MELONS ALL HIGHT YET.
The Bottom Not Quits Dropped c
of the Market.

The Bottom Not Quits Dropped Out
of the Market.
The bottom has not dropped out of the
melon market yet. If the shipment of in
ferior fruit can be stopped the market
will be all right. The manager of the
Macon Produce Exchange, which is
handling the western melon shipments, says
the market is in better condition
now than it has been for q week. The
prospect is that good stock will con inuA t.
bring satisfactory prices The ind @
crop will not hurt western markets before
Aug. |. South Carolina is now shipping at
the rate of only about sixty carloads per
day.
''If we can keep out the culls," said a
loading shipper, 1T will be all right, but
when lot Of poor melons are sent into
town, it spoils the market even for good
ones, and it remains spoiled until the culls
are gone. Good melons, weighing from
twenty pounds up, will always bring decent
prices where the market is not glut.ed.
Growers will learn, after awhile, not to ship
Door stock. Another source of trouble has
been the exaction Of freight prepayment on
the lines running north and east Of Atlanta.
This has sent an overload of melons
to the western markets, which
are now pretty well glutted in consequence.
Still good melons are bringing from $3.50 to
S175 per car load in Chicago. st. Louis and
Kansas City are beginning TO be supplied
from the Missouri crop. In all probability
it will pay to ship first class melons to the
north and east eight or ten days YET.

The Dress Parade ana Drills on the
Beach.
The military. drill and dress parade at Ty-
bee yesterday afternoon was an interesting
event. The German Volunteers, twenty eight
strong, under command OF Capt. Kolshorn,
went down on the 320 train. 1t was the
Volunteers first appearance here in their
new uniforms. which are like those worn by
the Cadets, and they showed up we'll.
The drill OF the Atlanta Zouaves and
Sacred Heart Cadets took place before the
dress parade. Capt. Kolshorn formed a
square around the drill ground and placed
sentries twelve feet apart to keep back the
crowd so as to give the companies room for
the maneuvers and evolutions 1t was a
wise step aud prevented the crowdinR which
the Oglethorpes of Augusta experienced
last week, beside giving everyone an oppor-
tunlty of getting good view of the drill.
The Zouaves put up fine exhibition, and
were repeatedly applauded. The Sacred
Heart Cadets sword drill was an exhibition
hat is seldom seen around Savannah, and
The manner in which the Cadets executed
the difficult movements showed careful
training.
After the drill battalion was formed
consisting of the German Volunteers, At
lanta Zouaves and Sacred Heart Cadets, and
Reilly, on the invitation of Capt Hollis of
the Zouaves and Capt. Kolshorn of the
Volunteers commanded the battalion, and
Adjt. Gailliard and Sergt. Maj. Collins of
the First regiment acted in their respective
capacities for the occasion. The dress parade
was a success in every detail. The Regi

Time Hereafter

Bidders for City Contracts to be On
Time Hereafter.
The action of the city council in refusing
confirmation to the Holly water works con-
tract on account of its being thirty-fve
minutes late seems to have a general ap-
proval. None feel that the water commit
tee had anything but the best interests of
the city in view in accepting the
bid, but tho precedent is what
every one objected to- If it had
been allowed to stand, it is claimed that it
would have left loophole for probable
fraud In the future. A party bidding for
any public work might hold his bid back
until, by some means, he had heard the
amounts of his competitors, fix his price to
suit, and then demand that the bid be re-
ceived under the precedent established.
The water committee will TODAY adver-
tise for new proposals; Aug. 20 will be the
day fixed for receiving bids, and there is no
doubt that any bid which should happen to
get in one minute late will be rejected.

HOW FISH HOOKS ARE MADE.
Points of Interest to Anglers Concern
ing Their Weapons.

ing Their Weapons.
From the Washington Star.
The making OF fish hooks is not merely a
trade in itself. Anglers consider that it is,
properly speaking, au art. In England the
best ones are made, because all manufact-
ures of steel excel in that country, where
every product of that material. from razors
down, is beyond compare. Hooks of the
first quality are made from the very best
cast-steel wire, which is turned out in coils
at Sheffield and Birmingham.
The first process is to cut the wire into
lengths suitable for the HOOKS to be made.
Ordinary sizes are chopped off by the guam
THY with machine, Tut the big ones for
use In catching sharks and other big sea
fishes are cut singly with a hammer and
chisel. After the lengths of fire have been
cut off, another operator takes them and
turns up the barbs by cutting into the yet
soft metal with a knife upon an anvil.
Next the straight pieces are taken in hand
by workman who files the points to KEEN
ness. Where the best hooks are concerned
each one is manipulated separately, being
held in pncers while the necessary sharp
ness is given By a few dex.erous strokes.
Common hooks are pointed with one file,
but the finer sorts require the application
OF two or three different degrees of coarse
ness.
The points once made. another workman
takes Tue bits OF wire III hand, bending them
round in curved piece of steel, 80 that
each one shall have the characteristic
t1exure which makes the type of hook de-
sired. The process of forming the instru-
ment Is now completed, save for the shank,
which may either be loop at the end of
the wire or flattening at the extremity.
The flattening is done by one sharp blow
with hammer upon an anvil.
The hnal process is the temperfng of the
hooks to harden them, and when all these
operations have been completed they are
secured in revolving barrels driven by steam
power and filled with water aid soft soap.
When the friction has worn them bright
they are dried in another revolving barrel
contai ing Sawdust.
In old times fishermen made their own
hooks, using very much the same methods
as are now praoticed on a large scale in the
factories. 1t is very curious fact that
during the bronze age, when metals had
first come into use, fish hooks had the same
forms as now, even to the shanks and
curves. The famous Limerick" and
"Shaughnessy" bends are absolute repro
auctions Of those preferred in that early
epoch.

Yesterday or thereabouts was the day

rain period of the 1891 crop season.

general The center Of this storm wave
will probably enter the continent about the
north line of California and pass through
Montana, South Dakota aud eastward
along the line of Western Iowa and Ohio,
and the heaviest rains, halls, gales and tor
nadoes will occur south of that line. The
storm will be at its greatest force on July
25 when its center will be in the Rocky
mountains and will gradually decrease in
force as it moves eastward. The destructive
force Of these storms is usually manifest
from 500 to 1000 miles southeast of the
storm center.

The shipping interests and coast jewellers

forecast is not unnecessarily sensational,

hurricanes will seriously affect the weather

TIE GATES MUST GO,
The Mayor and Six Aldermen Favor
Their Removal.

The Mayor and Six Aldermen Favor
Their Removal.
The park gates must go. Six aldermen
and Mayor McDonough have announced
themselves in favor of it. and it is thought
the absent aldermen will also favor it.
Mayor McDonough wants to have the en-
tire fence removed as soon as an appropria-
ton can be made for the purpose, but, in
the meantime, he wants TO have the gates
taken down. The mayor doesn't take much
stock in the runaway-horse plea against
the step.
Alderman Reid said he will most heartily
favor the removal of the gates, and, as soon
as practicable, the entire fence. There is no
necessity 10 have the people opening and
shutting gates when they want to get in or out
of the park. and the appearance Of the park,
he thinks, will be greatly benefited by their
removal. Alderman Reid said he was glad
to see the MORNING NEWS take hold of the
matter and show the sentiment of the
people.
The resolution will likely be offered at the
next meeting OF council to remove the gates,
and in about two weeks, from present indica-
lions, they will have been numbered with
the past.
