noilinisy ar tho Tomb of G.ant.


 The closing portion of President MeKinIey's address at the Grant monument dedication was as follows: With Washington and Lincoln, Cigaat hss an exalted place in the history and affections of the people. Today bis memory is held in equal esteem by those whom he led to victory as b. those who accepted his generous terms of peace. Veteran leaders of the blue and gray here meet, not only to honor the name of tbe departed Grant, but to testify . Co the living reality of the fraternal spirit which has triumphed over the differences Of the past and trans teudel the limitations of sectional hues, Its completion, which we pray God speed, will be the nations greatest glory. 1t is right then that Grant should have 8 memorial com mensurate with his greatest, and that hIs last resting place should be the city of his choice, to which he was as attached in life and of whose ties he was not forgetful even in death. Fitting, too, IS It that the great soldier should sleep beside the native river on whose banks he first learned tho art of war, and of which he became master and leader with out Q rival. New York holds in its keeping the precious dust of the siieut soldier, but his achievements, what he and his brave comrades wrought for mankind, are in the keep,ng of seventy millions of Amer ican citizeus, who will guard the sacred heritage forever and forever more."

A Valuable Invention

A Phenik man, according to the Republican. has invented an appli- ance for the prevention of runaways, The inventor is the proprietor of the Phenix steam laundry, and his in- vention was born of necessity, for the laundry teams used to run away with such great regularity every afternoon, that once in a while, when there was no runaway, people regarded the circumstance as a phenomenon, like shower of fish or an air ship. The device consists of a cog or sprocket wheel attached to the inner side of the hub of one of the hind wheels. A shifting iron bar attached to the axle has cog wheel attached to the end. In the middle of the bar there is a cylinder from which ropes run to the bits of the horses. A lever within reach of the driver, in this case just behind the seat, joins the cog wheel at the end of the bar to the cog wheel on the hub. A forward motion of the wagon then winds up the ropes and the horses are lifted of their fore feet and set up like trick ponies. The driver wanting to leave the wagon has only to throw the lever into position. and his team is as secure as if it were anchored to a rock. A patent has been applied for, and the invention is likely to be so remuneratiye that the inventor will some day bless the necessity which gave it birth.

 There were fifteen members of tn Grant family on the presidential stand Tuesday morning, iu New ! York, at the Grant memorial exer- cises, of which eight are grand children of the late general. In the afternoon the family was at 1 home to intimate friends at the resi- dence of Colonel Grant, on East Sixty-second Street, but there was no formal reunion. Tuesday night the entire family dined together. A Chicago jury discovered the other day, when it retired to make up it's verdict, that one of its num- Der did not understand a word of English. However, he had made up his mind that the accused men were guilty of the robbery charged and as the other eleven men thought likewise, they brought in verdict to that effect.

A Michigan county treasurer has

A Michigan county treasurer has had a painful experience with a billy goat. The officer became dis trustful of the safe in his office, and carried home the cash, which he hid under the house in an iron pot. The goat crawled under the house and devoured S41S in green backs, and was chewing away industriously st a big silver dollar when a neighbor's son saw him and gave the alarm. The goat was killed and the gresn- backs taken from his Habominable Yiscera," as the late John Owens would have said. Ths government has identified $l30 of the amount, but the treasureR's bondsmen will have 10 pay the rest. That goat was "Hogan's Alley politician.--L. A l. Times. ::

sAVANNAH'S TREE LIFE.
DendrOIOsist SudwOrth to Make a
Report Upon 1t.


The park and tree commission met yes
terday afternoon and discussed various
.matters pertaining to the department. 1t
was announced that Mr.. E. b. Sudworth,
dendrologist, had been detailed by Assist
ant Secretary of Agriculture Charles w.
Dabney, Jr., to visit Savannah for the
specific purpose of investigating the ne
cessities and conditions of tree life in Sa-
vannah.
Mr.. Sudworth is to make a special re-
port on this subject to the agricultural de-
partment. The report, however, is in
tended chiefly for the information of the
members of the Savannah park and tree
commission Mr.. Sudworth is expected
here to-day and will probably spend a
week investigating the condition here.
The members of the commission expect
to secure much valuable information as
the result of Mr.. Sudworths visit. Den
drology, according TO the dictionary, is
the study of the natural history of trees
and a dendrologist is. therefore, a student
of the natural history of trees.
Commissioner Baldwin announced that
the new brown canvas uniforms selected
for the park and tree force had been pur-
chased and that the men would appear in
them shortly.
The work of the commission having
been taken out of the hands of the public
works commissioner, the park and tree
commission finds itself without any equip
ment 1t was decided to purchase two
horses, a dump cart and several hand
carts A large lawn cleaner has already
been purchased.
A copy of the amendment to the park
and tree commission act, by which Laurel
Grove cemetery is placed under control of
the commission, was received from Clerk
of Council Manucy and filed with the rec
ords of the commission. Supt. A B. La =
Roche of Laurel Grove cemetery reported
to the commission for instructions. Com
missioners Daffin and Baldwin were ap-
pointed a committee on Laurel Grove Gem
etery, 10 make Investigations and report
recommendations to the next meeting of
the commission.
Mr.. John S. Bowen was appointed clerk
to the commission. He will have charge
of the books and accounts.
