THEY VISIT THE COLLEGE.
Drs. Gilman and Carry Very Favor
orably Impressed With It.
The Work of the Departments and the
Results Attained a Revelation to
Those Who Had Net Been There Be
fore—The Instructors Closely Ques
tioned by the Visitors Dr. Curry
Says the Institution Must Have a
State Appropriation Before It Can
Become a Beneficiary of the State
Fund.
It was a party of representative men
and educators that visited the Georgia
State Industrial College yesterday in
charge of Ma P. W. Meldrim, chairman
Of the board of commissioners, and Chan
cellor William hi. Boggs, D. D., of the
State University.
The party left the I)e Soto yesterday
r orning at 10 o'clock, in a special car
which had been provided. Besides the
gentlemen mentioned there were in the
party Dr. Daniei O. Gilman, Dr. J. L. M.
Curry, Judge W. U. llammond, of At
lanta, aud Mr. I*. J. Cline, of Mil
ledgeville, commissioners of the college;
Maj. .1. F. Brooks, treasurer, Judge A.
H. MacDonell, Judge Robert Falligant,
State School Commissioner S. D. Brad
well, Mr. J. K. Saussy, of the board of
•duration, and Messrs. W. 11. Thigpen and
Otis Ashmore. Dr. Boggs was at the
grounds when the party arrived aud
Judge Falligant came out later iu a
buggy.
While the party was looking over the
grounds Mrs. Gilman, Mrs. Meldrin and
Mrs. Morgan came out in a carriage.
INSPECTION OP THE COLI.EOE.
The sight of the grounds and buildings
Was a revelation to those of the party
who had not visited the place before, and
the work of the students and the results
attained were even more so. The pro
fessors and hundred pupils of the school
stood at the gate to receive their dis
tinguished visitors. The party visited
the houses occupied by the professors,
the dormitory and the recitation hall.
They stopped a few minutes each in
the class rooms where mathematics, His
tory and English grammar are taught.
The lessons all seemed to have been well
learned, and it was an interesting sight
to see that where one pupil made some
error or missed some question twenty or
thirty hands would go up, each being
eager to answer what the other had
missed. From the recitation rooms the
party went direct to the farm. There,
several of the boys were at work study
ing in a practical manner the different
branches of the agricultural industry.
THEY QUESTIONED THE INSTRUCTORS.
Dr, Curry and Gilman were thorough
and searching in their questions with
regard to the work and as to how it was
apportioned among the students. They
questioned with a view to getting at what
scientific principles and methods were
used in the practical instruction through
which each of the students has to go. In
looking over the schools and colleges
which make application for a portion of
the fund at their disposal thero are no
points that they overlook.
From the farm they went to the indus
trial department, where carpentering,
blacksmithing, wheel vvrigh ting and ma
sonry aro taught. In the carpentering
and other departments Dr. Curry was
even more searching in his questions. He
asked the instructors what methods and
principles they pursued in their work, and
whether or not the young carpen
ters and wheelwrights were required
to do their work from drawings
or whether they used models. "1 hero
were few drawings as the boys have not
yet been fully instructed in that branch
of the work. Those that have been made
as a basis of work, however, are very
creditable. President Wright and the
teachers of the college made themselves
very pleasant in showing the party over
the grounds. Among the visitors to the
college was Representatives Stiles, of
Liberty county.
A MEETING WITH TITE COMMISSIONERS.
After making a tour of the college and
getting,' a full insight into its capabilities
and possibilities the visitors were taken
to the Yacht Club, where they were the
guests of Judge Robert Falli’ant. They
then went over to Uonaventure cemetery,
where a pleasant half hour was spent in
looking over the beautiful grounds.
Yesterday afternoon Drs. Oilman and
Cnrry, as n reseutatiVes of the Slater
fuiid, met those of the commissioners who
are here at the residence of Maj. Meldrim,
and for half an hour they discussed mat
ters relating to the college and the re
quirements which will have to be com
plied with before the college can became
a beneficiary under the fund.
