BANKER CLEWS' VIEWS.
The Finniiriß] Outlook as Seen From
Wall Street.
1 New York. Jan. I.—The year closed with
a most gratifying Improvement in every
department of industry, trade and finance,
as compared with the conditions existing
at its opening. The recovery does not
consist so much in realized profits as in
the bettered conditions of confidence and
credit and in the reduction of surplus
slocks otf goods and the healthier relation
Iji tween supply and demand in the mar
kets at large. Tho year, however, has
not been without its additions to the ae
cumulated wealth of the nation. This is
very evident front the large amount of
idle capital now seeking employment and
tlie prevailing low rate of interest, as well
as from the fact that many millions of
our floating capital are now finding tem
lHirary employment in Europe—a state of
things almost new in the history of our
foreign financial relations.
During the five years that our material
interests have been in a condition of col
lapse, we have made an addition of 8,000,-
000 to our population, most of which must
be regarded as going to the increase of
our productive capacity—to swell the pro
duction of our manufacturers rather ihan
of agricultural produce. Within this pe
riod we have been subjected to a necessity
for diminishing the costs of production,
which, together with the new productive
inventions has enabled us to adapt our
s. Ives to the constantly declining tenden
cy of prices; and conspicuous facts clearly
demonstrate that in certain important in
dustries we have already reached a posi
t on where we can compete successfully in
tin- foreign markets with the foremost in
dustrial nations of the world. This Is no
transient accident of extraordinary times,
no outcome of a necessity to unload sur
• lus stocks regardless of price; it Is the
■nsequence of our having gained a posi
(ion it) advance of other nations in those
onditlons which conduce to cheapness end
xcellence of production. This is an
ichlevement of stupendous , importance,
or, ns already said, we have reached a
lint in our national development at which
arly our entire large increase of i>opu
ition must go into Industries other than
■grloultural; and that makes it imperative
hat we be able to compete with other
ountries In the all-controlling factor of
rice. It is in the highest degree gratify
ing that we seem to to reaching that po
dion without the Intervention of a great
idustrial crash which 100 easily might
uve proved an inevitable step in the inan
ition.
It now only remains that we find a
readth of new markets sufficient for our
idnrging surplus of manufactures. Most
pportunely, the drift ot political events Is
lacing that tssentlal desideratum within
nr reach. The events of each successive
ays are making it more certain that the
”,000.000 of Chinese population are to be
laced within reach of the uulustrial na
ions. This fact means that 1898 is to be a
ear distinguished in history us the open
ng of a great new commercial era. For us,
remains thnt we see to it that no oppor
unltles are lost through our supineness
or gaining our due share in this prospeo
ive new commerce.
Apart from these new prospects, the out
iok for 1898 is full of promise. It may be
nfely expected to turn out to be a reallza
lon of an expansion of business for which

The election for new officers of the
League of American Wheelmen is just
now a topic of much discussion among the
un miters of that organization. The fight
that is Iteing waged by the various can
dldalcs and their supporters Is a warm
one, and the fine political manoeuvering
being indulged in would do credit to some
of Savannah's brilliant politicians.
The election will be held in February
when the national assembly convenes at
St. touis for this purpose and lo talk over
and act upon other matetrs of interest to
the league.
Each state division is entitled to a vote
for its chief consul, vice consul, secretary
treasurer and for each representative; a
division is entitled to a representative for
every 2CO members.
Georgia is now entitled to three votes
In national matters. They will be repre
sented by Chief Consul W. E. Grady and
Secretary-Treasurer William Denhardt of
Savannah and V’ice Gonsui A. A. /Thomas
of Augusta. As Georgia now nas 24S
numbers, however, the slate divison Is en
titled to one representative. The power
ot appointment of this representative is
invested in Chief Consul Grady and should
lie appoint u representative by the time of
the nn tonal election, Georgia wili have
four votes. Chief Consul Grady has un
der consideration the names of several
prominent members and it is likely that he
will make the appointment some time this
month.
