A Bullets Travels.

A story of how a forgotten shot came
one sportsman to another on a train bound
northward to the Adirondack mountains,
says the Chicago Chronicle. Four years
ago a New Yorker took down his small
caliber rifle from the rack on which it had
hung ever since the previous fall clean
ed it, and the next day took it on a deer
hunt to the Moose river regions of the
Adirondacks. He got to camp and the next
day took his stand at the natural dam
runaway. A deer came in, a small buck,
and two shots were fired at it, one of
which drew a little blood. The trail was
lost and the deer forgotten in the success
that attended the next days hunt.
Last spring the sportsman was talking
with a woodsman about hunting experien-
ces, and the woodsman showed him a bull
let, battered by the force of its impact.
In the head of the bullet was the mark
of a knife blade. In spite of its battered
condition, the New Yorker Identified it as
the one he had fired at the small buck
into the bullets fiat point to make it
spread we'll should it hit a deer.
The woodsman told how he found the
bullet two years ago in the spring. 1t was
lying ON a fiat rock mile from the natu-
raj dam, as if some one had laid it there.
1t was evident that the wounded deer had
fed and died back in the woods. Its car
eass had been torn by wood creatures, its
bones gnawed by mice, and the bullet had
fallen on the rock, borne there by some
fox perhaps, since 1t was a good table.
The New Yorker bought the bullet for 81,
and it now hangs on the rifle that fired it,

Personal.

"A French priest Father Martin. ad-
vances an extraordinary theory about 70
la in a religious review. He thinks that
the directing principle Of ZoIa's life is his
love of animals. He shows a monstrous
and even sacrilegious sympathy for cats
and dogs. They are, he feels, his kim
dred. This accounts for his dwelling, as
he does on the lowest instincts of man.
He can see the beast in him, but not the
angel.
Baron Rothschilds pet charity is the
largest free school in the world. 1t is of
course in the East End OF London and its
$500 scholars are taken from the poorest
class of Russian Jews. One hundred
teachers do the instructing; breakfasts
are provided each morning and each child
gets a suit of clothes and two pairs of
shoes year. There is a savings bank in
connection, where sums up TO $50 may be
deposited and which pays the young mon
ey-makers 10 per cent.
The late Sir John Millais was a grace
full speaker, but his speeches cost him a
great deal of time and labor. The London
Daily News says that when dinner was
given at the arts club on Leighton's ap-
pointment as president, Millais was in the
chair. He made an admirable speech-so
frank, so sympathetic so eloquent, so I'M
studied They Congratulated him on it,
saying they had no idea he had that gift
of oratory or could speak so we'll and so
spontaneously. Spontaneous" he said,
why that wretched speech has kept me
awake for the last five weeks!'
1.-Two new evangelsts who are looming
up in the west are just now holding a pc
culiar revival in Chicago. They call them
selves the Rev. Morrill, twins. They look
so much alike that they cannot be told
apart. In appearance they suggest a pair
of song-and-dance men ready to do a
turn in continuous performance house
and some of their methods are more akin
to the variety hall than to the church.
They charge an admission fee, the scale
of prices being announced as ten, twent,
and thirt," and their addresses are lib
orally sprinkled with coarse slang. One
of the features of their meetings is a re-
ligious stereopticon entertainment.

EnEIand's Markets.

