THIS BRIBE MISCARRIED.
Glenn ScOrned 1t and 1t Went to
GUncIaimed Funds"

WASHINGTON, July 27.-The Secretary
of War has sent to the Treasury De-
partment a box of cigars and 800,
which was received from the Depart
ment of Texas. 1t appears that Col.
Glenn, chief quartermaster of the de-
partmeut, found the box of cigars on
his desk. and upon opening it discov-
cred that it was from a contractor.
who was doing some work under the
uuartermaster's supervision. In the
box was the money.
The colonel was very indignant and
referred the matter to Gen. Fred Grant,
commanding the department. The con-
tractor acknowledged sending the CT
Gars by a messenger boy, but said he
did not know anything about the mon
ey Gen. Grant thought that under
such circumstances nothing could be
done by prosecuting the man for at
tempted bribery. and sent the cigars
and the money to the War Department.
From the War Department they were
sent to the Treasury, where all I'M
claimed funds are sent The cigars
subsequently were sold for $500 and
the money placed with the 800.

Russia Has stopped Expectations to
Japan.
Pekin, July 27.-The Russian admin
istration of New Chwang has stopped
the expectation of wheat to Japan.
The export of grain from Chinese ports
is illegal, but the Russians heretofore
have ignored the law. During the past
week the Japanese obtained many ship
loads from New Chwang, apparently
preparing for war contingencies. Sew
eral ships were employed in bringing
wheat from Shanghai and Southern
ports to New Chwang, where it was
trans-shipped as a direct export. The
prohibitory order was issued by the
Russian officials last Thursday.
Gen. Kondradovitch has been placed
in charge of six armed commercial
boats, and the navigation of the Lao
river. which is construed here as an
other sign of Russia's intention to re-
tain New Chwang and the command
of the river

Writes of the Virtues Of

"To-day I am thankful to say my

Of care and work when they were
babies. An infants skin is so delicate
and fine that the least thing will hurt 1t.
For channg, for all eruptions and out
breaks on the skin, for roughness and
chapping, always used Cuticura.
"If my boys all passed through baby
hood without any serious or alarming
skin trouble, / attribute that circum-
stance to the prompt and free use of
Cuticura when the first sign of disease
appeared. Ishould add that we always
used Cuticura Soap in bathing the chill
dren. It seems TO get all the impuri-
ties out of the skin, and II there is q
single ingredient in it that can possibly
do harm, have never found trace Of
it. Sometimes / read in papers of

cura. think such cases as strange as
they are sad for by this time everybody
ought to know about Cuticura and
nobody ought to wait for weeks and

DO Business Men Think of Thiss

DV DhhAhCES MGA Ol
The money that you spend away from
home never comes back any more"
Do business men think of this?
Take you, for instance. Have you
ever bought an article away from home
because it was a few cents cheaper
than you could get at home that you
did not feel that you were retarding
the growth of your city by injuring
the business of its citizens?
1t saves little, If anything, to send
your orders away, or to buy your sup
plies away from home. Such a sys-
tenn indirectly hurts you, no matter
who you are. And it works direct
harm to your fellow citizens, who have
taxes to pay, rent to pay, employees
to pay, and other charges to meet
This applies to all lines of business.
but In this special advertisement il is
intended to refer to the thousands of
dollars worth of printing, Autograph
ing and blank book work which is
sent away every month by Savannah
business houses.
Think of it,
Thousands of dollars worth going
to other printing houses in other cities
when there are more than a dozen
good ones mere, able TO 90 much more
work than they are doing If they had
it to do.
The more work these concerns have
to do the more people they have to
employ, and these people, as a matter
of course, become buyers. They be-
come customers of the shoe houses,
the dry goods houses, the grocery
houses, the drug houses, and, indeed.
about all lines of business feel the
impetus which increased buyers give.
The Morning News printing, litho-
graphing, blank book and bindery is
one of the best in the country 1t has
a Autograph plant sufficiently large to
handle all of the work in Savannah.
And 1t will do it as well and as rea-
sonable as any reputable concern in
the United States.
The Morning News has striven to
give Savannah a home plant. The
class of work turned out by it speaks
for itself.
If it is satisfactory, there is no real
reason why any of this work should
find it's way to other cities. None
whatever.
Should business men encourage it?
