Hot weather.

There is no doubt about this, yet we
must eat just the same. Where is the
housekeeper who does not dread for the
hour to come land 1t comes three times
q day. when she must prepare the next
meal? That fiery furnace of a cook stove
has to be lighted, and is hot for two hours
each time. The whole house becomes
heated, making every one miserable Any
thing that will lessen this misery is a
blessing to humanity. There are three
kinds OF summer stoves, viz: the oil stove,
the gas stove and the vapor stove. We
will consider each. The oil stove is odor-

getting uneven and frequently needs new

ever rolled up their sleeves and
often ruined their clothes with
oil and revoked one will tell YOU quick
that 1t is mo picnic" So don't buy an
oil stove. The gas stove has none Of the
objections that the oil stove has, and only
two things can be said against it, First
you must always have a gas main In your
street for a gas stove without gas Is like
a fiddle without strings. The second and
greatest objection TO the gas stove is the
cost or gas, which places IL out Of the

The vapor stove has none of the objec-

RAISED HIS PAY CHECK $50.
Philip Shocks Forgery Lost p. Or
SIM a Neat sum.

Philip Shook, a white man, who has
been working at the boiler shop OF the
Central railway, shook the dust of Sa-
night or early yesterday morning, $50
ahead Of the game.
Shook had been working at the shop
about three months. He received a check
for $28 Wednesday in payment for his
services during May. Becoming tired OF
working on short time he decided to make
a raise and skip the town. Taking his check
for sos he raised it to SIS. During his stay
In Savannah he has spent good deal of
his spare time at the fruit store of P.
Orsini, at West Broad and Harris streets.
Going 10 Orsint night before last he told
him he was anxious to get his money at
once and offered, if he would cash the
check, to allow him discount of 49, This
was q pretty good interest on $40 for
few hours, and Orsini took Shook up on
the offer, paying him SO and accepting the
check. After Shook had left Orsni began
to reflect upon the transaction, and finally
decided that something was wrong.
Some time after midnight he put in an
appearance at the police barracks, with
the check, and stated his belief that it
had been raised. The sergeant on duty
could do nothing for him at that hour,
but the matter was taken in hand by the
detectives yesterday They found that
Shook had left the city Of foot doubtless
catching a train outside. The detectives
are satisfied that Shook has gotten out
of the state by this time.
The check was taken to the Citizens
Bank, where the Centrars checks are
paid, yesterday morning, and Orslni found
that his suspicious were true. The
check had been raised from $2S to s7S. In
raising the check Shook had destroyed its
previous value, so that Orsini could not
get even the $28 for which it was orig
inally made out. An effort will be made,
however, to arrange with the railway au-
thorities to let Orslni draw the amount
actually due the man by whom he was
duDed

WILL NOT ABANDON ITS WORK.
The Park and Tree Commission Has
So Notified the Mayor.

So Notified the Mayor.
The park and tree commission will not
abandon its work for the council to take
charge of. A meeting Of the commission
was held yesterday to consider the mat
ter. AS the result Of the meeting a com
munication was addressed to the mayor
and aldermen by Chairman Stone.
Members of the commission who were
seen declined to say anything further than
that they had decided not to abandon
their work, and had so informed the may
or and council in response to the mayors
communication. What further state
ments were made the commissioners de-
clined to say. preferring not to discuss the
subject until their communication had
been received and considered. 1t seems,
however, that the commissioners hope that
their letter will reopen the subject with
council, and lead to more favorable con-
sideration of their request by that body.
The members of the commission said that
they had decided not to abandon their
work. What arrangements they will make,
however, in case council refuses again to
make an appropriation, have not yet been
decided upon.
There does not appear to be any likeli-
hood that council win make an appropria-
ton to run the park and tree commission
through the year. That body has twice
refused to do sOy and the aldermen who
were seen yesterday showed no signs of
change of heart. While not favorably dis
posed toward the commissions, the alder
men freely said they had regarded the
park and tree as the best of the lot, and
consequently were greatly surprised at the
box into which this commission put itself
The chief ground taken by the aldermen
for refusing an additional appropriation Is
that 1t would be a bad precedent. Some
other commission with a larger budget
might be so foolish as TO expend all of
its money with the best part of the year
before it. they said, and then demand
more money to run through the year, us
ing the appropriation for the park and
tree commission as an argument for sim
liar action.

WAITING ON THUNDERBOLTERs
A Suitable Right of Way For the New
ROad Not Yet Granted.

The June meeting of the county COM
missioners was held yesterday afternoon.
The chief matter before it was the much
talked of new road to Thunderbolt, which
was brought up in the light of failure
to hear from the authorities of the town
of Thunderbolt, as to the granting of a
suitable right of way into the town and
along the river bluff.
Action had already been taken by the
board to build the road as soon as the
right of way was obtained. The owners
of the land along the Savannah and Isle
Of Hope railway have granted a right of
way to Mechanics road, and 1t was
thought the people of Thunderbolt would
not fail to offer the right of way through
the town and along the bluff in a desirable
route. II seems that this right of way
has not yet been formally granted, and
this is what has delayed the publishing
of the citation for the work TO begin.
The commissioners passed the following
resolution:
THAT the publication OF citation for the
establishment of the public road from the
junction of Waters road and Estill ave-
nue. along the right-of-way OF the Savan-
nah and Isle Of Hope railway to Mechan-
les road in the town OF Warsaw be post
pOned until arrangements can be made to
secure for the public a right-of-way along
the bluff, or river front, in the town of
Warsaw of at least thirty feet In width.
and the commissioners of the town of
Warsaw are requested 70 procure such
right-of-way by consent of the lot owners
or otherwise as they may deem proper. -
This will cause some slight delay in get
ting the arrangements for the building of
the road shaped, but IL is not feared that
there will be any serious trouble.
Two petitions were heard by the COM
missioners for opening roads, but IL was
decided In both cases as they were not
public roads the county could not warrant
the expense. one of these roads is the
Bourquin road ana the other a road con-