“I was very much pleased with what I
saw at the college,* 1 said Dr. Gilman.
“The boys are apt and they are being
taught in a practical manner. Front all
indications the college has a great future
of usefulness iu store for it.”
l'R. CURRY'S OBSERVATIONS.
“The college is young yet,” said Dr.
Curry, when asked his impression. ”but
it has great possibilities beforo it. The
s. hool is doing a great deal of practical
work, but there is room for improvement
with an increase in the lund at its com
mand.
“I am a great believer in manual train
ing. By thas ido not mean exactly what
is implied by industrial training. 1 do
not mean that a man should be made a
carpenter or a blacksmith, or taught any
one of the trades, but that lie should be
taught the use of tools, the use of all
kinds of tools, l beli.-vc things shou Id be
done scientifically. The carpenter, the
wheelwright and the cabinet maker
should be taught to do their work "from
their own drawings. In this way they
can Jo it scientifically, and with a nicety
which would other .vise be lacking.
MUST HAVE A STATE APPROPRIATION.
“The trustees of the Slater fund when
they agree to help an institution require
one thing which is la. king here. The in
stitution must be supported by a state ap
propriation. The appropriation of s-. 000
now made annually to this college tomes
through the state treasury, but it is a
part of the land scrip fund. The state
appropriates no money here which is
raised by direct taxation of its people.
tVe hate a sort of principle of
helping those who help themselves,
both in the administration of this and
of the Peabody fun 1. There must be
some guarantee of permanency of an in
stitution, and a state appropriation is
such to a certain extent. The success of
the instituiit'll is another thing taken into
consideration, and this of eours ■ de
pends largely on Uie amount of the appro
priation which supports it. Some of
these conditions are of course to be com
plied with preceding any aid from tho
Slater fund.
GOES TOWARD PAYING TEACHERS.
“There is no normal school work here.
That is another thing to which particu
lar atten ion is paid iu tne adtninistra
*on of this fund. That and the indus
trial feature . are the main things to the
servieaof which the fund is directed.
The average appropriation to each insti
tution which is a ben tie,ary of this fund,
is between td.UGO and xi.OOU. It govs
towards paying teachers, towards in
creasing tho instructive force of the
school. The matter of an appropriation
from the fund to the work here will be
taken under consideration.”
iho statement u m.e esterday that tho
©later fund under liisiiop iiaygood's ad-
ministration was distributed largely
among the northern colored colleges was
an error. Dr. Curry sa.vs it was then,
and always hr s been, distributed entirely
among so tin rn institutions. r l
Dr. Carry left for Atlanta last night.
l>r. and sirs. (iiimau will leave to night.
They will meet Dr. Curiy in Atlanta.
’ 'rs. < iiitnan and Curry will lie the guests
of Gov. Northen tomorrow. Gov.'
Northen was expected here yesterday,
hut found, at the last moment, that he
was unable to < ome on account of tho
fact that he had to remain to a confer
ence with some gentleman from Chatta
nooga. with regard to some matters con
cerning tho Western and Atlantic rail
road.
THEY WILL BUILD THE ROAD.
The Sam Road Bound to Get Into Sav
annah.
The owners or bondholders of the Sav
annah, Americus and Montgomery rail
road are undoubtedly earnest in thiqr
intention of getting into Savanuah ns
early as possible.
The action of the bondholders in decid
ing to extend the line at aost of SOOO,OOO,
lias been generally discussed among rail
road men, aud it is decidedly probable
that their intention will be car
ried out. General Manager Cecil
Gabbett of the Sam road was in the city
yesterday. He is enthusiastic over the
new movement and says tho extension is
certain to be made.
He was of the opinion that some at
tempt would be made to purchase the
laden extension, a part of the Savannah
and Western, between Meldrim and
Lyons, from the Central railroad, to
which it belongs. Of course if no satis
factory arrangement can bo made by
which this road can be obtained, Mr.
