One more day of shopping,
and the rush will be over. Just
one word for this last day. We
have wired two factories for
Banquet Lamps and Tables !;
and they will be here MON
DAY. The demand has ex-
hausted our supply; and if our
prices we're not lower than
other dealers, this would not
have been the case. As it is
in this line, so is it in all others.
When you buy China and
Glass you want to be sure that
you are getting it good; and
a regular dealer in this line
knows his business and you feel safe
in buying of Linn. Then remember
that on this coming Monday you want
to flush up your shopping with US.
Look us over, we have bargains left
yet; and you can secure them. 1fyou
have been to Washington looking
round, then we especially invite you to
come in and compare with our prices.
You will be surprised when you do
this, to find we are offering the uery best
as low as the Cheap-Johns offer their
odds and ends.

The Grent Tobacco war.

Many of our readers know of the war
existing between the manufacturers of
plug chewing tobacco, but few, perhaps,
are familiar with the cause.
For years some manufacturers have
been making enormous profits by giving
consumers a small piece of plug for ten
cents. Recently a very large manufae-
turer, seeing that the time had come for
better things, has placed a new brand
called Battle AK on the market, which
gives the consumer a very large piece of
most excellent quality for the same price.
This has raised a great storm among
those who are hurt by it, but ii gives Joy
to those who use the goods. In Battle
AK they get a greater quantity for their
money, while the quality is equal to the
finest of other brands. This has natu-
rally had the effect of greatly decreasing
the business of those who have held to the
old way, and Ii has materially curtailed
their enormous profits. On the other
hand Battle AK now taxes the resources
of three large factories, which, by run
ming night and day, are still unable to
make the goods fast enough to satisfy
the enthusiastic demand.
The people want a good thing and the
most of 1T that they can get for the price
The manufacturers who do the best by
them will get their trade. Their rivals
naturally do not like ii. They raise a
mighty howl, but the AK will cut them
dOWn.-ad.

THE Y. NJ. C. AS NEW YEARS.
Preparations for the Associations |
Annual Reception.

AS is customary, the Young Mems
Christian Association will have its annual
New Years reception on New Years day
from 5 o'clock until II p m.
The ladies' of the auxiliary who have
in past years furnished such tempting re-
freshments, are going to even try and
surpass their former efforts, and those
who are invited to enjoy these delightful
refreshments will have something to look
forward to.
The musical programme, which also
forms a very important part on these
occasions, is being looked after by the re-
ception committee of the association. The
best talent that can be secured will be
heard during the evening
In addition to this the gymnasium COM
mittee is in correspondence with Dr. VIII
liam G. Anderson of the Yale University
gymnasium, who is considered one of the
leading authorities on gymnastics to de-
liver his lecture on Gymnastics, illus
trated by a number of lantern slides. This
lecture last year was delivered in Wash
ington. Louisville. Nashville and other
cities. The object of the lecture is to
create interest in the subject and it is
said that II Is not too technical but
rather on the popular side.

THE MUNICIPAL OFFICE BILL.
The Latitude II Allows in Appoint
ing Aldermen TO Onces.

A certified copy of the Monroe bill was
received yesterday by Clerk Manucy Of
the city council. The bill is important as
bearing upon the appointment of Alder
man Willink as public works commission
er, and, perhaps the appointment of other
aldermen to places on the several commits
sions to be created shortly.
Previous to the passage of this bill q
general state law prohibited the election
or appointment of aldermen to any mu-
nicipal position during the term of Office
TO which they were elected The Monroe
bill amends the law so that aldermen are
eligible to appointment by the mayor
conditional upon their resigning If the APP
The bill has never been published here.
Section / amends section / of the orig
nal act so that it now reads as follows:
BE IL enacted by the general assembly
of Georgia and IL is hereby enacted by
authority of the same. That from and at
ter the passage of this act the councifmen
and aldermen of the towns and cities Of
this state shall be incompetent to hold,
except in towns of less than 1000 inhab-
uants, any other municipal office in said
towns and cities during the time for which
they are chosen: Provided that nothing
herein contained shall apply to any munic-
ipal office which is to be filled by appoint
ment by the mayor. Provided further
that nothing in this act shall be so con-
strued as to allow one person to hold more
than one municipal office at any one time,
Dut any councilman OF alderman ap-
pointed during his term of office to any
other municipal Office shall resign his DO
sition as councilman or alderman before
he shall be eligible to enter upon the du-
ties of the appointed office"
The amendment as first introduced allow
ed aldermen and councilmen to hold DO
sitions appointive by the mayor This
would have enabled Mayor Myers to APP
point members of the board to positions on
the several commissions to which no sala-
ry attaches, as was intended. This would
have kept the commissions in touch with
the act in this shape, however, and it was
necessary TO amend it as stated to secure
its passage.

CAN USE THE SIDEWALKS.
Merchants May Display Their Goods
Within Reasonable Limits.

