The Southeast Georgian says Col.
Joseph W. Bennett, of Brunswick, was
minglirg with his friends and making
new friends at court. His honsr,
Judge Sweat, has signided his inten-
tion not to offer for the judgeship

candidacy pleases the people, for we
regard him as an able and excellent
man, one who would fill the position
with credit and honor to both himself

WEARY OF LIFE.
Charles Mair, Inmate of Soldiers
Home, Commits Suicide.

Charles Mair, Inmate of Soldiers
Home, Commits Suicide.
Charles MAR, vino was late a private in
Company E, 4th U. s. Infantry. commit
TED suicide yesterday in an outbulding in
the Soldiers Home grounds by hanging
himself. His body was discovered by Lieut..
Laid, who summoned Mounted Policemen
Yetton and Harries, and these officers cut
the rope and lowered the body.
I,iair had served his country for more
than ten years, and Uncle Sam had pro-
vided for him a pension of S14 a month.
Being an inmate of the home. and in re-
ceipt of the pension. he was in much bet
ter condition than many of his comrades.
But he had become Respondent for some
reason, and had frequently complained of
being unwell.
His ailment was not considered as seri-
Gus. however, and yesterday his comrades
were surprised when they learned of his
seh-deStruction.
In the morning MAR was at breakfast,
as usual, and when he had finished the
meal he went out, and was afterward seen
stroliing about the grounds, as had been
his custom. While he exchanged greet
ings with the other soldiers whom he met
he seemed as if something troubled him.
Later his comrades missed him from about
the grounds, and some inquiries for him
were made.
1t was about IL o'clock when his body
was discovered hanging in the shed. and
it is believed he had then been dead for
about two hours. He had fastened one end
of the rope about his neck and tied the
other end to the top of a partition. His
feet were touching the ground and as
there had not been fall enough to dis!ocate
the neck, death had resulted from strangu-
lation.
The body was placed in the home morgue
and Coroner Carr gave certificate of sui
eide. The deceased was a German, and 1t
is thought had but few, If any, relatives in
this country. His body was buried in the
National cemetery today.

REVIEWS THE SUIT.
Mary Sanders Winter Revives Her
Claim Against Richard Mansacld.

SAahm Against Ntchur0 Momeuclu.
Mary Sanders Winter. the well-known
actress, who lost her case against Richard
Mansfield in the Court of Appeals last May,
after having been awarded judgment >of
s.. 800 against him. renewed the suit Sat
urday afternoon. Justice Cox granting her
attorneys, Messrs NJ. ]. Colbert and Chas
j. Murphy, leave to file an amended dec
laration.
Miss Sanders, as she is known on the
stage, filed her suit originally early in jan
uary, 1896, alleging that she engaged her
self to play with Mr.. Mansfield's company
during the season of 1s95-1S96 commencing
September 16, 1895, and ending June Is.
1896; that December 3, 1885. he dismissed
her from his services and refused to make
further payments under the contract; that
new agreement was entered into by
which she was to receive $50 a week in
stead of SI5 week, as was to be paid I'M
der the original contract. Claiming that
Mr.. Mansfield had defaulted in two pay
ments. amounting to 800, she instituted
suit for the whole amount that would be
due under the contract. and a jury in the
Circuit Court awarded her the fun sum of
$1,000 Mr.. Mansfield appealed to the Court
of Appeals, where it was held that the
Judgment awarded was in excess of the
amount due at the time of filing the suit;
of 500 was then due, and that the lower
court was, therefore, without jurisdiction,
for the reason that only sums of over 500
can be sued for in the District Supreme
Court. 1t was suggested, however, that the
sum or 300 could be recovered against the
defendant upon the showing made.
In her amended declaration Miss Sanders
says that March 3d. 1895, she entered into
an agreement with Mansfield for the the
atrical season of 1885, and was to receive
SIS week. payable every Saturday night:
that December 3. 1898. he dismissed her
and wholly repudiated the contract, without
nd rnf.t sad L.,
sums of money, notwithstanding the agree
ment; that she agreed to a compromise by
which he was to pay her $50 week from
and after December B. until the expiration
or the term of the original contract this
being done in consideration of her waiver
OF all rights under the original agreement
She says 1t was stipulated that she was to
remain in New York, and, if possible Sc
cure an engagement there, and whatever
sums she might obtain by reason OF any
engagement would be credited to her claim
against Mansfield for salary. But she Sc
cured no engagement, and, consequently,
there were no credits to be made

CIVIL SERVICE RULES.
Typos Declare Against Their Con-
tfnuanee at the G. r. o.

tinuance at the G. r. o.
By a vote of % to % those present at the
meeting yesterday of Columbia Typo
graphical Union, No. 101, adopted a reso-
luton declaring against a continuance of
the civil service rules at the government
printing office, and. should the purpose of
the resolution be carried out, President
Mckinley will be asked by the president
and secretary of the union to take the
Office out of the classified service.
In view of the fact that fifty-one, the
total vote cast at the meeting, is such a
small minority Of. the entire membership
1t Is thought that special meeting of the
union will be called in order that the reso-
luton, which is regarded of great i'm
portance, can be again considered.
A resolution was also adopted yesterday
to request the civil service commission and
the public printer to allow 'subbing" in
the government printing office, similar tc
the custom which prevails in all of the
large newspaper offices.
The union likewise approved resolution
passed by the Dallas, Texas, Union ask
ing the restoration of the annual sessions
OF the International Typographical Union
and the abolition of the referendum.
Mr.. E. W. Oyster offered resolution
requesting the public printer to continue
the time" system. Under The rules the
resolution went over until the next regular
monthly meeting of the union.
It was voted to allow the members of the
auditing committee $25 for time lost while
attending to the business of the union.
A proposition made to amend the bylaws
OF the union in such a manner as to pro-
hibit assessments for any other purpose
except on one months notice, was defeat
ed.

Inc two young men noticed the aged wo-

TO the deep water near the wharf, when
she was discovered and rescued. The NO.
man seemed to be in terrible agony. which
the young men attributed to her bath in
the cold water but later they learned she
had taken poison.

the occurrence, and the patrol wagon was
called. Before the arrival of the wagon

used on very dark days and at night. has
been tempered to just the proper degree.
