LOOKING AFTER THE PICTURES.
Director Brandt's visit TO the Tel
fair Acadcnly

Director Carl L. Brandt of the Telfair
Academy of Arts and Sciences is in the
city. Director Brandt came to Savannah
to look after the works of art in the aca-
denny, and to see if they need any atten-
ton. While they may appear to be in the
best condition sometimes an experienced
eye will detect evils for which some rem
edy must be found.
Some months ago Mr.. Brandt came to
savannah on a similar mission, and on
making an investigation he found that sew
eral of the finest pictures in the gallery
had been attacked by little worm, which
was eating into and destroying them. He
killed all of the insects, treating the pic
lures in such way as to prevent a recur-
renee of the evil.
Mr. Brandt speaks very pleasantly of the
art class which is now being conducted at
the academy by Mr.. Horace Bradley. He
says he finds a large number of his former
pupils in the classes, and he IS glad TO see
them taking an interest in the work. He
wishes the art school every success, and
believes that much good will come OF It.

The Crlsp-Smith joint debate on the
question of free silver versus sound money
have come to partial stop, on account of
failure of Mr.. Crisp's voice to fulfill its
proper functions. The people of Savan-
nah have taken a great interest in this
money standard question, but they fully
realize that as long as Logan, the Butcher,
keeps the best meats in town at the lowest
prices, they need not worry about the
quality of the food they buy for dinner

nets have been bought and Logan is
welcoming back all his old customers, who
have been keeping Lent, and abstaining
from meat. No matter how fastidious
