Tho Spartans and Music.

The favorite problem of thinkers
and teachers, since thought began, has
been to find some engine of education
which should reach the character as
effectually as the ordinary means of
training touch the understanding; and
in the opinion Of many, not men
alone, but nations, music was such an
engine. 1T Is music" said the Spar
tans, (which distinguishes the brave
man from the coward" "a mans
music is the source of his courage" It
was their music which enabled Leon
idas and his three hundred to conquer
-s-t T1Ae ::e--------------
It was musA which taught the Spar
ten youth how 10 die in the wrestling
wiring or on the field Of battle. These
claims are audacious, surely. Yet,
when we consider how the rhythmi-
cal tread of the brave man differs from
the agitated shamble of the coward,
how music is tho art of human Joy,
and how Joy and repose Of mind are
the main elements OF manly fortitude,
we shall at any rate admit that there
is strong affinity somewhere; our
only difficulty will be to acknowledge
that music, deliberately applied, could
ever be the direct cause Of these re-
puted results.
To achieve the end desired Spartan
boys passed their youth in learning
tunes, hymns and songs; this was
their sole mental culture. They were
taught to dance and keep step to the
measure Of the songs as they sang
them. And, grown to manhood, now
perfect warriors, marched into battle
B1erss,P ,Pei4liiRg fSaul and drsS sersnSe, Yhith Yhiah,
intoning th@fr songs, moved steadily
t...s into the thickest of the fight, un-
disturbed and irresistible. The band
that leads our armies to the field of
battle nowadays is a scant survival of
Spartan practice, yet even in this
music by proxy there are many ele-
ments of Indictment to courage.

to Meet Again Tomorrow.
Another meeting Of the committee of the

morrow to give further consideration to the
Bay street extension matter. 1t is under
stood from the mayor that at that meeting
the committee from the board of county
commissioners will be heard.
1t is currently stated that the city coun-
Gil is not pleased with the present attitude
of the Central Railroad Company with ref
erence 10 the Bay street right of way,
and the positive statements of Alderman
Myers and ex-Alderman Thomas, that
verbal agreement was had with the
Central for the right of way, is generally
believed, and the fact Is cited that conces-
sions were made to the Central in considera-
ton thereof. There is disposition to re-
peal the ordinance granting the railroad
company the right of way for its tracks
east of the canal if it is disposed to put
any obstacle in the way Of extending the
streets of the city westward, and hereafter
to have documentary contracts in future
dealings.
One alderman, who is considerably worked
up over the matter,is quoted as saving that
be does not propose that the Central shall
block up single street in the city, or that
it shall have the sole right to the use of the
streets for its tracks, but that it must stand
on the same footing with other railroads
that may make Savannah their terminus,

Western Union typewriter, here. He is
an expert operator, and is said to
be the coolest man in long

in Savannah. He sits down to $4,000
words nearly every night, and remains
there until after 2 o'clock, writing at the
rate of thirty words a minute. The noise
of the type writer mover interferes with the

SUSPENDED FOR NINETY DAYS
The Captains OF the st. Nicholas and

The Captains OF the st. Nicholas and
Governor Stafford to be Laid Of.
The United States inspectors of huIls,
Messrs. Thomas Il. Laird and II. d. Head
man, agreed upon report in the St. Nicho-
las-Safford collision yesterday, suspending

McCallum Of the Governor Stafford, for

serve on Capt. McCallum there. The follow
ing Is the finding of the board:
We find under rule g. rules and regulations for
the government Of pilots, that the steamer Gov
eTnor Stafford was not justified under the above
rule, and that the steamer ST. Nicholas did OBJ
struct the Governor Stafford by crowding the
Governor Stafford.
We find the disposition Of these steamers was

least for each other, it being dangerous to
life and property entrusted to their care It is
clearly the duty of an officer in charge of a
steamer to give way in preference to running
any risk.

the steamer St. Nicholas and James L. Mccall
lum, master and plot of the steamer Governor
Stafford, for ninety days from the surrender of
Capt. Headman said yesterday that this
is the first collision the board has had for
investigation for three months, the last
being one between inland steamers on the
St. Johns river in Florida.
The inspectors realized the danger with
which racing between excursion boats is
fraught, and IN the case just examined the
inspectors realized what loss of life might
have followed if the collision had been a
violent one. The steamers had large ex-
cursion crowds aboard, among which were
many women and children, and the loss of
life which might have ensued if the force
of the collision had been greater was con-
sidered.
The inspectors will go next week to
Fernandina and Jacksonville, their district
embracing territory as far south as Cape
Sable, at the extreme southern point of
Florida, and, as they say, keeping them on
the move all the time.
The suspension of the masters of the
steamers st. Nicholas and Governor Stafford
for so long term it is believed will have
tendency to discourage racing hereafter in
these waters, as so many marine accidents
are traceable to the rivalry of steam YES
sells plying in the same trade.
The findings in the case will go to the
supervisor, and if the parties suspended are
dissatisfied with the findings and think
they are not justifable from the evidence.
either or both of them may appeal to the
supervisor, who will then take the record
and will go over the evidence, affirming or
reversing the action of the inspectors. 1t
is not believed that there will be an appeal
IN the present instance.

