BIG LAUNDRY BILL IN MANILA.
Soldiers Get Trusted for Drinks and
1t Is Charged to washing.
From the ST. Louis Republic.

From the st. Louis Republic.
a letter has just been received by the
parents of Newton Henry, private in Com
pany NJ, Fourteenth infantry. U. S. A., in
which he details an account of how Uncle
Sans fighters have established a credit
with the natives.
Prior to the first pay day of Uncle Sans
army in Manila the natives were rather
"offish" and treated the boys in blue with
indifference if not contempt. The first pay
day in Manila came in the middle of the
month of September, and ever since the
Manilans have been the best friends of
the soldiers With the characteristic free
heartedness of the American soldier, the
boys spent their coin in just about forty
eight hours. That was enough to estab-
fish a credit with the natives that accom-
plishes nearly everything.
First of all the dusky bellies of Manila
who work for a living were engaged to
wash the soldiers clothes. The wash bill
was hung up" till the next pay day. As
every wash lady's husband deals in a vino
and dinto, the former a sort of gin and
the latter a native wine, 1t was not hard
for the soldier to get his drinks charged
on the weekly wash bill The system of
crediting the soldiers soon found favor
in Manila, and to-day there appears on
every wash bill a bar account, which. fire.
quently is far in excess of the laundry
charge.

BROKERS' MAKE ASSIGNMENT.
William A. POrterfeId & Co. Give Up
Their Business


Washington, Jan. SO.-William A Por-
terfield & Co, bankers and commission
stock brokers, to-day made an assignment
for the benefit of their creditors, naming
Richard H. Taylor and Thomas F. Young
assigness. Their assets are stated to be
SS0,Sl4.49, and liabilities $40, 449.SS.
Mr.. Porterfield, the senior and managing
member of the firm, makes the following
statement:
I have worked twenty hours a day for
the past month, and am simply physical
wreck My efforts to keep things moving
through this advancing market were sue
cessful up TO the past few days when,
through talk of supposed friends and pub
lished interviews by former partners, our
financial standing has been weakened and
our southern clientele made a run upon
us. Our finances being scattered in south
ern banks We're not available for immedi-
ate use, and this together with consider
able moneys due us by responsible people
but not collectable upon moments notice
makes a combination of circumstances
which we canont overcome.
Considering the state of the market and
the WORKOUT condition of my assistants,
concluded this was the only move left
to protect our customers and ourselves.
We settled up all our local obligations and
discontinued business in Washington last
week, as we were unable to place trans
actions here on a commission basis satis>
factorily. We have paid out over $S1 900
to customers during the past week. From
the condition of our accounts, think our
assignees will be able 20 make a salts

Owner Parsons interview on Savannahs
street railway system in the Morning
News yesterday was the cause of con-
siderable amusement among the patrons of
the road who have not suffered too much
az the hands of Mr.. Parsons manage
ment to be amused at his reiterated prom
ises of an efficient street car service The
visit of Mr.. Parsons at this time is re-
ported TO be with a view to seeing the new
board of aldermen. Under Mayor Myers
administration, as stated in his letter of
acceptance of the nomination and the
published interviews. and according to the
statements of most of the new Council
made before the election, the street rail-
way ordinances are to be enforced from
now on, something that has been unheard
of for the last four years and probably
for good while longer.
Referring to his position with regard TO
the city and private corporations Mr.
Myers said they should be held to a rigid
compliance with their contract in letter
and in spirit. Il intend" he said that
this statement particularly apply to the
street railway company, which not only
has a contract with the city, but whose
operations are regulated by city ord-
nances. / state willingly that whatever
contract the city has with the street rail-
road company, should be elected Mayor.
shall be carried out to the letter. The
contract shall be enforced in the spirit.

