AT DEL's IN SHIRT SLEEVES.
So a Rocky Claimed When He Was
Called Down Mt Hicks

Another recruit for the army was re-
ceived al the office yesterday, and off he
marched to Hicks restaurant to break his
fast. When man presents himself and
passes the examination, he is entitled to
be FED by the government. An arrange
ment has been made with the restaurant,
and all the rockies board there for a few
days before they are shipped of to their
commands.
This was a coatless recruit He said he
belonged to the shirt-sleeves brigade.
That's what he told the Young lady cash
Ter when she remarked upon the fact that
he had presented himself without a coat.
The mans ideas seemed to be running
on military, and belonging to a brigade
impressed him as al right. But the brig
ade, as it was fashionahy constituted for
the very few days of It's real existence,
would have looked askance upon such
recruit for its ranks, for there was no
natty shirt, smoothly fitting trousers and
tightly buckled belt.
You can't eat here without your coat"
said the cashier.
Il haven't any coat" replied the recruit.
Then, you had better borrow one. Go
ask the corporal to lend you one"
Il don't see why I can't eat here In my
shirt sleeves. used to up North all the
time"
In some cheap place, maybe"
mo, ma'am, at Delmonicos," was the
rejoinder. but the Weary-Wllie look he
wore had no suggestion OF DePs. But
look here" the rocky went on, I'm hun
gry What are you going to do about it?"
Then the cashier relented She called a
waiter and told him to make two sand
witches. When these were brought in they
were handed to the recruit, who had stood
waiting at the counter He went away
with them in his hand, seemingly not in
the least disconnected by his experience.
This is the second time the thing has
happened at Hicks. First 1t was an army
surgeon at Fort Screven. Enlisted men
certainly cannot complain that favoritism
Is shown officers at the restaurant.

TEMPORARY ALIMoNY ALLOWED
Judge FalIiEant Passed Three Or
ders to Dissatisfied Couples.

A consent order was granted by Judge
Falllgant in the Superior Court yester-
day in the suit for temporary and per-
manent alimony, instituted by Mrs. Su-
sic Whitehurst against her husband, Le-
roy w. Whitehurst.
The order provides that the husband
shall pay to his wife. for the support of
herself and children, the sum of $50
monthly, and that he shall pay the fur
the costs of court. The restraining order
previously granted, prohibiting the de-
PENDANT from alternating or incumbering
any of the property which the plaintiff
claims to own in common with him, was
continued in force.
A second order by consent was that
granted in the divorce and alimony case
of Ira Estelle McKewen egains- John
McKewen. The plaintiff appeared In
court accompanied by three or four gor-
geously accoutered members of the music
hall brigade of the dramatic profession,
in Savannah, who it appears, were wit
nesses for her husband and friends and
companions OF her own.
There was some disappointment exhibit
ed among the court spectators and
loungers when the attorneys for plaintiff
ana defendant succeeded IN drawing up
an order for the signature of Judge Falli-
CANT that was mutually satisfactory. The
opinion was prevalent that the testimony
upon the hearing for temporary alimony
would be interesting and spicy, and the
court habitues were aggrieved when they
found it was not to be delivered in their
presence.
The plaintiff has entered suit for divorce
upon the ground of cruelty. She charges
that her husband cursed abused, vilfied
ard insulted her and on several occasions
subjected her to personal violence. He
accused her of criminal intimacy with
other men, ii is alleged in her declaration
all of which charges were false and de-
struotive of her happiness and peace of
mind.
The consent order that was reached in
the case before the hearing on the ques-
ton Of temporary alimony was begun,
provides that the application shall be de-
MED. Mr.. w. II. Boyd, counsel for the
plaintiff, is to receive the sum of $40 on
account of his fee.
The third application for temporary ALL
mony was in the case of Susan Davis
against Sam Davis. The wife charged
that she and her two little children, one
of whom is but eleven months old, had
been wautonly and cruelty deserted by the
husband and father, without any provo
cation given on her part and without any
circumstances of mitigation or excuse.
Judge Falligants order directs that the
defendant shall pay to the plaintiff the
sum of SO per month as temporary ALI
mony. S25 as attorneys fees and the costs
Of court.

ARE MANY DEAD WIRES.
Supt. Mcguire Says Something
Should BE Done About Them.

