STARTLING FACTS, Reau them.

There is naturally no such thing as an incurable
disease. Disease becomes incurable by neglect
and improper treatment. Improper treatment may
damage the system well cause loss of time, and
l. therefore rs dangerous neglect Improper
treatment is due rather to inexperence than to in
ability or ignorance If your disease IL chronic and

experience Of the specialist Many cases pronounced

ALL IN A SINGLE DAY.
The Parties Were Married and Then
Separated.

strange suit for divorce was filed yes
terday in the office of the clerk OF the
Superior Court. 1t is that of James A.
kesler against Minnie Kesler; desertion
for more than three years is the ground
alleged for the grant of the divorce.
The petition recites that the parties
were married on Oct. 3, 1897, and that on
Oct. 3, 1897, the defendant wilfully and
without cause deserted her husband. lie
has struggled along under this weight of
sorrow for more than three years. and
now he wants the separation made legal.
He is represented by Messrs. Wilson &
Rogers.
A marriage and a desertion of the hus-
band by the wife, all on the same day. is
somewhat unusual 1t sometimes happens
that the newly-made husband. under spe-
cial circumstances, deserts the wife. but
it is rather extraordinary that in this
case it should have been the other way
about
Another suit for total divorce was that
of Sallie H. Douglass. against Robert b.
Douglass, also filed yesterday in the SUI
perior Court The circumstances are some
what similar to the Kesler case as the
parties were married on April Is, 1897 and
according to the petition of the plaintiff
the husband deserted and abandoned her
on May ii Of the same year.

POOR FARM Is NEEDED.
Mayor Myers Views as to Best Means
to Help the INDECENT.

A mass meeting for the organization of
a charitable association will be held next
Tuesday afternoon at 4:3O o'clock in the
Council Chamber at the City Exchange
Rev. DR. 1. p Mendes, Rev ]. L. Soul
ly, rector OF st. PauFs, and Rev. Robert
VanDeventer, pastor of the Duffy Street
Baptist Church, called on Mayor My
ers at his Office in the Exchange yester-
day and made the request for the meeting,
asking that the Mayor call It.
Mayor Myers readily acquiesced. The
gentlemen discussed the prospective or
ganization for a short while. The Mayor
found occasion to advise that the mayor
be not made president of the association.
He said that IT is usually, or has been,
the case that the mayor of the city is
business man, whose time, when not oc-
cupied with affairs of the city, is devoted
90 his own. Little opportunity is left him
for the direction of the work of char
liable association. The ministers thought
well of the Mayors advice, and 1t is i'm
probable that he will be elected presi-
dent
1t would be impossible, Mayor Myers
said, for a mayor to give a charitable
association the attention it would need.
He would soon find that. perforce, he had
become a sort of figurehead. occupying a
purely titular position. Some one should
be at the head of such an organization
who has ample time to devote to its man
agement.
A poor farm, said Mayor Myers. is what
Savannad needs. Chatham county hasn't
one. The county farm is worked by Grim
inals. There are a great many INDECENT
persons in the city who should be cared
for. and 90 the mayor the best means of
providing for them seems to be the es-
Adjustment of farm, where ample
shelter might be furnished. Those able
to do so should have work upon the farm
given them. Labor should be a condition
OF their being benefciaries of whatever
association or corporation might sustain
the farm, as it is mistaken charity to
support in idleness those who can but will
not work.
Misdiredted aims could be turned into
a proper course, Mayor Myers thinks,
through a properly managed and properly
maintained association. Supplies. rather
than money, should be given. An intel
ligent and systematic extension of char
lily would work great imrovement in the
condition of the mendicant class now
found in Savannah
Coming within his observation as the
chief executive of the city administration
Mayor Myers finds more mendicants of
late than are usual They seek the EX-
change to secure his help toward getting
transportation to leave the city or for
some other purpose. Citizens generally
make the same observation. as the streets
are rather populous with the lame, the
halt and the blind, all seeking to excite
public sympathy and receive public char
ity Three or four cripples are unusual
ly persistent and aggressive in their ef-
forts to extract nickles or dimes from
passers-by. They have such a husky"
look that few are moved to compassion
as il would seem that the loss of a foot
would not incapacitate a man from earn
ing some sort of "A living

GAME WOULDN'T GO HERE.
warren Day Couldn't Buy Goods in
savannah.

The announcement from Atlanta yester-
day that Warren Day had been arrested
in Ariosta, Ala, by Detective Sanford
and taken to Atlanta to answer the charge
of cheating and swiudling, preferred by
John Sivey & Co., from whom he had
purchased $500 worth OF dry goods, was
interesting reading to several Savannah
dry goods men.
Day endeavored to work the same game
here few days ago. He walked into Leo
pold Adler's store with Mrs. Day. as pros
pective buyers of large bill of goods.
Mr.. Adler's best man took charge of the
customers. When the bill ran up into
the hundreds it became interesting. and
when. after two days of looking and pric-
ing. the couple had bought 81 600 worth OF
goods. the proprietor was consulted Mr..
Day wanted the goods shipped at once.
When he was informed that he would be
required to put up $3.50 to insure freight,
he hesitated, but said he would have the
money the following morning. Instead
of producing the money however, he told
Mr. Adler that he had changed his mind
and directed that the goods be shipped
with the bill of lading attached
Mr. Adler began to suspect the customer
and at this juncture declined to deal with
him. Day then called upon Max Solo
mons, and later upon Eckstein. both of
whom had been advised of Adlers expert
ence with the Albanian, and neith-
er sold him. Day remained
in Savannah few days and disappeared
evidently without buying Mr. Adler said
Day was an innocent-looking man, and
was a thorough countryman.

