LOCAL FREIGHT AGENTS
PLAN FOR CONVENTION

The delegates and visitors to the an
nual convention of American Associa-
ton of Local Freight Agents Asso-
citation will be well taken care of. This
is shown by the plans that were an
nounced at a meeting of the general
committee in charge of the preparations
for the convention which met in the
City Exchange yesterday afternoon.
According to these plans the head
quarters of the delegates will be the
De Soto, where on the first day of the
convention, an informal reception will
be held one hour before the business
session begins. Arrangements for
quarters for the visitors have also been
made with the De Soto, the Pulaski
and with private persons. so that all
who come will be taken care of with
out trouble, having only to specify
what they need in the way of accom-
modations. The business sessions will
be held in either Guards Hall or the
theater. Both are now under consider
alton.
1t is proposed that the afternoon of
the 10th and the 18th shall be devoted
to enjoyment purely and to this end
it is expected that on the first of these
days trip will be made down the
river on a steamer of either the Ocean
Steamship Company's or of the Mer-
chants and Miners Transportation
Company's. Refreshments and music
will be provided, and the return be
made by moonlight.
The following afternoon a visit will
be made by special train to Tybee, a
stop made to inspect Fort Screven, pro-

When you have successfully worried

arrives proceed homeward, using the
rules previously given during the trip.
No doubt the menu handed you at the
table will rival a banquet at Sherry S,
but once more be careful. Your good
wife is waiting to trap you, and the
sure way to comfort is to confine your
meal to bread and butter. Pudding Is
addicted to the cotton habit on April

sugar by mistake and even the inno-

about somebody having stolen his blcy-
Gle lamp is also to be treated lightly.
1t will be just as we'll not to- smoke
any of the cigars that your wife brings
you so thoughfully from the library.
April l cigars are occasionally found
to be something worse than pure Sa-
vannah filler and smoke very much
like tarred rope, even if they don't eX-
plode. On leaving the house decline
with thanks all invitations to suppers,
entertainments and surprise parties;
The opera company did not come and
surprise parties are delusion on such
nights as this.
The afternoon at the office will be
observed about the same as the morn
ing. The stenographer will likely fool
you by not coming back at all-but
that it not serious and will be over
locked. The office boy will be so busy
that he'll not annoy you. This is one
of his days and if he doesn't get kill
ed for some of his pranks he will re-
port for duty tomorrow.
Go to Bed Early.
Tonight all persons wishing to es-
cape the humility of being April fool
ed wifi retire early, after turning the
carefully shaking out the
sheets and changing sides with the pill
lows. The electric light may be cut off,
but any man knows his bearings at
home and as the emergency lamp is
almost certain to be filled with water
and the match box with toothpicks it
is just as we'll to run up the curtains
and retire by the light of the new
moon.
During the day water may be drunk
freely, If taken from the faucets. The
water department has not played any
April / tricks since early in the eighties,
when it turned on the salt, just after
a storm that came up the river.

Trying TO Establish the Insanity of
Their Rich Old Relative.
The litigation wherein the Massa-

endeavoring to reclaim large tracts of
land in Savannah and the country trib-
utary will terminate to-day in the
United States court with the argument
of counsel, and the questions present.
ed will be taken under advisement by
Judge Speer. Judge Adams will con-
clude his argument which was begun
yesterday, after which Col. P. w. Mel
drim will close for the plaintiffs.
The proceedings yesterday were at
tended with a great deal of interest.
In his argument sMr. Washington of
Macon contended that the grossly in
adequate price paid for the
property by defendants smacked
of fraud, and left the bur-
den on them to disprove the natural
inference. The fact that old man Bar
stow was insane was, he contended.
borne out by the evidence, since it
was cOnclusively shown that although
he was possessed of considerable prop
erty, he died in want in lonely hut
in which he had lived a recluse; that
he frequently declared that he could
see ghosts that strong drink had been
one of the factors in dethroning his
reason.

