CARNEGIE ARRAIGNED
JAMES CUMBEAs LABOR MAN, OP-
POSES FREE LIBRARY.
WANTS A REFoRMAToRY.
THE SPEECH AT AN ADMINISTRA-
TION CLUB MEETING.

Mr.. Cumbea Spoke Before the Forest
City Club, a Fourth District Or
ganizatiOn of Which Alderman
HOrrigan Is President-Cnrnegie
Wealth the prosperity md Hap
piness of Thousands" He Said.
Let Him Build RefOrmatOry,
Cumbea's PIan-Cumbca May BE
Labor Candidate for Legislature.
The public library scheme and Mr..
Andrew Carnegie were discussed rather
pointedly last night at a rally of the
Forest City Club, Fourth district adj
ministration organization, at Harris
street hall. James Cumbea, a member
of one of the labor unions, was the
speaker.
Alderman j. ]. Horrigan is president
of the club and heard what Mr.. Cum
bea had to say about the steel king
whose free library offers have attract
ed so much attention. Mr. Cumbea was
an unknown" until after his
speech, when he was. received
with enthusiasm. In labor cir
cles he is prominent, and is now
locked upon as the labor candidate for
the Legislature on the Citizens Club
ticket.
Mr.. Cumbea attracted little or no
attention when he was introduced by
President Horrigon, but before he had
spoken dozen words the ward poll
ticians were listening. His speech
was being faVorably commented upon
when he spoke of Carnegie and cou-
pied his speech with a suggestion for
the building of a reformatory. He OPP
posed the free library" scheme and
recalled the days of 1888 in homestead
when, he said "Pinkerton men were
rolled in by Carnegie to shoot down
men who were standing for what was
right; when women were made wild
ows and placed in destitute circum-
stances"
The speaker declared that the money
which Carnegie is now spending for
libraries is the blood prosperity and
happiness of thousands from whom he
took it,. and to whom it rightfully be-
longs He declared that if Carnegie
desires to do the proper thing he
should turn over $4,000 to represent
atives of this community to be spent
in erecting a reformatory where chill
dren can find refuge, and where juve-
nile criminals can be made good citi-
zens. He considered that a gift for
such purpose as would benefit the en-
tire community, and do much more
good than would the building of a
library. 1t would save untutored chill
dren who without the proper restraint
are fast going to the bad. The sugges-
ton was received with applause.
The bringing out" of the labor man
was the chief incident of the meeting.
l.. NJ Norwood. Esq, was the first
speaker and while sarcastic, was not
so severe in his language as at a pre-
vious meeting at which he spoke. He
held the opposition up to ridicule and
declared that the time is past when
a man who has been struck on one
side of the cheek should turn the
other.
Raiford Falligant, ESQ., spoke, Out
did not inject any personalities into
his talk. He said that as yet there
are no issues in the campaign. The
matter of reformatory is not an is
sue, he said. but he heartily favors
the establishing of one. David c. Bar
row. Esq. spoke at considerable length
and made clean campaign speech.

ON OGLETHORPE AVENUE.
The Suggestion That the MOnu.
ments BE Placed There.

The suggestion That the MOnu-
ments BE Placed There.
1 hope you will not allow the McLaws
and Barlow monuments to block up the
Forsyth Park walks" said Mr.. j. b.
Chestnut to Mayor Myers yesterday.
II do not believe that is the place
for the monuments"
II am glad to hear an expression from
you, Mr.. Chestnut" said the Mayor.
II am always DESTROYS of ascertaining
the wishes of citizens upon questions
that concern them"
1.-THE intersection of Bull street and
Oglethorpe avenue" continued Mr..
Chestnut "offers, think, the most adj
vantageous and suitable location for
the monuments. One might be placed
on the Oglethorpe avenue grass plat,
just east of Bull street, and the other
might be placed on the avenue plat,
just west of Bull street."
The@veterans have considered this
location, but not favorably.
Mayor Myers agreed with Mr.. Ches-
mutt that the suggested location would
be excellent. The matter, however, is
now with the Confederate veterans and
with the Park and Tree Commission,
the Mayor said, and neither he nor
the City Council has any part in it.
I'VE want to see." said the Mayor,
that nothing is done to destroy the
artistic beauty of Bull street or For
syth Park, and 1t would certainly seem
that the establishment of the monu-
ments upon the spots selected at the
Bull street entrance to the park would
have that effect. No opportunity
should be given future residents of the
city to exclaim against the taste that
was shown in an improper location of
the memorials.
at might be urged that it was in
Difference to the wishes of the Con-
federate veterans that the monuments
were located at the Bull street en-
trance if that position should be allow
ed them. and this might prompt the
belief that it was simply because the
petitioners were veterans that the con-
cession was allowed. I suggested this
to veterans, and they admitted that
they did not want to be placed in such
a nOSitiOn :"

FAIR TO CLOSE NEXT FRIDAY.
Meantime II Is Well Attended and
Is Doing n Good Business.

