Silver Garden Tools.

Ono of the absurdities of the ap-
plication of silver to all sorts of things
is it's use in trowels for the use of the
conservatory. Silver is no better
suited for trowels than some other
and cheaper noncorroding metals.

Riding Without a Horse.

An ingenious man hos invented a.
saddle machine for the acquirement
of perfect seat and self-confdence
as an equestrienne within ones own
home. 1t is said that many ladies'
are overcoming timidity by means of
this home practice as prelude 'sto
learning how to ride" the veritable
equine back.
BY a skillful mechanical arrange
ment the movements of horse i'm,
walking, trotting, cantering or gal
loplng are impaired to saddle, upon
which lady or gentlemen may sit
with perfect comfort and safety,
blandly confident that. although they.
are enjoying to the full all the
pleasure and hoalth-giving motion of
riding on horseback, there is no fear
OF their mount rearing, or boiling, or
Kicking, or jibbing or behaving like
che famous trick horse from the circus.
The motion obtained from the sad
Ole, as in actual horse riding, is verti.
cal. and produced by the rider rising
ON the stirrups or footboards as if
seated upon horse. and under all the
conditions, whether the motion be
gentle or that of trot or gallop, the
rider Is perfectly secure in his or her
seat, so that all the advantages of real
horse exercise can be enjoyed with
none OF its inevitable risks. Chicago

Large Requests for Public Uses.
Within q week two wills have been
probated in this city, containing large
legacies to our local benevolent and

how vast is the sum yearly bequeathed
or given to charitable uses in this
country In the course of year Dur
ing the las year the enormous sum of
$19,967, 116 was given by well-to- do
people and others to churches, col
leges, museums, art galleries, libraries
and other educational and helpful in
stitutions. The Chicago Tribune has
diligently kept the record from year
to year which it felicitously calls it's
"white record" In 1898 these free
gifts to the public reached still more
colossal figures --S33, ,319,8 1866. No
sums less than $1,000 appear in the

order Looked FOR.

Tho answer Of the Central Railroad and

In the answer the defendant reserves the
right OF any exceptions to any errors which
may be contained in the cross bill. IL ad-
mits in general the allegations OF the bill

that more than $2.n00,O0o was owned as
floating debt on April !, 1890. at the time

the consoiidated mortgage was MADE,
namely, 10 pay the floating debt. take up

ANOTHER ROTTEN POLE.
1t Fell on the Trolley Wire on the
barnard street Line.

1t Fell on the Trolley Wire on the
Barnard street Line.
The danger from falling posts, on trolley
wires seems to be growing greater every
day. Following the accident at Abercorn
and Bay streets Sunday where three of
the posts supporting the trolley wires fell
to the ground on account of rottenness,
another fell yesterday ON Barnard street,
between CASTOR and Huntingdon.
This post, like the others, was thoroughly
rotten at It's base. construction car
was working on one side of the switch at
that point. when the regular car came
along about $3.50 o'clock in the afternoon.
In moving the construction car struck one
of the supporting wires connected with the
post and it fell upon the trolley wire
breaking 1t down. Fearing danger the
passengers in the car jumped out but the
wires were Strengthened out after a few
minutes, and the car left the switch
The pole had rotted almost entirely away
at the point where il entered the ground
and might easily have been pushed over
by q man.
A partial examination of the poles along
the Barnard street line shows that many
of them are half rotted off at the base and
are likely to fall II subjected TO any sud
den or severe strain like the slipping of a
trolly wheel and the throwing of the troll
ley pole against the wires.

THE. ROAD COMMISSIONERS.
They Indorsc the Hired Labor sys-
TEN of Road Building.

The semi-annual meeting of the board
Of road commissioners was held at the
court house yesterday. Mr.. Gugle Bour-
quin presided.
The meeting was largely attended. At
ter hearing the report of the chairman on
the change in the plan of road building
from the old plan to the building Of roads
by hired labor, 1t was unanimously agreed
that the county commissioners should
continue the work. and have the most
travelled roads worked. The chairman no
titled the board that It would be neces-
sary for il to continue working the roads
In some cases as il will be a long time
be able to reach them.
The board condemned the plan of the
county commissioners in changing the
roads from thirty feet to twenty-one feet,
and thought 1t absurd to grade sand
roads, sixteen inches to eleven and half
feet
The Smelling of the ogeechee road by the
city, and the continuation of the work by
the county commissioners to the rail-
road crossing was approved. II was esti-
mated that this work when done would he
worth $4,000 to the travelling public, and
would make the Ogeechee road the most
popular drive around the city. The chair
man said that formerly the road from
Anderson street to the Charleston and Sa-
vannah railway crossing, one and half
miles, was equal to a pull of five inches.
The committee on the backing Of water
on the Pine Barren road by the Ogeechee
canal was allowed further time, and was
instructed to proceed against the canal
company as a public nuisance.
