CHRIST cHURCH's NEW ORGAN.
Some of the Pipes Destroyed by Wat
err on the City of Macon.

Some of the Pipes Destroyed by Wat
err on the City of Macon.
Mr.. Herbert Brown of Wilmington, Del,
Is in Savannah erecting the large organ
in Christ Church which arrived some days
ago on the City of Macon. 1t will require
about three weeks to erect it.
The organ was purchased of the John
Brown Company, The proprietor being a
brother of the gentleman who is now in
Savannah. There is probably not another
organ in the South the size or as extensive
as the one being erected. 1t embodes the
latest improvements in the manufacture of
large musical instruments, among the au-
tomato bellows process used as an aux
iliary for operating the keys. BY this new
process much OF the friction which exist
ed in the cd style keys is remedied, and
instead of an effort by the organist, the
tension is such that slight touch does
the work. Another improvement is in
the tablets which take the place of the
old horizontal keys for stopping sound and
which had to be pulled and showed by the
organist The small, oblong tablets,
which stand perpendiculariy in the places
of the old keys, incline slightly when
touched at either extremity by the organ
list and require little effort.
While in transit on the City of Macon
the big organ came near being destroyed
in the fire. Several of the larger pipes
were ruined by water and others hav6
been ordered by Mr.. Brown from the fac
tory. Otherwise the parts were not dam
aged and win soon be in position.
The building committee expects the dec
orators here from Boston at any time
They were expected yesterday, but for
some reason did not arrive. Members OF
the committee state that the interior of
the church is now ready for the decora-
ton. which will be about the finishing
touch when ii is completed.

now TO be best informed regarding us. The
information which the Spanish press IS
giving out to the people is such palpable
transformation that one can scarcely at
tribute it to mere ignorance, and we are
led to believe that the misrepresenta talon
must be wilful. One of the most striking
instances of this is an article on the Unit
ed States navy, which appears in a re-
cent issue of the Spanish weekly, La Il
distraction, the "Harper's Weekly of
SPAIN The United States has usually been
credited in Europe with possessing a navy
which, though small in numbers, is of the
very latest pattern and includes some of
the most original and effective type of
ships in the world. The Spanish journal
in question. however lends Itself to the
task of persuading the Spanish public that
our navy is made up of poor limitations
of European ships, that it is manned by
hirelings who calculate, while they are
lighting, what their valor, in cents. should
be worth to them; THAT it is navy with
out traditions of any kind" Eye shades of

The article opens by stating that ten
years ago our naval efforts were confined
to repairing the Mlantonomoh and her
class, which are built partly of wood"
(sic). We are informed that a navy yard
has recently been started at Port Orchard
in Brambridge (sic), and that among other
places where the navy keeps stores of am
munition and coal is New Oskaut New
OrleansO on the Atlantic coast. The map
of Washington fails TO show the name
Brambridge, the nearest approach to it
being the name of cambridge island,
which lies about five miles from Port
Orchard
After our contemporary has displayed
such an intimate knowledge of our geog-
raphy, we are not surprised to learn that
important works for the manufacture of
armor have been established in
Massachusetts under the direction of Mr..
Bethlehem" We are Informed that
these works can compete with Krupp in
Germany" bvt lest our confidence and

Mrs. Marion Law, widow of Con-
ductor Henry M. Law, formerly of
this city, who died from injuries
received in the wreck on the
Western Railway of Alabama, near Shor-
ters, Ala, Jan. 9, has filed suit against
the road, through her attorneys, Hokc

$4,000 damages.
Two other suits have been fled by pas
sensers on the wrecked train, asking for
damages for injuries received in the wreck
in the sum of $1,75O each. The litigation
IS the result of one of the most dangerous
and disastrous wrecks which ever occur
red on the Western Railway of Alabama.
The bin of complaint and petition for
damages filed by Mrs. Law sets forth
that the death of her husband was caused
by the gross negligence of the railroad
company in several particulars, and she
asks the court 10 award her the sum of

Ut is matter of frequent remark that
the average European is as densely igno-
rant on all questions relating to the Unit
ed States as the average citizen Of this
country is well informed on European af-
fairs. II is probable that outside of a
comparatively narrow circle in England.
France and Germany, the people of the
old world have only the vaguest idea of
the resources, wealth and social and indus
trial development Of the United States
They see the nondescript crowds that mi
CRATE yearly across the western ocean. and
they grow accustomed to the thought that
America is huge degeneration Of unas-
simulated nationalitics. They little under
stand that such is the size and virility of
the American race that these myriads are
absorbed without disturbing the national
equilibrium or changing a line or shadow
of the national countenance.

