10 HOTTEST AUGUST DAY KNOWN. HERCIRV TOPPED THE 102 DE GREE MARK. Broke the An&iiMt Record for Thirty Year*—lo3 Degrees the Highest Ttguiperature on Record and That in July—The Hot Spell Hue to a High Pressure Area Over Southeast Georgia—Relief Only by the De velopment of how Pressure or Storm t enter and None in Sight. The record of high temperatures for August for thirty years was broken yes terday when at 2:30 o’clock mercury reach ed the hitherto unreached height of 102 degrees. Never before since the establishment of the weather bureau has such a temper ature been recorded in August and only four times has it reached even so high u mark as 100 degrees. Of these four the first was on Aiig. 20. 1879. and the others on Aug. 5. € aDd 7 of last year. In the record for the entire thirty year's yesterday’s temperature has been exceed ed bin twice: July 11 end 12, 1879. when the maximum temperature was 103 and 105 respectively. Only five times in the same length of time has it been equalled, each time in July, the years being '75, ’79, 'SI. ’B7, and ’97. Next to the temperature of yesterday and the equally high mark made in 1897, the highest in recent years is the point reached on May 30. 1898, when 101 degrees was reached, which was the highest point ever recorded for a May and the record for the year of ’9B. Observer Boyer, in charge of the Weather Bureau, attributes the unusual ly high temperature to the fact that for over a week there has been an area of high pressure over Southeast Georgia, not of very great strength, hut sufficient to j keep the sky cloudless, thus allowing the I rays of the sun to fall direct upon the I earth. The only relief that ran be hoped for, he says, is the development of an area of low pressure, or storm center, and there seemed to be a possibility of this yester day morning in the neighborhood of Cape Hatteras, but whether, even if it should form, it woUid extend sufficiently far down the coast to be fell here is problematical. The state forecast for to-day is for lo cal rains and cooler. To-morrow show ers are predicted. Light to fresh south west winds may be expected. Despite the unusual heat yesterday but one prostration was reported. This oc curred about 11 o’clock, in the Park Ex tension. where a white woman, middle aged, and evidently a stranger, was over come. She was assisted on the band stand until the police could be notified, when she was taken to the Savannah Hospital. Two horses were overcome, however, one of which, belonging to Messrs. Rimes Bros., died. It fell at Gordon and Dray ton streets, about 3 o’clock, and died shortly afterward. The other horse, be longing to the E. & W. Laundry, fell on Bull street, near Harris, but was down only a short time before it recovered suffi ciently to go to its stable. chaxce for a free library. Mr. Tarver's Proposition to the City Council. Asa starter for a free public library, Tarver, the old book man, at Turner’s Hall, offers the city his entire collees tion on what he considers a reasonable plan. In case the city rejects or cannot accept his offer Mr. Tarver says It is open to any other city—first come first served. The plan Mr. Tarver proposes Is for the city to approximate the value of the library and either buy outright or he will loon the Mbrary and run it under a board of directors appointed by the Mayor end City Council. A public bathhouse in connection with the library Mr. Tarver thinks would be a good thing. Mr. Tarver was one of the charter membe.rs of the Y. M. C. A. with Col. R. D. Locke and Col. A. N. Wilson and E, F\ Cunningham and others who were Its organizers and promoters, ond first recommended a reading room for the association in 1886. Needing a home for his library, Mr. Tar ver suggests either of the following ways for the city to adopt: Furnish a suitable home or lend him money or buy outright hie collection and present it to the city as a starter for a free library. Mr. Tarver will petition the City Council 10-morrow night to appoint a committee to take un der advisement the feasibility of taking charge of the library which he proposes to sell or loan for a number of years. In either case, Mr. Tarver offers to run the library upon the most economical plan. O' THE CHOI .NO OF CKI ELTY. Camilla Rurch Obtained a Total Di vorce Front Her Htwband. A second verdict and a decree of total di vorce from her husband, John H. Burch, were granted Mrs. Camille Burch in the Superior Court yesterday. By the terms of the verdict and decree the maiden name of the plaintiff, CamiiU Scott, is restored to her. The petition shows that the parties were married in April. 1897, and avers that within a year or two of the time of the marriage thedefendant began the policy of cruelty a nd abuse that continued until July of last year, when it culminated in his total, wilful and causeless desertion of the plaintiff. She insisted that her hus band had struck her repeatedly, and in every conceivable and inconceivable way had striven to make her life miserable and unhappy. The grant of the decree of divorec was not at all bitterly contested by the de fendant, and it followed the filing of the petition in due time and almost as a mat ter of course. The first verdict was ob tained at the last term of Ihe court and the grant of the second verdict, accom panied by the decree, completes the legal and lota) separation of the parties. SUPPOSED TO UE Ul H<l LARS. Two While Dor, Charged With Rob bery of Mr. Gillespie's House. Two white boys, John Foster and J. Bailey, were arrested yesterday by De tective Stark on the charge of having entered and robbed the house of Mr. S. F. B. Gillespie, No. 103 Duffy street, east, an account of whk’h was published in Sunday's Morning News. Two white boys were seen climbing over the fence of Mr. Gillespie's yard on the day when the robbery is supposed to have taken place by a nearby resident. He went to the barracks yesterday and aaw the two that had been arrested. He was unable to swear that they were the ones that he had seen come from th* yard, but thought tha' they looked like them. Both boys ore qulle young Bailey ha hitherto not been known to the police, but Foster has been in a number of scrapes before, desplfs his youth.

