HAMLET WITHOUT PRINCE.
Judge Speer's Absence Prevented
Happenings in L. s. Court

Judge Speer's Absence Prevented
Happenings in L. s. Court
There was no answer filed on be-
half of Green and Gaynor or their
bondsmen in the United States Dis
.trfct Court yesterday. Thomas B.
Fielder, of Atlanta, was here to enter
an appearance for the defendants and
this he did, but he filed no answer
whatever to the courts rule to show
cause why the bonds should not be
finally forfeited.
Possibly Mr. Fielder was moved to
take this action by the fact that
there was no judge present to whom
he could offer his reasons. The court
was opened in due form of law, with
the deputy clerk and deputy marshal
in their places, but it was like the
play of Hamlet with Hamlet left
out Judge Speer was not on hand.
1t was a. very quiet and uneventful
session, for absolutely nothing what
ever was done. Ed and Will Gaynor
did not show up, but NJ. A. Connolly
was on hand for a few minutes. 1t is
probable the absent defendants had
been informed that Judge Speer would
not be present and did not appear for
this reason-because they knew the
cases against them would not be taken
up.
The further proceedings in the mat
ter of the bends of B. D. Greene and
John F. Gaynor will be watched with
interest. The government will of
course declare they have been forfeited

LIGHT BOOZE
Do You Drink Its

A minister's wife had quite a tussle
with coffee and her experience is in
teresting. She says: During the
two years of my training as nurse
while on night duty l became addicted
to coffee drinking, for between mid
night and four in the morning, when
the patients were asleep, there was
little to do except make the rounds,
and it was quite natural that 1 shold
want a good. hot cup of coffee about
that time. 1t stimulated me and 1
could keep awake better.
After three or four years of coffee
drinking l became, a nervous wreck
and thought that 1 simply could not
live without my coffee. All this time
l was subject to frequent bilious at
tacks, sometimes so severe as to
keep me in bed for several days.
After being married Husband
begged me to leave off coffee for he
feared that it had already hurt me
almost beyond repair. so l resolved to
make an effort and release myself
from the hurtful habit. l began TAX
ing Postum Food Coffee and for a
few days felt the languid, tired feel
ing from the lack of the stimulant
but l liked the taste of Postum and
that answered for the breakfast bev-
erage all right.
Finally ! began to feel clearer
headed and had steadier nerves. Az
ter years use of Postum ! now feel
like new woman. Have not had
any bilious attacks since / left off

BOTH SIDES Determined.
All Hope Abandoned of Early End
to Augusta strike.


An Augusta visitor to the city who is
conversant with the strike situation in
the Augusta mills, said yesterday that
the mill people and merchants have
given out hopes of an early settlement
of the alleged differences between the
operators and the mills.
After a stay of two weeks in Au-
gusta, in a fruitless effort to bring
about an amicable settlement, Sec
rotary Hibburt of the National
Textile Union of Fall River, Mass, left
Tuesday for Washington to work the
situation from the North. He believes
he can bring sufficient influence to bear
on what Northern capital there is in
vested in the local mills of Augusta to
get them again in operation.
While the strikers are perfectly quiet
and orderly there is evidence to some
extent among them of a gradual dis
satisfaction at their enforced idlenesS.
Among their ranks the expression of
opinion is that the strike will not be
brought to a close before October.
While there have been no failures as
yet in West End, the mill district, the
merchants are growing very blue and
do not hesitate to say they cannot long
survive in many instances under the
present strain.
Both sides are equally stubborn. The
mills contend that to grant the demand
of the operatives would be putting
themselves in line for countless future
troubles, and to obviate this they in
tend to fight the strike to the end.

CHANGE IN JEWISH SABBATH.
Something World Will Never See.
Says DIR. /. r. Mendes.

