MARCH OF THE TRADES.
THREE AND a half MILLIONS IN
CREASE LAST YEAR.

The Falling Of in Cotton More Than
Made Up by the Increase in Other
Branches of Business-The Grocery
and Provision Trades Increase
The Lumber Trades Boom.
The MORNING NEWS gives to-day sum-
mary of the years trade Of Savannah and
with it very close approximation Of. Its
value. The exhibit, to say the least, is an
excellent one. There was an increase OF
S3,600,O00 in the total value of trade, but
that is not all IL point of fact, the
increase was $7,2OO,OOO. In other words,
that is the actual increase in trade outside
of cotton In cotton the decrease in re-
ceipts of 10000 bales Of upland made con-
siderable decrease in the value of the cotton
trade.
THE GROCERY TRADES INCREASE.
The other trades have not Jagged. The
increase in the grocery trade has been some
thing remarkable. The prevalence Of yellow
fever in Florida last fall brought good
deal of trade to Savannah, which went
to swell the aggregate. Some of this trade
Savannah still holds, but Of course a good
deal returned to jacksonville. The provis-
ion trade also shows gratifying increase,
as do the naval stores, lumber aud hard
ware trades.
The retail business has been given an i'm
petus, but of course this is natural, for as
the city grows in population the retail bust
ness increases.
A falling off is noticed in the furniture
and iewelr5 trade, which is accounted for
by the interruption to business by the fires
of April e and later
A BOOM IN LUMBER.
The lumber trade has had a boom, and
the business is growing rapidly. Atpresent
dealers have ali Ghe orders that they can
fill. Ga the whole the estimate for the
year is a very Conservative one and coIli
the whole of Savanuan'S trades and indus
tries be put down in figures the total
amount would probably be found under
than over the estimate.
The following is a comparative estimate

THE DRUMMERs' SAY SO.
The Trade Outlook from the Travelin e
Mems Standpoint


Mems Standpoint.
The drummers who are coming in from
the road now report a most encouraging
outlook. Over $50 drummers go out annu-
ally from Savannah, and the information
received from them about the prospects is
generally pretty reliable. They represent
every line of business, and they claim Geor-
ga, Florida, and portions of Alabama and
South Carolina, and parts of Mississippi,
Louisiana and Texas as their territory.
Many of the drummers have been out for
months at a time selling in this district, and
they are well posted as to tie outlook. Soma
of them have just returned from their an
nuai fall trip, which opened about June l.
They will remain IN town part Of Septem-
Der before starting out for replenishing
orders They are making every prepara-
ton for a heavy season. Savannah has
taken in more territory, and consequently
for the last five or six years more business
is being done by the "traveers" and a
greater number of them are being placed
on the road east of here.
The grocery business, one drummer said
yesterday. has been greatly increased the
last year, and the dry goods, clothing and
boots and shoes have increased in a like
ratio. Many of the travellers going out Of
Savannah have been on the road for the
last fifteen years, and they are qSick to OBJ
serve any change in the amount of business
that is being done They say that no uu-
easiness may be felt in regard to the pay
ment of debts. Merchants in this territory
who have traded with Savannah will be
able to meet their obligations.

Pertaining, and last night was no exception.
MISS Julla Arthur divided the hOnOrS
with Mr.. Doyle in the role Of Mrs Honey
moon" The humorous situations evoked
frequent applause and laughter Miss
Arthur as Constance Honeymoon" was
the same charming actress that she always
is.
The programme concluded with the third
and fourth acts of "Julius Cesar In the
impersonation of "Marc Antony" Mr.. Han
ley was seen at his best. The "Brutus' of
Brock BeckwlTh was admirable, and was
presented with a vigor aud dash which
challenged applause Mr.. Seaman imper-
sonated Julius Cesar" His acting i'm
proves at every performance. NJ. A.
OByrne was acceptable as "Cassius" His
stage presence is good and his enunciation
distinct and telling.
Mr.. Hanley Miss Tyndale and Miss
Arthur leave tomorrow for New York to
fill engagements.
Mr.. Hanley will begin rehearsals Monday
night in New York with B4r~ett for the
new play "Ganelon."

