One Reason for Savannah's Growth.
Has it ever occurred to those who are al
ways wondering what makes Savannah
grow that cities which have a good trade as
basis grow upon their own growthl One
enterprise creates the necessity for another
The establishment of cotton seed oil fac
tory, or a fertilizer factory, for instance,
requires houses to be built for the employees
of the factory and the opening of stores to
supply them with the necessaries Of life 1t
affords employment for more shoemakers
tailors, etc, and these people iii turn afford
occupation for others.
For many years Savannah was virtually
at a standstill, and one of the reasons was
that there were no houses for additional
population. All houses, easily accessible,
were occupied, and rents were very high.
There was no encouragement for building
houses in the southern part of the city be-
cause the streets, as a rule, were not open,
and those that were lacked side
walks. There was another reason
for not building in the suburbs,
and that was the lack of drainage About
oil the localities away from the thickly
settled portions of the city were regarded
as unhealthy. A very great change, how
ever, has taken place in these respects
within the last few years Owing to the
work which has been done under the direc-
ton Of the county commissioners the
suburbs have been thoroughly drained
and are now as inviting and
healthy as could be desired. The
| street car lines have been extended, the
streets have been opened, sidewalks laid and
trees planted. A few citizens whose faith
in the future of the city has always been
strong have bought large tracts of land in
| the suburbs and divided them into building
lots. The building of houses has been en-
couraged, and the available building lots
have been rapidly bought and built upon.
All of these things have contributed to
give life and vigor TO Savannah. 1t is true
that her business is steadily increasing, but
all the new corners are not depending upon
the additional business. Mechanics are
coming here because they can get work to
do, and can get houses at reasonable rents
Others are coming because the steady in
crease In the city's population offers them
| opportunities to make a living. Those who
are coming are coming TO stay, and all who
come have no difficulty in finding somo-
thing to do, because Savannah is going
steadily ahead, and, besides her increasing
business, her own growth is aiTording the
means for her additional growth.

When Gov Hill, of New York, signed the

that under certain conditions, too high cleo

senator Reagan,s secretarr.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 15-Sena.or Reagan,
of Texas, is the first senator courageous
enough to employ a female private secretary.
Every senator not the chairman Of a com.
mittee is allowed private secretary, who
receives a salary OF So a day during the ses-
sion. good many senators appoint their
sons or nephews as private secretaries, as the
responsibilities attached TO the position are
not heavy, and the So day is not bad
thing to keep in the family. No senator has
ever been known to make his daughter or
niece private secretary, but Senator Reagan
shows his contempt of traditions and his be-
lief in the equality of the sexes by making
his wife his private secretary. He dismissed
the man who had officiated in that capacity
last summer, and had Mrs. Reagan's name
duly enrolled on the books Of the sergeant-at.

DEATH IN THE BOX.
An Internal Machine Received by a
Brooklyn Man,
BUT IT FAILED TO EXPLODE.
An Anonymous NotO Accompanied tho
Package, Which Is Said to Have
Been Filled with Gun Cotton,
Broken Glass and Nails.

