The Fable.

''There was once man who climbed
a tree, and he had in his hand a saw.
And while he was in the tree his enemy
came beneath it and lay down to sleep
in the shade. And the man said to
himself: Behold my enemy, asleep and
him by saving off limb of this tree
and allowing it to fall upon him and
crush him. And as he said he did;
but he sat upon the limb, and when it
fell he fell with it and was grievous-
ly injured. But the sleeping man was
not injured.
THE MORAL.
"There was once farmer who went
in debt to a banker. Production in
creased and values declined. and he said:
I will have a law passed, making my
debt payable i'll cheap money and thus I
will be avenged upon this Gold Bug.
And as he said he did. But when debts
had been made payable in cheap money
he received only cheap money for the
products of his farm and he was re-
quircd to pay double the amount of
cheap money for his necessities; and the
Gold Bug forcclosed the debt and was
not injured. but the farmer was ruined.

Mayor Myers Comment on DIR. LIE
Hardyfs Letter.

mayor Myers comment on Dr. LIE
Hardy's Letter.
DR.. J. C. LeHardys letter in the Morn
ing News yesterday, was read with inter-
est by many people.
The only thing Objectionable in the
card" said Mayor Myers, when asked
If he had read it, lis the statement in the
beginning that the doctor is
answering an attack made upon him
through the public press by the mayor,
the board of sanitary commissioners and
the health officer. He is entirely mis-
taken in this No attack has been made
upon him by either the mayor, the board
of sanitary commissioners, or the health
officer, through the public press or other
wise. On the contrary DIR. LeHardy
made a serious attack upon the quaran-
tine and sanitary policy OF Savannah, and
upon the officials intrusted with carrying
out this policy, and published it to the
world in the Sanitarian, magazine pub
lished in New York city. The health off,
Ger was requested by the sanitary board
to prepare a reply to these charges. which
he did This reply was read before the
sanitary board, and by that body referred
to council. 1t was read before council
and received as information by that body
not adopted"
"Dr. LeHardy," said the mayor, "makes
several good suggestions in his card which
any good citizen might make. II he would
only undertake to finance these improve
ments, he would put US under obligations
to him. We are all aware of the need
for a new system of house drainage, and
as DIR. LeHardy is, no doubt, well aware
we are now. and have been engaged for
some time I'm an effort to secure a suita-
BILE outlet for such a system. The VIII
mington river has been decided upon as
the most available and almost the only
outlet, with the exception of the Savan-
nah river and yet we shall probably have
TO face a law suit or an injunction when
we attempt to make use of 1t.
THE matter of a plumbing inspector
council already has under consideration"
Mayor Myers said. THE trouble is that
every new office created means another
official to be paid out of the public treas
ury. Ii Is very easy to suggest that GER
tain things are needed, but to provide the
ways and means is another thing. DR.. Lee
Hardy also wants the city to provide an
other salaried official, a bacteriologist and
analytical chemist. In a small city like
| savannah there Is no need for such an
official When we occasionally have need
for the services of such an expert we Sc
cure them and pay for the work done. As
| Dr. LeHardy states, we have made con-
sderahly Improvement in the condition of
the market basement. 1t was perhaps, a
mistake TO provide a basement, when the
market was erected. but the basement is
there. and the only thing we scan do is to
keep IT in the best possible condition.
at is very easy matter to criticise, "
| concluded Mayor Myers, land a great
many people seem to find this a favorite
occupation. but to make real improvements
and not mere changes is another thing.
as those who have public affairs in their
charge well know"

YoM KIPPUR'S SOLEMN FAST.
IMPRESSIVE SERVICES HELD IN
THE SYNAGOGUEs.

