The Shah and the Phonograph

During the shah'S visit to Earl Brownlow he
was shown the mysteries of EdsOn'S phono-
graph, by Col. Gouraud Col. Goura I'd made a
little speech to the shah, saying that if his i'm
penal majesty would prof ng his travels to
America he would be afforded as splendid and
h arty a welcome there as had been eXtende /
TO him in this, the great mother country. All
this was translated TO the shaw by Prince Nal
com Khan, ana indeuted UPON the phone graph.
Then the speech was wound off as pronounced
in Persian by the prince whereaJ the shah
smote his palms together and cried; "Oh, oh -
and "Wonderful.' Anxious for more, his i'm
peral majesty bade the poet of the suite recite
some verses from the great Persian poet Hufiz

the photograph the verses OF Hadz

Il is quite safe % say taa tho legislature
wiz rot pass the Olive oil n it amended
shape or ia any other. The members have
heard from their Constituent, and If we
are not mistaken the majority OF them arc
sstisfi d that the people DO not favor the
bill, ror auy other legislation Of the kind
| for which it provides.
THE sub-cOmmi' tee Of the railroad COM
| mittee could not agree upon the original
bill, nor upon the bill as amended.
No one of the sub-coHmIttse was in
favor Of the original bill, and only
half Of the committee favor the bill as
amen led The other half are Of the opin-
10 Tat the state uld not be benef Ell by
the kind of legislation for which the bill
provides.
There never was any very great proba-
blity that the Olive bill wouli bee )me a
law. At the last session it was thought to
have good many friends in the legislature
What its real support was, however, was
never known. The idea of preventing any
arrange uents between railroa Is which
would tend TO check competition was rather
popular one when 1t was first suggested
and before it was carefully examined. 1t
is pro able that it was re we'd with favor
quite generally over the state. The more
it was discussed, however, the more clearly
it was seen that a law based upon that idea
would do the state far more harm than
good.
1t was apparent that if the railroad COM
mission did its duty no railroad would make
more than a legitimate profit. There was
no benefit to DO expected, therefore, from
legislation that prevented one railroad from
getting control of a competing road, be-
cause if they remained in competition their
rates would not be much, if any, lower than
those fixed by the commission. They could
not afford to make them lower if they
proposed to meet their obligations and pay
q dividend to their stockholders. This is
about the way the matter presented itself
to thinking people, and their views we're
not unknown TO their representatives in the
legislature. When the legislature met in
its present session, therefore, the Olive bill
was already defeated.
1t will hardly be denied that the bill has
had the effect of keeping capital out Of the
state and checking railroad enterprises. If
it were to become Jaw railroad building
in the state would come to a standstill
Money could not be obtained FIR railroad
enterprises. There is no probability. how
ever. that the bill as it is now, or in a
changed form. will become law.

a New Territory.

There is no doubt now that the Foster
commission, which is engaged in getting
| signatures of the Indians to an agreement
to sell part of the Sioux reservation, will
succeed in is undertaking. As 10 x as
Chief Gall refused to sigu there was not
much probability of getting the signatures
of the necessary number of Indians His
| scruples have been overcome, however, and
the transaction will soon be completed.
When the agreement is signed the Indians
will get about Sl4, 00O,0 900 I'd the govern
ment will get something more than II ,O0O,-
900 acres of land. This la id is in the far
northwest, but it is very rich, and is well
watered ana we'll tlmbered. The climate of
that section is cold, but there are advan-
tages to be found there which are wanting
in Oklahoma or the Cherokee strip.
The Indians hestated about selling any
| part of taeir vast domain bee use they
were afraid that ev would not be paid
for it, and also because they believed that
if they sold any part of it they would have
to sell all of it eventually. Thu reservation
lies across the path of progress to the
| northwest, aud is serious interruption to
the development of III region of country.
The Indians will still have as much of the
reservation as they need, the part they re-
tain being about twice as large as the state
Of New Jersey.
The new lands will be opened to settlers
as soon as the provisions of the purchase as
| authorized by congress are complied with
and the necessary surveys are made. 1t is
expected that the rush of en- grants to them
will DO as great as it was recently to Okla
| homa.

SAVANNAH OF TO-DAY.
The Morning News Annual Trade Review
A Few Pointers In Relation Thereto.

