SEE THEIR DEAD SON.
Mr.. and Mrs. Phillip Menaige of st
CLAIR Reach Duluth.
From MONDAYS Daily.

Phillip Menaige and wife, parents of
the dead man, arrived yesterday from ST.
Claire, Mimi, in response to the announce
ment of their sons death. They said they
believed he had left funds or insurance in
some fraternity society, and they had
made no provision for the interment.
Menaige, according to statement of his
wife last night, belonged to the Long
shoremen's union and was in good stand
ing at the time of his death, but she
thinks that perhaps the society in this
city must have had no record of her hus-
bands membership.
Mrs. Menaige was with her husband at
st. Mary's hospital almost constantly
after the shooting. At an early hour
Thursday morning, realizing that the end
was near, the hospital authorities told
her, she says, that an operation would be
performed, and that it would be better
for her to retire.
81 stayed away until nearly three
o'clock in the afternoon" she said. ''Then
[ bought some oranges and flowers to
take up to him. [ took along Bible
and was going to read to him. reached
the hospital ten minutes after he died"
Mrs. Menaige said her home was at
Rib Falls, Wis, and that both her par
ents are living. Her maiden name was
Clara Buchholz. She was married to
Menaige April 2. She said he had been
bartender for thirteen years and work
ed at Gustafson's saloon on the Bowery
for eighteen months previous to taking
the place at the Northland saloon where
he met his death.
George Gerlich, the crippled boy who
was in the saloon when White opened
fire, is street merchant He came
here from Oklahoma several weeks ago,
and little is known of him. He peddles
lead pencils and shoestrings about the
Bowery. 1t is said that he will be
valuable witness for the state, and pre-
caution will be taken to keep him in
sight until after Whites trial.

ACTED SUSPICIOUSLY.
Stranger Who Hangs Around a Bank
Is Locked Up.

From Mondays Daily.
A stranger who was hanging around
the Mankato Savings bank Saturday
afternoon WAS taken to the city hall by
Officer Bienapf. The officer told him to
take the first train out of the city, and
he went to the Milwaukee yard and got
upon top of box car and lay down
fiat at one end in such a position that
he might have rolled off between the
cars as they were being switched The
police were notified and got him just in
time to save him from an accident. He
ran ON being seen and tried to crawl
down through the scuttle hole on the top
of refrigerator car. He was taken to
the city hall and locked up.
The man seemed to be of unsound
mind. He was of small stature, no
bigger than a fifteen year old boy, and
in his pockets he had one penny, some
shelled corn, and little tobacco. At
the bank he asked Cashier Davis if the
bank had plenty of money, but made no
demonstration and went out when adj
vised to, but continued to loaf around
the door and went in and out a couple
of times.
The man said he wanted to 90 to
South Dakota, and the officers kept him
over night, and allowed him to 90 YES
terday morning.

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful 1t Is
in Preserving Health and Beauty.

Nearly everybody knows that char
coal is the safest and most efficient
disinfectant and purifier in nature, but
few realize it's value when taken into
the human system for the same cleans
ing purpose.
Charcoal Is a remedy that the more
you take of it the better; it is not a
drug at all. but simply absorbs the
gases and impurities always present in
the stomach and intestines and car
ries them out of the system
Charcoal sweetens the breath after
smoking, drinking or after eating on
ions and other odorous vegetables. .
Charcoal effectually clears and i'm
proves the complexion it whitens the
teeth and further acts as a natural
and eminently safe cathartic.
1t absorbs the injurious gases which
collect in the stomach and bowels; it
disinfects the mouth and throat from
the poison of catarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal in one
form or another, but probably the best
charcoal and the most for the money
is in Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges; they
are composed of the finest powdered
Willow charcoal, and other harmless
antiseptics in tablet form or rather
in the form of large, pleasant tasting
lozenges. the charcoal being mixed
with honey.
The daily use of these lozenges will

tion of the general health. better com

possible harm can result from their
continued use, but on the contrary.

cENTRAL's CHANGES OF TRAINS.
New Schedule Will Prevail on Road
After Jan. 9.


