Editor Morning Ne1gs: DEAR SIR
take pleasure in informing you that l
have returned from my trip to New York.
OF course, took in the big show at Wash
ington and had hearty handshaAe with
with our Democratic President. The
show was the biggest thing that ever
took place in the history of our country,
and was the means of squirting me on to
getting up little show Of a somewhat diff
ferent nature for the people Of Savannah.
l think l have succeeded, and now
invite my customers and the public
generally to my store TO witness it..
They will gaze with ASSIGNMENT at
the large and carried selection OF the
finest made Clothing eUer placed Gnder
one root IN this citq; nothing shOddy, nor
cheap trash to fill the store up with, but
the choicest, aelCeSt, nO6bieSt and most Sc
lect patterns and styles. l will not quote
prices, nor say that my place is the cheap
est, etc., but merely say that L have a
treat for all regarding prices, and
extend an invitation to all, whether ready
to buy or merely to look around. My
usual large assortment of Hats and Gents
Furnishing Goods can't be surpassed.
Dear Mr.. Editor, you will place me I'M
der many obligations by Informing the
public of these facts. Respectfully yours,
SIMON MITCHELL, 159 Broughton street,

"Recollections of Egypt was the sub
iect of an interesting lecture delivered by
Rev. J. f. L. Holmes, pastor of the Bap-
tist Church, last night. The topic is
one Of especial interest at this time. Mr..
Holmes prefaeed his lecture by explain
ing that be did not travel in Upper Egypt
when abroad, as at that time as well as
now it was not safe place to visit He
travelled from Naples 10 Alexandria by
sea. After a graphic description OF Ma
ples and its famous bay he prooeeded
with description Of Alexandria.
When a traveller, he said, arrives
there, il is hard for him to reallze that
he is In city that runs back IN history
four centuries before the Christian era.
Over 200 years before christ the version
of the Scriptures known as the Septuas
cent was translated there. The city was
visited by Caesar, Antony, the Scipios and
Pompev. and was the home of the bril-.
liant but dissOlute Cleopatra. The old
water mines are said to belong to the Ro-
man period. The principal business
houses are on the public square, in
which is a monument TO the great
cOnquerOr, Mahomet All. Inc trouole
commenced with him. After conquerIng
Egypt he sent his army into the soudan
to subdue the tribes there, which they
accomplished. His descendants followed
his example and held ON TO the country,
ont while Ali conquered it to satisfy his
ambition, his successors did so 10 satisfy
their avaTice, and their oppression caused
the people to rebel.
he then described Alexandria and the
seeuerV around it. Everything in the
East. he said, appears at its best. The
flowers OF the same varieties found here
arc larger. vet more DELICATE and more
hIgblv perfumed. In Egypt every
thing is cultivated. and that by
IRRIGATION. Where the water Of the Nile
is not carried everything is barren. He
described the gardens and streets of
Alexandria, but he considered the people
the most interesting subject OF all. Inc
best place 10 study them, as well as the
products of the country, IS the market:
4 Alexandria be characterized as d Guy OF
lie East, with a spFinkling of the West:
There can be seen the European, Arab,
Egvptian, Turk and Nubian-persons oil
an shades of color and from all countries.

ple dress according 10 their rank, some

The reverend speaker next took his au-
dience to Cairo. The distance, he said,
from Alexandria along the valley of the
Nile by rail is $50 miles. The scenery
along the route is poor. For 100 miles no
hills can be seen, and there is little Vege-
tatiOn and few trees. The dust IS almost
unbearabIe, and is reminder OF the time
when Moses threw up the dust Win such
disastrous results to the ewes of the Egyp-
tians, There are few villages along the
route, the houses being made OF Nile mud.
The people are In q more pitiable condl-
ton than any people on earth who pro-
fess TO be civilized. North Of Cairo the
Nile branches and forms the Delta, which
is the richest piece of land on the globe.
The Nile above the delta is half a
mile wide and the valley about s miles
broad. Water Is dipped out of the river
with buckets and poured into the numer-
There is no rainfall, and the people are
entirely dependent on the Nile for every
thing. If it rises 30 feet at Cairo every
thing is ruined by the flood; if it does not
rise "a feet there is a famine. Sowing
and reaping are going on all the time, and
grain, vegetables, fruits, tobacco, cotton,
and, in fact, everything, is raised.
The speaker next described Cairo
its fine gardens, elegant houses.
and various interests, and gave
an interesting description of a
visit to the pyramids. He is confident
they were built for tombs, and for nc
other purpose, and cited as proof the fact
that they are near the great burying
grounds. he also believes the places that
now make steps on the sides Of the great
pyramid were once filed with stones and
cemented over, making a smooth surface
and that the stones have been removed
for building purposes. The lecturer was
listened to throughout with the closest
attpnriOn

