PULASKI MILLS WILL CLOSE.
Probable Report of the Committee {
the Etockhol6ers.

Probable Report of the Committee of
the Stockholders.
The committee appointed by the stock
holders of the Pulaski knitting mills to see
whether they could devise any means where
by the company could continue to run the
mills on profit have not yet made a report,
but it is learned that it will report adversely
on the continuance of the enterprise.
1t will be remembered that the mills were
closed down some time ago owing to the
fact that no money was being made. This
deploI able circumstance was attributed to
bad management and the fact that skilled
labor could not be had.
The committee appointed by the stock
holders was empowered to look into the
management of the mills and see what was
needed AMI suggest some remedy. The
committee has been unable TO see
it's way out of the woods"
so far as reported, and it is probable that
the mills will shut down indefinitely. What
financial arrangements will be made is yet
undecided.
The stockholders generally express regret
that the mills will have to close down aud
that no arrangements can be made in the
immediate future for their continuance.
Skilled labor can be obtained from the
north, but there are circumstances that will
prevent its employment. 1t will be greatly
regretted all around that the mills viii
cease work. 1t was hoped that something
could be done to keep them running. 1t was
one of the industries that Savannah counted
on, and that it failed will be a blow to the
manufacturing interests of the city.

The Georgia Hussars and the Wash.
ington Trp.
There is no longer any doubt about Sa-
vannah being represented at Cleveland's
inaugural. The Georgia Hussars, as was
announced yesterday, have determined to
go, and later developments make this de-
termination certain.
At the meeting of the committees ap-
pointed by Capt Beirne Gordon last night
the situation was fully discussed, but the
only action taken was the appointment OF
a committee TO look after transportation.
The committee consists of Messrs. Estill,
Ryals and Ballantyne.
The committee appointed to solicit SUBJ
scriptions for detraying the expenses went
on their rounds yesterday and the result
was gratifying to the members Of the COM
pany. Should every one interested sub
scribe as literally there can be no doubt
about the success of the trip of the troop.
1t should be stated that the Hussars will
go anyway. They think that the citizens
of Savannah should help them out in repre-.
ssnting Georgia aud the city, and therefore
they have called for aid. 1t Is the first
company that has determined to 90, and
though others may finally join the process
sion, the Hussars must be given the first
place in the ranks.

TIE FLOWER SHOW CLOSED.

The Chrysapthemums to Be Sold or
Rented To-day.
The chrysanthemum show closed last
night The hall will be open, however, this
morning forlthe sale Of flowers and refresh
ments
The chrysanthemums on exhibition will
be sold, cut in punches, or the plants will be
rented for a certain length of time to be re-
turned to the proprietor, Mr.. Oelsehig
The crowd last night was the largest of
any night OF the show. 1t was q very appre-
ciative crowd too, and thoroughly enjoyed
the exhibition. A good many flowers were
sold and a number of plants we're rented.
The feature Of the evening was the chrys-
anthemum dance by nine little girls.
The little girls who took part were Stella
Gallagher, Viva Sullivan, May Kennedy,
Stella Kennedy, Lottie Purdy, Florrle
Banks. Philly Gsssnan, May Hogan, and
Annie Kehoe.
The little ones acquitted themselves
splendidly.
THE Spoony Blacksmith" very enter
tanning little comedy, was rendered by Mr..
and Mrs. Berkely. The play was very much
enjoyed by the audience.
Miss Howard sang Garden All So Fair. I"
and Mrs. Finnie sang two songs very
sweetly.
Among the flowers to be sold this morn
ing there are some lovely ferns, donated by
Wagner. Cut flowers were also contrib
uted by Wagner during the exhibition.
A card of thanks will be published to-
morrow morning by the commistee in
charge, giving the names Of all who made
donations.
While the show has not been as great a
success as was desired, still there was H
small profit made which will be dlvid ed
between the Episcopal Orphans Home and
the st. Mary's Homo.
1t was strange that such fine exhibition
OF chrysanthemums was given 50 little notice
| by the general public.
Mr.. Oelschig who furnished the exhibi-
| ton intends having another ohrysanthemum
exhibition next year. and with this view
will make special effort to develop O large
number of the most priced varieties. The

A number of southern Gamers will meet
in this city next Tuesday morning to per-

ners association. Owing to the loca-
tion Of Savannah and the inability TO secure
reduced rates, the actual attendance will be
small. Those present, though, will have
numerous proxies, and the new organiza-

fifty members. Its object will be TO advance
the interests of southern Gamers generally.
A meeting will be called at a more central
point some time next spring, when a large
attendance Is promised. Numerous letters
have been received by Mr.. Thomas Gam

who is acting as temporary secretary, from
Gamers of Georgia, Florida, South Carolina,

ested in the movement aud desire 60 be en-

THE TRAMP AND his CHICKEN.
How He Catches 1t and Cooks 1t With
Much Skill and Little Labor.
From the Ne,c York World.