Something World Will Never See.
Says DIR. /. r. Mendes.
No little interest has been excited
throughout the country by the recent
meeting of the Jewish Rabbits in New
Orleans, and the charge that they had
considered the advisability of changing
the Sabbath observance from the Jew
ish Sabbath to the Christian Sunday.
The report that such a measure was
being considered was so general that
at least one congregation in New York
felt called on to offer a protest, and did
so in no uncertain terms. Rev DR..
l. p. Mendes, rabbi of the Temple
Mickva Israel of Savannah, thinks that
the whole trouble has arisen from mis-
conception of the question that is to be
brought before the convention at New
Orleans.
To prove that such is the case he
cited an article from Jewish Com
ment as follows:
AN impression had gone forth-in
fact the first duty of Rabbi Silverman
on his arrival Monday morning was to
counteract the statement-that the con-
ference was going to discuss the pro-
priety of changing the Sabbath to the
LOTu LAY. Inc error, II any was due
to Leucht, Noorsanger and others, who
favor such procedure, when the con-
ference advertised the fact extensively
that the question of a better Sabbath
observance was to be considered-and
nothing more"
The real question to be brought be-
fore the convention, Dr. Mendes said,
is not that of a change of the day of
worship, but how to secure a better
observance of the Jewish Sabbath how
to counterfeit the increasing disregard
of it by business men who keep their
stores open, and by society people, who
give and attend social functions on
that day.
Therefore, some few rabbs, DIR. Men
des said, who have conducted services
in their synagogues on Sunday, as well
as Saturday, their idea being 10 reach
with the Sunday services those who
did not attend the regular ones, on the
day before; and, at least, one rabbi,
Emil Hirsch of Chicago, tried Sunday
services alone but has been forced to
admit they have been failures.
Far from the Jewish people chang
ing to the Christians day of worship, p"
said DR.. Mendes, the trend is entire
ly the other way, as is shown by the
growing number of Seven-Day Advent
list and by the views of other people,
not identified with that sect, but who
yet think the Jewish day of worship
the right one. For the Jewish people
ever to change their day of worship
he concluded, lis a thing that the world
will never see

IN HONOR OF GEN. HARDEE.
New Orleans to Name a boulevard
in His Memory.

in His Memory.
The city of New Orleans is planning
to honor the memory of Gen. William
]. Hardee, one of the bravest generals
of the Confederate army, by naming
after him new boulevard which his
nephew City Engineer Hardee of
New Orleans, has outlined to connect
the principal parks of the city, Audo-
bon and the City Park. The plan
proposed is a broad and costly one and
provides for a magnificent speedway
three and one-fourth miles long, con-
Meeting the parks of the city and which
in time would become one of the great
residence thoroughfares of New
Orleans.
The Picayune in it's advocacy of the
name of Hardee avenue says: This
magnificent thoroughfare could bear no
more appropriate name than that of
Hardee avenue, in honor of that sp.en-
did Confederate general William j.
Hardee who was known in the West
ern army as Old Reliable. always ready
with his corps and always successful
with his line of battle. The merit of
Gen. William ]. Hardee was only
equalled by his modesty.s He was often
importuned by Mr. Davis to take COM
H1dHQ Oh lHG EIIly VI IlC ACliAiNS0OSS
and if he had consented, the fortunes
of war might have been different. He
was always ready, always reliable and
Invariably successful. The army was
devoted to him and had its voice pre-
vailed he would have held the place
afterwards given to Bragg, Johnston
and Hood. In the end he might have
failed as an army commander, but his
record as a corps general, impressed
the troops with confidence in his ca
pacity They were as devoted to him
in the West as the troops in the East
were devoted to Stonewall Jackson.
The name of Hardee will never be for
gotten by the people of the South; and
the old soldiers and their sons, especial
ly those who served with him at Shi-
lob, would be proud to have the pro-
posed boulevard named in memory of
his magnificent services"
The honor bestowed by New Orleans
would also be shared by Savannah for
it holds the name of Hardee in as much
reverence as does every old soldier of
the Confederacy who followed his flag
and fought under his command.
Gen. Hardee' was an uncle of Maj.
C. S. Hardee. city treasurer of Savan-
nah, and Mr.. Hardee, city engineer of
New Orleans, who has planned the pro-
posed boulevard is a nephew of Maj.
Hardee.

parture is only tempered by the knowl-
edge that he leaves to accept a much
better position, and one that has an ex-

THEIR AUNT is GUARDIAN.
Custody of Minor Children of George
Meyer Given to Mrs. HeImken.

