So hot a telephone war is being waged
in Ishpeming, Mich, that the charge for
instruments has been knocked literally out
of sight. Telephones are being put in
free, without charge for service upon the
signing of an agreement that the instru-

pany that is making this offer thinks the
opposition will be dead by or before the
end of a year.

Gov. O'Ferrall of Virginia has raised a
storm about his ears by appointing a re-
publican to the position of gardener of the
capitol grounds. The governor says the
man appointed knows more about flowers
and gardening in a minute than any dem
ocrat of his acquaintance knows all day.
The kickers, however insist that know
ledge of flowers and gardening is not the
chief knowledge that a capitol gardener
should possess. He should first know
which way to vote.

The clearances of the Savannah banks
for the year 1896 show an increase over
the clearances of the previous year. The
increase is little short of S5OO.0OO; and is
most gratifying showing, taken in con-
nection with the fact that the year was
not good one for trade and commerce
The conclusion which must be reached is
that Savannah is steadily extending her
business, despite the hard times.

The export business of the southern
ports increased upwards of Ss3OOO,OOO in
the ten months ending Oct 81, 1896, as
compared with the exports of the corre-
spending period in 1895. The Philadelphia
Record, which hates to see a bale of
goods or a bushel Of wheat that might go
10 Philadelphia shipped to another port,
recognizes the fact that trade gravitates
in the direction of the least impediments,
and congratulates the southern ports upon
their increasing prosperity. The Record,
further. calls TO mind that north, south,
east and west are one country, and OBJ
serves that 1.-THE growth OF business at
southern ports tends to a more symmetri-
cal development of our national re-
sources" That is the philosophic way for
our northern neighbors to look at the
matter. We expect to do the business
anyway. and to increase the volumes OF
81 each year for many years to come.

Mr. Smith. an English traveller arrived
one evening at hotel in Austria, says
the Gripsack. On the way he had picked
up a smart German and hired him as a
servant. In Austria every one staying at
a hotel is obliged to register his name and
occupation i'm a book, which is kept for

member of the Florida legislature In
Washington the other day told Post re-
porter: '"rhe only way that Senator Call
can be defeated for reelection is to either
cede the state back to Spain or abolish
the Office" The time until the meeting
of the Legislature is too short TO take
steps either for ceding the state to Spain
or for abolishing the Office hence, if the
Florida member quoted is correct in his
statement, 1t seems that Senator Call will
have to so back to Washington.

There are abundant reasons for think
ing the city is not being provided with as
good a line Of theatrical entertainments
as our sister cities Of Charleston, Atlanta,
Macon and Augusta. 1t is not meant that
no good shows are brought here
for, indeed, several first-rate com
panies have played here this season, and
others are expected. But what is meant
is that Savannah is not getting as many
good shows as her Importance and liber-
ality in patronizing theatricals deserve.
She is getting entirely too much chaff and
too little wheat. A diet of chaff pals on
the palate after a while.

The newspaper business sustains a dis
tinct loss in the death of Joseph Bur
bridge McCullagh, editor of the ST Louis
Globe-Democrat. He was one Of the most
virile, versatile men in the business. and
his history covers the history of the mod
ern newspaper press of the west. He
was a Dublin Irishman by BIRTH a red
hot republican American by choice, and
news finder and newspaper maker by
nature. Like many Of the successful
editors and proprietors of American news
papers, he began life at the bottom Of
the ladder, as a practical printer. Foi-
lowing that ne became successfully re-
porter, war-times Washington correspond
ent, war correspondent in the field, man
aging editor, and editor-in-chief. He was
with Sherman's army on its march to the
sea- He has been connected with news
papers in Cincinnati Chicago and St.
Louis. the last twenty-three years of his
life being spent in the last named city.
He was in a class along with Watterson,
Dana, and Storey of Chicago-never so
happy as when he had a controversy on
his hands; and he had a carboy of rhetor-
ical vitriol perpetually on tap.

MIEvILLE,S EFFORTS TO DIE.
Physicians Prevent Death, and He
Is on the Road To Recovery.

Paul f. Melville, barber. made a sec
ond futile effort TO end his life shortl after
Il O'Clock last night. He is but little
worse this morning for his experience,
which might have Resulted fatally except
for the prompt work Of the physicians at
the Emergency Hospital. A small phial
OF laudanum was the means employed by
Melville, who prepared himself for the
act bygetting very drunk. Melville started
on spree early yesterday morning and
had not recovered from its effects when he
went 10 his home last night. IL was be-
tween III and 2 O'Clock that some one
rushed into FitZCeralds drug store, at
Four-and -a-half and | streets and informed
Mfr. Charles S. Walter, the manager that
Melville had taken laudanum. Mr. Walter
hurrie,. to the barber's home at 49S
street, and gave the man large doses OF
antidotes.
The police were then notified, and ME-
vile " as removed To the Emergency Hos
piCal, where, after about an hours hard
work, the physicians restored him TO con.
sciouSness. This morning he was reported
as much improved. No cause is assigned
for Meville's attempt TO end his life,
other than dependency following his
spree.
