The London Society of Church Beg
gsrs, which has been organized at the
instance of Lady Gwendolin Cecil, daugh-
ter of Lord Salisbury, proposes to re-
duce the number OF charity oazaars and
entertainments, and 70 raise the money
required for deserving charities by writ
ing personal letters o. appeal. One of
Lady Gwendohns objections TO bazaars
is that nearly half their receipts goes
for expenses.

He was a very shy young man. says the
Cleveland Plain Dealer. In addition to
this. he was a very nice man and good
looking, and with an excellent business.
For some time he had been paying atteu-
tons to a charming young woman of the
South Side. He called with reasonab BILE
regularity, and once in awhile took her 20
the theater and bought her flowers But
there wasn't that spontaneous fervor
about his attention which Minnie-Minnie
viii door any other girl likes when She
also likes the man. He didn't say much,
either but would just sit around and look
things at her that he hadn't the courage
to utter, and being a decidedly nice girl
herself, Minnie couldn't help him along.
Well, he was still lacking about in the
ofhng, when one evening something was
said about parade which was to take
place on the downtown streets the next
day With spasm of inspiration, he sug
sested that Minnie and her mother should
come to his office and view the pageant
from his Office windows. Minnies mother
was pleased to accept the invitation. and
quite overcome by his own temerity and
its happy fruitiiOn, the shy young man
went home earlier than usual.
When the ladies reached the Office next
day, they found its occupant at his desk.
He didn't hear them enter-the door was
open-and he was scribbling away at a
lively rate. As Minnie's mother greeted
him he whirled about in a hurry, STAN
mered welcome, and then hurriedly run,
ming blotter over what he had written,
seized the sheet and crumpled it i'm his
hand Minnie thought all this very queer,
but, of course, she had no idea what it
meant.
1t wasn't quite time for the parade, SO
the ladies' sat down, Minnie taking the
swivel chair at the desk, and swinging
about in a girlish way that seemed quite
fascinating to the shy youth. Presently
she caught sight of the blotting-pad, and
noticed that il had taken up a fresh sen.

young man had shown so much confusion.
Moreover, the same sentence-a short one

ner, and then an idea struck her. She had
been reading Les Miserables," and re-
membered the Thenardier episode. Pres
emily she arose from the chair and stolled
across the room to where a small mirror
was hanging against the wall. With the
pretense of Strengthening her hat, she
slyly held the blotter before the glass
This is what she read, repeated five times
Minnie, I love you.''
The poor young man had evidently been
trying hard to get his lesson.
Minnie smiled. and, watching her op>
portunity, rolled up the blotter and took
it home with her.

We had thought that our Brunswick
contemporary, The Times, had arrived at
that period in the life of a suburban
newspaper when it could state facts cor
rectly. It appears that we were mistaken,
as witness this extract from its columns:
The Mckinley type of prosperity" has
arrived at Savannah. The Ocean Steam
ship Company's steamers from that port
to Boston and Philadelphia are to be
taken off the line, leaving Savannah with
out regular ocean communication, except
with New York. The withdrawal of these
steamers will mean a considerable reduc-
ton in shipping and will be felt keenly
in its effect upon labor circles.
This particular type of prosperity has
not attacked Brunswick yet Our ship
ping business has been increasing steadily
for three years, and our regular steam-
ship line is about to find it necessary to
put on another ship in order to meet the
demands of it's patronage.
The facts of the case-and they have
not been otherwise stated, except in the
paragraphs above-are that the changes in
the Ocean Steamship Company's lines are
in the way of affording increased facilities
for shippers. When the changes go into
effect there will be an almost daily line
Of steamships between this city and New
York. The Boston line will be operated
from Boston to New York in connection
with the Savannah line of steamers, and
Philadelphia freights will be forwarded
by way Of New York. The changes are
not made in view of a curtailment of the
amount of business with Boston and
Philadelphia, but to provide for an in
creased and increasing amount of business
with New York.
If the Brunswick Times could see what
is going on at the Ocean Steamship and
Central railroad wharves in Savannah, it
would probably be able to realize that
there has been. and is. no falling off
in the amount OF business handled. on
the contrary, on the eastern end of the
property 200 men are engaged in building
additional wharf room, and on the west
ern end two dredges and a large force OF
workmen are cutting out a slip for the
accommodations of vessels in the naval
stores and lumber trade. In addition to
the New York line. Savannah has the fin.
est line of steamers plying out of the
port of Baltimore, each ship heavily laden
with freights.
There is a plenty OF room for Bruins
wick, and no people are more sensible
OF the fact than the savaunahians, some
of whom have put their money into
| Brunswick banks and other enterprises.
It is fact however, that some Of the
! savannah investors in Brunswick are
| rather sorry of their investments: but that
cannot be helped now. our Brunswick
contemporary should send some member
of les stan to Savannah to see what is
going on here, before It becomes too criti-

Now For n Cuban Policy.

