A LITTLE FABLE FOR WIVES.

Once upon a time there was a hand some and Prosperous Bear who had Married in his early Youth His Wife was most eStimable Creature, but she did not know her Business, She thought when you Caught Husband you he'd Got him for Keeps, and did not understand that Fascinating anything Masculine is like Washing your Face. It has to be done over Fresh every Morning
 Because she was Married and a Mother, Mrs. Bear ceased to care for her Looks. She wore on old Fur Coat that was Moth-eaten and Mangy. and her Conversation was all of the Steril ized Milk Brand. Mir. Bear approved of this Course. and said a Mothers place was with her Babies. Personally. though. he did not enjoy the odor of Soothing Syrup and Paiegoric, so he got Gay, and became a Charter Mem Der of the Married Flirts. He went out every night, and after tho Theater bought Bottles and Birds for the Chorus. who devoured them Greedily and called Him a Good Thing.
 In society he cultivated an air of lam gushing sorrow, and when He met young and beautiful Female Animal he told her his Troubles.
 My Life he said, lis Bighted by an uncongenial Marriage. My Wife doea not Und erstand Me. She cares for nothing but Bread and Butter, while an All Soul.

There is,' says Kansas authority. "one sure barometer of financial condi- tiOns in Kansas. Whenever the people feel rich they get up schemes to bore in the ground after oil or gas, or other valuable productions. This propensity ha. given Kansas some very valuable coal, gas oil and salt fields, and it ia to be encouraged, not deplored. Today something like fifty towns are boring Holes in the ground. At one place out in western Kansas they are down 2.000 feet. and still are cheerfully chugging away At Abilene $3,O0O has been raised by popular subscription for the purpose of boring. and the work l. to be started at once.

During ten years the center has moved but fourteen miles. This is the slightest movement ever noted. In 110 ycaro it has moved 5l9 miles.
 This curious line described by the moving center of population tells at a glance much of the growth of the coun- try, the points almost due west, indi- aatirg that both north and south have had their share of the increase in pop ulation. During the past ten years the line has been defiected southward less than three miles This movement is accounted for by the rapid increase in population in the Indian Territory, Ok lahoma and Texas. The slight prog rcss the line has made to the westward is owing to the large increase in the | north Atlantic cities. The movement al:'l shows that the western states have not increased as rapidly as in former decades.

  A Boston man has invented a street nal box system in which the use of electricity will, he claims, prevent rob bery, while assuring q prompt and reg ular collection of the letters. The post office department Is testing the system now
 The boxes have electric locke con- nectt1 by wire with registering clock at the central flee. The collector visits the boxes in certain order, and when he reaches the first he signals to the central office, where man at once releases the lock of that box so that the collectors key may throw back the bolt. His unlocking box one electrical ly releases the lock of box two; box two releases box three, and so on.
 When box is opened or closed the time and the box number are instantly registered at the central office so that a collectors whereabouts and the length of his stay at any box are al ways known. If the box be injured by accident, or.tampered with by thieves, an electric bell instantly rings at the office.

 Male clerk in government offices in Washington arc disappearing. More than one-third of the 7.6S7 clerks hired by Uncle sam at his business head quarter" are women.
 It is estimated that 70 per cent of the clerkShips which fall vacant in Washington are filled by women; if the ratio of increase continues for two generations the maie employe will dis appear except in the higher places.
 Women were first permitted to be- come employees in government offices in 1862, when Secretary of the Treasury Salmon P. Chase appointed aix women clerks.
 In the early days many bills were in- troaEcel in congress discriminating against women employees, but they re- ceived little support. Congress did once pass bill fixing the maximum salary for female clerks at $900 per annrm. This was in force for several years, but in 1870 an amendment was passed which removed the discrimina- ton.

 Behind the trolley hearse will come a car designed for carrying flowers It's side" will be of plate glass, and there will be refrigerating arrangements for keeping the flowers fresh.
 Next will come a car for relatives and friends o' the dead. Tne interior will be '.) arranged that the seats will look as much as pogsible like those of private carr!age. There will be practically three carriages to each car.

Scarce ly week passes without a similar im- portption by the boats of this or some other line. This soil is black and stony. It is chosen for weight and not for it's fertility. It is probable that the seeds of great many Scotch plants are imported in this way

PROPOSITIONS RECEIVED.

Discussion Conferred Principally Up
on the Ten Brock Race Course
md the ThunderboIt Driving Park.

