styles In Hair-DressInc.

The new styles OF hair-dressing follow
the classic Empire fashions of dress. The
back hair is dressed in a soft coil in the
nape of the neck 50 as to display fully
the contours of the head. This coil is
sometimes placed considerably higher,
the whole matter depending upon the
shape Of the head. The front hair is
waved and drawn back 50 that it falls in
head, or according to the manner most
becoming the head. This simple, classic
style of coitfure is suitable for the MORN
ing and for general wear. and is likely to
supersede short hair. Young ladies' who
have had their hair cut may again let 1t
grow to womanly length. For evening
wear the hair is dressed more elaborately,
but the classic coiTure remains the model.

WILL PROSECUTE THE CASE

Mrs. 5agood WIN Bring Her Erring
Lord to Time.
Mrs. Hagood of Savannah is not lacking
in evidence against her one-time husband
nor have those whom she will have to an
tagonize denied her claims in any respect.
She has put her case in the hands of a
lawyer and will make every effort to have
her husband convicted or to obtain divorce
and alimony which, in the nature of the
case, would probably have TO come from
the Golfers of the Chicago wife, who still
clings TO the man in spite of the adveutur-
Gus life he has led since she married him. or
rather went through the marriage ceremony
with him.
Hagood gave bail in Charleston and Ii is
said has gone 20 Atlanta. If Mrs
HsRood succeeds 10 getting at him he will
probably be brought TO Savannah, and the
case taken up Ia the courts here The
evidence in her favor seems to be as strong
as could be desired. and the only thing to
lie done now is TO get HaRood. If she
makes out the case she has against him
according to her statements, and 1t GERS
talnly APT ears TO be bad case OF desertion,
the courts might award her a good sum.
The trouble, however, seems TO be In get
sing at him. Mrs. Hagood saws: ''He is
the slickest man l ever saw, and IL they
once let him out Of jail he'll skip and that
will be the end of it.n
1t remains TO be seen, however, what will
be done in the matter, and il Hagood is the
man he is said to be he will escape through
any loop-hole that appears.

WANTS TEE. @. AND P.

s. Rumor That Mr.. Plant BIAS offered
to Buy the Road Outright.
. A Jacksonville dispatch to the MORNING
NEWS says there is a rumor current there
20 the effect that MIR. H. B. Plant has
offered to buy the Florida Central and
Peninsusr outright, and that the only
thing in the way of the deal is the consent
of the South Bound.
Officials Of the South Bound who were
seen yesterday did not corroborate this
rumor. They state that no proposition has
been made to them, and so far as they know
there is no truth in the rumor
1t is said thai the South Bound has little
TO say 10 the matter and that as the Florida
Central and Peninsular has an option on it,
il would 20 with that road as part of the
system under the terms OF It's contract With
the Florida Central and Peninsular. Ac-
cording to the agreement the Florida Cen
trail aud Peninsular has, or will have,
ninety-nine years lease on the South Bound,
and the contract further requires the COM
pletion Of the Florida Central and PENN
sular by Oct. l, aud the indorsement and
security Of the bonds OF the South Bound
Should Mr. Plant undertake to buy the
Florida Central and Peninsular, it is said,
he would have to comply with the terms Of
the contract between that road and the
South Bound, which requires the forfeiture
of 5000, 900 provided the Florida Central
and Peninsular is not completed by a certain
time. He would further have to secure the
bonds of the South Bound road and
pay all damages awarded by annulment
OF contracts, besides purchasing the part of
the road which has already been completed.

REcKLEss RuNNING or oARs.


Something Which Needs the Atten-
ton of the Authorities.
There should be some regulation on the
part OF the city for street car companies in
regard TO running cars through the streets
Cars are run at good speed through and
across streets without any notice, either by
gong or otherwise, of their coming.
This is especially the case with the Electric
Railway Company's line. The conductors
and motormen on the cars of this company
seem TO be utterly indifferent to the safety
Of the public. Yesterday afternoon there
was nearly an accident at Broughton and
Price streets, by reason of the care
lessness Of the motorman Of a car.
One car had passed and IL was reasonable
TO suppose that there was no further danger,
but just az a buggy started across the track
another car came dashing along without
giving any alarm. It was only by the
utmost exertion on the part Of the driver
that the horse was pulled back out Of the
way of the car,
There should be heavy penalty imposed
upon motormen who fail TO signal at a
crossing the approach Of car. and when
one car is following another there should be
an interval sufficiently great to allow a
vehicle to cross the track without danger
Many Of the motormen aud conductors on
the street lines are from the country, and
from the manner in which they run the
cars they doubtless imagine that they are
racing colt down piney woods road in
stead of operating a car through the streets
of CITY. Some day they will Kill citizen,
aud when the unfortunate Is tried for muir
der there will be good many witnesses and
a well posted jury to convict them.

PRECAUTIONS WORTH TAKING.

The Public Health Commuters sug-
gestion TO Guard Against Disease.
At the last regular weekly meeting of the
committee on public health of the Citizens
Sanitary Association, a resolution was
adopted embodying the following sugGes-
tions to the people of Savannah:
In order to obviate as far as practicable
the collection of sewer gas in pipes leading
from water closets and bath tubs to sewers,
no provision being made for flushing such
pipes, it is advisable to ill the bath tub with
water every morning. then discharge it
into the soil pipe, allowing the water to run
from the water closet long enough to effect
thorough cleansing of the trap.
A gallon of water containing sixteen or
twenty grains of corrosive sublimate should
be poured once or twice a week into every
water closet in order to effect destruction
Of disease germs. Corrosive sublimate is,
however a poison, and should be carefully
handled about dwellings.
The waste pipe OF bath tubs should have
extra large openings in order to insure free
flushing
The best material for water closets is
white glazed earthenware.
The main ventilator in every building
should extend two feet above the roof of
the building and should be of sufficient size
to admit the connection to it of large venti-
lating pipes from all the water closets in
the building.
