WORKING HARD
To SAVE PLANTS
EXTRA FORCE REQUIRED.
PARK AND TREE COMMISSION MEN
WORKING OVERTIME.

II Is Thought Extra Men Will Have
to BE Employed, as Regular Men
Are Almost Worn Out-Have Been
working Eighteen Hours Out OF
Twenty-four for Last Ten Days.
Almost All of the Energy of Force
Is Now Directed to Watering
Plants.
1t is a fight for life that the Park
and Tree Commission is waging now
a fight to keep alive the trees, shrub
berry and flowers that make Savannah
one of the foremost cities of the coun-
try in point of beauty.
1t is hard fight, but the commits
sioners are determined not to give up.
and every day that the plants are kept
alive is a victory, for the rain is sure
to come some time and the commits
sioners think it will come soon now.
I'VE have been confidently expecting
a rain for the last three days" said
one of the Park and Tree Commission
men yesterday. I'VE have been disap-
pointed, but it can't go without rain
ing much longer now. 1t is sure to
rain by Wednesday, and with hard
work we can keep the plants alive I'M

Men Almost Worn Out.
The large territory that the commits
sion has TO look after makes the WI
tering Of the plants a task of enormous
proportions. AL of the employees of
the commission have been working
eighteen hours cut of every twenty
four during tina last week or ten days
and the putting on of extra men, until
rain comes, is now being considered.
The regular men are almost worn out
from the extra work that has been
necessary. The commission is giving
all of them extra compensation and
they have stood the hard work Won
derfully well. but the limit has almost
been reached.
There is other work. too, that the
commission has to keep I'D. REGARDLESS
of the dry weather. though almost the
entire energy of the force has been
directed towards watering the flowers
end plants. Most of this work is done
at night, as it then benefits the flow
eTs more than during the day.
Fighting the Insects, Too.
Though it is with difficulty that the
plants are being kept alive, a watch
mas 10 De kept Tor insects, just as care
fully as if there was no drought on. The
trees and plants are all sprayed. Some
few new plants have been put out also,
though not very much of this work has
been done for several weeks.
Not only the delicate flowers and
plants. but the grass, shrubbery and
trees are all suffering severely from
the long dry spell. With one good rain
the plants that now are dropping with
a sickly, yellowsh look will again pre-
sent the smiling appearance that has
made the beauty of Savannah famous
And the commissioners are determined
to keep them alive until the rain comes,
no matter what the effort may cost.

of the many persons who would re-
main for a time in these cities en-
route to and from the fair.
II is stated that If an ordinance
were in effect in Savannah protecting
the railroads from inroads on it's in
come through the work of ticket brok-
ers the railway companies would be
much mere ready 10 withdraw the
many harassing restrictions now
placed on excursion tickets, and that
stop-overs could probably be obtained
much more readily than at present
on excursion tickets passing through
Savannah.
II is believed. too. that the railroads
would be the more willing to grant
special rates when called on TO DO so
when they are assured of protection
against brokers. An ordinance giving
the desired protection could now be
passed in Savannah without injury to
anyone inasmuch as the only broker

disposition to reduce wages, content
ing themselves with pairing down the
number of men employed in order to
bring operating expenses within linn
its. Should business contractions con-
tlnue, however, il is only a question of
time when the knife will be applied to
10 the wage schedules. Workingnen
everywhere dread this and the great
army of them are in no sympathy with
agitation looking 10 readjustment of
pay or hours. The labor leaders who
have been fomenting and engineering
the strike on the New York. New Ha-
ven and Hartford lines find cold SYM
pathy in the rank and file of the indus
trial army. There are tens of thousands
or men ready to take places which
may be vacated, and the mana cement
OF the road early received every assur-
ance that It need only TO stand pat to
break the back of any strike which
may be organized TO tie up its traffic.
This is a poor time for workingmen in
any field Of labor to engage in strikes
BY so doing they only invite trouble
and hasten the day when they may
have to choose between lower pay or
no work.
Gould's Horror of Dirty Money.
Wall street is shedding tears of emo
tional sympathy with George Gould
over his expressed horror of dirty
money. In a recent interview with

SENATOR CARMACK
OF TENNESSEE
The Man who Was Endorsed by His
state for Vice President


