The King’s Daughters’ Work in Behalf of Poor Little Ones. There is a movement on foot to estab lish a King's Daughters’ nursery in Sa vannah. The object of such an institu tion is to give a home to little children that are too young to enter an orphan asylum. It is to be strictly non-sectarian, and will be the means of caring for a great many poor children, who are now dependent on others for their livelihood and guidance. In many cases these little ones are left in charge of totally disinter ested parties, and necessarily their com fort and life are of a secondary considera tion. The nursery will have a special depart ment to take care of the children during the day while the parents are at work. A nominal fee will be charged to those who can afford it and the poorer ones will be taken care of free. There are seventeen circles of the King's Daughters in Savannah who are directed in their work by Miss M. Reid, secretary for Chatham county. The num ber of King's Daughters in this city is over 250, who are earnestly working to relieve the sick and poor.. The proposed nursery has been defi nitely decided upon and will no doubt re ceive hearty and cordial support from all, without regard" to creed. The bene fits derived from a nursery of this kind are manifold, the good done cannot be conceived, and such noble and earnest workers as tho King’s Daughters will be readily assisted by many who know what beneficial results arise from such a lauda ble undertaking. WANTED TO M&.KE XTP. Two Motormen Battered Each Other Up and Then Wanted to Settle It. There is a prospect Of another assault with intent to murder case reaching a settlement. W. E. Mitchell swore out a warrant yesterday against P. F. Bell on that charge, and the case was to have come up before the grand jury, but had to be postponed. Mitchell is an Klffctric railway motor man and Bell is a Coast Line motorman. Mitchell charged Bell with stealing a suit of clothes from him last Tuesday and had him arrested. There was no-case against Bell, and he was discharged. Bell and Mitchell board at the same place, near Price and Gwinnett streets. Wednesday afternoon Bel! went to tho house and went into Mitchell s room, and a row was soon in progress. Mitchell cut at Bell with a knife and then with a razor. Bell then knocked Mitchell down and pounded him in the face with a pair of brass mucks. The result was Mitchell had Bell ar rested on a charge of assault with intent to murder, and the matter was to have been taken up by tho grand jury yester day afternoon, hut was crowded out bv other business. While Mitchell and Beli wpre waiting outside the grand jury room to be called they got very "chummy,” so to speak, and Mitchell seemed very much inclined to drop the prosecution. They had made up and were talking in a friendly way, and both were asking mound the court house if they could set tle the case. If the state tries to press tin prosecution the probability is that it "I: be unable to make out a case for want of sufficient evidence. GOOD TEMPLARS ORGANIZING.

A Prominent Professor Speaks About the Threatening Things Abroad at This Time of t Jie Year. “It Is surprising how many people are suf fering to day from so-called coughs, colds and influenza." The remark was made by a very prominent professor, connected with one of the leading New York hospitals. Continuing, he said: “It is not these things that are troubling people, but it Is an advanced form of our old enemy, the grip. People feel out of sorts, sneeze, have pains in the muscles and bones, have no appetite, lose all interest in the world and wonder what is the matter. It is the grip; nothing else. "Now. all such symptoms need to have prompt treatment. The attack must be met and repelled at once, or It is certain to run into something serious. I know of but one way to certainly avoid these troubles which are now so common, and that is, to imme diately counteract them by ustmg a good, pure, strong stimulant. Nothing of the ordi nary kind, but something pure and scientific. For this purpose nothing has ever equaled Duffy s Pure Malt Whiskey, which is ae knowledged to-day by physicians and scien tific people to be the only pure, medicinal malt whiskey upon the market.” The words of the professor are true and they carry a wonderful meaning to many men and women who are suffering with the first symptoms of grip, or else grip in its ad vanced stages. For all such people we offer a word of advice: which is to take the best means to overcome these troubles and do not permit any dealer to swerve you from your purpose to have that which has proven itself by years of use, to be the best and purest stimulant In the world. TWO SPEECHES ON HAWAII. Davia Goes for*the President and Tur ple Lays Out Stevens. Washington, Jan. 11.