GOOD WORK, WELL DONE.
The facts presented in the inter
view with Mayor Edward IT. Mason,
to which Thu Timka gives first page
prominence this morning, ought to be
very gratifying to the Brunswick tax
payer, regardless of political belief or
afli liation.
The wiping out of a lloating indebt
edness Is, Tint Timka takes it, one of
the very best directions in which ad
ministrative policy can shape itself.
To come into power, laced with the
problem of meeting $120,000 of debt,
and, under innumerable difficulties of
financial stringency and business
stagnation, to diminish that debt, in
three years, to $45,000, is something of
an achievement,, and merits all the
good t hings that can he said of it.
The present city administration lias
been grossly misrepresented in sever
al instances, and Mayor Mason shows
the utter inconsistency of such oppo
sition by his straightforward state
ment, and Tiik Timka is glad to give it
to the public, not only for the reason
that good work always deserves com •
mendation, but also because this pa
per was a strong supporter of Mayor
Mason and his ticket in their candi
dacy, and is gratified to see how well
they are carrying out their pledges.
GIVE US A SHOW
The attempt to make political cap
ita! out of Governor Atkinson’s visit
to Savannah on St. l’atrick’s Day, is
one that reflects great credit upon the
ingenuity of the Constitution, which
in a recent issue says:
The presence of Fleming du Biguon
in the corridor of the Knuball sug
gested the discussion among a crowd
of wellknown politicians yesterday
mat Savannah might oiler two candi
dates for governor at the next elec
tion. It is a political axiom that du-
Hignon will be in the shuffle. His
stock has been on the market for
many months. During the last few
weeks the prophets have pointed to
Mayor I’eter Meldrira, and to assure
this prophecy they are showing t.p a
series of circumstances which they
think go to show that the mayor is
grooming himself for the run. To
support the prediction they call at
tention to the program arranged for
the reception of Governor Atkinson
in Savannah. There are others, of
course, but the probability of two Sa
vanu&h candidates will make the race
gingerly.
There will probably be considerable
patriotism and eloquence, together
with some natural indigestion, at Sa
vannah's St. l’atrick’s Pay banquet;
but the political death's head will
hardly be employed to remind the ass
sembled guests that the Held ot poli
tics contains 100 graves to one otliee.
There is, however, no good reason
why the next governor should not be
one whose youthful feet have brushed
away the morning dew trotn the wire
grass. Both north and middle Geor-
gia have had their turn at this favor
ite son business, and too many years
have chased themselves into ancient
history since the southern tier of
counties have hart an opportunity to
pour any of the genius and talent
that is their distinguishing character
istic, into the gubernatorial mould.
We are not envious, but give us a
show. We don’t want the earth, but
if the world revolves upon its own
axis, let it come our way once in a
while.
SUNDAY THOUGHTS
[From liishop Phillips Brooks’ Year Book.]
Man is made so that some sense of
criticalness is necessary to the most
vigorous and best life always. Let me
feel that nothing but this moment de
pends upon this moment’s action and
f am very apt to let this moment act
pretty much as it will. Let me ee the
spirits of the moments yet unborn
standing and watching it anxiously
and I must watch it anxiously for
their sakes.
Daughters of time, the hypocritie Days,
Mnfiled and dumb, like barefoot dervishes
And marching single in an endless tile,
Bring diadems and fagots in their hands.
To each they oiler gifts after his will,
Bread, kingdoms, stars and sky that holds them
all.
I, in my peaceful garden, watched the pomp,
Forgot my morning wishes, hastily
Took a few herbs and apples, and the Day
Turned and departed silent. I, too late,
Under the solemn HUet saw the scorn.

