A Lake of Salt.

Lake LEROY, in western Australia, is
lake only during the rainy season.
At other times of the year the water en-
tirely evaporates and leaves a solid floor
of crystalline salt. This floor is almost
smooth and residents along the shores
of the lake have adopted an ingenious
method of getting over its surface.
The sailing vessels which are used in
the ordinary way while the water lasts
are fitted out with set of four small
wheels, the sails being till used for
propulsion. AS the surface of the lake
covers an area of over 100 square miles
the novel boats have considera BILE
range of travel. They are used to trans
port freight as well as passengers, and
are great saving in expense over any
other means of nsportation.-Chi-
cago Tribune.

What the Vanderbilt and the Bradley

OF social splendor, SO were the Rush
balls in the early fifties. In the dining
room Of her Philadelphia mansion ESQ
guests would sit down at a time on cush-
toned seats of blue damask, the tables
shining with rare china and solid gold
plate, while rows Of servants, wearing
blue ribbons, kept guard at the doors
The Skill of the cleverest caterers in the
country was taxed to provide novelties
for the table. Nothing pleased the
hostess on one of these occasions more
that the surprise Of her guests at be-
holding peacocks that had been care
fully roasted with . their magnificent
plumaSe. The coloted lamps in the gar
den and the gentle glow of 5000 wax
candles in the ballroom shed light upon
the scene. But so young men with the

human system when the kidneys become
clogged? They are unable to throw
out the impurities from the blood, and
become infected with poisons; they de-
cay, fall apart. and pass out In the urine;
the blood unhltered carries the poison all
through the system and if not checked
death follows. The kidneys are the sewers
of the human system.
When your kidneys are not doing their

listioally the many phases of music and

AAS secs IL Oreat FUtUrc tOr 1t ana
Talks Expansion.
Savannah had a visitor yesterday in the
person of Mr.. John NJ. Davies, attorney
general of Oneida county, New York and
delegate to the next Republican National
Convention.
Mr.. Davies, with a friend, a member of
the New York Legislature, has been MAX
ing pleasure trip through the South, this
being the first time he has been south of
Richmond. lie was most enthusiastic in
his praise of the country its present pros
perity and what he considers its favorab BILE
outlook for a largely increased CONNER
cial and manufacturing interests.
Speaking Of the cotton mills and their
product led MIR. Davies into the discussion
of markets for mill products, and this
brought up the question of expansion or
anti-expansion, and the view that IS taken
of the matter in the South. Mr.. Davies
holds firmly to expansion as the legid-
mate and allotted destiny of this country.
No part of the country, he said, would
profit more by this policy than would the
South, which, with its growing manufac-
turing interests, would thus be able to
find large and ready market for her pro-
duets. He declared that even in the short
trip he had made through this part Of the
South he mad found a well developed sem
timent in favor of expansion, and that he
had no doubt that IL would materially in
crease as soon as the manufacturers be-
gan to consider the question closely
AS a delegate to the National Republi-
can Convention of course Mr.. Davies is
posted on the sentiment of his state as
to possible candidates. To Mckinley he
comedies the nomination for President
but could make no prediction as to who
viii secure the second place on the ticket.
Roosevelt, he says, could have it, but
doesn't want it, nor do his friends want
him to accept IT. IT is pretty well con
ceded, said Mr.. Davies that '"Teddy" viii
be the candidate for President in 1904 and
he doesn't want to spoil his chances by
accepting the other place on the present
ticket.
Mr.. Davies was greatly pleased with
Savannah and regretted that pressing
business at home prevented him from
making a longer stay.

URGED MODERN METHODS.
President Witham Talked to Sunday
SchnnI WOrIxers

President Witham Talked to Sunday
school Workers.
Mr. w. S. Witham addressed a fair
sized audience at Wesley Monumental
Church last night, his subject being Sum
day school work. Mr.. William is presi-
dent of the State Sunday School Associa-
ton. and it is hard to say whether he is
best known throughout the state as a
banker, manufacturer or Sunday school
worker. He has high reputation on all
three lines, being president of twenty
seven banks, at the head of several cotton
mills and president OF the State Sunday
School Association.
Mr. Witham is an original character
and thoroughly unique and original in his
methods. Those who heard him last night
We're well entertained as we'll as instruct
ed He illustrated the difference between
the methods which formerly prevailed in
Sunday school work and the modern meth
DDS by the comparison of a slow and cum
bersome freight train with a modern, up
to-date vestibule train. He urged that
the Sunday schools of Savannah should
send delegates to attend the State Sunday
School Convention, which meets in Au-
gusta May q 3 and 4.
Mr.. Witham left last night for Millen,
where he is interested in a new cotton
mill.

FOUND FOR TnE PLAINTIFF.
But Jury Did Not Give Him All the
DAMAGES That He CIa5med.

But Jury Did Not Give Him All the
Damages Tint He Claimed.
The action of damages for breach of
contract, brought by L. c. Gugel against
the Georgia Car and Manufacturing Com
pany, was on trial in the City Court yes
terday morning and afternoon. After be-
ing out half an hour the jury brought in
q verdict for the plaintiff, fixing the dam
ages he had incurred at $3.50. He sued
for $1,000.
The plaintiffs petition recited that the
defendant had agreed TO purchase from
him and he to supply to it several hun
bred thousand feet of oak timber. For
the timber he was to be paid at the rate
of $21 per thousand feet delivered at sa-
vannah. He arranged to purchase it
from the mills az cost to him of about
ST per thousand feet Before he had
time and opportunity to carry out his
contract it was Cancelled by the defend
ant. He then brought suit for the profits
he would have made had the contract
been carried to completion.
Considerable evidence was introduced on
both sides, the contention of the defendant
being that it had only cancelled the con-
tract after it had become manifestly i'm
possible for Mr.. Gugel to deliver the lum-
Der in accordance with the agreement. The
case was argued by Mr.. A. A. Lawrence
for the plaintiff and by Mr.. W. C. Har-
fridge for the defendant
Judge Norwood's charge to the jury was
virtually to the effect that some damages
ought certainly to be recovered by the
plaintiff, although damages might be only
nominal. After thirty minutes considera-
ton the jury brought in a verdict for $3.50,
about one-ffth of the amount ella med.
