years and changes enough had occur
red in that time. l had on all the fin
cry with which some years of pros
perity had permitted me to adorn my
self, and l was out on the streets of
my old home city, in search of the
friends of former years. In the mar
ket saw Aunt Charlotte an old negro
woman, who once had nursed me-
''She was selling gingerbread, as
she had been when 1 had last seen her.
1t was the same old scene. The same
market, the same old stalls, the same
flies--for all I knew the same ginger
bread she had in her basket on the
day when 1 babe Savannah farewell.
Two or three of her companions in the
same business sat around and and l
stood watching them, intending in a
few minutes to tell her who I was. But
suddenly she looked up and saw me.
'Fo Cod she said, if dere amt
dat damned Johnny Lowlow. Kiver up
yo' gingerbread, chile, or he'll steal eb-
cry cake you got in de pile
Lowlow's stories of the olden time
are inexhaustible. He tells how he and
his companions used to follow the carts
of the countrymen who brought their
produce to Savannah and, unslipping
the pin, would suffer the contents OF
the carts to run out upon the ground,
an easy prey for himself and his allies
He has anecdotes of negro baptisms
in the old canal, when Rev. Marshall,
an old negro preacher, upon whom
years and the respect of the white peo-
pie of the city had brought dignity and
honor, was wont to carry his people
into the water.
The erection of the Pulaski monu-
ment and of the custom house, the
paving of Whitaker street, the first
street to be paved in the city of Savan-
nah, are all within his recollection. He
recalls the old volunteer fire companies
and the time when he, in helmet and
slicker, ran race with his company's
rivals to reach the scene of the flames
devouring fury He remembers the
great cyclone of 1854. when the city
streets ran with water and ocean
steamers were thrown and piled upon
the strand. An interesting talker is
Johnny I.owlow.
Now he is telling the people about
the attractions of John Robnson's
shows. He has been with the aggre-
cation for thirty-six consecutive years
and he thinks he knows all about the
business. 1t is probable he does.
The shows appear here on Monday
and it is his wish that the people of
Savannah shall understand there will
be no danger in sending their women
and children to any performance. I'VE
have enough trained men," he says, 10
look after their comfort and assure
their safety. We have a show that
will do them no harm and give them
much pleasure to see; a show that is
as good or better than anything on the
continent of America to-day. Let them
all come in the afternoon. If they will;
/ Will see myself that their comfort
and safety are assured"

Blood Wine Effects Interesting Cure
of Dyspepsia.

Few people know that the Standard
Oil King, whose wealth is so great that
he can't count it, but estimated to be
somewhere between two and three hun
dred millions, has been troubled for
years with serious arrangement of the
digestive organs, and while he could live
on the best the markets of the world
produced he has been compelled to exc
out an existence on bread and milk. His
case has recently been brought before
the attention of the proprietors of
"Blood Wine" who after careful study
OF his trouble decided that their remedy
would help him; and several bottles have
just been shipped to the muffin illion-
aire. If Mr.. Rockefeller takes "Blood
Wine as directed by the chemist, whose
skill figured prominently in compound
ing this splendid remedy, we shall I'M
doubtedly hear of his normal functions
being restored.

TALES OF A VETERAN CLOWN.
JOHNNY LOWLOw'S REMINISCENT
CEs OF HIS BOYHOOD.

Circus Clown of the OIden Days,
Before the Art Had Sunk to Buff
fOOnery, Recalls the Days of His
Youth in Ais Native City-He
Knew 1t when to Him the World
Was YOung-For Forty-five Years
Circus CIOwn-Thirty-six Con-
secutiveIy With John RobinsOn's
Shows.
Johnny Lowlow is in Savannah The
older generations of Savannah's citi-
zens remember him--remember the
time when they were boys and he made
their hearts glad with his jocund hui
NOR, his "quips and pranks and wan
ton wiles."
For forty-five years he was a clown
in a circus and much of the fun he has
distributed to the millions of people
who have seen him perform, he learn
ed when he was a boy on the streets
Of Yamacraw. 1t is not the clown of
the present, the bowling and tumbling
buffoon with whom present-day au
diences are acquainted, that Johnny
Lowlow has been, but man who has
kept audiences of thousands roaring
with his mirth. A clown of the elder
days, when the art consisted of some-
thing more than the ability to finch
from the blows of a split stave.
Born in Savannah, he carries in his
retentive memory many a tale of the
time when the town was young, or at
Ieasf uhar IL l7ad attained or,1x1 q Sa,,o
blance Of the sturdy majority that it
evinces now. 1t was on the corner of
Bryan and Farm streets, in the year
l841, that Johnny Lowlow first saw the
light of day. He spent his early years
in Yamacraw. The late Diminick
.O'Byrne was his guardian.
He remembers all of the history of
Savannah-the familiar history of that
time. 1t was a day when he and many
whose lives have passed into the great
beyond played the games of boys. on
the streets. There were circuses then
that fired the youthful ardor of
young Lowlow and made him yearn for
the time when he should tell stories
that would hold the listening thousands
spellbound. The time came, for in
1856 he left Savannah with the John
Robinson's shows and with the excep-
ton of a few years has been with them
ever since.
He remembers when DR.. John Screw
en- the father of the late Col. Screven,
was captain of the Savannah Volunteer
Guards. He remembers that stately
gentleman's dignified appearance the
manner in which he led his company
and the gracious hospitality he showed
it's members. He remembers how Capt
Screven would march the Guards up
to the old Hour House" that used to
stand on Bay street, and tell them to
take what they pleased, as his money.
changed into $50 gold pieces, would
span the road to the Internal regions. :"
There was a time in his recollection
when DR.. Screven would have built the
Screven House from Congress to
Broughton streets, had not an alder
man of the city obtained an injunction
against the plan. Then it was that he
said he would build the old Gulf Rail-
road, of which the Plant System is the
successor.

night. "a time l came back to Savan-

the hopes and expectations of the di-

if there is not a crowd of spectators.
A run for their money will certainly
be had by all who attend, for, as luck
will have it, there will be an extra
event. With the four races, as original
ly mapped out. there would have been
plenty of sport, but it was found that
there were so many entries for the first
running event, which will be the third

to split and have two races The fifth,
therefore, will be governed by exactly

this morning for raising disturbance

factory. Philips was under the in
fluence of liquor and ran around the
house with his wife in his arms.
The dashing to pieces of lamps, the
breaking of tableware, and the screams
of Mrs. Philips attracted the attention
of Mounted Patrolman McQuade, who
attempted to place the drunken man
under arrest. Philips resisted and the
officer was forced to use his club. The
prisoner fought viciously until he re-
ceived an ugly wound in the head. The
blood blinded him and the blow SEEM

wound was dressed by a physician. The