there would not have been standing room
for those who would have desired to hear
him. He was in Columbus yesterday
and is to deliver an address IN Augusta

will be announced tomorrow or Monday,
however, at what hour his reception will

AnInteresting Decision.

In the Superior Court yesterday the
remitter Of the Supreme Court in the case
Of John Grehan VS.. the Watertown Fire
Insurance Company, of New York, af-
firming the judgment Of the court, was filed
and made part of its records.
The suit was on policy taken out by
Grehan. The foot notes in the Supreme
Court decision, which was handed down
on Tuesday, are as follows:
!. Where policy of insurance provides
! that any false swearing or attempt at fraud,
"or il there shall appear any fraud IN the
claim, by false swearing or otherwise" shall
avoid such policy, the company, in order to
avail itself of the defense, must show that the
assured knowingly and Intentionally swOre
| falsely, or said or did that which is claimed
to be fraudulent. There must be willful in
tent to defraud. rather than an innocent mis-
take; aud this condition OF the p0hcy extends
to every matter material to be stated, or
which the policy in terms requires to be
stated. Code D2804; Wood on Fire Insurance.
$500 and citations 429; cit. and notes j, 2, 3;
18th Ga; 426, Isl, 255.
,. That the premises in this case were occu-
pied within the meaning of the policy at the
time Of the fire, admits OF no doubt, under
the law or the facts in evidence. Wood, on

s. A fire loss was promptly adjusted under
policy Of insurance, and the company
offered payment before the expiration of the
sixty days allowed in its policy, provided a
certain discount should be allowed, which
was refused. At the expiration Of that time
he promptly applied for his money, but was
put of short time, on the ground that the
draft had not arrived. This was not the real
reason, but they had received information
which they claimed Implicated the insured in
the burning of the house. They did not dis
close this until threatened with suit, and after
suit was commenced they threatened prose-
cution to bring HIM to terms of settlement,
and even demanded the surrender OF
the policy for cancellation, on the ground
that before the expiration or the sixty
days they had received atidaYits proving that
the house was set on fire by an incendiary
several days before it was finally burned;
that material damage was done at that time,
and that the failure to give the company no.
tice then or IN his proofs of loss, was a con-
ccalment or misrepresentation which gave
them the right OF cancelling the policy. Cor
resDOndence between the company and its
agent, drawn out under notice, Indicated
that these transactions were part OF plan 10
force the plaintiff to settle for a small amount.
Held, that the jury were authorized to find
damages and attorneys fees for refusal to
pay, in bad faith. Code. section 2s5O; Cotton

Editor Morning Netcs: 1 have read
"Truth's" criticism in your issue of
March IA of my article on ''What We
Smoke" If he had referred to the date of
my publication he would have avoided
any controversy on the subject. At the
time my article appeared, the Opera Pufs
Cigarettes, which he so justly defends,
were sold everywhere at 10 cents, and
were in no way intended by me to be
classed with the ordinary 10-cent pack
ages. He will find by inquiry that it was
some weeks after my article appeared
that the rulings Of the custom house so
reduced the duties on the papier andre,
by which the manufacturers were enabled
to reduce the price of the Opera Puffs Gig
arettes TO 10 cents. In conclusion, let me
assure TRUTH that heartily agree with
his classification of these delicious Cigar
cites as being of far different and higher
grade than any other 10'cent package in
the market. Yours truly, JUSTICE.
