POLES TO CELEBRATE.
VIII Duly Remember Their Freedom
and kOsciuskO.

The Polish citizens of Savannah Will
meet the latter part of the week to ar
range for a celebration of the adoption or
the republican constitution of Poland, in
1871.
The prominent part Gen. Thaddeus Kos
ciuslSo, the great Pole, took in the uprising
which brought about the adoption Of the
constitution. will likely elicit praises from
the Poles for his burning patriotism in the
declaration that Poland should have a gov
eminent after that of the United States,
where all men enjoy the same privileges.
Gen KosciUskO Is revered by the people
Of the United States because he served
calamity as a brigadier general under Gen.
George Washington in the American con-
tinental army during the revolutionary
war. He was made a citizen of this coun-
try and left after having won laurels for
his bravery and generalship. His death
was caused by his falling over a precipice
while on his horse. Near Cracow, in Pol
and, is a mound Of earth $50 feet high
which was raised over his grave by the
people. The earth In the mound was OBJ
tanned from different parts of Poland
Mar. e. /. Okarma is at the head of the
proposed celebration, and will be assisted
IN making the arrangements by other Pol
lsh citizens in Savannah.

PROTECT THE HOMING PIGEONS.
People Who Kill Them May Destroy
Important Messages.

Important Messages
Mr.. Richard Stonobridge, keeper of the
Daufuskie Island light station, sounds a
very timely word of warning in reference
TO the homing pigeons.
In letter received yesterday by DR..
George Fl. Stone from Mr. Stonebridge, the
latter states that he had seen in the papers
where several pigeons had been released at
sea by Capt. Berg of the Birmingham. "On
Friday at $3.50 p. M" he states, "a speck-
led pigeon with two red rings on ats left
foot landed on my store room roof. After
IT had rested about half an hour it left in
the direction Of Savannah. 1 wish to call
your attention to the fact that people liv-
ing on the coast are apt to shoot the pig
cons. They should be cautioned not to
commit such a crime as the pigeons may
be the bearers of important messages. I'm
der any circumstances birds of this kind
should be left alone"
DR.. Stone is obliged to Mr. Stonebridge
for his friendly interest in the homing
pigeons and wishes that others along the
coast would view them in the same light.
AS the pigeons are now being sent out on
the ocean steamships between SaFannah
and New York 1t is true as Mr.. Stone
bridge says, that some day they may be
the bearers of important messages.

CUTTING DOWN THE FORCE.
Mr., Henry G. Greene Named as the
Clerk 10 Leave the Custom House.

Mr. Henry G. Greene Named as the
Clerk 10 Leave the Custom House.
A policy of retrenchment is being pur-
sued in the custom house. Collector De-
veaux was notified recently that he would
have to dispense with the services Of one
of his clerks, and also that sthere would
have to be some little cutting of salaries.
Mr.. Henry G. Greene is the unfortunate
clerk to leave the service under the order,
and Messenger George Blake has had his
salary cut from $500 year to $3.50. Mr.
Greene has been acting as the auditor of
disbursements, and has been in the service
four years. He Is within the civil service,
but that does not make any difference
when 1t comes to the cutting down of
forces
The change was to take place on May /,
but Mr.. Greene, 1t is understood will ap-
ply for a sixty days extension of time.
which may be granted. This will leave
him in the service until July 1, If his APP

BULL STREETS MUD ROAD.
Gravel Paving Not Yet Hard Enough
TO Withstand Rain.

to Withstand Rain.
The heavy rainstorm of Tuesday night
reduced the new gravel pavement on Bull
street to almost sea OF mud. Vehicles
passing over the roadway yesterday cut it
up unul it looked like country race track
after county fair in the rain. The block
between Henry and Anderson streets and
a short distance south of Anderson, the
most recently laid, was in the worst por-
ton. The block of pavement in front of the
Telfair hospital on New Houston street,
which was laid with Augusta gravel. was
hard and firm, contrast to the neighbor-
ing pavement on Bull street.
Alderman Krouskoff said to a Morning
News reporter that he had taken a drive
over Estill avenue and the Louisville road
and found both in splendid condition while
the Bull street pavement was in a misera-
bic condition.
The ebert pavement on Meldrim avenue.
connecting with the Louisville road. is as
fine pavement as can be found any
where" said Alderman Krouskoff. TT is
as good as asphalt"
DR.. J.. A. Falligant Stated that he had
made an inspection of the Waters and Bull
street roads after the heavy rain and
found that while there was more water on
Waters road than on Bull street, the for
mer pavement was hard and impregnable
while the latter was veritable mud pud-
die.
Alderman Smith said a day or two ago
that he believed the Liberty county gravel
would prove superior to any material of
the kind the city has yet used, when 1T has
become hardened. The only thing wanting
now is a sufficient hardening to prevent II
turning into mud
