Davis expenses on her trip to Savannah.
Her offer TO come here was received with
delight, as it was thought her presence
would conduce greatly to the re-establish-
ment of the society upon the popular foot
Ing it held some time ago. There were
seventeen circles of the Kings Daughters
in Savannah not later than three years
ago.
1t is not known how many dele
gates will be in attendance, but it is ex-
pected that the number viii be large. Mrs.
J. A. Thomas of Macon, state secretary,
will not be present, but her reports will
be submitted.
Mrs. Isabella Charles Davis is CORE
spending secretary of the Central Council
of the society at New York She Is a wo-
man of untiring zeal and energy in the
Kings cause, and her presence and in
fiuence in the convention Is expected to be
of great benefit in reawakening tagging
interest and putting the organization upon
the footing 1t held UP to year or two
ago.
Mrs. Davis left New York the middle of
last month on her tour over the country 70
attend number of conventions. She went
first to st. Louis, and from there to Kan
sas City, where the Missouri convention
was held. She then visited Topeka, Kan,
Memphis Tenn, Louisville, KY, and Ak
ron. o. After that she returned to New
York, and was present at the Pennsylvan-
Ia convention at Philadelphia. This week
will be divided between Charleston and
Savannah, and afterwards she will go to
Tarboro, N. c., to attend the convention.
Another very talented lady, Mrs Mary
Lowe Dickinson, general secretary of the
organization and the editor of the Silver
Cross, the organ Of the Kings Daughters,
was expected to pay the cities named
visit, together with Mrs. Davis, but she
IS i'll at her home in Washington and is
unable to travel. She was to have been
in Savannah in company with Mrs. Davis,
but was prevented from coming.

the order. She is a contributor Of fire.

sci shall be free from disease on her ar
rival and shall have had no disease on
board during the voyage.
A more interesting question than that of
allowing vessels to come TO the Savannah
quarantine came before the board, how
ever, in the shape of protest signed by
a number of well known property owners
and residents in the vicinity of Hall and
Lincoln streets, against the proposed cree
ton by Drs. J. ID. and s. Prosser, of the
Abbo sanitarium at the southeast corner
OF Hall and Lincoln streets. The pro-
test mentioned, among other grounds of
objection, that 1t was proposed TO treat
at this sanitarium Infectious and contag-
ious, as well as other diseases. The pro-
test declares that the establishment of
such an institution for such purposes
would be of great injury to property own
ers in that vicinity and would tend to
greatly depreclate the value of their prop
erty
The protest was discussed at length and
the result was the adoption Of resolu-
tlon that the parties interested be notified
to appear before the board at 4:S0 o'clock
Tuesday afternoon for the purpose OF
showing cause why the board should not
recommend TO council that the permission
given for the erection of the building be
revoked.
The directors to the erection Of the san
itaLiuiH are very huun IN earnest ana VIII
make a strong fight The Drs. Abbo have
purchased the lot at the corner stated
and have announced their intention of
erecting a building their to be used as a
sanitarium.
Tuesday afternoon being the regular
meeting Of the sanitary board other mat
ters viii come up. The committee ap-
pointed at the previous meeting to submit
a report on regulations for the govern
mcnt OF the quarantine will probably
make its report. The committee has
closely studied tho regulations IN force al
New orleans and its report will probably
embody the main features Of the New or
leans system. with n slightly strleter
quarantine probably. This Is an impor-
tant subject and may not be finally de-
terminod at one meeting.

BICYCLES NOT TO BE TAXED.
NO LIKELIHOOD OF AN ORDINANCE
TO THAT EFFECT.

