FRESH AIR HOME
CLOSED FOR SEASON.
Many Poor Children Enjoyed Vaca-

tiOns on Sands at Tybee.
The Fresh Air Home at Tybee, where
hundreds of the city's poor children are
given a weeks vacation every year,
has closed after the most successful
season in its history.
During the past four months more
than $50 children were given a vaca-
ton at the home. The average num-
Der of children there all the time was
thirty, and the average length of their
stay about nine days. The little folks
were of all ages from l year to 13, and
the sexes were about evenly repre-
scented.
Seldom during their lives will they
find a more pleasant period than the
time they spend at Tybee each sum-
mer. The ladies having charge of the
home take the children from all parts
mourning any expense whatever, they
send them to the home at Tybee,
where they stay a week, or sometimes
two weeks. Healthy, beautiful and
adapted in every way as a childrens
playground, Tybee is an ideal place
for such an institution. The home is
equipped with plenty of bathing suits

surf, play over the sand hills, roam at

any games they care to. They have
absolute freedom so long as their con-
duct is good and the kind matron of
the home, Miss Ada Hull, attends to
all their needs, nursing any that are
sick and giving the others the most
careful attention.
During the entire time the children
are at the home they are fed and pro-
vided with clean clothes and given ex-
cellent sleeping accommodations. One
who has not seen them playing on the
beach can little imagine what it means
to them to be given such an outing.
Many of them would never get out of
the dirt and dust of the city were it
not for this home, as all are the chill

were about ten children more at the

BODY OF WHITE BABY
FOUND IN CARTON.
Coroner Keller Called and Had
Body Sent to the MOrgue.


The body of a prematurely-bo
white baby girl was found yesterday
in the old Conkling building in Factors
Row, at the foot of Montgomery street.
The find was made by a small boy who
was roaming through the building and
was at once reported to the author
tiles. Coroner Keller was notified by
Police Deck Sergeant McCool and
went to the building. After making
an investigation he had the body sent
to the morgue.
The boy who found the body would
not give his name and seemed badly
frightened by the sruesome discovery.
The infant had been placed in one of
the cartons in which 60 whisky is
packed and then thrown into a corner
of the building. The body was badly
deeomposed and the coroner stated
that it had probably been in the build
ing since Sunday at the very latest.
The authorities have no clue upon
which to work.
Coroner Keller stated that such
occurrences have become very
common of late and that both
he and Health officer Brun-
ner are doing all that they can to dis
cover the guilty parties. If any of
the guilty ones are identified they will
be prosecuted to the full extent of the
law and nothing will be left undone
to secure a conviction. A more COM
plete investigation into the case viii
be made in the hope that there may
be some clue found which will lead to
the detection and conviction of the
parties implicated,

Yesterdays Receipts 5000 Bales,
Compared With 5000 a Year Ago.
The expected rush of new cotton did
not develop yesterday though the re-
ceipts were not exactly disappointing.
Something over 5000 bales arrived,
against 5000 last year.
Cotton men ascribe this hardness in
the movement of the stable to the fact
that the mills have representatives in
all of the small towns, who are COB
bling up the cotton nearly as fast as
1t is brought in, and are paying better
prices than the exporters can afford to
pay at this time.
The slump of a quarter of a cent will
retard the shipments for export for a
day or two, and though it will hardly
effect to-day's receipts, the effect will
be felt during the remainder of the
week, unless there is a strong reaction
in the market before Friday.
There is enough cotton on hand to

day to keep them going. Several of
the large steamers have left their
berths and are now lying alongside the
various wharfs from which they will

The coastwise exports for this week
will be much larger than the foreign
business, as it is hardly probable that
any of the big tramps will get out be-

CENTRAL'S MACHINlSTS
ON STRIKE.
Those at Macon Out Because savan-
nah Men Get More Pay.


Supt. T. D. Kline. of the Cen
trail of Georgia Railway, returned
yesterday afternoon from Macon, where
he has been trying to adjust matters
with the machinists in the Centrals
shops, who have asked for an increase
of pay.
The cause of the demands made by
the Macon machinists is said to be
that the pay of the machinists in the
Savannah shops was raised 215 cents
per hour. President Egan said yes
terday that the pay of a few of the
employees of the road was raised seve-
raj weeks ago, but that no general ad-
vance in pay has been made. When
asked about the difficulties in Macon
he said that he was not familiar with
the situation. Supt. Kline could
not be found UP to a late hour
last night. He was neither at the De
Soto nor at his office.
The information conveyed by an AS
ISOLATED Press dispatch from Macon
is that the Macon ntachinists walked
out yesterday morning after receiving
Supt. Kline's decision not to grant
the advanced asked for. The dis
patch says:
THE machinists in the shops of the
Central of Georgia Railway Company
of Macon quit work this morning be-
cause they were refused ap increase
of 212 cents an hour in wages. Supt.
Kline left for Savannah after fail
ing to reach an agreement with the
men. The machinists have struck,
it is said, because an adavnce
of wages had been granted in the
Savannah shops of the company
and not here"
A special to the Morning News says:
Seventy machinists and apprentice
boys quit work to-day because the
company refused an advance of 10 per
cent. in wages. The price paid here
tofore was So per day. The strike is
not a union matter

SCHOOL VACATION DAYS
NEARING AN END.
School Boys and Girls Getting
Ready for Books and States.

Ready for Books and States.
Like an approaching fast express is
the dreaded end of vacation days to the
school boy and girl. the nearer it gets
the faster 1t seems to come. Though
the youthful minds have not yet been
seriously disturbed by the nearness of
the opening of The fall school season, in
a few more days there will be gentle
reminders on the part of mamas, who
commence their prepare tons for the
winter.
The fall season opens in the pubic
schools on Oct. 5, a few days later than
the majority of the Pnb;ic schools of
the state. All during the hot sumner
days Slpt. Ashmore has been busy ar
ranging for the opening day, and has
had 1.-THE extra work of preparing the
school census.
OF the 11,750 school children in Sa.
vannah, there are only 1888 who have
never attended school, a record perhaps
unsurpassed even in Massachusetts.
This includes blacks as well as whites,
and within the last five years the num-
Der Of children who have not attended
school has been reduced by one-third.
Supt. Ashmore expects the attend
ance this fall to exceed that of last
year by between 100 and 1900. This
will be the largest yearly increase in
the history Of the schools, and is ex-
planned by the general prosperity that
prevails.
r In 1898 there were 1882 children in
the city who had never attended school
of any kind
h. 10 -
number of families have moved into
the city. and this will largely effect the
comparative attendance in the county
and in the city. The entire school pop
ulation of the county is 1925, an in
crease of 12.1 per cent. over 1898. OF
this number 1859 are white and 1885
are colored
