The Savannah morning news. (Savannah, Ga.) 1900-current, 1901-09-29

When the tall and muscular Sena-
tor Heitfeld entered the executive
chamber this morning, says the New
York Tribunes Washington corre-
spondence, he received a cordial ana
what he described as genuine west
ern welcome" from the President. do
you remember when you and were
the whole Se,aate?" inquired the Pres
ident, as he grasped the hand OF the
senator. 1t developed that behind TINS
question was an interesting little story
When President Mckinley went from
the Senate chamber to the east front
of the Capitol on that bleak, damp
day last March to take the oath or his
exalted office for the second time, the
whole Senate filed out behind him.
The man who is now President had just
taken the oath as Vice President ana
was presiding over the Senate. In the
excitement attending the departure OF
President Mckinley no senator mao
thought to move the adjournment or
the Senate. AS presiding officer of the
body Mr.. Roosevelt could not desert
his post, nor could he, on his own mi
tiative, declare the Senate adjourned.
For fully an hour he sat in lonely
state upon the Senate rostrum. NOT
another human being was in the great
chamber, even the galleries being
empty. Just about the time the unpre-
cedented situation had ceased to be
humorous to the new Vice President,
Senator Heitfeld strobe into the de-
serted chamber to get his rain coat,
which he had left in the Democratic
cloak room. Taking in the situation
at a glance, the senator, with grave
face but suppressed laughter, said:
"Mr President"
The Vice President-The Senator
from Idaho.
Mr.. Heitfeld--I move that the Sem
ate do now adjourn until II o'clock,
noon. tomorrow.
The Vice President Cooking vastly
relieved)-T Senator from Idaho
moves that the Senate now adjourn
until IL o'clock, noon, tomorrow. Is
there objection? The chair hears none,
and the Senate stands adjourned until
the hour named.
The Vice President emphasized this
with a mighty thump of his gavel, and,
hastily descending from the rostrum,
thanked the Senator from Idaho for
his action.
II want to thank you again for that, y
said President Roosevelt to-day as he
greeted Senator Heitfeld. "If 1t hadn't
been that you forgot your raincoat and
had to return for it there is no telling
how long would have had to preside
over an empty Senate"

RIpIEs IN PUBLIC PLACES.

II doesn't require a very long mem
DRY to go back to time when a Bible
was to be found in practically every
bedroom of every hotel, as well as IN
each parlor. In the bedroom the little
volume was either on the table or IN
the top bureau drawer. A writer In
the New York Sun, who has done con-
siderable travelling, says that years ago
he seldom failed to discover the book
in its accustomed place. and its pres
ence made him feel Eat home" and In
good company wherever he might be.
But now a-days the book is conspic-
uous by it's absence. Neither is 1t to
be found upstairs in the chamber or
downstairs on the parlor table.
In former days one of the conspicu-
Gus details of the equipment of nearly
every railway passenger coach was a
Bible. 1t usually rested in little
grilled iron frame attached to the wall
at one end Of the coach, and had print
ed on the cover in plain letters, Read
and Return" That was before the era
of butchers" on the trains and when
paper backed novels were not as pop
ular as they have since become. And
the little Bibles in the coaches more
often than not bore the marks of
usage, showing that many persons had
relieved the tedium of travel by inn
proving their minds and strengthening
their faith through reading them. But
the railroad Bible, like the hotel Bible,
T.. hui TG n
question of morals?
1t appears that the books were sup
piled in different manners. In most
instances the Bible Society or the
Tract Society furnished them and OBJ
tained permission from the proprietors
or the corporations to place them in
their hotels or railway trains. In other
instances the hotel men and the rail-
roads furnished the books themselves,
knowing that their patrons would ex-
places. 1t may have been a simple
business proposition with them, but
the moral influence upon the public
was the same. Was it merely an in
stance of demand and supply, and has
the demand now ceased? 1t cannot be
that the great Bible distributing con-
Germ has grown careless with respect
to the matter, nor can it be claimed
with reason that the travelling public
has grown so good that it does not
need the Bible. Whatever the reason,
the fact remains that the Bible is not
seen in public places now as often as
it was some few years ago.

THE AMERICAS CUP.

1t is doubtful If there is any question
in the minds of yachtsmen that the
Americas cup will remain for the
present on this side of the ocean. Sir
Thomas Upton is a very pleasant
gentleman and has many friends in
this country. While therefore there
will be rejoicing by Americans II the
result of the yacht races is what 1t is
now expected 1t will be, there will be
a good deal of sympathy for Sir Thorn
as. His disappointment will be great.
The amount of money that he has
spent in trying to lift" the cup is very
large, but 1t is not large enough to be
a matter of much consequence to him.
There were other things he expected to
gain, If he carried the cup back with
him, which he values more than money.
The race yesterday was one that Of
fered the yachts an opportunity to
show what their merits were. Consid-
cred in connection with the race that
was sailed on Thursday-the race that
doesn't count-enough data is at hand
to justify the conclusion that, if there
Is no accident, the Columbia will be
the winner. She seems to be the supe-
rior boat in several important particu-
lars.
It is noticeable that while the bet
ting was 10 on the Columbia to on the
Shamrock last Wednesday it was on
the Columbia to on the Shamrock
yesterday, and it was difficult to get
bets at those figures. The betting men
are sometimes mistaken. but as a gen.
eral thing they are pretty well inform
ed.
OF course the Shamrock may surprise
everybody in the races which are to
follow. The wind may be altogether
different from any which the yachts
have yet had. but the chances are that
the Columbia is as capable of giving
surprises as the Shamrock.

THE NEW SCHOOL TERM.

