In New York it was found, by observa-
ton, that the number of those who rode
bicycles for pleasure on recent Sunday
was FIVE, to one who drove horse for the
same purpose; and in Chicago it is as
serted that this condition prevails every
day in the week. This shows something
of the extent of the "craze."

YANKEE DOODLE AND DIXIE.
The Two TayIors OF Tennessee at the
Theater Tonight.

The Tennessee brothers, ALI and Bob
Taylor, will be seen and heard at the
theateE tonight IN their unique enter
tainment. Yankee Doodle and Dixie"
So much has been written and said Of the
entertainment by men Of such cOnspicu-
BUSINESS, that it will beyond question at
tract large audience
It is apparent from the tone OF the
Nashville. Knoxville, Chattanooga and
Atlanta papers, where the Hons ALI and
Bob have presented Yankee Doodle and
Dixie that It is not to be without some
considerable political effect in ef1acing
seFlonal feeling. IL is the hrst time the
horth ana the south and the TWO ideas OF
government that have long been al var
rance nave met in the same forum TO
measure each other and adjust their DIFF
ierences. The two men impersOnate the
TWO ideas, each fitted TO his side of IL by
strong political bias and prediction, and
they meet u as partisan champions, but
yet as brothers and compromise.
All Taylor makes an exposition Of the
history, value and achievement of fres
Doodle, and then Gov Bob glorifes Dixie
ana sets up her equal clam to be an
equal integral part OF the great union,
recounts the deeds done in lbertys name
Dy her valiant sons and prOclaims her
sovereign right TO equal share IN the
blessings and privileges. Of liberty. II is
presented in such entlcing array OF fra
ternal phrase that IL viii sOothe to sweet
est emotions of fellowship the feeling
that so long held the sections apart. Il
is a web OF patriotism with a wool or
fellowship embroidered and embellished
with rarest humor, and the papers say
that the large audiences that have heard
II applaud its patriotic tone. Gov. BObs
apostrophes thrill a Dixie audience to
tumultuOus applause, It is said, and when
they cross the borders into Yankeeland
with IL, as they will next month, it is
predicted that it Will meet reciprocal
plaudits, and out of it grow fuller ana
more cordial determination. The Nash

clares 81 to be the final solution of sec
tionalsm, and that ii will hasten the in
dustrial domination of the south.
Tomorrow night, Efie EIsler viii be
seen as Rosahnd in las You Like It."
Miss Ellsler is too well known to the
public to need a discussion as to her
merits as an actress. She has on many
occasions demonstrated her title to dra-
matte honors. Much interest has been
awakened among theatergoers to see her
in Shakespearian roles. The play will be
staged under the direction of Mr.. John
A Ellsler, who for many years was one
of the most prominent managers of
America. All the music. including the
famous Cuckoo Song" will be intro
duced and the costuming, il is claimed, is
historically correct.

VISIT OF THE FIRE CHIEF.
Chief Puder Impressed With the
Augusta Convention.

Chief Fireman ". B. Puder returned
yesterday morning from Atlanta, where ne
visited the exposition in company with
the other fire chiefs OF the country, who
adjourned to that city after the annual
convention in Augusta. The convention
was most successful and enjoyable one.
THE people OF Augusta did everything
in their power for US" Chief Puder said.
They were hospitable in the extreme,
and made the firemen know the meaning
OF real southern hospitality. Among other
things we had a barbecue breakfast at
the Scheutzen park. which was something
new to the visitors. The visitors, there
were about 100 Of them. were also taken
out to a cotton field and saw cotton picked
which was something very few OF them
had ever seen before. The convention was
held IN Atlanta once, but Atlanta, you
know, has a good many northern ways
about her. and this was the first time that
the convention had been held in a real,
old-time southern city. The boys realized
il, too. and enjoyed IL immensely.
There was very good display Of an
paratus and fire appliances a the meet
ing. IL was thought that there would be
very small display on account of the
fact that the members Of the convention
were an going TO the exposition any
way; but the display was one of the
best ever made at a convention"
Chief Puder was especially pleased with
2 pipe, which was shown for lighting cell
lar fires. 1t is intended for use from the
floor above by cutting through the floor
ing, and thus saving the firemen from
the danger Of being caught in cellars
OF burning buildings. The ball nozzle con-
Germ had glass house built to show the
workings of their nozzle There were 9TH
er spray nozzies on exhibition.
About the most important subject of
discussion at the meeting" said Chief
Puder, was on tho necessity of general
laws regulating the construction of build
ings and their inspection. Great inter
est was taken I'm this discussion, due
largely to the several fatal accidents re-
Gently due to faulty construction of
buildings. one of these accidents was
brought to our special attention by the
calling home Of Chief George Hale of
Kansas City by a telegram announcing
the death Of his brother-in-law. who was
a member Of the salvage corps of that
city, in a falling building. The general
expression of opinion was that local
laws are not sufficient. but that each
state should enact comprehensive laws
governing the inspection of buildings
and their contents, and that power
compel the removal of dangerous build
ings"
Chief Puder is now confined to his
home by a large carbuncle on his hip
which will probably lay him up for a few
days and which caused him to return
home earlier than he otherwise would
have done. A number Of the northern
fire chiefs are returning to their homes
through Savannah. Quite a party is ex-
pected here tonight to sail in the City
Of Birmingham tomorrow.

