England. Germany and France All obliga-

tight pinch for gold the Secretary of the
Treasury might go into the national mu-
suem or the library of the department of
state and gather up lot of the useless
medals, etc, to be found there and send
them over to the mint. The Sultan of
Turkey has just sent over massive 4-inch
medal of solid gold, studded with dia-
monds, to be added to the reserve stock

Activity in Real Estate.

The selling of lots and the building of
houses in this city does not seem to be
! checked to any marked extent by the diff
| iculty of getting money and the general
dullness of business. In nearly all parts
of the city houses are being constructed
Real estate dealers report that there has
been better demand for lots for the last
month than they had known for quite a
long time previously, and much greater
volume of business in real estate could
have been done if it had not been for the
fact that holders refused to make coaccs-
sions to buyers.
For suburban property there is grow
ing demand, especially for lots in settle
ments "on the salts" or in towns that
are within easy reach of the city.
Holders of such properties are preparing
to place them on the market, and during
this month and next there will be a great
many sales
A contractor who builds houses to sell
says that the only limit to the demand
for them is the capacity of the building
and loan companies to supply the money
With return OF the country to a normal
financial condition, Savannah, in all
probability, will have another real estate
and building boom that will give her a
population of 100000 or more.

An Erie railroad baggage smasner spied
particularly neat and handy trunk in
his car the other day. The very sight of
its unbroken locks and unscarred varnish
riled him. As the train neared Williams
port the fellows anger got the better OF
him. Grasping the MISUNDERSTANDING
trunk by a strap, which failed to pull
out, he gave it a twist to precipitate it
unto far corner. simultaneously with
the falling of the trunk there was roar,
and rush of binding white smoke and
flame. The car was almost torn to pieces
and the baggage smasher was nearly
killed The trunk had been packed with
cartridges and matches. The formerly
malignant Halter of pretty trunks is now
their most respectful admirer.

After reading of the receptions ac-
corded to visiting royalty at New York
and Chicago, it should not be so very
difficult for anybodyto entertain a prince
or princess, even. on the spur of the mo-
ment. The "Small talk" that New York
aud Chicago fred at Antoine and Eulalie
was about as small as the talk usually
employed on a summer hotel piazza. and
the souvenirs exchanged between hos S
and guests were somewhat similar in
character and uselessness to the keeps"
that are played for at a swell progressive
euchre party. For instance, Eulalie, on
leaving Chicago, presented Mayor Harri-
son with a cigarette case. (Think of
Carter Harrison with a cigarette between
his lipsD On his part, as the mayor told
the infanta good-by, he drew from his
| coat-tail pocket a copy of his book, "A
Race With the Sum-" and asked her to
accept it with his compliments. The re-
tail price of the hook is 81 %; on all news
stands Then Eulalie said: "Good-by,
Mr.. Harrison; l will always remember
your kindness and the kindness of the
people of Chicago" The mayor re-
/ sponded, $50 long; take care of your
self" and the function was finished.
Why, anybody could have done that.

1ho Supreme Court SAYS They Need Ne
work Over Eight Hours.


The Supreme Court says They Need Not
work Over Eight Hours.
WASHINGTON CIrY, March a-The
supreme court this morning affirmed the
judgment of the court Of claims in favor Of
the letter carriers in the cases of Post and
Frank Gates. These cases arose under the
oct prescribing eight hours as . days
work for letter carriers. It was contended
By the letter carriers that the postoffi CO
department in constituting the act violated
Its intent and purpose, and was requiring
more labor from them than tho law con-
templated.
In Gates case the question was whether
or not the eight hour provision as applied
to letter carriers meant an average Of eight
hours day for month. the department
holding that any deficit in eight hours on
Sundays or other days could be set Oft
against an excess over eight hours on
other days. The court rules that this can
not be done and that carriers are entitled
to extra pay for any overtime on any sim
gle delivery.
In Posts case the position taken by the
United States was that eight hours should
consist of the time employed and that car
riers could not recover extra pay for other
services within the postofficc performed in
connection with duties imposed on them
by the postmaster. The court holds that
this position is untenable and that carriers
are entitled to extra pay for over eight
hours work under such circumstances.
