CITY PRISONERS PONT WORK. Continued from Eighth Page. character of the legislation on the sub. jeet, expressed himself as follows: •‘ln view of the principle that the right to put a prisoner to labor, particularly on the chain-gang, must be clearly at-.d unmls. takably conferred. I think that the pres- ent mode of disposing of convicts from the police court by sending them out to the chain-gang is not lawful. I would, at least, advise that when it is desired that they be put on the chain-gang that this should be specified in the sentence. Even then it would appear from the last section of the act of 1876 that they are to be turn- ed over to the mayor and aldermen of the city to be put to work on the streets, or other public works in or arpund said city." The idea occurred to Dr. Stone, chair- man of the park and tree commission, the other day that the police department might at least take care of the grass plat on Oglethorpe avenue in front of the barracks, so he strolled across the street and in- quired of the sergeant on duty If he did not have a couple of prisoners whom he could put to work cutting the grass in front of the barracks. The sergeant re. plied that he had none available at the time and this was all there was to the in- cident. When Dr. Stone was informed, however, that the city had a lot of idle prisoners in the Jail he said that the park and tree commission would be glad to take these prisoners and use them in keeping the parks and squares in order. This •could not be done, however, he said, un- less the city should give the commission enough money to pay white men to super- in lend the work. A LYCEIU LEt'MHE BUREAU. Decided Last Might to Bring Savan- nah Into the Circuit. A meeting was held at the Guards' Club last night for the purpose of organizing a Savannah branch of the circuit of lec- tures to be given by leading speakers and lecturers the coming season. Owing to the heavy rains just at night- fall the attendance was not as large as it would have been otherwise, but those present were enthusiastic for the success of the undertaking and the movement was firmly established. The idea is to have a public lyceum through which the Savannah public may enjoy at a trivial cost the lectures of some of the masters of thought and elo- quence of the day. Similar branches of the same lyceum circuit have been estab- lished at Atlanta, Augusta, Norfolk, Cos. iumbus, and many other cities of the south from Richmond to San Antonio. The meeting was presided over by Rev. C. H. Strong, Mr. George T. Cann acting as secretary. A committee, consisting of S. P. Hamil- ton, Dr. M. L. Boyd, C. Lucian Jones and Rev. C. H. Strong, was chosen by the meeting to select a standing governing committee, or board of managers, consist- ing of twenty members, and the following were chosen: Malcolm Maclean, A. R. Lawton, P. A. Stovall, J. H. Estill, Lee Roy Myers. W r D. Harden, B. A. Denmark, Dr. J. Y. Fair, Rev. Robb White, P. W. Meldrim, George T. Cann, Otis Ashmore, H. W\ Johnson, S. E. Theus, M. A. O’Byrne, E. S. Elliott, E. A. Cutts, Rev. C. H. Strong, George J. Baldwin, A. J. O’Hara. It was decided that this standing com- mittee of twenty meet at the Guard’s club at 8:30 o’clock next Wednesday night for the purpose of electing officers and placing the organization on permanent ba- sis. Mr. Middleton, who is the traveling agent for the lyceum, made a talk to those pres- ent, declaring that the movement has been very successful wherever it has been tried so far. He said that In Augusta last year the members of the local lyceum enjoyed hearing all of the leading lecturers of the day, and said that it had only cost them 18% cents for each lecture. There was a good deal of enthusiasm dis- played and It Is promised that the lyceum will be successful in Savannah. LATISG FOR AUGUSTA C. U. A’S. Savannah C. L. A’>, Counting on a Victory. The second game in the series being played by Augusta and Savannah will take place In Augusta Monday. The Sa- vannah boys are chafing under the beat- ing administered by Augusta in the first game, and Intend to retaliate by winning Monday’s game. The team will leave to-morrow morning, and will be accompanied by an excursion. A big crowd of rooters and followers is ex- pected to go up. The train will leave at 8:45 a. m. Tickets will be sold, good to re- turn either Sunday or Monday night; tick- ets to return Sunday being J 1.50 and those good until Tuesday $2. 'Returning, the trains will leave Augusta Sunday at 8:40 p. m„ and Monday at 9 p. m. The Savannah team has not had the practice the boys would like to have had, owing to the bad weather of the past week, but the players are all in good con- dition. Krcnson and Charlton will be the battery, and excellent work is expected from these boys. They have been working together for several months, and under- stand each other thoroughly. Charlton al- ways was a good catcher, but he has shown wonderful improvement in his work this year, and a great deal depends upon the way he shows up. Krenson has complete confidence in Charlton, and this goes a great way. Krenson has not pitched in a game this season, but he has had any amount of practice, and his arm Is in excellent shape. He has grown much headier, has that same wonderful control, while his speed and curves are things which have to be seen to be appreciated. Short and Nally, the much-talked-of Augusta battery, have been released with- out the usual ten days’ notice. Will San- ford, the Georgia university pitcher, will probably be in the box for Augusta. If he should not, Krletzburg, a terror from the land of Ben Tillman, will handle the sphere. At any rate, the Savannah boys are not worrying much. Most any old pitcher will do. 18 Till; II AII,HOAD WORLD. Mailers of Interest In Savannah anil I'llaewhere. There will be a meeting of the rate oinks of the passenger departments of the roads forming the Southern Passenger As- sociation at Atlanta, June 21.

