CHRISTMAS IS COMING.
and Old Look Forward TO it
With Equal Interest.

Twas the night before Christmas,
All was still in the house"
The young folks are. of course. on tip
toe of expectation as to Christmas posi-
bilities, and the older folks are not whit
behind them in anticipation, though they
may not acknowledge it. 1t is not in hu-
man nature to be otherwise than graft
fed by unexpected remembrance at this
most cherished of seasons, and though
they may ''pish" and "tush" and bah"

win I get for father" or mother" or
husband" or other dear one is now the
absorbing question, and when we suggest
the Sternberg Jewelry Company for a
solution of the difficulty, we feel that
we are performing meritorious service
There are so many pretty things in a
large and first class jewelry establishment
that 1t is astonishing how soon one may
arrive at a happy determination, and at
q very reasonable expenditure. too.
Dainty silver knick-knacks, lovely vases
watches, clocks bronzes, onyx stands
diamonds, diamond and gold jewelry
rings, fine silk umbrellas, with elegant
handles. sterling silverware, the very
best plated silverware, and hun
dreds of other suitable articles, so low

a CRAZY MAN N CHURCH.
The Police Take Demented Sailor
From the Cathedral


John Franks, a German sailor. was ar
rested In the Cathedral of St. John the
Baptist yesterday morning in a demented
condition. The janitress who saw him
enter the cathedral noticed that he acted
very strangely. She saw him going from
one image to another apparently praying.
A message was sent to the police bar
racks and Oficers GOdbold and Fay were
sent down and arrested the man. Papers
We're found on him showing that he had
worked as fireman on several tramp
steamships, and that he had been dis
charged with certificates Of good charac-
ter in each case. His last discharge was
dated at Garston, England an October
last, from the British ship Banyan.
Franks is supposed 10 have come to Sa-
Vannah recently on one Of the tramp
steamers. He applied at d. Oetten's gro
Gerry on Price street yesterday morning
for work. Mr.. Oetjens finding that the man
was from the same town in Hanover, as
himself, set him to work cleaning up the
place. He noticed that the man acted
rather queerly and appeared TO be sick.

Mr.. Oetjens stated at the barracks that
he thought Franks had lost his mind tenn

THEY HAVE NO AUTHORITY.
The Commissioners Cannot Reduce
Assessments Made by the Tax Re-
ceIver.

The CommfssiOners Cannot Reduce
Assessments Made by the Tax Re-
ceiver.
The Savannah Cottage and Improve
ment Company is somewhat puzzled as 10
what steps 20 take with reference to hav-
ing the assessments on. its property west
of the city reduced. II Will be remembered
that application was made to the grand
jury Of the superior court with regard to
the matter a day or two ago, the claim
being made that the tax receiver had put
the assessments too high.
The grand jury passed an order recon-
mending that the county commissioners
reduce the assessments, though Capt.
John r. Dillon, the tax receiver, stated
that he had made them on the basis OF
reports from holders Of bonds for title
from the company. who said they had
been charged taxes on the amounts for
which he had returned the property. IL
appears the commissioners have no
right 10 take any action in the matter,
but the controller general Is the only au-
thOrity through whom a reduction of the
assessments can be secured.
The controller general, IL IL understood,
has refused to grant the company y pc
tition, and its only recourse now seems
to be a request 10 The controller from the
tax receiver, recommending a change in
the figures. The company, IL is said, has
been figuring on getting such a request,
but 50 far has been unable to do so, on
account Of the fact that no agreement has
been reached as to what amounts the
property should be assessed for.
The recommendation from the superior
court grand jury, however, does not APP
pear to have given the relief sought for.
Mr.. j. r. Saussy. the county attorney,
has advised the commissioners that they
have no authority to act IN the matter,
and that the only authority in such cases
is the controller general OF the state.
