little earlier than was expected, but it has
been greater season than the railroad land
hotel people even thought it would be. For
Savannah it has been remarkably success
full season. The De Soto has been crowded
ever since the season opened, and more peo-

secured accommodations. With special
tourist rates from northern and eastern
points Savannah would be the great tourist

TIE CRBMATOR's BREAK.
The Furnace viii Start Up Again To
morrow.

The Furnace VIII Start Up Again To
morrow.
The cremator will be at work again to.
morrow. The stoppage was caused by the
expansion Of large iron plate, which had
been put in the chimney to strengthen it,
but which, under the intense heat, warped
and twisted, and would eventually have
loosened the brick work. This has been
taken out and the regular work will be
resumed.
The record of the two months work has
been very satisfactory, 500 cubic yards
OF garbage ha wing been burned.
This work has been made more difficult
by reason of the amount of sand, ashes and
tinware which is sent out with the garbage.
As the season advances and the bulk of
waste vegetable matter becomes greater,
the value of this rapid means of getting
rid Of this nuisance will become more ap-
parent and useful
Other cities are now falling into line in
adopting this process Of garbage cremation,
Richmond being the latest. An Engle
cremator was built last month for the gov
ernment at Mcpherson Barracks, Atlanta
and others Of the same size are to be placed
at other posts.
Col. Morse. manager of the Engle Com
pany's business in.ssthe south, left yesterday
for Richmond, where large cremator will
be constructed for the summer work.

EDMUNDS' BOTTLE.
Feared Disease and Took a Drop 70
His Health.

Feared Disease and Took a Drop for
His Health.
WASHINGTON, April 19.-From time to
time there has been a good deal written
about the private bottIe' which Senator
Edmunds has kept in his committee room.
A senator to-day. in talking about Mr. Ed
munds, told why the Vermonter always had
drop" within convenient distance:
''Mr. Edmunds," he said, "had an idea
when he was young man that he would
die of consumption. He imagined that his
lungs were weak, and any approach to a
cold throws him into a panic even to this
day. Considering that his daughter died
OF consumption his fear is not surprising
A great many doctors and others believe
that whisky, if freely consumed, will ward
off consumption, and it is as much for
medicinal reasons as any other that he has
drunk good deal OF the ardent in the
course Of his life.
Now that he finds it is his throat and
not his lungs thai are weak, and as whisky
is no specific for weak throat, he has deter
mined TO try what the balmy air of Aiken
will do for MIN.
'Mr Edmunds' medicine recalls the story
told by western Newspaper correspon-
dent. One day last session Mr.. Edmunds
appeared In the Senate looking very red in
the face. The newspaper man wrote a
story which was far from complimentary
to the Vermont senator. Some days after
that he had occasion to call upon Mr.
Edmunds in his committee room ia search
of information, and as he had not known
that the senator had seen the story, he
anticipated only pleasant reception. In
this he was not mistaken. The senator was
just as cordial any man could be. and
after q few minutes conversation he
opened bookcase and from a hidden recess
produced deoanter and couple of
glasses.
The decanter contained rye of the very
best quality. The senator and his caller sat
there for half an hour talking and samping
| the contents Of the decanter. At last, when
the newspaper man arose to depart, the
! senator SAID, still as pleasantly as ever:
Now that you have had a chance to
| Judge OF the quality of my whisky, what
do you think of thisp and he produced the
story which the correspondent had sent to
his paper couple Of weeks previously. The
newspaper man stammered and grew red.
Mr.. Edmunds seemed to enjoy his discom-
future, then he laughed pleasantly and said:
Well, never mind. Whenever you feel
! like writing another story of the same kind
| do 80, because it doesn't hurt me, and when
ever you feel as if you wanted some more
from that bottle just come in and ask
| for it.'n

make use of its old Isle Of Hope railway
track this summer for excursions and pic
MICS. The track was abandoned last summer

mediation of colored picnic, and also on

street, and cars were run on the new track
yesterday. A great deal Of the work from
Taylor to York streets has already been
done. Being unable to run the double track
through the squares in the northern portion
of the city, has caused considerable delay
IN the work, 1t being necessary to connect
the two tracks at every square

the crowds attending the Pompeiian exhi-
bition all the accommodation possible All
the cars that can be used will be pressed
into service. AS the daily schedules of the

banked up on Anderson and Second streets,
and also on Whitaker and West Broad
streets This will take off good portion

many designs are three particularly hand

play. Amesbury is the home of fine vehi-

CROWDSIN SPRING DRESS
THE GOLD SPELL PAST AND GEN
TIE WEATHER HERE.


