Australian. Dislike Bachelor Governor.

Lord Beauchamp's failure as COVER
nor Of New South Wales is declared to
have been due mainly to the fact that
he was unmarried. Australians do not
like bachelor governors, and have in
the past so emphatically manifested
this dislike that candidates for the DO
sition have been known to qualify by
getting married in a hurry. The So
ciety women of the colony want more
"doings" at the capital than are easily
obtainable with a bachelor executive;
hence Lord Beauchamp's fizzle.

Chicks should eve be permitted to

writer has had this fact forced on his
attention more than once In the rails

tinuously to maturity. On the other
hand he has seen the same kind OF
food fed to chicks that had reached
six weeks of age without 1t and has

There are two kinds of fowls that
lay well in the winter-the ones that
are scientifically handled by men that
make a business Of poultry raising
and the hens on farms where there Is
during the summer a large supply OF
some kind of meat food. In either
case the pullets are rapidly developed
during their first six months and are
ready to begin the dropping of eggs
In the autumn. We sometimes hear

supply is of course large. and b
chickens having the run OF the fields
and the exercise attendant on the
chasing of the game thrive according
ly. Where natural conditions are such
that only a grain ration Is accessible
to the poultry, the farmer must sup
ply the deficiency, for 1t has been fully

Sales of Lots To-day.

John l.. Archer win auction off some
choice property this afternoon on Henry

have brought good prices The sale Will

erty dies along Waldburg and Henry, east,
between Atlantic and Paulsen. The sale
will be largely attended by those who
aim to own their own homes, by paying
for them as they would pay rent.
The lots are we'll loca ted, and the prices
which they will doubtless bring, judging
from Tuesdays sale. will be very low.
Mr.. Archer claims that on Henry street
property is worth from $3.50 to s., 600 lot,
and has been bringing il. but is selling
now at auction for much less, while some
lots on Waldburg street in the same sec
ton, which have sold for $500. bring now
in these auction sales considerably less.
The desirable location together with the
low figures at which they will doubtless
go, make them valuable as an investment.
They will bring within a short time dou-
BILE the price paid for them.
Almost anybody can bid on them.
Whether they be home hunters in earnest,
or whether they are among those who
wish to anchor their earnings. They can
bid and from the large number OF lots
to be offered. they will be able to secure
about what they wish.
When purchasers can do no better he
will allow them to pay $25 cash and pay
S. a month on their home.
This is an opportunity long wished for
by men of moderate incomes-employes
who have a desire to own property. This
is intended to provide for them. The sale
will be a barge one, and will begin at

A FRAUD COME UP WITH.
Man Begging Money to Get His Boy
to Bethesda.

A number of people in the Southern
section and possibly elsewhere in the city
have recently been swindled by man
who has been soliciting aid to get his boy
to Bethesda Orphanage. His story was
that he had a permit for the boy to enter
the home, but had no money to pay his
fare out there.
Numbers of charitable people have con-
tributed dimes, quarters and halves and
some of them larger sums to help the
supposed unfortunate who is really moth
ing more than a fraud
The president of the Union Society, by
whom permits to enter the orphanage are
issued invariably provides means for the
boys to reach the home when the par
ents or relatives are unable to do so. The
fare to Bethesda is only ten cents and 1t
is seldom that the applicants for admis-
sion do not have the fare. The officers
of the Union Society warn people
against giving money or making other
contributions on account of Bethesda ex-
cept through some Of the officers or
stewards.
The party who has been collecting
dimes and quarters to pay his boys fare
to the orphanage has been doing it for
months, 1t seems, but the matter has just
come to the knowledge of the Society.

Beautiful Series Illustrates Com
handing Position of a Great Rail-
road.
One of the most striking illustrations
of the intimate relations existing be-
tween American railroads and all other
commercial interests. is set forth in the
"Pan-American Series of postage
stamps issued by the Postmaster General
May l, 1901.
This series also demonstrates the com
manding position of the New York Cen
trail and the fact that it is in touch with
and an integral part of the commerce of
the world.
The Pan-American series of postage
stamps consists of six beautiful steel en-
cravings printed in two colors, produc-
ing the effect of framed picture. Each
Of these stamps represents what is styled
an laid to commerce." and, curiously
enough, and without any design on the
part of those who planned the series,
each subject is associated with the New
York Central.
The stamps are as follows:
The one-cent stamp represents Fast
Lake Navigation"
Steamers of this character on each of
the great lakes of America run in connec-
ton with the trains of the New York
Central lines.
The two-cent stamp is a picture of the
New York CentraPs Empire State Elk
press" from a photograph by A p.
Yates of Syracuse, taken when the train
was running sixty-four miles an hour
very appropriate laid to commerce"
The four-cent stamp represents an au-
tomobile of the same style as those used
in the New York Central Cab Service at
Grand Central Station, New York.
The tive-cent stamp gives a beautiful
picture of the steel arch bridge over the
Niagara River at Niagara Falls.
On one side of the Niagara river from
Buffalo to Lake Ontario are the tracks
of the New York Central, on the other
side, those of the Michigan Central; the
latter which is a New York Central line,
crosses the Niagara river on the new
cantalever bridge just below the arch
bridge shown on the stamp and in plain
view of the falls.
The eight-cent stamp shows the locks
at Sault Ste. Marie
1t is through these locks that the New
York Central steamers pass on their trips
between Buffalo and Duluth.
The ten-cent stamp gives an illustra-
ton of a modern ocean steamship.
1t is with steamships of this character
on both the Atlantic and Pacific oceans
that the New York Central lines run in
connection, and over which the New
York Central tickets passengers to every
country on the globe,-From the Brook

PARTY. WILL BE SMALL.
Few Veterans Find They Can Make
Trip to Memphis.


1t looks as if the attendance from Sa-
vannah upon the reunion of the United
Confederate Veterans, at Memphis, is go
ing to be a good deal smaller than was
at first expected. A meeting of those
who will make the trip was held last
night and only twenty-five announced
themselves as certain to go.
OF these there are sixteen from the
Confederate Veterans Association, four
from McLaws Camp of Veterans and two
from Barlow Camp of Sons of Veterans.
1t is hoped and expected that there will
be others who will find later that 1t will
be possible for them TO make the trip and
who will go. This is an inconvenient sea-
son for many, and they have found it
difficult so to arrange their business af
fairs as to permit their attendance upon
the reunion. Had it not been for this fact
the attendance from Savannah would GER
tainly have been doubled and possibly
tripled.
Miss Catherine Mcintyre has been APP
pointed sponsor for the Confederate Vet
Grams Association and will accompany the
party to Memphis in this capacity Miss
Mcintyre represented the association in
this capacity at the Louis
vile reunion. where. even amid
that gathering of the fairest
daughters of the South. her grace and
beauty excited attention and admiral ion
The party for the reunion will leave
the city Monday morning and will make
the trip by way of Birmingham special
car having been provided for the accom-
mediation of its members.
