BURGLAR NEVER MOVED.

Mr.. Somebody had put in hard and
effective work at the cavalry, camp,
and while any person who has never
tried 1t, is ready to say that sleeping
in a tent on hard boards is capital
fun, somehow he hadn't been very
comfortable. Sometimes 1t would be
his tent mates. and occasionally 1t was
something else that kept him awake,
so when he did get home and in a
good bed again he prepared to hit off
a pace that would worry the engine
builders. The night was young when
he got in, and the family being away,
he had everything to himself and SIM
ply spread around and made himself
the most contented grass widower on
deck.
Then he began to sleep without re-
serve.
But a lost moonbeam, slanting in
through the blinds got directly on his
face and such dreams as came his way
made him groan and turn heavily. He
thought he saw q man in the corner
of the room, watching him, and then,
and all at once, he realized that he
must be awake!
Without making a sound he pinched
his hand, then his arm and side, to be
sure.
Yes, he was awake all right enough,
and not ten feet away stood the man!
1t was light enough to see, and he
seemed to be wearing a cap, and as
he remained motionless Mr.. S. could
feel chills beginning to creep down his
back. His pistol was on the dresser:
nearer to the murderous burglar than
to him, and any minute he might seize
it-and it would be adieu to holidays
and work and all the rest. All these
things came into Mr. s IS brain as he
lay silent. even closing his eyes and
grinding his teeth in the effort to keep
from shivering. Everything he had
ever done from making a small fortune
to stealing watermelons when kid
came up. and still the man stood still
in the corner.
For half an hour there was nothing
done. and at last, when almost ready
to go into a collapse, with a supreme
effort. Mr.. S. made a dash for the
dresser, carrying sheets and spread
with him. The pistol seized, he cried,
"Stand or I'll fret" in tones that were
audible in the street.
The man stood all right. And as
standing up makes a man brave, he
approached cautiously and seized-his
uniform coat that had been hung on
the clothes. tree, surmounted by his
fatigue cap.

Another Jake Wells Attraction
Booked for This Week.
There Will be another Jake Wells
show at the Casino this week and
the patrons Of this popular resort are
certain to be pleased with the attrac-

the Casino management has determin-

Refined vaudeville is offered dur
ing the present week. The first per-
Torrance will be given tomorrow
night. The usual matinees will be
given Tuesday, Thursday and Satur-
day. A Charleston papers comment
on the organization is as follows:
'eThe patrons of the Ford and Dot
West Vaudeville Company, now hold
ing the boards at the Isle of Palms,
surely get their moneys worth. The
present aggregation is meeting with
general approval and every number
on the programme gets hand" and
fully deserves it, for as a laugh-pro-
Queer and an antidote for the blues the
specialties being presented this week
rank above any that have preceded,
and deserve the most liberal patron
age.
''The dancing of the dEstelle Sis

THEATER SEASON OPENS
IN THREE WEEKS
Hermann Will Be the Attraction on Opening
Night, Aug, FL.

The theater season of 10000 in Sa-
vannah will open in three weeks. Fri
day, Aug. IL. Hermann & Co. will set
the theatrical ball rolling indoors. At
present the resorts are drawing the
crowds, but by the time the theater is
ready to open the summer stage will be
on the. wane.
Manager Seeskind will arrive some
time next week. In the meantime the
annual overhaulinG of the theater will
begin, and everything will be in readi-
ness for the opening night. So far az
known there are to be no changes III the
theater staff the coming season.
Hermann, will be the opening
attraction, is wing the beaten paths
of ordinary magic this season and is
bringing with him from Europe some
of the biggest sensations seen on this
side of the water. Judging from the
accounts given in letters to his man.
ager, he has some illusions that seem
almost incredible. At any rate, he
is confident that his new programme
will be one Of the sensations Of the
season, and is correspondently jubi-
liant. He sailed from France July 20.
Manager Seeskind writes that Sa-
vannah will have the finest list of at
fractions the coming season that 1t
has ever had. Most of the regular Wis
itors will be here and more of the new
plays will be seen than were seen last
season. While the number of attrac-
tions during this month and Septem-
Der is not large, some star plays are
in the list.

BAXTER & CO.'S WIRES
NOT CUT OFF HERE.

No action was taken here against A.
r. Baxter & Co., cotton and stock
brokers, by the Western Union Tele-
graph Company, in accordance with
the action of the New York Cotton
Exchange in disseminating the quota
tons to all firms not approved by it.
The service was to have been discon-
tinued yesterday. No action has, there
fore, been taken in the courts. An in
junction against the telegraph COM
pany was secured in Atlanta.
The Savannah Cotton Exchange, has
entered into an agreement with the
New York Cotton Exchange, to furnish
no quotations TO outside parties. This
agreement embodies nothing new in

DIRECTORS WILL RECEIVE
REPORT AT NEXT MEETING.

