The Blue Posies
OF blue flowers six different kinds have
been found, beginning with the bIuer OF
musatonia, which comes so early. One day

was suddenly discovered, with a pool be-
yond the tree, and here in the damp earth

1t Is a question which is the most att

or those that grow so thickly along the

BED ROOM FILINGS.
Lightweight Bed Covers Are in Favor
Now


Now.
Written for The Evening Star.
The heavy, white Counterpart Is being
consigned to the "not-in-use' trunk in the
attic more than ever this summer. In It's
place on the bed a dainty coverlet Of lace
is spread over a color to harmonic with
the decorations of the room.
Nor is the old-time bolster with its white
muslin slip often seen in a sleeping room
which has any pretentions to up-to-date-
ness. long wooden or papier- mache roll
has displaced 1t.
Both of these new bedroom accessories
have an advantage over the old style.
In the first place, the lace spread with
an under covering lends itself more easily
to the color scheme of the apartment than
did the cOunterpane. The latter comes
only in three shades-pink. blue and white.
For less expense one is able to make a
prettier room in this way than with the old
fashioned style. The lace spread with the
roll does not need shams as the counter
pane does, as 1t is thrown over the entire
bed.
Organizes and muslins are being very
largely used for bed coverings by practical
housewives this summer. They are mex
pensive and more durable than a cheap
lace. OF course, the more elaborate laces,
such as Irish point, Renaissance. Marie
Antoinette and the cluny patterns. are al
ways in USE The fad of antique laces has
and many girls have adopted it for cover
let's and curtains.
One of the reasons for the popularity of
bolster rolls made of a material on which
1t is impossible to sleep, is that they take
away from the temptation to sleep on a pill
low. Many women folk are depriving
themselves of this comfortable. IL curve
destroying, luxury.
large number of the summer coverlets
are made of a soft, figured silk, ruff1ed all
around the edge. Persian designs are pop
ular.
Pretty little half-size quilts. made of a
shade of satin to harmonize with the color
of the room, are finding their way to the
summer bed room for cool nights During
the day they are thrown over the foot of
the bed, however-over the foot-piece, az
was once the fashion. The brass or enamel
footpiece Of the modern bed is not meant
to be concealed even by a dainty satin
cover.
Sometimes pillow shams are used with
the lace coverlet instead of the roll, but
they are less practical and much more
difficult to attach.
A new bed IL OF a heavy brass design in
Scotch finish. 1t Is dull in finish and the
ends of the bars, instead of being round
or pointed, are fat like pillars. With this
bed yellow Is a favorite color for the cur
tains in the room and the under cover and
bolster roll.

Return to FreetOwn, Sierra Leone
Not Later Than September and Ex-
poets to Carry Large Party With
Her-Returned to America in In
terest of Industrial Training
school.
Georgia Anderson, a colored woman
after spending six years in Africa as a
member of a party of colored colonists
from the South. is in Savannah, or
ganizing another party of emigrants.
So far she has received great encour-
agement in her work, she says, and
has no doubt that when she is ready
to return to Monrovia, which will not
be later than September, she will have
a large number of people to make the
trip with her.
The woman is a native of Anderson,
S. G. She sailed from Savannah in
1895, being one of the largest party that
ever sailed from this section of the
country, 233. OF these she says but
twenty died during the six years she
lived among them. The remainder are
all prosperous, she says. Each mar
ried man, upon his arrival, was given
twenty-five acres of land, and each
single man ten acres, and these lots
they have since lived on and cult
waited.
The land it is said, is extremely fer
tile, requires hardly any cultivation
and grows in abundance all sorts of
tropical and semi-tropical fruits and
vegetables. In addition, game of '.er-
tain sorts is quite plentiful. In this
category are included squirrels, pos
sums, groundhogs and various deer
and bears.
The emigrants are all satisfied with
their lot, enjoying a large amount of
prosperity, and with much less labor
than was required of them in this
country.
Georgia Anderson, who has been a
missionary for several years returned
to this country in the interest of an
industrial training school which is to
be established at Freetown, Sierra
Leone, and she has now been here a
year or so working for such an insti-
tuition. The school is intended for the
benefit of the heather children.
The effort to secure emigrants has
just been started. The promoter of the
enterprise says she has no personal
end in view and has taken up the work
only because she wishes to see her
race benefited. The greatest trouble
she has had to contend with so far
has been overcoming the prejudice of
those persons who have been swindled
or duped by concerns that claimed to
be emigration societies.
In consequence of this feeling the
missionary has found it advisable to
arrange for satisfactory and cheap
transports ton from Savannah to New
York and thence to Monrovia before
she goes on further with the work of
securing people to make the trip. She
is now engaged in this work and hopes
to have her plans completed shortly.

