FiTzGERALD's HARD HEAD.
| TittsbuYg Detective With the Tougha&
 skcEI lin the Country.

Its the hardest nut in the country, n baid Detective Dick Brophy proudly as he laid his hand on Detective Paddy Fitz- gerald head.
 It's fact, too--at least no one has. ooms forward with his own head to disprove the claim. When Fitzgerald was Q common policeman, none of the Lawrenceyills toughs ever thought of hitting him on the head when resisting arrest. They always sought vital spot. There is only one head splitting weapon thss he ever dodged, and that was some years ago, when mo- torious bad man who hung out at Four. teenth street and Penn avenue aimed a blow at him with baseball bat Fitz- gerald ducked on that occasion and bCtted his opponent into insensibility.
 The other night u policeman walked inso headquarters and produced q new hand billy, the finest, he said, ever made. Fitx- gerald reached for 1t, rapped it on the top of his head i've times, burst tho leather knob and sens the shot with which it was loaded flying all over the room. Three other policemen, who declared that it was a put up job and that the weapon had been dootored, had to buy new hand bil- lies, for Fitzgerald took every one as fast as presented and broke them on his skull
 Matt Weiss, Smithfield street saloon keeper noted for his hard head, became jealous some time ago of Fitzgerald S rep utation and challenged him to a head test Ing match The two men grasped each other by tho wrists and indulged in a but ting set to. For minute or two there was sound as of husky woodman cut. ting down heavy timber, and Weiss keeled over, vanquished. It's remarkable, too that both men are of gentle disposition. Their skulls, though hard, are packed with gray matter, as their success in their occu- pations proves. Matt Weiss has become rich keeping saloon, and Fitzgerald is considered one of the most intelligent de. teetiyes on the force.-Pittsburg Letter in New York Sun.

Az Fne dEIoneY.

When D7 Schliemann was digging ns the supposed site of Troy, he uncovered the remains of several ancient cities which had been built one after another on ths samo hill In the second layer from the bottom he discovered masses of silver ip the form of axe heads. Dr. Gotze now suggests that these were intended not for implements, but for money. Bronze axs heads have also been discovered in ancient remains, mingled with metal pieces in the form of rings, in such q manner as to sug- gest that all alike were inteued to serve as money. After the axe head had disappeared as actual money the memory of it was pre- served in the coirs of Tenedos, which bore the figure of an axe head. Dr. Gotze also suggests that tie wedge of gold' which Aehan stole from the spoils of Jericho and for the stealing of which Joshua had him stoned Eo death was specimen of the an- oient axe head money. .--San Francisco Ar. 9onaut - ---------

QuElOtrS OFlE1n O8 the Name Ox an ACttG1d
 In Daily Use.
 Every day we drink out of a tumbler. Why is the large glass that holds our milk and water so called? Years ago Professor Max Muller was giving luncheon at All Souls college, Oxford, to the Princess Alice, the wife of the Grand Duke of Hesse- -Darmstadt and the second daughter of Queen Victoria. There were not dozen guests besides the princess and her bus. band, and a very agreeable luncheon we had, with talk on all kinds of interesting subjects.
 But what excited the curiosity of all strangers present was q set of little round bowls of silver, about the size of a larga orange. They were brought round filled to the brim with 5he famous ale brewe3 in the college. These, we are told, wers tumblers, and we were speedily shown how they came by their names-a fitting lesson for the guests of philologist. When one of these little ss8ssas was empty, it waz placed upon aho 5skle mouth downward. Instantly, so perfect was the balance, ss flew back to Sts proper position as if ask. ing to be filled again. No matter how it was treated-trundled along the floors, bal. anced carefully on its side, dropped sud. denly upon the soft, thick carpet-up ia rolled again and settled itself with few gentle shakings and swayings into its place, like one of those india rubber tum. bling dolls babies delight in.
 This, then, was the origin of our word tumbler, at first made of silver, as are all these All Souls tumblers. Then, when glass became common, the round glassea that stood on fiat base superseded the ex- quisitely balanced silver spheres and stole their names go successfully that you hava to go to All Souls to see the real thing Philadelphia Times

