he was doing, which. to him, seemed like a
succession of insults to Mr.. Cleveland, that
he even asker Mr.. Florence TO put in a
substitute. OF course, the star only laughed
at his childishpess.
At last came the news that Buffalo itself,
Mr.. Cleveland's own city, had gone against
him. That seemed to settle it, for Mr..
Cleveland got up and hastily left the box
when he heard 1t, and the party followed
him. There is no doubt but that when Mr.
Cleveland left the box he believed himself
to be defeated
But he wasn't
THE NEXT MEETING.
Two years afterward Mr.. Florence wss
playing an engagement in Washington.
The play YVES the same, THE Mighty
Dollar" Sterling was still Juvenile"
and stage manager The first time he
had seen Cleveland was In Buffalo when he
read the unweIcome returns. As he looked
over the house this night again he saw
the then President 10 the stage box. At
the end Of the act Mr.. Florence told him
that the President would probably come
back on the stage, and if he did SO TO show
him into the property room," where there
was some wine on ice awaiting his arrival
In one scene Stirling had to make head
long exit through the ''tormentor entrance"
at the prompt side. He was supposed to be
kicked out Of the room, and went through
the door. landing on his hands back Of the
wing. Nobody is ever allowed in the tor
menter" entrance except the stage manager,
and 30 Stirling always had a clear field for
his acrobatic performance, and never
thought OF looking for obstacles, asvstaRe
discipline was very strict In the Florence
company.
COLLISION.
Just before Stirling made his dive It o.
CURED to MIR. Cleveland that 1t was good
opportunity TO GO back and see his friend
Florence. So he opened the stage door and
slowly walked down to the "tormentor"
entrance, quite oblivious of his gross vio-
lation Of stage etiquette. as Stirling came
diving In.
Mr.. Strings head struck the President
squarely amidships aud his progress was ar
rested.
There was a half groan and half gruut
from his excellency as he collapsed and
sprawled over the actor.
For a minute both lay writhing on the
floor and untangling themselves. 1t was
not pleasant meeting.
Stirling finally got on his feet and helped
the President up.
II beg your pardon, sir, said he. "Mr.
Florence told me to meet you, but did not
intend to do it in quite such forcible way.
l am very sorry, SIR"
BY that time Mr. Cleveland had got his
Dreatu lES all rlRnG my OoY, SAID ne
you we're attending to your business and
wasn't to mine"
SMOOTHING 1T OUT.
Then they went TO the property room.
There Mr.. Florence introduced "his little
stage manager" as he called Stirling to the
President, In the light the latter recog-
nized him.
"Why." said he, 'if am not mistaken you
mako me feel uncomfortable once before 10
Buffalo. Then you Knocked down ray spir-
its and this time you knocked down my
body. What will you do the next time
For my part think 1t is time you stopped.
but il all my reverses end as happily as
those you gave me shan't complain"
And that is how an actor stood Cleveland
on his head twice, as the story runs in the

A NEW WAY TO GET LAND.
Savannah Real Estate Men May Rev

Savannah Real Estate Men Mey Rev
oIutionize Business.
Lots 4Ox2O0 feet in size at cents week
is the novelty offered to the public by an
enterprising Savannah real estate dealer.
The lots are not swamp lands, either, but
are as good as the average Chatham county
land, the only objection that the majority
of people would have to them being their
distance, about five miles. from the city.
Lots are frequently sold at what are con-
adered extremely low prices and on what
are advertised as the "most favorable
terms" Never before, though, has a pur.
chaser been able to take possession of a
large lot on the payment of a nickle and
then continue to pay the balance at that
rate per week, the payments extending over
a number of years.
On the face Of it the scheme looks prepos-
ferrous, but when It is examined into and
the facts ascertained it is discovered that it
is not only possible to carry it through to
success, but there is absolutely no doubt Of
its paying the bold innovator. A large
tract of land is purchased at a fair price
and divided up into four or five lots to the
acre. The price Of these lots is placed at a
figure that will yield four or five times the
original cost. The purchaser has three
years time in which TO pay for the large
tract he has bought. BY selling off the lots
at low figure and what is only a fair
price when the payments are so small, at
the end OF three years the accumulated
nickels make sum twice as great as
what he must pay out for the land.
The balance, and the interest that
has accrued is profit and there are still two
years during which a stream Of nickeIs will
be pouring into his treasury.
1t Is a great thing for both sides 1t en-
ables the poorest man to buy one or more
lots. The denial OF two beers OF two cigars
week means the ownership Of a piece Of
ground oOx200 feet in size. Nearly 300
people, 1t is stated, are already buying lots
on the nickel-a-week plan, and there is talk
OF company to buy up land near the city
and sell it off in building lors at payments
OF . to 80 cents week. Now that such q
plan has been inaugurated there is no tell
ing where it will stop. The day of big pay
ments may cease and that OF small ones be.
Gun, the difference in the price making w
Lor the longer time required to complete the
payment.

as good a record. have been here seven
years and in that time the only labor
trouble has been that with the longshore-
men last year. The manner IN which that was
quickly settled, and its absolute freedom
from turmoil were a credit 10 all concerned.
So far as can learn from inquiries the past
decade here has been characterized by the
best of relations between employers and
employed. Savannah is a good town for a
man VINO has to work for a living. With
the usual few exceptional cases l doubt,
from what l hear aud read of the condition

The knights of Labor Journal says that
had the labor unions of Pennsylvania sec

Homestead by the Pinkerton janiZaries

would never have occurred.

