PROFITS IN A cITvs REFUSE.

In the October Scribner's John Nc
Cav woodbury. Commissioner Of Street
Cleaning Of New York City, has an in
tere. ting article on THE Wastes of
Great city" which is really q story of
now garbage and other refuse may be
made TO yield a profit. Until recently
It was the practice to haul all collec-
elons Of refuse out to sea and dump 1t.
nhen experiments were made at incin-
Grafton. until Col waring devised a sys-
tenn that contemplated a return from
The refuse and its conversion into
harmless and valuable products; and
that system is being improved every
year.
The experiments in New York should
be studied by the authorities OF Other
cities, and all that is contemplated is
good business methods. The refuse Of
city is composed OF many elements,
and II those arc mixed there Is no way
but 10 reduce the whole mass by incin-
grafton, which involves much expense
without any return in the form Of re-
-ultant products Therefore the waste.
materials must be separated into cer7
ain classes by the householders. This
primary separation is into three
classes. garbage, ashes and household
waste or rubbish. This separation en-
ables the collectors to transfer each
sind to the proper plant for its redue-
Ion.
The garbage Is rich in animal and
10 vegetable oils. and from this produci
/, there IL a large revenue. The residue

A concerted effort is being made by
scientists and physicians to dissemin-
ate intelligence respecting the pestifer-
GUS character OF the common house

troublesome, and, except in the poorest
homes, more or less energetic efforts
to get rid of them are made, with part
tial success but It has never been sufti-
ciently well understood that beside be-
ing a nuisance. they constitute a dam
ger to health OF the most threatening
character. According to the opinion
Of scientists. formed on facts deter

i've observations, flies carry contagion,

BRYAN'S "PENNILESS" CAMPAIGN
Tells Indiana Democrats to Appeal to
Peoples Conscience.


South Bend, Ind, Sept. 25.-William
Jennings Bryan has written a letter to
the Tribune in which he declares THAI
In order to win the Democratic party
In this state must conduct a "penniiess
campaign that will appeal to the con-
science and patriotism of the people"
In part the letter says:
The sooner the Democratic party in
Indiana makes up its mind to carry on
a 'penniless campaign that viii appeal
to the conscience and patriotism Of the
people the sooner we will make pro-
gress in that state. It is impossible to
collect a large campaign fund except
from the corporations. and the cam
paign funds collected from the corpo-
rations put the party in a position
where it is impossible to do anything.
The Democratic party must either be
going towards piutocracy or away from
It"

BUILDING LAUNCH
FOR CHINESE WATERS.

Independent Presbyterian Sunday
school Has Amount Nearly Raised.
Nearly the entire amount necessary
for building the steam launch Evan
gel has been raised by the chill
dren of the Independent Presbyterian
Church Sunday-school. When COM
pleted the boat will be sent to China
for the use of Mr.. Hudson, the mis-
sionary who is supported by the Sa-
vannah Independent Church. 1t is
hoped that work on the launch can be
started within q few days.
The method of raising the funds is
an unique one. Small certificates con-
tanning picture of a ship and accredit-
ing the holder with a certain number
of shares have been prepared by Mr..
Mcneil, superintendent of the Sunday
school. Shares in the Evangel are
only 10 cents, EACH and these have
been taken up rapidly by the children
of the school.
Mr.. Hudson has found that his work
is greatly Handicapped because he has
no fast means of moving from place
to place, along the river near which
he is working. By the barges, the
only means of locomotion at hand, two
days are required to go from one place
to the other and the same time in
coming back again. In this way four
days of the week are lost. When the
launch reaches him he will be able
to make the trip in two hours

Col. w. G. Obear to Inspect Three
More Commands Before Leaving.
Companies B. and c., of the Guards.
were inspected last night by Col w.
G. Obear, inspector of Georgia State
Troops. The attendance in each case
was very good. Company B, out of
an enlisted strength of f1fty-four men,
had forty-two in ranks and all of
the others were accounted for. Com
pany had thirty-nine men in ranks
Company B was commanded by Capt
stephens, and Company C by Can't
H. e. Wilson.
The inspection took place in Guards
Hall, where the men were put through
extended order and close order drills
and firing. The commissioned of
ficers were called on to answer various
questions about military matters.
The companies were at rather a dis
advantage in being inspected at this
particular time, for in Company Il are
number of new men, whose only in
struction in drilling has been received
since the present season was begun,
while the men of both companies were
further handicapped because not fa-
miliar with the Krag-Jorgenson guns,
which were distributed to them but a
short time ago.
Tonight Col. Obear will inspect Com
pany A and Company d of the Guards.
and tomorrow night the Chatham Ar
tillery. This will end the inspection
of Savannah companies for this
year, as Col. Obear will need the time
between now and the new year to pre-
pare his report.

Custody of Police.
Charged with the theft of a shotgun
valued at more than $50, which makes
the offense punishable by a term in
the penitentiary. Isaac Levy and Will
lie Johnston, two white men well known
in police circles, were arrested YES
terday afternoon by Detective Muir
ply.
The gun was stolen from o. S. Du-
pree under rather peculiar circum-
stances. Dupree's belongings were at
tached by a constable from Justice
Naughtin's court and Levy went to
the house with the officer. The prop
erty was taken to the office of the
magistrate, but the constable never
had the gun in his possession and was
Ignorant of the fact that Dupree own
ed one.
Later the defendant in the civil az
ton settled the case and his property
was returned. He at once put in a.
claim for the shotgun, which had not
been seen by the constable. Dupree
reported what had happened to the DO
nee and the gun was found in a loan
office, where Johnston had secured AZ

lowed and the constable as well as
Dupree will appear against the pris

COntended That Blow on Head Was
Not So Serious.
1T is a well-known axiom that a
blow on the head of a Caucasian will
cause death where in the case of a
colored man there will be no serious
results
In an effort to have his client turn
ed over to the City Court for stab
bling not in his own defense, rather
than to the Superior Court for assault
with intent to murder, ]. H. Kinckle,
colored attorney, advanced this ar
gument to Recorder Myrick in Po-
lice Court yesterday.
William Brown was arraigned for
stabbing B. w. MundS in the head
with a knife some time ago. The
evidence against Brown was strong
enough to warrant the Recorder in
holding him, and the question was one
of whether Brown should be tried
for miSdemeanor or a felony 1t
was shown that the knife had been
driven into Mund's head and that he
had a close call.
The colored attorney urged the Re
corder to act on the theory that the
crime could not have been one of as
sault with intent to murder, because
blow in a Negroes head was not
likely to produce death But the Re-
cOrder could not see the logic of
kinckle's argument and Brown was
remanded for. trial in the Superior
Court for committing a felonious as
sault.
