pocket knives, suspenders, ties, pocket
books and articles that make up a ped

men seeming most anxious TO get rid Of

One dealer had an immense furniture

HAS A FEW RECRUITS.
There Have Been Many Applicants
for Enlistment,

There Have Been Many Applicants
for Enlistment.
Business has opened up very well at the
recruiting Office for the regular army that
has been established by Lieut.. G. B.
Pritchard, Jr., in one of the rooms Of the
basement of the Georgia Hussars' armory.
He has had number of applications, but
the men who have wanted to enlist in the
service have not. as a rule, been such as
to come up to the recruiting officers idea
of what constitutes a good recruit. The
regular army requirements are being rig
idly adhered to, and unless a man is very
well made physically he stands no chance
of getting in. Being built on the wrong
plan has been the bar to the acceptance
of most of those who have applied but
there have been several accepted and sent
away by Lieut.. Pritchard.
Orders have been received from the as
sistant secretary of war directing that re-
crults for the heavy artillery be sent TO
the Sixth Regiment at ST. Francis bar
racks, st. Augustine This regiment is
under orders for the Philippines. Recruits
for infantry or cavalry have 10 go to the
barracks Columbus, o., where they will
be assigned to commands. Every recruit
has to be vaccinated before he is sent
away Such are the orders that have
come from the war department. Lieut..
Pritchard will probably make arrange
monts to-day for some surgeon to attend
to the vaccination of the men whom he
may accept.
If re-enlisted men prefer, they can be
given furloughs of twenty days from Sa-
vannah instead of from those places to
which they may be sent by the recruiting
officer This was a concession suggested
by the war department by Col. Tyson of
the Immunes and by Lieut.. Pritchard him
self. 1t was thought the members of regi-
ments mustered out of the service would
be much more likely to re-enlist if they
were allowed TO go to their homes first.
Many more men have been turned down
than have been allowed to sign the enlist
ment blanks. There have been but very
few of the Sixth Immunes to inquire about
re-cnlisting. 1t would seem that they have
had quite enough of the service. 1t is be-
leved however that there will be some
of them in to-day to consider the matter
officers expect the regiments that are to
be mustered out of The service here to
furnish a large number of recruits. II Is
known that there are great many of the
volunteers who are anxious to leave the
army lust as soon as possible, but 1t is
Thought there will be many who will not
have anything better in prospect than re-
enlistment AS time passes the old aver
sion to military life seems to wear off, for
the recruiting officer has had Applicant tons
from u number of men who served in the
Second Georgia, the Chatham Artillery
and tie Savannah companies of the First
Georgia.
sergt Nobntt of the Eighteenth In
fantrv. who came from Fort Bliss, Texas
is assisting Lieut.. Pritchard. AS clerks,
he will also have two privates of the First
Artillery, who have been ordered here from
sullivan's Island near Charleston.

IMMUNE EN ROUTE HOME.
He Struck a Whitaker Street Car and
Called for "satisfacfion.o


The street railway got a good share of
patronage from the departing members
of the Sixth Volunteer Infantry yesterday.
Cars to the depots were checked full of
soldiers, especially about o'clock, when
they were on their way to the trains
Some of the men did not hesitate to ex-
press their JOY on their changed conditions.
and were at times quite communicative
with other passengers.
An Immune boarded a Whitaker street
car at Broughton street, and for several
blocks succeeded in making fun for
dozen or more passengers. The soldier was
of a frisky turn of mind asked nobody
any odds and looking for the shortest
route home. His belongings consisted of
well filled telescope valise, and attached
to this he had big bundle containing his
army accoutrenients.
Shortest way to the Georgia and Ala
bama?" he asked of the conductor.
Not getting an immediate response the
soldier passed through the car, gazing
grimly at the passenger. Going 10 the
front he swung his bundles on the plat
form and demanded Information. Before
the motorman had time to speak, the I'm
mune struck bee line for the other end
of the car, calling out to the passengers.
"Gol darn il, can't git no satisfaction"
When the soldier was told to hold his
peace till he reached Liberty street, he
seated himself near window and swung
his head out for observation When the
car got up speed the Immune's hat was
carried off by the wind. and as he didn't
care to lose the comrade that stuck TO
him at Arecibo, the car was stopped and
his hat recovered.
AT Liberty street the soldier was put
off for another car. He maintained his
equanimity until the car started away,
when he again cried out for information.
He got IL when some one cried out,
Shoost wait till the car comes, and den
go dat way"

'gAU7T CASE A MISTRIAL.
cUsED BY A DEATH IN JUROR
GRIFFITH'S FAMILY.

,rue-The Defense Was Unwilling

r.. Heard Next Week.
death in the family of Juror Robert
u Griffith caused a mistrial yesterday in
,he case of George w. Haupt, charged
With embezzIement.
Mr. Griffith was the first man sworn on
the Jury. His little 2-year-o.d boy was
mite ill at the time with pneumonia, but
he had no reason to expect a fatal ter
rination. During Tuesday night the boy
died. Mr.. Griffith was at the Screven,
with the other jurors, in charge of the
bailiffs and was not Informed of the death
nj his son until early yesterday morning.
He was also informed that his wife, who
VAS worn out with loss of sleep in watch
ing by side of her child, had be-
come irrational since the little ones death.
The news was a great shock to Mr..
Griffith, and his grief was evident to those
who we're with him at the time. Being
confined upon the jury, it was impossible
for Mr. Griffith to go at once TO his wife,
as he naturally desired to do, and it was
necessary to wait until court convened,
which was at 10 o'clock a. m.
Judge Falligant was informed of the sad
q note from DIR. M X. Corbin. When the
jury was brought in ii was evident that
Mr. Griffith was under great mental
strain, and his eyes were red from weep
ing Judge Falligant read the note from
Dr. Corbin, and at once announced that
he intended to excuse Mr.. Griffith.
Solicitor General Osborne announced that
he was ready to proceed with the case
with eleven Jurors. To this, however, MIR.
Haupts counsel, Mr.. w. C. Hartridge.
would not consent. This left a mistrial
as the only alternative. Mr.. Griffith was
accordingly ordered withdrawn from the
jury and a mistrial declared.
Judge Falligant announced that the en-
bezzlement case against Mr. Haupt would
be set for March 20. Owing to the I'M
fortunate incident an entire days work in
the embezzlement case of a very tedious
character is rendered void and will have
10 be gone over again. The law does not
allow judge to require a trial to proceed
IN a felony case with only eleven Jurors
without the consent of both the prosecu-
ton and defense, the right to avail himself
OF every opportunity which may seem 20
lis advantage being given the accused.
Mr. Griffith, who was the unfortunate
cause of yesterdays postponement is A
grocer, residing It CASTOR and West
Broad streets. His wife's mental condi-
Ton is believed TO be only temporary. be-
ing due to the strain and fatigue under
which she had been for the several DAYS
previous and mental anguish at the death
OF her child

An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUP OF FIGS, manufactured by the
CALIFORNIA FIG 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 yet 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
remedy are obtained from SIENNA and
other aromatic plants, by method
known to the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP
Co. only. In order to get its beneficial
effects and to avoid limitations, please
remember the full name of the Company
printed on the front of every package.
