half circle, all OF which arectations are closely

majestic way she carries herself may be in
ferred from the fact that she can dance all

and her collection from India, Persia, China
and Japan is both valuable and choice.

" A woman can do more with hairpin than a
man can do with any one instrument In exist

crimp her hair, TO fasten her hat on, TO button
her gloves and the waist buttons OF her dress,
and TO pin her veil. She can use 1t as paper

draw device upon q seal. II she twists the

or key-ring. II Is very decent bodktn. In
an emergency 1t is as good as an ordinary pin I;
better, in fact, for It can be made TO do double

Officers r. W. Baughn and S. M. Davis
are charged with brutal treatment of two
prisoners, John Burke and Charles Hilbert,
whom they arrested last night for fighting
on Bryan street. The charges against the
officers were preferred by DIR. b. r. Shelf
tan, p Tuberdy, T. A. Seyboth, j. J.
Murphy and Patrick Ryan, all Of whom
came to the MORNING News office and told
their side Of the story.
They said they were standing on
Broughton street, between Bull and
Whitaker. when Officer Baughn passed
with the two prisoners, who appeared TO be
going along quietly. Officer Davis was
talking TO them, but, it Is said, he imme-
diately joined Officer Baughn and began
clubbing the prisoners over their
Officer Bauehn also began clubbin su
When the prisoners wore on the ground the
MoRNINGs NEWS informants claim the
officers continued to beat them, cursing
them, and saying "get up and let us knock
you do wn again" The spectators consid-
cred the clubbing so uncalled for that they
Immediately went to the barracks and pre-
ferred charges against the officers.
Officers Baughn and Davis were seen by a
MORNING NEWS reporter. They denied they
used more than was necessary in handling
their prisoners. Officer Baughn arrested
both men on Bryan street for fighting and
creating an excitement. They Joined issues
at once, the officer said, and began resisting
him. He was compelled TO use force. and
finally they agreed to 60 along peacelbly.
On reaching Broughton street the prisoners
again began resisting and then Officer Davis
went to his assistance. Hilbert was clincn-
ing him, and Officer Davis ordered him to
loosen his hold. He refused, and then the
officer struck him on the head and knocked
him down. Burke grabbed for Officer
Davis, VINO caught him by the back of the
neck and tripped him, his head striking on
the pavement, cutting the scalp slightly.
When Officer Baughn stopped TO pick
Hilbert up he says the man jumped TO his
feet and savagely bit him In the throat
and the officer showed the reporter q cut in
his throat, nearly an inch long, OF ragged
appearance, to prove his statement Then
it was that lie used his club freely on his
prisoners head to protect himself. Officer
Baughn also has a cut on mis- nose, which
he said was inflicted by Hilbert on Bryan
street
Neither of the prisoners are badly hurt.
They are charged with fighting on the
street and resisting officers.

MUST RUN SLOWER.

Alderman Carson Urges the ReGula-
ton of Street Car Speed.
Alderman Carson is after the Belt Line
about the speed which its cars are run
north of Liberty street. He intends that
the speed shall be kept within the limit of
six miles an hour, which is specifically
provided in the ordinance granting the
road rights Of way through the streets.
Alderman Cars n mas been timing the
cars along Bay street for several days, and
at no time has the speed been much below
seven miles On hour and often much higher.
After the council meeting yesterday he
timed car between Bull and Whitaker
streets, a distance of 300 feet. The distance
was Travelled in twenty six seconds, which
calculated by the mile means over seven
miles an hour.
Alderman Carson considers the running
OF the electric cars at such rate along a
busy thoroughfare like Bay street rather
dangerous thing, and he wants it stopned
before IL results in q serious accident. Tho
matter will probably be brought up at this
afternoons session OF council

To Fight the Western Beef Combine
and to Advance Their Interests.
A meeting of butchers was held at
Knights of Pythiss ball last night to organ
ize the Butchers Protective Association.
A temporary organization was effected,
with C. A. Fleming, chairman; J. J. Joyce,
treasurer, and H. Cohen, secretary, and the
following butchers were enrolled as mem
bers:
James ]. Joyce, Mitchell & Evans, John
Gill, Cordray Bros, j. H. II. Entelman, j.
II. Brittle, John A. Lutz, W. f. Randam,
L. j. Hodges, Cohen Bros, Henry Hirsch,
w. NJ Hubbard, C. A. Fleming, E. r. Her
nandez q Co, A. McCredmond, j. E. San
diford, P. McMurraY c. Debele. S. Gard
ner, Griffin q Hurst
A committee on bylaws was appointed,
to report TO called meeting next week.
The object of the organization is TO induce
competition TO the combine between Nelson,
Morris & Co. and the Armour company,
the two companies which practically con-
troll the western meat business in Savau-
nah, and to adopt protective measures in
the interests of the local butchers.
A majority of the white butchers are in
the movement and strong effort is being
made to make it general.
The promoters Of the organization say it
ls in the interest of consumers as we'll as
butchers, and that there will be no advance
on tho price of meat by reason of the organi-
zstion. 1t will tend rather to reduce the price.
About one-half of che beef consumed in
Savannah now is home beef, but In the fall
and winter months the supply of western
beef is greater, and fully three.fourths of
the beef sold in Savannah 10 western beef.
By combination the butchers hope to Sc
cure better terms from the packing COM
pauies.

TALKS WITH PIANO BUYERS.


No. z.
Until the year 1882 the house Of Ns.o.
| & Hamlin had been known simply az re
greatest in the realm OF organ buiJdino
The Mason q Hamlin read organ being t5e
criterion of excellence the world over S
the time named. they decided to 20 into the
making of pianos, and with characterist;c
enterprise and Judgment produced AZ
once what has been demonstrated to be fhs
greatest Improvement in the piano fort
since the invention OF the iron frame.
This great feature is the entire and radi-
cal change in the method of stringinp ths,
Is, OF fastening the wires to the frame Of
the piano. VI
The old system. which is the one in gan
eral use, consisted of an Iron peg driven int
wooden block or wrest plank. the viz
being twisted around the peg or pin. which
is turned back and forth in the wood IN in
crease or decrease the tension of the strin0
thus raising CT lowering the tone. In sniIe
OF the most skillful construction this hos
never been an entirely satisfactory method
or stringlng, and nine. tenths of the annnv
ance caused by the failure to stand in tn3s
and exasperatiug breaking of strings are
owing to tho faults of this manner of fast
ening the wires
Like go macy great inventions, the Mason
q Hamliu striDger is so simple as to excite
wonder at its not having been sooner dis
COFeteo: " 10 slmplo screw device bv
which the string is fastened directIu TO ~
iron frame By this means the i1l,nenss
strain of the wires is placed where it 9,ron.
erty belongs, upon the only part of the in-
strument which can successfully resist rho
tension. The consequence is that the Mason
a Hamlin piano stands in tune perfectIv
for great length of time, and broka1
strings are almost unknown.
The makers of this instrument were no.
content with tho introduction of a mar
mechanical improvement, however import~
ant. They Immediately set about proiuc.
ing an instrument that should be of the
highest musical excellence, and so we'll have
they succeeded that dny maker in f5s
toortd might be proud of their present
pianos. ''''
Within the past few weeks four NJ. SH
grands and ten uprights have been SOLD To
the Chicago Conservatory of Music, one of
the leading music schools Of the world. and
they are constantly growing in favor with
the musical public. Il will be remembered
that William H. Sherwood used the Mason
d Hamlin on his last winters tour through
the south. -.-.... ......... ...
