Booths Salvation Colony.

LONDON, Aug. g. 1T appears that part
of the object of General Booth in going

tract of land which he has secured in
Swaziland for starting his Salvation
colony, somewhat on the plan outlined
In Darkest England" The General
will be received on his arrival in Swazi-
land by companies of Salvation Army
Zulus. Many of these fought the British
savagely at the time Of the Zulu war.
They are said to make excellent converts,
the methods of the Salvation Army suit
ing their ideas of religion.

ALWAYS AT FUNERALS.
A Savannah Woman Who Follows
the Hearse.

A Savannah Woman Who Follows
the Hearse.
A leading subject of talk in Savannah is
woman who is seen at all funerals. For
several months she has been conspicuous at
all houses Of mourning. Who she is, where
she lives, whence she comes and where she
goes, many ask but nobody knows She Is
stranger, and she has a strange mania to
be where there is grief. At first
she attracted little or no attention,
but as she was seen at funeral
after funeral, and never in company with
any one. inquiries began to be made about
her. And then it began to dawn upon those
who noticed her that nobody knew her, and
that she was taking inn the funerals SIM
ply because she found pleasure in doing 80.
At first she dressed In colo-s, and then in
half mourning, but now she appears in full
mourning costume, even TO the long thick
black veil.
She Is among the first to appear at the
house Of mourning and among the first to
reach the carriages when the movement to-
ward the cemetery is made. And she is
always DESTROYS 10 get g glimpse of the faces
of the mourners. And to crafty her de-
sire In this respect she sometimes pushes her
way vigorously through the assembled COM
pany.
AT q recent funeral she occupied O car
rage with three ladies. She asked so many
questions about the deceased and conducted
herself 30 queerly that the ladies were
afraid to return to the city from the
cemetery with her. She tried to persuade
them TO occupy the carriage with her, but
they refused, and she returned alone
When the driver Of the carriage asks her
where she wishes to be driven she tells him
20 let ner out anywhere along the street,
and then she quickly disappears. 1t is
thought to be strange that no one knows
her. She must read the papers closely in
order to keep posted about the funerals.
She has the satisfaction of having excited
great deal Of curiosity. People now look
for her when they attend funeral They
want to see the professional funeral-goer
And she Is described as not very attract
i've woman IN appearance
She doesn't show any evidence of grief.
She just seems to be enjoying herself. Diff
ferent people have diferent..ways of sesking
pleasure In this world, but those who hunt
for it &C funerals are mighty few. There is
at least one in Savannah.

OUTLOOK FOR A BIG CROP.
Figures Which Show What is Elk
pected for This Year.

Figures Which Show What Is Ex-
peoted for This Year.
The MORNING NEWS has received an ad-
vance copy Of the cotton acreage statistics
in the United States for June, 1891, issued
from the office of the Commercial and
Financial Chronicle, New York. 1t says:
1--WE demonstrated last June, and have
made even fuller demonstration il cur
acreage reviews on several previous occa-
slons, that the southern states had not
secured full yield on the land planted any
season since 1882. 1t will be remembered
THAT IN 1883 the crop raised was 9, 992, 234
bales, from 16.590,000 acres planted, or
about 1874 pounds to the acre. In the sum-
mer of 1887, 1888 and 1889 the product In
number Of bales marketed was about the
same each year as in 1882, that is about
1,0Oo, ZOO bales, although the acreage had at
the close Of that period of seven years in
creased over 20 per cent. We do not
wonder that some who never follow the
weather conditions closely were inclined
fn view of this stationary character of the
crop measured In bales 30 the lose faith in
acreage results. But those who have taken
the trouble to study carefully the reports
each June have known why 1t was that
full crop was not reached, and have known
also that IL one should be reached how very
much larger the yield would prove to be
than It had been any year OF our record
ut is 30 important as a basis for future
crop estimates that this fact should be
clearly disclosed and recognized. that it Is
not needful to present the data respecting
the years since 1882 In detail And first it Is
desirable TO state more definitely the close
correspondence existing between the pro-
duct of the summer Of 1890 and what q good
year ought to produce on the acre
age reported. The planning for
the 1890 crop, as we made
up the figures wear ago. was 90, 852, 800
acres. For the 1882 crop the total planting,
as already stated, was 16, 500, 600 acres; but
as the yield in 1882 was an exceptionally
good and full one, the product turned out
to be 1874 pounds per acre. Figuring a
similarly good and full crop for 189O-that
Is, the same production per acre Q94 pounds
watch was reached in the full year OF 1882
would bring the 1890 yield up to
4,045. S50, $50 pounds. The weights of
the bales have thus far this
year Q890~'oD averaged 50213 pounds gross
which gives a net Of about 472 pounds. In
other words, on the 1882 basis that is 1914
pounds per acre. the crop statement to be
made up Sept. l should reach $50, 657
bales. Judging from the amount that has
come into sight up to this date the crop is
likely TO reach not far from that figure.
Adding now similar figures for the inter
vening years, we have the following inter-
esting comparison:

