The Eternal City,

In recent lecture on Rome Mr..
Frederic Harrison said that the great
value of the city of Rome from the
point Of view OF general culture and
education. was that it had by far the
longest and most complete history Of
any city in the world. 1t had three
great qualities as the center Of human
culture and the development of human
civilization. 1t was the center of the
ancient world for many centuries, it
became the center Of the early Chris
tian world and for 1000 years it had
been the center Of religious pilgrim
ages, while for four or five centuries it
had been the center of poetry and art
Of the modern world. These three
great epochs together made up some
thing like 5000 years, and no city in
the world had had SO continuous a
life. Hardly a century passed without
leaving its memorial in Rome.-London

NInde to Feel at Home

One OF the old time southern negroes
Went to Boston TO make his fortune.
After a week OF walking up and down
he found himself penniless and no
work in sight. Then he went from
house to house. "Ef you please. sub"
he began when his ring at the front
door was answered. can't you give a
po' cullud man work ter do or somepin

And the polite answer invariably was.
"No, mister; very sorry, but have moth
ing for you."
Every one who answered his ring ad-
dressed him as Mr." but shut their
doors and hearts against him. -
Finally he rang the bell at a brown
stone 'front.' A gentleman appeared.
and the old man began:
"Boss, is starvin. Can't you gimme
some vittles?"
"You darned, black. kinky headed
rascal" exclaimed the gentleman.
"How dare you ring the bell at my
front door? Go round, the bac sayartl

something wrong. Then he told his
tale, which was that he was pcstered
by gangs OF gypsies who appeared cv-

come in from chasing them in his gar
den, for wherever he looked out he
saw them pulling up his shrubs.
l said: "But the shrubs are not re-

this?'
He said: well, it is hard to tell, but
l still feel they do it, and when wake
in the morning see the same gypsies
using my toothbrush and my hair
brushes. jump up, only to find they
have disappeared" He admitted the
absurdity of the whole thing, but yet
he said he felt it was true. and he
must act upon his belief.
What might have proved Il serious
loss followed the persistent hallucina-
tions, for before insisted on his with
drawing from all business he had on
one holiday gone to his office to look
through his private safe with its very
valuable securities. Before leaving lie

He Got the Gun.

Several years ago Colonel Jack Chinn
visited Texas. He brought with him
a negro valet, Sam. This negro had
been a slave in the Chinn family be-
fore the war began in the states and
idolized his young master. One night
while in Houston the darky came to
Chinn and said:
"Massa Jack, I'Ze goin out in cullud
society heah tonight, an I'd like to bor-
row dat ivory handled six shooter Of
yours to take along
why, you black rascal" returned
the colonel ''some of these Houston
coons will take that gun away from
you and break it over your headv'
The darky Strengthened up. Like his
master, he was man Of unquestioned
nerve, and there was a peculiar glitter
in his eye as he said:
"Massa Jack, you let me hab dat gun,
an if 1 don't show up heah wild hit in
de mawnin you can go down to de
morgue an throw down de sheet an
say, 'Lawd, don't he look nacherlv"

To Have Good Teeth.

All persons, old and young, should
have their teeth examined once every
six months by a competent dentist
Decay will be present and tartar form
ing which nothing but thorough ex-
animation will reveal. Professional
service rendered in time means high
class work, less pain and great econo-
my. A tooth filled when decay is slight
will not be sensitive, the operation not
long and the filling lasting, because the
operator has more and better structure
to work on. He is enabled to make
the walls of the cavity thicker and
stronger and with slight danger Of ex-
posing the nerve, the dread and fear of
all when having teeth filed Have
your teeth attended to in time. Do not
procrastinate. Give the dentist good
tooth structure to work upon and he
will render you excellent service. One

