man of Washington, d. C. This ceremony
followed the initiation into the order of ten
candidates for Shrlners honors all of.
whom crossed the hot sands of the des-
ert'' as one would say, lin great shape"
The presentation of the charter was an
event Of great interest TO the Savannah
shriners, and they made the most of it, 1t
IS said that there is more real genuine fun
in initiating a candidate into this order,
that Is to say to everybody but the candi-
date, than is found in any other. The ten
candidates for Shriners' honors who learn
ed that lesson last night were Hon. Rufus
T.. Lester, Col. J. Fl. Estill, Messrs. H. p.
Smart, John M. Walker, John r. Young,

eey. John n. Cell, and w. L. Wilson.

chosen some days ago, but the arrival of
Mr. Dingman was awaited before their
installation. The officers were installed
as follows; Potentate. J. II. Cavanaugh;
chief rabban, H. e. Wilson; assistant rab-
ban, Thomas Ballantyne; high priest and

After the secret exercises the Shriners
sat down to a royal feast in their home in
the Masonic temple. and around the ban
Quet board several interesting and enthue-
iastic addresses were made.
Past Imperial Potentate Dingman told
the members of Alec that he had requested
of the imperial potentate permission to
present the charters to this temple and
10 that at Charleston, w. Va. after which
he said he would resign all other occa-
sions TO other officers of the order.
Speeches were made, too, by Imperial
Recorder Is. W. Burwell of Boston, Mass,
and Potentate W. S. Liddell of the temple
at Charlotte, n. c., who, with Mr..
Dingman. declared that they had never
before seen anything like the enthusiasm
displayed at Savannah, where, out of for
ty-eight members, forty-six were present
at the meeting, and two were accounted
for by their absence from the city.
Among others who made short addresses
were Mobiles New of Boomi temple Bal
tlmore: J. II. Cavanaugh ]. r. Saussy
and W. r. Leaken of Alec temple. The
fepast was greatly enjoyed, and II was

TO BE CONTINUED FOR A YEAR.
Freight Bureau subscriptions Foot
Up Nearly $1,000.

Up Nearly $4,000.
The adjourned annual meeting of the
stockholders of the freight bureau will be
held at the rooms of the bureau in the
board of trade building to-day at noon
The question of the continuance of the bu-
reau for another year will be decided. 1t
has already been practically settled in the
affirmative as a sufficiently large number
have already subscribed to insure the con-
tinuance of the bureau.
The amount estimated as necessary to
carry on the work of the bureau for an
other year is S., 0O0 and nearly this amount
has been pledged. The annual meeting
was adjourned on account of the lack of
quorum Of the stock, but this will hardly
be the case to-day.
A member of the board of directors said
yesterday that some of those who were APP
preached for subscriptions to continue the
bureau had argued that there was no need
for its continuance, because there is now
no complaint against the railroad, and the
officials of the latter show desire to give
the business men here every reasonable IA
cllity. This" said the director lis Just
the reason why the bureau should be con-
tnued. The present satisfactory state of
affairs Is due largely to the work of the
bureau. While it is true that there is no
apparent need of it at present we might
soon come to need it should we abandon
it, There is no spirit of antagonism on
the part of the bureau to the railroads We
prefer to work in harmony with them and
the railroad officials understand this. The
bureau is indirectly of service to. the rail-
roads for the reason that great many OF
the complaints presented are unfounded.
or are not based upon sufficient grounds
to make 1t worth while to follow them. up
Sometimes they are due to misunderstood
inss. 1t is the duty of the bureau to ex
plain these things to the compiainants and
the railroads are thereby saved a great
deal of annoyance, which would otherwise
fall to their lot. 1t is to the best interests
of all concerned that the bureau should he

STREET SIGNS NEEDED.
Council Has Had So Much On Its
Hands 1t Has Not Got to Them.

While engrossed in large improvements,
council may have overlooked a small i'm
provement which was promised the people
some time ago.
When the work of house numbering
was undertaken, 1t was understood that
it would be followed by new street signs,
the need of such signs being generally
agreed to.
The last council voted an appropriation
for REMEMBERING the streets. The work
was undertaken and was completed dur
ing the present administration. The idea
of street signs, however, seems to have
dropped out of the public as well as the
aldermanic mind, and nothing further has
been said about the mat
ter for some time 1t is evident, however,
that the new street signs are needed to
complete the new scheme of house num-
bering.
When council had the matter under con-
slderation q number of designs for street
signs were submitted. These are still
stored away in the clerk of councils office.
Mayor Meldrim was spoken to about the
matter recently and said that when the
important matters now under considera-
ton such as house drainage and street
lighting are disposed of, council would
doubtless consider the matter of street
signs 1t will soon take up next years
budget and an appropriation to complete
the scheme of house numbering would not

There was a pleasant entertainment at
Hlbernian hall last night under the aus
pieces of Division No. 2, of the Ancient Or

joyed by the audience. 1t was lively and
enjoyable throughout, and Just long
enough. At the conclusion of the pro-

OCEAN RATES ON COTTON.
Are They the Same or Lower From
Charleston Than From Savannah

