The Barn Cat,
AQricul'

y
A barn cat always looks sleek and fat. and
obtains its OVID living by catching rats and
mice. House cats are, usually fed so abun-
dainty that they have never been known
to catch a mouse. and about the only live
thing they were ever known to catch was
the canary bird. Notwithstanding this act.
they are allowed 10 live, eimply because
they know no better, and are themselves
pets. A good active cat that will spend
most of its time about the barn buildings,
Kidding them of mice and other vermin. Is
worth ut least S5 per year to any farmer.
All families of cats are not good mOusers,
but when you are able to obtain one of a
family that is, take it to the barn, provide
q nice warm place for 1t to sleep, and take
food to it until it feels quite at home.
Should it 60 to the house. carry it back.
and after a time drive IL to the barn If 1t
~frequents the house, and it will soon learn
that the barn is its home, and remain
there, catching its living about the build
ings and fields.

Interesting Curios for the Historical
Society Collection.

Interesting Curios for the Historical
Society Collection.
The Georgia Historical Society held its
June meeting last night. The president,
Gen. Henry r. jackson, presided. Beyond
the usual routine business nothing Of special
Importance came before the meeting.
Several curious war relics were contrib
uted to the society's collections. Col. j. H.
Estill contributed an old torpedo found In
the river at Sisters Ferry supposed to have
been placed there by the confsderates dur
ing the approach of Sherman's army, In
1864.
An old bayonet incrusted with rust was
contributed by Mr.. II. j. Thomasson. 1t
was found while excavating for the foun-
daticns Of the house now being erected on
State street, between Bull and Drayton. The
bayonet is supposed to belong to the revo.
lutionary or ante-revolutionary period, as
1t Is said the house on State street was
headquarters for British troops during the
revolutionary war and earlier.
Maj. 4. A. Blandford contributed a small
shell and a number of grape shot found by
him In his surveys of the county, being
| relics Of the federal occupation.
The she'll is still loaded and was handled
very carefully.
The president stated that In accordance
with instructions the committee of officers
appointed for that purpose had received
from the secretary of the Telfair Library
and Art Union the amount of money on
hand when the union dissolved, and had
reoeipted for the same. The president read
a copy of the letter by the committee to the
secretary Of the art union, regretting its
demise and correcting the impression under
which it had labored with regard to its con-
nection with the historical society.
Mr.. j. deBruyn Hops presented the So
oiety copy of Roberts Rules Of Order -
with the suggestion that all future delibera-
| tions Of the society be governed by it. A
| committee was appointed to examine the
work and report.
Mr.. Hops introduced resolution re-
questing Director Brandt of the Tefair
academy to paint a portrait Of Miss
Telfair. The resolution was referred to
the board of managers of the academy.
The treasurer reported that about oue~
half the members of the society had paid
their dues for 1892.
The subject Of dues was discussed at some
length, and the treasurer was instructed to
present the claims of the society a little
more actively. Four new members were
elected.

They were taken on trip around Charles
ton harbor to view the forts and landmarks,
and were then shown the city at large.
The ball clubs of both teams went to
Bulow, about eighteen miles from Charles
ton, and played the return game of ball.
A large crowd attended and it was an en-
thusiastio one. The game was exciting. 1t
took three extra innings TO decide it and Sa-
vannah won by one run. The score was II
to 10.
The game was set for seven innings. At
the end Of the sixth inning it looked a sure
thing for the Savannah team, the score
being Toto in its favor, but the Charlestons
caught on to Lilienthal, making two two
baggers and two singles, and tieing the
score. The game then became exciting
The playing was characterized with some
phenomenal points.
The first two Savannah batsmen got their
bases in the ending Of the seventh inning,
and with Jacobs and the two Lilienthals to
follow at the bat, it looked a Ger tain win

In the eighth inning Goldsmith struck out,
Israel made a hit and got to second. Trieste
hit q corker to right center, which was
beautifully caught by Mitchell-the best
catch of the day. The Savannah team
were put out In one-two-three order. The
same thing occurred to both teams in the
ninth.
The Charlestons were white washed in the
tenth. Rothschild of Savannah got his
base on balls, was advanced on a sacrifice
by Mitchell to third and scored the winning
run on a sacrifice by Cohen.
The battery work of Lilienthel aud Cohen
was very fine, only one man getting his
base off Lilienthal and only one passed ball
being charged to Cohen. G. Lilienthals
record was good all round. A. Abrams at
first and NJ. N. Jacobs at third played fine

President Conner Says There Are No
More Immediate Changes in the
Central.
President H. NJ. Conner of the Central
railroad left for New York last night via the
Atlantic Coast Line. to be absent about ten
days upon business connected with the Gen.
trail railroad President Conner did not ans
nounce the object Of his visit before leav-
ing, but it is supposed to be for the purpose
of comforting with the fnanciers of the
metropolis. the friends Of the Central In
New York and the representatives of the
Terminal company as well. perhaps.
President Conner said before leaving that
he had no changes or appointments to an
nounce. Railroad men are awaiting with
some anxiety the announcement of the sue
cessors Of Supt Dill aud General Passenger
Agent Hard wick Of the Central railroad
and General Manager Wadley and
General Freight and Passenger Agent
Babbitt of the South Bound railroad.
President Conner has announced several
times recently that his policy in filing all
vacancies would be by promotion from the
ranks and not by importing men from other
systems to fill the higher positions of the
service. He says he believes as good rail-
road men can be raised up on the Central
system as anywhere in the country, and he
proposes to give this policy a trial.
