Printers Queer Errors.

To the many instances given OF typo
graphical errors, which, like the poor,
are always with us. says Tit Bits, we
add the following:
Horace Greeley was noted for his
wretched writing. which puzzled many
a printer. Once he wrote, =" It's true,
It's pity, and pity tits It's true" quot
ed from Shakespeare. 1t appeared the
next day. tbs two. tbs fifty, tbs
fifty, tbs fiftytwo."
A paper printed this extraordinary
piece of news in connection with a
great demonstration: THE shouts of
ten thousand people rent the air"
OF course the reporter had written
shouts instead of Shouts"
Bishop w. A. Gambler was once ad-
vocating a more liberal loosing of the
purse strings and told his audience that
several years ago he sent an article to
paper in which he said: I'VE pray
too loud and work too little" The
compositor, consciously or unconscious
ly, perpetrated a little joke, for when
the article appeared 1t read: I'VE bray
too loud and work too little" 81 let
it go at that" said the bishop. THE
fact is. l believe the printer was right
and l never ventured to correct him.

The Trouble with Nero.

gentleman who resides in Ger
mantown is the proud possessor OF a
fine, white, thoroughbred bull terrier,
says the Philadelphia Ledger. He al
so has a wife and child. This fact
is mentioned last. not as derogatory
to the family, but because this tale
deals almost wholly with the dog.
One evening the gentleman noticed
that Nero was rather restless and ire
quently opened his paws to their wild
est extent and licked his chops In a
decidedly suggestive and sinister man
ner.
What in the world ails Nero?"
asked the wife.
''Some new habit he has acquired,
guess" hazarded Mr.. Fancier Good
night, dear 1 must hurry to the office
to finish my monthly statement. Don't
wait up for me. Good night" And he
was gone.
When he arrived at the Office he
saw the night Waterman, and know
ing that he had a knowledge of dogs,
questioned him regarding Nero's pecu-
liar actions.
"Opens his mouth wide and rolls his
tongue about?" repeated the watch
man excitedly.
Yes"
Does he stretch his neck as he does
this?"
YES. What does it mean?'
We'll, it means that your dog is 60
ing mad, and you'd better hurry home
before he does any damage"
1t took Mr.. Fancier about two Sec
onds to reach the telephone.
SIS that you, dear?" he called. "Well,
you take Nero down cellar and chain
him up securely. Never mind I'll
explain when I get home. I'm start
ing at once" .t.
He then FASTENED to the nearest drug
store and purchased buckthorne, cas-
tor oil, pomegranate bark and various
other herbs and sirups used for dog
troubles. Rushing home, he bolted in
to the cellar, grabbed the poor dog by
the throat and pressing him into a
corner lifted him to his hind legs and
poured conglomeration of drugs
down the long suffering canine that
would positively kill or cure. His
veterinary labors over, he repaired to
the sitting room and explained the
situation to his terrified wife.
Next morning the dog, marvellous to
relate, was alive and happy. During
the day the owner described the treat
ment to a friend, also a lover of dogs.
The friend, at the end of the story,
burst into loud and Earring laughter.
What are you laughing at? l
don't see anything funny about it"
Neither did the poor dog. Do you
know what really allied him? I'll tell
you: He had been cleaning his coat
with his tongue and several hairs had
stuck to that useful member His
terrible symptoms were caused by
his innocently trying to. remove
Them
And the owner of Nero after "buy-
ing. left hurriedly to speak to the
night Waterman.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Galveston News Oem.) says:
up In Washington they say that Mr..
German will be made chairman of the
committee on platform at the Demo-
cratic National Convention. If he se-
cures the honor and manages to domi-
nate the committee we are sure to

every man who has not resolved de-
liberately to be dissatisfied.
The Washington Post Qnd3 says:
Colorado has furnished the most dis
graceful chapter in the history of state
government. She can only redeem her
self by civic assertion that will cast
out the officials responsible for such
conditions and the election of men to
official positions. executive and judicial

