Hon. Rufp* K. Lester is bnck at homft
with his fHstjds, prepared to take tne
summer easy and enjoy a re?t nfTr t e
exciting session of Congress which has
just adjoin cd. Col. Lister arrived yes
terday mqjt*iLg and was warmly greeted,
fie is look better than for several
pears and 1 1, evidently in the best of
health and ftirits. x
When seeir tty a Morning News reporter
Coi. lister : aid he did not know what
he could sap about the recent session of
Congress. 'T:u already know all that l
,an tell you.*’ hr said. "It was not a long
region, but there was a great deal of
w-ork. and an tdmes there was considerable
excitement. Net the session did not ac
complish a irfat deni, except in the way
of passing immense appropriation bills.
3t has been the most expensive legislative
session this country, or the world lor
that matter, has ever known. The appro
priation® are away up in the hundrcls cf
millions and exceed any thing of the kind
the country has ever known. The naval
appropriations bill alone carries $5*).00j,0 0
besides the cost of the eight warship*
which the Secretary of the Navy is au
thorized to contract."
Col. Lester was asked about Senator
Tillman’s amendment to the naval ap
propriations bill, with reference to the
removal of the station from Port Royal to
Charleston.
"Jillman did not really rare about the
removal of the naval station to Charles
ton,” said the Colonel. “Personally. I
think he would rather nave had the sta
tion remain at Port Royal. It was the
navy people who were responsible for
the amendment. They have alwn>* h-n
down on the Port Royal station; not
enough social attractions ihete 1 suppose.
Senator Tillman saw that i no station wh
to l>e removed, and determined that it
should remain in South Carolina, and in
this he was successful."
“With the exception of the currency
bill, which was passed early in the ses
sion," said Col. lister, “but litl.e was
accomplished in the wa> of generai leg
islation. The Nicaraguan (anal bill wus
passed by the and is now pending
before the Senate. Ii will not beconv a
law in Its present shape, and the House
did not expect it would when it passed it.
It simply desired to put the measure hi
the way of passing Most of the Demo
crats voted for it. I voted against it. I
agree with Burton of Ohio, and others,
that It would oe the poorest kind of busi
ness policy to go ahead *ncl bulk! tin
canal, and then bargain with the coisnirin;
on both sides, for conditions and privi
leges. as the bill proposes to do. The con
ditions should bt* determined before and
not after. The bill specifies one particu
lar route, while we have a Nicaraguan
Canal Commission spending millions of
dollars investigating the feasibility and
cost oT the several routes. We can afford
to await the report of this commission
before taking action.”
No river and harbor*bill was passed, but
Col. Lester had inserted in the emergency
bill a provision for the re-examination of
the 28-foot project for the improvement of
the Savannah river. This is the original
project of (Jen. Gill more which was after
wards modified by Capt. Carter to 2fi feet.
Col. Lester regards the fact that In the
survey of the river which is now being
made by Capt. Gillette the south channel
is included as significant.
“I krio-w that Gen. Gillmore favored the
Improvement of the couth channel as the
better and struighter route,” ho said. "The
north channel was at that time Savan
nah'S only route to the sea anil to have
left it as it was and undertaken th* im
provement of the south channel would
have left Savannah without a route to the
sea. With the small means at (Jen. Gill
more’s disposal the improvement of the
north channel was the only feasible plan.
It would cost a great deal, no doubt, to
Improve the south channel, and with tin
large sums which have been spent upon
the north channel th< probabilities are that
it will continue to bo -Savannah’s road to
the sea."
Col. Lester said he did not think that
the unexpended appropriation for th
breakwater could he div- rud for ill* im
provement cf the channel. What v* r iro-
je?t of further improvement is decid'd
ufon will require a special a qropria*lon
by Congress. There is suffice,-nt money
available for dr dging to maintain the
present dc. tii
As to the political situaticn Cel. Lester
said "Bryan has a chance." When ask'd
what he meant by this h*> said that the
harmony which now prevails among the
Democra's of New York, as indicated by
thr* recent convention, is a very hopeful
sign. To will Bryan must af Fast carry
New York, and with the restored har
mony among Eastern Democrats, < 1 11 • to

