fCLOSREY’S CRACK MEN.
T&e Team to Represent Savannah This
Year Made l'p oi Good Players.
Hutchinson and Peeplos, of the Cali
fornia League, Signed—Hutchison to
Play Third Base and Peeples Short
Stop— The Team to Report by March
15— The Preliminary Season to Give
It a Test.
Manager McCloskey has signed his
team of players who will represent Sa
vannah on the diamond this season. He
has at last landed two star players of the
California league. Hutchinson and Pee
ples, who have accepted his terms and
will report in Savannah on or before
March 15.
Hutchinson will play third base and
Peeples will play short. Both men have
done remarkably good work on the San
Francisco team, and McCloskey is highly
Pleased that he was able to secure them.
he entire list of the Savannah club will
be published in a few days with a record
of each player.
McCloskey, although having to work at
a disadvantage is starting in so late to
sign his men, has been unusually success
ful. and feels confident that he has se
cured the best material, considering the
low salary limit of the Southern League.
I: will be remembered that the ma ority
of the men who played in the south last
year are now under contract with the
Western League, and it is reasonable to
suppose that the local team is as good as
any in the present Southern League.
M’CI.OSKEY’S POLICY,
McCloskey has taken a different course
from the other managers iu the league
and instead of painting the work of his
players in glowing colors has decided to
wait until the public can judge for itself.
The season opens in about six weeks,
and as the Savannah team plays at home
during the first part of the scries it is ex
pected the men will be able to get in their
team and individual work before going on
tne road. Should any changes be made
it will be done here.
The selection of a site for the ball park
still hangs fire. The loi al management
and the street railway companies have
not come to any satisfactory agreement,
but a representative of the Morning
News was told by a gentleman connected
with the management that it is more
than probable the game would be played
at the Bolton street park.
THE BUNT HOLE.
The schedule committeeof tho National
league has finally disposed of the vexa
tious question in regard to the bunt. The
southern league rules will be the same as
those of the national.
There was so much adverse criticism
on the bunt rules, as modified and penal
ized by the committee on ru es, that the
last meeting of this committee, recently
held iu New York, made a-radical change,
and any attempt at a bunt, which goes
foul, will be called a strike, whether there
are men on bases or not.

Two examples of aluminium built yachts
are at present to be seen in French
waters, says the 1-ondon Engineer. Ono
is the 10-ton yacht Vendenessa. launched
last month from the stocks of the Societe
de Chantiers de la Loire, and now in
course of being fitted out for next season.
The oth.pr.is a JJ-foot sailing boat, now on
exhibition on the Seine. The former
cruft has been built for the well-known
French .yachtsman, Comte do Chamban
nes la Palice, from the designs of M. V.
Grielloux. It is computed that if
this vessel had been constructed of
steel frame and wood planking, like
other boats of her class, her hull would
have weighed some -t tons 5 cwt., but in
aluminium the weight is oalv some 2 tons
6 cwt. The other craft referred to is
named the Jules Davoust, and with it
Lieut. Hourst, intends to set out on a sur
vey expedition on the Niger. This craft
affords additional proof of the great suit
ability of aluminium as the structural
material for boats intended for excep
tional purposes, such as river survey and
exploration. The I oat complete only
weighs 18 cwt, a fa-t which sufficiently
indicates the extreme portabilitv of the
craft when overland transport is involved.

ATLANTA’S SMALL-POX CASES.
The Authorities Take Stapa to Stamp
Out the Disease.
Atlanta, Ga., March I.—The threatened
epidemic of small pox has caused general
excitement to-day. Several new cases in
different parts of the city have been ru
mored. but investigation provod that of
the five added to the sick list, four have
varioloid, not small-pox. Ono of the
cases of varioloid reported is on the oppo
site side of the city from the cases re
ported. Another case was reported in the
family of a mechanic named Scott, at 82
Sampson street. The house has been
quarantined.
The house in the old barracks has also
been quarantined, and a physician has
been placed within the quarantine limits.
Anew ease of small pox has developed
at 1 Fortune street, iu the t hird ward,
entirely across the city from the old bar
racks. where the disease first appeared,
in the family of a machinist named Kil
patrick. This case is only a few blocks
distant from another in this ward, re
ported later in the day. It was rumored
that there wore three cases of the disease
at the Atlanta University, that these
cases were being concealed, and that the
disease had originated there. This was
investigated this morning, and it was
found that there were three
cases of chicken pox around the
university. The university is within a
stone's throw of the place where the first
victim of the pest is now lying.