SHE MARRIED A VAGRANT.
An Old Crone Persuaded Her, but Her
Parents Took Her Away.
A pretty member of one of the best
families in Orangeburg, S. 0., has mar
ried a vagrant just out of the alms
house and gives as a reason for her con
duct that the man’s mother, a fortune
teller, persuaded her that death would
soon claim her if she did not marry the
Son of the old cronc.
Eva Easterlin was the name of the
unfortunate girl, Jim Courtney being
her husband. The couple went to the
residence of Justice Brinson and asked
to bo married, Courtney representing
Miss Easterlin as a factory hand from
an adjacent cotton mill. They were
married and proceeded to the shabby
room where Courtney had been living.
But the honeymoon of tiie ill matched
pair was of short duration. The parents
of the girl, hearing that their daughter
had been scon with Courtney, quickly
ascertained the truth, and, giving
chase, found their daughter and took
her home. When Courtney appeared on
the streets, he was met by ugly looks
from citizens, so he left town afoot.
It was thought, the young woman had
lost her mind, and her explanation of
the reasons and fears which influenced
her marriage indicates that her reason
was impaired.
An effort will probably be made to
get the legislature to annul the mar
riage, but there is no precedent, and it
is unlikely that it will be done now.—

A GREAT MAN.
The Small Boy Only Wanted to Shake
Hands Witli Corbett.
The following is a touching story of
ono of our great men—James J. Cor
bett. During his recent theatrical en
gagement in Chicago he came out of the
Lincoln theatre, one night. His cab was
waiting across the street.
“Here,” he said to the crowd of
small boys who always waited to get a
look at him. “Run over and see what’s
the matter with my cabman. ’ ’
The boys ran in a flock and then came
back breathless, all speaking at once, to
say that the cab would be over iu a mo
ment.
“Here’s a nickel,” said tho pugilist
actor, giving one of the hoys a coin.
“I went, too,” exclaimed another
boy.
Corbett gave him a nickel.
“So did I,” said a third boy.
“Well,” exclaimed Corbett, “I don’t
know whether I have any more nick
els. ” He found one, however, and gave
it to the youngster.
“I went, too,” cried a smaller boy
behind the others.
“Well,” said Corbett, “let mo—see
—if—l’ve got”—
“I don’t want a nickel, mister,” in
terrupted the lad. “I just want to
shake hands. ’ ’
“What,” Corbett exclaimed, “is that
all? Well, you’re all right, you are.
There’s my hand, and here’s something
else,” and he gave the boy a half dol
lar.—Chicago Record.
OLDEST MAN ON EARTH.
Jt-Niig Campeche of Mexico Declared Me
Was 154 Years of Age.
The oldest man on earth, if the story
he told, and which was corroborated by
other testimony, is true, was buried at
Guadalajara, Mexico, the other day. Je
sus Campeche declared that he was 154
years old. He said that he was born in
Spain in 1743 and came to Mexico when
he was 34 years old. He was living
with his great-great-grandson and had
copies of tile church register at Valla
dolid, Spain, showing the date of liis
birth and baptism.
The papers are genuine, and they
rightfully belonged to him. He was
born Dec. 13, 1743. He related incidents
which occurred in the last century, in
dicating that he either told the truth oi
had stored his mind well with happen
ings of that time. A priest iu the
church which he attended, who is now
84 years old, says he remembers Cam

