One Of Choate,s Questions.

Once when Joseph H. Choate had on
the rack a well known manipulation Of
bankrupt railway properties, he suddenly
asked, "Were you interested in the trial of
DR.. Briggs for heresy?"
"No!" was the answer. Choate passed
to other subjects, but the witness, as he
left the stand paused at Choate's seat and
remarked in an undertonc, II fail to see,
Mr. Choate, the purpose Of your question
about the Briggs trial. =
"Oh, +" answered Choate carelessly, but
loud enough for the jury to hear, II

THE MAN OF TRUTH.

1t doesn't pay to contradict when people pause
to tell
The stories that you We heard so oft before
Of "coldest days. which solemnly they vow to
you befell
So often in the good old days of yore
And sometimes they will talk to you about the
fish they caught.
Without reply you turn your head away.
You cannot with politeness give expression to
the thought,
Yet you wonder what George Washington
would say.
When an able statistician comes with figures
and with facts
To promote some novel scheme of roseate
hue;
When trust manipulation seeks to Justify his
acts
And raconteur announces something
new"
When lingo citizens proceed to tell how they'd
behave
In case they went a-marching to the fray,
You preserve smiling silence, and your breath
you shrewdly save,
But you wonder what George Washington
would say.

The mothers of two of the boys connect

the robbery of the drug store of Solomons
& Co., say that injustice was done their
children. There were three boys in the
party, and. according to the story of the
mothers of two of them, the robbery was
committed by the oldest of the three boys.
This oldest boy Is about 10 years old The
other boys are much younger-one being
10 and the other II years old. The Oldest
boy, the mothers say, told the younger
boys that he had taken the money from
the store, and he gave them 81 each to say
nothing about it. The mother of one of
the younger boys says her son was not
arrested-that she took him to the bar
racks when she learned that the chief of
police wanted him.

Editor Morning News: OF late you have
been treading on the toes of many people.
1t will doubtless do them good Their feet
are too big anyway. They should keep
them out of reach. Curl them up. Now,
noticed a communication in the News
some time since about a proposed hotel at
Isle of Hope 1t would doubtless be of
advantage to the people of Savannah to
have a hotel there. I have been sum-
mer boarder at Isle of Hope and 1 know
what the Isle of Hope is. BY nature a
lovely place, but when fellow has to
be crowded when he is sleeping and
crowded when he is eating, large percen-
tage of the pleasure is nullified. In the
days when Buckingham ran hotel at Isle
of Hope, and our present es-
teemed Postmaster Haines ran the
railroad, Isle of Hope was the
favorlte of all places. Savannah was
then only about half its present size. We
old boys do not want a fashionable ho-
tel, but an 'told fashioned" one, where we
will be "at home in mine inn" 1 wish you
would keep up the agitation and see if we
cannot have a hotel there by next sum-
mer. Possibly the Consolidated Street
Railway Company might be induced to
build hotel. An Old Fellow.

OVERRUN WITH WEEDS.
Aid. KrOuskOfY's Plan for Getting rid
of Them.

of Them.
The attention of Alderman Krouskoff
has been called to the large patches of
weeds which abound in different parts of
the city The alderman intends taking
steps toward having the ordinance en-
forced which require that they be remov-
ed. He says that he has observed that
the weeds are growing freely in the south
ern part of the city, and that this objec-
tionable growth not only exists in that
locality, but that it Is to be noticed in
certain parts which are more centrally
located.
There is an ordinance which provides
that all property holders shall keep their
property clear of grass and weeds, but the
alderman says that it Is being SO generally
dsregarded that the attention of those
whose duty it is to enforce the law should
be called to the violation.
The responsibility does not rest on the
shoulders of any one in particular. The
ordinance requires that proper notice to
NOV grass and weeds shall be given the
property holder. This is generally done,
but the owner of the property delays the
work and asks to be released so many
times that the result is naught. 1t is AL
derman Krouskoff's opinion that In place
of this duty of having the weeds removed
in the hands of three or four different
officials for enforcement, 1t should be in
the hands of one official, and he should
assume all the responsibility of failure to
do the work. The alderman thinks the
notice should be given the property own
er. and if he fails TO remove the grass
and weeds promptly, then the ordinance
should be enforced by the citys proceeding
to do it, and sending a bill to the owner
for the amount expended. 1t is thought
that by such methods the surplus growth
of weeds seen in SO many places will be
promptly moved down and removed.