A MOVE FOR A CONTEST.
Alderman Falligant and the Streets
in the City Extension.

Alderman Falligant and the Streets
in the City Extension.
Alderman Falligant filed in the clerk of
councils Office yesterday resolution to be
introduced at the next meeting Of the city
council contesting the recent sale of the
old base ball park and other property in
the city extension The basis of the con-
test is the claim that the purchasers of the
property have no right to the east
and west streetways, which were
originally dedicated to the city.
The proposed contest is with the provso
that the purchasers Of the property will not
open through it streets and lanes upon the
present plan Of the city extension in lieu of
the originally dedicated streetways.
The resolution goes on to state that the
city does not recognize the owners rights to
the lands between Bull and Barnard streets
extended, which violate the dedication of
the east and west streetways, nor is it willing
to permit any of the dedicated streetways
to be diverted in any manner from their
original purpose or converted into private
property or to be disposed of in any way
to subvert the original purposes of their
dedication.
A further claim to the streetways is that
the city by its purchase from the heirs of
the late David r. Dillon of the property
west Of Barnard street extended, acquired
the rights to the streetways, including
their extension eastward. In the pur-
chase of the Dillon property
Alderman Falligant says that the
city, while changing the original plan of
the subdivision into building lots, did not
claim the right to close up or to dispose of
any of the streetways except to substitute
new streetways more in harmony with the
general plan of the city extension. The
city, Alderman Falligant says, needs the
streetways or their substitute in the prop
erty recently sold, for the purposes under
the city extension plans, of drainage, water
supply, lighting, etc.
The resolution provides that the corpora
ton attorney give formal notice to the pur-
chasers of the property of the contest. The
paper has been placed in the hands of the
corporation attorney for an opinion.

YACHTsMEN ON THE MOVE.
The Savannah Club to Hold It's Semi
Annual Meeting To-day.

The Savannah Club to Hold It's Semi
Annual Meeting To-day.
The Savannah Yacht Club will hold its
semi-annual meeting at its club house at
Thunderbolt this afternoon at 4:3O O'Clock.
A special train is announced to go down at
4 o'clock. The new rules and regulations
for the government of the club. it is ex-
pected, will be ready for distribution at the
meeting.
The usual semi-annual reports of the
officers and committees of the club will be
handed in, and the proposed pilot boat re-
gatta at Tybee, the Ladies' day regatta over
the course at Thunderbolt next Wednesday.
and the Fourth of July regatta will all be
discussed.
1t appears from reports from official
circles that the pilot boat regatta is not yet
agreed upon. The committee which waited
on Capt. d. G. Purse. of the Tybee Beach
Company, did not appear to be favorably
impressed with the outlook and it got little
that was tangible in the conference On
the contrary, it looks very much as il the
beach company, through Capt. Purse, argue
that the Iybee Railway Company is the
proper party to defray the expenses of the
regatta.
Those members of the Savannah Yacht
Club who express an opinion on the subject
say that the matter ought to have been
determined upon before this so that ample
time could have been given owners of pilot
boats to get their vessels in good sailing
order, and to advertise the Interstate re-
gatta in the interior cities of Georgia and
the towns from Charleston to Brunswick,
after which excursions to the island would
have been gotten up at Townsville, Macon.
Augusta. Charleston, Brunswick and other
towns The prizes ought not to be less than
$780, it is claimed, and if the prizes are
liberal no less than eight of the fastest
sailers of the South Atlantic coast, drawn
from the flower of the pilot boat fleets of
Charleston, Brunswick and Savannah, will
enter.
Capt. w. ]. Thompson says that il the
prizes are liberal he will enter both the
Neca and the Mary Odell The Neca, he
says, is the fastest boat of her size in this
or any other maritime country, and he con-
templates rigging her for next year accord
ing to the original plan of her builders, and
challenging anything of her length in this
country.
If the pilot boat regatta comes off on July
4 the first class yachts of the Savannah
Yacht Club will race to the inner sea buoy
and return, making both pilot boat and a
cabin yacht regatta.
