r. More Widnms than Midowers.

There are 500, 900 more widows than
widowers in England. In France for
every 100 widowers there are 1914 widows.
These facts lead the Westminster Review
to treat the growing disposition of men to
marry late IN life as a very serious evil to
modern society. Such men usually marry
younger women, who, in the
natural order of things, may
be expected to survive them
Even where widowers enter again into
matrimony they do not often take for
wives women of a corresponding or an
approximately corresponding age, but
young maidens, who are likely to be left
widows. The great longevity of women
has even induced some philosophers to
advise that, on the contrary, the wife
should be older than the husband, and
there have been some notable marriages
where that was the case.

WASHINGTON, Aug. I0.-Dr. T. ]. Combs. who
was detailed by the surgeon-general OF the Ma
rine hospital service to make an investigation
of the rumors of yellow fever at the port of Tam

He says that on his arrival at Tampico he made
himself known to the members of the profession
and was conducted through hospital, civil and
military; that he examined the records and
made as thorough an investigation as possible
On all sides he met with the assn rance of the
non-existence of yellow fever in any of its forms
At present, he says, there is not even a
sporadic case OF yellow fever in Tam
pico. This, however. he regards as
surprising, as the city is in constant
communication with Vera Cruz where the dis

PTTTsBURG, Pa, Aug. 1O.-A special from Con-
nellsville, Pa, says: When the sheriff and his
posse went to Meyer this afternoon to arrest the
rioting Huns they found none in sight. The

They found but two. These were placed under
guard at Squire Murphy's Office. The posse
then went up the hill and arrested two more.
Word was received that the Huns, to the
fence, armed with pistols, knives and clubs, and
were awaitlng the coming of the officers. The
men separated and surrounded the unruly for
eigners. When they came TO within seventy-ive
yards OF the Huns fire was opened on the officers.
II was promptly returned, and the Huns broke
and ran. No one was hurt on either side. Sheriff
Miller collected his men and formed q plan of
action. The Huns were in the mean
time out of sight, and the officers
started toward Morgan station W here

TO PLANT 800 TREES.
Trimming Out the Dead Trees in
Burnt District.

Trimming Out the Dead Trees in the
Burnt District.
"What is your programme for tree
planting?" Alderman Harmon, chairman of
the street and lane committee, was asked
yesterday.
Alderman Harmon replied that there is
no money Immediately available for tree
planting, but that his committees expect to
put out about 800 trees in February. He
says that all the dead and decaying trees
are being cut down and their places are to
be supplied with trees of quick growth.
such as the syca more, umbrella, elm and
red berry, and some dugwood trees will be
put out on account of their early spring
foliage and blooms, although the trees are
of slower growth than the others men
toned
Where will these trees be principally
plantedP'
Principally in what is known as the fire
district, where there was so much destruc-
ton during the fire last spring. Trees will
be planted in various parts of the city in
squa eS and streets, aud we expect to plant
some trees along the walks of the park ex-
tension. We hope to be able to make some
arrange nent for watering the trees, aud
giving them more attention to see il we
| cannot have greater proportion of them
to llve.n
"And what about Liberty street?n
1--WE expect to plant jasmine and other
vines there and make systematic effort to
promote the growth OF grass in the grass
| platS. The grass plats will be fortified and
| sodded where necessary, as that is tine surest
| way to get good stand. We have not been
able to do as much in the direction of i'm
proving and identifying the streets and
squares as we should like to have accom-
plished, owing to o lack of funds"
Alderman Harmon has taken decided
interest in identifying the squares, and
some of them that were sand banks in dry
weather and ponds in wet weather, have
been graded, new walks put down or old
ones renewed, and grass sowed OF sod
planted, so that the squares are both orna.

THE BEST INVEsTMRN r.
Reasons Why It Will Pay You to Take
Stock In the Interstate Build ding and
Loan Association.

Reasons Why It Will Pay You to Take
Stock In the Interstate Bull ding and
Loan Association.
Because it has all the advantages of a local
building and loan association, and is conducted
by local board of your own citizens
Because there is no bidding for loans; it has
fixed rate of premium, and every member
knows, if he wishes to borrow exactly what his
money will cost.
Because the rate of interest Is only per cent.
with no commissions or deductions for nego-
tiating loans.
Because in a few years the rent you are nav.
ing will pay for your home.
Because if you do not wish to borrow Won
need not do so. II there is no demand for the
money in Savannah, the funds are used in some
other city, and never allowed to accumulate
being loaned only to its members at a fixed pre.
MUM, and ALWAYS on real estate, which is the
basis of all security.
Because the stock is non-forfeitahe The
Association will wait on borrowers or Investors
six months, when they can be reinstated by the
payment of small additional interest
Because after one year you can repay your
loan or surrender your stock and receive hack
the money paid. After two years you can get
your money back and 6 per cent interest, or
borrow 80 per cent. of the then value of stock
without further security than the stock itself
Should you die your heirs can withdraw, with
6 per cent. interest, or continue the stock.
Because it will pay you three times the inter
est of railroad stock, three times the interest of
bank stock, or five times the interest of govern
heard of a building and loan association failingg
and they are now 112 years old.

HAVANA SKIES.
How a Customs officer Surprised a
Sailor with Struggled Goods.

How Customs Officer Surprised a
Sailor with Struggled Goods.
Yesterday afternoon at about O'Clock,
as Capt. John Reilly, the custom house
boarding officer, was on his way to the
wharf Of the Lower press, where the British
steamship Naples was to dock, he met a
sailor coming up Gas House hill with a
package carefully wrapped up in brown
paper. Capt. Reilly asked the sailor
what he had in the package,
and the sailor replied that it contained some
linen which he was carrying to a wash
woman. The offic n demanded to see what
was IN the bundle, at the same time display
ing his badge, when the sailor, without any
more ceremony, said: There, take it," at
the same throwing the package to the officer,
and then did not stand on the order of his
going but went at once.
Capt Reilly on examining the package
found two boxes and two half boxes of
foreign cigars, which. of course, he will
return to the collector for condemnation.
The sailor was too 1eet-footed for the board
| ing officer and made good his escape.
