How the Chinese Reat Time

A Chinese child is considered a year
old at its birth, and its age is reck-
oned not from its birthdays, but from
its New Years days. If it is FORUM
ate enough to be born on Feb. /, the
day before the Chinese New Years
day, it is said to be two years old
when it is two days old. 1t is one
year old when born, and another year
is added on its first New Years day.

PREPARATIONS FOR
MANASSAS MANEUVERS.
Camp No. 1 Ready for Troops Which
VIII Arrive This Week.

Preparations for the maneuvers at
Manassas are being made under the
direction of Capt. Adelbert Cronkite
of the Artillery Corps. With $50 men
working under him he has nearly COM
pleted the arrangements for Camp
No. l.
There are about $50 troops in camp
at the present time. which number
will be greatly augmented this week
by the arrival of regulars. In the
fields contiguous to the camps water
pipes have been laid in considerable
numbers to supply fresh water from
twelve artesian wells. Each regimental
camp has been provided with three
bath tents, with six shower baths each.
Twenty-Five side tracks have been
laid TO Manassas by the Southern
Railway. and it is believed that the
troops can be handled with dispatch
as they arrive. Trains carrying sup
plies and blank cartridges have already
begun to come in.
1t is stated that the citizens gem
orally are aiding in the preparations
and that while some damage will be
done to their property they know that
they will receive pay from the govern
ment.
Problem No. 1, to be fought on Sept.
s and I. will be that of a Blue army
based on the Potomac river marching
against Brown army operating in
the Shenandoah valley towards Wash
ington.
Problem No. 2 will be on Sept. s and
g. in which Blue army assemblies at
Washington and prepares to move
against a Brown army which is oper-
ating from the Shenandoah valley
against the capital.
The Savannah troops will move next
Saturday.

BUSY TIME FOR THE CITY.

ing WOrk-There Are Several
Streets That Have Been Passed for
Paving This Year Yet to Be Taken
Up.
Work on the Gwinnett street subway
will be started this week. Under the
contract with the Savannah Lumber
Company. which is to build the sub
way, work can be started on Thursday.
The company has announced it's in
tention of beginning on this day, as the
contract time for finishing the subway
is short. 1t must be completed by the
first of the year.
The Savannah Electric Company has
almost completed it's tracks on Atlantic
avenue, which are to be used while
the subway is being built. After next
Wednesday or Thursday no cars will
pass over the Gwinnett street crossing.
Mr.. George M. Gadsden, the director
of public works, who will supervise the
construction of the subway for the
city, will return to-day from the North
where he has been spending a three
weeks vacation. While Mr.. Gadsden
was away the interests of the city in
connection with the subway were look

Howard. Mr.. Gadsden will now take the
matter up again, through Mr.. Howard,
who made all the drawings for the
subway will probably frequently be
called upon for assistance.
Every portion of the work will be
closely watched by Mr.. Gadsden, to see
that it is up to the standard OF the con-
tract. The supervision of this work
will probably take great deal of the
directors time, and there will be other
work started by the city soon that will
also keep him busy.
Paving is to be resumed very shortly.
1t would probably be started this week,
if it were not for the subway. Hall
street will be the first street to be
paved. Until Mr.. Gadsden arrives, the
exact date for beginning the work will
not be known.
Besides Hall street, State, Farm and
River streets are to be paved. Few if
any more streets will be paved this
year. The aldermen are already begin
ming to figure on the streets that
should be paved next year, however.
If, when the present work that has
been passed is finished there are any
funds on hand from the paving APP
preparation another street may be pas
sed this year, but it is thought practi-
cally all of the money will have been
used.

ASKED STRANGER QUESTION
AND WERE ARRESTED.
Two Young Men from wayeross

Two Young Men from WaycrOss
Taken in Charge by the Police.
Two young men from Waycross were
arrested by Patrolman T. ]. Griffin
yesterday afternoon and charged with
cursing on the street, though the ar
rest was caused by a report being
made to the officer that the men were
seeking a house with two young girls
to which the children should not have
been carried. No charge was made in
regard to the girls, and the men will
be tried before the Recorder this morn
ing simply for being disorderly and
cursing.
All the parties interested in the case
came to the city from Waycross yes
terday morning on an excursion. one
of the men bought the tickets for three
sisters, two of the girls being not over
IA years of age. The third sister is a
woman. The three were accompanied
by their brother.
The party missed one of the Tybee
trains and We're waiting at the depot
for another, when the two men ar
| rested suggested to the two younger
girls that they go have their pictures
taken. The four went away together.
The girls state they could not find d
picture gallery, and We're on the way
back to the depot when the men were
arrested. Both of the girls say the men
lad neither done or said anything i'm
proper.
The arrest was caused by L. Sable.
He stated to the officer that one of the
men asked him where he could find q
place that he knew the girls should
not be taken to and the officer arrested
the men to remove all possibility of
the girls being carried to such
place.
One of the men had the tickets of
the three sisters and they had no
money to get home on. Their brother
was also without sufficient money to
buy the tickets. After investigating
the case, the superintendent of police
turned the tickets over to the sisters.
and allowed them to go home, after
taking their names and addresses.

