samoa's storm.

A few weeks ago the American and Ger
man fleets at Samoa threatened to destroy
each other. A big storm arose on March
Is and destroyed both fleets. or tbe Ameri-
can vessels the Trenton and the Vandalia
are total loss, and the Nipsic is on the
beach with the chances against her being
saved. Two Of the German vessels are
wrecks, and a third one is beached. The
crews OF both vessels suffered severely. the
loss Of the Germans being ninety-six and OF
the Americans some what less. All the yes
sels were in the harbor at Apia when the
storm began, and they tried to get to sea,
but failed. The English steamer Calliope
was the only war vessel that got out of the
harbor and escaped
The American vessels were old wooden
ones, but they were nevertheless quite val
liable. In the present condition OF the navy
their loss will be severely felt. While they
would not have been OF much account in a
conflict with ironclads, they nevertheless
answered very well for tho purposes for
which they were used
samoa seems 70 be the source Of consider
able loss ~ we'll as trouble 70 us IL Is TO be

A Greatly Bothered committee.

The centennial celebration committeeman
are meeting With all sorts Of annoysnces,
and if they get through with their present
job satisfactorily, they will be ready to
make a vow never to undertake another
like it, They have not yet succeeded in
settling the free ticket question to the salts
faction Of the Legislators at Albany, who
still seem to think that there is an intention
to give McAllister's 400 privileges which are
to be denied TO them. They will succeed
probably in convincing them that they are
not to be discriminate against, and that
they will have chance to rub elbows and
drink wine with the 400
Some fear is expressed that the 400 will
dictate the brand of champagne that will
be provided for the ball. and that it will be
80 expensive that the pockets Of less favored
mortals will not be able to afford it in
sufficient quantities to bring about that
mental condition which is thought 10 be
necessary 10 the full enjoyment Of a ball.
The committeeman, however, have settled
that point by announcing that the wine will
be free, AID that arrangements have been
made TO frdpper four thousand bottles Of
champagne at once. 1t is gently limited
that if any one attempts to work" the re-
freshment table, and imbibeS more than he
can conveniently carry, he will be bounced
whether he is one of the 400, member Of
the legislature or only one Of the common
herd.
The navy officers are making things
lively for the committeeman, because the
navy is TO parade under the direction Of the
general of the army, instead Of an admiral.
They don't relish having their branch Of
the service merged into the army, and they
are likely TO keep on making disturbance
until they get what they want.
The line Of march is not wholly satisfac-
tory 1t is alleged that it is to be up Fifth
avenue in order to please the rich folk, Of
that street who have promised to erect at
their own expense . triumphal arch. The
poor, however, will manage to get glimpse
OF the show, even if they have to pre-empt
the stoops OF the Fifth avenue palaces.
the President ia expected to follow q
programme which the committeeman
have mapped out for him, but he has shown
himself to be a kicker, and Is causing
trouble. He says that he is willing to do
anything reasonable, but declares emphati-
cally that he will not be made "show Of u
In view of the fact that it is full month
before the celebration will take place the
committeeman have reason to doubt
whether they will survive the annoyances
TO which they are being subjected. In the
meantime they are threatened with great
misfortune. Mr.. McAlllster talks about
resigning the position of manager OF the
ball. Truly the lot of the committeeman is
a hard one

Fifty and fve-an your letters
Tidily bound and kept in place,
Just as they came and as laid them
With friendly lingering, face TO face.
Haif-yeS, half of them came that summer,
After you first had said goodbye.
With your saddened eyes and face averted-
You cared for me them wonder why.
All life was none too glad that summer.
And your love was all too SWEET balm
For heartache-and think it deadened
The pain Of remembrance TO seeming calm.
The daily message quite O'er1owing
With love divine and love away"
Voiced itself sweetly above LIES discord
And banished the twilight cold and gray.
After-how was itg cannot remember
Was it you or who was most to blamei
Well, / suppose it is not much matter,
And fifty years hence twill De all the same I;
And 50 the letters grew short and shorter
And so we diifted world apart,
Until now am sendingy you back your letters,
Sending you letters-and picture--and heart
Rather above you will find it, mon ami,
Re-reading the cast of midsummer dream
hadn't the heart to stir up its ashes
OF burned out love words. There isn't a
CLEAN
OF warmth to be found in the chilly embers-
Once breath would have famed them
ablaze-
1t was so long ago-who quite remembers
Al once have felt in the by-gone days'
These poor little scentless, faded posies,
You gathered for me at Lovers Leap.
Look mute reproach and crave indulgence;
But nay must not, cannot keep
single relic of what once was
And is no more; 20 help forget
shall leave you out of my life-and you
Being man-will be happy yet

The Earl Of Dunraven is not satisfl ed
that the Americas cup should remain in
America, SO he is going TO try to take it
back to England. For some time the
famous builder, Fay, has been engaged in
constructing yacht that in September
next will enter the lists with any American
yacht for the blue ribbon Of the sea. The
challenge was forwarded to this country
several days ago. The Earl is well-known
in parts of this country, having been here
a number of times. He is thorough sports
man, and an old hand at yachting. As
long as the cup remains in America there
will be English yachtsmen who will want to
restore it to the country to which it originally
belonged, but they will probably fail, for
while England has accomplished wonders
in heavy ships and in her mercantile
marine, she seems TO have Jagged behind
in yacht building.

All Pull Together.


The proposition Of President Hawkins, Of
the Savannah, Americas and Montgomery
railroad, to bring his road to Savannah IL
donation of $50, 900 is madc 70 1t, was,
with some notifications, accepted Yesterday
by the committee which has been acting for
the business men and property holders OF
the city. No arrangement has been entered
into yet which is binding. IL the commit
tee sees its way clear to raising the money
there Is no doubt that a bargain will be
made with President Hawkins without I'M
necessary delay.
Is the road worth $780, 600 to Savannah 2
It undoubtedly is, and a great deal more
Then let the business men and property
holders come forward and subscribe the
amount at once There should be no
wrangling about how much this or that
man should subscribe. Let each man de-
termine TO be just e. liberal as his financial
condition will permit him to be, and let all
come forward with their subscriptions
promptly. A road on the line that it is
proposed to build the Savannah, Americas
and Montgomery road is au impera alive
necessity TO Savannah. The opportunity is
presented to get such a road, ard, that too,
at a cost that is well within the means OF
those who are deeply Interested in promot-
ing Savannah's prosperity.
There is a strong feeling in Savannah now
in favor of more railroads. Don't let il die
out without anything being accomplished.
The money that is necessary to build the two
roads that are needed greatly is not drop
in the bucket in comparison with the wealth
of Savannah, or in comparison with the
money value these roads will be to her.

The Macon Telegraph has a new press
and new dress, and is, therefore, not only
prepared to respond more fully than ever
before to the demands Of its patrons, but it
also presents an appearance that is so at
tractive, and it is SO improved in all its de-
partments, that the community in which it
is published has every reason to be proud
Of it. On Thursday it kept "open house"
as it were, and gave the citizens Of Macon
an opportunity Of seeing the new press in
operation. The press prints from stereo-
type plates and has a capacity o! 10000 pa
pers per hour.
