MONKEY MADE LOVE.


Lucy, the monkey which has been at
large in the vicinity of the Central Fire
station for several days, was captured
early yesterday morning by Driver
Bob Glass famous Jack. Jack is also
a monkey, but is much larger than
Lucy, and is well behaved. The fire.
mans pet had heard of the naughty
tricks that Lucy had been playing. and
felt that his tribe was being disgraced.
Lucy made her appearance on Floyd
street some time before 5 o'clock in
the morning and found every thing
quiet and serene. There was no chance
for excitement, and she was induced by
Jack to enter the yard of the fire sta
ton for a chat in her mother tongue.
Jack is installed in an iron cage, with
two other monks, and Lucy had to go
close to the bars to talk in a tone
that would not arouse the sleeping fire
ladies, or attract the attention of the
night watch.
Jack played his hand well, and ac-
tually engaged In the game of oscula-
ton, in order to get quite close to the
devilish Lucy. The we'll behaved monk
placed his arm, or rather paw, around
Lucy's waist in an affectionate man
ner, and she believed that he was go
ing to hug her for the fun that was in
1t. Jack Rugged alright, but he stop
ped kissing, and began to yell for help
His cry of distress was heard by
Fireman Harrison. who was on the
last watch, and who lost no time in
getting to the yard. Jack had actually
used his good looks as a decoy to get
hold of Lucy for the firemen. Unfor-
tunately a negro on his way to work
also heard Jack cry, and ran to the
yard with a big club. This frightened
Jack, and he released his hold on Lucy
during the excitement.
The hayward monk lost no time in
making her escape, and did hot foot
up an oak tree on Floyd street She
remained there until everything
human had gotten out of the
way and only three dogs
remained on the ground to guard
her. Lucy does not mind a little thing
like a dog and she promptly came
down. Two or three vicious swipes
with her sharp paws were sufficient to
send the CANNES scurrying away with
their tails between their legs, and
Lucy has not been seen since. In the
absence of her owner, and because of
the trouble she has caused. the fire.
men have offered a reward for the ar
rest of Lucy unframed.

ROCK THRowERs SENTENCED.
Four of Then Given n Total of ST,
Months I'm Jail.

A total of four rock throwers ap-
peared before Recorder Myrick in Po-
lice Court yesterday, and each was Sc
verely punished. The court stated that
there has been too many rock battles,
of one sort or another, recently, and
that he does not intend to permit those
who violate the laws to escape with
only nominal fines.
There were two urchins named Willie
Small under a charge of hurting stones
at a fruit man. The boys are only 10
years old, but have been under arrest
many times. One of the pair is a son
of the late desperate Abe Small, who
died on the gallows for the murder of
Mounted Patrolman Neve. This Willie
is bad egg in every way, and is a
thief of no mean ability. The boy says,
however, that he has no idea of ending
his career ass did his father, for the
reason that he never commits a rob-
berry where there is d chance of being
shot, and that he would not kill except
to save his own life. The two Smalls
were each given sixty days on the
chain-gang.
Richard Cook and M. Jones, two ne
gro lads, were each given thirty days
for being engaged in a similar game.
They were arrested by Mounted Patrol
man j. A. Woods for throwing rocks
at a street sign on Jefferson and Thir-
ty-ninth streets.

that would conduce to the best inter
ests of the city.
This suggestion commended itself as
wise to those present at the meeting
and 1t was determined to postpone ac-
ton upon the dues and the amount OF
purchases until Tuesday evening, when
a meeting will be held at the Screven
House and the organization of the as
ISOLATION perfected. In the meantime
Mr.. Smith is TO ask the president of
the Wholesale Grocers Association, Mr..
Jos. Ferst, to call a meeting, and 1t will
decide what il will be able to do.
A vote was taken to secure the sense
of the meeting on the subject of mini
mum purchase and it was found that a
majority of the wholesalers was in IA
vor of increasing this to $500. This
vote, however, was tentative merely,
and positive action has been deferred
until Tuesday.

WANT THEIR QUEUES CUT.
Savannah CeIestiaIs Will Not Heed
Snn Francisco Society.

