ever, the American people are not go
ing to wait for history to do justice
in the case of Admiral Schley. They
know the facts, and have made up their
verdict; but The navy clique is like
Belshazzar, and cannot read the hand
writing on the wall.
Dewey-brave, impulsive, generous
what cares he for criticism from a
department which ostentatiously puts
a blind adherence to impracticable and
ignorant instructions ahead of glorious
achievement? Well did Dewey know
that his comment on the majority YER
dict would be regarded as irregular
but that made no difference. He in
: tended to let the people, and the de-
partment, too. know what he thought
about the matter. He did it, and the
people are with him. fifty to one. And
the people are fast losing patience with
system, or a-eli9ss, or a department,
or whatever it may be, that will per-
sist in making naught of heroism as
against red-tape.
1t is not to be supposed for a mo-
ment that Gen. Miles did not realize
his liability to being taken to task for
his utterance. Probably the Secretary
of War was technically right in his re-
buke, but Miles can we'll afford to sup
port the infection with equanimity. He
Is not AFRAID to let it be seen that
he is man as well as a soldier, and
is doubtless perfectly willing to be
rapked by the people alongside of

1t seems to me that the proper thing
for Dewey and Miles to do is to resign
the nigh Offices they hold and thus en-
phasize their protest The country is
at peace; so they need not fear that
some sneak will crawl forth and accuse
them of cowardice!

ceipts. but stands ready to back Feltz
on a side bet of anything from 5000 to

forfeit of $3.50 be posted that the
weight be made, the weigh-in to take
place at 8 o'clock on the day of the
bout. If Tipman has the confidence n
his abilities that his announcement
would imply, there should be no diff

what EnterprisinG Merchants Are
Doing to Beautify Their stores.
The Christmas show windows Of
many of the enterprising merchants are
attracting a great deal of attention
now.
Beginning at Leopold Adlers on
Broughton street, pedestrians are given
a free Santa Claus performance from
the show windows every afternoon and
night. There is usually crowd Of
children and their nurses and a smart
sprinkling of middle-sized and grown
up people in front of the window, TO
witness the antics of st. Nicholas.

one of M. Dryfus' windows. A lad,
poorly clad, has fallen in a snow storm.
His dream, is that Santa Claus, with
a bag of fine clothing and plenty
to eat is on his way. St. Nicholas Is
seen approaching.

have constructed a novel show window
of revolving electric lights. These
lights are reflected in several mirrors
presenting a beautiful window. The
work was done by Mr.. John Thomas of
the firm. Among the other windows
which are attracting especial atten-
ton, are those of Foye g. Ecksteip, d.

AFTER CHRISTMAS GREENERY

search Tor Holly ana MfStletOe Car
ries SaVannahians 10 the Woods.
The cold weather of the past few
days has prevented good many people
from making their annual trips to the
woods about the city in search of holly
and mistletoe for Christmas decora-
tions. Despite the weather some of the
more hardy and adventurous spirits
braved the elements and after an hour
or two spent on the edges of some
swamp returned with the buggy or
other trap in which they made their
trip filled with eVergreens.
Yesterday combined the advantage of
more moderate weather than has pre-
vailed for the past day or two with the
fact that it was Sunday and day of
rest The buggies in which the col
lectors of Christmas greenery left the
city were masses of color when they
returned. The woods are full of cedar,
holly, mstletoe and bamboo, and no
body who went searching for any of
these experienced any difficulty in Sc
curing all they desired.
A number of the fruit stands and
groceries also display these articles in
connection with their stock of Christ
mas trees, the latter of which is being
rapidly depleted. The spruce pine Of
the Maine forests is perhaps the most
slightly and shapely of the trees used
for this purpose. but the native yellow
pine saplings, with which the woods are
filed, make when trimmed into shape
a fairly good substitute.

CHRIST'S FRIENDSHIP.
Rev. VI. a. Morgan's Sermon at Trim
ity Church.

