Fined Thirty
and Costs

Homer Yates, of Fruitland, this
morning pleaded guilty in Justice
ODonald's court to a charge of assault
and battery, preferred by his brother,
Lee Yates. He was fined $50 and costs,
and in default Of payment was COM
mitted TO jail.
The case is the result of a family
quarrel. II is learned that Homer
was abusing his mother, when his
brother demonstrated, and, in the
trouble that ensued, Homer attacked
Lee with an AK, and, before he could
be disarmed, struck the latter. badly
decorating his hand, and barely miss
ing the mans head. Homer has been
in poor health for some time, and is
considered weak mentally.

Exhaustion Of Nerve Force

HySteria, and Sleep
leSSneSS.

Any intelligent man or woman can
easily detect victims of nervous
troubles by taking a ten-minute walk
on any of the crowded streets of our
cities or towns. The observer will
note countenances full of feverish anx-
iety, harrassed looks, unsteady hands,
faltering steps, twitching muscles, pal
lid faces and startled, anxious looks
when unusual noises are made. Such
people are, without doubt, victims OF
nervous prostration, hysteria, or in
somnia. The whole system suffers
the brain, the spinal chord, and the
sympathetic system.
It is unnecessary to dilate minutely
on the causes of nervousness. Busi-
ness cares and disappointments, haste
after riches and honors, social and
household worries, sexual and alcohol
ic excesses, watching and anxiety, and
loss of near and dear ones, all con-
tribute to the breaking down of the
dIllCJeu CLASS lHb lIulll lldI oihO .
nervous organism of men and women.
In earnest words we set before this
Celery Compound affords a speedy
and sure cure for all forms of nervous
diseases. The great medicine is a
perfect restorer of nerve force and
power; a sure builder and strengthen
er of the weak and debilitated system.
Paine's Celery Compound has en-
abled thousands in every city and
town in our land to renew and invig-
crate their health and keep their
places in business and society. In all
large centers where nervous diseases
are common, the best physicians pre-
scribe Paine's Celery Compound, with
continued success.
A few bottles of natures health re-
storer used during the month of May,
will completely Danish all nervous dis
orders, by giving new nerve force,
purer blood, better digestion, normal
appetite, and refreshing sleep. In a
word, Paine's Celery Compound will
give you the full powers of robust
manhood and true womanhood.

MERCURY KEEPS AWAY UP.
Has Been Above Ninety Degrees
Twelve Out of Sixteen DAYS.

Hos Bcen Above Ninety Degrees
Twelve Ont of Sixteen Days.
The weather for August, to date,
shows a marked difference from the
same time a year ago and it's a diff
ference that has not been appreciated
by the sweltering public. Up to and
including yesterday the mercury each
day except for the 9Th, 9th, 18th and
14th, has registered 80 degrees or
more and though the maximum so far
has been only "a degrees that point has
been reached four times. Last year
the maximum for the entire month was
SO degrees, and it was reached but
three times.
The maximum yesterday was 80 de-
grees and the minimum was 70 degrees
giving to the day mean of 81 degrees
and giving to the month an accumu-
lated excess heat of % degrees. The
year, to date, shows a deficiency of Sc
degrees. A thunderstorm in the late
afternoon reduced the temperature
considerably, and brought with 1t "a
rainfall of SO of an inch. The month
still shows a shortage of rain of 10
of an inch and the year a deficiency of
4.S7 inches.
The indications for the state to-day
are fair in the interior with showers
on the coast, brisk north to north
west winds.

BISHOP KELLEY HONORED.
Will Assist mt the Reception Given
ON POpe's Name-Day.

That Right Reverend B. ]. Kelley,
bishop of Savannah, who is now IA
Rome, has been asked to assist at the
great reception to-day, the pope's
name-day, when all the cardinals and
high prelates of the church will be
present, was the information received
in Savannah yesterday.
This is quite an honor to Savan-
mains bishop, as the name-day recep-
ton is one of the great celebrations of
the year, ranking below only the pope's
birthday, and the celebration of his Sc
lection as bishop and election as pope.
The pope's name. before he was elect
ed to his present high position, was
Joachim Pecci, Joachim being given
him in honor of St Joachim, the hus-
band of Ann, the mother of the Virgin
Mary. Because of this the pope's
name-day falls on a feast day of that
saint.

JUMP IN IMPORTS
DUTIES FIVE TIMES GREATER so
FAR THIS MONTH
THAN ENTIRE LAST AUGUST.
CUSTOMS COLLECTIONS FOR LAST
SIX WEEKS

