Yesterday Was the Last Day for
Enumerators* Work.
Yesterday was the last day appointed
by law for taking the census. The prob
ability is, however, that the enumerators
in some of the country districts, who
have been rather slow In their work, will
continue for a day or two longer before
sending in their reports.
Many of the country enumerators have
already sent in their reports, and the
others should all be In within the next
few days.
The reports of the city enumerators were
handed in two weeks ago. So far as known
these reports have r.ot yet been tabulated.
It was stated at the census office yester
day, however, that the city reports would
be the first tabulated and sent on to Wash
ington. This may be done this week
Census Supervisor Blun will take their
time In cnecking up the ebuntry reports
and keeping a careful lookout for errors.
There is no need for haste in this matter
as they have another month In which to
complete their work and get all reports
in. Savannahians may possess their souls
ir. patter." e. Inside of a month, and prob
ably Inside of two weeks, they will know
Just how much, or how little, the census
of 1300 wih give them.
MAY CONTINTB YVORK.
sanitary Board Flies Conditions for
Terminal Improvement*.
At a special meeting of the Sanitary
Board held yesterday. Health Officer
Brunner made his report upon recent In
spections of Hutchinson Island, the re
port being directed more especially to the
work of the Georgia Terminal Company.
The exact nature of the report Is not
known, but as the result of the meeting
the health officer was instructed to notify
the officers of the terminal company that
all mud dredged up and thrown upon the
island must be covered with sand and all
standing water must be drained off.
These are practically the same regula
tions as were enforced last year and are
understood to be satisfactory to the com
pany. It was stated at the meeting on
the authority of officers of the company
that the dredging w-ork would be com
pleted within the next thirty days.
FELL THROUGH TWO STORIES,
Probably Fatal Accident et Female
Orphan Asylum.
Little Ruth Boutet, an Inmate of the
Savannah Female Orphan Asylum, fell
from the second floor of the home to the
hall below, a distance of probably twenty
feet, last night, and striking on her face
fractured her skull.
Dr. George M. Norton and Dr. Duncan
were called, and did all that could be
done for the little girl, but as she was
still unconscious up to a late hour, they
were unable to say how serious her inju
ries may prove to be.
It is not known just how the accident
ocucrred, but it is thought that In her
eagerness to catch a glance of some of her
friends who had just returned from the
Fresh Air Home at Tybee the child lean
ed over the banisters too far and lost her
balance.
FUNERAL OF' DR. LINCOLN.
Physicians and Chatham Artillery

W. H. Connery, Jr., H. Clay Harrison, J.
W. Wilson and Dr. B. p. Oiiveros.
CH ATHAM BANK MOVED,
Will He at No. 33 Whitaker Street
for the Next Two Months.
The Chatham Bank moved yesterday to
No. 35 Whitaker street, where ft will
probably remain for the next two months
while the bank building is being over
hauled and remodeled. The quarters are
not as commodious as the officers of the
bank would have desired, but they are
the most convenient which could be ob
tained In the banking neighborhood. The
two upper floors of the bank building will
be tom out, and the building converted
Into a two-story building, In addition to
which the exterior will be generally re
modeled, and a handsome front on the
square will be built When completed, the
Chatham will have as handsome a bank
ing room as any bank in Savannah,

the house being two ladles. Hearing the
noise made by the man In his efforts to
pry open the window of one of the down
stair rooms, they looked out of an upper

calls to a neighbor for assistance frighten
ed the thief away, but not before It had
been discovered that he was either a
white man, or a mulatto. No arrests
have been made.

