PhxSic for TwcINe.

About lunch time one day lately young
gentleman entered the shop of confec-
TONER, and, standing at the counter, with
considerable gusto discussed pretty large
tart says Spare Moments. He rendered
10 the woman in charge shilling to pay
for his repast which coin she had to take
TO a neighboring shop to obtain change.
Left alone with the Viands, our friend
found his appetite return, and ne proceeded
10 help himself to some small, neatly twist
ed altogether very enticing- looking ging-
er snaps which day convenient" He had
deVoured twelve of these, each being only
bite, when the shopkeeper returned.
The gentleman pointed to the salver by
way of inquiring what was the damage,
and was rather surprised by the exclama-
ton:
Guide save us! Ye haena eaten ony O.
thae snaps"
Just twal O. them" said the youth.
What for no?'
What for no! Because they're medicine
for BARNS; ilka yin's a dose for a wean, it
has twa grains o julep and grain O. cal

1t was enough. How. much he paid, or
whether he paid al all, we never heard,
and how he spent the afternoon we know
not; but next day he was seen wandering

coRN As AN ARTICLE OF FOOD.

The Secretary of Agriculture says the
corn crop of this year will be the largest
on record, amounting to probably twenty
five hundred millions of bushels In view
of this. il is not TO be wondered at that
corn prices have shown a downward ten
dency. There will, of course, be a large
demand for corn for feeding purposes but
If reports from Chicago and Kansas city
are to be credited, that demand viii not
be as large as 1t should be- for the reason
that there is a scarcity of cattle and stock
to be fed Meats are high, however, and
exceptional efforts will be made to turn as
much corn as possible into meat. Much
corn will be absorbed in this manner, but
there will be stin left a large amount for
expectation.
1t has often been asserted that the for
eign consumption of corn is not nearly as
large as it should be, and various efforts
have been made to introduce the grain as
an article of diet among the laboring class
es of Europe. The measure of success of
these efforts has been comparatively small.
the aforesaid laboring classes adhering to
their loaves of wheat and rye. Why, it
may be asked, are not similar missionary
efforts put forth in our own country? DO
we consume all of the corn that we might
with benefit to both our pockets and our
health? In the South and West corn
bread is a common article of diet In
greater part of the South hominy is eaten
at least once and often twice each day. at
breakfast and supper. But in the East
both corn bread and hominy are rarities.
Corn is seldom served on the table except
in the green state, either on the cob or
from cans. And corn when green
is less nutritious and healthful than
at any other time. The average
resident Of the East eats wheat
at each meal He knows nothing of
the delights of corn pone," or corn fritz
ters, or corn dodgers or any Of the doz-

II is now reported that Congressman
elect Roberts OF Utah, The famous polyg-
amous member of the coming lower house.
has vanished from that state, perhaps,
not to return. Charges have been lodged
against him, il is stated two of which are
felonies and two misdemeanors, all based
upon his polygamy the intention being to
case of failure to convict in Utah, should
ne be arrested and carried back there by
extradition or otherwise, it is asserted that
the affidavits in these cases will be
brought to the attention of Congress. with
a view to preventing his taking his seat in
there is any possible way to do il. Rob-
erts learned of the plans for his arrest
just before his departure, and t seems that
this knowledge caused his flight from the
state II the Utah state authorities would
only take hold of the matter and see to
il that he is brought back and prosecuted
it might be that Congress would be re-
lieved entirely from the anticipated trouble
which is now gathering in the form of
protests from every section of the coun-
try against the seating of the polygamous
congressman. Since the arrest and con-
viction in Utah some months ago of Angus
M. Cannon on the charge of polygamy, il
is said that Roberts has feared that his
belief is that he has gotten out of the
way principally for the purpose OF avoid
ing arrest and prosecution.

DEWEY WILL COME.

There are good roasons for thinking that
Admiral Dewey win honor Savannah with
a visit. One of the best of them is his
prompt reply TO Acting Mayor Tiedeman's
telegram saying that he would meet the
invitation committee in Washington on
Wednesday. As man of good judgment
as well as of prompt action, the Admiral
would have stopped the committees pro-
posed visit to hand him the invitation If
he had not pretty well made up his mind
that he would accept il, The fact that he
has fixed the date for the interview, know
ing what it is that the committee wishes
10 say to him, is good evidence that he
will not say no to his Savannah friends
II Is now in order TO make preliminary
arrangements in anticipation of the act
ual acceptance of the citys invitation His
greeting by Savannah should be so hearty
so cordial, so sincere, that the great Ad-
miral will always remember it with pleas
ure. And we have not The slightest doubt
that it is Just that sort of reception he
will receive, and the spirit of which he
will recprocate.