Should BE Done About Them.
From the number of dead" wires In the
streets attention has been called to the
overhead electric wiring in the city in or
der that dead" wires may be removed
The Introduction of the underground cleo
trio system in the business section of the
city for some of the wires has relieved the
streets of the great network that former
ly might be viewed overhead, but there
yet remains enough wires to make 1t dan
gerOus for the unused ones TO be allowed
to swing idly and unnOted.
A careful inspection from almost any
tall building will be rewarded by the dis
covery of one 6r more wires that, appar-
entity are not used at all, They have been
cut off from the connection they formerly
afforded, and remain only a a menace to
lives or property. A dangling end of wire,
should il come in contact with another
heavily charged, would be a dangerous
proposition for a wayfarer-to meet.
Supt. Mcguire of the fire department was
asked yesterday if the overhead wires of
the city come within his jurisdiction. He
replied that they do not. His authority
extends only to interior wiring. Some
time ago he was made an inspector of
the electric appliances and wiring in build
ings, in addition TO his duties as superin-
tendent, but the outside wires fall to the
lot of some other department Of the city
administration for regulation.
The fire department. Superintendent Ma
guire said, Will willingly lend my assist
ance to cut away useless wires. He feels
that he should do anything 10 decrea Sc
the possibility of property loss by fire.
The dead wires about the city are a
menace, and should be removed. He said
there are many such wires, and that
something should be done to remove them.

EVICTED FROM A SLEEPER,
Mrs. j. ID. Miller Wants $4,000 DAM
ages From the Central

Mrs. ]. d. Miller of Mcintosh, Fla, is
the plaintiff in a suit for damages for
personal injuries filed against the Central
Of Georgia Railway Company in the
United States Circuit Court yesterday.
Mrs. Miller asks for $1,000 damages for
personal injuries, received by her while
she was being evicted from a car of
the company, on the night of June 30.
1893, for the humiliation and indgnity to
which she was subjected by the conduc-
tor and porter of the train, and as a pun
ishment TO the company for the manner
in which she was created and deterrent
against it permitting the same offense to
be committed again.
The plaintiff boarded the sleeping ear
attached to the company's train at At
lanta, having been told that she would
save a portion of her berth fare by adopt
ing this course, without first purchasing
a ticket. that she could not save had she
purchased a ticket from the city office
of the company.
When she explained this to the con.
ductor he told her there was no berth
for her, and that she would have to
leave the sleeper She did so, the re-
moval being superintendent by the col
OTeO porter, VINO LOOK occasion, 1t is
charged, to become exceedingly offensive
both in manner and in what he said He
swore roundly several times, it is charg-
ed, in the presence of the plaintiff and
of her little girl by whom she was ac-
companied
Mrs. Miller was forced off the sleep
ing car at a point between Atlanta and
Griffin, in the dark and without any
thing being placed for the purpose of per-
hitting her to alight in safety AS she
descended from the steps she fell and in
jured her hips, spine and ankle, receiv-
ing injuries from which she suffered
great pain and that continued 10 cause
her pain for three or four weeks. She
was placed In a sleeping car, not in
tended for women nor occupied by others
of her sex. She claims that though she
complained to the conductor of the man
ner I'm which she was treated by che por-
ter, the conductor did nothing and was
himself exceedingly gruff rude and dis
courteous.

Read This Carefully, Then

hIr. Ben Foster bought a home on the
instalment plan in 1879. paying SIS per
month and interest; at the same time he
took an endowment policy of life insur-
ance for 50, 900 in an old line company. He
felt that IN event OF his death before he
had finished paying for the house. his fam
lily would not have to sacrifice IL. In the
same year his friend, Sam Dean, moved
into a house across the street, paying $50
month rent. He laughed at Foster for
buying property, saying it was cheaper
to rent! Dean also insured his life for
5000, but claimed that he could invest
his money better than any one else, so he
took the cheapest assessment insurance he
could find. He rented his home and rent
ed his insurance, each by the month and
at actual cost, and 'had his moneys
WORTH" so he said, as he went along.
Foster and Dean are now over 90 years
of age, and in talking over old times, said
Foster: Il have just had an offer of $1,000
for my house; I don't like to sell it; it has
been my home for twenty years" NO"
replied Dean, don't do it. We are get
ting old and house is a pretty good place
to go to. 1 wish I had done as you did
Here have paid out in rent during all
these years nearly as much as you are
olAClSu IOI your MUSE, ana nave nothing
to show for it." Yes" said Foster, land
1 paid the last premium on my policy last
year and now ii is worth $4,000 in cash"
That is where I have made another mis-
take" answered Dean. MY insurance is
costing me four times what it did at
hrst, although the agent said the rate
would never increase. 1 would drop it
now If 1 could get into a good old line
company, but since I had the grippe,
cannot pass the examination. If 1 had
only looked at the end instead of the be-
ginning 1 would be better off to-day"

WERE KNOWN IN SAVANNAH.
Reports of the New Orleans Trouble
Showed Familiar Names.

Many Savannahians noted with interest
that the citizen police of New Orleans were
commanded by Col. Elmer E. Wood. who
is recalled as colonel of the Second Louisi-
ana Regiment. Col. Wood directed the
efforts of the organized citizens in their
efforts TO repress the rioting growing from
the murders, committed by the negro des-
perado, and was at hand to aid in his cap
ture or killing.
1t is said, too. that Adolph Anderson,
the militiaman whose bullet, it is said,
killed the negro Charles, was a member
of the Second Louisiana. If such is the
case, two who took very prominent parts
in the New Orleans tragedy are known
in Savannah, as the regiment was en-
camped here for several months.
