THE ROYAL TRAVELLER.
Queen POmare's Impressions of Il
Rocky Mnnnfaina

When Queen Pomare, of Tahiti, reached
the Pacific shore again and was about to
sail for her native island, she unburdened
herself to a San Francisco Caller. OF
her trip through the Rocky Mountains she
said:
''To begin with, the trip across the
mountains and plains TO Chicago was the
most wonderful experience in my life.
The going on and on for day after day
through endless miles of scenery seemed
TO overpower me with the idea of dis
lance. Everything with us is so in minia-
ture, while everything here is so large
and grand. Our scenery is lovely, yours
is majestic. In all my life | will
never forget my feeling of littleness
whlle passing under those great peaks,
that looked like huge masses of frosted
silver; and then the plains, covered over
with snow, made me think all the time of
the great ocean frothed into foam by
passing hurricane and just at that in
slant made solid by some magic spell.
Strange to say, did not feel the cold at
all, either then or at any other time. In
New York the fOgs chilled me, and in
Paris | used to SILVER at times tor few
minutes after leaving the dinner table for
the open air, but / was not pinched by
the cold, as | dreaded to be after living all
my life in a mild climate. They tell me
1t would take at least two winters in your
frozen regions to thin out my warm island
blood. Were they joking with me, or is
1t true? | think you Americans are moth
ing but fiatterers.n

Was There Ever a Troy?
Eo,ag.,s1b+T,. D.


If an oral tradition has preserved the
fact of a real war, the Homeric poet might
have used it, but he might also have
altered or embellished it. The story, in
the shape in which we have ii, must be
considered as a poetic creation. The
romance of Charlemagne embOdies the
historical fact that an Emperor once ruled
Western Europe from the Elder to the
EbrO. 1t also departs from history in
sending Charlemagne on a crusade to
arose, crusade belonged to the ideal of
chlyalry. Analogy might suggest that an
Achaean Prince had once really held
position like that of Agamemnon; also,
that some Greek expedition to the Troad
had occurred, whether this Achaean
Prince had himself borne part in it or not.
Both differences are probable on other
grounds. Some memorable capture of
town in the Troad had probably been
made by Greek warriors; beyond this we
cannot safely go. Myth could deal with
oral tradition as freely as romance with
written history. Indeed, it would be
natural to expect that the liberties of
myth should be even holder than those of
romance, since the control was less defin-
lite. Pompeii was buried, and was redis-
covered. The difference between the case
OF Pompeii and the case of Troy is not
merely in the degree of the evidence, but
In the kind. That Pompeii ~ existed.
% existed there, are facts as well at
tested as any IN history. For Troy all the
evidence is, in its nature, only mythical.
1t depends on pOetical fancy blaying
around unwritten legend.

FIRE AMONG THE arILLINERY.

Krouskof's Wholesale Establishment
Damaged to the Amount of Several
Thousand Dollars.
A few minutes after II O'Clock last night
while patrolman Lee of the Burglar
Alarm Telegraph Company was making
his rounds he discovered smoke issuing
from the skylight and escapes of the build
ing on the northwest corner of Whitaker
and Congress street lane, occupied by s.
krOuskoff as a wholesale millinery estab-
lishment. Mr.. Lee ran to signal
box No. IA and turned in an
alarm. just before the gong struck
several parties in the neighborhOod
also discovered the smoke, and cry of
fire started the number of people who
were IN the streets, some doing their mar
keting, and an immense crowd quickly
blocked Up the streets surrounding the
burning building.
The fire department was on time, but
before stream could be placed on the fire
the entire roof was enYelOped in flames.
and great volumes of smoke were issuing
from the skylights and windows on the
four sides of the building. The roof being
so much higher than that of the adjoining
structures, the fire was confined to it alone.
It seemed to spread rapidly. but when
the department got to work it was soon
under CONTROL and was eXtinguished in
less than an hour. There was slight
damage to the building, and while the
stock was considerably damaged on the
upper floor, where the fire was located,
that on the two lower floors was we'll pre-
served.
Mr.. krouskOf expressed his thanks to
the tiremen for their valiant efforts. He
had a stock of between So, 900 and $23. 600.
on which there was $1,000 insurance in
the following agencies: $4,000 in the Sun,
represented by E. I. Harden; $1,000 with
G. A. ReitZe. and about 1900 in com
panies represented By c. g. Falligant.
The building belonged to the estate of
Richards, represented by r. r. Richards,
Esq. and is insured, but to what extent or
in whatagency could not be ascertained.
The damage to the building, it is said.
will approximate 81 900, and the damage
to the stock could not be estimated, but It
is thought to be proportionatelv light
The origin of the fire is unknown. 1t
began in the skylight nearest Congress
street lane, and the only theory advanced
is that the roof being Of tin and the
timber very dry it might have
ignited by combustion induced BY the
extreme heat. There were no lights left
burning in the store when Mr.. Krouskoff
closed up at O'Clock, nor was there any
smell Of smoke. Mr.. KrOuskOff was pre-
pairing for the fall business. which opens
IN July, and had considerable quantity
of trimmed and straw goods on the fiOOI
where the fire originated, which is wholly
DESTROYED

Editor Morning NeloS: We have in
our midst a lecturer of rare merit-Mr.
Gazaway Hartridge-and on the 22d inst.
he will make Savannah laugh when he
tells what he knows of ssThe Seamy Side
of Life'' at the theatre.
Mr.. Hartridge is brilliant man. This
lecture is a gem, and the public will go
away from the theatre fully compensated
for the money spent in securing tickets.
We should encourage home talent. Sa-
yannah Is now proud of Mr.. Harris, a
humorist known all over this country,
formerly assistant editor Of the MORNING
NEWS.
Mr.. Hartridge is a born humorist and
his friends who have heard him speak
know him as such; it will not be long be-
fore our community will recognize his
true value and will indOrse him TO lecture
elsewhere, as worthy of crowded houses.
He is willing to devote himself to the
aid of the Guards Armory fund, and
whatever ne makes will 90 to this worthy
object. This alone should insure him a
packed theatre on his opening night. Let
our people give him fair showing and go
to hear him once; afterwards they viii go
of their own accord.
The military of Savannah will certainly
back him up. VOLUNTEER.

THE LAST OF a NOTED VESSEL.
The Bark Elliott Richie" Abandoned
at Sea-Her History in Time of Peace

The Bark ''ElIiOtt Richie" Abandoned
at Sea-Her History in Time of Peace
and War.
"LoNDoS, May 14.-Bark Elliot Ritchie.
Perkins, from Brunswick March p, for Bue-
nos Ayres, has been abandoned at sea water
logged, and crew landed at Pernambuco."
Many who read the above in the marine
column of the MORNING NEWS yesterday.
viii be surprised to learn that the vessel
is the last Of the celebrated Federal
cruiser. Harriet Lane. She was named
after President Buchanan's niece, who
did the honors so gracefully at the White
House during that Presidents term of
Office. During the war she made
things lively for the blockade runners. Of
which there were many on this and the
Gulf coast. She was fast vessel under
both steam and sail. 1t will be remem-
bered that she was captured off Calves
ton. over which there was great rejoicing
She was carried into Havana as a prize
by Admiral Semmes, her engines were
taken out and she was converted into
a sailing vessel, bark-rigged, and was one
Of the fastest sailers ahoat. She was an
old trader at this port, and a complete
history Of her was published in the MORN
ING NEWS several years ago. At the
time OF her abandonment she was on
voyage from Brunswick, Ca, with a cargo
Of lumber bound for Buenos Ayres.
