A CALIFORNIA SENSATION.
1Petaluma Courier.I

It is reported that the sales of the Californ.
remedy, joys Vegetable Sarsaparilla, have
grown within few months till they are now
really sensational. The way the fame OF this
production has spread is simply marvellous
Six months ago it was unknown. To-day it is
al over the country. 1t is authoritatively
stated that they have been actually giving 1t
away in San Francisco to people afflicted with
dyspepsia, sick headaches, Indigestion and
liver troubles not to be paid for unless it cured
such practical tests are so startlingly convinc-
ing as to be almost sensational 1t is stated that
two of the active principles Of the new remedy
belong to the vegetable kingdom of California
and are 80 well known to us all under common
names that it would surprise us If told them.
But we are not surprised at anything Califor-
nian, and this recent discovery OF the new me-
dicinal virtues of its vegetable kingdom is but
another instance OF the astonishing possibilities
| of soil and climate like ours.

The Craze for it Has Gained Foothold
Here.
I'VE are going to have physical culture
class here in Savannah" said lady to a
MORNING News representative yesterday.
Physical cultured Who here are going
to have their bodies educated?' asked the
reporter.
70. "a good many people, women and
children chlehy-in fact no men have yet
bee invited to join tie class"
There is a class thenP'
YES, a class is being formed, in fact is
about completed. We have already entered
into correspondence with teacher. who
is woman, and she will be here in few
weeks"
Physical culture is good thing"
"Of course it is. Women need a great
deal more exercise than they get, and they
need different kind of exercise; and tn Q
children too, although they are on their
feet about ali the time they are out of bed
and out of school, will be improved physi-
cally by the kind of exercise that we pro-
pose they shall have"
What is the nature of the exercisesY,
'Well, | don't know exactly. l know.
however, that there will be breathing exer.
clses, Tree gymnastics, marching, walking,
running, pastures, ETC., exercises with dumb
bells, Indian clubs. wands and poles There
will also be the manual of arms, bavonet
drill, broadsword fencing, ETC. OF course,
there will be plenty of such things as are
found in gymnasium, such as the horizon
tai bar, flying rings, ladders, etc.
You expect the class to be a success?n
II know it will be. A good many ladies
have taken hold of the matter, and within
a few months you will see that the children
wac belong to this class will be in much
better physical condition than thew are
now. | think the body ought TO be looked
after as carefully as the mind. A vigor-
GUS. healthy body, is as much needed as
cultivated mind, and the way to have such
body is to cultivate it by the right kind
of exercise"

THE OTHER SIDE HEARD FROM
Mr. whatley Replies to Mr.. Beckett's
Analysis

| Editor Morning Nelos: Referring to Mr..
Beckett's analysis" of the Southern Home
and Building and Loan Association, allo "
me, as briefly as possible, to submit the fol-
| lowing in reply, not as argument, but facts:
Mr. Beckett must RENE nber that all loan
association STOCK is est mattel TO mature in
some given time, ranging usually from five
to ten years, but none to an ABSOLUTE GER
tainty unless forced loans are made or
something similar 4 psrson may take
stock in Z local association; and this trouble
is more considerable than with associations
having general operations, whose capital is
never idle, always going where 1t is needed,
coming from where il Is not needsd. There
fore we are safer, immeasurably 50. in esti-
mating the maturity on our stock than any
purely local association.
The next item IS the expenses. We have
no salaried officers, the treasurer alone
being allowed a small percentage. The
following figures will serve as a compari-
son, suppOsing the two associations 10 carry
$40O,OOO stock.
Local association salaries Of officers at
81 per month in seven years. $1,000
Southern Home Of Atlanta, treasurer's
commissions SIS per month in seven
years ----.-.-.-. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS 4,O3S
Difference. ................ ,468
This large difference in expenses alone
goes to mature the stock. Again, Mr.
Beckett saws that the stockholders here have
no voice IN the direction of affairs; that "a
local board of managers is appointed by the
Atlanta directors" If Mir. Beckett will
refer to the MORNING NEWS of Nov. IL he
will find the local board of directors and
officers elected by the stockholders of
Savannah in meeting assembled for that
purpose.
The Atlanta board of directors had no
more to do with it than the Emperor of
Germany had. As to Mr. Beckett's slang
Of Savannah being ''left in the soup,n this
is mere twaddle. This association, with
many others to come. will be the means Of
building up Savannah, and adding TO her
material prosperity. Of which we all will be
justly proud. This association must have
its lead somewhere. Because it happens to
be in Atlanta instead of Savann IN land as
Savannah man | wish it was should these
men at its head be looked upon as embez-
cling thievesl D. n. Speer, president, who
for four years was the guardian of our
state treasury r. U. Hardeman, who is
our present state treasurer? Surely intelli-
gent men Will turn 10 disgust from such
sentiments-that appeal not to reason, but
to prejudice.
The many insurance companies of New
York, Hartford, etc, operating throug
their agents here, draw thousands from
Savannah every year. Could we not with
the same consistency ask where this money
goesi Would not the community be amused
if the ans or be given in Mr.. Beckett's
language, God knows whitherm
Having, | trust, set this matter right
before the public, feel satisfied of the
peoples Judgment. This is my last. l
shall take no notice of any further COM
munication on this subject, as it needs no
further defense. q. B. WHATLEY.

