BACK IN HIS OLD HOME.
Col. II. s. Haines Meeting His
Friends in savannah.

Col. II. $. Haines Meeting His
Friends in Savannah.
After an absence of several years
Col. H. S. Haines, formerly general
manager of the Plant System, with
headquarters in Savannah, is in the
city meeting his friends.
Col. Haines retired from active
business when he left the railroad and
spends the greater part of his time
in Europe, where he finds much pleas
ure in circles of art and literature
Although his life is being spent in
travel, and he is in love with Italy
and England, and the environments of
those countries, Col. Haines says that
he always has longing for trip to
Savannah.
While, in a fashion, he is a wanderer,
he still claims Savannah as his home
and says that the city will always
hold first place in his heart Col.
Haines did a great deal to make the
Plant System a strong railroad organ
he was actively engaged in business
but the changes and improvements that
have been made since he was here last
have impressed him a great deal.
Col. Haines met many old friends.
He is a guest of the De Soto and will
leave during the latter part of the
week for Florida. Later he will take
another trip to Europe, where he can
enjoy himself without having to play
polo, or visit CanfieldS"

CALENDAR IN U. S. COURTS
WILL NOT BE CHANGED
Judge Speer Ordered Adjournment
of Courts Until Monday.

An order was passed in Macon yes
terday by Judge Speer adjourning the
United States courts in Savannah I'M
til Monday. The order heretofore is
sued set the opening day of the term
tomorrow. A telegram received from
Judge Speer by the Morning News an

was assigned for the postponement
Inquiry in Macon failed to disclose any
thing further than that the order had
been passed.
A dispatch from Macon last night an
nounced that the order has no reference
to the calendar of the court, from which
it is judged that the cases will be taken
up in their regular order without re-
gard to date. The matter is important,
In that many of the members of the
bar in South Georgia will be anxious to
know when to attend the court for the
trial of their respective cases. In some
of the cases the witnesses come from
a distance, the witnesses in one case,
set for Saturday, coming from Massa-
chusettS.
telegram was received yesterday
morning by Deputy Clerk S. f. B. Gill
lespie, asking that the calendar of cases
for Thursday, Friday and Saturday be
forwarded to Macon. The dockets have
all been prepared by Mr.. Gillespie, and
everything is in readiness for the OPEN
ing of the court on Monday. Clerk
King, who is now in Florida, will ar

SA670 NET EARNINGS
OF HUSSARS' BAZAAR.
Automobile Sold by winners to MIR.
ROsenheim for $3.50.

ROsenheim for S455.
The gross receipts of the Georgia
Hussars' Bazaar, according to the re-
ports of the various committees, made
last night at the club rooms, were So
300. The net earnings are $3.50. The
meeting is the last which will be held,
all matters being finally wound up, and
the treasurer instructed to pay all bills
which had been passed by the Auditing
Committee. These viii amount TO
about $500.
The automobile, which was awarded
to Messrs. Nj. r. Thomas, l. NJ. Frank
and E. T. Sheftall. has been disposed
of by them to Mr.. ROsenheim, he being
the highest bidder. The price paid,
S455, was equally divided among the
gentlemen to whom the auto was
awarded.
Capt Gordon has written personal
letters to all who aided in the bazaar,
expressing his thanks for their aid, CO.
operation and donations. The money
realized from the bazaar will be used,
mostly.in repairing the armOry and club
rooms, and in purchase of new equip
ment for the troop the remaining fund
being devoted to the sinking fund for
the payment of the annual installments
on the mortgage debt. 1t is probable
that in addition to the repairs on the
aTmory and club rooms, an additional
room will be added TO the club, to be
situate in the small court facing Lib
erty street.

