London. June 28, 2 a. m.—The •sit
uation here is decidedly brighter and
the entire city seems to have caught
tlu; inspiration that the king is better.
Of course the deepest gloom is yet
to be seen in all quarters. At the
same time* that awful pall which for
several days has been hanging over
the city like a funeral dirge has dis
appeared, and the whole situation is
very much brighter. Just after mid
night the following official bulletin
was issued from the sick room:
“His majesty’s condition is in all
respects satisfactory. T.ie king has
had a comfortable day and has made
subitantial improvement.”
Leading medical experts all say
that the- crisis in the king's illness
may bo regarded as past.
The members of the government
now claim t'nat the royal surgeons
purposely avoided t'ne mention of the
temperature of the king in the pre
vious' bulletins for fear that faulty
deductions might have been made in
some sections.
The' operating table, bandages, and
m fact aJI the scA'ice used in the opcv
ration were removed from t'ne palace
this afternoon.
Tup attending physicians insist that
no weighty matters of state be sole
mitted to the king and (hoy arc sure
that all will be well.
It is now announced that anew
coronation day will be announced dur
ing t'ne course of a week’s time if
the condition of the king 'nobis out as
well as it is at. preset.
Fur tiler proof of the improvement
ef the king is found in the fact that
• nil, e Henry announces this after
ion In at he will return to his home
in Germany tomorrow morning. *
All in all the situation is in every
way brighter.

never heard of anyone painting an
advertisement jn the city hall or
hose cart, but if he will leave the
woods long enough and take a trip to
Atlanta, or any live town, he will
see tJie ad. or ads. or some live mer
chant on the city sprinkler. I have
visaed thei principal cities of the
United States, and have noticed it

that bodVV, held Thursday evening,
Patterson, Downing & Cos., through
Maj. C. Downing, filed a protest
against the collection of taxes on na
val stores belonging to companies,
while in course of transit.
Mr. Downing urged council to re
consider the matter irrespective of
any right to collect this tax. on the
ground that it was inexpedient to tdie
commerce of the port in this manner,
stating that Savannah and Jackson
ville were all fighting for all the bus.
iness that came to Brunswick, and
did not tax such commodities us na
val stores, lumber ties, etc.
The city assessors tn their return
for 1902 included about $300,000 of
this class of merchandise, and the
clerk of court was instructed by 1 coun
cil to enter it on the digest, against
t'ne respective owners. The tax, mere
fore, is a considerable item, oven
$4,200, and if the city attorney, to
whom the legal side of the question
was referred, gives his opinion that
it. is legal, litigation may lie expect
ed, as several of the owners have,
announced their intention of fight,
log it. It is understood council is di.
viilcd on the question; some holding
to the idea that if it is legal it would
he unjust to relieve them in discrim

Successor.
It is given out that Rev. J. B. Game,
pastor of the First Methodist church
in this city, has been elected to a
place ill the Central College, Missou
ri, and that he has accepted the
place. This means that he will
ive up the pastorate l here very soon,
sooner than was anticipated, since
lie is on liis fourth year and could
not nave remained here longer than
the first of December under the laws o
his church. It will bo recalled that he
came here when Rev. M. A, Mor
gan was appointed to the presiding
eldership of the Mcßae district to
fill out an unexpired term.
f Tliis announcement will carry sin
cet e regret to the many who compose
Hu' congregation of the First Church
as well as to hundreds of others who
have conic to know him well during
his faithful ministry in our city. Un
der his leadership the First Methodist
people have done a great deal of work
and the affairs of the church are
propnblyt in a more satisfactory con
dition now than they have been in a
long. time.
It is also announced that. Bishop
Candler has agreed to relieve Mr.
Game, at his request, and lias appoint
ed to this pastorate to fill out the un
expired term, the Rev. J. W. Malone,
recently president of the Woman’s
College, Oxford, Miss. Mr. Malone
' ecently resigned the presidency in
order to return to the pastorate, and
Bishop Candler has transferred him
here to fill this appointment until the
session of conference, Dec. 4. Mr.
Malone is a splendid preacher, and
the members of First Methodist
church arc to lie congratulated upon
securing so aide a man at this time
of the year. ,
It is not known exactly when the
change will take place, but it is
thought il will bo about the first of
August. _
It is generally. Known that Rev.
Mr, Game was a teacher before com
ing here, and it is not to lie wondered
at that, lie looks back toward' bis old
line of work. He was for some years
principal of a high school in Colum
bus, Ga., and then for some years
rector of the Cokesbury Conference
school in South Carolina. Immedi
airly before coining here he was pro
fessor of Latin and Greek l" r n o Wes
leyan Female College, in Macon, tie
is a graduate of several universities,
being M. A. of the University of
South Carolina, a M. Sc. of Erskine
College l , a M.A. and Ph. I), of tiie
lioriois Wesleyan University. i Be
sides these, he is a normal graduate
of the National Normal University,
Ohio, taking there, also, the degree
of M. A. All his college and uni
versity degrees were taken with the
highest honors, a record which but
few students are fortunate enough to
make.
The Central College to which he
goes is the Methodist, institution of
Missouri, and is the largest endowed
institution of the Methodist church
west of tiie Mississippi river. He
will not leave the conference or the
ministry, hut will transfer to the
Missouri conference and take a regu
lar appointment to the work of the
college.
it will interest some to know that
Bishop E. if. Hendrix. LI.. 1)., who
visited this city, last winter, is pres
ident of the hoard of curators of the
Central College.

A Card to the Public.
Editor Daily News.—l was greatly
surprised to see that any reasonable
or sane person should raise a kick
because my, ad. was placed on the
street sprinkler, t simply felt it
would be doing the city a favor to
have the rusty-looking old sprinkler
repainted and brightened up, and|
with tills end'in view I proposed to
have it done for the privilege of
placing my ail upon it. Any person
that has been away from Brunswick
can recall seeing the ad. of some en
terprising merchant upon the street
sprinkler in any city of importance.
Respectfully, ,
