A FIRE BOAT NEEDED.
The Service that a Harbor Fire Boat
Would Render the City.

The Service that a Harbor Fire Boat
Would Render the City.
General Manager Sorrel of the Ocean
Steamship Company, in abiding to the cot
ton fires of last season on the Bay front,
said yesterday that what this port needed
is a steam fire boat after the pattern of
those used in New York harbor.
The General said that If the city had such
a boat the Vale Royal saw mill fire of last
week could have been extingushed with
hardly any loss to that valuable property
which was entirely consumed.
1t would also be an important factor in
decreasing the hazard to property on the
Bay. Boats of this kind fitted with power
full pumping machinery, can operate
with |, 200 feet of hose which would protect
nearly all the valuable commercial prop
erty in the business part of the city, the
greater part of which is not greater dis
lance from the river front
Gen. Sorrel SAYS that boat of this kind
could also be utilized in towing and lighter
ing along the city's front, to help pay the
expenses of operating it, He further stated
that the cost of a vessel of this kind would
not exceed S25, 900 or $26, 900, and the cost
of operating it with full crew of paid firemen
would no. exceed $500 or 5000 per month.
1t would, he believed, lower the rates of in
surance, prevent disastrous cotton fires,
and he Is inclined to the opinion that if the
city would seriously consider the project
of adding such a valuable acquisition to
the fire department, that the two railroad
systems, the Central and the Savannah,
Florida and Western, would bear reason
able proportion of the expense.

cursion to Tybee yesterday afternoon was a
pleasant conclusion to the conclave. The

every arrangement made for the accommo-
dation of their guests, and promptly at
coaches rolled out of the depot yard

could enjoy it. 1t was joyous revelation
| to many-the trip along the banks Of the

with a liberal hand, and everything was
| done that could make the visitors feel that
| it was a pleasure as well as a duty to give
| them good cheer. Arriving at Tybee the
| party disembarked at the Ocean

along the broad beach to watch the waves
as they washed the shore and to gather sea
,hells as uementoes of their visit. At d
o'clock the train bell announced the time to

concealed it from sight by spreading ner

Mrs. Bewan was sitting in the chair by
an open window, with her portmonn on
her lap, awaiting her feed man, who was
to present a bill for payment. While she
sat there, Susie Sawyer, colored nurse of

with a pitcher for SC. worth of milk Mrs
Bewan took the pitcher, first putting her
purse in the chair and covering it with her

milk. The girl got the milk and left, hav-

ON BOARD THE sTAvANGER.
Some of the Vessels Curiosities-The
Cargo About Unloaded


The Java rice cargo is being unloaded on
lighters from the bark Stavanger. A
placard in the rigging warns the public not
to take any samples of rice from the vessel.
Aboard the vessel MORNING NEWS re-
porter yesterday accosted a sailor who
was not very far up in speak
ing Ioonited States IS to the where
abouts of the Captain. He had
gone ashore, but the sailor was disposed to
be communicative as far as his knowledge
went of the English as she Is spoke, and so
the reporter tackled him.
The sailor first exhibited the ships curl
oslties. among which were pair of pretty
canaries of greenlsh yellow hue. 1t was
the nesting time of love with them, and the
male bird perched in the swing of the cage
and warbled in the original Javanese TO the
bird in the nest below. Two rice birds,
black billed and cardinal-headed, occupied
another cage, and they sang in different
dialect, which is not uncommon to Java
when the people there speak three dialects
of the Malay tongue.
1--WE have a little deer by us" said the
sailor, i'll answer to question If that was
all the Java curiosities. Down into the
cabin went the sailor, followed by the re-
porter, and bamboo cage was taken from
the sailors ted. a deer in a cage! Who
1000, 900 of cockroaches and an army corps
Of little red ants hustled Off the cage, and
behold little striped gray Jayan squirrel
Then the sailor began to talk rice. He
said it was clean rice, with a little dust
mixed in it. The mills, said the sailor, are
up country, and not at Batavia, where the
cargo was loaded from lighters while lying
at anchor in the bay. The rice is cleaned
at the country mills, and this is the second
year Java has been exporting rice to the
United States
An uptown grocer who bought a barrel
of the Java rice this week says "it is much
inferior to the home rice Of the same grade,
and undersells the home product The Java
rice is kiln-dried, which destroys the nutri-
tlous part of the grain"
To show the difference in the American
and the Java rice, he took grain of each
and breaking it in two showed that the
home rice had white saccharine heart,
