STOLEN LAST NIGHT
Animal Belonging TO Dr.. Mallory
Kennedy Found in the East
ern Section of the City.

The horse and buggy of DR.. Mallory
Kennedy was stolen early last night,
but was found later IN the eastern

had been tied TO a tree.
DR.. Kennedy had hitched his horse
at the corner of Barcelona and Gads

That the table fork should be vir-
t.aIy unknown and at any rate IN
used IN the orient is the more strange
when it is borne in mind that 1t orig
inally came from Constantinople. Long
before the fork made its appearance in
FRANCE 1t was IN use at Venice, where
It had been introduced in 1895, on the
occasion of the wedding of>Don Pietro
Oricsia ArgilO, son Of the doge Of
Venice, TO q princess Of the imperial
house Of ByZance. People at Venice
were astonished at the marriage feast
to see the bride make use Of z small
gold fork for conveying the food from
her plate to her mouth, instead Of
spoon and fingers. The bridegroom
was so delighted with the idea that he
at once had a whole stock of gold
forks made for his own use and for
that of his relatives, and before many
months were past there was not Il
patrician in Venice who did not en-
ploy a fork at his meals. The use Of
the fork spread very slowly through
Italy and over the remainder of Eu-
rope. 1t was not until some 200 years
afterward that it was introduced into
France by Duke John Of Brittany

The Nest Ancient Books.

The most ancient books are the writ
ings OF Moses and the poems Of Homer
and Hesiod- The earliest sacred writ
ings OF the Chinese are called the Five
Kings, king meaning web of cloth or
the warp that keeps. the threads in
their place. They contain the best say
ings Of the best sages on the ethics
political duties Of life. These sayings
cannot be traced to a period higher
than the eleventh century B. G. The
Three Vedas'' are the most ancient
books Of the Hindoos, and IT is be-
lieved that they are not older than elev-
en- centuries B. c. The Zendavesta of
the Persians is the grandest of all the
sacred books next to our Bible. Zorro
aster. whose sayings it contains, was
born in the twelfth century B. c. No

TAFT IN CUBA. 4
Savannah News. Z
} . . 9 80 80 o o 8 o 9 Z

Secretary Taft has run up against
no harder proposition in his whole
political career than that of bringing
order out of chaos in Cuba. He ar
rived in Havana on Sunday, and by
this time he doubtless has heard
enough TO satisfy him that II will be
many a day before ii will be wise
to withdraw the American troops
from the island
1t is doubtful if it is possible for
the CubanS 10 give tneir island a
stable and safe government. The Mod
crates don't trust the Liberals and the
Liberals are not going TO consent to
a government by the Moderates. And
the Liberals, who are greatly in the
majority, are split into factions. Ii
is stated that d half dozen Liberal
chiefs, all generals, went TO the east
ern part of the island recently for
the purpose of seeing if they couldn't
adjust the differences between the
two Liberal factions there, one led
by Jose Miguel Gomez and the other
by Alfred Zayas. The result of the
conference was a free fight, which the
police had TO qUell. 1t cropped out
that the aim CT each faction was TO
get control of the Offices There isn't
much doubt that if the Liberals
should get control OF the government
it would very quickly loot the treasury
and run the island into debt to the
extent of many millions of dollars.
1t is well understood that the rep
resentatives of the foreign interests
in the island have no confidence in
the ability of the Cubans to govern
themselves. 1t is their belief that
there will be trouble as soon as the
American troops are withdrawn. One
report is that the representatives OF
the English interests have asked the
British foreign Office to get the con.
sent of the United States to keep at
least two British cruisers in Cuban
waters, and 1t is reported the French
minister has informed his govern
ment that there will be no protection
for the property of Prenchmen in the
island in the event of the re-establish-
ment of the republic.
1t Is a serious question as to what
this country is going to do TO meet
the demands of all interests. 1t is
committed TO the policy of establish
ing a safe and stable government in
Cuba, and ii seems TO be becoming
quite clear that it will never estab-
iSh such a government if il relies
upon the Cubans to do it. Before self
government can be success in Cuba
there will have to be an altogether
different population there.
The question of establishing a pro
tectorate over the island and the ad-
visibility of annexing it have been
discussed, but the United States
wants the Cubans to govern them
selves. But if the Cubans cannot
govern themselves then another
course must be adopted. The United
States must see to it that order is
maintained in the island and that
life and property are safe. If it
doesn't do that it will have trouble
on it's hands with European govern
mSntS.

Treatment of Dutch Children.


The Dutch peasant lives with canals
all about him and reaches his cottage
by way of n drawbridge. Perhaps it's
in the blood of a Dutch child not to
fall into a canal. At all events, the
Dutch mother never appears TO antici-
pate such a possibility. One can imag-
inc the average English or American
mother trying to bring up family in
a house surrounded By canals. She
never would have a minutes peace IN
til the children were in bed. But, then.
the mere sight of n canal to the Eng
lish child suggests the delights of a
sudden and unexpected bath.
An EngliShman inquired OF Dutch
woman, Does q Dutch child by any
chance ever fall into. a canal?"
Yes" she replied; ceases have been
known"
Don't you do anything for it," con-
tinued tie questfoner
oh, yes" she answered: eve haul
them out again
But whatI mean is" explained the
Englishman- don't you do anything to
prevent them falling into save them
from falling ia again."

Citizens Favor Election of
Public Servants
By Direct Vote.

The action of the mass meeting
last night, called at the instance of
the mayor and city council to discuss
and act upon the bill amending the
city charter which is now before the
governor awaiting his signature, was
a decisive one which no man could
fail 10 understand.
That mass meeting, called by the
opponents OF the charter amendment
! bill with the purpose of opposing the
I bill and securing its veto, developed
into a meeting of just the opposite
character meeting which voted a
unanimous endorsement of the bill
and a request of the governor TO sign
it Immediately.
The principle of direct election
which this bill embodies and which
the action 1.-THE mass meeting last
night endorsed, is one for which The
journal has always contended. 1t is
the same principle for which the
human race has been cOntending
ever since governments were organ
lied among men and it is the pr1n-
ciple which underlies the very genius
of American institutions
There should be no hesitation on
the part of Governor Broward in
signing the bid now before him. II
1T is imperfect it will not be the first
human document of which the same
could be said, but however imperfect
it may be, it constitutes a step in the
right direction and puts the city gov
eminent in closer touch with the
people from whom these public ser
wants derive their power.

A Thrifty LandIady.

There is a boarding house keeper in
Jersey City who gave Il rare exhibition
of thrift recently One OF her boarders
had committed suicide by gas, and the
dead mans executor in settling his es-

for so cents worth Of gas. On making
inquiries the executor was informed by
the woman that il was her custom to
read her gas meter each day, to keep
tabs on the amount Of gas consumed
by the boarders. and that on the day
of the suicide the meter showed that
80 cents worth of gas more than usual
had passed through it. This. she charg-

himself. and she saw no reason why
she should pay for it. The executor
