The return of Pere Hyacinthe to
Rome and his preaching to great Prot
estant congregations recall an unpub-
llshed episode of his visit to San Fran
cisco years ago, says the New York
Ilmes. He then spoke only French,
and local journal sent to interview
him Piercy Wilson, an eccentric Eng
hshman. who had been bred for the
church, but who had made a speciality
oil the theaters and the turf.
After general talk on his visit and
MS impressions of California, the con-
yersation shifted to religious topics
The intimate familiarity of the repor-
ter with theological questions seemed to
amaze Pere Hyacinthe, and when the
interviewer rose to go, he said with
the puzzled look still on his face:
PARDON me, but you have shown
such astonishing familiarity with ques-
tions that only a theologian usually un-
derstands that l should like to know
with what special department of your
newspaper you are connected?"
Oh" said old Wilson, with dry
humor, I'm the horse reporter!"

A characteristic story lis told of Lord
Charles Beresford when he was a can
didate for Parliament in York four
years ago, says an exchange. At the
close of one of his meetings a solemn
and sedate old clergyman, who had
been seated on the platform, came up
to the candidate, and said, with much
gravity ALLOW me, Lord Charles, the
pleasure of shaking hands with you.
! had the honor of being confirmed,
many years ago,by your respected un-
Gle, the Primate of All Ireland" Lord
Charles instantly shouted in stentorian
tones to his brother, who was near
the door at the other end of the hall:
"Bn! Bill Here's an old parson who
says he was confirmed by old Uncle
John! Come up here and have a talk
with him"

SAVANNAH AT CHARLESTON.

The visit of the First Regiment of
Georgia State Troops the First Batal-
lion of Heavy Artillery (the Guards),
and the Chatham Artillery to Charles
ton is an event that will always be re-
membered by those who participated
in it, as well as by the citizens of our
sister city.
The troops left home in most in
clement weather, but being true SOL
diers, they did not mind the cold and
rain. Notwithstanding the gloomy
forecast and rainy night, the sun
shone brightly when the Georgia troops
took up the line of march in Charles
ton. The steady tramp of the troops
was that Of trained soldiers, and they
passed ever between unbroken lines of
people. Throughout the day there were
evidences of Charleston's hearty well
come to Savannah. No troops ever
made better parade, and no city ever
showed a kindlier feeling toward it's
visitors. There was neither time nor
place for formal courtesies, but that
the Savannahians had a warm place
in the hearts of the Charlestonians was
made manifest by those little atten-
tions and expressions that speak vol
umes.
Charleston has a great exposition;
equal in every respect to that recently
held at Buffalo, and superior to every
thing of the kind that has ever been
attempted south of the Potomac. In
many of its details it is better than
any exposition that has ever been seen
in this country, whether North or
South.
The entire Southeast is interested in
the success of the Charleston Exposi-
tion, and the people of this section
should give it generous support. 1t
seems as though the railroads might
find it would pay them to make the
very lowest rate possible to Charleston,
so as to induce the people of Georgia.
Florida, Alabama and North Carolina
to visit the exposition. Such visits are
educational in their nature. They de-
velop wants and the means for graft
flying them; thus the railroads would
pS compensated LOT tnelr concessions
by the increase of business that would
be brought about by the exposltions S
influence.
1t is to be hoped that the visit of
Savannah's soldiers TO Charleston will
prove the happy harbinger of many
similar rushes to the exposition, and
that thus the undertaking of the peo-
pie of Charleston win be assisted to
that perfect success which it deserves.

The superintendent of public schools
in an Indiana city recently made some
investigations with respect to the Gig
arctic habit among the boys under his
charge. OF 1900 boys he found that
400 were addicted to the habit of smok-
ing cigarettes, and that as rule the
smokers were at least two years behind
the non-smokers in their studies. There
is an anti cigarette law in the city in
question, but it seems almost impossi-
BILE to secure the enforcement of it.

An odd ordinance was offered in the
Louisville City Council the other even

the gospel, of whatever denomination,

An Ohio electrician, or rather elec-
trical scientist, has invented an appa-
ratus which he claims will prove one
of the greatest boons ever known to
mankind. With it he says he can
short circuit" pain and prevent it
from reaching the seat of sensibility,
the brain. For instance, he can at
tach the apparatus to a troublesome
tooth and take the nerve out by the
roots without the patients ever expe-
riencing the slightest unpleasant sem
sation. If that is indeed true-if he
can save mankind the exquisite agony
that the dentist inf1icts with his lit
tie drilling apparatus and forceps-
the inventor win deserve to rank with
the greatest benefactors of the race.

There is a lively war on between the
Hollywood Inn and Palisade Boat
clubs of New York, on the race aues-
tion. Each club has a crack team Of
bow!ers. and between the two teams
there is sharp rivalry. One of the
Hollywood Clubs best bowlers is a
negro of the name of Conick. The
other day the Hollywood people wanted
Conick to bowl in match with the
Palisade people. The latter. however,
declined to have a negro in their allev
on equal terms with the white bowlers,
so Conick was dropped out. The New
York Press describes Conick as being
private secretary to Surrogate Theo-
dore H. Silkman. fine-looking fellow,
gentleman in department and of ex-
cellent education" The only objection
to Conick was on account of his color;
but that objection was sufficient to keep
him out of association with white peo-
pie IN New York. Race prejudice,
therefore, is quite as strong North as

GOV. TAfT'S TALK
HE THINKS A TARIFF IS NECES-
sARY FOR A TIME.
MONEY FOR GOOD GOVERNMENT
Philippine Governor Believes That
When New Avenues Of Trade Are
Opened Small Tariff Would
Be Slight Obstacle.
(By Associated Press.)

San Francisco, Jan. 23.-Referring to
the Philippine tariff In speech before
the Union League clup. before his de-
parture for the East, Governor w. II.
Taft Is reported to have said:
IT know from reading your papers and
talking with some of your merchants,
that you are anxious to have free trade
between the Philippines and America.
In many respects that would be an adj
mirable arrangement, II 1t were possible
to run the government OF the Philip
pines without the indirect taxation IN
volved in levying customs duties.
1T would crafty the commission very
much IL congress would take off alto
gether the tariff imposed by the Ding
ley bill.
IAN we desire Is to have money enough
to run a good government.
MY view is that as soon as trade Is
established and avenues opened, small
tariff will form very slight obstacle
to the course of business between the
Philippines and California"