OANeh W
The custody of two of the minor chill
dren of the late George Meyer was
awarded by Judge McAlpin, in the
Court of Ordinary yesterday, to Mrs.
Mary Helmken, their aunt, after a
spirited contest in which Mrs. Helmken
was opposed by Adolph E. Meyer.
The children are Walter Rudolph and
George Herman Meyer and are the off
spring of Mr.. Meyers first marriage.
Their mother was a sister of Mrs.
Helmken. To their aunt's application
for letters of guardianship a caVeat
had been filed by Adolph z. Meyer,
their fathers brother, who in support
of his claims to their custody alleged
that ii was their fathers wish and
their own that he should become their
guardian.
The matter was thoroughly investi-
gated by Judge McAlpin and the
claims of the rival aspirants for the
custody and control of the children and
their estate examined in every detail.
He was controlled in his decision large
ly by the facts that Mr.. Meyer adj
mitted that there would be no room in
his own house for the children and
that. in the event of letters of guar
d1anShlp being granted to him, he
would be compelled to leave them with
their step mother, and that Mrs. Helm
ken stated it was her intention to
charge nothing for the board of the
children during their minority.
The caveat to the application for let
tiers of guardianship was therefore
overruled and the letters granted to
Mrs. Helmken. The children are IL
and 9 years old, respectively. They
We're not present at the hearing, as
Judge McAlpin decided them incapable
of expressing a legal preference as TO
their guardian.

it is probable that a big rally will be
held there.
The South Side Citizens Club will
hold it's meeting tonight in Kizers

The meeting is advertised as a grand
rally of the South Siders, and promi-
nent speakers will address the mem

ers are promised those who attend. At
the same time the South Side Union

At yesterdays session of Police Court
Lottie Delaney, a negro woman was
arraigned on two charges. She was ar
rested Monday night by Patrolman
Miller for being drunk and cursing on
the street, but secured bail after she
had sobered up.
Several hours before Police Court
convened she was again arrested by
Patrolman Dwyer on a more serious
charge. 1t was alleged that she re-
lieved Steve Rawls, colored, of $40, and
the evidence adduced at the hearing
warranted the Recorder in demanding
her for trial in the City Court. On the
charge of disorder the woman was
fined $40 or thirty days on the chain
gang.
Joe Miller, the negro thief who es-
capped from the changing and stole a
bicycle, was remanded for trial in the
City Court for larceny and for making
his escape.
Rosa Barrow, colored, was remanded
for trial in the City Court for the lar
ceny of a pair of shoes.
The case against Mary Spencer, a
negro woman, charged. with assault
with intent to murder Aizzie Stewart,
also colored, was continued. The pros
ecutrix has painful stab in the neck.

given night before last in his honor
by the counsel for the company. His
speech was closely followed, and his
references to the affairs of the Plant
System were given especial attention.
The impression was left rather dis
tinct in our minds" said a gentleman
who was one of the diners, that Mr..
Erwin will be connected with the con-
solidated company the Atlantic Coast
Line. He did not say in. so many
words that he would be, but we GER
tainly concluded that he would be with
the company in some capacity, whether
a president, vice president or what not,
l cannot say. He assured the gentle
men of counsel for the Plant System
that he would always remember them
with the deepest pleasure, and that the
loving cup that they presented would
be treasured.
Mr.. Erwin referred to the sale of
the Plant System to the Coast Line,
saying that Mr.. Plant said to him not
long before his death that, should
a good chance to sell the road offer,
not to miss it. We inferred from this
that Mr.. Erwin considered that the
Plant System had been disposed of to
the Coast Line under advantageous
terms"
