NO GENERAL CLOSING
ON GLORIOUS FOURTH

There will be no general closing OF
the retail merchants July 4. This was
decided yesterday at a meeting of the
Retail Merchants Association, the
members of which decided that i'm view
of the fact the holiday will fall on Sat
urday and further that a number of
excursionists will be in the city from
all over Georgia, Florida, South Caro-
lima and Alabama, that it would be
unwise to close.
Not ali of the merchants feel this
way about the matter, however. and al
least several will close for half a day,
if no longer

To-day is semi-annual dividend day,
and as consequence the exchequers
of the stockholders in Savannah will
be augment to the aggregate extent
of over a quarter of a million dollars.
The amount which will be received
by bondholders and stockholders in the
city will, of course, be much larger
than this, since there are many for
eign concerns in which stock is held
by Savannahians. The amount stated
represents amounts which will be paid
out by local corporations to local
parties.
There are a number of corporations
which do not pay their semi-annual
dividends at this time, notably the
Savannah Electric Company, which
pays a semi-annual dividend of per
cent. on a million dollars preferred
stock Those mentioned here are
principally banks and railroad COM
panies.
Quarterly interest is also due to-day
and in addition to the payment OF
semi-annual dividends, many of the
banks will have it to pay. In many

Bird babies and their cradles.

What bird gets married the earli-
est? The horned owl, says Land
on Knight, in the July Delineator,
and his description of the court
ship, marriage and parenthood of
this ugly bird is very amusing, as
well as instructive. He also tells
the story of the love and home build
ing of many others of the feath-
cred family, including the COW,
blackbird, oriole, chickadee, bobo-
link, warbler, king-bird, woodpeck-
er and virao. The paper is written
in the authors best vein, and can
not fail to be of interest to all who
love the things of Nature. The
illustrations are photographs from
Nature and add decidedly to the
fife ctiveness of the article.

Senator Charles A. Towne has

Senator Charles A. Towne has
been chosen orator of the Tammany
society of New York city, the most
powerful, shrewd and corrupt po-
litical Organization in this country.
He was invited to deliver the prin-
cipal Fouth of July Grafton before
the society, and so charmed the sa-
chems that his selection for the ex-
allied position followed Immediately.
And it is not strange. We, who
have listened to him repeatedly, can
understand the charm he cast over
his hearers. Whether one be in
sympathy with his utterances, or
not, the music of his oratory fascin-
ates. 1t seems strange, however,
that his political convictions have
been so completely revolutionized
that he can throw himself into the
bosom of Tammany. He has aban-
doned the silver fallacy, his sole diff
ference with the Republican party
when he left it, and now affiliates
fully with the most ultra Democrat
ic organization in that party. The
HERALD is surprised, for it believes
Mr.. Towne to be thoroughly hon
est.

Lang. Literarx OUTPUT.

Andrew Lang held at one time what
must have been very nearly worlds
record in literary output. His regular
weekly work was six leaders for q
morning newspaper, two humorous
sketches for an evening journal, two
lonk articles. two book reviews and q
contribution to weekly illustrated pa
per. In addition to this he devoted
four hours every day to what may be
called pure literature. He turned out
books at the rate Of three a year or
even more. In 1890, for instance, there
appeared from hts pen the 'sRed Fairy
Tale Book" .tLife, Letters and Diaries
OF Sir Stafford Northcote," .How to
Fail In literature" and ~OM Friends"
For weeks. together his work would
average 5000 words week.

The National Capital.

~~-~
WASHINGTON, DC, July Is.
Captain Henry A. Castle, Audi
tor of the Post Office Department,
received a telegram last week an
nouncing the death of his son,
James T. Castle at Tucson, Ari-
IONA. The deceased was about 81
years of age, and had been an in
valid for some time. His sister,
Miss Margaret Castle, was at Tue
son, and will return with the body
to St. Paul, where the funeral SER
vices will be held.
q Assistant Secretary of the Irea-
sury Department, III. A. Taylor,
was once a country editor. In
1857 he started the "River Falls
Journal at River Falls, Wisconsin,
which is still published. Some
years after he went to Hudson and
published paper which, under his
management, became a powerful
factor in Republican politics. -s-.
Mr.. Taylor is still prominent
man in his party and stands high
in the regard and esteem of Senator
John G. Spooner. AS has happen
ed in Minnesota many times, Mr..
Taylor as country editor brought
Spooner into public view and
groomed him for the high place he
now occupies.
How many Minnesotans who
have an acquaintance with the hon
orable Charles Towne would have
believed eight years ago that
this brilliant young orator would
ever be in any way associated with
'Tammany, even in the role of star
speech-maker at banquet, and yet
such changes have been wrought
by time in it's flight that Mr.: Towne
was found gracefully occupying
just such a position on the evening
of the Fourth of July, when he ad-
dressed the braves Of the Four
teenth Street Wigwam who were
gathered together to celebrate the
adoption of the Declaration of indie
pendence. Former Senator Towne
was an honored guest; caressed
the tiger without blenching, and
fearlessly toasted Democracy. His
address was characteristic of the
bent of his mind for the past few
years. 1t was rabid anti-imperi-
alistic grafton, and he denounced the
Philippine policy in the Senate in
language far more vigorous than
that used by Senators Teller of
Colorado and Dubois of Idaho.
He carefully refrains from touching
ever so lightly the silver question
upon which he was once so prone
to dwell. A conviction grows up
on us after reading his Fourth of
July lamehtation, that Charlie has
bats in his belfry.
III. f. Green of Duluth, the new
Civil Service Commissioner, is in
Washington making himself famil-
lar with the duties of his Office and
getting acquainted with the heads
Of the divisions. He has entered
upon the discharge Of his duties
and henceforth will be found busily
engaged in his work. Mr.. Green
was recommended to the President
by Representative Bede and United
States Judge Morris. He also re-
ceived a highly flattering indorse-
ment from the bar of the State.
DR.. G. r. Van Hise, assisted by
Messrs. G. X. Leith and w. N.
Smith, will prepare his final report
on the geology of the Lake Superior
region, embracing portions of Min
nesota, Wisconsin, and Michigan.
