ALARMING PERFORMANCE
AT CITY EXCHANGE

Alderman James M. Dixon had
every one guessing at the City Ex-
change yesterday. Wherever Mr.. Dix
on appeared, what sounded like the
ring of an extra large alarm clock
could be heard
A gentleman started into the office
of the director of public works, while
the chairman of Council was there.
and as soon as the door was opened,
the ringing began.
What's all that about?" asked the
visitor
Come in and shut the door and l
VIII tell you" answered the alderman.
AS the door shut, the ringing ceased
Mr.. Dixon then explained. He has
patent burglar alarm, and he was
simply giving few illustrations of how
1t worked. The alarm is so small that
it is not noticed when attached to any
door or window. 1t is easily fixed on
any door that needs to be guarded and
Mr.. Dixon placed it on several doors
in various parts of the building with
out any one noticing it until the door
was disturbed.

ed Whittle EPSON Lithia Water. is

ducing it with the medical profession.

slant round of society pleasures. The
properties of the water are those of a

mode of action is through a gradual
elimination of accumulated tissue
waste, whereby an increased activity is
communicated to the whole glandular
system. The water is beneficial to
those affected with dyspepsia, consti-
patton, slight febrile attacks, a morbid
mental condition. associated with di-
gestive arrangement CRAWL malaria,
etc. The l'thia adds additional value
to this water"
The Whittle water is now on sale at
Knights, Solomons and Livingston

co Company. Numerous Savannah peo-
pie have already become enthusiastic
over this new water, and as the Whit
tie Springs Hotel just north of Knox
vile, Tenn, has entertained many Sa-
vannah summer tourists in the past
these latter are delighted to find the
water now on sale in this city. 1t is
an absolutely pure free stone water

WANTED TO SHOOT
CAPTAIN OF HIS SHIP
Is the Charge Against Man from
british Bark Golden Gate.

Is the Charge Against Man from
british Bark Golden Gate.
For disorderly conduct. being drunk,
and attempting to shoot the captain of
his ship. George Hind, so years of age,
was yesterday arrested and confined
at the police station. Hind is one Of
the sailors on the British bark Golden
Gate, which arrived in port more than
two weeks ago.
The vessel was out three months
from Chilli before it made port and the
sailors probably felt that they had
earned good drunk by reason of the
rough passage. 1t was only yester-
day, however, that Hind cut adrift
from the water tank and let himself
loose. When he did start, things
happened, and happened fast. He ac-
quired his drunk on board the bark,
or else returned to the ship to raise the
row that resulted in his arrest
According to the charges preferred
against him, he not only was drunk
and disorderly, but attempted to shoot
the captain of the boat. Capt. King, in
command of the Golden Gate, could not
be seen after the trouble, and Hind
had not sufficiently recovered from his
jag 70 give any very connected account
of the affair. Hind denies that he
attempted to shoot the captain, how
ever. He says the captain abused him
and he may have said that the cap
tain should have been shot, but he did
not try to do the job. He denies even
having a pistol in his possession.
Patrolman E. c. Tabb of the Ocean
Steamship Company force had to be
called aboard to take Hind in charge.
He was carried to the police station
and was soon slumbering, oblivious to
all rows. He will be given a hearing
before the Recorder this morning.

Adams"
Counsel must remember that Mr..
