"wAom the Stage Demora1ines."

Romeo De Ranter was crossing a
bridge when his attention was attracted
by the shrieking of some one in the
murky depths below him, says Judge
1t being quite dark, he could not see
the person who was evidently in dan
ger; but, guided by the calls for help,
he rushed to the side of the bridge,
poised for moment on the railing,
and leaped into the river, shouting,
Keep UP your courage, girl!
will save yuh!'
Once in the water, he swami with
steady strokes to her side and seized
her in his strong clasp. There was
but little current, and he called,
Tell the stage hands to shake her
up little! This scene will go bad
from the 'front.'"
But the water remained calm, and
he slowly dragged the dripping form
of the young woman to land. With
strenuous efforts he lifted her to the
shore and clambered after her.
That calcium man is rotten" he
growled. Il should have had the
spotlight from the time 1 jumped"
Even when the people who had wit
messed his feat rushed up to congrat-
ulate him on his bravery he would not
listen to. them, but strobe off. mutter-
ing
And they didn't have any one back
of the set to throw up a bucket of wa
ter to make a good slash. Miserable
stage management! What is the DRAM
mer coming to, anyhow"

ONE INDUSTRY CHECKED.

In discussing the financial outlook a
day or two ago Mr.. Thomas F. Ryan,
one of the ablest of the New York
financiers, gave a number of reasons
why he expected to see securities COM
manding higher prices in the very
near future. Among them were the
following: THE manufacture of secur-
tiles has practically stopped" Money
is gradually growing easier"
1t is certainly time that the man
ufacture of securities was stopped, for
a time at least, unless the securities
were based upon something more solid
than are many of those which have
been issued since the beginning of the
present prosperous period.
Mr.. Ryan is happy in the use of the
word manufacture" as applied to the
making of securities, for stocks and
bonds have been literally manufacture
ed, often out of practically nothing.
And the market has been oversup-
piled. Only a day or two ago the
newspapers were full of talk of I'M
digested securities. AS long as there
is in the market an abundant supply
of securities of this kind it would be
mistake to manufacture more secur-
titles, particularly of the kind that
doesn't digest quickly. Doubtless the
amount of these undigested securities
will check important and meritorious
enterprises because of the difficulty of
floating additional bonds and stocks.
ever, if times continue good, the man.
ufacture of securities may be resum-
ed, though it is doubtful if the in
dustry will be conducted on as large a
scale for many years as it has been in
the past three years.

MIR. GOULD AND PROSPERITY.

Mr.. George ]. Could who has just
returned from a trip through the
West, expresses the opinion that there
will be an abundance of prosperity in
that section for at least twelve months.
The prospect for the wheat crop is
the best that he has ever seen, he
says, and there iS no reason why the
corn crop should not be an abundant
one.
This is good news from the West, and
if Mr.. Gould had Travelled through the
South he would have arrived at the
conclusion that conditions are just as
good in this section as they are in the
West. AS far as anybody can see there
is no reason why there should not be
prosperous times for several years.
Why then is it that Mr.. Gould and
others who are prominent at the money
centers give expression to the belief
that troublous times are close at hand?
Mr.. Gould is we'll acquainted with
the financial, business and industrial
situation in every part Of the country.
1t is a part of his business to keep in
touch with it. Why is it that he talks
of twelve months more of prosperity?
Why does he limit prosperity to that
period? What does he see that leads
him to believe that we may reason
ably expect a period of depression
year hence? Does he see any signs of
coming depression? If not why doesn't
he say that, as far as he can see, there
will be a long period of good times?
The fact that he mentions a short pc
Rod for which prosperity is likely to
continue will have the effect of bring
ing about hard times. The people will
begin to look for financial and indus
trial distress and business depression
long before they are in sight, and will
begin hiding away money to protect
themselves against the annoyances
that are inseparable from money pan
les. In that way they will help to
bring about the very condition of
things which it is sought to avoid.
AS far as anybody can see there is
no reason for looking for hard times
this year. Doubtless they will come.
IHey nave come IN the past, ana
there is no reason why they should not
come. again, but it doesn't follow on
that account that they are coming
next year or the year after. A pam
icky season does not necessarily come
once every ten years.
1t looks as If Mr.. Gould had in mind
when he spoke of prosperity continu-
ing at least twelve months more the
fact that hard times come about that
often, and that, as a matter of fact,
he had no reason from his observation
to expect hard times within twelve
months, or, in fact, in fifty months
The only cloud on the financial hori-
zon that is at all threatening is the
mass of unsaleable securities-undi-
gested securities Mr.. Morgan calls
them. The amount of securities of
rather questionable value that have
been issued within the Fast three years
is so vast that it is not surprising that
it has been found impossible to digest
all of them. If they had been
gilt-edged it is doubtful if there would
have been a demand for all of them
at the prices asked.

