BUSINESS FOR NEW LINE.
Capt. Purse VIII Solicit 1t in

Capt. Purse VIII Solicit 1t in
Charleston and Brunswick.
In a few days, as soon as he receives
specific information as to the sailing date
of the first steamship of the new line to
Cuba, Capt. d. G. Purse, who has been
appointed agent for the Southern Naviga-
ton Company a Savannah will pay WIS.,
its to Charleston and Brunswick, in its
interests.
Capt. Purse hopes to induce the cooper
alton of the business men of these cities
in the success of the line between Sa-
vannah and Havana, and to lay before
them positive and definite propositions re-
gardng rates that will insure large vol
ume of freight business from these mari
time and commercial sisters of Savannah.
Later, Capt. Purse will make a trip to
the West, in an effort to secure trade with
all of the Western marts where grain and
meats are the staples of export. He hopes
that an of these visits and all of these
solicitations will result advantageously to
the new line and to the city, and that
from the first the success of the venture
will be assured.
The companys general agents at New
York are now figuring on the rates that
will be given. These win be announced
within a short time, probably when the
first sailing of the line is advertised I'd the

MIR. EGAN THINKS SAVANNAH HAS
NOTHING TO COMPLAIN OF.

Would BE Glad to Attend Any Meet
ing of business Men aud officials.
Some of the Claims of Discrimina-
ton Are Such, MIR. Egan Says, That
They Should he Carried Before the
Commission-Comm mission Does Not
Allow Conditions That Are Alleged

vannnh,s water Rates Give Her an
Advantage.
Mr. John NJ Egan, vice president of the
Central Railroad, returned yesterday
morning from trip North. He was seen
relative to the assertions made by Mayor
Myers about discrimination the railroads
are said to practice against Savannah in
the arrangement of their freight rates
Mr.. Egan says Savannah has nothing
to complain of in its freight rates. He
does not care, he says, to enter into a
controversy upon such subjects, though
he is willing to listen to any grievance
that may be entertanea, and if 1t IS
ready to do what he can to right it.
AS to the Mayors plan for meeting
of business men and railroad officials, Mr.
Egan said that he thought 1t wise
thing He thought a satisfactory under
standing could be reached by such a
means and any impression of discrimiua-
ton removed If he should be in che city
at the time of the meeting, Mr., Egln
said he would be glad to attend
Some of the claims of discrimination
that are made, Mr.. Egan declares, are
such that if justified by the facts, should
be carried before the Railroad Commls.
sion. The commission would permit no
such conditions as are alleged to exist.
The charge that Savannah is not able 10
sell in what should naturally be her ter
rltory on account of Atlanta Macon and
Augusta enjoying better rates is denied
by MIR. Egan. Railroads are not allowed
he says, to charge any more for hauling
freight ten, twenty, thirty or 100 miles
in one part of the state than in another
and it would be manifestly impossible for
scale to obtain that would admit of
goods being shipped to Millen from At
lanta at the same rate that they are ship
ped from Savannah to Milen.
Traffic Manager e. H. Hinton of the
Central says Savannah enjoys better rates
ION tHe Fast thih any city IN the SOuth.
First class freight from New York to Sa-
vannah is shipped for So cents. while
through to Atlanta the cost is $1.14. Right
there a great initial advantage is gained
| by Savannah merchants over those of in
| terror points. On other classes of freight
the difference is pronounced and in Sa-
vannahs favor.
Mr. Hinton believes the greatest ad-
vantage held by the interior cities is that
| of their excellent surrounding territory.
Immediately at their doors Atlanta, Au-

some distance must be traversed by rail

MIR. PERRY's PIANO RECITAL.
Attended by n Large Audience at the
De Soto Banquet Hall.


