MAYOR APPROVES CARD
PLEADING FOR POOR.
But Says City Cannot Now Establish
Poor House.


IA Poor House.
That the present facilities for caring
for the poor of the city are inadequate.
Mayor Myers is convinced.
The Mayor said so yesterday in dis
cussing the card published in the
Morning News, calling attention to the
presence of beggars on the streets, and
the need of establishing n poor house.
He favors building a poor house as
soon as possible, but states that the
city is not now in financial condition to
do so.
At the earliest possible date that the
city can afford it, the Mayor favors es-
tablishing jointly with the county a
home for the poor. Mayor Myers first
brought up the poor house subject and
recommended to Council in his annual
report two years ago that the matter
be taken up with the County Com
nissioners with view to arranging
for such an institution.
This year he again made the same
recommendation and appointed a com
mittee to confer with the county Of
tcials. one conference was held, but
no decision was reached. The city is
not now in a position to proceed with
the matter, the Mayor says, owing to
the many improvements that have been
undertaken for this year.

ALDERMAN DIXON NOT
NOTIFIED OF MEETING.
Has Plan to Get Even with Alder
men on Speedway Matter.

men on Speedway Matter.
Alderman James NJ. Dixon, chairman
of the Finance Committee of Council,
to which was referred the Chamber of
Commerce communication relative to
the proposed speedway, says he knew
nothing of the meeting of the speed
way committee from the county and
the Chamber of Commerce yesterday
afternoon until it was over.
This is the second time a meeting
has been called and the city was with
out representation. The matter was
referred TO the Finance Committee
only Wednesday night and Alderman
Dixon says he would have called his
committee together to meet with the
other committees had he known of the
conference.
Alderman Dixon did not think the
matter should have been referred to
his committee, as he believed it was
done in a spirit of levity, with view
to sidetracking the matter. He is now
considering getting even with the al
dermen who suggested that the mat
ter be given to his committee by rec
ommending large appropriation.
He said he was inclined to recon-
mend that $4,000 be donated. Alder
man Grayson, who made the motion to
refer the matter to Mr.. Dixons COM
mittee, when told of this said he would
vote for such an appropriation, if AL
derman Dixon would recommend ii.

ARGUING CASE OF
PROPERTY HOLDERS
Case Against the City Will BE Re-
sumed This Morning.

sumed This Morning.
The case of the jefferson street prop
erty holders against the city was ar
gued yesterday IN he Superior Court
The case has bee 80 often before the
courts that comparatively little general
interest attaches to it, and besides the
counsel employed, and the officials of
the court, no one was in the court room
during the latter part of the afternoon.
The case arose from the paving of
Jefferson street. The city first laid a
shell paving and later this was change
to block paving. When the property
holders on the street were asked to pay
their share of the cost of the secon
paving they objected and sought their
remedy through the courts. A total of
forty-six cases were brought. But one
case is to be argued. the decision in
this governing the others.
Col. William Garrard appeared for
the city and Mr.. J. R. Saussy for the
plaintiffs. Legal points are being ar
gued, there being no testimony intro
duced. The principal point raised by
Mr.. Saussy was that the act under
which the city passed it's ordinance was
illegal, in that it provided for no no
tice to the property holders Of the in
tention to pave, ana of the kind of paw
/ ing to be used.
Case after case was cited by oppos
ing counsel. Col. Garrard contended
that notice had been given, even if the
act did not provide for it, and that the
ordinance had been held up for a time
to give the property holders hearing
before Council. Mr. Saussy then took
up the argument again. and went into
the proceedings of the Council at the
time the paving was laid.

At last the troubles of the dredges
Rough Rider and John Babcock, own
ed by the Empire Dredging Company
of West Virginia, have been ended.
An order for their sale was handed
down yesterday morning by Judge
Emory Speer, and Deputy Marshal
Doyle announces the sale elsewhere in
the Morning News. OF the proceeds
of the sale, $3.50 are to be retained
to satisfy the libels against the boats.
With the clerk of the United States
courts in Savannah three more in
tervening libels were filed during the
day. Jacob Paulsen and others, adj
ministrators, settled down on the
boats for $SS9.S1. This libel had
scarcely been filed when James Nc
Grath filed one for $21.59. The clerk
was still marking the date of filing
on the libel when r. E. Brieswick
appeared and filed a libel for $30O.96.
few moments later the order for
sale arrived from Macon.
The troubles of the two dredges
have increased at a rapid rate. The
first libel was filed by a New York
firm seeking to secure payment for
pumps The next day other firms
began filing intervening libels for sup
plies, furnishings. etc, and similar Ii
bells have been coming in almost daily.

shals, Ito thoroughly paper them
Both the dredges are fine boats and
have been we'll fitted out. They will
be sold at public sale in ten days

HOW TO GET RICH.
Lesson 8. Chapter L.


Those who ride on the A. and B.
street cars south of Thirty-first street
doubtless notice that there are several
tracts of vacant land, and a number
of odd lots not built upon, and those
who do not know the facts probably
think those vacant properties are evil
dence of a surplusage of real estate in
Savannah. Each of those almost va
cant blocks between Bull and Barnard
streets has a house on it, but there will
be no other houses built on them as
the owners have taken the property off
front would easily sell on an average
of $1,000 a piece; but not a lot can be
bought because the holders are of the
opinion that real estate is a good in
vestment, and its increase in value
from year to year pays better interest
than any .investment they can make
Nearly all the odd lots you see are held
by parties who expect to build homes
for themselves upon them as soon as
they finish paying for the real estate.
Those who are advised as to the real
estate market know that there are no
cheap lots where people of moderate
means formerly looked for them. Those
$500 to $500 lots that were to be had
in and around the localities mentioned
two to five years since have gone for
ever. If you want cheap lots you must
go elsewhere, and if you don't hurry
and get your lots, there is no saying
how far you will have to go to get a
cheap lot. Your opportunity is now
invest in a 5000 to $500 lot somewhere.
You can get them at these prices on
Thirty-ninth street, east, and pay for
them by the month. If Thirty-ninth
street, east, doesn't suit your ideas,
buy a lot on some other street.-ad.

City Marshal Dreeson, during the

kept busy hauling away the stands.

SAVE THE FEATHERS.
When Properly Treated They Are OF
Value Commercially as Well rs
for Home Use.

. On majority of farms there is a
waste of feathers. The main point is to
sterilize the feathers, as they contain
blood. This can be done with very warm,
dry air, exposing the feathers for a week
in warm room. 1t is more convenient
to boil them, then dry. Feathers should
be saved not only from ducks and geese,
but also from chickens and turkeys.
Provide two large bags-one for feathers
from geese and ducks and one for feath-
ers from turkeys and chickens.
When enough feathers have been col
lected to make pillow or cushion cut
the shape out of bed-ticking and stitch
closely all around the edges, with the
exception of a small opening at the top,
which is left for the insertion of the
feathers. Before filing turn the bag or
case inside out, and rub what is now
the right or outside Of the bag with
common bar soap; then put in the feath-
ers, tie up the opening in the bag, place
it with its contents in close boiler and
boil for few minutes, moving it about
with stick and lifting 1t up and down.
Finally take it out, drain. squeeze out the
water and hang up in light, airy place
to dry. In few days the feathers will
be light and fluffy and free from any ur-
pleasant odor, as the boiling eliminates
the oil and blood. Keep the feathers
loose when drying to prevent sticking