The unanimity with which the Irish
National Convention accepted the Irish
land bill-the bill introduced into
Parliament several weeks ago by Mr..
Wyndham, Chief Secretary for Ire
land-makes it certain that the bill
will become a law. OF course, it is
not satisfactory to the Irish people
in its present shape, and it is doubt
full if the English ministry expected
it would be. 1t will be changed in
important particulars, but the Irish
people will not get all they would like
TO have. 1t will be better for them
to accept it, however. even If they
fail to get it amended in a single par
ticular. 1t insures them the land, and
that is something for which they have
been striving for centuries. But the
bill will be amended. There is no
doubt about that. Mr.. Wyndham, in
his speech introducing it said that he
realized that it was far from perfect,
and that he would welcome suggestions
for improving it.
1t is the most important piece of
legislation affecting Ireland ever in
troduced into Parliament except Mr..
Gladstone's abortive Home Rule bill,
and home rule will come in time. Some
of the Irish leaders want to insist
upon home rule in connection with
the Land Purchase bill, but that would
be a mistake. The two things can
not be mixed with any hope of the
success of either. The English peo
pie are willing the Irish people shall
own the soil of Ireland, but they are
Tot yet ready to grant them home rule.
The time may come when they will be,
and it may come soon. Much depends
upon the kind of leadership the Irish
National party has. If such men as
Mr.. Redmond are kept at the front
the coming of home rule will be has
tened.
The Irish National party holds the
balance of power in Parliament, and
ends it aimed at that have made it
many friends. If it continues to pur-
sue the same wise, conservative course
it will accomplish great things for
Ireland.
There is going to be a long fight
Of course, over amendments to the
Land Purchase bill. 1t is but natural
that the Irish people should strive to
get the land upon as favorable terms
as possible, and their representatives
will not abandon any of their de-
mands as long as there is chance
of their being granted, but they will
not be so insistent as to endanger the
passage of the bill. They want the
bill even if they have to take it with
out amendment. The prospect of own
ing the soil fills them with hope and
happiness and inspires them to put
forth renewed efforts for home rule.

The Problem solved.

Once upon a time there lived a wom-
an whose face was a fright, says the
Baltimore American.
Her eyes were not mates.
And neither was her nose.
Her mouth was a misfit, cut on the
bias and her chin was perennially alb
sent.
Her skin resembled that of the light
er spots on a Mexican dog, and her
color was much more rudy than that
of a brickbat.
She had read assiduously all the in
formation and directions on the how
to-be- beautiful.
She had sent her good money to the
beauty doctors everywhere.
But the only reason she didn't grow
homelier was that in constructing her
originally nature had aimed at the linn
it and hit the bulls-eye.
One day she was walking along the
road toward her home, when she saw
that the floods had undermined a rail-
way bridge.
CHANGING at her watch, she found
that t wasn't running.
But the trains were.
She heard a faint whistle in the dis
lance, and knew at once that II was
the lightning express.
Hastily rushing up the track toward
the oncoming monster, she took off her
new spring poppy hat and waved 1t
frantically at the locomotive.
Seeing the determination in her face,
and fearing she might use her hatpln
on the locomotive if he didn't stop, the
engineer applied the airbrakes and the
reverse lever and stopped
When it became known that she had
saved the train, and perhaps the lives
of many persons, she was a heroine.
And when the papers came out next
day, behold! she was young and pref
ty."
And she wept for joy to know that
at last her wish had come true.

Yesterdays accident to Shamrock
III, which so nearly duplicated that
of Shamrock II in which King Edward
narrowly escaped injury or death,
will be sincerely regretted on both
sides of the ocean. And yet not much
surprise will be expressed. The fact
is that in building these racing ma
chimes the margin of safety is pretty
nearly sacrificed for the sake of light
ness. The mast, a tube of thin Steel
is made just as light as it possibly
can be, dependence being placed on
the stays to sustain it in position un-
der strain. The danger of extremely
light masts has now been demonstrated
on two occasions; and the danger is
not only to the craft in strong winds,
but to all who may chance to be on
board of her. That only one man was
drowned from Shamrock III yesterday
is rather a piece of good fortune and
not the result of precaution. 1t is
somewhat to he regretted that
international rivalry in the con-
tests for the Americas cup has led
to the point of sacrificing seaworthi-
ness for the mere matter of speed.

