the maple sugar industry in the

will try to introduce it into his native
country, which has, he says, an abun.

The statement that child five and
half years of age would not have
more than one hundred and fifty
words in its vocabulary that it was
able to use understandingly, led q
careful mother to note for a month
the number OF words used by her
child. All the parts of speech used
were recorded, with the result that in
this case the child appeared to have a
vocabulary of 1928 words.

The Chinese trade unions can trace
their history back for more than 1000
years. The Chinaman does not dis.
euss with his employer what he is to
receive for the work he does; he sim
ply takes what he considers fair and
proper remuneration. He levies toll
on every transaction according to laws
laid down by his trade union, and
without for moment taking into
consideration what his employer may
consider proper. He is, therefore,

than any the police have been able to
impose.

breathless with astonishment.

with fiat split-basket of fresh-laid

This concluded the elections and the
crowd disappeared from the council cham
Der.
An invitation was received by the mayor
and aldermen, and through them the mil
itary of the city, to attend the Dixie IN
terstate fair in Macon on Oct. 81, which
has been designated as Savannah Day"
The clerk was instructed to acknowledge
the receipt of the invitation and to state
that a further reply would be made as
soon as possible.
An ordinance was introduced by Alder
man O'Brien to improve Drayton street,
from Bay to Broughton street, by paw
ing with shells, the cost to be assessed
as usual, one-thlrd by the real estate own
ers AUDITING on each side, and one-third
by the city.
Alderman O'Brien also introduced an
ordinance to improve Bryan street by
paving from Drayton to Abercorn street
with Belgian block.
The ordinances were read for the first
time and went over to the next meeting
Council took recess subject to the call of
the chair. 1t was 1880 o'clock when the
meeting adjourned.
A Morning News reporter was informed
that Aldermen Myers and Screven were
very warm in their expressions Of fndigna-
ton at what they considered the unfair
ness of the mayor in refusing to receive
Alderman Myers motion to reconsider the
second ordinance introduced by Mr.. Charl-
ton on the ground that it had already been
signed by him, and that the motion for re-
consideration was too late. The names of
a number of persons who were present,
and who stated their willingness to swear
that Alderman Myers motion was made
before Mayor McDonough attached his
signature to the ordinance were taken, the
purpose being to summon them as wit
nesses when the matter is taken to the
courts, as is understood to be the intention
of Alderman Myers and his supporters.
1t was learned after the adjournment of
council that the plan of Alderman My
ers was known to Mayor McDonough
and some of the other aldermen before
the meeting began, and the understand
ing was that Mayor McDonough should
attach his signature to the first ordin-
in order to head off the motion for re-
consideration. Mayor McDonough's pen
was poised above the paper when Alder
man Myers motion to reconsider was
made. His slowness was a surprise to
the aldermen who knew what was in
store. Had it not been for this delay
by the mayor the council would have been
deprived of the company of Aldermen
Myers and Screven a little earlier than
was the case.

TWO DRUGGISTS ROBBED.
A Sneak Thief and Burglar Does a Dar-
ing Job.

ing Job.
Some time between l o'clock and day
light yesterday morning a professional
sneak thief and burglar was standing on
the sidewalk on Broughton street, in
front of the drug store of w. B. Orear &
Co., quietly exercising his skill in remov-
ing from a window, which was just under
meath a staircase leading to the upper
story, pane of glass.
He had evidently posted himself and was
aware that the Broughton street police
man must be somewhere on the other end
of his beat. At any rate he worked on
unnoticed and undisturbed until he had
completed his job which was very neat
one. He cut out the pane Of glass in such
a manner that it would make very little
noise when he removed it, and crawled
through into the store.
Just across the street on the other side
was the sleeping apartment of Mr.. j. f.
Davis, the manager of the store. In the
room were Mr.. Davis and a friend, Mr..
]. d. Wacasser of Yonge's pharmacy. It
was Mr.. Davis night off, and he and Mr..
Wacasser went to the theater together.
They went to Mr.. Davis room about II 80
o'clock and retired and both slept soundly.
The door of Mr.. Davis room leading
into the store was open. Just inside 1t was
a chair on which Mr.. Wacassar had
placed his clothes, and on top of them
hung his dark necktie containing a hand
some diamond pin This probably at
tracted the thiefs attention when he first
approached the door, for this was the first
thing he removed. He then took the chair
up bodily and carefully carried it from
the room out into the store where he
made haste to take clothes and all and
skip.
When Mr.. Wacasser awoke in the morn
ing. he found himself minus a good suit
Of clothes, a 800 diamond, a good silver
watch, and S35, besides several mementoes
and relics which he priced highly and
which cannot be replaced. He borrowed
a suit of clothes from Mr.. Davis in which
to go to his room.
The thief must have worked very care
fully not to have awakened either of the
men in the room, and somebody was evil
IDENTIFY lacking in care when he effected
his entrance by working out a pane OF
glass. Mr.. Davis regretted exceedingly
that his friend should have had such a
misfortune while in his room. The matter
has been turned over to the police, but
there is no clew as to who committed the
theft
1t seems that the burglars in Savannah
have stopped using back yards and al
ley resorts through which to enter dwell
| lings and stores, and have, with increas.
ing boldness, been doing their work OF
late right on the street, and that too un.

must feel that they are not watched OF

Danrers of Bad WINTER.

Five and twenty years ago, during
most fatal epidemic of typhoid in the
west of England, l had to assist the
government inspector in tracing its
cause to it's source, and the result was
most conclusively esta blished as due to
impure water. The supply of water as
it entered the town was pure, but in
many houses the water closets were
supplied by the same pipe and cistern
as the water for drinking purpose. AS
the water was turned off during the
night to prevent waste, the pipes
emptied and subsequently became
filled with air poisoned by the foul
gases from the closets, and when the
town water was turned on in the
morning it rapidly absorbed the pois-
onous air in the pipes. The outcome
was that those houses supplied from
this source were decimated by an cpl
demic of typhoid. In those cases where
the inhabitants got their water from
wells it was found that they escaped,
unless, as in many instances, they pro-
cured milk from the shops supplied
with the tainted water. The whole
problem worked out like a sum in
