tion of the Acton library
4 Il to John Morley is one Of
the most appropriate gifts
ever made by modern millionaire to n
comparatively unafiluent scholar. Time
does bring its revenge in many ways.
When Mr.. Morley began life in London
he did not escape the vicissitudes that
dog the footsteps OF the literary pilgrim
in that vast and inhospitable desert.
He had to sell his own little library to
bring him bread. II he was not too
shabby like DR.. Johnson to show his
nakedness in public; II he had not to
cultivate his genius like Goldsmith in u
Grub street garret on the crumbs that
fell from his booksellers table; il he
did not in fine experience the pangs Of
starvation like De Quincy he was by
no means exempt from the terrors that
assal the embryo man of letters, maxi
ing his way through the arid steppes
and wastes that lie on each side of the
path of the youth who hangs his lug
gage on his pen on the journey of life.
London is today an infinitely more
than it was when Mr.. Morley began to
explore it. Newspapers have multiplied
indefinitely, so have periodicals and
compilations of various kinds which
may by stretch Of the imagination be
| called literature. The kind of task
work which devotion to journalism and
ephemeral letters entails Mr.. Morely
may have loathed; for while engaged in
it. he produced works which are clas-
sizes. He would be the last man to
utter a supercilious word or entertain
n contemptuous thought of modern
journalism. But as it does not require
mechanical genius to run locomotive
or profound scholarship to edit news
paper, the world would have been the
richer had Mr.. Morley devoted to con-
structural literature the years he was
chained through poverty at the desk of
newspapers or magazine.
The Acton library Is one of the most
select collection of books in private
hands in the world. Lord Acton was a
scholar of European reputation. The
pity of it is that he read and thought
so much and wrote SO little. Although
he succeeded James Anthony Froude as
historical lecturer at Oxford, one small
erudite volume is all that is left to COM
memorate the scholarship of the pupil
OF Ranke, the man who was envied for
his learning by Monsen and the silent
partner of Gardiner in his historical
researches.
1t may be believed that Mr.. Carnegie
has made the very disposition of his
library which Lord Acton himself
would have wished. To have public
disposition of it would have been a
misapplication in this instance, for In
the library Of a scholar can only a
scholar find mental nutriment. The
Acton library under John Morley's
guardianship will produce those tangi-
BILE dividends which only such an in
Lefatigable and brilliant writer can
CLEAN from it's inexhaustible treasures.
There is some consolation in the fact

~HE POINT made bv the New
York Tribune, that the Shen-
andoah riot was a natural
elimination of long series
Of tolerated breaches of the peace. in
Guiding intimidation and abuse of men
seeking to support their families by
working in the mines, hanging of eff
gies, stone-thrOwing, cat calls, boy
cotting in hundred variations and
other outcroppings of disrespect for the
legal rights of non-strikers, as we'll as
social ostracism of the wives and chill
dren of men electing to remain at work /;
and that the ignorant foreigners who
got mixed up in the Shenandoah fracas
are morally less to blame than the
peace officers who have tempOri2ed
with and thereby encouraged these
antecedent acts and sequences of law
lessness. is true and timely
1t is another case of sowing the wind
and reaping the whirlwind. The great
body of English speaking miners, and,
ordinarily. most of the mine workers
not proficient in the use of the English
language are law-abiding and law-re-
specting. But where prolonged en-
couragement is given through official
apathy or public timidity to the idea
that strike time is time Of license and
that customary restraints do not apply
when strife exists between labor and
capital it is not surprising that pas
sion and prejudice go from bad to
worse.
The troops, of course, will put stop
to open violence. Their presence will
also in some measure restrain the dis
position of some strikers and many
sympathizers to interfere forcibly with
men seeking. work. TO require troops
to enforce the lesson that liberty be-
longs to no class or group In the COM
munity, but to all, is sorry testl-
monial to the thoroughness of our
civilization; and it is to be hoped that
conditions may improve until the in
terposition of the military will some
time cease to be common incident of
industrial progress. In the meantime,
facing facts as they are, the surest way
to render the presence of soldiers
superfiuous in the coal fields will be
for every striker to be taught by his
leaders and to recognize In his per-
sonal conduct that the right to work is
Just as essential as the right to strike

HOW ABOUT BEEF TRUST?