THE MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY, JULY 1, 1900.
THE PROPOSITION ACCEPTED.
BOARD OF EDUCATION WILL SUB
MIT A BUILDING PLAN.
The Proposition Adopted After Con
siderable Discussion by the Trus
tee* of Chatham Academy —Mr.
Clay Opposed the Reception of the
Resolution From the Board of
Education—A Motion by General
Gordon to the Contrary Effect Was
Carried—The Report of the Build
ing Committee of the Trustee* Re
ceived and Adopted.
At a meeting of the board of trustees of
Chatham Academy, held yesterday morn
ing at the office of Coi. George A. Mer
cer, it was decided to agree to the propo
sition submitted by the Board of Educa
tion and contained lri a resolution adopted
at a meeting of that body day before yes
terday. that the Board of Education be
permitted to submit a plan for the rebuild
ing of the academy for the consideration
of the academy trustees.
There was a full meeting of the mem
bers of the trustees in the city, those pres
ent being Capt. H. C. Cunningham, chair
man; Gen. W. IV. Gordon, Col. George A.
Mercer, Dr. William Duncan, Mr. George
C. Freeman and Mr. William L Clay.
The communication of the secretary of
the Board of Education, Inclosing the res
olution adopted by that body, was read
and discussed at some length. There was
some opposition to permitting the Board
of Education to have anything to do with
selecting the plans for rebuilding the acad
emy. Mr. W. L. Clay lead in this oppo
sition and submitted a motion that the
resolution of the Board of Education be
not received. Mr. Freeman was Inclined
to agree with Mr. Clay, holding that the
matter was one strictly within the prov
ince of the trustee*.
After considerable discussion a resolu
tion by Gen. Gordon, that the resolution
of the Board of Education be received and
that the committee named in the resolu
tion should proceed to select and submit
plans for the rebuilding of the academy,
was adopted. The committee named by
the Board of Education for this purpose
consists of Col. Mercer, chairman; Mr. Lee
Roy Myers, Dr. T. J. Charlton, M. A.
O’Byrne, Esq., and Supt. Ashmore.
This committee, or some of its mem
bers, at least, have already made con
siderable study of plans lor rebuilding
the academy, and It Is understood that
two or three of the plans submitted on
the call of the trustees meet with their
approbation. The plan submitted by this
committee will probably be one embody
ing the maun features of plans heretofore
submitted by Mr. H. W. Witcover, Mr.
Percy Sugden and Mr. Goodrich of Au
gusta.
Besides discussing and agreeing lo the
proposition of the Board of Education in
reference to the submission of plans, the
trustees received and adopted the report
of their Building Committee. This re
port deals with the efforts of the com
mittee to secure a satisfactory plan for
rebuilding the academy and one which
would meet with the approval of the
Board of Education. The report deals
only briefly wlth’the failure to reach an
agreement, and Is simply a plain state
ment of the work of the committee, with
out showing any feeling or making any
criticism of the committee from the Board
of Education. The report Is as follows;
To the Trustees of Chatham Academy:
The committee appointed by your body to
prepare plans for rebuilding Chatham
Academy respectfully report:
That on the 13th day of January a com
mittee was appointed to arrange to re
build Chatham Academy, said committee
being authorized to employ an architect
to advise them as to the best course to be
pursued in rebuilding the academy. The
committee at once proceeded to carry out
the resolution of the trustees, and select
ed Mr. Henry Urban as the architect to
aid them in their duties. On the 15th day
of February, your committee submitted a
report accompanied by plans for the re
building of the academy. The plan pro
vided for the removal of the exterior steps
extending to the third story of the cen
tral building which cut off some light and
air and the building in lieu thereof, In
terior steps on the northern side of the
building, raising certain ceilings, putting
floors on uniform level, improving ventila
tion, adding additional window space for
light and air and providing for the heat
ing of the building by steam, hot water
or hot air as might afterward be deter
mined, extending the eastern line of the
building about fifteen feet, and making
such other general Improvements as
would be possible. This plan further pro
vided for fifteen class rooms, one teach
ers' room and one janitors’ rooms on tast
ern building; eleven class rooms and one
supply room in central building, being sev
en class rooms and one supply room In
excess of the rooms in the old burnt
building.
In consequence of the action of the
Board of Public Education suggesting a
meeting of Ihe trustees of Chatham
Academy with them to consider the re
building of the academy, this report was
received by the trustees and action there
on suspended. A resolution was passed
at that meeting adopting the suggestion
of the Board of Public Education that a
conference on the subject of rebuilding
Chatham Academy be had between the
trustees and Board of Education.
A join* meeting was held of these two
bodies at Chatham Academy on Feb. 26.
1900, at which Ihe rebuilding of the acad
emy was discussed at length, and a com
mittee was appointed by the Board of
Public Education to confer with the trus
tees of Chatham Academy as to replac
ing *he destroyed part of the academy
building with a modern structure. At
this meeting the cost of other school
buildings erected by the Board of Edu
cation was considered as throwing light
on the probable cost of replacing the
burnt portion of Chatham Academy by a
new building. It was explained at that
meeting that the means of the trustees
were limited. A popular subscription
was suggested, but no one believed that
sufficient response would be made, and
some of the Board of Education thought
that the public should not be asked to
subscribe. The Board of Education was
asked whether it could raise any money
to assist In this matter, and It was gen
erally agreed that no loan could be nego
tiated based merely upon the contingency
of appropriations to be hereafter made
by the County Commissioners and grand
Jury. The Board of Education frankly
admitted that while they were willing to
pay rentals If the county would provide
sufficient money therefor, and that though
they believed that the county would ap
propriate a sufficient amount of money to
enable them to pay an annual rental of
$3,000 for a number of years, should the
county fall to do so, while (hey would
regret It, they would be unable tb meet
such rental obligation.
On March 2 Col. Estlll wrote a letter
to Mr. Cunningham, stating that a com
mittee, consisting of Messrs. Denmark,.
Blun and himself, had been appointed a
committee to confer with committee
from trustees of Chatham Academy.
On March 6 a meeting of the trqstees
of Chatham Academy was held, and tho
resolution of the Board of Education ap
pointing the above-named committee was
laid before said meeting, whereupon It
was—
Resolved. That Mosers. Cunningham,
Clay and Freeman were deslgnaied to
meet the committtee of liie Board of Ed
ucation.
On Wednesday, the 14th of March, a
meeting ws held between the two com
miiteee, and a report of the result of that
meeetlng was reported In writing on Ihe
16th day of March. This report was eub
mltted by one of your committee to Mr.

