The evangelist spoke from these
words last night as found III the l2tf
chapter I'd Samuel, 7th and 1871
verses. 1t was most earnest appea
to the sinners in the church to con
fess their sins and plead for forgive
ness. They were probably fooline
the church, but the world knew OF
their sins and the barkeeper, harlot
and the wicked ware pointing to
them. There would come a day
when these things would be revealed
and they would see themselves az,
David saw himself. May it do much
good. The evangelist has preached
many eloquent sermons and has
plead earnestly with the ungodly and
the sinner to forsake sin and love
God.
1t is not known yet what will be
done next week, but it IS hoped that
the evangelist will continue the SER
vices or that DIR. Wharton will arrive

Under ordinary circumstances, or in

the question of healthfulness is not the

be fatal to the trade of these numerous
people and to the support of their families.
The most progressive and enthusiastic
oyster growers there, and who appreciated
the benefits of the oyster law, has been
under great expense to plant and protect
his oyster beds against the theft, and he

MARSHALL STEVENS; REGRETs
He Writes Mayor Myers a Letter on
His Recent Visit Here.


His Recent Visit Here.
Mr.. Marshall Stevens, whose recent visit
TO Savannah Is well remembered, has not
forgotten Savannah since his return to
Manchester. The following letter. recelv-
ed from Mr.. Stevens yesterday by Mayor
Myers. is Of interest:
Manchester, Oct. 2s.-To the Worshipful,
the Mayor of Savannah, Savannah: Dear
Mr.. Mayor-Having arrived home from
my American tour, l beg to tender my sim
cere thanks to you for the cordial recep-
ton which you afforded to me when had
the pleasure of visiting your city.
/ can assure you that I heartily appre-
ciate the manner in which was received,
and feel sure that the knowledge which
! gained and the information concerning
the Manchester Ship Canal, which l was
privileged to place before you, will rebound
to our mutual benefit by opening up fresh
outlets for produce at reduced transporta-
ton rates.
Although my visit TO the states proved
very successful on the whole. regret very
much that after our joint efforts we have
not been able to fix up a line of steamers
between Savannah and Manchester, and
l am anxious that you should not feel that
anything has been lacking on our part to
bring about a more satisfactory termina-
ton to our mutual endeavors.
With kind regards, / am, dear Mr.. May
or, yours very truly,
Marshall Stevens, Manager.
Mr.. Stevens regrets that he did not Sc
cure the establishment OF a direct steam
ship line between Savannah and Manches-
ter are mutual, and II is hoped that some
thing Will yet be accomplished on this line
The following extract from an interview
with Mr.. Stevens. after the completion Of
MS American tour, in regard to direct
cotton shipments, is of interest here:
AS to cotton, the position. from the ship
canal point of view was a difficult one to
lace, from the fact that there was a COM
plete break at Liverpool between the ship
per on this side and the simmer on on
sloe. fhe spinner rarely il ever, came
into actual touch with the merchant. The
Liverpool cotton brokers', particularly
tnose acting for the spinners, were Fear
1ui mat their services would NOT he ra-
qu.reu II the spinner and the merchant

Aping the British.

Editor Morning News: see by the
News of to-day that Yale's crew are al
fecting English ideas. "They were taken
out in shell rugged in the English fash
ion, driven with English oars and manned
by an eight who pulled close to an Eng
fish stroke under the coaching Of Cant.
Bailey" so the dispatch says. Well, well.
that's what l was afraid of if we adopted
the gold standard. We'd be aping the
British in other things. l see so many
well-dressed gentlemen with their pants
turned up at the bottom, a la Prince or
Wales, and it not raining, but it's Eng
lish you know. Uncle Floxie.

cotton to Manchester. On this point 1t
is as well to explain that 1t is not the OBJ
ject of the ship canal administration TO
do away with the broker. That is a mat
ter between the broker and his client.
But. all the same, it is operating seriously
to our disadvantage, because the spin
ners' brokers are using the not very cred
liable method of boycotting the importing
merchant, by not showing his samples to
their spinners if he attempts to open up
direct trade with them. The Ship Canal
Company thought that the difficulty could
be met by getting the Liverpool Cotton
Association to consent that cotton stored
in Manchester should be deliverable just
in the same way as cotton stored in LiV-
erpool. In this way the actual sales of
the cotton could 20 on in the brokers' Of
fees at Liverpool as heretofore, the de-
liveries being made from the Manchester
and Liverpool warehouses, according to
circumstances The Liverpool Cotton As
sociation declined to look at il from this
point of view, with the result that the
spinners and the representatives of some
Of the cotton importers who are sufi-
GENTLY Independent Of Liverpool influences
have formed a Manchester Cotton Asso-
citation, which is gaining strength every
day, and from the operations of which
we are largely indebted for the cotton
imports already obtained from the Gulf
ports While last year substantial com
mencement was made in the importation
of cotton to Manchester direct, it can
hardly be said that we have done more
than get our foot in the business. But
with three-fourths OF the mills practically
within carting distance of the Manchester
docks, 1t goes without saying that the
bulk OF the cotton business must ulti-
mately find its way to Manchester"
Mr.. c. c. Harvey, a cotton spinner of
Manchester, who accompanied Mr.. stew
ems gave a similar explanation of the
situation as relates. to cotton shipments
to the Morning News during the visit
of his party to Savannah.

again getting in their work here Last
night while the sisters and occupants of
thief entered by climbing the transom
over the front door of the building, and
succeeded in getting 500 in cash and two
gold watches. One hundred dollars of the
money and one gold watch was the prop
erty of Miss n. Ella Villalonga of Savan-
nah, who returned to Fernandina a few
days ago. The watch was highly priced
by Miss Villalonga, as it was the property
of her mother, who was a Miss Fernan-
DEE of Savannah. The Fernandez family
owned almost the entire site of Fernan-
dina at one time during the old Spanish
days. No arrests have yet been made.

A NARROW ESCAPE.

Nan, AngelIne, and Mary lay mournful in
row:
Despair and grief were In their hearts, and n
their faces woe:
For Saturday was moving-day. and mother dear
had said,
AS she kissed them all and Rugged them all and
tucked them all in bed:
THAT heap of broken dollies we'll leave upon
the floor;
I'm sure you'll never miss them-I'H ma you
plenty more.
They're old and torn and battered up-not one
of them's complete
think 1 wouldn't take them to the house on
Pleasant street,"
Nan. Angelina and Mary went sadly off to sleep.
In happy dreams they soon forget that melan-
choly heap;
But when at last in slumber sound their tired
mother lay,
She heard a voice. gentle voice. that sweetly
seemed to say:
.sThose children you're so fond of-'tis odd you
cannot see,
They're really very far from what perfect
child should bel
There's many pretty child In town in case you
feel inclined
To choose some pretty new ones, and let these
stay behind.
"For Mary broke her arm. you know, and Nan
turns in her toes,
And Angelina has freckles on her funny little
nose;
They bump their heads and tear their frocks-
it's hard to keep them neat
think 1 wouldn't take them to the house on
Pleasant street,"
That loving little mother, oh! she started up In
fright.
She ran to all her babies, and she kissed and
Rugged them tight.
She put her little bonnet on, and bought pct
of glue,
And when they moved to Pleasant street. the
dollie all went too!
