TIE THREE
PRIVATEERS.
TCOntinued from PAGE IL


which is the tapir, harmless herbi
vorous animal, that might easily be
domesticated. Then there are the great
and the small ant eaters, the armadillo,
the monkeys and marmOsets. Parrots
paroquets, macaws and host OF
gorgeous plumed birds inhabit this
region, among which possibly, the most
interesting is the cathedral bird. This
bird is the possessOr of single note
which so much resembles the sound of
distant church bell, that travellers
have often been misled by it.
1t was through this wonderful region,
so near to natures heart, that the
Privateers, after many days sailing,
often against contrary winds and
currents, arrived at the mouth of the
Jurua River, tributary of the Amazon
that enters about 800 miles above the
Rio Negro. The expedition had not
stopped at Manaos, fearing complica-
tions with the authorities, as it was
we'll understood that Brazil did not
permit foreign vessels to trade above
Manaos. Therefore to avoid any mis-
understandings or delays, the Privateers
had gone on up the river and now
entered the Jurua River that drained a
county where the rubber tree grew in
abundance. This country had been
little explored, but Antonio knew that
rubber was to be had here in plenty.
The natives, in this far western portion
of Brazil, are still in their unadulterated
state and retain the same customs that
they possessed, when nearly 400 years
ago the Spaniards came down from the
plateaus of the Andes in their search
for Manaos, the tabled city of gold.
They are sun worshipers, religion,
which, no doubt, they received from
the highly civilized people, whom Pi-
zarro found inhabiting the high valleys
and plateaus of the Andes. These
people are exceedingly superstitious;
but savage only in the protection of
their rights, real or fancied. In ply
steal bearing the men are Apollos, and
the women Dianas. Some really comely
faces were found among them, especi-
ally among the children.

One of the most important confer
ences that have ever been held, is the
assemblage of the nations at the Hague
having for their purpose the disarma.
ment of all nations. The peace confer
ence is in itself ''curiosity shop" as
Charles Dickens would say. The very
idea of the Car of Russia offering to
lay down his arms and to disband his
soldiers, is so at variance with the Rus
sian polity, that we stand amazed and
look on in speeches. wonderments.
This event being held in the Neither
land, will however do that country
good, and it will make popular the
name of one of the most beautiful and
good young queen, that have ever
graced throne. The young Queen
Wilhelmina is already favorite among
the masses of the people of Europe.
Not only is she held in the highest
esteem by her own people, but by all
Europeans alike, she to-day holds a
similar position to that of Queen Vic
toria fifty or sixty years ago, and the
peace assemb]age will also attract many
visitors to her country, who like to be
at such places, where such things are
going on; and our America will be
we'll represented. With regard to the
peace conference we have no right to
Say that it will, or that it will not, be
success. The sacred word says that the
sword shall be turned into pruning
hooks, and that there shall be war no
more. We are, however, afraid that
the millennium will not come in our
time, and that swords will remain
swords, and fish-hooks will remain fish
hooks. The purpose of the peace con-
ference is all right, but we are afraid
that the nations are not ready to be
willing.

At Benton Harbor, Mich, on June
18th, there was rather singular service
held in the Baptist church. The Rev.
George B. Simons delivered the funeral
sermon in behalf of man who is not
yet dead, and who in fact was sitting in
his own pew, and was nearer of his
own requiem mass. It seems that this
parsonage has had one attack of
apoplexy, and he is fearful of another,
and thinking that his end was not far
off, he desired his pastor to hold full
funeral service, just the same as though
he we're dead. Before complying with
this peculiar request, the pastor con.
suited the attending physician to en-.
quire, if the excitement would be harm
full or assist in producing another fit.
But with the consent of the doctor the
reverend pastor went on with the SER
vice, and no evil result attended. 1t is
not often that persons hear their own
funeral service, but there was a case
some years ago reported, when young
lady, who was supposed to be dead, but
who in reality was in a trance. She
heard her funeral service, she knew
when she was placed into her coffin,
and looked upon for the last time by
Borrowing friends and relations, and it
was not until the moment, when the
coffin was being lowered into her grave,
that she became able to scream or make
noise, upon which her friends became
so alarmed, that they let 60 the coffin
and it fell into the grave. Fortunately,
it lighted feet first, or she would doubt
less have had her neck broken. On
coming to their senses, the undertaken
unscrewed the coffin lid and the young
lady was rescued from her perilous
situation. In this country, also in
England, the authorities have for some
time had under advisement some plan
or method to ascertain if death has
really taken place, before burial pre-
parations are begun, as it is we'll
known, that when once the embalming
fluids have been injected, that then
death is sure, and to prevent the fluid
being used as poison, seems more to
occupy the public mind. That greater
care should be taken, there can be no
doubt, as it is estimated that some three
or four per cent of burials are enacted
upon persons who are not dead.