New York, Dec l5-The internal ma
chine episode, which came near causing the
death of Mrs. Wechsler, wife of the senior
partner of the firm of Wechsler & Abra-
hams, of Brooklyn, a year ago, has been re-
called by similar case which occurred at
the residence Of Mr.. Michael McHugh, 65S
Washington avenue. In the present case,
however, the mysterious box was not opened
by Mr.. McHugh, to whom it was addressed,
but by another man, and then only after
careful consideration of what the result
might be. The gentlemen concerned were
not taken unawares, as was Mrs. Wechsler,
for the nature of the box was suspected
Had it been otherwise serious result would
have followed.
About o o'clock Thursday evening boy
called at Mr.. MciIugh's with a package,
neatly wrapped in MANILA paper and tied
with heavy hemp cord. The boy said that
gentleman had given him the package to
deliver, and that the man said a note was in
side, which would explain who the sender
was
The box was about inches wide, inches
long and inches deep 1t was fitted with
a sliding lid On the lid was found neatly
written note addressed to Mr. McHugh, but
unsigned What its contents wers is not
note only to the police. The anonymous note
and the sliding lid aroused Mr.. McHugh's
suspicious, and he declined to open the box
He laid it aside and in the morning showed
it to a friend named Frank, who said he
would not be afraid of it and who offered to
open the lid. Mr. McHugh walked away as
his friend commenced operations on the
mysterious box. First he carefully tilted
the box on end and heard the loose contents
gradually settle to the lower end Then he
carefully started the sliding lid. 1t moved an
inch or two and nothing startling occurred.
The aperture thus made disclosed guam
tity Of yellowish looking cotton, which was
carefully picked out 1t is supposed to be
gun cotton Then the lid was pulled off and
a sharp explosion followed. A small guam
tity of the gun cotton had been overlooked,
and this was what caused the mischief The
sides of the box were blown out and guam
tity of glass and nails were showered around
the room. But Mr.. Frank pluckily perse-
vered, determined to solve all the mystery Of

The inner side of the lid was covered with

McHugh cannot imagine who sent the box
or who could wish him harm in such a das-
tardly and underhanded way.

AFTER THE CUP.
Australian Yachtsmen TO Try for
the Americas Trophy.
THEY WILL CHALLENGE US.
Walter Rceks, Yacht Designer from
the Antirodes, Is In This Country
After Points-He win Go
Hence to England.

NEW YORK, Dec. l5.-Mr. Walter Reeks is
in New York city taking notes, with view
to taking the trophy of yachting supremacy,
the Americas cup TO Australia. But al
though Mr. ReekS, the Australian yacht de-
signer, is iii this country getting points,
about American yachts intending to copy
the best ones and to find out what he has TO
beat he is doing so openly, with the avowed
intention of building yacht that will beat
the Volunteer or any other champion of the
stars and stripes
Mr. Reeks says that the Australians win
certainly send a challenge for the cup. The
yacht viii be designed by Mr. RealSs and in
model will resemble what is known here as
the compromise sloop. Mr.. Reeks is the de-
sgner of one international champion yacht,
the Era, owned 10y A. c. Nilsson, vice COM
modore of the Royal Sydney Yacht squadron.
She was built last year, and besides winning
the international challenge cup won every
race in which she started, carrying Off sixty
prizes
The Era is 5S feet on the load water line,
with Is feet BEAM 9lS feet draught 81 tons
displacement and carries T. 100 square feet OF
sail area, according to English measurement,
or about 500 by American rules II will be
seen that she is wider in proportion and less
deep than the Thistle. The new challenger
will be of this type.
Concerning his visit TO this country Mr.
Reeks says:
II have come simply to see what you are
doing in the way of yacht building on this
side, and TO learn all | can; and from here
60 TO England for the same purpose. Every
where have received the utmost attention
and hospitality. As soon as arrived went
straight to Mr.. Burgess, and told him what
wanted lie gave me his carl TO various
men, and went under his auspices TO see
the different boats; nothing could exceed his
Kindness. have come across many points
which can be advantageously worked up.n
When asked whether he thought another
boat would be built here to compete with the
Australian yacht, Mr.. Reeks said: "Well,
that | cannot say. Mr. Burgess says he can
not do anything better than the Volunteer;
but my own opinion is that when the occa-
sion for another boat arises he viii do his
best, and that best can safely be trusted
Has your challenge been sent ing'
"Not yet but it will be as soon as our
boat is far enough advanced. There will be
the custom house certifcate and other details
to be arranged first"
''Do you sail under the same rules as we
dor
mo; we sail under the English rule by
which both length AMI sai area count. But
here the length and sail area count only 50

quently, we do not carry SO much sail as you
