Probably no other high-class periodical
has a field more exclusively its own that
that occupied by Harper's Weekly, which
has maintained it's prestige during so
many years. The standard of it's edito-
rial page remains as high as it was placed
at the beginning, and its force has GER
tainly not diminished. Otherwise, it pre-
sents every week, a panorama of the
world. the work OF the best writer's and
the best artists. During the coming year
II Will have, in addition to it's regular
news features, three admirable serials by
Mary e. Wilkins, e. f. Benson and John
Kendrick Bangs. Western subjects Will
have especial attention, and two new fea-
lures will consist of paragraphs on for
elgn happenings and Of news and gossip
about music and the drama. Life and
Letters" by w ID. Howells will be IL
Illustrated, and This Busy World" by e.
s. Martin has been enlarged. A periodical
containing all this and much more and
appearing fifty-two times a year. would
naturally suggest itself as a most salts
factory gift during this holiday season.

MIR. WILLIAMS SILVER SERVICE
Presented to Him by r.. c. and T..
Railroad Employees.

Mr.. Henry A. Williams leaves to-day for
Durham. N. c., to take charge of the
Greensboro and Norfolk division OF the
Southern railway. one of the most impor-
tant divisions Of that system.
Mr. williams has been in Savannah a
little over two years as tralnmaster of the
Florida Central and Peninsular railroad
at this point having charge of the road
from Columbia to Jacksonville. In that
time he has made many friends here. The
deepest regrets and the warmest remem-
brances however, are on the part of the
employees of the Florida Central and Pc
ninsular railroad of this division, whose
hearts have been won by the uniform
courtesy, kindness and Justice OF Mr.. VIII
llams in dealing with them.
AS a testimony of their appreciation Of
his kindness, all the employees of the Flor
ida Central and Penlnsular railroad in the
city, who were at leisure, called on him
at his residence, at No. 70 Bolton street,
last night.
Mr.. Williams was presented handsome
silver service and a ring set with emer-
aids. The presentation was made by Mr..
L. w. Neeson of the Morning News. Mr..
Williams was so overcome with this testi-
mony of regard on the part Of his en-
DlOgeS lndN ne was uHdDlc 70 e&pICSS ulitl-
self for some moments He told them,
however, that he priced the evidence of
their esteem and regard more than he
could possibly state. The men above him
were nothing to him, he said, but he had
always looked out for his employees and
their interests. Every employe in the
room felt that this was true.
Some time was spent very pleasantly
at the Williams house. Mr.. A. T.. Way
made some pleasant remarks upon the
impression which Mr.. Williams hade made
upon the community as well as upon
his employees. Mr. A. D. Peck, who sue
ceeded Mr.. Williams in charge of the Sa-
vannah office, was introduced and said
that if at the end of two years he could
succeed in making as good an impression
as Mr.. Williams had done, he would feel
that his work here had been successful.
The party adjourned at O'Clock to the
residence of Mr.. j. H. Helmken on Lib
erty street, where Mr.. Williams was COM
plimented by supper by some of his
friends outside of railroad circles.
The affair was a very pleasant one and
many good wishes We're expressed for
Mr.. Williams success in his new field.

ida Central and Peninsular railroad, which
took charge of the presentation, consist
ed of J. H. Glass, II. w. North, L. S. Bes-

among them false swearing, discussing

spreading false reports, rejecting upon the

Dermott and by his instructions testified
to the fact before the coroners jury. He
failed to state this, however, until recall
ed a second time at the instance of Chief
McDermott.
Godbod explained by saying that he did
it out of sympathy for Kearney, whom he
feared would be discharged if it became
known that he had done the shooting, be-
lieving at the time that the shooting was
a matter of little Importance. He informed
Chief McDermott and Recorder Wilson,
however, when he found that the shooting
was serious matter, lnaC ne knew tuaI
Kearney did 1t and that he had evidence
of Importance to prove this, if Wyness
should die. After Wyness' death he told
Chief McDermott that he had furnished
the cartridge with which Kearney had re-
loaded his pistol.
