THE NEW PUBLIC BUILDING.
Tie Titles 10 the Site to Be Recorded
IN the Superior Court To-Day.

Tie Titles 70 the Site to Be Recorded
IN the Superior Court To-Day.
The question of site for the govern
ment building has at last been settled
District Attorney Dupont Query arrived
from Macon yesterday afternoon with tie
title, and will have it placed on record in
the Office of the clerk of the superior court
this morning. The government has had
the title in its possession for several months,
but owing to supposed defects it was not
accepted until about month ago, and then
a further delay ensued from a mistake in
transmitting tie act passed by the Georgia
legislature condeumlng site instead OF the
act ceding the site.
The lots purchased by the government
are at the corner of York and Abercorn
streets, and are 90xl72 feet, facing north on
Oglethorpe square They are known on the
city map as lois l, 2 and 3 Arson ward.
Tie plans for the building are well under
way, and it Is expected that the work of
construction will begin a. an early day
The property was formerly owned by the
Bolton family and was bought in 1881 by
Gel. j. II. Essill, who intended at the time
to remodel the old mansion and use it as a
family residence, but on examination it
was found that it would be an expensive
under taking TO modeTnize the building, aud
the idea was abandoned. The house has
sixteen rooms in it and is now used as a
boarding house.

THE BELL BOY A NECESSITY.
Something That q Hotel Cannot be
Run Without.

'front.'
A slenderly built colored boy moved out
| of his corner on q bench and sauntered up
to the desk to receive an order from the
always smiling clerk.
zone hundred wants a pitcher of water"
The stair climber" groaned and scratched
his head as he remembered that 100 is on
the fourth floor and long way from any
body. He skinned" up the first flight of
stairs and was of the last step of Brussels
CARPET and out of the clerks sight. Then
he moped along and finally sat down to
rest When he reached 100" the occu-
pant had either falleu asleep or had dressed
and gone down after the water himself,
thinking that the bell boy has tainted on
the stairway.
The bell boy, however,is an in
dispensable in hotel, and with
out him a hotel would not be
hotel. The commercial darling" would
be like man with mis- hands tied, or "a
stranger in foreign land" There would
be no place TO put the extra change" that
is lavished on the stair climber" In TRUTH
he would not put up" where there had
been an annihilaton of the bell boy.
The bell boy sees good deal,
and much that he ought not
to see. But the guests regard
him, seemingly, as one of the family, and
expect him to have neither ears nor eyes.
Ladies' as a rule, are more liberal i'll their
tips" than men The bell boy hunts the
town over for something that he would be
ashamed to buy. and takes especial pains to
add that the purchase was for lady guest
Pretty bellies send the te.lboy out after
books that they would not evel dare 10 ask
the clerk at the book store for. But the bell
boy brings them in always with a smile.
The bellhoy is pleased the most
when he is called to a room where a stir
ring game Of poker is in progress he is
delighted then, and will fight for the snap"
il anybody tries TO sneak it from him. he
sits about in the room, and whenever he
ats upon the players they usually drop
him chip, and when the game is finished
in the wee hours in the morning, he pre-
sents his chips for payment, and it amounts
to IS or $40
The bell boy comes in for his share of
heroism, too. Recently he saved two
pretty young ladies at hotel here from
death by gas. He found them in a state of
asphyxiation. Not long ago, In a western
state, a congressman Numbered into room
of lady guest while she was asleep. She
rang the bell and the smiling bell boy came,
and relieved the lady of the congressmsn's
presence The bell boy gets lot of points
about people. He hears everyt ing that is
going on as thoy tramp along the halls of
tho hotel after the clock has marked IL.
The bell boy has been of high importance
In courts, and divorces have. many a time,
been decided by him. his pay alone
amounts to less than a living. But the
'tips" no gets swells his income to respecta-
bility in wages. Bell boys, as a rule, are
all dudes, and wear their possessions on
their back.

The Best Time to Buy valuaoles.

