SOME WE'RE KEPT AWAY.
DEVICES storm Prediction Held Many
People at Home.

People at Home.
The prediction of Prof. De Voc that
IAN important storm would begin to
form yesterday perhaps served to keep
a good many Savannah people away
from Tybee and some of the other re-
sorts At any rate. the crowd was not
as large as the heat of the day might
have led one to expect.
There was a good crowd. however, at
the beach, and an even larger one at
Thunderbolt. The heat during the mid
die of the day and the early afternoon
was oppressive, and those who were
not afraid of the De Voc storm and
could do so. got out of the city, to
cooler places on the salts.
The sultry weather filled Isle of
Hope with visitors. One car carried
one hundred and ninety one persons.
The schedule got warped by the heat
however, and those who expected to
get home on the o'clock car were de-
layed a half hour. The crowd seemed
not only hot, but hungry. Mr.. Bar
bee reported that he served deviled
crab and fish dinners galore. and that
two hundred and fifty people patron
lied the bathing houses. Mr.. Barbee's
cooking efforts in crab and fish dishes
are gaining for him a reputation as a
seashore caterer.

city westward, travelling as far as Ar
kansas in the interest of the college
He expects to have from four to six
Savannah girls attend Elizabeth Col
iege next term.
Elizabeth College has been establish
ed some four years. During that short
time it has made remarkable strides.
It is located near Charlotte, upon a
beautiful tract that was presented by
the city. The college is conducted un-
der the auspices of the Lutheran
Church. Already there has been more
than $780, 900 spent in it's equipment for
its work, and a handsome building for
music is now being erected. Prof.
Zehm, musical director at the Pan
American Exposition and famous as a
musician. will have charge of the con-
servatory, which will open Oct. /.
Each year since it's establishment has
witnessed growth of the college. Next
term it is expected that there will be a
larger enrolment of girls than ever be-
fore. There were girls from fourteen
states in the Union last term, but it
is expected that there will be even
wider representation next term.

Yesterday was quiet Sunday with
the police. The effects of the Sunday

CARMEN STILL AT WORK.
The Rumored Strike Did Not Materi'
allie.

The strike of the street car motor
men and conductors which it was ru-
mored would be on yesterday morning
did not materialize and the outlook
now is that there will be no strike.
General Manager McIntire said that
he had had no communication from,
or conference with, any of the men or
their representatives since the visit
Saturday of committee of the Nat
ional Federation of Labor and three
of the former employees of the road.
Mr.. McIntire told the delegation that
none of the men discharged had been
let go because of their afiliation with
the union. but for other and sufficient
causes. This so far as he was con-
cerned ended that matter.
Mr.. McIntire said yesterday that so
far as the rumored strike is concerned
all that he knows about it was gath
cred from the rumors current Satur-
day, and which were printed in yester-
days Morning News
According to the rumor the strike
was to begin by the men refusing to
go to work Sunday morning, but far
from such action being taken, more
men showed up to work than on any
previous morning within the last four
months.
The new scale of wages will go into
effect Aug. 1. 1t is said that not more
than half dozen men now with the
road are eligible to the first class who
VIII receive the maximum wage, Is
cents an hour. Some of the men are
inclined to criticise the arrangement of
the classes, saying that in six months
man could become as proficient in
the handling of the cars as he is ever
likely to be. and therefore ought to be
paid the maximum amount of the wage
scale. Whether this view of the mat
ter will be brought to the attention of
the management of the road or not is
not known

HORSE BOARD TO COST MORE.
PrOprietOrs of Boarding stables tC

Raise Their Prices.
The proprietors of boarding stables
in Savannah are trying to get together
in an agreement to raise the price of
board for horses from SIC and SIS per
month, which are the present prices,
to 500 and $21. The matter is being
generally discussed and the indications
are that il will be carried through.
The advance in board is suggested
and urged because of the very material
advance in the price of feed. Oats are
now selling at so cents a bushel and
hay at $21.20 per ton. One stableman
said yesterday that feed would cost
more by contract during the month OF
August.
There are about 200 horses boarded in
the large stables of the city, the pro-
prietors of which are considering the
advance. 1t is said to be practically
assured that the advance will be made
on Aug. /.

Fla. His snakeship is five feet long,
very stout, and has nine ratties and a
button.
He was in anything but good hui
NOR when received. his temper evident
ly having been much ruffled by the
shaking up he experienced on the train.
But the warmth and quiet of the win
dow soon restored his equinamity, and
during the remainder of the day he
appeared to be asleep. Possibly this
state was brought about, at least I'm
part, by a dinner of nine rats that
was taken shortly before the trip to

The Influence Of Words.

A foreigner cannot use our language
perfectly or understand it satisfac-
torily because no dictionary gives the
color which words acquire by usage.
For instance there is the compound
word young one, made by two euDhOn
ious and dignifed words. Yet the
word is vulgarism and scrupulOus
teachers and parents avoid it. UnOb-
jectionable dictionary words have
been stained and sOiled to de
gree which units them for the use OF
discriminating natives. Whole phras-
es have been so long used in one con-
nection, that the language is impOv-
erished by their loss. The ordinary
newspaper reporter is accustomed to
say in a certain part of his report Of
obseauies that the body was cOnsign-
ed to the tomb or to the earth. 1t
was therefore with shock that i
read the other day Of bride being
consigned to her husband. There Is
not a man, woman or youth in Lin
colu who is not convinced that his or
her services are worth a hundred dol
