NOT SEEKING COMMISSIONS.
ALDERMEN SAY THEY DO NOT
WANT THE JOBS.

Alderman Guckenheimcr Says That
lie Could Not Consistently Accept
an Appointment to the Police Conn
mission Alderman O'DOnneIl
Urged to Apply, But Has His Eye
on Something Better-May Oppose
Mr.. O'Byrne For Tax AssessOr-Al-
derman Reid Not n Candidate For
Any thing.
Although nothing decisive is known with
regard to the new city commissioners,
there is a good deal Of discussion going on
in a quiet way. According 10 reports, it
looked at one time as if nearly half the
board of aldermen were in a fair way to
be transposed into commissioners. 1t
seems that the aldermen mentioned are
not responsible for these reports. Alder
man Guckenheimer stated positively TO a
Morning News reporter yesterday that he
is not a candidate for police commissioner,
and would not accept the position if 1t
were rendered him.
'In view of the stand that have taken
in opposition to the commissions" said
Alderman GucBenheimer, Il do not see
how I could consistently accept place
upon one of them"
Aldermen Reid and O'DonneH have also
been mentioned variously for positions
upon the police, fire and water commls-
s.ons. Both, however, have stated that
they do not desire such honors. They say
that there is no fun, no glory and no
money in the jobs, and consequently they
do NOT want them Alderman OiDoDnen
has been urged by some of his friends on
the board to allow the use of his name for
police commissioner, but has declined to
give mis- consent. IL was learned, how
ever, that a movement is being organized
in certain quarters to urge Mr.. O'Don-
nelps appointment as tax assessor in OPP
position to Mr. NJ. A. O'Byrne. Mr..
OByrnes opponents say that he does not
need the position, and that he is a great
deal better able to get along without it
than any of the other applicants. They
admit that the influence is on his side,
but say that there are other things 10
be taken into consideration, among them
that a man of many affairs, as is Mr..
O'Byrne, would not be able to give the
attention to the office which it demands.
Alderman Hull is regarded as slated for
the fire commission provided he is willing
to accept il. Col NJ. w. Dixon is also
mentioned in this connection, however.
Chief McDermotts friends on the board
are somewhat dubious of Capt. Brooks
appointment as police commissioner They
think that Chief McDermott deserves a
reelection on the record he has made, and
they are afraid that Capt. Brooks favoCs
the chiefs opponent, Mr.. Haines, though
they do not know that such is the case.
Altogether, it is evident that a lively IN
terest will be aroused in the commission
appointments

BANKERS VIEWS OF 1T.
They Think Mckinley Presents Good
Ideas on the Currency.

Inquiry among the Savannah bankers
yesterday demonstrated the fact that they
are very well pleased with the currency
plan proposed by President Mckinley in
his annual message.
"This," said one of the directors of
finance is a business administration.
There is business man at the head of
the treasury department, better business
man than that department has had in
long time, and I am satisfied that what
ever is done by the administration will be
for the benefit of the people,
1t appears that none of the bankers have
given any extensive thought to President
McKinley's. message on the subject. They
have read the language of it, but do not
feel like expressing public opinion until
they have given the matter more thought.
The Presidents views on the currency
question" said another banker, ARE quite
similar to those presented by Secretary
Gage in his speeches, and in the plan pro-
posed by him, and sent out recently by
the Associated Press. 1t appears to me
that the Presidents message on this sub
ject is somewhat of a rehash of the sec
retary's views. but that detracts nothing
frcm the quality of them. They are good
all the way through.
''As to the large gold reserve desired un
der these plans | am satisfied that there
viii be no trouble in securing it. There
are S10S00O.C00 in gold now in the clearing
house in New York, which the govern
ment can secure whenever it wants it, and
] do not think there will be any trouble
whatever an securing il. 1t is also true
that there is plenty of money in crcua-
ton in the country for all business pur-
poses, and there has been for sometime.
This plan however. / am satisfied would
make the currency more expansive aud
elastic. The administration appears ready
to receive any suggestions, and l believe
in the end a good and sound system will
be the resnlt.''

JUDGE NORWOOD's BOOK.
He Is Writing Some Serio-COmic
Commentaries on Mother Goose.

He Is Writing Some Serio-Comic
Commentaries on Mother Goose.
Judge Thomas NJ Norwood is writing a
book His friends have suspected for some
time that something of an important ma
ture was receiving much of his attention,
but it was not known until recently that
this attention is being given to literary
effort.
Judge Norwood's book will probably be
called commentaries on Mother Goose"
or a name similar to that, as that title
expresses clearly the idea contained in
the work. 1t VIII be a serio-comic volume,
presenting a discussion of Mother Goose's
poems by an old man, who takes them
seriously. Judge Norwood talented pen,
reinforced by a mind keen to the appre-
citation of wit and humor gives assur-
ance that the work will be one that will
afford amusement and interest to hun
dreds who know him personally, as well
as to thousands who may not.
AS an author Judge Norwood is already
well known. "Plutocracy," a political
novel, gained for him reputation in the
literary world. Judge Norwood has given
much careful thought to political prob
lens, and his experience in legislative halls
has given him much prominence on that
line. The question therefore as to whether
his present work was of political nature,
was quite natural Judge Norwood replied
emphatfcally that it is not. Ii is nothing
more than a serio comic writing as eX
planned, and will to certain extent treat
philosphically and humorOusly the writ
ings of Mother Goose, which have place
in the history of everybody's career
Judge Norwood considers Mother Goose's
writing great work. Not only himself,
but other speakers have illustrated and
made more forcible some of their most
telling arguments in debate with quota
tons from these lines of doggerel they
learned to lisp in childhood's days.
Judge NorwoOd's many friends will no
longer wonder why, when the opportunity
affords itself he leaves his Savannah home
and betakes himself to the seclusion of
his home at Wathourville. 1t has been,
for one reason at least, because he desired
to devote himself to this literary work
which will within a short time be given
to the public. His friends and the public
viii undoubtedly warmly welcome the
coming volume.