FOR A GIANT TRUST.
It Ik Alleged That the tireatest Combina
tion of the Age Ik Contemplated.
A special to the Chicago Post from
Pittsburg says:
“The reported visit to this city of
President Gates of the Illinois Steel
company is regarded by the iron men as
a matter of the very highest importance
and as confirmatory of a report which
has been in circulation among the heavy
capitalists of the iron industry for some
days past that a combination is in prog
ress of formation for the organization
of tlie greatest industrial trust of mod
ern times.
“The story goes that Messrs. Carnegie,
Rockefeller and J. Pierpont Morgan
have in view a gigantic monopoly for
the control of the iron producing inter
ests of the United States. It is a fact
not generally known that the control of
the Illinois Steel company has lodged
in the house of J. Pierpont Morgan for
the last year, a syndicate represented by
him having acquired the holdings of
the Scotch and Massachusetts capital
ists, which gave them a majority of the
stock and bonds of tho company.
“Control of this great company was
obtained at a very low figure, owing to
the hard times and shrinkage in busi
ness, but the men who put their money
into the concern have unlimited capital
and are well prepared to stand any kind
of a ‘sweat,.’
“Rockefeller, Morgan and Carnegie
were in an alliance with half a dozen or
more smaller concerns in various indus
trial centers and felt that they were be
ing handicapped by the partnership.
“All at once this great iron producing
combination went to pieces, and the
heavy concerns proceeded to mark prices
down 25 and 35 per cent, making enor
mous contracts with railroads and other
consumers at figures that were simply
paralyzing to the smaller concerns.
Within a period of three days it has be
come evident that tho fight is one
which will end in ‘the survival of the
fittest, ’ and it is now plain to the world
that concerns that are not very strong
will, in the course of time, have to go
to the wall or suffer themselves to be
absorbed by the heavyweights.
‘ ‘lt is a ‘freeze out game’ pure and
simple, and that is what tho iron inter
ests and the bankers of Pittsburg believe
to be under way now in tive iron field. ”
QUEER LODGEROOM.
rnderground Chamber Used by a Seeret
Society In Tennessee.
Ono of tho strongest and most re
sourceful lodges of the Independent Or
der of Odd Fellows in the state of Ten
nessee is Gap Creek lodge, No. 72,
which has for its lodgeroom a large
cave in Carter county, eight miles east
of Johnson City. So facinating is the
home of this lodge that some members
of the order in nearby towns have trans
ferred their membership to it.
Gap Creek lodge has been holding its
meetings in this cave for more than a
year, having rented the subterranean
chamber from its owner, Dr. Nathaniel
Hyder. The lodge lias a membership of
75, which includes many of the best
men in Carter county.
This strange lodgeroom is located in
•an elevated strip of woodland. The en
trance to it faces the east, and on ap
proach it presents a somber appearance,
might be considered typical of
mysteries that are known only in the
hearts of the faithful members of the
great secret order. From tho entrance
it is 12 feet down an incline stairway to
the first chamber—tho anteroom. This
chamber is 14 by 18 feet, and has been
provided with all the necessary equip
ments to m;ike it a desirable room in
which to prepare candidates for initia
tion into tho order. To the rear of this
chamber is an opening, and 12 feet far
ther down, on an angle of 45 degrees,
is the lodgeroom proper. This chamber
is 18 by 00 feet. The walls are almost
perpendicular to a height of 8 feet.
While, when viewed through the en
trance from without, these chambers
present a dark and mysterious appear
ance, light is nevertheless so reflected
from the outer entrance as to penetrate
both chambers, so illuminating the
lodgeroom that no artificial light is re
quired by day.—St. Louis Globe Dem

MRS. STANFORD’S GIFT.
Stanford University Will Own Her Resi
dence In San Francisco.
Mrs. Jane L. Stanford at the annual
meeting of trustees of Stanford univer
sity added to her gifts by announcing
that she had deeded to the university,
to take effect at her death, the Stanford
residence at Pine and Powell streets,
in San Francisco, with all its contents.
The house is one of the finest in Califor
nia. It was yery carefully built, and
the materials were selected from various
parts of the coast. It contains some of
the finest specimens of California mar
bles and onyx, as well as examples of
all the native woods.
The art gallery has many valuable
pictures, and much of the bric-a-brac is
unique. The collection is rich in Chi
nese and Japanese curios. The house
and lot are valued at $250,000, and the
furnishings at $750,000. Mrs. Stanford
made an address to the trustees, insist
ing upon the necessity of economy in
the management of this great educa
tional trust. It was decided to reduce
the number of trustees from 24 to 15,
and to make their terms ten years in
tsfi ad of life.
Congress Ma<lo a Queer Blunder.
A curious illustration of the extreme
ly loose business methods of congress
was furnished in the senate the other
day. Mr. Vest reported back from the
committee on commerce a house bill
which had been referred to that com
mittee, and stated that the same bill
precisely had passed both houses at the
present session, had been approved and
signed by the president and was now
law. The bill authorized the construc
tion of a bridge across the Columbia
river, in the staH of Washington.
FACTS AND FANCIES.
Lucky and Unlucky Wedding Days—Cloth
and Velvet Costume.
Twilled flannel is less apt to shrink In
washing than the plain kind. Before mak
ing flannel into garments it is always best
to dip it in warm water containing a little
soap. This shrinks it and makes it less
apt to “full’’ later on. It is said that the
best way to wash flannels is to put potatoes
in the water. The potatoes must be peel

