Lord Kitchener's laconic Way.

Lord Kitchener has laconic way with
rim. Not many weeks ago a company
ii newly arrived Yoemanry with COM
pany OF Colonials were detailed to cap
ture a Boer laagcr. A friendly Boer
volunteered to show the way and left
their, when within sight OF the fires OF
the Boer laager, to make the assault as
soon as dawn appeared. Dawn came
only to find the Britishers themselves
eur,ounded by Beers. There was one
cap in the Gordon, and for this gap the
Yoemanry made. their officer at their
head, leaving their Colonial comrades
with the guns to tackle the Beers as
best they could. In due course the Yoe-
ulanry came to General Clements camp,
and he wired to Lord Kitchener: Com
pany your Yoemanry turned up; what
shall | do with them?' The reply was
almost immediate: "Iteep them as far
from me as they kept from the Beers" "

WILL PAVE STEWART STREET.
A Visit Was Paid the street by city
officials Yesterday.

Mayor Myers, President w. W. Mac
kali of the Savannah Union Station
Company, Alderman Watson, chairman
of the Streets and Lanes Committee,
Director of Public Works George NJ.
Gadsden and City Engineer w. J. Winn
visited Stewart street yesterday to
make an inspection of it's condition.
The street is that upon which the Union
Station abuts on the north, and it will
need a pavement as soon as the sta
ton is used. In fact it needs one now.
The street will be paved. Mayor
Myers made that statement. An or
dinance TO pave it with vitrified brick
will be introduced at the next regular
meeting of Council. The cost will be
met in the usual way, the city paying
one-third and the abutting property
owners two thirds.
Mayor Myers was asked about the
complaint of property owners on the
north side of Stewart street as to it's
condition. He answered that he did not
think that the Union Station Company
had injured them in anyway, but that,
on the contrary, ii had enhanced the
value Of their property, so that it is
worth now twice what it was eighteen
months ago.
After the inspection of the street, the
party visited the new station, which
was greatly admired. The Mayor said
he thought it the finest that is to be
found in any city of the size of Savan-
nah.

They Have Decided to Aid Only
Purely Local Entertainments.
At a meeting of the Retail Mer-
chants Association, held at their rooms
yesterday afternoon the editorial in the
Morning News in reference to shows,
entertainments, etc, gotten up for
charitable purposes, but when out
siders received all, or most all, of the
benefits and the real charity organiza-
ton got comparatively nothing, was
discussed and favorably commented on,
and in the course of the discussion it
was brought out that a very large part
of the profits received are diverted
from the true purposes intended-this
refers to entertainments that are origi-
mated, financed and managed by out
side influences-and therefore it was
unanimously resolved:
That while the Retail Merchants AS
ISOLATION either as an organization or
individually always gladly contribute
towards anything undertaken by the
ladies of Savannah for true charity,
and willingly assist them in their noble
undertakings, that they will not in the
future contribute or assist such causes
when undertaken, unless such contri
buttons shall go directly to the benefit
of the charity under which name the
entertainment is given. and that no
part or portion shall in any way be
the gain or profit of outside specula-
ton

BURNED TO DEATH.
Aunt of DIR. Charlton, who Died in
Columbus, Well Known Here.


Columbus, Well Known Here.
News reached the city yesterday of
the death of Mrs. Benjamin H. Hud-
son from burns received at her home
n Columbus. Mrs. Hudson was a sis
ter of the late DR.. Thomas ] Charl-
nephew, DR.. T. j Charlton, received
a telegram, announcing the fatal re-
suit of the burns.
Mrs. Hudsons dress caught fire from
a CRATE, and she was badly burned
before her screams brought her as
sistance. An account of the accident
was given in a Columbus dispatch to
the Morning News yesterday, and was
the first information Mrs. Hudson's
relatives and friends in Savannah had
of it. While standing in front of a
crate her dress ignited. There was
no one in the room and Mrs Hudson
tried at first to extinguish the flames
herself, but they burned so rapidly
that she ran to a window and call
ed assistance of her neighbors, one of
whom rushed to the scene and, with
the aid of a negro, who was passing
wrapped her in a portierre, eventually
extinguishing the flames, but not un-
til she had been terribly burned from
her knees to her neck
Mrs. Hudson was so years of e;;e
and lived in Savannah until her mar
riage. After she made Columbus her
home she made annual visits here and
had a large number of friends who

death. She was lovable person, fond

NO POLITICAL H0LD-UP.
Chairman of Committee SO Says of
Plan to Index City Records.

Chairman of Committee SO Says OF
Plan to Index City Records.
No action has yet been taken by the
City Council Committee appointed to
employ some one to index Council rec
ords. Alderman Colding, chairman of
the committee, was seen about the
matter yesterday. and said that there
had been some objection raised to the
plan being carried out. Under the cir
cumstances, he said, he thought it
would make little difference to let the
matter rest in its present status. as
the records have gone all these years
without being indeXed, and few
months now can make little difference
He denied that it was because of the
fact that an applicant for the work
of indeXing the records had in the
past had leanings toward the wrong
political faction that the position had
not been given him.
From another alderman came the
political phase of the story. He said
that Mr.. Thomas Halligan, who is
an applicant for the work had the
promise of a majority of the commit
the matter up because of the fact that
Mr.. Halligan had been identified with
the Liberal faction and was, therefore,
regarded as persona non grata by those
of the other side.
The latter alderman takes the posi-
tion that the work provided for by
Council is important, and that, if it
is true that politics is delaying it,
something should be done. He said that
the lawyers have long been wanting
the records indexed, and that it should
be done