From the Ne,0 York World,
The tramp has an ingenious way of OBJ
tanning a chicken. He must avoid all noise.
The slightest caokling on the part of the
bird would be fatal to his dinner.
He proceeds to get stick about 10 feet
long, TO the end of which he binds a cross
piece, making q rude perch. Then, station
ing himself under a tree In which the chick
ems are roosting, he picks out his particular
bird and gently brings his perch up IN front
of her.
II the fowl does not step on at once he
rubs his perch gently up and down against
her breast until she finally steps on and
promptly goes TO sleep again. The tramp
shoulders the stick and marches up the
road out of hearing distance of the house.
now many people, after a raid on their
hen roost by the tramp in the dead of night
stop to think how he cooked his chicken?
Ii they give the matter a thought at all,
they suppose he will start q small fire aud
broll it. But he will do nothing Of the
kind. In fact, it would be impossible for
him to do so without removing the feathers,
and as that would require little labor, of
course it would not be attempted.
His kitchen utensils consist generally OF a
broken knife and a tin cup. With his knife
he will kill and clean the chicken in very
much the same way any housewife would,
except that he will make the opening in the
breast much smaller. His seat of operations
will be on the bank of some little brook,
where he will build fire. Then comes the
part which be thoroughly dislikes, for he
must work. He makes a very thin paste of
clay and water, and. taking a handful, COM
mences to rub it well over the chicken,
feathers and all.
After this is well worked in be takes an
other handful Of a little thicker pas and
rubs 1t over the first layer 80 he continues,
each layer being about an eighth of an inch
thick, until he has coating of two or three
inches all over the bird, and it resembles a
huge mud ball. Then he heaves a Sigh of
relief for his labor is completed
Nothing further is necessary but to put
the mud ball" in the fire, and in about
twenty minutes it is transformed into a
savory meal. W hen the chicken is done
the clay is baked like brick. After crack
ing 1t it peels off. carrying with it the
feathers and skin, leaving the chicken
smoking and white, a delicious morsel.

Ala, who is stopping at the fremont.
Simpson isn't farmer. nor a horticult-
urist. nor yet a CRATER He works in a
small foundry in our town and is a core
maker by trade. That fellow is ALWAYS
scheming around with one thing and an-
other trying to invent something. was
looking over his garden fence one day last
spring while Simpson was planting potatoes.
and he came up to where 1 was standing,
holding potato in his hand
"'See this potato ne said.
81 SAID, yes
"'Well, said he, I'm going to get pea
and force it into the heart of a potato.
Then we will watch and see how it comes
up
He took a pea out of his pocket, pushed
a hole into the potato with his lead pencil
and then pushed the pea into the center
Then he took the potato to the center of the
garden and planted IT, For months visited
that garden daily and watched the growth
of that 'pea-tato.' 10 came up a most
remarkable plant. | can hardly describe it
TO you. 1t was commingling of the two
with the potato dominating the pea The
potato plant looked like a sweet potato
vine and ran along the ground, throwing
out shoots that took root. The flowers
or the plant was not the ordinary
creamy yellow one of the potato.
1t was mixture Of the same shape as the
daisy, with white, yellow and pink petals of
a very pale hue. The fruit of the plant
was much like the ordinary potato, only it
was much smaller, with a skin of a cream
color. 1t did not taste much different from
the ordinary potato, although there was
Just a smack of pea soup about it. The
plant flourished we'll enough and it did not
require much care. Simpson says that next
year he will plant several rows in that
manner, as be seems to prefer the new kind
to the old. l rather think that the new
plant is good one, although some other
vegetable might do better"

Catarrh, Not Local, But Constitutional
DR.. Dio Lewis, the eminent Boston physi-
clan, in a magazine article says: "A radi-
cal error underlies nearly all medical treat
ulent Of catarrh. 1t is not a disease of the
mans nose; it is a disease of the mau, show
ing itself in the nose-a Local exhibition of
q Constitutional trouble" Therefore, he
argues, the use of snuff and other local ap-
plcations is wrong, and while they seem to
give temporary relief, they really do more
harm than good. Other leading authorities
agree with DR.. Lewis. Hence, the only
proper method of cure for catarrh is by
taking a constitutional remedy like Hoods
Sarsaparilla, which, reaching every part Of
the body through the blood, does eliminate
all impurities and makes the whole man
healthier. 1t removes the cause of the
trouble and restores the diseased membrane
to proper condition. That this is the prac-
tioal result is proven by thousands of people
who have been cured Of catarrh by taking
Hoods Sarsaparilla.-G
