Unloading Dignity.

One of the funny stories told in con-
nection with the cruise of the Yosemite
while she was manned by the Michigan
Naval Reserves is related by Frank
Reschke. He was one of the jackies.
Aside from his seamanlike accomplish
ments, Frank is an accomplished Vlollh-
ist says the Detroit Free Press, and he
had his instrument aboard ship, making
many an hour pass more pleasantly for
the boys when they were far from home
and too close to bilge water and hard
tack.
The officers heard how much better Sea-
man Reschl1e could handle the DOW than
a wheelbarroW of coal and one evening
when they were passing pleasant time
in the cabin he and his violin We're in
vited in. There was champagne and beer
on the table Reschke is a social fellow,
and when he was invited to sit close to
the table among the officers he enjoyed
the prospect. He might have been invited
to take a sip of beer, but he wasn't. He
was asked TO play.
'"They want TO see how l can perform
first" was the soliloquy of the musician,
as he pulled up the collar of his blue
sailor shirt to make a cushion for the
instrument. He sailed in with a lively
tune that brought him applause all around,
from Capt. Emory down to the least Of
the officers Reschke got applause, but no
champagne-not even beer"
Must have played the wrong tune"
thought Reschke, but he was encouraged
when no less a person than Capt. En-
DRY asked:
Can you play the intermezzo from
'Cavalleria Rusticana?' That is my favor
lite air.
OF course, .Reschke could play it, and
he performed it in a style that would have
brought him a barrel of drinks from any
other company if he had wanted them.
And while he let his bow draw out the
sweet notes of this favorite production,
he imagined that surely that long and
carefully nurtured thirst must certainly
be gratifed when he got through. There
was chorus of applause, when Frank
had trilled out that last high note of the
intermezzo, and each of the autocrats of
the Yosemite lifted his glass in apprecia-
ton of the treat, while the violinist could
only imagine he felt the cooling draught
sliding down his throat.
The captain did not unbend. Reschke
was only an ordinary seaman, and it
wouldn't do to let him sit and drink in
social equality with the commander of the
ship.

New Woman Dentist.

Everitt told this at a meeting of the
ol-Things-We-Ha Club, says
the Chicago Record.
She was a dentist and had opened an
office on the eighth floor. Nearly every
impreseionable young man in the building
was her slave, but she didn't seem to know
it,
zone day 1 picked up her glove in the
elevator and she thanked me so sweetly
that 1 went five floors beyond where 1
wanted TO get off. Next day she froze
me when I tipped my hat and the glove
was evidently a closed incident. Finally I
decided to feign a toothache-sOmething l
never had in my hfe-and become ac-
quainted with her as a patron. Accord
ingly L entered her office, and, sitting down
in the waiting room, gripped my jaw in
both hands, emitted several bloodhound
ling groans, and tried to look like Richard
Mansfield.
Soon l was in the chair of torture and
the dentist was endeavoring to find the
toothache, which 1 had described with
Steve Cranish elaboration of detail Every
time 1 endeavored to start up a converse
ton, however, she would open my mouth
and try another test. She used airguns
hydraulic machines, buyers, jaobers,
grinders, hammers and harrows, and when
1 endeavored. to explain that the ache was
gone she stuffed enough rubber in my
mouth to make a poncnO for a soldier, and
l couldn't even bark.
FINALLY she slipped a wedge between
two teeth and then touched some sort or
an electric apparatus that spread the
molars at least half an inch. 1 must have
grown pale at this, as she took the rub
Der out of my mouth and gave me drink
of water after allowing me to climb out
of the chair.
" I've tried every test known to den
tistry said she, sweetly, but can't ma
the ache. 1 guess the trouble in your
head is not with your teeth. You should
consult a brain specialist
"Well, at this shot couldn't even apollo
gize 1 simply sneaked, and next week 1
moved my office to a building four blocks
distant. l don't believe in women enter
ing the professions anyway.

A Modern Version.

From the Baltimore American.
Maud Muller, Jr.-summer's day
Raked the meadows sweet with hay.
The Judge came limping down the lane;
He sighed and seemed to be in pain
His face was thin and darkly tanned,
Mosquito bites adorned his hand.
His uniform was sadly soiled,
His linen, too, must needs be boiled.
His saber clanked as near be drew;
Sweet Maud looked up, said, How dye
doI'
1--WE been away to war" said he.
Indeed said Maud, quite cheerily.
You fought the Spanish hordesr' said she.
mo; flies and insects" answered he.
She said, you heard the horrid shell.
And groaned as some poor comrade felIr'
"Ah, yes" he said, deep groans were
mine,
But mostly when twas time to dine"
and stormed you not some Cuban hill?"
She asked, her voice grown strangely still.
"Alasw said he, with sorrowing look.
Il stormed naught save the army cook.
mo Cuban hinv she said. "Oh, fudgel
I'm disappointed in you, Judge!'
Then with a sigh she turned away
And raked the meadows sweet with hay.
The soldier judge tramped on again.
And sighed, Gosh hang the war with
Spain!'
Alas! for soldier, alasl for maid;
Alas for those who at Tampa stayed
Alas poor soldiers for warfare wishin',
But always, alack! delay an transmission.
For of all sad words Of tongue or type
writer,
The saddest are these: I'm an unfought
,-- dghter!.

DEATH or MISS MINNIE DAVIS.

