Political Equality Notes.

OF the government who insist in bear
ing its burden, by no means exclud-
ing women. '-A5raham Lincoln.
o Judge Luthill of the Juvenal court
Of Chicago in an address before a club
said: The real good things society
needs in the way of reform can be
brought about BY women, and | am
waiting for the time when, through
equal suffrage women can work in
the most direct way. The Juvenal
court Is her institution. Men never
pause to think OF another man ) chill
dren. 1t remained for women to re-
christen this child criminal and call
him delinquent"
The world is beginning 20 take a
new view of the suffrage question.
One of the foremost arguments is that
it would be harmful to woman TO
thrust her in contact with the ROUGH
conditions OF public life The econo-
mic and professional tendencies Of
women and their success in the var
ious enterprises they have entered
have done much to destroy the force
OF the plea to preserve women from
the communicating contact with harsh
conditions. +" The security of the
average woman worker in the yarious
lines OF honest activity has been a
great revelation. The closing of the
century is witnessing a great change
OF public sentiment as to the woman
movement. And the demand of the
suffragists is only strengthened by
the demonstrated fact that women
can become workers with men with
out becoming demoralized.

Talks on School Affairs.

The most important part OF the

this knowledge in a fairly satisfactory

such things and keep his confidence

Since it is largely upon the confidence
in the teacher that the discipline Of
the school depends. we see here one

PERSONATED MISSING SOLDIER.
An Alleged Scheme to Defraud
Through the Mails.

An interesting case will be heard this
afternoon by United States Commissioner
J. Fred Lewis. when Lester Walls and
Bessie e. Williams. both colored. win be
heard on the charge of using the mails
with the purpose to defraud.
The alleged scheme originated quite a
while age, and has been continued up TO
within very short time of the present.
During the encampment of the Seventh
Army Corps here, there was enlisted in
one of the regiments a young soldier from
Colorado. After his regiment had been
disoanded, or he had received his dis
charge he left for Arizona, but ii would
seem, did not notify his relatives of his
whereabouts, and they, or that is his
mother, Mrs. Beck, continued to forward
letters to him here. They advertised for
his whereabouts in the Morning News.
A reply to the advertisement was written,
purporting to come from a friend of the
soldier, and stated that he had met with
an accident and was disabled and in
bad way generally. particularly as to the
want Of money. This letter was answer
ed by the mother, and drew forth other
communications from this end at times
written in the name of the soldier him
self, ond then again in the name of the
friend who had answered the first letter.
Altogether there are some twenty or twen-
ty-nve of these communications.
Mrs. Becks suspicious as to the genu-
ineness of the supposed circumstances OF
her sons condition had been aroused by
the first of these letters and from the
others she became firmly convinced that
there was something peculiar about the
case. so a short time ago she wrote the
United States marshal of the Southern
district OF Georgia. giving him the cir
cumstances OF the case and asked that
he look into the matter. The case was
turned over to Capt. c. ]. White OF this
city, who. together with Mr.. F. A.
O'Brien, postoffice inspector. investigated
the matter, with the result that on FRI
day Walls was arrested, and yesterday
the Williams woman, the warrants being
sworn out by Mr.. O'Brien, who charges
both prisoners with using the mails to

THE REGIS BADLY DAMAGED.
Firemen Tut in Several Hours Hard
Work on the Burning Tug.

The damage to the tug Regis by fire ear
ly yesterday morning appears to have been
much greater than was first supposed. The
tremen found 1t necessary to remain at the
tug until nearly 4 o'clock. The damage
is estimated at about 5000.
The fire is supposed to have caught from
oil waste in the engine room. 1t burnt
through the engineers sleeping quarters,
the dining room and galley, besides dam
aging the woodwork generally. Suparin-
tendent Mcguire stated yesterday that he
found no Waterman at the beat and that
none showed up during the progress of the
fire. Mr.. George Clarke, superintendent
of the Towboat and Lighterage Company,
was called by fireman sent to his house
by the superintendent, and opened up the
boat, thus saving the firemen form doing
further damage in effecting an entrance.
The Regis was covered by insurance with
Mr.. w J.. Wilson in one of the marine in
surance companies.
The owners Of the Regis, Messrs Smith
& Kelly said that a Waterman was on
board and requested the Morning News to
so announce.

IA. G. NORTON ACQUITTED.
Bryan County Jury Was Out Only
Five Minutes.

