Blankets and similar goods were
reduced so per cent. and the interests of
wool growers and manufacturers were
recognized. He had rather explain why
he voted for the bill, by the simple decla-
ration that it reduced taxation $4,000, 900,
than to have to answer questions why he
voted against it.

yeas, 152; nays, 116. The announcement
was greeted with applause and the bill now
only awaits enrolment, and the signatures
of the presiding officers of the house, to

Then after fifteen minutes spent in vain
effort to accomplish any further business,
the house took recess.
The usual "a last night" assemblage
thronged the corridors of the house this
evening and standing room even was at
premium in the galleries. The doors lead
ing to the galleries were filed by patient
crowd waiting for an opportunity to OBJ
tain seat left vacant by some departing
spectator, and to look its last upon the
Forty-seventh congress.
A proposition made by Mr.. Belford to
have the families of members admitted to
the floor met with objection. There IS a
large attendance of members.
Many, with favorite bills in hands, clam
ored for recognition, but the printing COM
mittee was accorded the floor, and several
joint resolutions passed for printing vari-
Gus public documents. A committee of
conference was ordered on the deficiency
appropriation bill.
The house proceeded to the considera-
! ton of contested elections. Lee VS..
! Richardson, First district South Carolina.
| Discussion ran on for an hour and half
without any one paying. attention to the
| speakers, whose voices were drowned by
| the buzz of conversation in the galleries
and louder shouts of laughter from numer-
GUS groups of members on the floor of the
| house. The reporters gallery was thrown
open for the accommodation of the fami-
lies of the representatives.
| The call disclosed the presence of 250
members and further proceedings were
| dispensed with, but on the question of the
| election case, again, no quorum voted.
Another call was had and once more a
quorum answered to their names. AT
| 1890 motion for a recess until 10
o'clock tomorrow, was lost.
The contestant, MIR. Lee, slightly built
mulatto, with good voice and fluent de-
livery, was accorded fifteen minutes to
speak in his own behalf. He was warmly
applauded by the Republican members.
At this point Mr.. Hiscock submitted a
conference report on sundry civil appro-
priation bill, announcing disagree ement
The report was agreed to and further con-
ference ordered. The election case was
resumed, Mr.. Richardson submitting his
claim in brief speech. The vote was
then taken on the minority resolution, as
substitute for 1.-THE majority resolution
declaring Lee entitled to seat, and they
were adopted, yeas, 124; nays, ia.
There was a good deal of indignation
manifested among the Democrats at this
result of the vote, as it was the first time
this session when the resolutions of a ma
iority of a committee have been voted
down, and Democratic members were free
in their denunciation of what they claimed
was an attempt to put $10,O00in the pock
cts of the contestant. The majority
of the committee reported resolution
giving the contestant leave to withdraw
his papers without prejudice, the effect Of
this being to confirm Richardson's righ
to his seat. The report was signed BY
Calkins, Miller, Jones, Tenn, Paul, B-lzt

The Albany Neles: 1.-THE success at
tending the Sesqui-Centennial celebration
in Savannah appears to make Atlanta a
little jealous, at least one might infer as
much from the two editorial paragraphs
copied below from the Constitution. The
idea of any town IN Georgia having big
occasion that Atlanta will not have
chance to rival in sixty years to come!
1t might, however, manage to get up
something in the nature of tin wedding
i'm the meantime. We suggest the next
anniversary Of Joe Browns birthday as
fit occasion for Atlanta to show what she
could do with an affair of the kind on her
hands:
"'Atlanta's centennial will be eele-
brated in 1919, or Whereabouts. The young
crackers who are now tOddling around on
stick horses will be over go years old, but
they will be able to aid the new generation
in pouring seventeen FOurths of July and
twenty-seven Christmases into one red
hot mould.
Just think of it-Savannah was an
old woman before Atlanta was bOrn.'"

Glorious Fun.

