Strong Drink in South Africa,

At recent meeting of an agricul-
tural society at Verulam, Natal. a
speaker gave some interesting details
regarding the deadly native intoxicant
made from treacle. An analysis of
this drink-which is called isitshimiy-
ana-by an eminent doctor showed
that it was SO per cent stronger than
any known alcohol. Four milk tins
full given to a pig produced death in
half an hour This poisonous stuff is
taking the place of Kattir beer, and is
eNterminating the population on the
coast. Whole kraals. including women
and little children four years old, have
been seen Keeling drunk, said the
speaker. and the scenes OF debauchery
which followed cannot be described

\ PoAcHER's READY WIT.
So Eloquent and Philosophical That
It Overcame the Gravity
of the Court.

An itinerant player, possessed of
more wit than money, was driven by
hunger to commit the crime of poach
ing in the neighborhood of Birming
ham, and was, unluckily for him, de-
tected in the act and carried before a
bench of magistrates, relates London
Tit-Bits.
The knight of the buskin being
called on for his defense, astonished
the learned justices by adapting to
his case Brutus' speech to the Romans
on the death of Caesar in the follow
ing manner:
"Britons, hungry men and epicures!
Hear me for my cause. and be silent
that you may hear; believe me for
mine honor, and have respect to mine
honor that you may believe; censure
me in your wisdom and awake your
senses that you may the better judge.
If there be any in this assembly, any
dear friend of this hare, to him l say
that players love for hare is no less
than his. If, then, that friend demand
why player rose against hare, this
is my answer: Not that l loved hare
less, but l loved eating more. Had
you rather this hare were living, and
l had died starving. than that this
hare were dead that l might live,
jolly fellow? AS this hare was pretty,
| weep for him; as he was nimble,
rejoice at it; as he was plump, honor
him; but as he was eatable, l slew
him"
Here the gravity of the court was
obliged to give way; prosecutors, spec
tators, bench and all burst into laugh
ter, and in the end the prosecution was
withdrawn.

one night this man strolled into the
cafe of the Waldorf and his eye lighted
on group of men at "a table.
Talking money and money making

they do here"
Then he stopped short and his face
flushed. In the group was promoter

He took Smith to the door of the cafe
and, pointing to his former enemy, said:

BABY GocARTs IN CHICAGO
They Have supplanted the Baby Car
riage Because They Take Up
Far Less Room.

chicago has more gocarts adapted to
the use of small children of American
parents than any other city in the
world. And the demand for the gocart
is still growing, in spite of the fact that
some of the medical authorities of
Great Britain have been writing mono
graphs upon its use by American women
who are visiting that kingdom.
Two things above all others in Chi
cago have made for the demands for the
gocart. First of these is the fat build
ing; second, the cqagested downtown
district, which may bring the mother
of the middle class seven miles to State
street to buy two yards of ribbon. And
coming down town with the baby that
is in short dress, how is it possible with
out the gocart? How, otherwise,
could she get down from a fourth-floor
apartment with the perambulator? And
how else is it possible for her to put
it. on an elevated train, as with the go
cart, and bring it into the loop dis
trict?
But, in spite of all this, the British
physician is quoted as saying of the go
cart in the United States: perhaps ba-
bies of too tender age are not put in
them; perhaps in the rush of trans
atlantic city life such trif1es as curva-
ture of the spine and malformation Of
other bones do not count"
Looking over the modern gocart as
it is seen in the stores at prices rang
ing from 1915 to s4.95, the layman who
may have baby of his own is struck
with the fact that in all probability the
designs were not attested by any par
ticular body of men or women who have
at heart the improvement of the human
race. Such machine seems in the
first place adaptedtto the convenience of
space rather than to the convenience and
comfort of the baby that is to sit in it.

an ordinary mattress, and Units folded

CANAL COMMISSION.
WHY REAR ADMIRAL WALKER WAS
CHOSEN AS ITS HEAD.

