A thirst for knowledge needs to be
planted and cultivated as much as
hill of corn. Parents and teachers are
the planters and we ourselves the pre-
longed cultivator Not like kernel
of corn are we confined to the locality
where we were dropped, but we can
move and relocate if We choose. Read
ing is the Amazon of knowledge and
listening to the talk of others is the
Niagara of thought. And yet there
are other bypaths and alleys. The
pauper and tramp, who cannot real,
often come loaded with facts that can
not be found in books.

There is a charm in simperin !;
belle, but is is a si-Npery charm. There
is a glitter in the polished dude, but
it is but skin deep, neither is it last
ing. Like a soap bubble, collapse
follows the first test breath. Genuine
knowledge does not bed-fellow with
frivolity or laziness.

rifed Brick.
With fair weather the director of
public works will be able to finish the
work of paving Habersham street
probably within the next ten days.
Brick has been already laid as far
south as Waldburg lane and the work
is being rapidly pushed to completion.
When finished the street will proba-
bly, be the prettiest paved thorough
fare in the city. The work of shovel

When Habersham street has been
completed the street paving force will
be put to work on East Broad and
will pave from Jones street to Gwin-

soon as the material arrives Henry
street will be started, but it is hardly
likely that the brick will be on hand

been completed.
An ordinance will be introduced at
tomorrow nights meeting of Coun-
Gil for the paving of Park avenue from
West Broad street to Whitaker. and
from Drayton street to East Broad.

H. Long defeated Sergt. w. w.

The new first lieutenant, Long, will
be remembered by local marksmen as
the very tall member of the Liberty

made such good scores. He has been
orderly sergeant of the troop for six
teen years. Chapman is a Savannah

HANDLING MONEY
BY TRUCK LOAD.
Fortune shipped by National Bank
TrundIed Around That Way.

Trundled Around That Way.
1t is not often that Savannahians see
money, real silver dollars and lots of
them at that, hauled like so many
sticks of wood, yet that sight was wit
messed in front of the National Bank
of Savannah yesterday afternoon
when a shipment of $4,000 in silver
was started to the United States Sub
treasury. New York city.
The money was in bags, tied, label
ed and sealed. 1t was to be shipped
via the Southern Express Co. and so a
wagon belonging to that concern was
backed to the edge of the sidewalk. an
ordinary cotton truck secured, and on
this the bags were loaded and carried
from the interior of the bank to the
wagon.
They were handled by only two men,
a colored man. who handled the truck,
and the express driver. who checked
them off as they were chucked into
the vehicle. Apparently no precau-
tions whatever were taken against
some impecunious Weary Willies
reaching for a sack or two-a good
maui. as some of the bags contained
$1,000 and none held less than $500
but nothing of the sort happened, and
after it had all been put in the wagon
it was taken to the express Office
without mishap.

DIED WITH PAWN TICKET.
That and Ballet Girls Picture Only
Property of Fisherman.


Without funds. and a sufferer from
tuberculosis. an Italian fisherman
known as Loui was taken to st. Jo-
seph's Hospital in a dying condition in
the police ambulance last night. He
died a few minutes after his arrival
at the hospital, and the cause of his
death had not been satisfactorily de-
termined last night
A pawn ticket made out in the name
of E. Rich showed that s1.25 had been
secured on a black silk skirt, and the
picture of a woman, apparently a ball
let dancer. evinced the fact. that de-
spite his physical condition, there was
still romance in his composition.
Whether the black silk skirt. that he
pawned for the last money he had in
his possession, and the ballet dancer
had any connection will probably never
be known Whether death was due to
tuberculosis is also question at this
time.
1t was stated at the hospital that
the man did not die like a consumptive.
He was taken by the police from a
house occupied by Mary Robinson, col
ored, in the rear of No. 1874 Bryan
street, west, and fought against being
placed in the ambulance and sent to
the hospital. This, together with the
fact that his death was seemingly not
that of a Consumptive, made those
who investigated the matter just a lit
tie suspicious. 1t was stated at the
house from where the man was taken
that he had been there a week, and
that he had been sick with consump-
ton. Scarcely anything else was
known about him. 1t was said in the
saloons on Bryan street in the viciraty
of the city market that the man has
been living in Savannah for several
years. 1t had not been decided last
night what disposition would be made
of the remains.

10000 Per RnttIe.

This seems a pretty big price to pay
for a single bottle of medicine, and yet
if you consider the matter rightly, it
is very cheap price for a bottle of
Johnson's Tonic.
Here is what fixes it's 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 50
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

CEMETERY AND HOSPITAL
WANT RELIEF.
Trustees of Hebrew Cemetery Ask
to be Let on on Taxes.

to be Let OF on Taxes.
City Council tomorrow night will be
asked to relieve a hospital and ceme-
terry from taxation. Petitions in both
cases have already been filed with the
Clerk of Council.
The petition of the Telfair Hospital
recites that it has never asked the
city for any help, but that stress of
circumstances compels it to do so at
this time. 1t shows that women and
children are taken into the hospital
without charge, in deserving cases, and
that the income is limited. 1t is fur
Their shown that because of the steady
increase in the number of patients it
has been found necessary to add a
wing to the building. The city is asked
to donate sum equivalent to the taxes
that will be due the city for 1903 and
1904
The trustees of the Hebrew Cemetery
in their petition ask that they be re-
lieved of taxation on the property on
the West Side and call attention to
the fact that the city has never con-
tributed to this cemetery.

BEGGARS 0BEYED ORDERS.
Medicants Did Not Worry the Uni
formed Men.

Remembering the stringent orders
issued from police headquarters last
week the beggars made themselves
scarce yesterday if they were in the
city. Only the recognized landmarks
were noticeable on the streets and the
strange mendicants who only dropped
in for stake were not to be found.
If they did not all get out of the
city 1t was probably because they pre-
ferred, to remain here a few days and
enjoy the balmy weather. 1t is known
that they made a good haul on Satur-
day and they probably all secured
money enough to go as far south as
Tampa If they so desired. The police
cared little what became of the mendi-
cants Just so long as they did not show
up on the streets and ask for aims.
The beggars knew what to expect If
they showed up in their usual haunts
in the shopping district, and they did
not tempt the uniformed men.

w. j. Founder of Route No. 1 and j.
T. Davis of Route No. 2, left the post
office on schedule time, 1880 o'clock,

was, for the first day, surprisingly
large, and that he considers this aus
picious of the success of the system.
Though it has not been announced
before, the government has decided not
to abolish the postoffices at Thunder
bolt College and Montgomery. This
means that residents of the suburbs
may take their choice of an established
postoffice or of the free delivery route.
The latter has proved so popular in
other parts of the country that its sue

Yesterday also, according to folk
lore, the ground hog crept from his
burrow to make a forecast of the
weather that will prevail during the
remainder of the winter and early
Spring. This he does, according to
the popular tale, by looking for his
shadow: if the sun is brighe enough
to cause the hogs shadow to appera on
the ground, that animal returns
to his burrows for another
long sleep, but if, on the con-
trary. the day is too gloomy to cause
a shadow he remains out to eniov the
fine and balmy weather that is sure
to follow. To those who have faith in
this story the remainder of the year
will have no terrors, for yesterday was
gloomy enough to promise a delightful
climate for the remainder of the sea-
son.
