The Most DI.nnnointed ,Inn.

DO you think that many people really
object to sitting under the balcony" the
reporter asked, referring to the recently
published scheme Of a theater with no
seats in that distressing position, says the
New York Tribune.
Look inside the house there" the man
ager answered. It's fun of people that
are glad to get a chance to stand under
the balcony, to say nothing of sitting
down. 1t simply depends on your play. If
you have good play they viii crowd in
and sit anywhere and if you haven't a
good play they won't come at all.
They make a great fuss about the
seats where they want to sit. and the
most of them want to be next to the aisle.
IN the fourth row, but, IL they really want
TO see the play. they will sit anywhere.
wish we could build a theater with all the
seats on the aisle in the fourth row, but
we can't. and We have to do the best we
can. A man came in here the other day
and pointed to the aisle seats in the
fourth row, as usual, and said he must
have those two seats. The treasurer told
him they were taken He said he must
have them or something close to them,
and nothing else would do The treasure
told him he had none to sell close to
those. The man argued for a little while
and then said: What can you give me in
the orchestral?
g can't give you anything in the or
chestra,' the treasurer said.
What have you got upstairs, then"
said the man.
Nothing but the back row. said the
treasurer.
In the end he bought two seats in the
back row upstairs, after declaring that he
couldn't sit anywhere but in the fourth
row of the orchestra. Another man came
out the other night threw down two
coupons and said: See here; want those
seats changed; they are behind a post
Il happened to be standing behind the
treasurer, and 1 said: Give him back his
money; we have no other seats in the
house, but We can sell these over again
easily enough. But he wouldn't take his
money back. As soon as he found that
there was nothing else to be had he was
perfectly content.
But the most disappointed man ia the
world is the one who gets what he asks
for. If he asks for the fourth row and
you give it to him, he instantly finds that
he doesn't want it. If he finds that he
can get the seats that he wants, he is at
once convinced that there is some thing
wrong with the play, and he feels that he
has made a mistake, and wishes that he
had gone to some other theater." D

A few weeks ago we predicted that
there would be no great reform in the pres
eut penitentiary system-that the system
Of leasing the convicts would be contin-
ued. with perhaps some notifications,
which would tend TO lessen the abuses and
horrors Of the system. It looks very much
as if that prediction would prove 10 be true.
The penitentiary committee has practically
rejected the bin which is known as the
Han bill. and which had the approval Of
the governor and Principal Keeper Turner.
That bill was virtually adopted by the sub
penitentiary committee, and its friends had
some hope that it would be approved by
the full committee. They have been dis
appointed. The bill which the full COM
mittee has agreed to report to the legisla-
ture provides for leasing the convicts to
the highest bidder for term of five years
and for putting the incapabes, the women,
and the boys and girls on the land owned
by the state near Nilledgeville. where they
will be employed in raising grain and veg
etables for the different state institutions.
This legislature isn't going to worry it.

the coast, OF on a farm in the interior. We
have no doubt that it is the financial prob
lem connected with any serious effort 10
reform the present penitentiary system
which led the committee to reject the Hail.
Turner bill. The legislature Is going to
have some trouble in finding sufficient rev.
enue to meet the demands upon the state
without increasing the tax rate. An in
crease in the tax rate would be greeted
with protests, and, as a matter of fact the
tax rate does appear to be about as high
as it ought to be. A little more revenue
might be obtained by equalizing the as
assessments, but there is little hope of
Eeform of that kind as long as the repre-
sentadves from the rural districts are so
largely in the majority.
Sull, the people are against the leasing
system, and the legislature ought to pro-
vide a more satisfactory one The major
ity Of the people would rather stand lit
tie more taxation for a year or two than
have that system continued. It's abuses
and horrors have had damaging effect
upon the good name of the state, and have
made Christian people feel that in con-
senting to 1t they stood almost on plane
with those guilty of the abuses.

Why Decker chnnged His Nnme.

The story of dropping Charles DuvaP'
and substituting "Karl'' is told by Mr.
Decker himself and is rather amusing.
says the Washington correspondence of
the Philadelphia Press. When he was a
lad attending school in Georgetown he in
sisted on being addressed by his full name
Charles DuVal Decker and always wrote
his name in full. He had as a schoolmate
the son of a blacksmith named Shugrue
Young Shugrue was older than Decker
and at that time physically the latter's su-
perior. Both were somewhat aggressive
in their manner, and the result was q fight
between them one day
Young Shugrue got the better of Deck
err whom he had thrown on the ground
and was able to pound to his hearts con-
tent. For some reason he objected to
Decker wearing the name of Charles -Du-
val" and having the latter at a disadvan-
tage, determined to exercise his resent
ment upon Decker's body and face
He hammered Decker we'll and with each
blow he would exclaim: Charles Duval
Decker! Take that, Charles Duval Decker!
How do you like that, Charles Duval
Decker?' etc, until the fight ended.
Mr. Decker said he was thoroughly con-
WINGED that a change of name would be
advantageous, and after that he adopted
the German Karl
Mr. Shugrue was one of the citizens of
Washington to turn out to Mr.. Decker s
reception here last Saturday night and the
presence of no one was more appreciated
by Mr.. Decker. 1t might be said, in view
of the splendid physical development that
Mr.. Decker has reached since his school
boy days, that an encounter between these
old schoolmates might not result as it did
when Shugrue hammered the Charles
DuVaI' off Mr.. Decker'S name.

