FLOWERS FOR OLD STAMPS.
Unique Method by which Wife of
Rector of a Chicago Church
Gets Weekly supply.

A unique method of supplying 3
church with flowers for the Sunday
morning service has been discovered
by Mrs. William White Wilson, wife
ol the rector OF St Marks Episcopal
church, Chicago. For some time Mrs.
Wilson has been making a collection
of cancelled postage stamps among the
communicates OF the church from
whom she receives them in such num-
bers that she sometimes has as many
as $4,000 In stock at q time. They
are turned over to a florist, who has
a contract to fill the two vases on the
church altar with flowers every Sunday
in return. BY this scheme the floral
offerings Of the church are secured
without any drain on the treasury.
The florists contract calls for fow-
ers to the value OF $3.50 for each serv-
ice. This requires 1880 stamps each
week. eight cents a thousand being the
price agreed upon. In order to keep
pace with this enormous demand for
stamps the communicates OF the
church have enlisted the assistance OF
such Of their friends as are connected
with downtown Offices handling a large
volume of mail. From these sources
stamps by the thousands are received
and sent to the rector's house. One
man who is not a communicate Of the
church recently sent stamps to the
number Of 10000. A member Of the
congregation who is employed In the
post Office sends In a contribution sew
eral times a year, each consignment
containing about 10000 stamps
The task of counting the individual
stamps proving tiresoms. Mrs. Wilson
has adopted the plan of measuring
them in a small cardboard box con-
tanning approximately 300. Several
times a year the florist comes to col
lect his bill at the parsonage, return
ing with wagonload Of pay in the
shape of boxes and bags Of stamps to
the number of several hundred thous-
sand.
The stamps are sold to a dealer who
sorts them over In search of rare speci-
mems and sends the rest abroad. They
are used for decorative purposes and
in the manufacture of papier mache.

The Savannah morning news. (Savannah, Ga.) 1900-current, 1903-04-09

Indications point to an unprecedent-
ed rush to the marvellous agricultural
regions of the Northwest and thou
sands of homeseekers from all parts of
the East are already on their way to
take up government lands, or purchase
them outright.
Vast bodies of land are open to any
taker on payment of small fees. The
state of Oregon has nearly 500, 900
acres of selected school lands that it
offers at $1.25 per acre, only Csc an
acre of it cash and the rest on long
time.
This wonderful region has been aptly
termed "A land of gold and golden
grain" where crops never fail and the
rewards of intelligent industry are GER
tain. The climate for mildness and
equability is unrivalled anywhere.
No other part of the United States
or of the world has greater or more
valuable opportunities to offer to intel
ligent and industrious seekers of homes
and competence than the Pacific
Northwest, Oregon, Washington or
Idaho.
To enable persons to reach these To-
calities at a minimum expense, the
Union Pacific has arranged, beginning
with the third Tuesday of March and
the first and third Tuesdays of every
month until July Is, 1908, a round trip
rate of one fare plus $500 to the West.

CHICKEN OWNERS DOCKETED.
Six Must Answer for Allowing

Six Must Answer for Allowing
Their Fowls to Run at Large.
Following frequent complaint at po-
lice headquarters six persons were
yesterday placed on the information
docket charged with allowing their
chickens to run at large. They will
be arraigned in Police Court to-mor-
row.
There is an ordinance prohibiting
owners of fowls letting them run at
large and a great deal of damage has
been done in the southern section of
the city because the ordinance has not
been properly observed. Flower gar
dens and grass plots have been de-
stroyed, or badly damaged, and COM
plants have been piling in at police
headquarters. Those who were care
less in that they did not keep their
chickens locked up were given warn
ing repeatedly and the uniformed men
have now been instructed to docket all
persons found violating the ordinance.

bright and early to receive and pilot

run on Eastern time.
Matters Before the Convention.

interesting papers of the convention.
Mr.. Krauss has been an interchangeable
worker for Interchangeable mileage
and this subject will be touched upon
at great length in his report. He has
secured the Endorsement of the officers
of the Chamber of Commerce and his
report will show that he hopes, within
the very near future, to secure the
desired concessions from the few re-
naming roads that do not sell inter
changeable mileage books. The bust

$4,000 Per Bottle.

This seems a pretty big price to pay
for a single bottle of medicine. and yet
If you consider the matter rightly, it
is a very cheap price for a bottle OF
Johnsons Tonic.
Here is what fixes its value:
First. No man can die of fever who
uses it half way right.
Second. No other medicine can cure
a bad attack of grip.
500 is dirt cheap for this wonderful
medicine, and yet you can buy it for so
cents a bottle.
Don't buy it from substitutors. Your
health and happiness is your business,
and making money out of you is their
business.
Buy the honest Johnson's Tonic. Take
no counterfeit or substitute.-ad.

Popular Actor Crossed the CONT
nent to Join His Fathers Lodge.
Mr.. James Francis NeilI, popular
and successful actor and all round
good fellow, reached Savannah yes
terday with his brother, Mr.. Edwin
H. Neill, for the purpose of joining the
Masonic order, and last night, before
a large attendance of the fraternity he
received the first degree in Clinton
Lodge No. 81. Mr.. NeilIs father had
been member of Clinton and the son
crossed the continent to join his
fathers lodge.
The degree was conferred by Wor-
shipful Master Solomon Hirsch, as
sisted by the officers of the lodge. The
other of the blue lodge degrees will be
given shortly, the Fellowcraft degree
Saturday night and the Master Mason
degree Monday night. 1t was neces-
sary to give them close together be-
cause of Mr.. NeilPs limited stay.
Mr.. Neill is a Savannahian and is
proud of his home. This is his first
visit here in four years, but he still
registers from Savannah, and so sign
ed himself at the De Soto, where, with
his brother, he is a guest.

Mr.. Neill's own company, the James

Neill will remain in Savannah about a
week. Mrs. Neill and niece are in
Rochester, N. Y. They will join Mr.
Neill and his brother in New York city

will sail for England May 2. After a
couple of weeks in London they will
go to France, returning to this coun-
try the latter part of June, when Mr.
NeilPs company will reassemble at Los
Angeles, Cal, to open the season there
in July.
Mr.. Neill has not only been success
full as an actor and theatrical man

rected him in successful investments
in the west through which he has
amassed a considerable fortune, al
though four years since he was here,
Mr. Neill has kept in close touch with
Savannah. He is a believer in it's

THIEF'S DARING WORK.
Stole Plants and Made Escape in n
Street Wagon.

While members of the family were
sitting in the parlor a thief entered the
premises of DR.. I. A. Gibson, at Boil
ton and Habersham streets. shortly
after o'clock last night, and stole
two potted plants from the front piaz-
"a. He was detected leaving the yard,
but made his escape in a wagon.
Mrs. Gibson heard some one walk on
the piazza and went to the door to
make an investigation: A burly negro
man was walking down the steps when
she opened the door. When asked what
he wanted he boldly answered that he
had a package and had made a mis-
take in the number that he was look
ing for. The thief was getting into the
wagon when the discovery was made
that the plants had been taken. The
alarm was given and the negro was
chased to the tracks of the Atlantic
Coast Line on Bolton street. He man.

The committee will meet at o'clock