England owing to her system Of plant
ing colonies, has markets in all parts Of
the world-markets which she controls
almost absolutely. Mr.. Joseph Chamber
lain. who is the head of the colonial de-
partment of the British government and
who win arrive in this country to-day or
tomorrow, has, it is said, vast schemes of
British expansion in various parts of the
world He says that Africa before long
win be one Of England's greatest markets,
and, that, too, without any material help
of consequence on the part of England.
Already England has a big hold there,
and she is steadily extending her infu-
ence and control. Mr.. Chamberlain has
sent engineers to South Africa to make
surveys with the view OF determining the
practicabilty of constructing railroads
there. 1t is believed that it is also his
intention TO send engineers to British
Guiana for the same purpose 1t is pretty
well understood that the Venezuela
boundary dispute would be much nearer
settlement than 1t is if it were not for
Mr.. Chamberlain's hesitation in submit
ting to arbitration the ownership of dis
puted territory occupied by British sub.
jects
There come dull periods in trade in Eng
land, just as in this and every other
commercial country, and at such times
English manufacturers have some diff
Guilty in disposing Of the products of their
mills. A Bay street cotton merchant
who visited England this summer, relates
a little story which illustrates the pol
icy of England when a condition of affairs
like that exists. An Englishman and an
American were discussing the trade con-
ditions in their respective countries, and
the American asked the Englishman what
the English manufacturers did when they
had more of their products on hand than
they could sell. The Englishman said that
the government sent it's warships to a saw
age country, conquered the natives and
compelled them to wear clothes, thus
opening a new market for British factory
products.
1t has been the British policy for
long time to open new markets for her
manufactured goods by subduing savages
and teaching them to wear clothes, and
it is the policy which Mr.. Joseph Cham
berlain is now engaged in carrying out.

The people of Key West appear to be
quite serious in the matter of the pro-
posed secession of the keys from the
state of Florida. They continue to hold
small meetings and discuss the project,
and to advocate the movement in the
newspapers. One striking argument they
use is that Key West is as far removed
from the seat of state government as Sa-
vannah is from Richmond or Baltimore is
from OTTAWA. and that it is divided from
the main land by many miles of naviga-
BILE water The twelfth port of the union
in revenues from imports is on the keys,
yet they are denied local self government,
and the necessary judicial machinery. 1t
really looks as If Florida would have to
make some concessions to her dissatisfied
offspring.

A Direct Line of steamers.

The coming of Marshall Stevens. the
manager of the Manchester Ship Canal
Company, who is expected here within
the next few days. promises to be a
quite important event in Savannah's conf
mercial history. The purpose of Mr..
stevens visit has been explained al
ready in our local columns. He wants to
make himself acquainted with our har-
Dor. our commerce and our facilities for
bringing products to the seaboard with
the view Of putting on line of steam
ships between this port and Manchester,
England.
Mr.. Stevens has not, of course, commit
ted himself to the undertaking. He Will
probably visit other South Atlantic ports
and will select as the American terminal
Of his line the port which promises the
best results.
We are satisfied, however, that IL tho
line is established Savannah will be one
of its terminals because of her excellent
harbor, her railroad advantages and the
magnitude Of her commerce. Mr.. Stevens
has been informed Of Savannah's advant-
ages and when he arrives he will find
that they have not been exaggerated.
1t is the purpose of the city of Man
chester to make the Manchester ship
canal a success financially 1t is admir-
ably suited for the purpose for which it
was constructed and answers satisfactor-
lily every demand upon it. Mr.. Stevens
is one of the original promoters of it, ana
the purpose of his visit to this country
is to advance its interests.
Lines of steamers now connect Man
chester with many of The most important
ports of the world, and the number Of
the ports is being steadily increased. From
the data at hand it would appear to be
greatly to savannah's interests to be con-
nected by direct line of steamers with
Manchester. The cost of sending goods
intended for Manchester to Manchester by
way of the canal is much less than send,
ing them by way of Liverpool. The diff
ference is so great that a considerably
cheaper freight rate would be possible
by way Of the canal.
However, Mr.. Stevens will be here
shortly, and no doubt will make a full
and satisfactory explanation of whatever
undertaking he has in view. We can only
say that Savannah will give every rea-
sonable encouragement TO anything that
promises to promote her commercial in
terests.

A sho,rmnn,s strntnrem.

