THESE NEGROES SAID Nay.
VANDERBILT WAS NOT RICH ENOUGH
TO HIRE THEM.
Weuld Not Work in the Rain Even for a
Millionaire Who Was in a Hurry TO
Give His Friends Trip.
From the Savannah News.

From the Savannah News.
All ship owners look alike to negro
wharf laborers, and even asVanderbilt
who owns million dollar yacht can't
get work out of them when the wealth
er is bad. Wharf laborers think en-
tirely too much of their health and
comfort to coal in the rain, even
though William X. Vanderbilt may be
IN a hurry>to sail aboard his magniti-
cent yacht for a cruise on-the blue
waters of the Mediterranean.
The Valiant still lies at the Seaboard
Air Line wharve3 on the north side of
the river, and she may lie there for
some days longer if the weather does
not elea". The negroes won't work in
the rain, and that is all there is to it.
An effort was made yesterday to in
duce them to do so, for it is no small
thing VIXEN multi-millionaire is in
hurry and wants to be giving his
friends a trip.
Seven hundred tons of coal are to
put aboard the yacht before she makes
her run across the pond. The fuel
has to be lightered TO the vessel and
then put in her bunkers by the hands.
All this involves coal-carrying capaci-
ty. Ordinarily the wharf hands do
not nina doing reasonable amount of
work, but they absolutely decline to
take any violent exercise in the rain.
William KS, name is potent in man,
circles, but it was simply without Ell
feet upon the darkies. They declare,
that they did not propose to carry Goa
in the rain for any man, whether tn,
owrer of a two-by-four river steamer
or the finest yacht afioat.
The commander of the yacht is in
Geographic touch with W. K, and the
latter has advised him to be in readi,
uess for the appearance of himself and
his party. just when Mr.. Vanderbilt
will arrive is not known. He himself
does not know, but wants things just
right when he does arrive. He evil
IDENTIFY intends going directly to his
yacht, as he has given orders that
would indicate such purpose.
Lying on the Savannah side of the
river is tug, ready and waiting for
the arrival of the Vanderbilt party.
The tug has been chartered by Mr.,
Vanderbilt, and she is probably cost
ing him about $50 day. She is not
working very hard and has nothing 60
do but wait for Mr.. Vanderbilt. That
gentleman thinks nothing of such a
little thing as $50 day for an indef-
mite time when the consideration of his
convenience is in the other scale.
The Valiant has small boats galore,
but Mr.. Vanderbilt doesn't want one
of them wet, and a tug is the thing for
him to use in crossing the Savannah
river. 1t 800 feet across from the
tug to his yacht, and he is paying a
swell price for ferriage. 1t will prob
ably be long before another touches
the record he will leave. Five cents is
the usual cost to get across, but it is
reported that boatmen are meditating
ar advance to Vanderbilt prices.

ENORMOUS COST OF ARMY.
Each American Soldier Costs ST.
S28 a Year.

The debate on the army bill which
has just been passed BY congress was
made potable by a statement of Mr..
Mcclellan of New York comparing the
cost of the soldier in European armies
with the cost in the United States. Ac-
cording to his figures, including the
cost of pensions, ETC., each United
States soldier involved an expense OF
S2S28, while a German soldier costs
1927 and a French soldier 1922.

 The flood of Noah's time was re-enacted on smaller scale at West End park yes terday with the Boilermakers' romping ground for the main current and the slag pile doing a turn as Ararat. When the time for battle arrived the sun shone brightly, but that sea of mud and water was enough to make the strongest ball player turn faint.
 If the elements do a little better by the Birmingham outfit today they will make 1t hot for Selma, as these many days of waiting have made Moss and his men hungry for & victory and Fender is just the man they are hunting for. The Gen. tral City crowd are growing stronger and they will furnish a snap for nobody, but those Boilermakers don't need a snap to win, and they just as soon beat the tail- enders as Powelps Pelicans.

 Manager Boles looked cheerful last night despite the gloomy days of the past week. The s100-a-day gait he is forced to pace Is enough to make a much young CT man turn grey But Boles is not a quitter, and last night he said he knew he would play today, as all the water had 1ao iro1 1f o11 itive there could be none left, as the whole thing was turned loose yesterday. If the management had been busy during the storm there was chance to make even on the $1O0 ante. At 30 cents per thousand gallons there was enough water in the park yesterday, if properly bot tied, to net a sum much in excess of the guarantee fund. If the rain continues the boilermakers may be put to work with bottles at any time and a high grade Of mineral water will be on the market.

CATARRH

Catarrh has become such a common disease that person entirely free from this disgusting complaint is seldom met with. It is customary to speak of Catarrh as nothing more serious than bad cold, a simple inflammation of the nose and throat. It is, in fact, complicated and very dangerous disease; if not at first, it very soon becomes SO. The blood is quickly contaminated by the foul secretions, and the poison through the general circulation is carried to all parts of the system.
 Salves, washes and sprays are unsatis. factory and disappointing, because they do not reach the seat of the trouble. S. s. s. does. It cleanses the blood of the poison and eliminates from the system all catar- rhal secretions, and thus cures thoroughly and permanently the worst cases.
