a Hotel In a Graveyard.

One Of the largest hotels in Central
America, and by far the largest in ba-
lize, Honduras, is surrounded by tomb
stones. 1t was erected about 30 years
ago in order to meet want which had
long been felt by tourists.

ADi.h He Didn,t Want.

Meilhac, the famous French COM
poser, was a man Of simple taste and
very absentmlnded. Once in restau-
rant he abstractedly pointed to a dish
on the bill of fare that the waiter
handed to him. 1t happened to be the
most elaborate and costly dish on the
bill. and when the waiter went to the
kitchen with the order there was COM
motion there.
The proprietor himself arrived, and
lie and the chief cook devoted them
selves to the preparation Of the famous
dish. One man was sent for this
choice ingredient and another for an
other. Meantime NJ. Meilhac waited,
absorbed.
At last the dish was brought with n
great flourish, and the proprietor stood
not far away to observe the result.
When it was deposited on the table,
AIeilhac looked at it with an express
sion Of melancholy interest.
"Did 1 order that?" he asked.
Certainly, monsieur"
"Do you like it?'
"But-but yes, monsieur
"Thcn take it away and eat it your
SELF" ordered Meilhac, "and bring ME
two fried eggs"
The order was carried out, and the
proprietor wondered il he had q mad

Easy Remedy.

In speaking Of the pcculiarities OF
the colt Limerick, Ben Kcnney told
me that he cured him Of the annoying
habit Of throwing his nose out and
shaking his head by simply trimming
all the long hairs out Of his nostrils,
SAYS a writer in The Horse Review.
The wind blew the hairs back in his
nose and tickled him so that he
couldn't keep his head still. kenney
said that he believed long hairs in the
nose were just what caused SO many
horses to shake their heads when trot-
ting against the wind. 1t is new one
on me, but it looks sensible and Is
worth Observation-Disclosures and Fac

in our belief IN such society. and ac-

with superIors. We call our chldr"h

Dipping the Public.

Imitation is said 10 be the sincerest form

method of paying tribute to the excellence
of the original article which the public
has learned to have confidence in. Illegal
imitation in the way of counterfeitipg la

reached considerable proportions. bur now
those who dispense them by the glass have
even gone so far as 10 refill the bottles of
Wen known wines and mineral waters 81
that when one orders drinks by The glass

quarterly meeting of the year. Company
affairs were discussed, but nothing was
done towards filling the vacancy which
exists in the captaincy by reason of the
resignation of Capt. Henry KOlshOrn who
now commands Company K of the Third
Georgia Regiment.
The Irish Jasper Greens also held their
first quarterly meeting. The meeting was
largely attended, and much interest was
manifested. The Greens have taken in a
number of new members from the war
members of Company L of the First Geor-
gia, who were not formerly members Of
the Greens. The company is in good
shape and ready for work, but is hamp-
cred by the lack of arms. Unlike several
Of the other companies of the regiment,
the Greens have no troubles on the score
of selecting new officers. The three Of
ficers who served the company previous
to the war, and who served with Company
L during the war, still continue with the
company. These officers are Capt. P. F.
Gleason, First Lieutenant E. A. Leonard
and Second Lieutenant J. f. Mccarthy.
A more efficient team it would be hard to
find, and it is unnecessary to state that
there is no desire on the part of the COM
pany for a change.

NEW TELEPHONE COMPANY.
Council Called TO Consider Petition
for n Franchise.

