Phil II. Perkins, Re.Appointed.

Governor LaFollette has announced
the re appointment of the members
Of the inter state park commission
which has charge of the affairs OF the

This means the re-appointment OF
Phil II. Perkins who was named two
years ago when it was found that As
semblyman Lenroot could not hold
the place although he had been APP
pointed by the governor. The other
members of the commission besides
Mr.. Perkins are |. Seery and Henry

In its old fashioned form the menu

dinner this aid to selection must have
been an absolute necessity, for the
medieval dinner was Il mine Of sur

are our own dainty meals, but whereas
nowadays the diner has a general idea
that fish will follow soup and that en-
tree is succeeded by relieve, and can
conceive generally the sort of demand
that each course will make upon his
appetite and digestion, there was no
possible arguing as to what was going
to happen at nm early English dinner,
and close study fails to reveal the ex.
istcnce of any principle OF arrange

MAY HAVE ARMY
MANEUVERS In GEORGIA
Major Coney's observations at Fort Riley.

ons they had protected. Some of the
escort who had gotten separated from
the main body marched into camp
hours late.
All the army departments seemed to
work satisfactory, said Maj. Coney.
Capt. Chauncey 5. Baker, chief quar-
termaster, made a splendid record for
his department by the excellent man
ner in which he shipped the militia off
to their homes; fifteen trains, with
about $500 men and their horses and
camp equippage, were pulled out from
the camp in three hours and thirty
minutes. They all left their camp
grounds in very good condition, the
orders in that respect being very strict.
The bands at Fort Riley were one
of the features; every day some band
gave a concert at division headquar-
terS.
The Next Maneuvers.
The future of these maneuvers
was very generally discussed, the pre-
vailing opinion being that next year
they would be held in such section, as
to give all the state troops an oppor-
tunity to participate. 1t is of great
advantage to a state to have these ma
neuvers take the place of state camp,
as the entire expense of transporting,
subsisting and paying the troops, is
DOIH6 ny the government OOl VI bHC
army appropriation, and the states
money is untouched.
Maj. Coney appeared before the Mi
litia Committee of the General Staff,
consisting of Maj. McClearnan and
Capts. Alvord and March, and made it
very plain to them that any maneu-
vers contemplated for the troops of
this section should be arranged for
the month of June or July, or posi-
bly, May.
THE great difficulty about these
months" said Maj. Coney, sis that
growing crops are in the ground and
unless the government makes use of
Chickamauga Park, which seems
doubtful, suitable land will be hard to
obtain. 1 believe the government
would consider the acquisition, by
lease or otherwise, of a large maneu-
yer tract in Georgia, if suitable ground
could be procured. Gen. Bates told
me taat the states in this section
should all work together in the matter
of date, etc., for the next years ma
neuvers.
Friends of Col. S. c. Mills, the in
spector general at the maneuvers, will
learn with regret that he sustained a
very painful injury which caused him
to be relieved from further duty at
the camp. He was riding a spirited
horse, and in a moment of inattention
to his surroundings, was carried into
a wire rope, which inflicted a wound
upon the chin and deprived him of
couple of front teeth. Col. Mills was
not confined to his tent, and will soon
look himself again."

Fishing is a game of chance So IS
riding in an autobomile. Combine the
two, and the negative chances are two
to one. or heavier. To win against
such odds is an achievement to be cell
ebrated. This combination was gone
up against" a day or two ago by a
quartette of enthusiasts, who, by dint
of optimism, perseverance and tele-
phoning, managed to arrive with the
auto and win out in the fishing

when, with whirr like an alarm clock
| in distress, the automobile ran
down" and stopped. 1t was not vio-
lent stoppage, as If something had
broken; but rather a gradual cessa-
ton of activity, as of a top coming
to rest after its last moderately spas
modic gyrations.
There were CALCULATIONS, of course,
and a search for the Jonah. These be-

should be broken he would have it to

The amount of amateur mechanical
erudition that can be called up by

way is marvellous! No other contin-

Of a burglar who had attempted to
enter his house. Mr.. Lloyd, living on
Waldburg and Lincoln streets, stood
in his night clothes at a second-story
window for ten or fifteen minutes
shortly before o'clock yesterday
morning.
But the early morning prowler made
bold dash when the patrol wagon
was only a short distance away, and
before Mr. Lloyd could fire had dis
appeared. The would-be burglar was
a negro and made his escape. A care

made by Patrolman Clancy. who had
been hurried from police headquarters,
but no trace of the man could be
found.
Mr. Lloyd was awakened by a noise
at the rear of the house, and seizing his
revolver, jumped from bed. He saw
the form of a man at the back gate
and could distinguish his features. In
a jiffy the negro was covered and Mr..

