FINANCIAL.
The Market is Still Buoy
ant and BulliSh.
Speculative Spirit Continues
to Increase.
Public Never More Generally In
Mark ct Than at Present.

People who were Of the opinion that the ex-
tent OF the speculative fever in Wall street had
been over-estimated and that the market was
preparing for a reaction were treated to a
sorry surprise this morning. AT no time since
the bult market opened have stocks displayei
as much buoyancy as they showed today. The
advance was led by Manhattan, which after
opening at i02lE, gain Of 3,4 per cent upon
last nights closing, continued TO climb until
IL touched l0S. of course, there was certain
amount OF profit taking at this figure, but the
decline was stopped around l05, and the
friends of the company are confident that lOS
is none too high for it.
The speculative spirit Is increasing daily,
and this Is even shown outside Of the stock
market. In mining circles there is consider
able talk of better times in view, and there is
every indication that q big boom is in pros
pect. People who, a year or two ago, could
not be compelled TO look at IA share of mining
stock are looking for bargains In this line
now and the market displays more activity
than 1t has shown in years. phis is but
natural, in view OF the discovery of the wealth
of the Klondike.
Everywhere people are disposed TO buy
stocks ana at no time has the public been
more generally in the market than at present.
Generally this would be a bad thing. but the
situation is not an ordinary one, and this
market cannot be gauged by tho conditions
that have prevailed during the past four
years. The market Is advancing and II il
broadening and il is impossible 10 predict
how far this movement will go before il calls
u halt for there is nothing in sight 20 create
the slightest apprehension Of any serious set
back.
OF course, Manhattan somewhat overshad-
owed the rest of the market today, but Lon
don showed an improvement and the market
on this side responded to the better feeling
and opened materially higher, afterward keep
ing its strength well. The Leather people

REV. John W. Burke.

Our telegraphic dispatches this morning
announce the death at Macon of that
Christian and public spirited gentleman,
the Rev. John w. Burke.
Mr.. Burke was what few have succeeded
in being. though many have tried,
an active preacher Of the Word
and an energetic and enterprisiug business
man. He was a printer by trade and was
always proud of it, After he became a
journeyman ne entered the ministry of the
Methodist church. His first labors were
in Northern Georgia, then a far off coun-
try full of rough people. There he and
his wife struggled through the many
troubles which beset all poor young cler-
gymen His fortunes, however, slowly but
surely improved, and in 1861 Mr. Burke
established the publishing house of j. W.
Burke & Co.. In Macon which was des-
tined to be for many years the leading
publishing and printing house in the south.
The Southern Christian Advocate was is
sued from that establishment and under
the editorship and management of Mr..
Burke became one of the leading religious
journals Of the land. Business troubles
came upon the printing house few years
ago, and Mr.. Burke saw the establishment
which he had spent life time in build
ing up pass out of his hands That mis-
fortune, and increasing years, doubtless
effected his health, and eventually caused
his death. No one who knew Mr.. Burke
could but love him. Though every thought
and act was thai of an exemplar of Chris
tianity, there was no austerity in his char
acter. His was too big heart to see
aught but goodness in all of Gods crea-
lures, and beauty in all of His creations.

Not nPersonnI Matter.

