cHnIsT,s LIFE IN WOOD.
The work of Twenty-seven Years
with a Pocket Knife.

From the Salt Lake Herald
To illustrate the ffe OF Christ in wood
with only one tool. and that tool pocket
knife, twenty-seven years OF John Don
nelfs life were required. He has finished
the work. 1t stands in his home. at 12s
East Fourth South street. a marvel of
ingenuity and an example Of which may
not be found in history. There are more
than $50 hfelike figures, each one OF
which was carved by hand out Of solid
block Of wood. The whole. in its frame,
represents three years actual whiting.

CHAMPION FELTz MATCHED.
He Will Meet Joe Hurst of Boston in
Savannah July 8.

savannah July y.
The Savannah Athletic Club has per-
fected arrangements for scientific glove
contest at the Theater for the night of
July 8, and lovers of clean boxing are
promised an evening of entertainment.
The match has been arranged already
and Tommy Feltz of Brooklyn, and Joe
Hurst of Boston, will spar twenty rounds.
Both men are well known in the pugilis-
tic world, and have regulations in their
line.
Feltz is the champion no pound fighter
of the world, and has bested almost ev-
cry lightweight in the business, with the
exception of Terry McGovern. He is III
every sense of the word a scientific man
with the gloves, and his record speaks
for itself. Hurst is also we'll known,
and will need no introduction to those
who keep up with sporting events. He
has the scalps of many good men dangling
at his belt, and he intends to make an
effort to take Feltz into camp. Hurst
has met the Brooklyn boy on three oc-
casions. Two twenty-five round contests
resulted in draw on each occasion. The
last time that the men met in the. ring
the decision went to Feltz, and the Boston
lad desires to get even in this city.
An interesting ten-round event has
been arranged as a preliminary. Tommy
Corcoran Of this city and Dillon of Brook
lyn will box for purse, and those who
know Corcoran, and have seen him fight,
do not question but that the game will
be lively while it lasts. Dillon is Feltz' S
trainer, and is said to be handy lad
with the mits. The two men have never
met, but the Savannah boy feels that he
will be able to look after his own in the
ring. The main bout will be refereed by
Shorty Jenkins.

THEY'RE shy OF 1T.
Savannah Aldermen Not Up to Date
in Mosquito killing.


Savannah aldermen will not take up the
question of discriminating mosquitoes.
They will discuss the matter jokingly,
but they won't be serious about it. One
of them said yesterday there will GER
tainly be no legislation introduced in
Council looking toward the undoing Of
mosquitoes in the city.
One of the aldermen received circu-
lar from Baltimore sent him by rela-
tive, who had noted in the Morning News
that this city has felt some interest in
the efforts made elsewhere to get rid Of
the troublesome insects. The circular
was signed by the commissioner OF health
of Baltimore, and was addressed to the
citizens, as follows:
Experience in the use of kerosene oil
to prevent the breeding Of mosquitoes
has reached such point as to practically
demonstrate that it is efficient.
LAS mosquitoes only breed in stagnant
water, 1 would earnestly recommend that
every householder pour one gill Of kero-
sene oil into their privy wells and a pro-
portionate quantity into all pools and
drains where stagnant water may col
lect at least once every two weeks. The
oil will form a film over the surface OF
the water which is fatal to the young
of the mosquito and Will cause the death
OF the female mosquito when she at
tempts to deposit her eggs in the water.
at is Impossible at this time to obtain
any money from the city government for
the purpose of destroying mosquitoes, but
in 1902 / shah ask for an appropriation
for this purpose"

ONE MORE DAY OF GRACE.
But the Tabernacle Must Come Down
After Wednesday.

But the Tabernacle Must Come Down
After Wednesday.
Another brief lease on life has been
gained by the Tabernacle in the Park
Extension. Capt. w. T. Gibson called on
Acting Mayor Dixon yesterday and told
him that Mayor Myers had said some
days before that the Tabernacle might
remain standing until next Wednesday.
Acting Mayor Dixon had writ
ten letter to Rev. w. A..
Nisbet, president of the Min
isters' Association, calling attention to
the time that has elapsed since the ex-
piration Of the contract under which the
Tabernacle was to remain standing, and
saying that the building would be re-
moved by the city if it were not taken
down by next Tuesday. 1t was this letter
that caused Capt. Gibson's visit to the
Mayor
He was told by Acting May
or Dixon that the agreement
he had made with Mayor My
ers would be allowed to stand, but that
certainly the Tabernacle could not stand
later than Wednesday.
Capt. Gibson said after his conference
with the Mayor that he had received a
letter from Mr.. J. G. Blaine, who was
In Charleston, saying that he had dis
posed of the building in that city, and
that 1t would be removed from the Park
Extension, work beginning probably to-
morrow. Capt. Gibson is owed $3.50 on the
building. He says he does not appre-
bend that he will not get his money.

aaEEN eRoonR,s SIDE OF RI.
A Few Things He Charges Up to the
Hucksters.

Savannah, June 22-Editor Morning
News: In answer to the many articles
written pro ana con in regard to the
poor huckster. ask space enough to give
few facts to the public:
First. or all the people who cry poor,
hard-working huckster, how many have
seen him barter with a farmer or coun-
tryman and watch him steal. see him buy
and pay for one dozen corn, cucumbers
for a dozen? Let farmer come to mar
ket with produce of any kind and see
fifty to seventy-five poor hucksters crowd
his wagon and take away his produce be-
fore they can be stopped by the police
man on duty. Inquire of the magistrate
in the city and find if 1t isn't daily oc-
currence for farmers to beg them to col
lect accounts bought in good faith and
yet under our laws you can't compel cob
iections, while on the other hand, any
green grocer can buy from the farmer
on credit if he so desires.
Second. License the hucksters for any
amount, payable quarterly and how many
payments will the city get when vege-
tables are not in season, for then all
negroes look alike.
Third How often have any housekeep-
ers who favor the poor hucksters tried
to buy from farmers at the market or
from fishermen at the Thunderbolt juno
ton on Bolton street and succeeded?
Why, they wouldn't be in it with those
poor hucksters. who virtually take the
stuff from them.
How do these poor hucksters live when
vegetables and fruits are not so plenti-
full, as they are at present? They are no
charge on the public, unless it takes more
to feed a larger chaingang or more
guards to keep them.
The foregoing is no idle talk. but any
person can convince him or herself of the
truth by going to Market at a. m. or
to the Junction at 6 a. m. Would it be
fair to licensed and high licensed dealers
at that to compare them with this rowing
band of marauders or want them to come
in competition with their thieving meth
DDS?
To all fair-mtnded business men who
have competition, their answer is, no, and
feeling so we do not hesitate to leave
what we claim to be our just and fair
rights in the hands of our respected
Mayor and aldermen. Green Grocer.
