FOR COMFORT OF
WEATHER BUREAU MEN.

Mr.. H. B. Boyer, chief of the Sa-
vannah Weather Bureau, has just re-
ceived several pictures of the stations
at Key West and other Florida points.
In these stations the office of the bu-
reau and the residence of the wealth
err man is combined in one building.
The buildings are commodious and are
furnished with all modern improve
ments by the Weather Bureau.
1t is the plan of the chief Of the
bureau to gradually extend these COM
bination residences, and offices until
he has covered the entire field. The
work of securing the necessary APP
preparation, is a slow one, but it has
been planned to erect ten of these
homes each year. Those stations which
are isolated, and the least desirable are
being cared for first.
When the improvements have been
completed the department will have
done everything possible for the COM
fort and convenience of its employees.
With the office in one place and the
residence of the official in charge in
another, delays are almost certain.
Late messages also require the wealth
er man to return to the Office at night
and in many cases this is quite a dis
lance. By combining the office and
residence the service will be facilitated
and the comfort and convenience OF
the weather men greatly improved.

MILLER WON THE DECISION OVER
WHITE BY CLOSE MARGIN
One of the Fastest Fights Seen in Savannah in
Months

After fifteen rounds of the fastest
fighting that has been seen in the arena
here in some time, Herman Miller won
the decision over Cub White last night
by very close margin.
1t was the best presentation of box
ing that Miller has ever made in Sa-
vannah. He was aggressive all the
way through, and was exceptionally
clever in blocking Whites long left
handed punches to the stomach, using
his short left hook to Whites face
every time he went low to deliver one
of these reachy wallops.
Though the decision was given to
Miller, Whites work is not to be dis
credited. He was never in trouble, and
finished as strong as Miller. Neither
man landed any telling blows, and the
decision was purely on points of box
ing. White landed harder, but not as
often as his opponent, and was not as
clever at blocking.

several other managers on the
ground to make arrangements to take
charge of teams next season.
The Savannah franchise will be Of
fered to the Savannah Athletic Asso-
ciation and if it does not care to take
it there are several other applicants
who are anxious to secure it.
The presidency of the league will
be offered to a Savannah gentleman,
and there is little doubt but that he
will accept it. He is well known in
business and political circles and is one
of the most enthusiastic fans in the
city. The board of directors will be
composed of one member from each of
the cities interested in the league.
The plans of organization will be the
same as those adopted in all of the
minor leagues, and the first considera-
ton will be economy.
A Constitution and bylaws have
been drawn up and will be submitted
at the meeting for approval, so that
as soon as the terms have been made
satisfactory to all a charter can be
secured without further delay, and the
South Atlantic Baseball League will be
in existence.

has been a stumbling block in the way
of more than one enterprise in Savan-
nah, was manifested in the statement
spread abroad that there was already
dissention among those interested.
Il am delighted with the prospects
of a good league" said Mr.. Sullivan.
while l do not want to be in any way
connected with the executive board or
management of the league itself, 1 am
anxious to get in the game in the ca
pacity of owning a franchise, or even
as part owner. / have had enough ex-
perience in baseball to know that the
promise of a good paying league, such
as is now under way of organization, is
most flattering one. 1 have had many
offers to go to all parts of the country
to interest myself in the formation of
leagues, but / have seen no spot that

this by going to New York to get the
sanction of the National Association,
and then returning here to assist in
the organization. / am sorry that any
one has been so unkind as to suggest
that l am of the opinion that 1 have
been frozen out"
The meeting of those interested in
the movement will be held at the De

LOT OWNERS OBJECT
TO CEMETERY RULES,
Suit for Relief Against Evergreen
Cemetery Association.

