• ribntol for Charily in Savannah
to i'ar' for All the W orthy Poor al
the City if If We re Properly
Directed.
The work of the citizens’ relief com
mittee has given it an insight into the
workings of the charitable societies and
ha.-, shown the need for system and or
ganization in the work.
Mr. J. M. Solomons, an active member
of the committee, and who has interested
himself in charitable’ work for many
years, in a talk with a Morning News re
porter yesterday, gave some idea of the
present methods and how they could be
improved upon.
"The present need in this work." said
Mr. Solomons, "is for an association of
united charities. All the charitable as
sociations in the city should come to
gether under one head in order that they
may systematize their work and carry
it on to better advantage. There are
enough charitable institutions and so
cieties in Savannah and enough people
interested in this work and enough money
contributed to charity from various
sources to take care of all the worthy
needy poor in the city, if their work
were only systematized."
"As it is now,” said Mr. Solomons, “be
sides the several charitable institutions
where aid is given to outsiders, each
church has its own charitable society,
there are several bands of the Kings
Slaughters and several charitable socie
ties Independent of church control. The
result is that the workers of these so
cieties cover the same ground in their
work to a great extent. There are any
number of people in Savannah who make
a business of subsisting upon charity and
they regularly call upon every charitable
institution from which they can secure
aid. They are careful to conreat the fact
when applying for aid that they have al
ready been aided by other societies.
"The rrsult of the present lack of sys
tem is to encourage mendicancy while
deserving persons In distress are fre
quently overlooked. Persons of any re
ttmunent will not seek aid if they can
possibly avoid doing so. I have In
mind now a case of a family which was
supposed to he in good cireumstancos by
its acquaintances, but was really in desti
tution. They were finally compelled to
make their situation known to a friend,
who made the circumstances known to
several charitable persons and their needs
were supplied. If there was a recognized
organization, directing the work of all
the charitable societies there would be no
need for parties in such circumstances
to hesitate to apply for aid.
"It Is not my idea that the present
charitable societies should give up their
separate organizations," Mr. Solomons
said. "They should all combine under
one central head though with a regular
set of officers. There should be a sec
retary and treasurer at a small salary.
AH contributions for the relief of the
poor made by the city and all general
contributions made by private persons
could be turned over to this organization
for distribution. The city could then be
divided into districts and committees reg
ularly assigned to look after each dis
trict. Regular reports should be required
of these committees and the nunifs of
persons aided and amounts given them
recorded. This would prevent parties
from seeking aid from half a dozen
sources and those who make a practice
of living upon charity would soon be
found out. If the Catholic, Jewish.
Episcopalian and other societies preferred
to look out for their own people the com
mittees could simply be instructed to re
port the names of persons belonging to
each class to the society of that church.
"These are only some ideas which have
occurred to me," said Mr. Solomons. “If
anyone will undertake to outline a plan
ill detail 1 will be very glad to hear from
them. Other cities have organized chari
table associations and Savannah certainly
needs one. With such an organization
those who wished to give and who were
not onnected with any church or society
would know' where to direct their contri
butions. It is not only money, but sup
plies and clothing which are needed In
this work. There are hundreds of persons
who have good clothing which they do
not care to wear longer who would gladly
turn it over for distribution to the poor
if there were a recognized organization
always ready to receive It. In a nut
shell my idea Is to establish a headquar
ters or bureau for charitable work.”
\T THE DOG SHOW.
Five Tlion.saiul People Witnessed
Y**terly’* Performanee*.
Five thousand people witnessed Prof.
Gentry’s dog and pony show at Bolton
and Price streets yesterday afternoon and
last night. The tent was crowded at
both performances. The orphans from
the various asylums attended the mati
nee.
Prof. Gentry’s Is one of the most pop
ular entertainments that comes to Savan
nah, and during the last three seasons
It has been here it has been witnessed by
thousands of people. Nearly every boy
and girl in the city can tell about it.
One of the new features of the show
this year is the big monkey, which is the
center of attraction among the animals,
to-day and to-morrow will be
the only days this show will be seen In
Savannah this season. To-night’s per
formance will be at 8 o’clock. The mati
nees are at 2:30 o’clock.

..T'k* TOost famous American authoritv on

means in plain English that consequences
i are m °st deadly when dampness
is followed bv sudden cold. How often
of weather has pre
vailed this winter is shown by the of
ficial statistics of grip.
people know how to strengthen
themselves after the grip. They will ob
serve the usual precaution necessary in
our fickle winter, and they will promptly
correct any bodily ailment, no matter
small it If. A trifling chill, a cough
and festive achos in th.- back and shoul
ders linger long, sometimes, after an at
tack of grip.
They will not be followed by permanent
weakness if the body is warmed and all
Its latent energies are roused by that best
of all stimulants. Duffy’s Pure Malt
uhirkey. Skin, lungs. and bow
els are quick to feel the good effects of
this whiskey. Those who have been
stricken by the grip remember how this
stimulant has turned them on the road to
health.
It is the crowning merit of Duffy’s Pure
Malt Whiskey that puts the body in a
state of defense. Giddiness and headache
in the morning and tendency to take cold
easily are overcame by this remedy.
Strength and buoyancy supplant weak
ness and depression, so that the dreaded
grip leaves no trace behind.
The old saw “forewarned, forearmed”
w'ould never have lived so long if it were
not a gem of wisdom. It applies with
great force to the speedy recovery of
grip by means of Duffy s Pure Malt Whis
key.