The retail dealers have been worrying
somewhat because they We're under the
impression that the city ordinances pro-
hibit the display and sale of goods on
the sidewalks in front of their places of
business, and there has been some talk
of a petition to council for exemption
from the ordinance during the Christmas
shopping.
This Is unnecessary. The ordinance
provides that from Dec. to 25 dealers
may make displays of their wares in front
of their places Of business upon condition
that the space occupied by such displays
does not exceed two and One-half feet
from store TO sidewalk and not exceed
ing three feet from the curb toward the
street, but no goods or boxes must be
left on the pavement after s o'clock p.
m.
Mr.. Manuey looked up the ordinance
yesterday. The wording of the ordinance
Is not quite clear, but the meaning evil
IDENTIFY, according to the clerk, is that
dealers must not take up more than 2l5
feet space on the sidewalk, counting
from the wall of the building, and that
in placing displays on the street they are
allowed TO take up three feet, counting
from the curbstone out into the street
This will hardly work on the narrow
streets, though Any way, the dealers
are at liberty to go ahead and makC,-Ais-
plays In front of their places of bust
ness. provided they do not obstruct the
paVementS.

NO CHANGE OF PROCEDURE.
Central Railroad InterventiOns to he
Attended to as Provided.

Attended to as Provided.
On the application Of the clerk, Mr. H.
II. King, Of the circuit court of the United
States for the eastern division of the
southern district Of Georgia, Judge Emory
Speer has just issued certain instructions
with regard TO the procedure in certain
cases or interventions IN the Central rail-
road litigation.
The order Of oct. 10, 1895. was construed
TO mean that all claims of whatever
character against the receivers of the
Central Railroad and Banking Company
were to be referred to Mr. George w
Owens as standing master, and 1t was
understood by some Of those interested
that this vacated all other orders of ref
erence- With regard to this matter the
order states:
TT was not inteded by his honor the
circuit judge to give to the disposition of
this litigation other direction than that
heretofore given by the court. nor to in
terfere with the right of litigants to bring
suit or Intervention for claims against
the receivers, conformably to law. There
is, however, a certain class of cases where
judgments had been obtained not against
the receivers but against the Central Rail-
road and Banking Company of Georgia
on claims and causes of action not relat-
ing TO the conduct of the receivership,
but to the conduct Of the corporation be-
fore the receivership was created. 1t was
sought by attorneys representing these
claims to subject to their payment GER
tain real estate of the Central Railroad
and Banking Company of Georgia, which,
II is alleged, was not pledged TO secure
the mortgage Indebtedness, and which,
therefore, was not sold under the decree
providing for a sale above mentioned
These claims were referred
by the decree of Oct. 19, 1895, to George w.
Owens, Esq, standing master, and tho
decree requires that all such claims
should be presented 10 the master on or
before Feb. 10, 1886. AS stated this does
rot relate TO claims against the receivers,
or which resulted from the management
of the properties while in their control.
The disposition of cases-of the latter class
have already been provided for by suitable
orders Of reference of Sept. 3, 1893. which
are yet of force. These instructions are
given after conference upon the subject
with his honor the circuit judge
1t will be seen from this that all claims
against the receivers themselves that
have originated since the receivership are
10 be referred TO the special masters ap-
pointed for the purpose just as provided
for in the order of Sept. 5. 1898. The or
der of Oct. 5, 1895. refers only to such
claims as are in. existence against the
property before it went into the hands
of the receivers. and which IL is held
should constitute liens on certain prop
erty not included in the general mort
gage.

NO TROUBLE TO RAISE FUNDS.
The Organization Of the Military In
terstate Association Assured.

The Organization Of the Military In
terstate Association Assured.
There was. an enthusiastic and highly
satisfactory meeting Of the steering com
mittee Of the Military Interstate Associa-
ton Of Savannah, now in process of or
ganization, at the Guards armory last
night.
One member of the committee reported
that he had, after a casual discussion of
the matter since last Friday night, with
twelve prominent gentlemen, secured sub
scriptions to the capital stock of the as
ISOLATION TO the extent of 5000 or $500
Tor each of them. These are actual bona
nue. SUBSCRIPTIONS to the capital stock
secured by one member of the committee
Unaided.
The members of the committee, after
looking over the field, stated it as their
belief that there would be no trouble
whatever in raising the requisite amount
practically without soliciting any subscrip-
tons whatever. In fact, those interested
absolutely refuse TO go into it on a basis
OF soliciting subscriptions, as has been
done in the case of the May week celebra-
lions that have been given heretofore.
me stockholders who go into this pro-
posed association will do so on the IN
derstanding that it is a business venture
and one which promises to yield dividends
OF from 10 to 70 per cent. each year. In case
there is anything above such an amount
as may be decided upon for a dividend. it
Will go towards increasing the advant-
ages for the celebration to be given the
succeeding year.
The proposed plan has already been
generally outlined in the columns of the
Morning News, and of course so far moth
ing definite has been done as to details.
The $1,000 and the 800 prizes offered for
uhe military rifle contests, together with
the possibility of other similar prizes be-
ing offered, have gone long way toward
encouraging those who have taken hold
OF the plan, and have given them a solid
basis on which to work
The subscription of S. 900 to the capital
stock Of the proposed association has
done more than this; it has practically
assured the event almost with certainty.
1t is expected besides the prizes above
mentioned to give away $4,000 In prizes
TO military companies and teams for the
different contests in which entries will lie
asked so that there Will be no doubt
about getting the best military talent
here from many sections of the country.
The business men of Savannah gener-
ally and all citizens who are interested
in the work ahead of the proposed assO-
citation are most cordially invited to
meet in Company AS rooms at the
Guards arm0ry on Friday night when the
proposed plan of the association both
with regard to organization and to the
entertainment to be given will be fully
explained.

the Breaking of a King Bolt.

Mr. John f. Walsh was thrown from a
wagon at Bull and CASTOR streets yester-
