An OGLETHORpE RALL.

Every Georgian who feels a pride in
movement to erect a monument to the
memory of Gen. James Edward Ogle-
thorpe. 1t is now one hundred and
seventy years since Oglethorpe and his
devoted followers laid the foundation
of the colony that was destined to be-
come the Empire State of the South
Georgia. During that time the earth
has been dotted with monuments COM
memorative of less worthy events. But
there has been erected no memorial to
recall to the present generation and to
posterity the heroic endeavors and
splendid sacrifices of Oglethorpe, the
soldier and philanthrophist. Time and
again there have been movements to
the end of embalming the deeds of
Oglethorpe in living stone or bronze,
but beyond the first patriotic impulse
these movements have amounted to
nothing tangible.
A reawakening TO the fact of the neg
lect of the memory of this original and
great Georgian resulted in the organi-
NdtlOu VI NhC OSiCNAlOl pc monument A.
ISOLATION, and under the auspices OF
this society a considerable fund has
been gathered together for the patriotic
purpose of building fitting Oglethorpe
Monument
While this monument fund has grown
in a gratifying manner it is not yet
large enough to carry out the wishes
of it's projectors in a way BETTING
it's great purpose. Many thousands
of dollars more than are in hand are
needed. To add to the fund it is pro-
posed to give ball on Dec. 10, in this
city. The ladies of the association have
called to their assistance a number or
gentlemen, and everything possible will
be arranged for the event. The whole
state, from the mountains to the sea-
board, is interested in this matter;
hence it is to be expected that the ball
in behalf of the Oglethorpe Monument
fund will be one of the greatest sociai
functions ever undertaken in the state.
The people OF Savannah will do their
part towards making the occasion one
to be remembered for all time

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Philadelphia Record (Dem) says:
"It makes all the difference in the
world whether civil war occurs in our
country or in some other country. If
it be our civil war it is our sacred duty
to fight it to a finish; if it occur in
some country that is resisting our en-
croachments then it is unnecessary
and wasteful' and we cannot allow the
sovereign government to put down an
insurrection."
The Springfield (Mass.) Republican
Ond.) says: Reasoning from the fact
that Gov Cummins of Iowa, who stood
for the Iowa idea of tariff reduction
against trusts. was reelected by a
reduced plurality while Mr.. Hanna as
a stand-patter won for the party about
it greatest victory in Ohio, the con-
clusion in party circles at Washing
ton is that the people want the tariff
let alone. But there is no sort of dam
ger, in any event, that the tariff win
be touched pending the presidential
election, and what is then likely to
follow, in case the Republicans win?
That. too, would of course be inter-
preted as mandate to keep on letting
the tariff alone. And this is the way
it is usually revised by its friends"
The Chicago Chronicle (Dem.) says:
1.-The transisthmian canal question has
been forced to the front by recent
events in Panama and it has been so
complicated by the action of Colombia,
by the isthman seceders, by the acts
of the administration and by the act
of Congress assuming to direct and
restrict the exercise by the President
of his constitutional treaty power that
a prolonged debate. is sure to come.
This discussion is likely to be acri-
monious as well as prolonged. The
advocates of the Nicaraguan route new
er took their defeat with good grace.
They have confidently expected the de-
feat of the Panama negotiations and
have contributed to the utmost there
to. They will come to the front at
once with the demand that the Pan
anna route be dropped and the Mica
ragua route taken UP instantly There
is enough in this alone to fill the four
weeks of the extra session full to re-
pletion of talk, and excited talk"

1.-THE work of cracking an old steel
safe has become very simple" said an
inspector of the Postoffice Department
to a Washington Star reporter. You
see," he continued "all the burglar
has to do is to pour nitroglycerine in
the cracks of the safe, then throw
some combustible material over it, set
it afire and get out of the way. In
a short time the explosion occurs and
the doors drop out as readily as if it
were made of pasteboard.
This method of going into safe is
known to all the cracksmen, and it
seldom occurs that we hear of
case of burglarizing post
office in the small towns that
has not been accomplished in
that manner. The old method of
boring into a safe in order to insert
the explosive is no longer heard of.
1 do not know how this practice can
be stopped unless greater care is TAX
en- in watching the postoff1ces or mod
ern safes are provided. 1t is icnprac-
ticable to equip all the postoffices with
modern safes, so that think the sim
pie methods of the burglars will be
used for a long time to come.

He just Explained TO the Jury.

