WITHIN THEBUDCE
The Council Expects TO Get Through
the Year on S774,3OO.

S6os, 9o2. e5 Expended up TO Oct. and
SIe5, 397.o5 Left to Run the City on
for the Fext Two and a Half Months.
The Paving Item the Only Expendi-
ture That Has Exceeded the Budget
Appropriation so Far.
A statement of the expenditures OF the
various city departments for the nine
months ending Oct. / was submitted by
Clerk OF Council Rebarer at the last
meeting Of council. There were some
slight Inaccuracies in the report, which
were corrected yesterday by Mr.. Re-
barer.
The statement shows that the total ex-
penditures for the year TO Oct. l were
s6OS, 9O2.95. while the budget appropria-
ton is S774,3)O leaving a balance unex-
pended for the remainder of the year of
$l65, 05. By close shaving it is expected
to keep the expenditures within the
budget. The only items which have ex-
ceeded the budget appropriations are paw
ing, which shows an excess of $10,S7S. 81,
and the new waterworks. with an ex-
cess of $22O49.
The large excess on account of paving
is due to the Jefferson street pavement,
the assessments for which have not vet
been collected from the property hold
ers on that street. If these assessments
are collected this year the excess on ac-
count of paving will be very slight.
The following is a statement of expen-
ditures and comparison with the budget
appropriations:

BISHOP NELSON'S LETTER.
A Savannah CIergyman's Views on the
Church Vote.


There seems to be a growing and a seri-
Gus interest in the American Protective
Association question, and the letter Of
Bishop Nelson, together with the reply Of
Father Kelley vicar-general, has been
extensively read in Savannah. A repre-
sentative of the Morning News asked
Rev. q. Monroe Royce, assistant rector
Of Christ church, his views on the sub
ject OF Bishop Nelson's letter
Rev. Mr.. Royce said he had not been
in America long since his work abroad
and had not studied the American Protec-
tive Association question in detail, but"
he said, Il am not disposed to criticise
my bishop"
1.-THE press" he said, lis more liable to
criticise Protestant views and TO criti-
else them to a greater extent than they
do the Roman Catholic, for the reason
tfat il knows that the Roman Catholic
vote goes with its church. Other
churches are not clannish as Is the Ro-
man CATHOLIC. and that point is enough
to give ground and color to the views
advanced by Bishop Doane Of the AL
bany diocese, as well as by Bishop Mel
son. They make the statement that the
Roman Catholics stay together for
purpose, while we do not. That pur-
pose is either apparent or understood.
The Roman Catholics always have the
question of any advantage to their re-
ligion at heart, and all political questions,
as well as others, are weighed in that bal
ance. The fact is, the Roman Catholics
are clannish in that respect, and that's
where the trouble lies, l suppose. No
body caters to the Episcopalian or the
Baptist vote, but people do cater to that
Of the Roman Catholic church. 1t goes
as a whole. and is used politically for
the purpose of the church. 1 am not
condemning it, and am not approving it,
but simply state this as a fact

A BIRD HUNTING PIG.
Reliable as Any Pointer Dog, but De-
spite His Talent He Became Bacon.
From the New York Advertiser.

From the New York Advertiser.
We call pigs stupid creatures
This is not fair; they are really
as intelligent as the majority
of domestic animals, but the lives
we allow them are too short, and their
opportunities too few for them to show
their abilities to advantage. Tho pig of
which / have more particularly to tell
was by no means a handsome specimen,
but what she wanted in beauty she made
up in talent.
AS baby pig she belonged to a person
named Toomer, and she was reared with
a family of youpg pointer puppies. She
took kindly to her playfellows, and when
they became old enough to follow the
keeper in his walks, she too would come
trotting and grunting after. When Mr..
Toomer began TO train his young charges
for their work of finding and pointing out
game, there was danger that piggy might
make mischief. But the keeper would
not leave her shut up at home. He had,
he said, broken many dogs as obstinate
as pigs, and could surely break pig that
was so much more tractable than the rest
of her kind. So he taught her TO back,
that is, to stand perfectly still whenever
q dog had found game and was pointing
at it. To teach her this he used both re-
wards and punishments; when she did
wrong he pelted her with tiny stones. for
ne could not eaten her ana cnaStlSe her
as he did the naughty puppies; and when
she behaved herself well, he had always
barley meal pudding in his pocket for her.
But this was not all. He discovered
that piggy, like many other pigs, had
keen sense Of smell. She learned to scent
the game, and point at it for herself; but
not quite like dog. A pointer dog, when
he has found game, stands generally with
one of his forepaws held up till his mas
ter comes to him Piggy as soon as she
hare, or a rabbit, would drop on her
knees and so remain for five minutes if
necessary. Unfortunately, before her
schoolmaster had time TO teach her any
further accomplishments he died. His
widow sent piggy to a man, with whom
she lived for three years, But, alas,
piggy did not escape the common doom Of
pigs. In the end she was shut in a sty,
fattened and made into bacon as all her
ancestors had been before her,-Boston

