The Best Time to Buy Vaiuables.

This is the dull season of the year. This
information is not exclusive or from inspi-
ration. Trade is pretty well as far as it
goes-but 1t doesn'c go far. The purchasing
power Of dollar now Is something surpris-
ing, simply because there are more dollars
than trade. IL word, we are now inclined
to give very large dollars worth for 100
cents just to keep things moving. Within
tie past few months we have added TO our
stock IN various ways, new ideas, new con-
ceits, new tricks aud quips in jewelry, and
so on. We've got to keep up, you know,
with the strides of inventive and artistic
excellence. Our stock is worth looking
over, and, as minated, we aOiU sell verv
close to move some of it. This 10 good
time to renew household articles. Solid
Silver tab!s ware, superb plated ware,
ornamental goods. For personal use or
adjournment we offer line par ecceILence c.
Ladies' sne Gold, Silver and Diamond
Jewelry, Ladies' Watches, Chails and
Charms, Gents Watches ana Jewelry, etc.
All of these articles can be bought cheaper
now than when trade gets brisker Some
body will get married next fall-buy the
presents you intend to give notc. They
will keep, and you will save money.

Nooa--he Sprite the Flagship.

The pilot boat regatta at Tybee on
Wednesday promises to be the avant
courier of other ocean regattas in succeed
ing years, and already an interstate re-
gatta for prizes ranging from 500 to $1,000

The Fastest Train in the World.


We have got good deal to learn vet be-
fore we shall be able in this country to
rival the performance of the West Coast
FLYER which, on Monday, began running
regularly between London and Edinburgh,
beating the record of the Flying Scotchman,
which up to that time carried the broom.
The salient points of this run, which
will be of interest all over the world, are
! that it was made in competition with a
rival company and it is exceptional In many
ways. The time of the 400 miles was hours
and % minutes, exclusive OF stops; total
running time, hours and 80 minutes, in
GLIDING stops. Three locomotives were
used one with two pair of driving wheels
coupled weighing with tender 81 tons, which
is about the weight Of the heavy passenger
engines on the Pennsylvania; and two hav-
Ing a single pair of driving wheels feet
inches in diameter. There were many runs
of long distances at the rate Of mile a
minute, and 81 miles up 75-foot grade
was covered in 40 minutes. Tie first run
Of 1853 miles from London 70 Crewe III
2 hours and IS minutes is not only the long
est on any schedule, but BY far the longest
ever made by any locomotive on a regular
train without a stop. Theq1ickest mile re-
corded was 4S seconds. THAI has often been
done on the Pennsylvania between Trenton
and Monmouth Junction, and on the Bound
Brook, between Trenton and Bound
Brook. Only "A pounds Of coal per mile
were burned. There were only four pas
senger coaches, in all weighing 20 tons, SO
that the train was a light one, weighing
only 1872 tons, which is lighter than any Of
the fast trains run on this side of the water.
The great locomotive feat was the run
from Carlisle to Edinburgh, 101 miles, in 104
minutes, over pass | lob feet high. Such
feat is practically impossible on any
American railway. The Pennsylvania has
engines rs powerful and "a road bed as good,
but an inclosed track is required and
stragnter one. Such grades as these are
seldom encountered on eastern roads, but
the curves are much greater, and the neces-
sity OF stopping for clear track for high
ways, or crossings Of other roads, bridges
and SO on, cannot be avoided.

IRISHMEN BRANCHING OUT.
The Ancient Order of Hibernians Going
to Augusta.


The committee of the Ancient Order of
Hibernans having In charge the arrange
ments fer the visit to Augusta next Satur-
day night, held a meeting yesterday. Re
ports from subcommittee were received,
and it was generally understood that
fifty members, with badges, will go to
Augusta to assist in the organization of the
division there, and it was said that fully 200
eXcursionists will be numbered in the party
The excursion will consist of three coaches
ami sleeper. The train will reach Au-
gusta at G:35 a. IN. Sunday, and a meeting
will be held in Emmett hall immediately
after the arrival of the division. From the
nall the division will march to the Planters
hotel which has been engaged as head
quarters at the rate of 81. rs per day, here
they will breakfast, and then attend church
in body.
Messrs. O'Connor and Farrell, who were
in Augusta last week arranging the pre-
liminaries, reported to the meeting that
their reception had been a most hospitable
one, and they found the people very de-
sirous of having division organized there,
as there is no beneficial order OF the kind
in that city. The Hendy base ball club win
accompany the Savannah excursionists and
play exhibition games in Augusta on Mon
day and Tuesday.
The committee discussed the excursion
fully, and before ad journment decided to
| call meeting of the Savannah division at
Emmet's hall. on Whitaker street, Nedues-
day night, to complete the final arrange
ments for making the excursion a success
| full one.
