STORM DAMAGED WORK
AT CUMBERLAND SOUND.
Dredge Cumberland Was Also Com
PEELED TO Lay Over at T'ybee.

Col. James B. Quinn, division chief
of U. S. engineers, has returned from
his cruise on the Angler to Bruins
wick, Frederick, Fernandina and other
points in this division.
Because Col. Quinn and party made
the voyage by inland routes they did
not feel the effect of the northeast
storm which passed along the Atlantic
coast the latter part of last week.
The work at Cumberland sound,
where an effort is being made to repair
the breach in the protection walls made
by the sea, was damaged by the storm,
and much that had been accomplished
undone. Col. Quinn inspected the work
after the storm and reports that he
does not believe the damage will be so
great as to cause any serious handicap
to the workmen.
The big sea-going suction dredge
Cumberland which was at work in Sa-
vannah harbor for some time, and then
transferred to Brunswick had started
on her trip to Philadelphia just be-
fore the storm broke. The northeaster
compelled the dredge to enter the Sa-
vannah river at Tybee, and only yes
terday morning did she weigh anchor
and resume her journey north
ward.
Though the Cumberland was assign
ed to this district for the use of Col.
Quinn, the failure of the House to APP
propriate money for carrying on work
there made the dredge useless. AS
Philadelphia had asked for it. Col
Quinn decided to allow the dredge to
leave his division.
1t is hoped that by the time work
is ready to be resumed on the channel
that the special dredge, now under
process of construction, will be ready
for use. This dredge, a description of
which has been published in the Morn
ing News, will be for the exclusive use
of this division.

PEACH CROP MAY
BREAK RECORD
SUCH is PRESENT OUTLOOK.
BANNER YEAR TO DATE WAS 1898
WITH CROP OF 1,77G CARS.

Since That Time Acreage Has Been
Greatly Increased So That With
Full Crop This Season Old Record
Will BE Wiped Out--Last Season
Central of Georgia Handled Only
About Half the Usual Number OF
Cars-PIum Crop Also an Impor-
tant One and Outlook for 1t is
Good.
General Superintendent T. S. Noise,
of the Central of Georgia, says that
all reports from the peach growing dis
tricts of the state promise an unusual
ly large crop this season.
As is generally known the Central
handles practically the whole of this
crop, as we'll as that of the plum grow
ers, and its management is, therefore,
conditions in those sections at all
times.
Last season. which was a very poor
one, the Central handled only
about half the usual number
of peaches. The banner season during
the history of the industry in Geor-
gia was 1898 when the crop amounted
to 1,776 cars. Since that time the acre
age of peaches has been very largely
increased. so when it is known that a
full crop will be realized it means that
the shipments this year should very
largely exceed those of 1898.
The knowledge that the crop is to
be large one will be of interest to
the public whose attitude toward the
peach is that of we'll known bishop
of the Methodist Church who, on one
occasion, remarked to a friend that,
though he didn't question Gods power
to make something better than peaches
and cream, the fact remained that he
didn't.

this handicap to my work, seldom
laid up but often a burden to myself
with Iameness and rheumatic pains.
Two years ago l met an old friend,

MEETINGS OF SHAKESPEARE CLUB.

The Shakspere Club met yesterday
afternoon for the usual Monday study
at the home of Mrs. William r.
Leaken.
The Saturday meeting of the club,
commemorative of the birth of Shaks-
pere, was particularly interesting
one. Mrs. William Harden's home on
President street was attractiveIy deco
rated with roses and carnations. A
very clever paper, showing chiefly the
educative value of Shaksperes works
and his influence on the culture of
the world was read by Mrs. Harden
Two other papers on Shakspere were
read, both delightful, one by Miss
Madge Reid and one by Mrs. George
L. Coupe, Jr. A Shakspere game, sim
liar to the old-fashioned game of con-
sequences, was played and much en-
joyed. The answers to roll call were
given with quotations from the great
poets works, and the entire afternoon
was one of the most instructive and
interesting held this year by the club.

HEARD IN EVERY REGION.
Growth of the English Language a
 Marked Sign of the Times.

New York Times
 The notion of a universal language. to be devised from the elements most near ly common in the chief languages, is re- vived in recent discussions in Germany. It is fascinating project, and one on which no end of ingenuity can be ex- pended. though with no immediate pros pect of returns. Meanwhile 1t is worth recalling that the tendency toward common tongue is most strongly marked in the steady and relatively rapid exten- sion of the use of English.
 The latest estimate of the movement Of the different European languages which has been received as approximately cor rect is that of Mulhall in 1891, embodying the figures for the nine decades from the opening of the nineteenth century. Ac- cording to this calculation the various languages, of Europe were spoken in 1901 by 15l. SO,QOO people. and in 1890 by 401, ,7C0,- 0W, an increase of about 150 per cent. At the beginning of the century the four chief languages were French, Russian German and Spanish. the French-speak- ing people forming 19.4 per cent. and the Spanish 16.2 per cent. The English-speak- ing people amounted to only 12.7 per cent By 1891 the different languages stood in the following order: English, PIT per cent; Russian and German, each 18.7 per cent; French, 12.7 per cent; Spanish 10. ' per cent, and for the remainder divided between Italian and Portuguese. The number of English-speaking people had grown from 2O.52O.O0O to III, loo, 900. Ger man and RuSsian-speaking people from about nOOO00O to 75,000,000 each, and French-speaking people from 31, ,450O0O to 5l l,2OO,OCO. It will be seen that in these ninety years the English language had advanced from the F,In tr and at the close was spoken by at least 50 per cent more persons than any other European tongue.
 The increase in the number of English speaking people was in round numbers 9l'V0OO, and of this increase 10000. 900 was in the population of the United States. Some allowance must be made for the immigrants into the United States who do not speak English. but this is not relatively important. What the fig ures show and it is of extreme import ance. is that the increase in the num- bers of English-speaking people is out Of proportion to the natural increase and is largely due to the number of emi- grants who leave their native countries and learn to use the English language. It Is clearly process of conversion that is going on. While in the statistics of lan- guage 1t appears as process of Anglici- zation, in reality it is most largely one of Americanization. Much has been writ ten within the last few years of the growth of the United States as a world power and this in great measure has been due to Il victory over fourth-rate Eu- ropean power and the acquisition of the thinly peopled and undeveloped islands of the Philippine archipelago. But the real seat of the power of the United States to influence the world lies within it's continental borders, witA the vast and constantly growing population of varied origin gradually formed into a homogen- eous and progressive nation.