Gabbett says the extension will bo built.
it is an open question as to whether it
it would be to tiio Central's interest to
part with the laden extension. If it is to
be paralleled by the Sam road exten
sion, it might as well be sold to the latter,
as the large amount of traffic over this
branch comes from the Sam road.
Mr. Gabbett says the Sam road is cer
tain to get here iu one way or the other,
and if it can Dot obtain terminal facilities
from the Central, ho says thev will bo
furnished by the Savannah, Florida and
Western. The situation will be watched
with much interest by Savannahians.
The Central’s policy has been to hold all
the territory possible, and it remains to
1)0 seen which road will be forced to
terms, if either, or whether a competing
lino to the Eden extension is to be built.
HARD PUT FOR A GUN.
Boh Jones Robs a 13-Year-Old Boy of
One.
Bob Jones, colored, was lodged in the
barracks last night on a serious charge.
Jones made a daring attempt at highway
robbery at tho Central railroad depot on
West Broad street.
Mr. M. C. Shuman, who livoson Eighth
street stopped in front of the depot about
' oYinck vri! h Grant Uovi!l. a lu-.voar old
white boy who boards at the same liouso
with Mr. Shuman. The latter
had a double-barrel shotgun which
he gave to tho boy to hold,
while he, Shuman went across to the Ar
mour Packing Company's office to at
tend to some business.
While young Bevill was awaiting Mr.
Shuman’s return Jones came up and
asked to have a look at the gun. The hoy
unsuspectingly handed it over. Jones
took the gun and darted down Railroad
street as hard as ho could go.
Bevill gave the a arm and started the
cry of “stop thief.” Mr. Shuman
was just coining out • of the
Armour A Company’s office when
he heard the commotion and
saw a man running down the street
w’th a gun on his shoulder. He gave
pursuit and caught Jones some distance
beyond the end of tho Central railroad
shed. He took the gun away from him,
aud brought the man back. A crowd
of negroes gathered around Shuman
and demanded that he turn his prisoner
loose. The sight of the gun overawed
them, however, but they did not know it
was not loaded. Mr. Shuman turned
Jones over to Officer King, who was on
duty at the Central railroad depot, who
sent hin in to the barracks.
FINED TWENTY-FIVE APIECE.
The Lindßay Case Disposed of in
Police Court.
The recorder's court room was uncom
fortably crowded yesterday morning by
spectators interested in the Lindsay case
continued from Friday. John Wade,
John Kearney, John Carr and John Mor
ris were charged with assaulting T. S.
Lindsay. It was la o’clock before all the
testimony had been heard.
A largo number of the demi-monde was
present as witnesses and all testified
how badly the crowd had beaten Lindsay.
Some of tho women, it seems, were in
their rooms and saw the fight and told in
the best way they could that Wade had
struck Lindsay and that the others
crowded on him while he was down.
Other witnesses who where at tho
corner of South Broad and Houston
streets during the fight told a somewhat
different story. Tho four men were rep
resi nted by counsel who asked that the
court take in consideration the fact that
the testimony was, to say the least, most
conflicting.
Recorder Wilson fined the men *25 each
for disorderly conduct and turned them
over to the city court for assault and bat
tery.
BURIED AT BELLE VIEW.
The Body of the Late James Creighton
Laid to Rest.
The Christian name of the late Mr.
Creighton, who was found dead in his
house at his farm, was James.
Several gentlemen who had known the
deceased during his life, when they
learned of his death, proceeded to Belie
vievv. a eompanied by Coroner Dixon, and
assisted in interring the body on tho
premises, by the side of his brother. Will

Mr. Creighton was a native of Ireland,

MUST GET ANOTHER LICENSE.
No Chance for Mr. Carr to Get Back
His Old One.
Mayor McDonough informed a Morn i no
News reporter yesterday that his de
rision in the vase ol’ John Carr, whose
license he had revoked, was final, aud
that, tlie doclsiou vould not be reversed bv
| council.
