LITERARY NOTES
THE NOVEMBER CENTURY

Al
| Perhaps the handsomest number Of The
Century Magazine ever issued is that which
Eears date November, 1899. The cover
| design includes portrait of Cromwell re-
drawn on stone by Ernest Haskell and
printed in four tints; while the frontispieee
also in tinis-is wood engraving by I.
| Johnson from Cooper's painting Of the
Protector in Sidney Sussex College, Cam
bridge. The experiment in color printing
is not confined to these two portraits, nor
to the illustrations in the opening install
ment of John Morley's study of Cromwell:
It extends also to the striking full-page
drawings and marginal sketches with
which Seton Thompson supplements the
work Of his pen il narrating the first part
OF The Biography Of Grizzly" Between
these two. contributions comes Gilbert
Stuarts portrait ofMrs Harrison Gray
Otis, engraved by Wolf. In Timothy Coles
series of wood engravings from the Old
English Masters appear Lawrence's Duke
of Wellington" and ''Old" Cromes House
hold Health and "Windmill.r Nor
does this exhaust the list Of full-page pio- |
lures that add so much to the handsome
appearance and artistic interest Of the |
magazine. But the main value Of the |
number lies by no means iii its Illustrations.

Kentucky cast a Republican majority
on Tuesday from 10000 to 10000 but
under the Goebel law where the Demo-
crais have two of the three election
officers and name the Republican melnr
ber, usually an incompetent, the effort
is to steal the election. Ex Judge
Milton j. Durham, Of Lexington, who
was first Controller Of the Treasury
under President Cleveland, has said of
the Republican nominee for Governor:
''Taylor should be seated; peaceably, if
possible; but seated. If they get in
the way, make them get out, even If
they have to be shot cut" The situa.
tion is getting hotter all over the State
and serious trouble is feared.

REPUBLICAN STATES.
OHIO

The vote on Tuesday in Ohio was
the largest since 1896 and aggregates
nearly $50 900, shows that the Rapub-
licans made the heaviest gains in the
Western Resei We and the eastern part
of the Sate. Outside Of The fusion at
Cincinnati, the mix At Cleveland and
Jones at Toledo, the conditions were
little influenced bsyond the normal,
though the Republicans carried num-
ber of cou -tles which have heretofore
been in the doubtful column, aud cleo
ted Judge Nash as Governor by a
majority of 10000. 1t is more than
double that of Bushnell two yeats ago.

not greatly damaged. The officials whose
duties carry them at frequent intervals
all over the roads they represent are
probably in better positions than most
others TO tell of the condition of crops.
Their frequent migrations into the coun-
try naturally causes an inqusitiveness
which results in their acquiring accurate
ideas of crop conditions. Mr.. W. J. Hay
low, superintendent of transportation OF
the Plant System, said he did not
think the recent drought had damag-
ed to any great extent the cotton crop in
the section penetrated by the Plant lines.
Recent observa tons, he says show the
plant to be in a healthy, fourshing con-
dition, with the brightest kind of pros
poets for good yields. While ne cannO,
speak as to the acreage, Mr.. Haylow
feels confident that the crop has stood
well in the face of unfavorable conditions.
The recent rains did not come 10 the res
cue any too soon, and have had the effect
of giving to cotton fields a fourishing and
prosperous look.
Through agents all along their lines who
volunteer information the freight depart
ment of the Plant System is generally pos
sessed by this time of the year with ac-
curate opinions as to the cotton crop out
look. For some reason these reports have
not began to come this year 1t was stat
ed yesterday that none have been seen this
season. On this account the department is
not officially informed as to conditions,
though those who have Travelled much
agree that unless general appearances are
deceptive the outlook for good yields is
bright
Along the Central the same general re-
ports come of the cotton crop. There is
every reason to believe, from general APP
pearances, that the drought has not inter
fered greatly with the growth of cotton.
No authoritative reports have been receiv-
ed so far as could be learned however,
and until they are obtained by means of
circular letters or otherwise, the exact
status of the crop will not probably be
known.

WEATHER AND TROLLEY RIDING.
A Ride Around. One of the Features
of n SaVannahiau's Evening.