Rev I. p. Mendes Preached at the
Jew-The Scrolls Displayed and
the Vows of the Last Day of Atone
ment AnnulIed-The Memorial Ser
vice TO-day-services by the Or
thOdox Congregations.
To-day is the Day OF Atonement, or Yom
Kippur. and viii be universally OBJ
served by all Hebrews in fasting and
worshipping. 1t is the most sacred Of
all the days in the Hebrew calendar, and
its observance is required and cheerfully
given. During the entire day, from sun
set yesterday until sunset to-day, those
most strict in observing the law and Gus
tom, will allow no food or drink to pass
their lips.
Services were held last night at the
Mickva Israel temple as is usual on the
eve OF the Day of Atonement. They were
lengthy and very impressive, being con-
Quoted in Hebrew and English.
The ceremony OF the Kal Nidre was
performed. This consisted of the display
of the five scrolls bearing the law, with
the attendant readings and songs in He
brew, and was enacted as the solemn an
nulment of all vows promises and anathe-
mas made on the last Day of Atonement.
Rev. I. p Mendes, in conducting the
services, read passages from the Old
Testament, both IN English and Hebrew,
the choir responding to some and the con-
gregation to others in both recitation
and song.
At the conclusion Of the long services,
the observance of the eve of atonement
demands, Rev. Mr.. Mendes preached on
What IT Is to Be a Jew?" AS his text he
took the third verse of the forty-third
Psalm, Send Thou Thy Light and Thy
Truth; These Shall Guide Ne" His sermon
was learned and eloquent and a touch upon
some of the existing influences and powers
in the country, and politics, rendered II
doubly interesting. The A. p. A. was re-
ferred to, and the desire to see church and
state identified, that the association en-
tertains was deplored.
Services will be held at the temple this
morning and afternoon. The morning SER
vices Will be in English and will commence
at $3.50 o'clock. Those of the afternoon will
be in memory of the dead, and will com
mence at 4:30 o'clock. The congregation
is expected to be in the synagogue a short
time prior to the opening OF the afternoon
services in order that their full solemnity
and impressiveness may not be interrupt
ed.
Prayers were said in the Chebrah Tai
mud Torah synagogue at Turner hall last
night from $50 to 9 o'clock. Services will
be held at this synagogue to-day during
the entire day from Z a. m. to p. m. The
members of the congregation, known as
the orthodox Jews, with the exception of
children under 10 years of age, will fast
during that time.

There is not much likelihood that the

The attention of Receiver John r.

The patrons Of the line. and he was asked
why the Electric railway did not operate
the Indian street line after $50 o'clock at
night. He replied that there was no need
for it, as there is practically no travel on
Indian street after that hour.
Doesn't the ordinance require it?' he
was asked.

NO CANDIDATE ron CONGRESS.
Republicans Not Likely 20 Put One
in the Field.

The First district republican congress
sional committee met yesterday, and con-
tlnued its elaboration until late in the af-
ternoon.
A temporary organization was effected
by the election OF L. NJ Pleasant and j.
r. Denegall as temporary chairmen, each
claiming the craftsmanship as having
been already regularly constituted. This
difference of opinion between the two, and
among their adherents, was one of several
that were entertained during the meeting,
which was held mainly in the hope of har-
monizing interests and warning ideas.
When permanent organization was eff
fected Denegall was elected chairman by
a vote OF fifteen to thirteen over Pleasant
The defeated candidate for the chairman
ship, in the interest Of the harmony he is
seeking, accepted the situation. John E.
Warren OF Burke county was elected Sec
rotary by vote of thirteen to twelve
over w. f. Moore of Efingham.
The point over which the committee is
most strongly exercised, and in which in
terest is most deeply aroused, was the Sc
lection of a congressional candidate. The
question met with great deal of discus
sion, but its advocates were not sufficient
~ strong to carry the point, and secured
only the appointment Of a committee of
nine, which VIII meet Sept 70 to consider
the advisability of putting a candidate in
the field. Whether this subcommittee,
that has full power in the matter, will
see fit to put out a candidate is not known,
but II is generally thought that II will not
| do so. One of the most prominent of the
committeeman said last night that he did

Mr.. Dusenbury's Condition Critical.
Mr.. CInrke'a Statement.

The condition Of Mr.. Clarence Dusen-
bury. who was very severely injured in a
bicycle collision on the Ogeechee road
Monday night was reported yesterday TO
be slightly improved. Mr.. Dusenbury suf-
fered serious internal injuries, and is not
yet out Of danger.
Mr. A. w. Clarke. Jr., who, with his
cousin, Mr.. Milton Clarke, were riding
the tandem which collided with Mr. Du-
senbury, says that he and his cousin
were on the right of the road. coming
up Battery Park hill, and that Mr.. Dusen-
bury attempted TO pass on the left. At
the last moment Mr.. Clarke, who was
steering, turned to the left to escape the
approaching tandem and then the COLI
sion occurred. Both parties claim to have
turned 10 the right. Mr. Sloat, who was
riding with Mr.. Dusenbury says that he
was on the right hand side Of the road.
Mr.. Clarke said that when the collision
occurred his cousin was thrown off and
was unconscious for a minute or two.
When he became conscious he thought
his leg was broken and he got him to a
store nearby He said that he asked Mr..
Dlsenbury II he was hurt and how he
felt and the latter replied Pretty bad"
Mr.. Clarke did not think he was seriously
injured, however and gave his attention