Is Doing n Good Business.
The Cathedral Fair will be closed
next Friday, and from now on a special
effort will be made to dispose of the
numerous articles with which the
booths are stocked despite the many
that have already been disposed of.
When the fair is over such goods as
remain will be sold, some to retail
dealers in various lines. and others,
probably, at an auction which may be
held the last night.
Monday night Company B of the
Guards and, possibly some other of
the military commands of the city, will
be guests of the fair and take supper,
which will be the last regular supper
served as beginning Tuesday only ice
cream, cake and such light refresh
ments will be on sale.
The Fair did a profitable business
yesterday both in the afternoon and al
night. In the afternoon in addition to
the usual attendants, the children OF
St Mary's Orphan Home were present,
and through the generosity of Mr.. j.
]. McDonough, Capt. John Flannery,
Capt NJ. y. O'Byrne and Mr.. VIM.
Kehoe, were enabled to patrOnize the
different booths. Refreshments were
served them by Mrs w. ]. Harry and
Miss Annie KehOe.
At night the choir boys of Sacred
Heart Church, Chirty-two in number,
in charge of Father Aloysius, attended
and enjoyed themselves until 10
O'Clock. Many of the boys of the Cathe-
dral choir. recently organized by Fa-
Their Kennedy, also We're present. This
afternoon many other children are ex-
pected as Miss Agnes Lyons will give
a George Washington party especially
for their benefit.
Among the donations of special note
yesterday was $50 from the Catholic
knights of America, which
was distributed among the booths,
and a very fine dressing table present
ed the Country Store by Bishop Kelley
through the Rhodes Haverty Furniture
Company. Among the awards were a
cake, secured from the Choir Booth
by Miss Belle Twiggs, a box of cigars
given to Father Reich, from the same
BOOTH a Christie picture to Mrs. j. j.
O'Neill and a cake to Miss Eleanor
O'Byrne. both from Mrs. McDonough's
booth; and a sofa pillow to Miss M.
Keane, and a drop light to Mr.. NJ. ].
O'Leary. from the Sacred Heart Booth.
Much interest centers in the contest
for the diamond ring offered by the
Choir Booth. There are three entries
for it, Miss Eugenia Kenney, Miss
Helen Mccormick and Miss Herovitz.
The contest will be closed Thursday
night at 10 o'clock. All of the booths
continue to do a good business, es-
pecially the candy and flower booths,
which, yesterday, received many valu-
able gifts.

HE HOOKED A HACK.
But George Reid Was Considerable
and Kept Only the Harness.


George Reid, colored. was sent to
chain gang for twelve months from the
City Court yesterday morning for
stealing a set of harness from Mr.. C.
A. L. Cunningham. The manner of the
stealing was unique.
Early yesterday morning the driver
of one of Mr.. Cunningham's street
hacks left his vehicle near the market,
while he went to a neighboring hall,
where a colored society dance was in
progress When he returned with the
beau and belle that intended making
the trip home in his hack, he discov-
cred that it had disappeared. No trace
was left. and he could not learn where
it had gone.
Not long afterwards the horse, sans
hack and harness. appeared at the sta
BILE. A search for the hack was started,
and it was found in a sequestered por-
ton of Yamacraw. The harness was
nowhere to be found.
When he reached his stables, one of
his stablemen reported to Mr.. Cum
ningham that he had seen a negro on
Montgomery street with bag that
seemed to contain a set of harness.
Mr.. Cunningham obtained a police
man. and the two drove to Montgom-
cry street. They soon saw their man,
and Mr.. Cunningham accosted him,
saying. Come here. 1 want to see
you" Not me, boss" said the negro,
and took to his heels, dropping the
bag.
The buggy was facing the wrong
way. so Mr.. Cunningham sprang out
and started in hot pursuit of the negro.
The chase led to a house in Oglethorpe
avenue lane, near Barnard street, with
the officer bringing up the rear with
the buggy. The negro took refuge in
the house and sought to hide, but Mr.
Cunningham discovered him. He was
lodged at the barracks, and the re-
corder bound him over to the CITY
Court, where he received his sentence.
1t was speedy Justice

MACON is AT WORK.
That City Doing It's Best to Get the
State shoot.

state shoot.
The people of Macon are anxious to
secure the state shoot for their range.
Col. E. D. Huguenin of the Second
Regiment has written Col. George T.
Cam, inspector general of rifle prac-
tice, under whose supervision the shoot
is to be held. inviting him to select
Macon as the place. The Macon
Chamber of Commerce has supple
mented this invitation by a resolution,
a copy of which has been sent to Col
Cam and to the adjutant general at
Atlanta. The Chamber of Commerce
is backing up the effort of Col. Hugue-
nan.
The advantages of a good range, of
Macon's central location, and of it's ex-
cellent health conditions are urged. Sa-
vannah wants the shoot too, and Col
Cam will be asked in a formal letter
from the Savannah Military Rifle
Range Association to hold it here 1t
is believed the fact that Savannah has
the best rifle range south of Sea Grit
will induce him to decide upon this
place.

The St. Johns herald., 1902-02-01

A Missouri boy was compelled by his teacher to write an essay on the mouth for some infraction of dicipline and this is what he wrote: Your mouth is the front door to the face. It is the cold storage of your anatomy. Some mouths look like peaches and cream; some look like a hole in a brick wall to admit new window or door. The mouth IS a hot bed for toothache, and the bung hole of oratory. The mouth is the crimson aisle to our liver, 1t is patriotism's fountain and the toolch,st for pie. Without a mouth the politician would be a wanderer on the face of the earth and go down to an unhonored grave. It is the grocer's friend the orators pride and the dentists hope. It puts some men on the ros- trum and some in jail. It Is tef1p- tation's lrnch counter when at attached to a maiden and d tobac- co fiend'S when attached to a man.