The directors of the Central Railroad
Of Georgia will meet about Aug. is,
and at that time will receive the an
nuaI reports, showing earnings and ex-
penses and indicating the progress that
has been made by the road during the
year ending June 80.
The figures, which were unofTi-
clally reported in the Morn
ing News on July 10, show an in
crease in gross receipts not far from
a million and a half, the exact figures
being N,413,779. Owing to the great
number of Improvements and addi-
tons to equipment the expenses show
up about a million and a. quarter dol
lars larger than for the previous year,
and thus the net earnings are only
$l2l,739 over those of 1902.
This condition of affairs is by
no means a surprise as the
heavy expenditures during the
year. will mean great saw
ing in the future. and the gains in
gross receipts will most certainly be
permanent or further increase. The
matter of dividends sswill, of course,
come uD at the directors meeting, and
no one in authority was prepared yes
terday to suggest what they would be.
The physical condition of the Gen.
trail has never been better. said Pres
ident Egan yesterday, and the very
satisfactory increase in earnings. as
evidenced by the receipts, is a matter
for congratulation by all interested.

TRAGIC&sTORY OF SAND FLY.
Insects live but a Day After Coming
Into the Light.

Insects Live but a Day After Coming
Into the Light.
From the Chicago Inter Ocean.
Here is the tragic story of the sand
fly.
1t has but day to live in the light.
In order to earn the right to that
day OF life 1t lives from one to three
years in darkness, down in the mud
at the bottom of lakes or rivers. More
over. the sand fly is perfectly harm
less. 1t does not bite. 1t has no sting.
to fit about for few hours, enjoy
ing the light of day or the glare Of
an electric lamp.
Prof. G. B. Davenport, of the Uni
versity of Chicago, told yesterday,
about the delivate, beautiful little in
sects which are now proving pest to
a great many people.
The sand fly is known to scientists
familiarity as the May fly. In scientific
terms, it is called Ephemerida. This
name is taken from the Greek word
Ephemeros, which means lasting only
for a day. To the scientists the sand
ny is one of the most interesting and
beautiful of insects.
The fly lives but a day at most, but
before 1T sees the light 1t has lived for
from one to three years under the
water in the form of what the scientists
call a nymph. This nymph can both
walk and swim. AS it grows 1t molts,
and after about the ninth mott tiny
wings appear on it's thorax. These
grow larger until the insect comes forth
from the water sand fly. 1t then has
but one duty, to lay it's eggs. This
done the sand fly zigzags through the
air until it's brief life is ended
The popular idea that the sand flies
are blown across the lake to Chicago
is wrong, according to the University
scientists. The sand fly, could not live
to be blown that far, and, besides,
the insect always flies against the wind
and not with It.

COST A PRETTY SUM.
Ceremonies at Du-oar Required Ex-
penditure of $40, 1000, 900.
Lord Curzon Praised for So Success
fully Carrying Out Spectacle
which Was Unique In the
! Annals of World.

Now that the magnificence of the
durbar has gone, people are counting
the cost. Including the bill the In
dian government will have to pay, the
expenditures incurred by the Indian
princes and chiefs and the English
governors and lieutenant governors,
it is safe to say that at least 100000
600 has been spent in furnishing
spectacle unique in the annals Of the
world.
The Indian governments bill is like
" to exceed $3,750,000. The cost to
Lord Curzon personally has been very
great, for large number of guests
were entertained by him entirely at
his own expense.
The expenses of the native princes
and chiefs vary greatly, from the $780,
600 said to have been spent by the
Nizam of Hyderabad to the $4,000, 900,
for which sum the minor chiefs were
able to make but an Indifferent dis
play. When it is remembered that the
number of these princes and chiefs
reaches nearly 100, the total expendi-
ture can easily be calculated.
The governors of Madras and Bonn
bay and lieutenant governors of the
several provinces found it possible by
the exercise of careful European SUI
pervision to keep down the complete
cost of their camps to about $4,000.
Of the various events the procession
durbar was undoubtedly the most inn
pressive, and the review of the retinues
of the native chiefs was the most pic
turesque, while the natives appreciated
the fireworks most of all.
The ball in the Dewaniam was the
most gorgeous scene, as the investiture
was the most stately, but the weari-
some state entry into Delhi was very
remarkable as an example of organiza-
ton,
It is wonderful that no accidents oc-
surred during the long procession of
elephants, carriages, horse and foot
through the streets.
Lord Curz2n is to be warmly con-
graduated on the result of his hard
work.
