Peat Good Substitute for Coal.

As the anthracite coal miners strike
continues and the price of coal advances,
it is suggested that peat might be sub
stitued, to certain extent, at least, for
anthracite or bituminous coal. Peat
abounds in Western New York. On the
hog lands Of Orleans, Erie, Monroe, Nj
agara aud Genesee there are immense
formations of peat, as rich as any found
in Ireland, Scotland or Germany.
Treated with petroleum by au inexpen.
sive process, the peat would furnish a
fuel the equal in heat producing powers
to anthracite, and in many respects
superior to hard coal. .--Ex.

Mayor Decided That Library Could

Mayor Myers, who returned yester-
day from New York, did not see Mr..

1T unnecessary to press the philanthro-
pist personally, in as much as a corre-
spondence has been going for some
time about the library project The
dignified position for the city to as
sumo, the Mayor said, is one of wait
ing upon Mr.. Carnegie's reply to the
last copmunication addressed him.
When this reply has been received the
City Council will take up the question
of the library once more Some def
mite proposition from Mr.. Carnegie is
wanted.
While in New York Mr.. Myers dis
posed of his and his two brothers in
terests in the American Cuban Tobacco
Company. Mr.. Myers has long been a
director in the company. He would not
discuss the disposition of the Myers in
terests in the company, further than
to say that they had gone to other
holders of stock, principally to those
who had no very large holdings. The
company operates factories at Tampa
and Havana.
On the way back to Savannah the
Mayor stopped over in Washington,
where he saw Congressman Lester, and
discussed the sub treasury which Sa-
vannah wants the government to es-
tablish here. Col. Lester reiterated his
promise to let those interested in this

1t is well to know that there is an
institution in our city, Savannah, Ga,
where the finest wines and liquors can
be had. Lippman Bros, of this city,
import their Scotch and Irish WHISTLES
from Kirker Greer & Co. of Belfast
Ireland. and Glasgow, Scotland. They
import their fine Rhine and Mozeile
wines from Frankfort, Germany. Their
fine French clarets and fine French
cognac brandles all from Bordeaux.
France. They also import their lime
juice from Leath, Scotland. Anybody
can make an advertisement like the
above, but we can substantiate what
we say, by telling our customers and
friends to apply to the United States
Custom House of this city, where they
will find all the goods in bond import
ed from these countries the property

We want to get the best trade on
these goods, and therefore shall retail

Mayor Myers is inclined to view the
application of the Savannah Electric
Company for additional street privi-
leges for the construction of switches,
connections and extensions as one for
which no compensation should be de-
manded by the city, as an advantage
to the public at large will follow the

through the increased facilities Cor
operation that will be afforded by car
rying out the plans that have been
formed,
II have not vet investigated the
matter" said the Mayor, "but from
the knowledge that I have 1 should
say, that compensation should not be
demanded, as the granting of the priv
ileges sought would only mean that
consideration is shown the public.
When a new street is asked for, then
the city should demand compensation,
either in the paving of the street or
in some other way. Where, however,
only additional rights on a street al
ready used by a railway company are
sought, and where the granting of
those rights would mean a convenience
to the public, 1 hold that no bargain
should be driven. 1 am on record a
opposing the granting of franchises to
new companies or the granting of new
streets to- companies already estab-
lished, but this does not seem to be
such case.
Roberts street is asked, from West
Broad to Cemetery street. 1t is true
that there is no line on that street at
present, but it is clearly for the con-
venience of the public that the street is
asked. The completion of the Union
Station will mean that the line on Rob-
erts street would be needed for cars
that would be kept in waiting for
trains"
