CITY WILL BE LENIENT.
No Disposition to Press Back Tax
Question on Corporations.


The back tax question seems TO be caus-
ing very little trouble in Savannah. AL
though the decision of the Supreme Court
was made on case taken up from Sa-
vannah, that of the city against the Geor-
gia State Building and Loan Company,
there has been no disposition to press the
various corporations affected thereby. The
general view seems 10 be that a running
corporation, paying taxes regularly every
wear. is of more value to the city than a
corporation which has been crippled or
put out of business altogether by an I'M
expected demand for back taxes from
which the corporation had good reason TO
suppose itself to be exempt
Mayor Myers attention was called yes
terday to the statement credited to Mayor
Woodward of Atlanta, in which the latter
announced that the policy of the city
would be to compromise with the corpora
tons on the most reasonable terms the
policy Of taking advantage of the Supreme
Courts decision to Cypress the corpora
lions being considered unwise. Mayor
Myers approved of this policy, and said
that practically the same line would be
followed by the city of Savannah in the
matter The city tax assessments for the
year have already been made up he said,
and the question of back taxes may not be
gone into for the present. At any rate,
the city will await the action of the coun-
ty authorities, who are now acting upon
instructions received from the controller
general. There are only a comparatively
small number of institutions in savannah
affected by the back tax decision.

their business to considerable extent,
are compelled to secure larger quarters in
to continue to render the same high
standard of service to their customers, as
they have in the past. In order to meet
these demands, they have just leased the
store next to the large establishment they
nave been occupying. and this, together
with their present building. will be the
new home of this successful firm. The

WAS GOING TO BATTERY f.


Capt. Louis Ostheim of the United
States army, who accidentally shot him
self in a Chicago hotel late Sunday night,
was TO have come to Savannah, or rather
to Fort Screven. on Tybee Island, where
Battery f of the First Artillery, to which
he had been assigned as captain, is sta
toned
It is understood that First Lieutenant
Samuel D. Sturgis of the Sixth Artillery
is next on the list and will be promoted
to the captaincy left vacant by the death
of Capt Ostheim. He will probably ar
rive after some days to take charge of
the battery. In the meantime, First Lieu
tenant Haiden, who has been in command
for some two years, will remain at the
head of the battery.
Capt. c. f. Gillette was az West Point
with Capt Ostheim and recalls him dis
tinctly. Capt Ostheim was a Hebrew
and entered the Military Academy from
PENNSYLVANIA Sept l, 1878, being gradu-
ated in 1888 He went to the Third Ar
tillery as second lieutenant and in May,
1891. was made first Lieutenant in the Sec
ond Artillery. In 1898 he was transferred
to the Sixth Artillery and last October
got his captaincy.
Battery F has not been under command
of a captain since Capt now Maid J.
NJ. x. Davis, who is now an inspector
general left, Capt Davis was with the
battery when it arrived at Fort Screven,
early in 1898.

The outer door to the Office building was
massive affair that swung either way,
says London Tit-Bits.
The man who entered was in a hurry,
but he CONSIDERABLY looked behind him to
see that he did not let it swing in the
face of any one who might be following.
The woman who was following seemed
10 be paying no attention to the door, so
the man held it open for her to enter.
The thought that occurred to the woman
just as she got in the doorway appeared
TO make her doubtful as to whether she
wished to go in or out.
The man still held the door open.
The woman said: II wonder If have
the paper that he told me to bring to this
office" and began to search through the
little bag that she carried in her hand.
The man said-well never mind what
the man said. He still kept the door open
in order to prevent it sweeping the wo-
man into the street.
The woman found the paper she was
after and looked across the street, as il
uncertain whether she had the right ad-
dress.
The man said: Pardon me, madam, but
I am in hurry"
The woman said: "Sirr'
The man said: Il cannot remain here and
hold this door any longer"
The woman said: Sir, you are the most
insulting man 1 ever met"
The man said things softly to himself,
the woman entered, and the door swung
back with great force.
The woman looked scornfully at the
man and said something about telling her
husband how she had been insulted
Inc man made no reply, but later he
was heard saying to himself: "And yet
people claim that 1t pays to be polite"

MCKINLEY NOT INDoRsEn

The Republican organs are trying to
create the impression that the National
Committee of the Gold Democrats which
met at indianapolis last Wednesday. in
dorsed Mr.. Mckinley. The refusal of the
committee to cell convention to make a
Cold Democratic ticket is interpreted bv
them to mean that it is the intention of
Gold Democrats to vote the Republican
ticket. The action of the committee will
not bear any such Interpretation. The real
meaning of the committees action Is that
there was no support In sight for another
ticket The speech at the meeting of the
committee which attracted the most at
tention and which. apparently. had the
most influence, was that delivered by Mr..
HalGeman, proprietor of the Louisville
Courier-Journal. He said, very frankly,
that he had supported Palmer and Buck
ner in 1896. because he felt there was
danger TO the country in the demand for
the free and unlimited coinage of silver.
He intended, he said, TO support the reg
ular Democratic ticket this year because
he regarded the silver issue as practically
dead. He was satisfied that the COLO
standard was here TO stay. The thing he
feared now, he said. was imperialism.
Therefore he had made up his mind to
support Mr.. Bryan.
1t was this speech apparently which de-
cided the committee not to call a conven-
ton to name Gold Democratic ticket.
The members of the committee may be
just as strongly in favor of the gold
standard as they ever were but it is safe
to say that the most of them are satisfied
that the silver question will not cut much
of figure in the campaign. And this
probably is the position that is occupied
by majority of Gold Democrats. The in
terviews with Gold Democrats and letters
from them which are appearing in the
newspapers justify the conclusion that,
as rule. they intend to vote the Demo-
cratic ticket.
1t is noticeable that Democratic news
papers and campaign orators are very
generally dealing with the silver question
as being of but little Importance in the
campaign. If Mr.. Bryan confirms this
view in his speech when he is notified of
his nomination on Aug. 8. the number of
Gold Democrats who will vote for Mr..
Mckinley will not be large enough to af-
feet the result of the election in any
state.

