Why He Followed Her Out.

AS she stepped into a Clark street car, says
the Chicago Tribune, every man in it turned
to look at her; she greeted another girl effus-
lively and sat down beside her.
oh, Dora, I've had such an experience -
she painted, as she cast a coquettish glance at
the young man opposite.
You always are having experiences"
grumbled her friend, land nothing ever hap
pens to me. 1t all comes of having those big,
appealing eyes and that timid air, when
you're not even afraid of a mouse.
oh, but this was really an awful expert
ence, and I've mind not to tell you word
ii you don't I'll think it is because it is too
bad to tell
oh, you mean thing but must tell some
body, and know all your secrets, so you
won't dare to tell"

thize"
We'll, you know, went with mamma to
the dentists to-day and
oh, it was the dentist was it?'

| handled umbrella with me, and leaned it
against a chair in the waiting room, deter
mined not to lose sight of it. A few min
| utes later in came splendid looking fellow,
with such mustache that 1 couldn't help
| smiling just little at him.
"Of course"
"WeIl, he leaned his care against the same
| chair, and it knocked my umbrella down.
| We both stopped to pick II up and our
! hands met, and he said Pardon me-, and 1
| bluShed and SAID, Thank you. ~

| Weller, only once or twice, and each time
| he was looking at me IN such an admiring
| way AT last mamma came. AS we went out
| l forgot my umbrella, and had to go back for
| it, and oh, Dora, he started up and seemed
| about TO speak, and just flew out to where
| mamma was waiting. I knew I'd never hear
! the last OF it if she caught me-"
| And serves you
oh and, Dora, when we got out I looked
! back and he was actually following me-"
| Il hope you
Il did, until mamma told me she was not
| walking for wager, and at last he canght up
| to us and lifted his hat
| What impudence!'
He was holding out something to me. and
| saying: L beg your pardon, miss, but this is
! your umbrella. and
| You don't mean to say
Il do, had been carrying his cane down

Capt. Carter's Report.

Capt Carriers annual report of the
progress of the river and harbor work I'M
der his charge, some statements from
which were published in the MORNING
News yesterday, is particularly interest
ing to the people of Savannah, for the rea-
son that it shows great progress is being
made in the Savannah harbor work, and
that the results that are being obtained
are of the most gratifying character. The
plan that was adopted for securing a
twenty-six foot channel in the harbor
promises to be entirely successful.
The effect of the work already done is
seen in the increased draft of vessels that
now come to this port, and in the very
great growth in the volume of Savannah's
commerce. Twenty years ago the amount
of tonnage annually coming to this port
was only about half what it is now, and
the volume of our shipments to domestic
and foreign ports was small in comparison
with what it is at present.
The number of vessels has not greatly
| increased, but their character has Large
| steamers have taken the place of small
steamers and sailing vessels. The in
crease in the size of the vessels has un-
doubtedly assisted in bringing about a re-
duction in freight rates
The growth i'll the volume of domestic
and foreign commerce indicates how ex-
tremely beneficial to the port the deepen
ing of the harbor is. Within the next
two or three years it will be possible for
vessels of the largest class, having a
| draft Of 25 or 26 feet, to go to sea from
our wharves. In proportion as the depth
of the channel is increased the rates for
| freight will be lowered and when the
! harbor work is completed Savannah's
! freight rates, together with her other ad-
! vantages, will bring her a commerce far
| greater than expected by those who have
unbounded confidence in her prosperity.
| Capt. Carter is profoundly interested in
| the harbor improvement work. He is
! putting forth his best efforts to make il
! successful. There are good reasons for
thinking that he will accomplish all he
has undertaken. If he does his name
will be inseparably connected with a
great engineering work and with Savan-
nah, and he will have place among the
great engineers who have benefited
mankind.

Now and then hear some one declare that
man has monumental gall but the fellow
using the term has no conception Of Its sig
nilcance. He simply means it's a case OF ex-
traordinary cheek"
II was a Cincinnati man, stopping for day
or two in Detroit, who spoke as above to a
Free Press reporter Of the latter place and
when asked what he knew about '-monu-
mental gar, he replied;
4 was travelling in California during the
great boom, and one day got around TO Los
Angeles and met chap who used to be in the
furniture business in my town. He had ar
rived only the day before. and was fat broke.
AS he had put up at the best hotel, I thought
that was case OF monumental gall but he
hadn begun-tO Snow his nerve vet. After a
bit he came tome and wanted TO know II had
any blank checks on eastern banks. I had
checks on Cincinnati, Chicago. st. Louis and
Toledo. and gave him six or eight. Every
! BODY was wild over real estate, and this chap
took walk around and got options on three
different lots giving his check for about So
OO IN each case. some one went up to the
| Motel TO ask about him, and he turned around
and took an option on the caravansary at
S2oOOOO Tor ten days He wrote out check
for 5000 as cool as you please and within
| the next twenty-four hours had options on
| the best bargains in town. I gave him
| dozen checks in all and he filed en-. out for
about $4,000. If any Of the banks had been
| telegraphed to, he would have been dished,
but ne had way With him which seemed to
| satisfy everybody that he was heeled and
was working for a tenstrike. 1 saw him fill
out check for $4,000 and shake it under the
nose Of a man who had been Offering nice
! bit Of land for $4,000 He scared the man
half to death for q minute, and then he rushed
out and put the price at $4,000.
But he couldn't really buy any land?'
He didn't want TO. He was giving that
locality a specimen Of monumental gall.
The people were up on cheek but had never
seen face of hammered brass. What dye
think he dtd"I tell you straight, and I'll give
you the names of parties to write to if you
doubt my word. Before single one of his
options expired he sold them out to a new
crowd, and IN eight days he had cleared S35,-
$50 in as good gold as California ever mined.
The owner Of the hCtal gave him s. 900 and
MS worthless checks IN my presence, and
felt so good over it that he opened the cham
payne and brought out some cigars worth a
dollar each"

Juuius Brutus Booth as described by

and face were handsome. The nose had been

was massive and nObly shaped. The general
appearance. Mr.. Sedley says, was in harmony