—The Senate was entertained to-day with two able speeches on the subject of Hawaii. The first was by Mr. Davis, rep., of Minnesota, in continu ation of that which he had commenced yes terday; and the second was by Mr. Turpie, dem., of Indiana. Mr. Davis argued that the appoint ment of Mr. Blount as conftoissioner to Hawaii without the advice and consent of the Senate, was a presidential invasion of the privileges of the Senate, for which he found a parallel only once in the history of imperial Rome. The hauling down of the American flag in Honolulu came in for much denunciation on the part of Mr. Davis, in which he was sustained by other republican senators; and he wound up his speech by the declaration that, in the sublime judgment of the American people, the President's Hawaiian and fiscal policy would be condemned. TURPIE DENOUNCES STEVENS. Mr. Turpie took the broad ground that the provisional government of Hawaii was a de-facto government which could not rightfully be interfered with, but that no treaty or project of annexation with it could be honorably entered into by the American government. Minister Stevens was held up to execration as an unworthy minister, and man for his coarse expressions as to the queen who had been his hostess for many months, and he was characterized in Mr. Turpie’s forcible language as a spy, an ingrate, and an out law. Messrs. Davis and Turpie each occu pied the floor for two hours. The other business of the day was unimportant. After a short executive session, the Senate at 5 p. in. adjourned till to morrow. PEACH TREES IN BLOOM. A Second Crop of Pears Reported at Gainesville. Gainesville, Fla., Jan. 11.—A contrast on a large scale was observed on our streets yesterday—two hundred black men with white rose buds pinned to the lapels of their coats. This was during the “walk" of the colored Masons, as the “shrine” boys put it. Anew railroad scheme is on foot in the western part of this county, but from where to where has not been decided. Vidal & Bradford sent off yesterday 100 bales of moss. This is the first ship ment in months owing to the financial stringency at the north. They say now that they will continue to fill orders daily. Waterman Johnson at Micanopy had his barn with 150 bushels of corn de stroyed by fire on Monday night last. In cend'iary. Young Mr. Cessna fell out of an orange tree yesterday and knocked two of his front teeth out by the fall. The peach trees are as full of bloom as ever known here at any time of tho year, a second crop of pears are on the trees and string beans for sale in shops. A RACE TO STOP A SALE. The Papers Reach the Auctioneer Just in the Nick of Time. Knoxville, Tenn., Jan. 11.—The other day G. A. Drutzler obtained a judgment in the circuit court of Morgan county against the Frankfort Land Company for $865 and the hotel and furniture on the premises were to be sold at noon Wednes day to satisfy said judgment. The com pany obtained an order from Judge Key, of the United States court enjoining the sale, which order came into tho hands of Marshal Condon late Tuesday for service. The hotel is situated about seventy miles from Knoxville, and a good portion of the distance was to be made on horseback over two or three ranges of mountains, and some hustling was certainly necessary to stop the sacrifice of valuable property at this sale, where other creditors were equally interested. The marshal placed tho order in the hands of Deputy Marshal Sensey with instructions to “git thar.” The officer arrived on the grounds a few minutes before the sale occurred and had it stopped. The Frankfort Land Company has some 20,000 acres of land in that section of Morgan county on which it intends to colonize a lot of Swedes. Already quite a number of Swedes are located there, and the officer states that he could find only one person in the crowd about the hotel who could talk Euglisb, and he was the auctioneer. THREE KILLED ON A HANDCAR. An Iron Train Ran It Down Owing to Smoke Blown on the Track. Woodward, Ala., Jan. 11.—An engine of the Woodward Iron Company collided with a hand car to-day with the follow ing result: J. V. Meal, section foreman, killed; Louis Frizzle, section laborer, killed; James Owens, section laborer, killed; Jim Jackson, section laborer, fa tally injured. The men were on the hand car returning to the furnace. The engine was just leaving with an iron train. Thick smoke blown on the track by a heavy wind prevented the crews from see ing each other. New State Depositories. Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 11.—Gov. Northen to-day appointed the following banks as state depositories, under the act of the last session of the legislature: Clark Banking Company, Covington; Mer chants and Farmers Bank. Quitman; Bank of Fort Gaines, Bank of E(berton, Planters Bank, of Americuß, First National Bank of Cartersville. This last ' named, being a national bank, gives a ! bond of SIOO,OOO, while the others give l bonds of $50,000. State OF Weather. THE PRAIRIE ON EIRE. Description of a Thrilling Scene by One Who Has Ssen It. Maj. Burke, in Chicago Inter Ocean. There must have been over a hundred horses and teams within a square of Tucker's, some tied, some browsing around, according to loeal Custom. Sud denly Buck Taylorjuncoiled his six foot three of muscle off a table whence he had been gaziugoutof a window.and shouted: "Look at that fellow coming! Wonder what's behind him?’