Blon Makes the Assertion of C'apt. Henry McAlpin. The use of the name of Capt. Henry ' McAlpin as a prospective Republican ; candidate for congressman from this dis -1 trict has caused no end of speculation. | Capt. MeAlpin’s Democratic friends are i inclined to view the report with some doubt, while the leaders of the Republi can faction, which is expected to put him in nomination, all look wise and declare that they have no information on the subject. Capt. Henry Blun, Jr., supervisor of the census, was one of those approached on the subject yesterday. “I have not the slightest idea that Capt. McAlpin will be the candidate of any party in No vember,’’ said Capt. Blun. "In fact, I Know nothing about it beyond what I have seen in the newspapers. I heard some indefinite rumors to this effect a few days before, but I have never heard anything from Capt. McAlpin or from any of the Republican leaders to indi cate that he might be a candidate. Of course, there can be no candidate until the convention acts, and until that time 1 do not think any one will be able to say who the candidate will be." Capt. Blun holds, however, that Capt. McAlpin is well fitted from a party standpoint to make the race for which he is mentioned. "Capt. McAlpin has always been affiliated with t!te Republi can party," he said. "He may not have taken the trouble to put himself on rec ; ord, but his sympathies have always been with the Republican party. He is like a great many others here who are taken for granted by their associates to be Democrats, but who have held Republi can view's for some time. It is no ad vantage to them to assert their views, but w'hen the proper time comes they are ready to lake tv stand.” Capt. Blun’s assertion that Capt. McAl pin is n Republican of long standing will be something of a surprise to those who have never had reason to think him otherwise than a thorough Democrat. It would be no surprise, of course, to know that ho is not in sympathy with some of the principles now advocate by his party, but in this category are to be found a large number of citizens who have al ways been and still consider themselves Democrats. Capt. McAlpin Is still out of the city. H!s own statement of his position politi cally will probably settle the question w'here he stands and w'hether he is likely to be a congressional candidate. CASH DRIIVKRS EMPTIED. M. Am Stokes* Store Entered and Robbed. M. A. Stokes* dry goods store, No. 14 Broughton street, east, was broken into and robbed some time between midnight Saturday and Sunday afternoon, when the robbery was discovered. The thief evidently wanted money, as no goods were taken. Both cash draw ers were pried open and emptied of .all the cash they contained. Fortunately for the proprietor, this amount was small, probably not more than $5. The robbery was discovered by Mr. Stokes, who w'ent to the store in the af ternoon. As soon as he entered he no ticed that the money drawers had been broken from their fastenings and were lying on the floor empty. A careful in spection of the stock showed that it had not been disturbed. The thief ernered the store from the rear by prying open the door with a heavy stove handle, which was found in the yard when the premises w’ere subse quently examined. An entrance to the yard had been effected by climbing by the aid of a telegraph pole in Congress street lane to a shed, thence dropping to the ground. The thief was evidently familiar with the premises, and probably knew just where he could secure such tools as w'ould be needed, for in the yard he found the stove handle and after en tering. used for breaking into the drawers a hatchet that in the dark could not very well have been found by one unac quainted with its location. It had been the custom of Mr. Stokes to leave the key on the inside of the rear door after locking it at night. The thief took the key with him, but dropped it in bis flight, as it was found on the top of a step ladder that the man had used to reach the shed after he had secured the money. The negro porter. Maxwell, was Imme diately suspected by both the proprietor of the store and Detective Garrity, who was sent to look up the case. He was arrested yesterday morning when he re ported at the store. CENSUS WORK DONE. Supervisor Illun Has Only Minor Errors to Correct Non. Capt. Henry Blun, Jr., has practically completed his work as supervisor of the census for this district. All the docu ments have been forwarded to the Census Bureau at Washington, end Capt. Blun’s only work In the census line now is to see to the correction of minor errors in schedules sent back for this purpose. The Census Bureau is very exacting, and the slightest error on the part of the enumerator will cause his schedule to be sent back. Those of the enumerators, whose work has been checked up and approved at Washington have received their money. Many