PHILADELPHIA BASEBALL!STS
Will DO Preparatory Work mt jack
sOnviIIc Instead of Here.

The Philadelphia baseball team of the
American League will not come to this
city for their preparatory work, as had
been announced as a likely possibility,
but will go to Jacksonville instead. The
Philadelphia Record of Tuesday says:
Manager Mack stated yesterday that
he would start south the latter part of
this month with ten or possibly eleven
men for preliminary training at Jack
sonVille, Fla. 1t was Macks first in
tention to send only the pitchers south,
but he has decided to take all the men
who are likely to need extra work to
get them into condition.
"Mack's list includes Pitchers Plank,
Wilson, Bender, the Indian; Henley
and Quinn; Catcher Powers Outfield-
ers Hoffman, Pickering and Seybold,
and Infielder Murphy. An effort is he
ing made to have Coakley also join the
squad. though he has not yet signed.
Catcher Schreckengost left yester-
day to join Waddell at Winter Park,
which is some distance farther south
than Jacksonville. The star battery
will work at Winter Park until Mack
and the other men reach Jacksonville.
The men will remain at Jackson
vile for about one month, and return
to this city to play spring series with
the Phillies. Managers Mack and
Shettsline will probably get together
to-day and arrange the details of this
series -"

Heads of Departments Join in This
Expression.

HeudS OF departments JOIN IN Ih1s
Expression.
Washington, Feb. Admiral Tay-
lor, chief of the Navigation Bureau,
has made the following recommended
ton to the Secretary of the Navy con-
corning Capt. Hobsons resignation:
THE bureau is reluctant to recon-
mend the acceptance of this officers
resignation, believing that time should
be given him to reconsider his decision
and make a trial of the new duties at
the station to which he has been as
signed, that the government may re-
tain the services of an officer whose
record has been so brilliant"
Secretary Moody to-day telegraphed
this recommendation to Capt. Hobson,
with the statement that the depart
ment approved it and transmitted it to
him for his consideration.
The correspondence accompanying the
tender of the resignation was made
public to-day. Capt. Hobson gives as
a reason for his action the bad condi-
ton of his eyes, and concludes his let
ter as follows:
Upon thus SeVering my official con-
nections with the navy l beg to make
the following standing and permanent
request: That upon the approach of
dent forward to Congress the applica-
ton 1 hereby make to be restored to
the navy and assigned to active duty
during the period of emergency.
In conclusion, 1 beg to repeat that
l am completely devoted to the navy
regarding the navy's past as the most
glorious of records, and its future as
the most important factor in the work
ing out of our country's role of benefi-
cent world service, and 1 shall endeavor
in every possible way to render service
to the navy, purposing during the time
of my life to accomplish the very max
imum in useful service to the navy and
the nation"
The attitude of the construction
corps, to which Mr.. Hobson is attached
is disclosed in this Endorsement upor
the letter:
THE bureau recommends acceptance
to take effect Feb 5, 1908.

WILL PAVE PERRY LANE.
Matters Disposed of by City Council
Last Night.

LAST Nlk
DESPITE strong opposition that de-
veloped yesterday the City Council
last night decided, by vote OF 10
4. to pave Perry lane from Bull street
10 Drayton street with vitrihed brick.
Aldermen Colding. GraNson. Davant
and Canty voted against the ordinance
when it was placed on its second
reading.
Before the ordinance was read for
the second time a petition from a ma
sority of the owners. of abutting prop
erty was read. In this petition Coun-
eli was urged not to pass the ordinance
and a vigorous protest was made. 1t
vas recited that there could be no
commercial necessity for paving the
lare and that the paving would not
increase the valuation of adjoining
property.
After the petition had been read AL
derman Watson, chairman of the
Streets and Lanes Committee. moved
the adoption of the ordinance. Alder
man Colding was the first member of
Council called upon to vote. He lifted
his voice against the ordinance and de-
cIared that he would not vote for it in
the face of the protest. In voting for
the passage of the ordinance the
Mayor said that he favored it from
sanitary point of view. The ordinance
providing for the paving of Broughton
lane with the same material from
Bull street to Drayton. was passed
without a dissenting voice.
The ordinance for the paving OF
Park avenue from West Broad street
TO Whitaker, and from Drayton street
10 East Broad was put on its frst
reading. 1t will be passed at the next
regular meeting of Council without
any trouble No other street paving
ordinances were introduced by the
chairman of the Streets and Lanes
Committee. a petition from sundry
property owners asking for the paw
ing of West Broad street from Gwin-
nett south was read and will be con-
sidered.

of Savannah from their feet.
AS soon as it became known that
Detective Frank Wall had landed a
member of the tribe, for alleged COM
plicity in the theft of $50 from a
stranger. the touts got out of the way.
One of those who left the city is said
to be the man who actually got the
cash, and the individual in custody will
probably be released and given in
structions to leave Savannah at once.
1t was complained to the police that
one of the touts had induced a stranger
to bet on a sure thing" and that the
pony ran under the wire first by full
neck. The man who furnished the tip
had made the bet for the stranger and
volunteered to cash the ticket. This
he did without any difficulty. but fall

THE RIGHT THING.
A New Catarrh Cure, Which Is Rap
idly Coming to the Front.

For several years, Red Gum, Blood
root and Hydrastin have been recog-
nized as standard remedies for ca
tarrhal troubles, but they have always
been given separately and only very
recently an ingenious chemist succeed
ed in combining them, together with
other antiseptics into a pleasant, ef-
fectiVe tablet.
Druggists sell the remedy under the
name of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets and
it has met with remarkable success in
the cure of nasal catarrh, bronchial
and throat catarrh and in catarrh of
the stomach.
Mr.. F. n. Benton, whose address is
care of Clark House, Troy, ". T.,
says: when 1 run up against any,
thing that is good 1 like to tell peo-
pie Of it. l have been troubled with
catarrh more or less for some time.
Last winter more than ever Tried
several so-called cures. but did not get
any benefit from them. About six
weeks ago 1 bought a 50 cent box of
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets and am
glad to say they have done wonders
for me and do not hesitate to let all
my friends know that Stuart's Catarrh
Tablets are the right thing"
Mr.. George ]. Casanova of hotel
Griffon. West Ninth street, New York
city, writes: Il have commenced US
ing Stuarts Catarrh Tablets and al
ready they have given me better re-
suits than any catarrh cure / have
ever tried"
A leading physician Of Pittsburg ad-
vises the use of Stuart's Catarrh
Tablets in preference TO any other
treatment for Catarrh Of head. and
throat or stomach.
He claims they are far superior TO
inha4ers. salves lotions or powder. and
are much more convenient and pleas
ant to take and are so harmless that
little children take them with benefit
as they contain no opiate, cocaine or
any poisonous drug,
