g AT the regular monthly meeting OF
the Board of Freeholders last Wednes-
day. the sum Of twenty-five dollars was
granted to each Of the four Grand Army
Posts of our county, to assist them in
defraying the expenses incident to
Memorial Day services. The same allow
ance is granted by other counties of the
State to their Army Posts, and it is
eminently right and proper. The me-
mortal services are something that all
our citizens take much interest in. At
the return of every Memorial Day thou
sands of people gather in the towns
where the Posts hold their public exer-
cises, and, if possible, the interest IN
the affairs grows greater every year. The
Board did the proper thing in appropria-
ting one hundred dollars for this pur-
pose, twenty five dollars to each Post. -

Burial Shoes.

That there is nothing small about Chicago
feet, says the Herald of that city, has been so
frequently demonstrated as to need no reitera-
ton. But that Chicago supplies an article in
which 1t has no rival may be news to many
The fact that the rigor morris made the feet Of
the dead so unwei!dy as to necessitate a foot
gear several sizes too large had for long time
painfully impressed Joliet dressmaker, a Miss
LOOMS. She constructed shoe which not
only did away with clumsy leather incasements,
but she brought her ingenuity to such a point
that corpse may be buri d in No 2s while the
wearer in life required No. 4s. The shoe con
sists of knitted pieces of wool or silk, which are
inserted at the heels and at the instep making
it possible to cover the feet of the deceased not
only with snug fit but becoming style In a
block on Dearborn street dozen or fifteen
girls are at work from morning till night of
each working day to manufacture nothing but
burial shoes of all sizes. They are made in four
colors-whte, cream-colored, brown and black
and three gradeS-brOcaded satin, quilted
satin and felt The brown color is principally
demanded for the funerals of Catholics, and
white and cream-colored for babies and women
The firm turns out from fifty to 100 pairs day,
and they are all taken rapidly, because burial
shoes have become a necessary part of the
outfit of the dead.

And Then They Spoke.
From the Ne,o York World.

They were seated side by side upon the demo.

Island. They were not acquainted, though this
was not his fault. He glanced at her rather
wistfully from time to time, and his eyes said

The maiden maintained a rigorous silence.
She was deeply interested iu the show. Every
time Mr.. Cody appeared sue capped her chubby
little hands together in frenzy of enthusiasm.
The weather was fearfully warm The youth
who had thought of casting formality to the
four winds had made a mistake. There was not
a breath of the fourth part of tho four winds
abroad.
Soon the maiden began to fidget She grew

above the wrist, apparently leased her With

He looked on with world of pity in his big
brown eyes. He was anxious to help her He
would willingly have been thrown by one of the
buc1ing horses if. by SO doing, he could win the
right to speak to her.
The show proceeded. The maiden seemed to
forget her anguish in the interest she felt Her
velvety arm lay for moment inert in her lap

were brought down with cruel firmness on that
delicate skin.
"Sir!" she exclaimed, Indignantly, springing
from her seat What does this mean?"
He made no reply, but pointed significantly to
her arm. rer eyes followed his. There on a
white, tleshy death bed, lay a mosquito pant

it was the dish of blood which it had drawn

Congressman Aliens Stories.

Congressman John NJ. Allen, whose frank has
been used to mail a number of patent medicine
lads, represents the First Mississippi district
in the house. and is widely known as one of the
most humorous members Of that body. He
came first into notice during an exciting caucus
on the tariff question, making a humorous
speech Just at the time when his squabbling
democratic brethren were ready to hit each
other under the ear, and occ0soning such mirth
by what he said as to restore harmony in n
twinkling. Later on he opposed the bill pro-
viding for an increase of salary in the diplo-

original logic that II a minister starved on Sl2-

A Surfeit of Literature.

