DOn't Spare All the Trees-

There is no slight ignorance in the
cry that Is SO often raised with regard
to the removal or cutting down of trees
in the parks, and it has recently been
displaying itself with certain trees
that have been already, or are to be,
got rid of in the course of carrying
out the Piccadilly widening, AS q
matter OF fact, most of them were SO
close together, that their branches in,
termingled, and any one acquainted
with the subject knows that this is
most Injurious to the proper growth
OF the individual tree. The truth Is
that in the public parks. as In most
private properties, plantations require,
from time to time, TO be thinned out
1t Is rumored that it has been found
necessary To remove some 100 odd
trees from the gardens Of Buckingham
Palace, and in Lord Rathmore's time
drastic measures had to be taken with
the overgrowth in the Chestnut ave,

results that are now abundantly an,

An indication of the trend of public
opinion In France may be seen in the
movement which Is now on foot in
that country to abolish all titles of no.
bility in the republic. The opponents
OF titles Of the nobility in France
point TO the fact that France is Il re-
public, and argue that Il nobility Is as
much out of place there as il is in tho
United States. After the general cleo
ton a bill will be introduced in the
French Parliament, declaring all titles
illegal; and a strong effort will he
made to pass the measure. 1t Is esti.
mated that about half a million
Frencmen prefix the title OF Count
to their names; and it is certain that
a large proportion OF these titles are
assumed. and have no significance il

ers. The attempt will be made TO ap

Both Come in Bottles.

The father was testing his little
boys knowledge of the story of Noah.
which he had carefully rehearsed.
The boy had been thinking hard, says
the New York Times, and his answer
to the first question showed that he
had at least the virtue OF originality.
Now" said papa, can you tell me
how Noah knew that the waters had
gone down."
The boy hesitated a minute, as IL
seeking for the proper words to ex-
press himself; then he said:

down because the dove came back

Olives ana pickles were synonymous
terms in the small boys mind for

which he did not like.

AT THE THEATER
&~S~S~S~ SeSos@@

Black Patti and her company Of
ebon-hued fun makers entertained au-
diences at two performances at the
Tkeater yesterday There was fair
sized audience in the orchestra, but the
balcony and gallery was packed and
jammed with the colored population
that turned out to pay homage to
their dusky queen OF song. Black Patti
has rich voice, which was heard to
advantage in several selections.
With the exception Of the first part,
which contains too much horse-play,
the show is good. Mack Allen, the
slack wire equilibrist, did several dar-
ing feats on the wire, and was literally
applauded for the excellence of his
work Rucker, 1.-THE Alabama Bios

Grand opera Coming.

The Gordon-Shay Grand Opera Com
pany is to present Carmen on Oct
II. The company has a repertoire of
seven operas, but Carmen" has been
asked for by some of the local music
lovers. Miss Hyland, who is in advance
of the company will begin a personal
soicita ton to-day to list names of
those who may desire to see the COM
rany of fifty excellent voices render
grand opera. The Norfolk Landmark
says of the company in Carmen:
"At night BiZet's beautiful opera of
Carmen was put on, with Miss Rose
Cecilia Shay in the title role, Helen
Noldi as Micaela, Achille Albert as
Escamilo, Eloise Bishop as Mercedes,
and John DunsmoTe as Don Carlo. This
was the best performance of the en-
gagement. Miss Shay sang and acted
the role of Carmen with charming
grace. In personal beauty and in sweet
ness of song she even surpassed the
ideal PRESERVATION of the character, and
it is not within our recollection that
any other actress, in a similar role,
ever so easily wons the enthusiastic adj
miration of a Norfolk audience. Miss
Shay seemingly inspired by the occa-
sion, sang the role with such grace
and beauty that her auditors were wild
with delight from the opening to the
close of the performance, and she won
favor for her really artistic work. She
sang with expression and power, and
what else the character of Carmen
Possesses she found and gave it,"

CHARGES ALL DENIED.
Railroads Say They Don't Discrim-
mate Against Triton.


