PINGREE's PLAN NOT ADOPTED.
The Mayor Does Not Think II Would
Work in Savannah.

Mayor Myers has received a circular
from Mayor Pingree of Detroit, giving the
results Of the plan inaugurated by the lat
ter last year for enabling the poor to help
themselves by their own labor
The Pingree plan has been mentioned
in the Morning News before. What May
or Pingree did was TO get the permission
Of the owners of vacant lands in and near
the city to allow these lands to be cult
waited under the direction of a committee
appointed TO supervise the work. Such
land as was owned by the city was in
cluded In the plan. The land thus secur-
ed was divided into small lots and a por-
tion allotted TO each head of a family who
applied for il, and who agreed to under
take its cultivation.
The poor people who secured allotments
Of land in this way were encouraged TO
plant and cultivate potatoes, cabbages
and other products which would be use
fui TO them as food. In many instances
seed was furnished them. While every
cultiVatOr did not make a success of his
work the majority met with fair success
and the general result was very satisfac-
tory. This method of assisting the poor
has been adopted in other places
Mayor Myers was asked If he thought
this plan could be worked to advantage
here. He said that he did not think so.
our conditions ara different" said he.
AT Detroit they have a cold climate with
a short summer season. Land is very val
uanle, ana IS especially suited to the Guilt
walton described. Land is plentiful here
and anyone who wants to engage in its Gull
tivation can do so by going a short dis
lance into the country. There is not much
land available in our suburbs for such a
purpose. and / do not think that the lot
owners would care 10 have their lots cut
up by cultivation in the first place In the
next place / do not think such upturning
Of the soil inside the city limits, and the
immediate vicinity is sanitary and IL is
very likely that the householders in the VII
cinity would object TO It. 1 do not think
the plan could be worked satisfactorily
here ANYWAY"

STEAMSHIP PARIS.
The American Vessel Spoken at Sea
in Disabled Condition..

NEW YORK, Oct 13.-The steamship
Paris, which is limping toward South
ampton under her port screw, the other
having been fractured, was spoken by
the Red Star Line steamship kensing-
ton, from Antwerp for this port, which
arrived at midnight Saturday night.
When the Paris was abeam the Ken
singtOn she signaled: I'VE are the
Paris, American Line"
The Kensington passed the Paris in
latitude Al degrees 3S minutes longi-
tude 40 degrees IS minutes. She was
then just eightyfour hours out Of port
and had proceeded about 900 miles in
that time. Her position was due south
Of Cape Race and ST. John, N. F., and
due east of Halifax and Sable Island.
The loss of half of the propellng
force of the steamship should reduce
her speed to about fifteen knots an
hour, but computation based upon
the distance travelled shows she has
made little over nine knots an hour
The Paris undoubtedly met and
weathered the gale that has been dew
astating our coast, and that probably
accounts for the poor time she has

how much booty they got is not known.
The engineer who left the train ran
ahead to Uintah and telegraphed in the
bare facts. He believes, however from
the conversation of the men as they
went through the train, that the men
meant to blow up the express car with
dynamite. a train was made up at
Ogden and sent to the scene of the rob-
berry, and orders We're given to organize
a posse and run the robbers down.

Great Excitement Caused by the
Fresh Impetus of the Flames.

PASADENA, Oct. 13.-Great excite

fresh impetus given the Sierra Madre
fires by fierce wind which sprung up
about midnight. Twelve men had near

back firing and trenching, but the blaze
was swept into the thick brush of Mil