BRIGHT PROSPECTS AHEAD,
The Outlook for the Retail Trade
Better Than Ever Before.

The Outlook for the Retail Trade
Better Than Ever Before.
There is moro activity in Savannah's
retail trade now than there has ever been.
This fact is attested by every retailer in the
city. Interviews with large number Of
of them yesterday developed this fact
The summer trade, said one merchant, has
been phenomenal, and it guarantees a
heavy fall and winter trade.
There is not retail dealer in Savannah
that has not doubled his stock. The Con-
gress and Brougnton street merchants are
especially active making room for the great
rush they predict will come In answer to
question as to what the great increase is
attributable, tie merchants say that it is
due in measure. Of course, to the recovery
from last years stagnation when trade was
cut off by 50 many people leaving the
country TO get away from the fever, but
the essential course. thav aver,
is the rapid increase in population. in
creased avenues Of trade, better facilities

HOW A CONVICT is SEARCHED

From George Kennan's illustrated ar
ticle in the July Century we quote the
following
you have no idea, Mr.. Kennan," seij
Captain NikolIn, show unscrupulou:
they are, and how much criminal skill
they show in cuncealing forbidden
things and in smuggling letters into and
out of prison. Suppose that you were
going to search a political convict as
thoroughly as possible, how would you
do it?"
replied that would strip him naked
and make careful examination of his
clothing,
sis that all that you would do p he
inquired, with a surprised air.
/ said that no other course Of proceed
ure suggested itself to me just at that
moment.
Would you look IN his ears? ?"
"No,"I answered.; Il should not think
of looking in his ears
"WOuld you search his mouth 7"
Again replied in the negative.
Would you look in hollow tooth !?
sOlemnly declared that such thing
as looking in a hollow Tooth for letter
would never, under any circumstances,
have occurred to me.
"Well," he said triumphantly, have
taken tissue paper with writing on it
out Of prisoners ear, out of prisoner
mouth, and once found dose of dead
ly poison concealed under a Gaping OF
wax in a convict's hollow tooth
Ah-h.h !" he exclaimed, rubbing his
hands, "They are very sly, but ! know
all their tricks"

SOME HOMEMADE REMEDIES.

BY the purchase Of necessary mater
ials and the personal alsuperYision'o of their
preparation aud mixing at home, one
may easily save one-half the retail price
OF many simple prescriptions, adding
this advantage to the satisfaction of OBJ
tanning the proper ingredients and those
OF purer quality than might otherwise
be used. Furthermore when troubled
by slight Irregularities of the system,
one is not inclined always to consult a
regular physician and is still less in
clined, if wise, to choose any among the
hundreds Of patent nOstrums sold by
druggists. Often a simple mixture of
harmless ingredients proves efficious
and prompt in its results. These from
my limited list have been well tested.
HAIR-wAsH FOR THE REMOVAL AND
PREVENTION OF DANDRUFF.-Two oun-
ces OF borax, two ounces of gum cam
Phor broken in small pieces, one quart
boiling water. Bottle and cork tightly.
Before each time of using, strain small
quantity and dilute with an equal por-
tion of water: Apply to the head with
flannel cloth or with the hands. Wash
the head and hair afterward with soft
water.
GLYCERINE AND ROSE WATER FOR
SoFfENING THE HANDs.-One-half cup
tul of glycerine, one cupful of rose water
one-half teaspoonful spirits camphor.
First put the camphOr in the bottle, then
glcyerine, which shake well before ad-
ding the rose water. Apply after wash
ing the hands and while still wet. Rub
in well then wipe with a soft towel
Good Housekeeping.
FOR CONsTIPATIoN.-One pound of
ligs, two ounces Ofsenna leaves OBTAIN
able at any drug store), one cupful of
good molasses. Chop senna leaves and
figs quite fine, then add molasses, mix
well and pack in small earthen jars or
glasses. Keep well covered. Give to
an adult one-half teaspoonful, to a
child one-quarter teaspoonful at each
dose.
For CHRONIC DIARRHEA.-Makea a
mild decoction from the leaves of
plant called the frost weed by stepping
small handful of the leaves in boiling
water, enough to cover. Drink it hot
in small portions until relieved.
For INDIGESTION OR DYsPEPsIA.-
One calfs rennet, washed carefully, cut
fine and soaked for week in best cider
vinegar. Take one tablespoonful fifteen
minutes before each meal.
LINMENT FOR BRUISES, STRAINS AND
RHEUMATIsM.-One cupful ofturpentine
one cupful Of ammonia, two eggs. Beat
well together and bottle.

