BAILEY, BRIGHT AND BRAVE
Great Speech of the Brilliant
Young Texan.
THE ISSUE Is ILLUMINED
The Light of Powerful Intellect Upon the
Paramount Question of the Day.
ARGUMENTS THAT ARE UNANSWERABLE
The Opera House Was Taxed to It's Utmost
Capacity Last Night-At Least 1000
Turned Away Enthusiastic
Audience Greeted Him.
ARGUMENTS THAT ARE UNANSWERABLE

Hon. Joseph w. Bailey of Texas reach
ed the city yesterday afternoon at Ais
o'clock. He came in over the Louisville
and Nashville railroad from Lexing ton,
Ky.
He has been in Kentucky for several
days making speeches in the interest of
the national democratic ticket.
Mr.. Bailey was met at the depot by
local reception committee and escorted to
the Morris hotel, where lunch was
served, after which quite number of
friends met him in the parlors.
By s o'clock the opera house was crowd
ed to it's capacity, the number present
being estimated at from 1000 to 1900.
Capt. F. S. Wite had been selected as
master of ceremonies, and when the cur
tain arose and Captain White came for
ward to introduce Mr.. Bailey the applause
was almost deafening. Ladies waved
their handkerchiefs and patriotic cheers
mingled together almost as one sound.
The Introduction.
1--WE have passed through many politi-
cal contests" said Captain White, but
in this contest there are two great armies
arrayed against each other. In one we
find the farmers, the miners the mechan-
les and the masses. In the other the mil
lionaires, the trusts and a few men who
think more of their mess of pottage than
the best interests of the commonwealth.
"One floats flag on the folds of which
is America Is supreme-work for the
working man, bread for the millions and
prosperity for ALL On the other is in
scribed Great Britain is supreme-more
millions for the rich, less work for the Ia
borer, death to the republic and damna-
tion of the poor.
"These great armies have met on the
plains of the west and we see before us
the fleeing enemy. The south and the
west have combined in this struggle for
right and justice, and, headed by our
superb candidate, William Jennings Bry-
an, we see the opposition flying to New
England to make their last stand. (Cheers
and hurrahs for Bryan)
"There comes to us today the young
giant of democracy from the great state
of Texas bringing glad tidings-a man
whose birthplace was in that of our bor-
der state, the home of the matchless
Prentiss and Lamar and the undying
Jefferson Davis-the state Of my own ma
tivity
IN 81 came east and he went west,
But neither flew over the cuckoo's nest

you Hon. Joseph w. Bailey, of Texas"

A TEMPLE OF MYSTIC sHRINERs
Savannah to Have the Second COun-
ell In Georgia.


knights Templar and Scottish Rite Ma
sons, who have taken their thirty-second
degree will be glad to learn that Savan-
nah is to have a council of what is known
in Masonry as the Mystic shriners. This
viii be the second council of that order
in the state. the only other one being in
Atlanta.
Mr.. John II. Cavanaugh, who is a
member of the Washington ID. c. coun-
ell of Mystic Shriners, has just returned
from the annual session of the Imperial
council of the order, where he succeeded
in getting that body to grant a dispense
ton to Savannah.
Mr.. Cavanaugh is especially to be con-
graduated in the success of his efforts
as he was strongly opposed from the
start by the Atlanta members of the or
der. The Atlanta members insisted that
there should be only one council in the
state, as they wanted to secure as large
a membership as possible. There are
about ten Knights Templar in SaVan~
nah who are members of the Atlanta
council.
Only Knights Templar and Scottish Rite
Masons who have taken their thirty-sac-
ond degree can join the Mystic Shriners,
but there are enough of these in Savan-
nah to make up large council. The pc
tition which Mr.. Cavanaugh had was
signed by the ten members here of the
Atlanta council. beside ffty-two others,
who are eligible and who wanted a coan-
ell in Savannah. Those interested ex~
pect to receive their dispensation now
within a few days, and they will form
the council at once. After IT has been
started there is little doubt that its mem
bership will within a short time go up
to 100
This is the feature of the Masonic or
der in which the biggest share Of the fun is
contained. 1t is the custodian of the cam
els and the hot sands of the deserts, the
wild ass, and few other celebrities
with which its members are best ac-
quainted. There is not a member of this
order who ever complained that he did
not get his moneys worth when he went
into it, that is, after he once got in
safely

The fight in the Gobernado hills yes

NEW OCEAN LINER.
Pacific Mail to Have New Steamer.
Profitable Year.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov-The Paci-
fc Mail Steamship Company has at last
awakened to the necessity of building
vessels that can successfully compete
with the swift liners of the Canadian
Pacific and the new Japanese Steam
ship Company. a dispatch from New
York has been received which amour
ces positively that by a unanimous vote
the directors of the Pacific Mail Steam
ship Company have ordered the build
ing of a new steamer. The ship will
fly the American flag and Will be avail
able for use by the Government as a
transport. She is to be of 1000 tons
burden and capable of making not less
than sixteen knots an hour. This
steamer is to be used in the China
trade of the line.
The directors have authorized the
payment of the semi-annuaI dividend
of ! per cent of the capital stock of
$40, 000, 900. The report of the treasur-
er showed that the company has in the
treasury 81, 100000. When Coils p.
Huntington took the presidency of the
company in 1887 there was a deficit it
is said of $1,25O,OOO.
The new steamer will be built at
Newport News and will be at least one
third large than the Empress of China
and Empress of Japan of the Canadian
Pacific line and 2,030 tons, gross, larger
than the China, the best vessel the
Pacific Mail has on it's China route at
present. AS compared with the great
American greyhound ST. Paul, the new
craft will be about 400 tons, gross,
smaller but her passenger accOmmoda-
ton will be equal to that of the st.
Paul, and her engines built on very
much the same designs.
The prOpelling engines will be Of the
triple expansion type, capable of driv-
ing the ship at about IS knots under
pressure Electricity will be furnish
ed by two powerful motors that will
furnish 400 lights. One of the features
of the new ship will be a promenade
deck, such as have the Atlantic liners.
1t is thought here that the company
will not stop building after they have
completed the vessel mentioned. At
present number of White Star boats
are chartered by the company, and if
mail subsidies can be secured it would
not be at all profitable to hire English
craft.

a cough or cold than Chamberlain s

extensively, and it has always given

This is the only remedy that is
known to be a certain preventive of
