Cutting by Steam.

1t is not generally recognized that the
friction between air and other gases and
solids or liquids is very great. 1t is on
account Of this friction that we have

How II All Came About.

1t took the little acorn but few days
to become the spreading oak. Hezekiah
Reubens told his wife in confidence that
Josh Watkins said he'd like mighty
well to By Widow Spilkins' farm.
Mrs. Reubens ran into Mrs. Blunter's
just to borrow little baking soda, and
to make her errand less Objectionable
told that Josh Watkins talked of buying
Widow Spilkins' farm, thoughtfully
adding, 'Twouldn't surprise me bit
eff he would take the wilder with the
farm"
Mrs. Blunter left her baking in the
stove while she threw her shawl over
her head and went through the back
way to Mrs. Penrup's to tell her that
Josh Watkins was going to marry
Widow Spilkins for her property and
to wonder what would become of her
children, giving it as an opinion that
"like as not the wilder would have 'em
bound out. :"
Mrs. Penrup could scarcely wait till
next morning, when she hitched mp to
drive over and tell Mrs Flowerty that
Josh Watkins was going to marry
Widow Spilkins just to get her property
and that those poor children of hers
were soon to be bound out to any Tom.
Dick or Harry that would take them.
She thought Josh designin rascal
and the widow cruel mother"
All this soon reached the ears of Josh
and the widow. They promptly went to
pursuing the story down, and when they
had traced the thing back to its tiny be-
ginning were SO alphabetically mad
that they met pretty nearly every even
ing to hold indignation meetings. 1t
naturally came about that they were en-
gagged and just as naturally that they
were married. Then Mrs. Hezekiah
Reubens and the rest of them had the
nerve to boast that they made the
match. Detroit Free Press

ROYAL ARCANUM GAVELs.
savannnh's Presentation to the
Stamford, Conn. Council.

savannnh's Presentation to the
Stamford, Conn. Council.
The Stamford, Conn, Advocate gives an
interesting account of the recent presen-
tation to Stamford Council of the Royal
Arcanum of four gavels made from the
wood of trees grown in the extreme north,
east, south and west of the territory in
which the Royal Arcanum is represented.
Some time ago the secretary of the Siam
ford Council wrote to secretaries of Ar
canum councils in the extreme north,
south, east and west sections Of North
America, requesting each to send block
of wood peculiar in growth to the section
in which 1t is situated. Most of these
councils sent gavels.
One of the most interesting or
tho presentations was that from
Pulaski Council of this city of
a gavel made from piece of
the big oak tree at Bethesda. under which
Rev. George Whitefield preached his first
sermon in America. The gavel was ac-
companied by a letter from Regent c. w.
Saussy and Secretary c. s. Connerat,
stating: 1--WE have the pleasure of in
forming you that Pulaski Council has eX-
pressed to your address a gavel made
from a piece of the oak tree under which
the Rev. George Whitef1eld preached MS
first sermon in Georgia, about the year
174O. WHITEHEAD founded a house for or
phan boys at Bethesda, in Chatham coun-
ty, a few miles from Savannah, which
has recently celebrated its 146th anniver-
sary, and Is one of the best charita BILE
schools in the country. We trust that this
gavel will be used on all occasions when
necessary. and at the sound Of the same
its ccno will ring through the hearts of
our Connecticut brothers, stirring that
feeling Of fraternity which pervades the
Royal Arcanum and makes us one of the
greatest fraternal orders in this grand
country OF ours"
A gavel OF maple was presented from
Oregon and a block of maple came from
Prince Edwards Island. From Washing
ton state came block Of medrona wood.
The gavel from the south was placed at
the regents station, which is at the south
end OF the room. and the others were
placed at the stations representing the Sec
lions from which they came.
Pulaski Council entertained the Supreme
Council of Royal Arcanum in Savannah
last May and many close relationships
were established with the representatives
OF the various sections Of country in which
the order exists.

TO MAKE SURE THE GONG RINGS.
Receiver Collins Invention For
Electric Car Warnings.

