part of it is past, however,. Running the
lines on the island and from Meldrim to
Savannah was particularly trying, as the
soil was wei most of the time. The sur

dense swamps to get in from Meldrim.
The weather was severe at times, and
often the ice had to be broken when
the engineers wanted to go through a

The indoor work is to be done in the

Nearly all women look
Jjf forward to the ordeal
of motherhood with so
r 1 much dread and anxiety
that only after the baby has
safely arrived and made a
'Rfflffif warm little place for himself
in the mother's heart, does
yfM 1 she fairly realize that it was
f’[\ I indeed a good angel who
; 1 brought this wee nestling to
brighten and sweeten her life.
Women who are approaching motherhood
with a sense of fear and solicitude, or in a
weakened physical condition, need the
help of that marvelous “ Favorite Prescrip
tion," invented by Hr. R. V. Pierce, chief
consulting physician of the Invalids’ Hotel
and Surgical Institute, Buffalo, N. Y., and
designed expressly to restore healthy vigor
to the delicate feminine structure involved
in motherhood. It takes away all of the
danger and most of the pain attendant up
on motherhood, and confers on the baby
that lusty hardihood which is a joy to a
mother’s heart.
An Ohio lady, Mrs. Lefa Hoffmire, of Claring
ton, Monroe Cos., in a letter to Dr, Pierce, says:
" I had always been healthy until four vears
ago. -9 Before the birth of my child I suffered
almost death a dozen times. Had what we call
milk leg lor four years. Could not stand it to be
on my feet long at a time without swelling dread
fully. Before my last babv was born, I had ev
ery symptom of a return of the trouble. My leg
swelled badly. I read of Dr. Pierce s Favorite
Prescription, and thought I would try it. 1 took
six bottles, and when my babv was born I was
not sick at all after I was oui of labor which
lasted only a short time. In times previous, la
bor had lasted twelve to fifteen hours. I am a
well woman to-day, and have been since I got
out of lied, when my little boy was nine days old.
1 give the credit all to Dr. Pierce's Favorite Pre
scription. I will never do without it duriug such
a time.”
beach grasses for tv bee.
Agrobiologist Scribner Here to See
What Varieties Will Grow.
Mr. F. Lamson-Seribner, agrostoioglst in
the department of agriculture at Washing
ton, arrived in Savannah yesterday on liis
way to the Tybee fortifications, where he
intends to study the adaptability of the
sands to the growing of beach grasses.
It is the intention of the government to
determine what grasses will grow at Ty
bee, and then transplant or propagate
them. The object is to bind the sand and
prevent the beach from drifting.
The planting of btatSh grass is quite an
important part of the work of the new
fortifications. Were It not for the grasses,
or sand binders as they are known lo
the department, high dunes would form
around the wails and eventually become an
impediment to the fortifications. To avoid
this drifting grasses are planted on the
beach, and once they get started, the sand
is held firmly and the smoothness of the
surrounding surface is maintained.
Mr. Scribner was seen at the De Soto
last night by a representative of the Morn
ing News, but not having
yet made any observations of
conditions along the South At
lantic beach, he had not formed any
idea a'B to which grasses will be best
adapted to this section. He will go to the
fortifications this morning with Capt. C.
E. Gillette.
From previous observations of grasses
that thrive along the Atlantic coast, how
ever, Mr. Scribner is inclined to believe
the bitter panic-grass is the variety which
grows about Tybee, and if this is the case,
it can probably be transplanted without
much difficulty. Seaside oats is another
kii>d it is thought may be transplanted
successfully. There are various other
grasses grown on the beaches farther
North, but it is not believed they would
thrive in this section. North of the South
ern coast of Maine is the eealion variety,
as far South as Virginia is the beach
grass, while from Virginia south is the
seaside oats. Air. Scribner does not be
lieve the oats will grow in this section,
however. Inasmuch as his observations
include a study of most all sand binding
grasses on boih the Atlantic and Pacific
coasts, it is probable he will at once decide
as to the recommendation he will make.
For the last six years Mr. Scribner has
been connected with the department of ag
riculture, having previously been a mem
ber of the faculty of the University of
Tennessee. He Is recognized as one of the
leading students In this country on agri
cultural subjects, and has made discov
eries which have turned out to be of in
estimable value to farming interests.
■WON WITH BHVAVS PICTI RE.
Air. Jersrer Successful in tlie Camera
Club Contest.
A contest among the members of the
Savannth Camera Club had its result at
the club's meeting last night, and Mr. A.
Jerger was declared the successful con
testant. In fact, he secured the first, sec
ond and third awards.
There were some fifteen pictures entered
In the contest, all being of army scenes
taken by the amateur members during the
stay of the troops here. They were sub
mitted by the club to Dr. S. A. White as
judge, whose award was made as indi
cated.
The identity of the photographers was
not disclosed on the pictures, but were
marked in such a way as to make it plain
to all but the judge as to their owner
ship.
The picture marked for the first award
was one of Col. William Jennings Bryan
as he stood with another officer in front
of his tent at the camp of the Third Ne
braska Regiment. Just as the snap was
made, the breeze caught the flag that
floated behind the officer and shook out Us
folds. It makes a striking background to
the picture, having a graceful curve in
but one corner. The likeness of the colo
nel is impressive and the picture of his
brother officer is also good.
Mr. Jerger suggested to the club that
this winning photograph be sent to Col.
Bryan with the club's compliments, and
the* suggestion was adopted.
Other business was transacted by the
members with the president. Dr. Aik<m, in
the chair. The club holds Its meelings
every two weeks, though every Wednes
day is a club night.
The club’s quarters, at Bull and Ncav
Houston streels, are nicely fitted up, and
e dark room that has been arranged has
been pronounced the best In the city. The
club is in a flourishing condition and the
members are nil enthusiastic.