STOP ONLY AT CROSSINGS.
where to Get ON and on an EIec-
tric street Car.

WheFe 10 Uet On anu YIN an EAec-
tric street Car.
The City and Suburban railway has
resumed the enforcement of the rule stop
ping its cars on only one side of a street
crossing, the opposite side whence a car
is going. and stopping only at crossings.
When the Electric railway system was
introduced in Savannah this rule was
enforced on all lines. 1t is the recognized
rule all over the country and was IN OPP
Grafton here for some time. People would
hail the cars anywhere, however, between
streets and a both sides of crossings, and
motormen and conductors, to accommo-
date their passengers began to disregard
the rule, and finally it was
ignored altogether and the cars have been
stopping whenever signalled, on both sides
of street crossings, If signalled to do So
in the middle of a block, in fact, anywhere
except on a curve and occasionally an ex-
acting passenger would stand on a corner,
and If the car did not stop in the middle
of the sharp curve, where ii would be a
difficult matter to start it again, would
kick and denounce the motorman and
conductor for their lack of ciYility.
The City and Suburban now stops its
cars only on one side Of street crossings
and does not stop between streets at ali.
The rule is a reasonable one, better for
both passengers and railway company,
and as soon as the patrons of the road
learn where a stop is made they Will
comply with the rule readily. In this way
the company not only saves it's motorinen
and the wear and tear of its cars from
frequent stoppage, but is able TO
run it's schedules closer and with
more regularity, better time can be made
between crossings, and there will be no
kicking on the part of passengers about
the exact spot they are to be let on or
off.
The next step is to establish the rule
of passengers getting on or off a car only
on the right hand side, avoiding all dan
ger of getting off in front of a ear passing
on a double track or on a switch. In
nearly every large city this rule is en-
forced. The platforms of closed cars are
rallied in on one side, and on open cars
a railing is run along the left hand side
of the car.
The Electric railway, which enforced
the rule as to stopping only on the oppo-
site side of the crossings when the road
was first established, has abandoned it
for the accommodation of its patrons, and
its cars now stop wherever signalled.

mended as an accountant who is thor

AN OFF YEAR IN REcEIvERsHIPs
Fewer Railroads in Receivers'
Hands Than Since 1887.

Fewer Railroads in Receivers
Hands Than Since 1887.
Not for years has the number and mag
nitude of the companies for which re-
ceivers were appointed been so small
in the same length of time as in the three
months from July l to Oct. l. says the
Railway Age.
Only four roads, with 6S7 miles of lines
and representings> $2S 4SS, 900 of bonds and
stock, were turned over to receivers in
that period and of these the most impor-
tant, the st. Joseph and Grand Island.
with AS miles and SIS, 235, 900 of capitaliza-
ton, might properly be charged to the
account of 1892 when the Union Pacific
by which it was controlled, went into
insolvency.
If this road is taken out of the list on
the ground of duplication, the receivershto
record for the last three months will come
down to four roads with only 242 miles Of
line and Sl0,lOS,000 of bonds and debt--a re-
markably small total.
The receivership record for the entire
year will be chiefly notable for its small
large as that for the first nine months of
1894, when thirty-two roads, with 624
miles, and SS6l,656,000 of capital had been
turned over to receivers.
Compared with the black year. 1898.
when seVenty-four companies, represent
ing 29,340 miles and 81, 900 of capitai,
present year, and especially for the last
three months under consideration is in
deed cheering. 1t does not seem lilxeIV-
that the list will be greatly increased in
the quarter now passing, and the pros
pect is good that the receiverships Of 1895
will prove to represent a smaller number
Of roads than N any year since 1887. when
the list included only nine companies. op-

A can for the nnnished Goat.

Editor Morning News: Nothing has so
struck the attention of the returned travel
er this autumn as the quantity and fine va
riety of waste paper that we keep in the
streets. Everywhere you can see it, vary
ing beautifully the monotony Of asphalt
and shell-white paper, yellow paper,
brown paper, paper of every kind, shade
and degree; a prodigality of refuse and
scraps, claimed by no. one. Soon it will
slOp over into the exchange itself and
bury the mayor out of sight
Now for valuable suggestion, for which
no thanks could be too much. Let the
city cultivate the goat-the natural enemy
and destroyer of paper and tin cans. ANY
one can see that the ordinary resources
of the city are unequal to the invasion of
paper Before We are lost forever turn
out the goat Let her range free and pro-
ductive of many more goats; and we shall
thus be saved. Public Spirit.