Isaac B. Potter of New York city, the
present president of the league, has an
nounced his candidacy for re-election
and his supporters are working industri
ous.y in his behalf. There are no other
avowed candidates, but Sterling E.liott of
Boston is concentrating all his strength and
support in an effort to defeat Potter. El
liott is the editor of the L. A. W. Bulle
tin ami Good Roads, the league organ, and
ills fight on Potter is to retaliate for the
loss of the vice presidency of the league at
the last election, and to pay off other po
litical debts. Elliott has been a promi
nent figure in the league for years and he
is always making a fight of some kind.
Elliott endeavored io got George D.
Gideon of Philadelphia, formerly chair
man of the racing board, to oppose Potter
and he has been working assiduously for
sovera. months to secure the support of
the southern and western.divisions to join
Pennsylvania in nominating Gideon. All
his work seems to have gone for naught,
however, as Gideon issued a statement
last week stating that he would not be a
candidate.
As the situation looks now Potter will
be elected without opposition, but Elliott
has not given up the fight yet, and it may
be that he will give the Potter forces a
run to elect their candidate, though it is
•’ot thought that he wtl! be able to muster
enough strength to defeat the New York
man. There seems to be very little inter
est manifested in the election of the other
ofiices.
The officials of the Georgia division have
received letters from flic league officials
requesting them t-o be present at the as
sembly. Tlie division is noi in a financial
position to send its full quota of delegates,
but it is probable that Secretary-Treas
urer Denhardt will attend the assembly
and cast the division’s vote, which will be
for Potter.
The election for officers of state divis
ions was held last month. Georgia did not
hold an election, and the present officers
will hold their positions for another year,
in accordance with a ru’ing of the execu
tive committee of the league. The reason
for this was the fact that the state officers
had just been appointed and there being
so many new members in the division nn
election would have been a matter of
much trouble.
Secretary-Treasurer Denhardt has ren
dered his statement of the division’s finan
cial condition to Secretary Abbott Bas
sett. ami the statement will be published
in the Bulletin.
The following local consuls have been
appojnted by Chief Consul Grady: Henry
S. Oppenheimer, at Savannah;’ \Y. G.
Cutchlow, at Augusta.
The local cycle dealers are receiving new
shipments of wheels dai’y and many of the
'9B models are on exhibition, while some
of them are being ridden.
The dealers report a very good Christ
mas sale, principally in chi'dren’s and la
dies' wheels, and expect the trade to pick
up as the spring draws near:
Beliair, Fla., promises to be a favorite
training ground for northern cracks who
visit the south in the spring to train for
the racing season. Beliair has an admira
bly built quarter-mile track and the cli
mate has none of the deleterous influences
which obtain in some of the other training
grounds. The circuit chasers held a meet
at Beliair on their nip through the south
during the early winter, and they were
very much impressed with its advantages.
Savannah will not suffer from the com
petition of Beliair, however, and a few
weeks will probably see some of the riders
preparing for their season's work at
Wheelmen's park.
A startling announcement is made in n
New York paper, which Is that Jimmie
Michael is going back in condition. The
terrible strain on Michael's system as a
result of tlie enormous amount of training
and racing which he has done in 1897 is
said to be telling on tho Welshman.
It lias been a source of wonder to fol
lowers of cycle racing that Michael has not
collapsed before this and did such a thing
happen now ii would only be natural
The little "Welsh Rarebit” has done su
perb work, and it might be wise for him to
rest up until next season. If his condition
Is nt all weals this would seem imperative
for a continuance of racing might have nn
effect on his powers that it would be im
possible to overcome later.
While the L. A. W. Is investlgating the
recent six-day race held In New York to
ascertain whether or not tlie said race
was a brutal exhibition, Pittsburg is pre
paring to hold a six-day race on the "4th
of this month. The Pittsburg race will
be different from the New York one in that
there will be but twelve hours of riding
out of every twenty-four, and one hoar’s
rest between each six of racing.