A quiet but extremely pretty wedding
took place last evening at 9 O'clock in the
beautiful Lawton Memorial. at Bull and
Anderson streets where, Miss Evelyn
Catharine Smith and Mr.. Arthur P. Wells
were married.
The ceremony was performed by Rev. ].
D. Jordan of the First Baptist Church,
assisted by Rev. A. ]. Smith of the First
Presbyterian Church. The bride is a
member of the Baptist Church. but as one
Of the recent storms had rendered that
temporarily unserviceable, the wedding, as
was stated in the invitations was to have
taken place IN the First Presbyterian.
This, however, is now undergoing repair.
Although this is not the first marriage
that has been celebrated in the Lawton
Memorial for the first time in its history,
the building was brightly lighted and
against the pure white of the interior the
dark green of the palms massed on the
platform stood out in glossy relief.
Mrs. e. s. Gustin, the organist played
the wedding march from Lohengrln as the
bridal party advanced up the two aisles,
the bride with her father Mr.. John w.
Smith, preceded by the ushers, Mr.. T. c.
Farr and Mr.. G. L. Allen, and her sister,
Miss Gertrude Smith, the maid of honor,
on the south side, and the bridegroom
with the best man, Mr.. S. Douglas Strob-
har. on the north
Miss Gertrude Smith. a very pretty
blonde, was becomingly dressed in pale
gray lady's cloth, the skirt finished With
ruffies of American beauty silk and the
bodice opening over a vest Of the same
shade, with which the entire gown YVES
braided. A large picture hat of black
velvet trimmed with pale blue bows and
black ostrich plumes completed the cos
tune, the bouquet being of La France
rose tied with pink ribbons. The bride
wore a stylish tailor made suit of faure
colored whipcord braided in a darker
shade, with a soft vest of cream Bengal
line silk. Her hat was of brown felt with
white aigrettes, and wings and velvet Of
contrasting browns and she carried a
shower bouquet of pride roses.
For the ceremony the bridal party form
ed a crescent, the maid of honor standing
on the brides right hand and the best ma n
on the groom's left, with the ushers on
either side, and after the wedding service
the procession passed down the south aisle

derman and Mrs. John W. Smith and is a
very lovely young lady, with exquisite

and Is a draughtsman for the Central.
Many presents attest the popularity of
both bride and groom.

WANT THE MONEY NOW.
Soliciting Committee VIII Probably
BE Called Together To-day.


Chairman Krenson Of the soliciting com
mittee Of the committee in charge Of the
movement to send representatives of Sa-
vannah's trade interests to the West In
dies, expects to have a meeting of the
committee to-day to ascertain how much
money has been subscribed. 1t is desired
that the committee of three who are to
visit cuba and Porto Rico leave about
the middle of this month, perhaps earlier,
on the steamer of the Munson line which
is expected to stop at Savannah on her
voyage out, and ii is necessary TO get the
money in hand to cover the expenses. AS
has been stated, about $1,000 will be need
ed for this purpose. 1t would be regarded
as a serious reflection on Savannahs en-
terprise or desire TO establish trade COM
munication with the West Indies if this
amount was not promptly forthcoming.
The commission of four business men
which went from Charleston to Porto Rico
has presented it's official report. They Wis
tied Ponce and San Juan. Owing to the
dual military occupation, unsettled value
of island money, The uncertainty of dura-
ton of the present tariff, and interior do
nestle troubles, they found business very
much deranged and prsuing waiting at
titude.
Aside from provisions and lumber they
found that practically all Of the imports
have come from Europe, mainly from
Spain. the duties on goods from the moth
er country being but about one-tenth of
those on goods from other countries. Rice
is largely imported from Germany, being
an East Indian production Lumber is
brought in from Canada Maine and South
Atlantic states. The quantity consumed
they found to be remarkably small con-
sidering the unwooded condition of the ISL
and.
Only small quantity of cotton goods
like those made in this section are used,
being mainly too heavy, but it is believed
that by manufacturing lighter goods tho
demand for products of Southern mills
would steadily increase. Pork products
have been brought from New York and
flour from Galveston, a small steamer
from the latter city having been run regu-
larly TO the island prior to the war The
exports of the island are sugar, coffee,
fruit tobacco and molasses.
The only line TO the island handling
freight is the New York and Porto Rican
Company's two slow-going steamships,
which have made money despite the dis
advantages under which business has been
done. The fact that this company has
lived and prospered under the conditions
which have prevailed is regarded as first
class evidence that hereafter business
gravtating entirely 10 this country, there
is a field for profitable use of a good
steamship line from Southern port

EMERGENCY HOSPITAL READY.
A Lame Soldier Drunk Enough to
Stir Up n Fight


The provost guard emergency hos
pital was practically completed yes
terday, and opened for business. All of
the sick of the provost guard, the Fourth
Illinois Regiment, have been moved there
besides two men from the permanent de-,
tan, one of whom was injured while rid /
ing horse, and the other who was sick
with jaundice.
A number of attaches of the hospital
corps including several female nurses.
have reported for duty at this hospital a +
st. Julian and Abercorn streets. and All
the equipment has been put in place. The
provost guard patients were transferred
there last night. Lieut.. Col L. M. Mans
chief surgeon of the corps, has shown a
most active, progressive and energetic
spirit in this hospital work, and il Is
largely due to his efforts that the Seventh
Corps has had comparatively small per-
eentage Of sickness, with a large percent
age of recoveries. Coz. Maus and Mai.
Pitcher have never allowed any of the
hospital supplies 10 be exhausted.
The provost guard arrested yes-
terday lame solder on crutches
who was recently DISCHARGED
from the Second Louisiana. ne
had passed that stage of intoxtcation
where he could successfully navigate. but
owning to his ability he was not huddled
in with the other prisoners at headouar-
tiers. He was put out in the yard along
with several docile prisoners, and pretty
soon considerable commoton was heard
from that quarter. An Investigation
showed that the lame man had tried to
engage all the other prisoners in a free
for-all, and they threw him down while
several of them sat on him to hold him.
He was afterward sent to the emergency
hospital for treatment
