their holidays so fully as
49, the jackies, writes a re-
tired naval officer. The life on
board a warship is at hes,
very confined and necessarily
strict and severe. There. is the
suggestion of a prison in the steel
walls and narrow quarters and the
regularity Of the hours and meals. The
life Of the tackles is made up almost
entirely Of work with very little play.
We learn to enjoy our Christmases the.
more when at last they come round.
On Christmas, for once in the year at
least, all rules. of which there are SO
many on board a battleship, are
thrown to the winds and the jackies
are given the entire freedom of the
ship. The order which is usually CIV
en- them is that they can spend the day
exactly as they like, and take any lib
critics they choose short Of blowing up
the ship.
It sometimes happens when the ship
is in some attractive port that the
sailors prefer to spend the day on
land. and they are of course always
granted leave Of absence. It is sell
dom, however, that the ship is SO de-
serted that the cabins are, not for the
time converted into a veritable pande-
monium. There is no formal celebra-
ton Of the day ordered by the gov
eminent. The sailors are simply CIV
en- their liberty and they do the rest.
If a chaplain chances to be on board
the day is opened with some simple
religious services and there the juris-
diction Of the captain may be said to
end.

BY A NEGRO FORGER.
How "a PawnbrOker Was swindled
Out of Tidy sum.


Out of Tidy sum.
The detectives are looking for a negro
named Johnson, who is wanted for forg-
ing the name of Z. w. Belser, who lives
near Egypt. johnson appeared at the
office of one of the naval stores houses
and represented that he had been COM
missioned by Belser to make a collection
of the amount that was due the latter
by the firm. Payment was made by check
for $3.50.
johnson went to S. Blumenthal who
has a pawnshop on Jefferson street, to get
the check cashed. He could only do this
by endorsing Belsinger's name, as the
check was made payable to the latter's
order. This did not deter him. however,
and he used his penmanship to sufficient
advantage to make Blumenthal think the
signature was genuine. johnson bought a
hat for 81, received the change and disap-
peared.
That was a few days ago Belsinger
wrote the firm to know why he had re-
ceived no remittance. Then the firm in
vestigated. The Germania Bank was
notified, and the check was found upon
file. 1t Ind been paid. Blumenthal hav-
ing endorsed. A bank messenger was
sent to see Blumenthal. His agitation
was extreme when he was informed that
he had been done out of so much money,
but there was nothing for it but for him

BouRauIN AGAINST BoUnaUn.
Suit of Son Against Father ON Trial
in Superior Court.


in Superior Court.
The old, old case of Polignac Bourquin
against Gugie Bourquin was placed on
trial. for the fourth or fifth time, in the
Superior Court yesterday morning. 1t is
a case of son against father and the liti-
cation has been fought with almost in
spired bitterness from it's first inception
in the long ago.
Besides the trials it has had in the SUI
perior Court, the case has been twice to
the Supreme Court of the state. The jury
that last tried it divided the property in
dispute. giving the city property to the
son and 'the country property to the
this verdict and both filed motions for
new trials. The Supreme Court granted
the new trial asked by Polignac Bourquin
as a matter of law and that asked by
Gugie Bourquin as a matter of conven-
fence and to permit the entire case to be
gone over again before a jury.
The story of "man's inhumanity to
man." that both parties have to relate,
was gone over before the jury on yester-
day, though some of the facts that have
come out on previous trials were this
time kept in the background.
AT 2 o'clock all the evidence was in, but
counsel for the plaintiff had an afternoon
engagement, which he pleaded to be al
lowed to keep. AS there was no objection
the recess taken was until 10 o'clock this
morning, when the arguments of counsel
will be made. Judge Falligant will charge
the jury and the twelve good men and
true will begin their efforts to unravel the
tangle of law and fact the case involves.
The plaintiff is represented by Mr.. George
W. Owens and the defendant by Messrs
O'Connor, O'Byrne & Hartridge.

Matter Reported to Police, but No
Arrests Have Been Made

Mrs. S. J. Seigler of No. POI Perry
street, west, held a receipt for $40, sign
ed by the Georgia Telephone and Tele-
graph Company per Lucas the COM
pany's traffic agent. Mrs Seigler is one
of the companys subscribers and the
money was due for residence telephone.
She telephoned to the office of the tele-
phone company to say that some collector
had been annoying her and that she had
paid her bill in full and he'd a receipt for
the amount.
As soon as Mr.. Lucas saw the receipt
he pronounced it a forgery and Mrs. Seig-
Ter stated that certainly he was not the
party whom she had paid and who had
receipted the bill. She furnished Mr.. Luz
cas- with description of the party to
whom she had paid the money and the
case was placed in the hands of Detec-
tive Murphy. That officer made an in
vestigation, but was unable to secure any
information that is likely to lead to the
arrest of the guilty individual.