Mayor Meldrim called a special meeting
Of the City Council yesterday for the pur-
pose Of considering the petition of Mr.. ".
A. Bisbee Of Jacksonville, who desires to
establish a telephone line In Savannah.
The meeting was called for 4;8O o'clock,
but as IL was apparent some time after
this hour that there would probably not be
a quorum, the meeting was called off and
the petition will not be considered until the
regular meeting tomorrow night
Just when the new company is to begin
its operations, in the event il is given a
franchise by the city, IS not known even
to those interested. The petition states
the company has not yet been incorpora-
ted, but that It IS the intention to apply for
Incorporation TO the Superior Court in the
near future II is proposed to charter il
as the Georgia Telephone Company. The
application for franchise is being managed
in Council by Messrs. Charlton, Mackall
and Anderson.
The petition goes on 10 say that it is the
intention of the petitioner. and those who
may hereafter be associated with him, to
establish first-class telephone line, both
in the business and residential parts Of the
city, and to this end asks authority to use
the streets and lanes for this purpose. 1t
il desired to erect poles for the running
wires and generally to do whatever is nee
essary to properly equip a telephone line.
Mr.. Bisbee is connected with one of the
telephone companies now operating an
jacksonville, where the competition in this
service has had the effect of reducing rates
10 desirable extent. The interests he
represents feel that here is room for an
other company in Savannah, and If prop
erly received it may construct the propos-
ed line and give Savannah wholesome COM
petition in the telephone business.
While II Is expected the new company
will be given every encouragement in Sa-
vannah, the restriction of putting its wires
underground will be required in the ordi-
nance that may be adopted Council seems
to be well settled about putting wires un-
derground, and thereby doing away with
unsightly poles. The board has long since
come to the conclusion the streets are en-
numbered with too many poles, and III
order to decrease them, all new concerns
are required to use this system The Bel
company now contemplates the extension
of that part of its underground system
which has been in use for some time
In anticipation of possible opposition
Manager Polk was asked the other day as
to whether the Bell company would re-
duce rates if a new company enters the
city. He said he did not think there would
be rny reduction by his company. He
said II would endeavor TO maintain the
| character of the service now being given
| but he thought a reduction on account OF
the installation of a new company is very
improbable.

sars was held last night at their quarters.
The election of members of the executive
committee for the term of three years re-
suited in the choice of Capt. w. w. Starr,
Mr.. II. ]. Jensen and Mr.. w. F, Train.
Nothing was done regarding the talked
of consolidation Of the Guards, Chathams
and Hussars. The matter, In fact, has re-
ceived little consideration from the MEM
bers of the latter organization of a favor
able character, and there is practical unan-
unity against It, Judging from the pres
ent standing of the members toward the
proposal Il can be stated with certainty
that the Hussars would not leave their
present quarters for the Guards.
A flag was received by the troop. This
came from Porto Rico. and has a history.
II was brought to Savannah by Lieut.. w.
w. Gordon, Jr, and by him turned over
10 the troop at the request of Mr.. II. b.
Lemcke by whom it is presented. 1t was
given to Mr. Lemcke, who is now in Porto
Rico by a Spaniard. The flag is of the
auidon order and is of interest from the
fact that it was the last left flying on
Aibencto Pass. where the last stand Of
the Spauiards against the Americans was
made. The Spanish Guidon will be pre-
served by the troop as a memento of the
triumph of American arms.

WELL KNOWN BY HIS BILL.
Ex-senator Munro Renews Old PO-
IiticaI Acquaintance Here.

Ex-senator George Munro, of Beuna
Vista, in Marion county, was in the city
yesterday. Mr.. Munro is an attorney, and
came to Savannah on private legal bust
ness. At the same time he renewed old
mountaineering with Hon. Fleming G..
duBignon, Solicitor General Osborne and
Others
Everybody interested in politics in Sa-
vannah knows of Senator Munro and quite
a number are personally acquainted with
him. He is the author of the noted Munro
bin, permitting aldermen to accept city
| offices by appointment during their alder
manic terms. There was time three years
ago when Senator Munro was roundly
| abused by one large faction here, while
another was inclined to applaud him to the
| skies. 1t was under his bin that Alderman
| Willink was enabled 10 take the commits
| sionership that has recently been wiped
| out by legislation. The bin was a general
| one, and stands on the statute books as
amended by Senator Munro to-day
| There was much joking with Mr. Munro
yesterday over his innocent little bill and
the wonderful influences it has exerted on
| Savannah politics for three years past
and perhaps for some time to come. But
| for the Munro bin Mr.. Willink would never
| have been commissioner, and the political
| history of Savannah might have been
| considerably changed from what it has
! been. To the administration OF the depart
ment of public works many of the old
| Citizens Club politicians attribute much
| of their troubles, and while they are still
| grateful to Senator Munro for his kind
| ness to them at a critical time the feeling
is no doubt mingled with a considerable
regret that his bill did not fan by the
wayside, instead of passing just before the
speakers gavel fell and the legislature
