GENTLEMEN AND MANNERS.

The three gentlemen" who attacked
Attorney General Knox in an Atlantic
City restaurant, Messrs. Charles T.
Theodore Cramp. have been heard from
through the medium of newspaper in
terviews. The details of the encounter
have been sufficiently exploited. 1t
had its origin in the use in a public
restaurant by the gentlemen" named
of offensive language, in the presence
of a party including the Attorney Cen
eral and several ladies. Messrs.
Schoen, Stephenson and Cramp admit
that in essential details the published
reports are correct. But, wonderful to
relate, they affect to be surprised that
all the blame should be placed upon
them! They are of the opinion, ap-
parently, that Mr.. Knox was equally
culpable with them, because he came
over to their table and denounced their
conduct, thereby precipitating the mix
up.
Mr.. Schoen says mfr. Cramp is a
regular Chesterfield and that Mr..
Stephenson is like him." and yet Mr..
Schoen admits that all had been drink
ing considerably and were in a jolly
mood. Mr.. Stephenson goes a little fur
Their. He holds that they are all gen.
tlemen, but that Schoen was drunk
and '1mmoderate in his language, be-
cause he is always so when drinking"
Because of this immoderate language
the three men were politely request
ed to desist." That is how Stephenson
phrases 1t; yet Notwithstanding this
polite request" he says: Naturally
we were indignant, and remarks were
made accordingly" In his statement
Mr.. Schoen tries to cast odium upon
the Attorney General and his party by
the repeated statement that he saw
no cambria tea" on their table, there
by seeking to create the impression
that something stronger was being
served.
All of this goes to throw light on
what is, or may be. considered cor
rect department on the part of a gen.
tleman in certain circles of society
created by an aristoeracy of wealth.
Schoen is rated as a millionaire:
Cramp and Stephenson are rich, and
are connected with prominent fami-
lies. No doubt each is a man of edu-
cation, having had abundant oppor-
tunities to acquire polish and Informal
ton. All agree in asserting that each
is a gentleman. And yet these three
rich. educated and influential gentle
men" used vulgar and outrageous Ian
guage in the presence of ladies, became
naturally indignant when politely
requested to desist, and assaulted the
men who protested. Not only did they
! assault. but struck below the belt.
Stephenson says with some evident
display of satisfaction that he swung
just as hard as he could and aimed to
hit Mr.. Knox in the stomach Not
even in the prize ring is such foul
fighting permitted. Even among
toughs there must be no striking be-
low the belt. Taking even a most
charitable view of the affair, one can
not avoid the conclusion that the code
of ethics obtaining among gentlemen
like the assailants of the Attorney
! General is not precisely the kind one
would wish to recommend to the rising
! generation.

GEN. SMITHS RETIREMENT.

Gen. Jacob Smith. who gave the or
der to make Samar bowling wilder
ness, and to shoot down all insurgents
over ten years of age found with guns
in their hands, has some warm friends
in Ohio, where his people live, and
they are not at all pleased with the
action of the President in retiring him.
as a punishment for his course in the
Philippines. 1t is intimated that 1t is
their purpose to make trouble for the
President. The claim is made that the
Presidents action was clearly Illegal.
He has the power of course to retire
an officer of the army who has reached
as punishment for offenses of which
he was found guilty by a court mar
tial All he can do in reviewing the
finding of military court is to APP
prove, modify or reject the finding and
sentence. That is the position taken by
the friends and advisers of Gen. Smith.
1t is not known of course that Gen.
Smith will take his case into court.
but It is thought to be prob
able that he will. One way
be could do it. is this: On
pay day he could demand the pay due
az an officer in active service. The pay
that will be offered him will be that
due a retired officer. OF course his de-
mand would be refused He could then
begin proceedings for the amount he
claimed, and in that way he could get
a decision from the highest court on
the Presidents action.
There is a suspicion of course that
there was politics in the Presidents
action in retiring Gen. Smith. He
wanted to show the country that he
gid not approve the barbarities prac-
ticed in the Philippines. and he did it
by cutting off the official head, as 1t
were. of Gen. Smith, who had made
himself notorious by his Samar order.
which, it seems. was not intended to
be taken literally.

