Among the Chinese of Astoria is a
man who was at Fort Sumter when
the first shot OF the civil war was Ar
ed; who was a union volunteer at the
battle of Balls Bluff, where the gallant
Colonel Baker of Oregon, was killed;
who was personally acquainted with
General Grant. and was member OF
Grants army when General Lee sur
rendered the remnant of his famous
host; who saw active service during
the entire war from 1862 to 1865, and

was born in CantonR. said Zip He
numbered among his friends an Irish
man named Flanagan. and l think
he is merely anxious to, count him
self among the Irish born because of |
his love for Flanagan"
At all events, Peau was born in
1S41. In 1854 he came to America,
going first to San Francisco. After a
short stay at the Bay city he sailed
around the Horn for New York AMI
attended school there. He had early
adopted American customs, and in New
York did not live in Chinatown. When
vacation time came he went south and
chanced to be visiting Fort Sum
ter when the confederates attacked
the place. The incident served to make
Peau stanch union man, so, when
Lincoln called for $4,000 volunteers, he
enlisted. He was then 21 years of age.
His first battle was Bull Run. He car
ried a musket, just like any other SOL ,
dier. and did quite as much shooting =

"The confederates had too many
men for us and whipped hell out OF I
us" Peau explained. O
After the volunteers were mustered t
out Peau re-enlisted, this time with a t
of Ohio infantry, and during |,
the remainder of the war served In the
army. He was only trivially wounded.
At the close of the war, in 1865,
Peau came to the coast by way of the
isthmus, and arrived in Astoria that
year on the steamer John L. Stevens
He says there were only one or two
of white people here then,
but he distinctly remembers seeing
Indian wigwams along the shore OF the
river. Trees hid the town from sight, :.
and it could not be seen from the
river. Peau lived at Astoria for about
q month, and then went to Portland,
after which he continued his tour to
Lewiston, Idaho. where he met his
friend, John Flanagan. A great and
lasting friendship sprung up between
the Irishman and the Chinaman, and .
they went into the mercantile business.

HOW TO GET RICH.


Heretofore mems" doings have been
the text for these lessons. The lords
of creation" however, have no monop-
oily in thrift. Women are as thrifty and
economical as men, if not more so.
They are kept in the background, as it
were. because, as a rule, they don't
know how to make a start in the bus
mess race.
The estate. however, that stands first
in amount on the city and county tax
lists, if report is correct, represents the
thrift of a woman, who was left COM
paratively poor in her young widow
hood. Dying she left a rent roll worth
$4,000 a year!
There are several similar estates, but
of lesser note that are women's work,
as it were, that are the main support
of quite number of families living in
this city and elsewhere. These es-
tates represent the accumulations of a
number of economical and thrifty
women. And let it be said just here
that those business minded danes liv-
ed to a good old age, and working out
the problem How to Get Rich?" took
no years from their lives, and MAX
ing money did not impair their facul-
ties.
Within twenty years a widow, who
is still comedy to look upon, through
judicious real estate investments,
many of which were made through
loan associations, has gathered a for
tune that is estimated at 100000.
But who can number the lesser for
tunes made by the women of Savan-
nah?
Then there is another class of wom-
en- whose numbers are thousands,
among the living and tens of thou
sands among the dead, who own. or
owned, the homestead that shelters
the family. They bought the lot and
saved the money that built the home;
without their frugality the money
that did this would have been spent in
luXuries or frivolities.
There are women who have bought
lots on Thirty-ninth street, east, and
elsewhere, who will have their reward
in the comforts of old age in this life,
and a crown of glory in the life to
come for their good work in providing
the home that keeps or kept the little
family from straying away in that
nihility, II nothing worse, which is the
fate of the homeless.-ad.

RECEPTION AT WESLEY CHURCH.
The Sunday-SchOOI Room Was Pref
tiIy Decorated.

In the Sunday-school room of Wes-
ley Monumental Church last night an
informal reception was held by Miss
Virginia Garner, who leaves soon for
missionary duty in Japan. The room
was well filed with members of Wes-
ley Church and of the other Methodist
churches as we'll.
The Sunday-school room has been
very prettily decorated by a special
committee. Palms and other potted
plants had been arranged in tasteful
groups at appropriate places. From
pillar to pillar stretched long festoons
of smilaX and these were hung with
japanese lanterns. Miss Garner oc-
cupied place near one of the pillars,
attended by the Reception Committee,
and here she held an informal recep-
ton.
There was no attempt made
to hold any regular exercises
Several VOLUNTEERED to sing and
others to render musical selec-
tons. Everything was done en-
tirely spontaneously and this made the
evening all the more enjoyable. To-
ward the close of the reception, re-
freshments, consisting of ice cream and
cake, were served.

