HEALTH BOARDS MEETING.
Reports From Health Omcer and
Food and Plumbing Inspector.

Reports From Health Omcer and
Food and Plumbing Inspector.
The sanitary board was presided over
yesterday by Acting Mayor Owens. Out
side of the usual reports, however, there
was little of interest an the meeting. Re
ports were received from Health officer
LeHardy and Plumbing Inspector Cos
grove.
An effort is being made by Df. LeHardy
to bring food inspections to a high eff
cheney. He believes the public health is
largely due to the strict and impartial en-
forcement of the pure food laws. The re-
port of the inspector showed that more
meats have been condemned the past two
weeks than for the two weeks preceding.
1t is impossible for an inspector not a
skilled chemist to detect impurities in food
stuffs which cannot be seen or detected by
foul odor. DIR. LeHardy expressed his an
tentlon of seeing that the food laws are
vigorously carried out however and that
injurious articles are not sold.
Milk tests have begun in the health
office, though 1t is not yet demonstrated
that many discoveries of impure milk wall
De maze. OuI OF the uTSt seven l6SlS pllly
one sample was found wanting in any of
the essential properties of nutritious milk.
A more systematic way of ascertaining
the existence of disease at different places
is being made by DR.. LeHardy. 1t is pro
posed to act mutually with other cities,
and when a contagious disease develops
to at once report to other cities This re-
quest has been made of the health depart
ments of Macon and Augusta. Such an
arrangement already exists between Sa-
vannah and the Florida state health board.
III all cases where 1t has been agreed 10
notify the local health office of contagious
diseases, DIR. LeHardy has promised to
give the same information from SaYan-
nah.
The report Of Inspector Cosgrove showed
the usual number of plumbing inspec>
tions. During the two weeks past he in
spected thirty-three fixtures, made ten by
draulic and twelve smoke tests, rejected
several plumbing jobs which he inspected,
and ordered that others be changed to con-
form with the law.

RAIN HELPED THE CROPS.


The rainy season has set in In Savannah
as well as in Cuba. In the past two days
over two inches of rain have fallen here.
The welcome showers of Monday and yes
terday promises to be repeated frequent
~ during the remainder of the month.
June is essentially a period of heavy pre-
clpitation in this locality, and the def
cheney in the rainfall for the first half Of
the year bids to be reduced before the
month closes.
The rains came none too soon. Vegeta-
ton was drying up and the truck farm
ers were threatened with serious loss.
Their corn, potatoes, tomatoes,
peas and other vegetables
were showing the blighting eff
fects of a lack of moisture. Yesterday
the prospects were entirely changed. The
fields were freshened up the truck has
taken on a new life and the crop outlook
had improved an untold percentage,
The rainfall at Savannah for thd year
Is now about twelve inches below the nor
NAL. In January the precipitation was but
SO of an inch, the deficiency being about
three inches. In February there was an
aggregate rainfall of but IS Of an inch,
the total for the month being 213 inches
below the normal. March brought 1.93
Inches of rain. and April 2.46 inches, the
total for the former month being So inch
es below the normal, and that for April
about one inch less than what might be
expected for that month. May had but one
rain and several sprinkles, the total pre-
clpitation for the month being 1.01 inches,
q deficiency of 100 inches. Every month
so far this year there has been a def
cheney of from l to 3 inches in the rain
fall.
The rainfalls this week have unfortu-
nately been local, or practically So The
entire eastern and southern part of the
state is suffering greatly from the drought
and unless there as a speedy relief much
loss will ensue The absence of rain in
some sections has been felt far more keen

Illness.

Passed Quietly Away After n Long
Illness.
Mrs. Annie NJ. Gilbert, widow of the late
c, L. Gilbert died at her home on Hall
street yesterday after a long illness. The
funeral services will be held at the hide
pendent Presbyterian Church at o'clock
this afternoon.
Mrs. Gilbert was 60 years old. She was
born at Wendell, Mass. After her MAI
riage she moved to Savannah She had
been a resident OF this city since 1859, her
husband for many years having been in
the wholesale grocery and importing busl-
ness He died in 1885.
Two sons survive Mrs Gilbert, Mr.. w.
c. Gilbert, who recently returned to Sa-
vannah after long residence in Florida.
and Mr.. Eugene l.. Gilbert. Her only
daughter. Miss Lillian r. Gilbert. died
about four years ago. Another son died
some sixteen years ago.
Mrs. Gilbert had been a jealous and de-
voted member of the Indenendent Presbv-
terrain Church for many years. She was
active in all forms of charitable work
and until illness robbed her of her strength
she was unceasing in her efforts to relieve
distress and accomplish good. She was
president of the ladies auxiliary of the
Young Mems Christian Association for a
long time, and it was with great regret
on her part and among those associated
with her that she was forced to relinquish
her labors in behalf of the association.
Many friends mourn her death and win
long cherish the memory of her christian
services.
Mrs. Gilbert's sister, Mrs. Newconb.

GETTING IN RECRUITS.
Most of the New Men Inclined to Go
With the Jasper Greens.

Capt. ?. F. Gleason of Company /, First
Georgia Regiment, United States Volun-
teers, who has opened his recruiting Office
al the Catholic Library hall, is making
quite favorable progress In securing new
men for the regiment.
Twenty-Five men went on the rolls yes
terday, and after examination by Dr. NJ.
+. Dunn, twenty-three Of them were &C
cepted. OF this number. sixteen go to
Capt. Gleason's company. the Irish Jasper
Greens, five to the Savannah Cadets and
two to the Republican Blues This is
about one-fourth of the number of recruits
that Capt. Gleason desires TO secure. If
the record from day to day keeps up in
the same manner, he viii probably find it
unnecessary to go into the country for
men.
However, there has been a preponder-
ance of men who want to go with the
Greens, and the other companies have got
to be filled up as well. Capt. Gleason has
not yet decided what he will do. He may
remain hero day or Two longer and see
how things go, or he may leave at any
moment to see what can be done in the
country. He has authority to do his re-
cTuiting between Savannah and Milledse-
vile, which gives him quite an extensive
liciu. OeIBl. murphy anu EIlNHteS bdAiSy
and Douglass have charge of the enlisting,
and 1t is being pushed along quite rapidly.
They hope to be able to secure their quota
right here in Savannah.
They were not greatly surprised by the
announcement that their regiment along
with the two batteries of artillery at
Griffin, were to be moved to Chicka-
manga, as they have rather expected to
be ordered away from Camp Northen for
some time The boys will regret TO leave
their present quarters for many reasons,
but viii no doubt be glad of a change.
