There is not much doubt that Presi-
dent Roosevelt will call congress in
extra ordinary session early in the fall,
if not before that time. The visit of
Mr.. Morgan, the trust magnate, to the
white house and his talk to Secretary
Shaw and several senators has given
rise, to the report that Mr.. Morgan
and the president have come to an un-
Outstanding about calling a special
session. Wall street is very anxious
that the bill pressed by Senator AID
rich at the late session Of congress, or
some similar bill for THE relief of the
money market, should be passed to aid
in tiding over the financial trouble that
is expected later in the year. President
Roosevelt being determined to force
the Cuban reciprocity bill through in
spite of the strong opposition in his
twn party, it was doubtless not diff
cult for the Wall street king of finance
to convince him that the banks were
in greatdanger, if a law was not passed
to tide over the money stringency. AS
Mr.. Morgan and his brother Wall
street magnates are looked to for the
main contributions to the republican
campaign fund, they are in a position
to ask for favors at the hands of the
president and a republican congress
that cannot well be denied. The money
power and the republicans have never
yet failed to act in unison when their
interests are identical or to pool their
issues when the political situation
demanded it.

BUSY TIME IN
THE CITY MARKET.

On market day Savannah's CITY mar
ket can be pointed out to visitors as
one of the most interesting places in
the city, indicating, as the vegetables
and fruit displayed there do, the hun
dreds of various products of the soil
that can be successfully cultivated in
this vicinity. The season for vegeta-
bles and fruits has reached it's hight
and yesterday the market house was
filled to overlooking with truck that
would carry off the blue ribbon at al
most any county fair. 1t is here that

the display was one of the finest seen
in a long time. Arranged around the
section allotted to dealers in garden
truck were stand after stand laden
with the good things from the garden.
There were watermelons weighing all
the way from fifty to sixty pounds on
sale for ten cents apiece; eantaloupes
of the Rock Ford variety at two for
five; egg-plants as big a a pickannin-

ready TO be dropped into the pot with
a hog jowl, for Is cents per gallon;
new Irish potatoes at 30 cents per

nothing dear to the palate of the lover

In addition to the products of the
garden and orchard there were fish,
shrimp and crab stalls. where delica-

Waycross, Ga, July 1.-THE ice war
in Waycross has been the universal

tilla Manufacturing Company has re-
duced the prices to Is cents for a hun

The construction gang of the South

reconstructing the telephone system
here. A large force of men will be
at work on the new system for about

equipment is to replace the present one.
New telephone poles, wires, and a new
switch board are to be placed. The

She Banks ON the Jockey.
The women bettors will often wager
money on every mount of a successful
Jockey, and this also frequently lands
them good winnings.
For, while some one has said that in
trying to win on a horse race you have
the owners. the horses and Jockeys to
beat. successful rider will not injure
his chances of gaining a big reputa-
ton, no matter how much money there
may be in 1t for him If he throws the
race.
There's too much money to be made
In as short a career as five years as a
jockey. Once success, and a name has
been won.
But the records show that the faint
est smirch on. riders reputation, that
suggests crooked dealing, ruins him
forever.
There are too many men interested
In racing just at present who will
spend any amount of money In keeping
up the standards and In redeeming the
sport from the conditions which have
injured IL some within the past dec
ace.
This has to great extent encouraged
the presence of women at the race
track, and has certainly added to the
prestige of the feminine enthusiasts
on the grand stand.
Now for the Gowns.
Just at this time of year the gowns
blossom like garden. and the hats
and parasols are positively dazzling.
In the paddock you see dozens OF
smart-looking women before some big
event, looking over the starters and
horses, thoroughbreds that seem quite
proud of the distinction.
Women of late have also evinced
their interest in the sport by purchas-
ing horses of their own and running
them under their husbands names or
some assumed title. AS yet il hasn't
become quite fashionable or faddy to
have stable of ones own, with coll
ors and all that, but within the next
ten years it WILL and we are destined
within that time TO see some great
horses and greater races than ever be-
fore in4the history of the turf.
But we have no really horsy women
such as England sends out. We may
develop them with the newer interest
In racing, but the American woman

THE LADY AND HER WAGER.
Progress in Speculation Among
Ewes Daughters.

From the New York Telegraph.
Ever since the "Florodora" chorus
girls began to amass fortunes on their
stock specuIations in Wall street there
has been an epidemic of-weil, let US
call il quiet speculation" among wom>
en-. ANY number of them become quite
as daring in their spirit as the men
who daily with the tickle goddess, al
though their transactions do not, as
a rule, run to the amounts of those of
the other sex.
If only the women who could afford
it went in for stock operation 1t would
be all right, but there is a large num-
Der of business women who get the
microbe, and the first thing you know,
after a brief squirt of moneyed glory,
the pipe goes out, and they are conn
pletely spoiled for legitimate enter
prises after that delightful sprint on
Easy street.
For while many women imagine
they are born spectators the woman
who wins is always the woman VINO
has some sure tip-giver among her
friends.
Begun i'm the "street."
The Wall street brokers began to
give the chorus girls tips on the stocks
instead Of diamonds a couple of years
ago, and the girls posed among their
friends as wise ones-winner pickers
and all the rest Of ii.
The manner of their speculation was
that Tom or Harry Bull or BERTHE
Bear called them up on the phone and
said that Amalgamated-Some
Other was good and that something
would be doing in cotton shortly, and
would Birdie care to take a flyer?
Birdie always did. for she never used
real money in taking fieyers, so If she
lost she wasn't out, and If the good
thing came in she never failed to get
her check.
This is the best system of beating

is a popular superstition that money
is more difficult to make at Morris
Park than at either Of the other tracks.
But women are wen in evidence, and
as a rule they manage 10 make money
in their betting at the racetrack just
as cleverly as they manage to lose it
in Wall street.
They hedge a great deal and make
small bets and use no judgment what

in a great many cases than in being

about horses pedigree and condi-
