WOULD 1T TAKEp
A Suggestion that an Exposition Take
the Place of May Week.

A Suggestion that an Exposition Take
the Place of May Week.
"Why don't Savannah have fall or win
ter fair or exposition instead of Nay week
celehratIonr was the query put to MORN
ING NEWS reporter by prominent business
man few days ago.
IF other Georgia cities cau make a sue
cess Of such events there is no reason why
Savannah couldn't. May week is
not the proper time for n
display, because then business is
taking on the usual summer dulluess, and
the weather is too hot. To properly sho W
of the advantages of Savannah a celebra-
tion should be held during the busy season.
People who remain away during May week
because of the weather would come
at such a time. and as q matter
of course more money would be left
in the city. Let Savannah once make q
swap of May week festivities for a fall OF
winter fair, or exposition, and l predict il
will be SO advantageous as to cause a per-
manent yearly celebration"
Several well-known merchants were
sounded on the question, aud general feel
ing seemed to favor a fall or winter cele
bration in preference to May week.

10 Pr INVITED TO AUGUSTA.
A Committee Here to Ask the SaVsn'
rab Military to the Exposition.


Jules Rival. secretary Of the Augusta eK-
nosition: James L. Cow of the Augusta
E,,eniu1 Netcs, P. NJ Mulherin and Capt.
u Rice arrived in the city yesterday as
a con, n1ittae TO invite the Savannah mill
tarv 70 take part in the military features Of
the exposition Nov. ;, and :. 1hey VIII
be reinforced to-day by hon. Patrick
Walsh, president of the exposition, and
| Can't. a. F. Austin. chairman OF the mill
! tary committee.
A general meeting of the officers of the
! First regiment. the Guards battalion. Chat
ham Artillery and Georgia Hussars will be
held at the regimeuJal armory tonight,
and the exposition committee VIII be pres
ent to officially tender the invitation TO
Savannshis soldiery. Col. Reilly, Mai. Mel
drim and other officers were waited upon
Yesterday, and all expressed themselves as
favorable TO the trip.
Besides the grand parade, there will be
competitive drill, and the committee hopes
to have the Savannah Cadets enter this con-
test. The judges will be Maj. John Il.
Butler, U. s. A. Capt. C. Chase, U. S. A,
and Lieut.. G. b. Satterlee.
ave are striving to have one Of the
grandest military displays ever seen in
Georgia said Mr.. Cow, land we depend
upon Savannah to furnish us the largest
number of soldiers. No one can deny that
she stands par excellence among the cities
of Georgia from a military standpoint
Her soldiery are credit to the state, and
we hope 70 have them at thecoming expo
ston. Savanuah's soldiers were the center
of attraction at the last exposition, and If
they will accept the invitation to this one
they will be more than the center of attrac-
ton. The part they played in preserv-
ing order in this city during
the labor troubles are known far aud wide,
and they cannot get sufficient praise.
Augusta and Savannah are naturally SIS
ters. aud we are depending upol the Forest
City to aid u.s. We feel satisfied that we
won't be disappointed.
The members of the military organIza-
tons Of this city have been talking of the
Augusta exposition for some time, and all
they have been waiting for is an invitation
TO attend. They remember with feelings of
pleasure how royalty they were treated
three years ago, and are anxious to repeat
the experience. There is no doubt but the
Invitation will be promptly accepted, and
the commands will go up with full ranks.
The employers of the military men will
hardly refuse to give them few dlys' va
cation to attend the exposition in considera-
ton of their services in the past, in preServ-
ing good order and protecting business
during what once threatened to be trouo-
lous times.
It has also been suggested that 1t would
be in good grace for the Central TO furnish
the soldiers with free transportation to and
from the exposition in recognition OF their
! willingness to have rendered all necessary
protection to its property during the mis-
understanding with the laborers had an
| oceasiOn arisen.

