THE advocates of an alien.land law,
that Is not 80 much an alien land law
as an embargo on outside capital,
will find very few advocates in Texas.
Alien landlordism is the objective
point, and nothing else. To secure
this it is not necessary to debar cap
itaI. Upon the points at issue there
is no division of general sentiment.
The apparent diversities of opinion on
this matter are not real. Fictitious
issues are made and the contention
| is upon these.

PLANS FOR THE NIGAT SCHOOL.
The School to open in the Whitfield
Building Monday Night.

The School to open in the Whitfield
Euilding Monday Night.
Everything will be in readiness to open
up the public night school Monday night al
s o'clock at the school rooms in the Whit
field building.
The two large rooms on the top floor Of
the building have been divided by partitions
| into four good large rooms. which is very
desirable arrangement for the separation OF
the classes. Desks have been provided and
arrangements made to seat $50 pupils. The
rooms have been fitted up with electric
lights.
The teachers elected Monday have
all accepted. Principal O'Hara and
the teachers met Supt. Baker at
the academy last night to
prepare for the opening Of the school and
to divide the work.
The school will be conducted under much
more satisfactory conditions this year than
last when the rooms of the day school at
| the academy we're used for the purpose and
the teachers of the day schools also taught
in the night school. The classes only met
every other night then. The school was an
experiment, too, but now it may be re-
garded as permapencY.
A number of boys have applied for adj
mission. Cards are not necessary, however
and the boys desiring to attend the school
will meet the teachers at the school rooms
Monday night.

THE NIaHT THE SPIRITS FRoLIC.

All Halloween the Time They Let
themselves Loose.
Tonight is All Halloween. Savannah
never escapes its celebration.
There is no season around which is wound
such chain of omens, both good and bad.
Charms and spells without number
are brought into play, signs are inter-
preted aud the whole world OF Invisible
spirits invoked to bestow { cir gifts.
These customs have been practiced for
centuries. Whence and how they came
frst who can tell with any certainty? All
that is known is that time has put his stamp
ana seal upon their quaintness and erudity
that they Lave been passed from parent to
child, and the traditions of the day have
gone from mouth to mouth through genera
tions: although the learning and civiliza-
tion of modern times affects to hold them in
contempt, people sometimes borrow for
their amusement the traditions and observS
ances OF their remote and simple ancestors.
Aside from all the prankish things the
young girls do, the festival never fails to be
taken advantage OF by prankish boys to I'M
load their mischief. The from gate that
does not get lifted from its hinges and car
ried to the nsxt yard Is lucky and the do or
bell that is not pulled until the servants
refuse to answer its call is the exception.

ALL SAINTS DAY.

Tomorrow an Important Feast in the
Catholic and Episcopal Churches.
Tomorrow will be All Saints day, an
important feast in the Roman Catholic
and Episcopal churches. 1t is one of the
Oldest feasts of Christianity As early as
the fourth century the Greeks kept on the
first Sunday after Pentecost the feast of
all martyrs and saints, aud the Catholic
church still possesses a sermon Of st. Chry-
sostom delivered on that day.
In the west the feast was introduced bv
Pope Boniface ". after he had ded-
icated, as the Church OF the Blessed Virgin
and the Martyrs the Pantheon, which had
been made over to him by the Emperor
Phocus. The feast OF the dedication was
kept on May Is. About 73l Gregory III.
consecrated a chapel in st. Peters church
10 honor OF all the saints, from which time
All Saints dag has bsen kept 10 Rome. as
now. on Nov. l. From about the middle of
the ninth century the feast came into gen.
eral Observance throughout the west. 1t
ranks as double of the frst-class with an
octave.

AT THE THEATSR.
Alexander Calvin as D'Artagnan I
"rhe Three Guardsmen."