WORK ON THE can LINES.
Tearing Up of the Montgomery Street
Track to Begin To-day.

Tearing Up of the Montgomery Street
Track to Begin To-day.
Rapid progress is being made in the re-
vision of the street railway system. Gangs
are at work i'm half a dozen different places
tearing up old lines laying new track and
double tracks and replacing old rail with
new.
The Barnard street line is being extend
ed along Second street to Whitaker and
the extension of the Whitaker and Aber-
corn belt south to Tenth street has been
practically completed, with the exception
of that portion of Tenth street which is
still unopened. The work Of removing the
old belt line track on Montgomery street
from Liberty to Anderson streets will be-
gin to-day General Manager Johnston
gives notice that the track on Mont gomery
street will be broken on and after 10 o clock
this morning Passengers for Montgom-
cry street are notified to change 70 the
West Broad cars al the Central railroad
depot The rails from the lines which are
being torn up are being used to lay track
on other portions of the system, with the
exception of the old fiat rails which will
not be used again.
There is a peculiar wording in the ordi-
nance adopted a the last meeting of coun-
Gil TO regulate street railways. Section l
of the ordinance provides that no rails
shall be used weighing less than fifty
pounds Whether the rails are TO weigh
fifty pounds to the foot or to the yard or
to the rail is not stated, but judging by the
language of the ordinance it is the latter.
AS the rails run about q feet in length a
rail weighing only fifty pounds would be a
rather attentuated piece of iron. The in
tention OF the ordinance was that no rails
should be used weighing less than fifty
pounds 10 the yard, but il does not so
state. The street railway company is very
kindly conforming to the intention of the
ordinance, however, by laying rail weigh
ing fifty pounds TO the word.

MISS ALICE NAY WHITE DEAD.
She Was One of the Most Beloved
Teachers in the Public Schools.


Miss Alice May White. ten years a
teacher in the Massie street school, died
yesterday morning at the resi-
dence of her parents, Capt.
and Mrs J. p. White, No. 440 Lin
coin street. She had been in delicate
health and an acute attack Of typhoid
pneumonia, which confined her two weeks,
brought death more as a solace than a
pain.
Miss White left the school room two
weeks ago. Her colleagues We're extreme
ly soicltous fearing she would be unable
to survive an illness of any great length.
1t was with the deepest sorrow that her
devoted pupils received the news of her
decline from day to day, knowing the end
was rapidly approaching The disease had
gotten a hold which 1t seemed impossible
TO release, and in the presence Of loving
relations. she passed peacefully away.
Probably there were none of the city
school teachers more genuinely beloved
both in and out of the schools than was
Miss White. She was possessed of the quail
tiles Of true wOmanliness and had the
sweet gifts of perfect impair
tally fairness and justice. Never
was she known to make pref
erence in the school room, giving to one
a smile and another a rebuke. 1T was
these attributes which commended her to
her pupils love, confidence and obedience.
The school room was controlled by that
gentle disposition and kindness which de-
hes anything else than the humDlest re-
spect. This power of controlling pupils
was her own popularity and admits OF
no analysis.
The teachers feel a keen, deep sorrow
in her loss. She had been long associated
with them in their work. Her place at the
teachers meetings was rarely vacant, and
none entered more earnestly into the spir-
it of school work. 1t was this attentive
ness which won her the promotion as
teacher of the fourth grade and ranked
her as one of the most competent and re-
liable of teachers.
A letter of coincidence was sent the grief
stricken family yesterday by Prof. Otis
Ashmore and the teachers.
The funeral services will be held at st.
Johns Episcopal church at o'clock this
afternoon.

hand craving admission into the frateT-
nifty of the full-grown Hoo-Hoos, to the
number of forty. Scrivenoter j. H. Baird
of Nashville a member of the supreme
nine of the order, has written that he eX-
poets TO be on hand. 1t may be that an
other member of that august body will be
had to grace the concatenation.
The banquet that will follow the conca-
tenation will have rare toasts and re-
sponses. They have not yet been arrang-

among the members and it is expected
that some great efforts in a forsenic way
will be made
The call to the cats that has been is
sued by the sharks to the loyal Hoo-Hoos
is as follows

which will be rendered the serene privi-
lege of walking in the borders of Hoo-Hoo
Land, and through its fragrant and balmy
gardens, and drinking of it's life-giving
springs, there to receive the genuine light
which glows in the domain of health hap
piness and long life.
''The confederation will be followed by
a banquet.
Hoping to welcome you with a num-
her of purblind kittens, in the grand pro
cession at the time and place above men-
