LAUNCHING THE LIFE-BOAT.

There are greater dangers than those of
the angry sea- That dread disease-con-
sumption, kills more men and women in a
generation than the sea has swallowed up
since the earliest history of navigation.
There is a sure and safe 1ife-boat ever
ready to be launched for men and women
who suffer from this merciless destroyer
1t is Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discoy-
cry. 1t cures % per cent. of all cases of
consumption, bronchitis asthma, 1aryn
gifts, weak lungs, splitting of blood and
throat and nasal troubles. 1t acts directly
on the lungs, driving out all Impurities and
disease germs. It soothes and heals the
mucous membranes of the lungs bronchial
tubes, throat and nasal cavities. 1t restores
the lost appetite, makes digestion and as
similation perfect, invigorates the liver,
and purifes and enriches the blood II
fills the blood with the life-giving elements
of the food that build new and healthy
tissues. 1t tears down, carries off and
excretes the diseased and half dead tissues
upon which the germs of consumption
thrive. 1t checks the cough and facilitates
expectoration until the lungs are thor
oughly cleared. It is the great blood
oil, it does not build flabby flesh, but the
firm, muscular tissues of health. 1t does
not make corpu1ent people more corpulent
Thousands have testified to their cure
under this great medicine after they were
given UP by the doctors, and all hope was
gone. An honest dealer will not suggest
some inferior substitute for the sake of
little extra selfish profit.

News of the impending Conflict Read
by Thousands.

News of the Impending Conflict Read
by Thousands.
The Morning News bulletin service was
one of the features of the day yesterday.
Long before the first bulletin arrived.
which was about II o'clock, until late at
night crowds stood before the bulletin
boards, and eagerly read every dispatch as
it was posted. Business men who had not
time to leave their offices sent their en-
ployes to copy the bulletins in order that
they might lost nothing of the reports.
With all due modesty 1t can be said that
it was the best bulletin service ever fur
nished in Savannah. The Morning News
bulletins were from half an hour to an
hour ahead of the Associated Press, this
being especially marked in the announce
ment that hostilities would begin at once.
This was from the Morning News cores
spondent in Washington who had just had
the information from Secretary Alger of
the war department Immediately upon the
adjournment of the cabinet meeting.
The service was rendered by means of
frequent reports from the Morning News
patches from another source, and with the
Associated Press reports. Practically all
the news of the day with reference to the
topic uppermost in the minds of the people
was given on the bulletin boards. This
news was generally circulated through the
city by means of telephones and special
messengers. The railroad offices were kept
posted by the Morning News as fast as
the bulletins arrived. The telephone was
constantly ringing with demands for the
latest information. 1t is safe 10 say, in
fact, that it was the most overworbed tel
ephone in the city.
Thousands read the bulletins, although
the crowd never numbered over a hundred
at any time. Business men and their
employees stopped to read the news on their
way to dinner and again on their way
back, and practically everybody in the
northern portion of the city took occasion
to visit the boards during the day.
II was remarked that the crowds which
watched the receipts of the bulletins were
not lively nor enthusiastic. On the con-
trary, it was deeply serious crowd. There
was no shouting nor applause. The peo-
pie who read the bulletins realized that
the country was being hurried into a serl-
GUS conflict, the end of which no man could
foresee, one which might not only affect
the country generally, but which might
prove of the most serious import person
ally for many of those present and with
disastrous results to them and their city.
There was an eager anxiety to know when
the actual declaration of war would be
made and the hostilitiess begin, as if this
would relieve the suspense.
Naturally, there was more interest than
on any previous day and the service was
much fuller than usual 1t will be re-
peated to-day and the Morning News will
endeavor to tell the public when and
where the first blow will be struck and
to announce it as soon as it occurs.

SIGNAL CORPS ON TYBEE.
Orders May he Received TO Enlist
Five Men for the Service.

Orders May He Received TO Enlist
Five Men for the Service.
A signal corps, consisting of five men,
Is soon TO be stationed on Tybee, and 1t Is
understood that Lieut.. H. s. Coldlng will
have charge of existing the men for the
service. Orders have hot yet been receiv-
ed from Washington to proceed, but they
are expected momentarily.
One of the men to be enlisted will be a
telegraph operator, while the other -four
will be seamen. They will be stationed
on the island for the purpose of sighting
vessels nearing this coast. and will, there
/, fore. constitute one of the most important
adjuncts of the service. There is no ques-
ton about Lieut.. Coldings ability to find
suitable men when the order is, received
to enlist them.
This service in connection with the sig
nal service office was performed by Lieut.
Colding while he was connected with the
naval militia. 1t was thought that since
he is now on the retired list he would
probably not continue in this department
for the government. The extensive study
he has given this branch, however places
him in a position to be quite serviceable
and it is not probable there will be any
changes soon, II, indeed, at all.

TO PLAY THE rEL1oANs TODAY.

New Orleans Comes for Three Games
with HustOn's Pets.
Yesterday was an off day with the Sa-
vannah bali team, and there was no game.
New Orleans comes for three games, and
will open the series to-day. The Pelicans
are under the management of Abner Pow
ELL who has played In the Southern League
for a number of years, and who is well
known TO the cranks of Savannah. Pow
ellis team is composed mostly of players
who have never been seen here.
Illusions pets put in a good practice yes
terday, and the players are confident that
they will take to-days game, while some
of them are rash enough to say they will
take the full series from New Orleans.
Neither Miller nor Spencer has reported
yet and Manager Huston is having trou-
Bile in communicating with them. He Is
now negotiating for other players to fill
the gaps on the team, and expects to have
men signed in a few days.
There were but two games scheduled to
be played yesterday, Birmingham at Au-
gusta, and Montgomery at Atlanta.

Thomas M. Baker, the young broker in
Jail charged with the larcenylafter trust
of funds belonging to the Cumberland Mills
Of Nashville, will be before Justice Ma
thans this morning for a preliminary ex-
animation.
Just what turn the case VIII take is un-
known. There has been some effort on the
part of his friends to make some satlsfac-
tory adjustment of the matter with the
idea of absolvdng young Baker from trou-
BILE and prosecution in the higher courts.
Thus far. however, the effort seems not TO
have availed very much, probably on ac-
count of the amount being too difficult 70
raise. Great sympathy Is expressed by all
his acquaintance, their hope being that
means will succeed by which he will not be
too severely dealt with

make. 1t Is understood he has employed
