a bundle of angleworms
when taken in the hand.

SHIPPED AS SAILOR
ROSCOE JESTER, ATLANTA BOY,
HAS GONE TO ROTTERDAM.
ARRESTED WEEKS AGO.
DIDN'T WANT TO RETURN To HIS
FATHER WHO UPBRAIDED HIM.

Young TESTERS Father Consented to
Voyage and Rev. John ID. Jordan,
Pastor of the First Baptist
Church, Made the Arrangements.
Ind Is on the British Steamship
Administer, Loaded With Cotton
for ROtte ndam-Came to Savannah
with WeIby Pugin and Was Made
Prisoner.
AS a member of the crew of the Brit
ish steamship Administer, bound for
Rotterdam with a cargo of cotton, Ros-
coe c. Jester, aged Is years, of Atlanta,
left Savannah yesterday morning. Ar
rangements for his voyage were
made by Rev. John D. Jordan, pastor
of the First Baptist Church.
Young Jester was arrested by Officer
Nose Davis on Nov. II and at the re-
quest of his father has been detained
at the police station. He had a revol-
yer concealed on his person when taken
in custody, but no formal charge was
lodged against him. He had stolen
the pistol and $45 from his father
on Oct. 80 and the arrest was made at
the request of the Atlanta police.
Waited to Go Aboard.
Although small for his age Jester is a
bright youngster and expressed a de-
sire to take a long voyage on some
steamship leaving this port. Il want to
get as far away as possible from my
father and start all over again." the
hoc priNpp half
a show and l want to get away and
make a man of myself. Ny father has
said all sorts of things about me and
branded me a desperate, now L hope
that he will consent to let me make q
trip across the water
The boy is almost an inveterate cigar
cite smoker and is very fond of read
ing. He does not, however, go in for
the yellow covered booklets that deal
with the -deviltry of the bold
bandits but rather leans towards the
romantic. During his stay in the
police station the youngster was given
standard magazines to read and was
not confined in cell. He was a model
prisoner and became quite friendly
with the turkeys. His long confine-
ment, however made him restless and
he was really glad when he was taken
from the prison to the vessel upon
which he is now sailing.
Beat His Way TO Savannah.
In company with Welby Pugin, an
other Atlanta boy, Jester came to Sa-
vannah, and put up at a house on West
Broad street. When Pugin left At
lanta he took with him a violin that
his father valued at $1,000. The boy
held to the musical instrument and
returned to his parents with it. No
request was made for his arrest, and
he went back home voluntarily. An
advertisement that the Pugin boys
to "come home" attracted a great deal
of attention at the time and inspired
several editorials. But Jester had left
his parental roof before and had no
idea of returning to his father. He
wanted to go to sea, his father con-
sented, and he is now bound for a
foreign land.

NO HOPE FOR CALVIN
ATTORNEYS GIVE UP THE FIGHT

Willie Calvin. the negro, who for the
second time was sentenced to hang,
will go to the gallows on Jan. % with
out further effort being made in his be-
half, his attorneys feeling that they
have done all that is possible to save
the negro.
Mr.. F. P. Salas, one of Calvin's at
torneys said yesterday that he saw
nothing further that could be done in
behald of the negro and he would
accept the last finding of the jury as
final.
Calvin is young negro, below me-
dunn hight and of athletic build. He
still strenuously denies his guilt, and
also confession that he was accused
of having made to a bailiff He has
nothing to say other than what he had
told the jury. Il am not guilty of MUIR

The finding of the first jury was as
unanimous as was the last, and Mr..
Salas does not see how anything else
can be done. IF the man is guilty"
he said, "he certainly has been
strenuous in his denial far beyond Or
binary. We had so much difficulty in
getting a new trial for him before,
in the face of the evidence, that 1 feel
that such a thing would be hopeless
now. There are no grounds that 1 can
find on which to ask for a new trial.,

Calvin receives visitors on regular
days at the Jail, and seems to be in
good spirits He takes great pride
in his personal appearance and al
ways keeps himself neat. He was pre-
scented with a new suit of clothes by
his friends some time ago, and he
keeps this in faultless condition.

PUBLIC SCHOOLS
WILL CLOSE TO-DAY.
VIII Reopen January for Winter
and Spring Terms.


