UNIVERSITY CLUBS MEETING.

Organization VIII Probably Take
Some Action in Regard TO Club
Rooms.
The quarterly meeting Of the Uni
versity Club will be held this evening
at the residence of DR.. ]. Lawton
HERS. No. u Liberty street. east, at
$3.50 o'clock.
1t is probable that some action will
be taken in regard to the procuring of
club rooms. Since the club moved
from the Hussars Club, it has had no
home. The members have been most
hospitable in offering their homes for
the meetings, but it is their desire to
procure some permanent club rooms.
No other business of Importance is
likely 10 come up. A number of in
teresting papers will be read.

capacity of 10000 pounds each. At

used as fertilizer after it has been
picked over for junk. The city has
agreed to pay the Savannah Electric
Company $50 a day based upon seven
ty-five tons, and 81 a carload for all
in excess of that number of tons. The
cars are high affairs and were con-
structed at a cost of $3.50 each. They
were the first cars of the sort err

work of unloading a car by operat-

HACKMEN AT THE
UNION STATION.

The hackmen have to a large extent
made rules of their own at the Union
Station, and it is about impossible now
to get from the station to a street
car at incoming train time without
climbing over the tops of a row of
hacks or walking block around The
ends of the line that blocks West
Broad street the entire front of the
station. Sixteen hacks were lined up,
some of them tapping over each other
in front of the station last night on
the arrival of a Seaboard Air Line
train, and the hackman didn't wait
for the passengers to get to the side
walk before half dozen had corralled
them. Those who wanted to reach the
street cars had to force their way
through the line of hacks. The hack
man is convenience when he is in
the right place. but he is anything but
a convenience when it comes to carry
ing off passengers by force.

A MILITARY GERMAN.
Dance to Visiting CavnIrymen Mt
Hotel Tybee Tonight

Hotel Tybee Tonight.
A military german will be given to-
night at Hotel Tybee, complimentary
to the visiting cavalrymen The affair
will be attended by the officers and
men of all of the local military com
mands. The troopers are enthusiastic
over the proposed ball, and it is likely
that a large crowd will go to the island
this evening.
The dance will begin at o'clock.
Col. Meldrim has given the members
of the camp leave of absence until l
O'Clock, two hours more than the usual
time, in order that they may be able to
return on the late train, take their es-
corts home. and return to camp, with
out breaking any of the rules of camp.
The local military men were anxious
TO give a dance to the visitors. and
many expressed themselves as glad
that some one had taken the initiative
in the matter During the encamp-
ments at Griffin, Augusta and Rome.
military balls were given with great
success. The additional inducement of
the sea shore will serve to make the
german to the caValrymen from ''up
state the more delightful.
Arrangements have been made with
the street railway company to run
late cars to the camp, and the rail-
road company has made a special rate
of 25 cents for the round trip. The
german will be attended by the visit
ing cavalrymen, the local militia ana
the officers from the fort, and will
doubtless be the social event of the en-
campment. A number of parties were
made up yesterday.

vented many of the men from seeing

BIG INCREASE IN
POSTAL MONEY ORDERS
Substantial Evidence of the Growth and Pros

A statement of the money order
business transacted at the Savannah
postoffice has just been prepared by
Mr.. Harry P. Rawls. superintendent of
the Money Order Department. The
statement includes the figures on do

paid, during the year ending June 80,
1903. The increase in the several items
is very satisfactory, indicating as it
does an increase in population and
continued prosperity. Nearly 1000
more orders were paid last year than
the year previous, and the amount was
over $4,000 in excess of the year end

OLD TOMBSTONE MINES
for Resumption of
 Work on Randolph Group.

Work on the Randolph group of mines, about two miles southwest of Tombstone, is to be commenced, and with that idea in view J. Brewster, president: A. D. Brewster. vice presi- dent, and s. A. McMahon, secretary, of the Randolph Mining company. are now on the ground perfecting preliminaries to at once sink a wo-cOmpartment shaft and otherwise develop that prop erty. These mines were worked during the early days of the camp, says the PrCspector, and were made to yield generously to the persuasive chlorider, an assurance that the property is of merit and only requires systematic work to make of it a dividend-payer. One hundred and twenty thousand dol lars have been expended upon the prop erty, one shaft having been sunk to a depth of 300 feet. with cross-cuts at intervals, demonstrating to the satis- faction of the company that they have a mine, hence the two- accompaniment shaft and the abandoning of the old workings.

SHARPNESS OF INDIAN SIGHT.

Stewart Edward White, in his latest book. 'The Forest which is to be brought out this fall by The Outlook company, tells some interesting stories of the keen senses of the Woods Indians of Northern Canada. Concerning the
 sharpness of their sight. he writes: In journeying down the Kapuskasing river our Indians-who had come from
 the woods to guide us-always saw game long before we did. They would
 never point it out to us. The bow of i the canoe would swing silently in. it's direction, there to rest motionless until we indicated that we had seen some thing.
 Where is it, Peter?" would 'whis- per. .--G -:.gs But Peter always remained contemp- l.tuously silent. One evening we padded directly into the eye of the setting sun across a
 shallow little lake filled with hardly
 sunken powders. There was no cur-,.
 rent, and no breath of wind to-stir the
 water into betraying nipples. But in- variably those Indians twisted the ca noe into a new course ten feet before we reached one of the Instructions, whose existence our dazzled vision could not attest until they were actual ly below us. They saw those rocks through the simmer of the surface
 glare.
 Another time I discovered a small
 black animal lying fiat on a point of shale. Its head was concealed behind a powder. and it was so far away that
 I was inclined to congratulate myself
 on having differentiated it from the shadow. J.is- What is it, Peter?' asked. Peter hardly glanced at it.. ..I-.
 "Ninny -moosh' (dog), he replied.
 Now, we were hundred miles south
 of the Hudson's Bay Post and two
 weeks north of any other settlement.
 Saving a horse, a dog would be about
 the last thing to occur to one in guess
 ing at the identity of any strange ami
 nal. This looked like a little black
 blotch, without form. Yet Peter knew
 it. It was a dog, lost from some In-
 dian hunting party, andf nightly glad

CT of La Boheme' and ''Tosca," are very far from reassuring.
 It is now some months since he was travelling one evening in his motoh car and was thrown out, his thigh bone being badly broken. He was at once taken home, and passed many weeks of suffering, but was cheerful and hope full, and all seemed going well. How ever, the weeks passed into months, and they say the months will pass into years, and he still walks with crutches, as the bone will not knit.
 Puccini was noted among Italians for his love of sport, especially shooting. When his fingers were not on the key board of the piano they held a gun, the tramping and physical fatigue being not the least of the enjoyment. That this man, almost giant in stature and strength, should become a chronic in- valid must distress not only his nearest and dearest. but also those who know him only through his music. Puccini shows the marks of his suffering, phy- sical and mental. He is gaunt and
