The Rodiyas cannot enter temple or a

He Was a Man Of Honor.

Jeff Bryant and his brother Abe each owned
large tracts Of land near Boston, and they were
bachelors, says the Chicago Tribune.
One day the brothers agreed that the one
that married first should have the others land
nine years ago, Abe called at JEFF house.
Good morning, jeff"
How dye do. my boy" answered JEFF.
JEFF, you remember that marriage agree
ment We nader" asked Abe.

Sure as you're alive" answered jeff 81
haint got no use for man as will go back on
his word"
We'll, you are right, JEFF. and you shall be
my best man"
So the compact was sealed, but JEFF did not
intend to give UP his / 100 acres so easily. He
just fooled Abe. Instead Of waiting for Abe
to get married on Wednesday JEFF hitched up
and called on neighbours daughter and pro-
posed that very Sunday night, He was &C.
copied and they were married Monday.
Then he went TO Abe saying:
ABE. that little agreement OF ours, you re-
member"
Yes; well?"
You see was married this morning and
want to know IL you allow to keep your prom
ise~
well, this is Q little suddint like, but reckon
it's all right. Til keep my word ;"
And he did. Abe transferred his property to
JEFF. On Wednesday Abe was married as per
contract and went to live on a rented tract of
land.
Singularly enough, the brothers have been
good friends all these years.

The River and Harbor Bill.

There is hardly a doubt now that the
river and harbor bill will become a law.
The conferees OF she two houses have reached
an agreement and their report will
undoubtedly be confirmed This river and
harbor bill means great deal for Savan-
nah. 1t means twenty-six feet of water in
her harbor from her wharves to the sea
within the next three or four years II
means that the time is not distant when large
steamers with their valuable cargoes will
not have to wait on the tides. 1t means also
the employment Of larger steamers in
Savannah's commerce and lower freight
rates, And the vast section Of country
tributary to her will be benefited by the
lower rates.
When this bill Is signed there will be a
boom feeling In Savannah. Her merchants
will feel like extending their business oper-
ations and her real estate owners will look
forward to an exceedingly active real estate
market.
1t cannot be many days before the bill
will be law.

summer business GOOD.

June and July are considered duh months
In southern cities, but Savannah is an ex-
ception to the rule The wharves are lined
with vessels, and "iongshors" il looks as
though it were the busy season. In June
eighty-seven vessels arrived, not including
inland and river steamers, or vessels under
100 tons.
There is also a great deal Of building
going on. Houses are erected so quickly
that they are furnished and occupied
almost before people in the neigh
borhood are aware that they have
been begun. The retail stores appear to be
doing a good business and the suburban
and Tybee railroads are well patronized
If a former resident Of Savannah, after an
absence Of ten or fifteen years. should re-
turn to the city at this season he would be
led to wonder whether a remarkable change
Of some sort had not taken place, the busy
season coming in the summer instead Of the
winter.
Savannah is growing in every respect.
There is no doubt about that. And the
people who are to be part of the 100, 900
inhabitants she is to have in the near future
are coming every day,

A very complete investigation of Mr.
Flagler's great hotels at st. Augustine by
DIR. Billings. the eminent surgeon of the
United States army and the well-known
sanitary expert, shows that there is no foun
dalton whatever for the reports which ap-
peared In several of the New York papers
some months ago to the effect that mum
Der of cases OF typhoid fever had originated
in them. DIR. Billings says it is impossible
for typhoid fever to originate in any one
of these hotels The few cases of that fever
that were at st. Augustine last spring were
contracted, doubtless, by the victims before
they went there.

He Can't Stand on the Platform.


1t looks very much as IL Judge Gresham
could have the third party nomination for
President IL he would accept it. There has
been quite persistent effort to get him to
say he would accept it il it should be offered
to him. In a dispatch published in the
MORNING NEWS to-day he says he would
not accept 1t on the platform. He refers
of course, to the St Louis platform, be-
cause the Omaha convention has not yet
adopted a platform. But the platform
which the Omaha convention will adopt is
pretty certain to contain the very things
to which Judge Gresham objects. He
DOESN'T like the subtreasury scheme for
one thing, and that is one Of the leading
third party demands
There is no doubt that Judge Gresham
would be a popular candidate. He would
get the votes OF a great many republicans.
He is republican and has been spoken OF
for many years as q candidate for the re-
publican presidential nomination. II he
differs with the Republican party in any
essential particular his views must have
undergone a change quite recently. IL is
true that he has never been an extreme par
tisan, bat up to the time of his appoint
ment as United States circuit Judge he was a
very active member of the Republican
party.
The MORNING NEWS said some days ago
that Gen. Weaver was much more likely to
be nominated for President by the third
party than Judge Gresham, because he is
in entire harmony with It, And there are
evidences that he expects It.
1t is not likely that the Omaha conven-
ton will frame a platform to suit Judge
Gresham. II it should do so the third party
would be greatly weakened, because the
charge would be made that it had to aban-
don some of its most cherished demands In
order to get a satisfactory candidate for
President