The announcement Of the death of Miss
Winnie Davis, although not wholly I'M
expected, will be received with profound
sorrow throughout the South, and in
others parts of the country with feelings
Of sympathy for the beteaved relatives
and friends. As the daughter of Jefferson
Davis and as the Daughter Of the Con-
federacy," she was very close to the
hearts of the people of the South. A wo-
man of lovely disposition and noble as
pirations she had hosts of friends in all
parts of the country Endowed with an
intellect much above the average, and be
ing possessed of a large fund Of varied and
valuable information, she was the con-
fdant and assistant of her remarkable
father in the preparation Of his writings
in his later years. Possessing strong
character and a clear judgment she was
wei worthy of that position. Only re-
Gently she published a book which was
very favorably received. Had she lived
a few years longer the probabilities are
that she would have made for herself
place in the nations literature. The in
terest with which the bulletins respect
ing her condition during her illness were
read showed that the people had strong
regard for her The hope was general
that she would be restored to health. Her
memory win have place in the hearts of
the people of the South.

The Chicago politician is nothing II not
progressive. The stereopticon is now be-
ing employed in that city for the purpose
of drawing voters, to be educated up to a
proper conception of their duties, the
needs Of the country and the eminent abil-
tiles of the candidate who pays the hire
of the apparatus and the speaker who &C
companies it, The idea will be elaborated,
of course. It must he a mighty poor idea
that Chicago will not elaborate. Present
ly in all probability the rival candidates
will "go" his opponent "one

showing real life-like pictures of the

kissed by a lovely lady constituent" or
illustrating how his jaw and arms work
ed when he was delivering a certain fa-
nous speech. The next step may be a
dancing stunt by celebrated jig artists as
a curtain raiser to the speaking, and then
alternating intervals of vaudeville and po-
litical wisdom. The people have got to be
educated in politics somehow, and the Chi
cago politicians feel it to be their duty to
toll them within ear-shot by any availa-
Bile means.

rHr rENNEssEE cAMPAIGN.

The gubernatorial campaign in Tonnes
see is now in full swing; the Issues have
been clearly defined, ard the cand dates
are on the stump in j-int debate. II is
worthy of especial note thai national is
sues are playing a very small part in the
campaign. II is very wei understood, Of
course. that both Mr. McNlhn and Mr.
Fowler, Democratic ana Republican can
didates respectively, are in line with the
national platforms of Their parties: but
neither is doing much talking about tariff,
silver territorial expansion, or any other
one of those things which come within the
jurisdiction Of Congress solely. They are
devotng themselves TO Tennessee topics,
and they find a plenty at hand to keep
them busy.
The debates have developed that Mr..
McMiIHn stands strongly for these re-
forms: % Reduction of the expenses of
the state government; 90 payment Of the
state debt by the creation of sinking
fund; 80 reduction of the number OF
judges and attorneys general; "a putting
coal oil inspectors on salaries aad en-
ploying oil fees in payment of the ex-
penses of one department of the state gov
eminent; Co UNFOLDING the Estes fee bill
which requires The payment of fees into
the state treasury instead of to Office
holders; 60 the reduction of the cost of
criminal prosecutions. and % the build
ing up Of an efficient public school sys-
tenn. That is a strong platform, and with
an able and well-informed man. as Mr..
McMllin Is, standing squarely upon 1t and
making the most of it, there ought TO be
no lack Of popular interest aroused.
As a general proposition it may be said
that the Republican candidate opposes all
Of those things which are favored by Mr..
MeNilin. with the exception of improv-
ing the public school system. One thing
which he advocates and the Democrat
opposes-and which advocacy Of Itself
ought to secure his defeats a change
in the election laws which would put ig-
norance and vice on an equal footing at
the ballot box with intelligence. He wish
es the tickets on the official ballots to
be marked with a distinguishing device
80 That the voter whether he can or not
read and write may be able to identify
the ticket for which he wishes to vote
The purpose, of course, is to get the Re
! publican ticket into the hands of negroes
who cannot read the names of the party
and it's candidates.

cratic party in Tennessee what Col. Can

THE RIVER STREET RAILROAD.

We confess we have not been able to see
any good reason for the course of the City
Council in deciding to review its action in
the matter Of the right Of way through
River street which if granted to the Cen
trail of Georgia Railway. The opening of
that street to the Central would be Of i'm
meuse advantage TO the merchants OF the
city and the commerce of the port. It
would also greatly increase the value of
the wharf property all along the river
front
In the petition asking that the grant be
held up il is intimated that the agreement
in respect to transfer charges is not salts
factory-that the door is left open for the
railroad 10 impose excessively heavy
transfer charges Our understanding Is
that the transfer charge is 70 be 81 per
car, and we assume that that is the under
standing of the City Council. If there is
any doubt as to what the transfer charge
is to be, the doubt ought 10 be removed.
Il is all nonsense, however, to suppose
that the Central would impose transfer
charges that would have the effect of turn
ing business from this city u Charleston
or TO Brunswick. OF all the roads running
into the city the Central is the one most
deeply interested in building up the bust
ness of this port.
However, now that the grant has been
held up it might be well for the city to
have such an understanding about the
transfer charges that it would not be pos
sible for any one to have the impression
that the CentraRs purpose is to gouge the
merchants. 1t would seem as If the Cen
trail, for its own interest, would make the
transfer rate as low as the expense incl
dent to the business would permit.
Another objection to the grant is said
to be that if the Central gets a track
through River street it will be possible to
run trains through to Tybee without stop
ping in Savannah. Well, that is not much
of an objection. Trains are now run
through to Tybee by way of the Plant
System without stopping in this city, and
we do not see that Savannah would be
hurt if the Central had the same advant-
age. The quicker that Tybee visitors can
be delivered on the seashore the greater
the number the visitors will be.
II is to be hoped that the River street
grant will stand, and that trains will soon
be delivering their loads of freight the en-
tire length of the street. The greater our
facilities for doing business are the great
er the amount of business will be which
we shall do.
