~ committee in the Sub-Treas-
ury Natter
conqressman R. e. Lester, who
,.aves to-day for Washington, after a
go, davs spent in Savannah, desired to
have an understanding relative to local
measures. or those phases of general
n,oasures having a local bearing, be-
fo,o his departure. He called on Mayor
,tvers Yesterday and discussed several
matters with him.
The marine hospital, the sub-treasury
and the harbor appropriation were
brought up. Col. Lester gave the
Navor considerable encouragement in
the hospital matter. saying that he
,bought it very probable that Savan-
nah might secure the institution. The
government will want some assurance,
rol Lester said that there would be
mn objections raised to the use of the
lot at the southeast corner of York
and Abercorn streets. Should there
he none, it is very probable that it will
he decided to erect building for the
hospital there.
Mayor Myers was asked by Col. Les
Ter to make an investigation to dis
cover whether there would be any OBJ
lection to such a hospital at that To-
cation He agreed to do so, and will
take steps Immediately to that end.
The Mayor has heard nothing as yet,
he said, upon that phase Of the ques-
tion. but he does not anticipate that
there win be any objections offered.
THE Marine Hospital Service, as
understand it," said the Mayor, ''is
anxious to establish a hospital at some
city on the South Atlantic coast. II
this city does not secure the institu-
tlon some other will. An improvement
of this character should be sought
and not ALLOWED to pass us by"
Col Lester told the Mayor that he
thought it unlikely the Treasury De-
partment would agree to the establish
ment of a sub-treasury at Savannah,
because of the additional expense that
it would entail. The Mayor was not
discouraged by this, however but
urged Col. Lester to see that the bill
for the sub treasury is not reported by
the committee to which it was re-
ferred until an opportunity might be
given a Savannah delegation to ap-
pear at Washington and make a
showing on behalf of this city. Col.
Lester agreed to this.
Only incidentally was the matter of
the river and harbor appropriations
brought up. Last year the bill was
killed by fi1ibustering. The Mayor
suggested to Col. Lester that it would,
perhaps, be we'll for the friends of the
bill to begin their efforts on its behalf
earlier in order to insure it's passage.

In the renewal of passes by the Plant
System, Passenger Traffic Manager b.
w. Wrenn received a few days ago
an unique request. 1t was in the shape
of poem on "The Pass that Failed" by
Mr.. John L. Herring, editor of the Tiff
ton Gazette. 1t reads as follows:
'Tis only bit of paste-board now,
Naught left but mem'rys story!
While only three months old trow
Its head with age is hoary.
Fleet as the blush of maiden's kiss,
Or the bloom of the peach in June;
Or the wad of the gent who is learn
ing the game.
When he opens the pot" too soon.
Gone, like the check cashed Christmas
day,
Or the tx" you loaned a friend !"
Or the convicts faith in his human
kind,
It's limit" has reached the end.
Representing nothing in the wide world
now.
But cypher in the whole creation,
Though from Savannah's Fair to
Tampas palms
Twas once the key to the situation.

NEGRO SERIOUSLY STABBED.
John Anderson BADLY wounded in
Carson's Stables.

CarSOn's stables.
John Anderson, negro, was Sc
riously stabbed at an early hour this
morning in Luke Carson's stables. No.
125 Broughton street, east. The stab
bing was done by a negro named Burke,
who managed to make his escape and
who had not been located by the police
up to a late hour.
Anderson was cut in the left side and
in the back. He lost great deal of
blood, and was suffering much pain
when sent to the police station house.
A physician was summoned and the
wounds were dressed. 1t was an
nounced that Anderson had been Sc
riously cut, and every effort will be
made to get Burke.
The police were unable to learn a
great deal about the trouble, and had
to rely on the statement made by An
derson. He claimed that the assault
was without the slightest provocation
and that he did not even know the
man who used the knife. Anderson
stated that he saw a party of men
playing cards in the stable, which ad-
joins the Marshall House, and that he
looked in. He charges that without
cause or warning Burke jumped up
and began cutting him. The police are
inclined to the opinion that the cut
ting was the result of a dispute over
the game of cards.

LOOKING FOR A STATION.
DIR. Herty Will Investigate at ociIIa
and other Places.


DIR. Charles H. Herty, until recently
adjunct professor of chemistry in the
University of Georgia, and now in the
forestry bureau at Washington, has
gone from Savannah to Ocilla, where
he will make an inspection with the
view of ascertaining whether that is
desirable place for the establishment
of a station for experiments with
the culture of pine trees. DR.. Herty
was in consultation with Savannah
naval stores dealers, among them Mr.
John r. Young, about hissnew avoca-
ton, and he was advised of several
places they regarded as offering ad-
vantages for an experiment station.
From Ocilla DIR. Herty. following this
advice, will probably visit several
places on the Plant System to make
a comparison of the advantages all
may offer. 1t is his purpose to estab
lish such an experiment station in
Georgia
There has been no appropriation
made for such a station. The depart
ment failed to put it into it's budget
but next year the expense will be pro-
vided for and the station established
Mr.. Young and other naval stores men
think well of the project, which will
mean the dissemination of scientific in
formation as to the best methods of
pine tree culture, of preparing turpen-
tine and rosin, of boxing for naval
stores and preserving the trees.