had been reported to the police as sus-

learned after several hours work Sat
urday night that he had been following
a pair of postoffice inspectors who have
been here at work on a case for some
time. The inspectors had been watch
ing certain locality for several days
and had done so in a manner to at
tract attention.
There were several parties to report
the matter to the police. Saturday a
telephone message was sent to police
headquarters by the owner of a store
in the vicinity that the men were there
again and had been there for several
hours. Detective Bostick was sent

IS ENTIRELY SATISFAC
TORY TO COL. ESTILL.
Action of the state Democratic EX-
ccutive Committee.


The action of the State Democratic
Executive Committee at its meeting
in Atlanta Saturday, by which he was
declared ineligible as a Democratic
clector was no surprise to Col. j. H.
Estill. In fact he had rather expect
ed it, He said yesterday that he
and Chairman Yeomans had exchang-
ed several letters on the question
whether he was disqualified by
reason of his membership of the
Board of Public Education of the
city Of Savannah and county of Chat
ham," and had sent Mr.. Yeomans
copies of the several laws under which
the Board of Education was incOrpor-
ated.
1t was Mr.. Yeomans opinion, as
we'll as Col. Estills and also that of
several others. that membership in the
Board of Education did not disquali-
fy him as a presidential elector but
it was thought for the best interests
OF the Democratic party and the sue
cess of the candidacy of Judge Parker
to take no risks.
Col. EstilI said he never considered
the question of resigning from the
Board of Education, of which he has
been a member for many years, for
the temporary honor of being a pres
idential elector. He therefore wrote
Mr.. Yeomans, leaving the matter in
mis- hands. with the request that he
do what he thought best.
Hon. Geo. =. Monroe, of Buena
VISTA who was chosen elector in
his place Col. Estill said, is one of the
foremost citizens of his section of
the state lie is an able lawyer. and
ran next to Col Estill in the contest
for elector in the State Convention.
1t may not be out of place. Col.
Estfl said to mention that in the ball
lotting for presidential electors in the
convention the solid vote of Richmond,
Fulton, Muscogee and Bibb counties,
which include the cities of Augusta, At
lanta, Columbus and Macon. We're ap-
parently cast against him, though Sa-
vannah's delegation, while it gave Col
Estill solid vote, divided honors with
those cities for their nominees for
delegates to the National Convention
and presidential electors. The politi-
clans who belong to the office holding
ring could probably explain this.
Col. Estill said that his candidacy, for
presidential elector for the state-at-
large, was not mentioned until the
morning of the convention and he
received in spite OF the heavy vote cast
by the delegations from the counties
mentioned, the second highest vote
cast among the five candidates.

night by Tom Hamilton, a negro, that
a Yan!acraw storekeeper had met him
on the street, struck him in the face
with a pistol and then made him pull
off his coat and hat and give them to
him. The accused was not arrested
last night, the matter not being re-

place. A case was docketed, however,
and he will be served with a subpoena
TO appear in Police Court. The negro
said he owed the man some money.

THIEF MADE CHILD
TAKE BACK GOODS.
Owner Caught Girl and Held Her
Until She Told Name of Thief.


Until She Told Name of Thief.
Fearing she would be caught, Re-
becca Davis, a negro woman who had
stolen a blanket from the house of
neighbor on Randolph street yesterday
morning, sent the blanket back by
child in the afternoon with instructions
to slip it into the house so the owner
might find it and give up her search
for the thief. Olivia Roberts, the
woman from whom the blanket had
been stolen, caught the child slipping
the blanket under a piece of furniture
and grabbed her.
The child, Lucinda Jackson, after be-
ing held for some time and threatened
with a whipping, admitted that the Da-
Wis woman had sent her with the
blanket to slip it back into the house.
Olivia then released the child and call
ed a patrolman who arrested the DaA
Wis woman. Before being arrested,
however, Rebecca made an effort to
whip the child for telling on her.
After the woman reached police
headquarters, Detective Bostick exam
ined the Witness and the prisoner and
decided the child was telling the truth
The woman denies having stolen the
blanket and says she knows nothing
about where the child got it. The
owner however, had learned from
some of her neighbors, after she missed
the blanket, that the Davis woman had
been in her house. Several of them had
seen her go in and one of them stated
she saw something under .Rebecca's
apron as she was leaving. The pris-
oner will be given in hearing before the
Recorder this morning.
