The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1891-09-27

Here is aromantic anecdote about Louisa
Alcott'5 father and mother. As young
man, Mr.. Alcott, so the story goes, was
amanuensis or secretary to Mrs Acott's
father. The two young people met often
aud naturally fell in love with each other
Mr.. Alcott's social position and prospects
being somewhat uncertain at that time. he
did not feel justified in asking this we'll
born and talented young woman to marry
him. He finally gave up his position and
they parted with no confessions on either
side. 1t was agreed. however, that each
should keep a journal, and that these jour-
nails should be exchanged once In so often.
Thus matters went on for some time; he,
unwilling to ask SO much and offer so little: :
she. willing to give all and chatting under a
woman's necessity Of kesping silent At
length, one day, while reading the journal
he had sent her, she came across few som
fences in which he limited at his love and
unhappipess, and wondered what she would
say if he should ever presume to ask her
hand in marriage The moment was IA
critical one, but Mrs Alcott was equal to
it. Selling pen. quickly and clearly abe
wrote underneath: "Supposlng you ask
her aud fiad out" 1t is said that the jour
nal is still preserved In the Alcott family.

THE CLOTHES DESTROYING ELEVATED.


There are many ways Of running a new
hat but one of the surost is to staod or pass
under an elevated road during or just after
Il rain without the shelter of widespread
ing umbrella. Tho distillation of SCOT,
street dust, iron powder and oil possesses
staining powers of an extraordinary kind,
with qualities of indelibility that might
offer a hint to the manufacturers Of writing
fluids.
IL is safe to say that thousands OK dollars
worth OF hats and clothes are every year
ruined By the dripping from the elevated
roads IN New York, and in large number
Of cases-particularly as the leakings often
occur in fair weather-ths victims are I'M
sus oieious.
Probably there is no easy way of RENEE
dying this annoyance. An overhead struct-
vi e is bound to drip after it has been
rained on. and the beams aud ties are con-
stantly storing the oil and dust necessary 10
accomplish the mixture. Perhaps it might
be possible to have covered crossings but
this would sound fantastic, especially to
the railway officials, who might advise you
to do better and hire a cab TO run the
gauntlet In.

were rugged so as to increase the difficulty
or learning from the outside the char
actcr and sequence OF the events inside.
Entries have not been given ont for publ
cation before the race, aud programmes
have not been given out on the track until
twenty minutes before each race. Instead
OF an announcement Of the result of each
race by means of the usual large figures aud
and letteTs in full view of the whole mass
OF spectators, the result is now hung inside
the stand, where there is no chance
OF Its being seen from the outside
and where it can be seen by only
a small portion OF the spectators.
The result of all this is much confusion.
Without the entries the pool rooms are ut
terly at loss. Nobody knows what he is
going TO the track TO see. The newspapers
have no announcements TO pique curiosity.
AT the track, where thousands gather in
spite Of the absence of single announce
Tnent, there is every day an. unseemy
scramble Tor programmes " hen the moment
OF distribution arrives. There is another
scramble after each race TO ascertain tho
result for the word must be passed along
by those who are in a position u get "a
glimpse of the diminutive announcement
figures. Everybody has been growing
and growing peevishly if not threaten
ingiy. But the Dryers have stubbornly
held out
no SAAONbs VI tue I6lebTApu company anu
Others to get at the returns, in spite OF tho
prohibition, have been exciting in the high
est degree. 1t has been the joke of the day
that after the Dryers have built a fenos as
high as the wall of panorama the aspirants
for racing intelligence will go up In balloons
and watch the contests through searching
telescopes. The other day a woman was
caught waving a signal from a window at
the back of one of the stands, and other
woman, who had walked to position from
which she could make a signal, was ordered
back to the inclosure by Pinkerton men.
The tricks and devices resorted to by the
emissaries of the pool rooms are Of great
number. But, in the main, the plan OF the
jockey club is successful
Meanwhile the men who are said TO COM
plain most bitterly are the trainers who
have horses at Sheepshead Bay. These are
compelled to secure passes before they can
get their horses through the gates, and they
have often found, on reaching the track,
that their horses, taken through in the
dark, as it were, have no chance at all.
The whole situation is curiouslY pictur-
esque and in many epecIs one of the fun
NEST in the racing history of the country.

Why Is It?

We have, ia our experience, met a
number Of men, in every magma
BILE line of business but tho hsppiest,
most energetic and agreeable fellows
ore the agents Of the Well.known and
popular Davis Sewing MSchInei
They are as happy ss the day is long.
They make everybody with whom
they have dealings feel the same.
Why is iLP They are men from the
ordinary paths Of life, chosen more
for their honesty and responsibility
than on account OF their mechanical
skill, because this Davis machine Is
the very acme OF mechanical sim
pllciIy and requires no skill in its
manipulation. One hours operation
IN a customers house amply demon
slrates this fact and it's advantages
become ct once apparent. II does
not take the lady long 10 decide 10
favor OF this machine, finding. a.
she dOes, that she can do work on /,
that would be impossible on machines
Of the underfeed pattern. Any lady
Who has any knowledge Of tue Davi,
aud otheg machines will tell you
without hesitation that the Davis Is
incomparably she best. Not onlJ

is as pleasing as 1t is surprising. J