The public schools will close for the
holidays this afternoon at O'Clock.
The pupils have been engaged in their
examinations during the latter part
of last week, and on Monday and Tues
day of this week. The few subjects
in which examinations are yet to be
taken will be completed to-day, and
at the usual closing hour the children
Will be dismissed until the opening
Of the winter term, on Jan. 4.
There will be no closing exercises
The teachers in the various grades
Will simply announce the close of the
schools for the holidays, and their re-
opening on Jan. 4. The children will
also be urged to keep down their hoI-
day enthusiasm to the limits set by
ordnance, it being the desire of the
schools to do what they can to aid
the city in preserving order on Christ
mas Eve.
The term which has just closed has
been very successful one in every
sense of the word. The schools opened
promptly on the day announced and
with no appreciate delay all the classes
were started in their regular work.
From that time on the work has pro-
crossed smoothly and rapidly and con-
siderable Roadway has been made.
This term also saw the introduce
ton of the new branch, physical train
ing, into the regular school curricu-
lum. The methods of the work have
been fully explained to the teachers
by the directress, Miss Sara CharI-
ton, and they have been conducting
the work satisfactorily
Among the colored schools every
thing has been moving very well, and
IN accordance with the plans of Supt.
Ashmore. The new school for colored
children, on West Maple street. has
aided greatly in accommodating color
ed pupils. The enrolment of colorad
children also shows a large increase
this year.
The Benedictine College will close its
doors for the holidays at o'clock this
afternoon. 1t will reopen for the fall
and winter term ON Ian.

WANT NEGRO TROOPS
DlSBANDED.
Resolution with That object win
Come Before Officers Assn,

Resolution with That Object win
Come Before Officers Assn.
1t is now an established fact that
when the members of the Officers As
sociation, Georgia State Troops, meet
in Savannah, Dec. 81, to attend the
meeting of the Executive Committee, a
resolution recommending that the col
ored troops of the state be disbanded
will be introduced. 1t is stated fur
Their that the sentiment of the person.
mel of the association is such on this
question that there is little doubt that
the resolution will be passed.
Should the resolution meet the APP
prevail of this association, be recon-
mended by the Advisory Board and be
made effective by the state authorities,
1t will result, say those in favor of the
proposition, in securing for the white
companies, a greater and better equip
ment than they have at present and
will in other ways conduce to the good
OF the remaining troops.
Col. p. W. Meldrim, who is a men,
Der of the Executive Committee of the
Officers Association, was asked yes
terday for an expression of his views
on the proposition to reduce the white
force of the state and to disband the
colored troops, but he declined to ex-
press an opinion on either matter, as
he said, he knew nothing of them other
that what he had seen in the Morn
ing News.

NOVELTIES IN FIREWORKS.

From pyrotechnic standpoint
Christmas in Savannah will be even
more brilliant and more noisy than it
has been in former years. This is
the only inference that can be drawn
from the unusually large sales of all
kinds of peppers, rockets and roman
CANDLES, not to mention a number of
novelties in the form of wheels, fire
tops, etc.
Among the most interesting of the
novelties this year are several kinds
of specially prepared matches. When
lighted, they either explode, or, ac-
cording to their kind. present a bril-
liant shower of colored sparks. In
their search for novelties the manu-
facturer has even made some special
cigars that when lighted burn natur-
ally for few minutes only to shoot
out a stream of colored fire as soon
as the flame finds its way to a lit
tie fuse that has been concealed in
the tobacco.

CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES
NOT FIGURED ON.
But Property Owners Gives Formal
Notice on Subway Plan.

At to-night's session of City Coun-
Gil letter from Anton P. Wright, ESD,
owner of several lots of land fronting
on Gwinnett street, putting the city
on notice that he will hold it liable in
case of damage from the construc-
ton of subway at the Atlantic Coast
Line crossing, will be read.
1t was said at the City Exchange
that Mr.. Wrights letter was simply
formal notification of the fact that
IN the event his property should be
damaged he would hold the city liable
The city officers say that under the
subway plans, agreed upon there can be
no consequential damages, and they do
not fear that there will be any trou-
BILE.
If the construction of the subway
should damage any of the property the
city will have to suffer the conse-
quences, but it is said under the plans
drawn by Assistant City Engineer
Howard consequential damages is out
of the question.
In his letter to Council Mr.. Wright
says: Il stand ready at all times to
meet the city in a friendly spirit with
a view to amicably arriving at the
Damage which will be sustained by said
lots by reason of said tunnel"
The meeting of Council promises to
be an uneventful one, although the al
dermen will probably be in session for
a considerable time. The budget for
1904, already printed in the Morning
News, and the new tax ordinance will
have to be read and passed. The minor
changes made in the tax ordinance
have already been noted in the Morn
ing News and will be passed upon as
agreed in caucus. A large number of
applications for liquor licenses wifi be
granted. and the usual routine matters
will be disposed of.

early hour this morning he was con-
scious, but no hope is entertained for
his recovery.