purpose will be found in the last annual
report."
So far as Capt. Gillette is aware, there
has been no effort, official or otherwise, to
get an appropriation for a 38-foot project.
He remembered reading two or three arti
cles in the News in reference to some such
movement, hut that, he believed, was the
last that he heard of it. He has never
been asked by the department to prepare
plans for a 28-foot project. “From past
experience,” said he, "I should judge that
plans and estimates were prepared before
appropriations were made. I really trust
that the News correspondent does rot be
lie\ r e it the duty of an engineer to hustle
for an appropriation, as well as to look
after the work that properly falls to him.”
In reference to the Tybee breakwater,
the work on which was stopped nearly a
year and a half ago. and about which there
has iteen considerable inquiry, it was learn
ed that the Atlantic Contracting Company
had been notified over a
year ago that the work had
been stopped by il without the con
tract tx-ing completed. Col. Gaynor an
swered that the company’s plant would
be put in improved condition and work
AA'ould begin in the spring. This was the
spring of 1898, but nothing was done then
or since. Nothing further has been heard
from the company. Col. Gaynor was in
Savannah recently, but does not seem to
have honored the engineer's office with a
call. He staled at that time to reporters
(hat the plant was about to be overhauled
to resume work, but what has been done
on that line is unknown.
Judging from the tenor of Capt. Gil
lette’s remarks, he is not "losing much
sleep” over any complaints about his man
agement of the engineer’s work here.
COLORED VOTERS CAUCUS.
They Are Being Worked Up for tile
Approaching Election.
The colored voters are being worked up
in the interest of both the candidates for
the mayoralty and meetings are held every
night in the halls used by the colored peo
ple. Reports of these meetings are furn
ished to the Morning News by those Inter
ested and of course the claims of the pro
moters do not always agree. At the same
time it is very evident that the 500 or 600
colored voters who are eligible to vote in
the ciiy election are not being neglected
by any means and the figure that they
will cut in the election is being closely
calculated by the leaders on each side.
The Oglethorpe Club, which name is fa
miliar to many people in Savannah, met
last night at ils hall at Bay and Lumber
streets. The meeting was largely attended,
the number present being stated at 200.
Resolutions were adopted endorsing Mr.
Alyers' candidacy, and instructing the
chairman to appoint a committee of three
“to direct the course of the voters of the
First district.” ’Speeches were made by
Henry AI. Walton, J. E. Kimball and
others. The club adjourned to meet again
Friday night at the same place, with the
intention of proceeding in a body to Ala
sonic Temple to hear the report of the
committee on the aldermanic ticket. The
club will be headed by a brass brand.
Another Myers meeting was held in the
First district at Waiters’ hall at Cuyler
and Waldburg streets, at which John H.
Toomer presided.
The First district colored voters are get
ting in line for McDonough. There was
another meeting at Dorsey's hall last
night, several speeches were made by col
ored leaders, and everything looks like
they have about made up their minds as
to the candidate they will support. The
colored voters are taking the initiative in
getting into the fight.
There were reported to have been over
100 A-oters at the hall last night. It is
stated they were all voters, too, as one
man took a stand at the door, and ex
cluded those who have allowed their neg
ligence to put them in the unredeemed
column. When AV. D. Armstrong arose
to give the crowd some warm talk on
tlie subject of good government, which
the Voters present claimed will be the
order of • things if Mr. McDonough is
elecied, there was considerable enthusi
asm. Armstrong was followed by Rich
and Butler, L. AI. Pleasant and other
campaign speakers, who kept the spirit
of the meeting moving for some time.
They were cheered on by the crowd, which
prolonged the meeting until a late hour.
A meeting of (he Third district colored
voters was held at Turner Hall, J. E.
Kimball presiding. It was said that there
were about 100 voters present. The club
will meet again Friday night, when an
executive committee will be appointed.
Josiah Brown, chairman of the Fourth
district Republican committee, has issued
a call for a mass meeting of the Fourth
district Republicans at Odd Fellows’ Hall,
on Harris street, to-night at 8 o'clock,
"for the purpose of considering the ap
proaching city election.” The meeting is
understood to be in the interest of Air.
Myers.
O’DONNELL BETS ON MYERS.
