Not 60 Fierce as he Looked.

He had on cowboys hat-he had long hair
and fierce black eyes-there was a claw from

Now and then he felt down the back of his neck
to see if his bowie knife was cuddling up to bis
spine In proper manner, and now and then he
reached down to his boot legs TO see that his
cargo of revovers hadn't shifted.
Three or four OF us. after taking plenty of
time to size him up, decided to ask him how and
where he got the wound which mad left the scar
clear across his left cheek. 1t looked like the
work of Sitting Bulls tomahawk, but we wanted
the particulars. So it was agreed that should
work him up to tell his story. and after a quar-
ter OF an hour OF diplomacy had shaped mat
ters so dared observe:
That is bad scar you have ON your cheek
and there is no doubt story with it,"
Yes sir, there is, he replied.

have no objection"
'oh, the story don't amount to MUCH" he
modestly remarked

There Is an island full of plea ant placesA
For which men hunger ere the day grows old
And thitherward they turn with uplifted faces.
Longing to rest them in its blessed fold
There hurt wounds heal them swiftly of their
smart;
While sweet forgetfulness doth stand as warder
To still the aching tumult OF the heart.
There too. to-day's brief joys shall have great
increase,
And all its longings shall find blessed gain.
While to the toiler there shall come sweet sur

For To- this island knoweth naught of pain. :"

Turned and gave eager question, touched with

persistence
The men of every age and cline do loug?"
And swift in answer, full of sweet insist

And for whose shelter men have long made

Brazirs Fever Stricken Ports.

The virulence of the yellow fever at
Santos and some OF the other ports of
Brazil is 30 great, and the mortality among
the crews Of foreign vessels there has been
so extraordinarily large. that quarantine
officers cannot be too careful in their in.
spections of vessels arriving at South At
lantic and Gulf ports from those ports. 1t
Is a question whether it is advisable to
permit vessels from Santos on which there
have been cases OF yellow fever to enter
any of the southern ports of this country
soon after they have discharged their
ballast and been fumigated at the quaran-
tine stations. Deaths from the fever have
occurred on vessels from Santos quite a
long time after the vessels left that port.
At the New York quarantine extraordI-
nary precautions are being taken with YES
sells from infected Brazilian ports. The
British freight steamer Button, which ar
rived at New York last Wednesday from
Brazil lost her captain and seven of her crew
from yellow fever. Some of them died
while the steamer was on her way to New
York. Her chief officer said that it was not
unusual to see dozen dead or dying men
and women in the streets Of Santos or Bahia
within the distance of one square.
While there may be very little danger in
admitting vessels from infected Brazilian
ports to southern ports at this season of the
year after they have been fumigated, still,
every possible precaution should be taken to
prevent them from bringing in the germs OF
the terrible disease. 1t is absolutely impos-
sible to say how long after the disease has
been on a vessel it is safe to admit her to a
port in the southern part of this country
Therefore, southern quarantine officers
should run no unnecessary risks in dealing
| with vessels from Brazil.

The Anti. sin NIovemant

The movement in New York against the
action of Senator Hill in having the state
convention to name delegates to the national
convention called in midwinter is assum-
ing proportions that command respect
when it was started it was said by Senator
Hills friends that it would not amount to
much, and apparently there was some
reason for what they said, because it was
through Senator Hills efforts that demo-
cratic majority in both branches OF the
legislature was secured, and he had Just
been given a reception by the leading demo-
cratic club of New York city the Man
haitian, whose president, Frederic r.
Coudert, had complimented him very
highly.
But the opinion that the movement
wouldn't amount to anything was a mis-
taken one. Even Mr.. Coudert is giving it
the benefit of his influence, and hundreds Of
other prominent Democrats are in sympathy
with it. 1t has passed the point where it
| could be sneered at with any degree Of sue
cess.
That it has alarmed Senator Hill there is
no doubt. Instead OF being in Washington
he is in Albany. He is trying TO allay the
storm which his action has raised. But it
| is by no means certain that he will be sue
cessful. 1t is not improbable that he
| acknowledges to his closest friends that
| he made a mistake in giving his oppo-
nents the opportunity to say that in hav-
ing the convention meet so early he
aimed to secure delegation that
would support him for the presidential
nomination. The progress of the move
ment will be watched closely in all parts Of
the country, aud the result Of it will be
awaited for with unusual interest.

The Chief Lottery Man.