Ny
Because of a series of unfortunate
circumstances thu services at Trinity
Church yesterday were not carried out
as announced On account of the alb
sence of a part of the choir the Christ
mas music was not sung, and Rev. DIR.
T. D. Ellis, presiding elder of the Sa-
vannah district, conducted only one of
the services, instead of two as was in
tended. He preached at Trinity in the
morning and at Grace Methodist at
night, at the latter church taking the
place of Rev. c. A. Jackson, who
was unable to preach because of illness.
The night service at Trinity was
conducted by Rev. NJ. A. Morgan, pre-
siding elder of the McRae District. He
preached an eloquent sermon on
Christ's Friendship. His text was from
l Peter, CHI. II, VS.. 7, Unto you there
fore which believeth he is precious"
Jesus Christ is precious" said the
speaker, because first of all he is the
friend of sinners. With this conception
one can see at once the extent of his
mission on earth; to save all classes of
humanity even those of the very lowest
plane; to accomplish their redemption
through grace. Beside, Jesus" the
speaker said, ian effort to call up
friends of sinners, shows that they
have so few that one might reach the
conclusion they have none.'
He explained that he did not consider
in the light of friends those whom sim
ners might so consider, for that such
are not friends in the true conception
of the word may be seen from the par
able of the prodigal son. He had such
friends at the beginning of his down.
ward career: had friends because he
had money and these friends were the
beneticiaries of his liberality. But when
poverty overlook him he had no
friends
True friendship has in it something
of the divine; the prodigal in his pow
erty was alone because his so-called
friends were not inspired by the divine
part of friendship. The most lonely and
desolate fate man can have
is to be friendless To sinners,
therefore Jesus Christ is precious be-
cause he is a friend, and one never
known to forsake. Furthermore, as all
are sinners, this friendship of Christ's
becomes universally precious.
Il am delighted to say tonight to
any that may be strangers to God,
and not know Christ, that to you, too,
Christ is precious and may yet get
possession Of your heart and mind
and turn you to him.
Whatever greatness and glory the
nation enjoys to-day the gospel of
Christ has made it, and whatever of
beauty and freedom and enjoyment
we have may be attributed to the
same source. His word has been the
inspiring spirit in government and lit
erature and art and whatever there is
that ennobles the human race"

WANT NO LIVE OAKS.
South Side Residents Have Had
Enough of the Tough Wood.

South Side Residents Have Had
Enough of the Tough Wood.
One of the toughest propositions with
which certain residents of the South
Side, or those expecting to build homes
in that section have had to wrestle has
been ancient live oaks. These oaks
have been a species of thorn in the
flesh to some who found them upon
the lots they purchased.
1t is said that it is possible to split up
the trunk of live oak if lusty wood
choppers go about it soon after it has
been felled. A wedge may then he in
serted and the oak may be driven. Let
the trunk remain for some time after
it has been felled, however, and not
the strength of the strongest and deft-
est wood chopper nor the edge of any
steel implement is potent against the
cohesion of its particles.
One gentleman who bought a lot
in the southern section found live
oak on it. The tree was a monster.
He contracted with a negro woodchop-
per to fell it, engaging to give the man
the wood and $12. The man went TO
work on the tree, looping off the
branches by dint of some very hard
work He then had the wood from the
branches. which he carted away, se-
curing, too partial payment on ac-
count. He didn't show up again, but
left the elephant on the hands of its
owner, who had to make new con-
tract to get the tree down. Then he
couldn't get anyone to haul it away,
as it was too heavy. He finally man.
aged to get a transfer company TO
move the trunk, cut into two or three
sections, off to one side, so that he
might build where the tree had stood.
| The tree has cost him $50 thus far, and
he has yet to have a great hole dug
| in order that he may bury it.
Another gentleman tells of two or
| three sections of such tree that are
| still on his place, though he has been
! living in his house for two years. One
man did haul away piece to use as
| a meat block, and a drayman got one
| or two pieces away.