are still waiting. The checks are sent direct to the enumerators, and not through the supervisor. About the only uncompleted work in this district are three industrial schedules which appear to have been lost between Savannah and Washington. Some of the country enumerators misunderstood their instructions and forwarded these schedules to Washington, instead of sending them to the supervisor at Sa vannah. If the schedules cannot be found it may be necessary to have the work done over again. Capt. Blun says he has no idea when the census count for Savannah will be announced. He still adheres to his for mer calculation of a 25 per cent, gain for Savannah over the census of 1890, which would give a population of upward of 54,000. WILL BE GIVEN A TEST. Arrival of LaFrnncr Fire Engine Company Agent Now Awaited. The big new triple-hitch La France (Ire engine, which recently arrived, is still at headquarters awaiting the arrival of the agent of the company, when the offi cial test of the engine will be made to as certain If the machine comes up to speci fications. No LaFrance engine purchased by the city has yet failed to come up to I specifications and there is no reason to I expect otherwise in this ease. The location of the new engine has not l been definitely decided as yet, but the j probabilities are that It will lie placed at ' headquarters and the big triple-hitch cn -1 glne there transferred (o No. 1 on Brough ton street. In thlr case the engine t No. ) will probably be Installed at the new engine house In the southwestern section of the city.

THE MORNING NEWS: TUESDAY, AUGUST 21, 1900. MAYOR MYERS ON BRYAN. | CANNOT CARRY NEW YORK OH ANY EASTERN STATE, HE SAYS. IlnslncKs Men N\ ill Note for McKin ley This N ear as They Did in ISIHJ. The Machine l>cmocrat*y Mtire In terested in State and City Affairs, flrjnn May Win by Carrying Some of the Leading Western States, llusiness Men Watching the Chi nese Situation Very Closely—War Among the Powers Would Serious ly Interfere With American Ex port Tratle. Mayor Myers returned to the city yes terday after an absence of nearly a month spent in New York. He has been looking after the affairs of the Cuban-Ameriean Manufacturing Company, one of the larg l esc cigar manufacturing companies in the country, during the absence of his broth er, Mr. Sigo Myers. Mqjfor Myers was on hand at his usual hour at the City Exchange, relieving Act ing Mayor Dixon, who has presided since the departure of Acting Mayor Tiedeman, chairman of Council. When seen by a Morning News reporter the mayor said that he brought back very little news of interest. "It has been mostly business with me." he said. " and I have given very little time to recreation." "How about the political situation?" he was asked. "What are Bryan’s chances in New York?" “I don’t think that Bryan has the ghost of a show* of carrying New York or any other Eastern State," replied the mayor. "It is true that my associations were chiefly with the business men and I am merely stating their views of the situa tion. I did not circulate to any extent gmong the politicians. The business men occupy practically the same position to day that they did in 1596. They voted for McKinley in 1896 and they expect to vote for him this year. There are a good many who disagree with him in his imperial istic views, hut they consider other ques tions of superior importance and will vote accordingly. The business element gener ally seems satisfied with the manner in which the administration is handling the Chinese situation and approves the conser vative policy announced by it on that question." "But how about Tammany and the Democrat Is machine? What will they ac complish for Bryan?" the mayor was asked. “1 did not see any indications of any un usual efforts in Mr. Bryan’s behalf by the machine leaders." he replied. "They will go through the usual performance and will doubtless make a fair showing, but I do not think they have the slightest hope of carrying New York for Bryan. All their efforts are being concentrated for the con trol of state and municipal affairs. The success of the national ticket is a sec ondary consideration with them." "I do not mean to say," said Mayor Myers, "that Bryan cannot be elected, but whai I do say is that if elected, his election must come by the votes of the South and the West. He has the South solid. Ken tucky will go Democratic and perhaps Maryland. He will not carry New' Y’ork. New Jersey, Connecticut, or any other Eastern state. The Democratic battle must be fought in the large Western states. Illinois is debatable ground. Bryan has a fighting chance in Michigan and Wisconsin, and Indiana looks very favor able. It is possible for Bryan to win without carrying a single Eastern state, but it is an uphill battle." As to the business outlook. Mayor Myers said that present conditions are fairly sat