TO TAKE LEGAL STEPS.
Debtors of the Military Interstate
Association Must Pay Up at Once.


Association Must Pay Up at Once.
A meeting of the board Of directors of
the Military Interstate Association of
Savannah was held at the Commercial
Club rooms yesterday afternoon, for the
purpose of taking some action with refer
ence to delinquent stockholders, and
others who are indebted TO the association
for advertising.
AT a meeting held more than three
months ago the board passed a. resolution
instructing the treasurer, Mr.. James NJ.
Dixon, to collect in the balance of the
stock subscriptions at once, or by June
10 The balance amounted to so per cent.
of the amount subscribed. The treasurer
has had collector at work on the stock
subscriptions and also on the bills for ad-
vertising in the official programme but
has by no means succeeded in collecting
in all due the association.
The assets of the association, If all the
amounts due are paid, are ample to pay
all Of its indebtedness, and leave a small
surplus. Some of those who subscribed
to the stock have put the collector off
from time to time, and never paid the
amounts due. while Others have stated
outright that they did not intend to pay
il. 1t has been the same way with the
fetal programme, The Canteen, on which
the association lost about $1,000, even
should all that is due on 1t be collected
This scheme was managed by Messrs.
Sullivan and Barney, one of whom has
since died.
The association is tired OF waiting on
delinquent stockholders and advertisers,
and a strong resolution was adopted in
structing the treasurer to take legal steps
to collect at once the amounts due. THIS
leaves him no option in the matter, and
he was further instructed to employ a
lawyer and place in his hands all unpaid
accounts. The members of the board
thought 1t very queer that those who had
subscribed to stock for a project in the
interests of the city should fail or refuse
to pay their subscriptions when they are
able to do so, and when the association
is still in debt. The directors have taken
a firm stand in the matter now, however
and they have decided not TO wait any
longer.

was given a Christian burial.
The work Of repairing the ceilings and

CAN BRING FOREIGN GOODS.
Steamers OF the Merchants and
Miners Line Now bonded.

Steamers OF the Merchants and
Miners Line Now bonded.
The Merchants and Miners Transpor-
tation Company has been bonded to the
government and is now permitted to car
ry foreign merchandise in bond the duty
10 be paid at the port OF delivery.
This matter was taken up some time
ago by Capt. d. @. Purse of the Savannah
Bureau of Freight and Transportation,
who had some correspondence on the
subject with Mr.. J. c, Whitney traffic
manager of the line. The result is the
company had the steamers bonded and
circular on the subject announcing that
fact and showing to what ports foreign
merchandise might be shipped direct be-
fore the duty is paid, was issued Sept.
u and made effective yesterday.
With this arrangement unappraised du-
table merchandise may be transported
from Baltimore Nd. to any one of 100
ports of entry named. but of especial in
terest in this section are Atlanta, Ga;
Charleston. S. c.; Jacksonville Fla; Key
West Fla; Lincoln. Neb. Memphis,
Tenn; Mobile, Ala; St Louis, Mo-; ST
Joseph Mo-; Tampa Fla, and Savannah.
The difference is just this. that where
as before the ships were bonded, the duty
on imported goods had to be paid at the
first port Of entry, as Baltimore, II they
were shipped through Baltimore; now Il
can be paid az the port of delivery. In
other words, Savannah merchants can or
der goods in Europe and have them sent
right to Savannah before paying the duty
upon them Another advantage to Savan-
nah Is that the imports here will be in
creased by just that much, as imports al
ways count for the port at which the
duty is paid.

LOOKED LIKE INCENDTARIsM.
Mr.. A. L. MuIler's House Fired From
a Box of Excelsior.