The MORNING News Annual Trade Re
view, containing a complete and compre-
hensive statement of the business of Savan-
nah, win be issued early in September
The year ending Sept. l, 1889, will be-
memorable one the history of Savannah,
and the MORNING NEWS proposes to give
the widest publicity to what Savannah has
done, is doing, and proposes to do in the
near future. There is no better way in
which the outside world can be informed of
what is going on in a community than
through the columns of its newspapers
The MORNING NEWS ia it's forthcoming
Trade Review will show by facts and
progressive and healthy cities in the union,
and that her citizens, judging from what
they have done during the last year, are
fully alive to the great ess of her future
They have proven by the various local i'm
provements they have made, and by the
active interest they have manifested in
railroads projected for her benefit, that
they are not afraid to invest their money
within her limits. They have demonstrated
beyond all doubt that they have confde CO
in her great natural advantages, and that
they believe that her deep water harbor
and her great railroad systems will, in a
few years, make her the greatest seaport
city in the south.
The MORNING News will, in its Trade
Review, present to the word Savannah OF
to-day" In a resume of what has hereto
fore appeared in its columns. The review
will be in such shape that, at a
glance, it will be seen what has
been accomplished during the year
The Trade Review will contain articles
showing the bu mess Of the city during the
year and present indisputable facts which
promise steadily increasing prosperity.
1t will establish the fact that there is NO
healthier city in the south and none more
pleasant in which to live and do bushes:
either in summer or winter. 1t will
prove by figures that Savannah i.
without a rival on the South Atlantic
coast, and that by their acts her citizens
show that they are satisfied that she il
only at the beginning of her commercial
greatness.
The Trade Review will be printed in th,
usual form, and will be newspaper which
those who feel a pride in their city viii
take pleasure in sending to their friends
1t will afford business me an opportuu
ity Of saying something about their business
and themselves. 1t is hoped that in size, a
we'll as in other respects, it will sur as
every previous edition. That, however
depends entirely upon the orders it re
ceivos from advertisers.
Il is desired to distribute $1,000 copies
and that number will DO distributed, ii til,
response Of the business men is as prompt
and liberal as ne have reason to beheve /
will be.
Orders for advertising or for copies q
the paper can be handed in at tho bushes

Kissed Her Good Night.
From Munseg's Weekly,

The theater that night we attended
Sans chaperon , in coupe;
AS Betty was deeply offended,
We didn'. see much of the play.
The trouble began in the carriage;
She vowed she would never give way,
That she never would dream OF marriage
With such a tiance.
The said when pressed for the reason,
Twas kiss that she saw me bestow
On my cOusin-a bud Of the season
Whom Betty, by chance, didn't know.
1t did look rather suspicious,
At a balm a cUrner-ights low,
Still, at most it was just injudicious,
Not criminal, no!
She didn't know all my relations,
We've not been engaged quite week,
SO the cause of her recrlminatiOnS
Was perfectly nature pique.
tried with manner persu 4Sive
My absolute pardon To seek
But her answers, found, were evasive--
And SO was her cheek.
Then at last l assumed the offensive;
Her trust proclaimed, was my right,
l was wounded, my manner was pensive,
An | mourned for my life'S early blight
SO with signs that nv Dos m were rendlng,
Aud tears that DISTRACTED her sight
Well I'm not going to tell you the ending,
But kissed her good night.

a Fair Beer Agent.
From the Minneapolis Journal.

The other day a very pretty girl, dressed in
the nattiest and SWEETEST kind of a gown, sat
upon the pavilion at Mnnetonka beach. Som
one came by and saw her and fled to the hotel.
In about four minutes a score of people were
down upon the pavilion. There was the girl,
and oh! horrors! she was drinking beer. A
pretty. handsomely dressed girl drinking
'piebe' beer, 1t was overpowering. That is.
the sight was Overpowerine to the lookers-on.
The beer had no appreclable effect upon the
girl To think that nice-looking girl like
that would drink beer in such place, gasped a
fascinating lady who has consumed quarts of
champagne IN the shadow of the porch. when
she thought she was concealed from sight.
Whether her horror was caused by the fact that
the girl would drink plain beer or because she
drank it in daylight before folks was not
plain Then the lookers-on sauntered down by
the maid to see what the bottle looked like But
the pretty girl did not mind them in the least
Then the crowd went back TO the hotel TO talk it
over, and to commentf rther upon the girl And
the girl wandered off, too, very III cernedly. She
draws salary rom the manufacturers of that
beer, and big one, too. 1t is one of the clever
est and most successful advertising schemes of
late years The girl COMES from Milwaukee
She will be rich, fancy.
