Senate Amendments to the Post
Office Bill.

Senate Amendments TO the Post
Office Bill.
The House Committee on Post Offices
has determined to undo some OF the most
important work of the Senate in the post
office appropriation bill. 1t has refused
to recommend concurrence in the amend
ment which appropriates 100000 to Sc
cure better mail service to West India,
Central and South America aud other
points for the reason, doubtless, that il
regards the appropriation as a subsidy.
As all the Democrats of the committee
opposed the amendment, there is not
much, if any, reason for hoping that the
House will adopt it, although the Republi-
cans generally supported it. The argu-
ment in favor of it IS that it will help to
bring US into closer commercial relations
with the countries to the south of us, an d
with the Australian colonies. The Demo-
Gratis, however, do not believe that the
way TO increase our commerce is by sub
sides, but by reducing our tariff and re-
peahng our navigation laws.
There is no DOUBT, however, that the
amendment, il it should become a law,
would assist very materially in i'm
proving our trade with West Indian and
South American countries. II would
Justify the establishm mt Of Americ an
steamship lines to the countries in ques-
tion, and these lines could hardly fail to
command a great deal Of trade. No
doubt an effort will be made to get the
amendment through the House against
the wishes OF the Post ONCE Committee.
As that is a very difficult thing to do,
however, it is far from probable that the
effort will be successful.
/ The amendment is. to some extent, IN
| tie interest Of this section OF the south,
/ because It would tend TO send the bulk OF
the West Indian, Central aud South
American trade with this country over
/ one OF our railways. Some of IL, doubt
less, would be enjoyed by Southern cities.
Toe Senate amendm mt TO the bill. which
/ provides for a Havana mail service by
way of Tampa, the House doubtless will
concur in, as the House post office COM
mttee does not appear to have
made any objection 70 IL. The SER
vice from TAMPA will have 20
be performed in American built and reg.
istered vessels. The contract will require
the mails TO be carried from New York 10
| Havana, aud in order TO meet the require
ments OF the contract the schedule time
between New York and Tampa will have
10 be considerably shortened.
1 II Ia proposed to carry the mails from
/ New YORK TO Havana in sixty-t vo hours.
The time now by steamship from New
| York is said 10 be ninety hours, but as a
rule II 10 much logger than that. There
Will be no difficulty by the Tampa route
In reaching Havana from New York in
sixtv-twO hours. When that schedule IL
adopted the New York mails Will reach
this city an hour or two earlier than at
present The Cuban mails for Europe,
a. well as for this country will doubtless
% seul by the Tampa route.

How a strike Was Prevented.


Ex-COllecior Charles A. Gould, Of Buffalo,
told me yesterday an in ident that occurred
at that place where long headed proprietor
of a stove casting establishment prevented
strike by taking the bull by the horns and
striking himself. Said Mr.. Gould: "The old
fellow got word one dav that all his employees
had attended a meeting the night before to
In some way, too, he heard what was said at
the meeting and knew at once that a 81 rike
was coming in the not far distant future.
FOrty-eight hours later q notice was pos ed
up over the establishment. IL read, These
works will close on Saturday night until
further notice. 1t was Friday Toe follow
ing day a committee went 10 the Office to in
qure what it all meant. There was no one
there but the bookkeeper. Inqu RES after
the proprietor only ELECTED the response
that he had gone fishing and
would not return for q week. The
old man STAYED away until the following
Wednesday When he appeared q committee
was waiting 10 see HIM composed OF every
branch of islabor. They wanted tn know
what was up. He sat down and told them
what he had learned. Then he went on and
told them hhw much he mad made in the last
two years. how he had run his shops without
earni & penny merely because be felt the
res onsih iliiy Of keeping the wolf from the

lie said that he had made up his mind hat il
his en- loyes did not appreciate these things
1t was no longer his duty 10 keep the works
running. and he had simply decided to close
them until further notice. Il will not saw what
mig 10, II you dsband your assembly and
make up your minds that you want none of
this new tangled affair. but I would study

A Man who wa. "A Mi,lIonaire.
Prom The Nelo YORK World.