Probably few persons re aware that C.
W. Miller of Chicago, who won the six
day race at Madison Square Garden In
New York recently, Is the same Miller
who won the twelve-hour race In All.ura
on Thanksgiving day. Miller won, Includ
ing gifts front bicycle manufacturers
about $3,000 for his New York race. In

President Freedman of the New York
club has announced that he will divide
$5,C00 among the players of the New York
team if the team finishes first in the pen
nant race. President Frc-edman believes
that the men should have something to
look forward to in the event that they win
the pennant, and to make up for the
money which the players would have de
rived from the Temple series had it not
been abolished, he has made this offer.
The team g< ts nothing unless it wins the
tag, there being no second money.
It is easy to understand that the mem
bers of the New Yorks are pleased will)
President Freedman’s announcement, and
while they say they need no incentive to
spur them on, they nevertheless appre
ciate their president's generosity.
President Freedman is safe in making
this offer, for should his team be fortu
nate enough to land the pennant it would
be like picking up money for the New
York stockholders. A winning 1 team in
New York would pack the Polo grounds
every day. This should not detract any
from Mr. Freedman’s offer, however, and
It might be followed by other of the league
clubs with good results.
TRIANGULAR. RACE IN DOUBT.
Cornell, Yale nn<l Harvard Have Not
Yet Agrceil.
It is a ma'ter of doubt whether Yale,
Harvard and. Cornell will row a triangular
race in '9B. Yale wants Cornell to race on
Yhe Thames at New London, while the
Ithacans insist on the race being rowed
on the Hudson at Poughkeepsie, and also
demand that Yale sign an agreement to
race annually for the next five years.
Tale is willing to race at Poughkeepsie,
but wili not, under any conditions, sign
an agreement for more than one year.
They claim that Cornell Is not entiled to
it, but outsideis seem to think that con
sidering Cornell's race last year, Yale's
position Is an unjust one.
At any rate, the big colleges are far from
coming to an agreement, and it is feared
that it will end In Ya'.e and Harvard row
ing at New London, in which event much
of the interest in the race will be lost, ;.s
Cornell is believed by many to have the
strongest 1 crew of the three. Should Yale
and Cornell be unable to agree, it Is like
ly that Cornell will send a crew to lien
ley.

man by trade, but a pugilist—or, perhaps,
a boxer—by profession. He has been one
of the two principals in many boxing ex
hibitions seen in this city. He made quite
a reputation as a sparrer and has many
friends among the sporting fraternity. But
it has been several months' since Tommy
has had the pleasure of punching anil
being punched, and, as he finds working
m cotton just a bit monotonous and irk
some, he wants to get on a match with
some good man, just to keep his hand in.
He fears he will grow rusty, and, as he
hopes some day to shine in the pugilistic
world, he does not intend to allow' such
a thing to happen.
To this end Tommy wishes to announce
that he is ready to sign articles for a limit
ed round boxing match with any mar.
in his class, to take place at a time and
piace to be agreed up-on. Corcoran weighs

“Mrs. Smith" Stole n Supreme Court
Opinion for n Lobbyist.
From the Chicago Record.
Some years ago the widow of a famous
union general was intimate with the wife
and daughters of a justice of the supreme
court, and was as familiar with their
home as with her own. which was in the
immediate neighborhood. She was also inti
mate with the family of a prominent and
popular lobbyist, who was supposed to rep
resent Jay Gould, C. P. Huntington and
other men of large interests whenever any
thing concerned them in congress. All the
parties are now dead except the lady in
the case, whom I will call Mrs. Smith.
She was a handsome, ambitious and friv
olous woman, whose husband committed
suicide by drowning himself in his bath
tub. She lived a gay life afterward, but
managed to keep many of her old friends.
