Nix. KRESE. one Of the most prominent
mAnipulators in Wall street, Is, It Is said,
organizing a telegraph company Ia OPPOSE
ton to Jay Gould's consolidated Western
Union. The Western Union Company
now has the entire telegraph business Of
the county in lie hands; and the vast
amount Of It's capital stock, exceeding
several times the cost Of the construction Of
lis Iines, upon which 1t must pay dividends,
will place 1t at an immense disadvantage
with a competing company. Unjust either
keep up its rates or else 1t cannot pay the
dividends. A new company, on the other
hand, paying dividends only on the
amount OF capital actually invested, could
cut rates mich lower than the Western
Union without materially imparing its
strength. Moreover, the wonderful i'm
provement in the mechanical Sppli'
anCss Of recent years for tele'
graphing has made the establish
ment OF a new line very much easier.

to influence the stock marke. than to ben.
eft the public. The command Of the new
company would not only give Mr.. Keene
the control Of the new stock, but would
largely place the stock Of the Western
Union ut his mercy, and then 1t is not at
all probable that the new company would
be continued as q separate entity for a
longer time than was necessary for Mr.,
Gould and Mr.. Kesne to form q pool. II
will be remembered that this was some.

Gould himself with the American Union,

Opening OF the Spring Meeting OF
the Jockey Club-Ffne Races. But
Poor Attendance.

The spring meeting OF the Savannah
Jockey Club opened yesterday with very
unfavorabIe weather and the additional dis
advantage incident to the excitement Of the
municipal election. The day was raw and
disagreeable, with threatening rain, but
nevertheless there was a small representa-
ton Of the fair sex, though the entire at
tendance was rather meagre. Those
present were, however, well repaid for
their attendance, as the racing was excel
lent. 1t was not to'be expected under the
circumstances that there would be big
crowd, and there was even surprise ex-
pressed that the attendance was as large.
The following was the result of the days

Obstruction of the Park Extension

Obstruction of the Park Extension.
Editor Morning NeaOs: At this season of
the year each Southern city endeavors to
set forth its attractions for Northern
tourists, and Savannah displays hers In
railroad, hotel and steamship advertise
ments. Our numerous parks, our suburban
drives and our historic associations are only
magnihed.
Our visitors will find that these attrac-
tions of Savannah are not exaggerated Ia
these advertisements. A stroll up Bull
street to Forsyth Park offers new beauties
and objects of interest at every step. The
view from the Pulaski monument to the
Park fountain is familiar to every one who
has opened an illustrated guide book.
Passing beyond the fountain, and glane-
ing down the continuing avenue Of lofty
trees, the eye rests on the statue which
crowns the Confederate monument. 1t l.
but natural that the stranger, leisurely
taking his morning walk, perhaps with
memories of Italy, Germany and France
still green in his mind, should desire to ex-
anime still closer this monum ent, of which
we all are so proud.
The beautiful walk up Bull street, not to
be excelled In any street Of the same
length In the South, is terminated By reek-
ing mass of wet and damaged cotton,
covering the southern half of the park ex-
tension. From the midst of the CHASTITY
scene rises dilapidstcd old shed, festooned
with tattered bagging tluttering in the wind.
AS the Northern tourist, gathering i'm
pressions by the way of our Southern land
and people, leans pensively against the en-
closure aud looks first at the monument, a
votiVe offering of womanly devotion to the
Lost Cause, and then at its surroundings, he
will form his own opinion of the city adj
ministration that authorized this pollution
of an almost sacred spot.
May the Goddess Of Liberty, or whatever
divinity presides over the political machine
that manufactures our Aldermen, inspire
the man who turns the crank to grind US
out lot that will either know or care some
thing about the tasteful appearance, or, at
least, the cleanliness Of our only public
promenade. Rus IN URBE.

Q. Would you be good enoigh to state

A. am physician, sir, and Professor Of
Physiology.
Q. You also were, and have been for some
time, Sanitary Superintendent in Brooklyn
lis not that so?
A. / have, sir.
@. Now, sir, / viii ask you your opinion,
from this experience, whether the use of
alum with soda, in baking powder, is inju-
rious or not, In its physiological effects?
A / consider It to be dangerous.
Q. You examined this question for the
Board Of Health in Brooklyn, some years
ago, did you not?
A. Two years ago, sir, in December.
BIZ the Court:
Q. What was the result of your investiga-
ton as to the use of alum in baking pow
der?
A. The result of my investigation at that
time was this: that the changes which took
place between the time that alum baking
powder was put in the bread, and the time
the bread was eaten, the chemical changes
were so little understood by chemists, that
as physician and Psychologist, / consid-
cred it q dangerous experiment.
DR.. Mott, the government chemist, In his
review of the subject In the Scientific Anaeg.i-
can, makes special mention of having
analysed the Royal Baking Powder, and
found it composed Of pure and wholesome
materials. He also advises the public to
avoid purchasing baking powders as sold
loose or In bulk, as he found by analyses OF
many samples that the worst authorizations
are practiced In this form. The label and
trade mark of we'll known aud responsible
manufacturer, he adds, is the best protec-
ton the public can have.

The Theatre.

A fair audience filed the Theatre last
evening, the occasion Of the presentation
of the new drama "Ten Thousand Miles
Away" by Oliver Doud Byron's Combina-
ton. The drama is the sequel Of "Across
the Continent" but is stronger play, pos
sessing an excellent and well devised
plot, and many thrilling situations.
The entire company were at their best, and
the presentation of the drama gave general
satisfaction, as was attested by the frequent
and hearty applause. The specialties that
are introduced are far above the average,
and the best that have been given in this
city in some time. We commend the CON-
pany as deserving of the patronage Of the
theatre going public.
The matinee In the afternoon was also
very well attended, considering the weather
and the election excitement.

GENERAL DISAPPOINTMENT

was expressed at the result, as this heat
ended the race, owing to the unfortunate
| sulking of Athos. Col. Ovens made the
announcement that according to the rules
of the club in mile heats, where horse
winning the first heat was Gistanced in the
second, that the horses that had not won
heat or had made a dead heat were ruled
out, and consequently this heat closed the
race. 1t would be necessary, however, for
Nero to go around the track to complete
his second heat. This was done, and the
declaration was made that King Nero had
won the race.