Mayor McDonough is supported in his
| position by the opinion of the city attor
j lioy. Carr may, however, petition
th * council to grant him another
license, which it lias a light to do
under theordinanccs regulating the grant
ing of liquor licenses. This would bt an
entirely new license, however, an i would
cost Carr S2OO. which ais just the amount
i that he paid two months ago for the
license that lias been revoked by Mayor
, McDonough.
T:ie result of the revocation of Carr's
j license is that it will cost just .-mo to re
sume business in case tiie council is will
ing to grant him another.

THE MORNING NEWS: SENDAI, MARCH 4, 1894.
ONLY NINE HOURS A DAY.
The Street and Lane Force to be Con
* linued at Winter Hours.
A Lively Tilt In the Council Between
Alderman O’Brien and His Brother
Members of the Street and Lane
Committee Some Sharp Talk About
the Wages of the Workingmen—The
Council Overrules the Decision of a
Majority of the Committee and Sus
tains the Chairman.
The city council hal a lively and inter
esting discussion yesterday noon. It met
for the purpose of hearing the report of
the committee on dividing tho city into
election districts. The committee was
not ready to report, however, and several
minor matters of business were attended
to. The council would probably have ad
journed without any event of special in
terest had not Alderman O’Brien asked
tho privilege of making a statement
concerning a recent action of the street
and lane committee, of which he is chair
man.
Alderman O'Brien said that at tho be
ginning of the winter the committee had
found it advisable to reduce the working
time of the street forces from ten to nine
hours with a reduction of pay in piopoi*
tion. This was doue for two reasons, one
being the impossibility for the men to put
in a full day’s work during the winter
months, and the other the necessity for
economy in the department.
IT WORKED WELL.
Alderman O’Brien said that the nine
hour system had worked very satisfacto
rily. The city obtained good work and
was enabled to retain a larger number of
men in its employ, he said, at a less cost
than would have been the case if a ten
hour day with ten hours' pay had been in
force.
The alderman’s reason for bringing the
matter to the attention of council,
he said, was because at a rec fft
meeting of the street and lane
committee at which he was not present
the other four members of the commit-*
tee, Alderman Di:. on. Wells, Bohan and
McMillan, had unanimously' agreed to re
store the ten hour day. Alderman O’Brien
said he was opposed to this action of his
committee and desired to appeal to coun
cil. By continuing the nine hour’s day,
he said, the department would be en
abled to save over $3,000 which could be
expended advantageously during the
summer when there would be more idle
people than at present. The effect of the
nine hour day, Alderman O’Brien said,
was to cause a 10 per cent, reduction in the
wages of all the employes of the depart
ment, Those who had been getting $1.50,
which is full day’s pay of the majority of
tho employes, now received $1.35, con
sidering how many idle laborers there are
who would be glad to get work at this
price.
TO INCREASE EXPENSES.
Alderman O’Brien said he saw no rea
son why the expenses of the department
should be increased by goiug back to the
ten hour day.
There was a lively discussion of the
subject b,v Aldermen Wells, McMillan and
Bohan, the other members of the com
mittee. They argued that while Aider
man O'Brien was chairman of the com
mitteethe fact that four out of five mem
bers had agreed upon a certain plan
should have been sufficient and for the
chairman to appeal to council was hardly
showing proper courtesy to the other
members of tho committee. They also
argued that SI.BO a day was not
enough for a white workingman to
live upon and that as the city’s
streets need all the work that can be
given them and the employes are will
ing to work a full day and need the
money, they should be given the oppor
tunity to earn it. The question finally
came before council on the following
resolution by Alderman O’Brien:
Resol v ed, that tho present mode of em
ploying lai or in the street and lane de
partment, viz: at the rate of nine hours
per day, meets with the approval of
council and that the same continue."
AI.DERMAN O’BRIEN SUSTAINED.
An aye and nay vote was called for on
the resolution, which resulted as follows:
Ayes —Mills, Myers, O’Brien, Screven,
Charlton, Haines.