OF all the shows of the Sesqui-Centen-
NAL the biggest sight was to see the crowd
grabbing clothing thrown from the roof of
the Famous New York Clothing House.
Some thought our advertisement was a
hoax and stayed away, thereby missing
the greatest sight of the Centennial. The
most comical minstrel performance is not
to be compared with it. Men laughed
until they couldn't laugh any more. The
righteousness of the scene can hardly be
described. One lady declared that she
laughed so much that it cured her dys-
pepsia.
The next sensation by the Famous"

time we have plenty of good clothing left,
which we offer so very cheap that it is al
most like giving them away, Famous"

Horsford's Bread Preparation

is the strongest and best baking powder
made. Its active principle is Horsford's
Acid Phosphate in powdered form. AS is
well known, the phosphate of lime is an
essential constituent of all grains, and is
an important nutritive principle and in
dispensable element in the construction
of all the animal tissues. In the process
of boiling fine wheat flour, large portion
of the phOsphates are lost, This baking
powder restores them, and thus renders
biscuit, bread and pastry made with it
perfectly healthy and nutritious. 1t con-
tains no alum or any harmful ingredient,
but is positively the most economical and
healthy baking powder that can be used.

Professor CrOmwoII's Art Entertain

Professor CrOmwelFs Art Entertain
ments.
The citizens of Savannah have an oppor-
tunity which is seldom presented OF
witnessing an entertainment at once
recherche, pleasing and aesthetic, and by
their presence and delight at two ex-
hibitions given by Professor George R.
Cromwell of his art entertainments ON
Thursday and Friday evenings OF tours
i'm foreign lands, usually and orally illus
trated. have shown just appreciation OF
an exhibition at once eXaltlng IN It's
character as well as beautiful In It's VISUAL
effects.
Last night the subject of his illustra-
tions was London, the Great City OF the
World. with its glowing memories, its
grand pictures Of wealth and power and
strength in the realms of art, science and
material progress. Both orally, in its de-
scriptions and usually in the manipula-
ton of the science which rendered the
views perfect, the exhibition furnished
rare fund of enjoyment to the crowd OIL
interested spectators. We say in truth,
that no exhibition that has ever visited
Savannah has rendered so much enjoy
ment to the cultivated taste OF an
enlightened community for so
little money and time spent
i'm witnessing it, The views of London
were capital: the Tower, the murky
Thames, st. PauPs Cathedral, the Parlia-
ment buildings, the Bank of England, the
byways and highways, the Crystal Palace,
and the various monuments of the past
were beautifully exhibited and delight
fully illustrated and described by the
Professor. The beautiful picture, ''Sim-
ply to Thy Cross | Cling" was worth the
money paid to see an excellent and es-
thetic display of taste well worthy large
patronage.
The Professor will give matinee at 3
O'Clock this afternoon, and will illustrate
and explain his tour around the world,
and we trust he will have full house.
At night he will exhibit paris, the Beau
tiful City, and we predict for him a large
audience to witness his inimitable picture
and hear his interesting descriptions.

why the Governor Didn't Address the
COIOred Citizens.

COlOred Citizens.
The announcement that Governor Steph-
ems would address the cOlOred citizens of
Savannah at the Second African Baptist
Church yesterday afternoon drew out
crowds of people, and by 2 O'Clock, the
hour fixed for the speech, several hundred
citizens had gathered in the street in front
of the church, waiting for His Excellency
10 appear. After waiting for half an
hour. and no indication of an adj
dress or the opening of the church
doors, which had remained closed,
the crowd grew impatient and
began to wonder at the cause OF the nom
appearance of the Governor, and why the
edifice was not opened, when ii was am
pounced that there would be no address.
Some excitement prevailed among the col
Ored population, and it was understood
there was a misunderstanding between
the committee having in charge the ar
rangements for the occasion and the
Church officials. The following commu-
nicatiOn may possibly throw some light
upon the matter:
Editor Morning NelCS: We regret that
the public were disappointed yesterday
by not seeing the Second African Baptist
church. Rev, Ellis, pastor, open to Gov
ernOr stephens. 1t was on account OF the
ignorant negroes, and the ignorance OF one
Joshua Williams and other negroes of that
Church, who say that as the Governor did
not speak on Thursday as he promised,
that they would not allow the church to
be opened yesterday Friday. Now, Mr..
Editor, am as much at loss as the Gov
ernor was disappointed. Hundreds of white
citizens were also disappointed through
an ignorant set Of negroes. The
Second African Baptist Church have
a large number of afflicted people ana aged
negroes that are begging from door to
door in this city, supported entirely by the
white citizens, 1t is said that they had
other business in the church, which state
ment find TO be false. And it is only on
account of the Governors inability to
speak Thursday that the edifice was
closed. The church is in the hands OF a
few ignorant negroes called a Church
Committee Mr.. Lay eXcepted). Now,
Mr.. Editor, let those people of the church
take care Of their old aged members, as
we do respectfully denOunce them in the
future. We do not have reference to the
good members. but we speak of those
who compose the Church Committee.