HAPPY WITH HIS MONEY.
Lunatic Who Thought His Money
Never Gave Out Sent to MiIIedse-

Joseph Jenkins, a negro crazy over
money and religion, who had more of
the latter than the former. after a
trial before a jury at the Jail yester-
day afternoon. was ordered sent to
Milledgeville. The case was one of the
funniest which has been tried in the
Ordinary Court for a long time, and,
differing from the average case, there
was nothing in it to incite pity
Had Jenkins been in the possession
of all of his faculties he could not
have been as happy. A great big black
burly negro he is,with horn voice.
When called upon for a statement by
one of the jurors. he arose and ac-
commodated him in a manner that
convulsed the panel. He told them how
his money never gave out, and how
happy it all made him. He had to be
stopped.
His mental disorder was caused, the
evidence disclosed. from the loss of a
house, by fire. 1t was his sole possess
sion, and with the exception of a bit of
land that was worth but little. left
him penniless. Why the loss should
have made him imagine he was mil
lionaire philanthropist was too syco-
logical a question for the jurors.

CADETS TO HOLD
PRIZE DRILL APRIL Ia.
Annual Competitive Exhibition VIII
be Held at Guards Hall.

Amman SOInpet1tiNe EAhhDItAOh WIN
be Held at Guards Hall.
The annual prize drill of the Savan-
nah Cadets, which is always looked
forward to with a great deal of pleas
ure by the members of the command
and their friends and by the public
generally, will take place on April IA.
This was decided yesterday morning,
when the deal for the Guards Hall
which will be used for the occasion,
was closed.
1t is expected that the competition
for the coveted gold company medal
will be greater this year than ever be-
fore. The members of the command
have long since started practiciag for
the contest; in fact, from the time
that one competition is finished until
the one the following year, the prep
aration never abates. The Cadets ex-
pect to eclipse all past efforts in the
exhibition which they will give on the
14th of April.
The Cadets have the well earned dis
tinction of being the best drilled COM
pany in the city and the prize drills
are always highly enjoyable and en-
tertaining. The attendance in the
command and the interest manifested
has been greater than ever before.
During the past year there were six
teen mem bers of the command who
never missed a single drill of the fifty
and odd, which the company held.
There were many more who missed
but one or two. Not alone as drillers
do they excel, but the company has
more marksmen in it than any other
in the state and probably in the
South.
An attractive programme has been
arranged for the occasion. The compa-
ny, under command of Capt. West, will
be put through the manual of arms as
a warming up exercise. The competi-
ton is always so keen and the desire
for the medal so great that the men are
naturally nervous when they arrive at
the hall. 1t has been found that these
practice drills are not alone beneficial
to the men, but entertaining to the
spectators, and they have therefore
been continued this year.
The competitive drill will then fol-
low the company being divided into
platoons. The five last men left stand
ing in each platoon will then be put
through the most difficult commands in
the tactics, until but a single man
withstands the fire of the commands.
This man, last year, was Private Neill
Coney, who now wears the handsome
medal. The medal has been contested
for for twelve years, and has been worn
successfully by the three Coney broth
ers, Walter, Wilbur and Neil.
After the competitive drill, dancing
will be INDUCED in, the First Regiment
Orchestra having been engaged for the
occasion. All guests will be
requested to appear in uni
form The attendance will be
Nv t%rN T. !
but that, as in the past. the Invitations
will be in great demand. The commit
tee, which has the arrangements in
hand. is composed of Lieut.. Thorpe,
Sergt. Sloat, Corpl. Butler, Private
Artley and Private ConeY.

Toys & Eckstein's Opening.

