We Are Listening.

Spring is almost here, and the peo-
pie are listening to hear what the
Town Council is going to do about
street paving.
If the Council will get the neces-
sary plans, specifications, and cost Of
the work and simply announce that
they are ready to consider PROPOSE
tions from lot owners for permission
to pave any part of street, we
guarantee that paving will begin
early in the spring.
If lot holders will agree to pay
for the paving as done on condition
that they be allowed credit for such
payments on their tax bills, it willobvi-
ate the necessity of Council borrowing
any money, or making any other pro-
vision for it. They can simply per-
NIT the people to do so much paving
as the revenues will admit of each
year.
Have we not some home contrac-
tors that will equip themselves for
this work and submit plans and spec
itications to the council.

Business is business.

In speaking of the delay in the new
school building, gentleman put the
whole matter in nutshell when he
said: "The only way to build a
school building is to build it. +"
aIf there is business contract, he
continued, with the architect, as
there ought TO be, then he has broken
it, and his bond ought to be good for
damages. If one architect won't do
business in business like way there
are others"
Il presume be said, that the ar
cbitect won't fall back on the wealth
er. A builder might do that, but
plans ought to be matured and fur
nished on time, regardless of the
weather 1t is entirely inexcasable
that an architect should delay that
building for six months. If the other
contractors are allowed the same lati-
tude we won't get into that building
in the next three years.

success until he said he did not wish to
punish the man, but TO compliment him
and get him promotion if possible. Then
the man was pointed out by his willing
companions He was bugler Schroeder of
the Sixth Infantry. He received the COM
mendation of his chief modestly. The fact
that Bugler Schroeder ordered the charge
was not noised about, but the men In the
brigade knew Il, and it was common talk
with them. He was a hero with them,
for they considered his act the only thing
to do. At each short rush more men were
falling AS they neared the foot of the
Hill the Spanish fire was getting more
deadly and demoralzing. The order to
charge would doubtless have come from
the commander after a few more short
PUSHES and rest, but Bugler Schroeder has

in the habeas corpus proceedings brought
in behalf of the actress.
The judges decision practically places
the case where 1t was week ago. He
says that unless within two days Miss
Girard withdraws her demurrer In the pro-
ceedings the writ will be dismissed In his
decision Justice Bookstaver says:
"The relator having rested her case sole
ly upon the demurrer, only questions OF
law are to be considered by me. The suf-
tciency Of the evidence was passed upon
by the justice, who signed the commit
ment. The relator by demurring admits
the statements In the return that she went
voluntarily to the sanitarium. II also ap-
pears that the relator went there with
full knowledge. of the provisions of the
commitment"
The justice then winds up by saying that
the demurrer must be withdrawn, or the
writ will be dismissed within two days.
Justice Bookstaver's decision, therefore,
does not end the matter In case Miss Gil
ard wishes to pursue it further The de-
cision plainly intimates that there is an
other course open to her in her fight for
liberty, which may be successful.

A DOG COLLAR COST $2,75O.
story About Lady 1IacIxin and Her
Dog "Stnrs and Stripes"
ON the New York Herald.

From the New York Herald
Two thousand seven hundred and fifty
dollars is a great deal to spend on a dogs
collar, but the lucky canine possessing
this costly bauble-an ornament that a
belle at the Metropolitan during the opera
season might have been proud to wear
about her white throat-had $4,000 spent
upon him. His kennel was marble and
his platter on which his bone was put,
was solid gold. This king Of dogdom lived
in London in 1906, and was the property, if
such term can be applied to so wealthy
and aristOcratic a dog. of a peer
Fifteen thousand dollars is the highest
price, probably, ever paid for a dog col
lar which was ordered in London in 1892
by Lady Mackin for her pet pug. The
collar was made in India, and was a mar
vel of art. 1t was inlaid i'm gold silver
and ivory, and heavily incrusted with
diamonds that a rajah of Old might have
coveted.
Lady Mackin called her pet Stars and
Stripes because he was the gift of an at
tache of the American legation. No mat
ter how formal a dinner party this charm
ing hostess gave-and she secured the
chef that made the Coldstreams, the crack
regiment of England, famous-whether at
her town house or al her castle, Stars
and Stripes was in evidence. With great
ceremony the butler admitted the pug as
coffee was served, and before the assem-
bled company he took his daily quota of
bonbons
Only upon one occasion was the order
given to absent Stars and Stripes. The
prime minister was the guest of honor
this evening. Lady Mackin, who was a
power in politics, was opposed to the for
egn policy Of the minister. The willy
diplomat saw a way 10 remove his great
stumbling block and he proceeded 10 do
so, much to the disgust of the opposition.

which is a real American pastoral and
which 1t is said will be enjoyed by the
most conservative theater-goers. The New

atzation direct from the novel, by Har-
klns and Barbour, in five acts, with one
Reene each, was produced at the Star
Theater last night, where it drew proba-
bly, the largest audience of the season.

Tennessee London Gaiety Girls" "A

combination, which will bring Brock
Beckwith TO Savannah again, and THE
Man from Mexico" This seems a fair list
for October, considering it is the early
part of the season.
There will also be presented to Savannah
theater-goers this season along with other
good performances, The Heart of Mary
