A BLIND TIGER.
A Yonnc White Boy Arrested Satur
day Night for Sellin? Whiskey
Since prohibition baa been in vogue
in Spalding county the < fficers have
arrested blind tigers of all colors, ages
and sexes, but Officers I’nelps and
Gordon ran across a species Saturday
night that would prove a curiosity
even in Kansas.
At 9 o’clock Saturday night these
officers arrested Cirtis Smoote for
s Hing whiskey in this city. Smoote
is a young white boy not over 15 years
of age, who was run over hy a freight
train on the Central railroad a few
years since and had butti l<gs ampu'
tated above the knee.
After young Smoote recovered from
his injuries sufficiently to get out, hie
father bought him a wagon and two
goats and since then has become a
familiar figure on Hill street.
When arrested Saturday night he
had a liberal supply of whiskey in his
wagon and was evidently doing a
thriving business.
Owing to bis physical condition the
officers did not place Smoote in jaib
but he will be tried within the next
f«w days for running a blind tiger.
Officer Gordon says the boy’s father
admitted he w»s selling whiskey as a
means of making a little spending
money, as be was unable to work.
Department Makes Two Runs-
The fire department has made two
runs since the Evening Call was
published Saturday. The first was
made Saturday night, when Mr. C. W.
Smith’s residence on Taylor street was
discovered to be on fire. The roof
caught from a spark from the chimney
but was extinguished befo-e doing
much damage.
The department was called out
again today at noon. This time the
fire was in North Griffin, and the
house was occupied by Mr. Wil! Me*
Elhenney. It was caused by a defec
tive flue, but was soon extinguished
with out little damage being done.
Ordinary’s Court-
Ordinary Jas. A. Drewry held his
April term of court today, but there
was not much business to be transact
ed.
Mrs. Marie Ford, administratrix of
the estate of P. S. B. Ford, was granted
leave to sell insolvent notes and acs
counts of the estate.
L Cleveland was appointed admin
istrator of the estate of Mrs. Eliza
Boyd.
The application of J C. Smith for
letters of administration on the estate
of Mrs. J. D. Sherrell was continued.
Recorder’s Court-
Judge Wm. H. Beck presided over
the recorder’s court this afternoon
and fined Oto Hammett, colored, $2 50
for contempt of court.

IIMMUNES IN QUARANTINE CAMP
After Detention of Five Days the Reg
iment Will Land at Savannah
i Savannah, Ga , April 3 The
Third United States volunteers (Ray’s
i immune?) arrived from Sagua de
Tanatno on the transport Sedgwick
yesterday. The regiment will go into
detention camp at Sapelo, the federal
quarantine siation, for five days. With
lhe regiment there are a number of
ladies, the wives of officers. These
will have to undergo disinfection and
quarantine the same as the private
soldiers. Ray’s regiment was the first
volunteer command to go to Cuba
after the cessation of hostilities. It
has had a nine months’ tour of duty.
Lieutenant Colonel Wyly, who was
made military governor of the city
and district o! Baracoa, came to the
city last night.
"I'he ultimate salvation of the is
land and its people,” said C*>l. Wyly,
“lies in the retention of the United
States troops and the continuance of
a military government. The island
has been so completely demoralized
that lhe people are unfitted for gov
ernment and need the supervision of
some power sufficiently strong to quell
promptly the first outbreak of insur
rection or disorder and with a dispo
sition to do it without fear or favor.
My conviction is that if the troops are
withdrawn or civil administration sub
stituted all the good that has been
done will be undone and Cuba re
vert to its old condition of lawlessness
and ill government ”
A Typhoid Fever Remedy-
It is probable that the announce
ment that a celebrated physician of
Philadelphia has discovered a cure for
typhoid ftver causes'rejoicing in that
city and Newark, N. J. These cities
have an immense amount of the fever,
and they have it all the year around.
The cause is the filthy water with
which their people are supplied They
will never get rid of the fever until
they get a supply of pure water Why
they haven’t abandoned the Schuylkill
water in Philadelphia and the Passaic
river water in Newark long before this
is one of the things that is past finding
out. In Philadelphia there is talk of
having the members of the City Coun
cil indicted for refusing to do any
thing for the purification of the water
The alleged typhoid fever cure is
the discovery of Dr. John Aulde, It
consists of a combination of arsenic
and nuclein, both having germicidal
properties The discovery consists in
combining the two drugs The t fleet
of them is said to be that they give
new energy to the brain and nerves,
and restore the antiseptic quality of
the bloo I The best remedy for cities
alilicted with typhoid fever, however,
is pure water—Savannah News.
Died in Barnesville-
Judge Z L Fryer, died at his home
in Barnesville from nervous prostra
tion Saturday night and was buried in
that city yesterday morning.
Judge Fryer was a very prominent
man in bis section and was well
known all over the state.
Mrs. C, S Moore, of this city, was a
daughter of the deceased and w..s
present at the time of his death.