The few advocates of the drainage of
Buckhalter swamp, to the neglect OF that
nearer the city, still persist in assuming
that the opposition to the plans of the
board of county commissioners is due to
personal reasons, and that the drainage
of the area contiguous to the city is in
good condition. In this matter the Morn
ing News has no interest to serve save the
interest of the public. No possible pri-
vate benefit can come to it or its proprle-
tor from it's efforts to direct attention to
the unsanitary condition of certain parts
of the county contiguous to the city, and
to the wasting of public funds in other
parts of the county. All that the Morn
ing News can possibly get out of the
controversy is the consciousness of having
performed it's duty to the people and
city of Savannah.
As a matter of fact. if the private in
terests of the proprietor of the Morning
News were consulted and such interests
governed the papers policy on public
questions. it would be advocating the
building of the new road to Thunderbolt
which is proposed to be an extension of
Estil avenue and the drainage of Buck
halter swamp, in which neighborhood
the proprietor of the Morning News owns
lands and the improvement of the Mont
gomery cross road. which would give him
an improved highway to his summer
place on the salts. This statement is not
made TO parade the disinterestedness of
the Morning News, but to disprove the
very industriously circulated reports to
the effect that self interest and pique are
the mainsprings of the movement against
the policy Of the board of commissioners.
The whole case, as has been stated be
fore, is simply this: Should the coun-
tvs chain-gang and money he used in
draining the southwestern corner of the
Sixth militia district, in the whole of
which district the number OF voters is I'M
der 100, meantime leaving the territory
around the city undrained or without
proper drainage? Should the county's
chain-gang and money be used TO build
new roads when the old toll roads. cover
ing practically the same territory, can he
purchased for less than the new roads
would cost? These are the points at is
sue. In considering the first, II should
be borne in mind that, according 10 Com
missioner Kehoe, the work in Buckhalter
is being pushed without so much as ac-
cepted plans ana estimates. and without
any well defined idea as to what the ultl-
mate cost to the people will be.

The Russian Prince.

At one of the Duke of Hamilton's din
ners there was a. Russian prince, whose
name I forget, and who sat on the right
hand of the duchess, says a writer in the
Cornhin Magazine At the close of the
first course a servant brought round
plate, on which were a dozen little square
pieces of toast with a delicate morsel,
apparently of meat, upon each, which he
ELECTED from the duchess to consist from
the inside of a woodcock, and considered
a great delicacy. Unconscious that the
plate was to go round, he took it from
the hands of the servant placed it be-
fore him, and deliberately ate up the
whole of it, saying that he found 1t ex-
cellent; but he ascertained that the deli
cate meat upon the toast was not termed
in polite circles the stomach" but was
called the trail"
Whether that particular dish or any
other disagreed with his digestion. l know
not; but it happened that the same night
a little before midnight, the duke heard
the footsteps of his guest walking up and
down in the passage adjoining the rooms
in which they both slept. The duke lit a
candle, opened the. door, and went up to
his guest and inquired whether he was
suffering any pain, and the latter replied
Yes l have got a very bad pain in my

An amusing story is told about a pro-
fessor, says the New York Journal. The
learned gentleman has a wife and fam
lily, but, professor-like, his thoughts are
always with his books.
One evening his wife, who had been out
for some hours, returned to find the house
remarkably quiet. She had left the chill
dren playing about. but now they were
nowhere to be seen.
She demanded to be told what had be-
come of them, and the professor explain
ed that they had made a good deal of
noise he had put them to bed without
waiting for her or calling a maid.
Il hope they gave you no trouble" she
said.
No" replied the professor. with the
exception of the one in the cot here. He
objected a good deal to my undressing
him and putting him to bed

Mrs. sherman and the Twins.

An old acquaintance of John Sherman
sends the following to the Chicago Inter
Ocean:
As most of US know, Mr.. and Mrs.
Sherman were childless. A time came
when, after much consideration and
thought. they decided to adopt a child
and heir Mrs. Sherman requested some
Of her intimate friends to assist in the
search of a desirable infant, one hon
estly and gently born, and without par
ents to follow on afterward and embar
rass. A friend in New York subsequently
telegraphed her to come at once and take
her choice of two beautiful babies. There
was great excitement in the Sherman
home pending Mrs. Sherman's trip to
New York after the baby. On the next
day she telegraphed her husband: "Will
be home this afternoon. Send carriage
to the depot" The carriage went, and
the senator remained at home, walking
the floor, looking at his watch, watching
each carriage as IL came in sight. The
train was a little late. He was becoming
nervously anxious. Finally the carriage
hove in sight; he marched out to meet
it at the curb, threw open the door
There was Mrs. Sherman and a nurse
