Look ReIow the surface.

When you are solicited 10 take life in

"nigger in the wood pile" there's some
thing wrong about It somewhere. You do
not buy cheap groceries for your FAM

the end would prove far from being cheap.

GRAND DUCHESS MAY COME OFF.
Understood She VIII BE Withdrawn
From Service.

While there has been no announcement
to that effect. il is pretty well under
stood that the steamship Grand Duchess
is TO be Withdrawn from the Ocean Steam
ship line. The vessel is now laid up in
New York Her crew has been dischars-
ed. only her officers being retained.
on her last trip from Savannah several
tubes in her boilers blew out. Six OF
the eight boilers were disabled and the
vessel steamed into New York with
only two main boilers and
the donkey" boiler intact In
the explosion one fireman was
badly scalded. 1t was announced
that the tubes would be replaced, the boil
ers repaired and the vessel would take
her place again in a few days. Little deh-
mite Information is obtainable here but
from what can be learned there is a mis-
unders landing between Mr.. Plant and the
ships builders as to the work, and if the
vessel is replaced on the line at all it
will at least be a month or probably six
weeks before she can be got ready,
When the Grand Duchess made her first
trip from New York to Savannah. aftel
having been overhauled by her
trip was TO decide her acceptance
or rejection by Mr.. Plant. The vessel was
brought down by Capt Passow of the
steamship City Of New York. The build
ers' experts and representatives of the
boiler builders were on board and the
ship was practically in their hands. A
preliminary trial trip had already been
made, it was stated, with satisfactory re-
suits. The vessel failed to come up 10
expectations, however, on her regular trip.
The next trip and the trip following gave
no better results and it is understood that
Mr.. Plant declined to accept the ship
with her present boilers. The ship build
ing company, ii is said. will not replace
the boilers with another type unless Mr..
Plant will agree to accept the ship when
they have been put in. This, 1t Is said,
he viii not agree to do. A change of boil
ers, boiler builders estimate, will cost be-
tween Sl25000 and $l50,000 The builders
have already lost, it Is stated. over $500, 900
on the vessel and they do not care to go
any deeper. Neither does Mr.. Plant care
to continue the experiment of water tube
boilers. What the result will be remains
to be seen.
The laying up of the Grand Duchess has
disarTanged the schedules of the Ocean
Steamship Company, and, with the proba-
bility of its being some time before the
vessel is again ready for service, it is
understood she viii be dropped from the
companys schedules. The steamship
Kansas City is waiting to be overhauled
and will be laid up as soon as the sailings
of the other ships can be arranged

RIFLE MATCH CALLED OFF.
New YOrk's Crack Regiment Team
Asks "A PostDOnement Until Spring.

Asks OstDonement Until Spring
The match between the Savannah rifle
team and team Of the Twenty-third Reg
iment of the New York National Guard.
which had been arranged for Thanksgiv-
ing day. is off.
A telegram was received yesterday by
Capt. w. w. Williamson, captain Of the
Savannah team, from capt. Russell Hoag.
captain of the Brooklyn team, and in
spector Of rife practice Of the Twenty
third Regiment, inqu.ring if it would suit
to postpone the match until spring. Capt.
Williamson replied that his men were busy
now, and would prefer to wait until
spring. This settled the Thanksgiving day
match.
When seen by a Morning News reporter,
capt. Williamson said: Il have been en-
deavoring for some time to get some sat
isfactory information from the Brooklyn
people, but did not succeed in doing so
until the receipt of Capt. Hoag's telegram
to-day, this being the first answer to my
letters on the subject l discussed the
match with Capt Hoag when in New
YORK last July on my way to Europe. He
was DESTROYS of arranging it, and at my
suggestion sent a formal challenge, which,
IN my absence, was addressed to Capt.
George I. Cam. The challenge was for
mally accepted. Capt. Hoag was at Sea
Girt in September, and We discussed the
match together. After returning to Sa-
Vannah, l awaited further information as
to the intention of the Brooklyn team, but
received none. I have written several let
tiers for the purpose of securing definite
information as to the intentions of the
Brooklyn team. The result is Capt.
Hoas's request to postpone the match, to
which have agreed. Our men are very
busy now, and it would be very inconve-
nient to them to have to give the neces-
sary time to practice in preparation for
the match. We hope to get the Brooklyn
men here next spring"
SaVannahians generally and especially
the military viii be disappointed at the
announcement that the team of the Twen-
Guard, will not compete with the SaVan-
nah team on the Avondale range on
Thanksgiving. 1t would have been the
event of the day in miitaryecrcles.
The match with the Brooklyn team was
for shots each at the 200, 3OO 500 and 600
yard ranges, with the usual conditions at
tached to these contests. The Twenty
third regiment is one of the leading mill
tary organizations in the north and num-
bers many fine shots among Its members,
several of whom have participated with
the New York team in the contests at Sea
Grit. 1t would have given the mem bers
of the Savannah team great pleasure to
compete with these fine shots at Avon
dale. The members of the Rifle Range
Association are anxious to get northern
teams to compete at Avondale, and further
efforts will be made in this direction.

Talk With the Professionals.
The three strangers who struck Savan-

efterward on a charge of gambling will

their game pretty well until they were

Work Under the Present Contract

W inc
VIII BE Completed About Jan. 1.
The work on the new public building I'M
der the present contract will be completed
about Jan. /. Messrs. Miles & Bradt, both
of whom are now in the city, stated yes
terday that they expected to have all of
their work completed about that time, and
the building will be in shape to receive
the interior work, plumbing and finish
ings.
The government has already advertised
for bids for wiring the building for cleo
trio lights, and it is expected advertise
ments will be published for the work on
the interior before the work under the
present contract is completed in order
that there may be no delay.
The work on the tower Is rapidly near
ing completion. The eighth story is now
being put up, and there is only one more
to so on top of that. While the building
proper is only three stories in hight, the
tower will have nine stories, and will be
topped off with a four sided soping roof.
The Spanish tile for the roof of the build
ing is expected to arrive tomorrow and
will be put on at once. The hollow tile
flooring is nearly all in, and while there
is q good deal of work vet to be done it
is more in the nature of detail work, which,
while it requires as much or more time
than the other work, does not make so
much of a showing of progress. The ele-
vator will run up to the fourth floor in
the tower, and the other stories in that
part of the building will be reached by
stairs.
The new building will be one of the
handsomest in the country. Its appear
ance gives more indication of this every
day, and it's interesting detail is a study
for almost every one who passes 1t. The
