COLOR LINE At NEW ORLEANS.
The Crew of the Cruiser New Orlean,
VIII Have to Dine Alone.

VIII Have to Dine Alone.
NEW ORLEANS, May 2S-The race
question has caused trouble in the re-
ception Of the cruiser New Orleans at
this city. The cruiser came here to re-
ceive a silver service and silver bell
from the citizens of the city for which she
Mas named, and various entertainments
lad been arranged for her officers and
crew.
At the time she was sent South atten-
lion was called TO the fact that she had
a larger number Of negroes in her crew
than any other vessel in the navy, and
fears were expressed that this fact might
cause embarrassment. The question was
precipitated to-day by the request of the
committee representing the various COM
mercial exchanges of New orleans, which
have rendered banquet TO the crew Of
the man-of-war on Thursday and Fri
day, that the races should be separated
at the dinner Mr.. Breaux. president Of
the Board Of Trade, informed Captain
LOngnecker that a dinner in which
negroes and white men participated to-
gether would offend the public sentiment
Of the city. and asked whether it would
not be possible TO separate the races.
Captain Longnecker replied that no such
distinction could be drawn I'm the navy,
ana that the crew would have to be
taken as il came.
The committee will accept this decision
but will change the programme. 1t had
been arranged to invite a number of resi-
dents Of New Orleans to the dinner, and
some addresses were TO have been made
there. This plan has been abandoned.
az the committee will not ask any one
20 eat with negroes. The crew alone will
be at the dinner and there will be no
speeches. The contract for the banquet.
strange TO say, has been awarded 10 a
hotel which has drawn the color line 10
the extent of not having negro In it's
cmploy-nOt even a porter.

the incident of the hosting of the British
flag over Port Royalist, Island of Pala-

its continuation tonight, at Boyd's opera

Of "CyranO de Bergerac."
The Admiral entered the theatre about
ten minutes before the curtain rose, and
the immense audience rose and cheered
TO the echo. He responded TO the greet
ing by bowling. but this was not sufficient
as the audience kept up the applause
until he rose and made a brief speech.
At the close of the first act the ovation
began again and continued for fully ten
minutes 1t eliminated when Mayor
Moore leaped upon the stage and pro-
posed three cheers for the hero OF San
tiago. The response nearly raised the
roof and Schley had 10 make another

THREE HEATS TO BE SAILED.
WHEN SAVANNAH AND CHARLES
TON YACHTS TRY FOR THE CUP.

VIII Go 10 the Club That, Through
Any Entry, Wins Two Out of the
Three Heats-LarchmOnt Rules
VIII Govern the Race-SaiIing
Committee From the Savannah
Club VIII Manage 1t.
No date has been settled upon for the
race between the Dragon or other Savan-
nah Yacht Club boat and that which is to
be built at the North for the Carolina
Yacht Club. II is said, however, that the
race will be sailed about the last of June,
or the first of July. 1t would scarcely he
practicable to have 1t earlier in the sea-
son, as the Charleston crew will want
to have some trial with the new yacht,
and she will not be received from the
builders for some months.
At the meeting held in Savannah last
Saturday by representatives of the Caro-
lima AND the Savannah Yacht Clubs it
was decided that the course should be
from an imaginary line in Wilmington

and around the buoy or stakeboat in War
saw sound in deep water on line with
the Cabbage Island red (splD buoy; re-
turning, to and around a buoy placed at
a sufficient distance up the river, so that
returning 20 the outer buoy and back to
the starting point will constitute course
of eighteen or twenty knots.
The race will be decided by the best
two in three heats won by the same club
through any of its entries. That means
the clubs may enter more than one boat,
but 1t is not improbable that there will
be only one on either side.
The rules and regulations of the Larch-
mont Yacht Club of 1899 will govern the
race. The management will be in charge
of a sailing committee of the Savannah
Yacht Club appointed by the commodore
One man will be allowed in a vessels
crew for every five feet of sailing length,
or fraction thereof, exclusive of helms,
man, pilot and club representative.
The agreement has been drawn up and
signed. The race has been arranged for,
and there remains nothing except for the
Charlestonians to secure their vessel. It
is expected that some of them will be
over for the annual regatta of the Savan-
nah club, while members of the latter will
return the compliment by going to Charles
ton for the Carolina clubs races

WANTS TO PROTECT GAME.
Many SDortsmen Sanction the Effort
of Representative Hardvick.

