The action taken by the city council and
the board of trade with regard to the
matter of coast defenses generally, and
the defense of Savannah particularly. is
timely and to the point. AS pointed out
in the resolutions passed by the two
bodies, the improvements that have been
made to the Savannah river and harbor
have resulted in depth of water which
will permit Of the largest warships, armed
with heaviest guns, coming up to the
city. Gen. Nelson A. Miles is reported to
have said recently, after a visit to this
city, that Savannah is the least protected
city on the Atlantic coast, because of its
deep water and its utter lack of works
to check the approach of hostile fleets.
Recent events have stirred the people
to realization of the unfortunate posi-
ton the coast cities would occupy in the
event of war between this country and
any strong naval power, hence there is
little doubt that the current congress will
start the work of providing an efficient
system of coast defenses-a work that
should have been begun and completed
long ago. Within the next few years mil
lions of dollars will be appropriated for
Notifications and ornaments.
It is Savannahs duty to see that her
Importance is properly estimated by con-
gress, and that she gets her fair share
in the apportionment for defenses. There
should be no marble postoffice business
in this matter. There should be no wax
ing up, after the apportionment has been
made and the work begun, to the fact
that we are not getting what we want
mands. The action of the council and the
board of trade should be followed up by
the various public bodies.
The government some twenty years
ago, purchased a tract of land on Tybee
Island with the view of erecting thereon
an extensive work for the defense of the
entrance to the port, and also for the pre-
vention Of the capture of the island by
an enemy. In 1S61-62 Tybee was made
the base of operation against Fort Pulaski
by the federals. The inability of the con-
federates to hold the island resulted in
garrison of Savannah soldiers. With Ty-
bee in possession of an enemy, in this
age of long-range guns. even If no ships
came up to the city. it is doubtful if Sa-
vannah could be held as long as 1t was
in ls6l-62.
With Tybee properly defended. and
powerful fort upon Coekspur Island, the
inner line OF strategic points could be
quickly prepared for a stout defense
There are hundreds of persons now liv-
ing in this city who remember how quick

Battery Lee, Fort Bartow. Thunderbolt
and other points when the result OF the
battle Of Port Royal demonstrated that
the line Of coast defenses could not be
depended upon.

rhe saundron of EvolutIon.

The trend of events in the Venezuelan
matter makes it of interest to note that
Admiral Bunce is under orders to take
squadron of half a dozen of the best ships
of the navy to West Indian waters for
practice in squadron evolutions at sea. The
programme of the squadron of evolution
was made up last winter, while Admiral
Meade was in command of the North At
lantic squadron, and partly under his SUI
pervision. At that time it was the purpose
Of the authorities to send eight or nine
ships on the cruise. but the demands OF
the foreign service have necessitated a re-
duction of the number to six, with pos
sibility of a seventh ship Joining the
squadron little later.
The ships that will comprise the squad
ron of evolution are the New York, Column
bia, Texas. Maine, Raleigh and Mont
gomery. The dispatch boat Dolphin,
which has been assigned to surveying duty
on the Central American coast, will prob
ably be added to the squadron when she
has completed her task of surveying. The
ships are under orders to get away at an
Maine and the Texas, it is reported they
are ready for service. The Maine and the
Texas have been somewhat unfortunate,
having sustained several mishaps. But
there are reasons to believe that under
pressure they will be gotten ready to go
south in very short while.
The waters that have been selected for
the eYolutions of the squadron are not
more than days sail from the coast of
Venezuela. Last year Admiral Meade de-
monstrated that a column of war ships
could make long and fast runs without
breaking ranks" so to speak. AS to the
fighting qualities of the ships of the squad
ron of evolution, three are battle ships, one
is compromise between the battleship
and the cruiser, and two are cruisers. They
are counted among the most powerful
ships of the navy. They are going where
there may be serious work to be done.
Their evolutons will be watched with in