The treasury department is calling for
bids for the building of the new revenue
launch to be called Tybee for this port.
The bids will bo received up to March 20.
Tho new launch will lake the place of
the Discover and will be somewhat
larger in dimensions, on the order, it is
understood, of the Guthrie at Baltimore.
The Discover is one of the oldest of
the vessels of the revenue marine service,
having been built in 1869. But four or
five were built before that. The Discover
has done splendid service, but has about
seen her day.

The Frost Bitten Convict*.
Editor Morning News: You publish in
the News of Feb. 23 the report of the in
vestigation by the commissioners in the
matter of the frost-bitten convicts.
The usual safe conclusion is reported,
that “no one is to blame," and the out
rage is apparently to go unpunished. The
humano people of Savannah must be ex
tremely amiable if they quietly submit
to such a decision. We are told that
some of the commissioners blame llaj.
Blandford. and that others blaipe the
Hughes brothers; it is, therefore, very
evident that all three were in a degree
guilty, and should not be whitewashed.
If Maj. Blandford was negligent, his r -g
--lect should be recognized and means taken
to prevent any such negligence in the fu
ture- and if the Hughes brothers have
been cruel they should be punished to the
full extent of the law. If a suit could be
brought against the county commission
ers themselves, and they were held per
sonal!)- responsible in this matter, they
would find out very quickly where the
real blame lay. In the meantime, how
ever, the fact remains that an infamous
piece of cruelty ahd brutality has been
perpetrated, which is a disgrace and a
shame to our city. This matter should
not bo allowed to drop here. There is too
much of that sort of thing going on, and
justice and humanity demand that those
people who had those unfortunate men in
charge should be made public examples
of Cannot the newspapers take up this
matter? fair Play.

March 20, at 4 o’clock In the afternoon,
the sun will arrive at the vernal equinox
and the days and nights then will be of

of the moon will occur, visible throughout
this country, in 73th meridian time as

The first contact will occur on the
moon’s eastern limb 12S degrees from the
north point, and the last contact on the
western limb 69 degrees from the north
point of the moon. The full moon will be
totally obscured when high in the heavens,
and altogether tho phenomenon will be
a rare and interesting one. Every one
should make It a point to witness it.
On the 26th there will be a partial eclipse
of the sun, visible in the North Atlantic.
It will not be visible in the south.
This shy pla*net, Mercury has Just
passed Us inferior conjunction, and on the
24th it will attain its greatest western
elongation, at which time it may be seen
as morning star, just a head of the sun
at day break. On the 23d the moon will
pass within one-third of a degree of Mer
cury, but the conjunction will take place
in the evening when the planet Is invisible
to us.
Venus Is now rapidly taking her place
as queen of the evening sky, and low', in
the west just after sunset her resplendent
beams may be seen struggling wdth the
d£nso atmosphere near the horizon. Its
altitude and brilliancy will continue to in
crease every evening far several months,
during which time it will be the most
prominent object in the western heavens.
The telescope shows Venus now to have a
crescent shape, indeed, this planet under
goes all the phases of the moon in its
journey around the sun. On the evening
of the 28th the new inoon will make a
pretty conjunction with Venus, passing
about four degrees to the north.
If the observer will turn his eyes to the
Pleiades or Seven Stars, high up in the
south at dark and a little past the meri
dian, he will see a bright red star about
two degrees to the southeast of this group,
which is slowly changing its position from
night to night. This red star is the planet
Mars, which not many months ago, was
attracting so much attention among as
tronomers, on account of its near ap
proach to the earth at that time. It is
now much farther away from us, and is
still receding. The planet Neptune is also
very near the same group, about three
degrees distant from Mars, but invisible,
as it always is, to the naked eye. The red
star to the east is Aldebaran in Taurus.
Jupiter crosses the meridian at 7 o'clock,
and is by far the most conspicuous object
in that part of the heavens. The only
other star that rivals it is Sirius, or the
Dog Star, farther to the south. Jupiter is
now in the constellation Taurus, and In
splendid position for observation. The
telescope always reveals beauty and in
terest when turned upon this gigantic
world. More than thirteen hundred time3
as large as our earth, it swings majesti
cally in space with its five moons revolving
around it in even varying positions. The
discovery of these moons, it wdll be re
membered, was the first triumph of the
telescope, and tho potent witness that
swept from the human mind the fallacious
doctrine of Ptolemy.
Saturn and Uranus are in the constella
tion of Libra, now nearly on the opposite
side of the sun from us. Their great dis

observation of them for several weeks yet.

