THE FREIGHT RATE DELEG ALTON.
The delegation that went to Atlanta
last night to present Savannah's views
of the freight rate situation to the
Railroad Commission will have me ef
feet of impressiog that nody with the
fact that Savannah is very much in
earnest in her efforts to protect her
interests. She las no purpose Of in

good care that in the conccss, is to

The impression that obtained at first
was that Atlanta was making a fight
for all the cities of the state That i'm
preston has been somewhat modified
by some things which have been pub
lished in Atlantas papers within the
last few days. These things lead to the
conclusion that the chief purpose Of
Atlanta's fight is to get cheaper rate
from Savannah and Brunswick, main
/ ly from Savannah because the latter
has steamship lines to all Of the great
north Atlantic cities. The Atlanta
papers talk about the wholesale houses
Of that city having TO close their doors

AN ODD "OTHELLO.Y
From the New York Tribune

From the New York Tribune.
A correspondent writing in the Aus
tralasian thus describes a perform ance
of "Othello" in a Malay theater: at
was all in Malay, of course, but where
they had got the European costumes
from l cannot imagine. They were of
all kinds and descriptions. Othello was
dressed as a toreador, with tennis
shoes on; Cassie, as Henry VIII: Iago
in a black velvet court suit, with a
barrister's wig we'll down over his
nose; Desdemona, in a short Spanish
dancing girls dress; Roderigo, a green
Drutd's gown, with pink stockings and
tanned boots. But the joke of the
whole thing was the music There was
a Malay orchestra of banjos, mando-
Inns, ETC., but they played scarcely
any native music They all
simply love European music
tC which they set their own Ma
layan words. The whole play was in
terspersed with songs, just like our
comic operas. The gem of the even-
ing was when Othello says to Cassie.
Never more be officer of mine and
Cassie throws himself at Othello's feet
The band struck up Her Golden Hair
was Hanging Down Her Back" and
Qthello sang to it passionately."

REFORM IN THE RIGHT DIREC-
TTON

Parents will approve the decision
that no intoxicating beverages of any
kind shall be sold in the club room of
the merged Savannah Volunteer
Guards and the Tomochichi Club. One
of the objections parents have to their
sons belonging to social clubs is the
temptation to form the drink habit
that is presented in them. The ap-
petite for intoxicants is an acquired
one, and in most instances is acquired
slowly. but when it becomes strong it
is a difficult matter to resist the de-
sire to satisfy it.
Many young men are so constituted
that they can take a drink of beer,
wine or whisky occasionally without
acquiring an appetite for strong drink,
but there are others. and the number
is large. that become habitual drink
ers. They not only ruin their con-
situations, but they waste their money
and opportunities for getting ahead in
the world. The drink habit units
them for becoming useful citizens and
makes them undesirable as employees.
The time has come when there are
very few employers that will give
place to a young man who is know to
be addicted to drink, even though the
habit has not acquired such hold
upon him as to interfere with the
value of his services.
The great corporations have no use
for whisky drinkers and cigarette
smokers. Competition has become so
keen for places in the business and
professional world that only young
men who have clear heads and willing
hands are sure of steady employment.
They are the ones who get ahead in
the world The whisky drinkers, how
ever talented they may be, are sure
to be left behind in the race for sue
cess in life.
Those who were instrumental in rul-
ing whisky out of the merged organi-
cations have the thanks of fathers and
mothers, who will not now hear with
fear and trembling of their sons
becoming members of the new organic
alton, because they know they will not
be exposed to the temptation of ac-

It has often been said, There is
nothing in a NAME" but the following
story clipped from the San Francisco
Call goes to disapprove the theory:
Young Dewey is what his children
companions call him, but his name is
really Dewey Ritter, and he lives with
his father at 152 De Long avenue. Yes
terday a vicious bulldog tore a piece
out of the lobe of the little fellows
ear. This necessitated his removal to
the Park Hospital, where the wound
was dressed.
Before drawing the lacerated parts
together it was necessary to cauterize
the injured parts. During this painful
operation and the stitching of the
wound not a whimper or complaint
escaped the namesaHe of the hero of
Manila bay. When asked if he felt
the treatment Young Dewey answered:
"Of course, I did, but you know my
name is Dewey. I'm called after the
great admiral who whipped the Span
iards and with that name I'd be
ashamed to cry

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Valdosta (Ga.) Times (Dem. }
says "Ex-President Cleveland will
make one speech in New York in favor
OF Judge Parker. Well. Old Grover
can say a lot of good things in one
speech"
The Mobile Register (Dem.) says:
The one-volume book in which Tom
Watson accepted the Populist nominal
ton, discovers that Mr.. Watson is
operating to perpetuate that which he
most strongly condemns. He may not
see il in this light, but every vote he
obtains adds to a continuance of the
evil of Rooseveltism which he points
out"
The ant-poygamy, or american"
party just organized in Utah. says the
salt Lake Tribune (anti-Mormon), has
already shown it's influence. for when
David Cannon, polygamist, was nomi-
mated for presidential eector, his
withdrawal was secured almost as
soon AS his nomination was generally
known. This was n direct tribute to
the newly awakened American senti-
ment. Under the old feeling and the
Indifference which il engendered on
this question, Mr.. Cannon would I'M
doubtedly have remained on the tick
ct without objection. just as in Wyom-
ing a polygamst persists in remaining
on the Republican electoral ticket"
The. Philadelphia Record Dem }
says: 1T leaks out that Republicans
in New York arc the chief signers of
the nomination papers OF Thomas Il.
Watson, the Populist candidate for
President. As the Populists could not
obtain enough names in their moribund
faction. they had to call upon their
Republican allies for signatures.
Among che signers are ohiceholders
and dependents of GOV. Odell, and one
of the Populist electors Is Republic
can who was recently a member Of the