This is the dull season of the year. This
information is not exclusive or from inspi-
ration. Trade is pretty well as far as it
goes-but it doesn't go far. The purchasing
power of dollar now ia something surpris-
ing, simply because there are more dollars
than trade. In word, we are now inclined
to give a very large dollars worth for 100
cents just to keep things moving. Within
the past few months we have added to our
stock Ia various ways, new ideas, new con-
ceits, new tricks and quips in jewelry, and
SO on. We've got to keep up, you know,
with the strides of inventive and artistic
excellence. Our stock is worth looking
over, and, as intimated, we aytLL sell gerry
close to move some of it. This is q good
time to renew household articles. Solid
Silver table ware, superb plated ware,
ornamental goods. For personal use or
adornment we offer line par excellence Ct
Ladies' nne Gold, Silver and Diamond
Jewelry, Ladies' Watches, Chains and
Charms, Gents Watches and Jeweiry, ETC.
All Of these articles can be bought cheaper
now than when trade gets brisker. Some
body will get married next fell-buy the
presents you intend to give not0. They
will keep, and you will save money.

REFUGEES IN CAMP.
No Lack of Accommodations at Camp
Perry.

No Lack OF Accommodations at Camp
Perry.
Dr. Devan, abiding to a rumor that there
was lack of supplies at Camp Perry, said
last night that there is not the least ground
for any such complaint. In fact, he says
that all acquisitions by DR.. Guiteras, who
has charge of the camp, whether they are
made by mail or telegraph, are promptly
filed.
The doctor exhibited lot of vouchers
showing that the government has been and
is now very liberal in supplying the camp
with all that is necessary for the comfort of
the refugees The vouchers cover almost
every article of substantial food. with bed
ding, cots, chairs, camp-stools, queensware
and glassware. Among the vouchers was
one for fifty additional blankets, shipped
last Monday. Furniture and bedding to
accommodate $50 persons have been sup
piled, and there has been and will be no
stinting of provisions. DIR. Devan says it
was Surgeon General Hamilton's orders to
give everything that may be wanted,
and as DIR. Guiteras' instructions were to
make a requiSition for all that is wanted,
Camp Perry has not only been kept we'll
supplied thus far, but will continue to be
supplied literally. acquisitions, whether
mail or Telegraph, are filed, and the goods
shipped on the same day, reaching Camp
Perry at night
Where diagnosis shows that any mem
Der of the camp has any symptoms of yell
low fever, the patient is sent back to Jack
sonville, ride of only twenty-five minutes
,or half an hour. where the best medical
attention and skilled nurses are furnished
In suitable quarters, which accom-
modations could not be had in
camp. The health of the
camp is reported good. Four stoves are
used for cooking food, and the refugees soon
assimilate themselves to the surroundings,
and with plenty t. eat and warm blankets
for the cool nights, they do not find tent
life SO disagreeable after all. Armed pa
trolls guard the camp to prevent entrance
ana exit, and DR.. Guiteras is reported as
having his hands full in looking after his
large family Of refugees.

Anniversary of the Uniformed Rank
K. of P. to be Observed To-day.
The uniform divisions of the Knights of
Pythias will celebrate the anniversary Of
their order tomorrow at o'clock. There
are two divisions in Savannah, DuGuesclin
No. / and Teutonia No. 3. DuGuesclin
division is composed of fifty men and is one
of the first divisions in the state The First
regiment OF Georgia is composed of seven
divisions, one In each of the following cities:
Atlanta, Augusta, Macon, Rome and
Brunswick and two in Savannah.
The growth of the uniform rank of the
Knights of Pythias in this state is wonder
full. About seven years ago Mr.. James
Naylor, Jr., came to Savannah from New
York and started division Of the uniform
rank. The ouly members of toe or9aniZ l.
ton during the earlier years of its existence
were r. r. Richards, the late Charles E.
Wakefield, s. c. Lee, r. L. L. Brauss and
law Office of Mr.. Richards, where the lodge
was organized, until they secured the hall
at the corner of Bull and Broughtou streets.
They remained there for several years, and
their number increased, and two years ago
a regiment was organized r. r. Richards
was the first coloael. At his resignation,
r. f. Harmon was elected colonel,
The officers OF the Dujuesclin division
for the present term are: Captain, w. A
Walker; Knight Lieutenant, G. A. Cox;
Knight Herald, James Naylor, Jr. d; Knight
Guard, T. E. Broughton; Knight Sentinel,
w. T. Leopold; Knight Treasurer, Frank
Werm, and Knight Secretary, William Orr.
The increase in membership of the
uniform rank, to a great extent, enabled
the order to erect the handsome building at
the corner of Barnard and York streets,
which it has occupied for the past eighteen
| months.
The knights will meet at their armory
tomorrow, and will afterward form on
| South Broad street and parade until about
o'clock, when they will return to the

THE WEATHER IN CIPHER.
What the Signal bureau Records
Showed Last Night.