* ; Slithering ovef the prairie like a streak of lightning was Buffalo Bill’s best razor, “Kite," who had a record of 1:48. On he dashed, the crowd growing more puz zled, till we made out little Johnnie Nel son on his back, without saddle or bridle, only just the halter rope, aud presently he flew past, unable to stop him, *nd shouted to Bnffalo Bill, who stood at the doorway: “Fire! Pop says prairie! whoa boy, whoa boy!" While the little half-breed was curbing his steed the crowd turned out and hastily scanued the horizon with blanched checks. Sure enough, there beyond Cody's ranch was the dull, black so fearfully well known to the old hands, and, horrors of horrors! the WIND WAS DEAD on the town! Kite circled around, with the foam on neck and sides, and his young rider yelled out his appalling tnes sage again: “Pop, says the prairie fire—to come— be pretty d—n quick,-or there’ll be h—-!" Next instant the erowd were scramb ling into buggies, catching horses, seiz ing blankets, overcoats and rugs from the stores, together with matches, rope, kegs of kerosene —anything to assist in the struggle with the flames. If Buf falo Bill’s ranches were burned the town must go, for they were all that separ ated the open prairie from the wood-built city. The colonel naturally took com mand, and his first inquiry was: “Where are the plows?” "Out on tho raufch,” says the young ster. “Right,” says Idiij—nerver a man of many words, and i<s—a twinkle he was mounted on Old Charlie, and off like a flash, followed hetter skelter by the whole crowd, in the direction of the thick, black smoke that was rolling up in the east and increasing in volume every in stant. “My God!” says somebody; “Old Jack Moulton is doomed.” But there was no time to discuss question. It was no SLOUCH OF A SCARE, that. You know what a fire is in a brick built city; but judge what a hurricane of destruction comes when the thick, tall grass of prairies gets aflame, and there are no burners to stop tho march of the roaring devil that sweeps on with a tongue of Are ten miles wine, and seems to revel in the havoc it is muking. Tho Great Scott, it makes my hair stand on end now to think of it! About two miles out on the ranch we were met by scores and hundreds of frightened cattle, horses and mules— Moulton's and Cody’s mixed—rushing on in maddened terror to escape. Cody hastily ordered some of his men to head them off, so that they Would cross the railroad track, behind which we kept a strip of land ready burned off in anticipa tion of some such event, and then off we plunged again. About half a mile beyond tho home stead Major North, Broncho Bill.and the ranchmen had already started six big plows—four and six horses to a plow, a man on the leaders, another to handle the whip alongside and two men taking turns at the handies, making a “fire break," or plowed strip of land to the river bank. Other teams with water barrels were streaming along; and presently dashing here and there, givipg orders and dis patching couriers, rode Buffalo Bill, whose arrival was the signal for wild shouts of applause. The little army knew that his experience would tell him what best to do. Dipping long Popes in the kerosene and lighting them, dozens of us rode alongside the furrow nearest the approaching danger, firing the grass close to the plowed ground. a burnino line to the river was soon slowly crackling against the wind, while with wet blankets ran hero and there, men whipping out any stray sparks that crossed the border or fell from the air, which had now be come almost stifling hot,- Che flue ashes which were falling making It look gray, as if it snowed. Faster approached the great mass of smoke and flame. It did not sweep along as the “back fire" did, but jumped 100 yards at a time, hissing, rumbling, crackling as if it were snap ping up a forest of young timber. A grand sight and a fearful one; though we’d not much time to look at It. We jusi pui in live years’ work in one hour, 1 reckon, and some of us—old John Nelson, especially—fought it so close that ho had beard and eyebrows singed. There was a dead silence. “My gal Annie” was missing and w(s gazed at, each other with horrified faces. Then old Jack turned to Chicago With lightning in his eves. “She stood beside you as you mounted, you cur! Why did you leave her?” The youngster muttered something about having no time, but, almost before he had opened his mouth, the old man had cut him down senseless with the butt of the heavy whip he carried. Next mo ment he sprang to his saddle and would have forced the trembling horse back toward the approaching flames, but the iron hand of Buffalo Bill had gripped the bridle. “Moulton,” said he; “it's awful; but I can’t let you commit suicide 1” All this had passed in a few seconds, and our boys were still working away for dear life all along the “fire break. ” In the meantime the THE FRIGHTED, FRi'UITBSKD HORSES. which had been loose, their masters being at work on foot, had dashed off for the ranch, with old Charlie at their head and a couple of cowboys at their tails. The backfire slowly worked to windward, and when it reached a dis tance of about r quarter of a mile >it seemed, all at once, to be swal lowed up by a billow of flame, which as it struck the saving shore, leaped a hun dred feet in the air and turned to clouds of the blackest smoke. Then rose a mighty shoutfrom the river, - MEDICAL v _ In the Early Days of cod-liver oil its use was limited to easing those far advanced in consumption.

He carried a man and a woman young Si and “my gat Annin” Si's hat and shirt were on fire, but the girl though gasping in tho extremity of terror, was unscathed. Rbady hands quickly extin guished tho lad's smouldering garments. It was a near thing for him, though, for his long flaxen hair had been burned to the scalp, and there were blisters on his back. Then old man Moulton came out of his shell surprisingly. With tears of joy streaming down his withered cheeks, he seized the young fellow’s hand and said: “1 reckon you’ve about aimed that gal Annie, and you can take hor, tny son, for your own as soon as you like.” We watched the fire slowly burn down to the river's edge and expire.