TOn the baltimore SuIls
Westinghouse man living in Ari-
IONA, whose name is not disclosed by
the Postoffice Department, has written
to the authorities asking whether a
proposition to rattle himself off at 81
a chance would be in conflict with
the anti-lottery laws. Knowing how
the element of chance appeals to some
women, he writes to the assistant post
master general as follows:

ject declare it unlawful to conduct
any lottery, gift enterprise or scheme
for the distribution of money or any
real or personal property by lot, chance
or drawing of any kind or to use the
mails for advertising or otherwise for
warding such schemes. Whether the
writer of the above letter comes un

Saveral days ago a young West Phil
adelphia couple were expecting the
visit of an aunt, says the Philadelphia
Press. The husband went TO the train
to meet the visitor, putting on his best
suit and forgetting to take his key
ring from his everyday trousers peck
ct. Arrived at the house with the
aunt, but his wife's-he found a neat
card pinned on the door, with the an
nouncement that Mrs. NJ. had gone out
for a few minutes and would be back
almost Immediately.
So he and the aunt settled down to
wait An early fall had called in the
porch chairs and it was a standing af-
fair. The minutes heightened and still
no one appeared. A walk to the gro
Gerry was tried, and then an excur-
sion to the bakers, together with an
investigation of all the different streets
down which she might be coming.
Just as the young husband was be-
ginning to have visions of horrible ac-
cidents and the visiting aunt was pref
ty nearly frozen the woman next door
came out and asked what was the
matter.
why, Mrs. M. has gone out and l
have no key. She left this card, but
we have been waiting an hour and she
has not returned"
She's in the house." said the neigh
Dor. Il just heard her talking in the
kitchen.
One little ring on the bell brought
her to the door and explanations start
ed. She had met friend and they
had come home together. Wrapped in
conversation, she had forgotten to re-
move the card she had stuck up when
she went out.
You should be a little more thought
full" said the young husband with
gloomy sternness.
Il know, my dear, and I'm sorry.
But, really, 1 do think any one with
an ounce of wit would have tried the
bell just on a venture"
And as the aunt and the wife's
friend looked as if they agreed with
this statement, the master of the
house realized that he was in the
wrong, as, of course, he always is.

WARNING THAT SHOULD BE
Needed.

The Department of Agriculture has
issued circular calling attention of
cotton farmers to the Importance of
destroying cotton stalks in the
early autumn. OF course this circular
is meant for the cotton farmers of
Texas, where there are efforts to ma
ture the cotton early in order to avoid
damage to it by the boil weevil But
why shouldn't the cotton farmers in
other sections take a hint from this
circular? Why wouldn't it be of ad-
vantage to their cotton fields to de-
stroy the cotton stalks by burning
them? The cotton fields in many parts
of the cotton belt outside of the sec
ton in which the boil weevil is found
is afflicted with insects of various
kinds that are harmful to cotton. A
dozen times or more this season farm
ers in this state thought they had
found the boil weevil in their cotton
fields. The insects that were feeding
on their cotton resembled the boil wee
vii, and doubtless were very injurious
to it. The destruction of the cotton
stalks might have the effect of elm
mating these insects. Besides, by
adopting the plan of destroying the
cotton stalks the coming of the boil
weevil to sections not yet infested by
that insect might be delayed
Mr.. w. p. Browne, the well known
cotton man. in an interview a day or
two ago, expressed the opinion that
eventually the boil weevil would be
found in every part of the cotton belt,
If remedy for destroying it were not
found. He said the weevil would
spread more rapidly when it
reached the rich bottom lands of
Louisiana and Mississippi, for the rea-
son that the insect thrives better on
rank cotton that grows on damp. rich
lands. In the course of his talk he
said II am afraid that in a few years
the weevil will be all over the cotton
belt, which means small crops and
high priced cotton"
1t may be years before we shall see
any boil weevil in the cotton fields of
the South Atlantic coast, and it is to
he hoped we shall never see IT.
The destruction Of the stalks can do
no possible harm and may do a vast
amount of good.

From the Philadelphia Record.

From the Philadelphia Record.
Susquehanna, Pa, Oct. ia gang
of wasps held up a marriage ceremony
and blocked a collection for the mis-
sionaries in the far-off isles of the sea
as the choir sang What Will the Har-
vest Be-" at the Sunday morning serv-
ice in the little red school house at
Gray Corners.
In honor of the occasion Elder
Swift, who was to perform the we'd
ding ceremony, wore his ancient silk
tile, brought out of the loft at home,
where it had been stored for years.
With gracious dignity he placed it on
the teach'rs table in front of the
bridegroom and bride-to-be as they sat
on the front recitation bench.
The services opened with the pathe-
tic sorry of Jonah and the whale, and
Elder Thompson offered 30 minutes
prayer for the missionaries as the pre-
face to an appeal for a generous COL
lection. The choir sang What Will
the Harvest Be?" and Elder Hobb
picked up the old heirloom of the Swift
to receive the offering.
Then the wasps got loose.
1t only took few cents to arouse the
gang, and over a score came up out
of the roomy recesses of the tile and
began to battle with the congregation.
Elder Swift was the first to leap
through a window, closely followed by
Hobbs. The bridegroom-to-b be carried
his fiance bodily. Some of the people
went through the windows. Nearly all
were stung.
Pastor Swift limped to a nearby
swamp and applied some mud to his
aching bald head. His hat was a
wreck beyond repair. In the crown was
found the remains of the wasps' nest.
In the evening the young couple
were united in marriage by Elder
Swift, who wore a skull cap.