DANFORTH's PREDICTION.

One Of the best-informed politicians 10
the state of New York is Elliot Danforth,
and ne Is as good a Democrat as he is a
politician. He made the statement in New
York city on Wednesday that Mr.. McKin-
ley and Mr.. Roosevelt would be two great
ly surprised men the day after the cleo
ton He says that the Gold Democrats of
New York are going to vote fer Mr.. Bryan,
and that the Germans are going to vote
for him. He believes that the Democrats
have an excellent chance of carrying the
state.
One thing is certain, and that is that the
Republicans are not as confident of carry
ing New York as they were. There are
dlssensions in their ranks. Mr.. Plat the
Republican boss, wants Mr.. OdelI nomi-
mated for Governor. There is a strong
faction of Republicans against MIR. OdelI,
simply because il is believed that he would
be the tool of Mr.. Plat. There is no
definite understanding as to who will be
the nominee.
The Republicans cannot afford TO make
mistake in the nominee for Governor.
They must have popular man and one
that is acceptable to all factions of their
party in order to carry the state. 1t is
beginning to be realized that Gov. Roose-
welt rs not as popular a man in his own
state as his supporters thought he was
He may be popular in the West, but he
cannot poll as many votes in New York
as he did when he ran for Governor two
years ago. Therefore, II an unsatisfac-
tory man should be named for Governor
the Democrats would stand an excellent
chance of carrying the state. Ii is be-
lieved by very shrewd politicians that II
former Senator HilIs advice had been
taken at Kansas City, and no mention had
been made of silver in the platform, there
would hardly be a doubt about MIR. Bryan
carrying the state of New York
But silver is not going to cut as big a
figure in the campaign as the Republi-
cans are hoping it will. The people do not
take the interest in the silver question
they did in 1896 and If they fail to take
an interest in it the Republicans will not
be able 10 make it the chief issue of the
campaign. The Republicans will be COM
PEELED to take the defensive on the imperial
istic issue. A party that is on the defen-
sive has a very poor chance for success

Found the House Deserted,

One winter Gen. Wheeler and his fam
lily lodged in a fashionable section of
Washington. says the New York Sun. but
after trial of it for a few days Mrs
Wheeler became dissatisfied. and one ev-
ening, when her husband returned from
Congress she said Father, I do not like
this place at ALL and really think we
had better move, if you don't object"
Certainly not, mother" returned the
ever-gallant general, lust please yourself
anything suits me-"
Nothing more was said on the subject
but couple of days later, on seeking the
society of his family after the official
duties of the day were over, the con-
gresham found che apartment deserted,
and, on inquiry. that his family had NOV
ed during the day No one knew where
they had gone. Mrs. Wheeler had merely
neglected to inform her husband that
they were TO move that day, and where
the new residence was. He went to vari-
Gus hotels, but didn't find them, so final
ly spent the night at one, and next day
his colleagues were highly diverted and
interested at the engaging candor with
which the great little man related how
he had lost his family, and asked their
advice as 10 where they supposed he
could find them. In the course of the
day one of the children came to the Capt.
toll to find out why father hadn't been
home the night before, and then the omis-
sion of letting him know the secret of
where they had moved was rectified, and
he went gayly to the new quarters, where,
with Mrs Wheeler, he had hearty laugh
over their temporary separation.

The Game of Golf.

A group of Republican politicians were
discussing the game of golf the other day
in the Fifth Avenue Hotel, says the New
York Mail and Express, and the following
story was told about ex-Gov Frank s.
Black and Lieut.. Gov. Timothy L. Wood
ruff
After the Legisla ture adjourned in the
Woodruff. Senators Higginson and Els
worth and several high state officials
took a trip together up to Canada. On
the train Mr. Woodruff, who is an en-
thusiastic golfer, expauated continually
upon the delights of che game, until Gov.
Black appeared to be a trife bored.
Why said the enthusiastic Mr.. Wood

it, man, woman or child. One can play

kind of weather. and you can take your
time at it, and play it easily, or you
can play it hard Yes, it's a great
game"
Gov. Black, when he had heard this
speech of praise, meditated a minute and
then said to the Lieutenant Governor:
There is only one thing you neglected
to say about golf.'
Whats that?" inquired Mr.. Woodruff.
while the other members of the party
leaned forward to hear.