Snvannahinns Wonder What the
Grand Jury Expects to Do.
There is a constantly growing won
der in the minds of Savannah people
If the present grand jury proposes to
do anything towards the indictment
of the beef trust or its representatives.
Despite Judge Barrow's double charge
on this subject and his expressed
opinion that the trusts methods of
doing business constitute violations of
the criminal laws of the state, the
grand jury has as yet taken no step
whatever towards the return of in
dictments.
Judge Barrow has placed the sher-
ifs entire force of deputies at the
disposal of the grand jury, in secur
ing evidence as to the violation of
law by the beef trust the gamblers
or any other offenders, but with the
exception of the grand jury's regular
officer. appointed at the beginning Of
the term, the services of the deputies
have not been required.
1t is rather expected that something
will be done in the matter of the beef
trust and its alleged violations of law
at the next session of the grand jury
which will probably be held next Fri
day. This, however, is a mere mat
ter of. conjecture. as the grand jurors
preserve their own counsel on the sub
iect and refuse to discuss it.

SOLDIERS AS POLICEMEN.
When on Duty They Keep the Peace
Tybee Island.

Tybee was the Mecca yesterday for
hundreds who would escape the heat.
Street cars running to the Tybee depot
just before train time. in the after
noon were packed. The seats were fill
ed. passengers stood between seats, and
men stood on the running boards, hang
ing on the best they could. The af-
ternoon trains carried large crowds to
the island, and everybody made a
break for the pavilions and the beach.
A run was made on bathing suits and
the bath houses at Graham's and at
Bohans. Both places are popular with
the crowds, and before each there were
hundreds of heads bobbing up and
down in the. surf.
Order was excellent during the day.
In fact, all this season there has been
good order on Tybee. This has been
secured by a departure in the way
of policing the island.
Soldiers from Fort Screven serve as
police. Some of the men have ar
ranged so that they serve as policemen
while relieved from soldier duties.
They answer roll calls and do their
guard and camp duty when their turn
comes. AT other times they add to
their pay by serving as officers of the
law.
Each of the soldiers is provided with
a badge, which sets forth that he is
a policeman. There are three on duty
during the day, and it is noted that
they are able to cope with a crowd
like that of a Fourth of July.
The fact that the policemen are SOL
diers is responsible for this. If one
of the policemen needs aid at any
time, and there are any of his COM
rades within hearing, they lend 1t. The
soldiers not serving as policemen are
themselves disposed to keep particu-
larly good order because their COM
rades are trying to keep the peace.

DAY AT THE CASINO.
Few Afternoon Attractions and the
Crowd Late in Going Out.

Few Afternoon Attractions and the
Cr@wd Late in Going Out.
Only a fair crowd was at the Thun-
derbolt Casino yesterday and because
of the heat and the fact that there
was no special attraction other than
the band concerts, the greater part of
the visitors did not go out until late
in the afternoon.
Many of those that went out earlier
did SO under the impression that an
other attempt would be made to sent
up the balloon, but no such attempt
was made as the management of the
Casino has reached the conclusion that
the big bag, which had resisted sue
cessfully some half dozen trials to
send 1t on an aerial trip, is no good,
and that any further effort with it
would be but so much time wasted
AS soon as possible a new balloon will
be got and one or more ascensions
made.
The Casino promises another good
vaudeville show this week, the pro-
gramme consisting of the Allen Apple
ton Company in AN Interrupted Woo
ing" the Great Mitchells, singers, cake
walkers and whirlWind dancers; the
Ardath Sisters, duetists, and the Great
Robin, comedy juglar. A performance
will be given each night and matinee
each afternoon except to-day.
1t is probable that Sunday another
regatta of the Atlantic Yacht Club
will be sailed Thus far there have
been but two successful races, in one
of which the May B. was the winner,
and in the other the Meta w. These
races in future will be started at 4
o'clock instead of 4:30, as they were
formerly.

