The weasel is one of the prettiest and
most graceful creatures that can be

stone heaps or in any convenient hole
where it can find shelter.

and a very short tail. Its weapons are
its strong e.aws and sharp teeth, which
1t knows how to use SO well that many
larger animals live in constant terror Of

which are ever ON the alert for rabbits
and other small game. rarely swoop

There has been some talk of retiring
Chief of Police Green. AS Chief Green
lacks only a year of having served the
required thirty years which would entlue
him TO be placed upon the pension roll
with q pension amounting TO one-hat the
salary al present received by him. the
majority Of the members Of council APP
pear to favor continuing him in office on
this account. Chief Green will have com
pleted his thirty years Of service on Nov.
!, 1890 having served continue uSly since
the organization of the present force by
Gen. Anderson Nov. ]. 1865. This would
entitle him TO an annual pension Of $1,000
during the remainder of his life. The con-
dition, however, named in the ordinance,
under which an officer can be placed on
the retired roll at half pay after thirty
years service. is that he shall be per-
manently disabled, physically or mentally,
so as to be unfit for duty Chief Green's
hale and hearty appearance would seem
to indicate that he is good for active ser
vice for a good many years to come.

" in an enthusiastic mood, but it was
claimed that the subject of the Charlton

business transacted of interest to the out

nor, william =. Bailey and John r. Dill
lon to cooperate with the campaign com
mittee of the democratic executive com
mittee in the work Of bringing out q full

A meeting of the Fourth District In

A member of the club who was present at
the meeting informed the Morning News
that Alderman Herman Myers was Sc
verely censured for comforting with a
leading member of Tammany and assert
ing that Maj. Schwarz could not get the
nomination of the Citizens Club under
any circumstances. The club was com
posed of Maj. Schwarz' friends, the Morn
ing News informant said. The meeting
was very enthusiastic, he said about forty
new members being enrolled.

THE FUNDS ARE OUT.
The United States Marshal Has No
Money With Which to Serve War

The United States Marshal Has No
Money With Which to Serve War
rants.
There seems to be some trouble with
United States funds so far as the court
officials are concerned. The inspectors
and officers of the United States court
have been working up several criminal
cases in the district during the last two
or three weeks, and have some on the list
whom the have no doubt they could east
~ convict but there is no money provided
to catch them with.
The marshal and his deputies are all
ready for work, and don't mind waiting
for their money but, for some reason or
other they have had none from the gov
eminent in some months now, and they
are not in position to pay the expenses
of hunting up and catching criminals.
The marshal says there is no money in
hand with which to serve subpoenas and
warrants, and until there is, it is likely
that little can be done. Just where the
trouble is, is not definitely known, but as
sometimes occurs in governmental mat
tiers, there is an unavoidable delay.
The red tape line probably has not been
properly followed to it's terminus and has
been gotten into a tangle. In the mean
time the criminals and violators of United
States laws in the district are running
ahead with their work undisturbed.
though the authorities have an eagle eye
on them, and are ready to haul them
up just as soon as provision is made for
their expenses in catching them.

oHATHAM's BIG RALLY.

The Committee Making Complete Ar
rRnRements to Bring Out a GOOD
Majority.
Arrangements are being made by the
committee for phe ante-election mass
meeting and democratic rally. Col. Les
ter is expected to return to the city to-
day, and the committee will confer with
him at once and find out what he de-
sires as to the manner of conducting it.
Circulars were sent out yesterday by
the committee signed by w. W. Starr,
chairman; ]. E. Mcclure, e. C. Gleason,
William Gibbons and c. A. Lamotte to
the various political clubs of the city an
nouncing what was done at the recent

very formidable and complete organiza-
lions in at least six of the counties com
prising the First congressional district
having induced the negro population to
join them through all manner of prom
ises, and in view of the fact that there
is no republican candidate.
THE situation is not such,' the circu-
lar says, las to inspire perfect confidence
in the election of the democratic candi-
date, Col. Rufus r. Lester. In view of
these facts, the executive committee ap-
pointed a campaign committee for the
purpose of assisting Col. Lester to bury
his opponent under a mountain of ballots
polled in Chatham county
The democratic candidate, 1t says, hav-
ing been endorsed by both
factions, local differences should
be buried in this election,

WITH THE CITY COURT.
All the Misdemeanor Prisoners Cleared
Out Of the Jail.