There is no more popular enjoyment in
Savannah during the summer months than
that of street car riding on hot nights
1t is essentially a democratic custom, and
is enjoyed by all classes and conditions
Cars that are fairly patronized during the
business hours of the day, carrying from
ten to fifteen passengers a trip, are
crowded during the evening with from
thirty-tive 10 fifty pleasure seekers on ev-
cry round.
The most popular hour is from to II,
though on very warm nights the crowds
last until much later. Saturdays and Sun
days, however boast the heaviest travel.
On the Abercorn and Whitaker belt,
which is the most popular with those who
ride for pleasure, eight cars are run
daily from 5:l5 a. m. to $3.50 p. m. after
which four are run until midnight.
These cars make the entire circuit or
the belt in thirty minutes, and hold COM
fortably forty passengers; on warm nights
their seating capacity IS often tested TO
the utmost.
Previous to the introduction of electric
ity as motive power people who suffered
from the heat sat on their
stoop or piazza and wooed gentle
zephyrs" with a far. No one thought
of riding for pleasure behind a mule that
same distance that is now done in half
the time.
In former years a rising mercury indl-
Gated a correspondent increase of income
TO the car companies, but now so firmly
has the custom of riding become a part
of the daily lives of Savannahians that
they seem to ride from force of habit. The
temperature of the present month. for in
stance, is % degrees below normal. the
hottest day so far being only So degrees
against SO degrees on July q a year ago
102 degrees July l, 1891 and 101 degree 6
July &c. 1896, and yet The travel on the
cars shows little or no dimnuiion. Nor
is this confined to the city lines. Thunder
bolt and Isle of Hope cars are both popu-
lar many people going out for just a few
whiffs of salt air and returning on the
same car.
But Savannahians are not the only ones
who enjoy the cool breezes of the com
mons. Every excursion that brings coun-
try people to town furnishes patrons for
| the car lines and, incidentally, trouble for
! the conductors. To paraphrase a popular
| song, all cars look alike 10 them and
| they expect to be taken direct to their
| destination by the car mat they happen
| to board, and even when riding Just for
| the novelty, they expect to be carried
| as long as they wish for one fare. Chang
! ing $40 bills, refusing smooth coins
| and answering questions are among con-
| ductor's daily trials; even the stopping Of
car going at full speed TO settle a bet
| as to which side of the street it would
stop on is probably no mere Pigment of
a humorist's brain.

FILIBUsTERs ARE WATCHED.
Department Afraid of Expeditions to
Central American states.

1t is reported from various Florida ports
that the United States marshals and dep,
uty marshals in these cities have received
orders from the department of justice at
Washington to keep their eyes open for
1iibusters, who, it is charged, are en-
deavoring TO fit out expeditions thence to
points in Honduras, Guatemala and Mica
Tagua.
These expeditions have as their alleged
purpose the desire to supply with arms
and munitions of war the dissatisfied in
habitants of these Central American couu-
tries, and to fit them for instructions. The
dispatches say that the cousuls of these
countries have received information tend
ing to show that ports in Florida and Cuba
are TO be selected as starting points, and
il is in Difference 10 their requests i'm the
premises that the orders have been sent
out 20 the marshals and deputy marslals.
Inquiry of Assistant District Attorney
Leaken revealed the fact that no orders
of this nature had been received here. They
would, OF course, come primarily TO him,
and the failure to send them renders It
reasonably sure either that there is no real
reason to fear such flibustering expedi-
tions from any Southern port, or that Sa-
vannah is not one that il has been thought
these enterprising aud ingenious individ-
uals would be likely to make use of.

Failure of New Furniture 10 Arrive

It is about settled that the pos.oIce

to have everything in working order there
by Aug. T. There may be considerable
Inconvenience owing TO the fact the new
furniture may not arrive in time to be
set up. but whether it gets here or not,
the programme is to move.
Advices were received yesterday from
Washington that the furniture had been
shipped from Chicago. 1t is unders TODD
it Will take it about ten days TO reach
Savannah. This being the case there is
no chance OF getting ii in place If the
office is TO Doe removed by tine first Of the
month The old furniture will be set up
for temporary use IN case the new does
not get here
For the first few days after the new
building is thrown open TO the public.

or TWO guards TO prevent the curious from
stormius the building Everything is

give the public a chance TO see the build

the building 20 wear off the charm that
makes il a novelty
