TYBEE'S BIG DAY.
The Season at Tybee Starting Out
With Rush.

The Season at Tybee Starting Out
With a Rush.
The season at Tybee may be said to have
fairly opened, if the number Of people who
went there last week. is an indication of
that fact. Yesterday, however, was the
biggest day, except when there have been
special excursions, that the railroad has had
since it was opened. Every train was filed,
morning and afternoon, and had the day
not been quite SO cool, 1t would have taken
extra trains to have accommodated the
travel
The frames and lumber for three new
houses are to be shipped to the island to-
day, and the new buildings now under way
are being built as rapidly as possible.
Three new dancing avilions will be com
pleted within the next three weeks. One
Of them is to be 75xl00 feet, and is to be
called the ocean View"
The station on the river front near the
head of the whnrf has been named "Estill
Station"
A regular schedule train will be put on
on May l, leaving the city at 6:30 p. m,
and returning leave Tybee at II p. m. This
train is for the accommodation Of those
who are unable to visit the seashore during
the day. Three bands of music have been
engaged, and other attractions are promised
by those who are catering for the patronage
of visitors.
Supt. Collins has put down a good plat
form at the Coast Line railroad junction,
Bolton street, and that is now regular

The Wholesale Clerks Putting in their
Petition in Good Time.
SAVANNAH, GA, April 21.-Editor Morn
ing NetOs: Business is Stacking up, and tax
ing general survey of Bay and Congress
streets on a Saturday afternoon, induces
me to the belief that the wholesale mer-
chants on these streets would be willing to
adopt the halliday holiday from May l to
Aug. l. The plan was successfully adopted
and carried out with a good deal of salts
faction last year, and there should be no
impedient in the way of getting one-half
days recreation a week during the long
summer months. All cities of importance
have adopted this rule, and have found it
beneficial, and it seems to be only i'll smaller
places, where not one 1.-THE of the business
is done, that longer hours seem to be needed
than in the large cities.
We start business two hours ahead of
New York and end up two hours later, and
no one would pretend to say that more
of New Workers.
The business done by wholesale houses on
Saturday afternoon is very small, and
shipping of Importance can all be done by
/ o'clock.
1t is matter Of very little importance to
the small country merchant whether he gets
his goods Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday,
SO long as they get there for his Saturday
trade.
The clerks are unanimous in their wish
for this holiday, and trust it will be ac-
corded them. HALF HOLIDAY.

BETHESDA'S BIG DAY.
The Union Society's Anniversary Gel
ebration Tomorrow.

The Union Society's Anniversary Gel
ebration Tomorrow.
The Union Society will celebrate the
13Sth anniversary of its organization, and
the l4Sth of the foundation of the Bethesda
Orphan House by Rev. George Whitfield,
tomorrow. The society is the oldestin Geor-
gia, and the orphan house is the oldest in
stitution of its kind in America, and both
are as dearly cherished by many of the peo-
pie of Savannah to-day, as they were by
the benevolent predecessors of nearly a cen
fury and half ago.
Ii disinterested charity can be secured
from business standpoint; that is, by the
successful administration of it's affairs
the benevolence of the members of the
Union Society has been all that could be
wished. During the past year LOG boys have
been cared for at the Bethesda Orphan
Home, and to-day there are SO under its pro-
tectmg roof. The total cost of supporting
the orphan home; namely. subsistence, sala-
ries, clothing, farming and education for
the year ending March 31st, amounted to
$1,000 90, or, placing the average number at
90 boys SGS So per capita.
The boys are as handsome, happy and
healthy-loOking a crowd of youngsters as
can be found anywhere. Every one who
has an interest in Savannah should visit
Bethesda tomorrow and see what is being
done there for the boys, who, in the future
viii have much to do with the citys ad-
vancement 1t will be revelation to many
to see the Union Society's work in its
ripe, old age. 1t will open their eyes as
well as their hearts.

THE TIME ISSUE.
A Few Reasons in Favor of Standard
Time.

