Helpless AS to Bread.

Captain Bliss was like all a
strict disciplinarian, and his crew re-
spected him beyond measure. Not one
of them would have dreamed Of inter-
preting a command otherwise than ac-
cording to the strict letter of the law.
Things must be done shipshape under
his rule.
One day, while the ship was in q GER
tain port, the captain gave a dinner to
some town acquaintances, and Is the

some of the sailors were deputed to wait
on the table to ~re-enforce the insufficient
number of stewards.
AS these men were not used to such
work each one was told exactly what
service would fall to his share.
The hour came, and the dinner went
merrily IN. Presently, however, one of
the ladies wanted q piece of bread.
There was o n very near her, and the
finely disciplined stewards seemed to be
quite oblivious to her need. She turned
her head and spoke very softly to the
man at her elbow.
BREAD. please" she said.
He looked regretfully at the bread
and then at her. It was evident that he
would fain have helped her if it had
been in his power. He saluted in fine
naval style.

RICH SENATORS.

Hf. Curtis Says There Are Only Three

There are not more than three genu.

Mr.. Cameron. MI. Mcmillan Of Mjchi-
gan and Mr.. Wetmore Of Rhode Island.
Mr.. Boyer. Mr.. Jones Of Nevada. Nh.
Stewart and Mr.. Elkins have q deal Of
speculative wealth. and II they could
realize upon their expectations they
might be considered millionaires also,
but they are not rich men like Mr.. Nc
MILAN of Michigan, who has his money
invested in what MI. Micawber called
portable property, and MI. Cameron,
who owns rolling mills, railroad stock,
coal mines and is interested in other big
profit paying enterprises.
Senator Sherman is q wealthy man.
He is probably worth $3.50, 900, al
though he has the reputation of being a
millionaire. His money is largely in
vested in Washington real estate. He
bought a great deal Of land in this city
in the early days Of its improvement,
and still holds a large part of 1t, which
has rapidly increased in value. But his
wealth has always been overestimated
by the newspapers.
The wife Of Senator Hale inherited
several millions from her father, the late
Senator Chandler of Michigan, and he,

Wampum is from an Algonquin word

ever been fond Of ornaments, particu-

of seashells in the following way: A

it was then fastened to a ! zee Of cane
or a reed. With this simple tool the In.

statement that the English admiralty

DIR. LeHardy to Inspect the National
Station.

Health Officer LeHardy will leave this
morning for the sapelo quarantine station
on trip OF. inspection. The trip. includ-
ing the voyage going and returning, will
occupy three days
DR.. LeHardy has invited the members Of
the sanitary board and several city Of
ficials and citizens to accompany him on
the trip. Up to last night, however, only
declinations had been received from men,
bers of the sanitary board, the trip being
somewhat too inconvenient for them Maj.
c. S. iardee and Mr.. J. w. Burgess how
ever have expressed their intention Of
making the trip and DR.. LeHardy is in
hopes of having DR.. W. w. Owens and
Alderman T. S. Wylly of the sanitary
board, and perhaps Mr.. Paul NJ. LeHardy
of the city engineers office. Master Ralph
Meldrim will go as one of the crew, hav-
ing so far recovered from his recent
injury as 10 enable him to make
the trip. Master Meldrim has developed an
inclination for the piotage and will devote
his attention to the work of the pilot
house on the trip
The party will leave the city at 10 o Clock
on the city tug Theckla. 1t will hardly
arrive at Sapelo before o'clock, which
will be too late for anything except per-
haps little fishing. Tomorrow DR.. Lee
Hardy viii devote to a thorough inspec-
ton of the government quarantine sta
ton, and the party wiz return to Savan-
nah Saturday night or Sunday.
DR.. LeHardy has been DESTROYS of visit
ing the government quarantine station
ever since he assumed his duties as health
officer. request upon DIR. Nydegger of
the marine hospital service, who is now in
charge of the station, for permission
TO visit 1t was met with the
courteous reply that he would be
welcome at any time, but as there were
some infected vessels at the station at the
time that it would be we'll to defer the visit.
DIR. p. M. Darlington of the marine hos
pital service has been in Savannah this
week on an inspecting tour and gave the
Savannah quarantine station a thorough
inspection. securing full information as to
the plant, equipment and system of quar-
antine. DR.. LeHardy concluded to return
the compliment and pay a similar visit of
inspection to the government station at
Sapelo. On account of the close proxi-
nifty of this station to Savannah the fact
that many vessels bound for this port are
disinfected there and that in case of any
contagious or epidemic disease appearing
aboard vessel arriving at this port or
neighboring ports they would be sent there
for treatment, the condition and conduct
of the Sapelo quarantine are of especial
interest 10 the health officer of this port
as well as the city authorities generally.
Consequently DIR. LeHardy's visit is not
an idle one. He will doubtless have an
interesting report TO make on his return.
