Hopes to Be Able to Return Soon.
Mrs. W. F. Brunner, who has just ar
rived in the city from Havana with her
children, is hoping that she will he n'!e
to return and rejoin Dr. Brunner there
within a short time.
Mrs. Brunner's departure from Havana
was due altogether to the uncertainty of
the situation there, and it is her hope that
a more settled state of affairs wi.l soon
allow her return. Her departure was
quite a sudden one, she having left on the
Plant steamship Olivette a week ago yes
terday, within two hours of the time that
she decided to come home.
When seen yesterday by a representative
of the Morning News. Mis. Brunner did
not care to taik of the situation in Ha
vana from a political stund|K>int. She
spoke of the newspaper riots of about
three or four weeks ago, which were the
cause of considerable excitement in the
city, and after these the people * litre did
not know what was coming next.
Things had become com|>arative!y quiet,
she said, though she fell momentarily as
did some others, that something was go
ing to happen. Dr. Brunner and Mrs.
Brunner and the children were at home
at the time of Ihe explosion on the Maine,
and of'couise, for the moment, they did
not know what to make of it. Grn. Blanco
had just returned to the |>alaee of the
captain general, and with spme the sup
position was that enemies had blown It
up. The greatest excitement prevailed for
some time, she said, and this was not
abated by the discovery of the fact that
the explosion had destroyed the United
States battleship.
But little more than a week before the
explosion Mrs. Brunner had visited the
battleship in Havana harbor, and met n
number of the officers, among th< m Lieut.
Jenkins, one of the two officers who lost
their lives at their i>osls. Mrs. Brunner
spoke with much sympathy over the death
of this officer, and also of the death of
Ensign Brecke.n ridge. who was washed
overboard from the torpedo iioat Cushing
and drowned a short time before.
While there were no immediate fears,
Mrs. Brunner said, the uncertainly of the
situation and unsettled state of affairs led
Dr. Brunner to the conclusion that it was
best for herself and children to return to
the United States. They came to Key-
West first, where they spent a few days,
and took the next steamer for Tampa,
from w-here they came direct to Savannah.
Mrs. Brunner said there was no extra
ordinary excitement in Havana at the
time she left, except such as is usual un
der the present circumstances. She had
heard all sorts of opinions expressed in
connection with the situation, hut she did
not care to say anything with regard to It
for publication. Mrs. Brunner says she
is hoping to rec Vive a letter any day which
will tell her that she can come back to
Havana.
CIRCLE HAS A HOUSE WARMING.
King,'* Dniiulitcrs Heady to Open It
to Mothers on MuiVh 1.
The day nursery established by the
King's Daughters of Savannah, in the
support of which the twelve circles are
combined, opened its new quarters yester
day at No. 11 York street, west, prepara
tory to starting work In earnest March 1.
The King's Daughters have maintained
the Creche in Yamacraw for the last tlree
months, but there it did not develop into
the institution which they wanted it to be.
The daily attendance of infants left there
while their mothers were employed away
from home was about five. It did not In
crease, and the proper interest was not
taken in It.
Knowing the institution to be a good
one. and one which should prosper anil do
good work, the ladies deckled to get ether
quarters, more centrally located, quarters
that will he at once convenient and at
tractive. Accordingly, they secured 'he
small residence at No. 11 York street,
west, and are preparing to equip an in
stitution that promises to do much good
work.
The ladles in charge gave an opening
yesterday, which was attended by many
who are interested in the movement. Re
freqfiments were served, and articles were
sold, anfl quite a little sum was taken in
to help the work along.
But what the ladies want now is aid In
fitting u[i their little home. They need cots
bedding, furniture and small donations of
this kind, but particularly do they need
cots, and they will be most appreciative of
anything in this line that Is sent to them.
While they are ready to begin their work,
they need considerable yet in the way of
furnishings in order to carry it on prop
erly. The charity is one that will appeal
to many hearts, and the Institution will
doubtless soon be supplied with full equip
ment and furnishings.
Mrs. Susan Etheridge will be in charge
of the day nursery as matron. She goes
• here with the strongest recommendations
from the ladies of the Louisa Porter Home,
and is familiar to a great extent with the
work she has to do. No pains will be
spared to make it comfortable and attrac
tive, and the ladies feel already that their
success is assured.
To begin wilh, they will have two in*
fants to board there regularly. Then
fathers are working men, and they are
without mothers, and this is considered
the best way of having them cared for.
One or two other children whose mothers
are In the hospitals will be cared for free
of charge. Other children left there by
their mothers during ihe day will be
charge*) for as heretofore at the exceed
ingly small rate of 5 cents a day.
The ladies have received much encour
agement in their work already, and they
believe that much good will come of it.
They have gone into it with heart and
soul, and they want all Ihe aid that good
Christian people can give them.