CHANGES AT THE FOSTOFFICEk
New Sckednle of Hours tn Gn Into
Effect To-morrow.
Some decided changes for the Increased
accommodation of the patrons will be In
augurated at the Savannah postoffice to
morrow morning.
No stamps will hereafter be sold at the
general delivery windows. All stamps will
be sold at ihe regular stamp window. The
window will open at 8 o'clock in the morn
ing, and will close at 8 o'clock in th even
ing. From 8 o'clock In the morning until
2 o'clock In the afternoon stamps and pos
tal supplies In large amounts should be
obtained while the chief stamp clerk is In
charge of the stamp division.
Arrangements will also be made to re
ceive mall for registration at the stamp
window from 6 o clock In the evening,
when the registry division closes its win
dow, until 8 o clock. This will accommo
date a number of persons who cannot
well get to the office until the registry
window closes.
The new fiscal year for the postal de
partment begins July 1, and the Increased
business of the Savannah postoffice has
justified the department in Increasing
the clerical force, and the extended
tsrowth of the city has prompted the de
partment to assign another carrier to the
service on Oct. L
With anew and commodious public
building, with an increased carrier and
e’er cal force, and with the house system
of r-gl3:ra lon and with two sub-stations
In the city. Savannah's postal service
ought (o ’-e more satisfactory than ever
before, as It no doubt will be.
Postmaster Doyle deserves credit for the
Interest he has taken to promote the pos
tal service of Savannah, and has espe
cially sought to extend the delivery ser
vice in the new residence sections that
axe the outgrowth of the city extensions
cast, west and south, and to bring to the
notice of the p>eople the advantages of the
system of registering letters at home
with the letter carriers.
A LOT AND A HOUSE.
Chatham Real Estate Improvement
Co.*# Big Sale*
The Chatham Real Estate and Improve
ment Company has determined to close out
Us holdings in city lots, and to that end
will 6ell them at auction Tuesday. July
10, at 6 p. m., on easy terms, and when
the payments are sufficient to guarantee.
It wiil lend the money necessary to build
a house for the purchaser of a lot.
The terms are probably the most liberal
ever offered to home seekers, namely, S2O
cash, and $2.50 per month, with 5 per cent,
interest on the unpaid purchase money.
This means practically that the buyer re
ceives 5 per cent, interest per annum on
every dollar paid in, from the time that
he pays It until the last dollar is paid.
The reputation of the Chatham Real
Estate end Improvement Company, for
fair dealing, and Its ability to carry out
any promises it makes, are too well es
tablished to require a newspaper’s In
dorsement. The auction will begin at 6
P m., or a few minutes after, so as to
afford those who work until that hour, an
opportunity to buy a lot. Mr. C. H. Dor
sett, the well known auctioneer, wUI con
duct the sale, which will be under the
direction of a committee from the board
of trustees of the Real Estate Company.
On another page will be found a map of
the property.