Too insignificant to Notice.

While walking the streets some years
since, says a writer in Current Literature.
my attention was attracted by loud
barking, and then by the sight of an inn
mense Newfoundland dog which had at
tackled a very large goat. The goat stood
strictly and warily on the defensive. ana
was evidently alarmed, though he bravely
Fept his ground until the dog, remem.
bering some other engagement, suddenly
departed.
Moo sooner had he started than a little
whiffet of a dog that had been watching
the scene with great interest from the
other side of the street dashed furiouslv
across and, to the fun extent of his abil-
ity, emulated the example of the New
foundland. The goat surveyed him for
an instant, then deliberately turning his
back, vigorously butted an adjacent avn.
ing pole with an expression of great dis
gust. l did not hear what Mark Twain
calls biblical language" but no doubt
the valiant warrior would have used IT
had he been capable.

An Incident In n Great city.

Out of a hole in the clouds a sunbeam
shot through window in the tenement
and made little Edna TWINS yellow head
yellower, says the New York Press of Oct
"A. She grasped at the golden shaft but
it danced away from her. Being only 2
years Old, she thought this was great fun,
and followed the sunbeam.
The path led to the window of her home,
in East One Hundred and Sixteenth street.
The sill was high, but the sunbeam SEEM
ed to say, come on! come ont" and Edna
climbed on a chair, answering, as well as
she could I'm coming. :"
the sunbeam laughed roguishly and
slipped from her fingers just when she
grew more determined than ever. She
reached out for that sunbeam-'way, way
out.
Then
Some little girls are luckier than they
know. Down in the street two railway
laborers had seen Edna striving for the
sunbeam high above, and they had clasp
ed hands in the old schoolboy basket
fashion just in time.
Edna lost sight of the sunbeam tempo
raTily as she turned head over heels and
heels over head, somersaulting downward
just a tiny whirl of white skirt and gold
hair.
Plump! she went into that human catch
all. She didn't even thank her savsors
the Hardter brothers. She grabbed at the
last shred of the sunbeam and missed it
for cloud cut across the sky. Then for
the first time she cried

The Art Students League.

The interest in the Art Students League
in this city is growing. There are many
reasons why it should grow, and why our
people should extend to 1t a helping hand.
1t is an institution which promises to do
a great deal of good and to bring the city
into notice as a center for the education
of art students. It is not the purpose to
confine the benefits of the school to resi-
dents of this city. The expectation is
that students will be drawn to the school
from all parts of this state and the ad-
joining states. The aim is to make the
school such an excellent one that its fame
will reach far beyond the borders of the
state
The advantages here for an art school
are very great. There is no such collec-
ton of works of art south of Baltimore as
that in the Telfair Academy. The gentle
man who will have charge of the school
is an enthusiast in his profession and has
the highest recommendations. We cannot
see, therefore, what is to hinder the sue
cess of the school or prevent it from
becoming the great school of it's kind in
the south.
In this city there is much art talent
among the young women and young men.
1t ought to have a chance for develop
ment, and will have If the Art Students
League becomes a permanent institution.
Our people ought to help to make 1t per-
manent. A good many of those who would
become students are not financially able
to do so. If the assistance which the pro-
moters of the school hope for, however, is
forthcoming, the doors of the school will
be closed to no one, and the school will
become an institution of which every Sa-
MAMMALIAN will be proud.
That there is a good deal of art talent
here in Savannah Is very well known. Two
Savannah ladies are making good incomes
in Paris by the sale of their art work,
and young Savannah man is acquiring
quite reputation there as an artist. In
this city several ladies are earning a living
with pencil and brush. If our people will
come to the assistance of this Art Stu
dents League as literally as they should
we shall have a large, fourishing and
firmly established art school within a very
| short time.

ing expeditions to leave this country for
Cuba Suppose we were to file cross
bill, and hold her to account for the dam
age she has inflicted upon us by permitting
yellow fever TO enter our territory from
Cuba? 1t is declared by experts that Ha-
vana, if not indeed the whole island Of
Cuba, could be freed from the fever by
the adoption of proper sanitary precau-
tons and the enforcement of simple hygi-
enic laws. Yet Spain has allowed yellow
fever 20 become as permanent in Havana

