FLORIDA.

The government has served Notice on
Hon. W. B. Henderson, president of the
Florida State Board of Health, that the
state station must be removed from Null
let key. which is a government reserva-
ton. The government offers to buy the
equipment of the state board at a fair
price. This means that the Marine Hos
pitaI Service viii take entire charge of
the quarantine .affairs-a move which has
been anticipated since the passage OF the
ar by the last Congress giving it the
authority to do so. The government owns
the land on which three of the four state
quarantine stations are located-the ex-
cepefon being the station at Fernandina.
This means. practically the adjustment
of the State Board of Health so far as
maritime quarantine affairs are concern
ed What the board proposes to do, how
ever. has not yet been announced. II the
government win place the proper men in
chaTge-Dr. Porter at the head, for in
stance-the people Of the state will offer
no objections to the change The trou-
BILE has been heretofore that the Marine
Hospital Service has sent many young
and inexperienced physicians to the most
important posts TO cope with situations
for which they had neither the ability nor
the experience.

MUST HAVE FIRE-DRILLs.
The Chief Intends to Have an ordin-

The Chief Intends to Have an ordin-
ance introduced.
Superintendent Of the Fire Department
John E. Mcguire is firmly convinced that
fire drills are needed in the public ard
private schools OF Savannah and has
stated his intention Of preparing an or
dinance making it compulsory. He stated
yesterday that he intended to have such
an ordinance introduced and that If it
takes him all the summer ne proposes to
see that IL becomes a law.
The idea Of fire drills is not so much
the protection of the children from loss
Of life by fire as it is the protection from
that awful loss Of life, which generally
results from a foolish and unnecessary
stampede. which is liable TO occur al al
most any time by reason of such a lack
Of interest as is now shown by the au-
thorities Of the public schools said the
superintendent yesterday. Il have been
congratulated and commended by many
worthy citizens for the position I have
taken in this matter and as a public off,
Ger propose TO make a tour of the pub
lie schools of this city end to draft plans
of the same 50 that l may present in
telligently to City Council just why an or
dinance should be enacted requiring the
schools, public or private to inaugurate
fire drills"

MAYOR BRowN,s CLOSE CALL.

Mayor Brown and city Electrician
Sweet. Of Albany. both had a narrow es-
cape from sudden death Saturday night.
The mayor was Inspecting the city cleo
7ric light plant, in company with the cleo
trician says the Albany Herald: The
mayor and the electrician were standing
beside one Of the big machines. which
was running al a high rate Of speed.
Mayor Brown was Immediately ia front
Of the cylinder head, where he stood for
several minutes converEing with the cleo
srician. He started TO move toward the
front door. and Mr.. Sweet followed him
closely. Just as the latter cleared the
big cylinder there was a terrific report
like that Of an exploding cannon and the
room was instantly filed with a thick
cloud OF steam which obscured everything.
The electrician hastily groped his way TO
and succeeded in closing it. 1t was then
found that the entire head of the cylinder
10 the big engine had Blown out I,
passed within a foot and half of the
mayor, and near enough to Mr.. Sweet
TO brush his coat tail. 1t crashed through
the wall Of the building, demolishing
EectioD Of II, and was smashed into scores
Of pieces by the tremendous force that
hurled it. Both Mayor Brown and Mr.
Sweet were a biz pale and shaky when
fhey realized what a close call they had
had They moved just "in the nick of
time" Had the cylinder head struck either
&. them. death would have been instan-
tsneous, for the power was sufficient to
fairly cut human body in twain.

SACRED TO CUPID's SLAVES.
Variations an the Celebration of st
Valentines Day.

Valentines Day.
Tomorrow is st. Valentines day, prob
ably the most popular of the festivals that
have come to this age from pagan times.
It is the day on which Dan Cupid reigns
supreme, and receives his need of recogni-
ton through the tokens of affection ten
dered each other by man and maid
Essentially it is the day Of lovers, for
though some children send the tender or
satirical missives as the case may be, and
some of the "old folks send valentines
as tokens of friendship, yet in the main
this symbol of a lovers fondness is sent
only by those who are old enough to
know and feel the blissful sting of Cupid's
dart, but not yet so old as to know that
the bliss is evanescent, while the sting
remains.
Yet even this festival of st. Valentines
day, sweet and quaint though 1t be, Is
not so generally observed as it formerly
was, and bids fair, in the not very dis
tant future 10 be numbered with the 9TH
err customs and celebrations of the brave
days of old" Several of the local dealers,
who in former years carried large and as
sorted stocks of valentines. from the PEN
ny abortion of color and drawing known
as the comic valentine, ito the beautiful
and artistic creation of satin ribbon; hand
painted. and with golden script, have dis
continued their sale entirely.
The present seasons stock Of valentines
includes both these extremes in value, and
has in addition several novelties, in the
form of calendars. birthday books etc.
There is an increasing tendency. howev-
err on the part of the senders OF valen.
tines, to discard the valentine proper, and
to send in its place, presents of either
candy or flowers. This tendency, how
ever. has not yet become developed suffi-
GENTLY as to cause the candy dealer to
make special preparations to meet ii. Nor
have the, flower dealers. at least in this
city been embarrassed on account of
either inability to fill orders. through any
shortage of stock caused by the number
of demands
The postoffice, probably, is the best
gauge in estimating the incFease or de-
cline of the custom of sending valentines
Yesterday Postmaster J. f. Doyle said
that the regular mail had been increased
by about one thousand packages and let,
ters that are attributed TO the senders
OF these tender tokens. To-day, IL the
record of previous years may be taken
as an index, there will be an additional in
crease in the mails of between four and
FIVE thousand packages and letters. on
ST. Valentines day itself, will begin the
trouble Of the letter carriers, as, col
lectively. they win be called on on that
day TO deliver the FIVE thousand or more
additional mail packages sent TO this Of
fee.
On 81. Valentines night the small boy
will begin to get In his work; for some
unknown reason he has transferred 10 this
night many Of the customs and practices
that are supposed 70 belong properly 10
All Halloween. In addition to the com
ic valentines. with which he compliments
Unfortunately his friends and enemies
IN squads he rings door bells and IN other
ways makes merry by making himself
general nuisance.

