once consulted by a physician as to

The Children.

ended,
And the school for the day is dis
missed
And the little ones gather around me
To bid me goodnight and be kissed;
Oh, the little white arms that encircle
Ny neck in a tender embrace!
Oh, the smiles that are halos of heaven,
Shedding sunshine of love on my
face!
And when they are gone, 1 sit dream
ing
OF my childhood too lovely to last;
OF love, that my heart will remember
past.
Ere the world and its wickedness
made me
A partner Of sorrow and sin,
When the glory Of God was about me,
And the glory Of gladness within.
Oh! the heart grows weak as a wom-
ans,
And the fountain of feelings will
flow,
When I think of the paths steep and
stony
Where the feet of the dear ones
must go;
OF the mountains of sin hanging DER
them,
Of the tempest of fate blowing wild;
Oh, there is nothing on earth half so
holy
AS the innocent heart of a child.
They are idols of hearts and of house
holds.
They are angels of God in disguise,
His sunlight still sleeps in their
tresses.
His glory still CLEANS in their eyes;
Oh, these truants from home and from
heaven.
They have made me more manly and
mild,
And 1 know how Jesus could liken
The kingdom Of God to child
I ask for life for the dear ones,
All radiant as others have done,
But that life may have just enough
shadow
To temper the glare of the sun;
would pray God to guard them from
evil,
But my prayers would bound back
to myself;
All, a seraph may pray for sinner,
But sinner must pray for himself.
The twig is so easily Bonded,
have banished the rule and the rod !;
have taught them the goodness Of
knowledge,
They have taught me the goodness
of God.
My heart is a dungeon Of darkness,
Where shut them from breaking a
rule;
My frown is sufficient correction,
My love is the law of the school.
I shall leave the old house in the
autumn,
To traverse it's threshold no more
All, how shall sigh for the dear ones
That meet me each morn at the door.
shall miss the good night and the
kisses,
And the gush of their innocent glee,
The group on the green, and the
flowers
That are brought every morning to
me.
shall miss them at morn and at even,
Their song in the school and the
street,
shall miss the low hum of their
voices,
And the tramp of their delicate feet.
When the lessons and tasks are all
ended.
And Death says, 'The school is dis
missed"
May the little ones gather around me,
TO bid me goodnight and he kissed.

POOL ROOM MUST GO
RECENTLY STARTED TURF EX-
CHANGE THING OF THE PAST.
POLICE WERE TIPPED OFF.
If PLACE Is OPEN TODAY AR
RESTS WILL BE MADE.

Report of the Existence of the Pool
Room Made to the Superintendent
of Police Several Hours After the
Afternoon Races Had Been Run.
Place Was started Several Days
Ago on st. Julian Street, Near
CITY Market-Hand Book System
Had Been Used Before.
A turf exchange, or pool room, OPEN
ed on ST. Julian street, near the City
Market, several days ago, has lived
brief life.
1t was brought to the attention of
the superintendent OF police last night
that such a place was being operated,
and the statement was made that in
the event it is in existence to-day it
will be closed and the proprietors and
PLAYERS will be arrested.
When the tax ordinance for the pres
ent year was made up by City Council
it was stipulated that pool rooms
would have to pay $1,000 for the priv
lege of doing business in the city. This
amount was collected from the only
pool room in existence, but when the
Supreme Court held that pool rooms
were contrary to the law, it closed it's
doors.
But the fascination for those who
have played the ponies is strong, and
when the Turf Exchange went out of
business the players were not content.
A large number of bets were telegraph
ed daily to Charleston and other cities,
and tips were played with almost as
much ease as when the pool room was
in full blast. Realizing that the game
was still going on, and that those who
follow the horses are bound to bet,
even if they have to telegraph to New
York, some of the local fraternity be-
gan a kind of hand book system.
The entries in races were secured
by wire and a player would pick his
horse and play it without knowing the
odds. In making bet he would state
whether he wanted to wager on the
odds that would be given in the AS
ISOLATED Press account of the race, or
the opening or closing odds as would
appear in the New York papers day
later. The results were not secured
until the Associated Press account
reached the city during the night, and
the Morning News was kept busy an
swering questions as to the winner in
the first race at Sheepshead, or the
last at New Orleans.
The play became too big for the
hand book system, and several days
ago a ticker was put in and a pool
room was started on the quiet But
the last race was run yesterday, and
the last ticket was cashed in on the
last race at New Orleans.

WILL OF THE LATE
THOMAS N. THEUS.
4 Number of Charities Mentioned I'm
Its Provisions.

4 Number of Charities Mentioned I'm
Its Provisions.
The will of the late Thomas N. Theus
will be probated next month. Among
it's provisions are a variety of requests
to individuals and charities. The exc
cutors of the estate are Mr.. S. e.
Theus and Mr.. j. C. Harris.
Mr. Theus bequeathed his property
largely to relatives, provision being
made in a number of instances that
the amounts bequeathed should go to
charities in event the parties to whom
requests were made did not survive
him. The will was made five years
ago.
Among the charities mentioned
in it are the Union Society, which
conditiOnally was bequeathed $4,000; the
Female Orphan Asylum, $1,000, and the
Abrahams Home $500. Under provis-
ions and alterations made in the will
it is difficult to say whether any of
these institutions will secure the
amounts mentioned. Mr.. S. E. Theus
and his son, are among the principal
benefciaries. Miss Maud Harris,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. J. G. Harris
is bequeathed the house and lot at
Drayton street and Waldburg lane,
with it's contents, and a $1,000 life in
surance policy. Her sister, Miss May
Harris, also receives a liberal amount
Other relatives receive various amounts
from 81, 900 to $4,000.

