An Aged African Who Has Theories
and Philosophers.
The steamer st. Nicholas came in from
Bludton at s O'Clock last night with q
crowd of about 200 coored excursionists,
which the steamer took out yesterday
morning. As the vessel steamed up the
river to her mOOrings the excursionists
sang several songs, and the African melody
was echoed back by the buildings under the
bluff, an people on the Bay listened with
rapt attention to the dual songs, which
were melodiously rendered, and by the echo
lowered to a softer cadence.
An old colored man leaned over the bluff
railing at the foot Of Lincoln street, and
when approached by MORNING NEWS re-
porter was very communicative.
Oats powerful sweet, boss" he said.
Pears like de angels done sings back at
him, and he sing so low like"
The reporter explained that it was the
echo, but the old man, although it was care
fully explained to him, couldn't get the
hang of it. He studied awhile and said, in
a half satisfied way, dat may be fac,

of everything" and he suddenly
changed the subject by saying,

be at work to be out Of job.

TIE HUGHES oRHMAToRY
Fire to be Put in the Furnace Within
Three Weeks.

Messrs. Il. D. Hughes, president, and Ed
ward Shallow, chief engineer, of the United
States Gas and Fuel Company of Phila-
delphia, are in the city to push the finishing
work in the construction of the Hughes
crematory at the foot of Gwinnett street.
Mr.. Hughes said last night that the walls
Of the furnace proper had been built up to
a hight of feet all around, aud with good
weather the crematory will be finished
within ten days, with only the approaches
TO be constructed. He says that he can see
no reason why the fire cannot be started in
the furnace within three weeks from to-day,
ample time to complete the crematory
within the time stipulated in the contract.
Mr.. Hughes says tnat all the material and
equipments for the crematory are on the
ground, except the oil tank, which will
reach here by the steamer Juniata to- NOR
row. The tank was built in Philadelphia
ready for being put in place, and is II
feet high, 10 feet in diameter and has a ca
pacity of 1000 gallons, mere than large
enough to contain the contents of a tank
car, the largest of which hold but 5000 gal
Ions, aud the average capacity of which is
but 4,500 gallons. Although the piping
which IS to convey the oil from the tank
car to the crematory has a fall of about
twenty-four feet. Mr.. Hughes says'he will
use pump TO facilitate the rapid discharge
of the oil from the tank car.

What Supports the People.

There are still great many people who
are wrestling with the problem of how the
balance of their fellows make living.
The fact Of there being an advance In the
price of real estate with some of which
they have failed to provide themselves)
veKes their righteous souls, and they ex-
claim: What is there to warrant it9 We
have nc. manufactured What is there to
support the peoplep
The natural growth Of the city, the in
crease Of population, its growing import
ance as commercial center, the increased
wealth of our people, all warrant the pres
ent demand for real estate, and even a
greater demand.
While our manufacturing interests are
not as great as those of Philadelphia or
PittSburg, yet they are greater than a great
many of our people think for. 1t is
healthier for our community to be sup
ported by several small industries than by
few large ones. If time and space per-
mitted, the readers hereof would be amazed
at the showing that could be made. Any
well-informed person of the city who will
take the trouble can make list of enter
prises in the city which successfully sup
ports thousands of people.
1t is by these means and others. that the
people are being supported. The very
pleasant fact continues in force, that no
matter how, yet they are supported-that
there is less beggary among US than in any
otter city of the same size in the country
that abject suffering is unknown; that the
masses are prosperous, and that a greater
number in proportion to the population
own homes than in any other place in the
south.
The number in this latter class will
be largely increased by the sale of lots on

Lots ofLots.

When banks fail aud stocks and bonds be-
come worthless, real estate is always there
to show for itself, and is considered in the
financial world solid thing, and the man
or boy that neglects to take advantage of
the opportunity to become a land owner
certainly makes a mistake. II some Of our
young men would stop smoking or drop
some Of their clubs and apply the money
saved by so doing to the monthly payment
on some nicely located lot, they would not
only be property owners, but would have
something that would continually be in
creasing in value. Let every young man in

those cheap lots on West Fourth street, and
when that is paid for buy another. All of
this can be easily done and the money

FRUIT TO BE PLENTY.

Advices from the Orchard Sections
Report Big Crops.
The fruit dealers here are in receipt of
letters daily, advising them of the Immense
crop of peaches that will be gathered. In
some sections the fruit growers are thinning
out the fruit in the hope of making it grow
larger. but since the method is not generally
practiced among the nurSerymen, it is
thought it will avail them little. The crop
gives promise of being unprecedentedly
large in almost every kind of fruit except
apples.
A dealer said last night that advices from
growers along the line of the Central rail
road and the Savannah, Florida aud Western
railway, show that the apple crop
Is practically a failure No great
shipment of apples is expected this
season. Commissioner of Agriculture
Henderson of Atlanta says: "Look out for
the biggest fruit crop ever made in Georgia.
There is no danger of blight | consider a
magnificent fruit crop absolutely assured
all over the state. The most universally
gratifying feature of the present seasons
condition is the a1ttering prospect of the
fruit crop. Frost hasn't done much harm
The reports of injuries by frost are few and
far between. The orchards throughout
the state are loaded with young fruit
of every kind, and the vineyards give
promise Of their usual bounteous yield. The
peach crop, which is the most uncertain
regarding frost, and the grape crop, which
is the most reliable under all circumst tances,
are the most promising. / think that the
strong probability is that the largest fruit
crop ever known in the history Of the state
will be harvested"

The Water Rates.

SAVANNAH, May 1S-EditOr Morning
Nelos: Kickers will exist in all commuui-
ties. Alderman Wells may be correct in
his views, that parties use more water than
they are entitled to, but many heavily bur
dened taxpayers DO not agree with him as
to tho method of raising funds for the new
water works. II is true that pure water is
a luxury that a community are willing to
pay reasonable amount for, although it Is
TO be regretted that we cannot indulge in il
frea of taxation. Some time since our city
fathers substituted artesiaa pumps for the
surface wells, thus furnishing free water to
part Of the population and releasing one
third OF the property owners from paying
their pro rata share Of water rent while the
other two-thirds are required TO pay the
entire amount. Is this equitable. We have
noticed in our immediate vicinity small
houses without water renting for t6, 81 and
s. per month, yet tho tenants draw their
supply from the city's pumps free, and in
many instances their demands for washing
purposes far exceed the quantity used by US
who are compelled to pay from 81
to $l3 per ansum according TO the
value Of our property. In certain
locality there are twenty houses sup plying
themselves from one street hydrant.
Owners OF the property are thus deprivlng
the city Of about 81 800 per arnum. Where
is the wisdom in this Therefore, instead
of our worthy Alderman Wells increasing
the present burdensome rates. he should
have a census taken Of the houses in the
city without water, and tax the owners
according to thar value, on the samo basis
as che other two-thirds are taxed. We hope
this question Of water rates will be care
fully considered by our worthy aldermen
before action is taken.