MIR. A. L.. Muiler's mouse flreu from
Box of Excelsior.
The house of Mr.. A. L. Muller, at Hab-
ersham and Duffy streets, had narrow
escape from being destroyed by fire early
yesterday morning.
Shortly before o'clock Mr., Muller was
awakened by the smoke, and making an
investigation found that the fire came
from under his house. 1t was in large
box of excelsior and other light material
which had been showed out of the way
under the house. Some one turned in an
alarm and Mr.. Muller set to work with a
small garden hose to extinguish the fire.
Chemical engine No. arrived in time to
assist him in the work.
What started the fire is a mystery. 1t
has very much the appearance OF a case
of incendiarism, but there is no clue to the
incendiary, if such be the case. 1t was
fortunate the fire was discovered so soon,
as, had 1t gained a good Roadway, lives
as well as property might have been de-
stroyed.

AT THE THEATER.
Eight Bells Ring in Lot of sOmer-
sauIts and Horse PLAY.

sstuAts ana Horse Play.
One Of the largest audiences of the sea
son saw Eight Bells at the theater last
night That, however, is not saying a
great deal for the size of the audience. 1t
is somewhat difficult to describe the piece;
IN fact 1t is whole lot of little pieces
pleced together. Its chief features are
nearly all of an athletic character, with
some mechanical effects to make things
go round. In the former class are six or
more acrobats and several clever dancers.
Ihere is revolving ship, a revolving
stage coach and a revolving bicycle in
the latter class. The acting, considered in
itself, doesn't count; it's the horse play
and the mechanical effects that are de-
pended upon, together with the athletics,
10 amuse the audience. There are two
expert parlor rifle markswomen with the
company, and a juggler who does as clever
turn as one might wish to see. The
brothers Byrne, the stars of the show, are
high class acrobats.
Eight Bells will be repeated at a
matinee, beginning at 2:30 o'clock, and
again tonight. The night performance
Will begin at p m, sharp. in order that
the troup may catch a train, after com
plotting long programme.
Tomorrow night Joe Hart will be seen
In "A Gay Old Boy" Hart has been seen
here before, but never in his present play
"A Gay Old Boy is what its name in
dicates-a farce comedy. 1t is not bur-
dened with plot. AS an excuse for pre-
sentinIg a very clever vaudeville show it
represents Mr.. Hart in the character of a
widower, Mr. Forest Tree who can in
herit the fortune left by his wife only
on condition that he remains a Widower
for two years after his wife's death This
far Of 10 nyE ORG
He receives in his house a German ply
sician, who has had an affair with a
Paris chanteuse. Subsequently the gay
old boy meets the French actress, falls
violently in love with her and introduces
her into his household. He marries her
two months before the expiration of the
two years limit. For the purpose of
keeping his family of grown daughters
at the summer resort they are visiting,
he informs them that he IS seriously ill
and must have absolute quiet. The in
formation has the effect of bringing his
daughters home. In the effort to prevent
the discovery of the marriage the French
actress is forced to appear as a domestic.
The German physician recognizes her
and renews his former suit, and there are
many complications of a humorous nature
finally brought to a satisfactory conclu-
sion. Mr.. Hart is said to be surrounded
by company of very clever actors.
Berte Coote, in THE Other Mans
Wife," will be seen Thursday night The
play is a laughable, rolicking comedy,
full of quaint situations. The story is
familiar one. The hen-pecked husband,
the stern mother-inLaw and the frivo-
lous wife are all there, and the complica-
tiOns they make are irresistibly funny.
Nick Long, a well known comedian, will
assist Coote in making the fun, while the
whole company are competent artists.

"One afternoon. when we were in the
Indian ocean said the captain. Il no.
ticed a shark swimming round the
ship. and l didn't like II a bit. You
know the superstition to the effect that
following shark presages the death OF
one of the ships company. He sailed
round us all the next day and the next
after that. and / determined to catch
him and quell my uneasiness. We bait

tured and killed him. Then we cut him
up. Do you know what we found in
that sharks inside? No? Well. a
newspaper. unopened. and IL will sur
prise you. as IL did me. when ! tell you
that 1t was addressed to me-"
a shout of great laughter went up
from the captains audience, who
winlIed at each other unblushingly.
He, however. took all the bantering in
good part, and when the jeers were
ended he said:
Now. gentlemen. I'll tell you how IL

gobbled IL down; and that was how II
happened. Now, gentlemen, judge for