He Has Made an Exhaustive study
of the Isthmian Waterway Routes.
His Long and Brilliant Career In
the United states Navy.
Rear Admiral John q. Walker,
United States navy. retired, who is to
head the new Panama canal commits
sion which has been appointed by the
president to supervise the construction
OF the waterway. has given much study
to the isthlnian canal problem and is
probably more familiar With the sub
ject than any other man in America.
He was appointed chairman of the
isthmian canal commission in 1897 by
President Mckinley and made a report
favoring the Nicaragua route. When
congress- in 1899. authorized another
commission President Mckinley again
appointed Rear Admiral Walker chair
man. and second time he reported in
favor Of the Nicaragua route. Then
came the offer of the French company
to sell all it's work, holdings and rights
for $4O,OOO,OOO, which resulted In the
passage Of the Spooner act providing
for a further report from the same
commission under changed conditions.
Rear Admiral Walker then submitted
a report in favor of the Panama route
He believed that Uncle Sam would get
about 100000, 900 worth of work for
one-ffth of that sum-
In his naval career Admiral Walker
got an early baptism of fire under the
fighting adlnrals of the old school,
and UP to the time of his retirement
In 1897 he was regarded as the best
tactician and drill master with modern
steel ships. He is of Scotch-Irish de-
scent and was born in New Hampshire
in 1896. On the death of his mother
young Walker went to live with his
uncle, Governor Grimes of Iowa. He
was appointed midshipman in the
United States navy in 1850, and when
the civil war broke out Lieutenant
Walker showed that he was one of
the young officers who could be trusted
in positions of danger and Importance
While on the gunboat Winona he
took part in the memorable passage of
Forts Jackson and st. Philip and in
the capture of New Orleans. In the
reports of the operations around Nicks

toned with honor. and in July, 1862,
he was commissioned lieutenant
commander.
His first active command was the old
river ironclad Baron De Kalb, and he
soon became one Of the successful
young men whom Admiral Porter gath
cred around him ON the Mississippi riv-
er. The De Kalb, with three small
gunboats, was sent to dislodge the en-
emy from Yazoo City, an important
depot of supplies for the southern
army. A land force of 5000 men un-
der General Heron co-operated. The
Confederates were defeated after q
sharp conflict, but during the action the
De Kalb trfpped across a sunken tor
pedo and was blown up.
In 1871 he was appointed lighthouse
inspector and was the practical head Of
the lighthouse board for seven years.
After tour of sea duty he was ap-
pointed chief Of the bureau Of naviga-
ton in 1881, a position requiring great
administrative ability. The personnel
Of the navy improved greatly under his
new navy were then projected. and his
knowledge and judgment were bent on
making them the best in the world.
He brought forward the men of the
line who planned, invented and built
ordnance, improved and tested armor
plate and applied electricity to the op-
Grafton and fighting of warships
He was promoted commodore in 1889
and in November of that year took
command of the new squadron Of evo-
luton, composed Of the Chicago, Bos-

were then the best in the navy and
on their visit to European ports were
received with great honor.