Senator Edward ". carnack, of Ten
nessee, who was Endorsed by the Demo-
cratic Convention of that state for the
second place on the national ticket,
has in recent years risen to a very
prominent place in his party. His first
wide introduction TO the public was
as editor Of the Nashville American,
and later as editor Of the Memphis
Commercial-Appesl.
After serving two terms In Congress,
he was elected to succeed Thomas B.
Turley as United States Senator.
In his career as a national politician,
Senator Carmack has spread his fame
more thoroughly in his native state
At present he is the leading Democrat
in Tennessee, and of her favorite sons
easily the most forward, hence his
complimentary Endorsement was not a
surprise. AS an orator, he ranks among
the leaders of his party and has made
himself especially solid in his own and
in other Southern states by his ex-
pressions both in and out of the Senate
regarding President Roosevelt's deal
ings with the negroes. Whenever this
subject is preached. his voice has al
ways been for war"
Whether as a speaker or a writer,
Senator Carmack has impressed his in
dividuaiity upon his party in Tonnes
see, as well as in more extended field.
He is a favorite speaker on all occa-
sions in his native state and his opin-
ions are held in great respect. The
color Of his hair is red and when he gets
warmed up to his subject il seems to
glow with a greater luster. He has
an easy presence and as he stands be-
fore an audience he commands their
Undivided attention by his manner as
well as by his words Personally, he
is an agreeable gentleman, his news

Of the nisdeeds OF others and giving

FORGOT THEIR TRANSFERS.

1t was the hour when all Savannah
ians are going to dinner and the A.
& B. belt car was crowded
As the car approached Gwinnett
street, the conductor was signalled to
stop. There were four gentlemen in
the bunch that wanted to get off. AS
the car slowed down one after another
of them a4ighted.
Hey, wait "a minute" shouted a big,
fat man, whose every feature bespoke
the jolly fellow. The. men all stopped
and turned around while the conduc-
tor Of the car waited with his hand
on the bell cord.
You forgot to get your transfers"
said the fat party, pointing TO the old
fiat car standing on the tracks that
caused the trouble.

ABSENCE OF BROKERS
MAKE RAILROADS FREE.
To Give Many Concessions That
Otherwise Are Denied.


Otherwise Are Denied.
On account of the anti-scalping or
dinance recently passed by Atlanta
the railways reaching that city have,
upon request of the business men of
Atlanta. granted number Of conces-
sions to that CITY.
One of the chief of these so far is
the stop-over privileges on tickets TO
the St Louis exposition. Holders OF
these tickets may stop in Atlanta both
going and returning for a period of
ten days each way. Several other large
cities have asked the railroads for
similar privileges. but these have been
denied until anti-scalping ordinances
shall be passed.
The question now is. said gentle
man discussing the matter recently.
whether these cities will, for the gem
eral interests of their citizens. pass
such an ordinance. which will at most
affect the interest Of only one or two
firms. or by protecting the brokers
cause the remainder of the business
interests to lose the trade that would
accrue to all lines through the visits

one of the eminently respectable direc-
tors of the Western Union Mr. Gould
is quoted as saying in effect that he
would rather throw into the river the
entire income of the Western Union
than to permit the company to stand
in with crooked people and derive rev.
enue from the partnership. The position
taken by Mr.. Gould is clearly set forth
in an interview by Mr.. Jacob H. Schiff,
a fellow director and active head of
the banking house of Kuhn, Loeb &
Co. Mr. Gould's father, the lanented
Jay Gould, was conspicuous also for
his detestation of money that could
not show pure pedigree. His desper-
ate struggles to keep clear of soiled
money was conducted through a long
series of years and form the most in

pleasant development of the times.
The transportation companies have
been cutting down their pay rolls for
several months, but the grand aggre-
gate Of reduction is only just appear
ing. The laying off of $4,000 men cuts
an important figure in the labor mar
ket. It means a saving TO the rail-
roads of about $50, 900, 900 a year in the
matter of wages alone, and on the other
hand it means $50, 600 900 less money
for the public TO spend and a curtdil-
ment in the volume of general BUSH
ness throughout the country due to
that one cause. No reliable estimates
are yet ohtainable as to the labor re-
duction which has taken place in the
manufacturing lines, but it is consid-
cradle. probably more than the cut by
the railroads.
Cut in Wages Looked for.
The railroads have thus far shown no

Coal Trust Is shivering.