Knowing her love of money and the fact
that her income did not keep pace with
her expenses, the lobbyist told her he
would give her SIO,COO if she could get him
a copy of the opinion which the justice
was expected to deliver in the supreme
court on the following Monday, involving
the constitutionality of the Thurman Pa
cific railway law. He told her that he
knew the opinion was in manuscript, and
believed that the judge had it locked up
in the desk in his library.
Sunday morning, as soon as she saw the
justice and his family start for church,
she went across the street, around Thomas
Circle, rang the bell and told the servant
that she wanted to look at a book in the
justice's library. As she was accustomed
to go about the house almost dally, they
thought tfothing of it, and she was al
lowed to remain undisturbed in the same
room with the decision for nearly two
hours. It is supposed that she had a set
of false keys, for the justice said that the
opinion was locket’ up in his desk, and
could not have boon reached otherwise.
But. at any rate, the lobbyist is known
to have obtained the opinion in advance,
and the woman was shortly after able
to pay off some pressing obligations. An
Investigation disclosed the facts I have
stated, and it seems to be the only possi
ble way the opinion could have been ob
tained. Of course the incident terminat
ed when the story got out about town.
Mrs. Smith found it more comfortable to
rent her Washington residence and remove
to New York.

All ot the teams are stronger this sea
son than they were last, and the league
race promises to be Interesting. The play
ers of the different teams have been put
ting in any amount of practice for several
months. The C. L. A. team is in excellent
condition and Us team work is very good.
Jack Harrigan is captain and to his ad
mirable coaching and direction is account
able in a large pari the splendid work of
the Library boys. Harrigan's pitching
last season was one of the features of the
league games and-his work this season
promises to he equally as good.
The tri-Aub league was a big success
last season. It was impossible to accom
modate all who wished to see the games at
the latter part of the season, so great was
the interest felt in the pennant race. This
season promises to be even more success
ful than last, for indoor base ball has
become to be one of the most popular of
sports with Savantiahians.
Remembering the difficulty experienced
in providing seals for the crowds which
attended the games last season, the direc
tors of the league have made preparations
for seating comfortably over SCO people.
All of the games will be played in the
ing the gymnasium has been fitted up es
pecially with a view to giving the specta
tors as good a view of the floor as possi
ble. Three tiers of seats running the
length of the hall have been placed on the
eastern and western sides of the hall.
Around the railing there will be 110 chairs,
which will be reserved, and these will, of
course, be the most choice seals in the
house. On the northern and southern sides
of the hall there will be standing room
for about 100 people. This is where the
rooters and the small'boys will come in;
they don’t mind standing.
On the subject of rooting, however, the
directors have a word to say. Last year
tnere was displayed on one side of the
hall a large sign "which read something
like this: “Please Applaud With the
Hands Only.” It was given just about
as much heed as are the signs in some of
the squares which say: “Twenty-five Dol
lars Penalty for Crossing Plats.”
The rtoise at all of the games last year
was great and at some of them, during the
close of the series when the race was
warm, it" was something awful. The spec
tators would become so interested in the
game that they would forget being in a
hall and that even then some of the neigh
tors were singing lullabies in an endeavor
to. lure to sleep some “enfant terrible.”
The league officers do not care to have
any complaints about the noise from the
residents In the section of the hall and
they request that the spectators will con
fine their approval to a mild form of ap
plause, The shouting and howling which
was indulged in last season will not be al
lowed, and if persisted in it will result
either in stopping the games*altogether or
in having the offenders removed from the
hall.
THE SOUTHERN LEAGUE.
A Reiinrl Tlint Atlanta Is Weak Con
* t radletecl.
Manager Jack Huston of the Savannah
base ball team sends word that he has
signed several new men, one of whom is
Charles Beecher, an infielder. Huston says
he is negotiating with several men, whom
he hopes to have sign'd in a few days.
