The discontinuance of the government
transport service to Cuba and Porto Rico
on June 80 next will place on the mar
ket two of the great transports, Crook
and Sedgewick, for which the government
paid $4,000 and $500, 900 respectively. The
Inns. will be transferred to the Pacific
for service to and from the Philippines.
The Crook and Sedgewick will both be re-
membered at this port, the former as the
Roumanian and the latter as the Chester.
That the ships will not bring 50 per cent.
of the price paid for them is foregone
conclusion.

Those whose lives lead them into the
more sheltered paths will not begrudge
these few words to their young sisters
who are called every day to patiently help
others in shop or work-room, or office or
factory, we must not forget that all these
associations are really, whatever gain we
desire ourselves, ways of helping the
worlds progress and doing good, says a
writer in the Ledger Monthly.
No one can imagine what a delight it
is to find a truly gracious young girl
waiting and ready to aid her customer,
whether it is behind a counter, in a fitting
room, in a millineF's shop, or wherever
else the woman who has a want encoun-
ters another who can supply it. These
people are aided by the ready hand, the
sincerely interested mind and the pleasant
smile. 1t makes the customer grateful,
the owner of the establishment is en-
riched and the sweet hammered young wo-
man makes a growth in womanliness and
refinement every time she exercises pa
thence and tact and good taste and makes
a tiresome necessity pleasant.
Yesterday a friend thought she had Sc
riously tried the endurance of charm
ing young girl, and said:
Il have given you so much trouble to-
day that 1 will have to promise not 10
bother you again for month"
The young saleswoman, in handing her
customer the ribbons which had been so
hard to match, said, with a delightful
smile:
Don't stay away a month, please"
The lady who had been sorry to be so
particular came away quite in love with
her gracious young helper, and said:
Il would go a long way to have the
pleasure of buying anything from that
lovely girl."
Do you see how threefold the benefit
was? The shopper, a delicate woman,
was made TO forget fatigue, the firm won
steady customer, and the young sales
woman made a true friend.

Who pays the expenses of the Presi-
dents trip? According to the Washington
Post, the railroads haul the train free
the Pullman company furnishes the cars
without cost, and each railroad company
stocks the dining car with provisions for
the meals that are served as the train
passes over its route. That accounts for
the transportation, sleeping and eating,
When the party leaves the train the mem
bers Of it become the guests Of the mu-
nicipality visited, ana the entertainment Is
always lavish. Thus It appears that the
transportation and municipal corporations
foot the bills for the trip.

The policing of Drayton street might
he very much better than it is. There
seems to be no restraint whatever upon
reckless driving I'm the crowded thorough
fare, and carts and wagons are permitted
to block the street without hindrance.
Drayton street is narrow. When vehi-
Gle is backed up against the sidewalk the
head of the mule or horse is within six
feet of the opposite curb; yet vehicles are
daily in that position for ten to fifteen
minutes at a time. TO the annoyance and

drivers Of heavy carts, too, persistently
violate the keep TO the right rule, prob

Why there should be such determination
to pave CASTOR street when the residents
of the street, or at beast % per cent. of
them, are against having it paved, is a
question that is attracting some atten-
ton The fact ought to be taken into
consideration that the residents are Just
about connecting their promises with the
new sewerage system, and that the aver
age cost to each householder of doing this
will not be much below 800 Add to this
the cost of paving the street with brick
or asphalt and a burden would be placed
upon them too heavy to be borne in one
year-at least by some of them.
1t has not been so very long since the
property holders of the street paid for a
pavement. 1t was in every respect sat.
isfactory. The city damaged it to some
extent in putting down sewer, but it IS
the city's duty to repair the damage at
its own cost. 1t would be unjust to re-
quire the property holders to repair it.
CASTOR Is a street that is but little used
by vehicles. There is no reason there
fore why the shell pavement should be
taken up. There has never been any COM
plant of it, Put it in good order and It
will answer every purpose. There are
streets for the pavement of which there
is very general demand. Why not pave
them in preference to CASTOR street?

The question of establishing a dispen-
sary in Florida, having the best features
of the dispensary systems of South Car
DINA and Alabama, is before the Legisla
ture of that state. In view of the fact
that the session was half over before the
bill was introduced, and taking into con-
sderation the great influence of the tour
list hotels, it seems safe to predict that
the bill will not reach a vote.
There is, no doubt, strong prohibition
sentiment in the state that can be relied
upon to support the bill. But is the real
purpose of the bill to encourage temper
ance or to give the state additional reve-
nue.? 1t can hardly be to advance the
cause of temperance. AS far as we have
been able to observe about as much liquor
is consumed in South Carolina now as
there was before the dispensary law was
enacted And, judging from the reports
of crimes committed, there is very little,
if any, less drunkenness.
If it is revenue that is sought by the
advocates of dispensary law could there
not be almost as much collected from the
saloons by judicious system of licens-
ing as by a dispensary system? Besides,
the closing of the saloons would deprive
the town and counties of great deal of
revenue without relieving them of the
burdens which the free selling of intox-
icants imposes upon them.
The theory is, probably, that by closing
the dispensaries at shutdown there will be
fewer crimes as the result of a too free
indulgence in liquor, but is it not the ex-
perience of communities that have sought
to get rid of drink evils, that where linn
itations are put upon the sale of liquor
by the drink, it is obtained in quantities
and drunk to excess?
Ii is doubtful IT, the people of Florida
would find much satisfaction in a dis
pensary system. 1t would be better to
give out-and-out prohibition a trial rather
than to make any experiments with a dis
pensary system. But better than either
is local option. 1t takes longer by that
means to get rid of the liquor traffic, but
when once it is got rid of there is no
more trouble with it because the people
have become educated against strong
drink and have no desire for it. There is
no business for saloons because nobody
wants to patronize them,