GEN. GRANTS SISTERS PRAYERS.
She TIE lis How They We're Answered
After Twenty Five Years.


After Twenty Five Years.
From the Netc York Sun.
The attendants at the Sunday evening
service at the Hanson Place Methodist
church, Brooklyn, listened to a narrative
about the last days of Gen. Grant which
has not before been made public. After
his sermon, the pastor, the Rev DR.. A. B.
Kendig, introduced to the audience Mrs.
c. w. kraemer. sister of Gen. Grant.
the last twenty five years Of her
brothers life to secure his
conversion. Mrs. Kreamer is the wife of
the Rev. c. w. Kraemer, who was MID
lister to Switzerland during Grants second
term, and she was the generals favorite
sister.
She told the congregation on Sunday
evening that after her own conversion in
1851 she became convinced that it was her
especial duty to win her brothers soul to
God. By her prayers and her influence she
did everything in her power to that end
from that time on. At about the time of
Gen. Grants first inauguration she believed
her object almost gained. He was par
ticularly impressed with the weight of re-
sponsibility that had come upon him, and
the passage in the Scriptures which his
made deep impression on his mind. Dur
ing his first term Mrs. Kraemer was much
in his company at the white house, and he
often discussed with deep feeling the sub
ject that was nearest his sisters heart
During his second term his sister was
abroad with her husband, and they kept
up regular correspondence, largely upon
religious subjects.
When the General was taken sick Mr.
nv Mrc eli Oh.
ports of his condition were cabled almost
daily. When 1T became serious her husband
was taken i'll, and Mrs. kraemer was I'M
able to leave him to go to her brothers
bedside. Finally, she said, the cable brought
word that the General was unconscious
and very low. But she had full
faith that he would rally, and that her
prayers would yet be answered. True
enough, he did improve, and he lived for
some weeks Finally, in fit of deep des-
pondency. Mrs. Kraemer, one day in her
garden at Berne, prayed most earnestly for
the granting of her hearts desire. And
there came to her, as she described 1t to her
hearers Sunday night, deep peace and
solemn conviction that her PRAYER would
be answered, and that her brother would
not be allowed to leave the world without
making his peace with God. Within day
or two there came a cable message from
her daughter III New York telling Mrs.
Kraemer that great spiritual change had
been experienced by the dying ma0, aud
that in fact her prayers of twenty-five
| years were answered.
Some time later Mrs. Kraemer and her
husband sailed for New York and thew
arrived the day after Gen. Grants death.
In talking the matter over with DR.. New
man, she learned that her brothers change
of view of spiritual things took place on
the day of her strange experience i'll the
garden 5000 miles away. Mrs. Krasmer's
| narrative made strong impression on the
lar ye audience, which listened to her with
rapt, attention.