The paragraph alluded to in my letter
of acceptance" continued Mr.. Myers.
Conveys exactly what mean, and / am
satisfied that all the gentlemen who will
be named as candidates on the aldermanic
ticket with me win agree with me in this
matter. Not a single one of those on the
ticket is, so far as / know, interested in
the street railway in any way. and they
can be relied upon to unite with me in
enforcing observance Of all ordinances and
contracts with street railways as well a.
other corporations affecting the comfort
and welfare of the citizens of Savannah"
With the carrying out of this pro-
gramme" said a patron of the car lines
at the Council meeting last night, MIR.
Parsons will have to do more than express
his desire to give Savannah the best street
car service possible. He and his en-
ployes will have to hump themselves to
give a respectable service and keep out
opposition which is crowding in"
Alderman Dixon, chairman of the street
and lane committee of Council, which has
direct charge of the enforcement of the
street railway ordinances, put himself on
record before the election, that so far as
" was III MS poNtNs lHe ordinances SnOuiu
be strictly enforced and the railway COM
pany should be compelled to give salts
factory service.
Alderman Tiedeman, chairman of the
Council, took the same position.
It remains now to be seen whether the
street railway people will have the same
disregard for the law under the Myers adj
ministration that they did under the last
administration, and whether Director Bar
row will see that the new aldermen are
supplied with free passes.

CLERK BAILEY LOSES TWO MEN
Mcssrs. walsh and Patton Succeeded
by MIR Gamble as Mayors secre-
tnry.

Messrs. Walsh and Patton Succeeded
tary.
Shortly after getting down TO business
yesterday Mayor Myers directed some
changes in Clerk OF Council Balley's Of
flee, MIR. Jack Walsh, who has been en-
ployed in the office several months as
clerk, and Mr.. Frank Patton, stenograph-
er, were notified that their services would
be dispensed with after Feb. l. Neither
expected to be retired so soon.
With view to establishing a more
systematic way of conducting the affairs
of the office, and also to reduce expenses,
Mayor Myers has made a departure in ats
organization Mr.. Thomas Gamble, has
been appointed private secretary to
the mayor, and will attend to
much OF the correspondence Of the
office This win give the executive
a personal clerk, and IL is not improbable
the Office may be retained by future ad-
ministrations.
Mr.. Walsh's dismissal does not signify
lack of ability or attentiveness to bust
ness. During his connection with the office
he has distinguished himself for the excel
lent manner In which he has discharged
his duties which are those of a clerk
copyist Mr.. Walsh is a fine penman. and
the ordinances he has copied on the city's
records viii always be admired and com
plimented by those who see them. His
dismissal simply means a consolidation OF
the work of this office.
Mr.. Patton, stenographer, was appointed
hy Mayor Meldrim, and remained with him
through his administration. As a stenog-
rapher Mr.. Patton has demonstrated his
ability on several occasions, among them
being the councimanc Investigations, in
which large volumes of testimony was
shorthanded. He also did some good work
during the longdrawn-out fire commits
sioners' investigation. 1t is understood he
has another position in sight.
There are other changes looked for in
Mr.. Bailey's Office. John Savage who has
been porter az the exchange for thirteen
years is slated to go. Savage's friends
have talked about this dismissal until
they have succeeded In getting him to
believe he is TO be sacrificed. In the event
he does leave the exchange, however, he
will have the satisfaction OF knowing he
has succeeded in performing his duties in
the right manner and that his removal
is attributable largely 70 his political anili-
atoms.
Messenger OF Council Isaac Cohen Is on
the anxious seat. For several minutes
after the Council meeting last night The
messenger experienced an attack Of nerV-
BUSINESS on account of the presence Of ex-
Messenger John Harrison who stood in
the hallway, gazing into Mr.. Baiey's office
wistfully. For some time 1t has been
known Mr.. Harrison was out for this posi-
ton, and he would not have been surprised
If Council had honored him with il last
night. Messenger Cohen does not deny
having done some political work. but ne
does deny he has been negligent In the
proper discharge OF his duties.