Alexander Calvin as D'Artagnan q
"rhe Three Guardsmen."
The audience which filled the theater last
night in anticipation OF witnessing superior
acting was not disappointed. AS phil
lippe D'Artagnan" Alexander Salvini sur
| passed the expectations Of those who saw
| him. He was three times called before the
| curtain and was again and again applauded.
| Those who have read Dumas fascinating
story do not need to be told that the drama
constructed from 1t is full of stirring
scenes, romantic incidents and strong Situa-
| tions, and all who have seen Salvini at his
best can readily conceive the verve and
vigor and life-like realism with which he
invests the central figure OF these moving
scenes
There are few actors better fitted to the
part of "D'Artagnan" than Salvini. His
fine figure and proportions ard graceful and
gallant bearing are admirably suited to the
character Of the brave youhg Gascon sol
dier, whose sword was his fortune, and who
with it fought his way to fame and
honor in the perilous times when France
was struggling In the grasp of the arch
plotter, Cardinal Richelieu.
Every look and gesture Of the young
actor is full Of life and meaning. A mere
description cannot do justice to the unique
ness and effectiveness Of his scting. 1t must
be seen to be appreciated, and once seen it
is not soon forgotten.
1t would be unjust TO leave unmentioued
the intelligent company with which Salviui
is surrounded. Miss Fetter, in the role of
"Anno of Austria" shared the applause
which was bestowed upon her loyal Gascon
champion and hero. Mis- Maud Dixon
made an ideal Constance AS Lady do
Winter Miss de Forrest was warmly re-
ceived Mr.. Ben Johnson's conception OF
the character of the treach rous "Riche-
lieu" was admirable.
There has not been finer audience in the
theater this season than that which greeted
Salvlni and his company. To day he will
appear in "a Child OF Naples" The play is
story of the lazzaroni of Italy. Tonight
Salvini will be seen as "Don Cesar de
Bazan," the dashing, reckless Spanish
grandee, a character in which but three ac-
tors Of to-day have been successful Booth
Coduelin and Salvini.

Delays in the Mails.

A good deal of complaint comes from the
small towns near Savannah, and for fifty
miles or more out along the railroads, of the
failure TO get the mails from Savannah
promptly. Subscribers to the MORNING
NEWS complain of the failure of the paper
to reach them on time. The matter was
referred TO Supt. Terrell OF the Fourth
division of the railway mail service, who
is investigating the complaints with view
to remedying the delays. One cause of the
delays, Supt. Terrell says, is on account of
the difficulty the postal clerks leaving Sa-
vannah, on the Central railroad particularly,
have in getting the mail cars from the rail-
road yards In time. frequently getting
them only few minutes before
the departure Of trains. The mail is piled
iato the cars and the clerks are unable to
perform any part Of their distribution before
leaving, as they have been able TO do when
they got the mail cars earlier. This, the
clerks say, is the fault of the railroad.

THE UNIFORMS GOOD ENOUGH.
Chief Green Doesn't Think the Police
Need New Clothes

Chief Green Doesn't Think the Police
Need New Clothes.
Chief Green says that the understanding
with regard to the winter uniforms of the
police is entirely erroneous He says that
full winter uniforms are bought every other
year. The uniforms are worn on day duty
two years, and on service at night the third
year.
At the end OF last winter the uniforms
were collected and put away, and are now
In good state of preservation. New panta-
locus have been ordered. because they wear
out much faster than coats.
The overcoats which will be worn by the
force this winter were ordered two years
ego. They arrived late, and, as both last
winter aud the preceding winter were very
mild, the overcoats are only slightly worn,
and will do good service for the third sea-
son.
The uniforms of the police are ordered by
the chief with the advice Of the mayor, ac-
oording to the rules, when he considers they
are needed.
Chief Green says he does not propose to
put the city to any unnecessary expense
for uniforms. He says he is not ashamed to
wear his uniform the second year.
the most Of the police, however, don't
agree with Chief Green, and it is said that
they will present petition to council ask
ing for coats They claim that this is the
first time they have ever been denied them.

HE ALDERMEN LIKE IT.
The Gsmewen Police Telegraph sys-
tenn to be Introduced Here.

The Gamewel Police Telegraph sys-
tenn to be Introduced Here.
1t is probable that before long the Came
well police telegraph system will be adopted
in Savannah. agent Wann was in the city
last week explaining its workings to the
aldermen, and several Of them are en-
thusiastic about it. Nothing will be done
in the matter this year, but provision will
lie made for it In the next budget. IL the
system is adopted there will be no necessity
for sergeants because the officers will have
to make their own reports TO headquarters
of their whereabouts at stated intervals by
the electric system, and one man In the
office night and day will fill all require
ments.
The scheme is to have little wooden or
iron booths erected throughout the city
with telephones aad electric bell systems.
When the time arrives for a policeman to
report 10 headquarteri all he has to do is
to stem into one OF the booths touch q but
ton and his number is registered at the bar
racks The booths are provided with an
arm and colored light. IL day
time when the officer at the bar
racks wishes 10 call a policeman all ne
has TO 90 is to touch the button of the booth
nearest where the policeman should be, and
the arm begins waving. After the police
man calls the barracks by telephone all he
has to do is to shove the arm back to its
original position. At night, by the same
method, the colored lantern is set in work
ing order to attract the attention of the po-
lice.
The system would also do away with the
necessity of policeman leaving cir beats tc
take prisoners to the lookup. A message
Tor the patrol wagon could be sent from the
booths TO the barracks.
The cost of putting in the system will b.
about SIS, 200, but once in operation the cos
will DO comparatively small.