Nays McMillan, Wells, Folliard, Bo
han, Harris.
It was at first thought that it was a tio
vote, and Mayor McDonough was about
to cast the deciding vote against the reso
lution, when it was found that tiie reso
lution had passed by a majority of ono.
Alderman Wells declared that the
council might as well do away with the
street aud lane committee if the chairman
was to be allowed to overrule the decision
of all the other members.
"You can have my resignation at once,”
said Alderman O’Brien. "I have got
more work than 1 can attend to,
and my life is a burden with so
many people runing after me for jobs. 1
would like to get out.”
"Why not strike at some of the other
and higher paid departments?” said Aider
man Wells.
A nrr AT THE (IFHIOIALS.
“Why not odt down the salaries of the
officials, instead of those of the working
men. who are too poorly pai i already ?”
The question of pensioning policeman
who have served for a number of years on
tho force, aud who have become incapaci
tated for active duties by reason of such
service, was referred to tlie mayor and
police committee, to report upon at a
future meeting.
The council adjourned until to-morrow
afternoon at 5 o'clock, when it will hear
the report of tho committee on dividing
the city into election districts.

A Suit in Tennessee Postpones the
Sale of the M. and N. G. Kaiircad.
Mr. B. A. Denmark returned yesterday
from Atlanta, where he* went to repre
sent the Savannah bondholders of the
Marietta and North Georgia railroad.
There is quite a large amount of the
bonds held iu .Savanna li. among them be
ing about SOOO,OOO <if tne consolidated
mort gage and about $.00,000 of the first
mortgage. Savannahians. therefore, are
much interested iu ,ae progress ol the
case.
GJudge Newman, of the northern dis
trict court, lias been anxious for some
time lo ha e the matter disposed of. ft
has been hanging fire for some time,
and he was rather averse to postponing
the sale, but iiually ga e in when the
facts were presented and all part • s in
terested came to an agreement that it
was the best tiling to do.
’1 lie reorganization committee desired a
postponement of the sale on account of
an unexpected decree for a iar e amount
of money rendered in the United States
court in Tennessee, vvlii h required them
to put up a largo amount before the sale
of the property could be confirmed by the
court. Tho reorgunt ation comraitte and
its counsel feel satisfied of being able to
reverse this decree, tin account of this
decree and the chance of reversing it tho
counsel ior the bond holders and ail other
interests is practically agreed upon a
postponement of the sal : for thirty days.
Judge Newman, on this showing, con
seated to let the matter take that coarse.
It is probable that the sale will take
place April 2, unless some new and un
loreseen complications arise. The upset
price for the road is ri.450.000. That is
tho price at which it will probably be
bought iu by the reorganization commit
tee for tho bondholders, n url.y all the .se
curities of . the. property being in tiieir
hands. The court has set this price
as a minimum limit, and unless there is
some outside bidder it will probably go
at that figure. Some money is needed, of
course, to pay the expenses of the receiv
ership, aud the underlying indebtedness,
but the committee will arrange that if it
scour, s the property according to ils pres
ent intentions. The new securities will
be apportioned according to an arrange
ment already made. The consolidated
mortgage bonds, of which about $900,0n0
are held in Savannah, are worth in the
market somewhere between 15 and 40
cents on the dollar.
GONE TO THE GANG.
The City Court Criminal Docket Soon
Cleared.
Tiio city court was not long in getting
rid of the few cases on the docket yester
day morning. There were only four cases
to come up, and they were disposed of in
just half an hour.
Acting Solicitor F. P. Salas had charge
of the state’s side of the criminal busi
ness.
William Parr was sentenced to pay a
fine of $25 or serve four months on the
gang for stealing a lot of tools from Geo.
F. Wagner.
Jas. Ferguson obtained *75 from D. J.
Morrison on some wort .less checks which
he represented to beg >od. He went out
for twelve months for cheating and
swindling.
Wm. Smith, who stole some money
from the cash drawer in Mr. W. J.
