YOUNG FOREIGNER
LABELED AND SHIPPED.
Sent by Immigration Bureau From
New York to Columbus.

Sent by immigration Bureau From
New York to Columbus.
Labeled like an express package, a
small boy passed through Savannah
yesterday en- route to Columbus. His
name is Stephnik Jente. He lie con-
signed-no other word will exactly de-
scribe the conditions under which he
is traVeling-to his brother in Column
bus The youngster who reached Sa-
vannah by the Seaboard Air Line, was
sent South by the governments immi-
grafton bureau at New York city. A
tag bearing the address of the bureau
and also containing the boys name
and the address of his brother in CO.
lumbus was made fast in a button hole
of the boys oVercoat, while another
tag, large enough to be called a placard,
was made fast to the breast of the
coat and bore "Seaboard Air Line" in
letters an inch long.
These precautions were necessary to
get the little traveller to his destina-
ton in safety, for he could speak not
q word of English and might have got
into more than one pretty pickle had
any system other than tagging him
been resorted to. The little chap pre-
scented a brave front. He seemed to
realize he could not make himself I'M
derstood, and so made no effort to talk.
He was turned over by the conductor
of the Seaboard Air Line to Annie, the
stewardess at the station, to be start
ed on the Columbus train.
AS he trudged through the station
the boy attracted much attention. He
seemed to consider this as a matter
of course, stood patiently until the Gu
riosity of the person was satisfied.

Good News for Christmns.

1t will be pleasant reading for many
people this morning to learn from the
large advertisement Of Messrs. Stern
berk & Co., on another page, that re-
spending to the earnest solicitations
of many of their customers, they have
consented to continue their auction
sales of their fine diamond and ;ewe:-
ry stock all this week for the general
bereit of Christmas shoppers. There
viii be, however, this week, only two
sales each day. viz, at $3.50 aid 7:SO
p. M, thus devoting the entire fore
noon to the reception of visitors who
may wish to inspect or select Offer
ings for the auction sales. Those who
prefer buying at private sale will be
allowed a discount of % per cent. on
their purchase. It is something quite
unusual to be able to buy the most
valuable merchandise at practically
your own prices and this week will
doubtless be Messrs. Sternberg & Co. s
record week.-ad.

Aftcr-FigurinE on Tax Ordinance
for 1904.
Although the members of City Coun-
Gil Will agree tomorrow night on the
appropriations for 1904. the budget will
not be passed until the tax ordinance
has been agreed upon. The two must
be passed at the same time.
As has been stated in the Morning
News, there will be no increases in sal
aries, and the department appropria-
tons will not be materially increased,
and some of them probably not at all
AS it appears now there will be great
deal more work in the compiling of the
tax ordinance than in agreeing upon
the department appropriations.
Quite a number of changes will prob
ably be made in the tax ordinance
and it may be found necessary to hold
two meetings before it is finally agreed
upon. The aldermen are figuring on
additions to the ordinance. and also
on increasing the figures in one or two
cases. 1t is intended. among other
things, to jump the music hall license
from $500 to $1,000.
To BE no Reduction.
There will be no cutting down of
figures by Council in next years
schedule" said one alderman, unless
it be in the matter of expenditures.
The music hall license is not the only
one that the aldermen are considering
raising. They expect to jump the
billposter's tax from $40 to 800. las
this tax is now" said a member Of
Council, this business is all done by
one man. We raised the tax to $40 at
his request, and now we think it high
time to make it 500.
A difference will also probably be
made in the tax required of those who
run fruit stands. At present the city
gets $50 a year from each stand. 1t
is intended to specify that those fruit
stand men who have places indoors
need pay only $50 a year, but that
those who use the sidewalks be re-
quired to pay 800.
Cook Stands Must Go.
The ordinance will hardly consider
cook stands and in this way it is in
tended to abate what is looked upon
by many as a nuisance. At the same
time Council will have to eliminate
from the tax ordinance pool rooms.
The license on a pool room was $1,000,
but a decision of the Supreme Court
knocked it out of the tax book.
Another plan that is on foot is to
force the proprietors of planning mills
whose factories are out of the city
but who do business in the city, to
pay the specific tax of 800. Ice COM
panies, using the streets of the city,
and doing business in the city, even
though the factories are outside of the
limits, will also be called upon to pay
| the tax of 500.
1t is proposed to make the publishers
of city directories pay a special tax
and there will be quite number of
additions to the present tax ordinance.

ARTILLERY SERGEANT

Angered at the sight of the red on

Screven. a cow tied at the Tybee de-
pot early yesterday afternoon attack
ed the soldier
Mike Walsh, a Tybee fisherman, who
went to the rescue of the soldier, was
gored by the COW and badly bruised.
The artillery sergeant had his uniform
torn, but escaped serious injury. He
was the owner of the COW and was
making arrangements to take her to
the fort where he has his family.
When the sergeant went up to the
COW, however, she lowered her head
and he could do nothing with her.
After his rough experience he changed
his uniform with the red binding of
the artillery service for a civilians
suit, and with the aid of the fisher
man, and others, got his COW on the
train for Tybee. Walsh was not bad
ly hurt. and made the trip on the same
train. The name of the sergeant could
not be learned. but 1t was stated that
he was on furlough.

Wanted by the police for stealing BIZ
cycles, Henry Harris, aged Il years,
and Alexander Milton, aged l6 years
both colored, were arrested yesterday
in a yard in Broughton lane, near
Abercorn street, by Detective Frank
Wall.
The juvenile bicycle thieves were
caught with two stolen bicycles, and
already the plain clothes man has three
charges against them. Detective Wall
was alone when he made the arrest
and had one boy in each hand when
they began fighting. The young thieves
not only fought. but they screamed at
the top of their voices.
The detective had his hands full in
every sense of the word and, too De-
fore the arrival of the patrol wagon

clared that they We're innocent. al
though they had stolen wheels when
placed in custody. Harris, who has
served a term on the changing, fought
hard, and the detective had all that
he could do to hold on to the boy.
When the juvenile crook made an
effort to bite the plain clothes man
and began kicking. the detective made
him slap his own face. Even this did
not keep Harris quiet, and the arrests
occasioned considerable excitement in
the neighborhood. For several days
the officers have been searching for
the two boys, and several trips were
made to the house in question before
the young cuiprits were located The
police are of the opinion that Harris
and Milton have been guilty of most
of the bicycle stealing recently report
ed. It is expected that other cases
will be made out against the prison
