The committee of arrangements for the

liens of the centennial birthday of Kaiser

Messrs. f. A. Gieseler, Erich Fabrius. c. II.
Keller, F. H. Upper. j. C. F. Rendant G.
Fostering and Emil Peters, all of whom
were present.
There is a good deal of enthusiasm
among the German citizens over the cele-
bration. The anniversary Is being observ-
ed wherever there are Germans. In Ger
many it is an occasion for a national cele-
bratlon and in this country Americanized
Germans are also going to periodically
celebrate the birthday of the man who
united the Fatherland. Chatham Artillery
hall will be used for the celebration. 1t
will be gaily decked with the
national colors of America and Germany.
A band will furnish the Inspiring airs of
the Germans, and the customs and observ-
ances of their country on feast day occa-
be in the German tongue
Mr.. Erich FabariuS will preside as
master of ceremonies. Mr.. Jacob Rauers
was requested TO act in that capacity, but
owing to his enforced absence from the
city on Monday, the anniversary of the
emperor's birth, he could not accept.

now HE GOT HIS HOME FREE.

A Few Years of FrugaIity and Judi
cious borrowing of Money Did 1t.
What can be done by an industrious and
frugal man in providing a home for him
self and family was well illustrated in a
conversation that took place yesterday in
the Office of the Chatham Real Estate and
Improvement Company.
A borrower called to pay his monthly in
stallment of $3.50 on loan made to him
on the ten-year plan. In speaking about
how he came to be a borrower, the gentle
man said he came to Savannah seven years
ago and accepted a position here. Of
course, he had family, and it was there
fore necessary that he should secure a
home. He hunted the city UP and down,
but could find no vacant house in good
neghborhood to suit his wife and himself
except at rentals of $50 to $40 a month.
A friend who had bought a house with
the aid of the Chatham Real Estate and
Improvement Company suggested that he
might buy home and pay for it in that
way. Acting on the suggestion, he looked
about and found a house which could be
bought for $500 and upon which the Chat
ham was willing to make a loan. The mar
gin required by the company was 5000
That was borrowed by the assistance of
his friend from bank, and in due course
of events the gentleman found himself the
owner of a good house for which he was
to pay less than he could have rented one
for, and which in the course of ten years
would be his and not the property of a
landlord. He said that he had long since
repaid the $500 which he borrowed. and all
his installments to date, and had also
made considerable improvements to his
property; all at less cost than the monthly
rentals he would have paid for the ONLY
house which would have suited his wife
and himself. In three years more the bor
rover will be free of rent and free of debt
This is not written as an advertisement
for loan company, but to point a moral.
namely: That it is not difficult for a man
OF small means to become a house owner
Doubtless it often required self dental
and many little economies on the part of
Mr.. --- and his wife to keep up their
payments to the loan company. but II
would have been the same had they paid
rent for house instead of buying one on
the instalment plan. OF course in order
that a plan of buying a home in this wav
should work out right, it is necessary that
the transaction should be with a reliable
company so that the borrower will not he

SOUTH DRoAD's PAVING FINISHED.
The Pavement to BE Inspected by
City officials To-day.

The last block of the asphalt pavement
on South Broad street was completed yes
terday, and the entire street was thrown
open to travel. Commissioner of Public
Works Willink will make an inspection
of the street to-day, in company with
the city engineer, for the purpose of as
pertaining If the contra actors have COM
piled with their contract in every respect.
The street will be flooded unless the
rain makes this unnecessary, for the pur-
pose of ascertaining whether the water
runs off freely or remains standing in
pools, the ability to shed water freely be-
ing one of the requisites for a first-class
asphalt pavement The pavement has
already been altered in several places by
the contracting company, in order to com
ply with this condition.
The block of asphalt paving north Of the
court house on President street was also
completed yesterday. If the weather
permits, the York street block to the
south of the court house will probably be
completed to-day. 1t does not seem like
ly that the city will do any more as
phalt paving before the summer season
sets in, when paving operations will be
suspended until fall.
The petition of the Drayton street prop
erty owners for an asphalt pavement on
that street is IN the hands of the street
and lane committee of council, and a re-
port will probably be made at the meet
ing of council next Wednesday night. The
heavy expense of paving South Broad
street, together with other paving work
now in progress, disincline council to IN
dertake further expenditure on that line
at present.
The people who live on Drayton street,
however, as well as the large number of
people who make use of it every
day. are very anxious that something be
done for its improvement at once, ana
steps may be taken to bring the matter
directly to the attention of council.

GIVEN $3.50 ATTORNEYS FEES.
Verdict for. Messrs. Hardee ana
Richards Against the +. c. and p.

Verdict for Messrs. Hardee and
Richards Against the +. c. and p.
Messrs. r. r. Richards and William
Pearson Hardee won their suit in the city
court yesterday, in which they appeared
for Maria L. Raglan, against the Florida
Central and Peninsular railroad, and were
given a verdict for $3.50 attorneys fees.
The plaintiff sued the road for $1,000
damages for personal injuries received in
the wreck at Anderson, during May week.
and the railroad company settled the case
with her for $3.50, after the suit had been
filed. but before the company had been
served, without making the settlement
through her attorneys. Mrs. Ragan stated
on the stand that the settlement was
altogether favorable to it. She said, Also
that she told the representative of the
company to see her lawyers.
Under the evidence and the charge of
the court the jury returned a verdict for
$3.50 attorneys fees but did not give the
plaintiff anything, she already having re-
ceived $3.50 in settlement.
The effect Of this verdict is that in max
ing settlements of cases the attorneys
must be considered, and the settlement
must be made through them, If a suit
has been filed. MIR. S. -. Adams, repre-
senting the defendant, made the point
that no service had been made upon them,
and they had not been notified of the
filing of suit The purport of the court s
charge, however, was that the filing of a
suit was all that was necessary, and upon
that being done the matter was in the
hands of the lawyer.

phoned Policeman Thorpe at the Ocean

TO THE MATERNAL GRANDMOTHER
Judge FerrilI Decides the Habeas

Judge FefrllI OecAUes Nue hdDettS
Corpus in Emma Browns Favor.
Judge Hampton L. Ferrill adjudicated
little habeas corpus case. yesterday, in a
manner that was evidently satisfactory
to all parties concerned.
Emma Brown, an old negro woman,
sued out habeas corpus proceedings
against Emma Woodland, stating that the
latter was in possession of 14-year-old
boy, of which she was the maternal
grandmother, and that the Woodland wo-
man was not entitled to 1t, as she was In
no wise related to IL.
The evidence showed that the Woodland
woman had taken good care of the child,
but the testimonials were so strong in
favor of the maternal grandmother that
Judge Ferrill decided the child should be
placed in her keeping. He taxed the costs
against the plaintiff, however, and made
a present of the amount to the defendant,
who had spent some little time and money
on the boy before he was taken from her.
