A Feature of the Mayors Report.

a Feature of the Mayors Report.
An interesting part of the annual report
Of the mayor is that which relates to the en-
forcement Of the ordinance prohibiting the
sale of intoxicating liquors on Sundays.
That great good has resulted from the en-
forcement OF this ordinance thsre is no
doubt. The mayor shows that as soon as he
began to enforce the ordinance the number
of arrests on Sundays decreased so greatly
that there were comparatively few cases on
the mayors docket on Monday mornings.
When the saloons were open on Sundays
the police force were kept busy on Sundays
making arrests. aud the number OF Offend
era before the mayor on Mondays was
larger than on other days of the
week And the class Of offenders
was different from that on other
days. II was largely composed of men who
worked steadily on week days but who, be-
ing Idle on Sundays, were TEMPTED by the
open doors OF the saloons TO drink to intoxi-
cation. They not only wasted the money that
should have been devoted to the support of
their families, but when intoxicated engaged
in brawls OF one kind and another and not
infrequently abused those dependent upon
them.
There is no doubt that Mayor McDonough
has effected a great reform In this matter, a
reform that is appreciated by nine-tenths of
the people Of the city. Even those who were
the patrons Of the saloons on Sundays do
not hesitate to say that the enforcement
Of the Sunday saloon ordinance has
been great thing for the city
The members of the colored churches,
especially. are loud in their praise of the
mayor for what he has done to give the
city quiet Sunday and bring more COM
forts into the homes of those workingmen
who are disposed to waste their wages in
barrooms on Sundays.
The reform is now pretty firmly estab-
lished. Public sentiment in favor of it is 80
strong that the police have much less diff
Guilty in keeping the saloons closed than
when the reform was inaugurated.
Even if Mayor McDonough should not ac-
cept a denomination his administration
would not soon be forgotten. The influence
of bis reform work. even if his successor
should not be In hearty sympathy with that
work, would continue to be- felt for long
time. But If he will accept a denomination
he will receive a support that will be not
only gratifying to him but will show that
his efforts in behalf Of good government are
fully appreciated.

Anecdote of Pulaski.

In the American army OF the revolution there
were few who could equal Count Pulaski either
in horsemanship or as a swordsman. His feats,
says the New York Ledger, were the wonder
and envy of his officers, and many were the
serious injuries received in trying to initiate
him. 1t is related Of him that, with his horse
at full gallop-and he always rode magnif-
cent charger-he would discharge his pistol,
toss II in the air and catch it by the barrel then
hurl 1t at some object in advance; and then,
without In the least checking the speed Of his
horse, be would slip one foot from the stirruD,
and, bending over toward the ground. recov--
ms pistol ana wheel into line with as much pre-.
cision as though he were engaged In ordinary
exercise.
During the retreat of the American army
through New Jersey, when the nations pros
poets were almost at their darkest, Pulaski,
with small body guard. was pursued by
party OF British cavalry, the leader Of whom
was an accomplished horsemaD, and mounted
nearly, II not fully. as we'll as the gallant Pole
himself Pulaski rode in the rear of his detach-
ment, while the British commander dashed on
at the head OF his The morning sun cast OBJ
nque shadows across the way, and as the pur-
sued party entered long. narrow lane, Pu-
laski, having satisfied himself of the superior
speed and tact OF his own horse. slackened his
pace and drew away to the side of the lane to
the left, furthest from the sun. The pursuing
Briton came up IN hot haste, with his sword
elevated so as to make the decisive cut upon the
Pole as soon as he should reach him.
Pulaski gave no token of alarm, but kept his
eyes liked wariy upon the ground at his right.
soon he saw the shadow of the head of his pur-
suers horse; then the shadow of half the body,
together with the shadows of the uplifted arm
and sword and then, with lightning like
sweep of his powerful arm, he gave the sword
cut of st. George and the head of the British
officer fell to the ground, cut clean Off by the
unerring stroke
Pulaskrs mathematical eye had measured the
distance Of the shadow so accurately. and his
position gave such advantage in the long back
reach Of the right arm while the cross stroke of
his pursuer must necessarily have been at a
shorter distance to have taken effect, that the
latter lost his head before he had rtLson to sus-
pect that his proximity was known, much less
that a blow from the fleeing count was medi
tated.

A Washington dispatch to the New York
Times says that Capt. John L. Weber, of
Charleston, 9. C., is a candidate for the
place made vacant in the civil service COM
mission by the resignation Of ex Gov Hugh
s. Thompson. Capt Weber is a member of
the editorial staff of the Neps and Courier.
The fact that he is in line with that paper
in politics is a sufficient voucher for the
soundness of his democracy. He possesses
an evenly balanced and well stored mind,
and has proved in the various offices he has
held that he is faithful public servant.
Capt. Weber is well thought of by the
South Carolina delegation. and may de-
velop considerable strength if he desires the
appointment.

