SAW TWO PRESIDENTS
SHOT DOWN BY ANARCHISTS
Experience of DR.. W. M Gould, IS Years Old, Now
in Savannah

years DIR. Gould was United States
consul at Leith, Scotland. In the
early days of San Francisco he built
the first drug store ever opened there.
For seven years he was an official in
the New York Custom House. His
first vote was cast for William Henry
Harrison during the famous "Tippe-
canoe" campaign.
En- route to New York, DR.. Gould
expects to take in the st. Louis Ex-
position. He has attended the London
Exposition, the two Paris expositions,
the Chicago Exposition and the Buff
falo Exposition.
Talked of Panama Canal.
Some time was spent by DR.. Gould
on the Isthmus of Panama and he has
studied the situation there somewhat
closely, Il doubt if the government
can build the Papana canal" said DR..
Gould. in discussing the subject with
a representative of the Morning News.
THE Chagres river will, 1 think, prove
an insurmountable barrier Then the
place is most unhealthful. I was sick
at Panama a whole month myself with
the fever.
1.-The Nicaragua canal route is much
more feasible, it seems to ne, and
would save nearly thousand miles be-
tween New York and San Francisco, as
compared with the other way. Sena-
tor Mason was about right in his
contentious"
When asked how he retained his
strength to such an advanced age, DR..
Gould replied that he neither drank
nor smoked and was most temperate
in all of his habits. He expects to en-
joy number of years more of life be-
fore old age knocks him out. Dr. Gould
will remain in Savannah several days.

To have stood at the side of the two
martyred Presidents when they We're
shot down has been the lot of perhaps
no man other than DR.. w. NJ. Gould,
who is in Savannah, guest of the De
Soto.
When President Mckinley was shot
by Czolgosz at Buffalo DIR. Gould was
and was not over 100 feet away when
the fatal bullet was fired. He saw the
wounded President borne away as if
dead, and at the time thought that
death had been instantaneous.
Nearly twenty years before DR.. Gould
was in Washington city near the Bal
timore and Ohio Railroad depot when
Guiteau fired at President GARFIELD,
laying low the first of the martyred
Presidents.
DR.. Gould is IS years old but car
ries his age well, and his eyesight and
hearing are perfect He has the full
use of his body. but complained yes
terday that his favorite pastime, BIZ
cycle riding, was becoming a little too
strenuous for his age, though he occa-
sionally enjoyed a spin.
Has Been in Havana.
For the last five months DR.. Gould
has been in Havana and is now on
his way to his home in New York.
Twelve years ago he stopped in Sa-
vannah with his wife, who has since

been opened. He commented on the
remarkable growth of the city.

upon examination Darwin pronounced
to be a "humbug."
Away back in the early forties
shortly after I had finished my ap-
premiership at the printing business,
and was sticking type in the office of
the old Savannah Georgian, edited by
the late William H. Bulloch, there came
TO Savannah a German professor by
the name of Harper. What the pro-
lessor did not know about the "olo-
gies" was not worth knowing He
could tell you all about the bugs, the
birds, worms, snakes, frogs and the
Indian and shell mounds of Liberty
county. He made frequent visits to
Liberty and other neighboring coun-
ties, and wrote long descriptions of his
discoveries which were published from
time to time in the Georgian. It was
during Prof. Harper's stay in Savan-
nah that l heard the story told on
him similar to that told of Darwin
which is the more ancient, do not
know. The bug had been gotten up
by some joker and submitted to the
inspection Of the professor, who was
asked If he could place 1t. He looked
at the specimen for a moment and re-
Piled 1T is a bug; 1t is a coc,-~lvacn:
no, 1t Is not a cocke-oacn; It is a

NEW TRIAL WAS GRANTED
In Case Brought by Woman Who
Presented Torn Ticket.

In Case Brought by Woman Who
Presented Torn Ticket.
A new trial has been granted in the
case of Mary Young against the Cen
trail of Georgia Railway Company by
the Supreme Court. The case was
first heard in the City Court. The cir
eumstances of the case are about as
follows:
The plaintiff started on a Central
train for a point in the interior of the
state. The ticket she presented to the
conductor was torn and he refused to
accept it for passag e At Pooler, be-
cause the woman refused to pay, he
put her off the train and she walked
back to Savannah. Suit was then
brought against the railroad company
and a verdict rendered in favor of the
defendant.
A motion for a new trial was at once
made by the plaintiffs attorney, but
after hearing the argument, Judge
Norwood refused to grant a rehearing
The case was then carried to the Su-
preme Court, with the result given
above.
Remitturs from the Supreme Court
have arrived in the case of NJ. A. Con-
molly against the Atlantic Contra citing
Company and others. The decision Of
Judge Norwood is affirmed as to the
part of Greene and Gaynor, but re-
versed as to the other defendants.
The case of Reppard, Snedeker e. Co.
against d. ]. Morrison was affirmed
The case of Abraham Jackson
against the Merchants and Miners
transportation Company was affirmed
Remitturs in other cases appealed
from the City Court to the Supreme
Court are expected to arrive to-day.

