The Boston Journal finds that "the
name which has. met with warmest re-
ception among democratic workers" as
a candidate for governor. is that of
Congressman John r. Thayer of Wor-
cester. This is a pretty compliment,
but there are conspicuous obstacles to
carrying out any such scheme Mr..
Thayer isn't giving. up a sseatain con-
gress for the wearisome excitement of
being defeated for governor. Neither
are the democrats giving UP a seat in
congress which would surely be filed
with republican the moment Mr..
Thayer resigned or otherwise vacated
it. Finally, Mr.. Thayer is a gold dem
ocrat and the present machine is not
nominating men of his sense. }GIt is an
easy guess that George Fred Williams
has not yet heard this suggestion.
When he does hear of it, with what fine
scorn he will elevate his fine-pointed
moustachel

The Rhode Island jack tar from the

dined with the Princess Chimay in
Cairo, while Capt. Coghlan stared at
the pair from a neighboring table in
the Savoy cafe, can spin a very pretty
yarn. 1t appears that the favored sail

denied that the princess has an Am

A SALUTE FOR WASHINGTON.
GALATIANS HISTORIC GUNS MAY
BOOM ON CENTENNIAL OF HIS
DEATH.

some Observance of the One Hun
dredth Anniversary of the Death
of the. First President VIII Proba-
bly, Be Made in Savannah-A sa-
lutte by the Artillery With the
Guns Presented by Washington an
Appropriate Feature.
President Mckinley calls attention in his
message to Congress that next Thursday,
Dec a. is the one hundredth anniversary
of the death of George Washington, and
notes the extensive preparations that are
being made throughout the country to
commemorate this anniversary
I 1t is not usual in this country to cele-
brate the anniversaries of the deaths of
great men, but in the case of Washington
it can readily be seen that there are rea-
sons why exception might be made to this
Society of the Cincinnati, of which Wash
ington was one of the founders. and the
Sons of the Revolution will hold memorial
services commemorative of the occasion.
In many Of the public schools throughout
the country a portion of the day will be
given to exercises commemorative of the
man who made the United States a nation.
1t is reasoned that such observances will
be the reverse of the ordinary holiday cele-
brations the days set aside for which are
usually given over to recreation of sports
of all kinds without regard for the MEM
DRY of the men whose achievements it is
intended to celebrate.
The suggestion has been made that 1t
would be well for Savannah to make some
public recognition of the day. Mayor
Myers attention was called to the matter
yesterday. The Mayor said that he hard
ly knew what form of observance would
be in keeping with the day beyond order
ing the flag at the City Exchange to be
suspended at half-mast, but said that he
would give the subject further considera-
ton.
It has been suggested that the Chat
ham Artillery should fire a salute from
the two brass cannon presented to the
command by President Washington on
Inc occasion of his visit here in 1871 The
first President of the United States, and
lis greatest was received with great pub
lie demOnstra tons and was most hospi-
tably entertained by the people of the
little city, which was just recovering
from the desolation wrought by the long
war for American liberty. The occasion
was one which was recalled with pleasant
memories by the patriotic citizens of Sa-
vannah until the youngest child who wit
messed the ceremonies had become the
Oldest inhabitant and had passed to his
rest.
AS Savannah was one OF the cities
which played a prominent part in the
events of which Washington was the CEN
trail figure, it would seem that some recog-
milton Of the hundredth anniversary of
the death of the first great American
would not be inappropriate.

MAKING GOOD PROGRESS.
The House Drainage work Now
Wen Under way.