MANY REMEMBERED
HAVING SEEN SUSPECTS.
Pictures of Alleged Safe Blowers
Attracted Attention.


There were many people in Savannah
who recognized the pictures of the
alleged safe blowers published in the
Morning News yesterday, as men they
saw during the recent fair and race
meet, and there is no longer any doubt
that they were both here at that time.
The taller man. Duncan, was readily
recalled by a larger number who could
not remember having seen Clark. The
fact that there has been no let up in
the number of safe robberies in the
South since the arrest of the men held
in Mobile does not spell anything to
the police. The officers say that there
is, as rule, an organized band whose
members operate in pairs, and indie
pendently.
At the close of a season they meet
in one of the large Northern or West
ern cities where the work of the year
is gone over and the spoils are shared.
This is a fact we'll known to all po-
lice departments, and the police are
never surprised when robberies con-
tinue after arrests have been made.
These robbers stick together and never
forget a pal who has been caught.
They are tireless in their efforts, from
a distance, to help the man in the
hands of the authorities, and 1t is often
because of this help that a safe robber,
who has been convicted is able to make
his escape. When on the road the rob-
bers ship their surplus cash to head
quarters, where 1t is kept until the
members of the band return. or are
accounted for.

PRETTY POINT OF LAW
INVOLVED IN WILL CASE.
Germania Bank Administrator for
Estate VIII Fight Administration.

Germania Bank Administrator for
Estate VIII Fight Administration.
An interesting contention is pending
before the Ordinary in the case of the
appointment of an administrator of the
estate of Lucy E. Rice, in which the
Germania Bank is both defendant and
plaintiff.
Several days ago, w. H. Wade, Esq,
county administrator, applied for let
tiers of administration on the estate
of Lucy +. Rice at the instance of
the only beneficiary living in Georgia.
At the instance of three other bene-
ficiaries living out of the state, the
Germania Bank also applied for let
ters, and filed a caveat to the grant
ing of letters to Mr.. Wade. In his de-
cision Judge McAlpin held that as a
majority of the beneficiaries had Sc
leceted the bank he would grant the
cdveat and appoint the bank admins
traitor for the estate. An answer was
filed by the county administrator in
which it was cited that there were ST.
400 in money belonging to the estate
on deposit at the Germania Bank, and
under the constitution of the state the
bank had no right to act as admins
itrator.
Yesterday an appraisement of the
property of the estate was filed by
the bank, in which the $1,400 was omit
ted as it appeared that provision had
already been made for the disposition
of this money to one of the heirs who
resides out of the state, and will not
submit to administration.
A contest will now be made to have
the 81 400 made a part of the estate
of the deceased and the bank will be in
the position of defending administra-
ton on this amount, and at the same
time acting as administrator for the
estate. The appraisement filed was as

FLEECED COUNTRY NEGRO
WITH AN OLD GAME.
Man from BurtOn's Ferry Was SeDa-
rated from SIS.

rated from SIS
By means of an old game Adolph
Knowles, a negro from Burton's Ferry
was separated from $28 of his money
at Liberty and West Broad streets last
night by two negro sharpers.
The negro from the country was
walking on West Broad street, when a
man passed him, going in the same di-
rection. He dropped a tobacco bag,
and about the same time a second ne
gro got abreast of Knowles. The sec
ond stranger picked the bag up and
showed the country negro that it con-
tanned money.
The stranger was liberal and agreed
to divide with Knowles. There was II
cents in the bag and Knowles was
given cents. while the stranger kept
e. No sooner had the money been di-
vded than it occurred to the stranger
that the man who had dropped the bag
might be penniless, and that it would
be the proper thing to call him back.
This was done and the negro who had
passed Knowles first declared that he
could prove the bag was his because 1t
had II cents in it.
The second stranger said that 1t
didn't have II cents in it, and declared
that he would bet he knew what he
was talking about. The first man was
equally as positive and Knowles fought
to get in on the good thing. He knew
that there was only six cents in the
bag, because he had cents of the IL,
and promptly placed $2S of his SAB in
the hands of the man who had first
picked the bag up. While the negro
who had dropped the bag was pretend
ing to be looking for money with which
to bet the country negro, the stake
holder ran down West Broad street and
made his escape. Knowles reported his
loss at police headquarters, but the
police were unable to locate either of
the swindlers.

interest that accrues, will be divided
pro rata, according to the amount
saved by each man, at the end of the
year. The Savannah Trust Company
has been named as the depository.
The organization will conduct no

reviewing the tax ordinance Only a

were included with those having their
plants in the city, and cook stands
were left out of the ordinance. The
pool room license was cut out. In no
case was any specific tax reduced.
No action was taken on the fruit
stands. Mayor Myers opposed the plan
to make fruit dealers who used the
sidewalks pay 500. The Mayor said
that he did not think this action should
be taken unless those interested were
given an opportunity to be heard and
the aldermen agreed to let the matter
alone for the present.
