smith Put on for a Day.
The case against George Cook and John
Goldsmith. both colored. who We're arrest
ed for trying to dispose of a beef, which
is believed to have been stolen, was con-
tinued in police court yesterday for
further investigation.
Smith, who was arrested yesterday
morning, is believed to have been the
principal thief. It was he who brought
the beef to the market Saturday in his
wagon and tried to dispose of it. He Of
fered it to a butcher named Gill for 5
cents pound and later dropped to 3
cents. This made Mr.. GIL suspicious and
ne informed Clerk of the Market Gardner.
Inc latter reported TO Policeman Grim
MINIS and McCOol. Gill went to Cold
smlth ana told him that he would take
the peer at cents, instructing the negro
70 take IL TO his place at Sims and West
brOad streets, of which he informed the
polcemen. Goldsmith had gotten suspi-
clous, however, and before taking the
beer 10 Mr.. Gill he tried to dispose of it to
several other parties in the Robertsville
section He finally drove up TO Mr. GilIs
shop with the beef and Went inside to get
his money. Policeman Crimmins arrived
ABOUT the same time and seeing the wagon
$hd peer, but no negro. started to look
Iof me latter. Goldsmith came back
presently and hearing there was an officer
looking for him. made off at once leaving
the wagon behind. Policeman Crmmins
LOOK the wagon and beef to the barracks.
Late in the day Goldsmith's wife and
daughter turned up al the barracks and
stated that woman had come out to
their place near the race track and told
them that their wagon was at the bar
racks They said they had rented the
wagon to butcher in the market by the
name of Cook the night before, but that
they did not know anything about the
beef which he was to bring to town in it.
On this statement they were allowed to
take the horse and wagon.
COOK when arrested charged Goldsmith
with being the party who brought the
beef to the market and the latter was ar
rested. There was very little evidence
against Goldsmith in court and the recor-
der was about to discharge him when he
was informed by Policeman McCool that
Goldsmith answered the description given
him by Mr.. GIL of the negro who had the
beef for sale. Gill was not in court The
case was continued for the purpose of Sc
curing his presence.

BURDETT's TwICE-TOLD TALE.
His Lecture Before the savannah
Lyceum Tonight

His Lecture Before the savannah
Lyceum Tonight.
Mr.. Robert J. Burdette, one of America s
best known humorists, will open the Sa-
vannah Lyeeum course of entertainments
tonight with his remarkable lecture.
"A Twice-told Tale or the Rise and
Fan of the Mustache" There are few.
if any, lecturers on the platform which
have so great a hold on the people, A
lecture by Burdette is certain to draw a
crowd. 1t doesn't make much difference
what kind Of night it may be, nor
what may be the subject Of the discourse.
people always go to hear him talk Peo-
pie take him on the principle that they
cant have too much of a good thing. It
is impossible to disguise the genial soul
of this man even under well known
pharases. His lecture in It's outward form
may grow old but the heart of the man
never will. That appears to be as young
many who know him that he Couldn't
get old If he tried.
Mr. Burdette has changed considerably
in the past few years. He has grown
broader and stouter. He has filled ouf
his clothes, so to speak. But he is the
same kindly, genial, irresponsible humor-
infectious as ever, Mr.. Burdette talks
rapidly, and easily, and the audience
has scarcely time for breath between
laughs The speaker himself seems to
enjoy his fun as thoroughly as everyone
else. He speaks in an off-hand i'm
prOmptu manner, with odd little ges-
lures and pastures, and one insensibly
feels, while listening to him, a sense Of
unconventional familiarity with the
speaker. That is not the least of his
charms. Those who hear him tonight
will hardly fail to appreciate this fact.
Without anticipating the lecture. its
thorough enjoyment may be predicted
with certainty.

II. The Chicago boys played in Gal
weston against the Louisvilles and it is
that Louisville did the best playing, in
spite of the fact that they lost the game
at the opening of the game. Luby was
in the box and the third inning the score
stood IA to Q in favor of Chicago, but
McCloskey replaced Luby with McDer-
mott, who was puzzle to the Colts. Had
Terry been put in the box in the early
part Of the game Louisville would have
won easily. AS it was they came near
batting out victory in the windup. Crit
fith's pitching was commendable and had
not Arson replaced him with Terry, An
son would have had walk over. Louis

TIME WAS WASTED.