I THE CITY'S GROWTH IN A YEAR.
Savannah's Poptyntion Nearly •1,000
Abend of a Year Ago.
Savannah’s population, according to
Shoks' City Directory for 1898, which will
be issued this week, has increased about
4,000 during the last year.
A copy of the second volume of
Sholes' Directory of Savannah, pub
lished In 1880, states that llie then
population of this city, as developed by
the directory canvass, was 33.248. and that
the book contained 11,783 names, a gain
of 207 over the previous year. These names
were white, 7,004; colored, 4,179. It is fur
ther stated that 3.383 names were dropped,
in the compilation, from the previous list,
while 3,650 new names were added. The
nineteenth of Sholes' Directory of Savan
nah contains 25,235 names—l4,s7l white, 39,-
wii colored. In addition it contains the
names of 8,381 wives—a total thus of 33,619
names, or 371 more names than there was
population in 1880. In the compilation of
this volume 6.868 names were omitted
which were in the 1897 liook, while 8,673
new names take their place, an increase
of 1,835 for the year—6B7 white. 1,148 colored.
Added to this should be 3,930 changes or re
movals which have taken place with par
ties remaining in the city—a total of 12,603
changes In 25,235 names, or almost exactly
50 per cent.
Mr, Sholes will begin the delivery of the
new directory to subscribers day after to-
11. S. MONITOR AMPKITRITE.
The United States monitor Amphltrtte has deferred her visit to Savannah. Capt. Barclay had the permission of the govern
ment to leave Port Royal, where the monitor has been stationed since Jan. 1, and go to Charleston or Savannah to await orders.
He was at Charleston for a few days during December, and wanted also to pay a visit to Savannah. He wrote to LJeut. H. K.
Hines, in charge of the Hydrographic office, a few days ago, enquiring If suitable anchorage could be had for the Amphitrite
opposite the city. As the constant movement of vessels in front of the city would be interfered with by the monitor being an
chor* and in the middle of the channel, the wharf of the Georgia Dumber Company, at the foot of Bull street, was secured.
('apt, Barclay was notified of the arrangement, and Lieut. Hlr.es received a letter from him yesterday, stating that as he
anticipated some inconvenience in keeping his crew together, if he landed at a wharf, he preferred to remain at Port Royal,
until he received orders from the war department.
As there is a safe anchorage at Fort Jackson, a short distance below the city, Capt Barclay may yet reconsider the matter
and bring the Amphitrite to Sayannah, where she and her officers will receive a hearty welcome.
The Amphitrite was here during the May week festivities in 1895, in company with the cruisers Atlantic and Raleigh, when
hundreds of people visited Uncle Sam's fighting ships, which were anchored near Fort Jackson.
The monitor was built by Harlan & Hollingsworth, at Wilmington, Del. Her keel was laid in 1874, and her machinery was
in her several years before she was completed. She is a double turretted monitor and a formidable specimen of the modern
coast defense,vessel. She has a displacement of 3,990 tons, tonnage of 1,276 tons; her length between perpendiculars, is 259 feet 6
inches, her extreme breadth 55 feet 10 inches, and her mean draft 14 feet 6 inches. She is built of iron, has twin screws and an
indicated horse power of 1,600. Her average speed is twelve knots, and her coal capacity, in bunkers, is 200 meti.
The Amphitrite carries thirteen officers and a crew of 200 men.
The officers are: Capt. Charles J. Barclay, Commanding.
Lieutenant-Commander —Albert G. Berry, executive officer.
Lieutenants—Albert Mertz, Charles N. Atwater.
Lieutenant (junior grade)—Volney O. Chase.
Ensigns—Matt H. Signor, Charles B. McVay, Kenneth M. Bennett.
Paymaster—John N. Sped.
Surgeon—Henry C. Beyer.
Passed Assistant Engineer—Robert B. Higgins.
Acting Gunner—Herbert Campbell.
Carpenter—William J. Wren.
morrow. In reference to the census of the
city, Mr. Sholes says:
“It has been customary in nil the nine
teen years that the Savannah Directory
has been under the present management to
take a careful census of the city In con
junction with the canvass. While this in
volved much labor, it cost no one but the
publisher anything. The methods were
simple, and insured more accuracy than
any other, as it involved simply a question
of counting. Yet, to this day, no citizen or
misiness man or city official has ever
thanked the publisher for this extra work,
and year by year the figures have been
doubted, questioned, and the publisher
asked “on what basis he made his calcu
lation.” Only recently a prominent city of
ficial has asked Council for an appropria
tion, in order (hat he may "obtain the best
census the city has ever had.” So, while
the census was taken as carefully this year
as ever, the publisher has decided not to
count it. or give it publicity. Atlanta mul
tiplies the names in the directory by 3(4
an<l proudly claims about 125.(8)0 i>eople. A
few publishers use the multiple of 3, but
no other publisher in the world, so far as
our knowledge goes, has ever done what
the publisher of the Savannah Directory
has done, and tried year by year to give an
accurate census of the city.”
The city’s population, while not stated
by Mr. Sholes, is estimated from compari
sons between his directories for 1897 and
1898, to bo alKUit C 9.000.
CAPTURED IV A PAWN SHOP.
gam Farrnbee to Answer for House
Robbery.
Sam Farrabee, colored, well known to
the police, was caught by Detectives Scul
ly and Garrity last night within two hours
after the crime he committed was re
ported.
The house of William Ixtgan, colored, in
Bolton street lane, near Montgomery, was
reported robbed of an overcoat, trousers
and other articles. Williams said he had
been out of his house only ten or fifteen
minutes, while he was gone to a neigh
boring house. It was early In the night,
and on returning ho found the place had
been entered during ills absence. He at
once reported The robbery, and the detec
tives were put to work. It was a short
time before Farrabee was located in a
pawn shop, where he was endeavoring to
get away with some of the stolen prop
erty. After being searched at the guard
house a number of tickets were found
which showed he had an account at the
shops.

