In another part Of the decision this
further statement occurs: 1.-The female
plaintiff is a good-looking young wo-
man who stood alone against almost all
the witnesses, against all the evidence,
direct and circumstantial, and the jury
must have been carried off their feet in
sympathy"
Mrs. O'Toole, who is a fine specimen
Of traditional Irish beauty, thereby
achieves the distinction Of being the

standing in the court records. Mrs

ungallant in so finding against her. ~

RATHER ANcIENT.-Some few years
ago, says Illustrated Bits, on one of
our Indian troopships. an after-dinner
argument was raised as to which off,
Ger could boast Of the most ancient
name. A young naval officer, thinking
1t rather hard that the army should
have it all their own way, protested
that he could lay claim to the oldest
name. He said:
MY name is Ham-Edwin Ham,"
The army officers taking his idea, a
young lieutenant jumped up, and says
he
my name is Adam-Adam Storr."
Then our genial first "luff" came to
the front, and said:
Gentlemen, have you ever heard Of
the saying, AS old as the HILL My
name is HILL" \
He was speedily vanquished by a
jolly captain Of a cavalry regiment, who
brought out very quietly:
you are all in the shade. My name
is Ginning-Benjamin Ginning. I sign
myself B. Ginning"

APPEARANCES DEcEITFUL.-UncleE Eph
had fished. in the little river from boy
hood. In his old age the habit over
mastered him, and he fished on, daily,
notwithstanding there were. by popular
consent, no more fish left In the stream.
Eph would bait his hook and throw
it in, attend to the business in hand for
a little while, and then go to sleep.
He would sleep hours at time, and
sometimes all day, holding on to his
fishing pole from mere force Of muscu-
lar habit.
One day, while he was sitting thus,
perfectly unconscious Of what was i'm
pending, big catfish swan down the
stream from some mysterious hiding
place, grabbed the hook with ravenous
vigor and started to sweep on down
with the whole outfit.
But the jerk, the swish, the commo-
ton, aroused Eph's muscles to a kind
OF automatic action before he awak-
ened from his slumber. The muscles
gave a great jerk and landed the silu-
roid way back, rs or 80 feet from the
bank.
Eph awoke, looked around, saw 1t
struggling and Hopping toward the riv-
er, got up, rubbed his eyes in sleepy
bewilderment, grabbed the fish, and
while securing him by slipping little
willow through his gills, gave him a
bit Of salutary advice:
Look heah, you ole varmint, you
mussen' fink dis yeah nigger's allus
asleep, ef you does come erlong and
fin i'm wild 8 eyes shet monstus

see the Cherokee strip" There was a
painful silence, but finally she looked
over her glasses at him and said: I'm

exceedingly rude; and, in the second,
you might have been more refined in
your language by asking me If I had
ever seen the Cherokee disrobe. From

A MILLION FOR PRINCETON.

How Mr.. Carnegfe's Phystctan Got
Gift For His Old College.
Through the generous self-abnegation
Of former resident Of Savannah, one
born and bred in this city and a mem
ber Of distinguished Georgia family
Princeton university has become the
recipient Of a princely gift. The man
who made this gift is DR.. Jasper Jew
EFT Garmany.
The gift of million dollars came to
Princeton from Andrew Carnegie and
behind its bestowal Is a story the cynic
of this latter day would pronounce
too altruistic in its bare details to in
spire or even permit belief. This If It
were fiction. AS things chance, how
ever, 1t Is the baldest and soberest
fact.
During Mr.. Carnegie's recent illness
In Europe he sent for DR.. Garmany to
The former Savannah physician had
attended Mr.. Carnegie in New York,
was familiar with the nature and pc
culiarities of his ailment, and possess
ed the entire confidence Of his patron
and patient.
Responsive to the call he made the
voyage, attended Mr.. Carnegie, rapid
ly relieved him, charged and collected
a handsome fee, and returned to his
home in New York.
Seemingly Mr.. Carnegie found it i'm
possible to express his gratitude by
means Of check for professional ser
vices, for when he returned to this
country and saw DR.. Garmany he ex-
pressed an earnest purpose to make
the latter Independent for life. He Of
fered DR.. Garmany check for $1,000,
600 and urged him to accept it.
The Savannah man was dumbfound-
ed, but, seemingly, not overcome.
why, Mr.. Carnegie" he is reported
to have said, after expressing his ap-
probation Of the offer, II don't consid-
er myself entitled to this reward; in
| fact, I don't want 1t. I have charged
you a liberal fee for my services and
besides this, am making a good liv-
Ing. I don't think I can accept your
Offer"
But there is one thing I would be
glad to have you do-if you feel 80 dis
posed. For many years I have been
laboring to secure funds to establish q
graduate school at Princeton, but ]
have not succeeded. If you care to de-
vote this sum Of money to the estab-
l1shment Of this school I shall be
grateful-more grateful than if It were
given to me-"
Mr.. Carnegie readily acquiesced. The
gift was made and from a possibly un-
expected source the money to establish
the chair to which DR.. Garmany HAD
devoted so much Of Jealous effort was
obtained.
DR.. Garmany graduated from Prince
ton in the class of 1879. He is a son
OF the late George w. Garmany, whose
widow, the mother of DR.. Garmany,
still lives In this city. His brother. G.
L. Garmany. is also a resident here.
The story is a strange one. The
part DR.. Garmany played in it and the
illustration of his fine character it af-
fords Will be gratifying to his friends

The Great Overflow.

The fright over the great over.
flow of the Mississippi river
seems to have about subsidized and
our friends over in the delta ap'
pear to be resting quietly await
ing the subsistence of the waters
so that they may resume prepare
tons for planting their crops. Fol
several weeks it appeared to be 8
foregone conclusion that the levees
could not Withstand the terrible
strain to which they were be-
ing subjected by the resist.
less flow of waters adown the
mighty stream. The people of
the great delta thoroughly under.
stood what it meant for them if
the levees should prove unable to
keep back the tide and worked
with the energy aud sagacity that
came of their dangers and their
fears. They were rewarded fol-
their superhuman labors and at
this time the greater part of the
fair fields Of the delta are being
put in order for planting. The
levees have been broken in sever.
al places, principally on the west
side of the river and great havoc
has been wrought; but the area
submerged is small compared to
the vast region embraced in the
delta. We r happy to know
that orr bretheren down there are
seeing the dawn breaking in upon
them aud that they are now virtu-
allg assured that most of them
will escape the terrible visitation
that was so seriously threaten
ed a short time since. They are
now reasonably assured that
they can plant their cotton and
corn, which are their only crops.
With the flushed hopes that
come from this assurance they
will work with vim and we can
again look to the delta for a big
crop of cotton. This should prove
an incentive to our people t, plant
corn, corn, corn.

Sir Thomas Upton is again
spending some of the money that
he has made by selling pork and
tea, in an attempt to build a yacht
that can win the American cup in
a boat race. These races create q
great furore of interest in both
England and America but they &C.
complish nothing in the way of
deciding which country builds the
best ships. The United States has
entered the contest for supremacy
on the high seas and as England
has been the acknowledged leader
in naval affairs for a long time
these mimic boat races become
subjects for international atten-
ton.
