By Associated Press.
Chicago, Dec. 29 —The Record says:
Count de Jotemps of Paris, France, has
dosed a contract for the purchase of abou
$5,000,000 worth of motor vehicles of a
Chicago manufacturer. The Count is presi
dent of the American Motor Agency, with
headquarters at Paris and office in every
capital in Europe.
The aim of this company, it is said, is
to control the European agency for the
sale of American manufactured motor
vehicles. The contract which Count De
Jotemps closed was with the Fischer
Equipment Company, of Chicago, and un
der if the company agrees to furnish the
agency with 500 horseless vehicles a year
for tiie next ten years. These vehicles in
clude carriages and wagons of every de
scription and are known as the wood
motor vehicle, the motive power of which
Is electricity.
The first Installment of vehicles is to be
delivered in Paris not later than March 15
and shortly after that date they will be
placed on sale in every town of importance
in Europe.
I he Count has also closed contracts with
the Roeder Motor Company, of Holyoke,
Mass., manufacturers of a gasoline car
doge; the Overman Wheel Company, of
t hippee Falls, Mass., manufacturers of
light gasoline motor carriages and the
Stanley .Automatic Carriage Company, of
Newton, Mass., which makes a steam mo
tor carriage. The combined contracts call
for 1.500 vehicles to be delivered each year
lot the mx: ten years. The aggregate
price To be paid is said to fall not far short
of $15,000,000.
■'The American patents on horseless
vehicles are the only ones of practical
value on the market.” said the Count.
In Europe we have nothing that com
pare with the American motor vehicles
ej’her in lightness, easy running ruali
tin-. rigidity or stability. We are satisfied
that America will furnish the horseless
caiiiage ot the future and it is our idea to
control the supply.”
ABRAHAM LINCOLN’S BUST
To Adorn the Turret of the New Battle
ship Illinois. >
By Associated Press.
Chicago. Dee. 29. —Abraham Lincoln in
bas-relief on a table of bronze may adorn
the turret of the battleship Illinois. For
mer Congressman George Adams has writ
ten to Governor Tanner asking him to re
commend 4o the legislature an approprla
„ lion for a memorial tablet of that design.
Beside the figure of the martyr president
Mr. Adams suggests that an Inscription
be placed below with the extracts from
Lincoln’s Gettysburg speech.
Many of the states have appropriated
money for services or adornments of a
memorial nature for the battleships that
bear their names. lowa and Indiana fur
nished silver services for the ttoatinc forts
that bear their names and the legislature
of Massachusetts has appropriated money
for a bronze tablet for the battleship of
that name. Mr. Adams has written a let
ter to the Massachusetts executive asking
for a description of the tablet.
He thinks that as the citizens of Illinois
are to contribute a silver service for the
■oattieship, of the commonwealth should
furnish something in the nature of a pop
ular memorial. The tablet would be
placed oir the forward turret under the
guns in a place where it would be as
prominent as the figure head on the prow.

A SMALL PISTOL
But It Was Able to Kill a Very Careless
Man.
By Associated
Chicago. Dec. 29. —Edward Kelly, a well
■saloon 'man of this city, has accidentally
shot and killed himself. The tragedy,
which occurred in his saloon, was the re
sult ot a joke and was witnessed by sev
eral of Kelly's friends.
James S. Savage, manager of the Grove
land department 'building remarked that
he was going to an apartment building to
collect a bill.
“You’ll need a gun to defend yourself.”
laughed Kelly.
“Well. I’m ready for an emergency,” re
plied Savage, as he pulled a revolver and
laid it on the bar. Kelly picked it up and
looked a; it. Savage warned him that it
was loaded.
"Why, that would not hurt a baby.” said
th? saloon keeper, as he threw the re
volver on the floor behind the counter.
The next instant there was a loud report
and eKHy fell forward to the floor.
“The gun fooled me." he cried, as he fell
and he became upoonscious. His startled
companions hurried to his side and found
that the bullet had entered the left eye.
A doctor was called but Kelly died within
a few minutes without regaining con
sciousness.
A NARROW ESCAPE.
Thankful words written by Mrs. Ada E.
Hart, of Groton. S. D.: “Was taken with
a bad cold which settled on my lungs:
cough set in and finally terminated in
consumption. Four doctors gave me up.

