Asked for Hfcks,.

The U. S. troops have arrived and the
first question asked by the officers was:
Where is Hicks? OF course, they know
Hicks. Everybody does, no matter from
what section of the country, the inquiry is
made. Hicks reputation is as wide as that
of the city itself. Savannah is good place
so is Hicks. Savannah is a city in which
the stranger feels at home-so does he at
Hicks. Hicks is the one good restaurant
this southland possesses You cannot find
better restaurant, no matter where you
go. Strangers in the city will find Hicks
the one place they have been looking for
No matter what they want, Hicks can sup
ply it. His larder is as wide as the country
and it is always stocked with the best the
Northern, Eastern and Western markets
produce. All of the Southern favorites are
on call at Hicks while game, fish and
oysters are superbly prepared and served.
Hicks will be glad to see the native and
the stranger. He will treat them all alike
first-class in every Mayfair and square

have taken up part of the ground of the
government reservation on the island in
such way as to make it impossible for
the new corners to find a camping place
large enough for their accommodation.
The cars of the Seaboard Air Line, in
which the heavy battery spent the night
before, were brought up TO the city yes
terday, the men having established their
camp. When the light battery goes into
camp to-day. there will be two fully equip
ped artillery companies on the island in
close proximity. 1t is likely that many
visitors will go down to-day TO see the ar
tillerymen. Military men will feel an in
terest in the batteries, and will go down
to see how they have been arranged. Had
the light battery camped in or near the
city big crowd would doubtless have
been near the camp all day.
The men of the light battery seem
pleased at having been ordered from the
interior to the coast. One of them said
ne was glad the transfer had been made,
as We're most of his comrades.

WE'RE NO coNvIcTs AT WORK.
Health officer LeHardy Failed to
Find Them Around the City.

Health Officer LeHardy took a trip
through the environs of the city day be-
fore yesterday to see what work was be-
ing accomplished by the county drainage
force. He failed to discover any convicts
at work in the vicinity of the city. On
returning to his Office he addressed a note
to one of the commissioners inquiring as
to the disposition of the convicts. Yes
terday he received the following state
ment in reply:
"Convicts at work on Buckhalter canal,
Is; convcts at work at the county farm,
Il; convicts at work on Dale avenue 60;
convicts at work on Savannah drainage, 0.
Dr. LeHardy concluded that this state
ment was sufficiently explicit for all pur-
poses.
My visit to the Savannah, Florida and
Western wharf property" said DR.. Lee
Hardy, revealed the fact that they are
simply cutting a straight outlet for Jones'
creek The cut is to be lined with logs a I
the bottom and sides. They will have to
cut fully $50 feet more before reaching
the river. No drainage whatever has been
done. Not a shovel full of filing has been
dumped. Not more than $50 yards from
the city limits east, is, and has been for
the past ten years or longer, one of the
worst looking and most dangerous spots
in the state of Georgia, an old undra ined
rice field, where the water comes and
goes with the tide, where the rank vege-
tation rots every year. the dumping
ground for refuse of every sort. The
stagnant water in pools here and there
is covered with a green and siclxly scum.
This is part of a tract covering fully Go to
30 acres. 1t is in the county, and IL the
legislature has placed the power in the
hands of the County Commissioners to
enforce the drainage of private lands.

case, for if we must Judge by the past 1t

TWO TENEMENTS PARTLY BURNED.

street Lane Damaged.
Fire started In row of tenement houses
in Liberty lane, near East Broad street,
about o'clock last night and an alarm
from box No. q summoned engine com
pany No. with the companies at the CEN
trail station. An hours persistent work
by the firemen extinguished the blaze en-
tirely and saved a number of other tene-
ments in the same block.
Smoke poured out in huge volumes for
quite a while after the department got to
work. The fire was in the second stories
of two tenements and had already begun
10 leap through the roof. Three streams
were readily got on the fire, two Of which
were thrown by the little steamer from en-
CINE company No. 1 and the third was a
hydrant stream. Chemical engine No. /
of the central station also did effectuai
work. There was slight wind which
would have caused a heavy loss TO adjoin-
ing property had the department not held
the fire in control.
1t is thought TO have started from a de-
fective stove pipe In a room on the second
floor. The tenements are occupied by col
ored people and stoves are in most all the
upper roomst. The property belongs to the
Myer Mendel estate, of which Mr.. Selig
Mendel Is the agent. There is an insur-
ance that will cover the loss, which
amounts to the destruction of the upper
floors of two tenements.

BEAUTIFUL HOMES.
The Tendency of the Age IL Toward
Mural Decorations.