BROUGHT IX THE MAILS.
There are various suppositions as to
how the disease reached Atlanta. The
board of health believe that it came here
through the mail, as the first person who
had it was a mail carrier.
At the meeting of the board of health
held in the mayor’s office this morning,
for the purpose of taking the necessary
steps to prevent the spread of the dreau
disease, a special committee was ap
pointed to perfect the arrangements, and
was given full i>ower to act. ’ihe o*i
mittee has decided to order a compulsory
vaccination of every one in the city. This
plan will be carried out by the appoint
ment of special physicians in each ward.
These physicians have been selected ana
will begiu their work at once. They will
make a house to house canvass and vacci
nate every one who iu their judgment does
not enjoy immunity from smallpox. The
i ommittee advises every one who has not
oeeu vaccinated to have their family
physician perform the operation and get
a certificate that it has been done. They
also advise that all school
children be vaccinated. Thoso per
sons who have been vaccinated
imperfectly will be revaccinated. The
ward physicians will remain in their of
fices every day and vaccinate those who
are unable to pay free. The board of
hualth will meet every day iu the sani
tary department for consultation.
A hospital to hold twenty-five patients
will be erected at the quarantine station
immediately. A number of tents will
also be procured for the use of those who
are placed in quarantine. A steam and
hot air disinfecting machine and build
ings will also be erected at once.
VIRGINIA’S OY3TER WAR.
A Committee from the Maryland Leg
islature at Richmond.
Richmond, Va., March 1. —The committee
from the Maryland legislature to lay be
fore Gov. O’Ferrall and the Virginia gen
eral assembly the complaint that the at
tack upon the Maryland oyster
dredgers in Tangier sound was
in Maryland waters, and
to demand restitution, arrived here
to-day, and had an interview with the
governor. The Maryland committee con
tended that they have reliable informa
tion that the firing was done in the waters
of their state. Gov. O'Ferrall’s informa
tion is positively to the contrary. The
Marylanders said that their main object
was to secure concurrent legislation look
ing to the avoidance of trouble in the fu
ture.
Gov. O’Ferrall will send to the legisla
ture to-morrow a special message regard
ing this latter matter, and probably a bill
will be introduced looking to concurrent
police enforcement of the laws. As to the
matter of restitution it is thought that
that cannot be settled without a commit
tee to decide the question where the fight
took place.
MAYOR GOODWIN INDORSED.
The Mass Meeting Sustains His Veto
Against the Piedmont Scheme.
Atlanta, Ga., March I.—A mass meet
ing of the citizens was held at tho court
house to-night, and resolutions indorsing
Mayor Goodwin’s veto of the Piedmont
land deal were passed. A number of
speeches were made, the directors of tho

tion. Tlie meeting scored the local papers
roundly for parbiir.tf their news and edi
torial columns so as to help the
deal through, and charged the press
with the sole responsibility if the exposi
tion scheme fails. A unanimous vote was
cast in favor of holding an exposition and
the plan of submitting the present fight
to the arbitration of a couferenco com
mittee approved. This committee will

DANGER JUST AHEAD,
A Prominent Professor Speaks About the
Threatening Things Abroad at This
Time of the 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
proVs-ior, connected with on* of the leadiug
New York hospitals. Continuing, he said:
“It is not those things that are troubling
people, t ut 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 thegiip;
nothing else.
"Now. all such symptoms need to have
prompt tieatment. The attack mini be met
and repelled at once or it is certain to run
into something serious. I know id lut one
way to certainly avoid these troubles which
are now' so common, ar.d that is. to imme- !
dlately counteract them ny usimg a good. !
pure, strong stimulant Notning of the ordi
nary kind, but something pure and scientific.
Lor this purpose nothing has ever equaled
Duffy s Pure Malt Whiskey, which is ac ;
knowledged to-day by physi ians and scien
tific people to be the only pure, medicinal
malt whiskey npon the market."