they were in good standing. The number
for the day brought the total registration
up to 6624. That Will be the number Of
names that will go to the registrars, who
will probably begin the work of purging
the lists next Monday. 1t will hardly be
possible TO get the books and lists in
shape for the registrars before that
time. 1t Is said the Liberal club has
the names of 400 or 800 parties whose
names are alleged to have gone on the
books Illegally. These, they state, Will
be presented to the registrars, along with
evidence Of the facts alleged, and they
announce confidently they believe all, or
nearly all Of those 80 listed, will be re-
moved from the list.
on the other hand II is stated that as
practically all of these are Citizens Club
voters an arrangement has been made by
that faction which will prevent these par
ties names being removed from the list.
Just what the plan Is, IL being kept very
quiet at present, but Citizens Club lead
ers say they viii not be done out OF any
votes through the purRing of the regis
tration lists. The closing Of the registra-
ton precipitates the biggest part Of the
battle and the movements Of both sides
will be closely watched until the day Of the
election.
one Liberal Club leader makes the fol-
lowing Liberal estimate: Liberal Club ma
iorities in the First district, 100; Second
district, IS; Third district, 30, and Fourth
district, 700, making a total of LOIS. He
comedies the country districts to the Citi-
zens Club by majority Of 100 giving his
side clear majority Of 975. He admits,
however, there may be some little falling

are exactly 1,2Ol negroes, and SAB whites
Politicians say the registration Is the
largest in the history Of the county, the
largest registra ton Chatham county has
the largest registration in his experience,
and the largest he has ever had anything
to do with.
The Liberal Club leaders claim to have
registered rs to 50 per cent. of tho voters
who were registered yesterday.
One or two bets on the result were in
dulged in during the day. Mr.. Waring
Russell, the county treasurer and Mr. J.
r. Creamer got into an argument on The
situation, which wound up in a 900 bet
being made between them. Each put up
a so forfeit on the bet, the stakes being
placed in the hands of Mr. II. f. Dreeson.
There is a good deal of guessing as TO
candidates, and rumors of all kinds are
getting circulated very freely, and with
out much foundation Both sides are
busy naming the candidates that are go
ing TO be put out by their opponents but
the rumors when run down are generally
found to be without foundation. Nothing
definite is known as yet as TO just what
candidates may or may not be placed in
the field.

TWO HOUSES BURNED.
The Fire on the Ogeechee Near Bis
marck street.


There was a lively little fire on the
Ogeechee road yesterday afternoon. Two
small houses We're burned, one being
nearly destroyed and the other badly
damaged. The houses were situated close
together near Bismarck street. One was
occupied by a colored family named Jones
and the other by A. +. DeFour. an en-
ploye of the Central railroad. The fire
originated IN the Jones house. All the
family were away. and the fire was dls-'
covered by the occupants of the adjoining
house. ii was sometime before an alarm
was turned in, and the fire had a good
hold before the firemen reached the place.
An alarm was sounded from box us, and
another shortly after from box 1872 some
distance away. Box 125 was also pulled,
but as an alarm from another box was
striking at the time, 125 did not sound, the
boxes being non-interfering. The Jones
house was Quilted and everything 1t con-
tanned destroyed. The roof of the DeFour
house was burned, but the firemen saved
the rest of the building. The furniture
from this house was saved. Mr.. DeFour

The Savannah postofice will soon have

a great deal of trouble with mail di-

People who have an established resi-

TO them and seldom call at the postofiice
for it, while it frequently happens that
mail Intended for them is not addressed
to their street and number but simply
comes to the general delivery. In this
case the postoffice clerks turn TO the
city directory but as the directory is
said to contain the names of but one
fourth to one-third of the people living
here Il is -rery often the case that the
names upon the letters cannot be found in
the directory.
The letters may be intended for the
wives daughters or sons or the servants