Charleston Than From Savannah.
The question has arisen whether
Charleston has or has not cheaper ocean
rates on cotton than Savannah. Some say
the Charleston rates are cheaper, while
others say they are not.
Some of the cotton shippers on the Bay
and some of the ship agents say there is
plenty of freight room Offering from
Charleston to Bremen at 40 cents per hun
dred pounds. while from Savannah the
rate is As cents per hundred. This makes
a difference of about Is cents a bale. These
lower rates from Charleston, they say,
have been in effect for some time and
are not merely for distress room, but are
offered during the month of November.
The matter has excited some discussion,
In view of the fact it was expected that
the Georgia Export and Import Company,
now doing a regular shipping business
from this port, would make every effort
to equalize the rates, and keep them on
an equal basis. Upon inquiry made in
other directions, Ii was ascertained that
a telegram was received in the city yes
terday quoting rates from Charleston to
Bremen for the first half of November at
40 cents, which is the same rate as that
asked from Savannah. The telegram also
stated that the rate asked on Liverpool
cotton for the first half of December from
Charleston was A cents. According to
this information the rates from Savannah
and Charleston are now on an equal basis.
It would be Interesting to know just
what the true situation is. 1t is said the
best evidence of the fact that rates are
on an equal basis is that the cotton is
coming to Savannah right along at the
average rate of something between 5000
and 1000 bales day, and that the cot
ton shippers are using all the freight room
they can get.

QUARANTINE STILL HOLDS ON.
The Sanitary Board Not Ready to Re-
lax 1t Until Frost.

Savannah's quarantine will probably not
be relaxed until cold weather manifests
itself. This may be any time in the near
future. Health officer LeHardy Is desir-
Gus of removing the quarantine now, being
of the opinion that restrictions are no long
er needed. Other memh ers of the sanitary
board do not agree with him, however.
Acting Mayor Hamilton said yesterday
that as yellow fever still exists in Mobile
and New Orleans, the quarantine will
hardly be relaxed until the appearance of
heavy frost As this Is likely at any time,
however, he said II would probably be only
a short time before the restrictions are re-
moved. The sanitary board Will meet next
Tuesday and the subject will doubtless be
discussed then. Now that the yellow fever
scare is over the quarantine restrictions
are proving somewhat irksome, and the
business people are anxious to be relieved
from this Interference with trade.

AT LAW OVER A COIN.
PawnbrOlSer Took as Pledge From
a Party Who Didn't own 1t.

Emmanuel Eichholz, a pawnbroker, do
ing business at Liberty street lane and
East Broad street, complained at the DO
lice barracks yesterday that William Pat
terson, colored, had swindled him by pawn
ing foreign coin, not his property.
Patterson borrowed money fron, ~
broker, it seems, and hypotnecated a. rare
coin as security. Later on. another man
appeared and claimed the coin belonged 10
him. The broker took issue with the man
and the case was taken before a Justice
court. There the coin was given to the
Greek, who was claiming it. 1t seems
that the only recourse the broker then
had, was to prosecute the man who had
originally pawned the coin.

COMMISSIONERS TO MEET.
Some Discussion That May Break
Into the Routine Business.

The county commissioners will hold their
regular November meeting this afternoon
at o'clock. SO far as is known,> not hing
out of the usual order will come before
the board. 1t may be that the question
of appealing TO the supreme court from
the decision of Judge Falligant requiring
the county to rebuild the slSidaway bridge
will be discussed and acted upon.
Commissioner Kehoe has once or twice
threatened to say something positive and
emphatic upon the subject Of road build
ing. He Insists that the county should
not purchase large quantities of gravel
for road paving without first advertising
for bids, and he mas asked why this course
has not been pursued. Commissioner Ke-
~hoe may have something to say on this
subject at the meeting

Our beautiful little city that ha:

Our beautiful little city that has
been SO numerically abused in
the past few years, that has sue
cumbed to the Vaccinations of
scheming and dishonest politi-
clans and officials, is now COM
PEELED to settle down to rock
bottom basis and have its affairs
conducted on economic business
principles or sink into the vortex
of oblivion. Our wonderful Gil
mate, beautiful surrounding coun-
try, verdant soil and patient, law
abiding people are unsurpassed in
the world, but our magnificent
empty bank buildings, our idle in
dustries, empty store-rooms and
empty treasury stand as a mock
cry and monument of our ambi-
tons. These wrecks and ruins
are full of instructions. They
teach US that extravaganza, reck
lessness and dishonesty will not
win either in public or private life.
While the picture is rather a
gloomy one there is no need for
Heterogeneous. The expert.
ences we have passed through
have been rather expensive but
the lessons will fit US for future
usefulness. Our city council is
taking hold of municipal affairs in
manner that means future pros
perity. Many of our people who
have been living lives of extrava-
gance have reformed. They have
resolved to support our home mer
chants, pay their honest debts and
let outside speculation be thing
of the past. If this feeling con-
tinues to prevail our recovery
from the present depression will
be rapid and our material condi.
ton will be infinitely better than
ever before.
