She assented with a nervous little nod
and cast frightened glance at the win

NO no, nor she cried, springing to
her feet and extending her futtering
hands as though to keep me back by main
strength.

getting the better of my politeness as a
volume of objurgation and profanity came
through the window in an entirely unex-
purgated edition.

Trials of the Lunch Man.

No easy life has the old colored man who
caters to the gastronomic wants of the

old man always carries a basket filled

There's new coon" in the sporting
world. He is Joe Walcott. One night last
week he whipped Joe Choynsk quickly
and thoroughly and the feat has made
him famous. WalcOtt is 5 feet IL inches
high and at the time of the fight weighed
lao pounds. Choynski is almost 6 feet and
weighed 10 pounds. He is known as an
extremely clever fighter, and stands pretty
close to the man who wears the champion

How Dan Rice Paid for n Tent.

One story Of Dan Rice the veteran cir
Gus clown, who died Thursday, illustrates
his strict sense of honesty and gra titude
for favors, says the New York Mail and
Express Once he was stranded in Cincn-
natl. the story goes, and was una BILE TO
start a show on the road because he had
no tent and could not raise money to buv
one. The tent Rice needed would be
worth $500. The manager of tent con-
Germ sent for the clown one morning, and.
taking him to the factory, showed a big
tent that was just finished. Rice looked at
it with hungry eyes. He turned away with
a sigh.
Fine tent don't you Think" asked the
canvas maker
Rice looked back at 1t over his Shout
der with another deep sigh
It's yours" said the tent man.
Rice was like playful kitten in an in
slant.
Il believe there is a lot of money in you
yet" said the canvas man. you take
that tent and start your show, and if you
ever get money enough to pay me for 1t
the price is $500"
Within two weeks Rice was on the road
with a show, and began a successful ca
reer. For fifteen years he never referred
to the tent, although he often met the
man who mad it, One afternoon he asked
the tent man to be his guest at one of his
shows, then in Cincinnati. The two sat
looking on and Rice Remarked:
Fine show don't you thnk?''
The canvas man declared that it certain
ly was
by the way" added Rice there's thai
$500 I owe you" He took a roll of bills
out of his pocket and handed it to the tent
| maker, who pocketed it without unrolIine
it. The old tent man loved to relate this
story and always declared that the great
men of this country were P. T. Barnum

After war the song of Peace

S. E. Kiser in Chicago Times Herald.
Dark drifts of clouds shut out the sky.
The air is rent with sounds of strife;
My brother marches forth to die,
Or take some fellow mortal's life
The Peace the world has waited for
Shrinks pale behind the skirts of War!
Across the plains the ruts are deep
Where engines of destruction passed;
The blinds are drawn where orphans weeI
And blood is flowing free and fast:
The hills give back the lannon's roar:
The Song Of Peace is heard no more!
My brother mocks me in his heart,
l blame him for the stand he takes;
The world Christ saved is rent apart,
And every tie that bounds us breaksl
The war god shrieks, the sabre CLEANS.
And crimson streaks are in the streams!
But God was reignng in the sky
When David went to smite his foa;
And God is regnlng still on high.
And still inspiring men belowl
And when the sounds of battle cease.
And when the work of War is DER
Then shall the hopeful Song of Peace
Swell higher, clearer than before!

THE CONSTITUTION AND THE FLAG

Does the constitution follow the flag?
That is the question which the United
States courts are now asked to decide
The case is that of A. S. LasceIles e
Co, of New York, importers of Porto
Rican products against the collector of
the port of New York.
1t is said that this firm and ether New
York importers have paid in duties on
Porto Rican and Philippine merchandise
since the treaty with Spain went into eff
feet, and our flag was hoisted over Porto
Rico and the Philippines as American
territory, about 100000. They now want
TO know if they are not entitled to have
this money paid back to them, on the
ground that the constitution says that
ali duties shall be uniform throughout the
United States. They contend that the con-
stitution follows the flag. 1t was so held
in the celebrated California case, and
that decision has been followed by the
courts.
The suit of the foregoing firm of i'm
porters is not for the return of duties
paid. but for an injunction against the
collector to prevent him from collecting
against the government, then claims for
the duties paid will be filed.
Would it not be well for Congress to
hold up the Porto Rican tariff bill until
the Supreme Court is heard from? The
pending case could be advanced rapidly
and a decision obtained within a month
or two
What it is proposed to do under the
Porto Rican tariff bill is to impose on
Porto Rican products coming into our
markets one quarter of the tariff rate fix
ed by the Dingey tariff. This bill is, of
course, based on the idea that Congress
is not bound by the constitution when
legislating for territory outside of the
Union. In other words, the theory on
which the bill is supported is that the
constitution does not follow the flag. The
constitution can get where the flag is,
when new territory is acquired, only by
an act of Congress or by treaty 1t is
very probable that the Supreme Court
will hold that this theory is wrong
If it should hold that it is wrong then
the President will be in the position of
usurping power. He has been ordering
tariffs to be paid and he has been setting
up civil governments in Porto Rico and
the Philippines. He has been doing this
under the theory that these countries are
still in state of war. There has been
no war in Porto Rico since the treaty
with Spain was signed. 1t looks as if the
Republicans were getting themselves into
trouble

In the death of Mr.. H. NJ. Conner this
city and state have lost one of their fore
most and most useful citizens For over
thirty years a resident of Savannah, he
was for a quarter of a century in the
front rank of her business men, and for al
most a decade his name was familiar
one throughout the state
As a merchant, and as president Of the
Central of Georgia Railway, he had the
confidence and respect Of all who came
in contact with him. AT the very outset
of his business career he displayed quail
ties which gave assurance of success, and
these qualities become more pronounced
as ne grew older.
When he was made receiver of the Cen
tral Railroad and Banking Company, there
was: some doubt as to his fitness for the
position, because of his lack of experience
in railroad management. The earnestness
however, with which he entered this new
field of endeavor and the success which
attended his efforts from the very begin
Ming convinced those who controlled the
property that no mistake had been made.
So satisfactory was his management that
when the company was reorganlzed he was
made president of it.
And it is probable that the junior secu-
rity holders owed to him what little they
got out of the wrecked company. 1t was
his opposition to some of the features OF
the plan of reorganization that was adopt
ed that brought about an offer of better
terms to the junior creditors.
MIR. Corners services to the new COM
pany were not confined to the routine du-
ties. Much hostile legislation was threat
ened, which, owing to the reputation he
had for integrity and to the high esteem
in which he was held, he was able to de-
feat. Members of the Legislature placed
confidence in his word and judgment, and
with a committee of that body his sim
pie statement was often more effective
than the lengthy arguments of those
whom he opposed.
Mr.. Conner was a shreWd man of busl-
ness, but just one. No one doubted that
he would abide by any agreement he
made. There was unbounded faith that
any obligation resting on him would be
faithfully fulfilled.
He performed his part in matters re-
curing the exercise of public spirit. The
De Soto hotel is monument to his mem
DRY. He took hold of the hotel project
when it needed assistance and made it a
success.
Although still within the period of
middle life prosperous in business affairs
and happy in his domestic relations, he
received the announcement that the dis
ease with which he was afflicted would
have an early and fatal termination with
the same calm and unfiinching courage
that he had always exhibited in trials,
Affections and misfortunes
He filled a large place in his sphere OF
activity and influence, and though the part
of the world that knew him will move
along as before. he win be missed.
