London, April 22.-The allotments of
stock of the new shipping corporation
were all taken up by British members
of the syndicate at noon. What pro-
portion was given to Europe the Nor
gans decline to announce, but evidently
1t was not nearly so large as desired by
the British interests.
j. Pierpont Morgan is now in Paris,
but from other members of the firm it
is learned that the shipping corpora
zion will be run almost exactly on the
same lines as the United States Steel
corporation, each branch retaining it's
individuality, but being subject to the
control of the directing body. The
statements intended for the stockhold-
ers of the new corporation regarding
earnings, management, etc, will be is
sued by method similar to the one
now employed by the Steel corporation.

The Savannah morning news. (Savannah, Ga.) 1900-current, 1902-08-10

In these modern days of the new
world. 1t is refreshing to feel that one
of the most powerful of individuals
living is strong in the belief that it is
good for the soul of man to go regu-
larly to church. 1t is insisted on by
the Kaiser of Germany that each man
in his great army shall appear once a
month at a Kirche. In compliance,
therefore, with this order the men US
ually go in body, and special times
are set apart for respective regi-
ments, or parts of regiments, when APP
propriate services are held for them in
the most important churches of their
stations.
There is perhaps no one Of these
services more interesting than that
which takes place in the old Thomas
kirche at Leipsic, world famous
through it's identification with Johann
Sebastian Bach.
This ancient church, a good example
of early Gothic, is very spacious, and
of an austere, uncompromislng charac-
ter. 1t shelters at the 10 O'Clock serv-
ice held on the first Sunday of every
month, something over 1000 men. This
means naturally that the galleries and
seats are occupied wholly by belted
and sworded defendants of the land.
That a woman should go to this
service is an almost unheard of event,
unless perhaps an officer, high
enough in rank to pursue his own will,
should choose to let a sweetheart, or
even a sister, share with him his chief
seat in the synagogue. Only short
time ago however, two American wo-
ment with no other backing than a
silver piece and a smile for a good
natured guard, were permitted to take
seats In a secluded corner and remain
throughout the impressive service. The

show her off. But he held her by the
Arm just the same for fear that some
one would run out of an Alley and
grab her.
When he had Beaut wearing his
Photo in her Watch he wanted all the
World to know about it.
Furthermore, he was the kind that
would take Friend with him when he
vent calling on No. l. He wanted the
Girl thought the World of Papa 1t
was Fine Business for the Friend to
sit over on the Far Side of the Room
and watch them hold Hands, now and
then stealing a little Old Hug. The
Friend must have enjoyed every Min
ute of it.
Once in a While the busy Lover
would look over at Friend and tip him
the Wink, as if to say, ooh. suppose
this little Party fairly hates me-"
But one Evening when he went out
Hand-Holding and carried his own
Gallery with him he ran into Bunches
of Trouble. The Friend belonged to
the Buttinsky Family and refused to
stay on the Far Side of the Room. He
was a clever two-handed Boy and had
practiced a few Holds of his Own. He
pulled his chair over and made it
Threesome. In about Minutes he
had the Regular Fellow stymied and
Hazel was leaning against him so as
to make his Conversation a Short Car
ry.
Before he left that Evening he had
himself all dated up for Return En-
gagement 1t looked as thought the

sights interesting to see; but what
seemed more overpowering than any
other feature of the service was the
heavy, harmonious noise made by the
swords whenever this large body of
men arose from their seats. 1t was
like the roar of distant. disturbed
thunder. The many, strong voices
raised in simple tuneful hymns,
and accompanied by wind in
struments, created also an impression
long to be remembered. Happily, the
guard had not sene the camera under
the arm of one of the ladies'; further
than this, the accompanying pictures
speak louder than words.
In the history of music as well as
arms the Thomaskirche holds an inn
portant place. 1t was here that for
many years Johann-Seba Bach
played the organ. Here also he insti-
tuted the motetta, the blending of
voices in song without instrumental
aid. And here still every Saturday at
i o'clock the motetta is rendered in
commemoration of the great compos-
er. On these days about thirty of
the finest voices in Germany can be
listened to without entrance fee or de-
n1and of any sort. Among them all
young voice scars higher than that Of
any other boys in the world, except
ing always the "Pope's angel" in
Rome Always the Thomaskirche is
crowded with the simple folk of Leip-
sic and the outlaying country, eager
to hear the motetta. Housewives leave
their duties, merchants their affairs
and children their play at the first
stroke of the bell announcing the hour.
Nowhere else in the world, perhaps,
can so prosaic-looking an audience be
seen listening to such severely classic
music.
Alongside of the church is pointed
out to the stranger an old, quaint
house, in the first floor of which Bach
made his home and conceived the
greater number of his almost SUPER
human compositions. His windows can
be seen in the accompanying photo
graph.
Such indeed are few of the oppor-
tunities and sentiments that enter into
the lives of the fifteen hundred Ameri-
can girls and men now studying music
In Leipsic.

ard he missed Step and tried to walk
up one side of her, she began to have
a dim and twinkling Suspish that this
Boy Wonder was a Shine.
He certainly did not look to be such
a Much at any Game. She was horri-
bly, disappointed.
Buttinsky helped Matters a lot by
trying to undermine Mr.. Wisenstein,
who had been saying all the Nice
Things about him. Every time he got
the Princess backed on a Sofa he did
a Hammer Solo. For instance, he ad-
vised her to have no Dealings with a
Man who drank. He said that Wisen-
stein was Nice Fellow, But. Then
for about 30 minutes the absent Wisen-
stein would get his.
About the time that the Princess be-
gan to class Buttinsky as a False
Alarm SO far as Accomplishments were
concerned, she started in to be Indig-
nant because he roasted one who al
ways spoke so Lovely of him.
AS for Wisenstein, when she came
right out and asked him about his
Habits, he owned right up and leaned
on her Shoulder and said his only Hope
was to get a Good Woman to Reform
him. Which, probably, was a very
foolish Move.
Then when she remembered how
Magnanimous he had been, always
speaking we'll of a Certain Person who
had tried to sew Buttons on him, she
perceived that Wisenstein was one of
Natures Nohleman. He contradicted
her at first, but finally let her have her
own Way. And Mr.. Buttinsky did not
seem to be One Two Seventeen.