Republicans in Porto Uico and tv- I hi!
tppines and the corruption which has bee 1
revealed in Cuba there is Ilk ly to i- a
sufficient number of p*. ple who are tirr,i
of McKinleyltm to give New York and
other Eastern tdaies t > Bryan.
"The Kansas City Convtntlon will reaf
firm the Chicago platform.” said Col. Les
t<r. "It might be better to take this plat
form and simply strike cut from it the
objectionable features. Still there i< the
greatest plenty of good material for an
entirely new platform. A simple reaffirm;!
tion of the < h eago platform woul 1 proh
ably satisfy the Western Democrats with
out offending those of th* Fast. The mon
ey plank will have gicaf weight in the
East."
Col. Lester said that lie thought a sim
ple assertion if the Democratic party's
continued adherem c to bimetallism w mid
be the wisest course. 1 I he money c| ies
tion has practically settle 1 Its-ir.” he said
"A few years ago, with lirj

As to who will be the vice pre-i lentl.il
candidates on the two tickets. i'ol i,e .
ter said: "I haven't the sllgii'ot and,.,

When asked what he thought of tin
recent developments In the Cuban p<*st.u
service. Col. Lester said: "You •$n t
trust these Republicans with mono*. <-
penally away from home. Wo peopv
down Bouth found that out lon- ago. It
is the same old carpetbag system that
was raddled upon ihe South at the loe
of the war, and it is producing Just the
same results. The postal service i no
the only Cuban department in which
frauds will be developed.”
Col Lester will spend most of the sum
mer at bom* and in visiting hla friend
throughout the district. He will probably
'attspd th* Congressional Convention
•t Etitesboro June 27, though he hat not
decided upon this positively. He remark
ed incidentally that the delegates from
Chatham to this convention had not yet
been appointed. Now that Col. Lester Is
at home, the committee will doubtless
wait upon him and ascertain his wishes
in the matter.
WILL NOT BE \ DELEGATE.
Mr. (Infliction Say* Hr I Not Going
to KnnNnfl City.
Hon. F. G dußignon returned yester
day from New York where he had bten
for the last two weeks under treatment
of physic.ana. He is looking much better
man when he left Savannah, and says
that h*- feels greatly Improved in health.
His friends are very much pleas’d with
his improved appearance.
A report having been sent out from At
lanta to the effect that Mr. dußignon's
namfe would be presented to the State
Democratic Convention as a candidate for
delegate at large. When asked about the
matter he stated positively that he bad
no such intention and would permit noth
ing of the kind.
■ My engagements." he said, "are such
that i would be unable to go to Kansas
City, even it chosen as a delegate. I have
at no lime thought of going and will,
ther fore, not allow my name to be used
left re the convention."
Mr. dußignon aid that it is his inten
tion to d-vote the greater ] art of his time
tlii.' summer to regaining hs health in
which lie will be subject almost entirely
to his physician** directions. He will
leave for M I’e'geville Monday, and will
leave there Tuesday for Atlanta, where
lie will meet with the State Executive
Committe. .on Wednesday, and will call
the state convent! n to order Thursday.
LIKES THE HOPKINS DESIGN.
ft In Said the Committee Will Re
commend It to Academy Truiitee*.
A meeting of the Board of Education
will be held to-morrow afternoon at 4
o'clock. This will be the regular monthly
meeting, and it is held in the afternoon,
owing to the fact that the hour will be
niore convenient for the members of the
board. Two or three reside out of the
city during the summer, and they will be
enabled to reach their homes with less
trouble if the meeting is held in the after
noon. it is probable that the summer
meetings of the board will all be held in
the afternoon.
Matters of moment to the teachers of
the Savannah and county system* will
brought before the board. Chief in Inter
e.-t to them arl will be the election. It Is
customary for the board to te-elect#the
. orp~ of teachers at the June meeting.
Nothing has been heard to indicate that
there will be any changes, and it is under
stood that the present corps of teachers/
have given excellent service. It is very
probable that nil will be re-elected. No
resignations have been handed in. and it
is. therefore, presumed that none of the
teachers desire to give up their positions.
The board will also receive the reports
of the principals of the schools. One nt a
'imp, the principals will go heforp. the
body to report upon the conduct and
prog res.' of their schools during the year.
EXAMINATION FOR TEACHERS.
Will Re Held Saturday nt Chatham
Acadeuiy.
It is probable that a meeting of the
Boayd of Trustees of the Chatham Aca
demy will be held this week. The home
of Gen. W. W. (Gordon, who is a member
of the board, has been suggested as the
place, of meeting, and it is probable that
it will be held there. It Is desired that a
full attendance of the board be had. and
Gen. Gordon would be unable to g* t out
for a meeting elsewhere, as he ha* ro
sufficiently Recovered from the injury he
sustained some days ago by the fall of his
horse.
The Building Committee of the Board, it
is understood, has deckled to report in
favor of the design submitted i>y Mr.
Hopkins of New York, for the restoration
of the Academy. To some the dea.gn is
not Mii: aetory, and a preference has be n
expressed for that submitted by Mr. H.
\Y. Witcover of Savannah. The Bulking
Committee, if it reports without a dis
senting voice, could carry its report, as
four of the seven members of the boaid
are upon it. The outcome of the action
upon the Academy restoration when th
meeting is held will be awaited with in
terest. as the public is anxious to see a
building, not only well designed for school
needs, but architecturally beautiful, occu
py the Academy site.