The gallant cavalryman, Lord Dun
now about to become head of the Cana
dian militia, is not in favor of the
present system of garrisoning colonies
with regiments from the United King
dom. He would have each colony raise
its own troops and look after it's own
Notifications. He also thinks colonial
officers should be appointed to such po-
sitions as he is about to assume.

GEoRGIA.s SYRUP INDUSTRY.


Now that the government has de-
! cided TO assist the cane growers in
this state and Florida to the extent
| of giving them information respecting
the soils adapted to the growing OF
| sugar cane, the kind of fertilizers
which produce the best results in the
| different localities and the methods of
making syrup, there is no doubt that
the interest in syrup making in Geor-
gia and Florida will be greatly stimu-
lated. The syrup output is now large.
but not nearly so large as it will be
if present signs count for anything.
Agents of the Agricultural Depart
ment will be stationed at four points,
namely, Cairo. Quitman. Waycross
and near Guyton. They will be at
their appointed posts before the sea-
son for making syrup begins, and will
give the farmers instruction regarding
the scientific manufacture of syrup.
The result no doubt will be a great
Improvement in the syrup put upon
the market from Georgia and Florida.
The better the syrup the better the
price will be that will be obtained for
1t. One of the reasons why the price
of Georgia syrup has been so low in
past years is it's lack of uniformity.
1t differs greatly in color and quality.
Some of it is excellent and much of it
is worth but little more than the cost
of transportation.
But with all of the instruction the
government agents will be able to fur
nish it will be about impossible to
give a distinctive character to the
syrup. Some of the farmers will take
a great deal of care in making it and
others will be Indifferent. The conse-
quence will be that there will be many
grades of it.
Is this not a good opportunity for
establishing a factory in this city for
mixing and refining the syrup of this
entire section? There is money I'M
doubtedly in such an enterprise. The
syrup could be purchased in all of the
syrup territory tributary to this city
at prices fixed by scientific tests, and
brought here, made into syrups of two
or three grades and put up in attrac-
tive packages. If it were thus ham
died there would be profit in 1t to the
cane growers and to the proposed fac
tory.
There is a good deal in the way in
which an article is prepared for mar
ket and almost as much in the way
in which it is advertised and offered
to the consumer. 1t is evident that
a great factory could do far more to-
wards making a desirable article of
commerce out of the syrup and in find
ing customers for it than hundreds,
perhaps thousands, of farmers could.
Besides great syrup factory, such as
is proposed. would be a notable addi-
ton to Savannah's industries.

REExE AND GAYNoR AT LIBERr,

GREENE AND OA1 NOh Al LIBEhI
The decision of Judge Caron, in the
Greene and Gaynor case at Quebec
yesterday, was not a surprise. 1t is
pretty safe to say that the impression
was quite general among those who
have followed the case that he would
release the fugitives. The fact that he
issued a writ of habeas corpus after
Judge Andrews, a judge of equal jur-
on a similar writ, was thought to
mean that he took a different view of
the case.
The fact is there is a very bitter
feeling in Quebec against the United
States authorities in charge of the
Green and Gaynor case because they
practically said. by their action in get
ting the Commissioner of Extradition in
Montreal to issue a warrant for the
fugitives and kidnapping them, that the
United States could not get justice in
Quebec.
of course the case is not ended.
Judge Caron's decision is not on the
merits of the case. 1t is simply that
the warrant issued by Commissioner Of
Extradition in Montreal was not legal
because it did not contain the date
on which the offense with which Greene
and Gaynor are charged was committed
and did not set forth the offense with
the clearness which the law requires.
The decision is of course on techni-
-technicalities which Judge
Andrews doubtless passed over as be-
ing of so little Importance as not to be
worth noticing. They were sufficient,
however, for an unfriendly judge-un-
friendly to the United States-to base
a decision adverse 10 the United States
upon, though Judge Caron said there
were new points in the petition pre-
sented to him.
The next step of the United States
Will be awaited with interest. 1t is
hardly probable that they will attempt
another kidnapping. Most likely they
will take out warrant from an Ex-
tradition Commissioners Court in
Quebec. and as there is much SYM
pathy for the fugttives in Quebec, the
prospects of getting them back to Sa-
vannah are by no means promising.
If the influence of the British govern
ment should be brought to bear in the
case in favor of the United States the
outlook for the return of the fugitives
would be better, but it is doubtful if
that influence will be used.

