tourist work Nv all means" said the
passenger agent this morning. THE
advertising has not yet had "a fair trial
and | believe that results will come if
the work it kept up. The government
of New Zealand is spending a hundred
thousand dollars a year on such work
and sent two men to the Worlds fair
to help. 1t supplies us with vast guam
titles of advertising matter which is
we'll distributed.
The establishment of Mr.. Jenifers
headquarters at Los Angeles is a good
move. The tourists will come here
from there and not from San
Francisco. To abandon his work
at this time would be most foolish in
my opinion Only by continued efforts
can the islands hope to secure results
and if the proposition is dropped now
all that has been put into it will be
waste. 1t will have gone for nothing,
| and tourists win not hear of Hawaii
any more. A good plan in addition to
that now being used would, think be
| to have a man in the East, or to let Jen-
infer travel about among the agencies
and keep their attention on Hawii, sup
ply them with information and adver-
Using matter This is what is done
with good effect by some of the other
railroad people. Hawaii is a good
place to visit that it has splendid at
| fractions and this being the case, it
is bound 0 get tourists if the proper

THE SITUATION
REGARDING SUGAR
REVIEW OF THE MARKET IN
WILLIAMS DIMOND COMPANY 5
LAST CIRCULAR.

Williams Dimond K Companys last
trade circular under date of October
2S, has the following:
"Willett & Gray report u. S 4 ports
in all hands, estimated October 18th,
152, 1O5 tons against 1898 tons. same
date last year; 8 ports Cuba, estimated
October 18th, $500 tons against $4,000
tons-cOrresponding period previous
year United Kingdom, estimated Oc-
tober 18th, $4,000 tons against 114,O64
tons, corresponding period previous
campaign. Total stocks in all the
principal countries, by cable October
10Th, at latest uneven dates, 79S,6O5 tons
against 1,237257 tons; decrease from
last year 43S, 652 tons.
Eastern and Foreign Markets-A
quiet firm market for raws has been
maintained throughout the period I'M
der review. The situation in some
respects is peculiar, the offerings of
cane sugars having been on a very mo-
derate scale and even Demeraras do
not attract any particular attentions.
Cuba at this juncture eXerts no active
influence on the market, the crop there
being virtually exhausted, while Javas
have been practically absorbed, the
only unsold nearby cargo of JaVas be-
ing held for II 1O1a C. l. f. equal to 4
5-16c duty paid. Neither buyers or
sellers evince any anxiety to consum-
mate transactions and the present in
activity is likely to continue until the
advent of the new Cuban crop. Re-
finers are well supplied for immediate
requirements and the customary cur
tailment OF refined ut this season of
the year has begun. A recent storm
in Cuba occasiOned no damage to the
cane fields while on the contrary the
abundant rains which fell proved quite
beneficial and the prospects are favor
able for some increase over last year $
production. The new Louisiana crop
is still green and only one-quarter of
the factories are grinding, according
to information recently received. New
crop prospects are favorable and the
outturn is estimated at 100000 tons.
Quotations Europe have con-
tinued to decline to a slight extent
throughout the present month, but a
firmer tendency has been exhibited lat
terly. f. O. Litchts estimate of the
present European Beet crop was an
nounced 18th inst. as 5,l2OO0O tons,
which represents a decline of 1872, 900
tons from the results of the preceding
crop. he markets stiffened upon the
announcement of F. O. LIGHTS figures,
but they subsequently became quiet,
and the situation abroad does not APP
pear to present any features of especial
! interest.
"A dull market for refined has ruled
the trade adopting a strictly hand-to-
mouth policy and an easier tone is in
evidence, according to latest mail ad-
vices from New York under date of the
| 22nd inst"

congratulating themselves upon the
speedy correction of the mail evils, the
poor passenger service between Savan-
nah and the stations west of Jesup re-
mains. Through trains into and out
of Savannah for this section are want
ed. The people regard it little short
of an outrage that travel from all of
the territory west of Jesup is forced to
change cars at Jesup in either direc-
ton. 1t is from this section that the
Coast Line receives it's largest reve-
nue., and the patrons of the road want
a passenger service that will at least
approximate convenience.
There is another matter which people
in this section want remedied. Not
withstanding the fact that there exists
very close relationship between the
Coast Line and the Southern-both
roads operating trains over the same
tracks from Savannah to Jacksonville
the connection at Jesup is VIGOROUSLY
bad. A wait at Jesup is inevitable in
either direction, unless a delayed train
renders a reasonably close connection
possible. The public has put up With
the Inconvenience for long time.

