and was terribly afraid of draughts. 1t
was once stated that during the winter
it always took him three-quarters OF an
hour to get from his room to the street
First, he would, on leaving his room, pace
the hall for ten minutes to get accllmat-
ed. He then descended to the lobby, where
the temperature was a little lower, anu
spent twenty minutes there He then ven
tured TO the Vestibule, from which the door
opened into the street. He would parade
the vestibule for fifteen minutes, occa
sonally opening the door to let in little
cold air. Being now accustomed to a<cool
temperature, he would button up his coat
and sally forth.
He once agreed to sing a solo at st.
Agnes Church, New York city. He came

SIGNS OF PEACE.

Gen. Otis seems TO think that the fight
ing in the Philippines Is practically ended.
1t is not known, of course, how much
of an army Agunaldo has with him. but
it is believed that ii is very small. Many
of the men who We're with him before the
capture of Malofos have left him and gone
to their homes They have had enough
fighting, and would be glad to have peace
declared. 1t has been stated a number of
times in our dispatches that Aguinaldo's
soldiers had to be forced into battle by
their officers. There has been very little
lighting since Aguinaldo's retreat from
Malolos. The inference is that the insur-
gent army has gone to pieces and that
Aguinaldos power is broken.
The commissioners sent to the Philip
pines seem to have accepted this view.
They have issued proclamation In which
they set forth the intention of the United
States in respect to the Filipinos. The pro-
clamation is calculated TO a1lay whatever
fears the Filipinos may have had respect
ing our purposes in their islands 1t is diff
ficult of course 10 make them believe
that it is our intention TO deal fairly and
honestly with them. They have become so
accustomed to the deceit of the Spaniards
that confidence in our protestatlons of good
will and friendship will be of slow growth.
SIN, if we treat them honestly and fairly
and show them that We intend to help
them better their condition, they may ac-
cept our terms of peace, and finally &C
| cept our rule.
Much viii depend upon the men to whom
will be intrusted the duty of administering
| the laws. If good laws nre enacted and
faithfully and honestly administered the
| Filpinos may become our friends and will
ingly yield obedience to our authority. but
If we send a lot of politicians to Manila
and they follow the example of the Span
iards, we shall never have peace in the
! Philippines.

Some time ago we published a short in
terview with Mr.. Egan. the vice president
of the Central of Georgia Railway in
which he suggested that efforts should be
made by our business men to have ship
yard established here. AS yet nothing
has been done, so far as we have seen, to
determine the feasibility of this sugges-
ton
Our attention is called to this matter at
this time by the announcement that con-
tracts have been made with the Roach
ship yard at Chester, on the Delaware
river, for two immense steamships for the
Hawaiian trade. These ships are to be
the largest ever built in an American ship
yard, with the exception of the st. Louis
and the st. Paul.
The contracts for these immense ships In
dictate that the people of this country in
tend to do their own carrying trade in the
near future. Many ships will be needed
for trade with our newly acquired posses
sions-Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philip
pines. and they must all be built In this
country. Our carrying trade is now the
largest in the world. We export more
than any other country, and pretty nearly
all of our products are carried in vessels
flying a foreign flag. We should have
our own ships, and thus keep al home
the millions of dollars annually that now
go into the pockets of foreign ship-own-
ers.
And there is no better place for a ship
~ he
nah. The reason is that this city is COM
paratively close TO Birmingham, where
iron and steel, the chief shipbuilding ma
terials, are made at less cost than else
where in the world. 1t is certain that
ships cannot be built at Chester as cheap
ly as they could be here. That place has
no advantages over this for the shipbuild-
ing industry.
II seems to us that our business men
should take steps at once to have ship
yard established here. There is no lack
of money. 1t is said that Savannah banks
have nearly 100000 on deposit in the
| banks of New York. There is therefore
plenty of money held here for investment
in industries which promise a fair return
on the money put into them
No doubt If the right kind Of effort were
made a great deal of outside capital could
be obtained for ship yard What is nee
essary is an effort to inform outsiders
of the advantages which this city possesses
for a ship yard. If our business men
should take the matter up we have no
doubt that they would meet with crafty
| ing encouragement

Took His cnstom Elsewhere.

lad.
The chemist was not overjoyed when he
found how small the order was for which
he had been so rudely awakened from his
slumbers but, taking pity on the sufferer
he dressed himself and went downstairs
to supply the much-desired relief. While
measuring the drug he could not help in
dulging in a growl at the lad.

nantly, nursing his jaw, to wake up some

A Prince as Coal HEAVIER.

There is at times excuse for incredulity.
A certain representative of the Sultan of
Turkey on one occasion was perhaps to
be excused for unbelief, says the Youths
Companion.
1t was when the Duke of York-now the
heir to the English throne, and the com
mander of a battleship-was a young mid
shipman, and his ship was In Turkish wa
tiers. The story is vouched for by Admit
raj Sir Frederick Bedford, under whom
Prince George served.
The vessel called at a Turkish port to
coal, and during the operation a repre-
sentative of the Sultan came to pay his
respects TO his royal highness. He was
courteously received by the captain, but,
in response, said that it was for the Prince
his visit was intended
81 am in command said Sir Frederick
land the Prince is an officer, but here he
comes"
At that moment the Queens grandson
who was in command of the coaling par
ty, and who was noted for energy in the
performance Of his duties, came up. That
he was in command of the coaling party
needed not to be explained to the visitor
The fact was apparent. He was as black
as any of the men.
The Turk turned away in disgust, re
fusing to believe that he was face to face
with an English Prince, and left with the
conviction that he had been hoaXed.

sample Testimony.

In the Kennedy trial. for the murder of
Dolly" Reynolds, the colored elevator
boy, was recalled to the witness stand, says
the New York Press. He declared that
his memory was better than on the night
of the murder. He hadn't forgotten a
thing. Everything was fresher in his
mind than when he first gave testimony
months ago.
"You say that you took bottle of
champagne to the room?" queried the at
torney.
"Yas, sab, a quart O. chamnage."
do you recolect the brand of that
champagne?"
81 sho'ly do, sab. I amt fergit nothin'
Hit wuz er bottle O. Mumm."
"Mumm? Are you certain about that?
You are sure your memory is fresher than
when you were on the stand before?"
"Oh, yas sab. Dey cain be no stake
bout it bein' Mumm."
The stenographer's notes of the trial
were produced, pages rapidly turned over
and the boys previous statements under
oath read: You say that 1t was a bot
tie of Mumm; here in your previous tes-
timony you swore just as positively that
it was a bottle. of Pommery. Now which
statement is correct? How do you recon-
Gle the two?''
The boy twisted and squirmed before
speaking. Then: "Fo' God, boss, 1 done
