WENT TO BELL BUOY
ON STEAMER CLIFTON.

A pleasant excursion down the river
and out to the bell buoy was enjoyed
by the ladies of the Christian Church.
their friends, and many of the excur-
sionists from up the state, last night
on the steamer Clifton. The occasion
had been anticipated for. some time
by the young folks, particularly, and
when the time came for leaving the
wharf at the foot of Whitaker street,
there was a merry crowd on board.
Refreshments were served during the
trip and added to the pleasure of the
evening. The start was made at
about $50 o'clock and the return was
about midnight. All on board enjoyed
the voyage very much, and expressed
themselves as delighted with having
had the opportunity for becoming pas
sengers along with the committee. The
proceeds of the trip will go towards
swelling the Christian Church building

was created and the squares were laid
out and made lawns and the plats in
the middle of Oglethorpe avenue and
Liberty street and along the sidewalks
were planted in grass, signs were put
in the squares and on the grass plats
notifying people ito keep of the grass"
under penalty of $25 fine. At first there
was some disposition to disregard the
law, but with a few arrests the cut
ting across" was stopped and the
beauty of the squares and grass plats
was preserved.
Within the last year or two
there has been practically no en-
forcement of the ordinance and some
of the squares have been cut up in
every direction with paths and in 9TH
ers which have become Fairgrounds
the grass is practically all gone and
what once We're greens, are now
sand lots.
A few arrests are all that will be
needed to stop people trampling the
squares and with a little effort on the
part of the Park Commission they will
again become the beauty spots they
were when they We're first improved by
the commission. Supt. Garfunkel said
that the police will do their share to-
ward keeping the squares what they
should be.

MINSTRELS ALL RIGHT.

Endorsement.

suDt. PassaIaiEue Gives Them His
Endorsement.
That the Savannah Electric Com
pany has secured worthy successors TO
the troupe that is performing at the
Casino this week is becoming more
and more evident every day, as the
testimony of those who have seen the
great Pan-American minstrels shows
The most recent testimony is that
which came yesterday from Supt. I.
W. Passalaigue of the Charleston
Street Railway Company. who wrote
General Manager c. B. Kidder that the
minStrels had been perfect success
at the Isle of Palms
Isle of Palms is so far from Charles
ton that the people usually have not
considered it worth while to patronize
the vaudeville attractions at the re-
sort in numbers that the railway
found remunerative. 1t was
well pleased to find that the Ministries
were such a hit as to draw crowds of
a paying size. None objected, either, to
the higher prices, which had to be de-
manded because of the superior quail
ity of the entertainment rendered by
the MINISTRIES.
II am sure the people of your city,"
Mr.. Passalaigue writes, will be de-
lighted with the singing, dancing and
speciality work, as it is all excellent"

MINSTREL ATTRACTION
AT CASINO NEXT WEEK.

Savannah will have the pleasure of
witnessing performances by one of the
best minstrel shows on the road next
week. The Pan-American aggregation
which will begin an engagement at the
Casino has been playing for some time
past at Monte Sano pavilion, near Au-
gusta, and has been warmly Endorsed
nv the citizens of Augusta. They have
lust finished an engagement at Isle OF
Palms. The following from the Au-
eusta, Herald bears attest of the merit
of the performance:
Everyone who attended the per-
Torrance of the Pan-Amertcan Min
strels at the Pavilion Theater last
night went away saying nice Things
of the show, a deserved compliment
The show is a good one; one that
deserved a larger audience than that
which greeted it last evening. Many
EXPRESSED themselves that they had
NOT seen as good a burnt cork article
during the winter season.
The singing is good; the jokes spar
king and the specialties clever. The
actors are we'll chosen, no weak ones
in the troupe.
Perhaps it may be said that Mr.
John Healy, In his monolosue act' en-
titled "Cut 1t Out" made the greatest
bjt Of any of the artists. Healy is
q comedian from away back, one who
bv his facial expression and contor-
ton Of words keeps the audience in
roar of laughter. "Cut 1T Out is a
clever skit, to say the least.
Leighton and Leighton do an enter
tanning song and dance act, while the
Musical Martins are artists on the
zilophone, -, - 49,, =
singing speciality that is as good as
vou'u need this summer. La Toy

r,arkable agility as acrobats.
Mr.. Frank Leonard, in his song,

TO STOP "CUTTING
ACROSS" THE SQUARES
Police Instructed to Arrest People Who TrampIe
the Grass

The police are going to make an eff
for to stop cutting across squares"
The Park and Tree Commission COM
planned to the Mayor that there is lit
tie or no use trying to keep the grass
plats in the squares in order as long
as they are made thoroughfares by
people who haven't time to follow the
sidewalks and who keep the grass plats
cut into cross paths.
Mayor Myers issued instructions to
Supt. Garfunkel yesterday to see that
the ordinance against cutting across
the squares is enforced. The superin-
tendent notified the police as they went
out last night to arrest all people who
trample down the grass and who in
sist that the sidewalks are not good
enough for them to travel on. The
penalty for violation of the ordinance
is a fine of $25.
The law against tramping across the
squares applies to grown people. Chill
dren under - years of age are exempt
from it's provisions.

Fruit Belt Of the Southwest.
W. R. Draper, in Tribune Farmer.


Usually, when the fall season arrives
there is scene of activity around the
railroad stations from Springfield, Mo-,
10 Fayetteville, Ark, for the Ozark fruit
belt has wona name for itself. 1t has taken
prizes for its apples, its peaches, its
pears. These prizes it expects to cap
ture next year at the worlds fair. For
that reason much of the good fruit raised
in the Ozark fruit belt is kept at home
and carefully preserved.
Rogers last year shipped three hund-
red cars of fruit, which sold for nearly
a million dollars. This year about 20
cars are going forth. West Plains,
Springfield, Bentonville and other towns
we're shipping out peaches and pears by
the train load last year but this season
there is much less. Three thousand
men were employed at the famous st.
Elmo orchards in Missouri last year
this year about one-tenth that number
are doing the work. The cause of this
failure was killing frost in late April.
Notwithstanding the failure Of the
fruit crop in the Ozark fruit belt, this
section is the greatest fruit growing
country in the world today. 1t stands
without an equal. Some of the
largest fruit ranches in the world are
found along the Friscoand Iron Mountain
systems. The largest apple orchard in
the world, covering 5000 acres, with
250, 900 trees is found in Laelede county.
The orchard is worth over a million
dollars. Another orchard near this one
contains :, 800 acres.
There are 25,0OO, 900 apple trees in the
Ozark fruit belt.ln Benton county, Ark,
the greatest fruit county in the world,
there are !, $40, 600 trees of apples, hile
in the county south, Washington, there
are l,550,0O0 apple trees. The famous
McNair peach orchard at st. Elmo con-
tains $50 acres, upon which 900 bear
ing peach trees have been grown. In
addition 10 the peach trees there are
