THE TREATY WITH RUSSIA.
Self Respect Demands That the Unitet
States Should Abrogate 1t.

Self Respect Demands That the United
States Should Abrogate 1t.
Senator Turpie introduced joint res
olutiOn declaring that it is no longer to
the interest of the United States to con-
tinue the treaty ratified with Russia last
April and that notice shall be given
to the emperor that the treaty shall ex-
pire at the end Of six months, the term
prescribed in it's text to precede nullifi-
cation by either signer.
The immediate cause of the introduc-
tion of the resolution is refusal by Rus
sia to permit American citizens of He
brew faith to travel or sojourn in that
country. We cannot tolerate this as
sumption by an absolute despotism of
the right to discriminate among Ameri-
can citizens to the advantage of some
and the injury Of others.
There are clauses in the treaty which
should have rendered it obnoxious to
the senate and executive of the United
States, who ought not to have approved
it. 1t was approved under the illusion
that in the Bering sea controversy, then
unsettled, ratification of the treaty would
insure for US at Washington Russian
friendship desirable in the adjudication
of the fisheries question.
No matter what the fallacy under
which its ratification was effected it was
offensive to the people of the United
States, who did not submit to it the more
willingly because of an implied but i'm
proper and irrelevant argument or con-
sideration for its ratification. We gain
ed nothing at Paris by the treaty. We
were not entitled to gain anything by it.
So long as Russia continues an alb
solute despotism, so long as human
rights in that country are utterly at
the mercy of official caprice in the high
est ranks and subject to the corruption
or malice of officialdom in the lower
planes, it i'll becomes a free people tC
enter into any compact beneficial to
Russia and discreditable to the institu-
tions of democracy.
Russia has treated US with open con-
tempt in violating the articles of the
treaty guaranteeing to all American
citizens equal rights within her domain.
AS she has herself broken an essential
part of the treaty, it is demanded by
self respect that the United States shall
abrogate the instrument altogether and
without delay.-Chicago Herald

ONE ON MOSES.
The Scenic Artist Of a Chicago Theatel
Mixed In Spelling and History.


Scenic Artist Moses Of the Schiller
theater painted the scenery for ''The
Black Hussar, now ON at tnat house.
Mr.. Moses has painted the scenery for
many plays and operas in his time. but
it has never happened that he has been
called upon TO mount this particular op-
era before. He was given the scene plot
some time ago. and he went to work.
A few days before the production Man.
ager Prior ordered a scenic rehearsal,
and when the scenes were set he went
back on the stage to inspect them. 1t
will be remembered by those who have
heard ''The Black Hussar" that in the
second act, scene of the village square,
the diplomatic magistrate is supposed to
have arrayed upon the outer wall Of his
house reversible picture showing the
figures of Car Alexander and Napoleon.
This picture he works by crank, so
that when the French troops appear on
the scene he can Syally display Napo-
leon, and when the Russians arrive he
can readily shift to the czar. Well, aft
er admiring the picture Of Napoleon
which Mr.. Moses had made, Mr.. Prior
turned the crank attachment and swung
the affair around. In place of portrait
of Alexander in full regimentals he was
astonished TO see the figure of smooth
faced, stern looking party, clad in toga
and wearing vivid green laurel wreath.
Turning back to Napoleon, Manager
Prior called Moses and asked who it was.
''It's Napoleon, said the artist, land
I fatter myself it's pretty tidy like
ness"
Eyes, it is all right said Prior,
"but who is this supposed to representa-"
And he turned the crank.
"Why, that's Caesar" replied Moses.
"What is Caesar doing up there?"
asked the manager.
''Here he is on the scene plot, an
swered the artist. sit reads Napoleon
and Caesar doesn't it?"
''No, it DOESN'T" said Prior. 'It
does say, Napoleon, but that is c-z-a-r,
czat, not Caesar. 1t means Gar Alex
ander.'
Moses then went over to the public
library, got plate of Alexander from
Fred Hid, painted out his laureled
Caesar and filled in with the uniformed
Alexander which the audiences now
see.-Chicago Times.

Deafness Cannot be Cured


by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure Deafness and that is
by constitutional remedies, Deafness is
caused by an inf1amed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube gets infamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing
and when it is entirely closed Deafness
taken out and this tube restdfed to its
normal condition, hearing will be destroy
ed forever; nine cases out of ten are
caused by catarrh. which is nothing but
an iniamed condition of the mucous
surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness caused by catarrh

why Few Murder Trials In Boston.

Considerable curiosity has been arous-
ed by the statement that the Corchidi
case is the first murder trial in Suffolk
county in 10 years. 1t seems that there
have been many murders in the county
within the period mentioned, but rather
than go to the expense of a trial the
government has seen fit to accept the
plea of guilty of murder in the second

A sHoRT-LIvED SIGN.
A Bank Oficial Who Didn't Take to
Tonsorial Art.

A well-known official of the Savannah
Bank and Trust Company was the sub
ject of rather an amusing joke yesterday.
1t was a situation over which several of
his friends had good laugh
Peter G. LEST, the barber in the Provi-
dent building, thought it would be a
good idea to have a sign on the Bay, to
point customers in his direction. He
finally hit upon a scheme for obtaining
the advertisement at no further outlay
than the cost of the paint and
the daubing 1t on. Accordingly,
he obtained permission from the manager
Of the telephone company 10 paint mod
est sign on one of the Bay street pole
In order to bring it to the attention of
the earliest risers, the work was done
about the time the sun was looming up in
the eastern horizon yesterday morning
Bay streeters were astonished when
about or 10 o'clock, they began to assem-
BILE for business by a modest BARRIERS sign
in red and white on the telephone pole
at the corner of Bay and Drayton
streets, right at the entrance of the build
ing which is now being prepared for oc-
cppation by the Savannah Bank and
Trust Company. Underneath the sign
from hight of about five feet to the
ground ran the still more modest but I'M
mistakable red and white stripes of the
barber's poles.
Hello" said Bay streeter, as the
aforesaid official stood viewing the sign
in wonder and amazement, going to start
a barber shop in therel"
when do you open up2" asked another.
Suppose you will reduce the price Of
shavesl"
Competition is the life of trade' re-
marked the next prospective customer, as
he viewed the new sign.
1t was too much. The porter had job
on his hands inside Of few minutes
Another order for paint was written, but
there was a remarkable contrast in the
colors, ana ere the shades of night had
fallen the eight feet of that pole nearest
the ground became beautiful sea green.
A few spots of red, white and green paint
that had carelessly fallen to the pave
ment were all that was left to tell the
story to the passersby.