Doyle’s store, wentout for twelvemonths.
Harry Turner went to the gang for
twelve months for stealing several
chickens from Ella White.
MR. ORME’S BOOK.
It is Entitled “Rev. David Devine,
D. D., and the Devil.”
Richard McAllister Orme, of this city,
is the author of a book entitled “Rev.
David Devine. 1). D . and tho Devil; or,
the Devil in His Own Defense.” The
price of it is 50 cents. The author claims
that it is the most original book of the
day. and he is about right. Dr. Devine
and the devil h.v a number of friendly
talks upon various sub.eets, and the
devil invariably gets the better of the
doctor. The dc.it is made to appear
much less black than he is painted, in
deed, lie creates the impression that he is
a greatly abused and misunderstood in
dividual. He gives an interpretation of
many tilings in the Biblo very different
from the generally accepted one.
The book is an entertaining one. and
shows that Mr. Orme has given a good
deal of thought to it.

TO PHOTOGRAPH CHINESE.
Savannah’s Chinese Must Register
With Uncle Sara.
The Geary Law Being: Enforced—A
Description and Photograph of
Every Chinaman in the Country to
Be Secured—The Chinese Have
Changed Their Minds and Make No
Objections to Rvg-iatering- Now.
Deputy Internal Revenue Collector
John A. Cobb, of Atlanta, will visit Sa
vannah soon for the purpose of register
ing the Chinese residents, as required by
the Geary law. N
The law has been in existence two or
three years, but was so strongly opposed
by the Chinese that tho revenue officials
found it practically impossible to enforce
it. The Chinese secured the aid of good
lawyers and fought it so strongly in the
courts that it was thought at one time
that they would have- it declared un
constitutional. The law was upheld
by the supreme court, however.
Recently a Chinese paper published in
Washington, whiclia ppears to be tho organ
of the race in this partof the country, ad
vised tlie Chinese to register at once, and
the internal revenue officials have had
their bands full since, recording the sig
natures of the Celestial residents and fil
ing away their photographs.
A CELESTIAL AUTOBIOGRAPHY.
Under the law, each Chinaman is re
quired to furnish two photographs of
himself and his signature, besides which
a general description of each Chinaman
is taken by the recording officials, to
gether with his account of himself, his
age, where he was born, what vessel he
came over in, how long he has been in
this country, and where he has lived and
what he has done with himself since com
ing here.

with tlie law may have been caused by
their fear that the Chinese population in
this country was increasing too rapidly,
and that those who are now here might
hnd that competition of their compatriots
would fce ton sharp to be profitable. It is
well known that iu spite of tlie efforts of
the government officials to prevent them
tlie Chinese are constantly making their
way into the country. They enter Vancou
vi r, British America, in large numbers
and make their way into this coun
try byslipping a toss the boundary line
from British Columbia.
COMING UP FROM TIIE SOUTH.
Within the last year or two they have
taken to coming up from Mexico, where
there are now large numbers of them.
T here is quite a large Chinese population
in the West indies, which rea ties there
by way of the Isthmus of Panama. From
jhe West indies they make their way
into 'he country, many coming on sailing
vessels and small fishing craft. Key
West is reported to be full of Chinese.
There were just twenty-two Chinese
in Savannah when tiie internal revenue
officials attempted to take.the census, over
a year ago. The number is not thought
to have materially increased since that
time. Only three or four of tne Chinese
complied with the law at that time.
There have been some changes in the law
since, and those who registered then will
be required to register over again. Re
corder H. E. Wilson is the deputy inter
nal revenue collector at thL point, but
fortunately for him this task does not fall
to his lot.

THE NANCY HANES
ONCE MORE RUNNING.
Welcome News to Many, Especially
Those of the Interior.
It was a sad blow to the “Pride of
Georgia,” when the “Old Reliable”
abandoned its famous fiyer.
Nancy Hanks was a synonym for all
that was speody and light and graceful,
and her record was well maintained.
