6 TO FINISH UP THE BUDGET. IT MW GO TO THE CO! MIL IT ITS SETT MEETING. All of the Department* Wl In -rcn*el Appropriation* and, the Alilrrmcn Huvlna a Hard TliaePro vldlng lor Them—Several Hitherto latninl Privilege* to He Included In the Tat Ordinance—'Talk of the loaimlulam. . • The city council will hold another meet ing Tuesday nlgflt as committee of the whole to consider the budget. It is possi ble that the budget may be completed then and presented to council at its meet ing the night following. Mayor Myers said yesterday that there are so many new improvements demand ed with no great increase of revenue in prospect council is finding it a very knot ty problem to solve how to provide for ail the needed and various improvements Nearly all the regular departments want Increased appropriations, while there is a heavy demand for street paving, street opening and extension of water, lights, Are and police in the southern section of the city. The tinance committer* has been cast ing its eye about for untaxed privileges, and it is understood that there will be several new sections in the tax ordi nance as a result, placing specific taxes on businesses which have hitherto es caped without the payment of a license. In answer to a question the mayor said that none of tne commissioners and other appointments provided fur by the recent acts of the legislature will be announced Wednesday night. He received a telegram from Atlanta yesterday morning notify ing him that the Monroe bill making al dermen eligible to appointment to office by the mayor, consequent upon their re signing upon the a ceptanee of the ap pointment, had been signed by the gov ernor and is now a law. This wil enable the mayor to put any alderman on a commission who is will ing to give up his place In council. It is ttossibie that two or three vacancies may be created in council as a result, llesldes the public works commissionership. there are the three assessors’ places, which have salaries attached. One of these will like ly be sn alderman. Then some of the al dermen might prefer a six year term as fire or police commissioner, to only one year more in council. The tax asses sors* hill, as passed by the legislature, lives the mayor ihe right to name the tax assessor, who is also to be the clerk of the board. HIKER CHARITY PATIENTS. A Woman Who nought Lottery Tick et* YVith Her Charity Money. It is a fact, and it may not be such a gtrange one, after all, that there are many paupers, beneficiaries of the county and others, who, while they endeavor not to let it become known, prefer to have money, however little It may be, rather than the. necessaries of life, which are often given them, and which they often dispose of in order to get a few cents to use for other purposes. Few instances are noticed in cases where charity Is dispensed privately, because Individuals do not often take any* trouble to investigate as to the character of the applicants. Usually when they are sus picious they refuse to give, otherwise they take it for granted that everything is all right. The same Is not true In the case of the dispensation of charity from the public funds. Not only Is each applicant inves tlgateij before tne name goes on the list, but a watch is kept as far as possible in order that the names of those who are unworthy to receive may be kept off the list. There are no doubt some who are In clined to drink and who spend the money they receive from the county In this man ner. depending upon what they can beg in the way of food to keep them alive. Many of them trade their groceries tor clothing or whatever else may suit their fa'ncy,while several of them have been know to sell the wood of which they have claimed they were In need to keep away the cold. In a recent case of this kind a woman's name was scratched from the ligt because it was found that she had been selling the wood given her and us ing'the money for other purposes. Perhaps the most unique case Is that of a woman who appeared to be In dire need and who was the beneficiary of the coun ty to the extent of $1.50 every month, all of which or a greater part of it she in vested regularly in lottery tickets. It Is not recorded whether she ever held the lucky numbor, but the disposition she made of her money was soon discovered and her name too, went off the list. Of course, it is never desired to slight those who are really needy, and no action Is usually taken until the applicant's ac tions show conclusively that he or she Is unworthy of the aid given, but the fact that there is a little imposition in this line Is undoubted and a close watch is kit In order that the county charity lists t y be kept as clear as possible of imposteis.