isfactory, and the prospects good, though not unduly bright. A great deal depends upon the outcome of the trouble in China. "Our export trade," the Mayor said, has reached vast proportions and has be come of immense importance to the busi ness of the country. Should the Euro pean nations become embroiled because of their inability to agree on a settlement of the Chinese question, this trade would be very seriously interfered with and busi ness affected accordingly. It is this mat ter which gives the business men serious thought for consideration at present and makes them uncertain of the future." Personally Mayor Myers does not think the Powers will go to war over China. They are all too heavily in debt, he says, end they realize that warfare under moi ern conditions is a very expensive busi ness . CASE DRAWS TO ITS END. Judgp TvrijrK* Will Make Final Ar gument In Evans* Damnife Suit. The much-tried case of Mrs. Elizabeth Evans against the Savannah, Florida and Western Railway is drawing toward Its conclusion in the City Court. For five days of last week the trial of the case went on, and to-day the end is promised and expected. Mrs. Evans is suing the company for $20,000 damages for the homicide of her husband, who wds killed by an engine belonging to the company at Lakeland, Fla. The evidence introduced has been exceedingly and at time painfully volum inous, the almost numberless points at issue rendering this course necessary. The law’ of the case was argued yes terday by Judge Twiggs, for the plain tiff, and Mr. Chisholm, for the defend ant, and when the recess was taken the latter had Just concluded his address to the jury. Judge Twiggs will make his arfgument to the Jury this morning, and, with the charge of the court, the de cision of the issue will be left in the hands of the twelve men impaneled to determine it. TNVKVI * - EIGHT RIFLE TEAMS. Col. Cnnn Expects Till* ’Number for (lie Content* at Avondale. Col. George T. Cann, state inspector general of rifle practice, stated yester day that he bad received assurances from company comanders throughout the state ihar Justified him in the belief that twenty-eight company teams would corn pea* for the De Soto cup in the rifle and carbine contests of next month. Every company, troop and battery of the Georgia State Troops in Savannah will be represented on the range. The Chatham Artillery has secured the loan of a sufficient number of rifles from the Guards to permit the practice of its men on the range, and will from now on seek to achieve a degree of proficiency with the Infantry arm. The Chathams num ber some good shots, and though they labor under disadvantages that are not present with the infantry and cavalry commands are reasonable certain to make a creditable showing when It comes their time at the butts. NOT SO HOT AT THE RESORTS. Mr. R. W. Min 11 li Did Not Find It So at Coast Miimauerlng Place*. Mr. E. W. Smith, contracting freight agent of the Ocean Steamship Company, i has relume l from the North, where he ] has been spending a month. During his | stay away Mr. Smith say* he encountered hot weather, but nothing to compare with the present conditions in Savannah. "Much b* said about the hot weather at Northern seaside resorts," ►aid Mr. Smith, "but the heat ihere is only intermittent, i The drpiessingly hot weather Is moder ated by occasional blow a off the <oad. whh h relieve the summering places vl a AvuLhuvd fcivt apiii. * ' I SOI THSIDEKS’ PETITION. Alderman Dixon Says There In Some Minnii>rehcn*lon iih to Sidewalks. A number of the residents and property owners south of Anderson street have signed a petition to be presented to Coun cil to-morrow afternoon in which they "call attention to the ordinance passed by you over a year ago. requiring property owners south of Anderson street to put down sidewalks within a specified time. A greet many of us obeyed this law and had our sidewalks put down immediately, but we notice that there are a number of blocks yet without sidewalks, especially corner of Bull and Seventh streets, while but very few of the cross streets have any sidewalks.” Attention Is called to the fact that the Thomas Park walks are only paved north and south and that there are no walks on Fifth and Sixth streets, nor are there any sidewalks around Wells’ square. Attention is also called to the need of street cross ings. The attention of Alderman Dixon, choir man of the Street and Lane Committee, and of Director Gadsden of the Public Works department, was called to these complaints of the Southsiders recently. "The sidewalks ordinance referred to." said Alderman Dixon, "does not require the paving of ell sidewalks south of An derson street. The ordinance simply re quires the paving of certain north and south streets and the property owners were given considerable time in which to comply with the ordinance. We were very