savannah,. shade Trees.

Editor Morning Nel1S: AT the last
meeting of Council a petition was pre-
sented, signed by a very large body of
citizens, asking Council to make some
provision for the better care Of ornamen-
tai trees in our streets, and some restric-
tiOn upon the indiscriminate cutting down
or mutilatiOn OF them.
There was time when the beauty OF
the trees in Savannah, their altitude and
shade made this city famous and gave her
justly the name of Forest City" All
this is changed, aud our streets are un-
slightly to degree; the trees that would
be beautiful are so trimmed and cut away
that they become shOrt-lived, stunted aud
unsightly. When branches are cut no
provision Is made against the decay that
will surely follow at the cut surface.
See the beautiful but decaying tree which
stands little TO the southwest of the
front OF the theatre. Then see the gaps
along the lines OF sidewalks where trees
once stood but which have disappeared
and have not been replanted, and see the
abOrtive efforts OF citizens all over the
town to replant. They fail because of the
lack of experience and knowledge. and
the facilities for getting good young trees.
Above all see along the lines Of the
streets the unsightly effect of the lack OF
OF trees-mulberry. elm, sycamore, water
oak, palmetto, pride of India, alanthus,
follow each other in ugly confusion.
Every man has his own idea of beauty
and usefulness. He plants the trees to
suit himself and not the public, and yet
the trees are planted on the public do
main and cannot be touched by him ex-
cept at the risk of the police court.
The cure Of all this lack OF wisdom and
failure to utilize our natural advantages
OF SOIL and climate is very simple. Let
Council, through a proper committee,
make 1t business to plant a certain
suite OF trees every spring, and forbid the
citizens TO plant any trees except by spe-
cial permit and approval OF the proper
committee. Let the trees be planted with
an eye single 10 the general good and the
general and uniform effect. In a few
years the tree planting would be pushed
out to the very distant suburbs with The
animal expenditure of not exceeding $500.
Let us take Broughton street as an il
lustratiOn-not tree remains upon the
street between West Broad and Abercorn
Trees can be obtained and planted
at 81 apiece. There are 66 lots between
Abercorn and West Broad. Let the
proper committee plant two lines of trees,
carefully selected, with carefully pre-
served roots, of one single variety, of one
size, all planted at equi-distances, and at
the same time let them be carefully
watched by the public guardians and in
three years see what a beautiful street
BroughtOn street would become, and all
this by the judiciOus expenditure of $l32.

vanderbiits of ths Profession

The question is often discussed and
asked as to the wealth possessed by differ
ent people engaged in the base ball pro-
fession. Of course there are a great
many people who are financially inter-
ested in the various clubs who never
handled ball and bat, but are otherwise
actively engaged in the profession, and a
few who, in times gone by, were PLAYERS
and by thrift and the careful use OF their
earnings while playing gained a
fOothold which led them on to wealth,
First and foremost comes AL Reach, of
the Philadelphia club. After cutting
loose from the professional ranks ne
started in a small way in Philadelphia
the sale of base ball goods, and by strict
attention to business and a will made of
iron he gradually built up an establish
ment which is second to none of the kind
in the country. He is now estimated to
be worth S200.000. AL Spalding follows
Reach with 100000. Next to Spalding
comes George Wright with $4,000. The
richest ball player in the profession is
Capt. Anson, Of the Chicagos, who is said
to be worth $4,000.
OF the managers, Harry Wright is be-
lieVed to be the pOssessOr of $35, 900 in
stocks, bonds, real estate and cash. Frank
Bancroft can draw his check for a cool 500
at any time, is thankful to the patrons OF
base ball for the $50, 600 he is the owner
OF. Charley Mason has laid by a sum
which is said to run well up into the
thousands. jim White is worth $25, 900,
Dalrympe $4,000, Jim MutrIe $l5. 900,
Comisky $4,000. O'Rourke S15.-
900, Sutton $4,000, Keefe $4,000,
viii White $4,000, Stovey $4,000.
Farrar $4,000. Snyder $4,000, McCor-
mick $1,000, BrOuthers 10000, Hanlon
$500. Morrill, $4,000, Richardson ST.
900, Dunlap $4,000, Wood $500, Irwin
$500, Andrews $500, Fogarty $500,
Ward $4,000, Bushong $4,000. Connor
$4,000, Hines $1,000, Glasscock $1,000, Ca
sey $4,000. There are others who should
be named in this lIst, but those whose
names are mentioned am positive about,
1t will be noticed that the majority are
League players. This can be explained
by calling attention to the fact that
League players have been IN the business
much longer than have their young
friends in the Association. There are any
number OF economical men in the Asso-
tion who are laying aside nice little sum
for the future.