THE CASE SETTLED.
Captain and Mate of the Schooner
Anna L, MuIford Released.

The case for contempt of court against
Capt George w. Henderson and Mate j.
NJ Wallace of the schooner Anna L. Null
ford has been declared of, the suit out of
which it grew having been settled.
The case for contempt grew out of
suit for damages brought by sailor
named Olsen who claimed he had been
falsely imprisoned by the captain. The
schooner was attached by Justice Naugh-
tin, and an officer was placed on board.
July 10 the officer was fOrcibiy put ashore,
and the schooner set sail for Brunswick
The captain and mate were arrested in
Brunswick and brought back to Savan-
nah, where they were sentenced by Judge
MacDonell to twenty days in Jail for con-
tempt of court Mr.. Jerry Smith, the
owner of the schooner, came down from
Camden, n. j., and after paying Olsen
damages the case stood settled. The
contempt case was then dismissed by
Judge MacDonell, and the officers have
returned 10 Brunswick to take charge of
the schooner.
The story printed in the Philadelphia
Ledger is in effect this: Capt Hender-
son had trouble with the crew, was sued
by one sailor, and had another locked up
when the vessel was about leaving Savan-
nah The sailor who was locked up
brought suit for false imprisonment A
deputy United States marshal came down
TO seize the vessel, but had no warrant or
badge of authority, so Capt. Henderson
showed him ashore, and the vessel pro-
ceeded to Brunswick, where she is now
detained, and $4,000 demanded for her
release. Capt Shaw will send the Sc
curity. He has implicit faith in Capt
Henderson, who enjoys an excellent rep
utation.n

LEVY OUT BUT NOT FOR LONG.
Released on Bail He Gets Into a Fight
in Less Than an Hour.

The city council will meet this after
noon to hear appeals from the police
court. There are number of appeals to
be heard, among them those of George
Schwsrz, A. Getsinger c. Meitzler and
J. II. Schmiedeberg, who were fined 500
each by the recorder last week on the tes-
timony Of Isaac Levy.
The attempt to break down Levy's tes-
timony On the one hand and the attempt
TO sustain it on the other will make the
hearing interesting. Levy claims that he
will be able to introduce strong corrobO-
rative testimony and that his statements
will be supported by several well known
citizens.
Levy was rele ased from Jail yesterday
on bail, the bond being furnished by Mr..
Thomas Ballantyne he had not been
out of jail half an hour before he was
engaged in another difficulty He met a
party named Cohen on South Broad
street in front of the old cemetery. He
and Cohen had hid some words before it
seems, and they proceeded TO fight it out.
Levy claims that he licked the other
fellow clean out of. his boots Cohen
sued out a warrant before Justice Elsin-
ger, charging Levy with assault and
battery. He had not been arrested at
last accounts.
Levy said yesterday afternoon that he
was furnished money by certain parties
Saturday on his promise to leave the city
and that he was escorted TO the Savan-
nah, Florida and Western depot, and seen
aboard the train for Charleston Saturday
night. He had no intentions of leaving
the city, however, and getting off at the
junction walked back to the city. His
trunk is still at the depot, he says.

TO BUILD BETTER ROADS.
The Proposed Issue Of County Bonds
FaVOTably Received.

An Offer TO Take Per Cent. Bonds for
Road Improvement at Par-The Pro-
posed New Road to Thunderbolt
Along the Savannah and Isle of
Hope Railways RiRht-of- way-The
Land Company Ready to Make a
Deed to the Right-of-Way as Soon
as the County Is Ready to Build the
Road.
Mai r. A. Blandford, the county engi-
neer, called on Capt. d. G. Purse, presi-
dent of the Merchants and Mechanics
Land Company, yesterday, to talk over the
proposition made on the part of that com
pany, 10 give the county 1OO-foot right
of-way from the present eastern terminus
Of Estill avenue along the Savannah and
Isle of Hope railway to Thunderbolt.
Capt. Purse informed Mai. Blandford
that the company would be ready to make
deed to the right-of-way as soon as the
county is ready to make a road of it.
Maj. Blandford was very much pleased
with the proposition and SAYS the more
he thinks it over the better he likes it.
He believes the road could be constructed
under the circumstances at a compare
lively small cost.
The road would be a continuation of
Estill avenue. and would make one of the
best drives the county could afford. 1t
would pass through a magnificent Sec
ton and would cross all the principal
roads in that part of the county, includ-
ing the Meridian, Waters and Bee roads
So far as is known, one of the county
commissioners objects TO the road, and so
do the shell road people, to whose in
terest it is 10 have only their
roadway from the city to Thunderbolt.
Concerning the plan to issue bonds for
the construction of this and other roads,
which is now being discussed as general
proposition by the superior court grand
jury, and which was fully outlined in the
MORNING News some weeks ago, one of
the projectors of this new road scheme
says he knows ten men who are ready to
take the county's bonds al per cent. for
par when they are issued for the purpose
of building and improving this or any
other road.
