Tourists Rates Now On.

The tourist rates now prevailing at
Hicks restaurant warrant the assertion
that Savannah will have more visitors this
season than ever before. Tourists have
found out that the menu at Hicks is bet
ter than the average "a a day hotel. and
they are coming to Savannah to stay
Hicks Will arrange for at least 900 rooms
to accommodate them, and then, with
living at Hicks, the tourists life
will be happy one. Hicks cares for more
people than all the restaurants in the city
combined, and besides he has the only
first-class establishment here. The intro
duction of pure milk and butter for restau-
rant use is a novel feature in Savannah
and Hicks deserves all the credit for H.

Receptions Held Nearly Every Eve

The gay and festive season has come.
The time for dinner parties and banquets
has arrived. Nearly every evening, some
popular host entertains with a sumptuous
repast. All the pleasure to be derived
from these entertainments is brought out
in the intermingling of society and the
enjoyment OF well-prepared delicacies.
Prominent among those to be congratu-

dishes is the caterer who furnishes the ex-

THE MAYOR TO THE POLICE.
THEY WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR
ANY SALOONS OPEN TO-DAY.

The Mayor Notifies Them That the
Sunday Law Must BE Enforced, and
If Any Bar Rooms Are Found Open
and Not Reported, the Omcer I'm the
Precinct where the Violation Oc-
CURED VIII Be Subject to Dismissal
From the Force.
1t is safe to say that to-day will be a
quiet Sunday in police circles. and thar
travel to Thunderbolt will revive.
Mayor Myers has issued orders to the
police more far reaching than any YET
issued with regard to Sunday liquor sell
ing, and judging by the tone of the order
there can be no doubt that the mayor
means what he says.
The mayor visited police headquarters
last night, and went into Chief McDer-
motifs private Office. where he had long
conference with the chief. When the chief
came out he announced that there was
another order out on the Sunday liquor
question. 1t reads as follows:
Numerous complaints have been made
to me recently by our law-abiding clti-
zens, and it has also been intimated
through the public press that you are
not doing your duty in enforcing the or
uAAldliN6 llt SAFE OF I,
or barrooms being open on Sunday. Your
chief has no doubt conveyed to you my
orders and wishes. that this ordinance
must be strictly enforced without fear
or favor. / now desire to inform you
that l shall hold each officer responsible
for the precinct he guards, as to the strict
enforcement of the ordinance, and if any
barrooms are found open on Sunday, not
reported by the officer who guards the
precinct in which said barrooms may be
located, he lays himself liable to be
promptly dismissed for negligence of
duty. hope you will, therefore, do you
duty and carry out my wishes"
The order will be read to the detail
which goes on duty this morning and also
TO the afternoon detail. This order is
likely to be of effect because the police
man who permits saloons to remain open
IN his district is likely to get into trouble
II somebody else makes a report of the
matter. The first result of the order will
be, of course, to make the saloon keepers
more guarded in their movements and
the back doors will be carefully guarded
to-day. The saloon keepers who persist
in selling on Sunday will do so very
quietly.

TO SHUT UP POLICY SHOPS.
The Police Put the PrOprietOrs on
Notice to Quit.

Notice to Quit.
It looks as if the policy shops are to go
at last. The police have begun a concert
ed movement against them acting under
orders Of the mayor issued through the
chief.
The policy shop evil has been a growing
one for some time and the shops have
spread all over the city. A large portion
of the earnings of the negro population
and of great many poor white people as
well, is spent in these shops.
The companies" which conduct the bus
mess are owned and controlled by white
men, but the business is conducted through
colored employees, offices" being opened
up in different parts of the city There is
a big profit in the business for the white
gamblers who operate 1t and that is the
reason the shops spring up so quickly as
soon as the law let's up on the business.
Chief McDermott estimates that there
are not less than so of these shops or Of
fees scattered throughout the city. They
are not confined to any one section. Near
ly that many were reported by the police
last night, as the result of one afternoon 5
work. Policeman Shea reported ten shops
in Magazine ward, and the number re-
ported by other officers in other precincts
of the "Old Fort brought the number re-
ported in that districtsto twice that num-
Der. Policeman Norris reported nine shops
closed in. his precinct, mostly in Yan1a-
many more in that section.
No arrests were made. The policemen
who went out on the afternoon detail
were simply instructed to go to every
shop In their respective districts and no
tify the parties conducting it to close
up at once and not to open up again
under penalty of arrest Under the dis
trict system the officers are familiar with
the locations of all the shady places in
their districts, and they did not have
to make any hunt to find the Offices. They
knew where they were. Most of them
are located in the lanes. At least half
dozen were closed in Bay street lane
and as many more in Congress street
lane.
Saturday is big day with the lottery
companies, some having two drawings
on that day, and a several places visited
the drawing was in progress when the
police arrived. In one or two instances
the managers were permitted to finish
their drawings, but in the majority of
cases the Offices were closed at once.
The proprietors or managers were in
formed that the police had orders to
keep these places closed, and that they
must not open up again. If this order
is continued in force the lottery business
will be pretty well knocked out.

MATILDA TO BE BAPTIZED.
Pastor Jones VIII Hold Services on
the Canal To-day.


Porter Jones of the Zion Hill Baptist
church, colored, who has acquired some
prominence recently through Matilda
Johnson's remarkable revelations of the
future life, will baptize Matilda and some
others of the flock in the Ogeechee canal
at the foot of Bay street, at noon to-day
Pastor Jones is a believer in demonstra-
tons, and Matilda will deliver a lecture
under his direction, on the canal bank
just before the baptismal ceremony. She
has been talking of her travels ever since
she came through, he says.
on the 22nd of every month, she was
told in the spirit world, that she
must eXhort the wicked in the Zion Hill
church and accordingly next week. she
will open fire on Satan's minions. Her ey-
hortation on the canal bank to-day will
be a sort OF preliminary TO her regular
campaign.
Parson Jones says Matilda will have
some wonderful things to relate, ana he
is anxious that everybody shall hear what
she has to say.
