In Justice CrawfOrd'S court yeSter-
day afternoon, says the Journal-D Demo-
crat, j. d. Cordova was bound over to
the grand jury on the charge Of steal
ina a purse containing SIS from Pedro
LObatO of AlgOdones. Jose Martinez,
also of Algondones, swore that he saw
Cordova take the purse. Cordova, who
lives in Albuquerque, swore stoutly
that he didn's steal the filthy lucre.
He admitted that the trio had been
imbibing freely Of the fluid that caus-
es the brains Of a man to addle, and
that he didn't steal the filthy lucre.
other men. However, the %preponder-
ance OF evidence x1sS1ed to be against
CordUva, and he was bound over to
the grand jury in the sum of 5000.
He went to the county jail.
But there is a sequel to the story,
which goes to show that Martinez
lied like a Trojan in his Algodones
compadre's behalf. After Cordova had
been placed safely behind the bars of
the county limbo, a purse containing
$4.10 was found under the pillow of
the bed Lobato had occupied. LobatO
could not be found last night, but it
seems likely that the purse is the
one LObato accuses Cordova of having
stolen. If SO the latter probably has
an action against both Lobato and
Martinez.

HORSES Az TIE EAR.

II is assured beyond a reasonable
doubt that the race meeting at the
fair viii be on one of the biggest and
best held in Georgia for many years,
II has already outgroWn the original
plans of the fair management to such
an extent that it begins to look as if
still more events would have to be add
ed. Strings of horses have commenced
coming in, and during the next several
days the paddock and track at the
grounds will be scenes of activity, with
trainers, jockeys and horses in prepa-
ration for the races.
The horses that will be seen at the
fair meeting are among the very best
in the country. so that the character of
the racing will be Identical with that
at Sheepshead Bay Latonia and else
where. The contests will take place
on n regulation, mile track, so that
there will be no such thing as the
"outlawing" of those owners who enter
their horses for the Savannah races
That consideration has great weight
with horsemen. The best horses are
not seen on tracks that are under the
ban of the racing association. Alto
gether therefore. it can be safely as
serted that the forthcoming races I'M
der the auspices of the savannah Fair
viii be high-grade, fair and exciting
the best to be seen in Georgia this
season.
While the racing will be of direct
benefit to the fair we expect to see
il result in direct benefit to the city
also. During the continuance of the
meeting visiting horsemen will learn
of the excellence of the Savannah eli
mate for winter training and racing
purposes. With one of the finest tracks
in the country, pure water and a eli
mate that permits of open air exercise
practically the year around, win
tering of horses here and holding race
meetings, would permit of the horses
being kept in perfect trim all the while
and at the same time earning something
for their owners. Wintering them in
the North is a dead expense. Freight
and passenger communication between
the North and Savannah is ample, and
it is cheaper than with many other cit
les; hence the movement of horses and
men between the North and this city
can be effected economically. The
horsemen of the North are DESTROYS
Of seeing established a good Southern
racing point. An aftermath of the
fair meeting is likely to be seen in the
making of Savannah that point. We
have every advantage to offer the
horsemen, and we should make it
plain to them that Savannah is the
place they are looking for.

The following is attributed by an
English newspaper to a public school
boy: King Henry the Eighth was the
greatest widower that ever lived. He
was born at Ammo Domini in the year
1866. He had five hundred and ten
wives, besides children. The first was
beheaded and afterwards executed. The
second was revoked. She never smiled
again, but, she said the word Calais
would be found written on her heart
after her death. The greatest man in
this reign was Lord Sir Garnet VOL
sey. He was surnamed the Boy
Bachelor, being born at the age of
fifteen unmarried. He after said had he
served his wife diligently as he serv-
ed the King she would not have de-
prived him of his gray hairs. In this
reign the Bible was translated into
Latin by Titus Oates, who was ordered
by the King to be chained up in the
church for greater security. 1t was
also in this reign that the Duke of Wei
lingtOn discovered America and invent
ed curfew bell to prevent fires, most
of the houses being built of timber.
Henry the Eighth was succeeded on the
throne by his great grandmother, the
beautiful and accomplished Mary Queen
of Scots, sometimes known as 1.-THE
Lady of the Lake or Lay of the Last
Minstrel He died in bed in the last

OPPOSITION TO aoosEvELr.