DEATH UNDER THE CARS.
CHARLES FREDERICKs KILLED BY
As.F. & w. FREIGHT TRAIN.

Confused by the Ringing of Bells, He
Within Four Feet of Him-5even Cars
Passed over His Body, and almost
Tore it to Pieces-A Verdict of Acct
dental Killing.
Charles Frederic1s, an elderly white man,
was run over and instantly killed by freight
train No. 200 of the Savannah, Florida and
Western railway. near the Anderson street
crossing, yesterday morning about 9
o'clock. The engine and seven cars passed
over his body, winch was horribly man
gled. His head was crushed into pulp, his
left leg cut off below the knee, one hand
mashed of and his side crushed in.
The accident was totally unavoidable on
the part Of the railroad, as Fredericks
stepped in front of the engine when it was
within four feet of him. The old man was
walking between the tracks as train No. q
was going out No. 2O9 was coming in at
the same time, and the bells Of both engines
were ringing.
STEPPED IN FRONT OF THE ENGINE.
II he had remained where he was he
would have been all right, but he was ev-
identity confused from the ringing of the
bells and stepped from between the tracks
20 the one on which No. 2U9 was moving
slowly along
Engineer Browne, who was in charge OF
the latter, promptly reversed his engine
and blew the whistle twice to attracts Fred
ericks' attention, but he didn't seem to re-
alize that the whistle was from behind him,
and continued to walk slowly along. 1t was
q matter of impossibility to bring the en-
CINE to stop in such a short distance and,
within minute the pilot struck Frederioks
and threw him under the wheels
SEVEN CARS PASSED OVER HIM.
The big locomotive and seven OF the
heavily loaded cars passed over him before
the train was brought to a standstill. Eugi
neer Browne ran back at once, and with tnE
assistance of the conductor aud some of the
train hands pulled the body from under the
cars. The sight was sickening. Blood wal
pouring In every direction from Fredericks
wounds, and the crossties and rail wert
covered and dyed red as were also th'
wheels of the engine and cars.
Coroner Dixon was at once notified and
went to the scene and took charge of the
remains. DR.. Charlton. the company
physician was also summoned, but hi
services were not required.
VERDICT OF ACCIDENTAL KILLING.
The testimony Of Engineer Browne, Fire
man Watts and colored man who saw the
accident was taken, and the jury rendered
verdict Of accidental killing.
Fredericks' body was turned over to I'm
dertaker Henderson, who prepared 1t fol-
burial and took it to the dead mans home
No. Floyd street, from where the funera
will take place this morning at 10 O'clock.
Fredericks had been a watchman at Hart
felder's mill for some time, and was on his
way there when he met his death. He leaves
a wife.

HORIZONS TALK IN JAIL.
They Are Taken From sardersville to
Macon for Safe KaaninR


Will and Fred Horton, the suspected
Central railroad bridge burners, have
been taken from SaudersviIls to Ma
con, and are in Jail there now It
was decided to place the men in the
Bib county Jail for safe keeping, there
having been made threats of rescue by
friends Of the Horizons.
They were interviewed in jail. Will Hor-
ton, when asked about the burning OF the
bridges said:
II am the worst surprised man on earth,
sir. and know no more about the burning of
those trestes than you do. o, they've only
taken US mp on suspicion and guess We'll
be all right after our commitment trial
takes place next week."
Where were you last SundayF' he was
asked.
Horton hesitated a while and then said:
why, | was at home moss Of the day
and my brother here was with me. |
know was at home in the morning and at
night and can prove it without trouble
did you go to Oconee or buy a ticket to
Oconeer
II did not, but we did go to Tennile. I
have not been to Oconee since Sept. !. 1t
Is all very wrong to lock us up for this be-
cause we know nothing Of the burning"
Had you ever made threats against the
rallroad or were you In any way DIS
pleasedF'
"Never ;" replied both men at once. 1--WE
have never made a threat, aud are as
friendly TO the railroad as any one. We
were not mad with the road about locking
up our brother, as is reported. and the
whole charge is unjust"
The two men reiterated the belief that
they would come clear next week.
The Horizons failed TO secure attorneys to
defend them as they anticipated.
Will Horton, the elder of the two BROTH
ers, is % years of age, wears a short beard
and is good looking. he hasn't bad face.
and talks well Fred Horton, the younger
brother, is just Of age, and in the CONVERSE
ton allowed his brother to do most of the
talking. He has a smooth face, rather
ruddy and light hair, and is by no means
bad looking fellow.
| The Horizons will remain in the Bibb Jail
until next week. when they will be carried
| back to Sandersville for trial.
