Political conventionSt says WhiSkerS,

car wheels half a cent pound cheaper dan

ter dan he should be, and is likely to be
great deal woise'
Right you arer' says Whiskers, looking
as pleased as Punch. Let us take car

carry passengers, merry picknickers, happy

Whiskers stopped to flag me dat his fizz

There you wrong me, Gerard. But I say
no more. Pray heaven no harm come of 1t.
1t was my duty to urge this counsel, but
knew you would not so act" And Pascal
smiled.
'To our plans. then. Another messenger
must be found to ride to Cambria with all
haste possible and carry this message to
my cousin. In it l have urged him to bring

To Clean Dirty Bills.

From the Philadelphia Record.
One of the telers of prominent savings
bank was discussing some pecularities OF
his business. I'VE get money over the
counter in every imaginable condition.
Most of the time notes are handed to US
in a dirty, crumpled state that makes diff
ficult handling, but there is one depositor
who always brings bills in an immaculate
condition. This is an old German woman.
The bank notes she hands in are as crisp
as If they had just left the treasury. 1t
used to puzzle me to account for the crisp
ness of the old notes she brought along
notes that by appearance had been in use
long enough to make them as limp rags.
So one day / remarked about 1t. and found
to my surprise that the old woman care
fully ironed all her bank notes. / thought
her fad somewhat foolish at first, but
later 1t occurred to me that IL would be
a good thing If people everywhere ironed
their bank notes. 1t would kill any
germs"

ii, l have this plan: Let Dubois or your
self choose some likely place in the city to
which our fellows can be brought, so that
a, need should trouble come, we can make
a stand"
That Is more to my liking said Pascal,
gleefully.
"And lastly for yourself. Pascal. Don't
return here. but don once more your monk S
gown and when the task 1 have given you
is completed, go to the castle and keep
your eyes open. There, if anywhere, trou-
BILE may be looked for, and your ready wit
will be most needed"
you will at least let me be near you,
said Pascal earnestly.
''I know your zeal and friendship too well
to hesitate to send for you at the first
touch of danger. But l look for none OF
any serious character. And now" he broke
off. rising at is time for this visit to the
castle l must find Mademoiselle de Malin-

COUNCIL MAY CONSIDER
WIDENING TWO STREETS
Thirty-fifth and Thirty-seventh viii
Probably Be Taken Up.

Thirty-fifth and Thirty-seventh Will
Probably Be Taken Up.
The Strengthening and widening of
Thirty-fifth street, between Bull and
Barnard, and the widening of Thirty
seventh street through Waters road,
may both be taken up by Council this
week
The Thirty-fifth street matter, about
which Council is very much divided,
was postponed at the last meeting be-
cause of the absence from the city of
Mayor Myers and several of the alder
men. Alderman Thomas, chairman of
the Committee on Opening Streets,
says if the officials are back in time
for the meeting Wednesday that the
Thirty-f1fth street case will be brought
up, but otherwise not.
The widening of Thirty-seventh
street has been considered for some
time, though definite agreement has
not yet been reached with property
owners. 1t may be finished in time
for this weeks meeting, or may have
to go over until another meeting. The
widening of both of these streets will
involve considerable expense.
There is strong opposition on the part
of some of the aldermen to the pur-
chase of the land necessary for the
proposed changes in Thirty-fifth street
and there is likely to be a spirited con-
test whenever the matter comes up.

HAS RETURNED FROM
1000 MILE TRIP
solicitor General w. W. Osborne
Back in Savannah.

Solicitor General w. w. Osborne
Back in Savannah.
Solicitor General w. w. Osborne. aft
er a trip of several weeks through the
West, during which time he visited the
st. Louis Exposition and Yellowstone
Park, returned to Savannah yesterday
morning. Mr.. Osborne says he had a
fine time and appears to have been
greatly benefited by his vacation.
At the Worlds Fair he noticed the
fact that Savannah had no literature
at the Georgia exhibit, while Atlanta.
Rome and other towns were handing
out pamphlets at a rapid rate. Savan-
nah has furnished the best part of the
exhibit, Mr., Osborne thinks. yet other
places in the state are reaping the
benefits. He says Savannah should
get its literature there as soon as pos
sible. The booklet which Mr.. Thomas
Gamble, Jr., has prepared will be
ready in a very short time and about
$4,000 copies will be immediately for
warded to the fair.
Mr.. Osborne covered a distance of
L00O miles during his entire trip. He
is especially enthusiastic over the
wonders and beauties of the National
Park, where he spent five days. He
also visited Pixies Peak and numerous
other places of interest in the West.
The West he says is apparently
prosperous. At st. Paul he was pres
ent on the opening day of the state
fair and 10000 people visited the
grounds. The farmers all appeared to
be men of intelligence, who were keep
ing abreast with the times. An exhib-
it of gasolene engines showing all the
various uses for which they are adapt
ed, attracted the farmers especially,
Mr. Osborne says, showing that they
are progressive. These engines are
now used in the West for blowing.
running threshing machines and al
most every kind of work imaginable.
AS there is no coal in the country, the
gasolene engines have found great ia
vor and the farmers are rapidly put
ting them to all kinds of use
Though greatly impressed with the
West and many of the Western cities,
he says this section and Savannah are
good enough for him. Savannah, he
thinks, can be made the garden spot
of the country.