It is announced that Gen. Woodford
was chosen TO he minister to Spain by
the President because he was in sym
pathy with the administrations Cuban
policy" Just what that policy is no.
body seems 10 know. It is reported that a
note was sent 70 Spain a week or so ago.
in which it was minated that this gov
eminent was rather tired of the contin-
uance of Weylers policy of oppression
and slaughter in Cuba, and that il
might take steps TO bring matters TO a To-
Gus before a great while. But that was
one or two weeks ago. There is no
telling precisely where the administration
stands now. Four months ago Maj. Nc
Kinley, in his inaugural address. said:
we must avoid the temptation Of terri
torial aggression" Now. however, he is
so much in favor Of territorial aggression
that he has sent to the Senate a treaty
proposing the annexation of an island
government more than 1000 miles away
from US, which was captured by flibus-
ters a little more than four years ago.
If ne is able to change his mind with
regard to Hawaii with so little effort,
what reason is there TO think he would
not change his mind with regard to Cuba
quite as quickly?
The chances are, however. that
change in his opinions with regard to
Cuba would be in the direction of an
nexing that territory also. The influences
in favor Of doing something for Cuba"
are to a considerable degree similar to
those in favor of Hawaiian annexation.
Certain American capitalists and adven-
turers from New England are Interested
in the sugar business In Hawaii, and de-
sire the aid of the United States govern
ment. Certain capitalists of New Eng
land. Pennsylvania and other northern
states own coal and iron mines in Cuba,
and likewise desire the intervent ton of
the United States. In the interests OF
these sugar capitalists on the one hand.
and the coal and iron capitalists on the
other hand, the administration is appar-
emily willing to ride rough shod over the
better sentiment of our own country, and
the principles of right and justice as
they affect other peoples. In order to
cater to the classes which contribute
largely to republican campaign funds,
there is a disposition to push the coun-
try to the verge Of war with foreign pow
ers. which are at present friendly, and are
disposed to continue 20 be so.

The dew was on the summer lawn.
The roses bloomed, the woods were
green,
When forth there came. as fresh as dawn,
A Maiden with majestic mien.
They grit a crown about her brow,
They placed a scepter in her hand,
And loud rang out Nations vow.
God guard the Lady of the Landr'
And now the cuckoo calls once more,
And once again June's roses blow,
And round her Throne her people pour
Recalling sixty years ago;
And all the goodly days between,
Glory and sorrow, love and pain,
The wifely Mother widowed Queen.
The loftiest as the longest Reign.
She shared her subjects bane and bliss,
Welcomed the wise, the base withstood,
And taught by her clear life Il Is
The greatest greatness to be good.
Yet while for Peace she wrought and
prayed.
She bore the trident. wore the helm.
And. Mistress OF the Main, she made
An Empire of her Island Realm.
SO. gathering now. from near, from far.
From Rule whereon ne'er sets the day.
From Southern Cross and Northern Star.
Her people mt their hearts, and pray:
Longer and longer may she reign
And. through a Summer night serene
Whence day doth never wholly wane,
God spare and bless our Empress-Q ueenl

There is more tea afoat on the Pacific
ocean bound to America than has before
been known at any one time. The cargoos
now on the way amount to 1900. COO
pounds, and all available shipping space
has been engaged for some time ahead In
order TO get the tea here before the passage
OF the tariff bill. The importers have been
frightened into this step no doubt by the
talk OF the 10 cents a pound tax. but weak
kneed senators are now talking Of aband-
oning the tax on tea altogether so It may
be the importers will have had their
troubles for nothing.

The territory of Oklahoma has thrown
bomb into tho camps of the Cheyenne and
Arapahoe Indians, who have from two to
five wives, in the shape of a law which
goes into effect July 1 prohibiting more
than one wife. and requiring the poly
gamous Indians to choose one and send
the others back to their relatives. Now
all the wives who want to remain with
their husbands are doing their best to
please them. and 1t is safe to say no mar
ried man was ever better taken care of
than those Indians will be for the next
two weeks.

why We Don't want Hawaii.
From the Atlanta Journal (Dem).

We do not need Hawaii for any pur-
pose whatsoever and yet the Senate Is
asked to annex II over the protest of n
friendly power. which has just as much
right 70 take " as we have to assume
the Hawaiian debt; 20 undertake the re-
sponsibillty OF maintaining q government
in those FAR away islands; OF defending
them against internal revolution and for
cign attack. We have an the territory We
need We will do well 20 give that proper
protection and good government Certain
IS we do not desire 10 inaugurate colo
nixaton policy. The Hawaiian scheme o.
a wild and mischievous piece OF business
and the Senate can do the country good
service by defeating A. Senator Bacon ls
