THE HEALTH BOARDS ACTION.
A Resolution Adopted for the Benefit
Of Reporters.


of Reporters.
Reporters viii not be admitted TO the
meetings of the sanitary board here
after They have not been heretofore for
that matter. A resolution was passed
yesterday that no newspaper man thould
be admitted to any meeting Of the
board
A resolution was also adopted that in
all cases where physicians decide to hold
an autopsy upon suspicious cases the
health officer should be notified
Two Brunswick refugees. mother aud
son, were captured in the southern part
of the city yesterday morning and turned
over to the health officer who sent them
out Of the city They were captured by
private citizen, who was after
the reward offered in such cases.
The couple was put off at
Meldrim several days ago and had been
out of Brunswick for some time but I'M
der the regulations they could not be
allowed TO come into the city. After they
had been at Meldrlm a day or two Mayor
McDOnOugh allowed them to go down to
BlOomingdale. Instead of stopping at that
place, however, they came on to POOler,
and ina day or two afterward TO Savannah,
taking up their residence in Yamacraw.
DIR. Drummer heard of the couple and
they had removed to the southern part
of the city. They were again located
and an inspector was sent for them yes
terday morning Before he could reach
them, however, the arrest had been made
by private party.
1t was pitiable case the mother being
old and deaf and the son cOnsumptive.
They were sent out at once TO Southoyer,
and We're given tickets to some point on
the Central last night.
A number of people have been put off
at Meldrim and Southover within
the last two days, most Of
them being evidently from the upper por-
ton of the state or along the line of the
Central and Savannah, Florida and West
ern railroads. They had no health GER
titcates and could not give satisfactory
account of themselves for the previous
ten days. 1t would be well for
every one coming in this direc-
tiOn now to provide themselves
with health certificates from their local
authorities, or if there is no person quail
fed to give a certificate at the station
where they buy their tickets, to get one
from the ticket agent stating how many
days previously they have been in the
place and upon what date they left. 1t is
the best way to save trouble with the
sanitary inspectors.
Mayor Hull Of Meldrim is making quite
a kick because Savannah is making his
town dumping ground for suspects. He
threatens to put on quarantine for Mel
drim.
Ex-Policemen Jernigan and Neve, who
were recently discharged from the force
by the mayor for cursing in quarters,
have been appointed quarantine inspectors
and will take charge Of the South Bound
railroad this morning. They will also
assist at SOuthover while not inspecting
the South Bound trains. Both are good
men for the work

A Contractor in Trouble.

Mr.. Steinacker had been paid for what

CITY BREVITIEs.

A runaway horse knocked a negro boy
down at the corner Of West Broad and
Harris streets last night, bruising him
about the head and arms
j. A. Rhymes, a young white man, was
arrested and held at the barracks last
night by DR.. Drummer. Rymes is said to
be the party who has been spreading the
report that there was yellow fever in the
city.
Officer Mcguire wishes it understood
that his horse was not captured on the
night that he raided the Gray woman's
house, and says that it did not run away,
but walked to the box at West Broad and
Burroughs streets.
A drunken negro was picked up with
his face cut in several places last night.
He said that some party of strangers,
knowing he was pretty drunk. met him
an hour before and asked him to treat.
He refused and they beat him.

THE FIRST LAMPBLACK PLANT.
It is in Operation at Lyons and
is a Success.

The first lampblack plant, erected at
Lyons, is an accomplished fact and is a
success. The quantity of waste from the
turpentine still amounts to about 900 to
1000 pounds per day, and will about sup
ply the furnace, which requires no other
care or attention except replenishing
once every "A or SO hours.
The danger from fire has been entirely
eliminated, and the production of lamp
black goes on night and day, Sundays
and week days, uninterrupted.
The capacity of the plant is about 300
pounds of lampblack per day or five tons
per month. A ton of lampblack will read
lily bring two cents per pound or $40. 00per
ton, clearing 5000 month or just about
what it cost to put this plant up.
1t is entirely in the power of every tur-
pentine operator, says MIR. c. IB. Warrand,
inventor of the plant, to add $3.50 to 5000
per month to his income while he is run
ming his still about or months in the
year. The furnace is not expensive and
is admirably adapted for the purpose, and
anybody can run it without trouble. 1t
was manufactured by G. Il. Lombard 81
Co., of Augusta. The output of the
Lyons plant MIR. Warrand says has been
engaged for four months to a prominent
fertilizer company of Savannah at good
prices.
While there is a demand for thousands
of tons of lamp black, there is an i'm
mense amount of refuse from turpentine
stills burned just to get rid of this very in
fiammable refuse, while with lampblack
plant it can be made a large source of
revenue, at a nominal cost
The furnace will burn dark resins
equally well as dross and it is by far more
profitable to turn dark resins into lamp
black than to ship it.

AT THE THEATER.
The New DEVILS Auction Makes Hit
- To Be Repeated.

