Walter Satterlee the New York art
ago, his guests being exclusively of the
fashionable world. Among the artistic Gu
rios on which most praise was showered
was curiously carved ivory tankard over
800 years old and very valuable. Next
morning Mr.. Satterlee found that the
tankard had disappeared with his guests.
Mrs. Taylor wife of the Republican
Governor in Kentucky, is described as "a
woman of nerve without nerves" Noun
tain born and bred she is provincial in
manner and speech. 1t is told of her that
when she first took possession of the eX-
edutive mansion at Frankfort three soci-
ETY. women called upon her in due form
and that Mrs. Taylor showed somewhat
unnecessary disregard of social usage by
receiving them in soiled gown and blue
check bingham apron.
While stopping at stratford-on-Avon
recently Marie Coreln, the novelist, was
much annoyed by almost continuous piano
practice in female seminary across the

addressed a somewhat snappy note to the
principal of the school, asking that during
piano practice the windows be closed The.
schoolmistress replied that if the music
would prevent the composition of another
such book as Coreln's The Sorrows of
SATAN she would cheerfully order anoth-

The writer's of the elaborate obitua-

an extract from a speech which he made

sity when that institution wanted to make
him Lord Rector: What in the DEVILS
name have you to do with either Mr.
Disraen or Mr.. Gladstone? You are stu
dents at the university, and have no more
business with politics than you have with
rat catching. Had you ever read ten
words of mine with understanding, YOU

Society kIeptomaniacs.

One of the leading jewellers of this
city, says the New York Telegraph, was
somewhat taken aback the other day by
receiving from the wife of a high official
an order for half a dozen gold nails with
a jewel in the head of each. and a dozen
small god chains. He inquired the use to
which the nails We're to be put, when his
patron said:
you see, have a number of valuable
objects of art which, although they are
expensive, are small and easily handled.
As the wife of an official of the govern
ment l am obliged to open my house dur
ing the season to the constituents of my
husband and the Washington curiosity
seeking public in general. on my recep-
ton day, therefore, my house is crowded
with all sorts of people, and last winter
l suffered the loss of several of my most
valuable treasures
Il have long been trying to devise some
plan by which 1 can keep my objects of
art outside of my cabinets and yet not
have them stolen. for that is the only
word l can use in regard to the loss of my
treasures. l have concluded that | must
either nail down some of the bric-a-brac
or chain it securely on the table, and
hence l am going to try this remedy
That is why L want these nails and
chains"
This woman's predicament is not an I'M
usual one in Washington official circles
The kleptOmaniacs who commit the most
aggravated deIredations are for the most
part well known leaders in society.
Last winter social circles in Washing
ton were greatly bewildered and shock
ed by the doings of one of the best known
women in official circles A number of
hostesses began to miss valuable doilies
from their dinner tables after they had
given luncheons or dinners, and finally
several of them got together and compar-
ed notes and suspicion fell upon one of
the women who had been the guest at
luncheons given by those gathered at the
conference
Finally, the wife of a prominent diplo-
mat determined to stop the raid upon the
doilies and at the next luncheon she seat
ed the suspected kleptomaniac next to
her. When the doilies were brought on
she watched her guest and discovered t. at
the latter had laid her dolly on the table,
and, carelessly dropping her handkerchief
over it, picked up both. The hostess, in
most charming manner, turned to her
guest and said: Pardon me- my dear
Mrs. ---, but I am afraid you have my
most exquisite dolly in your handkerchief.
1t is so fine | am afraid it will be crushed
and therefore call your attention to your
inadvertence in taking it up with your
handkerchief"
The guest was not in the least abashed
and with laugh she shook out her hand
kerchief and the dolly fell back on the
table. whereupon she exclaimed
why, dear me, so 1 have! How careless
of mep'
There were insignificant glances all
around the table, but no more doilies were
lost during that season.

rHE INnrsrRIAL ETFoRT.

The organizing of an industrial com
mfttee for the purpose of promoting the
manufacturing interests OF Savannah is
attracting a great deal of attention
throughout the country. and many other
cities and towns are taking Steps along
similar lines A considerable number of
inquiries has been received 10y the com
mlttee, inquiring as to the probability of
securing capital for factories here. The
matter has not yet progressed to point
at which satisfactory replies may be made
to the queries.
The committees on subscriptions to the
industrial aid fund will probably com
mence their canvass this week. Upon the
results of their labors will depend the
ques ton of developing the city's interests
on the proposed new lines.
There is no room for questioning that
there is a plenty of money in Savannah
seeking investment. Hundreds of thou
sands Of dollars are sent away from this
city every year to be invested in manu-
featuring and other enterprises in other
cities and sections. Some of this money
goes to Florida for phosphate mines and
tobacco factories; some of it goes 90 the
Caroliuas and Middle and North Georgia
for cotton mills; some Of it goes 20 Ala
bama and Tennessee for the coal, iron,
steel coke and lime industries, and yari
Gus other sections get a share of it. Is
there any good reason why the people of
Savannah should send their surplus wealth
away for investment, when it can he
made to earn good returns a home? And
terest for its owners, is it not better that
It should be contributing to the upbuild-
ing of their home city?
The constant drain on the surplus earn
ings of Savannah, represented by invest
ments elsewhere. if permitted to go on un-
checked, would ultimately be attended
with serious results. The source of the
city's wealth producing capacity would
be dried up and a steady outgo of capital
could only be followed by an outgo of
population and trade. 1t is only a ques
ton of time when the drain would be seri-
ously felt by merchants, bankers, land
lords, employers and laborers; and our
losses would be the gains of other locali-
ties
1t is to be hoped the plan outlined by
the committee appointed at the citizens
meeting will result in the raising of the
amount of money required 20 put Savan-
nah among the leaders in the industrial
development that is now at hand. The
association as organized is tentative, and
those who put in their money can, when
they are ready. take charge of the or-
ganlzation and give it's work such direc-
ton as theY see proper.