Receiver Collins Invention For
Electric Car Warnings.
Receiver ]. S. Collins of the Electric
plan by means of which one fruitful
source of contention in suits against
street railways, in cases of accidents, will
be removed, as well as the number of
accidents, which produce the law suits,
decreased.
In ninety-nine cases out of 100 in dam
age suits against the street railways it is
claimed that 'the bell was not ringing"
The motorman nearly always testifies
that he was ringing his bell, at the time
Of the accident, but some doubt is left
in the minds of the jury as to whether he
did ring the bell or not.
Mr.. Collins has secured a half interest
in an invention which he believes will lay
this argument on the shelf. The inven-
ton is to make certain of the ringing of
the bell or gong. 1t consists of a gong,
with other attachments, which is intended
to to be attached to the brake or to the
axle of the car or both. When attached
to the brake beam the gong rings every
time the motorman puts on or takes off
the brakes. If attached to the axle the
gong rings continuously, or 1t can be reg
ulated to ring at intervals of, for instance,
every fifty feet, or every 100 feet There
ie nothing complicated about the construc-
ton of the gong or the manner of attach
Ing it to the brake beam or axle, and APP
parently these is no reason why it should
noe work satisfactorily. Mr.. Collins says
that he knows it will work, because he
has tried it. a patent has been applied
for
The invention is the work Of Mr. Chris
topher c. Jones' a half-brother to Mr.
Collins. Mr.. Collins furnished Mr.. Jones
the idea upon which to work and the re-
suit is the gong.
when this gong is put into use,' said
Mr.. Collins, parties will not be able to
testify in accident cases that the bell was
not ringing. With the bell attached to
the axle it will be ringing all the time. A
separate bell attached to the brake will
or whenever the motorman throws brakes
on or off, 1t will be a great help to the
mo torman. AS the cars are now con-
structed he has three things to look after,
his controller, the brakes and the bell,
which he must ring with his foot When
excited by the prospect of an accident it
is natural that he should sometimes for
get the bell With the gong attached to
the brake he will no longer have to trouble
himself about the bell.'
Mr.. Collins thinks he has a good thing
in the invention and that the device will
be in demand with street railway compa-

SCOTTISH RITE MASONs.
They Met Their Grand Commander
at the De Soto Last Night.

About thirty of the fifty Ancient and
Accepted Scottish Rite Masons in Savan-
nah met Grand Commander Thomas H.
Caswell Of san Francisco informally at the
De Soto last night.
Grand Commander Caswell Is here on an
official visit to the jurisdiction of Georgia
in accordance with the resolution of the
supreme council instructlng him 10 visit
the head chapters throughout his entire
jurisdiction which takes in the United
States south Of the Ohio and west of the
Mississippi river, together with the Sand
wich Islands, China and Japan.
Commander Caswell was given a drive
around the city during the day, and was
shown all OF the principal points OF inter-
est. He met the Scottish Rite Masons at
night in a private parlor and the business
of the order was talked over. The MEM
bers here regretted he could not remain
longer, as 1t was desired to show him some
more marked attention. AS II was the
day was very pleasantly spent Mr.. Cas-
well will leave this morning for Mont
gomery, Ala, where he goes to pay an
official visit to the jurisdiction of that
state. He will visit the head chapter OF
all states, after which ne will visit the
Sandwich Islands and Japan.

years and then gives the grand commander

THEY DID NOT COME DOWN.
Politicians Who Wanted to Hear
From the Representatives on the
COmnrOmise. DisnnnOinied.


Not one of the Chatham county repre-
sentatives came down for Sunday yester-
day as was expected, and the consequence
is the Liberal Club politicians do not
know any more about the status of the
compromise from the standpoint of these
gentlemen than they did before.
All three of the representatives were
the leaders here to see them, and have a
general talking over of the matter, SO as
to understand just what they had done
at the Atlanta meeting. But now they
will have to walt another week unless they
get their information with regard to the
matter by mail.
AS Mr.. H. NJ. Conner is in New York on
railroad business the matter is also In
statu quo so far as he is concerned. But
besides all this, 1t appears that the COM
promise talk has fallen somewhat fiat. The
rank and file as well as the political lead
ers on both sides do not give 1t any en-
enlargement, and the majority of them are
against anything of the kind
Il fail to see Just how Mr.. Conner could
come i'm as chairman remarked a Liberal
Club leader. I'm the first place we con-
tend that Mr.. duBignon is not and was not
chairman OF the executive committee. fne
rules of the party provide only for com
mittee of twenty-five. Two years ago TWEEN
ty-five members were elected at the pr-
mary then held. and the committee then
went outside of itself for a chairman, max
ing a committee of twenty-six. This we
contend was not in accordance with the
rules. The same thing was done this time,
and they still have committee of twenty
six Mr.. duBignon, who was not a member
of the committee being elected chairman.
Therefore he is not legally chairman.
NOW we elected only twenty-five mem
bers, and chose as chairman, DR.. VIM.
Duncan, who was a member of the com
mittee. Now II DIR. Duncan should resign
to make place for Mr. Conner, Mr.. Com
or would have TO become member of our
committee before he could be elected chair
man, and he would according to our prin-
| ciples have to become a member of the
Liberal party before he could be elected a
member of the committee. If he did that
| the other 81 lie would not hear to the COM
promise on that basis. and that is why ]
| say l am satisfied there is not going to be