The handsome gray horse owned by Mr..
N. Prayer became frightened yesterday
morning and ran away on jefferson
street completely demolishing a new bug
gy. The animal. which is a valuable one,
was very badly injured, and II is thought
will have 70 be shot The buggy was
turned upside down and was stopped at
jefferson and Bolton streets by Patrolman
Codbold. who was on his bicycle at the
time. The officer chased the frightened
animal Tor several blocks before he was
able 70 stop II. While no limbs were
broken. the horse was badly cut and the
veterinary surgeon called ia announce I
that Il would be worthless, even n 81 dii

cape, and the damage would probably
have been more serious had not Officer
Godbold made q lively sprint and stopped
the horse.

TwIGGs coUNrY,s LESSON.

Dublin Courier Dispatch: The burn
ing Of the records OF Twiggs county
Thursday morning last will doubtless
cause almost endless trouble in that coun-
~. The loss sustained by the burning
OF the court house Is small and insignif-
cant compared 10 the loss Of the books
and records. It is strange the people in
that county allowed the records TO be
kept unprotected from fire. BY the eX-
penditure Of a few thousand dollars
vaults could have been built that would
have protected the records. BY not build
ing the vaults the taxpayers saved lit
tie money but at what cost The lesson
learned by the people Of Twiggs county
should impress itself on the minds OF the
people In the other counties Of Georgia
that have court records IN an unprotected
condition. II is almost criminal to ne
Elect this most important matter.

Cutting Scrape.

Negro Dive an TenderIofn Scene of
Cutting Scrape.
There was a trough house" over the
barroom of Sue Barlow, at Houston street
and Oglethorpe avenue lane. at an early
hour yesterday morning, in which VIII
liam Wiley. colored, was stabbed. Wiley
lives at No. 10 Randolph street, and re-
ported the assault at police headquarters.
He charged that a negro named John
Shostes had done the cutting, and that
there was not the slightest provoca ton
for the assault. While the police have
nothing 70 prove their theory, they are
of the opinion that the cutting scrape was
the result of a skin game in the Tender
loih dive Charley Shoates. a brother of
the man who did the cutting, fired pistol
during the trouble and is also wanted by
the police. The ball went throw the cell
ing and did no damage. The officers made
careful search for the brothers during
dhe day, but were unable TO locate them.

AT THE THEATER.

No wonder May Irwin is so popular in
New York and the metropolitan cities
that she has never found time to visit the
smaller cities before. She is great She
is not beautiful. she is not even pretty
and this IS what makes her success 50
real and deserved, for homely woman on
the stage has 10 possess real talent to
make a showing.
Miss Irwin certainly should have felt
happy with the brilliant audience which
greeted her last night. 1t was probably
the largest Of the season and every part
Of the Theater was filled. many being
willing to stand through the entire per-
Torrance, so excellent was It.
The audience became interested in the
piece from the beginning and it did not
drag for a second. The piece itself IS not
remarkable and in the hands Of anyone
but May Irwin and a competent company
1t would probably not amount to much.
1t is simply a three-act farce. with mis-
taken identity, a woman lawyer, some
bright gags, slang and singing, but it
was funny bright and entertaining.
II is not easy TO describe Miss Irwin
One has to see her to appreciate her, for
she has little mannerisms and ways
which are indescribable. She Just brissles
over with good humor. and her facet
that's 1t! It's her face and the way she
uses 1t. that makes one laugh. She sings
coon songs as they never have been sung
here before, and one could hardly help
thinking what a wench she would make
with a black face. Her songs, I've Got
Troubles Of My own" and II Amt Going
TO Work No More" were encored several
times. and she responded to a curtain
call.
Ignacio Martinettl. as Count Cotton, was
immense In his part, as Martinetti always
is, for he is a clever actor. Joseph VI.
Sparks. as 'Shaughnessy. was inimita-
BILE, and his THE Turkey and the Turk"
song was so much enjoyed that he was
compelled to sing several extra verses.
George A. Beane, as John Smith; Bert
Thayer. as Ggnnington Swift and Carrie
Radcliffe. as Clarice Gay, were all clever
in their parts.
The singing was all good, and the
choruses by the company weer splendid.
The play was put on just as 1t was in
New York. and the costumes worn by
Miss Irwin and the ladies were very
handsome.

The only way Senator Teller can hope

least one representativ: working with the
majority if the best interests are to be
served. Their. mo use chasing phantoms
after the people have been assured that
such is the case. Teller is Republican

Senator Teller received no Republi.

that, Senator Teller assured the editor