FUNERAL OF MISS GARCIA.
Services at Thomasville, Ga., Yesterday
Afternoon.
Thomasville. Ga., Dee. 29 —Notwith-
, standing they were strangers in a strange
land, the funeral of Miss Mercedes Garcia,
daughter of General Calixto Garcia, who
died in this city Tuesday afternoon, was
largely attende. The services were con
ducted in the parlors of the Masury hotel,
at which place the Garcia family are stop
ping. The floral offerings sent in by sym
pathizing friends were numerous and
beautiful. The body was laid away in Its
temporary resting place in Laurel Hill
cemetery, but will be taken up and re
moved to Cuba as soon as the family can
| make the necessary arrangements.
SMALL ROASTS CHAPLAINS.
Says Men Would Rather Go to Cock Fights
Than to Meeting.
Savannah, Ga., Dec. 29 —Rev. Sam Small,
the evangelist, is now chaplain of the
Third Engineers, United States army. He
arrived here yesterday and one of the first
things he did was to give out an inter
view. Among other things, he said:
“The chaplains are a sort of sop to the
church sentiment, without much substance
to them. They just take a minister add
put a uniform on him with a silver cross
on the shoulder, pay him S2OO a month
and turn him loose on 1,200 men, without
any of the implements of the spiritual war
fare to fight with. I’ve been disappoint
ed.
‘‘When I get out I am going to suggest
that they do away with the chaplains. I
suppose there may be a howl, but it is bet- |
ter to raise the issue and have the whole I
system revised. When we get down to \
Cuba I’ll wager most of the men would
rather go to a cock fight or a bull ■
than attend services. To tell the truth, 1
am beginning to think there is a heap of
balderdash about what the chaplains do I
accomplish outside of meeting the senti- I
ment that calls for their presence with
every body of troops.”

WIRING THE I
. ISLANDS
The Philippines to be Con
nected Bv a System of
Cables.
By Associated Frees.
New York, Dec. 29 —Colonel Kimball, of
the quartermaster department in the army
building has received orders from the war
department to secure at once an iron ship
of from 1,000 to 1,200 tons for use as a
cable ship to lay cables to connect the is
lands of the Philippines. The department
has already ordered for this purpose 166
miles of marine cable weighing 525 tons.
The cable will take about 6,500 cubic feet
for coiling. The cable is to be coiled in
skeleton tanks in different bolds on the
vessel. The cable ship must accommodate
on the forward deck the “given out” ma
chinery which will weigh from 15 to 20
tons and the accessories weighing from
5 to 10 tons. In the after hold will be !
filled out quarters for the crew of twenty I
men. This space will be used for coal on I
the way out. The ship will be kept on |
station as a cable ship, or can, if neces- i
sary, be usedas a transport. She is to be
secured at once.

TWO POINTED QUESTIONS ANSWER
ED.
What is the use of making a better ar
ticle than your competitor if you cannot
get a better price for it?
Ans. As there is no difference in the
price the public will buy only the better,
so that while our profits may be smaller
on a single sale they will be much larger
i in the aggregate.
How can you get the public to know
that your make is the best?
If both articles are brought prominently
■ before the public both are certain to be
tried and the public will very quickly
pass judgment upon them and use only the
better one.
This explains the large sale on Cham
berlain’s Cough Remedy. The people have
been using it for years and have found
that it can always be depended upon They
may occasionally take up with some fash
ionable novelty put forth with exaggerated
claims, but are certain to return to the
one remedy that they know to be reliable.
And for coughs, colds and croup there is
nothing equal to Chamberlain’s Cough
Remedy. For sale by H. J. Lamar w

AN OFFER FOR THE LOTS.
N?w York Capitalists Make Proposition to
Savannah Council,
Savannah, Ga., Dec. 29 —E. A. Richards
and Seymour Bros., of New York . last
night made a proposition to the city coun
cil to buy the city ground rent lots for
$250,000. These are lots upon which the
owners pay the city an annual ground
rent, the asset being valued at $213,000 on
a basis of 7 per cent. There has been
much talk of selling the city asset in view
of the fact that Savannah’s treasury is
quite short of money and has no funds on
hand with which to pay for the construc
tion of the new sewerage system. The city
has recently borrowed $20,000 for current
expenses and will probably have to borrow
more if the present council desires to turn
rhe government over clear of debt. Coun
cil has taken the matter under most seri
ous advisement. An opinion has been ren
dered to the effect that rhe city can legally
part with this large property.