AT FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH.
Pulpit Filled During DIR. Jordan's

Pulpit, Filled During DIR. Jordan's
Absence by Rev. j. r.. StratOn.
Despite the warm weather a fair con-
gregation attended the service at the
First Baptist Church last night. Rev.
DR.. ]. D. Jordan preached short SER
mon, an explanation and commentary
on the first four chapters of Corin-
thians, and at it's close conferred the
rite of baptism on young man who
recently Joined the congregation.
AS has already. been announced Rev.
DR.. Jordan will probably take a vaca-
ton, beginning about Aug. l. During
his absence the pulpit will be filled by
Rev. John Roche Straton, a young
minister who has preached here before
and who is well known to Savannah
ians.
There will be several changes in the
choir shortly, also. Mrs. M. Ed. Wilson,
the soprano, Will leave tomorrow to
spend the summer North in visits to
friends in Cincinnati, Chicago and
Milwaukee. Her place will be taken by
Miss Agnes Kenney, who formerly
filed similar place in the choir of
the Cathedral of st. John the Baptist.

NO TRIALS THIS WEEK.

Presence of Painters Renders SUI
perior Court Room Impossible.
There will be no jury trials in the
Superior Court this week. The painters
and decorators now engaged in reno
waiting the interior of the building have
erected scaffolding that fills the Supe-
rior Court room from end to end and
from side to side and if jury did at
tempt to try case it would have to
be perched on a ladder for the pur-
pose.
There are a number of important
criminal cases to be tried and the in
tention had been to dispose of some of
them during the present week. On ac-
count, however, of the presence of the
painters and their scaffolding it was
determined to postpone consideration of
these cases until the room has been
cleared.
In the meantime Judge Barrow will
be occupied in hearing motions and dis
posing of other business that does not
require the intervention OF a jury. In
the pressure of jury trials a considera-
BILE amount of such business has &C
oumulated and it will be possible dur
ing this week of inability to try jury
cases to get many of the motions off
the calendar.

VEGETATION NEEDS RAIN.
Both Town and Country show IF
Gets Of Hot. Dry weather.

Gets o. HOT, Dry weather.
Trees, shrubs, flowers and grass in
the city are showing the effects of
the excessively hot weather and the
need of rain. In the city, however
the Park and Tree Commission seeks
to overcome the weather conditions,
and the verdure is watered regularly.
1t is into the country. therefore, that
one has to go to get a true idea as to
the need of rain.
Plant life responds to the efforts
made in the city to keep it fresh and
vigorous. Artificial watering, how
ever, does not accomplish quite the re
suits that follow copious showers, and
there is a longing for rain that can
only be satisfied by a steady down
pour. The members of the Park and
Tree Commission who take the chief
interest in their work are hoping each
day that such rains may come.
Capt. c. s. Ellis, vice chairman of the
commission. says that it is having
about all it can do now to keep things
wet Its forces are busy watering trees
and flowers and grass, and only such
efforts as they are making can pre-
serve Savannah's arboreal beauty.
Truck farmers have about given up
in despair. Their garden stuff has been
almost ruined. Watermelons and canta-
lcupes stand in great need of rain, and
the latter are about to fail because of
the drought.

Savannah Council No. 1, of the Order
of American Firemen will hold it's an

WHY TRAINS BACK IN.
Some Have Wondered why They
We're Not Pulled Into station.

Some Have Wondered why They
Were Not Pulled Into station.
Passengers who have been anxious,
for one reason or another, to arrive
in Savannah as soon as possible, have
wondered why it was that their trains
were not pulled into the Union Station,
instead of being backed in. Backing
in is a process that requires about tif-
teen minutes-time that the passengers
have sometimes thought they would
like to utilize in the city.
The explanation as to why the trains
are not pulled in is simple enough, an
official conaected with the Union Sta
ton said yesterday. There are three
reasons. One of these is because the
station is not smoked and begrimed
by the engines, when these are at the
farther end of the shed. Too much
money was spent in the characterization
of the structure to have the results
spoiled by coal smoke, when that can
be avoided
Another reason is that Savannah is
the terminus of the run of but few of
the trains that enter the station. II
the through trains did not run out on
the Y and back into the station, they
would have to run on the Y when de-
parting, in order to turn around. 1t
would be about six Of one and half d
dozen of the other, as time would be
lost either way.
Still another reason Is that the con-
venience of passengers is consulted in
backing into the station The sleepers
and passenger coaches are placed near
the front. whereas, if the engines came
in first. they would be far to the rear.