Your story about calling for a doctor
in the circus" said a retired Snowman,
according to the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
nuisance in a good-sized Pennsylvania
town. was on the road
with farce comedy company
and we put in two weeks at the
town in question, there being a big mill
tary encampment there and a county fair
TO boot. We drew good houses all through
the engagement. and were booked for an
early return. / don't think we had been
there more than one night before the doc
tor nuisance began. There would come
a hurried messenger from the box Office
to the stage manager with request that
he ask if DR.. Bolus, or whatever his name
happened to be, was in the house, and if
he was to send him TO the box Office al
once. OF course the stage manager
couldn't well refuse, and general atten-
ton was directed to the medical man,
much to his satisfaction. We soon found
out that the doctors who were so much
in demand were very small medical fry,
and there wasn't any doubt that they had
themselves called for in order to secure
the consequent notorety.
well, we stood it for a few nights, and
then an idea occurred to me. l took a
walk up the main street zlntil came to
a certain sign hanging over a stairway.
l went up to the office indicated, and had
a brief conversation with its inmate, end
ing it by handing him reserved-seat tick
cts.
THAT evening, Immediately after the
first act and before any messenger from
the box office had a chance to arrive, l
stepped out in front of THE curtain and
held up my hand. Then in my gravest
tones l asked:
-" Is Or. Chizziold in the house?'
Immediately a very tall colored man,
with a bushy white head and huge sill
ver-mounted spectacles, arose in the au-
dience and said:
"'Heah l is, sab.
THE audience Uttered, but I kept my
gravity.
You are wanted at the box office at
once, doctor, in a case which requires
your immediate professional attention.
AS the aged darby ducked to me and
hobbled from the room the audience broke
into a wild roar.
Perhaps you will understand the cause
of this merriment when add that the old
man was a corn doctor and probably the
best known, eccentric character in town
There were no more doctors called for
from that stage during our engagement"

Contentment.

My old friend, Rush Strong, one of the
big merchants of Tennessee, with money
to burn, got his start in life by a neat
trick that advertised his business all over
the south, says a writer in the New
York Press. The county was about to
hold fair and each merchant offered
prize for the best of something in his
line. A offered $40 for the finest pound
of butter, B $40 for the finest dozen eggs,
etc When it came Strongs turn he said
that he wanted all night to think it over,
as he felt very poor. The next day he
sent to the committee this proposition:
Rush Strong will give half the entire
stock in his store to the man or woman
who is contented with his or her lot i'll
life
1t was published in the pamphlet of the
fair association, and caused a laugh all
over the state. One day the president
said to Strong: Look here, Strong; we've
been fooling about this thing long enough
and now it's getting serious. You'd bet
ter stop it right now and tell everybody
that you were only joking, because there
a chap down here in Blount county who S
a-goin' to take you up, and he's got
half a dozen neighbors ready to swear
that he's absolutely contented with his
lot in life"
Strong vowed that he meant business and
would leave the decision in the com
mittee's hands: the stock was ready to
be divided. Pleading was in vain. The
man appeared with his witnesses, de-
claring that he was going to get the
prize. He made out a good case, and the
committee were about to decide in his
favor, when Strong arose and asked quiz
city:
Gentlemen, if this man is contented
with his lot in life, what on earth does
he want with the half of my stock?"
The committee grasped the situation at
once, and the ccntented man was laugh
ed out of Knoxville.

The number of immigrants that arrived
in this country during the fiscal year end
ing June 80 last was $4,000 greater than
for the year preceding. OF every 100 en-,
tering Is were from Italy, 20 from Aus.
tria-Hungary and IS from Russia. Nearly
one-half of the Italian immigrants were
unable to read or write, and the pro-
portion of illiterate Huns and Russians
was almost as great. Probably one-third
of the total number that came in-264 900
might be classed as undesirable. A year
or two ago there was a considerable move
ment of Italians and Hungarians from

seems however, that that reflex tide has
been checked, and that the flow OF
the undesirable surplus population of Eus

The indianapolis Convention.
Columbus (Ga) Enquirer-Sun Dem.).

The indianapolis convention will accom-
plish nothing. The ticket it names can
not possibly be elected, and the result
of putting it in the field will be to with
draw more votes from Mckinley than
from Bryan. The men who will attend
this convention and those who support
the ticket it names would, IL no such
ticket was in the field, cast their votes
for Mckinley in preference to Bryan, and
Bryan will not be the loser by it. The
convention will not injure the prospects
of the democratic nominees, but II would
be better for the party If it was not held
and If all democrats would stand true
to the party. If the party has gone wrong
II would be much wiser to stay inside
the ranks and help to set her right than
to stray of after independent organiza-
ton.