IS DOING ALL THE
GOOD IT CAN.
Salvation Army Work Hampered BY
Lack of Means.

salvation Army Work Hampered BY
Lack of Means.
Editor Morning News: In answer to
the communication in your-paper sign
ed Humanity" wish to say that the
Salvation Army throughout the world
has places to help these degraded,
helpless people of whom Humanity"
wrote. The army has tried to do all
it can in this city. We have now a free
reading room and cheap restaurant
We also want to have in connection
with it shelter for men. People are
being helped every day and appeals
are made continually by men, women
and children. Everything possible, ev-
erything within the limit of our very
slender resources, is done for the re-
lief of the poor.
There may be much money spent in
savannah for charity, but we fail to
see sufficient means to justify us in
continuing with our work However,
we work against great odds for the
sake of what we believe will come in
the future. If the public would stand
by the Salvation Army great good
could be done along these lines. We
are giving away all and more than we
can afford.
My heart is often sad because so lit
tie, comparatively speaking, is accom-
plished. But with hands practically
tied, because of a lack of funds, what
more can be done than to labor and
pray and wait?
g We appeal repeatedly to those who
are fully able to help in our work.
but are met with refusals and a sur
prising lack of interest. Not even old
books and magazines are furnished for
our library or reading room.
Daily, five or six people are supplied
with food and given the shelter of our
hall. AS Humanity" says, I'VE need
place in this city to help the de-
graded up" Our duties are just that
but we need support to spread the
work. God knows our hearts are earn
est, but the public gives everywhere
else except to the ones who really do
the Masters work as He taught broth
erly love. True charity receives but lit
tie aid. All we do must be done with
what little we receive in our street COL
lections and what a few kind-hearted
friends give us. God bless them all.
It's time the public awakens and does
something. Respectfully,
Capt. Paul Werner
Salvation Army.

WARM WELCOME
FOR VETERANS
PROMISED BY NASHVILLE.

All Confederate Organizations of
Nashville Working in Harmony
With Business Organizations to
Make Entertainment as Nearly
FauItIeSs as POssibIe-Oner Made
to Feed and Lodge Those in Need
of Such Assistance, without
Charge.
OF more than usual interest to Con-
federate veterans, and, in fact, to all
Confederate organizations, is the an
nouncement that has been sent out
from Nashville by the committees that
have in charge arrangements for the
Confederate Veterans Reunion, to be
held there, June 14-16. The following
is the announcement:
THE camps of Veterans, the Sons of
Veterans, and the three chapters of the
Daughters of the Confederacy are work.
ing in harmony with the business or
CARNATIONS of Nashville to furnish an
entertainment as nearly faultless as
possible.
1.-The fact that these conventions had
become SO expensive to cities enter
tanning so deferred action that it was
left for Nashville to become host again
sooner than was expected. But the
capital of the Volunteer State, aided
by adjacent communities, is ready.
All of the people are in hearty accord,
and arrangements are such that this
invitation, to Confederate Veterans
everywhere, is extended without mis-
giving in any particular Arrange
ments are far better than ever before
for veterans to meet in their old com
mands-on the campus of the Wander
bilt University.

RAIN IS BADLY
NEEDED BY TREES
IN THE PARKS AND SQUARES.
PARK AND TREE COMMISSIONS
FIGHT AGAINST DROUGHT.

a Is With Difficulty That Plants Are
BeinE Kept Alive and Even the
Grass and Trees Are Showing Eff
fects of the Long, Dry SpeII-Ar-
tesinn Water Is Being Applied as
often as POssibIe-Tree Nursery Is
Also Suffering.
The Park and Tree Commission is
praying for rain and at the same tiine
is watering the plants that have been
put out in the parks and squares.
Even the grass has suffered from the
long drought. During the last several
years the parks and squares of the city
have at no time suffered so for rain.
Even the trees in some instances are
dying at their tops for lack of water.
In Colonial Park no less than three or
four trees may be seen whose tops are
drying up. And these are all old trees.
With the younger. ones it is in some
cases even worse.
New Plants Suffering.
Practically all the summer plants
have been put out by the commission.
They have grown very little since the
dry spell mas beer on, and it is with
difficulty that many of them are being
kept alive.
They are watered with the artesian
water. but it is said that this water
does not have the same effect as rain.
There is some property in the rain wa
ter that water from the artesian wells
does not possess. With the artesian
water alone the plants will keep alive
but they grow very little, and some of
them not at all, and the area is too
large to permit frequent waterings.
The grass in the squares this year
has been cut only once, though usually
it requires two cuttings before this
time of the year. Until there is rain,
it will be let alone. as the hot sun would
kill it should it be cut at PRESENT.
The City's Tree Nursery.
The tree nursery established this
year is doing nicely, though the trees
are now suffering for lack of water.
There has been about 5000 trees put
out at the nursery this year. A num-
Der of these have already been trans
planted in the city, but most of them
will be kept at the nursery for year
or more before they are removed.
Within a few years the supply from
the nursery will be sufficient to put
shade trees on every street in the city,
and along many of the county roads.
The city and the county established
the nursery jointly, though it is en-
tirely under the control of the Park
and Tree Commission. The trees raised
are to be used both in the city and
along the county roads.

The accident occurred on Tybee road.
the horse having strayed from the field
in which it was pastured and on to the
tracks of the company. It was shown
by the defendant that he had paid $145
in cash for the animal. The freight
charges from Atlanta to Savannah
were S., bringing the actual cost to
$3.50. In view of these facts, the YER
diet returned was for $3.50, the Jury
seeing no reason why the extra $50
should be attached to the horse.