From the San Francisco Chronicle
It looks as if libraries were gradually to be
relegated to the collection of rare books. The
rush of the printing press is so deadly at
present that if books were sent free to all Ii
braries there wouldn't be room for them, and if
there were there never would be time or funds
enough for librarians to catalogue them Time
was when library that had not the latest new
novel was considered shamefully behind the
times. The latest new novel now Great Caesar,
who can tell which is the latest new novelf
There is some difference between now and the
past in that respect. Twenty years ago when a
novel came out it had show for its life and for
the reputation of the writer. Now a great many
novels make a great deal of money and are
forgotten before the accounts are made up
There is not much that need be collected in this
age however, and the value of libraries lies al
most entirely in old and good works.
The cheap editions are making il rather try
ing for libraries, though, in them. 1t is less
trouble to go and pay 10 cents at a store and
own the book than to go to the library, borrow,
and return it. And the queer subjects and the

THE MORNING NEWS ANNUAL REVIEW
or THE
OF THE
BUSINESS OF SAVANNAH
WILL HE ISSUED THURSDAY, sErT 6, 1888

The usual complete and comprehensive expo
sition of the business of Savannah, known as
the Annual Trade Review, will be issued from the
office of the MORNING NEWS, on Thursday, Sept.
g. This edition has been for many years one of
the features of the opening of the busy season
in this city, and is looked forward TO by the bus
iness men of Savannah as one of the chief
means of calling the attention of the public to
Sayannah's business, and her prospects for the
coming year.
The annual review will give not only the sta
tisticts of cotton, naval stores rice, lumber and
other products and the data concerning the
wholesale business of the city, and its manu-
features and other industries, but it will con
tain an interesting account Of what has been
done in the city during the past year, and tell
what its enterprising citizens have in hand for
the next The closing year has been very
prosperous one, but that upon which we arc
entering promises TO be even more prosperous.
A matter that is of the greatest Importance,
and one that deserves especial notice, is that
Savannah is no longer place that strangers
accessible seaside resorts the city has become a
sanitarium for people who come to enjoy the
sea breezes.
And the coming year; what of iti Is it not
ssfilled to the brim" with the highest anticipa-
lions? There is to be magnificent hotel the
finest in the south, new county court house
and a new public building. There are to be
more railroads. more homes and more public
improvements.
No year in the history of Savannah has been
brighter than that which has just closed. The
city's growth in population and wealth, the
public improvements which have been and are
still being made the erection of immense bust
ness houses, the Inauguration of new industries
the extensions made by the two great railroads
which transport the products of Georgia and
adjoining states to our wharves, all prove that
Savannah is not only a growing, but very
prosperous city.
The business men of Savannah cannot make
better investment than by sending copies Of
the MORNING NEWS Annual Special Edition
10 their friends and correspondents. A
newspaper like this Trade Review, contain
ing an accurate account of the business
of this city, is the best advertisement of the
energy and activity of the people of Savannah.
Every citizen, whether he is capital
LIST, merchant manufacturer mechanic, or a
man OF leisure, should feel a,pride in the city.
The Trade Review will be sent to all sub
scribers of the DAILY and WEEKLY News, and a
large number of extra copies will be mailed,
thoroughly covering the territory tributary to
Savannah. Advertisers will find it of great
value Space in its columns can be obtained

WIN Thav Exnlain2

Col. Robert G. Ingersoll is on record as
indorsing the Chicago platform, cheap
whisky plank and all. At the same time he
is believer in temperance, and some of his
rhetorical flights on the subject have become
famous. For instance, when he sent jug
of whisky, forty years old. to a friend some
years ago, he accompanied the gift with a
letter in which he depicted in very re-
markable manner the destructive work
chargeable to whisky.
When Mr.. James G.. Blaine read the plat
form adopted by the Chicago conventionhe
is reported by republican organs to have
said that it was excellent in all respects
Including the cheap whisky plank), and
that on it the republicans would win the
election. In his Paris letter Mr.. Blaine
said
Other considerations than those of finan-
cial administration are to be taken into ac-
count with regard to whisky There is a
moral side to it. To cheaper the price of
| whisky Is to increase its consumption enor-
mously. There would be no sense i'll urging
the reform wrought by high license in MANY
states if the national government neutraizes
the good effect by making whisky within
| reach of every one at 20 cents "A gallon
Whisky would be everywhere distilled if
the surveillance of the government were
withdrawn by the remission of the tax, and
Illicit sales could not then be prevented
even by policy as rigorous and searching
az that with which Russia pursues the nj
hilists. 1t would destroy high license at
once in all the states
If the whisky plank of the Chicago CON
vention is put into effect, it will bring
about the state of affairs which Mr.. Blaine
pictures. In the campaign speeches he pro-
poses making, perhaps that magnetic man
will explain how he can indorse his party
platform without repudiating that part of
his Paris letter relating to the whisky tax.
or how no can adhere to his Paris letter
without repudiating the Chicago platform.
And perhaps Col. Ingersoll will show
wherein his temperance views har-
monte with the cheap whisky declaration
of his party. In attempting to do so they
will have to bring into play all the won
derful intellectual resources which they
possess

President salomon's Ambition.