A curtain in the window- of a bakery
at No. 222 Bryan street, west, was ignit

last night and an alarm of fire was turn

s Alembic ex* itement prevailed.
The streets in the neighborhood of the

anxious to see what was the matter and

mammoth conflagration was in progress.
The curtain, though, had been quickly

This week will see the finish of the cen
sus. so far es Savannah is concerned.
The city enumerators are only allowed
five more days In which to complete their
work, but they will easily get through
within that time. Probably three-fourths
of the city’* population has already been
enumerated, and eight of the forty-six
city enumerators have already completed
their districts.
There was probably never a census
taken that caused so little talk or proceed
ed so smoothly. This may be accounted
for in two ways. The masses of the peo
ple ore undoubtedly Increasing In intel
ligence, and as newspaper reading is gen
eral, practically everybody is informed as
to the purpose of the census. The object
of the enumerator’s visit is known, and
most people are very ready to give the
desired information. The other reason is,
that the Irritating questions which appear
ed in some previous census schedules ore
absent from that of 1900. and the persons
to whom the queries are put have no
cause to be provoked.
"The census isn’t furnishing any stories
for the newspapers," said Supervisor Blun
yesterday, “for the reason that it is thor
oughly commonplace. All the questions
are commonplace, nnd there is nothing
for people to get mad about. An intelli
gent set of enumerators has been selected
and distributed where they can do the
most good. They are going about (heir
work in a business-like manner, and the
whole thing is simply on a business
basis."
"You can rest assured of one thing."
said Mr. Blun. "and that is that a fair
and accurate count will be obtained. The
enumerators are obeying ins ruction**
carefully and covering the ground very
closely. There will be very few* individuals
who will escape the census* man. I don't
know how well Savannah is going to show
up. bm I can assure you of on rt thing,
and that is that she will get full credit
for everything she is entitled to.”
The ordinary .and "commonplace" man
ner in which the census count is proceed
ing is undoubtedly due in large- part to
the good judgment, shown by Mr. Blun
in the selection of enumerates and th-’
further display of gord judgment on Ms
part in placing* the enumerators in the
districts where* they * ould accomplish the
bec results while causing the least fric
tion.
It is remarkable that there lias not been
a single kick on the colored enumerators.
Although these are chiefly in the district*
largely populated by negroes there is not
an enumeration district which do?s rot
contain a number of white peop e. but
these all seem to have taken matters
philosophically and to have furnished in
formation as desired.
"I haven’t had the slight trouble of any
kind." said a young colored politician who
is taking the count in a Robertsville dis
trict. "I thought 1 knew something about
the way people lived in , this town, but fi
have found out a few things since I
started on this job. The population is
pretty thick in my district and it wcu’d
surprise you to see the number of fami
lies living in one house. Three and four
families to the house is nothing uncom
mon and the houses are fiot large either.
I enumerated twenty people in one house
the other day."
"How do you eatefo the people who are
not at home in the day time?" he was
asked.
"When there is nobody at home who can
give the information, we have to go back
at night,” ho replied. "In this way we
come pretty near catching ’em all. I ex
pect to get about 2.0C0 in my district.”
The enumerators get full three-fourths
of their information from the women. The
men arc away at business or at work, and
so it is the women who n\* called upon
to answer the questions as to the various
members of ihe family. An enumerator
who called at at a Gaston street boarding
house yesterday was met by the young
lady of the family, who promptly gave
him full information concerning every
member of the large family and all the
young men boarders as well. She knew
their oges and where they were born and
w'hat they were doing and all the other
information required. She could doubtless
have furnished considerable information
about them on other hes had it been de
sirable to do so.

