OFF ON THEIR CRUISE.
Savannah Party Smiled Aboard the
Schooner X night


Schooner knight.
The Savannah voyagers for Nova
Scotian and Newfoundland waters got
away yesterday afternoon. They sail
ed at $3.50 o'clock aboard the pilot
schooner Knight. Capt. M. p. Usina
in command. The Knight went down
the river in tow of the tug Cambria,
which dropped her at the bar. She
then laid her course for Cape Hatteras.
taking that of coastwise steamships.
From the cape, she will lay her own
course for Halifax, where her first stop
will be made.
AS the knight went down the harbor
she fired her small brass piece in sa-
lutte. The parting courtesy was ac-
knowledged by friends of those aboard
who were along the wharves or upon
the river front verandas of the build
ings along the north side of the Bay.
Those comprising the party, besides
Capt. Usina, were DIR. and Mrs. j. G. {.
Van Marter, Mr.. Stein Bryan, Mr.. j.
N. Guerard Mr.. John Sullivan Schley
and Mr.. George Beckett. 1t is EXPECT
ed that the trip will take at least six
weeks.

your would naturally expect that after
paying for the horse he would bring
you back the animal and the change.
Suppose you had a similar transaction
every year, would you join others who
had a similar business, all of you
agreeing that your friend keep the
change" every year for twenty years,
and that each of you will buy a horse,
paying the same amount every year
during that time and that he is not
to give any of you an accounting of
his transactions so far as the surplus
goes, and that should you fail any year
to buy a horse, or die before the end
of the twentieth year, then you for
felt all the surplus in his hands? If,
however, you live to the end of the
time as agreed, and have purchased
a horse each year, paying the same
amount, then you are to get such a
settlement as he chooses to make you
at that time. You are not to see the
books, but must take his word as to
how much or how little is coming to
you. Would you make a business deal
of this sort? Hardly. Yet this is
analogous to "Tontine" life insurance,
sometimes called Deferred Dividend"

VERDICT WAS GUILTY.

George Schroeder Must Pay Fine
of $3.50 and the Court Costs.
The sealed verdict that had been re-
turned by the Superior Court jury that
tried the case of George Schroeder,
charged with keeping open a tipping
house on Sunday, was opened when
court convened yesterday morning.
The verdict had been reached by the
jury during the night. AS had been
generally expected. it was guilty.
Judge Falligant imposed the sentence
he has been imposing in this class of
cases. The defendant was required to
pay fine of $3.50 and the costs of court
or spend six months in the county Jail.
AS has also been customary in these
cases when a conviction has been Sc
cured, motion for a new trial will
probably be made.

SNOW DRIFT LARD COMPOUND.
The Compound which Is So Popular
Throughout This Part of the
COuntry.

There is one compound which is TAX
ing the place of the fatty lard products
of the West so rapidly as to create
talk everywhere 1t is Snow Drift put
up by the Southern Cotton Oil Com
pany of this city.
1t is not difficult to understand why
it is so popular and so much preferred
to the lard of the West.
Snow Drift is a superior article from
a standpoint of health, in the first
place.
Snow Drift is free of fumes; lard
compound is not.
Snow Drift is always sweet and pure;
lard compound is not.
Snow Drift never gets rancid. Snow
Drift may be used in cooking more
than one eatable with perfect safety.
Snow Drift, which has been used in
cooking onions, does not partake of the
onion flavor and may be used in max
ing cake.
Snow Drift is made in Savannah by
Savannah people. 1t is a scientifically
prepared product, made regardless of
cost. 1t is so far in advance of any
similar goods on the market as to
make it next to remarkable why any
thing but Snow Drift is sold And, in
deed, wherever Snow Drift is known
it is a rare thing that other goods are
called for. Aside from the superiority
of Snow Drift, it is a matter of pride
among housekeepers in Savannah to
help it along.-ad

MITCHELL MUST HANG.
Gov. Gambler Refuses 10 Interfere
with Death Sentence.