WREATHS FOR THE DEAD.
suH Being Made by Daughters of
the COnfederacy.

AL of yesterday morning and afternoon
and for several hours last night, the men,
bers of the local chapter of Daughters OF
the Confederacy continued the manufac-
ture of laurel wreaths, which tomorrow
will be placed upon the graves of the SOL
diers of the South.
Twelve hundred wreaths are needed, and
of this number more than two-thirds
have already been made. Several hun
dred, however, must be made to-day, and
the officers of the chapter request that
its members turn out in force to carry out
this labor of love and duty. The work is
being done at the FIRST Regiment armory.
Mrs. A. B. Hull, president of the chap
ter, has appointed the committees that
viii have charge of the decoration of the
Confederate graves in each of the ceme-
teries tomorrow. These committees will
look after the graves of those soldiers
who have no relatives in Savannah to
care for their last resting places. OF
these graves, including those in the con-
federate lot at Laurel Grove there are
more than a thousand
A special committee has charge of the
decoration of the Confederate. monument
in the Park extension. A design for the
decoration of the monument has been
drawn and 1t is hoped to make 1t very
handsome To carry out the plan a large
supply of flowers viii be needed and the
members of the committee urgently ap-
peal to the people of the city to hep them
in this regard. Those who have flowers
they wish to give the committee for this
work are asked to bring them to the mon
ument tomorrow morning.
A meeting of Winnie Davis Chapter Of
Children of the Confederacy was held at
Confederate hall yesterday afternoon, at
which the children practiced the song,
IAN Ode to the Confederate Dead which
they will sing in the Confederate lot at
Laurel Grove during the exercises of to-
morrow afternoon. The meeting was
largely attended and the song was well
sung.
The children will march tomorrow with
the veterans, forming in front of Armory
Hall, at the corner of Bull and President
streets. A carriage will follow the pa
rade from the hall to the cemetery, for
the purpose of picking up those of the
children who become tired from the
march.
The officers of the military commands
of the city, all of which will participate
in the parade tomorrow, urge the en-
ployers of the men of their commands to
permit their attendance. 1t is especially
desired that the parade shall be large
one, and only through the cooperation of
the employers can this hope be fulfilled.

HELD FOR MURDER.
Henry johnson Kept Secluded in
County Jail.

Henry johnson, colored, is still held a.
the police station on a charge of murder
| and an investigation of the case will
probably be made by the grand jury at its
session on Monday. The negro was ar
rested about two weeks ago by Mounted
Patrolman Meldrim on a charge of dlsor-
derby conduct. 1t developed Immediately
after the arrest that the prisoner was
! accused of killing a man at Bioomingdale.
! little over a year ago, although an In
quest was never held and the matter was
! apparently never investigated by the
county authorities, if indeed it was ever
reported TO the proper officials.
For some reason the authorities will not
give out any information about the negro
and the police refuse to allow
newspaper men to see the prisoner. john
son would probably be only too anxious
to unburden himself, but he is not given
that opportunity and his lawyer and the
officers ore the only ones who are permit
ted TO see him. superintendent of Ponce
Reilly says that County Detective Charl-
ton requested that no one be allowed TO
communicate with the prisoner.
A relative of the prisoner has engaged
Mr.. Railford Falligant to defend him and
the case will probably be called to the at
tention of the grand jury on Monday. If
this is not done the attorney will probably
demand a preliminary examination, the
negro being in custody now without
warrant having been issued If any one
knows the name of the man who is alleg-
ed to have been murdered, il has been
withheld from the prisoners attorney and
the public.
Mr.. Falligant's information is that his
client was robbed of 81. 40 at Bloomingdale
by two negroes named Kid Will and Nose
Brazen. Johnson demanded his money
and the negroes stated that he would
have to gamble for it. This, he says, he
refused TO do, and instead went off and
obtained a shotgun. The alleged robbers
had obtained shelter in a neighboring
house, and when Johnson returned, 1t is
claimed. opened fire on him with revolv-
ers. johnson fired two loads of buck
shot at the men and wounded both, but
according TO the story told Mr.. Faliigant,
they recovered On the following morn
ing a dead man was found in a ditch near
by and it is for this homicide, presum-
ably, that Johnson is held. Who the
dead man was is not known, and what
evidence there is to connect Johnson with
his death is also a mystery. While john
son admits shooting che two men, whom
he claims had robbed him, he says that
he knows absolutely nothing of the death
of the other man. The officers stated sew
eral days ago that Johnson had admitted
the killing, but Mr.. Falligant says that
his client only admits shooting the two
men who did not die
