% APT. AND MRS. SAMUEL WATTS


- OF Boston, are at the Arlington.
Capt. Watts belongs TO the old school
OF deep water sailors. who accumulated
considerable wealth in the paliny days of
the merchant marine, and who believes in
spending his money where it will be of
service. He is n native of the old town
OF Thomaston, Me-, noted as the site of
the States prison. where, at one time, so
many aristocratic prisoners were confined.
A few years ago he caused to be built
in that place one of the finest business
blocks and public halls to be found along
the seacoast. d 1t was dedicated with
great pomp and, ceremony by the leading
citizens OF the State. The captain. who
is now engaged, in business in Boston. Is
an enthusiastic exponent of sound money,
and talks interestingly on that subject.
In common with the rest OF the Yankees.
he believes tllat.nO one has a show for the
Presidential nomination but Reed, and
thinks there is no question as to who
Cleveland's successor will be.

Col. Garrard's Motion Not Disre'
sDectfuI to the TeIfair Board.

Editor Morning News: 1t was intimated
on Monday night at the meeting of the
Georgia Historical Society that Col Gar
rard's motion to disaffirm the action of
the board in electing Mr.. Brandt director
and setting it aside, was disrespectful
to the board 1t is impossible that such
can be the case.
Under the will of Miss Telfair the whole
society is the trustee of the Telfair Acad-
envy. The board of managers of the So
cietv are merely the servants of the trus-
tee society in managing the trust, and it
is expressly provided by the bylaws that
the board shall be prepared to report
it's acts at any meeting, and that these
acts shall be subject in all things to
the revision and approval of the society.
Thus, when the officers report to the
society," the society has not only right,
hut if 1t thinks the action taken wrong,
il is its duty to say to the officers, You
have made a mistake and we rectify it
Whether it is a mistake or not, depends
are now called upon to decide whether
the Telfair trust shall be made useful to
fine public of Savannah or practically dec-
icated to Mr.. Brandt
To saw that the motion to disaffirm and
set aside an election by the servants of
fhe society is disrespectful, is to hold that
the board and not the society are the
trustees and that the servants or the So
ciety are free from its control. OF course,
that would be nonsense. If the society
is the trustee and has a right to revise,
it has right to disapprove and the off
GERS are all elected and serve as the Tel
90 Justice.

Discovered DE- Mrs. OIney.
From the chicago Chronicle.


Mrs Olney, wife of the Secretary of
State, recently put her Yankee wits to
work and evolved an invention which has
been revelation to the postoffice depart
ment. That institution never understood
the full value of the special delivery stamp
until it's powers were developed by down
east wit. Mrs. Olneys discovery may
prove Of value to other people who find
themselves face to face with the situation
which reused that lady's shrewdness.
She had a daughter living abroad. Let
tiers from her were always received Just
too late to be answered by return steam
er of the same date. After puzzling over ii
some time Mrs. Olney, who was living in
Boston at the time, queried the postofflce
authorities as to whether special delivery
stamp placed on a letter mailed in a. for
eign country would be delivered any quick
er for it on this side. The answer finally
came that unless the special delivery
stamp was cancelled before IL landed here
1t ought to be delivered as any other letter
similarly stamped. Accordingly one of the
United States special delivery stamps was
placed on the next letter mailed in Ger
many to Mrs. Olney. Under it in German
was the direction: This stomp is not to
be cancelled in Germany"
The scheme worked perfectly The let
ter arrived ahead of the time of previous
ones and an answer was sent back by
steamer sailing the same day Many let
ters have since been sent in the same
manner and the special stamp always
does its work as desired.

If We Could Move to Mars.


1t is not necessary to consider the Vari-
GUS reasons that would lmpel many in
habitants of the earth to go to Mars if
they had the opportunity. But no one can
doubt that the first train for Mars, or
the first balloon, or the first electric liner
sent out by the Universal Celestial Trans
pOrtation and Safe-Deltvery Company
Mars Division, would be booked to its ut
most capacity. Curiosity alone, would
suffice to crowd it, and it is certain that
the Anglo-SaXon race, which has furn-
ished most of the great travellers, would
be fully represented in the throng of ad-
venturers bound for another world.
When Mars is nearest TO the earth its
distance is no less than 36,0O0,0OO miles
But if we set our speed to match that Of
an electric impulse flying through the
Atlantic cable-say 1900 miles per second
we should be there in just forty min
utes.
on approaching Mars we should behold
a world looking in some respects remark
ably like the earth, having seasons re-
senbling ours, with torrid, temperate and
frigid zones; turning on its axis like our
globe, and in nearly the same time; show
ing in winter broad white caps, as of
snow, covering Its polar regions, and pre-
senting many appearances suggestive of
continents, oceans, Islands and penlnSu-
las. AS we watched 1t slowly turning I'M
der our eyes, we should see on one slde'
south of the equator q huge, staring, eye
like spot which Schiaparelli has named the
Lake of the SUM- and on the opposite
side reaching from the southern hemis-
crooked area, somewhat resembling North
America in shape and known to astron-
omers as the "HOur-glass Sea- And then
all the globe beneath us would appear to
be mapped with delicate reds and yellows
and grays and blues; long, waving curves
and sharper indentatiOns would make their
appearances in what look like coast lines;
and presently, running east and west, and
south and north and passing beyond the
horizons utmost rim" network of dark
colOred lines, like vast web covering the
planet, would be seen. These are the IA
nous canals"
But while we were wondering what this
could mean we would be struck by another
unearthly thing. Being accustomed to
dwell on a globe, thFee-fourths of whose
surface is covered with water, it could
not escape our notice that the world we
were approaching had far more land than
water. Indeed, it is likely that we should
find that the "Hour-glass Sea-" and many
of the other so-called seas of Mars are
only part of the time filled with water,
and that even then, they are not like ter
restrial oceans, but rather vast swamps,
choked with rank vegetation, suddenly
awakened to life by periodical inunda-
tons supplying moisture to their roots.
Visiting them at another time we should
find only deserts with cracked soil bak-
ing in the sun. At any rate, some of the
discoveries made with great telescopes in
1894 suggest these things.