There is real danger that the anthra-
cite coal trust will be subjected to the
inconvenience of defending itself in
government suits against charges of
violation OF the federal antitrust laws.
The coal trust is the most fragrant Of
fender in this line now in existence. 1t
is monopoly of the most extreme type
and admittedly controls both the pro-
duction and the price of hard coal In
the United States. The trust has been
in existence 50 long. however, and its
policy has become so firmly fixed that
even though the courts might dissolve
it. that policy would be still likely to
control under cover of a community of
interest understanding. The present
outlook is that the anthracite coal
trust will be made a campaign issue
whether Attorney General Knox pro-
ceeds formally against it or not.
Wall street is trying to measure the
price effect on the coal roads securi
ties of the revived agitation. There IS
no agreement on this point, but the
majority opinion seems to be that prop
erty values will not be appreeiably i'm
paired. ard that earnings will con-
tinue to be satisfactory.

pankers Are pi.appointed.

Bankers are more or less disappoint-
ed over the failure to establish and
maintain high rates for call money.
The expectation of more than $50, 000,-
900 in gold during the last six or seven
weeks served only to temporarily har-
den the money market. Money con-
tinues to flow in from the West in
great food. The surplus of the rich
agricultural regions of the Mississippi
Valley and the Southwest finds its
way to New York and the Eastern
money centers. Manifestly 1t cannot
remain entirely idle. hence, there is
competition among holders in the loan
market Solvent borrowers are be-
seiged with offerings and there is more
money on tap in Wall street than has
been the case for many years. This
would be an altogether favorable synp-
tom were it not for the fact that the
funds so piled up indicate an inability
to give them profitable employment in
fields of enterprise.

ing invested in dividend end interest

Pennsy's Presidency.

Pennsy's Presidency.
Talk is again rife of the retirement
of Mr.. Cassatt from the presidency of
Pennsylvania. Report credits Mt. Nc
Crea with heirship. The publication OF
an official order greatly charging Mrs
McCreas duties and giving him para
mount power in many ways heretofore
exercised exclusively by Mr.. Cassatt
is taken as confirmation of the rumors
of changes. Mr.. Cassatt has not been
in the best of health for some time
past, and inasmueh as his company is
entering upon a new era of vast i'm
provements and extensions, il is quite
within reason to assume that these
changes are with his entire consent and
approval. On several recent occasions
the president CT the Pennsylvania has
shown that he dominated the situation,
and those who are banking on his en-
forced retirement may be making a Sc
iious mistake. Mr.. McCrea is. be-
yond a doubt. in line of succession, but
there is small likelihood that his supe-
rior will be Obliged to make way for
him.
Mr.. Cassatt has been part and par
eel of the Pennsylvania Railroad for
many, many years, and identified with
the most glorious period in the up
building of the system. NOW the first
in the world. The owners of the road
appreciate his efforts and recognize his
remarkable ability and force. Men like
him are not crowded out" at the be-
hest Of any dissatisfied faction or to
silence the discomfort of rivals.

his dislike of tainted dollars.
Horse-Race People Cynical.
Wicked horse race people are full of
scorn over the display of virtue made
at their expense by Western Union Of
Metals. They say that the company
will not lose $50 by breaking loose
from the pool rooms, and that the real
cause of the disruption is the failure on
the part Of the telegraph company 10
mold monopoly of the racing news
business.
According to these wretched people
of the race track and pool rooms the
Western Union attempted to drive ev-
erybody else out of the business before
discovering how sinful ii was. It
would appear that the pool room peo-
pie had news distributing ma chinery
of their own, and were making the
lions share of the money, instead of
the Western Union. Be that as it may,
it is safe to assume that the big tele-
graph company will not go into bank
ruptcy by reason of its dissassociation
with the gambling element.
Postal-Cable May Jump in.
In this connection it is said that ne
gotiations are under way with the Pos
tai Telegraph Company for the utiliza-
ton of the wires Of that corporation
for the collection and distribution OF
racing intelligence. Heretofore all that
sort of thing has been done with the
assistance and cooperation of the
Western Union, the Postal making no
attempt whatever TO secure any of IL.
The Postal, it is said, will not require
a certificate of character from those
sending messages over its lines.
A feeble attempt was made in the
stock market to raid Western Union
in connection with the furore over race
track matters, but slight Roadway was
made. This is one of the non active
stocks and very few of the certificates
are af1oat. Consequently, traders can
easily sell themselves into a hole and
subject themselves to the danger Of an
ugly twist. The company has been a
steady dividend payer for many years,
and its shares are widely distributed
among small holders. There are, more
than 10000 Western Union stockhold-
ers.