There having been rumor 10 the effect
that Mrs. Mary Baker Eddy, the founder
of Christian Science. had been dead for
quite long time, and another rumor that
she was bed-ridden and that she was per-
sonated by another woman whenever il
was necessary for the head of the cut to
make a public appearance, the New York
Herald sent representative to Concord,
N. H., to see what foundation there was
for them.
He found Mrs. Eddy, and had an inter-
esting talk with her, although it is against
her inclination and rules to submit TO in
terviewS for publication. She is described
as a handsome, white haired, venerable
booking woman, who is prepared to an
swer any questions asked her but who
prefers to answer them in her own way.
She declared that the Church of Christ,
Scientist, was growing with wonderful
rapidity, and expressed the belief that in
time it would absorb all the other
churches In answer 10 a question as to
who would succeed to the direction of the
Christian Science Church, she said that
the rulership would evolve scientifically,
that its government would develop as it
progressed. She had no hesitation what
ever in saying that her successor would
be a man, though she would not give his
name. She said that she had been called
a pope, but had sought no such distinct
ion-that she had simply taught while
healing the sick. She also said that she
had been spoken of as Christ, but to her
understanding that was impossible.
OF course Mrs. Eddy does not believe in
the germ theory of disease, nor does she
believe in the use of drugs to cure dis
ease. She does not believe that any benefit
comes from vaccination, but has no OBJ
lection to it, as it may relieve the mind
of fear of the disease which 1t is intended
to guard against. Fear Of catching an in
fechous disease is in her opinion, far
more dangerous than any material infec-
ton.
In answer to a question about surgery,
she said: The work done by the sur
geon is the last healing that will be
vouchsafed TO US, or rather attained by
us, as we near a state of spiritual per-
lection. At present am conservative
about advice on surgical cases"
A very large number of people have pro-
found interest in everything Mrs Eddy
says in reference to matters pertaining to
the cult of which she is the head. That
she is a remarkable woman there is no
doubt, but she is mistaken in thinking
that her church villa absorb all other
churches. No one can of course predict
with any degree of certainty the extent of
it's growth, but its decline will probably
begin with the death of it's founder.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The New York Evening Post Qnd.)
says: "That the black man has been
largely supplanted by the white as a
waiter in hotels, restaurants, and clubs IS
a fact which is only emphasized by the
struggle required to retain negro SER
wants in the Union League Club on the
part of those who made the successful
fight. the other evening. The controlling
reason is economic-the white man makes
a better waiter to-day than the black
one, and the more efficient type wins, as
in every other relation, The explanation
is clearly perceived by some negroes.
Booker Washington was recently asked
why ne supposed this change had come
about and he replied that the main rea-
son Is because the best type of white
waiter Is man who is trained TO the
business for his life work, while the back
waiter is almost always a man who takes
up serving as a temporary means Of
earning a subsistence and who thinks
more about getting ont of 1t than about
fitting himself to be more efficient. In
other words IL is only the familiar con-
trast between the man who has taken
up a speciality and who tries to master
it, and the man who embraces it simply
to tide him over an emergency. without
any idea of becoming an expert"

The New York Press (Rep) says: THE
purchase OF the Leyland line for Ameri-
can investors puts an end TO ship-subsidy
legislation OF this kind proposed at the
last session Of Congress by the simple
process OF providing too many mouths
to feed. There will not be enough sub
eziGy to so around"
The Savannah morning news., 1901-05-03

An effort is being made to create the
impression that in purchasing control
ling interest in the Leyland Steamship
Line Mr. Morgan had no intention of Gre
ating a trust in ocean transportation.
Those who take this view say that his
purpose is TO run the steamships which
he has acquired in transporting the pro
ducts of his billion dollar steel trust to
various parts of the world-that he ex-
poets the trust will manufacture a large
surplus and he cannot afford to be at the
mercy Of ocean transportation lines.
1t is evident that there cannot be much
foundation for this view No doubt the
steamships will carry to foreign ports the
products Of the steel trust, but the sur
plus output of that trust will not be suf-
ficient to keep employed one-half of the
steamers which Mr. Morgan has acquired.
In the Leylaud Line there are 81
steamers, ana in the Atlantic Transporta-
tion line, which has been consolidated
with it, there are %. And the fact must
be taken into account that the Leyland
line owns a controlling interest in the
Wilson Line which has 81 steamers and
in the Furness Line which has H. Here
are 175 steamers, many Of them the very
finest and among the largest in the
world. 1t is apparent that all of them
could not be utilized in connection with
the steel trust.
They are TO be used as they are being
used now, to transport the commerce of
the world. They sail upon all seas and
to the ports of about all countries, and
they will be continued, no doubt to a
great extent, in the trade in which they
are now employed. The only difference
viii be that they will be under the con-
troll of Americans instead of Englishmen
1t is probable also they will be so man
aged as to give encouragement to Amer
lean commerce.
There is no good reason for thinking
that Mr.. Morgans chief purpose in ac-
curing a controlling interest in so many
steamships is to further the interests of
the steel trust. 1t is said that the scheme
Of buying them was considered last win
ter, when the ship subsidy bill was be-
ing discussed in the Senate. 1t was be-
lieved at that time that the bill would be-
come a law. 1t contains a provision that
foreign built vessels owned by Americans
shall share in the subsidy. With the sub
sidy the steamers would no doubt be very
profitable, even at the price paid for them
by Mr. Morgan.
Judging from some remarks made by
the President in one of his speeches de-
livered since starting on his tour across
the continent. the bill is to be brought
forward again next winter, and the in
fluences bahind it are so vast that it
would not be surprising if it should be
passed. If the Republican leaders have
their way the American people will be
taxed to assist millionaire ship owners
and ship builders.
