oPPosRD TO SAILOR LABoR.

The Naval Storage Union VIII Not
Agree to 1t After April l.
The Naval Storage Union, labor organ
ization of the oolored handlers of rosin and
turpentine along shore, has taken a step
which may lead to a little trouble For
some time captains Of vessels in hurry to
load and unload their cargoes have pressed
their sailors into service. In such cases the
seamen have been allowed little extra
compensation for such labor.
The Naval Storage Union, however, now
objects to what it considers an encroach-
ment on its rights and privileges, and has
decided not TO allow sailors to handle naval
stores at the wharves under any circum-
stances after April l. Notice to that effect
was published in yesterdays MORNING
NEWS.
Oftentimes IN q rush the necessary
amount Of colored labor cannot be secured
at once and the sailors prove useful under
such circumstances, but il the captains and
shippers abide by the fat Of the union thew
will have TO send runners out to find the
labor required.
This will hardly be agreed to, as II
might sometimes involve serious delay, and
il the Naval Storage Union endeavors to
enforce Its new rule strike may result
Handlers Of naval stores are paid at the
rate of Is, 20 and % cents an hour

The meeting is perhaps the most impor>
tant one that will be held, as it is called for
the purpose of mapping out plan and as
signing committees TO the various parts of
the work and also to effect a general or
ganization of COMMITTEES on the various
features to be taken up.
The committee on programme will be ex-
pscted 10 get to work Immediately and will
be instructed to report at a meeting not

taken new interest in May week, and the
several suggestions advanced by the MORN
ING News have everywhere met with favor
May week is now, without doubt, a 20, and
with the new life infused into the associ-
elton it promises to be as much OF a success
as any previous celebration has been Bus
mess men are expected to lend their aid
aud by their presence at meetings show
their cooperation in the enterprise.

GROUND RENT FOR POLES.

The Matter May Take Shape at the
Next Council Meeting.
Mayor McDonough will probably look
into the matter of the clty's right to tax
telegraph telephone electric light and other
poles during this week, and if Savannah
he's the same right which st. Louis claims,
which was recently upheld by the United
states supreme court and there is now no
reason to believes he has not the matter will
likely be brought to the attention of the
city council at Its next meeting.
II the pole tax is levied it means a big
revenue 70 the city and benefit to the gem
ersl taxpayer. The article on the subject
in the MORNING News last Saturday has
been widely discussed and meets with gem
eral favor among the burdened taxpayers.
Ihey think the opportunity for the reducing
OF the tax rate has presented itself in the
pole question and see no reason why Savan-
nah should not follow ST. Louis, Kansas
City, Baltimore and other cities which
are getting under the decision
Of the United States supreme court. IL is
estimated that there are between 1000 and
5000 poles in Savannah, and a tax of even
50 for each pole per year would bring in a
very neat sum to the city treasury.
In the meantime Mavor McDonough Is
prosecute ting his movement toward compell-
ing the placing underground of all wires,
which, OF course, would do away with the
necessity Of poles altogether, but at the
earliest 10 Will be couple Of years before
THIS idea eau be carried into execution, and
the city has chance during that period of
securing considerable revenue by the ground
rental plan for poles

ALMOST A ROW.

An Effort TO Shut Out the Minority of
Pastor Loves Congregation Fails.
There came near being general row at
the First African Baptist church last night
just az services we're abous to begin.
1t seems that the differences between
Pastor Love and his congregation, an &C.
count of which has been given in the
MORNING News, we're TO come up, and the
deacOns shut the church doors before z
o'clock TO keep out the minority, or in other
words, the anti-Pastor Love crowd The
crowd, both minority and majority, as
ssmbled around the church doors before
services. and loud words and abusive
language began to fy thick
and fast. It looked for time as if the row
were going to be general, but the presence
OF the police in the vlcialty Of Franklin
square aYerted any further disorder than
one hand to hand encounter between two
women in the church doors just as they
were opened. This was soon stopped, how
ever.
Pastor Love slipped In by side door,
and when the front doors were opened
minority and majority slipped in alike, it
being beyond the power OF the deac0ns on
guard to prevent.
The matter was not brought up and all
the trouble subsidized for the time. The
services passed OF in comparative quiet,
but there was good deal Of excitement
caused by the affair. and the probability 10
that if services are held next Sunday there
will be row in the camp, which is likely
70 assume large proportions

