ICE CREAM JIM AGAIN.

a peace warrant yesterday afternoon by
Justice Waring Russell, Jr Jim says that

serve the peace. as naturally he is the
most tractable and peaceable man in exis-

cord Of the many scraps into which Jim
has gotten would not seem to bear out his
assertions of his repugnance for difficult
ties. Jim says his fights only come about
through his absolute refusal TO be run

TWO BEAUTIFUL MONUMENTS.
Tributes of Love and Affection in
Italian Marble.


The erection of a beautiful monument in
Laurel Grove cemetery was completed last
week. The monument was erected by
Capt w T. Gibson to the memory of his
daughter, Ethe. Gibson Taylor, whose sad
death two years ago, is well remembered.
The monument is a life-size statue of a
draped female figure in a sitting position,
with ivy and morning glories scattered al
her feet. The plaster cast for the figure
was made by a Washington firm from a
photograph of Mrs Taylor, taken during
life. The plaster cast was sent to a noted
firm of marble workers in Italy and the
likeness repeated in pure white Italian
marble. The monument was shipped to Sa-
vannah recently and was put in position by
Mr.. p. Hagan. The monument is one of
the most beautiful in the cemetery, and is
situation on the fifth avenue in the Old
northeastern portion.
Another very handsome monument of
Italian marble, recently erected in Laurel
Grove, is that of Mrs. Bessie Brown Fetz-
er, by her husband, Mr.. r. G. Fetzer The
design is a miniature female figure lean
ing against a cross with flowers falling
from her hands, all in pure white marble.
This monument is in the fifth aisle to the
left of the main entrance.
The two monuments mentioned are
thought by many who have seen them 10
be the best in many respects in Laurel

AN OPEN LETTER,

Abbo Medical Institute ia Liberty
Street. West, Savannah. Ga.-Gentlemen:
The great benefit derived from your SER
vices recently rendered me. when I had
this misfortune to break my collar-bone,
prompts the writing of this letter. The
skillful city surgeon, whom l called in on
my return home failed. after three days.
trial, to properly set the fracture or to
restore the bones to the correct position in
which even the country doctor had left
them My suffering was so intense that
l was kept under the influence of opiates.
and on the third day another eminent sur
geon was called to assist in the work. For
two days more these physicians worked
on the case, but only increased my suffer-
ing. Then. in spite of discussions, / sent
for you, and l certainly appreciate your
excellent management of the case hav-
ing set the bone within twenty minutes
after being called. ] wish also to men,
tion that all opiates were dispensed with
and the large lump which the physicians
who first tried to master the case stated
would remain has not been visible since
your treatment. In this accident I feel
that I was doubly unfortunate; in the
first place that it should have happened
at all, and in the second that ! did not
send for you and save myself much tor
ture. Yours respectfully.
M ED. WILSON.
Such testim onials as the above speak
in unm!stakable terms and establish be-
yond doubt, that, as physician, Abbo is
exceled by none. They also explain why
he has made many bitter enemies and
Jealous rivals. They bring to light a
weak comparison of the office lounging,
don't advertise professional physi-
clan and would-be surgeons" to the busy
Abbo Medical Institute, and the Skill
learning, and power of its medical staff

, Again the skill as a surgeon and ability
as a physician has brought Abbo into
prominence. Ais knowledge of surgery
and his ability to put that knowledge into
use when called upon, clearly Demon
strates that there are among the profess
sional croakers some who should study
anatomy, physiology and other studies Of
the first years course of medicine instead
of worrying over the success Of the Abbo
Institute and wasting their time by max
ing ridiculous attempts to stay its prog
ress. Again has the superior skill of Abbo
made remarkable to the public the smab
amount of learning possessed by these
professional individuals, and again the
public may expect 10 be apprised of some
new attack, senseless of course, on the
Abbo Institute. Abbo publishes testimo-
malls only from reliable and well known
people.
Nearly every one in Savannah is ac-
quainted with Mr.. NJ. Ed Wilson. Those
who do not know him personally know
him as a successful and popular young
business man who has conducted for years
the best photograph gallery in the city.
Mr.. Wilson is a bicycle enthusiast and in
July entered the races in Valdosta. There
he had the misfortune to fall from hls
wheel and break his clav.cle. A physician
of Valdosta attended the injury and after
approximating the fracture told Mr. VIII
son he might return home. Feeling a lit
tie pain after reaching Savannah he called
in a Savannah physician, who. after, re-
moving the dressing and making COM
ments upon the skill of the country doc
tor, attempted to improve upon the work.
Then began Mr.. Wilson's agony. which IS
best told in his letter to the public

Industrial disturbances from which speedy
relief must be had. our financial system
needs some revision; our money Is all
good now, but its value must not further
be threatened. 1t should all be put on an
enduring basis, not subject to easy attack,
nor its stability to doubt or dispute. our
currency should continue under the super
vision of the government. The several
forms of our paper money offer IN my JudB-
ment, a constant embarrassment to the
government and a safe balance in the treas
ury. Therefore l believe it necessary to
devise a system which, without diminish
ing the circulating medium, or otterlnB
premium for its contraction, will present
a remedy for those arrangements which,
temporary in their nature, might well in
the years Of our prosperity have been dis
placed by wiser provisions. With adequate
revenue secured, but not until then, we
can enter upon such changes in our fiscal
laws as will, while insuring safety and vol
.ume to our money, no longer impose upon
the government the necessity of maintain
ing so large a gold reserve, with its attend
ant and inevitable temptations to specula-
tion.
Most Of our financial laws are the out
growth of experience and trial, and should
not he amended without investigation and
demonstration of the wisdom Of the pro-
posed changes. We must be both sure we
are right and make haste slowly If
therefore, congress in its wisdom shall
deem it expedient to create a commission
to take under early consideration the re-
vision of our coinage, banking ana cur
renCy laws, and give them that exhaustive,
careful and dispassionate examination
that their importance demands, shall cor
daily concur In such action. If such power
Is vested in the president, 1t Is my purpose
to appoint a commission OF prominent
well-infOrmed citizens of different parties,
who will command public confidence both
on account of their ability and special fit
ness for the work. Business experience