St1tStEAfs VIII tOt
San Francisco Society.
The Savannah Cinnamon are expect
ing letter from the Chinese Reform
Association of San Francisco, request
ing that all Cinnamon who love the
United States, and hate the present
rulers of China, cut off their queues.
Such requests are now being made of
all of the almond eyes in the United
States, and the some sixty Sons of
joss in this city will probably have
this unusual request made of them in
a few days. eff P
The Chinese Reform Association is
powerful enough in San Francisco.
where there are several thousand
Celestials, but it is not popular in Sa-
vannah. Wing Sing, a laundryman of
No. ia Broughton street, east, talked
interesting of the request that is be-
ing made by the reform society. Wing
speaks very good English, and discuss
ed the associations formal order at
length. Translated it reads: "All good
Cinnamon who are interested in the
cause of reform and who desire to
better the condition of their native
land, and to improve their condition
in this, the land of their adoption, will
at once proceed to cut off their
queues"
Wing Sing is of the opinion that the
order will not cut very much ice in
Savannah, and that the colony will
move along as if nothing unusual had
been asked. There are no Chinese bar
bers here to profit by such a thing,
and all of the laundrymen are willing
to let matters rock along as they are
at present. Some half dozen members
of the colony have taken off their
queues because they have found it
more comfortable, but not because of
any connection with the reform as
ISOLATION.
The Broughton street laundryman is
among those without queue. He dis
carded his several years ago, but most
of the other natives of the Orient re-
main true to their custom. The wear
ing of the queue denotes submission,
and for a Chinaman to visit his native
land without one is almost like treason.
He is jeered at and according to
Wing, his life is made miserable for
him.
Wing says that he expects to return
to his mother-land before he crosses
the great river, but that when he is
ready to make the trip to the far east
he will begin to grow another queue.
This takes about a year, and the Sa-
vannah Chinaman says that it is worth
while waiting for. AS long as he is
in America he doesn't want to have
anything to do with a queue, and gets
along very nicely without one
There are some folks in China who
do not wear queues, and who, too, are
looked up to. They are the clergy, and
according to the Chinese custom are
in distinct and separate class. The
ministers are not supposed to marry
in China, and. in fact, do not, says
Wing. They do away with the queue
custom, and are thus distinguished
from the commoner people, who pro-
fess submission at every step. AS a
rule, Cinnamon do not care to discuss
the queer habits of their race, or to
talk of the characteristics of the ma
tives of the large empire. Wing de-
clares that the Cinnamon who have
given up their queues have done so be-
cause it was their desire, and that the
San Francisco letters will go by unno-
ticed in Savannah.

STANDS BY HIS PREDICTION.
DcVoe Says He Was Right and
Prophecies Again.

Meteorological DeVoe. whose predic-
ton of storm got good many people
excited a week or two ago, says his
prediction was fulfilled and Savannah
ians may thank their stars they didn't
get the blow.
Prof. DeVoe was in Savannah about
the middle of July and while here he
turned loose a prediction for an i'm
portant storm on the 2Sth. Savannah
gale to a West Indian hurricane and
when none showed up they refused to
stand for any more of DEVICES predic-
tons.
Prof. DeVoe not only says his predic-
ton was fulfilled but he makes a few
others not quite so alarming the full
fillment of which will be followed by a
cool spell that will let Savannahians
off with an easy summer.
In letter to the Morning News Prof.
DeVoe says: when 1 was in
your delightful city, the latter
part of July I stated to your
reporter in an interview that your read
ers should prepare for a great storm;
that an important change would take
place on the 2Sth, followed by an un-
usually heavy storm. l noticed in your
issue of July 20 that at least one of
your readers did not believe my state
ments, and that he even offered to bet
$50 that you would not have any big
storm for at least two weeks; and he
offers to put up his money. / do not
belong to the betting crowd; for / be-
lieve in the doctrine that a mans hap
piness does not consist in the abund-
ance of the things which he possesseth.
Every man should strive to so live, that
when he is summoned into the other
world, the people whom he leaves here
will be both better and wiser from his
example.
THE New York Herald says that you
had a remarkable summer storm. So
that gentleman who was so anxious to
bet his money that my prediction would
not be verified should congratulate
himself that no one accepted his offer.
1t was about four days late.
Il expect two more heavy storms
moving in the same direction as the
one on the 9Th and 9th. They ought
to reach the Atlantic coast, one on the
18th and the other on the 2Uth. And
these storms will produce unusually
cold weather along the Atlantic coast
from Florida to Maine. You are not
likely to have hot wave until the
25th. and then it will only last about
four days, followed by heavy thunder
storms and cooler weather on the S0th."