STORY OF A LITTLE MOUSE.
His Fatal Trip Up Lawyers Panta
looms Leg.

81 have found him. Here he is.n
One Of Savannah's leading jurists walked
across his Office holding very small mouse
by the tip end Of the tail He dropped the
little animal into the waste basket to he
carried out. The mouse fell among the
papers. 1t was dead. Squeezed to death.
A number OF gentlemen were in the room.
and the manner in which the man of law
dealt with a small mouse provoked a hearty
laugh.
The lawyer did not notice it, however.
and. after deposIting the little animals re-
mains in the waste basket, he turned to the
Office boy and said: Take that thing out.
don't reckon it will run up anybody else's
brooches leg" and walked slowly back to
his desk. and, dropping himself into his
deep-cushloned chair, was soon buried in
study.
This is the story Of the little mouse. He
scampered about in box of old papers in a
closet until life had grown monotonous.
Finally he concluded to steal out into the
jurist's room. There were no cats about.
and a lawyer had more to do, he thought.
than to worry his time away with a mouse.
The tiny creature scurried out over the car
pet and played about the big desk in the
center of the room. Everything was SO
clean that the little fellow found it quite as
difficult to enjoy himself in the pretty office
as it was to exc out his existence in the
dusty closet. He was troubled as to
how he should have some fun. 81
have hit upon it," he said. as
he stood upon his hind legs and washed and
licked his fore paws and his face 81 will
steal up the big mans brooches leg and
scratch his leg and scare. him and then |
will run back to the closet" All resolved
little mousie stole up the lawyers panta-
looms.
1t was a case involving many thousand
dollars that the lawyer was at work on, and
he was deeply absorbed in it. He had spent
sleeDless nights over it, and when the little
animal crept along up his trousers, the jur-
lists mind was not removed from the law.
but he cautiously laid his hand on the place
where the little mouse was. Up higher;
higher yet; the little animal kept clawing
all the time until ''slam," went the
book to the floor and the mouse felt a
grasp that knew no end-it
was knell which SUNNI oned him to heaven
before be had time even TO squeal. 1t was
quick and powerful death. The LAWYER
held his grasp for few minutes, then he
gave vigorous kick aud little mousie
cropped to the floor dead-literally squeez d
70 death. 1t is given out on the dead
quiet that that lawyer believes that he can
catcn any mouse in the world.

THE FUEL GATHERBRs' RAIDS
The Cold Snap Brings Out the Blacl
Brigade In Full EOrca

The Cold Snap Brings Out the Black
Brigade in Full Force.
The cold snap yesterday brought out the
"black brigade" in search of firewood
Around every building in course of erection
or undergoing repairs, In the lanes, under
the bluff, and wherever odds and ends of
wood could be found negro boys and girls
were to be seen picking them I'D and
"toting" them off to their homes in the
suburbs. No piece of kindling was too
small to escape the attention OF these fuel
gatherers, but occasionally they would
scoop" good-sized board or log which it
would require two or three of them to
carry off
The appearance of a policeman or a cry
that one was coming would cause a stam-
pede and scattering of the proceeds of the
raid on the scraps gathered from around a
building. These darkies are 'hustlers"
when there is anything to be picked up
and they are feet of foot and difficult to
catch when they pick up things that are
not theirs. AS rule they are sent out bv
their parents or aunties and made to get
material to make the spot boil. -
and number of boys and
girls start out together from
the same neighborhood and keep together
for mutual succOr and protection.
Frequently crowd of firewood gat herers
from the "Old Fort" quarters and another
from Yamacraw meet and there is battle
for the kindlings. Once in a while they
run against a crowd of white boys. They,
however, don't wait the kindlings, but
simply object to the raiders coming into
their bailiwicks. The little darkey who don't
carry home with him good load of fuel is
very apt to receive a warm reception at the
hands of those who sent him forth to get 1t,
and will probably require no fire to warm
by that night. He will get warmed I'D"
with Licking" or a substitute of equally
