What Convinced Her.

mo woman" said the somewhat acrid
lady," according to the Washington
Star, should marry until she is sure the
man who asks her to do so really loves
her. And" she proceeded, gloomily, sit is
very hard TO be sure of that"
Perhaps So" replied the Kentucky lady.
But l was absolutely sure before l mar
ried."
Il don't see how you could be. It so
often happens that people do not know
their own minds
There was no room for doubt in this
case. We were out sleigh-riding the even
ing the colonel proposed TO me. L had re-
fused him several times before and 1 told
him then that l would always esteem him
as a friend. We heard the jingle of bells
behind us. The Coloners horse, a thor
oughbred of which he was very proud
quickened its pace at the sound. The Col
onel looked around and exclaimed: Here's
the chance I've been waiting for That's
Judge Peabody behind US. He has been
Dragging about that new horse of his for
the last six weeks, but whenever l tried
to get him right down 10 race, he has
lodged out of it somehow without ac-
knowledging that this horse could beat
him"
The colonel slowed up so as to let tie
judge overtake him. The judge didn't dare
refuse the challenge, because he had
girl with him. He wouldn't allow himself
to be Inundated in her eyes. As soon as
the two sleighs were even the colonel gave
our horse cut with the whip and away
we went, the animals with necks eagerly
extended and the people leaning over the
dashboards trying to help them along For
few seconds the horses feet thumped
on the road in perfect rhythm; then we
began to move ahead. The village was
about mile distant, and the colonel lean
ed out, turned and shouted:
Judge, III see you at the postoffice
''The judge gave his horse a blow with
the whip but he was already using all
the speed he had. 1 turned around, half
out of the sleigh, to keep a lookout. The
sleigh struck a bowlder and pitched me out
into a snowdrift. I wasn't hurt, and gave
thanks when l saw the sleigh had not
wholly overturned and was speeding on
its way to the postoffice, still several
lengths ahead Of the judge. Imagine my
astonishment VIXEN l saw the colonel slow
up, let the judge pass him and turn
around"
HE was coming back after you" sug-
gested one of the listeners.
That's exactly what he was doing. And
1 concluded then and there that when a
Kentucky gentleman was willing to lose
a horse race for my sake.there wasn't any
excuse for doubling his affection"

Hawaii in Eclipse.
From the New York Post Qnd.).

Nothing is heard nowadays about the
annexation of Hawaii, and the promoters
of that scheme have evidently concluded
that there is no use in pushing it at pres
ent The probability of war with Spain
has made so plain the impolicy of our be-
ing forced to defend Hawaii that every
body recognizes the good fortune of the
nation in having escaped that necessity
The probability of war with Spain has been
brought forward by those who advocate
annexing the Danish islands as a reason
for rushing through that project without
the slightest delay, and a week ago they
seemed hopeful that they might succeed
before the public realized what they were
about. But happily the opponents of the
project in the Senate were not stampeded
and they stood so firm that its friends
have felt constrained to abandon their at
tempt.

The Engineering News of New York, in
its issue of the week just ended. contains
a thoughtful and well-written article UNI
der the heading. Random Notes in Sa-
vannah." AS might be expected, the
notes" have to do especially with the en-
cheering features of the city; the pave
ments, drainage, water supply, street rail-
ways, and similar topics. 1t is, upon the
whole, an article that is quite compliment
tary to the city, showing her TO be about
on par with the other big cities of the
country.

If the street railway people do not give
better and faster schedules, the people
viii get out of the way of riding. The
time is past when the street railway can
have everything its own way. The public
convenience must be given attention. The
best paying patronage comes from those
who have neither the time nor the incl-
nation to wait a long time upon a street
corner for a car Bicycles are cheap, and
1t does not require great deal of exer-
ton to- learn TO master one. on Saturday
at one time the cars were run. nearly a
half hour apart on Whitaker street. and at
night tho schedule was no better. The
complaint against the poor service is be-
coming general. From being city with
the best street railway service In the
South. and where everybody rode on the
cars, Savannah is becoming known as the
city of the poorest car service in the coun-
try. II would seem that since the city au-
thorities have given the street railway
people monopoly of the streets, a selfish
motive, IL nothing else, should prompt the
company to give a good service in order
to build up its business, and keep out Dos
sible rival lines.

arrival of returning troops and refugees

~ that the defenses of Florida should con-
sist not only of guns and torpedoes, but
also of formidable array of disinfecting
apparatus and quarantine regulations.
The diseases which originate in Cuba are
more TO be dreaded than the soldiers
which Spain could send to Florida. The
latter are not feared by the American
citizen; but the unseen, insinuating dis
ease germ is a foe which cannot be de-
spised.

Some of the patriotic vessel owners of
the North have no scruples about squeez-
ing the government for the last cent pos
sible in selling their craft for the national
defenses. The steam pilot boat at Phila-
delphia, which cost $4,000 more than
year ago. is held at $4,000 cash, or more
than so per cent. profit. In New York on
Thursday the government declined to pur-
chase several American steamships which
were wanted for the auxiliary fleet because
their owners demanded exorbitant prices
for them. A great many of the patriots
are no doubt keeping a weather eye to the
main chance, while they are shouting for

up TO the jumping -off place, otherwise cleo

will prove one of the "best men" who has

The torpedo boat destroyers, of which so
much is being said in the news columns
just now, are a, comparatively new type of
vessel. They are built somewhat upon the
lines of the torpedo boat. but are consid-
erably larger. much heavier and faster.
They carry small but powerful batteries
of rapid fire guns as well as torpedo
tubes. and are provided with rams strong
enough to cut a torpedo boat or
one of their own kind in two. In size they
come between the cruiser and the torpedo
boat; in fighting qualities at close quarters
they are held TO rank superior TO both. The
destroyer is heavily armored and the hold
space is pretty nearly completely filled
with machinery for making speed.
