STOLE A MARCH ON TINE.
THE CITY COUNCIL ROBS THE DAY
OF 80 MINUTES.

Savannah Bids Goodby to Standard
Time and Goes Back to Sun Time
Again - The City Clocks Showed
Ahead Half an Hour and the Dual
System Again in Effect.
The change from standard to solar time
yesterday was done SO quietly that only
those who were on the watch knew of the
transition. At II o'clock Chief Fernandez,
of the fire department. called on Mayor
Lester to inquire whether the hands of the
City Exchange and Independent Presby-
terrain church clocks should be advanced
before the clocks struck IL, or afterward.
The Mayor thought that it would be best
to advance the hands tbirty-six minutes
before IL o'clock, standard time, so that
when the clock struck II, it would be 70
o'clock, sun time, and watches and clocks
could be set to conform to the adopted
time. This was done, and central standard
time was for the second time relegated to
the rear.
The opinion was expressed by number
of persons that IL ever a change of time is
made again it will be to eastern time. 1t
is claimed that this would not be as objec-
tionable to some as the central standard
time was, for the latter is 80 minutes be-
hind sun time, while eastern time is "a
minutes faster than sun time.
KNOCKED OUT OF TIME.
Although the action of the City Council
in returning to sun time has had wide pub
LEGATION, and the time question has been
thoroughly discussed there were numbers
of persons who expressed surprise when, on
comparing their watches with the City

must have stopped, or " must have for
gotten to wind up my watch" were COM
mon expressions.
A couple of gentlemen walking on Brough-
ton street were discussing the time question,
and a the clock struck twelve, one remarked.
well, we have solar time now" A group
of darkies heard the remark and one said,
Oar now is a new time agin. | nebber
heah of soleyah time befo.n Accosting the
reporter who had overheard the converse
ton, the puzzled colored man asked, Boss,
'scuse me, sah but can you tell me what
dis yeah soleyah time means, sab? Am it
gwine to be fastah or slowah dan de pres
ent time, saha
'WHAT AM soLAH TIMEp'
When informed that it was the astrono-
mically scientific term for sun, and solar
time meant sun time, he laughed one of the
old plantation laughs until his mouth
opened nearly back to his ears, and, thank
ing his informant, added: Oats de right
time for a niggah, boss 'Foah de wah,
when dar want SO many lazy niggahs, de
sun nevah fool you bout de time. sab. Mig
gah 60 to work when de sun come up, and

work done. Sun keep powerful bettah time
dan de clock. When de clock stop, start
him by de sun. Nevah keep any time in de
cotton patch but sun time, sah," and
again he laughed one of the ante-bellum
laughs and made an original African cour-
tesy by STOPPING with unhinged knee.

To the Editor of the indianapolis Journah
read in the Journal Of Last Sunday an ex-
tract from . New York letter to Troy paper in
which the writer gives as the probable origin OF
the phrase Ito eat crow the story so often told
Of the Union soldier and the VirRinian who took
turns, under duress. at eating portion of q
tame crow belonging to the latter. which the
soldier bad shot This incident has often been
cited in the past twessy years as the one that
gave rise to the phrase. but it is really much
older About the year 1852 there appeared
in the editorial department. of the
Knicksrkocksr Magazine story which
vas in substance as follows: Among
the dwsllers along the Hudson river
who sked out the returns from their
wsil-filled farms by taking summer boarders,
was an old fellow who was thrifty TO the ex-
IRENE OF peuur iousuess, and made it rule to

Of the cook. he carried it to the kitchen, and
qussted that il be nicely cooked as q separate
dish for dinner, and handed to him at table.
Subsequently he got to thinking over the matter,
and. becoming aperehensive lest the old farmer
might be able to eat the crow. and thus make
good his boast. he slipped into the kitchen, and,
unroticed by any one, seasoned 1t libsrally with
snuff In due time the dinner was served. and.
aftsr the guests were seated. the fricasssed

over TO the host. saying: "You have often
sEered my complaints or poor fare by saying I