A Few Reasons in Favor of Standard
Time.
SAVANNAH, GA, April 22.-Editor Morn
ing Ne,OS. l wonder if it is possible for those
who are so strenuously urging return to
''sun time" to consider that there are other
interests mot so persistently put forward,
perhaps) probably quite as important for
all to have a uniform time" To obtain
this we must either prevail upon the rail
roads to adopt their views, or accept the
standard adopted by the railroads.
| believe the boast Of Savannahians is
that they are a very conservative people.
There are those who are inclined to think,
however, that this conservatism often bor-
ders very closely on ''old fogyism." 1t is
hardly the thing to say in this progressive
age that we are sufficient unto ourselves
and adopt a rule to govern all outside our
little sphere. The great arteries of trade
represented by our railroad systems
throughout the country have found itnecas-
sary to adopt certain arbitrary standards
of time by meridians, and have, | believe,
found this system of great advantage not
only to the successful workings OF their re-
spective lines, but of general value to the
communities they reach, and it seems that
some little inconvenience might be borne by
those who oppose their standards to have
the general benefit of a uniform time for
ourselves.

EASTERN TIME ADVOCATED.
One Who Finds it Necessary to Keep
Two Kinds of Time.


Editor Morning Ne,cS: l think L. Ms
suggestion in Saturdays paper about the
time the best have yet seen. Let the city
have Eastern time Let the railroads have
Eastern time too, if they will. But if they
must let them have Western time. That
will make the difference between the city
time and the railroad time one eCen h0ttr.
There VIII be no room for any one eUeT to
make mistake. A teething baby would
not have to worry over the arithmetic. The
city will gain in time, instead of losing,
and the railroads can do as they please. For
us to have the hands of the clock pushed
back half an hour certainly means for us to
lose time
Maria's young man gouges thirty-six min
utes on me every night now, just because
the hands of the clock Indicate 10 p m,
when they ought TO show twenty-four
minutes to eleven My son Johnny thinks
it an awful hardship because have allowed
him six minutes longer TO sit up at night,
and tell him to go TO bed at l0:06 sun t me,
just because the clock indicates only $50 p.
M The servant girl comes in at SO a. M, sun
time, and when | ask her what in the world
Is the matter, tells me with an air of injured
innocence, why, it is only o'clock sar;
de CLOCK Jist git through strikIn" | must
admit that so it is by the lying face of every
clock in town.
If we are going to make the clocks lie at
all, why, for the love of mercy, let's make
them lie for us and not against us. Expla-
nationsl They don't do any good. How
many of them we have all entered into to
explain this time question. How MANY of
us have not lost an hour trying to make a
darky give us that thirty-six minutes we
used to haves And then after all given up
in disgust
The railroads don't have to explain to
their employees like we do to our families.
That is where they have the drop on US.
Their organization is not composed two
thirds of women and children like our fami-
lies are. They simply tell a man ''be here
at 5 a. M" and he gets there, Eli, and solves
the time problem on the way. Oh, city
fathers, ltake pity on us, and if you must
make the clocks lie, make them lie us out
of all these miseries WORK.

THE SOUTHERN LEAGUE RACE.
Birmingham at the Front and Likely
to Stay There for Awhile.

Birmingham at the Front and Likely
to Stay There for Awhile.
The results of the past week have strung
the clubs out somewhat in the race for the
Southern League Pennant. Birmingham
has gone to the front and is likely to increase
her lead during the coming games at home.
Memphis is a good second, however, and
the feature Of the next week or two will
probably be the race between these two
clubs for the first place Charleston and
New Orleans are tie FOR last pace, a fact
that indicates weakness on their part as
both have had the advantage of playing at
home.
Charleston will be strengthened without
delay, however. and when the club returns
from their coming trip abroad it is ex-
pected that they viii be in condition to re-
cover the ground that they have lost.
The following games are scheduled for this
week: New Orleans at Charleston, Memphis
at Birmingham, Monday Tuesday Wednes-
day and Thursday; Charleston at Memphis,
New Orleans at Birmingham SATURDAY.
The following table shows the standing of
the Southern League clubs TO date:

stood outside. The Bishop de-
scribed his trip through Palestine
to Jerusalem and the surroundings Of the
sacred city. He carried his congregation
from Bethlehem over the Mount of Olives,
through the valley of Jehosaphat, across
the brook Kedron, and through the gates Of
Jerusalem. He visited the church of the
Holy Sepulchre. the famous mosque and
the Jews Wailing Place under the
old wall of the city, and he gave
graphic description of the Jews wailing
for the loss of their beloved Jerusalem.
The greatest event in his trip, the Bisnop
said, was his preaching in the church upon
Mount Zion. 1t was the greatest honor
that he ever had he said TO stand upon that
sacred and historic spot and preach to a
Christian people.
ALTHOUGH the Bishop spoke for over an
hour, hi r IS were listened to with the
closest ate ton. His description was full
of interest from beginning to end.
