The Sampson-Spanish engagement is
looked for any day. When it comes it
promises to be a good one and well done
to the entire satisfaction of the United
States Before the battle, however, it
may be of interest to know that Hicks
restaurant is going on just the same as
in times of peace. There has been no
change in the schedule of prices, notwith-
standing the advances in every line of
food products. Nor has there been any
intermission in the receipts of all the deli
cacies from the markets of the North and
East. Hicks has discounted the effects
Of war and his splendid organization was
never more thorough than at the present
time. Hicks restaurant is always open,
and he can serve you day or night in the
highest style Of the art and with exactly
what your taste suggests..-ad.

| The savannah Troops becoming Ac-
customed to Camp Life.

customed to Camp Life.
Local military circles are quieter now
than they have been for some time. the
news from Camp Northen being about the
only matter of interest.
Lieut.. Harry Blum. Jr., who came down
yesterday to look after his postmastership
appointment, said that the men in Col.
Garrards battalion are getting along
splendidly, and are rapidly growing accus-
toned to camp life. The camp equipment
sent up from Savannah Friday night was
simply additional equipment, Lieut.. Blum
said, as sufficient camp utensils were not
furnished at first. For instance, during
the first few days the men were obliged
to eat their meals in attachments, as
there were not enough plates and cups for
all to eat at once. Now, however, the nee
eSsary untensils have arrived and the sew
eral companies can sit down in body.
Mr. Randolph Arson, who went up with
Company c. of the Guards. returned home
yesterday, having been turned down on
account of his light weight. Mr.. Arson
resigned from the Guards in January
but when the call for volunteers was
made, he joined Company again, and
went with 1t to Griffin.
Mr.. Aeon is considered an excellent
soldier and was slated for a sergeant. He
says the boys are treated all right in
camp, and he is disappointed in not being
allowed TO fight with his company
Capt. z. f. Gleason of the Greens spent
yesterday in the city. He said the men
in his command are becoming accustomed
to camp life and are in good condition.
The Central carried large crowd up 10
Griffin on its excursion last night. Numer-
Gus boxes of necessaries and delcacies

No Reliable Estimate of the Acreage

"A cotton man just returned from a trip
through the sea island belt, reports that
the crop appears to be of slow growth,
for the time it has been planted. There
has been some improvement recently in
Georgia, as several rains have
fallen, and the plant has been materially

There appears to be diversity Of opinion
as to the acreage planted, and no reliable

farmers have been busy lately and have
not reported their operations at the .ail-

In other places it is said that the far

out of a remark made by the latter to a
young lady.
Mr.. Douglass was sitting on the front
stoop and when the young lady shut the
door, Douglass is said to have made a
remark of an insulting manner, which was
reported to Mr.. Boyd. Mr. Boyd asked
Mr.. Douglass what he meant, and the lat
ter not offering the right sort of an ex-
PLANTATION, as Mr.. Boyd considered, ne
struck him, knocking him down.
Mr.. Boyd thought that would end the
difficulty, he said in speaking of the mat
ter, but when Mr.. Douglass got up and
passed Mr.. Boyd he struck at him, scratch
ing him under the eye. This angered Mr..
Boyd. and he struck Douglass again.
Friends interfered and the matter was
terminated

NO PROOF TO WARRANT ARREST.
Suspicion of Incendiarism Rested on
Two Lads.

There was some indication of incendiary
work at a fire in b. S. Edenfield's store,
No. 56i Mill street, yesterday, but after
looking into the matter Inspector Bascn
did not find sufficient proof against two
small boys to warrant their arrest.
A hole in the side of the store was stuffed
with paper by some one, after which
match was set to it. The paper blazed up,
and but for the timely discovery a de-
structive fire might have followed.
There was no positive evidence as to who
did the work, but suspicious pointed TO the
two lads tackled by Inspector Basch. Moth
ing definite could be obtained against
them, however, and it was decided to make
no arrests.

How an Ostrich Runs.

Considerable misconception prevails
as to the name in which the ostrich
runs. 1t seems 10 be still generally
held that when running 1t spreads its
wings, and, aided by them, skins light
ly over the ground. This is not cor
rect, says the Louisville Commercial.
When a bird really settles itself to run
1t holds it's head lower than usual and a
little forward, with a deep loop In the
neck. The neck vlbrates s%inuously.
but the head remains steady, thus ena-
bling the bird, even at top speed, to
look around with mistaken glance in
any direction. The wings lie along the
sides about on a level with or Il little
higher than the back, and are held
loosely, just free Of the plunging
thigh" There IS no attempt TO hold
them extended or to derive any assist
ance from them as organs of flight.
When an ostrich, after Il hard run, is
very tired, its wings sometimes droop;
this is due to exhaustion. They are
never, by a running bird ~exerting itself
TO the utmost, held out away from the
sides to tighten its weight or to increase
Its pace. But the wings appear to be Of
great service in turning, enabling the
bird to double abruptly, even when 60
ing at top speed.

BISMARCK'S MISANTHRoPY.
Why the ex-chnnce1lor Holds Mankind
Generally in Contempt.

VIZ AAoAoS
Generally in Contempt.
One of BlsmarcL's trusted friends,
Rudolph Lindau, gives his reasons as
follows why the ex-Chancellor dis
trusts mankind:
'The begging letters addressed to a
man like Prince Bismarck number
thousands. Some time ago, when he
was i'll at Marlin, all the letters ad-
dressed to him that were not of a
strictly private nature were sent back
to Berlin TO be read and answered
there. The majority of them contained
most obedient' requests, but hardly
one of the writer's had any claim on the
Prince. One of the officials whose bust
ness 1t was to read those letters-an or
derby man and evidently a lover of sta
tistics-amused himself by drawing up
a list of all the petitions for money.
The total amount of the sums begged
for was 10,0 900 marks. The Prince
did not laugh when this was told him,
but shrugged his shoulders and put on
a look of bitter contempt. On the other
hand, 1t is natural that quiet, decent.
self-respecting people, who ask nothing
of him and do not wish to trouble him
with their private affairs, never come
into contact with him unless they stand
in some official relation with him or
have real business to ransact with
him. So 1t is quite natural that he sees
a great deal of the low side of human
nature, and 1t Is hardly surprising that
he is said to have become skeptlcal, and
even mi%santhropic. Prince Bismarck is
certainly well aware that there are
many very honorable people in the
world, but experience has taught him
that 1t Is his ill-luck to have inter-
course with n comparatively small
number of them. He clings firmly TO
the few men and women he trusts. be-
cause he knows them to be true friends;
but he is suspicious Of strangers. His
first thought when he sees n new face
may naturally be: We'll, what does the
man want of me?' This explains why
he is generally feared, though his init
mate friends warmly testify to his
friendliness and amiability."