OPPOSITION TO ROOSEVELT.
A New York dispatch ITO rne L7hiia-
delphia Ledger says there is very
strong opposition to the nomination of
Mr.. Roosevelt among business men in
that city, and also in Philadelphia,
Boston, Baltimore and other Eastern
cities. There is no news in that state
ment. 1t has been an open secret for
a long time that some Of the most
prominent of the Republican captains
Of finance and industry were doing al
they could to create sentiment
against making him the Republican
nominee for President. Mr.. Roosevelt
and his friends have known about this
for lonS time, and have been doing
what they could to counterfeit it.
1t is said that dispatches were sent
from Washington a day or two ago
TO stalwart Republican papers in the
West stating that the opposition to the
nomination of Mr.. Roosevelt among
the business men of the East was grad
ually disappearing, and that before
very long it would hardly be noticea-
bic. These dispatches, no doubt, were
intended to satisfy the Republicans of
the West that Republicans of the East
would be in line when the nominating
convention met.
There is a plenty of evidence to
show, however, that the opposition to
Mr.. Roosevelt among business men
hasn't died out. In the New York
dispatch to the Philadelphia Ledger a
prominent banker is quoted as say
ing that if the politicians of the Re-
publican party nominated Mr.. Roose-
Welt they would have to furnish the
money thefaselves to elect him. that
the bankers and business men wouldn't
contribute anything. If the idea gets
abroad that Wall street is against Mr..
Roosevelt it will help him more than
any sum of money Wall street would
contribute to assist him, even if he
were popular with Wall street men.
Wall street is itself so unpopular
throughout the country that the peO-
pie would be inclined to regard with
favor man it was against in a pres
idential contest.
But the Republican leaders wouldn't
like the idea to get abroad that Mr..
Roosevelt is unpopular with financiers
and business men before they get con-
tributons for campaign purposes. If
the bankers, great corporations and
financial institutions generally decline
to give the Republican Campaign Com
mittee financial assistance that COM
mittee will be in a very unfortunate
position. Money for campaign pur-
poses is absolutely necessary, and the
Republican captains of finance and in
dustry are expected to contribute it.
The present indications are that they
will not do it on a very liberal scale.
They don't want Mr.. Roosevelt elected.
They are afraid that he would do some
thing to demoralize the trade of the
country. Still, there is no doubt that
Mr. Roosevelt is going to be the Re
publican nominee. The politicians of
his party know he is the strongest
man they could nominate and it is sue
cess they are seeking.

SUsrECTING GERMANY.


Some of the newspapers seem deter
mined to cling to- the opinion that
Germany isn't as friendly TO this coun-
try as she pretends to be. For in
stance, the New York Press wants to
know why it is that ships of Germany's
North American fleet are continually
dropping into such "inconspicuous
harbors' as Wilmington, \. Co. and
Pensacola, Fla, instead of visiting the
great harbors of New York and Boston.
1t concludes that Germany has a pur-
pose i'm this, that she is gathering in
formation in regard to the country. so
as to be prepared if trouble should
arise between her and the United
States.
AS far as we have been informed the
German officers who visit the various
ports do not spend their time in nos
ing about for such facts as would be
of value in the event of war. Their
vessel remains in port for only IA day
or two, and during that time the Off
GERS. through their consul are brought
into contact with the social life Of the
city and have as good time as they
can. Just why their ships are not Or
dered to New York and Boston we are
unable to say, unless it be that the
home government is a little afraid that
in the great American cities life is a
little TOO fast for the welfare and COM
fort of the officers of its navy.
The Press calls attention to the two
great home fleets for which the new
naval law of Germany provides, and
also to the two large fleets which Ger
many maintains in American waters
one on the Pacific coast and the other
on the Atlantic coast. 1t is said that
the strength of these fleets is quietly,
but steadily, being increased.
The Press would have the country
believe that Germany is actually pre-
pairing to open her guns upon our for
tihca tions. 1t is doubtful if there is
any significance in the fact that Ger
many is increasing her fleets in Amer
lean waters. She has the ships and
she would rather have them in Ameri-
can waters doubtless than elsewhere
in the world, as long as they have to
be abroad somewhere. The Army and
Navy journal, however, as quoted by
the Press, entertains a different view
1t says: while it is pleasing to be as
sured that the maintenance of this
great force in the Western hemisphere
is the logical and necessary outcome of
the splendid growth of German COM
mercial and financial enterprise in the
American continents, there are con-
ceivable emergencies in which it would
be inimicaI to the United States"
Germanys new home fleet, with it's
seventeen batteships, hurried across
the water to act in conjunction with
her fleet on the eastern coast of the
United States, would indeed make a
display of sea power off our shores
worthy of most serious consideration
and not hitherto existent in the distri-
button Of German naval force
1t seems to us that the Press sees a
cause for uneasiness. and suspicion
where none exists. Germany isn't 60
ing to get into trouble with this coun-
try if she can honorably avoid doing
so.
