GREEN GROCERS MEET.
Discuss the Inv and Order League
and Organize.

Tho green grocers Of the city met yes
terGay afternoon in the hall of Nelson
Morris Il Co.. and organized an associa-
ton for their mutual protection and ben
eft. Mr.. ]. f. May was elected CHAIR
man, Mr.. ]. Robert Dreamer. secretary.
and Mr.. j. T. Fleming, treasurer. An
other meeting will be held Tuesday af-
ternoon, which, it is expected will be
attended by the greater part of the green
grocers OF the city.
Said Mr.. May yesterday afternoon rel
alive to the organization, 1T was organ
lied for protection to our businesses, and
for other purposes, and though it is not
directly the outgrowth of the movement
of the Law and Order League to close
up our stores on Sunday. yet that ques-
ton was discussed yesterday at the meet
ing" Continuing, he said, II voice tho
sentiment of our organization when l say
that we are cheerfully willing to conform
to the city ordinances governing the
opening and closing of our stores. aud
that If convinced that the demands of the
Law and Order League that we do not
open at ALL are the wishes of the great
body of Savannah's citizens, we will &C.
cede cheerfully TO that demand also, but
we do not think that We
should be expected to comply
with the demand of an organization of
which we do not know even the officers.
much less the rank and file. Neither do
VIC know the class of citizens that arc
in the movement. nor how great is the
sentiment against our keeping open on
Sundays during the hours prescribed by
the city ordinances. Before we make any
change in our businesses we want to
know who compose the Law and Order
League, and what its plans are"
Another matter that was taken up by
the green grocers is the carrying on of
business by persons who are operating
under the permission given to Confeder-
ate soldiers to conduct business without
paying for a license. The grocers think
that in many cases this permission is
abused, and they intend to investigate
the matter.

The Macon. (AIo.) Republican of Feb
S, gives the following report OF music
recital given by Miss Rosario Beckett.
daughter of Isaac Beckett, Esq, of Sa-
vannah: One of the most pleasant az
fairs occurring in Macon society recently
was the muslca,e given by Miss Rosalic
Beckett in Goetze's Hall Wednesday even
ing, assisted by several of Macon's talent
ed musicians. Miss Beckett is one OF
the most consumate artists with the piano
that has been in Macon recently. Her
technique is perfect and her playing gives
superlative pleasure. 1t is not often ono
hears the difficult composition, Spin
ming Song from List, so truly inter-
preted as it was by Miss Beckett After
a repeated applause she responded with
one of Chaminade's compositions. The
applause of the audience when Prof.
Goethe made his appearance, shows the
admiration in which he is held by the
music-.overs of Macon. After a faultless
and most pleasing overture from the
opera, Martha" he was given a hearty
encore to which he, after several minutes
hesitation, which served to increase the
app.ause. gracefully responded. Miss
Patton and Mr.. Barbour are both too we'll
known to need comments at this time,
but both seemed to surpass former tri-
umphs as artists with the VIOLIN The
tones evoked in their duet were extremely
sweet and played with an impetuosity
and glow of temperament that comes only
to those who have triumphed in such
masterpieces in former days. Miss Mar
Tin captivated her audience with q pleas
ing selection from Hol,eander. The vocal
musicians were Misses Blanche Moan
and Leah Wright, who won high praise
in duet, and a solo, % Salutaris,' by
Miss Nolan. The musicale was nice7y ar
ranged throughout the entire programme.
and Miss Beckett has the congra tuIa lions
and appreciation of many in being in
strumental in giving such delightful
musical treat

PASTY FOOD.
Too Commonly Used.

The use of pasty cereals is not advis-
able. A physician says, "Pasty cereals
are very indigestible and a bad thing
for the stomach, causing a depressed
feeling and quite a train of disorders,
particularly of the intestines and
nerves.
Cereals, such as wheat and oats. can
be cooked long enough and well enough
to 1T them for human use, but the or
binary way of cooking leaves them in a
pasty condition"

cation to the Postum Cereal Co, Ltd,

lief came exhaustion followed.
on the Presidents body will be held to
determine the exact cause of death.
This is the wish of all the surgeons and
physicians who were in attendance.
The peculiar action of the Presidents
heart was more or less of puzzle to
them ALL and DR.. McBurney expressed
the opinion that to the interest of sci
ence, as well as in the interest of the
government, and the world, it was de-
sirable that the exact cause of death
be determined.
Trouble From Beginning.
The Presidents heart gave trouble
from the beginning, but it's cratic &C
ton was at first thought to be due to
the shock of the wound, but when the
wound had begun to progress faVora-
bly,, the heart gave more trouble and
anxiety than ever. Its action became
feeble and gave out altogether.
The Presidents death was due to
heart exhaustion, but some of the ply
sicians do not believe there was organic
heart trouble. The theory of at least
one of the physicians is that the orig
inal shock of the first bullet over the
heart had much to do with the trou-
BILE which caused death.

NO EVIDENCE Of A PLOT.
Cleveland Police Can Discern No
Evidence of One There.

VI OhC
Cleveland. Sept. 13.-Detective Par
ker, of this city, and Detective
O'Laughlin of Buffalo, have secured
five affidavits from persons who at
tended the meetings held by Emma
Goldman here. They are to the effect
that her utterances were of anarchis-,
tic and infiammatory nature. The affi-
davits will be used as a basis in Sc
curing extradition papers for her re-
moval to Buffalo.
Popular Indignation has caused the
landlord who owns the house in which
Czolgosz family live, to order them
out. 1t is thought the family will
leave their farm.
The police have failed absolutely to,
in any way. connect Czolgosz move
ments with those of Emma Goldman.
His family deny that he had any of
her literature in his possession, and no
one could be found who had ever seen
him at any of her meetings.
Il am still of the opinion that there
is no anarchistic society, and that no
anarchistic plot to kill the President
was formulated in this city," said
Chief Corners to-day.

