especially true of The Last Rose of

the distinction of being the most melodi-
Gus number of the score. y y
Miss Ada Palmer Walker as Martha
possesses such a voice as is not often
heard on the local stage. 1t is highly
cultured, sweet, powerful and of fault
less intonation, and her rendition of that
gem, The Last Rose of Summer, was a
revelation. 1t is equal to any rendition

stage, the lamented Emma Abbot hav-

otherwise admirably fulfilled the require

They are evidently concentrating be-
tween Caloocan and Malabon. Judging
from appearances the Filipinos are
being re-enforced by better drilled men
from the northern provinces. In front
of Caloocan they are as thick as swarm
of bees. The American troops feel the
heat at midday in the open, but ale anx-
ious to proceed The F'ilipinos are
still entrenched on the left of Caloocan.
Telegraph operators are worth their

Alderman Dixon Discusses sidewalk
Regulations.

Alderman Dixon chairman Of the Streets
and Lanes Committee Of Council said yes
| terday that he does not favor any change
in the methoda now being pursued by the
city in. laying sidewalks in the section
south Of Anderson street.
Alderman Dixon's attention was called
to the suggestion that the new sidewalks
on the cross streets should be laid with
the grass plat between the property line
and the walk, instead Of between the walk
and the curb line in behalf of which
change various reasons have been adj
yenced, he did not think the idea a good
one.
The grass plats are used" he sad
mot only for planting trees. but for loca-
tons for telephone, telegraph and electric
light poles. 1t would be neither cOnven-
lent nor satisfactory to nave the polesaso
close to the houses and where the houses
are built close 10 the property lines trees
would also be found to be an inconveni-
ence. 1t would also be necessary to pro-
vide curb on each side, instead of only
an outside curb, as at present, which
would be an additional expense to the
property owners The artificial stone
walks are laid for the most part with "a
grass plat on each side and the effect is
very pleasing one"
Alderman Dixon said he thought 1t would
be good thing for the city to have
building law, regulating the distance or
nearness of buildings from the property
line In the residence districts, which would
prevent property owners who have no re-
gard for appearances from building a.
rectly up to the property line and thus
spelling the appearance of an entire block
The alderman also remarked that the ar
tihcial stone walks in Colonial Park are
not wearing very well and predicted that
the brick walks now being laid in the
southern section would outlast the artiti-
eial stone walks by many years.

LOOK AFTER THE CARELESS.
IL Is These Persons Police Are De-
signed to Protect.

MI John r. Young is still strongly exer-
cised Of the loss Of 500 by one OF his Gus
toners and the failure Of the detectives
to recover the money. Mr.. Young IS
forced to the conclusion that the money
ought to have been tn the renewed pos
session Of his customer ,ong ere this.
The objection has been made that the
man who lost the money was ignorant and
stupid, and that It was on this account
that he permitted himself to be made an
easy mark for the fakirs and grafters
Those who offer excuses for the detectives
say that had he exhibited a reasonable
amount Of intelligence. he would not have
lost his money. and that his misfortune
was the direct result Of mis- own careless
ness and folly.
In answer to this, Mr.. Young says that
1t is the province of the police and detec-
tive department to protect just such per-
sons Were every man in the city en-
dOwed with supernatural intelligence and
acquainted with all the confidence games
that had ever been worked it would not
be necessary 10 employ a force Of 100 men
to protect them. Every one Of such in
dviduals as these would be able to look
after himself.
Ii is the stupid and the careless that
the police and detective force are designed
10 protect. 1t Is such characters as these.
that are likely TO part with their money
at the instance Of the confidence men and
individuals Of the like Tx. that the guard
ians of the law are intended to guard. Men
Who have been up against these games be-
fore don't need protection, but know very
wen now to look after themselves. It is
impossible to think they could be taken
in with the games so prevalent in Savan-
nah, that have caused the scandal with
which the police and de tective departments
now have TO deal.
