so dense that you noticed the curling
rim they made around her gray eyes.
AS to her figure, it was just in its
roundness and suppleness. and had q
hghtness Of carriage that have never
seen equaled. There was charm in
looking at without approaching her
that might have satisfied me indell-
niteiy if De Chaumont had not come
home
Ernestine herself made the first
breach in that sacred reserve. The old
woman met me in the hall, courtesied
and passed as usual. turned behind
the broad ribbons which hung down
her back from cap to heels and said:
"Oh. BY the way, Ernestine, how is
Nine. de Ferrier? I was going to
knock"-
And Ernestine courtesied again and
opened the door. standing aside for me
to enter.
Mime. de Ferrier sat on a bearskin be-
fore the hearth with Paul, who
climbed over her and gave her juicy
kisses. There was a deep wood fire
Upheld by very tall andirons having
cups in their tops. which afterward I
learned were called posset cups. She
was laughing so that her white teeth
showed, and she made me welcome like
playmate, remaining on the rug and
bidding Ernestine set chair for me
near the fire.
"It is very kind Of you to spare me
some time, monsieur" said Nine. de
Ferrier. She admonished Paul, Don't
,hoke your little mother
I told her boldly that nothing but the
.sread of disturbing her kept me from
knocking every day. We had always

she answered. Sophie Saint-Michel and
her mother were my teachers, and they
are gone now, one to heaven and the
other to Castorlo nd"
Remembering what Annabel de
Chaumont said about Sophie, I in
quired if she had been religious.
"The Saint.Michels were better than
religious. Both mother and daughter
were eternally patient with the poor
count, whose troubles unsettled his
reason. They had no dear old Ernes-
tine, and were reduced to the hardest

Pensacola, Fla, March 11.-No Wit
nesses were examined before the gen.
eral court-martial at the navy yard
to-day in the trial of Ensign Wort
man, the entire day being consumed in
the arguments of Judge Advocate
Winslow and Lieut.. Field, counsel for
the accused, upon the admissibility of
the evidence of Capt. H. M. Manney,
commander Of the Massachusetts.
The question at issue is whether a
statement made to Capt. Manney by
the accused when the latter examined
him, Immediately after the explosion,
should be admitted as evidence. The
court has ruled out all of the records
and evidence of the court of inquiry,
and as all of the witnesses to the ex-
plosion, with the exception of the ac-
cused, are dead, it is essential that the
prosecution have the statement of En-
sign Workman to the commander of
the ship; else it will have no convict
ing evidence.
After consuming the entire day in
argument, the court adjourned with
out rendering a decision.

JONES STREET SEWERAGE.
Method Suggested for Abatement Of
Alleged Nuisance.

great deal of comment and I'M
favorable criticism has been aroused
among the residents of the neighbor-
hood of Jones and Tattnall streets by
the pumping of water from the sew
ers into the streets. The residents say
that the water in the streets creates
a stencil, and that unless the practice
is abated the health of the community
will be impaired.
1t has been suggested that the fire
department be called into service for
the purpose of removing the water
A well-known young engineer, in talk
ing over the matter yesterday, said
that this plan would not be feasible,
since the engine hose is only made for
pumping clear water, and the passage
of the water from the sewer would
injure the hose.
He suggests that a wooden head be
provided as a man-hole, and that a
steam centrifugal pump be inserted,
with suction through the man head,
connecting with a line of 212 inch hose
pipe, leading to a catch basin of the
storm sewerage system. The line of
hose need not be more than block
loug.
The present pumping is being done
with diaphram pump, by hand force
il is argued that a steam centrifugal
pump can easily be secured and that
the present difficulty will be averted
in the future.

AGAINST DISFlGURlNG
THE OAKS.

