AIwavs the RcSf.

The best thing in Savannah is it's ex-
cellent restaurant. 1t is an attraction to
strangers and a pride to the natives. This
restaurant is of course IIalligan's-the best
restaurant Savannah has ever known and
the most popular home of entertainment
in the city. Halligan deserves the success
his restaurant enjoys, and the increasing
business demonstrates that the public an,
preciates this good thing. Halligan has
made great improvements in his restaurant
and to-day it is as near perfection as is
possible for any human institution. HaIli-
CAMS prices are very low and the service
perfectly satisfactory.-ad

SUING FOR HIS FULL SHARE.
YOUNG JOHNST0NE's CLAIM
AGAINST THE TALIAFERROS.

The Case to Come Before the ordi-
nary on a Petition to Probate the
Will of Mary n. TaIiafcrrO-YOung
Johnstone's Heirship Denied by
Mr.. c. c. TaIiaferro-About $4,000
of Property Involved.
One Of the most important cases to be
considered in the courts tomorrow will
be that of Florence Barclay tombstone, by
his next friend, against C. C. Taliaferro,
executor of the estate of Mary NJ. Tall
aferro, before Judge Hampton L. Ferrill,
on petition Of plaintiff to probate Mrs. Tai
iaferro's viii in solemn form.
The petition in the case was filed by At
torneys A.C. Wright and Mercer & Mercer.
In 1t they point out that young tombstone is
lawful heir of Mary NJ. TaHaferro and
seeks to establish his right to share the
estate equally with the other heirs. BY
what proof the lawyers intend establish
ing this fact is not known. The point to
be decided by Judge Ferrill is the right
of young Johnstone to come in as an heir,
after which the case will be docketed for
a further hearing.
his attorneys, Saussy & Saussy, and Err
win, duBignon & Chisholm, alleges that
Mary NJ. Taliaferro died testate and de-
MICS that the petitioner was related to her
in any way. After the counsel argued the
motion the matters in question viii proba-
bly, be passed on by Judge Ferrill without
delay. The amount involved aggregates
something like $40 600 and includes consid-
cradle valuable real estate In the vicinity
of the court house, among which is the
Marshall House. Mr.. C. c. Taliaferro, the
executor, and against whom the petition
was filed, was served with notice by pub
lication, and is now in the city from Vir-
GINA to be present at the hearing.
There was somewhat of a rush in Tan
Collector McGowans Office yesterday, in
The shape of increased registrations. There
were $40 registrations at the closing hour,
JIG of whom were negroes. The increase
is thought attributable TO the talk of
Democratic primary to be held in May

NOTES OF THE WILMINGTON CON
FERENCE TO BE HELD AT
LEWEs.
The annual session OF the Whining
ton NJ 10. Conference viii be heid in
Lewcs next month. Interest in the
question of who will succeed Rev.
Louis r. Barrett, ID. D., as presiding
elder becomes more intense daily. Rev.
Ezra Tinker, LII. D., of Asbury Church;
Rev. John ID. c. Hanna, Of Union, and
Rev w. L. S. Murray, ID. d., Of st.
Pau's. head the list of possibilities
while the selection of Rev. Vaughan S.
Collins, recently of New Castle, but
now of Georgetown. is regarded as not
improbable. A suggestion lately made
proposes an exchange of the presiding
elders Of the Wilmington and Sails
bury districts, the former taking Rev.
Thomas Il. Martindale, ID. d., and the
latter taking DIR. Barrett.
The chief objection to DIR. Tinker is
that he is a transfer. He has been a
member of the Wilmington Conference
less than two years, having been sent
from New York State in the Spring of
1896 to Asbury Church in exchange for
Rev. NJ L. Gates DIR. Tinker's oppo-
nents say that they favor home rule,
and object to a minister from another
conference being given the best office
in the Wilmington Conference. He
has, they assert, attended several ses-
sions of the General Conference, not as
q delegate. however. and there he OBJ
tanned a certain intimacy and prOmi-
nence with the bishops. Many mem
bers of the Wilmington Conference i'm
agine that the friendship existing be-
tween Bishop Newman and Dr. Tinker
is of sufficient strength to secure for
Asbury's pastor the Wilmington dis
trict presiding eldership. The mem
/ bers Of Asbury Church, it is alleged, de-
sire the appointment of DR.. Tinker as
| presiding elder
It is declared that outside forces are
working in behalf Of Mr.. Hanna. Rev.
| John A. 3. Wilson, ID. d., formerly of
| this conference, but now of San Fran
cisco, it is stated, has written to an in
| fluental layman in this city urging
him to use his influence to secure the
! appointment of Mr. Hanna as presiding
elder. This alleged action on the part
| of Dr. Wilson, it is claimed, is indis-
Greet. and will stir up the old animosi-
ties and possibly will cause the scenes
at the memorable conference session
at Grace Church in 1892 to be re-
peated at Lewes.

Wayfarer enjoys the fullest confidence
of the cat this interesting part Of the
story could not have been written.
When il came time for Mr. Coursey
to retire, he repaired to his room, re-
moved his things, said mis- little piece,
and bounced into bed. His feet struck
something soft, furry and animated.
There was a scramble and, when the
gas was lighted, the preacher and the
family cat confronted one another,
each eying the other with look of dis
gust and inquiry.
Just then the girls. who were stand

the thing away. Everybody but the
cat appreciated the humor of the sit

PLAYED ON HIS FEARs.

One night recently when the Way
farer was walking out West Fourth
street he saw negro in precipitate
flight, and heard loud laughter coming
from the neighborhood of a drug store.
Suspecting that something was up
which would afford material for a note
he proceeded to the drug store and, by
dint Of questioning, learned the
cause OF the hilarity.
The physician owning the drug store
employed a negro to do the rough work
about the place. Among his ghoulish
relics of college days was a skull
Some of the persons connected with
the pharmacy purchased a candle and
took it and the skull down in the eel
lar Then they caught cat and car
ried it to the scene Of their operations
Lighting the candle they inserted it in
the skull and the light streamed forth
through the cavities. This narrowing
combination was set up in the side cell
lar window. Then the cat was hung up
by the TAIL a short distance back of the
Illuminated skull.
This accomplished, the conspirators
loft the cellar, and the cat did the rest.
When IL found itself alone and sus-
| heart-rending song
Go outside and drive that cat
away?" commanded the druggist. ad-
dressing the negro. 1T disturbs me-"
Out went the victim, and the con-
spirators watched him. He finally To-
Gated the sound. and proceeded to the
side window. Getting down on his
hands and knees he peered in. The
sight appalled, him, for every negro has
a lot of superstition in his makeup.
Jumping to his feet he exclaimed:
"Oh, my God, legs! Ever gwine to
do me duty, do me duty nowi"
With that he started off at a dead
run. and a whole squad of policemen
| could not have stopped him.
His nerves were SO upset that 1t was
late the next day before he reported
/ again for duty.