admitting that the old man was ad-

secured, then the remainder of the aft

supper will be served, and where also
a ball will be given later in the even
ing.
To make the stay in Savannah the
pleasanter an effort will be made to
have the clubs of the city extend their
privileges TO all members of the as
ISOLATION during their stay here and
an effort will be made to have the
Telfair Academy opened to the visitors.
There's plenty of work cut out for the
entertainment committee and so yester-
day n number of additions were made
to it's membership. Those added are:
Messrs. b. B. Neal. John r. Young,
Cecil Gabbett, George A. Cosens.
Sam Ross, J. F. c. Myers, w. w.
Starr, George NJ. Gadsden, E H.
O'Connor, w. J. Donlan II. Jensen and

The Transportation Committee was
not prepared to submit a report. but
Mr.. Papy stated in reference to a dis
cussion of its plans that it had been
found that the liVerymen will not rent
carriages for less than 81, and, there
fore, he favored that the carriage ride
for the ladies be eliminated altogether.
and that instead a trolley ride to the
various resorts and about the city be
arranged.
Mr.. Papy also, as chairman of the
Committee of Programme and Badges
submitted number of handsome views
of the city, which it is his purpose to
embody in the programme. This he
dishes 1t to illustrate Savannah
and to be sufficiently attractive to be-
! come souvenir of the trip and the
city. He was authorized by the meet
ing to make a contract with the Morn

as he may see fit, and further is au-
thorized to contract for a supply of

1t was announced that the committee
has fund of $500 to spend in behalf
OF the convention, consequently every

style. The meeting was adjourned sub

COUNCIL IN A STIR
AID. SCHROEDER NOT PLEASED
WITH AID. THOMAS
CRITICISM OF CITY MARKET.
WILL BE DISCUSSED BY COUNCIL
TONIGHT.

Aid. Schroeder Is Chairman of the
view Credited to Alderman
Thomas He Considers Reflected on
Those Who Are Responsible for
Matters in and Around the City
Market-Hns Refused to Discuss
the Subject Until Council Meets.
Member of the Board Says That
the Discussion Will Take Place
in Open Session, and Promises to
Be Interesting.
Unless matters are patched up to-
day, and there seems to be no likeli-
hood of it, the session of City Council
tonight will be of more than passing
interest, and there may be come rather
lively times.
Recently Alderman D. r. Thomas
was credited with an interview in
which the condition of affairs in and
around the City Market was criticised.
The criticism displeased some of the
members of Council and particularly
Alderman Schroeder who is chairman
of the Market Committee. Since the
derman Thomas. who is not a member
of the Market Committee. the matter
has been pretty generally talked among
the members of the Council and is
certain to come up.
1t is likely, too, that Alderman
Thomas will be called to account. At
any rate that seems to be the schedule
mar Schroeder will permit any pres
sure to be brought to bear on him
to change his mind The chairman of
the Market Committee has persistent
~ refused to answer Alderman Thomas,
insisting that the subject is one that
should first come up in Council. Il will
have something to say at the proper
time" said Alderman Schroeder imme-
diately after the incident Since then
the alderman has been advised to call
the attention of Council TO the inter-
view. A member of the board, who
is not on the Market Committee, said
yesterday that in his opinion Alder
man Schroeder and the members of his
committee are entitled to some expla-
nation Il would certainly take the
matter up if I were chairman of the
Market Committee" said the alder
man. Il do not think that Alderman
Schroeder and his committee were
treated with the proper courtesy and
/ think the incident should be taken
up by Council. If Alderman Thomas
did not think that affairs in the City
Market were being conducted properly
it seems to me he should have men
toned the matter to the Market Com
mlttee, or even to Council, before
rushing into print"
The session of Council promises to
be longer and more interesting in
other respects than the last one Mayor
Myers will announce the names of the
five citizens who will serve on the
Board of Managers of the public libra