Mr.. John c. Morgan died at the Park
View Sanitarium yesterday afternoon
after an illness of several weeks. Up
TO within a few hours of his death his

WAITING FOR JACKSON TO TALK
Nothing Heard From Him Yet About
Rejection of Cotton.

Nothing Heard From Him Yet About
Rejection of Cotton.
Albany may yet be the first bale"
town. but it will require quick work.
Since the bale shipped to Savannah
from Albany the other day was not of
ficially entered here because it was be-
lieved to contain old cotton, other
towns are in the race, and new cotton
may be hurried in from them at any
time.
Deal Jackson, the well-known
Dougherty county negro farmer, who
brought Georgia's first bale to this
market on Tuesday" says the Herald.
has not been seen since it was made
known that the bale could not pass
muster at Savannah. 1t is supposed
that as soon as he learns of the action
of the Savannah Exchange Classifca-
ton Committee. Jackson will have
something to say. 1t may be that he
will undertake to establish the genuine
ness of his first bale in spite of the
action of the Savannah committee.
"As was stated in Tuesdays Herald,
the bale was bought by the Georgia
Cotton Company for 10 cents per pound
and shipped to E. A. Cults of Savan-
nah. The Georgia Cotton Company re-
ceived a telegram from Mr.. Cults yes
terday afternoon telling of the action
of the exchange committee.
"At A. w. Muse & Co.'S warehouse,
where the Jackson bale was sold, no
suspicion that ii was not genuine arose.
Deal Jackson had brought in the first
bale in 1899 and 1900, and both these
proved to be genuine. To Mr.. j. r.
Whitehead of the Georgia Cotton Com
pany the sample taken from the bale
appeared to be new crop cotton"

FOUND MUCH TO ADMIRE.
MiIledgeviIIe and Baldwin County
Treated HOrticulturists Well.


Maj G. NJ. Ryals. who returned yes
terday morning from Milledgeville,
where he has been attending the an
nual meeting of the State Horticul-
tural Society, brought back with him
to Savannah pleasant impressions of
the old Capital City.
The members of the society, he says,
were most cordially received and
warmly treated by the people of Mil
ledgevlle, who Wed with each other in
making their guests stay in their city
pleasant and agreeable. While the
meeting was not as largely attended
as have been some in the past, those
who were present are the men who are
in the front rank of horticulture in
Georgia and the sessions were inter-
esting and profitable. The papers that
were read were of high merit and the
discussions upon horticultural topics of
great advantage to fruit growers in
this state.
On Wednesday the members of the
society were under the special care of
the ladies of Milledgeville, headed by
Mrs. duBignon. the mother of Hon.
Fleming G. duBignon of Savannah. A
barbecue was the feature of the day
and it was delightful and enjoyable
affair.
The men were not less courteous and
hospitable and kindly than their fair
wives and daughters and sisters. The
visitors were shown something of the
agricultural, horticultural and dairying
interests of Baldwin county, and in
these found much to commend and adj
mire and little, if anything, to criti-
else.
IT never had been in Milledgevillc be-
fore" said Maj. Ryals, in conclusion.
Nobody had ever sent me and / never
had sense enough to go of my own
motion. 1t was my first visit; it will
not be my last"

THERE WE'RE FEW TO TRY.
Judge Norwood Held n short and
Quiet Criminal Session,

0HtEt ceeSIOns
There was nothing startling in the
cases that Judge Norwood disposed OF
yesterday, at the weekly criminal ses-
sion of the City Court. The bad peo-
pie of Savannah had either been good,
comparatively, that is, during the
week. or else the officers of the law
had been slower than usual in roping
them in.
There were few cases and these were
not of the sort to attract attention.
Ella johnson. who had picked up a
row on Broughton street Thursday
afternoon, in which she had cursed
out two or three citizens and attacked
the officers who tried to arrest her, was
before the court on these charges and
was given her choice of paying $50 and
costs or serving twelve months on the
gang She was quiet enough when she
was marched back to Jail.
Terence Hildebrand was sent to the
gang for eleven months. He had &C
cess 10 the residence OF Mr.. Thomas
Halligan, on West Oglethorpe avenue.
and had lifted a purse containing 500
IN money. He acknowledged the theft
al right and then Judge Norwood did
\ the rest.

There are to be no more private