The house drainage work, begun by the
der way. Work is in progress both on
East Broad street and at the Gordon
wharf. An excavation about 600 feet in
length has been made on East Broad
street, between Jones and CASTOR streets,
and considering the comparatively small
force employed Is progressing rapidly.
Between fifty and sixty men are employed
on this portion Of the work, and about
half as many at the Gordon wharf
The work now in progress on East
Broad street Is where the deepest cut wiA
be made the greatest depth to which
IL will be necessary 90 eXcavate being
twenty-three feet. So far the excavation
has been made only to a depth Of about
twelve feet, sheet piling being driven
to retain the light and easily shifting
soil. A Carson eXcavating machine, sim
liar 20 the one used on the work by
Rourke & Mitchell two years ago, has
been ordered from New York, and should
have arrived by now, but seems to have
been lost track of somewhere en- route.
This machine is operated on the trolley
system, the earth being taken up in
buckets from the bottom of the ditch and
carried backward to be used for filling in
purposes.
Three carloads Of brick have arrived.
and the work of laying the main sewer
will begin very shortly. This work will
begin at the Gordon wharf, as 1t is de-
sired to complete that section as soon
as possible. About twelve miles of clay
pipe have been ordered from John
FTancey's Sons & Co, of Toledo. o., this
firm having been the lowest bidder This
Is the same firm which furnished large
part of the pipe to the first contractors,
much of which was never used, owing to
Inc inability of the contractors to carry
out their contract on the lines laid down
by the city.
The diameter of the pipe Is g. TO- u. Is,
Is and "a inches 1t is now on the way
here, and II is expected to begin the work
of pipe laying In January. This work will
be chiefly confined to the eastern side
of the city. being taken up where Con-
tractors Miles & Bradt left off last spring
and carried out southwark. 1t Is expected
to complete the laying of pipe south Of
Anderson street before work Is shut down

TALES OF TWO SHIRTS.
Clara Lee Found Her Husbands
Shirt on Emma JOhnsOn's Spouse.

Clara Lee Found Her Husbands
Shirt on Emma JOhnsOn's Spouse.
A tale of two shirts furnished an anus
ing break in the monotony of peace war
rants in Magistrate Wickham's court yes
terday.
In the first case a warrant was sworn
out against Emma johnson, colored,
charging her with the theft of the
white shirt belonging to Clara Lees hus-
band From the wording of the charge
the natural superstition is that 1t was the
only white shirt possessed by the victim
of the alleged theft, which would account
for Clara's natural pride in the garment
and her solicitude concerning its future
welfare. The shirt was missed from the
Lee household Nov. %, and when next seen
by Clara it adorned the manly form of the
johnson woman's husband This was
more than Clara could stand, and she
promptly took steps for its recovery.
Shirts are not usually marked in places
where "he who runs may read" and just
how Clara identified the shirt in question
would he Interesting. if she could be in
duced to tell.
The second case was that of the non
return Of shirt sent to the laundry of
Jung Lee by a barber in the Screven
House shop When the laundry was re-
turned Jung substituted a cheaper shirt
that had seen much wear for the one he
had received, for which slight -of-hand per-
Torrance he was forced to pay So, 81 for
the shirt and SO for the papers necessary
to make him come to time.

OSBORNE's FRIENDS JUBIkANT.
Pleased That the City Court Solicit
tOrshiD Bill Did Not Pass.

Ffeased That the City Court Solicit
tOrship Bill Did Not Pass.
The bill creating a separate solicitor for
the City Court of Savannah had been
thought in Savannah to be assured of pass
sage. When the news of its defeat was
received and 1t was known that II had
lacked two votes of a constitutional ma
jority when put on its passage, there was
surprise everywhere and CONSERVATION in
the camp of those who had favored the
passage Of the bill.
The friends Of Mr. Osborne regarded 1t
as a great victory. The Solicitor General
had been opposed, not only by all three
of the representatives in the Legislature
from this county, but also by the senator
from the First district. To the friends of
Mr.. Osborne here there seemed no posi-
bility Of the defeat of the bill, and they
were correspondingly elated when the
news came that it had failed to receive the
number of votes requisite to its passage.
Mr. Osborne himself had gone up to look
out for the passage of the bill, and was on
the ground when ii was defeated. There
was and is no reason to believe that he did
not know just what he was doing, and
that he was not familiar with the winding
and turnings Of the case.
1t may be that the advocates of the bin
will ask for reconsideration to-day. but
II is scarcely likely that 1t viii be granted.
To secure a reconsideration requires two
thirds vote of the members of the House,
and 1t is not believed that they who favor
the passage Of the bill will be strong
enough to secure such a vote. The op-
ponents of the bill in the House do not
believe the request and motion for a re-
consideration will receive favorable at
tenton. Nevertheless, this Is the course
that will probably be adopted.
