rntcrtainment ON Board the Uru-
yuayian Bark Francisco NadaI.
The Schooner Alfred BrabrOOk in
port Leaking-Vessels Bound for
savannah.
The FRANCESCA Nadal is the first vessel
from Uruguay that ever entered Savan-
nah. and Savannah has missed it hereto
fore if all other Uruguayian ships are in
tbe same category.
The Nadal is clean, staunch and without
bjemish. and In this respect she resembles
the officers and crew who make up her
company.
Yesterday afternoon Capt. Font found
himself acting as host for a dinner party,
numbering in all thirteen, but just here
the proverbial superstition of the sailor
failed to assert itself The captain refused
to allow a single man 10 leave his seat.
The dinner was all that 1t should be, and
was rendered still more enjoyable through
the fact that one-half of the company
could not understand Spanish and the
other half could not grasp the intricacies
of English, that is, barring the interpret
ers on each side.
The guest of honor was Senior Rafael L.
de Lago. the Spanish consul in this city.
and his remarks were very heartily APP
plauded when he made them in Spanish,
and likewise when they were reduced to
English, the latter operation being kindly
performed by himself.
The Americans of the party took few
lessons in drinking wine from a mon

been generally introduced in this country
but which will become popular on account
of its novelty.
In the cabin of the Nadal hangs a we'll
executed sketch graphically portraying the
sinking of German bark June f. 1894, at
which time a crew from the former vessel
at the risk of their lives, manned a boat
and saved every man on board the bark
For this service of signal bravery Capt
Font now holds a gold medal presented
TO him by the Emperor of Germany
The Nadal came into port in ballast and
will clear for MonteVideo with a cargo of
naval stores.
The schooner Alfred Brabrook, at this
port encountered stormy weather last
Tuesday, and on Thursday, while on the
edge of the Gulf stream, began to leak.
She was leaking so badly yesterday that
two extra men were employed to help
the crew to keep at the pumps TO keep
her dry The vessel Is owned by j. o.
Emery and others of Taunton, Mass.

WhEELMEN AND ROADS.

They Aim TO Inaugurate the State Aid
system For Road Improvement.
The greatest fault with our old sys-
TEN Of rcadbuilding lies in the fact
that it throws the whole responsibility
of building and maintaining country
roads as we'll as their entire cost upon
the farmers. This is wrong, and it is
this wrong which the League of Ameri-
can Wheelmen is endeayoring to cor
rect by advocating the introduction OF
the state aid system throughout the
United States 1t has frequently been
charged that we expect farmers to build
roads for bicycle riders and to pay for
them out Of their own pockets No bet
ter reply can be made 20 this charge
than to point cut the fact that the
efforts Of the League Of American
Wheelmen for good reads have been
mainly directed toward the introduction
of such state aid system
The city receives direct and indirect
benefits from good roads, and, being
thus interested in them, should contrib
ute to the expense Of their construction.
This is simply ON the broad principle
that ell who profit from an improve
ment should help to bring it about. In
most Of the states the greater part Ct
the wealth Is controlled in the cities,
and it is fair and right that all this
property should contribute equitably to
the cost of roadbuilding = merchants
manufacturers aud capitalists, tks
wealthy corporations, insurance, tcle.
phone and railroad companies, in fact
every class Of people should contribute
toward the expense of building gnod