AN OPENING FOR IMPORT TRADE,


We assume that our wholesale gro
Gerry merchants read with some de-
gree OF interest the talk with Mr.. T. S.
Goslinga, Of Schiedam. Holland. which
we published yesterday, relative to di-
rect importations from that country.
It seems TO US that Mr.. Goslinga
points the way to what may be
profitable import trade. There are
many articles which this part of this
country gets from Holland. There is
no good reason Why they shouldn't
reach their destination through this
port. There is a big territory tribu-
tary to Savannah. and there is a line
of steamers coming here from a Hol-
land port. These are cotton steamers.
ana thus far they haven't been able
to get much freight coming this way.
In order to get freight they would
carry it for less than the rates that
are now charged from Holland TO
New York. That is certainly an in
ducement Our merchants are thus Of
fered an opportunity 10 get such arti-
cles of Holland production as they
now get by way of New York at a
much less price than they are now
paying for them. They would get a
lower freight rate than New York is
paying and they would save the mid
dlemsn's profit and the freight from
New York TO this city.
And with this advantage could they
not DO a business extending over
wide territory? What would prevent
them from handling goods for Chi
cago and other Western cities? And
the Southern cities. are there not
many Of them whose wants they could
supply?
OF course this isn't matter that
can be acted upon hastily. It will
have to be gone into thoroughly. But
we want to extend our commerce, and
here is a chance. 1t isn't a chance
that promises a great deal at the out
set. but the proposed business, if once
established, might grow into large
proportions and lead to something
else.
We have been talking lately about
a line of steamships to Havana and
to Porto Rican ports. Doubtless we
shall get them after awhile. In the
meantime it is the part of wisdom
to take hold of whatever promises
to increase our commerce and, at the
same time yield profit
If the line of steamers between Rot
terdam and Savannah should prove to
be paying one it wouldn't be long
before Savannah would have lines of
steamers to other European ports In
the course of a few years our mer-
chants might be doing pretty large
and profitable import trade, supplying
not only a large part of the South, but
also considerable part of the West,
with such articles from Europe as find
a market in this country.

GHuging the Tea.

A belated society tale goes backward
to the season when Harry Lehr was
counting the lady who is now his wife.
says the New York Times.
One day Mrs. Dahlgren accidental
ly dropped ten-dollar bill into a tea
urn which had just undergone in
spection in anticipation of coming
guests. When these guests arrived
Mr.. Lehr was among them. The
hostess had forgotten her banknote in
the arm. and innocently brewed her
tea. All noted the peculiar flavor, but
drank it bravely The cause of their
secret mystification might have gone
politely undiscovered had not the
hostess proceeded to give lecture on
the subject of brewing tea. She re-
moved the lid of the urn to illustrate
her point and revealed not tea leaves,
but a ten-dollar bill. She was appalled,.
The urn and all the cups were sent
away. She made profuse apologies end
insisted upon serving each of her visi-
tors with a fresh cup when the new
supply appeared. When it came the
turn of MIR. Lehr she asked:
How will you have it? Strong?"
Not quite so strong as the last"
replied Mr.. Lehr. Make it $9.75,
please"
The Savannah morning news., 1904-06-10

A few days ago we called attention
to the importance that the production
Of turpentne and rosin direct from the
wood is likely TO assume, and suggested
that oui business men should take steps
for making this port the chief and
controlling market for the products of
the industry. In a dispatch from Val
dosta. which We published yesterday
IL is stated that Chicago capitalists
who have what is known as the Pitt
man patents for the manufacture of
turpentine and rosin from wood, have
decided to erect large plants in the
vicinity OF that city. and to ship the
output of their stills direct to Chicago.
The fact that they are putting money
into the business leaves no room for
doubt that they are satisfied that their
experiments are successful. and that
there is a big profit in the industry.
Experiments are being made all the
time in getting turpentine and rosin
from wood by means of distillation,
and we have no doubt that if the Pitt
man process isn't wholly satisfactory.
a process will be found. in the very
near future. that will be So and that
the products Of the industry will COM
mand about as good a price as those
obtained from the distillation of the
gum o: the pine tree.
1t is a safe prediction that inside of
FIVE years the production of turpentine
and rosln from pine wood will b. a
great industry. 1t win be profitable
to those who engage In il and will
be highly beneficial TO the owners of
lands in all this part of the South
because II will cause the lands to he
cleared of stumps and made available
for farming.
But is it not time that our progress
sive merchants were preparing to make
this port the market for the products
of this new industry? 1t is true there
may not be a very large quantity of
these products TO handle at present, but
Il is better to be ready for the bust
ness when il comes than to have It
go elsewhere for lack of preparation.
No doubt a large percentage of The
products will he sent to interior cities
by rail. but the bulk of them must
be sent to the seaboard i'm order to
| find a market. Why not make this
city the market? The fact that II is
the market FOR naval stores obtained
from the gum Of the pine tree is a
good reason why it should be the mar
ket for the naval stores obtained from
! the wood of that tree.
There are those who think IL viii be
| time enough to agitate this matter
| when the new industry is firmly IS
/ tablished. and its products are seeking
a market. By that time another port
or other ports may have secured the
control of the business. The thing to
do Is TO lay the foundation for the
business while the industry is in it's In

THEY MANT TO FLnG.