purpose, and the riflemen are confident
that they could manage to get up enough
money to defray the expenses of the trip.
It is not proposed to ask for money with
out giving some sort of a guarantee that
it will be returned. This guarantee, how
ever, will be one of confidence, consisting
in the opinion of those asked to contrib
ute may have of the prowess of the Sa
vannah marksmen. Many very attractive
money prizes have been offered by the
Frenchmen, and no reason in the world,
the Savannahians believe, why their team
should not ch-rry off many of them. In
the event the prizes are won, there will
be the money to refund the amount ad
vanced to render the trip possible.
Mr. F. C. Wilson, Mr. C. S. Richmond,
Capt. W. G. Austin, Col. George T. Cann,
Capt. J. C. Postell and Mr. F- C. Batcey
are named as the team of five and an al
ternate who may represent Georgia if the
present plan is carried out. Most, if not
all, of these gentlemen have been re
quested by Gen. Bird W. Spencer, presi
dent of the New Jersey Rifle Association,
to visit Sea Girt to take part in practice
tiiet will determine five men who will go
to Paris to represent the United States
in the matches. All have declined, for
Savannah wants no more of Sea Girt aiter
the fiasco of,the last meet there.
The meet of the best shots in the coun
try, barring the Savannah cracks, will be
held at Sea Girt, July 4-July 14. The na
tional team will then be selected and will
sail for Paris. The international matches
will be shot during August.
It would be a great thing and ample
revenge on Gen. Spencer and the New
Jersey Rifle Association, .a Savannah
marksman said, if the team from Savan
nah should go over and prove a winner.
That is what he confidently anticipates
If the trip should be taken. No difficulty
InAhe way of the scheme presents itself
to his view, and he is certain that the
effor s of the soliciting committee will be
crowned with success.
Though the team as proposed consists
entirely of Savannahians, it will yet rep
resent Georgia, for it Is said there are no
shots anywhere else in the state that can
compare -with the best six here. The
shooting at Sea Girt and the splendid re
cords that have been made by Savannah
marksmen prove that. The magnificent
range here has afforded exceptional ad
vantages for practice, and of these the en
thusiasts have eagerly availed themselves.
The opportunity offered for the adver
tisement of Georgia and Savannah will
scarcely fail to Influence business men
who are approached by the committee
of canvassers. Fame won by the team
at Sea Girt has reached the confines of
rhe United States, but to win the big
matches at Paris would mean world-wide
renown. This consideration will doubt
less secure contributions.
The meters of the range at which the
marksmen will shoot, in Paris, when re
duced to yards, mean easy work for Sa
vannah 6hots. Something like 328 yards
will be the range, and that is as good
as could be asked. To add to the cer
tainty of the thing, the marksmen de
clare. the positions, standing, kneeling
and lying down, make it impossible for
them to miss at that range. An un
broken succession of bullseyes could be
made by some at that range if shooting
lying down. The range and the positions
seem to be the French style, for on this
side riflemen have been accustomed to
shooting farther and from more difficult
attitudes. They feel equal to anything
that others attempt, though, and it will
be with the confidence of Savannahians
that the marksmen take the trip. All of
this is doubtful if any considerable sum
would have to be raised on the outside.
The arms to be used in the contests
will be open sighted. The Springflelds
that are used by the Savannah marksmen
will serve. The open sight reservation
removes the advantage that others might
have through their sight devices.

Surety it U not vary pia**ot thing
for a man to reflect upon, that he has put
off the performance of some obvious and
manifest duty, until the decree h* F“
forth that It is "too late.” The present
is the only time that we can make sure
of. The future, with all the various pos
sibilities that It embrace*, may not be
for us. becaufh death may step In to rob
us of all opportunities except those that
pertain to the present moment. This be
ing the case, it is very clear that if a man
recognizes a certain duty as being Imper
ative upon him, his only safety lies in at
tending to it at once.
Grasp the opportunity while you may.
While the free breezes are blowing things
your way; while success follows success,
and everything promises a golden harvest,
then is it eminently proper time for you
to barrel up some of your luck or enter
prise, and life insurance of the right kin-l
affords the means. The right kind is a
policy in the Massachusetts Mutual, or
ganized 1851. Its policy provides for every
contingency, has cash, paid-up ar.d loan
values plainly written for every year, be
ginning with the second. Pays handsome
annual dividends. No waiting twenty
years to find Its ‘results’ are as good as
‘estimates.’ What is most important is
the protection of the laws of Massachu

these laws before you take any kind of a
policy. We will send all necessary infor
