The presence Of the government trans
port Panama in the port of Savannah re-
calls the humorous incident of her cap
ture by the little lighthouse tender Man
grove The incident was thus described
by writer in the Montreal Herald;
I wonder if the Montreal people fully
realize the humor of the situation when
the announcement was bulletined by the
Herald that the Mangrove had captured
the Panama and towed her into port
Imagine it, if you can. Here is a light
house tender, sent down to keep the ships
of the squadron from running on the
rocks, and TO Keep officers supplied with
Turkish tobacco, Kentucky products and
Boston baked beans. They put a couple
of 6-pounders on her just to make her
feel good. Thus the Mangrove.
The Panama sailed from New York on
April 20, a stately auxiliary cruiser of the
Spanish navy OF 1900 tons register, filed
with stores for the Spanish troops. am
munition, torpedo shells and goodness
knows what all On her are several hun
dred martial Spaniards. hurrying TO lay
their offers of service at the feet Of Gen.
Blanco. These brave men, they have
heard of that oath taken by their COM
patriots, Victory or DEATH" and they
cry, like the gentleman in 1.-The Idol
Eye" "Car-r-ramba. They reach Cuban
waters, and then-they almost run over
the Mangrove
The latter, having two new 6-pounders,
and seeing something to pot at, promptly
begins to fire. Of course. none of the
shots took effect and that made the Man
groves crew madden than ever. BLESS

you don't heave to. I'll sink you
Now, to fight with Blenco is one thing;
tn sink off Kew West &c another and all

iards
But, as the Mangrove's crew consisted
of nine men and powder boy mo, not a
cabin boy, but a lighthouse boy) it was
impossible to place prize crew in charge.
Come along with me" said the captain
of the Mangrove wen find a prize crew
for you" And so they cruised around I'M
til they found the Indiana, and borrowed
a prize crew.
Then the Mangrove brought the Panama
to port.

Two negro women were overheard by
reporter yesterday, discussing the merits
OF a certain negro society, says the Jack
sonville Times-Union. One called it la
borers' union, and stated that when a
member was sick she received 81 per week
and that if she died she was buried at The
expense of the order. Neither of the wo,
men was a member, but one intended to
join, and was trying to induce the other
to do likewise

Reports from The storm Of last Satur-
day in the northeastern part Of the coun-
try indicates that it must be classed with
the greatest and most destructive storms
on our coast. It is said That not since
1852 has there been so much loss Of life
and property from storm as occurred last
week. and it is possible that even the
disaster OF forty-six years ago viii have
been eclipsed by the time the reports are
all in. The velocity of the wind along
the New England coast was something
terrific. The observers at the Blue Hill
observatory near Boston say that for a
time the velocity of the storm was not less
than 100 miles an hour. Fortunately that
rate was not sustained long, or the devas-
tation. would have been complete along
the coast. 1t seems. according to the ex-
perts, that the storm was a compound
one, otherwise Two storms combined. One
originated in Michigan and moved east
ward, while the other formed off the At
lantic coast and moved northward. They
probably effected a junction somewhere
about Cape Cod

A nornrrIL ENrFnIsENT.

1t is reported that Speaker Little says
that his tax bill. when perfected, will
provide that railroad companies holding
charters from this state will be held re-
spousibie for the payment of taxes on their
outstanding bonds-that is, on those of
their bonds held by residents OF the state.
1t would. be interesting 10 know how it is
possible for a railroad company 70 know
whether its bonds are held by residents
or non-residents. Bonds of railroads are.
as a rule coupon bonds, and are trans
ferred just as bank notes are. If two
thirds of the bonds of a Georgia railroad
were held in this state it would not be
possible for the railroad company TO know
the fact with certainty. because the hold
ers Of the bonds could have the coupons
paid through banks or brokers Of New
York. The railroads do not know who
hold their bonds, and the coupons do not
show who the owners of them are. Be-
sides, the coupons could readily be sold to
persons. outside of the state
Mr.. Little is quoted as saying that he
has studied the tax laws of many of the
states. Ii is pretty certain that he has
found that in many of. them the tax rate
on securities is very much lower than that
on real estate. The constitution of this
state permits a low rate of taxation on Sc
curities. the opinion of the Supreme Court
to the contrary Notwithstanding. If Mr.
Little wants to get about all of the securi-
ties in the state that are subject to taxa
ton, on the tax books, he should provide
in his bill a low tax rate on securities
1t would pay the state 10 do so.
The Governor is wise enough to see that
the present rate of taxation is driving cap
ital and securities out of the state, and
he calls attention to the fact in his mes
sage in which he deals with the subject
of reducing appropriations. Mr.. Little and
some others think that there is a vast
amount of securities in the state which
escape taxation. The Governor does not
agree with them. The chances are the
Governor is right. No matter what sort of
a drag net is invented, the state will not
get many more securities for taxation
than it gets now. People will put their
securities outside of the state before they
viii give from half to two-thirds of their
entire incomes to the state. In enacting
a tax reform measure the legislature
should take this fact into consideration

Not Down ON the RiiIu.