Tlie Alderntnn I’ntn Up SSOO Even
With Ael I Glldea.
There Is general congratulation that the
present political contest will be of such
short duration. It is noticeable that there
is an absence of ihe bitterness of feeling
which has marked former campaigns, and
that there Is a disposition on the part of
the voters to declare themselves according
to their interests and inclinations without
showing any animosity towards the oppos
ing side. It is regarded largely as a per
gonal contest, each candidate representing
a certain line of policy and the voter is at
liberty to make h'.s choice of candidates
and of policies without danger of losing
friends or arousing animosity to himself.
The indications are that there will be
considerable betting. In fact, a number of
bets have already been made and the
probability-is that this number will be
largely increased as the campaign devel
ops. A bet of SSOO a side was made last
night between Alderman Thomas F.
O’Donnell atjd Air. Neil Gildea, Alderman
O’Donnell taking the Alyers’ side and Mr.
Gildea the AlcDonough side.
Immediately afterward Mr. O'Donnell
made another bet. An enthusiastic Mc-
Donough man wanted to bet, but he only
had one cent. The alderman also had a
copper and the bet was made, at even
money. The two coppers were placed in
nn envelope and deposited side by side with
the envelope containing the larger bet.
Nearly every saloonkeeper down-town is
holding stakes for various bets, ranging
anywhere from $5 to $lOO a side. The bet
ting so far has been at even money, ex
cept at the beginning when the odds were
in favor of McDonough.
It is generally predicled that a large
amount of money will lx* spent by each
aide in the effort to carry the election in
favor of its candidate. Each candidate
has a number of friends who are very
much interested in his success and who
will chip In liberally in order to achieve
that end. The professional heelers are an
ticipating thnt a couple of large barrels
wlii bo opened on that day and the mouth
of the colored voter already waters In
anticipation of the event. The market
price of votes in Savannah on election
day is said to be higher than in any other
city in the state, and next Wednesday will
hardly prove an exception to the rule.
FORMERLY Dili G CLERK HERE.
Now n Surgeon-Major tn the Hoytil
Nnvy of Slum.
Dr. T. Edward Hays, formerly a drug
clerk in Savannah, but now surgeon major
in the Siamese navy, a Christian mission
ary of advanced civilization and surgeon
to the King of Siam, is about to visit
Washington as a representative of tho
Siamese government. Dr. Hays’ career
has been a somewhat remarkable one. He
went from Savannah to Charleston and
then to Baltimore, where he began the
study of medicine. He was later in the
marine hospital service. . After graduat
ing at Baltimore he offered his services
to the Presbyterian board as a mission
ary to a foreign field, at the same time
requesting to be sent to the most .unde
sirable place In the service. After his
arrival in Siam he worked faithfully as
a missionary for nearly three years. Dur
ing the first year he attended between
3,000 and 4,000 surgical casses. Asa re
sult he was brought to the notice of tho
King, who sent his brother lo offer an
inducement to Dr. Hays to enter the
royal service. This Dr. Hays refused, pre
ferring to work In the cause of Chris
tianity rather than for the state. Never
theless he obtained for hospital purposes
the use of one of the public buildings,
which he equipped and placed under the
board’s control.
Some time afterward the government
renewed its offer, at the same time slating
that if Dr. Hays would accept he would
rot be required to give up his mission
ary work. Dr. Hays, ns a Christian lay
man, often included in his work the duties
of a minister of the gospel. At tills lime
the ideas of the West were exerting great
influence over the East, and it was fur
ther represented to him that the Siamese
were in need of someone w'ho would direct
the movement to secure them the benefits
of Euro|>ean civilization. He was the man
selected by them for this position. Un
der these conditions the doctor accepted,
and was accordingly empowered to found
hospitals and medical institutions all over
the land.
Some time later the most romantic inci
dent in the young physician's life took
place. He was called to attend a young
lady who was at that time sick In the
mountains. Dr. Hays fell in love with his
patient, and after he had restored her to
•health they were married. A few months
later the position of court physician w'as
left vacant. Dr. Hays was appointed to
it. One of his greatest public works is
the medical university .which ho founded
at Bangkok, and in which the science is
taught In the Siamese tongue. Dr. Hays
now holds the rank of major surgeon in
the Siamese navy.