Toledo, o., is trying to usurp Philadel-
phia' 5 name the "City of Brotherly Love"
The Toledo City Council passed a resolu-
ton on this subject the other day that
looks like one of Mayor Jones' campaign
documents. The resolution "whereases''
that as the city of Philadelphia has ceased
the practice of virtue and brotherly love,
and is now engaged in dividing up the
emoluments of office, and that Toledo is
regarded everywhere as the first point in
the country to recognize the universal
brotherhood of man. that it be Resolved,
BY the Common Council of the city of To-
ledo, that the country at large and the
citizens thereof, be and are hereby in
vited to refer to Toledo and 10 Toledo only
as the City of BrOtherly Love- and that
they cease from applying the title else
where, particularly to Philadelphia"
Philadelphia may rise to ask if Toledo is
carrying out those self-asserted principles
of brotherly love in seeking 20 fitch the
good name she has so long borne. in spite
of Martin and Quay.

Two Rags Better.

There's a small boy uptown who judges
things as he seSs them, says the Washing
ton Post. The square adjoining that on
which he lives was roped off a couple of
weeks ago on account of the presence of
diphtheria among some children in house
on that square. The boy regarded the
ropes and the white rags fiuttering there
from with added interest because one of
the boys down with the disease was a
schoolmate of his. one morning last week
the youngster noticed that two of the
white rags out of the half-dozen that had
been hanging from the rope nearest his
had probably fallen off or been mischiev-
ousTy cut Off by some lad with a pocket
knife. The little chap hustled into the
house.

THE G. ANn A. PETITIoN.

The. Georgia and Alabama Railway
Company petitions CITY Council to grant
it the right 10 lay a steam railroad track
along Stewart street to West Broad, thence
on that street to Williamson. and thence
on Williamson 10 Bay. and on Bay street
10 the city Exchange; together with a
spur track beginning at the Intersection of
West Broad street and Bay lane. and
thence along Bay lane 10 Bun street.
1t is desirable that the railroad shall be
granted every privilege it needs that is
not inconsistent wi h the rights and privi-
leges Of the citizens. It is desirable also
that facilities shall be provided for the
prompt handling of The citys rail shipping
by the quickest and cheapest means posi-
BILE But in considering the petition of the
railroad company, extreme care should be
taken to guard public interests.
West Broad street is one of the cltys
Principal and busiest thoroughfares. 1t is
now occupied by double-track street car
line in addition to which il is usually
crowded with trucks, wagons, hacks. car
riages and other vehicles. And it is des-
tined 10 be an even buster street than it is
now. AS the city grows and the western
section develops, West Broad street win
become more and more crowded with vehi-
cles.
Bay lane is very narrow. Two wagons
can hardly pass in it, IL is a matter of
frequent occurrence when three or more
vehicles start through the lane that a jam
occurs. To put train of railroad cars into
il would mean to completely close it 10 all
other traffic. The blocks crossed by the
lane are short and train of ordinary
length run into it would stop traffic on
both Barnard and Whitaker streets. And
there would be great and ever present dan
ger of the railway locomotive or train sud
denly emerging from the narrow lane upon
a street car laden with passengers, on
Whitaker street or Barnard.
track down the Strand on Bay street
would unquestonably be an addition to
the commercial facilities of the city, and
there is room enough and 10 spare in that
vacant space to accommodate one or more
tracks. And there ought not to be any in
superable obstacle to reaching that space
by some route other than West Broad
street. If, for instance, West Boun-
Diary street were taken towards the
river from the company's freight
depot, and the entrance to Will
hanson street and Bay were made
through some unimportant street of the
northwest section, the street traffic would
not be interfered with. there would be a
diminution of possible danger to life and
limb and Of accidents at street car cross
ings.
City Council will, of course. give careful
consideration to all of the points involved
due importance to the facts that
West Broad street is needed by the public
of the city, and that there is neither room
in Bay lane for steam railroad track nor
demand for such track.
