FORTY HOURS DEVOTION.

The Yearly Exposition OF the Sacra-
ments Begins Tomorrow.
The forty hours devotion will begin in
St. Patrick's church tomorrow at the 80
o'clock mass. All the sodalities will take
part in the procession through the church
with which the forty hours' devotion is
always inaugurated At night there will
be vespers and benedction at 1880 o'clock.
Monday and Tuesday nights benediction
VIII also be celebrated, together with the
recitation of the rosary a1d appropriate
prayers. A special musical programme has
been arranged for to-morrow's mass.
The first Introduction of this devotion
was due, as far as can be ascertaiued, to Fa
Their Joseph, a Capuchin of Milan, who died
IN 1856. He arranged the forty hours ex-
position OF tie sacrament in honor of the
time our Lord spent in the tomb. In 1859
Plus ~. approved the custom of an associ-
alton called the Contraternity of Prayer or
OF Death. 1t exposed the host for forty
hours every month. In 1892 Clement VIII.
provided for the public and perpetual adora-
tion of the blessed sacrament exposed on the
affairs OF the different churches of Rome.
The forty hours in one church succeeded to
those In another, SO that the sacrament was
always exposed in some church the year
round.
Earlier than this. In 1856, the Jes1its in
Macerata exposed the host for forty hours
TO meet the danger Of disorders prevalent at
that time, and st. Charles adopted this de-
votion for carnival with great zeal At
present the forty hours prayer is observed
successfully by all Roman Catholic parishes

MONEY FOR raE SOLDIERS.
Distribution OF the Federal Appropria-
ton Among the State Forces.

Distribution OF the Federal Appropria-
ton Among the State Forces.
The distribution Of the annual appropria-
ton by tho federal government for the main
tenanceof the state militia is a matter Of
g good deal OF interest TO the soldiery.
The following extract from the annual re-
port Of the Secretary Of War for the year
1891, relative to the organized militia of the
several states and the congressional appro-
priation viii be OF no small interest TO the
volunteers of this state:
The present method of allotment OF the an
nual Appropriation OF SfOoOOO for arming and
equippng the militia. which is prescribed BY the
act of Fec. H. 1887 (2i stats, 41il, and which
gives 70 each state an amount proportionate to
It's congressional representation. Is not such as
70 produce the best results. The aid given
different states is very disproportionate.
The amount OF government aid received
BY some states is not more than BALI that
number Of men in their national guard There
is no inducemsnt for the maintenance of
greater mum Der OF militia than Is actually re-
CURED BY the law. but rather the reverse. II
economy be consulted
The allotment as now made is not based upon
what the states do IN return for the apprOpria-
ton- but what they ought 70 do. IL would be
better 70 help those who help themselves II
the appropriation, or even half of it, was dis
triouted upon the basis OF the effective force of
the national guard maintained by the several
states. II would 0etIer accomplish Its purpose or
encouraging that organization. By the de
tall OF officers and troops to the
various annual encampments throughout the
country, the war department has rendered the
national guard OF the several states such assist
ance as was IN its power. The association Of
this force, necessarily the main dependence of
the country in any great war, with the regular
army is Of great advantage to both orgauiza-
tons In this and every other way possible the
federal government should cooperate with the
states In the maintenance and education Of
the national guard.
Georgia receives as her share Of the $780,
900, ST. 57 l6, on the basis Of representa-
ton In congress Of 10; Virginia receives,

TAXES BEING PAID Up.

An Increase in Poll Receipts as Re-
suit of Political Work.
Tax Collector McGowan reports that the
payment OF state aud county taxes has been
lively for the past few days. The books
will close about Dec. Is, and it would be
well for those who have not yet settled
their tax accounts to do so at once and not
wait until the last days. If people realized
what tremendous amount of labor they
throw in a short space Of time upon the tax
collector and his assistants by waiting until
the books are about 20 be closed they would
probably be little more prompt.
The payment Of poll tax has increased
considerably this year. particularly amoog
the colored citizens. Many of them hereto
fore paid but little attention about qualify
ing themselves to vote, but the quiet work
OF the republican county committee is show
ing its effects every day.
Specific taxes for liquor dealers will be
800 next year, in accordance with the re-
cent law enacted by the legislature. The
books will open for these taxes Jan. 1.

Eighty Miles - The Men Who Are
Back OF the Movement.
All railroad enterprises lead to Savannah
these days. There is hardly a railroad pro-

not contemplate Savannah as one Of its
termini. or at least expects to make close
connections with this point The
latest addition to the railroad enter

the Savannah. Jacksonville and Gulf rail-
ROAD to build a line from Savannah to
Tampa which has fled its application for a
charter with the secretary OF state of Flor
ida The capital stock Of the company is
SS,OO0,000. The road is projected on very
nearly an air line, and the distance between
Savannah and Tampa is estimated at 32U
miles This would shorten the present dis
taEcs by rail about eighty miles. The line
is projected through the counties Of Chat
ham, Bryan, Liberty. Mcintosh, Glynn and
Camden in Georgia, and Nassau, Duval,
Clay, Putnam. Marion, Sumter. Citrus, Her
nando, Pasco and Hillsborough in Florida.
The projectors and directors in the new en-
terprise are Gustave Thwillies OF Paris,
France. Samuel r. Pyles of Atlanta, John
q. Bishop of Clear Water Harbor, and
Herbert A. Bishop Of Jacksonville. Mr..
Thwilies is manager Of the French syndi-
cate which is operating one Of the largest
phosphate plants In Florida The other
directors are also interested in phosphate
to a large extent. The new COM
pany is also Florida enter
prise, and nothing is known
OF it in Savannah. Inquiry among railroad
men here failed to discover anything con-
corning it. The Savannah, Florida and
Western officials say they do not know any
thing about it or its projectors.