The New DEVILS Auction was at the
theater last night. 1t certainly caught
the fancy. The audience was next to the
largest that has filled the theater yet
The spectacle part of the piecer has been
entirely changed and added to until it is
hardly recognizable as the old play that
has been going the rounds for years
The play itself is the same. The "Bouie-
varde" ian excellent representation in
dance of types and scenes familiar on the
streets, 'Little Miss Columbia" the
French Quadrille, - the "Salvationists,"
and an entirely new transformation finale
were few of the special features. The
dramatic cast is good and several pre-
mieres and maitres de ballet were intro
duced
The production ended with a trans
formation called the Advent of
Spring, " a series of beautiful tableaux
depicting the changes of nature. The
play will be repeated at ma linee to-day,
and again tonight. The matinee will be

The Florida Central and Peninsular to
i Get the South Bound on Time.

A meeting of the directors of the Sa-
vannah Construction Company and the
South Bound railroad was held yesterday
afternoon at the office of Denmark &

stone like the clay-iron exists. The
fact that the objects are covered all
over with n coating of iron ore no
holds sufficient proof that they are not

The prehistoric American would
seem to have been prodigiously fond
of animals. He represents animals as
often as himself or his deities on the
stones which he has fashioned. Some
times stone bears an animal on one
side and mans head on the other.
The great majority of these animals
heads, he says, were weapons or the
principal features of weapons They
have holes in them for wooden handles
In many instances, and sometimes
grooves for thongs with which to at
tach the handles. Very formidable
weapons they must have been.
In one case a mans head with mouth
open is represented. This mouth leads
to space inside the head of the ca
pacity of half pint. This, the dis
coyerer has no doubt, was a bottle.

America. 1t is supposed to be the re-
suit of general breaking up of
things on the earth's surface at the
close of the tertiary period, pro-
duced by glaciers or some other
agency. SMr. Ignatius Donnelly thinks
a comet may have done it. Mr.. Doughty,
then, would settle for us the vexed
question of the existence of men during
the tertiary period. Man, according
to him, was in existence during the
tertiary period and was very 'industri-
Gus and fairly intelligent. While he
was busily engaged in covering pieces
of stone with rough, but interesting
sketches of tertiary life, that terrible
calamity, of which the drift remains
as evidence, cut him short. His ar
tistic efforts were buried with him
under the drift, and Mr.. Doughty is
now finding them in Brooklyn and
elsewhere.
It was in August, 1901, that he first
discovered remains of man in the drift.
That was at Lancaster, Mass. He
went to work in Brooklyn, where
there are excellent opportunities for
pursuing geological and archaeological
labors, and secured about hundred
animal and human forms in stone
obviously, to him, carved by man. He
announces his discovery in a paper
read before the American Numismatit
and Archaeological Society on March

steadily to investigate and collect HI

GREEK LEGEND.


"A Story OF tho Bottomioss AeDyrintn
and its Fascination.
Puzzledom and fairy-tale are alike
indebted to this bit of ancient legend
for much of their stock in trade. And
there has always been fascination for
even us Of adult years about those mys-
terious winding passages, all leading
inward, but affording no exit, while
we have visions of fairy Princes in
ogre castles, of Fair Rosamond in old
English story, of the Mammoth Cave,
and of the dreadful Catacombs, to say
nothing of the perplexities of innumer-
able puzzles which have for their spice
such patience exhausting mazes.
The legendary labyrinth has a
curious origin. The Greek word laby-
rinthos is derived from the laurai or
passages of a mine. The mines Of
Greece were probably first worked by
the Phenicians, and the simple minded
natives gazed with wonder and awe at
the strange holes in the ground. They
had natural fear of darkness, and,
moreover. the riches of the lower
world were also the god of death and
the dead. Aud so the labyrinth, the
maze of dark passages, became an
object of terror, and was at last per-
sonified as the ancients personified SO
many other superstitions of theirs.
The myth known to literature is Of
Cretan origin. Minos, King of Crete,
and after his death judge of the lower
world, while pursuing D@dalus to
Agrigentum, was killed by the daugh-
tiers of Cocalus, King of that country,
these gentle maidens pouring boiling
water over him while he was in his
bath. The wife of Minos was Pasi-
ph9. the moon-goddess, and she
had child whose father was
the bull of Minos. This was
the famous Minotaur, creature
half bull and half man. Dedalus
constructed labyrinth, in which the
Minotaur was shut up. Now the
Athenians had killed son of Minos,
and as n punishment it was decreed
that seven Athenian youths and seven
maidens must be sent every ninth year
and given up to the Minotaur to be de-
voured. Three times this grewsome
reparation was made, but the fourth
time, Theseus, who was among the
hostages, slew the Minotaur, and es-
capped from the labyrinth by means Of
the clue which had been given him by
Adiradne, the personifcation of spring.
