An Excellent Combination.


The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUP OF FIGs, manufactured by the
CALIFoRNIA FIe SYRUP Co., illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laxa-
tive principles of plants known to be
incidentally laxative and presenting
them in the form most refreshing to the
taste and acceptable to the system. 1t
is the one perfect strengthening laxa-
tive, cleansing the system effectually,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
gently vet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per-
manently. Its perfect freedom from
every Objectionable quality and sub
stance, and its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.
In the process of manufacturing figs
are used, as they are pleasant to the
taste, but the medicinal qualities OF the
rsiz1s ly are obtained from SIENNA and
other aromatic plants, by a method
known to the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUr
Co. only. In order to get its beneficial
effects and to avoid limitations, please
remember the full name of the Company

Suept. Myers says, were it not
for the system in vogue with the railroads.
The roads make an excessive charge for
carrying all manner of packages and bag
gage, having a special car in which they
are put. There is no such thing as bag
gage being checked on a ticket Passen-
gers have to pay for it all. The roads
have very good thing in this, and are
not ready to make any concessions to the
express company. They do not under
stand that, by the Introduction of sys-
TEN such as is had in this country, the
opportunities for trade and business are
increased, and that is gained indirectly
that might not come to the roads directly
If the express company enjoyed the privi-
lege of using the rail lines for their ship
ments. To secure this privilege would cost
the company too much, and it would not
be able to charge enough above what the
roads now make to enable it to pay the
lines what they would want and, at the
same time, realize profit. The express
company could not, and would not If it
could, charge any more than the high
rates now demanded by the railroads.

COUNCIL TO MEET TODAY.
Expected Some Reductions Will BE
NIude in Budget.

Mayor Myers will have a meeting of the
CITY Council called for this afternoon at
O'Clock to further consider the reduction
of the budget. 1t is expected the board
will reach some conclusion as to the course
it will pursue, as the appropriations of the
three main departments have already been
considered. and it is probable the others
can be gone over.
There is still no inclination to say along
what lines the reductions will be made,
other than that the appropriation for each
department will be reduced, il 1t can be
done without seriously interfering with its
efficiency. When all the branches Of the
city government have been scrutlnized the
board will. of course, look TO the strongest
to bear the burdens 1t is understood 10 be
preferable to cut the salaries OF higher OIL
ficias rather than take men OIL the hre
and police departments to make saving.
A majority of Council is understood to look
upon these as the most important depart
ments, and win not interfere with them
unless there is no other way out of the sit
uation.
Besides the consideration of the budget.
il Is stated that some of the ordinances
abolishing and consolidating city offices,
will be introduced. For some time this
move has been contemplated and If the
board should take the first steps towards
retrenchment this afternoon the ordi-
nances relative to offices previously mem
toned in the Morning News. viii probably
be introduced. Whether they will pass re-
mains to be seen. 1t is known there is OPP
position to some of them.
Mayor Myers may refer letter from
Health officer LeHardy to Council to deA
eide whether he shall be granted further
leave of absence A letter was received
yesterday from DR. LeHardy requesting
that he be granted further leave Of three
weeks. but as he was recently granted an
extension of two weeks, Mayor Myers re-
piled that in view of the ordinance prohib-
iting the Mayor from granting city officials
more than thirty days leave at one time,
he felt required to submit the letter to
Council DIR. LeHardy is i'll at Suwannee
Springs, and 1t has been reported he was
threatened with pneumonia. If IL is learn
ed that his illness is such as to probably
prevent him from discharging his duties
for some time to come, il Is probable
temporary appointment Will be made DR..
LeHardy has large number of friends In
Savannah who regret his misfortune, and
who are anxious to hear of his early re-
covery.
The charity question is another which
may be called to the attention of Council.
1t has become evident that something will
have to be done by the city, as the poor
continue 10 cali at the exchange for aid,
notwiths landing the Mayor has no fund
at his disposal to help the most deserving
applicants. 1t is not understood the city
will become a regular dispensing agent of
charity, but where there are cases 1t is
to the interest of the community to send
from town, It seems to be the desire to set
| a fund aside for this purpose.

AT THE THEATER.
Joe OFT in ''LoolSing for Trouble" the
Next Attraction.