called to his wife to telephone police
headquarters that he had live bur-

Without delay the message was de-
livered to Desk Sergeant Baughn. Pat
rolman Clancy was sent with the patrol
wagon and record breaking trip was
made to the address that had been Civ

occupying rather tiresome position
and was growing somewhat restless.
He was thinly clad and the night air
was cool. But he kept the muzzle of
his weapon in the direction of the negro
and waited patiently.
Moving at a break neck speed the
patrol wagon was heard more than a
block away. Mr.. Lloyd felt immediate
relief and may have lowered his weap-
on a trihe, or turned to say a word to
his wife. Just how it happened is not
altogether clear to the police, but at
any rate, the burglar decided not to
wait for the wagon and the uniformed
man who was with il.
He was off like a fash and when
Patrolman Clancy reached the house,
Mr.. Lloyd reported that the negro had
escaped just a moment before. At once
the officer began a search of the neigh
borhood but no trace of the burglar
could be found. Convenient hiding

OCTOBER CLOSE
TO AVERAGE MONTH.
Variations Recorded Were Only
Very Slight Ones.

The statistics for the month of Oc-
tober have just been completed by the
Savannah Weather Bureau officials,
and the record made shows that the
month was unusually close to the aver
age, as computed from the record of
the past thirty-three years.
The average month calls for an av-
erage temperature of 81 degrees, and
that of the month just closed despite
the recent cold snap, mad an average
temperature of &c degrees. The high
est temperature recorded was Sc de-
grees on the Bird, and the lowest was
3S, on the 25th.
In the number of clear DAYS last
month was one ahead of the average.
The average called for only IA clear
days, while last month recorded Is.
Six days were cloudy and 10 partly
cloudy. while only 8 days are recorded
on which .O1 of an inch or more of
rain fell.
In the amount of rainfall there was
a deficiency last month of .43 of an
inch. The total amount of rain was
324 inches. OF this amount 204 fell
on the 18th of the month. This was
the heaviest rain which fell in any
twenty-four consecutive hours during
the month.
The prevailing direction of the winds
during the month was from the north.
The highest velocity recorded for any
five minutes was 30 miles. This wind
was the one which accompanied the
northwest storm which passed over
the city at the time of the recent cold
snap.
The skies threatened rain for the
greater part of yesterday. Shortly
after the noon hour a light shower
passed over the city. During this storm
the rainfall amounted to only .01 of
an inch. The skies cleared shortly aft
er. and though it clouded over again
about 5 o'clock, no more rain fell.

was rs degrees, recorded at 1880 a.

Gen. Corbin:
Troop c. Seventh Cavalry, ordered

PRESBYTERY MEETS
AT ST. MARY'S TONIGHT.
VIII BE Followed by Georgia Synod
at Brunswick Next Week.

VIII BE Followed by Georgia Synod
ut Brunswick Next Week.
The Savannah Presbytery will begin
it's fall session at the Presbyterian
Church in st. Mary's tonight. Rou-
tine business will occupy the greater
part of the session and little of general
interest is expected to transpire.
The Presbytery is composed of the
pastor and one ruling elder from each
church in the district. The delegates
from Savannah, who will attend are
Rev. DR.. James Y. Fair. pastor of
tide Independent Presbyterian
Church. and Rev. Mr.. McCorkle of
the First Presbyterian Church. The
name of the lay delegate from Rev.
Mr.. McCorkle's church has not been
announced Owing to the fact that the
independent church is not a part of
the Presbytery, no lay delegate will
represent it at the sessions. Both
Rev. DR.. Fair and Rev. DR.. Nc
Corkle will return to Savannah in time
to conduct the services at their
churches on Sunday.
Tomorrow night a special sermon
before the Presbytery will be preached
by DR.. Fair. The address on missions
and missionary work, which is to be
delivered Thursday afternoon, has also
been given to the Savannah divine.
One of the matters beyond the rou-
tine order which will probably come be-
fore the session is the examination of
a young man who has applied for a Ii
cense to preach. The examination for
a pastors license is one of the most
rigid of any church and considerable
interest is always taken in such events.
The fall session meets somewhat
earlier than usual this year. The change
in the date is owing to the meeting of
the Synod In Brunswick next Tuesday.
BY making the two sessions follow each
other so closely clergy from a distance
will be able to attend both during the
one trip.
Rev. w. A. Nisbet will be unable to
attend the session of the Presbytery,
owing to the fact that church engage
ments will keep him occupied during
the entire week. He expects to be able
to attend the Synod. The Presbytery
is the district body, while the Synod is
the state organization.

DARKNESS AND DAWN
HAD A CLOSE CALL

Proprietor Willis of the Darkness
and Dawn exhibit at the fair yester-
day received a telegram from his Co
ney Island agent regarding the fire
there, a report of which was given in
the Morning News yesterday. The
telegram was as follows: "Coney Is
land swept by fire. Your buildings
safe" A later telegram stated that
the loss from the fire will be greater
than was first estimated. The fire
started within fifty feet of one of Mr.
Willis building and came very close
to the second before it was under con-
troll. Mr.. Willis was congratulating
himself yesterday upon his narrow es-
cape from heavy loss. Owing to the
conditions at Coney Island, no COM
panies will insure shows, etc, there,
so the loss will be all the heavier to
the proprietors burned out.