A NEW HOTEL SCHEME.

IL Doesn't Depend Upon Subscrip-
tions, and Promises TO be sue
cess.
The failure of the several plans 10
secure a new hotel in this city has been
source OF much disappointment, not
only to the people here, but also TO
| thousands of travellers. At the late an
nual meeting of the Union Society the
President referred TO the hotel matter in
connection with the Pavilion Hotel prop
erty, owned by that society, in which he
said:
I'm the various schemes for building a
new modern hotel in Savannah, the PaYil-
ion Hotel lots have occupied prominent
place. AT meeting Of the Board OF Mana
gers held last August called attention to
an act. passed by the Legislature in 1871,
authorizing the sOcety TO issue bonds on it's
property 10 the amount of 100000. and
suggested that with that amount first
class modern hotel might be erected on
the Pavilion Hotel lots. The board
was favorably impressed with the
idea. and under a resolution then adopted
a committee was appointed to ascertain
if it would be possible to build q hotel
with the amount named. Plans and ap-
proXimate estimates OF the cost OF such
hotel were obtained, but owing to the lat
ter not being satisfactory, and another
hotel scheme having been presented TO
the public and also proposition made
by the trustees of the Chatham Academy,
the committee has allowed tue hotel pro-
Ject TO remain in StdtH qdO."
OTHER NEGOTIATIONS
looking to the erection OF new hotel
having, as already stated, apparently
come TO naught, the plan OF building
hotel on the Pavilion Hotel site mas been
revived. 1t was not intended TO make the
matter public just at this time, for fear
that il might be a failure, but the interest
manifested by those who have become
cOgnizanJ OF it, and the general desire on
the part of the public for information in
regard to anything relating TO a new hO-
tel, are the reasons for now re.
ierring to the Union Society project. while
10 is still in an unripe condition, and be-
fore any definite plan has been presented
to the Board OF Managers of the society,
THE PLAN rs TO ERECT
a first-cass hotel containing at least 200
sleeping rooms, and having ali the other ne
cessary apartments, on the site Of the Pa
vilion Hotel, with money raised upon the
bonds OF the society, certain cash assets,
and possibly limited amount in con-
tributiOns. The full details OF the scheme
are not yet in such shape as to be given
to the public, but there is every reason
to expect that the undertaking will sue
coed and that Savannah will within a
year have a large and handsome hotel,
which will be tirst-class in every respect.

TRYING TO FORM A POOL.
Three Roads After the Rich Traffic
ofthe Chattahoochee.

InESe hOduS AIJeF Jilc 1bIcn franc
ofthe Chattahoochee.
An unsuccessful attempt to form pool
on Chattahoochee river traffic IS reported
from Jacksonville. 1t appears that few
days ago Traffic Managers Owens, OF the
Savannah, Florida aud Western railway,
Shellmau. of the Georgia Central and
southwestern, and Papy, of the Florida
Railway and Navigation Company, held
meeting and discussed the formation OF
pool into which all should go.
Until couple of years ago the SaYan-
nah, Florida and Western and the Central
controlled the business along tue Chatta-
h0ochee. Two years ago the Florida
Railway and Navigation Company reached
out after some of the traffic, and in
connection with an independent
line OF steamers on the ChatiahOochee,
from ApalachicOla 20 Columbus and by
steamers from Fernandina, it has got a
good slice of the business. The Central
runs the Merchants and Planters line on
the ChattahoOchee, and the Savannah
Florida and Western runs. the Peoples
line.
Rates have been cut until they are
very low, but Manager Papy IL reported
as opposing pool. He thought the other
roads were disposed to want too big a per-
centage OF the profits, aud no agreement
was reached.

hardly reach any man noW-a-d days, as for a
half dollar and fifty cent piece we can sell you

The contest for Governor between Bacon

moment forgotten the great bargains in
