ORDINANCE.

By Alderman Garrard-
An ordinance, touching Estill park, and
amending an ordinance relating to the
same passed May 10, 1898, by annulling
that portion providing for commissioners
for said park, and in lieu thereof putting
said park under control of the park and
tree commission for the city of Savannah.
Section l. Be it ordained by the mayor
and aldermen of the city of Savannah, in
council assembled, That so much of said
ordinance passed May 10, 1898, as pro-
vides for commissioners of said Estill
park is annulled, and hereafter the park
and tree commission for the city of Sa-
vannah shall have the exclusive manage
ment of said park, and shall be charged

ment, adornment, good order and regula-
ton thereof.
Sec. 2 Be it further ordained, That all
money which has been, or may hereafter

a County Reformntorr.

Judge Norwood. in his charge to the
grand jury. touched upon a matter 10
which a good many people Of this city
are giving considerable thought. The
matter is this: Cannot something be done
with the youthful criminals Of the county
that would afford them an opportunity to
reform? The judge admitted that he was
not ready 10 make suggestions. though
he had given the question OF making some
other disposition Of youthful criminals
than the sending Of them TO the chain
gang great deal Of thought. He re-
quested the grand jury To consider the
subject and report its conclusions.
There is no doubt that under the present
system Of sending all criminals who are
sentenced by the city court to imprison-
ment to the chain-gang the young Grim
inals become hardened criminals. But to
the chain-gang they must go. because
there is nowhere else to send them. If
there was reformatory many boys and
girls who are now convicted Of petty Of
fenses might be taught to become law
abiding and respectable citizens.
Inc Judge Threw out a tnOuBnL lnal
looked toward making place for youth
full criminals at the poor farm. That farm
includes a very large tract of land. What
is there to prevent one hundred acres of
it from being set apart as a site for
home and school for criminals Of this
class? The buildings would not cost
great deal of money, and in the course
Of two or three years the farm could be
made self-sustaining. There would, of
course. have to be a superintendent, a
matron, a school teacher and two or three
guards. The convicts, however. would do
all the work on the farm and at night.
or for an hour or two each day. could be
taught in the school. Such an institution,
If properly managed. would not cost the
county anything for maintenance. The
crops would pay all expenses.
The proper disposition of youthful Grim
inals is a problem that it is difficult to
solve. 1t may be that a better solution
than the one suggested will be offered
1t is evident that having as many youth
full criminals as this county has, the pun
ishment of those of them who are con-
victed of crimes should be administered
in connection with efforts for their reform
alton.

1t would appear from the dispatches
that the Spaniards in Cuba did not wait
for the arrival of Gen. Weyler to inaugu-
rate a campaign of blood against not
only the insurgents but their non-cambat-
ant sympathizers also. The story from
sabanilla. if correct. is one of shame to
the Spanish cause. No outrage in Ar
menia has been more wanton and cruel
than the reported firing on and killing of
helpless women and children in Saban-
lila, after those who might have defended
them had left 1t is to be hoped
that the story of the massacre can be
proved untrue. For it is pretty well as
sured that the American people would
not view with complacency such acts of
outrage upon humanity at their very
doors.

so-called hard times and the prevailing
scarcity of money he said among other
things. that his bank had plenty of money
and could not lend it to farmers in his
section simply because the farmers did

The Kentucky chapter of the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union is very much
opposed to the proposition that the new
cruiser that is to bear the name of Ken
lucky shall be christened with a bottle
OF bourbon whisky. Really it would seem
that the union ought to favor the propo-
sition. When the bottle is smashed on
the bow OF the ship. quart OF old bour-
bon containing at least four possible
DRINKS and as many headaches. will be
spilled. Thus four possible drunks will
become impossibilities. Once spilled. that
quart of bourbon can never be gathered
up, to enter mans mouth and steal away
his brain. If some other liquid should be
used, the quart of bourbon which might
have been spilled upon the unsusceptible
bows of the ship would be left in the
whisky stock; and that identical quart
might send some susceptible husband
home to his wife with a highly accentu-
ated jag. 1t seems to us that the Wo-
mans Christian Temperance Union ought
to plead with the proper authorities to
use whisky by all means. and to increase
the bottle to be broken from quart to gal
lon size

They Left n Hole.

The committee which Investigated the
charges that Lord Dunraven made
against Mr. Iselin and the other members
of the syndicate that sailed the Defender
against the Valkyrie in the international
cup races last fall, purposely let hole
through which he can gracefully crawl
and avoid the consequences of his act.
If he doesn't withdraw his charges, how
ever, and apologize he will be expelled
from the New York Yacht Club. in all
probability.
The committee reported that there was
no foundation for the charges. That be-
ing the case Lord Dunraven can hardly
hold up his head again in yachting cir
Giles If he does not say he was mistaken
and express regret for his mistake.
The dispatches from London say that
many demands are being made upon Lord
Dunraven to make a manly apology. 1t
is not thought, however that he will do
so. He is not the sort of a man, 1t is
said, to rectify a wrong that he has done
And, strange as it may seem, some of the
English papers declare that the finding
of the committee is vindication of Lord
Dunraven. because 1t does not denounce
him as a cad.
1t is understood that the New York
Yacht Club will give him two weeks in
which to apologize, and that if he does
not do so within that time it will show
that it regards him as a cad by expelling
him. The club will leave it's mark on him
if he doesn't do the right thing.

in the cemetery would seem to be a max

But what has become of tho hundreds of
other young fellows who have gone to the

letter says nothing about them. Presum-
a5ly they are swinging picks in the

HOW COFFEE WAS DISCOVERED.

While almost everyone drinks coffee few
persons know how IL came to pass that the
world learned the virtue oi The fragrant
berry 1t Is told that about the middle OF
the fifteenth century poor Arab WAS
travelling through AbyssiLia, and, findlng
himself weak and weary from fatigue,
stopped near a grove. Being in want oI
iuel to cook his rice, he cut down small
tree that happened 10 be covered with
dead berries. His meal being cooked aud
eaten the traveller discovered that the
balf-burned berries were very fragrant. He
collected a number of these, and ON crush
them with u stone, he found that their
aroma was greatly increased.
Accidentally he let fall the substance in
u can which contained his scanty supply
OF water. The almost putrid water was
INSTANTLY purified. He brought it 10 his
lips. 1t was fresh, agreeable, and few
moments afterward the traveller had. 50
far recovered his strength as TO be able
to resume bis journey. The lucky Arab
gathered as many berries as be could, and,
having arrivedat Alden, in A rabia, informed
the niusti of his discovery. That worthy
official was an inveterate opium smoker
who had been suffering for years from
the influence OF the poisonous drug he
tried an infusion of the roasted berries
and was so delighted at the recovery OF
his own vigor that in gratitude 10 the tree
he called it cohuah, which in Arabia
