CHANGED HIS MAKE UP.
How a b lair Cut and a Shave Dis
guised a Theatrical Man.


guised a Theatrical Man.
Mr.. William II. Levelle, manager and
originator of the living pictures which
are to be displayed at Tybee next Friday
night, has already commenced to exhibit
his store Of agreeable surprises. He has
been experimenting the erection of the
stage and picture frames for his novel
productions and, of course, has become
acquainted with everybody on the island
His genial disposition and ready wit
caught the attention of everyone at the
hotel, and he was put down" as a man
who knows his business.
AS Prof. Cobb is to furnish the music
at the novel entertainment. it was neces-
sary that a conference be held between
the manager and the professor. The
style of music was discussed during the
afternoon, and after Saturdays work
was finished, Mr.. Levelle took the train
for Savannah. AS soon as he arrived in
the city he had his hair cut and got a
shave. This would have been no extra
ordinary thing for theaverage gentleman,
but as Mr.. Levelle, was the pOssessor of a
wealth of flowing raven locks, and a hand
some black mustaChe, their absence under
the BARRIERS manipulations created pro-
nounced change in his appearance and
transformed the living picture of genial
Georgia major to a fresh arrival from
Limerick
After leaving the barber shop and
strolling out in the lobby Of the Pulaski,
Mr.. Levelle saw Jim Shaw, travelling
passenger agent of the Central railroad,
lodging through the crowd, and brushing
against Mr.. Levelle, in his eagerness to
find some one, with whom he undoubtedly
had some business. After giving up the
search, and leaving a note with the clerk,
Mr.. Shaw started out.

Mr.. Levelle, slipping up to MIR. Shaw
Mr. Shaw, who not doubling the gen
tleman was one of his numerous acquaint-
ances which ne had met on the road. re-

at Tybee next Friday night. Are you

well, rather dear boy; have you re-
cclvcd an answer from that telegram
yet2' And then Mr.. Shaw caught on.
II happened that Mr.. Levelle took the
same train for TYbee yesterday as did
Prof. Cobb, and accidentally occupied the
same seat. Mr.. Levelle requested a light
from the professors cigar. While the
fire was being transferred from the
musicians cigar TO the theatrical mans
cigarette, Prof. Cobb scanned the coun-
tenance before him with peculiar interest.

marked

CHOLERA NOT CONTAGIOUS.
Proof Furnished by the United States
Consul at Sivas.

From the Baltimore American.
Washington, Aug s. United States
Consul Jewett, at Sivas, Turkey, who is
a physician, sends to the department of
state an interesting account of the cholera
outbreak in that city. He argues strongly
from his personal observation that the
disease is not contagious, and in proof
tells of the children playing in the gut
tiers, running with water polluted with
cholera eXerOta, which water is also used
to wash infected linen, and also the house

and served. Another case is where the

sometimes three-husband, wife and
chtld-in bed together, one purging and
vomiting. In spite of these practices 80
per cent of the population escaped the
disease. The consul gives an account of
the feeble and impOtent attempt of the
authorities, local and national, to stamp
out the disease, telling how the uuaran-
tine doctors, who were paid 81 each for
two months service, corruptly allowed
people to pass the lines for fees ranging
from 9 cents to - cents. After Nav 20
the government recognized no cases of
cholera, although they occurred at the
rate of fifteen cases and three deaths per
week

THE F. O. & P.'s LITTLE TOWN.
A Handsome Restaurant About Com
pleted at the Junction.


The Florida Central and Peninsular
railroad is finishing a handsome eating
house at its junction, about one mile east
of the city, where the trainmaster's
office and the shops are also located.
The eating house is a neat 2-story build
ing, with square tower on the north
west corner.
long room nearest the railroad track
Is fitted up for a lunch room with the
usual long counter and other accessories.
The dining room is about 40 by 10 and is
handsomely finished in heart pine done
with oil. The kitchen is in the rear
The second story is divided into several
sleeping rooms for the use of the help and
the employees of the road. Just in front
of the house handsome fountain will be
placed. The cost of the building and fur
nishings when complete will be several
thousand dollars. IL is expected to com
plete the building by the end of this
month and the operations will be begun
at once.
The restaurant is intended for the ac-
commodation of through passengers. who
Will be able to leave the train at the junc-
ton and obtain a good meal while the
train runs into the Central depot and out
again TO the junction. This usually con
sumes about twenty-five minutes, which
VIII allow the passengers ample time to
eat their meals in comfort. AS the trains
do not stop long enough IN the depot for
the passengers TO get lunch its operation
will not interfere with anybody's bust
ness in the city. The object of the com
pany in building the restaurant is to ena-
BE 1t to dispense with the Pullman dining
cars, which are quite expensive The
restaurant will enable it to care for its
passengers equally as well and save
money by doing so.
The Florida Central and Peninsular
has also just completed new shop build
ing at the junction. The building is about
6Gx9O with blacksmith shop in the rear.
The shop will be USED for light repairing
to the cars and engines, the heavy work
of the road being done at Fernandina.

