The death of Mr.. Isaac w. England. for
many years the publisher of The New York
Sun, removes one of the master minds in the
formation of the great journals of the me-

The Sun, of whom Mr.. England was q part

Sun has maintained it's price, size and style
unchanged since 1t came under the manage

Cummings, its contemporaries have fire.
ouently made experimental changes In their
prices and charges for advertising.
In the announcement OF his death Tho Sun
said, SIN his death We lose the friend Of
almost o lifetime, a man Of unconquerable
integrity, true and faithful in oil things.
During 30 years that we have been contin-
ually associated with him, both as Journal
int and a man Of business, hc has never been
wanting in his duty toward his principles,
his friends, or the community In which he
lived. Born in England. he came to the
United States at an early age, and no native
Of this land was ever more thoroughly an
American. His heart was warm, his intelli.
gence was strong, his devotion to his convic-
tions and his obligations immovable. To loss
such man from among the living seems an
irreparable misfortune, and we bid hiEs fare

The new building which was but recently
dedicated is undoubtedly the finest CONNER
cial exchange in the country. 1t was built
almost entirely Of granite and iron at a cost
of 81, 100000. The height Of the tower is 323
feet above the street. 1t is tipped with a
weather vane in the shape Of full-rigged
schooner 0 feet long. The main hall in the
interior, like the exterior of the building, is
deceptive as regards size, owing to the mas
siveness of its proportions; this hall is 1866 by
I45 feet and 80 feet high. Across the hall at
the south end is a public gallery that will
accommodate 300 spectators, 1t would be
impos ible, in q limited article, to give any
adequate idea Of the grandeur of the struc,
ture itself, nor can any Judgment be formed
from first sight of the building, Like the
Brooklyn bridge, its immensity grows on

"sky-scrapers" that prevent one formin g by

A DEsPERATE NEGRO.
A Hutchinson Island Desperate In Jail
Awaiting Trial.

On April q negro named Randsom
Woodward stole a number of cabbages
from the truck farm OF Woodward Barn
well, on Hutchinson's island. Efforts
were made to have the thief arrested, not
only for his participation in the theft OF
the vegetables, but on account of num-
Der of other thefts with which be was said
to have been identified, aud because he
was generally regarded as desperate
and DANGEROUS character.
Few men were disposed to attempt his
arrest. The matter was yesterday
brought to the attention of Magistrate
Warning Russell, Jr., by Mr.. Barnwell,
and a warrant was issued. John Burke
was sworn in as a special constable for
the purpose of executing 1t. Burke
went over to the island and
met Woodward somewhat Unexpectedly,
when the latter was given to understand
that his presence was imperatively neces-
sary at Justice RusselPs court, and that
he would have to respond at once. Wood
ward eyed Burke closely as though he
we're trying to size him up, so to speak,
but finally concluded to accompany him.
In the court be admitted that he had been
to the penitentiary, but that his term had
expired. He was committed to Jail to
await trial.

What 1t Costs for "A Sunday Dinner
Prices in the Vegetable Stalls.
The rains which have visited the yicin-
ity of the city during the past ten days
have stimulated the growth of vegetables,
and the truck farmers appear to be in the
best OF spirits on account Of the prospect
of good return, in a pecu-
MARY sense, for their labor. The
different stalls in the market yesterday
were laden with a full supply Of the pro-
ducts OF the farm, which was being dis
posed of at reason able prices. Snap
beans and new irish potatoes were sold at
10 cents quart and at 40 cents a bushel:
lettuce at 40 cents per dozen; beets and
radishes at cents per bunch, and 90
cents per dozen punches; squash, cents
each, three for 10 cents, or one dozen for
40 cents; colerabi, 10 cents per bunch;
carrots, centG per bunch; cucumOers,
80 cents per dozen; English peas cents
per quart, 20 cents per peck and
81 per bushel. Egg plauts were
scarce and somewhat diminutiVe
in appearance, and were offered at the
rate of two plants for 10 cents. Among
the fruits, which were plentiful, were
blaekberries and strawberries, tine former
selling az cents per quart, while the
latter were selling at 10, 10 and - cents,
according to the size of the berry.
The market was also we'll stocked with

OPPOSING HIGHER RATES.
MIR. HAAS TO GO BEFORE THE
RAILROAD COMMISSION.


