A LONG LIFE OF THIEvERY.
Sylvia Jackson Again on Her Way t,
the Chain Gang.

the Chain Gang.
Sylvia Jackson, who has figured in the
courts and on the chain-yang for the last
fifteen years as an all round thief, is again
on her way to her old place. She was
captured in Mr.. M. L. Exley's cabbage
field yesterday morning after a hard tus-
S g, and was landed in the po-
lice barracks Recorder Wilson gave
reman led her to Jail to await the action
OF the city court grand jury.
Sylvia is an old offender. She is a
withered up old woman, probably not far
from fifty years old, and has been a thief
ever since she was big enough to steal
She has done service on the chain-gang
for nearly dozen crimes
AMI is regular habitue of
the police court. Some years ago, while
serving out a sentence she feigned sick
and was sent to the convict hospital. In
day of two she died and was taken to
the dead house. While a coffin was being
got for her she climbed out of q window
and escaped.
Some time ago she was caught stealing
on MIR. T. a. EXley's farm. The watch
man shut her up in a storehOuse, and left
a guard with her. During the night the
guard fell lasleeD. On awakeninghe looked
into the room where sylvia was su y
POSED to be. She had taken OF ner
clothes and dressed up a potato barrel as
dummy. A search was made for her,
and she was found in a hole under the
floor OF an adjoining guauO shed. IL took
three men to pull her out. She had
started TO dig her way out
of the storehouse, but had dug
under the guano shed, and came
up under the hoor, on which were several
carloads of fertilizer. She was sent to The
chain-gang, but escaped.
LasJ fall she was shot while stealing
potatoes in nearly the same locality that
she was arrested in before. Her wounds, it
was first thought were fatal, but she re-
covered in a short time and went to steal
ing again, and has been stealing ever
since. The truck farmers west
OF the city have been on the lookout for
her for the last two months, but were un-
able to catch her.
Early yesterday morning the watch
man on Mr.. EXley's farm caught sight Of
her in a field. She saw the watchman at
the same time, and started to run The
watchman pursued her, and fired both
| barrels of his gun over her head to
frighten her, but she was not to
be frightened. Dropping his gun, he
chased her across the field, down n lane,
and through a wire fence, until he finally
caught her. She was handcufed and
brought to the city. The police knew her
at once, although she refused to give her
name, and would not open her mouth.
Her chances for full term on the chain
gang are good
Sylyia's husband quit her nearly
ten years ago. because, he said,
she stole everything she could
get her hands on, and kept him in trouble
all the time. The truck farmers are
anxious that she shall be disposed of for
as long q sentence as her olense viii JUS
tify. Mr.. Exley says she has stolen
enough from his place alone to have paid
for herself as slave, ana half dozen
other farmers are equally as great losers
by her depredations

COMMON SENSE TRUTHS.

An Able Physician Explains the After
Effects of Grip, the Condition in Which
1t Leaves People, and the Only Thing
To Do
1t Is very slow process"
The speaker was a prominent physician.
Continuing he said:
i mean getting over the after effects OF the
grip. Any one who has seen as much Of II as
nave can easily understand it. The grip lasts
Ior long time, ana seems to take a special
hold upon the system. 1t frequently runs into
pneumonia, sometimes leaves the hearing
partially impaired. the throat with an irritat
lng soreness, anl the stomach with impaired
ulgestlon. 1t seems to take a long time to re-
cover the strength. the energy, or the ambi-
tlon after one has had run OF the grip. and
we frequently find neuralgia, rheumatism
and even worse things following 1t.
Now, what should any sensible man or
woman DO undera these circumstances: The
answer seems hard but Is really easy. Sim
ply help Nature to get over the trouble
stimulate the body and faculties Just a little
1 his IS what every good physician in the land
advocates IN order to drive grip out OF the
system. 1t should he remembered, however
that the stimulant must be pure, and that
nothing Tor this purl ose is eIual to good
whiskey. 1t is unfortunate however. that
there is so little pure medicinal whiSkey to
lie found and. in fact, il "a he truly said
that theTe is bat one strictly medicinal
whlskey upon the market, and that is Duffy S
Pure Malt. 1T is not like ordinary whiskey
however much druggists and groeers may say
so. II has in fact, properties possessed by
no other, and is beyond question a stimulant
which can safely and edsctuallg be taken to
prevent the grip or drive away its most dis
aStrOUS after effects"

AT THE THEATER.
The Crust Of Society" Makes Gem
ufne Hit


"The Crust of Society" the English
version of Dumas "Demi-Monde." was
the attraction at the theater last night.
1t is the story of an adventures who
wanted TO lead better life, and whose
object was to marry an honest man. The
motive Of the play teaches that good
man should marry none but good
woman. Society is handled without
gloyes-not that society of genteel breed
ing and culture, but the society that
leads a dual life.
1t was brilliant production Of an in
tensely strong play by a company of
merit. Miss Elita Proctor Otis, who
played the role of Mrs Chapel" ." tho
fascinating widow who never had hus-
band, but most shady past. was at her
best. Miss Otis portrays the role OF a
society leader and adventures with re-
markable force and skill. She has q most
attractive face and superior figure, which
blend most harmoniously with her fin
ishcd acting
The entire company is excellent, and
last night added fresh laurels TO those it
had already won.
Miss Nelson, as Violet was most
pleasing, natural, unaffected, and com
pletely won the hearts of the large and
sympathetic audience.
Ledie Tilbury, who it is said, is a
daughter of Lydia Thompson, was very
fascinating as Mrs. Echo" Her STAGE
appearance is charming and her manner
irresistible
At the end of the second and
last acts the company responded to the
enthusiastic applause and curtain calls.
The ending of the play was cleverly
handled. Instead of dying as perhaps
the majority of the audience thought
Mrs. Chapel" would do, after having
played all hcc cards to win in London
society and having lost at every turn,
she lights cigarette and smiling says
We'll, ! am going to Paris Which
means atout as much, but leaves more
pleasant IMPRESSION

POLICEMAN NEvE's FAMILY.
The Morning News Suggests a Sub
scription for Their Assistance.

The Morning News Suggests a Sub
seription for Their Assistance.
There is no nobler death than that
which befalls man while in the dis
charge Of his duty. Policemen are the
watchful guardians of the lives and prop
erty of their fellow citizens. They are
constantly exposing themselves to danger,
and now and then one of them sacrifices
his life in serving the public.
J.C. Neve, one of the bravest and most
efficient members of Savannah's police
force, was shot to death Saturday by a
worthless negro, a fugitive from justice,
whom he had been ordered to arrest.
A widow and young children mourn for
him. They have been deprived not only
of one who was dear to them, but also of
a protector and their sole source of sup
port.
They should not be permitted to suffer
from want, Policeman Neve did not hesi-
tate to risk his life to protect the interests
of the people of Savannah, and they
should not hesitate to extend helping
hand to those who were dependent upon
him.
On the suggestion of the Morn
ING News the mayor has ap-
pointed a committee to solicit sub
scriptions from Savannah's citizens to
fund to aid Mrs. Neve and her children.
Those who wish to contribute to the fund
at once can send their names with the
amounts they wish to give to the MORN
ING News, and their subscriptions will be
acknowledged in the columns of this
paper. Sums for small amounts, fractions
of 81, will be received and acknowledged