Lungs Hung out to Dry"

The York (Pa) Daily prints the fol-
lowing letter from correspondent at
Manitou Springs as serious bit of
news. says the Denver Post. II was
sent to the Denver Post by u consump-
tive, who asks If the statements In it
are true.
This is the greatest place in the
world" says the Manitor correspoa-
dent. Hospitals and san .4I;:.us for
consumptivcs are located in this and
adjacent springs by the score. Re-
stored health and pristine vigor are
guaranteed to all afflicted with pulmo-
nary diseases. The surgeons knife and
climate do the work. If one lung is
affected, it is extracted; if both are
diseased, one is taken out and cured
before the other is eliminated. The
cavities are filled, ad interim, with lint
treated antiseptically
"On any day you can see slung over
the balcony banisters of these hospit-
ais dozens of diseased lungs taking the
dry air cure. Where the human lungs
are nearly gone, the lungs of a calf
or good sized pig are invoked. These
are carefully trimmed to fit; the sur
faces are roughened with a corundrum
file shaped like those used by black
smiths in shoeing horses so that gran
ulation will set in. In three weeks af-
ter the splice. is thoroughly grated the
cuspidor takes a back seat and the
late patient energies a renovated be-
ing.
"At first, through sheer carelessness,
the banister-laden lungs led to very
ludicrous mistakes. The numerous lung
lobes, out for cure, were not stamped
and numbered as now. Several years
ago it happened that the Italian basso
absolute opera singer Campinola and
his high soprano wife, Cavatina Patti
mot the oyster kind came here both
afflicted, in the left lobe, with tuber-
culosis. By some means their lung
lobes got mixed, and after they were
respectively planed, glued and secured
and reinserted, his basso lung was
found in her soprano bosom and vice
versa.
THE sequence was that either of
them was enabled thereafter alone to
sing a duet. BY slight contraction
of the oesophagus, the soprano lung in
the husband was made contralto, and
the basso lung in the wife converted
into baritone. AT concert last week
at the opera house at Colorado Springs
1 heard the two sing to perfection the
four parts of the famous quartette of
Bellafglia from Verdis opera of Rig
oletto.'
I'm bronchial troubles the calf and
the pig are again brought into requis-
ition. The membraneous tissues of the
larynx are cut out ready for applica-
ton. A flexible round file is then used
upon the patient to rasp out the dis
eased parts of the throat; the tissues
are then glued on and you are then
asked, barberlike, whether you want
the bronchial tubes rinsed out with
bay rum or witch hazel In my case
the surgeon used the tissue of the for
mer of the above animals, saying
didn't need any of the latter. I have
been thinking ever since just what he
meant by that expression

Some time when. in a darkened place
Where others come to weep,

Calm in eternal sleep,
The voiceless lips. the wrinkled brow,

1t is funny about that South Caro-
lima pistol law. Some of the heayy-
weight statesmen of the Legislature
thought they had the pistol-toting
habit killed as dead as a door nail
when they passed a law providing
that no pistol should be sold, offered
for sale or given away in the state
unless it weighed three pounds and
measured twenty inches in length.
But the law said nothing about
hiring pistols. Now, so 1t Is
reported, some of the dealers
in the state are hiring" pistols for
indefinite periods and charging for
the hire the price at which the arms
were formerly sold" 1t seems an
agreement is signed to the effect that
the ownership of the pistol remains
vested In the dealer and that he NAV
call for its surrender at any time. But
OF course he never calls for it. and
the person who hires has no fear that
anything of the kind will ever occur.
1t seems that the South Carolinians
have become past masters in the art
of evading laws since the unwelcome
dispensary abomination was forced
upon them. That statute has served
to educate them in how not to obey.