The attendance was about one-tenth of what It should have been, to be In keeping with the merit of the star and his excellent company. At the matinee His Grape de Grammont was played to a fair house. It is unnecessary to commend Otis Skinner. But for the benefit of theater-goers in nearby cities soon to be visited by him, It may be re peated that Mr. Skinner is in fine form and voice, auid is supported by a very strong company. The Princeton University Glee, Banjo and Mandolin Clubs will start on their annual Christmas tour to-morrow. Their concert in this city will be given Thurs day night In the Guards' hall. The clubs this year are larger than ever. The man dolin and Banjo Clubs are well trained and have already attracted general attan tion on account of their unusual excel lence. The Glee Club, also, Is vary strong. The Philadelphia Press says: "Last year the Princeton Glee Club special train toured more than 4,000 miles at Christmas time, going west to Denver, and chorus ing the praises of "Old Nassau" under the snowy battlements of Pike's Peak. This year the line of travel will be toward the southland and the orange. Black will wave In Florida where no college glee club has yet Journeyed.” The club this year travel, as usual, in a special train consisting of three private cars, one pull maxi car and a baggage car. They run on their own schedule. The organization this year includes fifty-seven men, the largest and best club ever sent out from "Old Nassau.” The local concerts of the glee club have been held at Trenton, Mor ristown, Princeton and New Brunswick, and all have been eminently successful and enjoyable. The ladles of the St. John’s Church Rectory Society will give a novel enter tainment at the Guards’ hall Tuesday night. Those taking part will be attired In old style dresses and costumes, and the hall will be made to represent, as nearly as possible, an old-time New Eng land country store house, lighted en tirely with candles.

Beckwith, chairman, promises to give the opera In as elaborate a manner a3 possible, spar ing no money or pains in its production. To accomplish a rendition In keeping with the plans laid out by the committee, a large chorus is necessary, at least 30 sopranos, 10 altos, 15 tenors and 15 bassos. As there are ninety-five names on the roll of the operatic association, It should not be difficult to get together seventy of them. It Is desired that at least that number turn out to rehearsal Tuesday night. The committee promises the par ticipants a good time and the public a splendid entertainment.

HRI NSWlt'ti’S BUDGET. V. but I* Going on io til" Bu> City by lit** 4r. Brunswick, Ga.. Dec. 14.—The grand Jury have visited S Bimon* Islam. . i a body, inspecting th< work being done by the county in draining the ponds there, which lave heretofore been a menace to the health of cottagers. They were satisfied with the work being done and will so r-port. It has been an open secret for years that intoxicating liquors are sold at the hotel on Bt. Simons, as well as at various other places near the hotel and other parts of the island. Each year there have been rumors tha: Glynn's grand jurors would Indict this one ana that one. and rake the hotel management, but usu ally these rumors ended In nothing, the members themselves steming to recognize the fact that liquor selling Is essential to a seacoast resort as salt water Is, and being satisfied to let It go at that. This grand Jury, however, evidently thinks it necessary to rake the hotel people and others and have started out on that line. The result will be the exploding of a gigantic bluff that has been worked for years on the ignorant and poorer element of St. Simons liquor sellers to the elfect that a state law made especially to prohibit selling on the island Is constitutional. Eminent attorneys *ay it Is not, although fears of it have caused many not to sell that would have otherwise. The better informed residents of the islands do not want the law tested, but as the hotel people have got money to test any fight being made on them some fun may be expected. One grand juror claims that the county will be benefitted by an explo sion of popular belief about the law as the county can take hold of the saloons con trol and exact a revenue from them should the act be unconstitutional. The attendance and interest In Sunday school work is Increasing in Brunswick. Each will have a Christmas tree or enter tainment. Supt. George W. Haines and Engineer Fitzsimmons of the Plant system have been down inspecting the new depot building and other improvements of their line. They were satisfied. At a recent meeting of the stockholders of the South Brunswick Terminal Rail road Company tbe directors were author ized to Issue ssoo,ut worth of bonds. At torney Crovatt states that there will be a meeting of the directors in Brunswick shortly to arrange for the issue. Owing to his removal to Atlanta for ! thirty days or more, Junior Lieut. J. O. I Stiles of the naval reserves will not be ] a candidate for re-election. The com pany will get together artd decide on ! some member for the vacancy shartly. The King’s Daughters are working seal- i ously to make the Christmas Of the poor ! of Brunswick a