dicted to excessive use of alcoholic
stimulants, observed that the spirits
within probably evoked the spirits
without. He contended that even
though BarstOw was at the time Of
his death rather an eccentric indi-
vidual, that the transaction upon which
the recovery is sought antedated his
death by four or five years, at which
time he was in the full control of his
mental faculties. The low price paid
for the land. he argued. was induced
by the temporary depreciation in prop
erty values.
The fact that the property was
bought in at a bargain by the defend
ants, he urged, could not, necessarily,
be imputed as fraud. Many of the
present owners, he said, had never seen
Barstow, and did not know who he was.
The largest of the present holders, he
said, had bought her property from
Mr.. c. II. Dorset, who was a member
of the syndicate which was formed by
Mr.. Beckett, and others, after the land
had been bought at public cutlery I'M
der mortgage and tax fl ia. sales.
Some of the testimony taken in the
case is very interesting and amusing.
Particularly is this true of the testi-
mony of the old negroes on Whining
ton Island, who described the actions of
the old man while labOring under the
delusion that he was being besieged by
ghosts. Many of these witnesses be-
lieved that Barstow really saw the
spirits, and at times they refused to
come near him.
The plaintiffs in the case are John
S. Barstow,Asaph S. BarstOw of North
ampton, Mass. Susan f. Lyman of
Ware, Mass, and Sarah O. Smith of
Brandy, Mass. The defendants repre-
sent the present owners of the realty,
together with those who formed the
syndicate which disposed of the land
originally. They are Isaac Beckett,

ministrator: G. II. DOrsett, w w.

his hand again AT the drama, with all the
accumulated wisdom az we'll as wit OF
his years of practice at entertaining
people. With half a play today the sue
cess of Mr. Kendall would be a foregone
conclusion.
Buyer" is a good deal better than half a
play. Ii is good deal better than
merely vehicle for Ezra Kendals fun.
1t Is a good little play all by itself is
The Vinegar Buyer" and there are other
things In II besides Mr.. Kendalls scintil-
lating lines and other first-class funmak-
ers besides Mr.. Kendall II is a we'll
rounded show with a we'll rounded cast
and something To interest an audience as
we'll as 10 make plausible the burden Of
fun which It, is Mr.. Kendalrs part to
carry.
Mr.. Kendall quickly got next 10 his
audience last evening and had them go-
ing before the first act was half over
From that ne swept them on irresisti-
bly, and unresisting to tumbling waves OF
laughter. There was not even any let
up between the scenes, though for that
the audience was quite az much 20 blame
as Mr.. Kendall. since they persisted In
calling him out at the two curtains.
The first call is plainly anticipated al a
part OF the play, Mr.. Kendall carrying
on the story by imparting n bit OF infor-
indllul lIldl IL IL iOr the audi
ence TO know-maintaining his part intact
and plausibly taking advantage Of the alb
sence OF the other characters from the
stage TO tell his secret. II Is a neat,
novel and effective use OF the curtain call.
For the next call Mr.. Kendall gave brief
bit OF his familiar talks last evening, and
or course. convulsed his audience from
paruuet 10 gallery.
The play tells simple story with Mr.
Kendall in the familiar part OF friend
to everybody and everybody's friend ex-
cept the unvIrtuous. This sort Of n role
is too commonly obtrusive on the audi
ence as we'll rs on tho stage characters.
but Mr.. Kendall handles II with fine re-
straint and lightens IL with his inmltable
humor Moreover. fun though Il is. he
wins the genuine sympathy OF his audi
ence for the character I'm his experiences
and undertakings. He develops q more
and more engaging personality as the
play proceeds until at the final curtain
an audience, weary with laughing and
hand clapping leave the playhouse loaded
up with mirthfulness.
The scenery Is particularly good, the
three sets being elaborate and artistic.
The whole, show IL big enjoyment.