PLACED IN
ATTORNEYS HANDS
Trouble Between ship Company and
Railroad Not Yet Settled.

Trouble Between ship Company and
Railroad Not Yet Settled.
The trouble between the agents Of
the North and South Steamship Com
pany and of the Central of Georgia,
relative to the latter's refusal to per-
NIT the Santurce to load naval stores
at its wharf is still unsettled. The
naval stores that the Santurce desired
to load from the Central's wharf were
yesterday lightered to the dock of the
ship and loaded in that way.
Mr.. Murray NJ. Stewart, who is the
representative of the North and South
Steamship Company in this city, said
that nothing further had been done in
the matter of settling whether the San
turce had a, right to dock at the Cen
trails wharf. or whether the Central
had right to charge just double for
llghterlng freight to his ship, but that
the entire matter has been placed in
the hands of Osborne & Lawrence, and
VIII be taken up and settled in a legal
way.
There is one thing that l will say,
however" Mr.. Stewart stated, land
that is that we intend to protect our
patrons and see that they are not sub
Jected to determinations in the price
of handling their shipments when such
shipments are made by our line"
Mr.. Stewart said further that the
trouble with the railroad had delayed
the sailing of the Santurce a day or a
day and half. but that he expected
1t would be able to get away with a
full cargo by tonight, that a part, if
not the whole of the delay may be made
up on the trip north and that the ship
will return Immediately for another
cargo.
The cargo of this, the second trip, will
consist of practically the same freight
as that of the first trip, lumber, naval
stores and cotton.

SAVANNAH TO THE GOLDEN GATE
The Savannah Knights TempIars' Trip to the

However, the wild sage and thistle COW
cred deserts through which one travels,
doubtless ere another century elapses
will be green with cultivated crops and
thrifty with millions of people. The
work of making these arid regions hab-
liable is not in the future. 1t has al
ready begun.
Under an act of Congress passed in
1902 the proceeds of the sale of public
lands in California, Arizona, Nevada,
Colorado, and in fact all the far West
ern states and territories, are
applied to the construction of irrigating
works for the reclamation of the I'M
watered regions. These lands are sub
ject to homestead rights, but title can
not be acquired until all payments for
irrigation or water privileges ha e beer
paid. This amount is said to be Sit
to $40 an acre.
When one thinks of the we'll water
ed and timbered lands in Georgia and
other Southern States upon which can
be grown cotton and sugar cane,
fruits and vegetables of all kinds and
which can be bought for one-tenth to
one-fifth this amount, it is surprising
that those who are seeking homes and
farms do not come South. A well or
ganized system for promoting immi-
grafton, backed up by the cooperation
| of sawmill men, turpentine men and
others who own or control millions of
acres of unimproved land which pro-
duces nothing, and with the help of
the railroads of Georgia, under the
direction of an experienced, non-polit-
zeal immigration agent, would in time
turn southwark a part of the millions
of homeseekers who, in the next fifty
years, will be seeking land.
The streets and hotels and homes of
San Francisco are alive with people.
Last night Market street was a blaze
of fire from end to end, from the cleo
trio lamps strung across the street,
electrical Masonic and Templar de-
signs, and the displays from stores
and other buildings, To say the streets
were packed literally expresses their
condition, but withal it was a happy
and genteel crowd.
This morning there was a grand
parade of the Communicates of Cali

This Year BY the City.
The paving of Hall street will be
started tomorrow and about fifty men
will be given employment. These men
have already been selected, most of
them having worked on the street be-
fore.
A large part of them are experienced
paving hands. After Hall street, State,
and two blocks on Park avenue are
also to be paved. Farm and River
stretes will be paved with cobble-
stones after the brick paving is COM
pleted.
The paving of these five streets will
complete the work for the year. The
brick streets will be finished very rap
idly, it is thought, but the other two
will take quite a while.
