EMILY F. N0RTHAM WAS
BROUGHT INTO PORT.
Schooner Not as Badly Damaged as
at First Imagined.

The three-masted schooner Emily F.
Northam with flag of distress at half
mast was towed into port yesterday
morning and tied up at the foot of
a bercorn street to await the action Of
the owners in arranging for salvage.
The Northam was not as badly dam
aged as was at first supposed. The
fire, which was started by the crew
just before leaving the vessel, burned
some of the upper works and small
quantity of the lumber with which it
was loaded. In addition. the middle
mast was burned in two, but was held
in place by the rigging. The salvage
crew was afraid to climb aloft and
pun down the distress signal as the
middle mast was swaying from side to
side.
Capt. Avery of the Propeller Tow
Boat Company, who was in charge of
the tug William f. McCauley when
the schooner was taken in tow, said
he picked it up near Cape Romano,
about 125 miles from Savannah. Under
the old salvage laws he would have
been entitled to the vessel and con-
tents, as under that law anyone pick
dOned were entitled to claim them if
there was no living thing on board.
Even a dog or cat was sufficient to
prevent anyone claiming the vessel
Not a living thing was found on the
Northam. 1t had been abandoned and
set on fire.
The value of the boat and cargo in
its present condition is variOusly esti-
mated at between 100000 and $350O0
l. - t,g
salvage crew. The amount of sal
wage will be arranged by mutual con-
sent although in case of failure to
arrive at an amicable agreement the
court of admiralty can be appealed to
by either party.
Capt. Avery pumped the water from
the Northam during the day, and had
all the charred timber cleared away
The schooner will be kept at its pres
ent mornings until some word has been
received from the owners in Philadel-
phia.

ASTHMA MAY HAVE
CAUSED HURD'S SUICIDE
Man Was Suffering With That AT
lection When He Came south.

Man Was Suffering With That At
lection When He Came South.
The body of c. A. Hurd, who killed
himself by asphyxia ton at the W., c.
T. U. Home on Liberty street Satur-
day night, was shipped by express to
New York city last night. From New
York city it is thought the body will be
taken to Newburgh, n. Y. the home of
his wife, for interment.
The body was sent to the New York
and Brooklyn Casket Company, which
had been instructed by relatives to
take charge of the remains. No tele-
grams were received from the relatives
except the one given in yesterday s
Morning News. which asked that the
body be held until further instructions
We're sent.
1t has not been learned what Hurd
was doing in Savannah He was a
sufferer from asthma and the theory
has been advanced that he came South
to get employment in order to avoid
the severe Northern winters. This,
however, is mere conjecture. Without
money and away from his family and
friends. he became respondent, which
condition led him to end his life.
The following was sent out from
New York
Hurd, who was SO years old, had been
missing from his home since Sept, 3
On that day he went to New York
on business, taking with him a large
sum of money. SO far as is known
he transacted no business in New
York and was not seen there.
After waiting several days his wife
reported his disappearance to the po-
lice and a general alarm was sent out
but no trace of Hurd was discovered
He had suffered greatly from asthma
and it is supposed his mind became
affected

WILL PROTEST AGAINST
FREIGHT REDUCTION.
Meeting of Chamber of Commerce
VIII BE Called shortly.

Meeting of Chamber of Commerce
VIII he Called shortly.
Steps will be taken to-day for the
calling of a meeting of the Chamber of
Commerce to take some action relative
to the freight reduction schedules which
will go into effect for the benefit of At
lanta next Monday.
Second Vice President G. w. Tiede-
man, who is the highest official of the
Chamber of Commerce in the city at
present, stated that he intended to
take the matter up Immediately, and
with the assistance of Secretary Dom
Ian, send out notices for the meeting
The time is very short and prompt
measures will have to be taken. 1t is
possible that in conjunction with other
commercial bodies and the City COun-
ell that a committee win be appointed
TO present the matter from the stand
point of Savannah and the rest Of the
state, to the Railroad Commission.
That statement given in the Morn
ing News yesterday from Mr.. Jones,
Of the Atlanta Freight Bureau was Ger
tainly characteristic of that city" said
business man yesterday. He says
1T is true that Savannah cannot get
goods from Atlanta any cheaper than
heretofore and promises that this trOu-
bic will be reCtified.
Il have heard not word or syllable
of complaint in Savannah on this score.
The point of the affair seems to have
escaped Mr.. Jones. The trouble with
rs is that Atlanta has been given ad-
vantageous freight rates into territory
in which Savannah completes.
"The truth is that Atlanta is dead
anxious to get a line to the seaboard
and will move everything to that end.
If reduced rates could be secured only
on the direct line between Atlanta and
Savannah the highest object of Allan
ia would be achieved and the stir about
rates would end"

WILL RESUME DEEPER
WATER FIGHT SOON

Savannahs fight for deeper water
will be resumed later in the fall. Mayor
Myers stated yesterday that he
thought it a little early to begin the
crusade now. but that it would be
taken up a little later.
Mr.. Gamble, the Mayors secretary,
will send out literature to all the MEM
bers of Congress, and the aid of trade
bodies all over the country will be
enlisted. Mayor Myers is counting
very largely on the aid of Senator
Clay who visited Savannah on the oc-
casion of the City Hall corner stone
laying and promised his help.

Judge Paul Seabrooke, of the Allan

BOD Low is OeaQ.
He was a faithful old negro. being
the oldest employe in point of service,
and perhaps in age, with the city. He
had worked for the city continuously

was a brick layer and one of the best
the city ever had. He was liked and
respected by both whites and blacks.
He died yesterday morning at II
o'clock and during the remainder of
the day and last night. there were al
most as many white persons as there
were negroes to call at his home on
Jones street, west Low was free be-
fore the Civil War. but he went
through that struggle as a musician
with the Guards. After the war he
continued to play in the Guards band
for a number of years. He was 70 or 70
years of age.