WHY COLLECTIONS ARE
FAR BEHIND.
Farmers still Holding Their Cotton
and Paying interest


What is causing such poor collections
is question that every business man
is asking himself, as well as others and
there seems to be little occasion for the
hardness with which collections are
coming in this year. Not only has this
been shown in the tax collections but
also in all other branches of trade.
Manager Willett of the Savannah Of
nee OF the Virginia. Carolina Chemical
Company. said yesterday that he be-
heVes the cause for the present status
OF collections in all lines of business is
que TO the fact that farmers are hold
ing out for 15-cent cotton.
1t is an actual fact" said Mr.. Will
lett, that there are hundreds and hun
dreds of planters throughout the state
who believe that the price of cotton will
go TO ID cents and they are holding on
to what they have, and staving off their
obligations as long as possible. At the
beginning of the season so many papers
were discounted that / thought collec-
ttons would be record breaking, but
there was sudden cessation and 1 see
that all lines of business are far be-
hind in their collections"
The fact that collections from the in
terror have been slow has not affected
the local retail trade. Merchants re-
port that they have about all the bust
ness they can attend to.
Never has there been such a rush at
the poStoffice in all departments. The
stamp window was besieged yesterday
afternoon and one had to take his turn
in line to get stamps. The same thing
was true at the money order and regis
try windows.
Christmas shoppers are filing their
wants earlier than they have hereto
fore which will greatly relieve the final
congestion in retail trade that nearly
| always takes place on Christmas Eve.

NAVAL STORES EXHIBIT
FOR ST. LOUIS.
Mr.. John II. YOung's Idea as to What
1t Should Be.

1t Should Be. re-.
Mr. John r.. Young is chairman Of a
citizens committee soon to be appoint
ed to prepare a naval stores exhibit for
Savannah for the Columbian Expo
sition at st. Louis. If the plans are
carried out the exhibit will be one of
the most pretentious the naval stores
people have ever made. and it is ex-
pected will be of great benefit to this
seetion.
Mr.. Young has not yet definitely ar
ranged plans. though this will be- done
as soon as the committee is appointed
and got together. Mr.. Youngs idea is
to install at the Savannah Board of
Trade such an exhibit as it is believed
will be the proper one for st. Louis,
and let the one to go to st. Louis be a
duplicate of the Board of Trade exhibit.
The advantages to be gained by placing
an exhibit in the Board of Trade will
be the criticisms of members, who can
make suggestions and better enable the
committee to prepare an exhibit that
will be illustrative of the naval stores
industry. Speaking of the exhibit Mr..
Young said:
MY opinion is the exhibit of the ma
val stores industry at st. Louis will be
a great benefit to Savannah and this
entire section. 1t Will let them know
what we have here. Our turpentine is
sold all through the West to large con-
sumers. to whom the processes of its
manufacture and information connect
ed with the gathering of the crop will
be of interest. This will be the first
exhibit of naval stores made at an in
ternational exposition. We want to
push this matter aggressively. for it
will be help to the commercial inter-
ests of the city. Naval stores products
are a big item for Savannah. and the
more they are advertised among
strangers the better it will be for u.s."

FIVE THOUSAND SEEDLINGS
HAVE BEEN PLANTED.
Park and Tree Commission MT Work
In the Tree Nursery.


In the Tree Nursery.
The Park and Tree Commission has
finished its work of transplanting in the
Tree Nursery and in the neighborhood
of 5000 seedlings have been put in the
ground.
1t will be two or three years before
these young trees will have grown suf-
ficiently to be brought to the city and
replanted. There are trees of almost
every variety in the collection and
within few years Savannah will have
we'll equipped nursery. The usual
percentage of loss is figured on and
seedlings will be set out from time to
time.
Chairman Daffin of the commission is
very well pleased with the Tree Nurs-
cry and says that it will be almost
invaluable in few years. The COM
mission, he says. will only be able to
keep up the squares and parks during
1904 and few improvements can be
made under the appropriation agreed
upon by Council. The commission will
not have a sufficient sum at it's dis
posal to be able to do anything elabor-
ate in the way of identifying the
squares and parks.
