PoLIcE AND FInEMEN PAID.
The Two Departments Require About
100000 for August.

1t was pay day with the fremen and
police yesterday. a large number of whom
received their little fat envelopes for the
month. The pay rolls of the two depart
ments amount to about $4,000 monthly.
The rolls FOR the month are made out
by each department and turned over to
City Treasurer Hardee. together with en-
velopes, on which is the name of the po-
hceman or fireman and the amount due
him. The treasurer fills the envelopes
with long green, after which they are
turned over TO the chiefs for distribution.
Chief McDermott paid off nearly all the
patrolmen yesterday. Every member of
the force has to undergo two months
trial, during which he receives $55 a
month. At the expiration of that time,
however, he is subjected TO a second ex-
animation by the Police Commission, and
II certain per cent. of all questions are
correctly answered he is then placed on
the regular roll at s65 a month. The
pay roll amounts to something like $500
a month.
With the fire department the roll is
much less. the amount this month being

HELD HIM IN HIGH ESTEEM
savannah Germans Might Have a
Memorial Service for Bismarck.

Savannah Germans Might Have n
Memorial Service for bismarck.
So far as can be ascertained there will
be nothing done by the Germans of sa-
vannah relating to the death of Prince
Bismarck.
OF the fact that all of the Savannah
Germans held him in the highest esteem,
there is no doubt. He was looked upon
as the brany man, the statesman of the
German empire, and in fact as more of
an Emperor than his royal master.
Many of the prominent Germans are
away from the city at this time of the
year. Several of them, however, were
seen yesterday, and asked If any steps
would be taken in the matter. They said
nothing would be done so far as they
knew. There were suggestion from some
of them, however, that a general meet
ing of the Germans of Savannah be held
In the nature of a memorial service. 1t
remains, however, for this suggestion to
take shape, as nothing definite has yet
been done with regard to it,