John A. Morris has been the recognized
head OF the Louisiana lottery for a number
of years. 1t is believed that he owns the
majority of the lottery company's stock.
His wealth is estimated to be between $685.
100000 and $50, 900. 900, nearly all of which
came from the lottery. He keeps I'D nine
luxurious establishments in this country
and Europe, but he spends the greater part
of his time at his residence in New Orleans
and his summer home at Throgg's Neck.
New York. In racing circles he is well
known, his racing stables being among the
best known in this country. For several
years his winnings on the race track have
been as much as $3.50 900 per annum. He
owns the Morris racing park which is as
sessed at 81. 100000.
Morris was not known prominently in
connection with the lottery company until
the death OF Charles T. Howard, who was
the company's first president. How
ard was handsome man and a charitable
one, but he had no social standing In New
Orleans. On the other hand Morris was one
of the leaders of New Orleans society, be-
ing member of the Boston Club, and his
family was particularly conspicuous in all
society affairs. When he came into greater
prominence in connection with the lottery
he and his family were not received with
the same cordiality that had once been ex-
tended 60 them.
His recent card seems to indicate that he
doesn't are 80 much now to increase his
wealth as to recover his social standing.
When the lottery company closes its doors
the fact will be overlooked, probably, in con-
sequence Of his wealth, that he ever had
anything to do with the lottery business.
Wealth covers a multitude of sins.

made so favorable an impression that
4 there is every reason for thinking
/ that Savannah will be given all she
needs to carry forward continuously the
work on the 26-foot project. Representa-
tive Lester, by skillful questions put to
Capt. Carter, who is thoroughly informed
not only about the harbor improvement,
but, also, about the extent Of Savannah's
commerce and its wonderful increase within
the last few years, brought out such facts
as 1t was highly important that the river
and harbor committee should know.
Our dispatches state that it is probable
that the Secretary of War will be author
ized to make contracts for completing the
26-foot project. II that is done Savannah
will have no reason to complain, because it
will enable the engineer in charge Of the
work to complete it within two or three
years.
The deeper water movement has been
managed with skill and Judgment. There
is strong public sentiment-a sentiment
that is not confined to this state-back Of It,
and congress seldom hesitates to do what 1t
believes the people want done. And the
people Of this city are giving the movement
their united and very hearty support.
With SO many influences supporting it. tho
deeper water movement can hardly help
being successful.

CEMENT.
SPECIAL NOTICE.

am pleased to announce that my factory
which have just erected on the Savannah
river, is now in perfect operation. producing
from twenty to thirty tons per day of the cele
brated KINGS ASBESTOS WINDSOR
CEMENT, DRY MORTAR ana FINISH for
plastering walls and ceilings. 1 am the sole
agent and manufacturer of this material for
Georgia, Florida, South Carolina and Alabama.
Though the Windsor Cement has given thorough
satisfaction wherever it has been used as
directed, and the sales have increased oyer 400
per cent. in the past year. experience has shown
that it is advisable to insure perfect work by
mixing the cement by machinery ready for
use. By so doing the only thing left to the
Judgment of the man at the mortar bed is the
right quantity Of water, which any plasterer
can determine.
l claim for this material:
That it makes walls and ceilings more elastic
than any other material known for plasterng.
The asbestos used renders the material
great protection against fire and deadens sound.
The extreme density Of the cement renders it
Vermin and germ proof.
1t il antitrust.
It will not discolor any material 1t is free
from acid.
IL is not made by any chemical process, and
no action takes place after setting, which Is
matter of two or three hours only.
Frost or water will not injure the work after
il is once set.
Experience has shown that ceilings well
soaked from any cause Will dry out as strong as
ever. Falling ceilings are unknown. and the
plastering will last long as the building itself.
1t can be finished in any way of which
ordinary pastering is capable.
If directions are followed, | guarantee all we
claim. Walls and ceilings made from this
material are second to none; and considering
the advantages named, the excess of cost above
lime and hair is q small matter 1t is less ex-
pensive than any other patent plaster.
This material is no experiment. and is Endorsed
by the best architects and builders wherever it
has been used.

The story told in the MORNING NEWS
yesterday of the wreck OF the Western
North Carolina train near Statesville last
August by John Boyd, negro, proves the
perpetrator to have been a very devil. His
purpose was robbery, and to accomplish it
he sacrificed twenty-three lives and an IN
told amount OF property; then after the
wreck he stole from the dead. In such a
case as this the gallows seems too tame and
the laws delays too long.