The Valet: His SODDOrtunitv-

The Comte de Brienne, talking of the
violence of some masters toward their
servants, said that on one occasion,
having corrected his valet for some
grave dereliction Of duty, he had for
gotten the matter when the next morn
ing, while shaving him, the man sud-
denly held the razor to his throat, say
ing, ''Whose turn is it today, NJ. le
Comte?'
"a moi toujours; continue" was the
calm reply.
''He finished shaving me, and we
were mutually pleased with each 9TH
err" but relations became somewhat
strained after such an incident, and
the comte gave him 100 louis and his
dismissal. "Never beat your servants,
young men," he concluded; "your lives
are at their mercy, and you would find
it hard, as I did, to owe it to one of
them."-Cornhill Magazine

They Were Safe

A punctilious southern lady was mar

trip, and his wife packed in his satchel
six shirts, exactfng a promise that he
would wear fresh one every day. He
returned home in due course, and the
good housewife proceeded to unpack
the bag. Lo, not one of the shirts was
there!
'What's the matter, John?" she ask
ed in great perturbation. 'NWhere are
all the shirts I gave you"
John protested that he had followed
orders and put on clean one every
day, but what happened to them he
did not know. He retired down stairs
to think out the problem. Ten minutes
later an excited face was thrust into
the room, and a happy voice rang out

WILENSKY HEARING PUT OFF.
Commissioner VIII Hear Evidence
on Monday Afternoon.

The preliminary hearing in the case of
NJ. Wilensky, which had been set by
United States Commissioner Lewis for
yesterday afternoon, was postponed, upon
motion of counsel for Wilensky, until
the same hour on Monday.
Wilensky had been arrested upon war
rant issued by the commissioner for a
violation of the twenty-ninth section of
the bankruptcy law. 1t is charged that
he secreted from the receiver about $1,000
of the goods and assets of the Savannah
Shoe and Dry Goods Company, of which
he was the manager The troubles that
this company has had in its efforts to re-
lieve itself of the incubus of its debts
and the difficulty experienced by When
sky in convincing the defunct corpora
TONS creditors that his actions were
above reproach or suspicion are familiar
to the newspaper readers of Savannah
1t is understood that there is a compro-
mise agreement in the air, and that the
creditors may possibly be induced to ac-
cept a sum of money equal to so per
cent of their claims. Other compromises
that have been offered in the past have
been refused, and it is possible that this
one will also fail of acceptance.

CAKE WALK FOR PRIZES.
Jolly Entertainment at Catholic Lii
brnry Hall.

An interna tional cake walk was given
a the Catholic Library Hall last night FOR
the benefit of the Little Sisters of the Poor.
The programme consisted of two songs
by Mr.. S Smith, cake walk in which the
performers walked both individually and
in couples, and general dancing and re-
freshments.
In the walk, which furnished the princi-
pal part of the affair, there were ten en-
tries, Miss Leila Fowler, and Messrs.
Charles E. Seamon, Frank Finney, James
Rafferty,, c. ]. White Sam Brown, Charles
Penfeld, William Riley, Sam B. Smith and
George Johnson.
The performers were allowed each five
minutes of individual walking, and then
they walked in couples.
Many of the participants in the walk
were really excellent, and went through
the entire gamut of strides, steps and
prancings that are said by commissioners
10 be the correct thing in this, the rag
time branch of the Terpsichorean art.
After considerable elaboration the
Judges awarded the prizes as follows.
First prize, a gold medal to Mr. S. b.
Smith; second prize, for team work, con-
sisting of silver match box pearl ham
dled knife, and a I'VE pound box of can
dy, to Miss Fowler and Mr.. Smith; the
third prize for the most graceful dancer
went to Mr. Sammy Brown; while the
fourth, for The most up-to-date costume

them a neckCie, twenty-five cigars, two
tickets to the fireman's picnic at Tybee, a
two-months ticket in pressing club, and
a ticket for the half-soling, and heeling
of a pair of shoes
The performance was well a tended con-
si3ecing the very warm weather, and the
benefciaries will realize a verey good sum
from the sale of tickets and refreshments.
Raskiu's orchestra furnished the music
for both the cake walks and the general
dance that followed.