ropean country is there SO much misap-

Whether or not the phenomenal growth
had anything to do with the boys tenacity
of life is a moot poini, but Valentin end
his horn went to the grave al the early
age of TO-
A longer-lived horned being was a col
ored man whom Prelobsky refers to- ak
ing the Boston Medical Journal of 1856 as
his authority. 1t is here stated that a
medical man of Charlestown, named Por-
cher had as one of the curiosities of his
museum of science a horn that looked very
much like that of a ram. The horn vas
about two inches in diameter and seven
inches long, and at the end was separated
into several prongs like the antler Of an
elk. Documents of unquestionable au-
thority in the possession of the Charles
town doctor showed that the queer norm
had been cut from the head of a negro,
where it had grown in such remarkable
manner that only the amputation of tie
horny substance saved the mans eyesight,
for the horn had begun to grow inward
when the surgeons saw cut short its fur
Their progress, and had it not been remoV-
ed it would have grown into the horned
mans eye, and first blinded and then kill
ed him.
Another curious instance of horned
woman named Mrs. Allen, a native OF
Leicestershire. She was a good-lookins
girl, with nothing abnormal about her ex-
cept her horns, and these grew from the
side of her head in ram-like formation.
They We're unsightly and gave a grewsome
appearance to the otherwise attractive
face of the woman; but she was as proud
of them as though they were a highly
ornamental provision Of nature, and in

as one of the star attractions at various
freak shows. One popularity of Mrs AL
lens horns was that it was possible for
her to move them at will Apparently
they were attached to the scalp.
There is preserved in the Royal Society
of Medicine a horn that grew beside the
nostrils of a native of Borneo. These
horns are different from all the others
cited, in that they are unlike those of any
known animal
The most interesting case that Prelob-
sky mentions is that of an old Irish wo-
man, Mrs. Molly O'Hara, who lived In
the suburbs Of Cork. This woman had
antlers growing from her head that would
have done credit to a monarch of the for

spreading prongs like those of deer,
The owner considered them mark Of
notoriety they brought her. She died,
leaving a will In which she bequeathed

Reached Its End.

Winter Tourist season Has About
Reached Its End.
The last southbound vestibule trains of
the season will pass through here to-mor-
row from New York to St. Augustine via
the Plant system and the Florida Central
and Peninsular Railroad. The trains are
about to be taken off, the winter season in
Florida being practically at an end The
last northbound trains will pass through
Savannah on Monday.
Nearly all the Florida hotels have closed
for the season. and but few tourists re-
main. The season was brought to a pre-
mature close, the railroad officials say, by
the war scare They have found the tour
lists getting back north rapidly since the
prospect for hostilites became so pro-
nounced.
1t is said the cold snap of the past sew
etal DAYS would, ordinarily, have had the
effect of delaying the return movement
and keeping the Northerners in the Land
of Flowers a while longer. The hotel
men of Florida always welcome little
cold weather at the close of season on
this account. 1t often comes and the de-
sired result is achieved. The war scare
is responsible for the cold not having been
successful in delaying the homeward
flight of the seekers after health and
pleasure.
The Plant System has many truck farm
ers and fruit growers along its route.
Many of them are so located as never to
hear of the weather indications until too
late to take any precautions against en-
expected cold snap, The transportation
department of the road Is aware OF this
and takes measures TO insure, as far as
uossible. the farmers being notified of the
weather conditions. kilograms are sent 10

TRUCKERS DISCUSS RATES.
Unanimously i'm Favor of the EARLY
Delivery i'm New York.

Delivery i'm New York.
The quarterly meeting of the Truck
Growers Association of Chatham County
was held yesterday at the court house
Maj. G. M Ryals presided.
Two new members were elected. The
principal feature of the meeting however,
was The renewed discussion of the ques-
ton of rates on vegetables by the Ocean
Steamship Company and the hour of de-
livery in New York. Mr. w. j. Phillips
of Phillips & Sons, comm ssion men IN New
York, was present, and gave the growers
talk along the same line as that follow
ed by the commission merchants who ad-
dressed the association at las last meeting.
He took the stand that the , a. m. delivery
OF vegetables would prove hurtful TO the
interests of the growers, as the commits
sion men of New York look at 81, and ad
vsed that it be sought to have the officials
of the steamship company change the
hour from TO o'clock, as it has stood
for several years
This the planters did not seem inclined to
do. as they feel that they should obtain
better results by the delivery being made
at the early hour. A few years ago the
vegetables were sold at the carly hour.
and much better returns were sent the
producers by the commission men than
they had while the hour was at o'clock.
Mr. Phillips found The meeting TO be
unanimously IN favor of the early deliv-
cry. He therefore asked that a resolution
be adopted showing just what the sense
of the association is Ia the matter. This
he wished to present TO the Fruit and
Trade Association, OF which he is the sec
rotary and treasurer. A resolution was
accordingly offered and adopted showing
ii to be the wish Of the planters 10 have
the early hour Of delivery, and 60 have the
steamship company make its sanlngs from
this port sufficiently early to insure the
freight getting on the wharYes at New
York in ample time for the delivery al
the scheduled hour.
Mr.. Phillips assured the meeting OF the
wish Of The commission men to do an ,.tey
can for the planters, and said they would
try TO make the 2 o. m. delivery success.
