MOVING PICTURES
AMUSED THE CROWDS.
Morning News Helped to Brighten
Gloom of Bulletins.

Morning News Helped to Brighten
Gloom of Bulletins.
Had it not been for the moving pic
lures which the Morning News threw
on the screen in the interim between
the flashing of the bulletins last night
there would not have been one little
thing to tighten the heavy gloom which
hung over the crowd standing before
the Morning News office waiting for
the election returns. The funny stu
ations and the humorous attitudes of
the pictured figures livened things up
and kept the laughter going.
The bulletin service furnished by the
Morning News was the best that has
yet been offered in Savannah. Bulle-
tins from the different states were re-
ceived rapidly, and Immediately after
they reached this office were flashed
upon the large screen by means of the
stereopticon. The indications of a Re-
publican landslide, shown by the early
bulletins, were confirmed by those re-
ceived later, and this cast a gloom
over the loyal Democrats gathered in
the hope of reading a Parker victory.
The moving pictures helped to take
away the sting of defeat. Pictures of
sleight- performers extricating
all manner of men from all manner
of places, pictures of men and women
innocently getting into all sorts of un-
usual predicaments, and performing all
kinds of tricks, furnished fun galore
and despite the depressing effect of the
bulletins, there was plenty of laughter,
merriment and consequent good feel
ing.

BUSINESS MEN THOUGHT
ROOSEVELT A WINNER.

Believed Markets Had Already Dis
counted the Event.
Interest on the Bay in regard to
the election was very pronounced, but
it took the form of curiosity as to ma
jorities and pluralities rather than as
to the ultimate outcome. 1t was gen.
orally believed Roosevelt would be
elected, though there were not wanting
a few persons who up to the time the
bulletins began to be posted believed
Parker had chance.
OF the election in the individual
states that in New York, of course,
excited the most interest and here
opinion was divided. The majority, it
is true, expressed a belief that it
would give Roosevelt a large major
ity, but there were still many who
believed Parker would carry the state.
Practically no one questioned that
Herrick would be made Governor.
Interest in the election was purely
personal, for persons best posted on
market and trade conditions are of
the opinion that Roosevelt's election
was confidently expected in the great
financial centers. and that it had been
already discounted in the dealings on
the various exchanges.

Solid Car Shipments.

The Kalola Company shipped yester-
day solid carload of ginger ale to
Sandersville.
This is the first carload of soda water
that ever went out of Savannah and
it attracted great deal of attention.
On both sides of the car a large ban
ner was posted bearing this inscrip-
ton:

This quantity comprised 100 casks OF
ten dozen bottles to the cask, in pints
and quarts, or $4,000 bottles.
This order was sold by Mr.. J. N.
Harrington.
The Kalola Company has doubled its
capacity, and is now operating an cleo
trio machine with one corking and two
crowning machines.
In the bottling plant alone fifteen
people are employed.
The ginger ale offered the public by
the Kalola Company is the superior
of most of the products sent out. Ii
is the intention to supplant all other
ales by introducing the Savannah ar
ticle throughout this section. Ply
sicians recommend the American Club
ginger ale as being smoother and less
acrid than the ordinary article sold
here. The company especially claims
for it non-alcoholic. non-constipating
The success with which the company
has operated its plant and it's rapid
growth encourage the management to
greater effort. and they hope TO ont
ship any similar concern of the coun-
try.

Ever Before This Season.

After playing to four large audi
ences here, the Gentry Bros dog
and pony show folded its tents and left
Savannah last night. leaving pleasant
memories behind in the minds of hun
dreds of young folks.
In making up the show to send on
the road this year the management
decided to introduce other features
than the mere exhibitions of the an
tics of dogs, monkeys, horses and ele-
plants. They have added the trio of
Japanese acrobats and slack wire per-
formers, comedy act of negro
riding a bucking mule, and a concert.
Through the entire country the
name of Gentry Bros. is synonymous
with all that is excellent in the train
ed animal line. The name is known
to every boy and girl in the country,
and they have kept up their high
standard of excellence to such a de-
gree that every one who goes to the
show feels full assurance that they
win see the best show of the kind in
the world.

RESULT OF ELECTION
TOOK AWAY INTEREST

So apparent was it from the very
early returns that the Republicans had
swept the field that very few people
turned out to watch bulletin boards
and listen to how each state went.
The fast counting machines used in
New York made it apparent early that
the Republicans had swept the state,
and with the loss of New York there
was no chance for Parker to win.
Results were taken at a dozen differ
ent places in the city, perhaps the
largest crowd who actually saw the
bulletins being at the carnival grounds.

fairs in the election in New York, Mr..

Il should not wonder that Tammany

hotel in New York. We had been run

from the boilers so he could make an

Il did not know what to do until
our engineer came to me and asked me
to give him $40 that he could settle
the matter all right for that amount.
l gave him the $40 and in a short time
the inspector came by the office and
told me it was all right: the boilers
were apparently in much better shape
than he had at first supposed. He was
TammanY appointee.
mot over two weeks later an eIeva-
tor INSPECTOR came into the office and
said he wanted to examine the eleva-
tors. Our engineer was called to ac-
company him on the inspection They
went up and down the shaft, and when
he returned to the office, he said a new
cable would have to be put in the ele-
vator. He said there were parts of

Il called the engineer aside and ask

came by the office and said: Let's
take another look at those cables
They did so and the inspector returned
to the office and told me they were all
right, that what he had at first thought
was, broken place in the cable was
merely the accumulation of grease and

of the dead boy was unavailing. 1t
was ascertained that he formerly play

he lived. A number of families hav-

seen, but none could tell who Frank
Davis was
Last summer Davis, Hayes and Rob-

the trio went to the Philippines to-
gether. They were fast friends and

In speaking of the life of the soldiers,
Robert Hayes said in his letter:
II hope 1 will be spared to come
back home again. Where I am going to
be sent they are always fighting.
Last week there was a fight between
scouts and the Moros. which resulted
in the death of "a Moros and five
