Boston and Savannah to Play Their
Third Game To-day.
Savannah and Boston will play the
third game of the series at c. L. A. park

victorious in the second. Both games

The colts are encouraged from their
victory of Tuesday and say they will give
the big fellows another drubbing. Charlie
Camel has been coaching the local boys
and Nichols and Stivetts say its going to
be cake walk for Savannah.
1t is amusing to see how much spirit the
players put into these games. One would
think that the National league pennant
or the Temple cup was up, so hard do
they play and such kicks as are put up on
the slightest ground.
Lewis and Sullivan will do the box hon
ors for Boston and jolly Mart Bergen
will take care of the backstop. Nichols
and Klobedanz will each pitch three in
nngs and Hopkins will probably put in
the last three for Savannah The only
Camel will be behind the bat. Stivetts
will show Tucker how to play first, Har-
Bob Brady viii run all around short stop,
and Stahl. Murray and Reaves viii play
the outfield.
The game will be called at o'clock and
Mr.. Charles OByrne will umpire

Jim Connolly of Savannah and Boston
will give an exhibition of jumping at Sat
urday's game. Connolly won the hop,
step and jump at the Olmypian games in
can to win a prize. He was overwhelmed
with King George, who is now having
troubles of his own. The famous rabbit
foot given by MIR. Connolly to King
Georges marshal win be borne in battle
as talisman of good luck should Greece
go to war with Turkey.
Light showers prevented the team from

all the men were out in the afternoon.
The team will remain here until Sun

but few roads have tselr engines equip
ped with them. The Georgia Southern
and Florida uses the light and finds ii
very effective. The glow cast by the
light is far-reaching and nearly as strong
as that of an electric search-light aboard
an ocean steamer The light is cast far
ahead of the engine and the objects along
the track are brought into distinct relief
by the white light This engine will run
between Savannah and Columbia.
Mr. f. W. storer the Plant SYSTEMS

The Florida Central and Peninsular ran
some long freight trains out of Savannah
for Jacksonville yesterday. The accumu-
lation Of freight while the Altamaha
bridge was impossible required many cars
to move it southwark
Mr.. w. Z. Darrow, car accountant, and
Mr.. w. j. Haylow, superintendent Of
transportation of the Plant system, left
last night for Wilmington.
Mr.. George H. Wright, assistant ticket
agent for the Central at Atlanta, came
down yesterday, suffering from sprained
ankle Mr.. Wright will be with his uncle,
Mr. Wade, until his hurt mends He is
sympathize with him in his accident. His
ankle was sprained by fall on fight
| of stairs.
Nothing more was heard yesterday at
the Central railroad ticket Office from
Sergt CHM, the colored ordnance ser
| geant who wanted to go to Atlanta and
presented a requisition from the military
! authorities at Fort MCPHERSON for a berth
| in a Pullman car. The sergeant was turn
ed down by City Passenger and Ticket
Agent Brewer, who told him that coored
| people were not allowed to ride i'm the same
car with whites, and no sleeper is used
| exclusively for his race as the business
would not justify it. Sergt. Chinn thought
he was being imposed upon in not being
allowed the privileges to which his war
rant for transportation entitled him. The
Central's officials are not at all alarmed
over the matter, as the sleepers on its line
are not Pullman but are owned and oper
ated by the Central railroad. The matter
was discussed at length yesterday, and
many different opinions were expressed.
Mr.. Brewer says the sergeant could not
| have been very anxious to ride in a sleep
er anyway, as he wanted to sign the RED
uisition, indicating that it had been hon
oTed, and in return to receive % from the
! railroad. That is the amount charged for
a berth.

AN Ex-QuEEN MAKES A CALL.

Ex.Queen Liliuokalani. Of tho Hawaiian
Islands. made q call on her "great and good
friend" President Cleveland, ON Monday. The
interview was brought about by an autograph
note from the ex- Queen TO the President ask ing
him to give her opportunity to personally
express her deep gratitude and high sense of
appreciation of his efforts to fright the great
wrong" involved in tho overthrow of the
Hawaiian Monarchy and the establishment of
the Dole Republic.
The delivery Of this communication was
committed to the charge of Mr. Palmer, of
Boston, who is acting in the capacity OF her
chamberlain, and Mr.. Helelulie, of Hawaii, her
native Private Secretary. They called ut the
White House, saw the Presidents mighty man
Of affairs Thurbes, and received an assurance
that the President would be pleased to receive
the former Queen Of Hawaii in an unofficial
and informal manner"
Mrs. Lydia Dominis and her small party,
including Miss Naba0lelens, of Hawaii, her
travelling companion, drove up to the front door
Of the White House shortly before the hour III.
dicated, and were at once ushered into tho red
room, an apartment usually reserved hy Mrs.
Cleveland for social calls, where they were
shortly Joined by President Cleveland. The
interview was strictly private, and it is imposs.
bic to say what messages, if any, we're ex-
changed between the President and the de-.
throned monarch. for whom he tried to do so
much with such signal failure. 1t is understood
that Mrs. Dominis asked particularly the favor
of seeing Mrs. Cleveland, and that she was
gratifed in that respect.