Filed in Superior Court Yesterday.
The Owners of the Property Be
sides the President Were the
Messrs and Miss BuIIoch-ROOse-
welt n Part Owner of Property on
President street.
With the clerk of the Superior Court
yesterday a deed conveying certain
Savannah property to Anna Brown of
Connecticut was filed.
The deed is of more than usual in
terest owing to the fact that attach
ed to it is the signature of Theodore
Roosevelt, President of the United
States. The signature of the chief exc
cutive is attested by a notary public
of Washington, D. C.
The land conveyed is a strip of land
lying along Center street. Center
street is described in the deed as a
strip of roadway running thirty feet
wide, from the Ogeechee road to Bull
loch street" The acreage of the land
conveyed is not stated. Besides the
President, the parties conveying the
land to Anna Brown are Emma H
Bulloch, Robert H. Bulloch, and j. G
Bulloch.
The consideration which the Presi-
dent received for the Center street
property is $3.50. He also owns an in
terest in the property on the north side
of President street, between Drayton
and Abercorn streets, next to the apart
ment building being erected at the cor
ner of President. State and Abercorr
straets.
President Roosevelt has always claim
ed an interest in the South but there
are probably few people who are ia
miliar with his real estate interests in
Savannah.

TUGALOO WILL BEGIN
SNAG WORK IN RIVER.
VIII start for Point in River Near
Augusta.

Augusta.
Under the direction of the United
States Engineers for this district, the
snag boat Tugaloo will start this morn
ing for a point in the Savannah river
near Augusta.
The channel there has been consider
ably blocked by snags and it has been
decided by the department to clear the
channel 1t is not known how long the
boat will be engaged in the work.
Other work in the same line would be
undertaken by the department were it
not for the fact that there is no money
at hand to carry it out. The failure of
Congress to report a river and harbor
bill is responsible for the lack of money.
What little money is still on hand must
be used, for the most part, for the pur-
pose of keeping the work already ac-
complished in good condition.
Col. James B. Quinn, division chief of
United States engineers, and in active
charge of the Savannah district, is not
in the city. Col. Quinn is in New Or
leans, weeks leave of absence having
been granted him by the chief of the
Engineers Department. During his
visit to New Orleans he will attend the
commencement exercises of Tulane
University, in which institution his son
has just completed his sophomore year.

UNCLE SAM WON'T PAY
FOR STREET PAVING.
A Special Resolution VIII Have TO
BE Passed in Congress.


It's up TO Congress to make a special
appropriation for street paving in Sa-
vannah.
The United States government will
not do anything towards the paving
of the streets around the postofice I'M
less Congress makes an appropriation
for that purpose.
Mayor Myers has been informed by
the Washington authorities that there
is no appropriation that could be used
for street paving. The officials in
Washington are lawfully sorry" but
it will be necessary for Congress to
provide the funds.
The matter will have to be taken
up with that body and Col Lester has
been asked to look out for the ques-
ton for the city. Whitaker street has
already been paved and the govern
ment has been presented with a bill
representing its proportionate share. 1t
will not be paid, however, unless Con-
gress itself SO orders. York and Pres
ident streets are unpaved, and the city
is anxious to give these streets the at
tention they demand. If Congress will
do the right thing both streets will be
paved at once. If Uncle Sam does not
help the streets will probably remain
unpaved.

Exercises May Take Place While
Georgia Mayors Are Here.
Mayor Myers desires to have the cor
ner stone of the new City Hall laid
while the Georgia League of Municipal
tiles is in session here in August.
If it can be arranged so that the
building will be far enough advanced
by then, this will be done, and the cor
ner stone will be laid on Aug. 10. There
seems no reason why the work should
not be sufficiently advanced to permit
this being done
If the entire building is not then with
a level with Bay street. where ii is de-
sired to place the corner stone the on
corner where the stone is to be nut
could be rushed.
Mr.. Myers will bring the matter 10
the attention of the aldermen wednes-

pointed to arrange a programme for
the exercises.