About the Gilsey House meet occasionally
a tall, finely built man, with smOoth-shaven,
rudy face, and large brown moustache. He
IS the picture of health and does not look as if
he ever had care in the world. He m ght be
thirty-hve or forty, but it would be difficult
TO guess his age correctly. 1t is James T..
Brady, once the head of one OF the largest
Catholic banking institutions in the country,
the private banking hrm of james 7. Brady
4 Co., of PIttsburg. Brady was millionaire
twice over before he wa thirty years of age,
He embarked in the banking business at Pitts
burg and organized also the Security Trust
Company there. His nvs stments were widely
scattered. The Jay Cooke failure caught him
short. He put all his r'perty into the nds of
the receivers appoint ed to wind uD the affairs
of the institutions with which he was con-
nected and went OF West, naone knew where.
He hid hi nself ON sight. and was found a
year later on the streets of Toledo by Orville
Grant, who persuaded him to return to his
friends. He had been almost crazed by his
los e.. 1t is one of the curiosities If that pc
riod OF loss and depression that piece OF
property turned over to the receiver by Brady
and sod TO other persons, HIS since been
the BASH of a loan Of over $2,000.O00, its value
having increased so enormously as to justify
the placing of such loan on it. 1t is an il
lustratlon of the fact that the men who were
swept under in the Cooke maes'rom were
not All m staken in their judgment as to in
Vestments. M. Brady IS now, believe, prac-
ticing law In this city,

An Early Train on the Central
Needed,


1t seems to be somewhat remarkable
that the Central railroad management
cannot see that it is to the interest Of that
road to have its morning trains leave this
city earlier. An early train would be
great accommodation to those who live
along the line Of the road. 1t would en-
able the merchants, for instance, OF the
small towns to visit the city, transact
their business, and return home in time
to devote almost the whole day to their
affairs. Under the present schedule the
day is half gone or more before they can
get back to their homes If they live any
considerable distance from Savannah.
A fast early morning train to Macon
and Augusta, though it might not pay
just now, would do so eventually. A great
deal ofthe agitation respecting new rail-
roads, especially in Augusta, is due to
the feeling there that the Central rail-
road is Indifferent to the interests of the
people who live along its line. This agi-
tation would be robbed of half it's force il
the Central would make some conces-
sions such as are herein suggested to its
patrons.
What quick trains will do towards in
creasing travel is shown by the rapid
growth Of the travel on the Savannah,
Florida and Western and the Charleston
and Savannah railways. There is no rail-
road in the country which Is in better
condition than the Central. 1t has a
splendid roadbed, new engines and fine
cars. 1t is, in fact, thoroughly equipped.
1t has able and courteous officers, and
can make as good time as any other road.
The thing that is lac ing is an early morn
ing train out OF Savannah. Such a train
would reflect credit on the road and
would be highly appreciated generally.

crease the travel to and from Cuba over

in going to New York or Europe, or in
coming from those points, and visitors to
Cuba from this country will certainly
prefer it because Of the very short sea
voyage.
For this travel. as well as for the
Florida travel, Savannah will become a

Mr.. KiIgore's Victory.

Mrs. Kilgore, the Philadelphia female
lawyer, has st last been admitted TO the
bar of the Supreme Court OF Peunsvl.
vania. The motion for her admission was
made by her husband, and was granted
without opposition.
Mrs. kilgore's pathway az the law has
not been strewn with roses. When she
bad prepared herself for the legal profess
sion. several years ago. she was admitted
to some OF the lower courts, but the judi
cIal fossils OF the Common Pleas Courts
of Philadelphia kept her out OF their sa-
cred precincts, IN spite Of all the law and
argu ments and precedents that could
be brought TO bear upon them.
She successfully entered her chosen
profession, and proved herself n skill
ful and upright practitioner, a. well as a
faithful wife, but she met with rebuffs and
refusal whenever she endeavored 70 gain
admission to the bar OF the higher courts
OF Philadelphia county. She was not the
kind Of woman TO give up the fight for
advancement however. She obtained adj
mission to the Common Pleas Court of ad.
joining counties, and appearing before
the bar OF the Supreme Court, she was
sworn in as an attorney, counsellor and
solicitor therein, and it now remains TO
be seen whether she can be further barred
out OF the Courts Of Common Pleas OF Phil.
adelphia county. 1t is believed that
being n member of the bar OF the Supreme
Court she is ipse Jdcto entitled 10 practice
in all the Inferior courts OF the State.

spirit OF the age TO attempt 10 hinder
