New York, November 1.-To be perfect ly frank, from some persons point of view 1t is deadly dull in town.' from mine 1t is delightful. I am not much in town to tell the truth, but when I am, I repeat 1t, I find it delightful. You see it is this way. Nobody comes to town except it be to look after the decorators. or to go shopping. These reasons bring large number in town for day or two. We dine at Sherry's, Delrnonico's or the new place. Martins, go to the theatre and have an altogether informal evening. The great country houses. are all open and will be until after Christmas. Of course the opera will make a difference, but the real. hardworking social season will not begin until after New Years day. Some of ihe largest house parties are be- ing given by ex-Gov. and Mrs. Morton at their country place, ElIers1e. at Rhine cliffe; by MT. and Mrs. ogden Mills at stattsburg; by Mir. and Mrs. George Gould at Lakewood; MT. and Mrs. Percy R.

 Harry Payne Whitney has come home from a short trip abroad and James Hen ry Smith has also arrived. His plans have not been made known, but he will occupy his handsome house in town after the season at Tuxedo is over. He will put his coach on the road and give some driving parties during the Indian sum- mer. T. Suffern Taller was also another of the arrivals. He had taken short spin to England with his little son. He brings over with him one of England's most noted tennis court players. The season will be passed at Tuexdo, where Tommie Taller has always lived prac- tically and in the future of which he is most interested Mrs. Potter Palmer, who has been abroad all summer, has also returned. Mrs. Palmer may make New York her home eventually. She visited her neice the Princess Cantacu- gene, while she was in Europe.
 There are all sorts of rumors concerns ing the John Jacob Astors. Mrs. John Jacob is contemplating being seen much more in society this winter, although the idea of a European trip is still in -.ie balance. There are also various reports concerning different people abroad who are to come over, and I hear that Mrs. Bradley Martin is to visit us late in the winter. MT. and Mrs. Julien T. Davies arrived this past week from England. They have been visiting Mrs. Bradley Martin at Balmacaen. Their daughter. Mrs Archibald Gourlie Thacher, Is in town for the winter.

In reply to a question, Bishop Spalding said that 1t was impossible that any large number of the coal miners were anarch- fists, as had been reported, for the reason that majority of them were Catholics, and no Catholic could be an anarchist.

CHRISTIAN EDUCATION.
Its Need Discussed at Mass Meeting
of COlored Baptists.

An educational mass meeting, called
by the trustees of the Savannah Bap-
fist Academy and Collegiate Institute,
was held last night at the First Afri-
can Baptist Church. The meeting had
as it's purpose the discussion of the
higher education for negroes, and the
necessity of the new institution.
The meeting, which was called to or
der shortly after o'clock, was largely
attended, and much interest was mani
tested. 1t was brought to the attention
of the gathering that there are over
1000 colored boys and girls in Savan-
nah of school age who are not in
school. 1t was stated that the prin-
cipal of the East Broad Street School
was obliged to turn away more than
600 applicants for want of accommoda-
tions, and that at the Anderson Street
School about 200 had been de-
MED admission for the same reason.
Many speakers addressed the meet
ing. The opening of the new school
was the topic of general discussion. The
speakers were enthusiastic over the
prospects of the institution, and many
suggestions looking to the upbuilding
of the academy were made. The con-
was freely discussed, and a Christian
education suggested as the best solu-
ton to the question.
DIR. NJ. ]. Maddox said it was his
opinion that if the colored people would
attend the regular Wednesday and
| Tuesday night meetings for their
spiritual good, and devote the remain
ing nights of the week to meetings at
which their minds could be educated
the Acknowledgement of the ignorant
voters throughout the South would not
work a hardship on the race. He said
that while the gathering was undouht-
eddy in sympathy with the movement
for industrial education, it believed
that a Christian education was even
more potent. The proper way, he said,
was to have the two in one and added
that in the near future the industrial
feature would be added to the acad-
envy. He called the attention of his
hearers to the fact that IT was not a
lack of education that caused the fall
| of ancient empires but the lack of
! Christian education, and exhorted the
| colored Baptists of the community to
support the new school, saying that it
could be made a powerful factor for
good If those who fostered the plan
would stand by the institution

COTTON CROP IN TEXAS.
NJ. A. Sullivan Writes p. ID. Damn,
Giving Figures.