1t seems that Secretary Gresham is not
absolutely insensible to criticism or in
capable of instruction. If the spirit in
which he acts and the methods which he
adopts were less habitually those of pet
tifogging practitioner, his mental vision
wider and his self-suficiency less, if he
was less dominated by determination
to stand so intensely upright as to lean
backwards, he would he would have COM
municated to the Spanish government his
protest against the firing on the Alliancia
and the attendant insult to the American
flag just as soon as the report of Cap
tain Crossman had brought the matter
to his knowledge. 1t was his right and
his duty to assume that the statements
contained in that report were truthful
and accurate. and to have acted upon
that assumption. 1t was not necessary
for him or his subordinates acting under
his inspiration to waste time in securing
reiteration under oath of Captain Cross
mans allegations, while for him to ex-
press doubt as to the discretion of the cap
tain's conduct in the matter was still
more uncalled for.-Philadelphia North

UNPRECEDENTED ACTIVITY.

OF all the quick surrenders to popular
sentiment in the history of the state de-
partment, there has been nothing to equal
the action in the Alliancia affair. The
almost unprecedented activity following
all the dilly-dallying and delay shows that
public sentiment, as expressed in the
newspapers, had come down upon the
department with a force that makes the
smile of thousand bricks utterly made
quate. What did the state department
do? Under date of March II Captain
Crossman wrote to Secretary Gresham.
1t reached the department March 10.
That very day the British ambassador
had asked for an explanation from our
government on an affair not II hours old.
But the state department, insetad of
accepting the written word of an Ameri-
can captain, sent back for affdavits, and
then finding that public sentiment was
getting very warm and fearing the conse-
Quences, FASTENED the cablegram off with
out waiting for the said atiidavits. 1t is
perfectly well known that the Spanish
officers, when clothed with a little au-
thority, disregard laws and violate agree
ments in order to show that they have
authority. Because they believe that the
Cuban rebellons are Matched and sup
ported by Cubans living in this country,
they are especially fond of annoying our
vessels. For these reasons, and for the
further reason that the troubles down
there may continue some time, it was es-
pecjally desirable that the state depart
ment should have acted with more of
the true American spirit-Baltimore

MAKES PURE BLOOD.
The Verdict of the Medical Faculty of
the Surgical Hotel

That Pe-ru-na makes pure blood is a
fact beyond dispute or argument. But
| just how Pe-ru-na makes pure blood has,
been recently discussed by the medi-
cal staff of the renowned Surgical Hotel.
The general conclusion put INTO common
words is about as follows
That during the winter an excess of nu-
triton is required by the system to keep
up the temperature of the body. This
causes people to eat more, especially of
animal foods. than at other seasons.
Consequently in the spring there has ac-
cumulated in the blood more or less effete
matter which must be got rid of. This is
especially true of people who have been
troubled more or less during the winter
with catarrh, colds or Ia grippe. Such
people are sure to find themselves in the
spring in need of a blood purifier and
tonic. Pe-ru-na purifes the blood by ex-
polling from it the effete accumuations
Of winter. 1t tones up the nervous 'sys-
TEN and equalizes the circulation of the
blood in all parts of the body. This is the
verdict of the medical profession. The most
common symptoms are tired-out feelings,
nervousness, depression, debility, languor
and a continual sense of WEAKNESS. To
such people a bottle of Pe-ru-na is worth
its weight in gold.
The Pe-ru-na Drug Manufacturing Co.,
of Columbus, Ohio, are offering free,
postpaid. two medical books, one on ca
tarrh aind catarrhal diseases, the other
on spring medicines and spring diseases.
These books contain the very latest and
most reliable information in these i'm
portant subjects.

Captain English and Messrs. Venable and

recognition was evidenced by the fact
that these gentlemen voted in the afTirma-
