WANT BRICK PAVEMENT.
GsstOn Street Property Owners De-
clnring for That Material.

Gsston Street Property Owners De-
cInring for That Material.
The replies that are being received by
the director of public works to the notices
sent out to CASTOR street property own
ers relative to the paving of that street
indicate a preference for vitrified brick.
Mr.. Gadsden said yesterday that the ma
jority of those from whom replies have
been received have declared for brick.
He has not found any general objection
to the proposed paving, nor does he think
she'll the material that should be used to
restore the street to good condition. Shell,
he said, has been proven undesirable for
paving, and It is being abandoned in all
cities where 1t has been used.
If the property owners along Castor
street should combine against paving, the
city would doubtless recognize their pro-
test. las matters seem to be shaping up,
however, Mr.. Gadsden said, the indica-
tions are that the majority will be for
paving. The policy of the city has been
90 give heed to the wishes of property
owners in paving, save in cases where t
is desired to pave some much travelled
thoroughfare, such as Indian street.

was sufficient to cause her immediate re-
turn to the stables. Anyone else in the
aggregation might have shouted at Queen
until they grew red in the face without
the desired result.
Queen, too, knows how to get water for
herself, and her keeper is never trou-
bled in this way. She uses her trunk on
the faucet of a hydrant without parti-
Gle of trouble. and unlike most elephants,
never fails to shut off the supply after
she has quenched her thirst. Queen has
been bathed twice during the winter, the
last bath having been given her day or
two ago. An elephants bath, by the way,
consists of painting the hide with an oily
mixture to prevent it's cracking.
This week the circus men will be busy
putting the touches to the paraphernalia
and getting everything in readiness for
the opening of the season. Thursday
the new tent will be erected and
a dress rehearsal, as it were,
will be given. An entire performance will
be gone through so that there will be no
hitch when the ticket wagon opens for
business. The red lemonade and the pin
der men, the concert people and the saw
dust will be on hand Saturday and there
will be nothing missing that should be
with first-class circus. "a street parade
will probably be given Saturday morning
graphs have been printed, the city has
been billed from the Eastside to the
Westside and the advance men have been
placed on the road. The only thing to
be done now is to have the ring-master
crack his whip and set the performers
and animals in motion.
The wagons and chariots have been done
over and look as though they had Just
arrived from the factory. This is one of
the most expensive parts of a circus and
a fancy band wagon costs from S700 to
$500. The large wagon with mirrors
owned by Sells & Gray cost those show
men $1,000, and the work done on it in
this city cost $685. 1t is finished in gold
and silver and is little short of gorgeous.
The cages, too, have been retouched and
will be ready for the animals on Thurs
day. The transfer will be made on that
day and the beasts of the forest will jump
from their winter houses into those in
which they are seen by the pubic. No
danger is attached to the transfer and
the animals appear to relish the change
in quarters.

DIR. wILLITs' LECTURE.
"sunshine" to End the Series of the
Savannah Lecture Course.

savannah Lecture
Dr. A. A. Willis, "the apostle OF sun
shine" will lecture on Sunshine" Tues
day night at $50 o'clock at the Guards
Hall This will be the last of the Sc
ries of entertainments arranged for the
season by the Savannah Lecture Course
The other lectures have been uniformly
well attended. AS DR.. Willis is well
known here, and a general favorite with
all that have heard him lecture, there is
every reason to believe that this lecture
will be quite as well, IL not better, at
tended than any of the others.
1t was of sunshine that Rev. DR..
Hoge wrote: 1.-The lecture of Dr. Willis
last night was to those who were fortu-
nate enough to enjoy it one of those rare
treats that satisfy and charm without
alloy. No man can lecture on sunshine
and fill his audience with pleasureable
emotions without being full of sunshine
himself 1t showed itself in a counte-
nance of remarkable mobility, rejecting
in its play of expression every varying
emotion that he described, in a sweet and
sympathetic voice, in mind garnished
with the choicest gems of literature and
sparkling with wit and flashing
with racy anecdote; but, above all, in a
heart that was full of kindness and love
for his fellow men, that enjoyed all the
good things of life, with gratitude to
the giver, and desired to share them with
every one else. A lecture like this de-
lights the mind and charms the taste,
and makes one feel not only happier, but
better"

WAITING ON MIR. PARSONS.
Gwinnett street Crossing Matter Is
Hanging Fire.

The special committee appointed by the
Mayor to confer with officials of the
Plant System and the Savannah, Thun-
derbolt and Isle of Hope Railway, rela-
tive to the adjustment of the grade
crossing at Gwinnett street, is waiting
upon President George Parsons of the
latter company. A meeting with Off
cials of the Plant System was held some
days ago, and President Erwin of that
company made known its position. The
matter was then understood to be with
the Savannah, Thunderbolt and Isle Of
Hope Railway, and it was expected that
Mr.. Parsons would have made an an
noncement ero this.
The aldermen on the committee believe
that the grade crossing will be abolished
and that the conferences yet to be held
will eveatuate in the construction OF the
subway for which plans were drawn by
Alderman Dixon and approved by Off
cials.
