THE GREAT COST OF WAR
MIR. HENRY ID. PIERCE'S OCCASION TO
CONTEMPLATE 1T.
An Affidavit Against Him for Refus-
ing to Ahix Revenue
Stamp.

Notwithstanding amicable relations be-
tween Spain and this government have been
restored and Minister Storer. duly accred
tied TO the ancient court of CASTLE, has been
lost and found, yet there are certain little
evidences of the huge cost of war which
have not disappeared. And 1t was Mr.. Hen
ry Douglas Pierces apparent Indifference
to these evidences which this mighty gov
eminent is continually Haunting in the faces
of patriots who write checks, deeds. send
express packages or make beer that brings
Mr.. Pierce into the contemplation of what
the government may do to prod such In
difference. These evidences are artistic
creations in government paper, some sold
at the ridiculously low price of cent each
and some at the outrageousy high figure of
$50. 1t seems that the government expected,
or at least hoped, as may be hereafter de-
termined, that Mr.. Pierce would invest as
much as 80 cents in one Of these up-to-date
Durers, just to help along high art and
pay the cost of a few Krag-Jorgensen pei
lets used down at Santiago
Ellen Jones is a colored woman, at pres
ent in the City Hospital. recovering from
an operation on the ear. AS the story goes,
she bought lot of Mr.. Pierce near the
Big Four Railroad, between Fourth and
rIth streets, several years ago, and has
been paying for 1t in installments. Recently
she MADE the last payment, and Mr.. Pierce
wrote out deed conveying the property to
the woman and turned the deed over TO a
nephew of Mrs. Jones. When the nephew
presented the deed at the county recorder s
office the recorder refused to file IL because
II contained no revenue stamp. The price
originally fixed on the lot amounted to sew
eral hundred dollars. Mrs. Jones's nephew
said he returned to Mr.. Pierce and ex-
planned the obdurate course Of the county
official. Mr.. Pierce declined to buy a rev.
enue stamp. The nephew didn't care to in
vest 80 cents on his own account, so he
called on his attorney, Duane H. Bowles
Mr.. Bowles, in turn, called on Mr.. Pierce
and informed him, he says, that the govern
ment is very exacting about these matters,
that the maker of deed must put stamp
on II and cancel II. Mr.. Pierce again de-
clined to invest. Mr.. Bowles was so in
sistent that when he left he told Mr.. Pierce
he would give him until o'clock in the
afternoon to aff1x the revenue stamp to the
document. Returning at o'clock, Mr.
Bowles says, he found Mr.. Pierce had gone
out, and clerk informed the attorney that
Mr.. Pierce thought perhaps he might put
the stamp on to-day. While Mr. Pierce was
further cogitating, away from his office.
Mr. Bowles went before United States Com
missioner Moores and made the necessary
affidavit charging Mr.. Pierce with violating
the revenue act. Mr.. Pierces side Of the
case will probably be heard to-day. He will
have the unique honor of being the first
gentleman in Indiana called to account for
refusing to comply with the law.

M'KNIGHT HELD ron BIGAMY.
waiter at Guards Club who Married
Too Many Wives.

Joe Mcknight, a colored waiter employ
ed for several years at the Guards Club,
is behind the bars of the county jail, on
a charge of bigamy. The warrant was
sworn out before Magistrate Naughtin by
the first and only real wife, whom Me,
Knight married in 1898 and subsequently
deserted.
The name of the first wife is Emma Nc
Knight. She was married to the man in
1893. by Rev. Hamilton. the couple living
together for some time in much apparent
happiness and contentment. After a while,
however Joseph became wearied of the
company of his lawfully welded spouse,
and sought fresher and less well known
attractions elsewhere. Then IL was that
his wife was deserted.
In the summer of the present year, Me.
Knight married Geneva Morel and this
came finally to the ears of the other wo.
man. 1t excited her indignation and a de-
termination to be legally avenged upon
her faithless husband. She confronted the
woman who had supplanted her in the af-
fections of Mcknight with the proofs OF
his guilt. but these did not serve to con-
vince her. Then she swore out the war,
ront for bigamy. Mcknight was arrest
ed and committed to jail, where he await,

perior Court

MR.. cARsoN's AUTOMOBILE HERE.
Mr.. Cunningham Gave 1t Its First
Rum on Savannah Streets.


Savannah saw its first automobile yes
terday. The machine was run from the
Plant System freight depot to Mr.. c. A.
L. Cunningham's stables. where it viii
remain until the owner. Mr.. ]. A. G.
Carson. returns to the city.
MIR. Cunningham enjoys the distinction
of being the first person to run an auto
mobile in Savannah. lie went to the
freight warehouse 10 receive the machine,
having been empowered by Mr. Carson to
do 80 in his absence. 1t was rugged up,
placed on the roadway at the depot and
then only awaited a driver.
Cndeterred by his lack of experience,
for he had never before ridden in an auto
mobile Mr.. Cunningham mounted his seat
Mr.. Crimson, a clerk Of the Plant System,
felt sufficient confidence in Mr.. Cunning
ham's ability to master The art of manag-
ing the machine 10 ride with him. Mr.
Cunningham acquiesced, and Mr.. Brinson
climbed TO the seat beside the driver. The
current from the storage batteries was
turned on, and the controller was slide up
to the first notch. Off the machine start
ed, and the trip to the stables was made
without accident or incident
The spectacle of the horseless carriage
making its way along the streets excited
no little interest. A perfect horde of little
darkies fell In its wake, and Mr. Cunning
ham headed a procession. The pace was
not rapid, being about three miles an hour.
That is what the first notch brings out,
though the speed capabilities of the auto
mobile are much greater.
The crowd followed the machine to the
stables number entered to examine it
more closely. The inspection made plain
the general mechanism, though the batter
les, connections and other parts of the cleo
trical economy of n automobile were not
to be seen. The steering gear showed that
the axle OF the front wheels. contrary 10
the established rules with other vehicles,
does not turn, the movement of the steer
ing lever being communicated directly TO
the wheels.
The automobile Is by no means unGrace-
fuf. 1t looks very much like the ordinary
piano box buggy without shafts. There
is an addition of a pair of lamps, fitted up
with incandescent globes, that are not seen
ordinarily on bugeies The machine is built
for comfort, being fitted with rubber tired
wheels an0 with the body on easy Springs
II will not be taken out of the stables, il
is understood, until Mr.. Carson returns 10
the city.