Legislator Hardwick of Washington
county has introduced q new game law
bill in the House. 1t is proposed 20 have
it take the place Of all previous legisla-
ton on that question. It is to protect
game birds and animals and insectivorous
and song birds. It remains to be seen, If
1t should become law whether 1t would
be any more effective than the many ef-
forts that hnye been made in The past 20
protect the game of Georgia.
A gentleman who takes a lively interest
in hunting was asked yesterday If ne
thought the proposition Mr.. Hardwick
makes to have the state constables become
game wardens, receiving 50 for every pros
ecution they cause for violation of the law
and half the fines imposed, would be ef-
fective. He replied that he did not, be-
lieying the officers will not care enough
about 1t to undertake to bring the Offend
ers to justice.
"A great deal of the hunting done around
here, the gentleman continued, is for ducks
in South Carolina waters. Even If a rig
orous game law were enforced in other
sections of the state, those in this section
would be able to go over TO South Carolina
for their shooting, though their game
could not be offered for sale, without Vio-
laiing Mr. Hardwlck's bill.
There are many sportsmen who will dis
agree with the gentleman quoted and who
will consider the proposed law an admir-
able one They would rather see the game
preserved and good shooting afforded
through a few months in the year than to
have pot hunters and all others turned
loose to prey on birds and animals In sea
son and out. They would be pleased to
see the bill become a law and to profit by
its rigorous enforcement.
The sportsman referred to says the
greatest violation of the game laws about
Savannah is during October, the month
Immediately preceding the opening of the
season. 1t is just beginning to get cold
enough then to make the exercise endur~
able, though the birds are not grown.
They fall easy victims to the hunters
guns There is the lmpediment during Oc-
tober, however, of the inability of pot
hunters to sell freshly killed partridges.
The law forbids their purchase, SO those
who violate the law by killing them fear
to offer them for sale.
Tomorrow there will be many in the
field with dogs and guns. No day in all
the year brings out so many hunters as
From time immemorahle it
seems to have b. en- the custom to so hunt
ing on that day. 1t Is seldom that large
bags are secured, all the game in the
country being scared away by such arm es
of It's hunters as appear
Many duckhoats win doubtless leave the
city tonight for rivers and inlets that are
by the visitors from the North.
Ii is rerorted that there have been large
flights of ducks during the past few days,
and those who expect to go out In quest
Of them believe they Will be successful.

SHOULD USE ANTI-ToxINE.
A Strong Resolution Adopted by the
Sanitary Board.

The use of anu-toxine as a remedy for
diphtherIa is officially recommended TO the
PEOPLE of Savannah by the sanitary board.
This action was taken at the meeting Of
the board yesterday, and the following
resolution adopted by the board was or
dered published:
Resolved, by the Sanitary Board of the
city of Savannah, That, in view of the fa-
vorabe statistics and the very small num-
ber of deaths occurring from diphtheria
where diphtheritic anti-toxine is used
promptly, il be recommended TO the pubic
that they insist upon diphthertic serum
being administered promptly in all cas- S
of diphtheria or suspicious diseases resem-
bling diphtherla.
The resolution was adopted by the Beard
after asdiscussi Of the subject by Heath
Officer Brunner and DR.. st. ]. B. Graham
both of whom strongly urged that such ac-
ton be taken
DIR. Drummer, in discussing the matter
after the meeting, said that anti-toxine IS
now generally used by the physicians Of
the city in diphtheritic cases though there
are still few who oppose lis use. AS an
evidence of the happy results attending
the use of the serum, DR.. Brunner said
that out of twenty-five cases OF diphthe-
ria occurring since July /, nineteen were
treated with the ant-toXine and more died
OF the three cases not treal ed with the
serum, two led, and there was some doubt
as to The true nature Of the disease in the
case OF the one recovering.
Statistics taken from our mortuary re-
cords show that the percentage OF mortal
ity from dlDhtheria has been greatly re-
duced since he use Of anti-toxine was m
troduced," said DR.. Drummer. Il am free
TO say with the lights before me, that
60 ffG r1hW
win not use anti-toXlne and use 1t prompt
ly."
DR.. Drummer said that one case of dph-
therla had occurred recently in which the
use Of the anti oXine had been delayed for
several days after the nature of the disease
was discovered and the consequence was
that the child died, the treatment not hav-
ing had time 70 take effect
DR.. Graham says dphtheria anti-toxine
is the serum of the blood of horses that
have been rendered immune to diphtheria
by biological and archaeological processes.
1t has been the experience of the ma
jority of physicians the world over who
use anti-toxine. he says, in the treatment
of diphtherla to find that the disease in
most cases is easily controlled. The pa
tient makes a good recovery.
With antf-toxine, DR.. Graham says, the
mortality in many places has been reduc.
ed to per cent. or less. Without anti
toxine the mortality may be 30, 4O, 5O per
cent. or more. Ant-toxine seldom does
harm of itself. 'In my opinion" the doc
tor says, "anti-toxne should be used in
all cases promptly. If in doubt as to
whether the disease were really diphtheria,
anti-toxine should be given and the dag
nosis made afterward, if necessary. De-
lay is dangerous; anti-toxine is very sell
dom so.
Opinions differ on this subject among
,Al, tote hui
on all subjects. The fact is, though, that
anti-toxine, early used cures diphtheria in
s5 per cent. of cases. That cannot be dis
puted." sr
