a Savannah Young Mans Expert
ence With a Gondola.
The friends of a young Savannahian
who visited the worlds fair in Chicago
are telling good joke on him. The young
man went to the fair with the intention of
seeing it all, and he is very fond of telling
his experiences. He stopped at private
boarding house while in Chicago, with
another Savannahian. The landlady took
a great interest in the young men and
made point of calling their attention to
various features of the fair.
did you ride on the gondola2" she in
quired one day at dinner The young
man had never heard Of a gondola, but he
was not going to acknowledge his ignor-
anCe.
mo ma am" he replied. ~ was afraid
it might fling me-"
The landlady said nothing, but some of
the boarders snickered.
What's a gondola anyhow" asked the
young man of his friend after they haG
left the table. His friend explained that
it was species Of canal boat very popu-
lar in Venice.
Huh" he said, 81 thought it was one
Of those new-fangled flying machines"
He denies the story now, but the boys
have the laugh on him all the same.

THE SQUARES ARE THEIRS.
The Boys Can Do as They Like in
Them This Month.

Mayor McDonough says the boys will
be allowed to build their bonfires and ex-
plode their fireworks in the public
squares this Christmas just the same as
in previous years.
The mayor does not believe in restrict
ing the privileges of the BOYS, and he does
not propose that they shall be deprived of
any of their customary prerogatives dur
ing his administration. The boys have
no votes, but Mayor McDonough intends
to guard their privileges Just the same
A MORNING News reporter put the
question pOintedly to Mayor McDonough
yesterday:
'Will the boys be allowed to build their
bontires and burn fireworks in the squares
this year as usual"
They certainly will" replied Mayor
McDonOugh. The boys will be allowed
the same privileges on the streets and
squares south of Liberty street during
the holidays as heretofore They NAV
have just as many bOnfres as they please,
so they keep within the limits of the law
Why should they not{"
"a good many people are complaining
That the bontres damage the squares by
burning off the grass and injuring the
trees. Do YOU not think there is ground
for the complaintf' Mayor McDonough
was asked.
Not bit Of it." he replied "This
talk about the bonfrcs injuring the
squares is all pOppycock. The boys have
been having their bonfres in the squares
every Christmas since l can remember
and the grass comes out as pretty as ever
in the spring. In fact IN a
few weeks after Christmas YOU
can not tell where the
bonfres were. Instead Of killing the
grass the fires appeared really TO benefit
it."
You can just say" said the mayor.
that the boys can go ahead and have all
the bontires they want 10. So they keen
within the law they will not be troubled F."
The indications are that the boys intend
70 exercise the holiday privileges allowed
them 10 the fullest possible extent this
year. Thousands of barrels and boxes
have been stolen and hidden away in
back yards, and it will not be long before
every square will be ablaze at nightfau
with the bonfres of the boys.

BIRDS IN GREAT NUMBERS.
More of the Juicy Quail this Year
Than Ever Known.

Quail are said to be more plentiful this
season than in any previous year in the
recollection OF the local hunters From
every direction come reports of the
success the hunters are having. Any
body who knows how to shoot at all can
go out with dog and gun and knock
over dozen or two in little while, and
good shots can kill as many as they can
carry. Two parties of hunters who went
out from Savannah Thanksgiving day re
turned with 800 birds each.
1t is not only in this immediate neigh
bOrhOod that the quail,are so plentiful,
but it is said to be the case throughout
the whole adjoining section of Georgia
and South Carolina The reasons for the
unusually large numbers of birds this
fall are said to be the unexceptionablv
favorable breeding season during the
summer and the abundant pea crop this
fall, which supplied the birds with food
and kept them in fine condition. Hunters
are noting the fact that nearly all GOV
eys are double" that is containing
twenty or more birds, instead of ten or
twelve only, as is the usual rule in ordi-
nary years.
The unusual supply of the birds is
shown in the low price at which they are
selling. Ordinarily they bring from 1917
to ID cents apiece. This week the price
dropped to 10 cents, and Saturday they
We're sold as low as cents. The restau-
radts have all the birds they can use. and
eDicures have no difficulty in supplying
their tables at small cost.
There is always big demand for
quail in Savannah said restaurant man
yesterday, but this year the supply ex-
ceeds the demand. On the two DAYS
after Thanksgiving I received over lCO
birds, the result of the THANKSGIVING
shooting. This was not hunters work
either, but birds sent in by genuine
sportsmen mostly, who used all they
wanted and sent the surplus to market
The shipments came from all around.
from Fleming and Mcintosh on the
savannah, Florida and Western railway.
Henderson and Lyons on the Central rail
road, Scotia, Fairfax and other points on
the South Bound railroad and Ridgeland
and lHaileville, on the Charleston and
Savannah railroad. We received very
few birds from Savannah hunters, how
ever, nearly all of them being shipped in
from the country The birds are fat and
in good condition. There will be let IN
in the supply now that Thanksgiving is
over, but there will be enough coming IN
to supply the market"

GIVEN TOO MUCH POWER.
Mayor NCDOnOughS Objection 10 the
State Board Of Health Bill.