Probably at no time in the worlds history
has as much attention been paid to the IN
terror decoration of homes as at present.
No home. no matter how humble, is without
its handiwork that helps to beautify the
apartments and make the surroundings more
cheerful. The taste of the American people
has kept pace with the age, and almost
every day brings forth something new
in the way OF a picture, a draping, a
piece Of furniture or other form OF mural
decoration. One of the latest OF these has
been given to the world by the celebrated
artist, Muville, in a series of four handsome
porcelain game plaques. Not for years has
anything as handsome in this line been seen.
The subjects represented by these plaques
are American Wild Ducks, American Pleas
ant, American Quail and English Snipe.
They are handsome paintings and are .es-
room walls, though their richness and beau
ty entitled them to place in the parlor of
any home. These original plaques have been
purchased at a cost of $4,000 by J. c. Hub
niger Bros. Co, manufacturers of the cele-
hratcd Elastic Starch, and in order to enable
their numerous customers to become posses
sors of these handsome works of art they
have had them reproduced by a special
process, in all the rich colors and beauty Of
the original. They are finished on heavy
cardboard, pressed and embossed in the
shape of a plaque and trimmed with heavy
bdnu OF gold. lney measure forty 1ncnes
in circumference and contain no reading
matter or advertisement whatever.
Until September LIST Messrs. j. c. Huhing-
er Bros Co. propose to distribute these
plaques free to their customers. Every pur-
chaser of three ten-cent packages OF Elastic
Starch, hat-iron brand, manufactured by j..
c. Hubinger Bros. Co, is entitled to receive
one of these handsome plaques free from
their grocer. Old and new customers alike
are entitled to the benefits of this offer.
These plaques will not be sent through the
mail, the only way to obtain them being
from your grocer. Every grocer store in the
country has Elastic Starch for sale. II is the
Oldest and best laundry starch on the mar
ket and is the most perfect cold process
starch ever invented. 1t is the only starch
made by men who thoroughly understand
the laundry business, and the only starch
that will not injure the finest fabric 1t has
heten the standard for quarter of century
and as an evidence of how good it is twenty
two million packages were sold last year
Ask your dealer to show you the plaques and
tell you about Elastic Starch. Accept no
substitute. Bear in mind that this offer
holds good a short time only and should be
taken advantage of without delay.
The statutes should provide that any man
is entitled to a divorce without trial If his
wife saves the coolest room in the house for

BLUE-EYED MARKSMEN.
The Proven Superiority of Northern
Races Over the Latins in the
Use of Firearms.

The Saxon and the Celt, the Teuton
and the Norseman-which merely is
to say the blue-eyed peoples--possess
a capacity for craftsmanship none Of
the Latin races ever may hope to at
tain. 1t isn't Spaniard's fault that
he cannot fire bullet straight. lie
can't help il. lie was born that way,
lie has n racial defect in far vision.
The trolble is seated in his eyes, and
against a blue-eyed antagonist he
must always be the loser when ii
comes to scoring on target at fairly
long range. Neither can the Indian
or the negro shoot so as to make il
good betting that he is going to hit
anything. They mean well, but they
won't do.
What it is about the blue-eyed man
which renders his far sight superior
to that of his darh-eyed cousin oculists
are not agreed upon. They have not
satisfactorily determined whether his
advantage is derived from a pigment
which clarifies his vision or whether
the shape of his lenses is somewhat diff
ferent. furnishing him a greater rang
of sight and a more magnified picture
of distant objects, but regarding the
fact itself they have long since ceased
contention.
All the historic marksmen of record
from Natty Bumpo to Capt. Bogar-
dus-had blue or hazel eyes. Look over
the long list of western killers" who
flourished in the frontier days, now
passed away, and you will recall that
the invinciblc ones, those who were
quickest on the trigger and who never
missed their man, were blue-eyed.
Billy the Kid, Wild Bill, Bat Masterson
and Jesse James-good men and bad,
sheriffs upholding law and despera-
does defying it-had eyes as blue as the
unlocked sky of June. The Tennessee
mountaineers who from behind Jack
sons cotton bales poured so whitening
fire into Packenham's scarlet-coated
veterans that even that intrepid SOL
diery could not endure it and fed
from its fiery breath as from before
the mouth of furnace were blue-eyed
rifiemen.
Every regimental officer of expert
ence and every gun club man knows
that the records of target practice will
show the blue-eyed men well in the
lead over their dark-eyed fellows, and
the longer the distance the more
marked becomes the disparity.-Chi-