On this day praise to Almighty God, and
good cheer. take the place. for the mo-
ment. of the tumult OF commerce and the
struggle for supremacy. All Christen-
dom is imbued with the generous and
gentle spirit of the season. Millions Of
souls to-day do homage TO the founder
Of the most perfect system OF ethics the
world has ever known.
Christmas is a stupendous institution.
The sun never sets upon the territory in
which Il is observed. The wealth that
is expended in its celebration is equaI 10
the ransom OF a dozen klnzs. The
hearts that are made glad by its kind
nesses and bcnefactions are innumera-
bic. Its ennobling influences are beyond
computation or estimate. Its lesson is
refining and strengthening.
What is the origin Of this most wonder
ful holiday. and what its lesson? Every
child reared under Christian influences
can answer. The birth of the Savior of
the world is the event that is celebrated.
and peace on Garth and good will among
men. is the lesson.
The mind reverts to the scene in the
stable at Bethlehem. Let it pause there
a moment. What is the central figure in
the picture? To the spiritual eye, the
babe; to the eye Of human interest, the
motL-sr-tht tender solicitousl protec-
tive mother. In humility of spirit she
had suffered the pangs imposed by ma
ture, amidst the meanest surroundings.
In pride and the strength of love she be-
held her offspring, and made every sac
riice possible for it's well being. She
would have laid down her life for her
child and considered herself blessed in
so doing.
Except in the matter of surroundings.
so has it been with the overwhelming ma
jority of Christian mothers ever since
the nativity in Bethlehem. And the men
and women Of Christendom have learned
the story of the child Of Bethlehem from
these mothers. They have sung it in
their evening lullabys. and have taught
it in apt stories and nursery rhymes.
Christian mothers, Furthermore, have
inculcated by precept and example the
religion of the babe of Bethlehem in he
roic. sacrifices. prayerful guidance, unset
fish solicitude, wisdom. patience, mercy
and truth.
It is but natural, therefore. that at
this particular time the thought of the
Individual should be turned to the days
of childhood, and to mother. Thrice
blessed is that home in which there is a
mother! There is no substitute for
mother. She rears that structure which
is built for God and humanity.
She teaches the courage which
faces evil and overcomes it. She
is the preceptor of youth, and the sover-
eign Of the home. which makes the
world, and her crown is love.
There are, happily, few of either
tramp or Bohemian but have known a
mothers care and guidance; hence, on
thls. day even the outcasts of society
will be brought under the tender infu-
ences of a hallowed memory. Visions of
a time when life was unblinded by sell
fishness, unmarried by lust. unshadowed
by sin, will sweep before the minds eye.
The central figure in the vision conjured
up win be- mother. Numerous spirits
will be softened, and perchance some
souls reclaimed. This is Christmas.

Romance of a Wiz

A tragic ending to a comic scene has 20
suited in the heroine of the adventures he
ing conveyed to the hospital in a very
precarious state, while the hero is securelv
under lock and key at the depot of the
prefecture of police in Paris, says the Lon
don Telegraph. The whole affair t,rnad
on some silly fun and stupid horsenIa y,
about wig. "A young man had been fas
cinated by the attractions of a girl a few
mitted to pay his attentions to her. but
she was by no means disposed to return
the compliment, as he had become very
bald through Illness and as the object of
never dream of marrying any one with
no hair on his head.
The youth meditated over his discomft-
ure, and then happy thought flashed
upon him. He would repair the ravages of
unkind nature by a recourse to art. and
forthwith he wendell his way to a hair
dresser's shop and became the delighted
possessor of a wig with curls and love
locks and elaborate partings in front and
behind, which. as he fondly hoped. would
produce the desired impression on the
heart of the obdurate young woman
Thus adorned he proceeded that evening
to a restaurant where she was dining with
some friends, but to his horror she NOT
only burst out laughing when he appeared
on the scene, but presently made a fa sh
at the wig which she tore off, revealing
his denuded head to the astOnished gaze
of the party. The youth endeavored 10
wrest the wig from her grasp, and SO. find
ing herself hard pressed, the fair maiden
passed IL over TO one OF her companions,
who tossed it to the other side of the room
and then as ignorant of the fact he still
struggled, she dealt him a slap in the
face.
Beside himself with disappointment and
wrath, the young man snatched a knife
from the table and, ere the spectators of
the scene could interfere, he stabbed the
girl in the neck. Cries of dismay now re-
sounded instead of the Deals of laughter
which had hitherto rent the air as the
young woman fell fainting to the floor.
The police were summoned, and while the
youth was led off in custody, the girl was
taken to the shop of a neighboring drug
gist, pending her removal to the hospital

1t may be worth while to remind those
who will celebrate the day with fireworks
that the city ordinances prohibit the ex-
plosion of fireworks in Bull street. in the
squares and in that part of the city north
of Jones street. fragrant violations of
the ordinances would probably have the
effect of putting upon the books laws that
are even more stringent, not to mention
the immediate prospect Of an interview
with the police recorder. The fireworks
ordinance may seem to be little rough
on the boys, but it was adopted for the
benefit and protection OF the city.