The Season e Little Late But :t Gets
Here-The Streets Gay with People
and Everybody Happy-rhe Park
Thronged and Crowds Go to the he
sorts-The Tybee Season Opening.
Yesterday was regular spring day; in
fact, almost a summer day. The bright,
warm weather brought out in full effect the
changes Of spring, with the green trees and
the flowers.
Changes in Sunday attire were very
noticeable, and spring suits and spring
dresses were seen on every hand, and the
straw hat rivaed the derby. Church SER
vices in the morning and afternoon were
well attended.
The park was the grand gathering place
for the crowds in the afternoon, aud hand.
some, well-dressed crowds they were, too. IL
looked as if everybody one knew, and most
of those one didn't know, had come out for
an airing. All the benches were filed, and
there was one continuous line Of prone
naders from the Bull street entrance clear
out through the park extension to New
Houston street.
All the people did not go to the park,
however. Riding on the street cars seemed
to be the favorite amusement with large
ronized, especially the new cars Seven
teen cars were running on the Belt Line,
including the lines on Barnard and Indian
streets. and almost every car was crowded,
especially in the afternoon, when
it was difficult to secure seating
room. Most of the motor
cars were run with tow cars attached. 1t
was a sight TO see the big open summer car
with an open tow car attached pass by with
about hundred passengers on each car.
Crowds went out to Thunderbolt and the
other suburban resorts. About 800 people,
the largest crowd of the season so far, went
down to Tybee A number INDUCED in
bathing, some ladies among the number.
The usual Sunday schedule of three trains
each way was run by the Savannah and
Atlantic railway. This schedule will be
continued during this week. Next Sunday
five trains each way will be put on, as fol-
lows: Leave Savannah $50 a. m, p. m,
2:30 p. m, p. m, 6:15 p. m. Leave
Tybee 6 a. m, 12:Ol p. M, 225 D. m,
will be continued daily TO May 10,
when three additional trains each way will
be put on and the Tybee season. with its
big excursions, will be fully opened. A
schedule Of fotty-fve minutes, instead of
one hour. will be run. On Tybee day of
Merchants week an hourly schedule, from
$50 O'Clock in the morning to 1925 o'clock
at night, will be run.
The Tybee season is opening up. Gra-
hams Ocean house will open this week.
Lanes and Wortham's are already open,
and Toshech's will open in day or two
The Hotel Tybee will probably open Tybee
day, but will not be open for the season be,
fore May Is.
1t may be taken for granted that spring
is here and summer fast approaching, and
that there IS no more cold weather in stock
for this season. Spring was a little back
ward, and the record shows it to have been
somewhat cooler than last year, but moth
ing unusual.

THE STATE FARM DOING WELL.
The Crops Generally in a Flourlshing
Condition

SOANAAblCl-
Maj. Ryals has just returned from an in
spectton of the state experimental farm,
and reports everything there in flourish
ing condition. The horticultural depart
nent is in fine shape, aud the agricultural
department is also showing up we'll The
cold and wet weather somewhat retarded
things, but withal the crops are in excellent
condition.
Maj. Ryals said that from personal
observation and from authentic informa-
ton CLEANED by him, the late cold snap has
destroyed at least two-thirds of the beach
crop OF the state, aud as natural result the
fruit will be scarce this year. In many in
stances the trees did not show any effects of
the frost for several days, but then the
fruit began to drop off in great quantities.
Potatoes were not injured to any apprs-
clable extent, but pease, cucumbers and
other like articles suffered considerably.
The country in the immediate vicinity of
savannah was unusually fortunate, the
fruit and truck scarcely being mi ured.
Maj. Ryals does not anticipate any more
frost, and he thinks the yield of farm
products in this vicinity will be very large,
particularly the potato crop. which is in ex-
cellent condition. Shipments of cabbage
nave already been made in small quantities.
and potatoes will begin to move forward
in about three weeks
Many improvements are being made at
the experimental station in the matter of
building houses for the storing OF produce
and for laborers. and Maj. Ryals thinks the
state farm will prove great benefit to the
agricultural class generally.