Ady was assisted by Hon. S. R. Peters of
Newton. The defense was represented by
George r. Peck Of the Santa Fe. d. A. Low
of the Rock Island, Archie Williams and n.
H. LOOMS OF the Union Pacific, j. F. Vale
of the Denver aud Rio Grande, Messrs.
Guthrie, Mansman and Strong of the Bur-
lington and Bailey Waggener Of the Union
Pacific. Arguments were made by Mr.. Ady.
and Mr.. Peters on behalf Of the United
States, and Mr. Peck, Mr.. LOOMS and Mr..
Vale on behalf Of the freight association.
The tenor of Mr.. Ady'S argument, which
was q strong one, was TO the effect that COM
petition was stifled by arbitrary rates, and
that these associations were consplracies IN
restraint Of trade. He held, aud supplied
authorities to prove, that they were in
violation Of the interstate commerce act
and the Sherman antitrust act. For five
hours he held the attention OF the court in
what his opponents admitted to be one OF
the strongest arguments they had been
forced to meet. The argument Of this bat
tie Of legal giants was that OF George R.
Peck, general solicitor OF the Santa Fe,
who based his defense upon two general
propositions: l. That the Sherman anti
trust act does not apply TO railway COM
panies, but is intended to prohibit trusts
and combinations in the nature of trusts.
2. That the organization known as the
Trans Missouri Freight Association is not
an organization in restraint OF trade, nor
does it establish monopoly, aud therefore
is not in opposition to the Sherman anti
trust law. He proved so couclusively that
this association was in conformity with the
provisions of the interstate commerce act,
using the act itself and the four
reports Of the commissioners as authorities +,
that the prosecution abandoned that
position and confined 1t efforts to prov
ing the violation Of the antitrust law. In
a seven hours argument Mr.. Peck covered
the entire field of the relations Of these asso-
Citations with the laws Of the land, present.
ing, as the chief justice of Wyoming re-
marked, many new and strong points "
While Judge Riner will be unable to render
decision before October, the belief Of all
the attorneys present, including the United
States attorneys, who made such hard
fight, seems to be- that the United States
lost and that the freight and passenger
associations will hereafter have a recog-
nized legal existence. The Importance OF
this case will be recognized when it is
known that had the prosecution heen sue
cessful. sixty-eight freight and passenger
associations would have been forced to dis
band and classification and rates would
have been totally demoralized, as each sep
arate railroad In the United States would
have been forced to do its own rate making
| in its own way and make its collections
after the same manner. A decision adverse
| to these associations, it was claimed, would
| take away from the roads the right to asso-
ciate for the purpose of handling freight
| and passengers over connecting lines and
deprive the patron Of the right TO deal with
| them as q whole.

JOSIAH PENFIELD.

its next meeting.
The flags are not stone but marble and the
,stterinQ is in very good workmanship. 1t
is surn5sed that these tablets were engraved
and placed in the walls of the building when
Josian Penfield, whose benevolence they
commemorate, was a wealthy jeweler of
Savannah who devoted a portion OF his
wealth to this deserving cause. The Sea-
mans Bethel was erected in 1881 and was
probably the beginning of the Savannah
Port Society.
IL continued to be used for the purposes
for which it was built until some time after
the war when 1t was sold, 1t
being the intention TO build
a bethel on Montgomery street, between
Congress and St. Julian, facing Franklin
square. The society also intended to build
sailors boarding house in connection with
the bethel, but the scheme fell through.
The church also went down, and for several
years was used as an eating house. Sew
eral months ago it was torn down and re-
placed with several brick stores.
The old Bethel on Bay street was occu-
pied by J. W. Lathrop & Co. for several
years as an office, and afterward by War
rem & Arson. 1t as Quilted by fire several
years ago and has remained a wreck ever
since. 1t is supposed that the tablets were
taken out Of the walls when the building
was converted into an office and made to do
service as pavement. The building will be
practically rebuilt and fitted up as store
house. The change will remove an old
landmark and an eye-sore at the same

Railway men are much interested in a
new car pusher, the invention of a western
man. now on exhibition at the offices of W.
II. Price, the railway supply man, 10 Wall
street. New York. The pusher is said to be
the most practical Of any now in use, and Is
intended TO do away with the need of the
yard engine. It will work on any track
and under any brake, it is strong, durable
and convenient; it cannot break or get out
Of repair: rough, greasy, 10y or wet rails do
not effect it, and it can move cars very rap
idly. Not the least of the pusher's merits
are that it is inexpensive and weighs but
twenty pounds.
Among the late railroad inventions which
will 60 10 the worlds fair on exhibition is a
locomotive Of wonderful construction, de-
signed by John s. Thurman, an Indianapolis
patent solicitor. The locomotive will weigh
las, 900 pounds when in working order, 49,
900 pounds on the driving wheels and 30, 900
on the trucks. The cylinders are 20 be 2ox24
inches, with a 7S-inoh driving wheaL The
| boiler is to be CO inches in diameter, and
the steam pressure in 1t 108 pounds square
inch. The passenger engine is designed to
haul 400 tons, or IA loaded passenger cars,
up an incline OF IS feet at o speed Of so
miles an hour, or when running on O level
this locomotive will be capable Of attaining a
speed OF 80 miles an hour; SO says the
alarm for the protection of trains where
washouts have occurred at bridges and cul-
verts. The inventor wishes to use a model
of railroad, with small locomotive and
cars operating signals as they run. At in
tervals a washout will be shown at bridge
and culvert, where very small torpedoes
will be automatically placsd on each rail,
at a distance that will represent mile each
| way, and their explosion will announce the
threatened danger. The model will be
placed in the transportation building If per-
mission is granted.