BUILDING INSPECTOR SAYS
PERMIT WAS REGULAR.

Building Inspector Bartlett said yes
terday that the permit for the houses
which Mr.. Thomas II. Jordan is hav-
ing built on York street was issued
in the regular way and that SO far
as he was concerned the contractor
would not be interfered with.
1t was in regard to these houses. or
rather the stoops connected with them.
that some of the city officials have
had "a misunderstanding. Alderman
Davant notified the contractor that the
permit was not good. while Alderman
Dixon told him it was all right.

MAYOR SAYS REMOVE
whitaker ST. TRACKS.
Thinks 1t Very Desirable, But states
Council Can Do Nothing.

"I think the removal of the Whit
aker street car tracks would be very
desirable" said Mayor Myers yester-
day. when asked about the matter.
Council, however, can do nothing.
The plan to have the tracks re-
moved was considered some time ago
and l understand the street car COM
pany wanted Council to guarantee
that no other company would ever be
allowed to put tracks on the streets
The present Council could only bind
itself and not succeeding Councils.
However. I am satisfied If the tracks
were moved no Council would ever
allow them replaced. The company
can rest assured of that. The re-
moval of the tracks is. as l have said.
very desirable, but we can do nothing
about it,"

WE "HOMELY" WOMEN.
BY Cynthia Grey.

There is no use trying to make
believe that the fact that the pretty
women run off with the worlds hon
ors is not aggravating to us so-called
"homely" women 1t was so when
we were children. 1t was so when
we were in our teens. Then we felt
have grown up.
The pretty women draw even the
women away from us. We could
stand their taking the beaux though
that made us feel pretty bad when we
were II, but these pretty women are
reaching out everywhere and draw
ing hearts to themselves without an
apparent effort
They go into homes and cheer IA
ther they win mother, they charm
the sons and attract the daughters
OF the family. 1t is as natural for
admirers to surround these beautiful
women as it is for bees to hover over
flower.
And 1t is mighty hard for us home
ly women to stand by and see II
done. 1t is hard TO watch and feel
helpless.
But the secret of this success, this
attraction does not lie so much in
the beauty of the face as in the fact
that the woman who is pretty knows
that she can attract, and enters the
field confident Since we homely wo-
men were children we were sensi-
tive.
The pretty woman gives of herself.
We homely ones hold ourselves away
| from every one. We learned it in
childhood No one seeks us and we
are left out. We go to the dance,
friends rush up to the pretty wo-
men, and they, beaming on every
one, are happy and courted and pet
ted. We stand silent and unsought.
We feel that we have nothing to
give
! The only thing that we remember
is that every one looked glad to see
the pretty woman; we forget that
the pretty woman looked glad to see
every one.
If we homely women could only
forget the fact that we are so I'M
lovely and could really be glad to
see people and be glad to make them
feel that we are glad to see them,
our list of friends would surely in
crease.
The beautiful woman knows she is
charming, but she gives far more
than her pretty face. She gives her

times caused by the presence of in
digestable matter or unhealthy Sc
cretions, or morbid condition or
the membrane itself. However, if
these symptoms are present we are
justified in suspecting the presence
of worms, especially if the abdomen
swells and becomes hard and if the
child picks at its nose and feels
faint or ill. There is often a dry
cough accompanying worms accom-
panied by vomiting and arrangement
of the bowels In severe cases of
remittent fever a physician should
have charge of the case as the con
dition of the intestinal canal must
be improved by correcting the NOR
bid secretions which are poured in
to it.
To lessen irritation give Dovers
powders and the warm bath This
helps TO reduce the fever.
The treatment for worms must be
considered separately.

Worm Fever.

Dear Madam: My child, four
years of age. seems to have all the
symptoms of worms and ! have
treated him for that but he seems
very little better What can be the
cause? MRS B.
One of the most aggravating dis
eases of childhood is remittent
fever, often called worm fever, al
though worms are not always pres
ent. 1t seldom attacks children I'M
der one year of age, but is met with
from the end of the first year up to
the twelfth Not all of the symptoms
are present in every case The child
usually becomes paler, is fretful and
drowsy, often has headache and has
pains in stomach and bowels. He is
likely to be restless in his sleep,
grinding his teeth and swallowing
spasmodically, The appetite is fit
full and the tongue coated and the
breath offensive.
These attacks are accompanied by
fever, sometimes high. and there may
be a slight chill at the beginning Of
the attack The child usually has
three well marked spells" during
the "a hours, in the morning, in the
afternoon, and the third beginning
in the evening ad lasting until the
morning, followed by profuse per
SEPARATION.
These symptoms indicate an irri-
tated condition of the mucous mem
brane of the intestinal canal which
may be due to worms, but is some

Twas a Man Who Did II.

1t is claimed tht at last a hat pin
has been invented The so-called
hat pins are mere anchors that are
dragged off when the wind blows
and it is at that time that they are
needed.
This hat pin is said to be one that
will actually hold a hat on a wo-
mans head. 1t is made in such a
way that a sort of safety pin is
pinned inside the hat; through This
run three blunt prongs, resembling
hair pins. These prongs are run ir
through pins placed on each side of
the hat. They are fastened through
the hat by a pin with an ornamental
head, a pearl, a flower, or some sim
pie design.
The pins hold the hat securely, SO
it is said, and do not make unsightly
holes in either the braid or the hat
material.
A man invented this wonderful
affair.