CARRIED OFF BY A LION.
Game Ranger in south Africa Has "A
Close Cali.
From the London Field.


From the London Field.
Game Ranger Wolhuter of the Trans
vaal government game reserves had on
Aug. 26 an extraordinary adventure
with a lion, in which he showed great
bravery and presence of mind. He was
returning to the Sabi from a patrol, and
tells the story in these words; II was
riding along a Kaffir path about an
hour after sunset; it had been long
march, and had pushed on ahead OF
the boys. My dog barked at some
thing, and a moment later l saw lion
crouching close to me on the off side.
turned my horse sharply in the opposite
direction, and this no doubt caused the
lion to miss the spring. l was unseat-
ed, and simultaneously l saw another
lion coming at me from the opposite d.
rection. The horse rushed off with the
first lion in pursuit, and the second, no
doubt considering me the easier prey,
picked me up almost before l touched
the ground, and, gripping me by the
right shoulder in such a position that 1
was face up, with my legs and body
dragging underneath his belly, pro-
ceeded to trot off down the path, utter
ing all the time loud, growing, pur-
ring noise, Just like, on a small scale,
a cat does when she walks off with a
mouse. / have read Livingston's ac-
count of his being taken by lion, but
the state of apathy and absence of pain
which he speaks of were not at all pres
ent in my case. l suffered terribly,
The Savannah morning news., 1904-01-27

both physically and mentally, espe-
clallly the letter; my thoughts were hor-
rible, as at that time 1 saw no possible
way of escape. The lyon took me nearly
200 yards, my spurs all the time catch
ing in the ground until the feathers
broke. Suddenly bethought me of my
sheath knife, which l carry on my
belt behind my right hip.
ON reaching a large tree with over
hanging roots the lion stopped, and 1
then stabbed him twice in the right
side with my left hand, near where
judge the heart to be. 1 found after
ward that the first stab touched the
bottom of the heart, and the second
one slit 1t down for some distance. The
lion Immediately dropped me, and
again struck him in the throat with
all my force, evidently severing some
large artery or vein, as the blood
poured over me. He jumped back,
and stood two or three yards off facing
and growing. I scrambled to my feet
and having read of the influence the
human voice is said to have, / shouted
all the most opprobrious epithets
could think of at him. l expected him
TO come at me again, but after a few
moments he turned and went slowly
away growing; soon the growls turned
to means, and then ceased, and l felt
sure he was dead. Before this. how
ever, had got up the tree as fast as
my injured arm and shoulder would
allow me, and l was hardly securely
seated, some twelve feet from the
ground, when the other lion coursed
along on my blood spoor to the fooN
of the tree. He had been pursued
throughout by my dog, large, rough
and very courageous animal BY this
time was feeling faint, and tied my
self to the tree for fear of losing con-
sciousness and falling off" He was
finally rescued by his boys" and car
ried to Barberton hospital. The lion
he had so pluckily fought was an old
male, with his stomach absolutely
empty. The knife used was an ordinary
sheath knife.

From the LONDON chronicle.
In extending itself to the Strand the
Savoy Hotel is tearing up many rec
ords of London's history. and the steep
incline which was once Beaufort build
ings is to give place to level road
way to be called Savoy court. But the
managing director-who had laid Lord
Rosebery's plea for remembrance to
heart-writes to tell us that the Savoy
Hotel has arranged with the county
council to fix commemorative tablets
on the buildings, which are to be the
tombstones of the past. These tablets
will state the date and occasion of the
change Of the roadway's name; they
will show the site of Worcester House,
and remind the wayfarer that it once
belonged to Edward II. and that in
Worcester House Ann Hyde and the
Duke of York afterwards James ID,
were secretly married. Henry Field
ing's house stood also where visitors
will pass from the Strand to the Savoy,
and Fielding will have his tablet
