very pleasing to Shippers, ana partlc-
ularly the cotton trade. Cotton was
late in it's active movement and since
il began coming to port freely
the receipts have been much larger
than for the corresponding days last
year.
The steamship Lustleigh returned to
Savannah yesterday in tow, with her
propeller broken. An account of her
accident appeared in the Morning News
yesterday, and the supposition that her
propeller was gone was correct. The
cause of the accident is unknown. A
survey was held during the day. and
il was recommended that part of the
cargo be discharged, and a new pro-
peller shipped. This will be done by
discharging the cargo in the stern, and
weighing down the bow. John Rourke
& Sons will do the work.
The big Pulaski monument in Mon
terey Square was brought to Savannah
from New York in 1855 in the schooner
Edward Kidder under command of
Capt Tyler. The Kidder was piloted
up by Capt. w. II. Spencer, then
known as the boy pilot" of the Sa-
vannah river The Kidder came to
the wharves drawing only s feet of
water, the monument being little more
imam ballast IOf neF. MI. anu MIS-.
George Ashe came as passengers on
the Kidder.
The arrival of the British ship Kent
mere at New York the other day, aft
er a voyage of 1877 days out from Eio-
go, Japan, caused intense suffering to
the crew. The supply of lime juice.
which all vessels flying the English
flag are required by the British mari
time laws to carry, ran out before the
long voyage was half done, and as a
result scurry invaded the crew. Drop
sly developed and the men began to
succumb Seven were helpless in
their hunks when the Kentmore ar
rived. Medical attention was given
the survivors by quarantine officers
and chances for their recovery are
possible.
The reference here yesterday to the
religious work of Rev. Richard Webb
among seamen was read by some who
we'll remember his efforts. Rev. Webb
visits the Port Society building, and
still takes an interest in sailors while
in port though not as active in his
work among them as formerly.

bility of More Intelligent Workers in Fac
tories" Mr.. Crosby, as a member of a
hrm where large number of mechanics
and laborers are employed, was able 20
give practical viewssEn the subject He
exemplified clearly the lack of many of
those employed in factories and other
industrial institutions where intelligence
Is needed. He showed where a man, with
the basis of a good education and good
common sense, would not only be an ad-
vantage to the man for whom he work
ed, but likewise for himself, both in re-
gard to the money he would receive and
the intelligent pleasure the ACCOMPLISH
ment Of his work would give him.
What Can Girls Do?" was the subject
of paper presented by Mrs Meredith.
OF the state experimental station. Mrs,
Meredith showed that the limit Of the
possibilities of girls was far away in
every respect, and that none could hope
to see it, as it grew with each broadening
year. She said that in past years the
duties Of the girls were clearly defined
in the household arrangements. and that
outside of that she could not presume
to go. Now, however, this was All
changed, and the girl of today could al
most be relied upon to do any thing that

require his muscular strength.

Lii Lehman Discusses american Women

Few great people look the part
Madame Lii Lehman is one of those
few. Her whole appearance is curiously
suggestive of Wagner's music. Her eyes
great dark eyes they are, with tragic
shadows in their depth-f1ash forth the
intensity of those Northern goddesses the
great composer created out of fire and
snow. Her well set head suggests that
spear maiden, Brunhilde. Her straight
hthe form is distinctly Wagnerian. But
1t is when she speaks in that low, richly
colored, deliciously foreign-marked and
peculiarly sad voice of hers that the i'm
preston first created becomes most com
plete. Voices always tell tales. Madame
Lehmann's voice tells that she has ac-
complished big things in the world; that
she is familiar with the great thoughts
of the world; but it tells, also, that she
Is by no means a happy woman.
However, Madame Lehman in a short
talk with 7 h e G o b yesterday was
by no means so conf1ding as her express
I've voice: She herself chose the subject,
and 1t happened to be the American
Woman. Poor American Womani Ger
tainly- she has had every opportunity of
seeing herself az others-as foreigners
see her. No wonder she is inclined to
put herself in the singular number and
write herself in capitals.
You are lazy, you American women. -
commented Madame Lehman. She her
self loked very resposeful in her loose
pink eiderdown robe, lounging in a ca
pacious arm chair in her very comfortable
parlor at the West hotel in Minnea polls.
And it was twelve o'clock! But great
people are the exceptions to the rules
of life. Foreigners, too. have a fashion
of inventing impossible laws for the
American woman and of feeling aggra-
waited when she doesn't carry them out.

FEW HOURS TOOSOON
MRS. SUSIE EIGERMAN MISSES d.
VORCE BY TWENTY
THREE HOURS
HER HUSBAND DESERTED HEE
Proceedings Were Commenced 3G4
Days and One Hour After Mr..
Eigerman Left His
Home.

Because suit was begun too soon, Judge
Kelly yesterday filed an order dism1ss1ng
the case of Susie Eigerman against Phil
lip Eigerman in which the plaintiff asked
to be granted q. divorce on fairgrounds OF
desertion. The law requires that in order
to secure divorce the desertion must be
willful and Of one years duration and 1t
must be intended as permanent. In this
case the desertion was not OF one years
duration but of 3S4 days and 1 hour, as
the testimony proved.
The parties In the case were married
at La Crosse In 1886 and have one child
At II o'clock on the night Of Nov. 4,
1900, the defendant left his home in North
St. Paul and has not returned. The
plaintiff met him in Minneapolis few
DAVIS after he left, when he told her that
he was not going to live with her longer.
Accordingly on Nov. 4, 1901, she started
suit for divorce on grounds Of desert1on.
Judge Kelly, in his order dismissing the
case, explained his position as follows:
ITO entitle one to a divorce for deser-
ton, the defendants absence must be
Willful, must be intended to be perma-
nent, and this intent must continue for
the statutory time In this case Qf there
is anything more than mutual agree
ment to separate and for plaintiff to sue
for divorce) the court could not possibly
flnd the intent to desert until after the
Minneapolis meeting, which clearly fails
to show the statutory period of one
years wi1lful desertion
1.-THE statute requires 36S days desertion,
not, as in this case, 364 days and one hour,
which Is the exact proven time, if we
count from the hour when defendant left
North ST. Paul to the date plaintiff
brought suit.
1.-THE statute is bad enough in all con-
science, and the court will not shorten
the time by INDUCING IN the legal fic-
ton that there are no hours in day.

The interviewer intimated that doubt

siderate enough to change the subject.

censor. ''She should take long morning

pure and simple, no one could have criti-
cised Madame Lehman, for her hands
are exquisite. They are singularly young
hands, beautifully shaped, small and very
white. They were absolutely ringless yes

beauty. Unlike most foreigners-if one

Having a Systematized Method Of Aiding
Pupils to Pay for Their Own Education"
Assistant superintendent J. D. Bond
thought one-fourth of the time now given
to school work could be used for indus
trial education, without impairing the
scholastic efficiency of the schools, and
in his paper on that subject he showed
where scholastic economies could be
made to bring about the desired end. He
found in the present system many little
losses of time on studies that were, as
rule, Of little or no Importance which.
If the time were devoted to industrial
education, would result in a great saw
ing.
s. H. Comings read a paper on GORE
spondence,'' in which he showed that
one of the great needs of the present
day education was a knowledge of the
science Of Intelligent letter-writing. That
there We're many well education students
of today who could not write letter
that would compare with that written by
an office boy was only too true. He la
mented this fact, saying that in a great
many cases a persons character and
ability are judged by the letters they
write, and their inability to do This has
often caused them considerable loss.