A session of the criminal branch of the

eraI violators of the law were sent out
for little work on the canals. Solicitor

BAY STREETS NEW MAIN.
The City Council Will Discuss 1t Early
Next Month.


Next Month.
1t will be remern bered that after the re-
port of Chief Hale of Kansas City upon
the Savannah fire department had been
submitted and considered by the city
council, it was determined that the six
inch water main on Bay street should be
replaced this fall by one of larger size
either a siXteen-inCh or a tWenty-four
inch.
The purchase of the new fire engine and
the laying of the larger main on Bay
street were the concessions which the
city made to the demands of the insurance
men for improvement in the fire service.
Mayor McDonough was spoken to the
other day by a Morning News reporter
with regard to the Bay street main. The
mayor said the question of laying the
main viii be taken up by council at the
first meeting in November. 1t is useless,
he said, to bring the matter up before that
time as the sanitary ordinance prohibits
the upturning of the soil in the streets
until after Oct. 81. 1t was true, the mayor
! added, that the council might have made
! all the arrangements beforehand, so that
! the work might be done in Deem Der but
| as there are no funds in the treasury for
| such work, it is likely that the only action
! taken by council this year upon the sub
| ject will be to provide for the work in
/ the budget for next year, which will be
| prepared in December

..IANEn MAKES A HIT.
A Good Company Plays the Famous
Comedy to a Fair Audience.

A Good Company Plays the Famous
Comedy to a Fair Audience.
Jane was produced at the theater last
night by the company under the direc-
ton of Mr.. Gustave Frohman, and was
played to a fair audience. The entertain
ment began with one-act drama en-
titled zone Touch Of Nature" in which
the cast was very good, and the parts
well played.
Jane. the three-act farcical comedy by
Nichols and Aestocq is fun OF amusing
and queer situations, but goes considera-
bly, beyond nature and draws on the
imaginative in its portrayal Of character.
Some of its situations are rather absurd
than funny or amusing. As a farclcal
comedy, however, there is much in 1t for
amusement, and its long run in New York
shows that II is popular.
The company is a good one in almost
every particular. In fact, every one OF
the characters is well portrayed. Mr. j.
J.. Tucker, as William, is 2 hrst-class
comedian, and Mr.. Charles Stedman, who
plays Mr.. Kershaw does his part well.
Miss Belle Gilbert has Jane down to per-
lection, and she carries out the part as
the original probably did when the affair
occurred. The company will present
Jane at the matinee this afternoon
and again tonight, each time preceded by
the onc-act drama, zone Touch Of Ma
ture," which. though brief, gives room
for much artistic work
During the performance Mr.. Church
Bergman, the laughing salesman of the
Standard Oil Company, was in one OF
the boxes with some friends, and his
laugh attracted much attention from the
players as well as from the audience. If
anything excited his laughing propen-
sity he was sure to let it out and while
the audience would join in heartily, the
players would glare at him. Several
times they stopped their parts until he
finished laughing and the man who threw
the biscuit across the stage in the play
seemed to be aiming it right where hesat.
Mr.. Berrymans laugh is inimitable and
queer, but It is natural and provokes
much merriment WhereVer IL is heard.

A DELEaATIoN FOR TURNER.
Some of His Friends From Chatham
Will Go to Atlanta to Work for Him.


Will Go to Atlanta to Work for Him.
Arrangements are being made here
among Hon. Henry G. Turner's friends
to extend to him all the aid that Chatham
county can give him in the contest for
the senatorship 1t was talked around
yesterday that just before the election,
which takes place before the general as
sembly, a party of Mr.. Turner's warm
friends in Savannah win so to Atlanta
and put in some good work for him.
The matter was suggested to several of
Mr.. Turner's friends, and they were one
and all in favor of the project. There
is no doubt that he win have a good del
egation on hand from Chatham county
outside of the regular Legislative del
egation. 1t is believed with good founda-
ton that all of the representatives from
Chatham county are for Mr.. Turner for
the senate, and there seems to be little
doubt that they will put in good work
for him with the democrats, both before
the caucus and at the time it takes place.
One of the Representatives at least is
with Hon. T.. NJ. Norwood on the supreme
court question. The petition circulated
among the members of the Savannah bar
has not yet been presented to Mr.. Nor
wood, and he has not stated whether he
would or would mot be a candidate. At
any rate one of the representatives from
this county remarked that he would vote
for Mr.. Norwood, and would be glad to
see him elected to the supreme bench.
