Prof. Samuels has demonstrated to
the satisfaction of all those that he has
been treating that his plan is the only
right one.
"The business that l am engaged in"
said Prof. SamuePs to JoURNALrepor-
ter today, "Is the most abused of
any profession. / can only compare it
to piano music. Everybody can play a
piano. l can readily say that it is the
most abused instrument there is. Every
one can drum at it But how few can
really play it? The world has but very
few expert piano players 1t is the same
with my profession Most any one can
be an optician. All he has to do is to
lay in stock Of spectacles and put out
sign. Any one can be taught to play
pieces on the piano in a month. So it
is in optics. One month is all they need
and they really think they are qualified.
In my opinion they are honest. But on
the other hand, if they only knew the
injury they are doing they would quit
and go into other business. 1 have been
engaged twenty five years in nv pro
fession, and can frankly say that I have
yet great deal to learn"

ton Not Likely 10 lie Tai<en-The
BuiIdine of the sLidaway Dridge

Chain-Gang Matters Again.
The meeting Of the county commission
ers tomorrow viii be one OF unusual in
terest. as in fact it seems, has been the
case with the last two or three meetings
they have held
The principal and most important mat
ter viii be the report OF the committee
on roads and bridges in the matter OF
the Vernon shell road. The committee was
requested TO see Mr.. ID. y. Lester. the
principal owner Of the road, and learn on
what terms it can be secured. Mr.. Lester
told Chairman Dale some Gays ago that he
would sell the road to the county outright
for $1,000 or he agreed to have It ap-
praised by representatives both of the
company and the county, and said ne
would accept the price thus fixed, allow
ing the county TO pay for the road on the
installment plan.
The commissioners may not take any
decisive action in the matter at this meet
ing, but they will discuss it and a good
idea of their policy with regard to free
roads and good roads for the county WILL
no doubt, be secured.
The general public sentiment is in favor
of free roads but there is a little difference
of opinion as to just what lines should
be followed up in order to secure them.
Another object of the special meeting
will be the discussion OF the questions
as to whether a bridge shall be built from
the mainland to Skidaway island, The
commissioners have, in fact almost all
expressed themselves as opposed to the
building Of the bridge, but have agreed
not to take it up for final action. except
before fun board, and they will no doubt
have one tomorrow afternoon. Mr. Wal
ter G. Charlton. representing the property
owners on the island, will make an argu-
ment in favor of the building OF the
bridge.
Chairman Charlton Of the chain-gaug
committee has under investigation the
matter of the purchase of supplies for
the convict camps, with regard to which
some charges have been made by Chair
man Dale of the board, involving GER
tain of the county employees, and it may
be that he will have something to say
on this line. Altogether the meeting
promises to be an interesting one, and
may be as spicy as others that have pre-

Yesterday was the first fair day, with
perhaps one or two exceptions, that Sa-
vannahians have had in a month, and
they made the most of it. The indications
last night were that there will be pleas
ant weather for awhile anyway Just
how long it will last there is no telling.
The spells of fair weather this year so
far have been so uncertain in their
duration that people have begun to
think old probs has got past reforming.
The sunny weather yesterday brought
out numbers of people who have been
housed up for the last week or ten days,
and have only stirred when it was abso-
lutely necessary. and the streets and
parks presented an animated appear
ance. 1t was a good day for church
goers too, and the congregations were
larger than they have been for some
time.
The snow has about disappeared, ex-
cept in fence corners and under the shad-
ows Of buildings where the sun does not
reach. In the woods the ground is yet
covered in places, and in the park there
is here and there a patch.
One of the unusual sights to visitors
to the park yesterday was the number

FISH BENUMBED ny COLD.
Thousands OF Them Floating in the
Water Along the COnst.

Water Along the COnst.
The extreme cold weather has benumb-
ed thousands of fish in almost all the wa
ters along the Atlantic coast and many Of
them, as stated in the Morning News, have
been caught with ease, though there seems
to be some difference of opinion as to the
desirability of these fish for food.
Some say that when taken from the
water in this half dead condition they are
unfit for food, while others claim that
they are made all right again after being
picked up out of the cold water. by plac-
ing them for a few minutes in a more
temperate water At any rate the fisher
men at many places along the coast are
taking advantage of this helpless cOndi-
ton of the fish, and seem to be making
a good thing of it. A correspondent writ
ing from Jacksonville, N. c., gives the fol-
lowing account of the condition of things
at that place on one of the coolest days
of the recent spell:
owing to the freeze there is an unpre-
cedented catch of fish in New river, The
people are actually catching trout by the
boat loads The fish. benumbed by the
cold, float about in large schools, and you
can catch all you can put in boats. One
boy, II years old, caught four hundred
large trout in one hour, and in less than
two hours he had S24 in cash. One man
caught three thousand in five hours and
sold them for $40 in cash.

A CHILD BURNED TO DEATH.
The Mother Finds the Body ON the
Floor in Front of the FirenIace.

The Mother Finds the Body ON the
Floor in Front of the FirenIace.
Peter Fleming. a t-year-old colored
child, was burned to death yesterday
morning. The child's parents live at No.
l7S Huntingdon street. The father is en-
ployed on river work by Green, Gaynor
g. Co and the mother cooks for a family
in the neighborhood. The mother was in
the habit of leaving the child in bed until
after she had cooked breakfast, when she
would come back, dress him and leave him
with a neighbor for safe-keeping.
The father went across the river yester-
day morning to his work. The mother
dressed the boy and left him
IN the house while she went
off to cook breakfast When she
returned about o'clock she found the
child upon his face on the floor with his
clothes burning. She ran into the street
screaming, and Fireman Lee PlatshelS
hurried from NO. 4 engine house near
by and dashed q bucket Of water over
the boy. putting out the flames. He was
already dead, however.
Coroner Goette was notified, and after
investigating the case decided to hold
an inquest, as there was some talk among
the neighbors of carelessness upon the
part of the parents. 1t was brought out
at the inquest that the mother was in
the habit of kindling the fire with kero-
sene. The boy had evidently seen her do
this. 1t was judged from the surround
ings that after being left alone in the
house he got a chair and climbed VI
to the mantelpiece. where he got the can
Of kerosene and evidently spilled some of
it upon his clothing and poured some into