WENT THROUGH MS POCKETS.
James Reeves Took on Too Much Circus

James Reeves Took on Too Much Circus
Booze and Went to Sleep in the Market.
Joseph Habersham, Thomas Lovett and
Thomas Maxwell, colored, are in the bar
racks on charge of robbery. They
were arrested yesterday morning by De-
tectives Bossell and Kavanaugh on
charges preferred by James Reeves, who
told a pretty blue story of dissipation and
visit to the circus.
Reeves spent his evening at the circus
and struck town early in the morning
with plenty aboard He got as far as
the market, found a snug corner and
went to sleep. There he claims the three
men mentioned came upon him and re-
leyed him of 1880 which he had in his
pocket, The complaint was made to
the barracks, and Detectives Bossel and
Kavanaugh were detailed on the case,
with the result that the arrest Of these
three men followed. The recorder will
likely decide this morning what there is
in their story.

DENMARK's LOT SALE.
Good Prices Realized for Property
There.

There was a very fair attendance at the
sale of lots at Denmark, S. c., yesterday.
The bidders came from all directions over
the three trunk lines which meet at that
point.
Fifty-fve lots were sold at prices rang
ing from $40 to Sos a lot
Mr.. Dorset, who was the auctioneer,
says the sale can be classed as remark
ably good considering the times and the
fact that 1t is too early in the season for
the country people to realize much cash
for their crops. The terms of the sale
were one-third cash and the balance in
six and twelve months with interest. This
may be considered as a good indication of
the real estate market.
Another sale takes place on Tuesday
Oct l6, at Fairfax, which is the junction
of the Florida Central and Peninsular
South Bound division, with the Port Royal
railroad.

Is 1t chemical affinity or geometrical

one person can fascinate many and so prove
an indefinite amount of chemical affinity or
q strangely complex geometrical arrange

This power of fascination plays an i'm
portant part in the lives of men and wom-
en-. Too often the effects are disastrous,

and righteous movements or of purer spirit

women of heroic mind to strengthen and
ennoble towards. This fascination, to

The demon lover" of the old poem was
but another true type Of the fatal power
which can be used by strong mind over q

what is love but fascination in its highest
sense and to the supremest degreeY If it
were not 90, how should such and such be
loved with all the fervor Of lifeY We see
honorable men fascinated into degradation
by an utterly unworthy woman-a woman
without heart, pity, sentiment or morality;
woman who knows no more of love than
she does of virtue. Yet she has the power
to attract, keep and ruin strong men and
noble lives. w see, on the other hand
women Of character and position who lose
themselves, body and soul, for some worth

to recommend him. Hateful to one, he is
fascinating to another, and the mystery
why remains unsolved and insoluble.
A wife clings to drunken, dissihated

is heroic, but from abject love-the doglike
love Of one hopelessly spbdued and fasci,

the scale OF human emotions. We havethis

Worked a Problem while Asleep.

An Amsterdam banker once requested a
professor of mathematics to work out a
very intricate and puzzling problem for
him. The'professor, thinking the matter
good exercise for the intellectual faculties
of his pupils, mentioned it to them and re-
quesred them to work out the enigma.
One of the students, who had opondered
deeply over the intricate subject during the
day, retired to bed. Sbme time afterward
he arose, dressed, and seating himself at
his desk worked out the problem accu-
rately, covering sheets of paper with his
calculations He had no recollection in the
morning Of having done so.--Boston Globe
