DICTATES TO PHOTOGRAPH
Judge Peasley Has Started New Method in His
 Office.

Judge Peasley is keeping abreast of the times without question. When monographs had become popular it was predicted that the day would come when a business man would get down~to his office in the morning. die tate to his photograph instead Of stenographer, and do d days work in d few hours in this manner, leaving the records for the clerk to write from. Judge Peasley has fulfilled that prediction. He has bad his office equipped with photograph and a set of records. And now. instead of die tating to d stenographer. he merely puts record on the machine. says to it what he has to say, and lays 1t aside. When the stenographer gets down to work he places the record on the machine, sits down to his type writer. turns the electricity on the phonoR1'aph and he begins to take" from it.
 Eighty records make "a set" and each record can be shaved or used eighty times 4 shaving machine goes with the outfit and it is a most tiell- cate apparatus. Judge Peasley finds this way of dictating far more pleas ant than dictating to steDograpner. When his thoughts cease to run, the machine can bc stopped. In fact. if can be made to keep time with the flow of thought.

FAMILY STARvEs

 Yesterday.

X most pitiable case of suffering was unearthed by Clerk George W. Rowe of the New Haven board of charities yesterday afternoon. Acting on information furnished the board, MT Rowe went to the house of Mrs Elizabeth Saunders of 3 Pierpont place and found her and her five chil. dren. aged from ? to years. almost exhausted from cold and starvation. When Mir Rowe arrived at the house the family were hiiddled together in solid bunch in the effort to keep warm. Mir Rowe at once sent to Springside home for conveyance and had them transported there.
 The case. according t0 ylr Rowe, is the most piriable be has seen iu hi. career In this work. The hus,anc and father of the family. Edward Saunders. died on January 2S in the Grace hospital where he had been sent by the board. He was employed ir the bird cage shUp aud bad always been thrifty up to rhe time of his iIl ness.

BOARD OF SAFETY
Thomas McEllisott Will do Substi-
 tute Duty at Police Station.

| The board Of public safety held . l meeting in the tower of the Leayen. | worth street engine house yesterday
 afternoon, and 1t. was such short
 meeting that after it was over the commissioners expressed wonder at
 what they had met for. Mayor
 Thoms presided. Every member was present. A communication was read regarding free travel on the trolley cars for fremen while in uniform. The
 idea seemed to meet with favor from ], the board. and it was said that there could be no good reason why tiremen in uniform should not be allowed to ride free as well as policemen. Con- missioners Andrews and Minor,. the | committee on wbeels, were appointed to act withoChief Snagg on the mat. ter. They will have to see Manager Sewell. and no doubt he will have ta refer it to the board of directors of the company. This is one of the few cities in the state where the firemen do not ride free when in uniform on the trOl. ley cars.
 The committee appointed at the last meeting to see to the purchase of all oil tester reported that Chief Snagg is in correspondence with the Standard Oil Co to ascertain what kind of ma chine is the best Commissioner An drews. who made this report. sad that no doubt the Standard Oil concern, poor as it is. will give itself the pleas ure of presenting to the city free a whole outfit for testing oil.
 Commissioner Griffin moved that Su- perintendent Beach be instructed to appoint Supernumerary Thomas McE., ligott to substitute duty at the police station whenever occasion arises. It was stated that frequently an office. is absent from duty through illness or some other cause and supernunlcrary has to be. appointed in bis place, and usually the superintendent made the appointment. After some discussion the motion was carried.
 Applications for appointment on the call fire force were received from John J. Gaffney, John J. Kiphut and James J. Deyoy.
 Superintendent Beacbs monthly re. port was accepted. The board then ad. journed to next Wednesday afternoon.

DIV Assoclated press.l

SAVANNAH. February But one
witness occupied the stand during to-
days sessions of the Federal Court in
the case against Greene and Gaynor.
This was ]. w. o. Sterley, whose fam,!-
iarity with dates and other Information
regarding river and harbor contracts
and improvements was shown to be SO
intimate as to call forth a comment from
the court touching the excellent memory
of the witness.
Mr.. Sterley was questioned closely by
both the district attorney and counsel
for the accused. He was mistaken in
his attitude of condemnation of methods
that were followed by Captain Carter in
the administration of his office as direc-
tor Of engineering work. The witness was
chief clerk under Captain Carter and his
immediate predecessor and he retained
the post under succeeding heads Of the
Savannah district.
The evidence related almost exclusively
to the advertisement for proposals upon
the big contract of 1896 for the Savannah
haNbor, the governments contention be-
ing that Garter, for the benefit of him
self and Green and Gaynor adopted
methods that tended to the elimination
of all other contracts and the consequent
assuring of the big enterprise to Greene
and Gaynor
Judge Admonishes Jury.
On adjourning until Monday. Judge
speer said in part: ''Gentlemen of tbs
jury: 1t is most important that both you
and I should every day strive fully to
realize the Importance OF the arduous
labor In which we are engaged.
''We must realize that this prosecution,
II proper. is intended not only to bring
the accused to justice, If they are con-
victed conformably to law, but for tile

diversion OF public funds, as much per-
haps as any other one cause, has con-

the most prosperous. Especially impor-
tant In these days when such vast ex-
penditures are being made for the public
welfare. is the judicial protection afford
ed by courts and Jures to the public
treasury. Think for a moment OF the
enormous sums appropriated for the
construction of the Panama Canal, for
public buildings, for all sorts OF public
improvements. Not less important is
your protection of tho accused In their
vestigatlon and an impartial trial. These,
indeed, are as essential to the public
welfare as the protection of tho public

THE SIGN OF THE CROSS,
Played to Two Large Audiences
at the Academy

The Sign of the Cross" which was
played twice at the Academy on yester-
day, well received by audiences that filed
the house.
The play. while not as well presented
as when last here, is strong and vivid
appealing to the serious thinking people
and teaching Scriptural lesson.
Mr.. Frank Smith played the part OF
Marcus superbus acceptably, and looked
the noble Roman to perfection.
Miss Alberta Keen as Mercia, the Chris
tian maiden. was we'll received. and Mr..
Henry r. Hambro as Glabrio furnished
bit of good comedy now and then.
The religious drama pleased the au-
dience. and that's for that object are
plays written.
One bit of comedy. not in the play, was
amusing.
The orchestra played rag time" be-
tween the acts OF the serious and blood
curdling production: coon songs follow
ed fast upon the dolorous chants of the
dying Christian.
This is not a criticism-only note Of