of those is a beautiful double. About 20
degrees to the west of Capella is the
wonderful variable Algol, which is reg
ularly eclipsed by a durk companion. On
the meridian In the south is the constel
lation Orion, the richest quarter of the
sky' for the telescope. The three stars in
a line is called the Belt, and because they
form a line nearly three degree* long it
Is sometimes called the Astronomer's Yard
Stick. It is a convenient approximate stan
dard of measure in estimating distances
between the stars. Just below the Belt
are three other faint stars, the central
one of w hich is the nucleus of the cele
brated nebula In Orion, justly considered
the greatest marvel in the heavens. A
telescope will reveal Its faint nebulosity
extending over an enormous area.
The large bright star east of Orion is
Sirius, or the I'og Slur, so celebrated In
Egyptian history. It is by far the bright
est of the fixed stais, and Its size has
been estimated to be 1,000 times as great
as our sun. The ancients described it as
a red star; its color is now distinctly
white. It has a small companion revolv
ing around It in about forty-nine years
at a distance twenty-eight times the sun’s
distance from the earth, and yet so near
Sirius does it appear that only the largest
telescopes can separate the two. Sirius
is receding from us at the rate of twenty
miles per second, and it requires seven
teen years for its light to reach us.

NH. DALE'S FIGIHUS OF SPEECH.
Sonu* Kciihoiim Why the Meridian
Bond Should He Unlit,
The Meridian Road nnd Vernon Shell
Road, Savannah, Ga., Feb. 27.—Editor of
the Morning News.—ln the “Savannah
Press’’ of to-day appear some statements
purporting to have been uttered by Mr.
Dale concerning the Meridian road, which,
I think, should also be examined In the
lljfht of facts, that they may be properly
weighed.
Mr. Dale Is quoted as saying: “Why, we
have got enough right-of-way to buy (for
the Meridian road), from people who would
like fancy prices, to cost the county $200,-
000 for that alone.** us see; the pro
posed length of the Meridian road is six
and three-fourth miles; its width of right
of way Is sixty-six feet; this will give eight
acres to the mile, or flfty-four acres for the
whole length; of these about twenty-four
have been absolutely acquired and I am
told that only SSO was paid, and that was
to a poor colored man, through whose
small tract the road passes, and for which
the commissioners preferred to pay rather
than ask him to donate it. Several acres
more have been promised, but not yet
formally deeded to the country, but leav
ing these out and counting only those that
l ave been acquired, there would he thirty
acres of right-of-way which, according to
Mr. Dale, is “to cost the county $200,000 for
that alone.” Six thousand, six hundred
sixty-six dollars, sixty-six and two-third
cents per acre! Can It he believed? Surer
ly this must be one of Mr. Dale’s “figures
of speech.” It evidently can be supposed
so, as he Is quoted again, In another place:
“To buy this right-of-way, build the road
which is sixty-six feet wide and shell it
would not, I believe, cost less than $50.-
000.” My estimate to build, complete and
shell the road in u first class manner
throughout its entire length will cost from
$23,000 to $26,000. For argument, let us take
the larger sum, $26,000; this, from Mr.
Dale’s estimate of $50,000 wbuld leave $21,-
000 for the right-of-way for thirty acres,
or SBCO per acre! Isn’t this a little steep?
Surely if land is worth that much along
the line of the Meridian road tt would
be the best argument possible to build
and even macadamize it. But let us look
a little further into this matter of the re
maining thirty acres, most of which, I be
lieve, will J)e freely donated when the
people think the commissioners are
in earnest about building the
road. About sixteen acres of this
lie south of the county lands, between
the Montgomery crossroad and Bethesda,
is it to be supposed that this land is worth
over $6,666 per acre, or $800? It is very
probable the owners would give the right
of way through, to get the road built, so
that It would be developed. North of the
county lands there are about three acres
to acquire to get the right of way to Wat
ers road and nearly evpry foot of this has
been promised. North of the Waters
road several rights of way have been
promised and there may not be much
difficulty to acquire the remainder. Only
a little energetic effort Is needed.
As to the lands immediately contigu
ous to the road that will be benefitted
the public domain of the county and the
new city park will include nearly one
third as the road will extend two miles
through them, thus greatly enhancing
the common property of all the citizens.
As to the relative number who would
use the Meridian road when it is built
and those who would use the Vernon
shell road it Is not necessary to dwell
upon this part of his statement. The res
idents of Thunderbolt, Jsle of Hope, Cedar
Hammock, of JJethi la and Shipyard, of
Beaulieu and Montgomery and all the
people living between these places and In
the surrounding country w’ill cheerfully
answer him. There are a goodly number
now using the Vernon shell road who
will not use it when the Meridian road
is built—there are also a goodly number
who will continue to use It even after
some of whom, for instance,are those
having property on living on or near the
Buckhalter road, but these latter, in
comparison even now, are so few that I
hardly think as many people travel that
road in a week as pass along a mile of
the Meridian road in a single day. W’ould
it not be “the greatest good for the great
est number” to build the Meridian road?
