MAY SOON TALK TO NEW YORK.
savannah's Telephone Connection
With the Metropolis.

1t Will not be a great while before Sa-
vannah and New York will be connected
by Bell Telephone lines. Manager r. II.
Polk of the Savannah exchange, says
force win soon start on the work of COM
pleting the last link from Savannah to
Waynesboro
The force which the company will put
on this work Is at present engaged on the
line from Birmingham to Huntsville,
which is being built at the rate of four
miles a day. When this is completed,
which will be but few weeks. the force
Will then be shifted to building the savan-
nah and Waynesboro line.
FOR some time il has been the intention

win view to connecting Savannah with
augusta, but was only completed as far
as Waynesboro. When this is finished the
clrcultous route by which patrons viii be
enabled TO speak to New York will be TO

ana then to Cincinnati, where connection

Portland and St Louis long distance line,

Inc rate charged for using the long dis
lance telephones for five minutes, is about
on the basis Of one cent mile. From Bos-
ION 20 chicago it is $40 for five minutes,

pie taxing care Of the business even at this
apparently high figure From Boston to
MliWaukee the rate is $10.75, to Pittsburg,
o. 10 Dayton, o., $3.50 to Detroit $50, and
% New York 81. These figures represent
ABOUT the number Of miles from Boston to
the points mentioned.
Inc line connecting with Milwaukee
goes further west and branches out into
the Dakotas, which win give Savannah
more remarkable long distance telephone
connection than even New, York will af-
Lord' SUCH a distance would run the rates

the apparent unconcern shown over the add

A PRACTICAL EDUCATION.

Its Value Urged by President Hall
of the school of Technology.
President Lyman Hall of the Georgia
School of Technology in Atlanta is in the
city for the purpose of giving information
concerning lhe courses of instruction in
that institution.
Practical, as well as theoretical, instruc-
ton is the distinctive feature of the
chronological School The shops are the
equal of any in the country for manual
training purposes, and the young man
who takes the course of instruction has
no position TO look for in vain He is in
immediate demand, and his talents have a
price IN the markets.
THE whole future of The South lies in
her manufacturing enterprises" said Mr.
Hail yesterday. Young men should
equip themselves for such work. We
should put SOP TO the Importation of
skilled labor and scientific knowledge by
educating our own sons to fill these
fields"
Savannah was well represented at the
Tech" last year, and President Hall
wants at least fifty students there the
coming session. The requirements for ad-
mission are moderate and the cost is nom
inal.
The new department Of textiles will be
lulIy EQUIPPED by January. President
Han says that in the past seventeen DAYS
he has succeeded in having the city Of
Atlanta and friends donate IS 500 in cash
10 the department. This insures an mi
tial equipment fer instruction in the man
ufacture of cotton goods of $32, 500. Every
scientific journal in the country, he saws
is commenting on this recent advance of
Georgia along industrial lines and a con-
unuance of such a policy VIII turn the
profits of cotton manufacturing from the
people of New England to those of our
own section. I'VE must learn" Mr.. Han
said, ito keep our raw material at home
and manipulate it so as to bring its
greatest wealth to ourselves. To young
men who are about to finish their educa-
tons, we would say, give to yourself in
the next few years an equipment which
WA insure you immediate employment
and promise the most rapid promotion
Scientific training in mechanical and cleo
trical engineering offers to-day the most
inviting field for advancement, and a
course in the School of Technology is in
disDcnsable for the young man who seeks
his future along mechanical lines"
Parents who desire to give their sons
practical and scientific education NAV

ish consul there Endorsed his health GER

warned the blockading squadron to be on
the lookout for the Adula. She went from
Kingston TO Santiago, where seeing the
blockading squadron she changed her
course for Guantanamo. There she was

late the blockade and TO pass into Spanish

to the American cause.
For these reasons" Judge Speer said
in conclusion, II think this vessel a prop
er prize Of war to the vessels which took
part IN her capture"
A decree was drawn up last night and
VIII probably be filed in court this morn
ing. The owners have to look about for
different plans open to them. They can
appeal directly TO the Supreme Court from
the decision Of Judge Speer; they can give
bond; they can secure an order to have
testimony taken in their behalf, which
would sin keep the case before Judge
Speer, or they can allow the vessel to be
sold under this decree ana fight in court
over the proceeds. The counsel for the
owners had not decided last night what
they would do, but as District Attorney
Erwin is willing it is probable that bond
viii be arranged, in which event the Adula
Will be allowed to go.

CAR WORKS BRANCHING OUT.
Building Cars for Rent--1OO Cars in
Construction Now,

Construction Now.
The Georgia Car Manufacturing Com
pany is about to branch out into new line
of business which accords with its prima-
ny function as a manufacturer of all kinds
Of railroad cars. 1t proposes to enter what
may be termed the car trust business,
building and renting cars to railroad COM
panies.
one hundred men are now at work at
the shops of the company west of the city.
Outside of the usual lines of repair work,
they are engaged in building leo box and
flat cars, which are to be the nucleus of
the company's stock for renting purposes.
Already it is understood, contracts have
been made to rent cars TO some Georgia
roads, and the presumption is that the
company viii soon have its hands full of
such work. On small roads, especially,
the tendency now is TO rent cars from
such a company as the Georgia instead Of
purchasing them outright
Many large roads also have considerable
of their equipment leased from some of
the car trust companies 1t is believed
there is a big field for the Savannah COM
pany along the lines on which other con-
Germs have met with such sIeat success
The company also intends to begin. at an
early date the building of some patent VEN
tilator and refrigerator cars which can
be used for the moving of perishable veg
etables and fruits either in the summer
or winter. The party holding the patents
has these cars in use on the Pacific slope
and they are said to be meeting with sue
cessful results. He has been here to see
the management Of the car company with
a view to introducing them in this section
in time for the winter movement from
Florida. Several of them will be built
and they are to be given a good trial If
they prove to be what is expected a large
number VIII be built and Savannah made
cars may help to move some of the Geor-
gia fruit crop next summer

so tightly was he embraced in the arms

ten close TO him without being detected.

the first juror who attempted TO get out
without The pass word.