ALLEGED DIAMOND R0BBER.
Arrested I'm MiddIetOwn, n. ", and

Believed 10 BE Wanted Here.
An Associated Press dispatch from
Middletown, N Y, concerning the ar
rest of an alleged diamond thief, sup
posed to be wanted in this city. was
sent out last night. Nothing of the
matter is known by the police.
The officers were unable last night
to recall any person who is wanted
here for a diamond robbery, and IT is
probable that If the prisoner is Hast
ings that he is wanted at some other

sometime within the past few years
circulars may have been sent out
through the police department asking
for the arrest of a man suspected OF
diamond stealing. but there is no rec
ord Of the fact at police headquarters.
If the robbery was committed in an
adjoining town and the circulars were
only sent out through the police de-
partment here. there would be no rec
ord Of the matter. The dispatch from
Middletown says:
Peter Jones, who is believed by the
police to be Alfred Hastings. wanted

SENATOR CANN HON0RED.
Accepted Appointment ms Member
of Depot Commission.

Senator j. Ferris Cam yesterday no
titled Hon. Clark Howell, president of
the Senate, and Gov. Gambler of his
acceptance of the appointment as a
member of the Atlanta Depot Commits
sion. Mr. Howell made the appoint
ment, selecting Senator Cam because
of the signal ability he has shown
during his service as state senator
Gov Gambler is chairman of the COM
mission.
The appointment is a distinct honor
for the First Districts senator. The
commission is one of vast Importance,
as it will govern the expenditure of a
great amount of the states money in
the carrying out of the project for a
new depot at Atlanta. 1t is expected
that the commission will stand until
its work is completed. No term of ten
ure was fixed by the Legislature, but
it is possible that the next Legisla-
ture may change the membership.
This. however, is unlikely.
Constituting the commission are the
Governor, two senators and four mem
bers of the House. No salary is paid
the members of the commission, who
receive only 81 a day for such time as
they may be actually employed upon
the depot business.

THE MAYOR AND CAUCUS.
There Are Times, He Said, when n
Caucus Is Badly Wanted.

Mayor Myers believes that it is de-
sirable for the City Council to caucus
upon certain matters before holding an
open meeting. When asked yesterday
what he thought of Alderman Dixon s
position, he replied that the alderman
may think differently about caucus
some time when he will want one. He
is not the first, the Mayor said, whom
he was known to say that caucus as
should not be held, vet those others
have found it desirable at some time
or other to hold caucus.
Alderman Dixon, it will be recalled
was quoted in the Morning News yes
terday as saying that he would not
consider himself bound in future to
observe secrecy regarding matters
brought up in caucus, because of the
members of the board having agreed
at the meeting last Monday not to d.
vulge anything that had transpired
and yet, through some source, per-
uniting all the news to leak out. AL
derman Dixon adheres to his position.
and number interested have told him
that they agree with him that II is
useless and absurd TO continue a pre-
tence of secrecy.

ALEXANDER is HELD
MUST ANSWER FOR THE SALE OF
LIQUOR WITHOUT A LICENSE.
BOUND OVER FOR TRIAL.
HAD NOT PAID THE SPECIAL TAX
REQUIRED by FEDERAL LAW.

Music Hall Proprietor Given n Hear
ing Before United states Commits
sioner RyaIs and Remanded-Evi-
dence showed He Had Been Re-
peatedIy Warned Not to Continue
Business without the Payment OF
the Tax and That These Warnings
Had Not Been Heeded-Defendant
Pleaded Ignorance of the Law.
Released on Bond for His Appear
nnce Before Judge Speer.
Andrew Y. Alexander, proprietor of
the new music hall on West Broad
street, was given a hearing before
United States Commissioner Ryals yes
terday afternoon on a charge of car
rying on the business of a retail liquor
dealer without having paid the special
tax required by law, and on the evil
dence submitted was held by the COM
missioner for the action of the grand
jury of the United States District
Court
An account of Alexander arrest by
United States deputy marshals on last
Saturday night was given in the Morn
ing News at the time of the occurrence.
The hearing before the commissioner
was continued until yesterday to suit
the convenience of important witnesses.
\. w. Wimberly, deputy collector of
tnternal revenue, testified that he had
made several attempts to induce Alex
ander to pay the special tax required by
the government of retail liquor deal
ers, with a perfectly uniform lack of
success. Wimberly had warned the de-
PENDANT that, unless he did pay the
tax proceedings would be instituted
against him and had given him until
day named to comply with the de-
mands of the law. 1t was two days
after the expiration of the period of
grace allowed Alexander, up to which
time he had still failed to pay the tax
that the warrant for his arrest was
issued.
In addition to all this it appeared at
the hearing that after all the trouble
to which he had been put by reason
of his failure to pay the tax, including
his arrest, Alexander had not done
anything further about it and was
violating the law every day of his life
by carrying on business as retail
liquor dealer.
In his own defense Alexander stated
that he was guiltless of any intention
to evade the law and that he had al
ready made application for the issue to
him of a special tax stamp. The
deputy collector to whom he had made
the application, according to his state
ment, was to have called upon him for
the money, but had never done so.
AS there was no dispute that Alex
ander had been fully apprized of the
law and of the fact that he was violat-
ing it and in the face of all the warn
ings he received had persisted in the
sale of liquor without paying the tax,
the commissioner could not accept his
statement as an explanation and so di-
rected that he give bond for his APP
pearance at the next term of the
United States District Court or be
committed to Jail. Bond was fixed at
5000 and this was furnished, with
James NJ. Wilbon as surety.