merry on* To do this contributions have been asked for from individuals In any shape they may see fit to make and a few (Jays be fore Christmas a suitably locat ed store will be opened for the reception of goods. Both local branches of the King’s Daugh ters have united in the work this year and they expect to carry much gladness into the hearts of tho Brunswick destitute and needy. Last year a considerable number of families were not supplied, but It is hoped that none will have to be omitted thiH Christmas. A. A. Lane will spend the Christmas hol idays in Cuba. A trio of very attractive young ladles visiting Brunswick now are the recipients of much social attention. They are Mtss Minnie Gumpert of New York, guest of Mrs. M. Kaiser, and Misses Greenwood of Macon, guests of Mrs. L. Greenwood. The Ladies’ Eight O’clock Club will be reorganized after th holidays. This has been a very prominent factor In Bruns wick's social circles. Miss Emmie Scarlett of Fancy Bluff is visiting relatives here. In to-day’s Issue of the Morning News appears an arttole relative to the rail road and schedule over the Southern and the arrival of the News In Brunswick. The Morning News correspondent! was to-day Informed by Secretary Ogg of the board of trade that the Southern people | had more than granted the requests of , that body In regard to schedules and had i given Brunswick the best schedule ever run here. Telegrams to local newsdeal ers also announce that hereafter the News will arrive here on the Southern at 7:15 a. m.. Instead of 12:40 as at present. Beth announcements will gratify Brunswicklans. The new sche dule. which goes into effect to-day, does not Interfere with the ones now in force, but is additional to it and for thq winter months only. A train leaves here at 6:23 a. m., connects for Jacksonville. Train leaving at 6 p. m. connects for Savannah. These connections are at. Everett City. Trains come this way from Everett, leav ing there at 7:2a a. m., With passengers from Savannah, and p. m. with pas sengers from JacksohvUle.

THE CORPSE CAME TO LIFE. Mill Recover, Although Supposed to Be Dead for Two Days. From the Philadelphia Record. Wllkesbarre, Pa., Dec. s.—There was a very much surprised undertaker at Dur yea this morning. On Tuesday Mrs. Samuel Remen died and Undertaker Roon of Pltteton was called In by the family. He measured the body In the usual style, put crepe on the door, and this morning, as it was necessary to keep the body until the arrival of some rela tives, he prepared to embalm It. He bathed the body with warm water and then applied cold water, when te his sur prise and horror the supposed corpse sat bolt upright.

LI lluiiu ( linns'* Opinion With Ko- Knril lu Onr Drfcnan. From the Chicago Record. Washington, D. C.,' Dec. s.—Senator Squire's remarks about the defenseless condition of our coast reminds me of, what I.i Hung Chang said last summer on the same subject. In my several conversa tions with him he repeatedly intimated that the government of the United States 1 wtyild have intervened in behalf of China during the late war but for the fact that we were afraid of Japan. He made this remark so often that I became irritated and asked him if he was serious or merely stroke in Jest. He replied that he was en tirely serious; that he sincerely believed that President Cleveland’s policy concern ing the Hawaiian islands and his attitude toward Japan was due to a fear lest the Japanese government might declare war against iho United States. I told him that he suggestion was preposterous; that no such idea had over entered the Presi dent s mind, and I did not think that any single member of the 65,ui0,000 that make up the population of this country had ever dreamed of fear of Japan or any other of the Asiatic nations. 1 asked him how such a thought entered his mind. “Your government and your people are very unwise,” he responded, "if they are not thinking of such things, particular ly since the events that have occurred in China during the last year. The Japan ese are a very aggressive people. They are a warlike people. They like to tight, and they are proud and arrogant. They do not care for the United States except as a market for their silk and tea, and if your government ever interferes with their plans either at home or in the Sandwich islands you will And that their friendship Is only a pretense they keep up to en courage your trade. If President Cleve land had responded to my appeal for In tervention during the late war Japan would have sent her army and her ships from our harbors to your country and would have taken possession of your Pa cific states. President Cleveland knew that, because he is a far-sighted man, and therefore would not show himself the friend to either Japan or China.” I tried to explain tc 1.1 the traditional PQliey of the United States In foreign af fairs, and quoted for his beueflt George Washington's warning agaffist entang ling alliances. I told him that the United States was afraid of no nation on earth and was willing at any time to fight Japan or England or Germany or any other of the great powers If It were necessary to defend our honor or our dignity. But our people did not believe In war; the pub lic sentiment