THE CARELESS USE OF POIsONS.
a Savannah Drussist's Plan for Pre-
venting Mistakes.

NcntlnS htstahts'
A Savannah druggist who has taken a
good deal of interest in the subject of
more careful sale of poisons, believes that
some legislative action should be taken
to prevent their indiscrimlnate sale to ir-
responsible persons. Il is not difficult
matter now for any one TO buy sufficient
quantity Of almost any poison to produce
death. as is frequently seen in suicide by
poison.
1t is not altogether to guard against peo-
pie sulcidally inclined, but against the ac-
cidental use of poison, that the druggist
believes some means should be taken both
to restrict the sale and to prevent acct
dents by mistaking poisons for other med
icines, which is not infrequently done.
Deadly poisons are usually put up in bot
ties or packages bearing a label with
skull and crossbones and marked Poison"
in large letters. This, however, does not
prevent the mistaking of poison from any
other package or bottle in the dark, and
in spite of the usual precautions, every
now and then case is reported OF pol
son taken by mistake, and a life sacri-
feed to haste or carelessness.
The necessity for a distinctive package
or bottle for poisons has impressed itself
upon most druggists. OF course, said the
druggist who has interested himself in the
matter, law would not be necessary to
secure the use Of a distinctive package. 1t
is as easy to keep in stock three-corner-
ed bottle for instance, as it is a round
bottle, and If the use of sharp three-cor-
nered bottles for deadly poisons could be
made general, and they were used for
nothing else, it would very soon be a diff
cult matter to mistake a poison for any
other drug.
Most cases of accidental poisoning, said
the druggist, are the result of installing
poisons for other medicines in the
dark In a recent case a mother
gave carbolc acid to her child for
cough medicine because she did not
exercise the sense that person ordinarily
would i'm the use of sugar or salt at meals.
Had the bottle in this instance been of
distinctive hape-three-cornered for in
stance-it would have been noticed at once
and the accident would never have occur
red.
While a three-cornered bottle would be
an ordinary safeguard against the acct
dental use of persons it would, of course
be no bar to the person who wants TO
get rid of himself. That matter is a sub
ject for legislation. Only by a careful
and discriminating sale of poisons and in
every instance requiring the identihcat ton
of unknown persons who attempt TO pur-
chase poisons, and then by a registra ton
of the name and addresses of ALI persons
purchasing them. and refusing to sell to
any persons concerning whom there - a
suspicion of responsibility is there surety
against their illegitimate use.

FREIGHT cans IN DEMAND.
Orders Coming In to the Georgia Car
Company.

Mr. Archer Richards, formerly chief
craftsman and designer for the jackson
& Sharp Car Company of Wilmington.
Del, is now assistant superintendent of
the Georgia Car Manufacturing Company.
Mr.. Richards has been fourteen years with
the Jackson & Sharp company He was
until recently vice president of the As
ISOLATION of American Craftsmen and is
a designer of such ability and experience
as to guarantee his success in connection
with the Savannah company
Mr.. Richards believes from his long ex-
perience and connection with one of the
leading car manufacturing companies in
the country, that the Savannah company
has advantages which should insure il be-
coming a successful competitor with the
freight cars manufactures of the East
and West. II has every advantage in the
securing OF lumber and cast-iron work.
Freight car building in the East and West
Is in the control of a combination. The
Georgia company has large orders from
a number of Southern roads, and the
prospects are that il viii have an the
business that it can handle within the
next few months.
The demand for freight cars on all of
the great lines Is heavier now than il has
been at any time in the last ten years.

DIR. LIE HARDY's RETURN.
He Is Expected at the City Exchange
Sometime This Week


Sometime This Week.
Health Officer LeHardy is expected to
return to his Office in the city exchange
during the week Al present he is on his
plantation in Florida, where he has spent
some time in an effort to regain strength
he lost during his recent illness.
1t is stated that food laws which are
now being violated, demand the personal
attention of DIR. LeHardy, whose deter
mination rarely fails him in bringing
about the strict enforcement of laws ne
finds are not being properly respected. The
recent complaints of impure milk, a sub
ject 10 which the health department has
devoted much attention, will be taken up
and an effort will be made TO enforce the
ordinance relative TO milk. 1t is stated
that the complaints are that much of the
milk sold in Savannah is "watered." The
dairymen, who sell nothing but the gem
uine article, are interested in the move
ment to enforce the pure milk ordnance
as they canont well compete with dealers
who blend their product with H2O.

carried out in consolidating the food in

department will continue to get the bene-

admiration and esteem in which they held

Fellows Hall during the day from 10 a.
m. to p. m. During this time the hall
was visited by a great number of per-
sons, of every condition and color. The
manifestations were frequent and sincere.
Doubtless many were deferred from at
tending the funeral by the rain and cold
of the day, who otherwise would have been
present, but even under these adverse
conditions the attendance was very large.