After a three months rest during the
warm weather, the teachers and pupils
of the Savannah public schools will
return to books and studies on Tues
day morning. During the vacation
many of the teachers spent a part of
the time in preparation for the better
prosecution of their labors, while the
pupils refreshed and invigorated them
selves with outdoor exercise. Both
therefore. are in good shape for the
months of work before them.
From the number of applications
that have been made for admission 1t
is quite certain that there will be no
vacant room in any of the public
schools. Every seat will be filled. and
after a day or two of preliminary work
the routine will go forward smoothly.
The steady growth of the school pop
ulation, and the eagerness of parents
and children to take advantage of the
means of education provided from the
public funds, constitute sufficient no.
tice to the authorities that they must
be progressive, on their part, in order
to maintain the equilibrium between
supply and demand in school accom-
modations.
II is gratifying to note that the new
term starts out with the city's school
equipment the best in its history, and
easily comparable with that of any
city OF It's size in the South, IL not in
deed in any part of the country. Sa-
vannah deals literally with her schools,
and she has something to show for
her liberality. During the vacation
the Chatham Academy has been COM
pleted and furnished. and will at once
go into service. 1t Is rlsklng nothing
to say It is one OF the most admirable
school buildings in this part OF the
country, smbodying as II does all that
is newest and best in school architec-
ture and fitting. II contains twenty
four large class rooms. in each of
which ventilation and light have been
carefully considered. An adequate
heating system has been provided. and
the plumbing Ia as near perfection as
skill can make Il. For e0nyenisncs

and safety it is a model. With this
new building the capacity Of the Chat
ham School is largely increased. and
the troublesome scheme of double daily
sessions, made necessary by the burn
ing Of the old building. is obviated.
The Thirty-eighth Street School house
has also been completed and will go
into full service. This building, like
the academy and the Anderson Street
School, is modern in its design and
appointments. These three buildings
are the newest for school purposes In
the city, and in them Savannah has
school houses that will compare with
those of any other city. All OF the
buildings, old and new, however, are In
good condition and well equipped for
their purpose. And their STATS Of
teachers have been carefully selected
for ability and fitness. With excellent
buildings, competent teachers under
efficient direction and lot of bright
pupils, there is every reason to look
forward to the new school term prov
ing a most gratifying one.

THE SOUTH AFRICAN SITUATION.

The English people have cause for
feeling gloomy over the condition of
affairs in South Africa The rumor
that Gen. Kitchener has resigned, or
Is about to resign, because of diff
ferences with the war Office, is dis
heartening. Great reliance is placed
on him, and If he were to leave South
Africa the British government would
find some difficulty IN filling his place
satisfactorily. There is no lack of
generals, and among those who would
like chance to try to bring the war
to a successful Termination there may
be a number who could do just as well
as Gen. Kitchener has been doing.
The difficulty Is to find the man for
the emergency.
No military man of more than or
binary ability appears to have come
to the front since the South African
war began. 1t was thought that Lord
Roberts had brought the war to a
point where 1t would soon be termi-
mated, but it is now known that that
was a mistake. He simply extricated
the British forces from some perllous
positions. When he returned to Eng
land, however, the war was not over
by any means. In fact, the Beers
were just getting ready to carry on
the kind OF war that has given the
British the most trouble, and which
will yet cost Great Britain dearly I'M
less she takes steps to crush the Beers
quickly.
This is the view that Gen. Kitchener
seems to entertain. He believes in
using the harshest kind of measures
in forcing the Beers to terms. The
British government appears to be
afraid to let him have a free hand,
though II was understood that he
should have. The reason it is afraid
is that reports might be sent out from
South Africa that would create a
public sentiment in this and other
countries that would result in inter-
vention. It is probable that Gen.
Kitchener is not held back from any
feeling of humanity, but from policy.
The war is getting very tiresome to
the English people. 1t is burdening
them with taxes. 1t would not be
surprising therefore If the peace SEN
timent in England should soon become
so strong as to be troublesome to the
! government.

II was sitting on the veranda OF a
far Western hotel one afternoon" said
the Boston drummer, according to the
Galveston News, land was lazily
smoking one OF the incest meerschaum
pipes you ever saw, when out of the
tail of my eye / saw that a native
down at the other end of the veranda
had his gun sighted at me.
'They were a wild lot around there,
and / couldn't tell whether he meant
to shoot me or the pipe. The chances
were in favor of the pipe, however. and
it seemed a good chance to test my
nerve. l made up my mind to let him
shoot, and pretend a careless air, but
I'm telling you that in the ten or If
teen seconds of waiting the sweat came
out at every pore and my heart pound
ed my ribs sore.
Il felt sort of tick at the bowl of
the pipe, heard the crack of the gun
and knew that the bullet had passed
through the pipe.
Il got a brace with my hands and
feet and waited for the second bullet,
and it went through the bowl after the
first. / sat there until his fourth bull
let had hit the pipe and knocked the
bowl off the stem, and then the shooter
sauntered up to me and laughingly
said:

1t had suddenly occurred to me that
the bowl of that pipe was only six
inches from my nose while the fellow
was doing his shooting, and I have
not yet got over touching my nasal or.

Pitfalls for Diplomats.

The late Lord Savile used to say.
according to the Candid Friend, that
high diplomatists had always to be on
their guard against intriguing women,
mainly Russian agents, who would use
any vile to extract information. Dur
ing the Russo Turkish war, when Eu-
rope was always on the verge of a
crisis and Russian statesmen were
most anxious to know what England
would do under given circumstances, a
lady came up to him suddenly at ball,
and said:
IL hear that the Russians have made
a forced march and entered Constan-
tinople." hoping. no doubt, that he
would be surprised into some indis-
Greet expression.
He merely replied:
Indeed! And / suppose the Sultan
has conferred on them the Order OF the