THEY PICKED THE CHICKENS.
Two Burglars Who Wanted to Effect
ually Cover UP Their Tracks.

Two Burglars Who Wanted to Effect
ually Cover Up Their Tracks.
Savannah burglars are often original in
their methods. This was exemplifed
night before last in the actions of what
are supposed to be two burglars instead
of one. The place robbed was the office
of Swinton Il Co, at their woodward at
Farm and Indian streets. This yard was
bought from FAIRIES q Pindar about a
month ago, and Mr.. Piudar had left some
tools in the Office in a chest.
The burglars made their way in by the
window In the rear Of the Office, which
they broke open. There were three
watchmen near at hand, but none of them
seems to have detected the men who
were doing the work. From the way
thing looked 1t seemed they were after
money, as they tore open almost every
drawer in the Office and scattered papers
and books over the floor. Some of the
tools were also taken from the chest be-
longing to MIR. Pindar.
The work of the robbers, when they
failed to find any money, however, seems
TO clearly establish the fact that they
were negroes on account of their leaning
toward and favoritism for chickens
There were three fine chickens in the
yard near the office belonging to a young
man who stays there, and yesterday
morning these fowls with a few of the
tools and picture which hung on the
wall were about the only things
missed. The chickens, however,
will never be discovered, and
even though they were they could
not be identified, as the robbers pulled off
their heads and picked them clean, leav-
ing the feathers and heads in two piles in
the yard. This was an ingenious way to
cover up all means of identity of the
stolen property, and if the thieves took
anything else they will probably be sharp
enough 10 hide il

TOO MUCH RAIN FOR COTTON.
The Fruit Shedding and the Plant
Turning Black in Spots.

The Fruit Shedding and the Plant
Turning Black in Spots.
There has been no change in the condi-
ton Of the growing cotton crop since a
week ago. The excessive rains have con-
tinued causing the shedding of fruit in
nearly every section of Georgia and
Florida. The most uufavorable reports
come from the sea island sections, where
the crop is badly damaged by too much
moisture.
The following are a few of the reports
received from correspondents:
UPLAND COTTON.
Tennille Washington County. Aug. A.
There is no material change in the condi-
tions that effect the cotton crop in the
last week. Rains continue, but are not
so general There has been more sun
shine. Very much of the crop is damaged
seriously. The plants are showing the
black spots on the leaves up to within
few inches of the top. This spotting of
the leaf is general. even on good cotton
lands, and is the result of too much mois-
ture and excessive heat while the ground
IS wet ana reflects the heat. Scald and
rust are other results of too much water
in the earth, which effects the roots of
the plant The fruit taken on within the
next ten DAYS viii 90 largely to making
up the crop. Now, should the season
prove favorable to mature what will be
taken on by Aug. Is, the crop will be 10
to 20 per cent less than an average per
acreage, and the acreage is from Is to 20
per cent. less than an average. These are
estimates that are arrived at from the
opinion of the most successful, observant
farmers of this section.
Midwife, Burke County, Aug. 4.-The
excessive rains for the past several days
ton. 1t has not only stopped bearing, but
IS shedding forms and young bolls badly.
There is yellow cast to it, and the under
leaves are falling off.
Griffin, Spaulding County, Aug 4.-The
cotton crop in this section has been CON
siderably improved by the recent good
rains. The planters say they are well
advanced in their work and expect yet an
average crop. Up to a couple of weeks
ago the outlook was not promising, but
since the rains the farmers are all jubi-
liant. They are all well supplied with
sufficient labor, and the cotton crop on a
whole is in a clean condition.
Oliver, Screven County, Aug 4.-The
cotton crop is not so ttourishing as 1t
might be, owing TO the continued rains,
which have caused throwing of of its
fruit
Eden, bingham County, Aug. AK
cessive rains have caused cotton to shed,
especially in low lands. The crops, how
ever, bids fair to make an average yield.
Lumpkin, Stewart County, Aug. A.
The cotton crop in stewart in now suffer
ing some from rain. On sandy lands it is
hurt most. The weed on red land was
never finer, but not well fruited. Very
heavy, washing rains this week.
Blackshear, Pierce County, Ca, Aug.
4.-The cotton crop is being seriously in
jured by the excessive rams which have
fallen in this section for the last two
weeks

any extra clothing.