Chairman Damn's Protest Against
the Cutting on of branches to
Move Old Houses.
The disfiguring of the live oak trees
on Henry and Bull streets by the
moving of the old house from the cor
ner of Drayton and Henry streets to
the lot on Bull street next to St. Paul S
Lutheran Church, where it is to be re-
modelled as a parsonage, has aroused
a protest from nearly everyone who
has seen it.
Yesterday a part of the massive oak
which has overhung the roadway at
Bull and Anderson streets was cut off
TO allow the passage of the house.
The branchzs Of the oaks on Henry
street between Drayton and Bull
streets were also cut.
Chairman Dahn Of the Fa-k and
Tree Commission said asst night that
the disfgu.ing os the oaks had i'm
pressed him with the Importance of
the city looking well into the sur
roundings before granting permission
to move houses through the streets.
Chairman Daftin said he was power
less to stop the disfiguring of the oaks,
permission having been granted by the
city to move the house through the
streets and the trees being obstruc-
tons to the work.
"In the future" said Mr.. Daffin. Il
hope the City Council will confer with
the Park and Tree Commission before
granting permission to move houses
which will necessitate the disfguTinS
of the trees
The big oak at Bull and Anderson
streets has been a landmark, and its
Disagreement is regretted by everyone
who has seen it.
THE cutting off of the limbs of that
old tree" said one gentleman, is
greater than the value of the old house
for which it had to give way, and
which l understand was sold for 500.
The contractor who has the job of
moving the house was granted author
ity by the city and that ended the mat
ter so far as the Park and Tree Com
missions authority extended. The
work of moving the house has been
retarded by one thing and another.
Contractor Killorin expected to have
the house on the lot to which it is be-
ing moved by Tuesday. 1t is now just
across Anderson street.
DR.. J. w. Daniel, who formerly
owned the house, said that he had
nothing to do with it's being moved. In
the contract for his new residence at
Drayton and Henry streets, the old
house became the property of Con-
tractor Artley, who sold it to Mr.. Heit-
man for parsonage for st. PauPs
Lutheran Church.

While BEING lowed Down COllided
with Schooner, but Not Damaged.
The raft of logs from the upper Sa-
vannah river for use in the building
of the government mooring dolphins
in the lower harbor, was towed down
yesterday morning, and work on the
construction of the dolphins will conn
mence this morning.
In being towed down the river, and
when near the city, the raft collided
with schooner caused by the tide
taking it out of the range allowed by
the tug. but fortunately no damage
was done to the vessel as the logs
struck against the mooring cable and
thus prevented them from striking the
hull of the craft. The raft, however,
was broken loose from the tug and set
adrift, but was easily picked up again,
and with a new hawser taken to it's
destination.
The raft was a small one, consisting
of about 100 logs and was the first
delivery of several hundred more that
will follow in quick succession, and
the contractors have hopes of not be-
ing delayed again by a shortage of ma
terial.

Do Business Men Think of This.

The money that you spend away from
home never comes back any more.'
DO business men think of this?
Take you, for instance. Have you
ever bought an article away from home
because it was a few cents cheaper
than YOU could get at home that you
did not feel that you were retarding
the growth of your city by injuring
the business of its citizens?
1t saves little. if anything, to send
your orders away, or to buy your sup
plies away from hdne. Such a sys-
TEN indirectly hurts you, no matter
who you are. And it works direct
harm TO your fellow citizens, who have
taxes to pay, rent to pay, employees
to pay. and other charges to meet
This applies to all lines of business,
but IN this special advertisement it is
intended to refer to the thousands of
dollars worth of printing, Autograph
ing and blank book work which is
sent away every month by Savannah
business houses.
Think of it!
Thousands of dollars worth going
to other printing houses in other cities
when there are more than a dozen
good ones here, able to 40 much more
work than they are doing If they had
il 10 do.
The more work these concerns have
to do the more people they have to
employ, and these people, as a matter
of course, become buyers. They be-
come customers of the shoe houses,
the dry goods houses. the grocery
houses, the drug houses, and, indeed,
about all lines of business feel the
impetus which increased buyers give.