ANOTHER ELECTRIC RAILWAY.
The West Eud Company Preparing to
Build a Four-Miie Belt.

| The West Fad Company Preparing to
Build a Four-Miie Belt.
Savannah is to have another electric rail-
way through the western portion of the
city. The West End Railway Company,
which was chartered at the last term of the
legislature, has obtained a franchise from
the city council and the county commits
sioners to build railroad over the follow
ing streets and roads,
Commencing on West Broad street at the
Central railroad depot and running west on
Railroad street, the street just south
of the passenger depot, to the
Louisville, road and thence on the
Louisville and Augusta roads out past the
West End property, and the old fair grounds
to the Hermitage property. which will be
the western terminus of the liue. This will
give line Of about a mile and three
quarters.
The ultimate object Of the company is to
complete the line back from the Hermitage
TO the city, by the wharves, and up Bay
and Farm streets, across West Broad TO
Bryan streets, along Bryan to the
market on the west side. This
would give a belt about four miles in length
around the western section of the city.
The purpose of the company is to develop
real estate held by Its members west of the
city. Capt. Jacob Paulsen, c. G.. Fell, s.
L Lazaron, Edward Karow, Gus Fox and
a number Of others are interested in the
proposed line. They expect to begin work
this fail as soon as the limit set
by the city ordinance prohibiting the
upturning of soil In the streets of the city
expires.
The gentlemen interested believe that
the western portion Of the city, which has
heretofore been neglected. is bound 10 de-
velop very rapidly within the next few
years, the available lands for building pur-
poses In other portions of the city being all
taken up aud held at high prices.
This portion of the city would be espe-
cially convenient to the employees Of the
Central railroad and the Ocean Steamship
Company. The road will also be available
for the transportation Of a large quantity Of
truck produce to the Ocean steamship
wharves now transported by means OF

THE SUMMER SWALLOWS.

People Who Leave the City for the Hot
Spell and Where They Go.
The hot weather, which began in earnest
with the beginning of June, has had the
effect Of Fastening the summer exodus, and
people are leaving rapidly for the resorts.
A number have already gone, many to be
absent for the whole summer, and there is
not day that does not see half a dozen or
more Sevaunahians leave the city. The
number Of departures is increasing every
day.
The railroad ticket agents say that from
the number Of inquiries that are being made
a very large number of people evidently
expect to leave the city before the end Of
June. It would be hard work TO locate
Savannah's absentees during the summer
months. They scatter from Florida to
Canada, from Suwannee Springs to the
Thousand Islands and the lakes. Many
cross the waters and spend the
summer in Switzerland and Germany.
Most OF those who have already gone
bought tickets direct TO New York,
from whence they will go to the various re-
sorts OF the north, chiefly the watering
places.
Suwannee Springs, as usual, will be popu-
lar place with those who have a few days or
few weeks to spend away from the city,
and number of Savannahfans have already
gone there. The majority of the people
who leave the city will go to the numerous
summer resorts of North Georgia and the
Carolinas, Asheville, of course, drawing
the largest crowd. If the military
ind Chickamauga as pleasant as it has been
described the encampment may prove a
big advertisement for the summer resort
and send numbers of Savannahians in that
direction.
One thing is certain, and that is every
'ody who can get away is going 70 do so, if
lnly for week.