Next Attraction
The next attraction at the theater is Joe
OFT, in Looking for Trouble" next Mon
day and Tuesday nights. When OFT made
his first appearance as conspicuous
member of the late william Mestayer's
company, he was instantly recognized as
a comedian of rare attachments, and with
a method so unqualifedly quaint and droll
as to give the impression that the time
was not far distance when he would head
an organization of his own. The predic-
ton was soon verified, for very shortly
afterwards "The Star Gazer" was made
to serve as a means to introduce Mr.. OFT,
as a full-fledged stellar attraction, and for
six years thereafter it amply proved itself
worthy of the favors bestowed by dis
eliminating audiences in all parts of the
country.
Mr.. Off, realizing that the public de-
mand requires an actor to present some
thing new occasionally, has secured nov
city in the form of a farce comedy and
which has been styled Looking for Trou-
BILE" The title furnishes pretty fair idea
of what the play is intended to be, and
from reliable sources, it is exactly the kind
of a mixture of harmless fun and musical
pastime, as cannot fail to delight theater
patrons, who are invariably the best
Judges of what is most needed.
Rosenthal. the pianist, will give his first
recital in Savannah next Tuesday after
noon In the utterance of every great pi-
anist on the concert stage. there are quail
tiles peculiar to the personality of the
player unmatched by those of any other
artist. The cultured amateur perceives
and enioys these personal gifts, but the
philistine concert-goer imagines that all
artists should play exactly alike, all must
be cut 10 the pattern of the reigning ia
vorite. In literature the greatest man to-
day is for originality, not so in music,
here tradition rules, and originality is
dangerous endowment. To-day all genius
must run the race of virtuosty, when this
is attained, originality has earned hear
ing, but not before. Those artists are
very few who are able to pay this toll
and have anything left for themselves.
Mr.. Rosenthal is one of these few In his
youth he began as consummate Virtu-
oso. as such he stands to-day at the head
of his class. No one man living Is his
peer in that finished virtuosity which,
having carried technique to its last per-
lection. applies to 1t the most daring feats
of bravura But Rosenthal is even more
than this. He is one of the most intelli-
gent and intellectual players living. His
conception is broad, his construction beau
tifully clear, his taste poetic and cultured
rims the programmes of his season, which
contain every virtuosity-piece of existence,
win offer the pianists and the student Of
music not only a delight, but an educa-
tiont The delivery of every piece on ev-
ery programme of Mr.. Rosenthars pres
ent tour may be regarded as a standard Of
perfection

CHANGES IN HEALTH OFFICE.
George levin Appointed an Inspec-
tor and G. w. LufburrOv Removed.

George Levin Appointed an Inspec-
tor and c. w. LufburrOw Removed.
Mayor Myers made few changes IN the
health department yesterday. George
Levin was appointed sanitary Inspector,
and was directed to report for duty Monday
morning Inspector c. w. Lufburrow.
who has been connected with the DEPART
ment for the past two years, was notified
that his services will no longer be re-
quired.
In the dismissal of Inspector Lufburrow
the city loses an efficient employe. For
several weeks he has not been able to at
tend to his duties on account of Illness.
While connected with the department he
not only performed the duties of sanitary
inspector, but acted as food inspector also
during the few weeks this position was va
cant.
With Mr.. Levin, the health department
will consist of Mr.. Chris Melvin, assistant
health officer and Inspectors Mcdonald
Stern and Food Inspector Well. The reg
ular routine work is being well performed
but the affairs of the Office could be better
conducted, of course, if DR.. LeHardy vas
able to be at his post. Considering the in
convenience the department has suffered.
however, much credit Is due those in
charge for the manner in which Il has
been directed.

CHARITY RELIEVES SUFFERING.

shoes, Food ana Fuel Distributed to
the Poor.
The good women of Savannah continued
yesterday their efforts to relieve the dis
tresses of the poor, caused by the biz
gard. Organized charity and individual
benevolence were both at work. Wherever
suffering was encountered, everything pos
sible was done to remove it.
Miss Viola Kennedy was again at her
kindly and gracious ministrations. Mrs.
G. L. Chestnut increased the sum he
had previously raised among his friends
to $500, and others contributed 10 Miss
Kennedy's relief fund. Thus her labors
we're lightened. Food, shoes and fuel
were distributed among the poor, but no
money. In the hands of the thriftless she
has found that the actual legal tender does
more harm than good, finding it's way
often to the worthless head OF the family,
and by him dispensed at the nearest grog-
shop.
A charity that is doing much good is
the day nursery, maintained by the local
circles of Kings daughters. Here the
tiny tots whose mothers are employed dur
ing the day are carefully looked after
and tenderly nurtured. The home that is
made for them at the nursery is more COM
Portable and CHEEKY than they would have
with their parents, and the associations
Infinitely better than those which they
would have if left to the tender mercies of
the neighbors in the districts in which the
mothers live.

COLD WEATHER RAN UP EGGS.
Twenty-Five to Thirty Cents a Dozen
the Wholesale Price.

The. cold weather and the delayed trains
have caused the price of eggs to advance
7 to 10 cents within the last two days
People were clamoring for the popular
product. and even those that were frozen
were eagerly sought and 80 cents a dozen
was freely paid.
There have been no receipts during the
last few days, and the local hens refused
to attempt to supply the demand.
Yesterday the supply was very small,
and dealers were charging % cents to 30
cents per dozen at wholesale and even
at the advance, would only allow Gus
toner TO buy a limited quantity.
1t is expected that as soon as the wealth
er settles, and the trains begin to run
regularly the supply will meet the de-
mand, and the price win decline.
