HARTRIDGE'S HOPE
CENTERED IN UNCLE SAM.

1t appears. from Washington dis
patches, that unless Senator Bacon is
able to secure warship for Walter c.
Hartridge, Esq, who is trying to get
from Hong Kong to the Island of zap,
the Savannah lawyer will not be pres
ent when a will alleged to have been
made by King O'Keefe is opened and
read.
Mr.. Hartridge stated before his de-
parture from Savannah, on Feb. Z, that
IL would be necessary for him to reach
zap by May. for the reason that at
that time, under the German law, King
O'Keefe will be legally dead. This in
formation was given in the Morning
News at the time, and when il be-
came known that the lawyer was high
and dry at Hong Kong it was shown
that unless war vessel could be Sc
cured much might be lost
Mr.. Hartridge's firm has appealed to
Senator Bacon, who Is busy trying to
get warship to convey Mr.. Hartridge
from Hong Kong to zap before the
contents Of the alleged viii are made
known.
Just what win happen after Mr..
Hartridge has been dropped at the
home OF the late King OF Yap is a
matter Of uncertainty, his chief aim
being TO get there before the opening
of the will.

BAY STREET MANS HAT
BEAT TOMMY FOSTER.

Without having the least intention of
offending, a crowd on a street car will
laugh heartily over a fellow passen-
gers small troubles. 1t just can't be
helped. The harder the luck of the
luckless one. the more merry become
the onlookers. and sometimes it hap
pens all for the best that the man in
trouble is obliged to move on and thus
escape the hilarity his troubles caused.
1t was a dignified business man who
stepped from a down town car, on Bay
street, yesterday afternoon and start
ed for the sidewalk. He was wearing
a soft hat. AS he stepped off the car
he raised his umbrella-and then his
troubles began.
''Zee-Whough" sang leftover
from the gale. swinging the corner
and turning Mr.. Mans umbrella
wrongside out as neatly as a cook fiips
over buckwheat. Then, not content
with it's work, the zephyr seized his
hat. There was a wild struggle. the
impulses being divided by the double
catastrophe. But you cannot do two
things at once, and both were lost.
The umbrella was a wreck in an in
slant, and the hat? Well that started
down Bay street to beat Tommy Fos-
ter's record. 1t was a five furlong dash
with the owner up. What he NAV
nave said on the stretch is not to be
mentioned.

ANOTHER WESLEY
SPEAKER SECURED.

Bishop GOOdseH of the Northern
Church TO Speak ut Bi-Centenary.
The special Committee on Tablets of
the Wesley Bi-centenary Celebration
Committee did not meet yesterday aft
ernoon. as had been expected, but will
come together within a few days and
complete the plans for the memorials.
The special committee has already APP
piled to various concerns for estimates
on the bronze work, and there will be
no delay after the decision is reached
as to the inscriptions. size, etc.
Rev. ]. A. Smith, chairman of the
general committee, said last night that
a new speaker has been added to the
list already announced, in the person
of Bishop Goodsel of the Northern
Methodist Church. Bishop CfoodseIl is
a famous orator and will speak partic-
ularly of the relations that existed be-
tween Whitfield and Wesley. 1t is the
desire of the committee that one of the
services of the celebration be held at
Bethesda Orphanage. and the president
and trustees of the board will be re-
quested to allow this to be done. If this
is granted, and there is every reason
to believe that it will be, DIR. Goodsell
will be the orator on that occasion.

HASHIM OPERA co.
DISBANDED.
Went to Pieces in Jacksonville
Yesterday.