The words of the professor are true and
they carry a wonderful meaning to many
men and women who are suffering with ihe
first symptoms of grip, or else grin in its ad
vanced stages. For ati such people we offer
a word of advice; which is to take the best
moans to overcome these troubles and do not
permit any denier 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. „
SABOT MAKERS OF BRITTANY.
Living in the Forests and Scarcely
Civilized.
From the New York Tribune.
Dinan, France, Feb. 10.—There are fevr
more interesting trades to be found in the
world than that followed by the "sal ot
iers” of Brittany, who live in the forests
and are scarcely civilized. Unfortunately,
they are becoming rarer, as that part of
France yearly has closer intercourse with
the people of the outside world who do
not use the wooden shoe; and as these in
troduce the leather article among the
Breton country folks tho custom of wear
ing sabots is gradually dying out, along
with the lace caps and the queer Breton
costumes. However, the sabotier is still
to bo found, nnd has. so far, retained all
his romantic poculanties.
When the sabotier changes his locality
—which he docs as soon as his stock of
suitable wood rias given out—he begins
by looking out for a tract of woodland on
which ho will find sufficient beech and
walnut to give him at least four or five
years’ work. He. then chooses a site for
his dwelling, which is generally built
where there is undergrowth beneath tall
forest trees. Ho clears a space large
enough !or his house and yard, in which
he will erect some small outbuilding. The
sabotier then hires a man to build bis
habitation, which, when entirely finished,
cost not more than SIOO to $l5O. The
walls are made of turf, and are not over
two yards high, surmounted by a very
spacious projecting thatch roof of "genet”
or the broom plant. Through this roof
the smoke drifts in every direction, lor
there is no chimney. There are one or
two tiny apertures cut in the mud wall,
which aro intended for windows; and
these, containing only one small pane of
glass, attached to the rudest of frames,
are perfectly opaque from smoke and dirt
and impenetrable to the brightest sun
beam.
Several trunks of trees are left stand
ing iuside the hut. They reach up to the
roof, and, with the rough bark left on,
have all the upiiearar.ee of heing pillars;
they also have their use. for nails are
knocked'’in all’totiid, within reach, on
which various household articles and
clothing are bung—hats, watches.kitchen
utensils, etc.—in fact anything that will
hang. There is at one end of tho house a
wide sort of hearth, on which huge heaps
of leaves and damp brushwood are made
to smoulder for tho purpose of smoking
and drying the sabots and giving them a
bright mahogany color.
The sabots are hung by the heels for a
few hours only on long sticks fastened
against the wall at the back of the fire.
Tho smoke at these times is so dense that
one cannot see a ross the little apartment;
yet it does not in the least inconvenience
the saboties or his family, who sit around
the hearth on low blocks of wood. The
women sew and the men contribute to the
thick pall of smoke from stumpy clay
pipes aud the wmrst quulity of tobacco.
When these huts have been occupied for
a few years the rafters and furniture are
so penetrated with smoke as to be per
fectly black and shino iike ebony.
The entire family live, eat and sleep in
this one apartment. Theig beds are
much like cupboards with two sholves
and little sliaing doors. There is a small
ladder by which one climbs up to tho bed
on the top shelf, and there Are very
smoky curtains which hang down in
front: indeed, the whole appearance of
thoso beds is anything but inviting, the
linen, from the general atmosphere, bring
about the toior of pale cinnamon.
In front of the main dwelling stands a
rustic shed of the same materials as
j the house, under which the men carry
j on their work, with the queerest of im
| plements. that are never seen outside of
j their “ateliers.” or workshops - inexplii a
ble tools without names Some aro like
long knives fastened down at ono end by
a ring passed through another ring which
is inserted in a large bloek of
wood. This i3 used to finish
and {smooth off all unevenness in the
sabots, which have been coarsely cut into
shape with hatchets. They are then
scooped out with a nondescript tool; but
before using these two round holes are
| made in the wood, one down into tho heel,
the other forward toward the too. This
is done with a kind of gimlet, and is
I meant to prevent the gouging instrument
I from splitting the sabot. Tho patient
workers never think of measuring the
two little blocks. A casual glance from
time to time tit tho first is all they re
quire to help with the second, and yet
they are always exactly alike.
The men are rough in appearance and
manner, and aro seldom seen away from
their homes. Like the gypsies they
nearly always marry among themselves
consequently all the sabotiersin the coun
try are acquainted with each other, and
are more or less nearly related.