Two Doors Admit the Visitor, end the Senate Chamber Is impressed. From the Philadelphia Evening Telegraph. The character of the present congress is J. Hamilton Lewis. He is a character not to be comprehended all at onoe. He grows upon you. It takes some time to realize how strange he is. His extravagance of dress and his attitude first attract atten- tion. When ho enters the House, no mat- ter what-is doing, every eye instinctively turns toward him, like the eyes of the au- dience in a theater turn to the leading man when he breaks through the throng of minor actors. Mr. Lewis visits the Senate frequently. There is nothing more dramatic than his entrance into the presence of that august body. He never by any chance enters through one of the side doors. The Sen- ate may be engaged in a heated debate or deeply absorbed in a bewildering sched- ule of the tariff bill. Suddenly a sense of something happening comes upon every one. People in the galleries look down and the interest of the Senate is arrested. Both the swinging doors of the main en- trance at the head of the center aisle, facing the Vice President, swing open and Mr. Lewis appears. The doors close be- hind him and die stands for a moment under the archway, his hat and gloves held In one hand in front of him, and looks toward the Vice President with a slight inclination of the head, as much as to say, Do not let me interrupt you. Then he looks with a sweeping glance to the right and to the left, slightly inclin- ing his body. He then, straightens himself up and sweeps the galleries with a glance, liy this time every eye is upon him, and, with the graceful, dainty steps of a danc- ing master, he walks over to the demo- cratic side of the chamber, greeting in the most graceful manner imaginable each senator who happens to be in his path to the vacant seat he is making for. His manner of greeting is to shift his hat and gloves from his right hand to his left with a flourish, taking two steps forward, as if about to swing partners in the lan- ders, and then to extend his right hand, at the same time inclining his body gracefully and giving his hat a great -sweep by his side, as the tdeal cavalier trails his plume to the, ground in bowing to “my lady.” It would be Impossible for him to enter into any presence without at- tracting attention, and apparently he hai no Intention of trying to do so. With his fluffy hair and whiskers, both parted in the middle, he looks like some of the portraits of Capt. John Smith of aoout the time when he is supposed to have excited the imagination of the im- pressionable Indian maiden. Instead of the glittering trappings of a knight, his dress is a display of the highest skill of the tailor, setting off his slender form in all Its graceful lines and clinging to him with an affectionate softness. His every movement ends in a posture, and, with a gentle undulation, he passes from one posture to another. His voice Is music and his words flow like poetry being reeled off 22u words to the minute. FIREPLACES ni ILT OF SNOW. Winter Life In Northern Latitudes lias Some Singular Features. From Lippincott’s Magazine. At the first glance snow does not look like a very promising material for a fire- place, and yet I think I am not mistaken in saying that every winter there are hundreds of fires built in fireplaces made of this substance. This is less surprising when we stop to think that in the part of America where this is done the tem- perature outdoors during the winter months seldom rises as high as zero and frequently falls as low as 40 or 50 Regrets below. About the end of January, or when the sun again appears above the horizon, many families at the two Eskimo vil- lages near I'olnt Harrow, In Alaska, leave their winter houses and travel in- land seventy-five or 100 miles to hunt reindeer along the upper waters of the large rivers that flow Into the Arctic ocean east of the point. Here they en- camp in large, comfortable snow houses, usually dug out in a solid snowdrift. Like all Eskimo winter houses, these are en- tered by means of a long, low tunnel, and opening out of one s(de of this tunnel there Is a fireplace built of snow slabs. I never had a chance to go out to the rivers with the deer hunters, but one win- ter there was a snow fireplace built In the Cnpe Smyth village, near our station. A young man and his wife moved down from Point Barrow after winter had set In, und, as there was no accommodation for them In any of the permanent wooden houses, they built themselven a small hut from bloeks of snow and roofed It over with sailcloth. I made them a visit one afternoon and found tho house pretty cold and uncomfortable, in spile of the large atone lamp that was burning all the time. The entrance tunnel was about ten feet long; at the left hand as you en- tered, and close to the door, was the fire- place. This sal about two and a half feet square and neatly built of alabs of anow, with a smoke hole at the top and a stick stuck across at the proper hlght to hang a pot on. When the first (ire is bull! in such a fireplace there la con- siderable melting of the surface of the anow, but as soon as the fire Is allowed to go out this freezes to a hard glaze of Ice, which afterward melts only a very little. These fireplace* are used only for cooking, aa the Eskimos rely wholly on Uie oil lamps tor warming the dwelling. MARINE INTELLIGENCE. SAVANNAH, Saturday, June 19, 1597.

A student named Boryslk has Just pass- ed the final examination at Warsaw Uni- versity qualifying him to practice as a doctor of medicine in Russia. Boryslk was horn In 1822. and was educuted at Suvalk Higher Grade School with a view to be- coming a medical man. After pesslng his matriculation lack of funds prevented him from at once proceeding to the univer- sity, and he was compelled to work as a tutor for twenty years In order to save enough money to enable him to continue his studies. At the end of that time he presented himself at Warsaw Medical Academy and passed the entrance exam- ination with distinction. Before he could begin his studies the Polish rebellion of 1863 broke out, and Boryslk, who was now 41 years of age, threw himself Into the movement with all the enthusiasm of a youthful revolutionist. The revolt was suppressed and Boryslk was exiled to Si- beria, where for thlrfy-two years he un- derwent hard labor in the allver mines. In 1895 he received a free pardon and re- turned to Warsaw. In spite of his age and tha hardships hs had endured, Hory- xlk had toat none of hie enthusiasm fo medical work, and took up his atudlea where he had left them off in 1862. After a two years' course this remarkable man has now.at the age of 75 years passed the final medical examination with honors and > will begin to practice In Warsaw.