The Savannah morning news., 1904-10-26

After centuries of isolation, Tibet,
"the forbidden land" has been pro-
famed by the foot of the white invader
and the secrets of Lhasa have been
laid bare. But other countries remain
in which savages and barbarians still
bid defiance to civilization and decline
to become part of the white mans
burden.
Prophecy is a dangerous and thank
less business. but it is safe to propne-
sy that the neighboring country OF Al
ghanistan will not soon meet the rate
of Tibet. There is no state less likely
to be speedily incorporated within the
hepemony of modern civilization.
THE Afghans were twice conquered
by the British but on both occasions
the garrisoning and ruling of the coun-
trv was held to be too great a TASK,
and the invaders were glad enough to
withdraw from a hornets nest. Since
then, the conquest of the country
which Russia was supposed to desire
most intensely before the outbreak OF
the war with Japan-has become much
more difficult.
Abdurrahman's Strenuous Reign.
The late Ameer, ADuuITdnlHdI
Khan. during the course of long and
strenuous reign, prepared to fight for
national independence against either
Russia or England, his two powerful
and aggressive neighbors. England,
wishing to maintain Afghanistan as
strong buffer state between India and
Russia. gave him a large annual sub
sidy. every cent of which he spent on
ornaments. AS consequence, his
successor could put in the field to-mor-
row an army of over two hundred
thousand men armed with the best
modern rifles and supplied with am
munition made in the country. An in
vader would not encounter leathern
guns, such as the poor Tibetans used,
but the latest types of Maxims, Nor
denfeldts and Krupps. Afghanistan is
in a position to hurl back the white
man with ease. Fighting in her rug
ged mountains, her tribesmen would
be able to "stagger humanity" even
more than the Beers did.
The Strength of Abyssinia.
The Italians learned to their cost
some years ago that Abyssinia, alone
among the many African Kingdoms, IS
a military power able to command the
respect OF the civilized world Siam,
which cannot fairly be called a savage
state, has bade defiance TO French ag-
gression for more than a generation,
and built up an army that is likely to
permanently guarantee its independ-
ence.
These are the principal countries in

SHE WAS MARRIED
AT GOVERNORS MANSION.

Atlanta, Oct. 25.-Mrs. James Long
street, who has been appointed to sue
coed Col. H. P. Farrow as postmaster
of Gainesville, is we'll known through
out Georgia. AS the editor of a news
paper which gave her no little dis
tinction, she contributed much to the
success of the campaign of Gov. w.
Y. Atkinson.
She served for a time as assistant
state librarian, and when the time ap-
preached for the appointment of a
state librarian, Miss Ellen Dortch, as
she was before her marriage, urged
Gov. Atkinson to appoint her to this
position. He told her the law prevent
ed the appointment of a woman,
whereupon she vert to work, and by
hard effort secured the passage
through the Legislature of a bill per-
hitting women to hold the position OF
state librarian. This was known at
the time as the Dortch bill. Neverthe-
less, Gov. Atkinson did not appoint
her, and shortly afterwards she mar
ried Gen. James Longstreet 1t was
at Gov. Atkinson's invitation that the
wedding took place in the executive
mansion, an honor which had not be-
fore been conferred on any private citi-
zen.
The Savannah morning news., 1904-10-26
By R. NJ. Larner.


Washington, D. c., Oct. 25.-Mrs.
James Longstreet, widow of the late
Gen. Longstreet, of Georgia, is to sue
coed Henry P. H. Farrow as post
master at Gainesville. The desire of
the President and Postmaster General
tinguished Confederate general led to
the change at Gainesville, which for
many years was the home of Gen.
Longstreet.
A postoffice inspector, who recently
went to Gainesville to investigate a
complaint that Col. Farrow was not
a citizen of that place, but lived in
another county, reported that the
charges were true, Col. Farrow being
a resident of Lumpkin county, Geor-
gia. Col. Farrow has been lifelong
Republican in Georgia, and has been
postmaster at Gainesville for six or sew
en- years.
There has been some question as to
the citizenship of Mrs. Longstreet in
Gainesville, but there is thought to be
no doubt of that. Gen. Longstreet
lived there after the Civil War, al
though much of his time was spent in
Washington as commissioner of rail-
roads, which Office was continued for
his benefit long after its duties had
ceased.
Mrs. Longstreet was the second wife
of Gen. Longstreet. She is about thir-
ty-five years DID, and at the time of her
marriage to the General, was editor
and owner of a Georgia newspaper.
She is bright, attractive woman, full
ly qualified for the position to which
she is to be appointed. 1t is possible,
however, that the Georgia Republican
machine, of which Col Farrow is a
member, may attempt to make a fight
