The native traits predominate still, al
though they are far from their tribal in
tluences. Stoicism is a marked quality,
and one that has come to them from their
ancestry, and is not the result OF teaching.
"They never cry out" said the superin-
tendent, however much they may be in
jured. Yesterday that boy there ran
pitchfork through his foot. 1t must have
been intensely painful, but,he never even
whimpered His wound must hurt to-
day, but he is at work from his own choice,
and there is no expression of suffering on
his face. That other boy with his leg done
up in bandages, day or two since. spilled
pan of scalding water over his leg, and
and must have suffered Unreasonable
pain; but he gave no sigh, and has volun-
tarily gone on with his work as usual.

suffer, they endure 1t like sick dogs In

him. They take their medicine quietly
and always as IL grateful for the service"
In speaking of the sick, the superintend
ent remarked that the main diseases with
which they are attacked are scrofulous
in their nature, and that they have a ten
dency to weak lungs, with the conse
quence that the deaths are large-nearly
or quite so per cent of the whole-and
that they die rapidly and with apparent
ease.-Lawrence (Kan) Cor. Chicago

SAVANNAH MORNING NEwsiT THURSDAY. SEPTEMBER
ImnrONing the Streets

1t appears that SO much OF the appro-
priation provided in the city budget for
the street and lane department was spent
early in the year, before Alderman Thomas
became Chairman OF the Council Com
mittee on Streets and Lanes, that be is
not in a position to do as much towards
permanent improvements as he desires.
He is now engaged IN relaying the stone
pavement on Bay street west Of Dravton,
a work which had become absolutely
necessary.
AS soon as the work there is completed
he proposes to repair Whitaker street to
State street. This street Is a
great thoroughfare, but it has never been
properly paved since the street car tracks
were put down, eighteen years ago. II
the street railroad company would put
down rails of the new pattern on Whita-
ker street north of Broughton. as it has
done south of that street, and the city
would lower the crown of the roadway, it
would be great advantage to the public.
All trees, lamp posts, sign posts and
other distractions that are IN the road
way ought to be moved inside the line OF
the sidewalks or removed altogether, If
that can be done. With such improve
ments, Whitaker street would be COM
Portable street to drive on.
Alderman Thomas would do this II his
committee had the funds. If the City
Council could spare the money to have
the work done at once, and also TO extend
the paving of Drayton and Whitaker
streets to Anderson street and pave one
cross street south Of the Park, it would
have the thanks of an appreciative con-
stituency, and the city treasury would be
benefited by the appreciation In the value
of property.

A True story from Pawtucket


Some time ago the Pawtucket Orthodox

IL. What was his astonishment to discover
that screw had been put through, appar-
entity In recent years, In such a way as to i'm
pinge upon the pivot ana prevent the vane

The carpenter was Mtonished that such an
attempt should be deliberately made to Grip
pie the church vaRe and impair its useful
ness, but he thought before he removed the
screw he would report the matter and see
whether by any chance it had been put there
by authority. So he appealed to Deacon x,
the most prominent member of the board OF
trustees, and told him the discovery.
"Have you any idea how the screw came
there, deacon?" the carpenter asked in clos

The captain and crew Of a schooner saw
a sea serpent on Patuxent river last week E.
The log says when the vessel was of Hol-
lands Clin, and running under full sails,
with fair wind and tide, something was
seen in the water in the distance, which
appeared to be large snake crossing the
river FROM the Prince Georges sid. AS
the vessel approached nearer it appeared
to be horned snake. When it had
crossed TO midway the river, turning
short about, IL swan With renewed en-
ergy directly towards the vessel. At this
tuncture long poles and other weapons
were provided and put in convenient pO-
stion for use when it came up alongside.
When captured It was discovered TO be a
common gray squirrel. Had the monster
not been captured, no doubt horrible
story would have been told and published
on the arrival Of the vessel at Baltimore.

All the financial papers do not cham
plon the infamous efforts Clews and his
friends are making to injure the splendid
credit that Georgia has built up in spite
of their schemes. The Financial and
Mining Record justly and feelingly says:
sin essence and purpose what Is asked of
the New York Stock Exchange is the
very worst form of the boycott, for it is a
barefaced assertion to the people of Geor-
gia that they shall not sell their bonds
here in New York, howsoever buttressed
they may be by the faith ana pledge of the
State, until the people OF Georgia shall be
forced to pay that which they say they do
not owe. Ii such step as this so siren
uously and potentially urged upon the
Stock Exchange be not an application of
the boycott, there is no such thing as
logic. And II the Stock Exchange can
lawfully be made the instrument of the
purposes of the men behind the above
quoted paper, then 1t is plain that there
is a law, aud a very different one, in New
York for boycotting, as administered by
the common herd of bakers and car-dri-
vers, from boycotting as administered by
bankers and stock exchanges. Nous