More Than Double Those for All of
July and August 1901-Increased
Business Due Chiefly to ImpOrta-
tfons of Jute Begging and Win
dow GIass-The Glass Business n
Big Item for Savannah.
The customs collections at Sayan-
nah, which last year made an unpre-
cedented slump, are on the up-turn
again. The collections at the custom
house during July and the sixteen days
of August, up to the closing of the
custom house yesterday, almost double
the collections for the entire two
months of 1901.
The collections for the sixteen days
of this month are five times the
amount of the collections for the en-
tire month of August last year. The
duties collected since July 1 up to the
closing of the custom house yester-
day afternoon are nearly one-third
the amount of the collections for all
of last year.
Deputy Collector Johnson has pre-
pared a brief statement showing the
increase in business over last year,
as follows:
Total collections for July and
16 days in August, 1902 .....$7,S5s Al
Total collections for July and
entire month of August, 1901. 4,248 06
Increase this year ............$3 $3.50 Al
Collections for 16 days in Au-
gust, 1902 ........ ............ IS, Sos Al
toll Of
August, 1901 .................. 1857 90
Increase this year ........... $4,30S AZ
Duties collected in July and Is
days in August, 1902 ....... 0S5 80
Total duties collected for fiscal
year ending June 80 1902 ..$24,3 $50 II
The increase this year over last is
largely due to the imports of window
glass and jute bagging. The princi-
pal increase, however, is on jute bag
ging The importation of cement, too,
will add largely to the business this
year. The duty on cement is 80 cents
Fer barrel and even at this increased
cost. users prefer rather to import
from Germany than to use the Ameri-
can cement for certain purposes.
The importation of window glass
promises to be a considerable item in
Savannah's trade. Since the estab-
lishment by the Pittsburg Glass Works
of depot and warehouse in Savannah
two months ago, nearly 5000 cases of
glass have been imported from Bel
GUM. The duty on glass varies from
1ss to 33s cents per pound, according
to the size of the glass. Large importa-
lions will follow in the next few months.
This new industry alone means thou
sands of dollars of duties and the
handling of a large traffic in Savan-
nah. The importation of jute bag
ging, which fell off last year, is COM
ing up again, and will add largely to
the business of the port
The increase in business is not only
noticeable here, but at other ports as
we'll. At Baltimore and Norfolk the
increase is proportionately as great
as in Savannah

CLUELESS AS TO QUEEN.
Police Have About Given Up Hope of
Capturing Her.


The detectives and police have about
abandoned hope of capturing the mys-
FERROUS woman, the Diamond Queen.
They think now that they will never
catch her in Savannah. While they
hold this opinion. they have not en-
tirely given up the hunt, and are ready
and anxious to take up any clue or
plausible theory.
They say that there is a, possibility,
even a probability, of her being caught
elsewhere in endeavoring to dispose OF
the diamonds, or in another attempt
to work her little game, or another
similar one, but so far they have not
been able to discover the slightest clue
TO her whereabouts. She might as well
have evaporated. If she had. she
would have been no further from de-
lection than she is now.
The detectives are practically unani-
nous in their theory of her escape.
They think also that there is no doubt
of the fact that she had an accom-
plice-probably a man. This confed
crate they believe, preceded the mys-
teriols woman to Savannah, and ac-
quainted himself in a quiet way with
conditions, the same mystery and COM
placercy characterizing his actions D
those of his female confederate.
Both of them, the detectives have
little doubt, are professional crooks.
They scout the idea of the woman
or the man being yet in Savannah.
Where would she stay?" asked one
of them. "She has to live, and she
must have some place to eat and sleep,
and who would harbor them in their
house arc lay themselves liable to the
punishment of the law. Besides, there
is a reward out for her apprehension.
If she, or her partner had been still
in Savannah, one or both of them
would have been caught before this
time"
When the woman left Desbouillons'
she threw her quiet and composure to
the wind, they say. She went as fast
as she could to some place nearby and
made a rapid change of apparel, and
took the first train from the city. There
was nothing unusual in her appear
ance, and with a change of clothing
and probably the change of wig she
could have left easily without detec-
ton. She must haYe seen the necess-
ity of quick departure and she must
have known that even if she were
caught there would be difficulty in
identifying her.
This is the opinion of the detectives,
or most of them. They think, too, that
even had the woman been caught and
convicted of the theft there would have
been slight chance for the recovery
of the diamonds.
Others of the police think these views
untenable, and in view of the fact that
the woman wrote such an illiterate note,
and was foolish enough to go to a sec
ono store
strongly in favor of her being caught.
think that she was singularly fortu-
nate and not the least bit shrewd
Many who held this view of the mat
ter, however, have begun to side with
the detectives view as the days pass
by, and no clue to the diamond queens
whereabouts present itself.

And How 1t Assures That Comfort
able Feeling.

"Let me show you my insurance
plant" said a merchant to a visiting
friend. This little card is a copy of
a provision in my life insurance policy
which tells me how much cash can
get at the end of every year. Only
the agent kept me paying during the
early years. After I had it three years,
don't suppose I will have to coax you
to keep up your policy any longer,
for it is now a valuable and growing
asset I asked him to explain and
he showed me that / could borrow
quite a neat sum if I so desired. /
had never thought about that feature,
but had looked upon my premium
payments as a dead loss. l was so
much interested in the rapid increase
that had a copy of the values made
and stuck up here on my desk where
I can see it. AS each year goes by /
put a cross opposite the amount in
the cash column and l write down the
amount of my dividend accommodations,
so that l can see at glance now
much it is worth to me. You see that
the cash value is now over $1,650, to
say nothing of the dividends and in
terest which are to the credit or my
policy. These I may draw out at any
time, and still leave my policy intact.
Under the tontine plan of insurance l
would not receive credit for these divi-
dends until after twenty years, and
then it is optional with the company
to give you what they please. l like
the annual dividend plan best. / have
none of the old feeling that paying for
life Insurance is throwing away money.
I have constantly before me the fact
that I am not only. protecting my
family, but am saving money by pay
ing for insurance. That little card is
an incentive and I can see my policy
climbing and growing in value. I
never look at it without getting that
comfortable feeling"
Let us show you the plans Of the
Massachusetts Mutual, and if you take
a policy with us you, too, will have
that comfortable feeling. Harry &