Alderman Davis Says He Has no In
tentiOn of Introducing Such an Or
dinance in COunciI-NOt an Antag-
Onist of the BicycIIsts, He Says,
But Doing Everything He Can for
Them-BicycIiSts Should Have re-
gard for other Peoples Rights, He
Thinks.
Alderman 7. J. Davis, chairman Of the
street and lane committee Of council, said
last night, that he has no intention of in
Producing an ordinance in council impos-
ing a tax upon bicycles.
Il have not the slightest idea Of intro
ducing any such ordnance" said Alder
man Davis, land do not care to be cred
tied with such an intention. do not know,
however. but that such an ordinance
would be on the right line. The bicyclists
have failed to return their property for
taxation as they should have done. I am
informed that only one bicycle has been
returned for taxation this year, and yet
there are said to be nearly 5000 bicycles in
the city. The bicyclists are very forward
in demanding rights and privileges, and it
share of the burden. While many intelli-
gent bicyclists would no doubt agree to a
tax as just and right, the majority would
almost certainly regard it as an imposi-
ton and outrage. The city is doing all 1t
can to make things pleasant for the BIZ
cyclists and any impression to the con-
trary is wrong. think the bicyclists
should not forget that other people have
rights besides themselves, though. We
endeavored to give them the free use of
the Drayton and Whitaker street walks
at Forsyth park and think they should
keep off the CASTOR street walk and the
Bull street walk, both in the park and park
extension. Their use of these walks is dan
gerous to pedestrians, particularly at
night
You fellows seem to be trying to get
out the impression continued Alderman
Davis, that I am an enemy of the bcy-
ciists. You never were worse mistaken
in your lives. 1 don't ride a bicycle my
self, but have six wheels in my house. I
bought two new wheels yesterday for my
little girls. l can't afford to antagonize
the bicyclists. They would make it too
hot for me at home"
Alderman Davis is devoting himself to
the problem of furnishing more paved
streets for the bicyclsts TO make use Of,
as well as the rest of the community 1t
is safe to say that before his term Is out
the bicyclists will have more to
thank him for than any previous chair
man of the streets and lanes.

kilograms were received in the city yes
terday announcing the death of Mr..
George w. walthour, at the home Of his
sister, Mrs e. z. Kirby, in Atlanta, at
midnight the night before. The news was
received with general regret.
Mr.. Walthour came to Savannah from
Walthourville, Liberty county, several
years ago, and had been in the employ,
during the greater part of that time, of
the firm of G. w. Tiedeman & Bro. He
had been in ill-health for several months,
and had the services of several physi-
clans. but without benefit He left the
city recently for LAGRANGE, going from
there to Atlanta. The cause of his death
is supposed to have been indigestion or
heart trouble, resulting from long-stand-
ing liver and stomach complaints.
The deceased was a son of the late Rus
sell Walthour of Walthourville, and a
grandson of the late Judge w. b. Flem-
ing. His brother, Mr.. R. F. Walthour of
this city, left for Atlanta yesterday morn
ing. Besides his brother the deceased
leaves a mother and two sisters. The
body will probably be taken from Atlanta
to Walthourville for interment.

STRIKE OF THE RosrN ROLLERS.
The Work on the Wharves Delayed
Very Little.

very
The section hands, who were brought
into the city to do the work of the striking
dock laborers on the Plant system rosin
yards, have all been returned to their
homes. The last detachment was sent out
yesterday. The work is now being done
chiefly by local labor, though most of the
strikers still hold aloof. The police were
on duty as usual yesterday morning, but
there was no trouble of any kind.
Mr.. T. A. Yeomans, local agent of the
Plant system, said last night that there
were lis men at work at the rosn yard
during the day, and that the force is well
UP with the work. even more so than usual
on Saturday nights. The hands quit work
at o'clock. By agreement between Mr..
Yeomans and Acting Chief of Police
Reilly, the new men and the old men, or
strikers, were paid off separately The
new men were paid off at the wharf while
the old men were paid what was due
them for their work during the first part
of the week at the freight Office on Liberty
street. This prevented any clash between
the strikers and the men who have taken
their places. The precaution was a time
ly one, and doubtless prevented trouble
a squad of police was on hand at each