There Is said to be a proposition to in

committee, and elect a majority OF local
managers 70 serve. This is likely to be ops

last July, Newell remained without employs

by President Young. SIS. Louis did not

was also approved by President Young, and
again st. Louis was silent. Afterwerd s..
Louis made up its mind that Newells re-

was hardly found out for the first time at

for the National League to declare the claim
valid. 1t has been hard season, so it was
easier to quote law than pay $500.

A SUICIDE FRUSTRATED.
MRS. ]. S. RICH TAKES LAUDANUM
BUT FAILS TO DIE

She Said She Wanted to Die and Re-
fused Emetics, but they were Ad-
ministered and She Was Saved-She
Declares hhe VIII Kill herself at the
First Opportunity.
Mrs. Rich, wife OF James S. Rich. naval
stores inspector for Chestnut & Co., at
tempted suicide at her home, at Jefferson
and State streets, by swallowing al ounce
of laudanum about o'clock yesterday
morning.
Mrs. Rich secured the laudanum yester-
day, saying she wanted it to relieve pain.
She walked to her home. entered her room,
and, in the presence Of her three children
swallowed the dose, while they were stand
ing by begging her not to take it. Her
little girl ran out crying and told her
father what her mother had done.
DR.. Norton was sent for and hurried
over to the place only TO find Mrs Rich
almost in a stupOT from the effects Of the
drug which she had swallowed, as was
shown by the empty vial laying on tie
mAntel.
SAVED BY EMETICS.
DR.. Norton administered emetics, which
relieved her somewhat, and Drs. FARRELL and
Corbett were also called 10. The three
physicians had hard work bringing her en-
tirely back to consciousness and had to
keep her walking back aud forth, and adj
ministering an electric current until she
was entirely resuscitated and out OF danger.
She had taken just the proper dose 20 Kill,
as much more would have teen as inef-
fectual as too little.
Mrs. Rich is the daughter Of Jailer Ssrick-
land. She was formerly married to man
named Bernhard, from whom she was dI-
vOrced. She married her present husband
some years ago, and for awhile their married
life was smooth sailing.
SHE WANTED TO DIE.
She stated TO the doctor she took the
laudanum with the avowed intention of
committing suicide, and even in her stupOr
she fought against the administering OF any
medicines to prevent the deadly drug from
doing its work. She refused to take emet-
ics, saying she wanted to die, aud they had
TO be forced down.
Mrs. Rich gave as her reason for her
course that her husband had been abusing
her for some time, and that her life had
been so miserable for months that she de-
cided to end It. her mother substant inted
this story.
WANTED TO SEPARATE.
Mrs. Rich said she wanted TO live with her
husband no longer, as he had only been
making her life miserable. and that she
would seek her first opportunity 70 end It.
She openly avows according to her physi-
cian, that she will commit suicide at the first
chance which offers itself, and saws that
death is preferable to the life she has been
leading.
Mrs. Rich has three daughters. and her
mother, father and several brothers and
sisters are living in the city.

BAKING POWDER.
Do You Wish
the Finest Bread
and Cake?

1t is conceded that the Royal Baking Powder is
the purest and strongest of all the baking powders.
The Purest baking powder makes the finest sweet
est, most delicious food. The strongest baking pow
der makes the lightest food.
That baking powder which is both purest and
strongest makes the most digestibe and wholesome
food
Why should not every housekeeper avail herself
Of the baking powder which will give her the best
food with the least trouble?
Avoid all baking powders sold with gift
or prize, or at lower price than the Royal
as they invariably contain alum, lime or sui
phuric acid, and render the food unwholesome
Certain protection from alum baking powders can
be had by declining to accept any substitute for the
Royal which is absolutely pure.