Yesterday was Opening day" of mill
linery and spring fashions at Foye &
Eckstein's. Crowds visited the store
and enjoyed the beautiful exhibition
of fine merchandise. Everybody was
pleased and went away delighted. The
firm dispensed with the usual palm
decorations and depended entirely on
the rich looking fabrics for display,
and the effect was excellent. The ar
rargement of the merchandise all over
the building betokened excellent store
keeping.
On the main floor was displayed a
bewildering array of silks, dress goods,
tons, fancy goods, corsets and hosiery.
The laces, embroideries and dress
trimmings called for particular ad-
miration. On this floor is also a well
equipped shoe store for ladies and chill
dren and the newest shapes of low
shoes in all styles of feathers were in
evidence.
On the second floor is the millinery
parlor, over which Mrs. Golden pre-
sides. The ladies were carried away
by the beauty of the hats shown. Mod
els from the famous Partisan ateliers-
sombre black hats in rich materials
for mourning, hats constructed entirely
of foliage and flowers, jaunty hats for
young people and sweet looking hats
for misses and children. Plumes,
aigrettes, flowers, crowns, braids orna-
ments and ribbons were exhibited in
all colors and blendings.
On this floor is the ladies' suits de-
partment, with it's great variety of
costumes in silk, wool, cotton and lin
ems. The display included linen tot
lettes in linen of all shades, shirt waist
suits made of foulard silks and cotton
fabrics. Separate skirts of all kinds,
| ladies underwear, and the ever-popu-
lar shirt waist, from the cheap cotton
to the finest crepe de chine.
On the third and fourth floors and in
the annex the furniture department
| made a fine showing. The richly
carved sideboards, bedroom suites in
all kinds of woods, enamel and brass
bedsteads, handsome parlor furniture.
| ladies' desks, china cases and mirror
doored wardrobes We're very attractive.
The opening surpassed any the firm
has made heretofore and was a com
| plete success in every way.

No. 8 of Odd Fellows are making prep
arations for their visit to the Rebekah
Assembly to be held in Atlanta in May,

initiatory work of the lodge. The
Grand Lodge offers a money prize an

cided but definite action will probably
be taken at the meeting of the lodge

FALSE ALARMS OF FIRE
Called the Department to Two Boxes
Yesterday Afternoon.

Quite a little excitement was caused
yesterday afternoon at $40 o'clock by
an alarm of fire sounded almost stimuli
taneously from boxes II and 10 at
Broughton and Jefferson, and Whitaker
and Broughton streets.
The most of the companies "receiv-
ed" box IL and hurried there. but no
fire was found. An alarm of fire from
this box always means the gathering
of a crowd, and in a few minutes
Broughton street was packed. Chief
Mcguire was promptly on the scene
and no cause for the alarms could be
found, those sending in the calls stat
ing that all they knew was that some
one had said there was fire in the
neighborhood.

POST OF FIRST RANK

HAS BOUGHT MUCH LAND

NATION PROCEEDINGS.

Thirteen and n Half Acres Secured
from Tybee Beach Company and
Mrs. Catherine NayIOr-Deeds For
Vvarded to Washington - Price
Will be Paid When These are APP
prOved-Other Property, About
Ten Acres, Owned by Summer
Residents, Who Want Too High
Price for 1t, the Government
ThinJ<s-Land Already Secured
and That Wanted Would Give
Twenty-three and Half Acres
in Addition to Present Reserva-
tion.
Fort Screven is soon to be made a
military post of the first rank if the
move that the United States govern
ment is now contemplating be carried
out. and there is little doubt that it
will. The government has concluded
a bargain with the Tybee
Beach Company and Mrs. Cath
crime Naylor for some thirteen
and a half acres of land ad-
joining that Of the present fort reser-
walton, and wants about ten acres
more.
The ten acres wanted consists Of
some sixty lots situated between what
are unofficially known as Main street,
First avenue, Second avenue and Third
avenue. 1t was intended for sites for
summer homes and many of the forty
odd owners have built cottages on
their holdings. The government has
made an offer for the land but the
property owners have placed a price
on their holdings that the government
thinks too high and unless they reduce
the price and come to terms it is ru
mored that summary action may be
taken by the United States authorities
in the form of condemnation pro-
ceedings.
The deeds to the property of the Ty-
bee Beach Company and that of Mrs.
Naylor have been investigated and
forwarded to Washington. When the
report shall have been approved by
the Attorney General the purchase
price will be paid. The title to the
property was traced back as far as
1856, when the greater part of the is
land, if not the whole of it, was owned
by the Screven family.
Just what the government wants
with so large a piece of property as
it's present holdings and the property
Sought would give it, is unknown. The
importance of the port would, of
course, account for a first class post be-
ing established on the island but hard
ly account for the desire to secure so
much land.
