Doe CIeanea out the Saloon.

The crowd in FarrelPs saloon, at Cherry
and Jackson streets, had forgotten they
had homes at O'clock the other morning,
says the New York Sun. Charley Stark,
the bartender, had been on duty for TWEEN
ty-one hours, and he was very tired.
"Aint none O. yer got no homes"' said
Charley.
Forget it," replied Mike the politician.
Forget it an give us another high hot

Suddenly there was a commotion In the
street, and a minute later a big black dog
darted into the saloon bowling as only a
Corlears Hook dog can howl. The crowd
made a dash for the Cherry street door.
Charley, the bartender, climbed on the
bar and shouted for help. Two policemen,
who had chased the dog across the Hook
Park. rushed into the saloon and jumped
upon a table. Then the bartender got a
pole and closed the doors. The policemen
shot the dog and went away. Charley,
the bartender, bolted the doors so the
crowd couldn't get back and thus soil
loquzed:

New Homes in savannah.

Many new homes are being built in this
city at this time We do
not say that building boom is in prog
ress, because we do not care to give the
impression that there is such a boom. The
fact is, a boom in real estate or in build
ing Is not a good thing for a town The
depression which follows it, and the de
preston is certain to come, does an in
finite amount of harm. Save us from
what is called boom. What we want is
steady and healthy growth, and that
is what Savannah is having The growth
however, is much more pronounced than
1t had been for a long time prior to the
beginning of the present activity in build
ing. Building is going on in nearly all
parts of the city, but it is chiefly in. the
southern section where the most of the
new homes are being built
In the older part of the city old build
ings are being pulled down and modern
ones erected in their places. In the newer
parts twelve fine residences in the course
of construction can be seen from one
point and there are twice as many more
scattered throughout that part of the city
south of Anderson street. A ride around
the city on the street cars would make
those who doubt that Savannah is grow
ing change their opinion. There is evil
dence ON every hand of plenty of work for
mechanics during the fan and winter
months. This evidence is discernable this
year rather earlier than usual.
And it is a source of satisfaction that
business is showing a tendency to get
better in advance of the regular date for
improvement. We shall be greatly disap-
pointed if Savannah, as well as all other
parts of the country. does not have a very
pronounced period of prosperity, beginning

to the newspapers that they were scarce

When Gen. Miles went to Santiago, it
was given out by the war department that
he did not go there to assume command,
but simply 10 give Gen. Shafter the bene-
fit of his counsel, and that Gen. Shaftor
was to have all the credit for the cam

statement from Gen. Miles TO the effect
that when he appeared at Santiago il
could not be otherwise than he should be
in command, being the ranking major
general.
Another statement credited 10 Gen. Miles
is that he gave orders to Cen Shafier
relative to the care of the health of the
troops which, if they had been obeyed,
would have prevented the yellow fever
from obtaining a foothold in the army. 1t
was was Gen. Miles recommendation, it is
said, that the troops at Santiago, when
| sickness began TO appear among them, be
sent to the mountain section, and that if
the fever conditions did not improve there
that they be sent to the New England
coast. No notice was taken of this recon-
mendation by the war departmental least