Altruism has taken a step forward in
Chicago. In one of the new, big fiat
buildings arrangements have been
exclusively to the collection of cham
bermaids. In this department. there
are parlors designed for the accommo-
dation of the maids and their beaux-
counting parlors, in other words. In
most fiat houses the maids are under
the necessity of entertaining their es-
pecial company in the kitchens. 1t is
hoped by the proprietor of this new
departure in Chicago fats that the in
novation will have the effect of making
the girls more contented. and, indeed,
tending to the solution of the servant
problem.

Recent reports show that the work
on the new war vessels is tagging in a
most remarkable manner. The new
battleship Georgia, which was con-
tracted for to be delivered on Feb. IS,
1904, is now but % per cent. completed,
which means that she cannot possibly
be finished in contract time. And so
it is with pretty nearly all of the 9TH
er ships in course of construction. Are
the contractors trying to force the
government back to the system of pay
ing bonuses?

1t is rather difficult to bring ones
self to place confidence in the story
told by Henry Youtsey on the wit
ness stand at Frankfort, KY, in the
Howard trial. Youtsey has shown him
self to be a man unworthy of belief.
And yet, if there is evidence to cor
roborate what he has stated even in
part, there seems to be no ground for
a reasonable doubt that a despicable
conspiracy existed for the purpose of
killing Gov. Goebel and that it actually
resulted in his murder on the capitol
grounds. And, according to Youtsey,
the head and front of that conspiracy
was William S. Taylor, then Governor
of Kentucky. now a fugitive from JUS
tice residing in Indiana. Requisition
for the surrender of Taylor to stand
trial has been made by the Governor
of Kentucky upon the Governor of
Indiana. but the latter official has de-
clined to honor it, on the alleged ground
that he did not believe Taylor could
have fair and impartial trial in Ken
lucky. In view of the recent devel-
opments at Frankfort, the eyes of the
country will be once more turned to
the Governor of Indiana to see what
he is going to do about it,

ONE OF sAVANNAH's NEEDS.

One of the needs of Savannah is
hall large Enough TO accommodate
conventions of state or national inn
portance. She has number of halls
of sufficient capacity to accommodate
audiences of ordinary size-halls that
meet all of the requirements of con-
certs, lectures, ETC., but she has moth
ing that will accommodate an audience
of two or three thousand people. The
need of such a hall has been discussed
at various times within the last few
years. and the matter is in the public
mind again.
A suggestion has been thrown out in
this connection that is worth consider
ing. 1t is that a story be added to
the city market, and that it be so con-
structed that it would answer the city's
need for a hall. 1t would not cost
great deal to put another story on the
present structure and finish it In a
suitable manner for that purpose. Be-
sides, the improvement could be made
quickly and would be paying invest
ment.
1t is true the location is not as desira-
BILE as some others that could be
named, but it is easily reached by the
street cars. A hall over the marker
would be a large one and would ac-
commodate any convention likely to
meet here. With such a hall we
might almost venture to invite the
Democratic National Convention to
come here.
A ceiling fifteen feet high would be
ample for market purposes, and if the
roof We're raised ten feet, which could
be easily done, the result would be a
hall of magnificent proportions. There
would be space enough for committee
rooms and stairways without encroach-
ing on the room needed for the audi
ence.
The market is a strongly constructed
building from basement to roof, and
would sustain any audience that might
gather within it's walls, in the event
of the adoption of the suggestion re-
specting a hall. There might be OBJ
lection to the odor that is found around
a market house, but if the floors were
made tight, the market we'll ventilated
and special attention given to cleanll-
ness that objection would be overcome.
We know of course in a general way
that the Mayor and Aldermen are anx-
ious that the city shall have a large
| hall. This suggestion therefore may
| meet their approval. Anyway, there
can be no harm in their giving it their
consideration, and in considering It
they might take into account the fact
that the hall would be of very great
| benefit to the city, and also to prop
erty in the vicinity of the market.
