THE EVENING GALL. Vol. X. No. I7« 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.

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, A Thousand Tongues.

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. £ w << A-n Excellent Combination. The pleasant method and beneficial effects of the well known remedy.
