SEEING ST. LOUIS.
The Places of Interest Visited by the
All-America Party.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Oct. 29.-The ALL
American delegation was not ready this
morning at 9 o'clock to inspect tho fire
department exhibition that had been fixed
by the local committee to be given at that
hour. The travellers were chiefly in bed.
They were tired. Nearly 500 miles of travel
on Monday and reception hospitalities until
l o'clock this morning had given them a
decided desire for rest. Thus the start in
carriages for the sightseeing was more
than an hour late.

TO PROTECT THEIR INTERESTS.
The Savannah Loan Associations and
the Foreign Companies.


Very few people outside Of those directly
interested in the management have any
idea Of the immense amount Of capital in
vested in loan and building associations in
Savannah, and equally as little is known Of
the practical workings Of these institutions
The establishment OF agencies Of several
foreign corporations in Savannah has
caused stir among the local associations,
and they are looking into the plans and
guarantees OF the foreign companies.
There are dozen loan and building asso-
Citations in Savannah, besides the banks. ".

and Improvement Company, r. ID. Guer-
ard, president Of the Chatham Dime Saw
ings Bank, and who is a seockholder and di-
rector In several loan associations, c. II.
Dorsett, and Isaac Beckett Of the Title
Guarantee and Loan Company and Dime
Savings Bank, who are posted on loan
and building association matters, say that
the Savannah associations are able TO
supply all the capital that is required here,
and they afford opportunities for invest
ment without the necessity OF going else
were 20 invest safely and profitably what is
accumulated at home. They claim that the
foreign companies do not do what they
claim 10 do. They claim to loan money at
6 per cent. per annum. Mr.. Beckett ex-
plains how il is done.
''i," he says, you borrow $1,000 at Z
per cent. per annum for seven years the
amount you are required 10 pay at the ex-
piratlon Of the term is 81, 420, but you have
the Use Of 81 600 for the full period, whereas
II you borrow from these institutions even
at Q per cent. you have the use OF
81 900 for only one month. For ex-
ample, the interest on $1,000 for seven
years at six per cent. is 1870, making

three years and half you have paid back
$40 out Of the 81 900 borrowed. To make
It palmer, you pay 1920 as interest upon

THE GUARDS G ALA DAY.
The Programme of Events for Thanks
giving at Tybee.

The Programme of Events for Thanks
giving at Tybee.
One Of the most amusing features of the
Guards gala day at Tybee, Noy. %, will
be mule race, or, in jockey parlance, a
SLOW racer The race is "free for alp and
the S25 prize goes to the last mule that
crosses the line. To prevent jockeying the
riders are to be interchanged 80 that each
rider is on some other fellows mule.
The rider being on another mans mule
will do his utmost to bring him in first,
thereby throwing his own mule in the rear.
The amusement Of the race will doubtless
be greatly enhanced by the proverbial per-
versity of the animals, and it is more than
probable that some riders will be ignomin-
iously pitched into thu surf, landed high
and dry in the sand-hills, or perhaps treated
to an unexpected ride through the adjacent
woods. So far there are four entries.
The goat race will also add to the enjoy
lnent of the day. There are already sever al
entries, and the boys will also have chance
to show the speed of their favorites.
Bicycle riding, target shooting, prize drill,
and distribution of 473 cash prizes and a
hop are on the programme. The guards
had 5000 at their picnic and they will have
5000 on gala day, and will run ten trains
TO the island.
The floor committee is busy preparing a
list OF twenty ladies who will act as lady
managers on the dancing pavilion. They
will be leading society ladies. thus insuring
full attendance of ladies.

quent rent. The court learned from Dis
trict Attorney Erwin that Stsgins bond is
only $500, and that he had been surrendered
by his bondsman and had only bsen ia Jail
three or four days.
Judge Speer said that there is q sympa-
thetic side to all such cases, aud he did not
order any reduction of the bond. He, how
ever had the case set down for trial on
Monday Immediately after the conclusion
of the Smith case.

Presents.

In selecting presents for birthdays, we'd
dings, or the holidays. nothing more refined
or elegant can be chosen than suitably
framed etching. The great demand for
them is one of the best evidences Of an
improved appreciation of art. The collec-
ton brought out by Mr.. NJ. Temple Tay-
lor at the L. g. B. S. NJ. H. is unquestion-
ably the largest and most select ever offered
in Savannah, and contains among other
choice subjects a remark proof of Mercier's
etching from Jules Breton's great master
piece, Fin du TraUdil," and is pronounced
by the best judges as one of the finest sam
pies of the etchers' art ever produced in
this or any other country.

Yesterdays HEAVY RAIN.
A Dangerous Storm Prevailing on th,
Cult Coast


The storm which developed in the Gulf
night before last after midnight Is moving
very slowly. Il is causing a good deal of
rain, and high winds are prevailing on the
Georgia coast. About two inches of rain
fell here yesterday and last night. The
wind reached a velocity of thirty-two miles
an hour at one time The temperature went
down TO 4So. Atlanta and Charleston re-
ported a blow Of thirty-six miles per hour.
Galveston thirty four miles and Rio Grande
twenty-eight miles. The rainfall at
Charleston yesterday was little less than
an inch.
1t is likely, Observer benson said
last night, that the winds and rain will con-
tinue to-day, after which it is likely that
the weather will be cooler. The storm on
the Gulf coast is increasing in energy, but
the high area in the northern part of the
country confines it to the Gulf The tenn
perature at Atlanta last night was 36e, and

ceny of government property from Fort

A Richmond County Farmer Plum
dered by a Negro.
David Allen, of Richmond county, who
is in the city as a witness in the United
States courts, claims to have been robbed of
his silver watch and Sc in money night be-
fore last. He says that he was sitting
down on the steps Of a stoop near his
boarding house on Congress street, when a
colored man came along and said, "Boss.
I'll take charge of dat ticker" and, suiting
the action to the words, he cut the chain
In two with some sharp instrument and
took the watch out Of his pocket. The SO.
he thinks, was taken from his pocket after
he went to bed, but this is discredited by
the landlady, aud it is thought his money
was taken at the same time the watch was
stolen, Allen being in no condition to resist
the felonious assault upon him at the time.
He is a farmer and school teacher. and is
known as popular orator in his section.