Cemetery Association.
A petition has been filed in the Su-
perior Court by a number of lot own
that the rules of the Evergreen Gene
terry Company, be set aside, and that
they be allowed to make what arrange
ments they see fit towards keeping
their lots in repair.
The suit grows out of the injunc-
ton by the cemetery company against
Joe Williams, a colored man, who has
for years been looking after the lots
of a number of lot owners. A temper
airy restraining order was granted pre-
venting the negro from entering the
cemetery, and it is alleged in the Pc
tition that the lots have suffered ac-
cordingly, and the petitioners desire the
interference of the courts, asking that
the rules of the cemetery company,
alleged to interfer with their private
rights, be set aside.
Among those who are interested in
the matter are George A. Mercer, Jr.,
James Sullivan, trustee for the estate
of Edward Houston and executor of the
will of Jane Sullivan, T. N. Theus, j.
G. Slater, E. T. Conner, and H. NJ.
Conner, as executors. and Lila Conner

The suit was filed by George A. Mer-
Ger, Jr., and Adams & Adams.

In the first five rounds White car
ried the fight to Miller. Miller did not
employ his usual tactics of waiting,
but went to work at once. He did not
give back an inch when White rushed
him, and was fairly good in his close
in work, though, according to the
agreement of terms under which the
men were to fight, he left himself open
often to telling body blows, by raising
his arms before the word "break" was
pronounced by the referee.
Miller is a continuous kicker. and
cannot even be reprimanded by the ref
cree, without making a sarcastic reply.
If he is to continue in the ring he will
find that he will get littlezby such tao
tics. A fighter who is continually COM
planning that he is getting the worst of
it will soon lose the confidence of the
public in the sincerity of any complaint
he might make.
The attendance last night was very
small, and, though there was some dis
appointment expressed on the part OF
Whites admirers. the decision seemed
to give general satisfaction.

There are two things that the whole
medical profession agree about con-
corning catarrh. The first is that ca
tarrh is the most prevalent and omni-
present disease to which the people in
the United States are subject. All
classes of people have it, Those who
stay indoors much and those who go
outdoors much. Working classes have
it and sedentary classes have it.
The doctor finds catarrh to be his
constant and ever-present foe. 1t COM
plicateS nearly every disease he is
called upon to treat.
The second thing about catarrh on
which all doctors agree, is that it is
difficult to cure. Local remedies may
give relief but they fail to cure per-
manently. Sprays or snuffs amount
to little or nothing except to give
temporary relief.
Catarrh is frequently located in in
ternal organs which cannot. be reach
ed by any sort of local treatment.
All this is known by every physician.
To devise some systemic internal
remedy which would reach catarrh at
it's source, to eradicate it permanent
ly from the system-this has been the
desire of the medical profession for a
long time. Forty years ago DR.. Hart
man confronted this problem. He be-
lieved then that he had solved it. He
still believes he has solved it. He
cures thousands of people annually
During all these years Peruna has
been the remedy upon which he has
relied.
1t was at first a private prescription,
afterwards manufactured expressly
for him in large quantities. This rem
edy, Peruna. is now to be found in
every drug store and nearly every
home in the land. 1t is the only re-

FIELD GOALS SHOULD NOT COUNT
FIVE POINTS SAY FOOTBALL PLAYERS
One Players Efforts Should Not Equal Entire
Teams Touchdown.

A football rule which allows a goal
from field to count five points has been
criticised frequently of late. The OPP
ponents of this rule claim that five
points are too many for n goal from
field as long as a touchdown brings
but the same number. The kick aside
from a good defense by the team
making it. depends to a great extent
on the ability of an individual player,
yet it counts as much as a touchdown,
which has been the result of the hard
est kind of rushing in--which every
member of the eleven at one time or
other has figured.
The field goal was made worth five

points TO the team making 1t
in order to encourage kicking, which
a few years ago had almost disappear
ed in favor of the heavy line plunging
style of play. Under the rules of
this year there has been more kicking
than ever before, and it is a question
with many if the time has not now
arrived to reduce the value of the goal
from the field.
The only tallies made by opponents
of Yale this year except the touchdown
of Dewitt have been from field goals.
Holy Cross got two and West Point
one. Dewitt also got goal from
placement on the Yale team in the
game Saturday, which won not only
the game, but the football champion
ship besides.