Error, Library, Gumbo, Ensign" was
the telegraph weather report sent out from
the signal Office here last night Obviously,
that means that the baremeter reading was
3d. o.. the temperature was IS; that the
local prediction was for foul weather to-
day, that the dew point was ~, that The
wind was from the east, and the weather
clear, that the velocity of the wind was
miles an hour and that the maxim I'm tenn
perature was 90.
The signal service does all its reporting
In cipher. All messages are received and
sent out in the above kind Of language.
The oldest words in the language seem to
have been selected to form the cipher, and 1t
takes q trained memory to read what to the
uueducated is an unintelligible tumble. 1t
is ali plain to the operator, though, and he
reads it as readily as he does the plaiaest En-
glish.
The average temperature yesterday was
exactly what it was the day before, and
Just what it has averaged, too, for the past
fifteen years, but the maximum tempera-
ture was 8 higher than it was on Monday
Savannah, with one exception, was the
coolest place in the Savannah district OF the
cotton belt, and Townsville was the hot
test, the temperature tlere mounting up. TO
99'. The average highest temperature for
the twelve stations in the district was ga.
At o'clock last night mercury had
dropped to 80. At Jacksonville it went
down to 76' There is still very warm
weather in the west and northwest.
A cyclone of moderate energy was re-
ported Monday moruing southwest of
Havana, Cuba, moving northwest, and
vessels sailing from gulf ports were eau
toned. There has been no forerunner of
the storm here, and it has probably passed
out to sea. The local Indications for today
are rain, slightly cooler and northwesterly
winds

established.
The Kansas City, Fort Scott and Mem
phis, and the Kansas City, Memphis and
Birmingham railroads have just completed
arrangements for fast freight time between
points along their lines and New York by
way of Birmingham and Savannah, which
will likely cause considerable comma; ion
among the trunk lines. The new arrange
ments, which went into effect Sunday,
make it possible to ship freiguts from New
York to Kansas City in seven days, or az
quick as the trunk lines. The above named
roads have just put on thr ugh line of
fast freights, which connect direct from
Birmingham to Kansas City. At the latter

A Pathetic Tale From Sydney.
From the sydney Australia BuIletfn.

From the Sydney australia Bulletin
The other day a leading Sydney solicitor
received instructions from London to hunt
up ayoung man who had quilted England
ten years previously, and a draft for $500
was incosed to pay his passage home. After
a course of advertising a member of charit-
able society called in and directed the solic-
itor to a certain howell in Lower Alexandria,
Sydney. The solicitor, knowing the LAY
of the country" judiciously sent his clerk
down to catch the fever instead of doing
it in person. That well dressed young man
explored the barbarous region, dodging
through back lanes aud over mud piles and
among brogea fences that hung wearily
and lopsidedly amid abysses Of mud, and
at last he arrived at hut which boasted
a box and pile of rags ID straw for lis
sole furniture a weary woman who had
once been handsome, aud who under hap
pier auspices would be handsome again,
begged that they should not be turned out
of their dismal abode until her husband was
better, and hollow-eyed invalid st etched
on pile of rags In the corner echoed the
petition. And these two were the heirs to
fortune OF 100000.

FELL INTO BAD HANDS.
Young Skies Among the Frogtown
Ph.listines.


"Sikes," the young African grape peddler,
fell into bad bands on West Broad street
yesterday. "Sikes" considers himself, head
and shoulders. above the boys on the West
Broad street side, and he seldom ever goes
among them. Yesterday was dull day,
however, in his business, and after drum
miag the Central railroad DEPOT, he ven
tured a short distance down West Broad
street. The boys deserted him the moment
he was fairly in their territory, and they
made for him. They picked his grapes out
of his basket, stuck pins into him aud
pinched his legs. "Sikes" bore it I'M
til his eyes fell on hickory
switch, and then he rose up in rebellion.
He thrashed the whole crowd and com
pietely routed them for a few minutes.
The "Frogtowns' rallied, though, and ro-
doubling their attack on poor Skies, floored
the peddler and logged him soundly. One
of them plunged a rusty knife into the
peddler's hand, but when the blood began
TO show up his assailants fed, leaving Skies
wallowing in the dust. When he recovered,
he went to keiffer's drug store, where his
hand was dressed
