He writes that it was a peculiar pleas

vannah and Savannahians. A bright
err more cultured and more agreeable
companion, he said, he could not hope
to meet.

There is no. telling when Lieut..
Morgan will again visit Savannah.
His last visit was shortly after the
Battle of Manila Bay. At this time
he should again be enjoying his land
service, three. years being allowed
alternately to officers in the Navy;
but in the event the Department has
need of his services, the officer has no
one but himself to blame if he has
made his services valuable.

A letter received from Lieut.. Casey
Bruce Morgan, stationed with the
Eastern squadron in japanese waters,
bears interesting information relative
to the movements of the fleet and re
garding his experiences in this late and
important service of Uncle Sam. *
Lieut.. Morgan has beer made navi-
gator and is stationed aboard the AL
bany. His letter, of date -Chefu, Aug.
20, gives an interesting account of the
long voyage made by the fleet from
the Mediterranean sea to Chinese wa
tiers. At the time that the letter was
written he was about to depart for
Japan. He was on his way home sew
eral weeks ago when ordered to report
with Fighting Bob's squadron for duty
at Chefu. While this deprives him
of his land service, it is with small
misgivings, for Lieut.. Morgan is en-
thusiastic over his work.
His own modest announcement that
he has been made navigator carries
with it a greater significance than
he even hints at. He writes with evil
dent enthusiasm of the manner in
which he computed the distances at
sea, saying that it is wonderful how
a navigator is able to compute to the
hour when the various vessels of the
fleet will meet. He does not mention,
however, that it is not every navigator
who can so compute.
After 1000 Mile Trip.
When the letter was written he had
just arrived at his destination in Chi
nese waters. after trip of 1000 miles,
during which not a mishap marred the
voyage. True, there We're mishaps to
other craft, the Raleigh being so badly
disabled as to retard the progress of
the Albany. The vessels of the fleet
are three big battleships, four cruisers,
four gunboats, numerous golfers, etc.
This is Lieut.. Morgan's third trip to
China. He is, therefore, not enthusi-
astic over it. The novelty has worn
off, he says. But to him the novelty of
beautiful Japan never wears away. He
has travelled twice around the world,
but nothing appeals to him more than
Japan. His enthusiasm is scarce
equalled by that of Edwin Arnold, if his

It Is Tree
Economy

To use the best of everything even
should the better articles cost more,
but here they do not cost more-they
sell as lower and sometimes lower than
the goods without a guarantee of pur-
ity.
A Delmonico passbook shows saw
ings every day because we put our
smallest profits on things used every
day.
We buy goods in great volume and
buy them well. and our everyday bus
mess keeps our stock fresh and clean.
We give the Savannah housekeeper
n delivery system that delivers her
groceries when she wants them, re-
CARELESS of any stated schedule OF de-
livery we may have.
We keep our patrons in touch with
all the new creations Of the food max
ers, and give them a clean store to do
their trading in.
These are advantages and pleasures
not afforded you by any other gro
Gerry establishment in Savannah. Be
fore the Delmonicos establishment
you heard of no Pure Foods, you heard
of no prompt delivery of goods, you
knew no clean grocery store. These
virtues are now found under one roof.
And with them all is True Economy.
You can positively live cheaper by
using this establishment you live bet
ter, and you are not worried by a
faulty service. If you transfer your
account to us, you will soon under
stand the enormous growth this bus
mess has achieved in so short q time.
You will understand why our patrons
sing praises of the service we are
giving them, and you will know that
True Economy is not in buying cut
rate specialties. but in buying the ne
cessities of life at general low prices.

Notes.
Valdosta, Ga, Oct. 10.-The City
Council held a meeting Friday night
to consider putting in the Gamewell
system of fire alarms and to receive
bids for street paving. The board de-
cided to have the GameweH system
put in.
There were two bidders for the street
paving, one of them from Chattanoo-
ga and one from Augusta The All
gusta firm was considerably cheaper,
but the brick were not the same. The
board decided to leave the matter with
a committee consisting of the Mayor
and chairmen Of the Street and FIJI
nance committees. 1t is probable that
the board will try the Augusta brick,
or will buy brick and let the city do
it's own work.
1t was expected that a chief of police
would be elected to succeed the late
]. w. Dampier but the matter was
carried over. 1t was also expected
that the matter of trackage on Florida
avenue with the Georgia Southern
road would come up, but no reference
was made to it.
Hon. E. ]. McRee entertained seven
ty-five Of his friends at a f1sh-fry on
the bank of the Willacoochee river

dermen of the city were among the
guests. One hundred pounds of fish
was fried and the feast was spread out
in picnic style.

The De1nonico's
Bid for Business

Is not a sentimental appeal to enlist
sympathy, but a straight business
proposition to the people of Savannah
that they will live better and cheaper
if they will turn from the old way of
eating anything a grocer may want
to sell them and taking advantage of
the first Pure Food Store Savannah
has ever had. There must be some
thing in the doctrine of pure foods. be-
cause every Legislature in the country
is wrestling with ways and means to
prevent the adulteration of articles of
food and every session of Congress
deals with some phase of the food
question. While the statesmen have
dallied with the problem the Delmon-
leo has solved it, so far as its patrons
are concerned. by simply standing
guard for them and allowing no in
ferior foods to reach their tables.

Cumberland Breaks Her Pump.
After inspecting the fortifcations
and the work that is going on at
Tampa, Col. Quinn returned to Sa-
Vannah. He did not visit Fernandina,
as he had at first intended. Word
has been received at the engineers Of
fee, however, to the effect that the
hg a-going suction dredge Cum
berland has met with another acct
dent and is badly handicapped.
"A day or two ago while at work on
the shoal that has formed in the har-
Dor at Fernandina a large rock or
some substance of a similar nature
was sucked up by the big pump. The
result was the breaking of the pump
and rendering it totally unfit for work.
Notification of the accident has been
sent to the headquarters in Washing
ton and the big dredge will be fitted
out with a new pump as soon as
possible.
Since going to Fsrnandina the dredge
has met with almost continuous hard
luck and has not succeeded in ac-
complishing nearly as much work as
was expected. After reaching Fer
nandina she was compelled to lay up
for day or so until the new drags
were received and put in place. When
this equipment had been added, there
was continued spell of bad wealth
er, high winds prevailing, and it was
impossible for the boat to do any
work. The distance which she is COM
PEELED to go before unloading also re-
quired considerable time and deducted
from the number of hours during
which she was actually working. The
breaking of the pump is the last and
most serious of all the accidents.
The work of repairing will be car
ried on as soon as possible, all the
work being done at Fernandina. AS
soon as the dredge has been put in
first-class condition again she will be
recalled to Savannah and again take
up her work on Tybee knoll. Col.
Quinn is not vet able to state just
when the dredge will return, but no
time will be lost after she has been pun
in perfect condition to work again.

Paul Loubet, son of the French
President, lives in the Elysee, where
he acts as private secretary to his
father. He is rarely heard of, being
a quiet, retiring, though tactful, man,
with no particular fondness for public

amounts almost to worship, and when,

Loubet was hooted and insulted by
the Nationalist it was the son who
was the more indignant.
