doing so. And there are at least

this country There are people now
locating upon lands, with a view to
their farming them, in districts
which are naturally unfit for any

the wetness Of the last few seasons

MEMORIAL WINDOWS IN
ST. JOHNS CATHEDRAL.
Edihce Is Now Complete and Among
the HandsOmest in the south.

Edifice Is Now Complete and Among
the HandsOmest in the South.
The last of the memorial windows
in the Cathedral of st. John the Bap-
fist have been placed in position dur
ing the last ten days. The four win
dows along the side aisles of the
church were finished yesterday and the
large rose window above the organ
in the front of the church is also
complete. One or two pieces of stat
uary have also been ordered and by
Christmas everything about the edifice
will be complete.
The four new windows which have
just been added to the Cathedral do
much towards increasing it's beauty
and it will now easily rank among the
finest church edifices in the South.
All of the windows along the aisles
are memorials. The windows are all
high works of art, the paintings be-
ing unusually beautiful All represent
scenes from either the life of Christ
or the Saints, and the expression of
the faces, the rich coloring of the
Oriental robes, and the delicate and
variegated shadings of the back
grounds, mutually aid in making the
windows masterpieces in their class.
The large rose window in the front
of the church is also a beautiful piece
of work. In this there is an unusual
variation of color groupings, and the
delicate and accurate standings make
it one of the handsomest in the church.

WILL TALK TO PUPILS
ABOUT 0BEYING LAW.
Teachers in Public Schools VIII
Give Children a Lecture.

Teachers in Public Schools Will
Give Children a Lecture.
In order to impress upon the chill
dren of Savannah the fact that it is
the purpose of the police to strictly
enforce the fireworks ordinance, Supt.
Ashmore of the public schools intends
to have the teachers Of the various
classes in the several schools, give
the children a short talk before the
adjournment for the holidays.
Supt. Ashmore saw Mayor Myers
yesterday and stated that he intended
to help the police. the retail mer-
chants and the children themselves to
this extent. He would have the teach
lance of Obeying the laws and respec-
ting the officers, he said, and would at
the same time have them understand
that they will certainly be arrested if
they do not obey the ordinances pas
sed by City Council.
The uniformed men have been in
structed to begin at once to enforce
the fireworks ordinance and now that
due warning has been given 1t is not
the intention of Recorder Myrick to
remit any fines that may be imposed
by him. The officers hope by ar
resting offenders who are found now
to make their work on Christmas Eve
night much easier. At the best they
expect to have a hard time of it, and
it seems likely that many arrests will
have to be made.

ASPHALT A PROBLEM
MAYOR THINKS CITY WILL HAVE
TO HAVE A PLANT.
RESURFACING STREETS
is NECESSARY WHEN THE BREAKS
BECOME GENERAL.

City Finds IL Difficult to Keep the
Asphalt Streets in Good Condition.
During Coming Year All of the
Streets VIII Be Repaired at
Cents "A square Yard-City Must Pay
$13,OO0 i'm May-DirectOr of Public
Works Thinks That When Streets
Begin to Break They Should BE
Resurfnced.
lust what is to be done by the city
with regard to keeping the asphalt
streets in condition is looked upon as
something of a problem by Mayor
Myers and members of Council.
In the opinion of the Mayor the city
and do it's own repairing or suffer as it
has in the past. The material. of
course. would have to be purchased
from the asphalt people.
1t is contended by some that it is not
feasible for a city to operate its own
asphalt plant; that it has been tried
and has, in every case, proven fail
ure. In the opinion of the director of
public works the only thing to be done
satisfactorily when asphalt pavements
begin to go, is to resurface them.
1t has been found that when the as
phalt streets begin to wear patching
does but little good. Almost before
a repairing force can get over the
street, breaks appear where the first
repair work has been done. On May
the city will owe about $4,000 for re-
pairing, and at that time all six of the
asphalt streets will have to be kept up
at cents a square yard.
Oglethorpe avenue came in under the
city's contract this year, and after May
Drayton street will be included. The
asphalt company agrees to keep the
streets repaired at cents a square
yard until May 1907, but after that
time the city will have to paddle its
own canoe, except in the case of Dray-
ton street In the case of this street
the city has the right to renew the con-
tract for five years longer.
1t is claimed that the asphalt com
pany loses money on it's Savannah con-
tract, and because it has not been ac-
tive in attending to the work of repair
ing the streets, the city is now holding
sc. 900 that should have been paid the
company last May. In the opinion OF
the director of public works the only
solution of the problem is to resurface
the streets that need it. Even with
out traffic asphalt dies and dlslnte-
CRATES, says the director.

HYMAN CASE CERTIORARIED
TO SUPERIOR COURT.

The contest for homestead made
by Annie Hyman in the Ordinarys
Court some time ago, in which a ca
veat was filed by certain creditors,
was certioraried to the Superior Court
yesterday morning and a hearing will
be given on the first Monday in
March.
The case is one of the most interest
ing that has come before the attention
of the court in some time, and the
points of law at issue have never been
decided on by the Supreme Court. The
Hyman woman applied for a home
stead on certain household furniture
and an insurance policy on which ap-
praisers had awarded her an amount
of money. A caveat was filed by GER
tain creditors who claimed that as the
property was to be used for immoral
purposes that a homestead should be
denied. Also as the beneficiary named
in the homestead was not a resident
of this state that a homestead should
be refused.
Judge McAlpin refused the home
stead on the grounds last mentioned
stating that he doubted his right to
enter into the discussion of how the
property was to be used hereafter.

SCOTCH AND IRISH DRINK
EACH OTHERS HEALTHS.
Hibernian and st. Andrews Societies
Held n Social Session.

N
The Irishmen and the Scotchmen
drank each others health at the Hus-
sars' Club last night.
The Hibernian Society and the st.
Andrews Society have the same room
in the Hussars' building. 1t happened
that the meeting night of the two so
cieties came together, and to deter
mine which should occupy the room,
the officers of each drew straws for
choice of meeting in the society room,
or in the Hussars' drill room. The
Scotchmen won. and chose their reg
ular meeting room. while the Irishmen
met in the armory.
After the ST. Andrews Society had
adjourned, Irish whisky was put along
side the Scotch and the Hibernians
were invited to become the Scotch
mems guests. The invitation was ac-
cepted, and as President Meldrim en-
tered the room at the head of the Hi
bernians, he was welcomed by Presi-
dent Train of the ST. Andrews Society.
Col. Meldrim retired. leaving Col. j.
F. Brooks vice president of the Hi
bernians. to do the honors.
The health of the presidents of the
two societies was drunk, then the
health of the societies. and after that
various other healths. Speeches were
made, songs were sung, stories were
told, and an hour was spent as Scotch
men and Irishmen best know how.

Players with Tips Photographed
Money TO other Cities.
There was nothing doing at the
recently started pool room yesterday
and those who had straight tips on
what the ponies were going to do at
New Orleans. had to make tracks for
the telegraph offices and send their
bets in this way.
Quite a number of those who put up
a dollar or two on the horses were
rather unhappy when they learned that
the turf exchange had closed its doors
almost before 1t had opened. They re-
GREETED it most, because those who had
been playing had been winning, and the
bookmakers are said to have dropped
q snug sum of money during the two
or three days that they were operat-
ing.
The players We're in no danger of ar
rest and when they want to try the
good things" at New Orleans. they
will work the wires themselves and tel
egraph money TO bookies in other
places. But the pool room was a con-
venience to them, and the announce
ment that it had been forced out of
business was by no means pleasant
news, particularly at a stage of the
game when things were running
against the bookies.