1t seems that the majority of the
school principals of New York city
will not be happy until they have had
restored to them the right to fog their
pupils whom they may deem deserving
of that punishment. Corporal punish
ment is now prohibited by law; which
restriction, the principals and many
teachers declare, has resulted in much
harm to the discipline of the schools
II is the consensus of opinion among
the principals that it may be all right
not to whip the girls, because they
do not need it. Girls are more amena-
BILE to reason than boys and it is a
very rare occurrence that a girl is so
obstreperous that moral suasion will
not have its effect. But with boys
it is quite a different matter. About
5 per cent. of the boys are pretty
tough in character, and their influence
on the other IS per cent. is bad. When
the tough boy ascertains that he can
not be punished by the principal, be-
cause the law forbids it. he takes adj
vantage Of the situation and becomes
tougher. Depriving him of privileges
and the setting for him of extra tasks
do not make him mend his ways.
Fifty teachers went before the Com
mtttee on Elementary Schools of the
New York Board of Education the
other day to plead for a restoration of
the right to fog under certain circum-
stances. They were backed by the
opinions of Horace Mann, Nicholas
Murray Butler and a number of other
prominent educators. Their plea was
in behalf of discipline and the good of
the children. Among the teachers there
was just one who protested against
returning to the barbarous practice"
of fiogging in school He recalled that
when he was years old, nice, gen
tie little boy, his teacher thrashed him.
And in an instant. !" he said. lit made
me little demon" 1t was his opinion
that, since so small a percentage of
school children needed to be logged
it would be an injustice to put them
all in the line of punishment. An
other principal said that under exist
ing rules if a boy called the teacher
vile names there was nothing for the
teacher to do but engage in a fight
with the boy. which could not be called
corporal punishment.
1t is a hard matter to tell precisely
where the line should be drawn, to pro-
tect the teachers against tough boys.
and at the same time protect the chill
dren against brutal teachers.

Improved Music Notation.

Il had a funny job the other night"
said a musician, who lends his talents
to all sorts of musical entertainments
for charity, and who is quoted by the
Philadelphia Record. Il had been ask
ed to act as an accompanist at an
amateur minstrel show, and when I
came to play the accompaniment for
the first song sung by one of the end
men l found that the marks on the
score had been changed. This amateur

could interpret the pharses correctly.
so he had attempted to improve upon
them. Where the score was marked

BRYAN's INFLUENCE IN THE con-
NFNTION.


Carter Harrison, Mayor of Chicago.
in an interview on Tuesday, said: I
think William ]. Bryan will control
at least one-third of the National Con-
vention. A thing that must not be
lost sight of is the fact that Mr.. Bryan
will be there. His personality will he
felt on the floor of the convention. The
people have seen what his personality
can do in a convention. They are liza
BILE TO see it again"
Mr.. Harrison overestimates Mr..
Bryan's influence. He apparently
thinks that Mr.. Bryan, with one-third
Of the delegates, will dominate the St
Louis convention. And there is some
reason for thinking that Mr.. Bryan has
some such idea himself.
Mr.. Bryan dominated the National
Convention of 1895 because there was
very strong Populistic sentiment in it.
He dominated that Of 1900 because he
seemed to be the most available cam
didate for the nomination for Presi-
dent, and the convention was afraid
that he wouldn't accept the nominal
tion but might run as a candidate Of
the Populist party. unless he were per-
mrtted to have his own way in respect
to tho platform. No such reasons as
the foregoing will have influence with
the convention this year.
The great majority of the delegates
that will assemble in ST. Louis will be
hostile TO Mr. Bryan. It will not he
in his power to influence a single one
of them, except those who are welded
to the Kansas City platform. and the
rambler of them. including those who
favor the nomination of Mr.. Hearst,
will not make one-third of the conven-
ton.
Mr.. Hearst is trying to make it APP
pear that he has more instructed dele
gates than Judge Parker. and that he
win likely be the leading candidate on
the first ballot. II is safe statement
that he VIII not have half as many as
Judge Parker, though it is quite evil
dent now that he will get the votes
that Mr.. Bryan will control.
II is evident that Mr.. Bryan is go
ing to the st. Louis convention full of
the idea that he will be able to mold il
to his will. He is going to be disap-
pointed. The great majority of the del
egates will listen to him with impa-
tience. Their minds will be steeled
against him. He will not be able to
draw any expressions of appreciation
from them. They will look upon him
as a man who twice led the party to
defeat and is now ready to adopt a
rule or ruin policy. There isn't the
least danger that by means of his eio-
quence he will get control of the
convention and make it do whatever
he pleases. If Mr.. Harrison has any
such idea as that he doesn't under
stand the situation in the Democratic
party.
Mr.. Bryan's only hope of accomplish
ing anything along the lines of the
Kansas City platform is to get control
of one-third of the delegates and dead
lock the convention, and thus force a
compromise. AS already stated, how
ever the outlook that he will control a
third of the convention isn't at all
promising.