The Bill. If 1t Become IS a Law, Likely
70 Iniure savannah-The Jurisdic-
ton Of the Board Should be Limited
TO Land Qua-anttne-The Mayors
Conference With Representative Os-
borne.
MAYOR NcDonough had an interview
with Representative Osborne. who is
down from Atlanta, yesterday, on the
subject Of the bill 10 provide a state
hoard OF health. which is now before the
legislature Mayor NcDonough stated
his objections 70 the bill TO Mr.. Osborne.
He considers that If the bill becomes a
law in its present shape it viii be mimi
cal To the interests Of Savannah.
II am in favor OF a state board of
health. Il given proper powers and prop
erly supported by the state, said Mayo
NcDonough. II co not believe, however.
that the state board of health should
have anything 10 do with the maritime
quarantine, except perhaps IN general
way. If the bill becomes a law neces-
sarily the majority OF the mem
bers of the board viii be from
the interior. and in all likelihood men
who are unacquaiuted with the conditions
surrounding maritime quarantine. Con
sequently they would be unfit 10 provide
suitable regulations for such a Quaran-
tine
OPENS A WAY TO INJURY.
While lido not apprehend that there
would be any effort by the state
board of health TO luiure Savannah or any
other port, it is possible that the board
might pass such regulations as would
hamper our commerce and thereby do
great injury to the business OF the port.
A state board of health might DO good in
the interior in various ways if properly
supported by the state. The apprOpria
tion of $4,000 proposed by the bill is en-
tirely inadequate, however. 1t would be
a mere bagatelle in the cost of handling
any epidemic that might occur, and the
state would be forced to the humiliating
necessity of calling upon the general gov
eminent to take charge Of the work
which it had first undertaken.
THE GOVERNMENT QUARANTINE.
"The national government already pro-
vides sufficiently stringent regulations
for the conduct of maritime quarautines
These regulations are stringently en-
forced at this port, and in addition every
precaution is exercised which is recon-
mended by practical good judgment and
medical science The national govern
ment has shown a disposition to take
charge of the entire coast quarantine and
this will very likely he the case in few
years from now There is certainly no
need of state interference

bly, oppose the state board Of health bill

BRING The VIKING SHIP.
1t Would Be a Big Attraction For
EXCurSiOniStS.

A Move For the City and the Ex-
changes to Extend Capt. Andersen
a Formal Invitation to Visit Savan-
nah With His Historic Craft.
The proposition to bring the famous
Norwegian craft, the model of Lief Ericc-
sons ancient historical craft, the Viking
ship, to Savannah, through invitation ex-
tended to Capt. Andersen, who is in COM
mand of her, is looked upon with much
favor by every one, and there seems TO be
a universal desire to have her enter Savan-
nah's harbor on her way north up the At
lantic sea board.
Mayor McDonough has Endorsed the
project, as has also Capt, d. G. Purse,
president of the board of trade, and Capt.
Andersen's countrymeu in Savannah,
some Of whom know him personally, say
that he will gladly stop into port here if
the invitation be extended him.
There remains but one thing to do then,
and that is to extend Capt. Andersen and
his crew cordial invitation to visit Sa-
vannah on his way by. He is still some
where up at the head of the Mississippi
river and will not be around this way be-
fore some time in January, but the re-
quest would have to reach him before he
left the Mississippi.
1t would be well if the Savannah mer-
chants could arrange to have one of their
excursions from the surrounding country
at the same time, as there are large num-
bers of people who would be glad of an
opportunity to came to Savannah to see
the strange Norwegian craft, which
elected so much admiration and wonder
on account of its long and dangerous voy-
age from Norway to the worlds fair at
Chicago Everybody would welcome his
visit here, and there is little doubt but
that he would be as much pleased
with Savannah as Savannahians with a
sight of his craft and crew

woman might have been more successful
in her attempt. The party who reported
the case at the barracks refused TO give
the woman's name.
The woman, il was said, deserted her
husband several months ago and came 20

to return to her home. The husband came
to Savannah in search Of her several

terday.
A one story frame house in West
Savannah about two miles west of the
city belonging to Benjamin S Harris, a
pattern maker at Kehoe's foundry, was
burned about o'clock yesterday morn
ing.
Mrs Harris had just made a fire pre-
paratory to getting the family up for
breakfast. Shortly afterward she dis
covered large quantities of smoke up
in the ceiling and an investigation showed
that the entire roof was ablaze. The
family barely had time to get out of the
burning building before it was one mass
of flames, and beyond few articles of
furniture little or nothing was saved.
Some of them did not even have time to
save their clothing, and they had to seek
shelter in a neighbours home.
The total loss, it is said amounts to
about s., 600, as nothing of any conse-
quence was saved The house was in
sured for $500 and the furniture also for
$500 with Mr.. John T. Rowland.