with the paste until they are clean, rinsed
In warm water and then in cold. They
must be pulled lengthwise and dried as
quickly as possible. Exposure to sulphur
vapor will keep them white, and that is
the method employed by professional clean
ers.
Among the Innumerable superstitions
connected with weddings there is one that
asserts that certain days are unlucky ones
upon which to begin a matrimonial career,
while certain others are fortunate. The
favorable days are, of course, those which
it is most desirable to know. They are

The latest enemy of the corset is tho X

this cherished article of attire. Everybody
is horrified at the revelations made by the

FASHION’S FANCIES.
Enamel Watches of-Various Colors—Cos
tumes For Fancy Dress Ball.
Among the fashionable fancies in jewel
ry is the four leaved clover. This has come
to the front again after having retired into
tho background from the point of view of
fashion. It is made in all sorts of jewels
as well ns in gold, silver and enamel, but
the newest Idea is the real clover leaf itself,
protected by glass like a miniature and
surrounded by diamonds, turquoises, gar
nets, rubies or sapphires.
Watches incased in enamel, blue, green,
red or black, are among the pretty things
worn by wealthy women who can afford to
change watches as they change gowns.
These watches are usually fastened to tho
bosom of the dress by a flower-de-luce of the
same enamel, although sometimes they are
worn attached to a lorgnette chain studded
with jewels.
Chatelaines seem to be coming Into vogue
again. Avery elaborate gold one was seen

too strong to seem quite in accord with a
delicate, cultivated nineteenth century
woman. One is irresistibly reminded of
the African belle, with her jangling bits of
metal shaped by primitive Instruments.
These ornaments which servo a use—gir
dles, brooches, buckles and combs—have a
valid excuse for being. Those which defino
the customs of tho body—necklaces, brace
lets, fillets and rings—arc also not only par
donable, but desirable, but those which
are simply an excuse for spending money,
which have no relation to tho human
form and no use in holding the clothing
together, do not seem to be in tlie best,
taste, for the best taste is like the best
manners in being tho simplest and most
appropriate.
A picture is given of a naiad’s costume
for a fancy dress ball. The skirt is of
white crepe de chine embroidered with gold
and yellow. Over this is draped a tunic
of water green gauze having interwoven

DRESSMAKING HINTS.
How to Enlarge a Bodice—To Put* In
Whalebones.
The princess gown has anew lease of life
for ceremonious occasions. It has a train,
of course, and is in great favor for bridal
costumes.
The bodice of tho present moment, in
spite of its apparent seamlessness, its shir
rings, pullings, plaitings lengthwiso and
horizontal, and Its blouse effects, is really
very close. It has a tight lining upon
which all the fullness is carefully arranged;
otherwise it would be baggy and shapeless.
If a bodice has become too tight, it
should not be enlarged by adding anything
in the middle of tho front, as this displaces
tho darts. It is hotter to cut anew under
arm piece, making it wide enough to give
the necessary enlargement to the bodice.
The whalebone used In boning a dress—
and real whalebone Is superior to any of
the substitutes now offered, as it adjusts
itself to tho figure—should be neither thick
nor stiff. It ought to bo very pliable and
