OVER THE UNION DEAD.
Memorial Exercises Were Held in
Laurel Grove Cemetery.

Memorial Exercises Were Held in
Laurel Grove Cemetery.
Grand Army of the Republic veterans,
members of Hancock Post. gathered yes
terday afternoon at o'clock in Laurel
Grove Cemetery, where the decoration ex-
ercises were held. The day was national
Decoration Day, and the government
buildings in the city were closed for it's
observance.
Post Commander William Pease con-
Quoted the exercises, which were held
over the grave of the late W. H. Stockett,
who died Dec. %, 1900. His was the last
death among the members of the post
and, according to the custom of holding
the exercises over the grave of the last
member TO die, his was selected. The
few of the members of the post who have
withstood the ravages of time gathered
about the grave to pay respect to the
memory Of their comrades.
Each grave of the Union soldiers in
Laurel Grove, Bonaventure and the Ca
thedral Cemetery was decorated with a
fog and flowers. In Laurel Grove there
are fourteen at rest. In Bonaventure
there are seven, while in the Cathedral
Cemetery there are five. All were once
members of the post, which formerly
numbered sixty-eight members. Death and
removals from the city, however, have left
bat fifteen members.

LITTLE GIRLS IN PRISON.
Soap Sellers Are Held on an Order
From Recorder Myrick

Soap Sellers Are Held on an Order
From Recorder Myrick.
Mamie Williams and Belle Jordan the
little white girls whose arrest on a
charge of vagrancy was reported in the
Morning News were given a hearing by
Recorder Myrick in Police Court yester-
day and were sent to Jail for twenty days.
The case was heard in private and a
most revolving condition of affairs was
brought out in the testimony. AS has al
ready been stated the Williams girl is
y years of age and Belle is but year
Older. According to the witnesses exam
ined by the Recorder both children have
fallen from grace.
The police had stated that the Jordan
girl was everything but what she should
be, but in their opinion Mamie had not
yet fallen. Evidence to the contrary was
heard by the Recorder. Both of the young
prisoners wept as did their mothers. The
parents knew that the children had been
selling soap on the street, but had no
idea, they said, of what was happening.
Mrs. Jordan was quite noisy in the court
room and she was only quoted after the
court threatened to rule her in contempt.
The children were not committed to
Jail, but are held in the police station.
An effort will be made to send them to
some reformatory, where they will be
properly looked after and trained. The
younger child has bright face and those
who have seen her feel that it is not yet
too late to make a good woman of her.
The girls continue to deny the charges
made against them, but accuse each other
of wrong doing.

BUILDING is LIVELY.
Fifty-Five Permits Were Issued Dur
i'm the Month of May.


i'm the Month of May.
Building is on a boom in Savannah.
That this is true is especially noticeable
when one takes trip through the south
ern section. Many houses are going up
along the more popular streets in that
some additions to their neighborhoods.
Principally upon the newly-paved streets
or near them are the new buildings to
be found, and this is taken as indicative
of the beneficial results that follow street
paving.
During May there were fifty-fve permits
for buildings issued from the office of
the Board of City Tax Assessors. The
buildings that may now be seen under
way, however, are being constructed I'M
der permits issued earlier. From this it
may be inferred that there will be no
cessation in building activity with the
completion of those now under. way, for
the permits issued during May will keep
the work lively.
Fifty-tive permits is a good record for
one month, considerably above the aver
age. 1t is true that many of the per-
mits were for repairs and for unimpor-
tant additions to houses, yet that is Of
ten found to be the case in the record for
any month. Contractors find the demand
for their services continues strong, and
it would seem that the summer is 10, sup
ply work for carpenters and builders
without intermission.
Among the PERMITS issued yesterday
was one to Mr.. G. w. Shultz, who will
erect two-story house on Thirty ninth
street, east.

to grant the former. The ordinance was
read before the City Council for the first

ONE STANDARD OF TIME.
Board of Trade to be Asked to Con-

slider the Matter.
Capt. D. G. Purse will ask the Board of
Trade this morning to take some action
relative to securing single standard of
time for Savannah. The present two sys-
tens of time, said Capt. Purse yesterday
are a source of perpetual Inconvenience
and annoyance to everybody. especially
the business men, and complaints are also
forthcoming from every stranger that
visits the city.
So manifest are the disadvantages of
the present arrangement that Capt. Purse
thinks the matter VIII be taken up i'm
mediately by the Board of Trade. which
probably will appoint a committee to con-
slider it.
As to which time ought to be adopted
the present city time, or 10Th meridian, or
the railroad, or Goth meridian, Capt. Purse
was unable to say, but thought it more
than possible that railroad time will be
favored because of the extensive bust
ness interests of the city.