lenient with the property owners, giving them the benefit of the full limit and some times more. The time has about expired and the work is practically complete. No sidewalks were placed along Fifth and Sixth streets along Thomas Park, because the ordinance does not require it. A good many of the other sidewalks referred to by the petitioners have not been put down because the ordinance does not require it." Alderman Dixon said as the Southsid ers seemed anxious for sidewalks another ordinance to complete the work in that section would, doubtless, be introduced at an early date. Director Gadsden said that in the mat ter of street crossings a number had al ready been pu-t down south of Anderson street and this work is still in progress. HONORED DY THE AIM IIBISHOP. Bishop Kelley a Guest nt the Prel ate's Reception In New Y’ork. Bishop Kelley of Savannah was a guest of the reception committee which for mally welcomed Archbishop Corrigan on his return to New York from Europe a few days ago. The reception was a nota ble one. Archbishop Corrigan is one of the most distinguished prelates of the Roman Catholic Church in this country and ho was welcomed from his tour abroad by several hundred of the clergy of New York. The Archbishop returned on the St. Louis. The reception committee, on a tug, met the liner just inside of Sandy Hook. At quarantine the Archbishop was trans ferred to the tug and formally welcomed by Bishop Farley of New York. The Archbishop was greeted by all of Ihe assembled clergymen, who, kneeling, kissed his episcopal ring, receiving his blessing in return. The Arch bishop took a seat on a bench and was talking to Bishop Farley when Father Kean of St. James* church brought forward the Rt. Rev. Dr. Keiley, Bishop of 'Savannah, and presented him to the Archbishop, w’ho invited the Southern prelate to a seat on his left, and during a considerable portion of the time consumed in making the run to the city conversed with him. While abroad the Archbishop had six audiences with the Pope. He made a re port regarding the progress made in his diocese during the past decade, and showed the Pope an album containing photographs end descriptions of all the Catholic churches, monasteries, semina ries, parochial schools, religious institu tions, hospitals, nnd homes that come un der his supervision. The Archbishop vis ited the Passion Play at Oherammcrgau and the Paris Exposition. In England, he was the gues-t of Cardinal Vaughn. While there the Archbishop was invited, through Ambassador Choate, to attend Queen Victoria’s garden party. After leaving England, the Archbishop went to Ireland, where he was the gues-t of Arch bishop Walsh and of Thomas Kelly. REFUSED A NEW TRIAL. Oyitermen MnM Make Their Fight Before* the Supreme Court. Judge Falligant rendered a decision in the Superior Court yesterday in the case of the state against Lewis Fraser, the particular question decided being the de fendant’s right to anew trial, for which a motion had been made by his counsel. Fraser is one of the two-dozen negroes indicted for gathering oysters from leased beds, which is a misdemeanor under the laws of the state. The men were proved guilty of having abstracted oysters from beds leased by Capt. Gus Oemler and sit uated on Wilmington island and in the adjacent waters. The motion for anew trial was based on the usual statutory grounds, that the verdict was contrary to the evidence and that the charge of the court was erroneous. Judge Falligant’s decision overrules the motion and denies the new trial which is asked. The case is probably intended to test the question, and in all likelihood will be carried to the Supreme Court. Messrs. W. W. Gordon, Jr., and Gignil llat &. Stubbs, representing the interests of Capt. Oemler. are prosecuting the cases on behalf of the state, while the defend ants are represented by Messrs. W. P. La Roche and George W. Beckett. POLITICIANS RALLY I.N LIBERTY. II Inca v tile Expected to lie the Scene of Interesting' Event* To-day. Messrs. J. Robert Creamer and Frank W. Campos xvill leave this morning for Hlnesville to attend the rally there of the politicians of the First Congressional district. A number of the political work ers of the district have been invited to meet at Hlnesville by the district finance committee for the purpose of discussing ways and means and other things per taining to the presidential campaign now on. The possibility of Republican oppo sition in the district will also be consider ed. Besides the caucus of the politicians an other very Interesting affair at Hlnesville to-day is the senatorial convention of the second district, which is to decide the contest from Liberty county between Messrs. Smiley and Wamell for the honor of representing the' district in the state senate. Both the candidates have some warm friends 111 the convention and a lively time la expected.

