of the New York restaurant. on West
Broad street, who was arrested sew
eral days ago on a bench warrant
from Brunswick. charging him with
larceny, has returned to the city.
Bachelor says that he was able to show
that he was not guilty and had no trou-
BILE in adjusting matters. His friends
went to his rescue upon his arrival he
says, and dozens of them offered to
sign his bond. Surety was furnished by

ORGANIZED UNIFORM
RANK, WOODMEN OF WORLD
New Company starts with 40 Mem
bers, Enthusiastic for the Work.

NEW CoHpuny StuEAS WIN tO Mem-
bers, Enthusiastic for the Work.
A new branch in the secret orders
CT Savannah came into being last night
with the organization of Phillips Com
pany No. 1. Uniform Rank, Woodmen
of the World.
There were forty-six present at the
meeting, and all became members of
the new order. Considerable enthusi-
asm for the work was shown, and the
national organizer, who is present look
ing after the work, is confident that
there is a bright career before the or
der. The following officers were elect
ed: Captain, Mr.. w. H. Tifer; first
lieutenant, Mr.. l.. S. Hartford; second
lieutenant, Mr.. Herman Barr.
The company was named after Mr..
Newton Phillips, commissioned organi-
ger, of Kansas City, Mo-, who organ
lied the rank here. Mr.. Phillips has
worked hard to establish the company
and in recognition of his services the
company was named after him. The
order bears a similar relation to the
Woodmen of the World as the Uniform
Rank Pythians do to the knights of
Pythias.
Uniforms will be ordered at once,
and the company will begin preparing
for public appearance. The uniforms
are among the handsomest of any worn
by similar organizations.

.CITY'S CLAIMS
ON TOURISTS
TO BE SHOWN IN THE NORTH.
HANDSOME ILLUSTRATED BOOKLET
ISSUED BY PULASKI HOUSE.

Gives Views and Information About
Contains Maps of City and Ada
cent COuntry-NIore Tourists Now
in City Than Ever Before at This
SeasOn-Heavy TrnVN South Is
shown by RaiIrOads-Great Bulk
of Travel Is to Florida But More
Northern Resorts Will Feel Result
of 1t in the Spring.
A handsomely illustrated souvenir of
Savannah has been issued by the Pu-
lask House for distribution, in the
tourist centers of the North and West,
where it is expected it will arrest the
attention of persons bound south, and
induce them to stay over in Savannah
for a short time, at least The book
contains not only excellent cuts of
many places of interest in the city and
on its outskirts, but also two maps,
the one Of the city, the other showing
the nearby resorts and the excellent
roads by which they are to be reach
| ed.
1t is not only to Savannahs claims
as a winter tourist resort, however,
that attention has been given, for Ty-
bee, as a summer resort, has received
due prominence and some of the best
illustrations in the book are of scenes
at that resort, while the charms of the
place are sung in poetry, original verse
written by John H. Clark, and entitled
"On the Sands of Tybee."
The tourists that the book is intend
ed to reach are, by the way, very much
in evidence in Savannah just now.
This does not mean that they are here
in such numbers as to be distinctly
| noticeable, but that there are more of
them here for the present time of the
year than has ever been the case in the
past. This is proven not only by the
hotels but by the railroads. This alone
| is proof that the city is to secure
! much benefit from the fact that it is
now allowed tourist rates.
The claim made in some of the
Northern papers that the tourist bust
ness this season has not been so good
as that of last season is disproved
according to the figures of the rail-
roads, for comparing the figures of the
last season with those of the present,
to date, they have handled a much
| larger number of passengers, and last
season was conceded to be a banner
Sear.
1t is possible that the tourists are
not stopping at the resorts further
north, such as North Augusta. Cam
den, Aiken, Townsville and some other
places in Georgia and South Carolina,
but they are going into Florida in a
steady stream, and one that, far from
showing signs of diminishing, bids fair
to continue until the stream turns the
other way in the early spring. 1t is
believed that the resorts north of
Florida that are now lacking tour
lists will receive their share of pat
ronage later. for though the average
visitor to the South goes straight
through to the south of Florida, even
TO Cuba when he starts from the
North, yet on the return trip he gem
orally goes by easy stages visiting and
stopping in many PAGES that in his
hurried fight south he has merely pass
ed through, or overlooked entirely.

FOGs DIsPELLED.
COOper's Mercury VapOr Lamp Used
to Drive Away Mists.
From the New York Evening Post.

From the New York Evening Post.
Sir oliver Lodge, at a recent meet
ing of the British Physical Society, de-
scribed his work upon the dispersion
of fogs and dust clouds through cleo
trio discharges into the air. The fact
that when a body surrounded by a
cloud of dust or mist is electrified that
part of the cloud Immediately sur
rounding the body is dispersed, the
particles cohere and sink to the ground
or are driven away is well known.
Sir Oliver suggested some years ago
that this might be put to practical
use to dispense fogs, but thus far has
succeeded in interesting no corpora
tions in his plan. He has, however,
tried to disperse fogs at Liverpool,
using for this purpose a Wimshurst
influence machine which discharged by
means of a bundle of points into the
air. A very high potential is neces-
sary, and to increase the surface a
large gas flame was used to supple
ment the points. On one occasion the
discharge of electricity from the flame
was sufficient to keep a clear space of
fifty or sixty yards radius in dense
fog. Although these experiments were
promising, the Wimshrust machine did
not seem suitable for everyday use,
anu lltIG W do ilO OliDi BNiiEtdiOl
which would give a sufficiently high
direct voltage to do the work.
To overcome this difficulty Sir Oil
yer now uses the rectifying properties
of the Cooper Hewitt mercury vapor
lamp. To procure the necessary high
potential current from a high-fre-
quency dynamo is carried through an
Induction coil and then connected to
the terminals of the rectifier. The rec
tifier consists of twelve lamps con-
nected in a quadrilateral having three
lamps in each arm, and rectifies both
sections of the alternating current
wave. This arrangement gave him
undirectional sparks two or three
inches Tong, and was very effective in
laboratory experiments. To dispel the
fog i'm a circle of fifty or sixty yards
radius Is a creditable performance,
but the general application of this
method seems to be rather far off. The
cleared area will have to be extend
ed much more than sixty yards from
the discharge station before the sys-
TEN can be of use in harbors or at
sea, thus necessitating the use of very
high Voltages, such as are at present
impracticable. There are, however,
waterways-such as the Manchester
canal or the Chicago river, in which
the channel is narrow and the traffic
very great-where "A system of dis
pelling fogs only slightly better than
this would be useful

PYTHIANS ARRANGING
FOR ANNIVERSARY,

A short meeting of the Past Chan
cellors Association of the Knights of
Pythias was held last night to consid-
er arranging for a programme in OBJ
servance of the forty-tirst anniversary
Of the founding of the order, which
takes place on Feb. 19.
After some discussion it was decided
to hold the service in the theater and
to arrange a programme of vocal and
instrumental music and addresses by
prominent Pythians of Savannah, and
other cities. Gen. c. A. Cox was made
chairman of committee to complete
arrangements. Owing to the fact that
the theater is engaged on Feb. 10, the
service will not be held on that date,
but on some date near thereafter as
DOsSible.