to the state convention were oleebxl.
The first thing taken up was the elec

by unanimous vote, and none would heed
tils efforts to shift the responsibility. All
wanted Mr. Lovenstein to serve again cn
account of his familiarity with the work,
an<l, besides, a change at this time might
cause some inconvenience when the con

A committee from the state directors
will arrive to-day for the purpose of con
ferring with the local post concerning the
proposed changes in dates of the state
convention. The hitch seems to be as to
whether the convention should be held on
the former or latter part of the week. With
those who have expressed an opinion it
seems to be the sentiment that the con
vention should be held April 18, 19 and 20,
as orignally proposed. Many are
given by those who take this position, one
of them being that the proceedings would
be carrie*! to Sunday before all business
could be completed. Then, too, they hold
that the first of the week is more prefera
ble, all things being equal. The Savan
nah contingent at least is strongly in fa
vor of leaving the dates us they now
stand.
President Lovenstein appointed the fol
lowing committee to meet the visitors and
entertain them while h**re: Max Krauss,
A. Barnett, E. Kulman, Julius Maas, Al

cent, James T. May, Jr., A1 Spiegel and D.
L. Sternberger. This committee will meet
the visitors and show them the necessa
ry courtesies. The committee will remain
over till to-morrow.
llnlded by Hall Thieves.
Reports are being made to the police
about hall thieves who seem to be rhglng
in certain localities. A house was en
tered last night while the occupants were
in the sitting room, and an overcoat and
hat, belonging to a well-known gentleman,
were taken. The hall thief is cunning, and
especially at boarding houses, where they
can roam around through the hall without
arousing the occupants, who assume that
it in boulders.
SEWERS TURN INTO EAST BROAD.
Tretlel Hallway Will Carry the
Snarl aad Dirt.
The house drainage work has begun on
East Broad street. The sewers have been
laid on the east end of Liberty street, and
are there being covered.
The turn from Liberty into East Broad
Is being attended with more display than
any portion of the work had before as
sumed. A long runway upon trestle work
some fifteen feet or more in bight is being
erected, and will be ready for operation
by day after to-morrow. This run, which
is to be some 100 yards in length, will
greatly facilitate the handling of the im
mense quantities of dirt and sand that
are removed from the deep ditches.
Large buckets will be operated along the
run by steam. Sets of them will Ire going
in opposite directions to handle the dirt.
As matters now stand, it often requires
three or four layers of workmen for the
dirt to be pitched from the bottom of the
ditches. Platforms or stages are built
up the sides of the woodwork that hold
in the sides of the ditches, and on these
the workmen stand with their shovels.
Those at the bottom throw the dirt to
the staging above them, where it is in turn
thrown higher by the men standing there.
This operation is repeated until the dirt
finally reaches the surface.
A bridge has been built across the ex
cavation to enable vehicles to pass on Lib
erty si reel. The Liberty street cars do
no pass over. Those that have been go
ing on Randolph street no longer do so,
but now stop at East Broad. The full
run will be resumed as soon as a cross
ing Can be affected at East Broad street.

