson to appoint her to this
position. He told her the law prevent
ed the appointment of a woman,
whereupon she went to work, and by
hard effort secured the passage
through the Legislature of a bill per
mitting women to hold the position of
state librarian. This was known at
the time as the Dortch bill. Neverthe
less, Gov. Atkinson did not appoint
her, and shortly afterwards she mar
ried Gen. James Longstreet. It was
at Gov. Atkinson’s invitation that the
wedding took place in the executive
mansion, an honor which had not be
fore been conferred on any private citi
zen.
HURTING THE KANGAROO.
Difficult to Shoot on Account of His
Speed.
From the Seattle Port-Intelligencer.
Tiger skins, elephant tusks, antlers
and a dozen other trophies decorated
the smoking room of the huntsman.
“You can’t guess what this it,” he
said, and he took down from the wall
a piece of curiously woven m’atting.
It was about two feet square, green
in color and five inches thick.
“This," he explained, “Is the breast
plate that is worn in kangaroo hunt
ing. Without it the kangaroo, with a
foreleg blow straight from the should
er, could smash in your chest as though
it were a pasteboard box. This
breastplate is a souvenir of an excit
ing kangaroo hunt in Australia.
“All big game enthusiasts are fami
liar with tiger shooting, elephant
shooting, the chase of the grizzly, of
the boar and of the hippo, but, I know
few men who have ever hunted kan
garoos.
“Yet this is an exciting and danger
out sport. The kangaroo, when he is
brought to bay, will fight. He jumps
straight at you, like a great cat, and
with his forelegs he aims at your chest
two tremendous blows—first the right
and then the left—and these blows,
delivered with a speed and accuracy
that no prizefighter could equal, would
kill you if they landed on an unpro
tected surface. So you wear, for a
protection. this thick green guard,
woven of native grasses by native wo
men.
“You hunt the kangaroo in ’sets.’
Eight huntsmen compose a set, and
each set employs half a dozen native
runners to stalk the kangaroo.
"The kangaroo, on being stalked,
comes tearing over the plain straight
at you. He travels with the speed of
an express train, and he makes great
bounding I*aps. One minute he is
crouching on the grass, the next he
is ten feet up in the air, and all the
while, remember, he is going forty
an hour.
“Hence he is a mighty difficult object
to shoot. If you fail to shoot him.
and if there is no tree hand, then you
must put your trust in your matting
breastplate. This breastplate of mine,
you notice, has a dent in lt.’<

pass," humorously remarked the foot
ball captain, as he gave the signal for

Hurling Back
The White Man.
Why Afghanistan Is Not Likely to Be Conquered, Like Its
Neighbor, Tibet—-The Independence of Abyssinia.
By HOWARD KENNEDY.
After centuries of Isolation, Tibet,
"the forbidden land.” has been pro
faned by the foot of the white invader,
and the secrets of Lhasa have been
laid bare. But other countries remain
in which savages and barbarians still
bid defiance to civilization and decline
to become part of the white man’s
burden.
Prophecy is a dangerous and thank
less business, but it is safe to prophe
sy that the neighboring country of Af
ghanistan will not soon meet the fate
of Tibet. There is no state less likely
to be speedily Incorporated within the
hegemony of modern civilization.
The Afghans were twice conquered
by the British, but on both occasions
the garrisoning and ruling of the coun
try was held to be too great a task,
and the invaders were glad enough to
withdraw from a hornets' nest. Since
then, the conquest of the country—
which Russia was supposed to desire
most intensely before the outbreak of
the war with Japan—has become much
more difficult.
Ahdnrralininn's Strenuous Reign.
The late Ameer, Abdurrahman
Khan, during the course of a long and
strenuous reign, prepared to fight for
national independence against either
Russia or England, his two powerful
and aggressive neighbors. England,
washing to maintain Afghanistan as a
strong buffer state between India and
Russia, gave him a large annual sub
sidy, every cent of which he spent on
armaments. Asa consequence, his
successor could put in the field to-mor
row an army of over two hundred
thousand men armed with the best
riiodern rifles and supplied with am
munition made in the country. An in
vader would not encounter leathern
guns, such as the poor Tibetans used,
but the latest types of Maxims, Nor
denfeldts and Krupps. Afghanistan is
in a position to hurl back the w'htte
man with ease. Fighting in her rug
ged mountains, her tribesmen would
be able to "stagger humanity” even
more than the Boers did.
The Strength of Abyssinia.
The Italians learned to their cost
some years ago that Abyssinia, alone
among the many African kingdoms, <s
a military power able to command the
respect of the civilized world. Slam,
which cannot fairly be called a savage
state, has bade defiance to French ag
gression for more than a generation,
and built up an army that ts likely to
permanently guarantee its independ
ence.
These are the principal countries in
the world inhabited by black and browij
men that have hurled back the white'
invader and declined to be civilized
and imperialtzed. But there are many
others of lesser account. A considera
ble part of the earth’s surface is still
virgin from the trader, the missionary
and the white official.
To find savages who have never been
conquered, we need only go next door.
President Diaz has done wonders In
the way of civilizing and developing
Mexico, but throughout his long and
despotic reign he has striven vainly to
bring a large part of his theoretical
dominions under practical control.
Mexico's Warlike Yaqnis.
The successful fight which the Yaqui
Indians have maintained against the
Mexican government for over thirty
years is fairly well known to news
paper readers; but few people are
aware that there are several other
tribes in Mexico that have maintained
their independence up to this day, and
seem likely to do so indefinitely, so
far as present indications go. Among
these tribes are the Huiehols, who call
themselves "the Gods of Fire,” and
worship the sun, and the Tiahuiltee
Indians.
Expedition after expedition has been
sent against these tribes, year after
year, but never with any decisive re
sult. Away in the recesses of their
mountains and swamps, they can bid
defiance even to such fine guerrilla
troops as the Mexican “rurales,” who
are themselves Indians, able to march
twice as far in a day as the average
civilized troops, and to live on a quar
ter as much.
The Tiahuiltecs hare a delightful
habit of devastating the crops of the
country over which the military op
erations range, and poisoning the
streams. Then they retire to their
mountain caves and fastnesses, where
they have previously accumulated pro
visions, and leave their enemies to die
by the score and the hundreds of hun
ger, thirst and disease. The Indian
wars of the United States were mere
trifles compared to those which Mex
ico has waged, and is constantly wag
ing nowadays.
Practically the whole of Yucatan, ex
cept some strips along the sea coast,
is unconquered territory.
The white ruins of an ancient city
can be seen, away up on a mountain
side, from the sea coast of Yucatan;
but no civilized traveler haa ever pene
trated to it. The tribes who own the
intervening swamps and jungles will
not permit anyone to pass.
The White Indians of Yarataa.
There is a tribe of white—or almost
white—lndians occupying this part of
Yucatan. H. B. Fullerton, traffic man
ager of the Long Island Railroad, tells
a story of an expedition which he led
into their country some years ago. No
white man had ever penetrated into it,
and several Mexican military expedi
tions had been beaten back.
As Mr. Fullerton’s party toiled up a
mountain track, they found piles of
boulders, placed across the path as a
sign that they were to 'advance no
further. But they went on, and pres
ently small stones began to drop from
the cliffs above in front of their mules
and horses. Ktlll they persisted, and
then larger rocks came down, and
nearer to them. They could hardly
catch a glimpse of the Indians, who
evidently had no wish to hsrm them,
but merely to turn them Mack. At