Nothing that Mr.. George says In his
campaign speeches in the mayoralty con-
test in Greater New York, attracts so
much attention as his abuse of Mr. Crolz-
er. A day or two ago MIR. Croker. in an
interview said he thought Mr.. George
was not making any votes by the course
he was pursuing. There are reasons for
thinking Mr.. Croker is right.
We don't know whether Mr.. Croker OBJ
tanned his wealth by corrupt methods or
not; neither does Mr.. George, and he
doesn't pretend to know. What right,
then has he to insinuate that Mr.. Croker
is bad man and should be in the peni-
tentiary? If he knows of any offense
against the law committed by Mr. Crok-
er he should name it. He has named no
offense, but in every one of his speeches
he announces that the penitentiary yawns
for Mr.. Croker, and that if he becomes
mayor he will do his best to have him
punished for robbing the people, if guilty
Of any crime.
The people will be apt to think that Mr.
George is an unsafe man to entrust with
power. While 1t is true that some of the
yellow kid" journals have asked Mr..
Croker where he got his wealth, Mr.
George is the only prominent man of char
acter who has publicly intimated that Mr..
Croker obtained his wealth. by dishonest
means. If it be true that Mr.. Croker OBJ
tanned his money legitmately, and he de-
fies anybody to show he got it otherwise,
MIR. George is the worst sort of a slanderer.
because he hopes by his attacks on Mr..
Croker to increase his chances for being
elected mayor.

DR.. Drummer has just reported to Wash
ngton upon a visit recently paid to one Of
the pest spots of Havana, called Los
Fosos, where refugees TO the city are
crowded and are dying from starvation
and diseases caused by filth and lack of
proper food. In one place he found $50
children, all of whom he concluded would
be dead in thirty days or less. Two-ffths
of the sickness in Havana. the doctor
says, is attributable to lack of proper food
and to filth. The hospitals are overcrowd-
ed, and the sick are being turned away to
die in the streets or in novels. If Ha
vana were in a state of actual siege the
conditions could not be much worse.

1t seems likely that the great fortune of
the late Mr.. Pullman will be a bone of
contention for heirs and lawyers to fight
over. The dead millionaire left two sons,
who have led pretty wild lives. These
sons have not been left anything direct.
although incomes are provided for them
in the will, and they are put upon pro-
baton, to a certain extent The bulk of
the property goes to the widow. There is
story afioat to the effect that the sons
are not satisfied, and will endeavor to
have the courts interfere in their behalf
That estate would furnish rich pickings
for the lawyers. Once it got into the
courts, it would probably not get out again
soon.

One of chonte,s auestlons.

Once, when Joseph II. Choate had On
the rack a well-known manipulation of
bankrupt railway properties, says the
Philadelphia Inquirer, he suddenly asked:
"Were you interested in the trial of DR..
Briggs for heresy?"
mol" was the answer. Choate passed
to others subjects; but the witness, as he
left the stand, paused at Choate's seat,
and remarked in an indignant tone: Il
fail to see, Mr.. Choate, the purpose OF
your question about the Briggs trial"
oh" answered Choate, carelessly, but
loud enough for the jury to hear, Il
thought perhaps you were trying to break
up the Pres byterian church, so as to get
a chance TO reorganize it."

War ScaFes Made to Order.
From the baltimore Sun Dem.l.

Wall street operators yesterday used
the Cuban war talk to force prices down,
making big money by the scare. Stocks
fell from 1 to 5 points. So profitable are
these scares that the warlike news is of
ten manufactured to order. Whether the
new stories from Madrid are like some
former ones or are really true il is hard
to tell. The point of them is merely that
the Sagasta ministry replies very firmly to
the alleged suggestions of our minister
Any good broker could get up a telegram
to that effect and have II sent from Mad
rid at cost far less than the profit he
could make out of II in Wall street. Apart
from all this, IL is unfortunate for steady
business men to have an obscure prospect
Of war with Spain or some other power
always kept before them by our politi-
clans. The country would be grateful IL
the President stopped this war business
by a clear declaration.

A strip of asphalt extending from Bay
street up Whitaker to New Houston, east
on that street to Drayton, and north on
Drayton TO Bay, would be an improve
ment that would be appreciated by every
person who owns bicycle. a buggy or a
carriage II would greatly increase the
value of the property on the line improv-
cd and would give the city decidedly
metropolitan appearance. Whitaker street
IS too narrow for both street cars and
private vehicles, even with only one line
o1 track running through it, and where
there are switches, scarcely room Is left
between the tracks and the curb for a
buggy to pass. The probabilities are.
however, that the railway company would
not give up Whitaker street without con-
test.