Announcement in Morning News
That Governor Was Being De-
Iuged With Letters Urging the
Nomination of the Respective
Candidates Much Talked OF.
The announcement in the Morning
News that Gov. Terrell is being be-
sieged with letters from the friends of
the aspirants for the judgeship of the
City Court of Savannah was not a
surprise to those who are familiar with
the status of the race. 1t merely veri-
fed the opinion of each of the rival
candidates that the other was bring
ing all the pressure possible to bear on
the Governor.
Though it has been several weeks
since the candidacy of Col. Cam was
first announced, in the Morning News,
the interest since that time has not
abated. Rather. it has become greater,
the announcement serving to bring the
matter into such publicity as to make
the efforts of the two candidates more
pronounced and their interests more
keenly watched by their friends.
The race was much talked of yester-
day among the members of the profess
sion. Many hold to the view that
whatever the nomination of Gov. Ter
rell, there will be a fight in the SEN
ate. Largely through the influence of
Solicitor General Osborne, it is under
stood the rank and file of the Citi-
gems Club is supporting Judge Nor
wood. The friends of both candidates
claim the Endorsement of a majority
of the bar, and the greater amount of
influence and there is no doubt but
that both candidates will remain in the
race until the finish. Judge Samuel B.
Adams and Hon. Robert M. Hitch are
among Col. Cams most ardent sup
porters.
1t is said that the candidacy of the
respective candidates was urged on the
occasion of Gov. Terrells recent visit
to Savannah, at which time both gen
tlemen paid their respects to his ex-
cellency. The contest for the City
Court ermine will not lose its interest
until it is decided. Meanwhile the
friends of the rival candidates and the
aspirants themselves, are making ev-
cry effort in their own behalf.
1t is understood, on good authority
that Gov. Terrell has not committed
himself. 1t is doubtless this fact that
lends so much interest to the race. 1t
will be several months yet before the
matter comes up for determination,
and the appearance of a dark horse is
limited at by some. The position being
appointive, this exigency is not apt to
arise. The Legislature meets In June.
Until then there will be discontinuance
or abatement in the efforts of the can
didates to land the coveted judgeship
for their respective friends.

AFRAID TO REMAIN
ON GUARDIANS BOND.
MIR. BalIantyne Says Mr.. BaIIantyne,
Jr., Is MismanaginG McGrath

Estate
Mr.. Thomas Ballantyne applied to
the Court of Ordinary yesterday morn
ing to be relieved as surety on the
bond of Thomas Ballantyne, Jr., guar
dian of Helen and Henry McGrath.
In his petition the applicant alleges
that the estate is being mismanaged,
and that the guardian is not making
proper accounting for the moneys
which come into his hands. The case
has been set for hearing on April 6.
The petitioner sets forth that on
June 5, 1899, on application previously
made, Thomas Ballantyne, Jr., was
granted letters of guardianship on fhe
estate of the two minors, at which
time he became a surety on the bond
He desires now to be relieved because
he believes the guardian has misman-
aged the estate, not having made an
nual returns, the only return filed by
him showing that he has encroached
upon the estate without the permits
sion of the court.
The reports of the guardian, it is
further alleged, fail to account for all
of the property owned by his wards.
and fail to show how or where the
money now on hand is invested or
where it is deposited. For these rea-
sons, he submits, it is too great a haz-
ard for him to remain longer as surety
on the bond, and he asks that he be
relieved. The applicant is represented
by r. l.. Colding.

BODY FOUND FLOATING
IN THE RIVER.
jerome Fitzgerald Was Drowned in
the Saxnnnnh River.

The mystery of the disappearance of
Jerome Fitzgerald, young man well
known in shipping circles, was cleared
up yesterday morning, when his body
was found floating in the river near the
foot of East Broad street.
In police circles the disappearance of
Fitzgerald had become quite a puzzling
affair. He was last seen on the night
of Feb. q, and when he did not show
up at home within the next day or two,
and nothing had been heard of him, the
police We're asked to make an inVesti-
cation. They were unable to obtain any
clue to the whereabouts of the young
man, and two theories were advanced.
One was that he had suddenly decided
to accompany some captain on a trip
across the Atlantic, and the other was
that he had been accidentally drowned.
Men at work on the river discovered a
body floating face downward and had
it hauled to the East Broad street dock,
where it was positively identified as
that of Fitzgerald. Patro1man Harri-
son notified police headquarters OF the
find, and Coroner Keller viewed the re-
mains. There was no evidence of foul
play, and the body was turned over to
the young mans father. The theory of
the police is that Fitzgerald wandered
down to the river front and fell over
board when there was no one in hear
ing to render him assistance in escap-
ing a watery grave. He had served his
time as an apprentice, and was waiting
for vacancy as a pilot. The young
man was very well known, and his
father is a pilot The funeral took
place yesterday afternoon, and the In
terment was in the Cathedral Gene
terry.

The case has been placed on the in