The affairs of Chill are in very unset
tied condition, and uprising Of the peo-
pie is among the probabilities. 1t appears
that President Solomon, having tasted the
sweets of power, is reluctant to relinquish
his hold upon office, and is striving to be-
come emperor.
| AT tho time of Emperor Faustin's down
fall, Solomon was prime minister, and for
| twenty years after that event he was in vir-
tual Punishment in Jamaica In the mean
time the form of government was changed
into republic, and in 1873,
when great confusion prevailed, and
| when half dozen candidates were seeking
to become president, Solomon returned to
the country and secured the prize His i'm
perialistic ideas still chung to him, however,
and scarcely had he been inaugurated be-
fore he commenced to trample the constitu-
ton under foot. He lived in splendor, and
when he rode out he was accompanied by a
body guard of a thousand magnifceItly
equipped horsemen. He banished from the
country men who opposed or condemned
ms acts, and it is charged that he sent out
emissaries at night t. burn the homes of
those among the poor people who were sus-
pected of opposing his ambition. The re-
cent burning of a large number of houses
in one of the principal towns is said to have
been instigated by him. An attempt was
made in 1888 to rid the country of his des-
potism, but it fai ed
A second attempt, it is said, is now being
contemplated. In fact, tho revolutionists,
led by numbers of exiles, believe that the
time for action has arrived, and will soon
start an uprising that, they hope, will end
in President Salomon's abdication or DEATH
1t is not to be su posed that the president
is unprepared for the movement, and it is
possible that he has reduced the people to a
state of such subsection that the revolu-
tionists will fail for want of support, and
that he will carry out his ambitious designs
though even in that event he would not
long enjoy the fruits of his victory as he
is now Sc years old. Instructions are not
uncommon in the South American repub-
lies, and Chill has had her share of them.

TOO Sharp for Them.

When in the course of his remarks on the
fisheries treaty the other day Senator Blair,
of New HAMPSHIRE. who is somewhat of a
craslk, referred to Mr.. Cleveland as ''pig-
headed executive" no was promptly re-
buked by Senator Morgan, of Alabama,
who tainted the republicans with having
been whipped" every time they came in
contact with the President.
Senator Morgan is about right. The re-
publicans are afraid of Mr.. Cleveland.
While they pretend to believe that he is
quite an ordinary man mentally, they are
perfectly aware that he is as smart and as
shrewd as the best of them, and
that they have generally come out at the
little end of the horn when they Joined
issues with him. Such was the case in the
earlier stages of his administration, when
a demand of a republican senate for private
papers which he did not think he could be
made to furnish brought forth from him a
thunderbolt from the effects of which some
of the senators did not recover for several
months. The republicans have tried to
make party capital out of his pension
record, but no has stood his ground like a
man, and the chances are that he will get
the better of the fight. He bids fair to whip
them on the tariff question. His
bold and able tariff message furnished them
with an issue upon which, they asserted
they would win, but as time passes, it be-
comes evident that they were mistaken.
They professed to be satisfied to let matters
stand as they were when the Mills bill
passed the house, but little consideration
convinced them that if they did let matters
stand they would occupy very untenable
position. and they decided to frame some
sort of tariff bill Senator Blair may call Mr.
Cleveland a ''pig headed executive" and
other republicans may refer to him in terms
and tones intended to be contemptuous, but
the fact remains that his good, hard sense
leads him safely over dangerous places, and
his fight with monopolists and plunderers
since he held his first public Office has ac-
quainted him with their wiles and enables
him to circumvent them.

Not fond enough to encourage

No sweet words or dead give-away,
Yet somehow it filed him with gladneSs
And frightened the whole prosy day.
For he read her love all unspoken.
And he had the assurance to write:

He should take week out of town,
That his sister was off in the country,
And he really must make run down"
