COLORS FOR AUTUMN.

Black is steadily pushing itself
forward into general favor, and is
especially popular in combination
with white. Black gowns trimmed
with white ribbons, white gowns
trimmed with black satin or velvet
or ribbons; black hats with white
trimmings, white hats with black
trimmings, are among things rarely
found wanting in the wardrobe of
those who try to have the latest
styles. And this is not only true Of
the late summer wardrobeS now in
use, but the indica tions are that the
same combinations will hold during
the autumn, and that no trimming
will be more stylish than black satin,
velvet, MORE antique, or even black
watered ribbon. The most conspic-
uous shades among the new colors
are blue and brown, though green
will not lose its standing among
the new goods. There are at least
six or seven new shades of brown,
all more or less of the yellowish
order, the deepest of them being but
little darker than chestnut. Of the
blues, the very dark shades are fall
ing somewhat into disfavor with
the extremely fashionable, probably
on account of the almost universal
popularity of navy blue serge, and
the shades most shown are of that
indeterminate kind which suggest
green or gray Demorest's Maya
zine for September.

WATERING THE TRACKS.
A Comparison Between the Railways
of Baltimore and Savannah.

A Comparison Between the Railways
of Baltimore and Savannah.
The question of Watering the street
railway tracks is arousing considerable
interestamong the citizens, as opinion is
divided as to the dust raising qualities Of
electric cars. 1t was expected that Alder
man Haines would present modification
of the ordinance on the subject at the
council meeting night before last, but he
was not there. The matter, however,
will come up at the next meeting at the
same time with the appeals OF the rail
roads from the fines imposed in the police
court.
Mayor McDouough received a letter
from prominent citizen few days ago,
containing a clipping from the Baltimore
Morning Herald of recent date on the
matter of watering railroad tracks in
Baltimore In this instance, however,
the railroad companies are asking per
mission to do the very thing the local
companies are objecting to. The privi-
lege asked by the Baltimore street car
companies" says the writer, us so re-
freshing after the kicking OF the com
panies of Savannah that thought you
might desire to read it to the council, and
so send it to YOU
Here is the article:
"A proposition has been made by the
Central Railway Company to sprinkle the
streets over which its tracks run, and a
formal application has been made to the
city council for the privilege. The project
is a practical one, and reflection upon the
subject fall TO disclose any reason why
it should not so into operation. A troll
ley line affords sufficient power to propel
a water tank of large proportions. Kun
ming it over the tracks at Intervals would
keep the streets dampened and do away
with the clouds of dust which follow
street cars, suffocating the passengers,
running their clothing and making trip
in these necessary vehicles very mpleas-
ant.
mo reason appears why the spriniling
of the streets in this way should not be-
come universal where rapid ears run
The cable could be utilized as well as the
trolley, and the scheme would result not
only in the extensive sprinlling of. the
streets, without expense to the city, but
in rendering street car travel pleasant
where it is at times almost unbearable.
The privilege asked is simply one to
use the city water and the tire-plugs for
filling the tanks. OF course the matter
needs to be canvassed thoroughly, but
there are good reasons for granting the
privilege, unless it can be shown that the
use of the plugs would endanger the eff
cheney of the fire department in some
way.
"Should that be the case the water
board would be justified in putting in a
few extra plugs for the use of the street
car lines. A scheme which promises the
free sprinkling of several miles of Balti-
mores filthy streets is one not TO be idly
thrown away"

CROPS ALL RIGHT NOW.

Shape in This Section.

The Rains Have Fixed Things in Good
Shape in This Section.
The weather crop bulletin for the past
ten days, a synopsis of which has been
given in the MORNING NEWS, for the en-
tire state, says in reference to the crop
conditions in Eastern and Southeast and
Southern Georgia:
Fine rains over most of the eastern por-
ton of the state have been of great ben
eft to all crops and more rain would be of
still greater benefit. Oats that were badly
damaged by the previous drought are
much improved in appearance and nearly
a full crop is anticipated. Large-sized
hailstones and high winds on May dam
aged crops considerably on few planta-
tions, necessitating the replanting of some
cotton. Tho stands of cotton at present,
taken as whole, present q fair appear
ance Cut-worms on corn are very
troublesome. This crop, the same as cot
ton, looks fairly well. Melons are back
ward, but the recent rains will help them
along.
All farm work in the south section is
progressing finely. Cotton chopping is
the order of the day and is half finished
Cool nights have kept the crop backward
Good stands of both cotton and sugar cane
are reported Corn is being greatly in
jured by drill and cut-worms The first
blowing has been finished. Wheat and
oats are looking finely. Fall oats are
ready to be harvested at some points
The fruit crop is in excellent condition
with bright prospects for good yield
In the southeastern counties there has
been a slight deficiency IN both moisture
and heat during the past week All crops
would be benefited by few showers.
Oats are heading out and give promise of
an average CrOD Very little inland rice
has yet been planted, but tidewater is
growing nicely. The condition of the
cotton crop is excellent and chopping is in
progress. Beans, Irish potatoes and cab
bage have matured and are being rapidly
shipped to the markets. Many complaints
are made that cut-worms are injuring
vegetables and replant ed corn.

SWALLOWED A LIVE FISH.
Startling Experience Of Resident OF
Sun Hill.

Sun Hill, Ca, May IA remarkable
and peculiar accident happened to John
T. Morrison while SEEMING in Williamson
creek. A. L. Nelson was assisting him in
pulling the seine, and they lifted it from
the water to take out the fish. Mr. Nor
rison took perch about as wide as three
fingers, and, placing it in his mouth, tried
to hold it between his teeth. The perch
futtered, squirmed and jumped headfore-
most down his throat. The opening was
not sufficiently large to admit of its pass
sage without struggle, and
Mr.. Morrison caught the perch
by the tail with his hand
and tried to pull it back but it was de-
termined to go, and down it went much to
the establishment and bewilderment of
Mr.. Morrison. He pulled its tail off in
trying to get it back. He was nearly
choked by the fish before it got down and
on being asked by his companion what
was the mutter gurgled out: 1--WE got a
fish in my throat"
Since swallowing the fish Mr.. Nor
rison has experienced no inconvenience,
but he does not want to try the expert
ment of holding a live fish in his mouth
again.