there's some wisdom in his remarks: "There
are better ways Of using money than in
erecting statues Ii auy thing is to be done,
why could not money be raised to found
Harriet Becchcr Stowe scholarship at Hamp-
ton, Fiske, or Tuskegee? Such q memorial
would, l know. be quite in keeping with my
mothers taste. and far more useful to man aud
honoring to God than some brazen monstrosi,y
scowling the unfortunate beholder out of
countenance from its ugly granite pedestal.
The ordinary bronze statue ought to be re-
garded as q terrible penalty to be inflicted only
on great offenders"

DEAR OLD Friend NATIONAL TRIBUNE:
/ cannot do without you and Gen. Sherman's
Memo rs-gIand Old man and General.
had Just joined my regiment the same night
Sherman crossed the Tennessee at the mouth
OF Chickamauga Creek, and the next day /
stood near Gen. Grant. on Orchard Knob,
with all the gloom of Libby Prison in my
heart and mind, while brave Gen. Billy
Sherman ordered that charge over the tunnel
OF Mission Ridge, and even yet can almost
see our brave soldiers directly under the
muzzles of the rebel guns as they seemed to
he, rise up and fall back down the Ridge.
Sherman drew the rebels in that direction.
Grant was whiting a cedar twig, when one
of the staff officers said: "My CD, General,
see yonder! Thomas's men are going mp
the Ridge" The STRENGTHENING Grants
answer was: Let them go! Let them goi :"
And 20 they did. Your Memoirs renew these
scenes like q vision. Next morning I re-
ported to my regiment 1.-THE 25th Ill., for
duty again, having been captured at Craw-
fish Springs, Sept. 20. As Chaplain of my
regiment, almost fear to say / was always
with the boys, and under fire in all their
engagements, battles, and skirmishes, etc.
preached to them, looked after their mail,
saw the sick in hospital, and tried TO do my
whole duty, refusing every detail that would
take me from my regiment. My last duty
as Chaplain in Libby Prison was to preach
from the text, Isaiah, 9Th chapter 18th verse.
Read it.: Say We not n confederacy to all
them to whom this people say confederacy,
neither fear ye their fear nor be afraid.n

Acting Secretary McAdoo has written letter
to the Clerk of the House Of Representatives
in response to a resolution adopted the 14th

the sum Of $4,000 will be required to put the
Constitution i'm proper seawerthy condition to DO

Portsmouth, N. H., to Washington, D. C. The
Bureau of Equipment he says. estimates that
the amount necessary under that Bureau to MT

calls attention to the fact that there is an avail.
able balance of $7,959.36, as reported by the
Bureau of Supplies and Accounts, under appro.
pration for repairs to the U. S. S. Constitu.
tion."
Surg Gen. James r. Tryon, Of the Navy,
who is Medical Inspector in grade, will DO

grade in the Department in consequence Of
the retirement of Medical Director II. NJ. Wells
on account of age. DR.. Wells is stationed at
New York City.
Work on coast defenses is progressing rap
idly under contracts which have been made
during the last three months by the War De-
partment. There is available for such projects
fund of So 500. 600, and it is being distributed
along the Atlantic Coast at points for en-
placements for which plans were made dur

The intellectual Bay State sends some queer
requests to its Congressman. One constituent
has written for "a good healthy male baby !"
that be could adopt. Another wants his Con-
gresham to send him a complete list of the
Sovereigns of England. Mr. McCall's constitu.
ents applied in great numbers for the tariff
hearings.

Even Congressman will turn at last. Pri-
vate Secretary Thurber, who shares his august
masters belief that he is the only true, origi.
nal Jacobs patriot in the country, and must
constantly stand on guard between it and its
enemies. has been snubbing Representatives
and Senators for four years. Now they are all
mad at him, and they thirst for his blood. If
some one could contrive bill to send Thurber
to work on the Notifications at the Dry Tor
tugas it would get unanimous support in both
Houses.
Washington came near landing as an art
prize last week the famous picture of "Wash.
ington Crossing the Delaware" BY Emanuel

coran Gallery, went over to New York and tried
to put in a winning bid at the auction of
Marshall o. Roberts's collection. Tho picture