HIRSCH GAVE LEG BAIL INDICTED POLICY PROPRIETOR FAILED TO SHOW I P IX COURT. I.ant of Quartette of Principal* Cap tured in the Ruid of the Sheriff and Hi* Deputies Failed to Answer W hen Hi* Name Was Called in Court Hlm Couiimol Announced That Hirncli Hud Left Town for Hlm Jlea I tli—Hotel de Sweeny Did Not Attract Him—Bond of $2,000, With M. Printer nn Security, Was E t rcu ted— M Issed the Moral of a Story. When the case of the state against Julius D. Hirsch was called by Judge Fal ligant in the Superior Court yesterday morning Hirsch failed to appear. Upon the motion of the solicitor general the )>ond given by Hirsch for his appearance was estreated. The defendant in the trial that was to have been, was one of the unfortunates captured by Sheriff Sweeny and his depu ties in the raid of two weeks ago, when the officers, by the direction of the grand jury, descended upon the temples of for tune that have thriven in Policy Row. When the three other proprietors of lot teries pleaded guilty to the indictments found against them by the grand jury, Hirsch entered a plea of Illness. Solici tor General Osborne, nevertheless, want ed the case assigned for trial, end it was at his instance that yesterday was se lected. After the sentence imposed by Judge Falligant upon Henderson and Fulton, di recting their confinement in the county jail for six months, in addition to a fine of SI,OOO and all costs, there has been con siderable speculation as to the course that Hirsch would follow’. His objections to joining his friends in misfortune in the last of their misfortunes were easily to be understood, and those who knew the man did not believe that he would sub mit himself without a struggle of some kind to the expected mandate of the court. Of course, from the long list of specu lations in which the interested indulged the possible supposition that he would not be on hand when his case was called was not lacking. On the other hand, the bond he had given was for $2,000, the security, M. Prager, is regarded as perfectly able to meet it and it has scarcely been deemed probable that Hirsch w'ould change the money bond he had given for leg bail. However, he has done it. Mr. R. L. Folding of counsel for the defendant, when Judge Falligant called the case, announced that his client, who had not been in very good health, any how, had decided to shake the dust of Savannah from his feet before the trial. This decision had been reached, said Mr. Colding. after consultation with physi cians, who had advised it very strongly. Mr. Colding said that his client had de termined to abandon the manifold ad vantages of Savannah, despite his per sonal delivery of the opinion of Judge Falligant on this subject and his added non-expert testimony as to the cool breezes that meandered perpetually through the broad corridors of the Hotel de Sweeny. Therfc were some further plcaan‘ries, and the nthe bond was estreated. A rule nisi was taken by the solicitor gen eral against Hirsch and his bondsman, directing them to have either the defend ant himself or a sufficient reason for his absence in court on Dec. 3, the first day of the next term. In the event that Hirsch does not then show’ up and his bondsman fails to explain it in a manner altogether satisfactory and in accordance with the law, the rule will be made ab solute and the bond forfeited. Under the terms of the rule nisi Hirsch has about four months in which to re cover from the illness with which he is said now to be suffering. At the expir ation of this period he may return to Sa vannah nnd stand trial, as if nothing h.d happened and without any prejudice to his case. He may believe that by this time Judge Falligant will have come to the conclusion that the scare he has ad ministrated to the proprietors of policy lotteries is already sufficiently severe and be willing to differentiate the punishment then to be meted out from that inflicted upon Henderson and Fulton. On the other hand he may be content to permit the l>ond to be forfeited and to stay away from Savannah long enough to per mit his trouble with the authorities to be forgotten. A little story that Judge Falligant tells was reproduced in the Morning News of yesterday, the moral of which was sup posed to adorn the tale of Henderson and Fulton and to illustrate the sympathy that Hirsch would show’ them. The point of the story lay in the offer of one boon companion to join his friend at the bottom of a ditch, in which the latter had fallen, in lie of any ability on his part to get the other out. The moral, of course, still remains, but its application vanished with the disappearance of Hirsch. PRIZES AT HOTEL TV BEE. VfnlMom* Awards Offered for Com petition To —iilglit.

A Fever-Stricken Camp. Everett City, Ga., July 21, IfOO—I am a strong believer in and advocate of the use of Johnson's Chill and Fever Tonic. I know what it will do. I have tried it in Cuba and the low lands of Mexico. I have been a soldier in my time and have found the Tonic invaluable in cases of camp fever. Only those who have been in the tropics as soldiers can comprehend the horrors of a fever-stricken camp, miles and miles away from its base of supplies. It was in such places that Johnson’s Tonic came in. You did not need any Calomel or quinine or any other drug. Stick to the Tonic and you will be able to eat embalmed beef again.