SI'PT. ASHMORE BACK FROM THE
St FEIUNTEYDENTV MEETING.
Department of Superintendence Will
Meet iu Georgia In 1000—Savannah
May Be Chosen ns the Place for tile
Convention—Mr. Ashmore Found
the Chattanooga Meeting Very
Beuefieinl—Many Excellent Papers
Head—Views of Some of the Ques
tions.
Superintendent Otis Ashmore of the pub
lic schools of Savannah and Chatham
county has returned from Chattanooga,
where he attended the convention of the
National Educational Association, depart
ment of superintendence. He was greatly
impressed with the convention, which he
considers was effective in doing much for
educational interests over the,entire coun
try.
Superintendent Ashmore says there were
several hundred delegates in attendance,
almost every state in the union being rep
resented. Every state east of the Rocky
Mountains had one or more representa
tives. Georgia led in the number of del
egates, though the convention was held in
a Tennessee city. There were forty Geor
gia superintendents present.
Aside from the Influence of the excel
lent papers read and the discussions Hat
followed them, much was gathered from
the convention, Mr. Ashmore thinks, from
personal association and contact with the
leading educators who were there from
ail over the country. From this associa
tion alone, Mr. Ashmore feels that he
gathered enough to repay him for the trip.
The department will probably meet next
winter at Columbus, O. 'lt is customary
for the conventions to be held alternately
a.t the North and South. There was a tacit
understanding when Columbus was agreed
upon as the next place of meeting that
the convention would, in 19C0, come to
Georgia. The Georgia delegation was
strong enough to have dictated almost the
place at which the meeting next winter is
to be held, and it was in return for its
vote for Columbus that the understanding
was reached to have this state be the
one to follow Ohio wilh the honor of en
tertaining the educators.
When the time comes for settling upon
the city in Georgia that is to have the
convention there will doubtless be some
thing of a contest In the caucus of the
delegation from the state. Atlanta will
want it, but Savannah ought to have it,
on account of her advantages as a health
and tourist resort during the winter. The
claims of the city will probably be strong
ly put, and it is not unlikely that in 1900
the convention will come here.
Mr. Ashmore considered some of the
papers that were read before the depart
ment very fine. One of the subjects for
discussion was "Educational Problems in
the South." A subdivision was "What
Does the Negro Get From Common School
Education and What Does He Give to It.”
The leading paper on this subject was
read by Prof. Glenn, State School Com
missioner. He showed that the South is
doing its full duty to the negro from an
educational consideration of the question,
and that the money spent for the educa
tion of the race is far in excess of the
combined taxation on all property owned
by its people. Supt. Ashmore took part
in the discussion that ensued, which was
almost altogether among superintendents
from the South.
An interesting paper was read by Prof.
Halleck of Louisville on “What Can Child-
Study Contribute to the Science of Edu
cation?” Of late years experimental
psychology has bce<n pursued in many
schools of the country, laboratories being
established where the various faculties
and senses of children can be tested by
instruments. It has been thought that
much good could come from these experi
ments. Prof. Halleck showed how far it