One of the most common defects of
a recently-admitted lawyer is a striv-
ing for oratorical display says Sue
cess. A successful older practitioner
endeavors, on the other hand, to give
the jury heart-to-heart talk. The
ways of an eagle in the air. of a SER
pent upon rock, of ship in the midst
of the sea, and of a man with maid,
are as A, B, c, compared with the
methods usually pursued by the twelve
good men and true. 1t seems a trifle
odd, at first, that dozen individuals
who separately are shrewd sharp bus
mess men should collectively be guilty
of the most absurd performances, but
the fact must be reckoned on, never
theless.
A story is told of two farmers who
were returning home, one of them from
jury duty in a neighboring town.
Lawyer Smith is a great orator." said
one-'a perfect Daniel Webster. Ny
how l hated to decide against him in
the three cases he tried!"
How about Lawyer Jones. who was
on the other side?"
'Oh, shucks! why, of course he wins
all his cases. 1 heard every one of
EN-, and they were the simplest things.
He just explained things to the Jury.
He didn't have to do any hard talking
at all. You couldn't help but agree with
him.

THE OPPOSITION TO THE CUBAN
TREATY.

1t seems that the opposition to the
Cuban reciprocity treaty, for the APP
prevail of which treaty the extra ses-
sion of Congress was called, is going
to be somewhat more formidable than
it was thought it would be some weeks
ago. The representatives of the
American Protective Tariff League are
in Washington and are saying that the
fight against the granting of reciproc-
ity is going to be as vigorous as it was
in the memorable fight of the first ses-
sion of the Fifty-seventh Congress.
These representatives of the Amer
lean Protective Tariff League say they
have no quarrel with the President.
The purpose of the league is simply to
prevent a breach being made in the
walls of protection. In their opinion,
il there should be reciprocity with
Cuba, it wouldn't be long before there
would be reciprocity with other nations,
and the result would be that the whole
protective system would go by the
board.
At present the indications are that
Congress will approve the treaty with
Cuba. The Republicans themselves
are not able to get a resolution
through the House approving it. There
are thirty-nine Republican members of
that body who can be depended upon
to oppose reciprocity, but it is believed
that enough Democrats will vote with
the Republicans to pass bin making
the treaty effective.
There is a possibility, of course, that
in some way general discussion of
the tariff may be brought on. and Gu
ban reciprocity sidetracked, but the
Speaker win not permit anything of
the kind if he can help it. In an inter-

any incumbent of the Portuguese
throne been so universally beloved as
the present king who was crowned
fourteen years ago. There is no OPP

EMPEROR WILLIAMS ILLNESS.

The announcement in the newspa pers
on Sunday that an operation had been
performed on the throat of the En-
moval of a small tumor has had the
effect of causing a great deal of I'M
easness in Germany 1t is suspected,
notwithstanding the denial OF the sur
geons who performed the operation,
that the Emperor is suffering from
cancer. 1t is recalled that his father
and mother died of that disease and
that other members of his family have
died of it and still others are suffering
from it.
1t is also recalled that when the En-
perors father was first operated upon
for a growth in his throat it was said
by his physicians that there was no in
dication of the presence of cancer. The
trouble in Emperor Williams throat
may be Of a character that justifles no
uneasiness as to his health, but it is
quite certain that for the next few
months his physicians will study his
case with great deal of anxiety.
The increase in the number of cancer
cases in both this country and Europe
is in the highest degree alarming.
Every once in a while the statistics of
the disease are published and they
leave no doubt that it is one of the
most fearful with which the human
race is afflicted.
Some of the most eminent scientists
are now and have been for years seek
ing the cause of cancer, and every once
in a while there is an announcement
of the cause and of a cure. There was
such an announcement in the dis
patches from Europe in last Saturdays
newspapers. 1t was said that Dr. Otto
site that causes the disease. and had a
serum that produced wonderful results
in cancer cases.
No doubt DR.. Schmit thought he had
made discovery, and it may be that
he has, but the medical profession will
not accept the publications that have
been made about his discovery. 1t will
wait and see if the announcement of
the discovery is confirmed. There are
many such announcements, but there
are very few combinations of them
| There are many kinds of cancer, and

ton arose whether the reverend gentle
man was not called upon to pay duty
for the numerous pairs of trousers
which he was importing. Said the GUS

Il am sorry to say, sir, that you
must pay duty on these trousers; only
the apparel you make use of during dl-
vine service can be admitted free of

Whereupon the quick-witted clergy

Come, come, my dear man! You

A Woman to Be Prettu
Must Have Luxuriant and Glossy
Hair, No Matter What Color.

The finest contour of female face,
the sweetest smile of a female mouth,
loses something if the head is crown
ed with scant hair. Scant and falling
hair, it is now known, is caused by a
parasite that burrows into the scalp to
the root of the hair, where it saps
the vitality. The little white scales
the germ throws up in burrowing are
called dandruff. To cure dandruff per-
manently, then, and to stop falling
hair, that germ must be killed. New
bros Herpicide, an entirely new result
of the chemical laboratory, destroys
the dandruff germ, and, of course.
stops the falling hair, and prevents
badness Sold by leading druggists.