TOFFA. KINO OF DAHOMEY
—
A Tyrant and a Canutba’, Though He
Looks Quite Civilized.
Toffa is by no means si :ipi<l, for he
has managed to preserve his inde
pendence while the other African
monarchs around him have had to
yield to the all-conquering British.
He still carries on the slave trade, and
once a year celebrates a great festiv il,
at which many human victims are
devoured by his warriors. His harem
is most txtensive, being -added to
whenever his eye lights on some girl
who suits the royal taste.
His capital, Abomey, is some eight
miles in circumference, surrounded by
a ditch filled with a dense growth of
prickly acacia, to serve as a defente
against savage foes. It is considered
sacred soil to which Europeans are
not permitted entrance, except under
special dispensation of the fetish
priest, and he may decide, after a vis
itor has been admitted, that he cannot
return when be wishes to do so. One
Englishman who went there for
eight days was compelled to remain
eight months. The annual festival,
held in October, is most barbarous.
The intended victims are tied into
baskets, and then lifted on the bead of
Amazons, are paraded up and down a
high platform. King Toffa delivers
an address, pointing to the captives
as proof of his prowess, and the favor cf
the fetish and the helpless victims are
thrown down into the crowd of Da
homeys; to meet a frightful death.
The skull# of these enemies are used
to decorate the walla of the royal pal
ace and 1 off.'s bed room is paved
with the heeds <>f his toes If one of
lhe Kings who dare to oppose him is
killed, his skull is made into a cup,
out of which Toffa drinks to the gods,

The Hutch May Take Mary land.
The Dutch may soon take Maryland.
Cornelius W. Van Dvr Hoogt, the secre
tary of the Maryland state bureau of Im
migration, who is traveling through the
Netherlands drumming up immigrants
for Maryland, reports that his mission is
successful.
“I visited Amsterdam,” he says, ‘‘at the
invitation of some prominent capitalists
who desired to consult- mo in regard to a
prospect of making investments in our
state. They have formed a plan to estab
lish a Dutch cocoa factory in Maryland.
The Dutch cocoa is renowned all over the
world and is also popular in America.
This industry is one of the principal ones
in the Netherlands, and the Hollander is
familiar with it. They asked me several
questions about shipping facilities, labor,
help of male and female, and it seemed to
me that they were satisfied with my in
formation.
‘■l assured them that such an industry
would lie welcomed in Maryland and
promised them in behalf of our bureau all
the necessary assistance in the matter. I
will have another meeting with these men
before I leave and will do all in my power
to induce them to start this enterprise in
the state of Maryland. ”
The lleanregard Monument.
The proposition to erect a monument to
General Beauregard in New Orleans is
again being agitated. Some time ago an
effort was made to collect funds for the
purpose, and SI,OOO was secured and safely
invested. This was not deemed sufficient
to erect a monument worthy of the sol
dier, and since then nothing has been done
in the matter. An effort will now be
made to secure additional funds. General
Beauregard was a native and for a large
part of liis life a resident of Louisiana.
“It is strange,” says the New Orleans
Times-Democrat, “that Louisiana, which
has erected monuments to Robert E, Lee,
Albert Sidney Johnston and other Confed
erate leaders, should have neglected the
most distinguished Louisianaian that
served in the Confederate army.”
Pretty Tie For Tiny Girl’s Hair.
There never has been a prettier way of
arranging the tresses of a little child than
the present mode of tying the dainty locks
on either side of the face. This keeps the
hair out of the eyes—a most important
consideration—and gives a quaint, tidy
look to the face that is very sweet and en
dearing. If the hair curls naturally, then
all the better. But. whatever you do, don’t
put it in “pigtails” unless the ago of 4 or
5 years is reached. Oh, the woeful ap
pearance of a bit of a baby with its seven
little hairs done into a braid and tied with
a scrap of ribbon! There never was a
more doleful picture penned or painted.