Mr. P. D. Daffin has received an in
eresting letter from Mr.. Meredith A.
Sullivan cashier of the Waco State
Bank, on the condition of cotton in
Texas Mr.. Sullivan is related to Sa-
vsnnahians, and his opinions will be of
interest to the cotton trade here
Mr.. Sullivan's opinion is that the cot
ton crop will not reach 100000, as
estimated in some quarters. He says
Texas will not make any more cotton
than last year. when the crop was g.
993, 900 bales. OF this, he says, 300, 900
bales were old cotton that figured in
the receipts, whereas this year what
the state makes will have to be grown.
Texas and the territory have an acre
age of 100000 acres. South Texas will
make bale to 6 or acres. Central
Texas will make a bale to about 8
acres.
Jerome Hill of Memphis was there
recently, and estimated that the Waco
district will not make a half bale to
the acre. Mr.. Hill examined some fifty
hollis, and all were stung by boil Wee
vii. The crop is practically made, and
over half of it is picked and market
ed.
Some claim Texas and the territory
will make 3.5O0,00O," writes Mr.. Sulli-
van, but I do not believe it. | figure
that a third of a bale viii be a fair
estimate this year, which would give
about 2,700,0C0 for the state. If the
crop had not been so greatly damaged
the state would no doubt have made

PRICE OF COAL GOES UP.
Anthracite VIII Now Bring SO a
Ton in savannah.


The price of hard. or anthracite, coal
in Savannah is now $40 ton. The price
became effective yesterday morning,
when it took a sudden jump upward
from 81. so. Soft coal likewise went up
ward in price, and that commodity has
now local market value of 81 ton.
There is, however, small likelihood of
a coal famine in Savannah 1t is diff
fcult to say how lorg the present
prices will prevail. but there is little
chance that it will be enhanced The
local dealers say that Savannah has
far better than her sister cities. There
is no place in the country where coal
Is selling as cheap as in Savannah.
In New York there is no set price
for the fuel. One dealer will be selling
a ton for SIS, while another in the
same neighborhood, will receive S25 for
a single ton. The cold weather in the
n etropolis makes it necessary to buy
coal at any price, and many of the
dealers are taking advantage of this
to ask fabulous prices for their coal
Cause of the Rise.
The cause of the rise in the price in
Savannah is obvious. Little surprise
was occasioned by it. Two weeks ago
Savannah dealers were offered $40 per
ton for their supply of hard coal by
New York dealers. In the neghboring
cities $40 was the prevailing price, and
in Savannah the demand for the coal
q 81 IN hppo that had tho
price not been raised, it would have
been but short time before the sup
ply would have been cut short.
The dealers were DESTROYS of accom-
modating as many of their regular GUS
toners as possible. so as to keep their
trade during the winter. 1t is their in
tention now to sell only small orders.
The coal supply in Savannah is not
large, probably not more than 1000
tons, but when the price attains such
an altitude as now, many simply do
not buy. The weather is such that I'M
less the winter is especially rigorous,
those who cannot afford coal can do
without it without experiencing actual
suffering This condition of things does
not exist in New York. It's buy, STEAL
beg, or freeze.
No Relief in Sight.
Many have held back in buying coal,
thinking thai when the strike is adj
justed and the miners return to work,
the market will Immediately resume
its normal condition. This is a mis-
taken idea gentleman from New
York, who is a prominent Pennsylva-
mia mine magnate, was talking in Sa-
vannah yesterday of the strike. He
said that were the strike declared off
tomorrow, it would be three months
before -25 per cent. of the mines would
be running under normal conditions.
and that six months would have
elapsed before the mines would be
operated as usual.
The mines, he said are in a fearful
condition Many are flooded and 9TH
ers are caved in, while the machinery
in every mine in the district is sadly
in need of repair.