It was not the Jake Menko known in
Savannah, who committed suicide day be

not of a suicidal disposition, and his
friends bank on his not doing anything so
rash. When he gels around this way
again, selling coffee for his New York
house, he will be receiving congratulations
from his friends on its not having been
him upon whom the Mobile coroner sat.

Senator Butler’s Pension Hill.
The resolution passed by Lafayette Mo-
Laws Camp No. 596, Confederate Veter
ans, throws anything but a just light on
Senator Butler’s bill. We do not suppli
cate a pension of the government, but
demand it as something that the ex-sol
diers of the South are entitled to. We
bear proportionately an equal burden for
the support of the pension fund with the
North, so why should they derive any
greater benefits from It than we. The
august body who passed the afore-men
tioned resolution displayed very little of
either philosophy or philanthropy, for
for while it is evident that these gentle
men do not need the pension themselves,
the mediocrity, or possibjy the narrow
mlndedness of their view of the situation,
and the stand they take, will be cursed by
the needy man who does.

A Letter I'in in the Executive unite of Oregon.
Pe-ru-na is known from the Atlantic to'
the Pacific. Letters of congratulation amt
commendation testifying to the merits of
Pe-ru-na as a catarrh remedy arc pouring
in from every state in the union. Dr. Hart
man is receiving hundreds of such letters
daily. AH classes write these letters, from
the highest to the lowest.
The outdoor laborer, the indoor artisan,
the clerk, the editor, the statesman, the
preacher—all agree that IV ru na is the
catarrh remedy of the age. The stage and
rostrum, recognizing catarrh as their
greatest enemy, are especially enthusiastic
in their praise and testimony.
Any man who wishes perfect health
must bo entirely five from catarrh. Ca
tarrh is well-nigh universal; almost omni
present, Pe-ru-na Is the only absolute
safeguard known. A cold Is the beginning
of catarrh. To prevent colds, to cure
colds, is to cheat catarrh out of its vic
tims. Pe-ru-na not only cures catarra,
but prevents. Every household should be
supplied with this great remedy for coughs,
colds and so forth.
The Governor of Oregon is an ardent nd
mirer of Pe-ru-na. He keeps it continu