ters under him.
From that time on it was Nip and
Tuck. They took all of her Open
Time in one Chunk and divided up be-
tween them.
Sometimes they got on the Rserva-
ton together and then the only one
who had Good Time was the Girl.
The Original Gentleman Friend was
Wisenstein. AS soon as he saw
himself losing out, he began to lay
deep and shifty Plans to head off the
new Entry. A two-by-four chinless
Intellect would have tried to put the
Rival into the Nine-Hole by opening
up on him and telling where he spent
some of his Evenings, but Wisenstein
had read on a sign somewhere that
every Knock is d Boost He knew
that no Fellow ever landed a real
Princess by talking Scandal about the
other Candidates. Accordingly, he
played a deep System. He became
Press Agent for his Friend. He tout
ed Mr. Buttinsky as the real Essence
of Allygazam. He painted him in
four bright Colors and put his Picture
in every Window.
When he got the Girl aside he would
tell her that dear old Buttinsky was
one of. the most charming Chaps in

because he knew them from A to H.
gard and could get rid of Literary Talk
in Style calculated to charm a Bird
out of a Tree. And as for dear old Art,
he was supposed to be the Man who
wrote it,
Buttinsky did not know that he was
being Autographed as a Phenom.
When the Princess urged him to trot
out his Accomplishments he thought
she was so Sticky on him that every

uotches for his hands and feet with
jack-knife, already half worn to the
hilt.r Out from under the stupendous
arch he painfully worked his way, and
around the bare face of the two-hun-
dred-foot- high precipice. Each step
might be his last The loosening of
twig, or a stone or If faintness should
again overcome him, meant certain
death. Strong men wept and women
shrieked, expecting to see him dashed
at their feet, while his mother and
sisters prayed on. But he reached the
top at last, hours after, or so near it
that he was drawn up by hundred
eager hands, more dead than alive.
The only material error in the publish
ed story is in regard to the color of
his hair. The old reading book says
that when drawn up, his hair was
white as snow, though he was only Il
years of age. An old gentleman now
living near the Bridge, who says he
was an eyewitness to the scene, de-
clares that Piper's hair turned gray in
less than year after his famous ex-
plot and that never afterwards could
he bear to look from any elevation
even from a second-story window,
without an almost irresistible impulse
to fling himself over.
One of the best descriptions ever CIV
en- of the Natural Bridge may be found
in Jefferson's Notes on Virginia" A
very full description of it also appears
in the official French reports of our
Revolutionary war, including measure
ments taken, from which the first pic
lures were made. After the surren-
der of Yorktown Lafayettes army re-
naming in camp, j com pany Of staff
officers and French engineers made
horseback trip to this place. In 1918
the commonwealth of Virginia convey
ed forty-six. acres, including this
bridge, to Thomas Jefferson and after
his presidency ne surveyed the land
himself and put it in charge of two
faithful black servants, who lived here
thirty years and are buried here side
by side. jefferson left the estate in
his will to his daughter, Mrs. Ran
dolph. The road over the Bridge has
been used as a turnpike since 1899.

What gives the "Story OF Mary McLane' its only excuse for
publicity? Its suggesfveness? its brliancy of wit? its subtlety of
sarcasEf its originality Of ideas7 None of thesef The book is not
stEikingly nasty its flashes OF wit are not so frequent as to blind the
readers eyes; its attempts at irony are often ponderous and far
tetcfed and its boldest originality consists in a brazen confession Of
shamelessness3 lack OF the sentimen Of common decency.
But still the book has a Legitimate claim upon the interest of the
respectable reader, despite its commonplaceness and crudty.. And in
that claim is the hope Of the obscure and embryo writer.
No matter how crudey it may be done, there is a sure welcome
waiting for the author who lets us WATCH the workings Of an
AVERAGE HUMAN MIND, who uncovers the SENSATIONS of
an ORDINARY SOUL, who takes the cap off and allows US to
SEEaTHE MENTAL WHEELS co ROUND who lets us look
upon the Decentralization Of genuine human emotion. HAT
WRITER is GOING TO HAVE HEARINGl And he need not
descend to nastiness to gain his audience, either. It will not be nee
lessary so long as he gives US the real thing in other lines. The
truth about trivial things is often interesting and EVERY
HEARTS BEATS QUICKER when it is INVITED TO SHARE
TIE SECRET THOUGHT Of another mind on the deeper prob
lens OF life. And how seldom are those thoughts actually sharedl
Often we pretend to do so-alnost every book published is a pre-
tense Of this kind-but the drapery Of conventionalty is generally
Rugged about our mental ~nakedness.
On many lines it is far better thus-and the exposure Of a mind
vulgar and deformed is revolving. The soul which can boast Of moth.
ing but its nakedness has no call to reveal itself.
But there are sure laurels for the literary novice Of average
mental and emotional force who will THINK u LOUD-which
Is to say on paper-about the INSIDE EXPERIENCES which are
COMMON TO ALL HUMANITY.
lis IS HI SHORTEST ROAD POSSIBLE TO QUICK
LITERARY SUCCESS, and it need not lead into the mire, either.