The Hashim Opera Company is dis
banded. and will not give the week of
opera in Savannah, for which it was
booked. and which was to have opened
with a performance of the 'Mikado"
tonight. The company has been out
from New York for eight weeks, four
of which were spent in Cuba, where it
did a good business, and the remaining
month in Florida cities, where the re-
ceipts were so poor that the remainder
of the tour was abandoned.
The decision to disband was made in
Jacksonville yesterday afternoon, and
as soon as it was reached Mr.. Hashim
wired Manager W. b. Seeskind of the
Savannah Theater, and last night came
up and saw him in person. The sale
of seats for the performances in Sa-
vannah had been good enough to as
sure the company of a prosperous en-
gagement here. but as one of the prin-
cipals of the company had decided to
abandon the tour, both Mr.. Hashim
and Mr.. Seeskind felt they owed it to
the public not to give the repertoire
with an inferior caste. and, acting on
this principle, all dates were cancelled.
The company consisted of forty-two
people, who will sail for New York
from Jacksonville to-day or tomorrow.
Mr.. Hashim also will go to New York.
He expects next season to organize an
other company, and again take the
road. The ticket office of the Savan-
nah Theater will be open from 10
O'Clock till u to-day to refund the
money for tickets that were bought last
week

THE DRUMMER AND
THE CONTRIBUTION BOX.

Speaking of grafters and promo
the corridor of the Pulaski yesterday,
as he took up a decorated can with
an inscription on the side and a slot
big enough to receive a round dollar,
there's no discount on the men or
women who start out to raise money
for some charitable object. What
they don't think of in the way of a
stool isn't worth car fare and the old
lend me a pencil trick of the race
track tout drifts back to the stables"
Something particular in mind"
ventured the clerk, who was ready to
hear anything except kicks on the
rain.
Nothing much, only 1 happened to
be in Jacksonville last week and dur
ing a dry morning dropped in at a
swell bar about noon for a bite of
lunch. While waiting for my stein
to be filled a second time several
young men came in, who evidently
knew the barkeeper and looked about
for some way in which to worry him.
One of these contribution boxes stood
on the counter, it was round and
made of glass, and the boys picked it
up and began to investigate. It was
fat with coin, and the leader man
aged to trip the lock. at the bottom
and took the money out-not to swipe
it, of course, but for the fun of put
ting it back. This worked all right
until the half dollars We're reached
they refused to enter at the slot.
There were five of the shining halves,
and not one had been contributed, I'M
less by the committeeman who held
the key, for the slot was not big
enough to receive them, and I GER
tainly believe that they were put in,
just as Tweedlepunch drops a coin
into his own contribution box to call
for other marks. Pretty neat 1 think"
And the crowd admitted that it was.

WHAT MAY BE EXPECTED
OF APRIL.
Weather bureau Figures of Springs
First Month for 81 Years.

ElEHt mOHNn lot - AGaEss
The following facts and figures. COM
piled by the Weather Bureau at Savan-
nah. from the records of thirty-two
years, give an idea of what may be ex-
pected in the month which opens We'd
nesday:
The mean for April, since 1871 was
Sc degrees. The warmest April during
that period was in 1898, when the aver
age was 20 degrees. In 1901 the average
was 81 degrees, the lowest shown in the
records. The highest point reached in
the mercury tube during April was 80
degrees. on April q and %, 1896. and
the coolest weather shown in the books
was SO degrees, on April 2, 1881. The
average date of first killing frost in
this section is Nov. l, and for the last
killing frost is March 1.
April is not wet month in this
section according to the records, and
figures often give trouble to old saws
and sayings. The average precipita-
ton, which means rainfall. for the
month of April is only 1928 inches.
April, 1892, came very near being a dry
month, for the rainfall only measured
O.16 inch, and to offset that dusty pc
riod, in the general averages at least,
April 1877 came UP with $50 inches.
The average number of days in April
with .01 inch or more is eight. The
heaviest rainfall recorded during the
month was in 1879 when 6.12 inches
were measured in twenty-four hours,
April 16 and II.
April brings an average of thirteen
clear ~ oil 4
cloudy days Z. The prevailing winds
have been from the south. The highest
velocity of the wind was 40 miles from
the northwest, on April &c, 1898.

each of the officers of the result of his
examination.

several papers, began their perusal
with the other members of the COM

ton of the remaining papers will be
concluded either to-day or tomorrow.
