The Savannah morning news., 1903-09-22

On one occasion when a visitor at
Osborne House, the royal residence on
the Isle of Wight-turned into an in
stitution by King Edward after his
mothers death-"Larry" caught sight
of a supply of the royal stationery.
Raising his eyes heaVenward he ex-
claimed raDturously to a member of
the aristocracy who was with him:
"Oh, my dear sir! How envied
could make myself in America if only
1 could take some of that stationery
back with me-
His blooded friend thought it could
be managed and, in fact, did manage it.
A few days later. when Jerome was
invited to dine on Iames Gordon Ben
nett's yacht and meet a lot of swell
Englishmen, he made proper use of the
rurloined paper and envelopes. In the
meantime he had had an invitation to
dine at Osborne House written on the
paper and purporting to come from the
Queen to Lawrence r. Jerome. This
was to be delivered to him in the later
stages of the dinner, when the English
men should be we'll melloWed with
champagne and SO unsuspicious.
Ten minutes or SO before the bogus
invitation was presented, an unexpect-
ed but genuine invitation to drive with
a very swell member of the nobility
was brought to him. He excused him
self for doing so, but opened it, read
it and then yawned YEARLY.
What is it?" ventured somebody.
"Oh, nothing-only a bid from Lord
So-and-So to dinner"

tune was invested in real estate. and
all the heirs but Miss Goelet herself,
on inheriting their shares, put the
property to the best use possible by
erecting thereon business structures
which greatly enhanced their wealth.
Her brother. Robert and Ogden Goe-
let, also her cousin Mrs. Elbridge I.
Gerry (the anti-cruelty TO children
mans wife), were especially shrewd in
the way they handled their property.
To the daughter of the house the
change seemed painful, almost sacrili-
gious, and she vowed that as long as
she lived so long should the old home
stead remain as it was when she first
saw 1t.
She was as good as her word, and
the house remained her residence, un>
touched in any way, till after her
death in the late nineties. Long be-
fore that time the ancient mansion at
tracted more attention than any 9TH
er building on the busy chief thorough
fare of the town, not less because of
its antique appearance than because it
was the only detached building on the
street from Fifty-ninth street to the
Battery. Everything else was built
up as closely as bricks and mortar
could be laid, but to the very last the
old time yard" the old time sod and
the old time trees (as far as possible)
were cherished and preserved.
No repairs whatever were made to
the house: for a decade it wasn't
opened for years, and the mistress of
the house was rarely seen off the
property. Her servants even-a but
Ter and a colored woman cook-left
the place as seldom as possible. Peo-
pie used to look at the house and utter
regerts that a property of such great
potential value was being allowed to
go to ruin without earning anything.
When Miss Goelet died it was literally
worth millions, and it's value was
promptly divided among the heirs.
They Immediately tore it down and
put up modern business structures on
it's site. To-day there is no trace of
the old Goelet mansion whatever.

tion of the almighty Board Of
Healthf We would like to hear
something about he intentions.

The Independent has but little to say,
or desires to say little, about the So
called main event of the contest" at
the Orpheum on Saturday evening last,
and that is this: the wilful fouling,
done three times within minute and
a quarter, has only one Interpretation
and that is, that Dennis" De Lyle did
it knowingly and Intentionally. The
referee should have called "all bets
off,; If any of De Lyle's hackers paid
money on account of his loss they are
simply played for suckers" Luckily
the public at large did not get caught
by attendance or else there would have
been "roast," one that would have
given even 'Mr. Good-tellow,' the gen.
ial deputy, cause to consider.

A PRIVATE PUBLIC MARKET.

Granting permission for the es :
tablishing OF a privately owned,
public market, ostensibly for the
purpose of supplying fish, m at
fowl, vegetables, etc, is something
new, ths sams to coDform to the
suggestions and .uhj4ct to the
approval OF the Board OF Health.
Uader our laws, the establishment
of markets is monopoly in the
control of the government, and the
income to be derived therefrom
goss into the Territorial Golfers as
realization. But, under our present
rule, il see ns that the Board of
Health is everything and is para
mount, the Department OF Public
Works being only Of secondary
consideration, although thu latter
is the legal and only recognized
department to control such estab-
lishments; yet, the latter seems to
be ignored. We remember some
few years ba *, request was made
for permission for tn, ablishment
of private market 10 this city, but
the petitioner go. ths marble
hsart" from tn, Off ,ial, a. the
time. Now we are about to have
a market established by real estate
broker and who is member of tho
Senate OF the Territory. A change
has evidently come over the vi,ws

serving Hawaiian. The matter OF
the appointment Of another deputy
for Eva has been hanging fire for
some time, yet the Eva republicans
have not been quiet; they have now
shown that they have been most
strenuous in their work. In the
case in point, we are OF the opinion
that the appointment should have
been made at ouce when proposed,
but those in authority felt other
wise. ard the creation Of another
Office was the result. Had the ori-
ginal plan carried, OF appointing
Honolulu white man to the posi-
tion, tie position ere this
would have filed been and
Eva not given an opportunity
to have is say in the matter. But
since the Eva matter was applied
for on behal OF m ost worthy can
didate, to whose services the Repub-
lican party is indebted, the politi-
clans all began haggling for the
spoils. They have thus far succesd-
ed toierably well, and may, after all,
have their one time unknown desires
now at last known, fully satisfied.

Employees shellady Was Killed by
Fall From Bridse-Arsuments in
the Case Were Notable for Their Ell
oquence.

Iowa City. Feb. 25.-"The Rock ISLAND
road" said General Milton Remley in
closing for the plaintiff in the case OF
Shelladay VS.. the c., r. l. & p. Railroad
Company, ''employed unskillful men to
do it's bridge work instead of skillful
men because of the heavy pairing down
pressure exerted by the corporation. In
order that the corporation might reap
an ungodly dividend upon its watersd
stock, Samuel Shelladay went to his
death"
I'VE shall have to except to that lam
guage.' said Attorney Swisher for the
Rock Island. THAT is too strong
The arguments in the Shelladay case,
finished today, were among the best
that have been heard in Johnson county
for some time and many law students
were present in the cour. room to hsar
the speeches made by Carroll Wright,
il. Bailey. Judge Byington decided a
number of this issues OF the case as
matters of law in his Instructions to
the jury and allowed the jury to decide
only whether the Rock Island was
guilty of negligence in hiring unskill-
full men to saw off the Iiling, in which
work the plaintiffs intestate came to
his death, and whether Shelladay was
guilty of any contributory negligence in
his work which resulted in his death.
The case went to the jury today.
Plaintiff sued for $4,000 damages.
The jury brought in its verdict this
morning awarding Shelladay $4,000
damages.
