THE THISTLE BURNED.

Mr.. Postsll's Yacht Lost in Thunder
bolt River off BonRventure.
Mr. Ed Postelrs yacht. the Thistle, burned
in Thunderbolt river Off Bonaventure late
Saturday afternoon. MIR. Postell had been
down the river for sail and was returning
to Thunderb bolt when the yacht ran aground
about 800 yards east of the club house Mr.
Postell came ashore and went up to Thun-
derbolt TO wait for the yacht, leaving the
negro boy, who accompanied him on the
trip, in charge of the boat until the
tide should rise, when he would
be able 20 float her off.
The first news Mr. Postell had Of the
burning Of the boat was from the negro
boy who ran up to toe town to tell him that
it was on fire.
The boat was almost consumed when Mr..
Postsll, with some friends, reached spot.
The boy could give no definite account Of
how the boat came TO catch on fire. 1t is
believed, however, that the air on the river
being damp and cold he attempted to kindle
fire in the small stove by lighting some
kindling and pouring kerosene on it ia she
servant-girl style with the usual result.
The boy escaped by jumping into the
marsh and wading ashore. The boat burned
rapidly and was entirely consumed.
The Thistle is one of the best known
pleasure yachts around Savannah. She
was first owned here by Mr.. Hal Sohley
who sold her to Capt. +. G. Strachan. In
the spring of 1891 the Thistle was ratified off
by Capt StraohaD and was won by Mr.
George Allen and MIR. Postell. Mr. Postell
has been the sole owner of her for about a
year and half. He has spent several hun
dred dollars in improvements, and the boat
was valued at about 81 900. Mr.. Postell
had $500 insurance on the Thistle with John
Sullivan q Co. in the AGsna Fire Insurance

Tim Tarsnev's Promise.

Representative Tarsney of Missouri has a
brother named Tim who used to be- in congress,
says the ST. Louis Republic. Both brothers are
quick to say bright things. Here is a story
about Tim
He was coming out of the House restaurant
one day, when an office seeker buttonholed
him.
"Did you see the secretary" said the appli-
cant
what secretary" asked Tarsney.
"The Secretary of the Treasury You said
you would see him for me-
"Did ! ?" inquired Tarsney.
Yes exclaimed the candidate, you made
a promise aud you broke it."
Well blandy replied the congressman,
then will make you another that will be Just
as good"
And when Mr.. Tarsney disappeared in the
elevator the office seeker was still wondering II
he had advanced his case

TOTALK OVER MAY WEEK
A MERTING TO DECIDE WHETHER
IT WILL BE CONTIN UED.

Chairman Palmer and Secretary Rob
inson to Resign the Management Of
the Assoclation-The Merchants to
Say Whether They Want 8 Celebra-
ton This Year or Not.
a meeting Of the Merchants Week Asso-
citation will be called at the De Soto this
week to decide whether there will be cele-
bration this year and whether the orgsniza-
ton will be continued OF disbauded.
President H. W. Palmer and Secretary
Max Robinson, who have managed the
affairs Of the association for the last five
years, will resign their offices. They
have devoted great deal Of
time and have done an i'm
mense amount of work for the
success Of the annual celebrations, for
which they have received nothing beyond
the thanks of their fellow citizens and the
consciousness Of having done their duty IN
their efforts TO advance the city'5 interests
To these two gentlsmen a great deal Of the
credit for the last two annual celebrations
Is due, to say nothing Of their efforts In be-
half of former celebrations. They have de-
termined now that it is time for them
20 step aside and allow others to
assume the duties and responsibilities

not necessarily mean the dissolution Of the
Merchants Week Associstion. On the con-
trary the organization still continues, and
It will only be necessary TO fill the vhcAn-
cies With able men, who are willing to give
some of their time for the benefit Of the
city.
The association is now free of debt, ana
the new incumbents will not be confronted
with any such difficulty as a troublesome
deficit.
The question of the continuance OF the
organization will of course come before the
meeting. While there are some who regard
the benefits received from May week as
doubtful in character, It Is an undoubted
fact that the people in the territory tribu-
tary to Savannah have come to look upon
il as an established Institution and the
event Is looked forward to with great deal
of pleasure. The cheap rates given by the
railroads enable q great many people TO
visit the city during the week
who otherwise would not come at all.
While here they make arrangements with
business men and enter into agreements for
ths years business.
II will meet you in Savannah May week"
is the expression which greets every bust
ness man of the city when he makes . trip
through the territory tributary to Savan-
nab. Consequently 1t is the business men
and their travelling representatives who
rningle with the people who are most
anxious that the Merchants week cslebra-
tions should be continued.