“Rep” Clements, a Savannah boy, wants
to get a chance on the Savannah team, and
his application is being considered. Clem
ents has been playing ball in Savannah for
years, and at times he has played a very
good gome. Last year he played with Val
dosta until that team disbanded, and his
work with the wiregrass team was first
class when that team played in Savannah.
There is very little news id the affairs of
the league. Atlanta is a little slow in sign
ing a manager and team, and there has
been some talk to the effect that Atlanta
might not be in the league. A letter from a
gentleman interested in the Atlanta club,
however, states that Atlanta will be in
line when the time comes.
He Had Four Hearts.
St. Louis Correspondence of the Buffalo
Express.
Henry Tanner, who died at the city hos
pital recently, is said by the phvsicians
in charge to have had four hearts. The
cause of this trouble, according to Dr
Sutter, is that at different times three
aneurisms had formed, and each of these
grew until It formed a compact muss al
most equal in size to the heart. These
aeurisms formed in the aorta, the largest
artery in the body, and the one which
leads from the heart. There they grew,
and became, as described. “One true
heart and three false ones.”
These “false hearts” throbbed and pul
sated with the “true heart" and with
equal precision, and apparently gave Tan
ner no trouble. Dr. Sutter says that If he
had not succumbed to neuritis these false
hearts would have kept on increasing in
size until one of them burst. That meant
death for Tanner.
The remarkable aorta and its four hearts
will be preserved at the hospital.
The Torture
of Headache.
Ninety Per Cent. ot‘ the Entire People-
Suiter From This Annoying
Complaint.
CURES THAT HAVE BEEN MADE!
!_ j
There are few people who have not sufl
fered at some time from headache and its
accompanying disorders. It is safe to es-l
timate that fully 90 per cent, of peopla
are sufferers from this disorder to a morei
or less degree. No complaint is as an-1
noying, none so distressing, and althougli
in many cases apparently of a simple na
ture, none so obstinate to the powers of
medicne and so baffling to the skill of tha
medical profession.
Asa result of this hundreds of people
have suffered year after year without ob
taining the slightest relief. Their men
tal faculties have been destroyed, their
health underminded and their physical de
velopment dwarfed from the continuous
attacks of migraines to which they been
subject. Minds and intellects have been
destroyed, crimes have been committed,
delirium has been made a common dis
ease, madness of no unusual occurrence
and suicide made a ready relief by this
harrassing affliction. No class of sufferers
so madly seek relief as do the sufferers
from headache. Fortunes have been
spent in vain by the rich while the last
.contxof tho poor sufferer is spent in an
effort to obtain a cure.
The medical ‘" profession dislike such
cases. Their effiorts to cure have in so
many instances resulted fruitlessly that
they are not sanguine of success in any
such cases that they undertake.
For this reason Abbo has made a study
of diseases of this nature and in all such
he has been phenomenally successful.
Cures have been made after years of sufl
fering and when all hopes had been aband
oned. By Abbo’s remedies the wrecked
mind has been restored and the morose
and meneholy victim of headache and
nervousness has been made happy and
joyful.
The AbboiMedical and Surgical Institute
has had hundreds of letters from patients
who have been under the Abbo treatment
for this class of. complaints, and all of
which prove that they have discovered a
positive cure for all diseases arising frorh
migraines.
The following Is taken from a letter
written by Mr. A. L. Slocum of Bruns
wick, Ga., who has been under the Abbo
treatment a short-time. Mr. Slocum had
suffered for years, during which he had
spent hundreds of dollars, but was una
ble to secure any relief:
Bruqswick, Ga.. Dec. 29.—T0 The Abbo
Medical and Surgical Institute, 114 Liberty
Street, West, Savannah, Ga—Gentlemen: I
finished the last medicine about ten days
ago and have Been watching for any
symptoms or feelings of headace since.
After your treatment I certainly feel li i
a different man, and believe that I uTI
have no trouble after this. With many
thanks for the relief your have given me\
lam gratefully yours, A. L. Slocum,