George Mitchell, tried in the Superior
Court for criminal assault upon two
negro women, conveyed without rec
ommendation by the jury and sentenc-
ed by Judge Falligant to be hanged,
must die on Aug. 2 the day fixed by
the sentence of the court for his execu-
ton. Gov. Gambler has refused to in
terfere or to commute the death SEN
tence.
The defendants counsel admits that
Mitchell has had a fair trial and that
there are no grounds upon which a
motion for a new trial could be based.
Hence it was that the appeal for ex-
ecutive clemency was made at once
and without the >formality of an at
tempt to carry the case to the Supreme
Court. The refusal of Gov. Gambler to
interfere was announced on yesterday.

WORSE THAN SAVANNAH,
Those Who Leave Expecting TO Find
Better Climate Fail.

A large number of Savannahians are
spending money in different parts of
the country to find a more, agreeable
climate, when the conditions here are
probably far superior to what they are
in any other section. whether it be on
sea shore or mountain top. So pleas
ant has the weather been so far that
many have abandoned the idea of leav-
ing at all. Among these are Logan,
who doesn't care to depart, when he
would fail in his efforts to find more
delightful summer weather. He Is
also enjoying himself looking after the
wants of his customers. Others will
soon hear of Savannah's cool breezes
and return, and Logan is preparing to
take care of them. The day before you
arrive drop him a postal stating your

surd and unjust decision. He had no need to do so; but he appointed the sons of two of the judges to fat fed eral offices while the case was still pending. That was not bribery; of course it wasn't; but it was calculated to work just as we'll. The worst ef- feet of the decision is epitomized by Justice Harlan as follows: I take leave to say that if the principles now announced should ever receive the sanction of majority of this court, the result will be radical and mis- chievous change in our system of gov ernment. We will, in that event, pass from an era of constitutional liberty, guarded and protected by a written constitution, into an era of legislative absolutism in respect of many rights that are dear to all peoples who love freedom. It will be an evil day for American liberty if the theory of a government outside the supreme law of the land finds Judgement in our con- stitutional jurisprudence

ETHICS. OF THE BAD MAN.

The bad man is not necessarily bad at all, says E. c. Little in Eyerybody's s Magazine. He is often a very good fellow Bad is merely q synonym for dangerous. The bad man was for- merly the good" man. He is simply the frontiersman whose evolution has kept pace with that Of the irearm- product of the border and the six shooter. Keen of eye, quick of hand, and strong of will, he has that SUI premacy which always comes to the man of cool and clearheaded personal valor everywhere, except in societys latest and most refined development The term was used rather to express the feeling that he. was, in the yer nacular of the border, n bad man to monkey with" To govern and control communities in which vicious men were not infrequent, where all were restless and the majority turbulent, justice were inadequate. Law and order required the assistance of offi- cers who, though enlisted to keep the peace, did not hesitate to be law unto themselves. If civilization was afraid to endorse their actions, it was at least proud of the results of the laborS of the peace officer of the border
 Hickok, Tom Smith, Patrick Shu- grue, Michael Shugrue, William Tighl- man, Hector Thomas, and a score of other men as marshals, sherifTs and deputies enforced the law, made life safe and property secure, and brought order out of chaos by their ready cour- age and good sense. As Wild Bill Hickok was the original, so was he the first of the class.

LoNDoN's TENEMENT HOUSES.


 John Martin, writing in the World s Work for June, tells the remarkable way of which London helps to house it's poor.
 The council has acquired land, he says, for no less than the actual crea- tion of two cities, one in the south of London at Footing, and the other in the north at Wood Green. The. plans for these are drawn and show that on the former $500 persons will reside, and on the latter 42,500. At Wood Green, where ST 100000 will be invest ed, space will be left in the center for public buildings Ia library Is all ready promised by Passmore Edwards and park will be laid out at the edge of the estate where little stream winds through 1t. This will be a very Garden City, self supporting from the first and likely to yield large revenues ultimately to the public landlord. The inhabitants will enjoy self government. They will neither be debauched by charity or oppressed by rack rents The advantage to them will be to have q model landlord in model city;sthe advantage to the general taxpayer will be the creation of a municipal es- tate without cost to him and the ad- vantage to the whole community will lie in some relief to overcrowding.