could be carried with safety and what
good could result. The general tone of
the paper was such as to put teachers on
their guard against expecting too much
from this kind of child-study.
The discussion of “School Hygiene” oc
cupied one entire afternoon session.
“Lighting and Heating,” “Ventilation of
Schools,” and “Contagious Diseases,”
formed the subject of three excellent pa
pers that were read.
One of the evening sessions was devoted
to a discussion of esthetic culture in
schools, one of the papers being on “In
fluence of Music and Music Study on Char
acter.” Dr. W. T. Harris, the United States
commissioner of education at Washington,
read a paper on “Value of the Tragic and
Comic In Education.”
The discussion of vacation schools was
another feature of the convention. These
schools are conducted in some of the larg
est cities in the most densely populated
districts for the purpose of keeping the
children off the streets. It was shown
that in such districts the conduct of the
schools is of benefit rather than otherwise,
but the majority of the superintendents
present, Mr. Ashmore said, seemed to
think it preferable for children to have
their vacation for recreation and healthful
exercise rather than a continuance of
schooling.
Dr. Sheppard of Winona, Minn., the sec
retary of the department, talked on "Con
tinuous Sessions of Normal Schools.” The
Idea of such continuous sessions is to af
ford opportunity to teachers already en.
gaged in teaching to attend during their
vacations. Mr. Ashmore things that, while
4he plan contains many features to com
mend it, there are also a number that
are objectionable. It was thought that
the continuous system would apply better
in the North and West than in the South.
Another session of the department was
devoted to the discussion of grading and
promotion with reference to the individual
needs of pupils. Upon this s*ibject,educa.
tors have for several years been seeking
a remedy for the recognized drawbacks
that exist In the present methods. The long
gaps that exist in the annual promotion
of children render the usual plan undesir
able, but it has to be employed for lack
of a be tier. This plan is for a child who
has failed of promotion at the end of a
term to be sent back to the same grade for
aother year. He thus gets a setback for
a year, when often he would be able to
Tise to the next grade after but a short
time spent In the lower one. He has
to go over witch ground that is familiar
to him. Mr. Ashmore says that a semi
annual promotion is now In operation In
many cities, which looks to the promotion
of pupils every six months.
Under this plan, should a pupil fail of
promotion at the end of the semi-annual
term he would lie set back for only one
half a year. Mr. Ashmore says the plan
possesses some very valuable features, but
that its chief objection lies in its calling
for two classes in the same room at the
same time. The plan has been even still
further modified in a number of instances
by quarterly and even monthly promo
tions, but as yet the vast majority of ed
ucators throughout the country have not
seen their way clear to adopt it. Mr. Ash
more says the theory is a good one, hut
that Its practical application is accom
panied with many difficulties.
In addition to the general sessions of
the department a series of “round table"
meetings were held in the afternoons. At
these meetings special subjects were
brought up for discussion. Those feeling
u particular Interest in these subjects at.
leaded the “round table” meetings.

