ing what disposition was to be made
of the property after her brothers.
death.
The trustees of the Wesley Monu-
mental Church were bequeathed $500
and other amounts were left to rela-
tives. The will was drawn in March,
1894, and amended a year later. The
amounts named in the will were all
paid by DIR. Mayer, except the sum of
$1,000, which was bequeathed to Mary

the will so as to annul the bsQueaths
which had been paid by DR.. Mayer
during his life time.

ed to Annie E. Mayer and Richard
Henry Mayer during their life time,
and after their death it is to divert to
Annie Maud Mayer wife of Henry

The ridges, it is said, are caused by
the failure to roll the pavement. The

be desired, but it is all in ridges, so

MAYOR ISSUES
FINAL APPEAL
FOR GEORGIA BUILDING.
ALMOST ENTIRE AMOUNT PLEDGED
BY SAVANNAH is GIVEN.

MIR. Myers Wants SHvannnhians to
Give the Full Amount Subscribed
as Soon as POssible-The Georgia
Building Project Has Been En-
dangered by the SIOwness with
which Funds Have Been Raised.
Believed That the Full Amount
VIII BE Completed To-day.
If sufficient funds are not raised in
the state for the erection of a Geor-
gia building at the ST. Louis EXPOSE
ton. it will not be because Savannah
fails to do her share.
No active steps had been taken here
for several weeks until yesterday when
Mayor Myers renewed his efforts in
behalf of the Georgia building. Now
$3.50 of the $1,000 pledged here, has been
raised. The Mayor expects to raise the
remaining $3.50 to-day.
The subscriptions to the Georgia
building have been coming in slowly
for weeks, and it looked for some time
as if the amount needed could not be
raised. Gov. Terrell and Commission
er Dudley M. Hughes have recently
had several conferences about the mat
ter.
Ready to Let Contract.
The contract for the building is to
be let within d few days, and unless
the money is subscribed soon, the plan
will fall through. The people of the
state have been appealed to in behalf
of the building. When the Mayor
learned of the serious condition of the
situation, he determined that Savan-
nah should not be behind with the
amount that she had pledged.
Mayor Myers sent Mr.. Thomas Gam
BILE, Jr., his secretary, to see num-
Der of prominent naval stores firms
and quite a sum was readily given.
Mr. Gamble will continue his calls
upon other business interests, and 1t
is thought the entire amount will be
subscribed before the day is over.
When the special st. Louis commits
sioner and party visited savannah sew
erai months ago, $1,000 was pledged
here for the Georgia building. Since
then Mr.. Myers has been So busy that
he has been unable to give the matter
any time. He is now trying to COM
plete this amount within the next day,
Savannah to aid in the movement.
Difficult to Get Money.
Georgia by all means should have
a building" said the Mayor, in speak
ing of the matter. 1T has been with
great difficulty that funds have been
raised. There is some danger of the
project falling through unless all sec
tons of the state join in the move
ment. l do not want Savannah to be
behind any other city in helping in
the matter. When Mr.. Hughes was
here we told him what we would do.
l hope to see this amount raised at
once, and believe that it will be. From
the short canvass that has been made
am very confident. l believe the
state will have the building, for / think
all communities are going to do their
best, now that it is realized the time
is so short l want Savannah, though,
to be in the lead, and 1 think she will
be, from the way money is now being
subscribed"
Following are the amounts so far

1t is the failure of inventors to construct
motor that would lift more than it's
own weight which has made navigation Of
the air impossible in any other way than
with the aid Of balloons or aerial In
flations on the balloon order. But the mo-
tor just perfected by Mr.. Hoffman has
been shown in actual working. tests to be
capable of. lifting more than four times it's
own weight. 1t has the capacity Of eight
horse power compressed within it's light
bulk or weight Of ITO pounds. This
achievement, according to Eoffman's
claim, Is nearly twice as good a record as
the best that the great wizard Edison has
been able to do in the construction of high

to haul him aloft in an aerial chariot.
The German is training his eagles and
geese to act both as motive power and as
ballasts for the s'bal1oon- chariot ii,
which he has already announced that he
is ready to compete in aerial races with
such experts as Sontos-Dumont and the
Lebaudy brothers. It is his plan to equip
the lower rigging Of his airship with a
framework of perches upon which his
eagles or geese will rest, each attached tic
the balloon by light leashes. When he
wishes to throw off ballast the eagles OF
geese take wing and when he wishes for
weight by which to descend or remain al
a level, the birds alight at a signal Mean
while the powerful birds are ready at g
word to fly upward or downward or ir
any direction, supplying both the motive
power and the steering apparatus which
Dumont and Lebaudy seek to gain by
mechanism.