The greatest guarantee to the public in
all corporations is the character and repu
tation of their board of directors. Faith
that they will be honestly dealt with is
what gives the public nerve to trust their
money into other’s keeping. Ami it is that
some confidence in the stat*m ns made
by Adler when he inaugurated this great
challenge sale, that has carried this site
beyond all expectation**, and made it an
epoch in the history of Savannah’s r. tail
trade. When a house has proven by is
past record that ii stands up to ail its
promises, the public rewards such fair
dealing. Adler’s name stands back of this

stances forced the opportunity upon him;

MOTIONS FOR NEW TRIALS
WILL RE ARGUED IN’ CASES OF
NELL AND MOULTRIE*
These Motions \\ ill Re Heard by
Judge Falliftant in the Superior
Court on Next Snturda> —The Story
of the Homicide* These Men Com
mitted—The Whole Week to Be
Consumed in the Trial of < rimi
nal Cases—Those Who Will Have
to Annwer the Indictments of the
Grand J ary Rurg Inry, Ilobliery
nnd Assanlt With Intent to Mur
der Among' the Offenses Charged.
During: this week tlie time of the Su
perior Court will be taken up in the trial
of criminal cases, and in hearing motions
for new trials in cases that have been
already tried, and in which the defend
ants have been adjudged guilty.
The event of principal interest will be
the hearing of the motion for a new' trial
in the case of W. S. Mel), w'ho has been
tried, convicted and sentenced to be hang
ed for the murder of James Buzbee. This
hearing will take place Saturday. It will
be remembered that the boy who was shot
and killed by Mell, was but 15 years old.
and a brother*4n-law of bis slayer. Fam
ily differences precipitated the quarrel,
and the evidence given by the witnesses
at the inquest, and at the trial in the
Superior Court, showed the homicide to
be a cold*-blooded murder, without exten
uating circumstances of any kind or of
any character to excuse or mitigate it.
On the same day Judge Falligant will
hear the motion for anew trial in the
case of Jake Moultrie, who has been tried
and sentenced to imprisonment in the
penitentiary for life, for the murder of
Moses Williams. Moultrie is a negro
preacher, who had been living in Yam
acraw with a woman with whom Will
iams had formerly lived, and by whom he
had had a child. On one Sunday morn
ing William* came to the house for the
purpose of raking the boy walking, and
was refused permission to do so by the
boy’s mother.
A quarrel ensued, that was kept up for
two or three hours, and finally Williams
walked into the house. It transpired at
the trial that Williams had been in the
habit of supporting his child, and fre
quently took him walking. However, as
he entered the house, he was v opposed
by Moultrie, and within a second or two
after the entrance ihe fatal shots were
fired. Those who entered the house soon
after the shooting saw Williams’ body
lying across the doorway, the man hay
ing been shot apparently soon after he
entered the room.
Moultrie began at once an effort to make
his escape and was captured by Patrolman
Jernlgan, af'er an excited and exciting
chase, in vwhich some 200 men and boys
participated. The capture was effected in
a canebrnke three miles west of the city.
Beginning to-morrow' morning Judge
Falligant will try a number of criminal
Charles Washington and William
Jackson, charged with assault with in
tent to murder; William Porter, twice in
dicted for larceny from the house, and
Lfwis Frazier and William Gordon,
charged with robbery by force, will b?
those who wi’.l be tried to-morrow-. The
♦rial-of all of these cases depends upon
the time each of them consumes, and it
may very possibly be that some of them
will have to await a later day during the
term.
Tuesday the cases scheduled for trial
are those of Richard Austin and W. H.
White, both of whom have been indicted
for burglary. Against White two indict
ments have been found. He is the colored
individual who entered the room of a
member of his race on or just before Dec
oration Day, when the npgro excursion
to Beaufort took place, and got away
with' a number of suits of elm lies and
other articles of apparel. White was
arrested just as he left the steamer, on
his return from the excurs'on. On his
person the detective by whom the arrest
was made found several pawn tlcke.-s for
the clothes he had stolen, while he was
wearing some of the articles to which he
secured title In his 'lllegitimate fashion.
Wednesday w’ll witne s the triads of
William Ford, charged with butglary,
Sam Harris, indicted tor assault with in
tent to mur.’er, Sam Simmons, an al.eg and
burglar, Wi.liam Brown, charged with

Five diopters on Fine Cigars.
Chapter I.
Eleven years ago we opened a small
.‘hop at Key West to make higher grade
cigars than could then be obtained from
existing factories; this entire product was
for several years absorbed in the Caro
liras. Georgia, Florida and Alabama
through the firm of Lee Roy Myers & Cos.,
at Savannah, Ga.
Tourists and travelers to these states
scon discovered the superior excel ence of
Cortez cigars, and in a few years the
goods had been sent in a small wav and
tested in nearly every secticn of the Unit
ed States.

Smokers of high grade cigars are slow*
to change, so the growth of the factory
was not rapid but for eight years there

The government transports to Cuba and
:he West Indies and the regimental com
missaries carried supplies of Cortez
cigars, and for several months after the

our cigars.