THE GREAT SPECIALISTS
PAST AND PRESENT CAREER
LOOKED Up BY THE NEWS.

He Makes Many Surgical Operations
That Require His Personal Super
vision and Prolongs Bis Stay TIL
Feb. 18.
DR.. J. Harvey Moore, the specialist, who
has been located corner McDonough and
Whitaker streets the past two weeks has
created 30 much talk about him that the
curiosity Of News reporter was aroused
as to his ability. Many of his patients here
we're interviewed, the result being an unan-
unity Of opinion that was surprising, not
one being found but who praised the doctor
and his skill kilograms of inquiry were
sent to Others he referred to in his circular.
The answers were all of the same tenor.
One 60 John w. Gibln. "who was said
TO be cured Of cross-eyes and was As years
old, prominent contractor of Scranton,
Pa. }" was promptly answered, as follows:
SCRANTON, Pa. Jan. 81, 1893
Eyes were operated on by DR.. j. Harvey
Moore January, 1889, still straight. sight much
Improved, no scars or redness, very successful
operation. Highly recommend Dr.. J. Harvey
Moore. JOHN w. GIBLIN.
Another, F. E. Post, whose sons eyes
were claimed to have been Strengthened
The reply was:
TOwANDA, PA, Jan. 81, 1898.
To Savannah Netos:
My sons eyes operated on by DR. ]. Harvey
Moore twenty months ago, is a very fine opera
ton. His eyes are straight, and no redness or
scars left. Sight improved very much You
would not know him now if you had seen him
before the operation. F. E. Posi-.
Among the testimonials in DIR. Moore's
circular which highly commended him is
one from the well-knOwn firm of Camp
Bros, news and advertising bureau, Wilkes
barre, Pa, and Scranton, Pa. Their reply
was:
W1LKEsBARRE, PA, Jan. 81, 1893
To Morning Ners:
Have known Dr. j. Harvey Moore about
eight years personally and longer by reputation
medical and surgical, in the anthracite coal
regions. Successful surgical operations on
several of our friends. He stands high profess
sionally and socially. Is able, conscientious
and thorough Your people may have full con-
hdence Ia him CAMP Bros.
After such proof as the above none could
doubt that DIR. Moore does all that is
claimed for him, and is a specialist of
whom any city might well feel proud
The doctors practice since located in our
midst has been very large, and inYestiga-
ton shows that his beneice0ce not only
covers a wide field, but that he Is honora-
bic IN his practice and will not lend hiua-
self to the delusion of those in whose be-
half his great skill will not avail.
Those contemplating consulting this emil
nent specialist would do well to avail them
selves of the first opportunity, for I'M
doubtedly the last few days of his stay he
will be so busy that it will be impossible for
all who call to see him. In his advertise
ment may be found number OF testimo-
mails of cures effected while in Savannah

Completely Uprooted.

How many remedies there are which merely
relieve without uprootinG disease. The contrast
with sterling medicines which such pallletives
afford, not only enhances the dignity of the
former. but serves to emphasize the folly of en-
ploying half way measures when thorough ones
are available. A marked instance of this s the
effect, on the one hand of Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters in cases of chills and fever and bilious
remittent, and on the other of ordinary remedies
in maladies of this type. By the Bitters mala-
rial com laint in every stage. and Of the most
malignant type, are completely conquered and

If ever dislodged By the ordinary resources of

Questionably be mitigated through such means.
The same holds good OF indigestion, bilious
ness, kidney complaint. rheumatism, nervous
ness and debility BY the Bitters they ore
