1t is related, on the authority of DIR.
Edward Everett Hale, that a wealthy
gentleman, known to him, has for sew
eral years past been paying the college
expenses of various young women who
had no claims upon his bounty other
than those his generosity prompted.
They were selected-presumably at his
desire-from those pupils of the pub
lie schools, who, in the opinion of their
instructors, were most worthy and best
fitted to pursue a college career. This
year several of them graduated at
various women's colleges, and but n
of their number wrote to their bene-
factor to express thanks and gratitude.
This seems ungracious and almost in
credible. PAY that thou owest," al an
injunction, has a wider application
than to mere monetary Indebtedness,
and benefits forgot and unpaid in
gratitude, proclaim niggardliness OF
soul, as we'll as lack of high principle.

Newspaper correspondents writing
from Berlin state that two more re-
markable cures of blindness by means
of electricity as applied by Professor
Stein are reported. A nan who for
fourteen years has been totally blind
is now able to read coarse print. A
girl Of 10 who has been blind for fve
years Is now able to walk about and
recognize friends. Several other cases
have been reported where persons
partly blind have been enabled to see
perfectly. Professor Stein has been
working on the idea for thirteen years,
and eight years ago invented an cleo
trical appliance by which the blind can
be made to see lights. Since then he
has been experimenting with more
practical results. The appliance which
the professor claims to have invented
at once makes the blind see. He then
adjusts a glass Of proper focus, as one
does an opera or field glass. Though
Professor Stein has spent a fortune In
developing and perfecting his inven-
ton, he declares he will cure the poor
free and look to the rich for his fees.

FIGHT OVER PILoTAGE FEES.
Pilots on st. Andrews Bar Claim
They DO Not Make a Living.


Brunswick, Feb. 3.-There was a spirit
ed meeting of the Pilot Commissioners of
Brunswick and the st. Andrews bar In
this city yesterday, and some matters of
the greatest Importance to the shipping
interests of the port were thoroughly dis
cussed.
In way the commercial relations be-
tween Savannah and Brunswick and the
Satilla river figured largely in the discus
sions. on the following lines: 1t seems
that some years ago rule was adopted
by the PILOT Commissioners that vessels
that were chartered for Savannah or which
went to Savannah for cargoes and after
ward came to Brunswick under orders
were not to be charged plotage over the
Brunswick bar, except for one way The
idea seemed to be that when a vessel had
paid pilOtage into Savannah she should nor
be required to pay pilotage both in and
out of Brunswick. and the rule was made
to help commerce between the two ports.
The same rule applied to vessels bound
up the Satilla river that came into Bruns-
wick to load.
At recent meeting applica-
ton was made to the commits
sioners to abolish the pllotage up the
Satilla river altogether where the vessel
Sa'AS iito DIutlSWlck IN good faith and
atterward changed her charter This an
piication did not meet with the approval
of the majority of the commissioners. ana
was also objected to by the pilots as
being unfair TO them The pilots on the
st Andrews bar claim now that at half
pllotage they do not make enough to keen
boat going, and applied for the privi-
lege of boarding vessels from a skiff after
sighting them from their lookout on land
Ihis application was refused them. but
they are practically ahead so far on the
proposition TO abolish the Satilla river
pilotage altogether
Those who are fighting the pilotage claim
that 1t is unfair to vessels that come a.
brunswick and then have to change their
charter for the Satilla, while those who
are supporting the commissioners rules
claim that under the way now proposed n
would be possible for many vessels 20 slim
IN ana not pay such charges as would be
perfectly legitimate.
The claim is also made by those who are
nghtng the Satilla pilotage from Brrns-
WICK that the commissioners have not
upheld their rules in regard to II and
that decision they recently rendered in q
particular case should hold good In ALI
cases. The commissioners claim that tbev
are acting according TO the law ana re-
Iuse 10 change their rules. 1t is now tba
intention of the commissioners. to consult
an attorney and see what legal rights tbe,,
nave ana act accordingly

The Wrightsville and Tennille which
has absorbed the Oconee and Western
Railroad, has put on through trains from

ule. Mr.. NJ. V. Mahoney, the passenger
agent for the Oconee and Western, Is COM
mercial agent for the Wrightsville and
Tennille, and his many friends here are
glad that he is still with the road.
Those who are in a position to know
say that the Wrightsville and TennilIe
will soon be exteii,ieti 10 Perry, a distance
of twenty-five miles. Half of this dis
lance is graded now
The farmers in this section have done
but little farm work, and scarcely any
fertilizers have been brought here Vet
Very little has been shipped here, ana I'M
less the farmers act differently from what
they say, the sales this year win be very
short
