The fact that DR.. Conan Doyle is going
TO the Soudan for a London journal has as
tonished many people who thought that
newspaper life had no destinations for the
famous novelist. Conan Doyle, however
mas tasted the joys that reward the special
correspondent, and says that the delights of
newspaper work are equal to anything
that successful novel writing begets.
Prince Schwartzenberg. attached to
the Austro- Hungarian embassy in Berlin,
received at Prague, recently. with great
solemnity, the degree of doctor of law sub

distinction, conferred only in Austria IT

"A remarkable tribute to the efficiency
of Mr.. Beerbohm Trees impersonation of
''Svengalr' has been involuntarily paid
by visitor to the Haymarket, London. A
lady in the stalls found herself succumbing

Miss Baird, and had to be removed into
the corridor. If the process had gone a
little further probably Mr.. Tree alone
would have been able to release his vic

Princess Marguerite de Chartres. who
is to marry Maj Mcmahon, the son of the
marshal, has never lost a certain air of
dignity that she acquired when expectant
dauphiness. The grand ladies who now
blame her for marrying to please herself
used then, in courtesying 10 her, touch the
ground with the knee. She is naturally
more staid than her sister, the Princess
Waldemar, and has softer and more gra-
cious manners.
Thomas Hardy, the novelist. is thus
described by a writer who has recently
met him: His cheeks are slightly sunken
and his skin is sallow, speaking of seden-
tary labors. the midnight lamp and of a
constitution that could not support the
sustained strain Of an arduous task. Yet
his eyes tell another tale and possess that
phosphorescent light that indicates energy.
The solution of these contradictory re-
marks must be that he is mentally as ro-
bust as he is physically delicate

The Harbor improvement.

The prosperity OF Savannah is depend
ent largely upon her commerce. 1t is
gratifying to find that in the pending
river and harbor bill ample provision
is made for completing the river and
harbor Improvement, and for opening a
steamboat channel between Savannah and
Beaufort. The additional work to be done
the harbor from shoaling, and to afford
a safe anchorage at Tybee during severe
storms. Without this additional improve
ment the annual expense of keeping the
channel at it's present depth would be
large. With the improvement the ex-
pense viii be very small.
It is highly important also that the
anchorage at Tybee should be made safe.
The proposed additional work will make
Tybee a refuge for ships. 1t will also
make it stopping place for ships looking
for orders and needing coal 1t can be
readily seen, therefore, that there are
strong reasons for the additional ex-
penditure recommended by Capt. Garter
reasons which appear to have had
weight with the river and harbor commit
tee.
The opening of a satisfactory steam
boat route between this city and Beau
fort is another matter in which Savan-
nah is deeply interested. The trade OF
the Beaufort section, which had been com
ing to Savannah from time immemorial
has been checked to some extent by the
harbor improvement. With a satisfactory
steamboat channel this trade win be re-
sumed in all its former volume, and
will steadily grow in importance
with her splendid railroad facilities and
her fine harbor advantages, there is nc
reason why Savannah's growth in wealth
and population should not be rapid. Il
will be if her people make the best pos
sible use of their splendid opportunities.

RniIrnnd Rntes.

Whenever the railroads attempt to pro-
tect themselves against ruinous competi-
ton demagogues rise up and say the peo-
pie are being robbed. Recently. when the
bill to allow pooling was before congress
there were men i'm that body who raised all
sorts of objections to it, not because they
doubted the justice of the bill, but be-
cause they thought they could increase
their popularity with their constituents
by opposing it.
At the beginning of this year the great
railroads east of the Mississippi and north
of the Ohio river entered into a traffic
agreement for the purpose of maintaining
rates. The agreement provides that the
rates shall be reasonable, uniform and
stable. At once the railroads interested
in the agreement were viciously attacked
by some of the newspapers. and certain
class of shippers. The railroads said
nothing in reply. believing they could
convince the public that the agreement
was for their benefit as well as that of the
railroads. Their position was and is that
the people want reasonable rates, and
Lney want them UNIFORM ana SldDle.
Where there is unrestrained competition
among railroads covering practically the
same territory and reaching the same
points there is great uncertainty in rates.
One shipper is sure to get the advantage
of another, and it is only a question of
time when the large shippers drive the
small ones out of business.
The traffic agreement of the roads in
question had been in operation a month
when the board of trade and transporta-
ton of New York, which is composed of
business men, was asked to make a re-
port on it, The board did so, and it's re-
port is published elsewhere in this issue
of the Morning News. 1t is well worth
reading. 1t shows that shippers are salts
fled with it. and would much rather have
such rates as they now have than be
subjected TO the annoyances and uncer-
tainties which prevailed before the traffic
| agreement was adopted. The report
| should be read by members of congress-
1t contains a lesson for them. 1t may in
| fiuence them to regard with more favor
any other pooling bill that may be in
| troduced into congress-

To the DYING Rnrd.


From the Boston Herald
That is an exquisite bit of verse that
James whitcomb Riley has addressed to
the dying composer of Kathleen Mavour-
neen." Here it is:
Kathleen Mavourneen, the song is still
ringing,
AS fresh and as clean as the triu of
the bird.
In world-weary hearts it is sobbing and
singing,
In pathos too sweet for the tenderest
word.
o, have we forgotten the one who first
breathed 1t?
And have we forgotten its raptyrous art?
Our need to the master whose genius be-
o. why are thou silent. thou voice of
my heart;
Kathleen Mavourneen, thy lover still lin
gers,
The long night is waning-the stars pale
and few.
The sad serenader, with tremulous fin
Is bound with his tears as the lily with
dew.
The.old harpstrings quaver, the old voice
is shaking,
In signs and in sobs means the yearn-
ing refrain.
The old vision dims and the old heart is
breaking
Kathleen Mavourneen, inspire us again!
1t is almost as sweet and as tender as
the famous song that inspired it.

Easter.

Easter! 1t Commentaries the arising
of Christ from the tomb. 1t typines the
bursting of nature into new life after ly-
ing dormant during the winter. 1t is
marked with brightness and cheerfulness,
and is celebrated with songs of hallelujah
1t is a season of gladness, in the religious
world. succeeding a long period of pen
ance in sackcloth and ashes. The minds
and hearts of devotees are now supposed
to have been properly chastened and puri-
fed and prepared for the trials and temp
tations, as well as the pleasures, of the
succeeding months. To consider the day
more in the concrete. it is the day for
new bonnets and new gowns of the first
light fabric and bright colors of the spring.
In this city to-day. if the weather pre-
dictions are fulfilled. these will be seen
to the very best advantage. The trees
are all putting on new foliage, the birds
are singing, and all nature is bright and
fresh. Proper religious devotions Will of
course. be performed in the morning, and
in the afternoon will come the promenade.
And it Will be a sight worth going miles
to behold.

The Philadelphia Press (rep). has a
special dispatch from Atlanta, calling at
tention to the fractional fight of the Geor-
gia democracy, and the opportunity for
the republicans to "slip in between" and
capture the state. The dispatch also notes
that the Georgia republicans are this
year more active than they have been
before for a number of years. AT the
same time, there are democrats in Geor-
gia who are doing their best to foment
discord in the party by upsetting pre-
cedents and disregarding party laws and
customs for the purpose of securing, if
possible, personal advantages for them
selves or their favorites. 1t would give
the republicans and populists great COM
fort to see the Georgia democracy rent
in twain. And some Georgia democrats
are working hard to comfort the republic
cans and poulists.