Mr. Edward Baxter Perry gave his first
of his lecture recitals in the banquet hall
of the De Soto last night, and had most
enthusiastic reception. His programme
which was varied, representing all schools
of composition, was given with the
strength and charm that always charac-
terizes his playing, and many of the num-
bers were warmly applauded
The lecture recital is rather unique in
musical concerts, and Mr.. Perry is the
founder and chief exponent of this style
of entertainment. Each composition is
preceded with a short sketch of the COM
poser, the school to which it belongs to
some short story of what the music is in
tended to represent. Mr.. Perry is master
not only of the piano, but has a high
knowledge and appreciation Of the pictur-
ing power of words and many of these
short sketches were gems of their kind
and not the least enjoyable features of
the programme.
The first number of the programme was
the Beethoven's Sonata, op. 50, consisting
of three movements allegro con brio, ada
gio motto, and allegretto moderate. This
he followed with the ST. Saens arrange
ment of Beethovens Chorus of Dancing
Dervishes," a composition in which he
said Beethoven had anticipated the mod
ern realism in music. The next four num-
bers were of the lighter school and rep
resented Psychological subjects each of
which was put into words before being
represented by music. They were Pans
Flute" by GODDARD; "Dryade," by Jen-
sen; Troll Dance" by Greg, and Dance
of the Elves" by Sapelnikoff.
Probably the latter was the best played
of the four, though the Grieg number,
of which he gave his own arrangement,
was most delightfully."- played and scored
a most decided hit with the audience. His
arrangement of Die Loreilei, which fol-
lowed, was another popular number, but
the most decided success of the programme
was scored with the Schubert-Liszt ar
rangement of the 'Erl King" which he
played magnifcently. Three of the most
popular of Chopin's compositions, "Fanta-
sic Impromptu," ''Berceuse" and "Scher-
10" in fiat minor, closed the pro-
gramme.
Mr. Perry plays with brilliancy and
certainty of touch that would be wonder
full for an ordinary man; in blind one
it is marvellous.
He will give another recital this after
noon at $3.50 o'clock. and is sure to have
a large and interested audience.

DIFFERS WITH MIR. CARNEGIE.
Rev. /. y. Mendes' Lecture on the
Grent Smbmcrped

Rev. l. T. Mendes lectured at the Nick
va Israel Temple last night on 'rrhe
Great Submerged" a title that, as web
as the thought embodied in the lecture,
was suggested by an address given a few
days ago to the young men of New York
by Andrew Carnegie.
Mr.. Carnege's lecture was called ''Step-
ping Stones TO Success in Business" and
in it he stated that without doubt or
question poverty is one of the undisguised
blessings Of life, for through its influence
We are indebted for many of the greatest
men in history, that the young man who
begins life's battles without money, but
with ambition and integrity, is more like
~ to succeed than is the rich mans son.
Mr.. Carnegie further stated that it was
his belief that of every thousand dollars
given i'm charity $3.50 of it might as well
be thrown into the sea.
My admiration for Mr.. Carnegie is
SUCH" said DR.. Mendes, that l can but
regret that he should have fallen into
such a deplorable error. He makes mis-
take in not discriminating between the
different kinds of poor people, those who
are worthy of charity and those who are
unworthy of 1t, and 1T is because he has
failed to make this distinction that he lays
himself open to criticism in his somewhat
sweeping TtAudAkS.
DIR. Mendes maintained that while Mr..
Carnegie was probably right that young
man with health and ambition might
make his way in the world, though he
should start out poor, and there are many
poor who have not these natural adj
vantages, but who labor under many mis-
fortunes that they are powerEess TO pre-
vent. and which make them deserving OBJ
jects of charity.
This assistance of the needy poor. DIR.
Mendes said, is one of the steps to a high
er and loftier life and fitting tribute to
that queen of all queens Sweet Charity.
1T must, indeed, be a heart of stone that
viii not feel for these miserable human be-
ings, the great submerged, and the day
that dawns and shows US these helpless
creatures with no one to assist them that
day will show us the dethronement of one
of the brightest virtues given US by our
Heavenly Father.
But" he continued, 'by the help of God
that day will never dawn"
DR.. Mendes closed his lecture with an
earnest appeal TO his hearers not to dis
continue their charity because the world
might not think it necessary, and said
that he was sure that as soon as Mr.. Car
negie realized his error in CHASING all
kinds of poor together he, with that mag
nificent liberaity that has always char
acterized him, would join in the work of
rescuing the submerged poor.