What a pieasfint surprise, then, to once
more greet the Nancy Hanks aeain.
This was a train of wagons, however;
the new style introduced by the enter
prising Savannah Carriage ana Wagon
Company.
The new “Nancy Hanks” is a one-horse
farm, or more familiarly knowu as a
"Jersey” wagon, and painted in a rich
tuscan red, with wheels and running
parts in lemon, striped.
The name is tastefully branded on the
sides, and “Auburn” on the spring seat.
(Being that celebrated make of wagon.)
Orders have already been received
from all over the soutn, and attests to
their instant popularity, and like all
"Auburns,” are covered by the firm’s
iron clad guarantee.
T lie new “Nancy Hanks” is a pretty
and taking wagon, and the Morning
News extends greetings to this worthy
namesake of a brilliant predecessor.
May the now “Nancy Hanks” have a
quick aud long run.—aa.

MEETING OF MEAT EATERS.
Resolutions Adopted by Eplcurians
of Savannah.
At amening of the combined societies
for the promotion of. and development of.
health and happiness, held at the market
house last week, the leading ladies of the
city added their influence and approval of
the following resolutions:
"Whereas. It should be considered the
duty of every housekeeper to attend per
sonally to the provision of suitable food
for her family; and.
Whereas, There are numbers of estab
lishments which keep choice beef, mut
ton. i ork, sausages, poultry, game and
fish to be served to the public, it is,
“Resolved, Thai an investigation should
be held daily of all the good things which
are offered in the city market, aud pur
chase only meats which are first found to
be of superior excellence. To do this, it
is further
“Resolved, That as a large proportion
of those who appreciate the efforts of
butchers who take such interest in their
business as to supply the very finest goods
that can be found in the land, it would be
proper to seek those butchers out, and
having doue so. it is furthei
“Resolved. To make our purchases at
this place, where we will be sure that our
health and that of our families will be
promoted, and the delights of an excellent
dinner will be further enhanced.”
Before the aforesaid party of purchas
ers left the market they stopped at Lo
gan's corner stalls, at the Congress en
trance. and being so well pleased with
the grand exhioit, forthwith enrolled
their names as customers of that estab
lishment, and gave orders to supply their'
homes with some of the gooa things
which Logan offers to suit the tastes of
every one.—ad.

How to Speculats and Make Money
Out of Real Estate.
First. Secure a piece of property of
say 500 lots in a good location, on some
main thoroughfare leading from the city;
let it be well situated and surrounded by
growing improvements and where a street
railway is in operation or a dead certainty.
Second. Subdivide into building lots
lacing off wide streets, etc.
Third. Advertise and sell off 100. or
one fifth, of your lots at lowest possible
prices, even loss than they actually cost
you. and on the very easiest terms.
Fourth. Construct a system of under
ground watermains, artesian wells, tanks,
etc.
Fifth. Advance price of lots about 40
per cent.
Sixth. Build a number of good houses,
sell on long and easy terms, with small
interest.
Seventh. Advance price of lots again
about 40 per cent.
Eighth. Build more houses and con
tinue to improve the property in every
way possible, and advance the price of
lots about 10 per cent, every sixty days.
By following the abovo directions
hundreds gif men have made thousands
and even millions of dollars by developing
property in this way, and millions of men
aud women who have bought at first
prices offered have doubled and trebled
their money in a remarkably short time.
To invest in property at i.rst prices where
it is to be developed is better than a
savings bank. Jasper springs, on Bay
street extension, is going to be developed
by the abo.e plan, and will be carried
out to the letter. The first sale of lots
now on the market, and electric
railway has been completed and will bo
running now in a short time. Only one
hundred lots will be sold at tiio price
and terms offered, $250 and S3OO each,
$1 cash and $1 per week. Edw. W.
Brown. 107 Bay street, who controls the
sale of these lots, has already a list of
thirty sold the past week, and they are
increasing very rapidly. Do you want
one;—ad.