RICE WAS JOHNNY SHIELDS.
Man Who Bested POrretto Fought
Under Assumed Name.


1t will be news to the sports and pa
irons of the ring to learn that it was
Johnny Shields of New York and not Aus
tin Rice of New London, Conn, who beat
Peter Porretto of Cincinnati in the glove
contest at the Theater last Monday night
Rice sulked at the eleventh hour, and
Fred Fox. mis- manager, brought Shields
on in his stead.
Fred Fox and his protege, Austin Rice
of fistic fame, had a falling out in the
early part of last week, which is not an
uncommon occurrence between a fighter
and his manager. but in this instance
the breach occurred at an inopDortune
time as Fox and Rice were to sail for
Savannah on Thursday last, where Rice
was matched to fight Pete Porretto of
Cincinnati under the auspices of the
Austral Athletic Club.
When the rupture came. Fox was at his
wits end to know how to extricate him
self from the dilemma, as the club had
already forwarded him tickets and made
all arrangements to pull off the fight on
Monday. He Immediately communicated
with Oscar Gardner, the famous Omaha
Kid" but was unable to secure him. as
he had a fight on He made unsuccessful
attempts to get one or two other good
feathers" and at last thought of john
pound fighter, whom he had seen perform
on two or three occasions, each time
winning out handily and showing good
timber.
1t did not take Fox long TO locate
Shields and make the necessary arrange
ments, as Shields had nothing on for an
early date. Now all of this time the
Austral Athletic Club knew nothing of
the switch" and was confident that Rice
In IN 40 and
vertised. The clubs manager had let
ter head with Rice's cut on it, and when
he saw Fox's man Sunday, he looked him
over and told Fox that Rice did not re-
semble his picture and intimated that he
thought that it was not Austin Rice. FOX
averred that it was Rice, and said that
the picture that the cut was made from
was taken when Rice had trained down to
112 pounds and was thin. He called upon
several of the passengers who had seen
his man box on board the Kansas City
coming down. and they all said that he
was a wonderful little fighter. This SEEM
ed to convince the manager and things
went on to a successful termination, as
far as the first was concerned and
Shields demonstrated the fact that he is
an able exponent of the manly art.
Fox did not make known Shields iden-
titv TO the clubs manager until about an
hour before ne and Shields sailed on the
Kansas City for New York yesterday,
when he made the above confession and
claimed under the circumstances that he
did not have any scruples, as he brought
a good man who did the trick just as
well as Rice might.
Shields claims that he has only been
boxing twenty-one months. Whether or
rot that is true, he is a wonderful little
fighter. and game to the core. 1t is safe
IN sav that if he should fight here again
which seems almost certain. he will fight
before a crowded house.
Shorty Jenkins will probably meet
Shields at an early date, after which
Shields will fight Oscar Gardner, with
whom he is now negotiating.

IN HONOR OF GEN. LEE
SAVANNAH TROOPS WILL PARADE
on HIS BIRTHDAY.
COL. MELDRIM TO COMMAND
ORDERS RELATIVE TO FORMATION
AND LINE OF MARCH.

Busiest Day of the Week With
Merchants-This VIII Decrease the

panies Getting OF From Work.
Company Commanders, However,
Presentation of Loving Cup to Col.
LawtOn and Entertainment of
OgIethOrpe Light Infantry to Fol-
low Parade.
The anniversary of the birth of Gen. r.
e. Lee will be observed in Savannah in
the customary manner. All the military
commands in the city will parade, and
unless the fact that the 18th falls on Sat
urday interferes, there will be large
turnout of the soldiers.
Many OF the members OF the companies
fear thar they will be unable to get off
for the parade. as Saturday is their bus
lest day. 1t win probably be difficult for
members 40 get off when there are two
or more of them employed by the same
firm. The company commanders, how
ever, are aiding those who are meeting
with difficulty, and it is possible that a
larger representation of the strength of
the commands than has been expected
will turn out.
Cob p. W. Meldrim, commanding the
First Cavalry, will, by virtue of his SEN
iority, be in command. Col Meldrim is
sued his orders yesterday afternoon. The
organizations participating in the parade
will be the First Infantry, the Savannah
Volunteer Guards, the Naval Militia, the
Chatham Artillery, the Georgia Hussars
and the Lawton Cadets
The line will form on the south side of
OSelthorpe avenue facing north, with the
right resting on Drayton street. The for
nation will be completed in time for the
line to move at $3.50 o'clock The First In
fantry, with the Lawton Cadets attach
ed will head the line, while the Guards
and the Naval Militia, both acting as in
fantry, will follow. Then will come the
cavalry and the artillery
The following will be the line of march:
North on Drayton to Congress, to Bar
nard, to Broughton, to Bull, to CASTOR
to the parade ground. Line will be form
ed on the parade ground, facing east,
with the right resting on Park avenue At
the conclusion of the parade the com
mands will be turned over to their re
spective commanders.
After the parade, If Col. A. r. Lawton
should then be in the city, the officers
of the First Infantry will assemble at
his home to present the loving cup they
voted him. The cup has arrived and is
at Messrs. Theus Brothers 1t is very
handsome and win be a valuable and
beautiful token of the officers esteem and
admiration for Col. Lawton and their re-
greet upon his retirement from the com
mand of their regiment.
Another event that is to mark the
conclusion of the parade will be the visit
of the Oglethorpe Light Infantry to the
! home of Gen. W. w. Gordon, No. 4
| Oglethorpe avenue. east. where they will
! be entertained by their commander. Capt.
G.. A. Gordon. The parade will be the
! last upon which Capt. Gordon will appear
as commanding officer of the Oglethorpes,
as he has been elected lieutenant colonel
of the regiment.