mate Against Triton.
The answer of the Louisville and
Nashville Railroad Company and the
other railway corporations, against
which the Interstate Commerce Com
mission has brought suit to prevent al
legged rate determinations in favor of
Albany and Valdosta against Triton,
was filed in the United States Circuit
Court yesterday.
The answer denies practically all
material allegations made in the petit
ton of the plaintiff. The principal
charge is that freight from New York
and other points in the North and East
to Triton is charged for at the same
rate as freight to Valdosta and Albany,
although the distance travelled is ma
terially less. This is admitted by the
answer, but it is contended that freight
for these several points is not handled
under like conditions.
The general denial to the charge of
Illegal discrimination of any kind is
made, and it is even denied that the
railways interested have even violated
the orders of the commission. Certain
ly, it is averred, they have violated no
section or provision of the interstate
commerce act, upon which the suit now
pending IS based.
The answer is filed on behalf of the
defendants by Ed. Baxter of Nashville.
Several of the lines entering Savannah,
including the Central Seaboard, Allan
tic Coast Line and others are included
in the arrangement of the commission
and have been made parties defendant.

SAVANNAH BOYS
ON GEORGIA TEAM
How the Indications Point Toward Places on
University Eleven

The reports from the University TO
the effect that Georgia would have a
good team on the gridiron this fall do
not seem to have been unfounded. Sew
eral Savannah men who have recently
returned from Athens say that the in
stitution viii. have the best football
team in the history of the University,
and by persistent work can win the
championship of the South this year.
The men recognize that there is lots
of hard work before them. The reports
coming from Clemson that nearly one
hundred men appeared in uniform as
applicants for the team, while a trife
discomforting, made them the more de-
termined. Coach Reynolds is pursuing
the policy of practice beats talk" and
has admonished his men not to talk
about the probable strength of the
team. 1t has leaked out. however. that
the students at the University are jub-
liant over the prospects for a winning
season.
Out of fifteen men chosen for the
training table, Savannah can claim
three, Frank P Mcintyre, Weyman
Harmon and John Monahan. The first
named is looked upon as the most
promising candidate for the position of
full back, while the other two are try
ing for quarter. Monahan is very light
and as Coach Reynolds is bent on turn
ing out team fifteen pounds to the
man heavier than last years, there is
some chance of Monahan losing the po-
sition which he played last year so
Readily.
Something of the old and new men
will be interesting to the Georgia" men
in the city, who will follow the fortunes
of the team during the approaching
season. The fact that there are sew
eral of the men of last years team
who will not be able to make the team
this fall is in itself an encouraging
criterion to the strength of the team
which will wear the red and black. OF
the old team, every man and substi-
tute, except one, returned this fall OF
these, the men who are practically sure
of places on the team are Capt. Ridley.
Beaver, Nix, Baxter, Dickinson and
Ketron The first three named have
gained twenty pounds each during the
summer. Capt. Ridley was prevented
from playing last season through an
unfortunate accident to his knee, but
he will be in the game this year, and
should make a place on the aIl-South-
ern team, as he is one of the best play
ers in the South He weighs It's pounds,
is feet in hight, and has a record of
10 2-5 for the hundred yards. He is
also sure punter.

WANTS HIS FULL SHARE.
Engineer of Tug Dissatisfied With
Amount of Salvage.

Engineer of Tug Dissatisfied with
Amount of Salvage.
A libel against the British steamship
Nyassa was filed yesterday in the
United States District Court. The Ii
bellant is Michael Collins. engineer of
the tug Jacob Paulsen, who seeks to
secure for himself what he regards as
proper compensation for services per-
formed by him, while aboard the
Paulsen, in extricating the Nyassa
from a dangerous berth on the sands
of Ossabaw Island.
Strachan & Co., the agents of the
steamship at this port, the Propeller
Towboat Company and Jacob Paulsen,
it's president, are made defendants to
the libel.
The Nyassa ran aground on Feb. "a
1902, and it was only after strenuous
exertions, in which three tugs partic-
ipated. that she was pulled off the
sands and brought into the port of
Savannah. 1t is alleged that had it
not been for the eXertions of the sal
vors she would have been totally de-
stroyed.
1t is charged that the steamship
and it's cargo of pyrites were worth
$250000, and that as the result of a
compromise between the owners of the
Nyassa and the owner of the tugs, the
sum of $12.500 has been paid for the
salvage.
OF this amount the libellant has only
been offered what he refers to as IAN
insignificant sum of money for the
highly hazardous and eminently sue
cessful service performed by himself
and his fellow seamen. He claims
that he is entitled to a percentage of
half the salvage money represented by
the ratio borne by his monthly salary
to the total monthly salaries of all the
men employed aboard the tugs. This
sum he computes at $612.79.
