recalled the incident few days ago, says a
writer in the New York World, as I sat in
Trinity listening to Phillips Brooks noontime
talks. 1t happened in the spring of 1888. The
four OF us had gone to Europe together-Dr
McV ickar, of Philadelphia Philips Brooks and
Mr.. Robinson the builder OF Boston's Trinity
church. Robinson stands feet inches in his
stockings, DR.. McVickar measures 6 feet 4
inches, and Brooks exceeds feet in night
Robinson IS sensitive about his length. and sug-
geSted that in order to avoid comment the three
tall men avoid being seen together Arriving
In England, they went direct to Leeds, where
they learned that lecturer would address the
working classes on America aud \ m .ricans. d"
Anxious to hear what Englisnmen thought of
the great republic they went to the hall They
entered seperatly and took seats apart The
lecturer, after some embarrassing remarks said
That Americans were, as a rule. short and
seldom il ever rose to the hight of five feet te
inches. He did not know to what cause he could
attribute this fact, but he wished he could pre-
sent examples TO the audience.
Phillips Brooks rose to his feet and said: II
am an American and, as you See, about six
feet in hight. and sincerely hope that if there be
any other representative OF my country present
he will rise"
After moments interval, Mr.. Robinson rose
and said: I am from America, in which
country my hight-six rect two-is the subject
OF no remarl. If there be any other American
here, hope that he will rise"
The house was in jolly humor. Waiting I'M
til the excitement could abate in some degree.
and the lecturer regain control of his shattered
nerves, DR.. McVickar slowly drew his majestic
form to its full hight, and exclaimed: Il am
an -" But he got no further. The audience
roared, and the lecturer said no more on that
subject.

If Miss Mary Letter has become engaged to
Sir Charles Hall, she has done well. He was
the chief of the English delegates to the mari
time conference, which sat at Washington last
summer fail and winter, aud altogether the
ablest member of the conference. He got it to
do pretty much what he wanted The English
government appeared to appreciate his work.
for it conferred knighthood on him as soon
as he had returned to London. Miss | eiter's
father is Londoner of the Hehrew
race, who made some millions of dollars as
one of the great dry goods firm of FIELD, Letter
& Co. of Chicago. After he had retired from
business. about four years ago, he went to
Washington and rented from Mr. b aiue the
handsome house which he built, but has never
occupied. Neither Letter pere nor Letter mere

Savannah in 1900.

There is no doubt that the Macon and
Atlantic aud the South Bousd railroads will
be running trains into this city before this
time next year. The first mentioned rail-
road is part Of a great system which
already extends to Palatka, Fla, on the
south, and which viii soon extend to Bir-
minghaln in the west. The Sluth Bound
railroad has been projected TO the South
Carolina railroad, and from that point viii
BE- built 70 a connection with the Robin
son, or Roanoke southern System, which is
the rival OF the Richmond ana Danyille and
the Plant and Coast Line systems.
There is also a very fair prospect of the
South Bound bang extended TO Florida
These new roads run through countries
already well settled and therefore ready to
contribute to the business of Savannah.
There IS a rumOr that the Savannah,
Amercus and Montgomery railroad will
build into this city as soon as it has com
pleted its road to Montgomery, Ala. To
these positive and prospective aids to Sa-
vanneh's progress may be added the
Middle Georgia and Atlantic rail-
road from Atlanta TO this city which
was recently granted certain privileges by
the city council. With these emit rprises
completed it is not predicting beyond the
possibilities when it Is asserted that before
the close of this century the city will be
fairly well built up to Southover Junction
on the south, the Fair Grounds on the west
and Waters road on the east, AMI that
100000 people will be living within those
boundaries

Il is uot necessary to say 70 thoss who

tTicts where there shall happen to be wen

This di- trict contains several counties
which have a large proportion Of negro

II Is well known however, that here, as
elsew here, an ex. raordinary eff IT is being
made 70 bring out a heavy republican vote
LsrEe sums Of money have been raised by
the Republican party 70 buy up votes, MT
only L. the south, but in the north, east AMI
west. OF course the colored voter in the
south does not get any Of tbs
money for the reason that,
as a rule. if he votes at all he css s his ballot
blindly according to the directions Of his
leader. These leaders, however, are paid
for their services and must make a good
show Of earning their wages. Therefore
they are doing everything possible to get
cut their followers, and doubtless will sue
coed in polling a much larger vote than
usual.
In view Of these facts there should be no
lukewarmness or overconhdence upon the
part Of the democracy. Every democrat in
the district should see to it that every vote
within his purview is cast for Mr.. Lester.
This Is no time Tor divisions on minor is
sues No merely personal preferences or
prejudices should influence any man sut-

imperative duty to his country. And the
most important duty devolving upon us all
to-day is to put forth every legitimate
effort to elect democrat TO represent the

General press denunciation of the Italian
assassins Of the chief of police of New Or
leans has elected some vigorous protests
from the Italian papers. One in New Or
leans INDUCES in a very windy TRADE of
very bad tempered abuse, the gist of which
follows: with q courtesy worthy of ignor-
ant persons only you assume to speak with
contempt OF Italy in general and of Sicily
the beautiful, in particular. Do you know
what Italy is and what is Sicilyl No, csr-
tainly not. Because otherwise it would be
shame to contrast our motherland with
your own uncivilized, so-called land of
liberty. II 39S years ago the "Dagon
Christopher Columbus had not discovered
your present country you would still be In
your country of Europe leading q life Of
misery and dying, perchancc, by force, wait
ing for the help of public charity" Such
fnsolent language as that does not tend to
temper pnblic sentiment toward even the
soidisdnt better class of Italians if this
writer is a fair specimen. Another protest
of q more dignifed and becoming character
is said to have been sent to the state depart
ment in which the Italian minister set forth
VIC COlO1leS OF Ln0 United
States. and especially the colony at New
Orleans, view with horror the assassination
of Chief of Police Hennessy, and
express the earnest hope that the
murderers will be speedily dis
covered and punished; but In the
meantime they request that justice shall
not be influenced by wrong impulses, and
that the misdeeds of a few puiltv narsons
shall not reflect upon the many thousands
of honest and innocent Italians III this
country" Concerning that Mr.. Blaine is
said to have telegraphed the governor of
Louisiana. So long as any nationality
maintains secret organizations of an unlaw-
full character peculiarly its own and then
offers no assistance in bringing offenders to
Justice, just so long will that whole nation
atty be suspected of completely in the crimes
of its compatriots.