The whole years events in the conduct of

Christian Association were reviewed. The
financial condition of the association was
gone over at considerable length. The re-
ceipts during the year were 3,4S2.57. The

Rev. James A. Dorritee of Columbia,
formerly secretary of the Savannah asso-
citation, delivered the anniversary address.
His subject was the Young Mems Chris
lions Association; It's Works and Bene-
fits" He began by complimenting the as
ISOLATION upon the favorable report its
president had just read, and spoke of the
interest he felt in the association and his
desire for it's success,
Mr.. Dorritee's treatment of the objects
Of the Young Mems Christian Association
and it's relations to society," through its
influence for good upon the youth of the
country, was interesting. He appealed to
mothers and fathers for their support, as
a means of saving their sons from the
perils that surround them.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Dorritee's adj
dress, Secretary Johnson briefly gave
some information regarding the national
direction of the association. The inter-
national committee of fifty, with head
quarters at New York, controls the asso-
citation, and, under the orders of this COM
mittee, thirty-eight travelling secretaries
are engaged in itinerant work among all
the wider branches of the trades and &C.

TuneraI OF Isniah Morant.

The funeral of Isaiah Morant, colored,
which took place yesterday afternoon. was
one of the largest seen in the city in
years. Morant was well known as the
leader of the First Regiment band, which
position he had held for a number of years
and was well liked by the officers and men
of the regiment. He was also very popular
with the colored people. and was member
of several secret societies.
The military company and the several
societies TO which he belonged turned out
with full ranks to pay the last tribute Of
respect to their deceased comrade.

STREET CARS BUMP EACH OTHER,
Electric Railway and City and Su-
burban Collide at a Crossing.


Car No. of the Electric railway and
car No. q Of the City and Suburban rail-
way ran into each other at Whitaker and
st. Julian streets yesterday about noon,
The City and Suburban car was badly
| damaged. being knocked or dragged side
ways across the tracks; Its front dash
board was partly torn Off. and the cleo
trical gearing was broken. The Electric
railway car was only slightly damaged.
Motorman McCarron of the City and
Suburban car was thrown to the ground,
receiving slight cash in his head, where
he struck the pavement No passengers
were injured
As to which car was at fault opinions
differ. Cars going north and south have
the right of way under the city ordinances
over cars going east and west. This gave
the City and Suburban car the right of
way Assistant Superintendent Halves Of
the City and Suburban, arrived on the
ground shortly after the accident, and re-
moved the damaged car. His statement
of the accident was to the effect that the
Whitaker street car was crossing the
street slowly, going north, when the Elec-
trio railway car, instead of giving the
TlSHi OF way, LTleu 10 rush past, StIlhlnB
the Whitaker street car on the front dash
board, tearing away the electric gear and
damaging the brake, besides throwing
the car from the track. The motorman
of the Electric railway car was entirely
to blame in not giving the right of way,
he said.
Superintendent Mcfarland of the Elec-
trio railway gave an entirely opposite ac-
count of the accident. The Electric railway
car was crossing Whitaker street he
said, when the City and Suburban car,
ran into it, striking it in the side The
bolts or chains of the rear truck of the
Electric car caught the gearing of the
other car and dragged it from the track, he
said. AS evidence of the correctness of this
statement, Mr.. Mcfarland pointed to the
abrasion in the side of car No. 4, which
had continued running without interrupt
ton. While the Whitaker street car had
the right Of way, he said, its motorman
failed to give notice of its approach to the
other car by ringing his gong as he should
have done.
The report that the Electric car con-
tinued on it's way without stopping to
see what damage had been done, is incor-
rect, he said. The car was stopped, and
the motorman and conductor offered to
render any assistance in their power.
AS no great damage was done, the two
street railway companies will hardly go
into the courts about the accident.