The attorneys and others who were IN
terested in the Norton murder trial in
Bryan county returned to the city yes
terday. The trial resulted in the acquit-
tai Of Mr.. Robert G. Norton.
The case had been pending nearly ten
years. In the fall of 1890 Mr.. r. G. Nor
ton, who was then farming In Efingharn
county, killed the two Byrd brothers.
William and John The killing occurred
in Mr.. Norton's yard and was the result
of quarrel over a mule swap. Mr..
Norton had swapped mule to the Byrds.
They left with the animal, but returned
later very much dissatisfied with their
trade and demanded a new deal. There
were hot words and a resort to weapons,
in which Mr.. Norton killed both of the
Byrds with a shotgun.
An account Of the killing appeared in
the Morning News the next day. A young
man then living in Savannah passed the
late DR.. r. G. Norton on the street early
the next morning. Doctor. see your
son killed two Byrds," remarked the
young man. Eyes, he is a good shot"
replied the doctor He had not read the
account in the Morning News and knew
nothing of the killing.
The Byrds were members of a well
known family in bingham county. and
the killing caused much excitement.
When the case was tried at an ensuing
term Of the court, the result was a ver-
dict of involuntary manslaughter. The
case was taken to the Supreme Court
and a new trial secured. On the second
trial the jury failed to agree. At the
last March term IL was found impossible
to get an impartial jury in Effingham
county on account of the large family
connection of the Byrds and the two pre-
vious trials. Judge Seabrooke according
ly granted change of venue to Bryan
county, and the trial was begun al Clyde
Monday.
Mr.. Norton was defended by Mr.. S. B.
Adams and Mr.. II. E. Wilson, while the
prosecution was conducted by Solicitor
General keenan,, assisted by Judge Will
Hams. The trial concluded Tuesday af-
ternoon, when the jury returned a verdict
of acquittal, after having been out about
five minutes. Mr.. Norton lis now in bust
ness in Savannah and has a number of
friends here, as we'll as several relatives

with popular Photography.
For awhile these meetings will be open
to those outside of the club who are in
terested in amateur photography and the
members invite their friends TO be present.
The discussions are from until 10 o. clock

woMAN's EXCHANGE WORK.
Discussed by the Members at Their
May Meeting.

The monthly meeting OF the Woman's
Exchange was held yesterday afternoon in
one of the company rooms of the GuardJ'
Armory. The attendance was coed and
the ladies present seemed as enthusiastic
as heretofore about the work they have
undertaken.
Among the subjects discussed that of the
greatest interest was the advisability of
keeping the exchange open during the
summer months, a large majority berg n
favor of this plan. Those In the miro itv
urge the difficulty of persuading the con-
signors to place their wares there during
the off-season, but as IL has been demon
strated that the demand for cakes, ices,
ETC., largely exceeds the supply 1t woul
seem reasonable to conclude that the risk
to the consguors will be small
In any event the finances of the ex-
change will permit of any decision that
the ladies deem best to make The ques-
ton will be finally settled OF the next m y l.
ing, which will be held the first Tuesd .
in June Meanwhile customers are warmly
welcomed and find IL pleasant place in
which 10 meet their friends and enjoy tho

They Would Not Dssband.

They Would Not Dasband.
A meeting of the Ladies' Aid Society of
the Second Georgia Regiment was held
yesterday afternoon at o'clock in Lau-
rel Grove Cemetery. number of the
ladies' gathered about the memorial that
had been erected through their efforts to
the soldiers of the command who died in
service while their regiment was a part
of the army raised by the United States
during the war with Spain.
II had been the intention Of the ladies'
TO make the meeting the last, but il was
recalled by one that Col. William Gar.
rard. while commander of the Savannah
Volunteer Guards, had requested them
to maintain their organization in order
that they might assist that command at
any time when the help of ladies might
be of beaeit. After considering the mat
ter 1t was decided to act upon the sug-
gestion offered by this lady, and. thera-
fore, contrary 20 the original intention,
the society was not d.sbanded, but will
continue its existence, with Mrs. T. M.
Cunningham as president
Several had their first view of the stone
block, suitably inscribed, with recumbert
cross, that testiies to the appreciation
of the noble women of the soldiers sacrl-
flee for their country A resolution was
passed to have photographs of the me-
mortal made, a copy to be sent to the
family Of each soldier whose name APP
pears upor the block. Appropriate reso-
buttons drawn by Mrs. T. S. Morgan will
accompany the photographs.