The Duel Settled Nothing.

The duel between Borrowe and Fox, that
was fought Saturday at a seaside resort
near Ostend, settled nothing. Indeed,
in ali such affairs the party who is in the
wrong stands just as good chance of es-
Gaping harm as the party who is in the
right. Fox was q second Of Borrowe in the
Drayton- Borrowe scandal, and he gave the
correspondence relating 70 the scandal TO
the press, and stated he did so with Bor-
rowe's approval The publication put Bor-
rowe in bad light and subjected him to
merciless criticism. When he came to New
York with his other second he got very
scant courtesy from his old acquaintauces.
his stay in New York was short He went
back to London to call Fox to account for
asserting that he authorized the publication
Of the correspondence in question.
Before meeting Borrowe on the dueling
field Fox wrote out statement to the effect
that Borrowe had authorized him TO pub
lish the correspondence just as soon as there
were indications that the newspapers had
a garbled account of it. He also stated
that he gave out the correspondence only
after he became Satisfied that he was justi-
fed in doing so by the conditions imposed
upon him by Borrowe
Either Fox or Borrowe must be In the
wrong. Borrowe says he never authorized
Fox to publish it, and Fox says he did. The
public seemed to believe Fox before the duel.
Has the duel changed the publio's view Of the
matter! 1t is clear the duel settled nothing,
except, perhaps. that neither Borrowe nor
Fox is afraid OF being shot at. And the
issue would not have been determined IL one
or both had been killed.

Mr.. Andrew Carnegie says this country
"has been developing altogether too rapidly
in numerous large industries" aud cites
the iron business as a case in point. In ten
years, he says, the production Of pig iron
has been trebled. and overproduction, in
tense competition. low prices, cuts in wages
and Generalization generally have been the
attending results. Still he contends that
the high tariff, under which all of these
things have come about, is good thing for
the country. His system of reasoning is
decidedly queer.

A magazine published by the Society for
the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals,
recently instituted an investigation into an
alleged mad dog" epidemic for the pur
pose Of asoertalDing whether or not rabies
(or hydrophobia) was SO common as would
appear from current reports. The facts
gathered showed that of a large number
of so-oalled mad" dogs, only a very small
percentage had rabies. In most of the
cases the dogs suspected Of being mad,
were suffering from stomach ache, or some
such simple complaint, when their actions
attracted attention. Then Immediately
cry of mad dog" would be raised; crowds
would gather with sticks, stones, guns and
pistols and the poor brutes would be fright
ened and beaten into desperation, when they
would bite somebody. And il is possible that
something of the kind was the cause Of the
mad dog" scare at Milledgeville, reported
IN the MORNING News yesterday. The
fear of hydrophobia may be natural and
universal, but little cool consideration
favorable 70 the dogs side OF the case, in
many instances. would result in fewer
bites and less cruelty.

Getting Ready for the Fair.

Florida is going to make a creditable ex-
hibit at the Columbian fair. There is
no doubt about that. She knows how
great the benefits are which flow from
intelligent and judicious advertising, and
her experience teaches her that the adver-
Using she can give her advantages and re-
sources through the Columbian fair are
greater than she can get in any other way,
She was conspicuous for her display at the
centennial exposition, and the worlds cot
ton centennial fair at New Orleans, aud the
advertising che received at those two fairs
were worth millions of dollars TO her.
Arthur E. Jackson, one of her commits
sioners for the Columbian fair, is now en-
gagged In raising a fair fund of $500, 900. and
there is not much doubt that he will succeed
in getting the amount. Every county in
that state is expected to contribute to the
fund, aud the indications are that the SUBJ
scriptions will be as liberal as they are ex-
pected to be. Mr.. Flagler, who is now
deeply interested in Florida, has set an ex-
ample of liberality that will have an excel
lent effect in the work Of raising the $780,
900 fund.
It's greatly to be regretted that Georgia
is showing so little interest In the fair. II
she does not contribute enough to make
good exhibit she will make a mistake that
she will deeply regret when too late to re-
pair 1t. Her people could raise the 500 900
needed TO carry out Gov. Northen's plans
with respect to the fair, and not miss the
money. They should begin at once to in
terest themselves in the matter, They can
not do a wiser thing than to put themselves
in line with the people Of other great states
that are now preparing their exhibits.

Adj. Gen. Kell was Admiral Semmes

he stood on gun carriage, glass in hand
"Give them solid shot, Kell; our shot re-
bound from their side, and fall into the
water" The order, 1t Is presumed, was
obeye but 1t did not save the day. Aboard

crippled her antagonist. 1t is marked with