AARON BURR's AUTOGRAPH.
A Relic in the Old Cannon Point Hous

A Relic in the Old Cannon Point Hous @
on st. 5imon's Island.
A correspondent of the MORNING NEWS
who recently visited st. Simon's Island
made trip to the old Cannon Point house
at the upper end of the island.
The Cannon Point house was owned and
occupied by Alexander Hamilton in the
early part of the present century. 1t is an
old tabby building, and must have been a
very handsome one in its day.
The rooms are twenty-four feet
square with sixteen-foot ceiling.
1t is said that it was at this house where the
ill-feeling between Hamilton ard Aaron
Burr, which ended in the celebrated duel re-
sulting in Hamilton's death, was first gener-
a:ed Burr was Hamiltons guest at the time.
He wrote his name and the date upon a
pane Of glass in a window Of the front par
lor Of the house, probably with diamond
ring, aud the name remains to-day as when
il was written
Aaron Burr, Feb. Z. 1904. "
The old house is untenanted and has fallen
into decay

Views of the Missionaries.
E,.onn Hn,,nsn.,s WeeL.Ia, fLn1N

1t seems TO be generally agreed that the cleo
ton to Mr. Crisp as speaker OF the House meant
something more than personal preference In
speaking of the speakership we said before the
meeting of congress, that tranquil tempera-
ment and judicial disposition were among the
most essential qualifications for the Office The
reported feeling Of Mr.. Mills since his defeat
shows, apparently, that in this respect Mr.
Crisp was preferable. But the frienos OF tariff
reform, who feel that 1t is a question which
should take precedence of all public issues were
undoubtedly greatly disappointed by Mr..
Crisp's election. They soon began to re-
mark, however, that he was sound
upon the great question, and that too much
stress must not be laid upon the election, as
significant Of party disincllnation to the tariff
reform issue and to Mr., Cleveland as the candi-
date next year. This kind OF whistling, how
ever, does not change the situation. There is
no doubt that In this part of the country the re-
suit of the contest for the speakership was an
extremely disagreeable shock TO the friends of
Mr.. Cleveland. 1t has been the general con
viction that tariff reform as expounded by Mr.
Mills would be certainly the democratic policy
and Mr.. Cleveland unquestionebly the demo
cratic candidate next year and the result, upon
a test made by the particular friends OF both
seemed for moment to be at least discour-
aging.

Careless Rich Men.

1t is not a matter of wonder that among
the tens Of thousands of shoppers during
the holiday season in great city like New
York there are some who are careless and
lose articles they have purchased, but it is
rather remarkable that any shopper should
be so absent-minded or negligent as to lose
articles Of any great valne. AS a rule the
articles that are lost are of small value and
the losses do not attract public attention.
But last week in New Y ork two we'll known
men lost packages of such large value that
they asked aid from the police 10 recover
their property, and, consequently, all the
circumstances connected with their losses
got into the newspapers.
Wednesday Judge Dugro of the superior
court, who has the reputation of having a
phenomenal memory, bought a diamond
necklace for his wife for which he paid 81, 400.
He rode home in a cab and was so forgetful
Of the necklace as to leave it on the seat of
the cab. He recovered it. however, through
the aid of the detectives.
On the same day Ogden Mills, a million
aire, bought $1,000 worth of jewels which
he intended for Christmas gifts. With
other packages he placed them on the seat of
the cab in which he rode home. - On exam
lining the packages az home he discovered
that the jewels were missing.
He does not know whether they
we're lost or stolen. He believes they were
stolen. He left them in the cab while he
went into his club on bis way home. He
has not found them yet, nor has he dis
covered the cabman.
II Mr.. Mills and Judge Dugro had less
money they would be much more careful of
the packages they collect on their shopping
tours. But even millionaires cannot lose
articles worth thousands of dollars with
feelings of unconcern. Mr.. Mills and Judge
Dugro are probably thinking that they
must either adopt some method for strength.
ening their memories or intrust the pur-
chasing of Christmas gifts to other members
Of their families.