The Central of Georgia Railway will
change schedules on Sunday, Jan. 8.
Some important changes will be made
in the departure of trains from Sa-
vannah, and a double daily service
will be established between Savannah
and Birmingham.
Train No. g. for Augusta, Macon, At
lanta, Columbus, Montgomery and
Birmingham will leave Savannah at
S45 p. M, instead of 800 p. M, rail-
road time, arrive Augusta 6:45 a. m,
arrive Macon 1925 a. M, arrive At
lanta 1885 a. M, arrive Columbus, 6: AS
a. M, arrive Birmingham 12:05 p. m.
This train carries sleepers for Au-
gusta, Macon, Atlanta, and Birming
ham.
Train No 1, that leaves Savannah at
700 a. M, railroad time, will, on and
after Sunday Jan. 8, make close con-
nection at Macon with Southwestern
division train No. /, for Columbus,
Montgomery and Birmingham, reach
ing Montgomery 1850 p. M, Birming
ham at 1915 p. M, the same day. This
train carries parlor car as far as Ma
con.
Train No. 5, for Dublin, Millen and
Augusta, will leave Savannah at 200
p. M, instead of 800 p. M, railroad
time.
There will be no change in the ar
rival of trains at Savannah.
The Chicago and Florida limited. a
solid vestibule train, steam heated and
electric lighted, composed of Pullman
drawing room sleeping cars. observa
ton and library cars, dining car, day
coach and baggage car, will be in
augurated between Chicago and ST. Au-
gustine on Jan. 8. This train will ALSO
carry a through sleeper between st.
Louis and st. Augustine. which will
be attached to it at Evansville. This
train runs over the Central of Georgia
Railway between Atlanta and Macon.
1t is the only solid train between Chi
cago and Florida. 1t connects at At
lanta with the through trains between
Savannah and Atlanta. Persons leav-
ing Savannah at 700 a. m, reach Chi
cago, in the Chicago and Florida
limited, at 4:30 p. M, the next day.
Since the Inauguration of this train,
few years ago, it has increased in
popularity exceedingly, and it is ex-
pected that the business this year will
far exceed that of any previous year,
and indications are there will be very
heavy traffic to Florida and the South
this winter
While this train runs through Jack
sonville and St. Augustine it affords
a very quick and convenient service,
in connection with the Central of
Georgia Railway trains, from the
Northwest to Savannah.

AUTOMATIC C0UPLERS
ARE IN USE HERE.

Federal Supreme Court Decision
Does Not Affect Savannah Roads.
None Of the Savannah railroads is
affected by the decision of the Su-
preme Court OF the United States,
handed down recently. holding that all
cars, including locomotives, should be
equipped with uniform automatic
couplers. All railroads entering the
city are now so equipped.
The judgment of the court, which
was delivered by Chief Justice Fuller,
contains three points of interest to all
railroad companies. These points have
Deen summarized by Secretary MoSely
of the Interstate Commission as fol-
lows:
First. That couplers on railroad
cars must be of such a character that
they will couple automatically and so
save employees from going between
cars, though absolutely uniformity is
not required.
Second. A car, though empty and
on a side track, may be engaged in
interstate commerce.
Third. That for the purposes of the
safety appliance law locomotives are
o'tS duu lIey are required TO De equip
ped with automatic couplers."
Locomotives include the tender. the
car with the coal and water being con-
sldered when the word locomotive is
dWelt upon. Dining cars in the de-
cision were said not to be exempt from
the requirements of the safety appli-
ance law when in use, though empty.
All lines entering Savannah have not
uniform safety appliances, but all are
provided with some variety of appli-
ance looking to the protection of their
employees. The decision affects COM
panies operating lines nearly of a pri-
vate nature, but which employ many
hands in operating the trains. 1t is
this sort of a company the laws inter-
probation will apply to.