Columbus, 0., November 26 , iSgj.
Dr. S. B. Hartman , President Pe-ru-na Drug Mfg. Cos.
Dear Sir:—l believe the use of your medicine , Pe-ru-na, to build uf>
a broken or debilitated system about the best treatment that can be
taken; it adds vigor and lends additional strength; it is certainly one
of the very best medicines in the land.
Respectfully , E. J. POCOCK.
Pe-ru-na cures catarrh. It is Dr. Hartman’s great prescription for
all diseases of the mucous membrane. Pe-ru-na acts directly on the
nerves, and makes the membranes healthy by regulating the flow of
blood. Where the membranes are healthy there can be no catarrh.
For over forty years Pe-ru-na has stood without a successful rival
as a cure for all catarrhal troubles.
Local treatment of any phase of catarrh is certain to do harm;
indeed the results of it are frequently fatal. The diseases of the
mucous membrane are legion, and the same treatment will cure
Bright’s disease (catarrh of the kidneys) that will cure catarrh in
the head, nose and throat. Dr. Hartman’s books tell what catarrh
is, how it originates, and how to cure it. They also contain much
that is helpful about the deadly catarrhal diseases. Get Dr. Hart*

The following letter from Ralph W. Chulip, of La Porte, Ind.,
is so explicit and convincing, that although long we print it here in
full, together with his portrait.

Dear Sir.—l want to thank you a thousand times for what
ff Aj I your medicine has done for me. I cannot praise it enough, nor
do I think any one troubled with catarrh, who will try just one*
bottle, can help but see what a wonderful medicine it is. I have:
m \ been troubled with catarrh for the past eight years, and seven
[jyrak A years ago it became chronic. In the last eight years I have takea
fei sjjjfeljjp enough different medicines, and tried different inhalers, that were*

\ came so bad a year and a half ago that I took treatment from two
x&MS&p different catarrh specialists. The first doctor removed a growth
•T JfeidH ™- i from my right nostril; he helped me some. I doctored with him
J about two months, but he could not stop the discharge from my
J head, which was dreadful. I have used as many as six and
I fy ] eight handkerchiefs in one day. I paid this doctor one dol
jJt: / | * ar a treatment. I was advised to quit him and try another
1 doctor. I did so, and he began giving me medicated air
\ \7 / 1 treatment that did me some good also, but could not 6top the
\ y / \ discharge from my head. Finally my stomach became affected,
/ and eight months ago 1 had to quit work. I lost in weight from
RaLQH W. CHULIP. 165 pounds to 140 pounds. My doctor advised me to go out into the
country. I did so for two months and was taking medicine all
the time, but got no relief. My appetite was gone. I began having heart trouble. Dizzy spells
that would get so bad I would stagger when I walked. I was completely discouraged. One
day I was in a drug store to get some medicine. While waiting I picked up a Pe-ru-na Almanac.
The first thing that attracted my attention was: “Not a cure-all, but will cure catarrh.” I
thought to myself: here is the first medicine I have ever seen that doesn’t cure a dozen
different diseases. I procured a bottle and had not taken half of it when to my joy and sur
prise my head began to get better, the discharge began to dry up. I kept on and have now
taken two bottles; have resumed my work, have a good appetite, no dizziness nor heart trouble,
and have not felt better in ten years. lam now thirty, and I thank God and Pe-ru-na for
the way I feel to-day. I trust I have not intruded upon your time with this long letter, but I
feel so grateful it seems as though I could never stop talking or writing praise of the medicine.
And I will be the means of selling many bottles of Pe-ru-na, as all my friends know just how
bad I have been.—RALPH W. CHULIP, La Porte, Ind.
Nearly all the peculiar ills of women are catarrhal. Pe-ru-na
effects permanent cures of these troubles in a way that is purely
scientific and shorn of mystery, yet appears miraculous to many as it
did to Mrs. A. C. Hildebrand, Milton, N. C., whose letter follows:
Dr. S. B. Hartman, Columbus, O.
Dear Sir: —" By reference toyourfilcs, you will see that I was
very low and pronounced incurable by two of the best doctors

interested woman should write for it. The scientific exactness of its
treatment of this subject is the outcome of many years unvarying
success. All druggists sell Pe-ru-na.