The Effect of An Increase of Rates On
the Grain and Flour Merchante-A Dis
crimInation Against Savannah in Favor
OF Mobile and New Orleans.
No formal meeting Of the Board of Trade
was held yesterday to take action on the
petition Of the railroad companies to the
Railroad Commissioners. IL is under
stood, however. that Mr.. /. q. Haas will,
at the suggestion Of several business men,
appear before the commission at Atlanta
on May rs. He will oppose the asked for
increase of rates on the ground that 1t
will injure the trade of Savannah to the
benefit of Alabama and Louisiana.
Some Of the business men think that
the railroads are doing an unwlse thing
in asking to have the fretghts increased
They say that il antagOhlzes them, and
intimate that it may result in
new outlet from this city, or else
a transfer of all the business possible TO
one road. Three-tourtbs Of the freight
brought TO Savannah by rail comes over
the central road, large per centage
coming from the West. Nine-tentns Of
this is carried from here by the savannah,
Florida and Western. Florida and the
southern and southwestern parts OF this
State are Savannah's chief customers.
NO anxiety Is IGlb concerning tue 0DIllJ
of dealers here to compete with those in
Macon, Atlanta and other Georgia
points for this trade. No matter what
the rates are, other places in Georgia will
be governed by the same regulations as
this city. Ii is from New Orleans and
Mobile that competition is feared.
Again, it is maintained that it is unfair
to charge person living 100 miles away
practically the same rates as one only 10
miles away. The latter pays more for bis
property. land being more valuable the
nearer 1t is to terminal point.
Since the spring OF 1882 rates on class
G, corn, wheat, -four and meal, have been
AZ cents per 100 pounds for the first 10
miles, 81 cents for 20 miles and l cent
additional for every additional 20 miles
up to 800 miles.
The intention of the COM
missloners was to prevent discrimina-
ton. There seems to be some misunder-
standing as to just what the railroads
want. One idea is that they desire to
double rates for distances less Than 100
miles from terminal points, with much
less advance for distances over 100 miles.
This, it is claimed, Will not only he dis
eliminating seriously against the patrons
of the roads who live WITHIN 100 miles of
Savannah, Macon, or Atlanta, but will
particularly affect those who ship goods
over the lines that have more than one
terminal point in the State. The Central,
for instance, claims Macon, Atlanta, Sa
yannah and Augusta as terminal points.
Several points Will be brought out at the
meeting which neither side wishes to
make public now.

History of "a Great Festival season of the
ChFisttan Church.

NnFiHttan GhurCh,
To-day is Whitsunday, festival Of the
church in cOmmemoratton Of the descent
Of the Holy Ghost upon the Apostles and
TIM nestowing upon them OF the gift Of
tongues. The event having occurred on
the day Of Pentccost. Wbitsunday is of
course intimately associated with that
great Jewish festival The Pentec0stal
feast was IN the early ages one of the
fayoTite seasons for administering bap-
tism; and as those who received it were
clothed in white TO symbolic the spirit
ual purity which baptism coniers, the day
acquired the name Of Whitsunday or
Whitsuntlde. Besides its religious OBJ
serYance in all ritualistIc churches, es'
pecialy the EpIsc0yalian and Roman
Catholic churches, it was formerly a PEE
riod Of great festivity in Europe. II was
one of the great festivals of the kings and
great chieftains in the medieval rO-
mances Ii was that especially on which
King Arthur OF England is represented as
holding his most splendid court. More
substantial mOnarchs than Arthur also
held Pentecost as one Of the grand fes-
rivals Of the year, and 1t was always
looked upon as the special season of
chIvalrous adventure OF tilt and tOurna-
ment.
The mystery, or miracle plays, OF which
so much is said in old chronicles, were
given on Whitsunday. The fret was writ
ten by German nun in the tenth century.
When they became more common two or
three centuries later the monks became
not only the authors but the actors OF
them. In the dark ages, when the Bible
was an interdicted BOOK, these manu-
scripts were devised to instruct people in
the Old and New Testament narra-
tves and the lives OF the saints.
Their value was much-disputed point
among churchmen, ana some of the older
councils forbade them as profane treat
ment OF sacred subjects. They were usually
performed in churches, but frequently in
the open air, in cemeteries, market
places and squares, and were gotten up at
a cost much exceeding the spectacles of
the modern stage.

Messrs. Abrahams & Birnbaum, the
we'll known clothiers. No. 1913 Broughton

The first story will be 10 feet in height
and the second 70 feet. The greater por-
ton of the front wall of the building will
be erected of iron and glass, and
will present a very handsome and
striking appearance. The inte-
rior of the structure Will be
ceiied with Georgia pine and furnished
with all the modern improvements and
conveniences suitable for establishments
engaged in business similar to that with
which Messrs. Abrahams Il Burnham are
identified. 1t is expected that the new
store will be ready for occupancy by Oc-