BE That the Tract Is Best Adapted
to Fair Needs, and Offer of the
Site VIII Probably BE Changed.
@. ii. Dorsett a Director.
No site for the State Fair to be held
in Savannah next fall was selected at the
meeting of the Board of Directors of the
Savannah Fair Association that was held
at II o'clock yesterday morning at the
ONCE of President George w. Owens. The
Site Committee reported without making
any recommendation, and the directors
die not agree upon any one OF the sites
that had been offered the committee On
the committee were Mr.. j. W. jackson,
chairman; Maj G. NJ. Ryals and Mr. B.
H. Levy.
Mr.. Owens presided over the meeting,
and Mr.. L. w. Neeson was present as
secretary. There was a large attendance
of the members Of the board. The ques-
ton Of a site was taken up without de-
lay, the committee enumerating those
that had been placed at it's disposal and
reviewing the terms upon which they had
been offered. The greatest discussion
that followed was relative to the Ten
Brock racecourse and the Thunderbolt
Driving Park, which had the lead in the
opinion of the directors as to availability
The conditions of the offer made by Mr..
A. P. Doyle, manager of the Thunderbolt
Driving Park, were set forth in the
Morning News yesterday. The offer Of
the Agricultural and Mechanical Associa-
ton of Georgia wass to allow the use of
the Ten Brock race course and grounds
the first year for $175 and for four years
longer, if wanted, for one-half the net
profits that might be made by the Fair
Association, the Agricultural and Mechan-
ical Association, upon the expiration OF
the four years, to have the buildings
erected by the Fair Association.
1t developed that the directors were
almost adj agreed that the Ten Brock
tract offered the greatest advantages, and
it is quite probable that it would have
been agreed upon, had the offer of the
Agricultural and Mechanical Associa ton
been regarded as more equitable. The di-
rectors seemed to think that too much
was asked by the owners of the tract
President Owens and Col. ]. H. Estill
are largely interested in the Agricultural
and Mechanical Association, and they as
sured the directors that their association
was seeking no profit from having the
site selected for the fair, but only desir-
ed to be Unidentified against loss. The as
ISOLATION was ready, they said, to make
another offer to the Fair Association. The
directors will consider the question of a
site at another meeting.

MURTHA GOT OFF LIGHT.
Pleaded Guilty to Indictment for
Forgery and Fined 800.

Pleaded Guilty to Indictment for
Forgery and Fined 800.
In the Superior Court yesterday morn
ing T. B. Murtha entered a plea of guilty
to an Indictment charging him with forg
cry, and, under the agreement that he
should be punished as for a misdemeanor,
was sentenced to pay fine OF 800 and
costs or serve six months in Jail. The de-
PENDANT paid the fine. r..:
The crime with which Murtha was
charged and to which he entered plea
! of guilty, was the forgery of the name
of NJ. Boley, a relative, of the defendant,
to a note given by Murtha to Mrs. Alice
B. Manette for the amount of the rent
of the Marshall House. Mrs. Mallette had
been the proprietor OF that establishment
and sub-leased to Murtha. The note
which he gave, bearing Mr.. Boley's al
legged Endorsement was for $3.50.
In addition to the payment of the fine
and costs Murtha paid the amount of the
note to Mrs. Mallette. With the profits
of his fraud thus made good to their right
full owner, and on account of certain ex-
tenuating circumstances in the case,
Judge Falligant was prevailed upon to
limit the punishment to the fine or short
Imprisonment fixed in the sentence.
verdict of not guilty was returned
by the jury in the case of Joe Wine and
Ed Williams, indicted for assault with
intent to murder D. Shverstein. The two
men went into Silverstein's store and
! while Williams reached for the till, Wine
| attempted to STAB the proprietor of the
| place with a knife. This was the evil
dence for the state but there was a con-
flict and the benefit of the doubt engen-
dered by this conflict in the minds of the
| jurymen was given by them to the de-
| PENDANTS.
| Several other criminal cases were tried
in the Superior Court the juries in all of
| them returning verdicts of not guilty.
1t was a bad day for the state, the only
sentences imposed being in those cases
in which the defendants themselves ac-
knowledged their guilt and entered pleas.

The grand jury returned true bill Of

Moses Small, charging him with the muir
der of Sam Green. Savage shot and ia
tally wounded Green near Bonaventure
Cemetery, on Monday afternoon; the
wounded man died at the Georgia In
Urinary on Wednesday morning
The coroner's jury, by which, under the
direction of Dr. Keller, the homicide was
investigated, returned a verdict declaring
that Green came to his death by gun
shot wound inflicted by Savage and pro-
nouncing the killing murder.
The evidence given the coroners jury
was told in the account Of the inquest,

jury returned its true bill of Indictment
was that of the witnesses who testified
before the coroner.
Savage will be tried for the crime of
murder in the Superior Court, on Tues
day morning next. The evidence in the
case is covered by the testimony of q
comparatively small number of witnesses
and it is believed that the trial will be
concluded and the verdict of the jury

CITY PROPERTY IN DEMAND.
Meeting of City Council WINS De-
voted to Applications.


meeting of. the City Council was held
yesterday at 1890 o'clock. with nearly
the full board in attendance. The business
considered was the application OF Mr..
Charles Ellis, representing himself and
others interested in a plan for the erec-
ton Of a fertilizer factory, for site on
a portion of the old water works tract
boundary.
The dimensions of the strip wanted by
Mr.. Ellis, Mr.. r. NJ. Butler. Mr.. II. ID.
Stevens, Mr.. c. G. Bell, and others IN
terested in the scheme, are 70 by 700 feet
The desired site is along the eastern side
Of the water works tract.
Mr.. Ellis appeared before the Commit
tee of the Whole meeting that preceded
the open meeting of Council, and showed
the advantages that the city would de-
rive from the establishment of factory
of such size as is contemplated. While
the factory would not be located within
the city. it would yet be a factor in IT'S
development by providing employment Tor
MANY laborers who would have their
homes within the corporate limits and do
their trading with Savannah merchants
No action was taken upon the matter
by Council, after the meeting of the Com
fer it to the Committee on Water ana
the Committee on City Lots. The matter
had been in charge of the two commit
tees for some time, and it is expected
that they will soon be ready with re-
port They have held that the price the
prospective company is willing TO give
for the site is not commensurate with lts
value.
Another matter. referred to the Commit
ton from the Savannah Union Station
Company, to be allowed to grade Stew