Buffalo, Sept. 13.-The credit for the
arrest of President McKinley's assas-
sin and for his rescue from the crowd
is claimed by Capt. John P. Wiser
of the Artillery Corps, for his men.
whose names he gives in his report of
the shooting to the adjutant general
of the United States army at Wash
ington. The report says:
when the shots were fired Private
O'Brien was the first man on the as
sassin, with Private Neff the next.
Corpl. Bertschey and Private Brooks
reached him at about the same time,
Private Brooks colliding with Mr.. Mil
burn in his effort to get at the assas-
sin.
Private O'Brien got the assassin
down, Private Neff jumped on him be-
fore the assassin was down, and held
his arm, while Private O'Brien wrench
ed away the revolver as he was fall
ing. Corpl. Bertschey then jumped on
the assassin, kneeling on his chest and
neck, and said:
II claim this man as my prisoner"
The report adds that the secret SER
vice men came on the scene and graz
bed Corporal Bertschey, sweeping away
the corporals detail, and tried to take
the assassin's pistol from Private
OBrien, who frustrated their attempt.
The secret service men took the
prisoner to the music temple. One of
them hit the assassin in the face. Then
they took him to a room to the left of
the stage in the music temple
-Four of the secret service men con-
tinued in their effort to take the pistol
from O'Brien who finally handed it TO
his corporal. The secret service men
failed in their attempt to take the wea-
pom from the corporal, who put it in
his pocket"

LYNCH THE ANARCHiSTSw
That Is the Cry of the Angry Crowd
in Chicago.

That Is the Cry of the Angry Crowd
in Chicago.
Chicago, Sept. 13.-Chicago was
quiet all the evening. Around the bull
letin boards in different parts of the
city large crowds gathered to get the
latest news of the Presidents condi-
ton.
There were many expressions of deep
feeling against the murderer, and not
few were leveled at the anarchists
confined in the county Jail here, and
toward Miss Goldman, who is held in
the annex of the Harrison police sta
ton. There were no speeches, but the
crowds, particularly in the down town
districts, were in a dangerous temper,
and had any of the anarchists, man
or woman. been turned loose, a killing
would have followed as soon as they
could manage 1t.
Three men, one Of them the son OF
prominent hotel keeper, visited the Of
hces of the papers during the early
part OF the evening, with a call writ
ten out and signed by all three, asking
that If there were definite news of the
death of President Mckinley by 10
o'clock tomorrow morning, they want
ed 10000 men to meet them in front OF
the county Jail and take steps to lynch
the anarchists confined in the build
ing. Their call met with little re-
Spouse, although the general feeling
was with them. There were no crowds
around the Jail or around the Harrison
Street Police Station, and no indica-
tons of any.
At the same time the police recog-
nized the possibility of trouble when
authentic news should be received of
the Presidents death and announced
themselves ready and able to protect
their prisoners If any attack should be
made against them.

sheriffs precautions are wise. 1t has
been a long time since / have seen
Chicago crowd as angry as this one"
The prisoners brought into court
were Abraham Isaak, Abraham Isaak.
Jr, Clemens Pfeuztner, Hippolyte Ha-
vel, Henry Travaglio, Michael ROE,
Martin Rosnick and Morris j. Fox.
Emma Goldman was not present, but
Justice Prindiville had promised to fol-
low whatever decision was made by
Judge Chetlain.
Leopold Saltiel. representing the pris-
oners, opened the argument, asking for
the release of his clients on the grounds
that they were being held without a
shadow of legal reason. Attorney Sal
tiel claimed. in an excited voice, that
all the papers in the case were IN
sufficient, and were issued under false
pretense.
Judge Chetlain interrupted to say 1t
appeared to him that the case was stu
a matter for Justice Prindiville TO set
tie The case, he said, was still pend
ing before the magistrate, who had
agreed to hear 1t Sept. 10. Mr.. Saltell
thereupon launched into a lengthy dis
course, to show that the upper court
had jurisdiction. Not scintilla or ev-
idence he said. had been produced TO
show that the prisoners were guilty OF
"conspiring to murder the President
as charged in the complaint.
John +. Geeting, assistant counsel
for the prisoners, followed Mr.. Saltiel.
When Lawyer Geeting ceased speaking,
Mr.. Taylor. for the city, arose and SAID
the only Question before the court was
the adequate jurisdiction of the justice
court, that is, the jurisdiction of Mag
iet 70 Dtf, HE argument was
technical, tending to uphold the author
ity of the lower court. and the legality
of the official acts of Prindiville.
Every Head Was Grained.
Every neck was craned when Mr..
Taylor began to speak, and interest
was intense when the lawyer said:
'If the hypothesis of the police is cor
rect, and we believe 1t is, the assault
on the President was the result of a
conspiracy embracing three states-llli-
nois, Ohio and New York-and includ-
ing men whose names are not even
known to the public"
Every ear was turned in expectation
of details, but none was forthcoming.
Instead. he faced the spectators and ex-
tolled the President.
He grew enthusiastic. and asked
what mattered a few technical viola
lions of the law, the inconvenience Of
a few human atoms Indicating the
prisoners) when that great life" was
in the balance at Buffalo.
Mr.. Geeting here objected to the
trend of the opposing counsels re-
marks and Mr.. Taylor returned to his
argument:
II will say, however" he said, that
the police here have received a tele-
gram from Buffalo In which Chief Bull
states that he has sufficient evidence
to secure extradition papers for the
anarchists under arrest here
Then let us have that evidence, let
US have some evidence. something
which will even remotely resemble evil
dence against these people," shouted
Mr.. Geeting.