A PERSISTENT sPOOK.

Like Banquo's ghost, the proposition to
purchase certain lands for new city Gem
etery will not down. The cause of the
activity of this spook, which is always
bobbing up-not among tombstones or
other iegitmately ghostly surroundings
but in the City Councils something
which only those who are initiated can
understand.
The cost of a new cemetery would not
consist solely in the price paid for the
land. To that expense would have to be
added the cost of laying out roads, land
scape gardening. fencing, and many other
incidental items. All told the cost would
run up into the tens of thousands of dol
lars. This money would have to come
out of the taxes. And then there would
be an added expense to those having re-
lations or friends to bury by reason of
the increased cost of transportation to a
cemetery several miles in the country.
The better plan to be pursued would be
to enlarge Laurel Grove by acquiring the
lands adjoining the cemetery on the Ogee-
chez road, and also the old Battery Park
The unused lands already belonging to
the city extend down to the Minis swamp
canal. Add to this the tracts mentioned
and Laurel Grove would give ample room
for all interments that viii be made in
the city cemetery for the next half cen
fury. 1t should be borne In mind that a
very considerable number of the city's
dead are buried in the Catholic Gene
terry, in Bonaventure and in the grounds
for colored people at Laurel Grove
The efforts of City Council should be
directed towards serving the convenience
of the people and protecting the public
funds from unnecessary expenditures
This could be done by charging Laurel
Grove in the manner pointed out. The
new cemetery scheme means a large ex-
penditure in addition to the purchase
price of the lands, and consequently more
! taxation.

GORMAN For CHAIRMAN.

During the meeting of the Democratic
National Committee in Washington last
week there was considerable talk of the
advtsabilty of making ex-senator Arthur
P. German, chairman of the committee
A new committee will of course, be ap-
pointed by the national convention,
thought it is probable that it will include
many of the present members Mr. Cor
man is regarded as one of the shrewdest
politicians in the country, and. as a cam
paign manager. has displayed ability Of
the highest order. While it is true that he
has not favored the 16 to idea, he sup7
ported Mr. Bryan in 1896 and will sup
pout the ticket that will be nominated at
Kansas City.
There was meeting of the most prom
inent leaders of the Democratic party, at
his house in Washington, the day before
the meeting of the national committee
The political situation, as viewed from
the Democratic standpoint was carefully
considered 1t is said that the conclusion
was reached that the prospect for the
success of the Democrats was excellent,
provided their campaign was well and
wisely managed. 1t was the very general
opinion of those present that the Repub-
licans were making issues on which the
Democrats would have far the better
showing before the people
There is a strong feeling among the
present members oc the National Com
mittee in favor of retaining Chairman
Jones in his present position There is no
doubt that he did remarkably well with
! the resources he had at his command in
the last national campaign. Since then he
has acted with wisdom and discretion If
he desires TO retain the position the prob
ability is that he will be reelected. but it
is certain that he would not care to have
it If he felt that any considerable number
Of the party leaders preferred some one
else.
AS far as known there has been no
movement to put Mr.. German the head
of the committee, ana it is not known
/ that he would accept the place if ID were
offered to him. There is no doubt how
ever that in the opinion Of some OF the
shrewdest politicians and safest counsel
| ers in the party Mr.. German is the best
man that could be selected to manage the
| partys campaign.

GOLD MINING IN GEORGIA.

1t Is very probable that within the next
two or three years Georgia will attract
attention as a gold-producing state. The
Dahlonega Gold Mining and Milling
Company, which has been organized IN
der the states laws. with a capitalize
ton of $2,5O0,OOO, is ready to begin opera
tions.
The company has had the gold fields CT
the state very thoroughly explored by
gold mining @xperts, and is satisfied that
the mines itscontrols viii be found to be
richer than most of those of the Klon-
dixie.
There has been great deal of gold
mined in Georgia. The working of the
mines gradually ceased however, because
of the finding of richer gold fields in
California Colorado and elsewhere. There
are far better processes for extracting
gold from the ore now than when the
Georgia mines were worked years ago.
Low grade ores that were almost valueless
then are very valuable now. At present
there is very considera bic activity in all
of the gold mining districts of the state,
and it is understood that several stamp
mills will soon be put in operation.
The Dahlonega Company is composed OF
Chicago and st. Louis capitalists, and it
is prepared to expend a large amount of
money in developing its property. 1t would
be a big advertisement for Georgia if her
mines Were to yield several millions or
dollars in gold annually.