of the United States was in favor of the settlement of international disputes by arbitration, and that we al ways endeavored to mind our own busi ness. when a friendly nation called upon us for assistance, or when two friendly nations got Into a row we usually offered her good offices to arrange a reconcilia tion, but the people would not approve fumed interference In foreign affairs. President Cleveland had offered to act as an arbitrator In the settlement of the differences between China and Japan, but he would not take sides with either nation, not from rear of Japan, but because It would be a violation of the traditions and the policy fit the United States govern ment. The viceroy sneered in a contemptuous manner and said: “Japan has an army of over 200,000 soldiers, and the beet guns (u the world. She haa a larger and better fleet of worehlpe than the United Stales. She has ten times as many torpedo-boats as your government and her sailors know how to use them, while your sailors do not. You have only five ships on the Pacific coast, with a coast line of 3,000 miles to protect, and several populous and wealthy cities that have no defense whatever. N ou have no forts at San Francisi-o that could keep out the weaftoet gunboat in the navy of Japan and a single ship of the Japanese navy could destroy every city op Puget sound without the slightest difficulty in a week. I have studied the map and I have talked with weeple from your country and I know all about It. It would take you six months to get any kind of a fleet around to protect your Pacific coast, and you could not load them with coal enough to keep their fires going during tho voyage from New Yerk to San Francisco. Your whole PavUlo ooast is entirely defenseless, and President Cleveland Is very wise In declining to be mixed up in a row with Japan, u Japan should declare war against the United States she could have every soldier In ber array and every ship in her navy op vour coast within a month. She would take possession of all your cities and your railroads and your gold and sli ver mines ana your manufactories and would hold them until you paid her n.uy amount of indemnity she might oak. Pres ident Cleveland knows that as Troll as I do and for that reason he did not Interfere in our war." I told the viceroy that while his de scription of the defenseless condition of eur ooast yeas undoubtedly true, there would be 1.060,000 men on the Pacific coast to meet the Japanese army and fleet when it arrived there. 'Tnat may be so,” be interrupted, with some impatience, “but what could they do without guns or fortifications or any other means of defense? You might throw sticks and stones at the Japanese, like a lot of old women, but any one of their vessel# could bombard San Francisco and destriy the entire city before you could get cannon tnere to defend If. And, what could your cannon do against the long range guns of the Japanese fleet? 'rtielr vessel# could stand out ten miles at sea and throw shells of dynamite into San Francisco until the city was entirely de stroyed. Their vessel could go up into Puget Sound and burn Tacoma and Se attle and Other cities, and they could senu torpedo boats up the Columbia river to Portland and set that city on fire before you could do anything to protect. You cannot get a big cannon made in a few days, and you cannot build a fort in a month.” This is the way our national defenses look to a Chinaman. The vloeroy spoke earnestly, and while his cofteluslons are amusing, the premises from whlc.h he derived them are worthy the serious con sideration of congress. Rank Vaults. From an Exchange. The greatest financial Institution In the world, the B&nk of England, transacts Its business ln a low, squatty building, which to a visitor accustomed to the stately edifices in which tha banks of our great cities do tbelr business, must seam a striking example of arrested architectu ral growth. Th* contrast finds Its ex planation ln the fact that tha Bank of England antedates In Its greatness the construction of fire-proof vaulta. The In genuity of the burglar may still find a way to break through and steal, but the fiend of fire is baffled. It Is no longer nec essary for safety to isolate the bank and refuse to allow tho same roof to shelter other tenants. Recently a fire Occurred ia New York city which again demon strated. as did the great fire in Chicago, the security afforded by the modern vault. A Are occurred which left the Empire State Bank building a heap of debris. Its vaults contained a million dollars in pa per money and securities, and all carae out as unscathed as did the three friend* of Daniel. The same was true of the Manhattan Savings Bank. Not less than three millions of paper kept cool and clean in the vaults which that fire cov ered with ashes. Tennyson says, “blessings on the man who firßt found out the mall,” and with no less emphasis it might be said, bless ings en the man who first found the fire proof bank vault. If by some miracle these vault* were deprived of their fire proof quality a veritable bankers’ panic would ne produced. They are as essen tial te modern hanking a* the art of print ing is to the dissemination of intelligence. AS TO FIREWORKS.
