1t will be noticed that Savannah has
a less number of arrests for drunken
ness than any city of it's size on the
list, and less than half as many as some
of less size. That the city of Portland,
in the prohibition state of Maine, should
have nearly twice as many arrests for
drunkenness as Savannah in the same
year looks very queer. The number of
arrests for drunkenness this year so far
appear to be on about the same ratio as
last year.

erary will hold another meeting in Com
pany AS room at the Guards arsenal to-
morrow night, at which a full attendance
is desired. The finance committee will then
have made another thorough canvass and
will be ready to make report, on which
the general course of action must be
based. At that time 1t will probably be
clearly known just what the programme
for Chicago day will be, for there are
some details yet to be acted on, although
the general programme has been pretty
we'll outlined.
The statement is taken from the last
published reports: The general taxes of
the state foot up $1,S396 all dry coun-
ties pay 7A,975; all wet counties pay
Sl,l3f,64l; all dry counties receive from
the state for school fund and pensions,
$3.50 227; the amount received by dry coun-
ties in excess of taxes paid is 5,252; the
taxes received by the state from wet
counties, in addition to the above Qiquor),
100000.
The taxes Of the largest counties, all
of which are wet, are as follows Bib,
SSl,759; Chatham, SIS 1874; Fulton, S246, 10
Muscogee. s72, 1917 Richmond, $loe,579
Floyd, S32, All; six counties pay $667,5O9;
1871 counties pay Sl.172,llO
The following statement was also
brought before the temperance commit
tees of the two houses
''The rate of assessment during the
past year was the maximum allowed by
law, yet there Is now defcit or $lOS,OO.
liquor, $lO4 900, and the deficit would be
$4,000 which would have to be raised
by an increase of the rate, then add an
other increase to the rate to meet the
depreciation In values during the past
year, of nearly sl9,W0OO0.
This does not include the loss to cities
and towns resulting from the passage
of the anti-barroom bill, which can safely
be estimated at 100000 Thus the real
estate owners must face an increased rate
sufficient to raise from 100000 to $4,000.
This does not cover the fearful deprecia-
ton in values IL the bill is passed, eStt-
mated at nearly S1000O6,OOO.

cider as Substitute for Water.
From the Boston Journal.

'There is a scarcity of pure drinking wa
ter I'm Adams county, Ohio. Much sick
ness is reported. Luckily Adams county
has an immense quantity of cider on hand.
The ancients do not agree with our con-
temporary Robert Burton says cider Is
a cold and windy drink, and for that
cause to be neglected as inducing melan-
choly. The Arabian leeches looked askew

Afraid of His own Name.

From the st. Louis Globe-Democrat.
Conductor Bob McNair of owl car No.
1o1 of the Northern Central line, has a
humorous eonceit of the eternal fitness
of things, and this conception is shared
by big Mike Riley, who jerks the motor
crank on the same car Last Monday
morning, while the car was bowling along
through the sylvan glades on Natural
Bridge road, Conductor Bob heard a
voice from the darkness calling: WHO,
who, are your" and saw two luminous
eyes staring at him from the top rail
Of a neighboring fence. Motorman Mike
also heard the call, and stopped his car
riage to investigate. The result was
that the two men, assisted by several
passengers, laid violent hands upon a
half-grown owl who was guilty Of max
ing this impairment inquiry of two total
strangers, and escorted him into the
car and later down to the power house.
Before the first trip yesterday morning
they suspended him in a cosey seat right
under a nest of ineandescent lights in
the middle OF the car, and there he sits
and looks wise while the car goes sailing,
sailing, much to the envy Of the other
owls who look neither so wise nor so
comfortable.

Governor McKinIey stops smoking


From the PlttsDurB Ilmes.
Abner Mckinley, a New York attorney
and brother Of Gov. William Mckinley OF
Ohio, spent yesterday in Plttsburg OF,
legal business. He said: The greatest
piece Of news I know Of, however, Is NOT
in the line of politics. My brother, Gov.
Mckinley, has actually quit smoking. His
fondness for the weed was proverbial,
habit has had a bad effect on his nervous
system, and on that account gave 1t up,
although the effort was almost superhu-
man He experiences pangs yet when
he meets a man with good cigar, or even

WHY HE BOUGHT A HOUSE.
Senator sherman Tells How He First
Became a Properly Owner Here.

From John Sherman's Recollections.
When 1 entered congress, my pay as a
member was So day during the session,
and it was said we had roast beef but
we paid for it if we had it. At the close
of the Thirty-fourth congress the COM
pensation was increased to 5000 a year.
During the latter part of the war and af-
terward prices of food, board and lodging
were considerably advanced.
In 1864 l offered the proprietor of Will
lard's hotel my monthly pay of $3.50 for
board and lodgings, in very modest quar-
ters, for my wife and myself, but he de-
manded $500 a month. This led me to
purchase a house in which to live, a
change which / never regretted. 1t was
quite the fashion then for old families,
who were in full sympathy with the con-
federates, to underrate property (even
their OWN in Washington, on the ground
that when the confederacy was estab-
lished the capital would be removed, and
real estate could, therefore, be obtained
upon very reasonable terms.

 That ever afIahie gentleman, Boon Lewis. returned last week from an eX- tended trip east, much improved in health and general appearance; and while he speaks fayorably of different localities visited while absent, he says Arizona is good enough for him.
 While at Elgin last week, ". H.. Randall, sustained several ugly cuts about the body and limbs from a too close contact with wire fence. He was running at full speed, the night was pitch dark, and misunderstanding the position of the fence, he ran against it with full force. He stated that it was not the getting in but the getting out that caused him the most trouble It was one of those cases where the parting was painful.

 MT. Wetmore, the weather regulator at Tucson. has loaded the future with rain. He says that the country will vet be blessed by several successive downpours. Under his ruling eleven inches must fall during the current year.
 Last week Eddie Wetmore, son of MT. E. L. Wetmore of Tucson, was bitten by rattle snake. Such reme- dies as were at hand were immediate ly applied. and MT. Wetmore went to town for others. On his return he found the little boy asleep and resting easily. He was able to attend school in a couple of days.
 At Tucson last week an attempt at assault was made on two little girls aged ten and twelve years respective ly. One of them escaped, and the cries of the other brought assistance The brute was severely castigated and allowed to go, and afterward the ofii- cers were looking for him: but he had made himself scarce.
 The Tucson smelter blew in Sunday night and Monday working full force. Three eight hour shifts are be- ing run and about twenty-five men employed Monday morning the shelter leaked little and it was feared that the fires would have to be with drawn, built dried up and is doing fine ly. There is sufficient ore on the dumE TOT LNtHLN ud9o lhh+ All SNfPe' ores will be bought and cash paid foi them. There were forty applicants for work that could not be supplied.
 At Tucson last week teal duel was taken from an electric light glob' on the big mast at the corner of Meye and Mccormick streets. How it man aged to fall inside the globe instead of falling to the street, is mystery a the globe is so small that it is witt difficulty a man can force his hanC inside to clean out the half gallon 0 moths and beetles that nightly fal into such deathtraps. From indlca tions the duck had struck the ar squarely with it's head and thei through some unaccountable mean slipped into the globe below. Smal birds are frequently so found, bu never before anything so large as duck.