THE CONDITION OF ARKANSAS.

The World sent * led Investigator
to Arkansas o,xp'Ore Ii condition of
things there IN connect Oh with the as
sassination uf Jrhn NJ. Clayton. He was
INSTRUCT, to hud out the tru and to
report it without bias, prejud e. or favor.
Hls report has been published in the
World and it IS one that should make
every self respecting citiz n Oi Arkansas
ashamed
That report does not show who the
murderers of Clayton are, bat it does
show that the people Uf the State in
hich the crime was committed haYe
made themselves morally accessories
after the fact. The great majority of
that States people, without doubt, con-
demn the murder and would rejoice 10
see the murderers brought to justice.
But, being a majority, they are bound to
maintain conditions in which that can
be done, and they utterly fail 10 main
tain such conditions Their failure In
this respect renders them, however un-
willingly, sharers in the responsibility
for the murder.
A man engaged in investigating the
theft of a ballot box was assassinated.
The whole community ought at once to
have set about encouraging and helping
efforts to discover the assasslns. Instead,
the people have shrunk panic stricken
from all inquiry. They have permitted
the guilty men and their friends to in
stitute a silent reign of terror for the
purpose of suppressing investigation
Detectives have been driven away. Men
going on peaceful errands into the re-
gion have been dogged night and day in
manner 50 threatening that they have
fed. Every body, from the judge ON the
bench to the village gossip, has been
made to understand that this crime is
not to be inquired into upon pain OF
death.
Such a state of things is not civiliza
ton. II is lawlessness, barbarsm the
terror of savagery. Nobody supposes
that the people of Arkansas desire this
state of things, but by submitting they
consent to it and make themselves re-
sponsible for it. They permit the will OF
band of outlaws to override lawful
government. They are responsible for
what follows. As the citizens of the
State they should WELD the power of the
State. II they permit a gang of desper-
ADDE'S to WELD it instead they must an
swer to public opinion for what the des-
peradoes do.
These are unpleasant things to say. but
they are true.-N, Y World.

So Carl was called iu, and when the

that he had several days before procured
license, and that clerical friend was
to be on hand after the theatre to marry
them. He had made arrangement while
he was supposed by Cecil to be ordering

CHRISTIAN HAND-sHAKING.

You may call it personal magnetism,
or national cordialitv, but there are
some Christians who have such an ar
dent way Of shaking hands after meet
ing that 1t amounts to a benediction.
Such greeting is not made with the
left hand. The left hand is good for a
good many things for instance, to
hold fork or twist curl, but it was
never made to shake hands with, unless
you have lost the use of the right Nor
is 1t done by the tips of fingers laid loose.
ly in the palms of another. Nor is it
done with a glove on. Gloves are good
to keep out the cold and make one look
well, but have them so they can easily
be removed, as they should be, for they
are non-conductors of Christian magne-
tism. Make bare the hand. Place 1t in
the palm of your friend. Clinch the fin
gers across the back part of the hand
you grip. Then all the animation of
your heart will rush to the shoulder, and
from there to the elbow, and then
through the forearm and through wrist,
till your friend gets the whole charge
of gospel electricity. In Paul's time he
told the Christians to greet each other
with holy kiss. We are glad the GUS
tom has been dropped, for there are
many good people who would not want
to kiss us as we would not want to kiss
them. Very attractive persons would
find the supply greater than the demand.
But let us have substitute suited to our
age and land. Let it be good, hearty,
enthusiastic. Christian hand-shaking.-