Some of the greatest hits on the stage
are made by accident, and not always to
the satisfaction of the actors, says the
Cleveland Leader
1t was during the performance of
comic opera at the opera house. At the
close of the second act a stage coach
that has been "he,d up" is brought upon
the boards. The soldiers and constables
who are competing for the reward that
is offered for the highwayman have cap
tured some prisoners, but the right one is
not among them. Jerome Sykes, who
plays the part of Foxy CUTLER, the head
constable, hustles his captives to the top
of the coach, and the passengers re-enter
it.
Sykes, who is a heavy man, is the last
to climb up, and when he did so on Tues
day evening he brought his 200 pounds
down on the roof of the coach with
plump. But he didn't stop when he struck
the roof. He went right on through, land
ing on the heads of the lady passengers.
1t was thought at first that the come
dian was severely hurt, but when he came
up smiling the applause far surpassed any
that had been previously ELECTED The
unfortunate Foxy had to scramble out of
the mix-up on all tours which unexpected
acrobatc feat so pleased the audience
that there were loud demands for an en-
core, the entire company being finally
compelled to march in single file across
the stage.
Many supposed Mr.. Sykes performance
was part of the show, and We're so loud
in their praise of it that the management
offered big inducements to have it repeated
each night but Sykes rebelled. 1t is I'M
derstood that the ladies upon whose heads
he landed when he went through the roof
also put in mild objections, so that the
act will probably not be continued.

The Cleveland Plain Dealer says that a
certain local rector occasionally drops into
a form of dialect that strikes his congre-
cation as being little singular, to say the
least. In these lapses from everyday WAYS
of pronunciation he let's the vowel ''i'' have
undue prominence, and the result is often
times startling
Possibly the most amusing example of
this popularity came in the form of an
announcement gravely read from the pull
pit one Sunday in the early fan:
ION the afternoon and evening of Fri
day next" the rector read, ION the grounds
of Mr.. and Mrs Blanque, the lydies OF The
congregation will bold a lawn fight

belhgerency the women smiled family, ana

THE TROUBLE IN Swan.

The wires are hot with the news from
Swat. The Mad Fakir, with some 900 more
or less mad Swatis, having crossed he
Swat river some days ago, has fallen upon
a body of Dir tribesmen and swatted them
out of their five senses, killing a num-
Der of them. The Nawab of Dir in an
effort to avenge his countrymen, has sent
a force against the Mad Fakir of Swat
with instructions TO wipe up the earth
with him and then wipe him off the earth.
What all of the trouble is about nobody
seem TO know precisely. It has been sug-
gested that the Mad F'akir is mad because
some Englishmen have been selling him
gold bricks, or what amounts to the same
thing in the Swat valley and that he is
determined to swat the Englishmen before
he gets through with tue rumpus. An
other possible explanation is that the Swa-
tbs are fighting for the love of it; just to
keep their hands in and to prevent the
race from falling under the enerVating in
f1uences. of a too long continued peace
like it sometimes happens in Yamacraw
and the Old Fort. Another story is that
NiN AAetN T. ami - OAiS ldh1llS at DNSl, ana
that as soon as he finds the Nawab Of
Dir is thoroughly aroused and means bust
ness he will claim that he only crossed
the Swat river in the interest of human
ity, and is willing to recross for the same
reason.
Meantime the advices would seem to in
dicate that the last named explanation
is not the correct one, for the Mad Fakir
is marching straight ahead and swatting
everything in mis- path. He is intent upon
vindicating the glorious history of his
race and unfolding Swat honor. Nobody
knows anything about either of these
things, but that cuts no ice with the Mad
Fakir of Swat. And just here, paren-
thetically, it may not be out of place to
note that those mad fakirs of swat, Cor
bett and Sharkey, are now trying to vim
dictate their honor by taking another
fight as charity benefit. Mad fakrs,
therefore, seem TO be jealous of their
honor, the world over.

God HeIn The hoy.

God help the boy who never. sees
The butterflies the birds, the bees.
Nor hears the music of the breeze
When zephyrs soft are blowing.
Who cannot in sweet comfort lie
Where clover blooms are thick and high
And hear the gentle murmur nigh
OF brooklets softly flowing.
God help the boy who does not know
Where all the woodland berries grow.
Who never sees che forests glow
When leaves are red and yellow.
Whose childish feet can never stray
For such hapless boy I say
When nature does her charms display
God help the litue fellow.
