A phrase deecribea the sllu atlon —there was a woman. For many tnor.tha both Hart and Hhea have been enamoured of l.txsie Johnson, a variety singer and actreaa at the Al hambra Muaic Hall. During the past year (lie woman haa lilled aeveral engagementa in Savannah and the men have teen alter nate favorites In her doubtful regard. With the subtlety of the adventuresa, she has played them ugalnat each other, and Jn the min i of each of them ha* added the mans indisposition to lie supplant'd by n rival to the passion with which she had Imbued him. There have been several jtjuarrels. The men'a unfortunate attachment for the woman was at the root of the trou ble.

"An to the Governor being opposed to state encampments, that decidedly Is no the ca*e He is opposed to a general en impment at Griffin, and many officers agree that such a rourse fs nos tvlse The Governor, however, <lo*-s approve of regi mental encampment*, and there *re sev era! reason* why they >h<m.d hr afctplwl.

With an addition to the military fund from the legislature, bringing the amount to say $30,000, how ever. both armory rent could be paid for the * onifiarile* and encampments could be held.

If such tHibxorlptbm* were received. 1 believe there would lie lit tle question about military encampments next year. "Another objection to a general encamp ment Is that there would probably be two regiments there at the same time, which means that on** of the colonels would have to pone as a general, taking command of the post. That would be right and proper if It were not for the fact that It Is the Time that the colonel needs to be a the head of his regiment He does not often get the chance to have his command In camp, and It Is not the part of Wvisdom for h’m to become a general at the very time he should lea colon* I. "The camp site at Griffin has been used too long, anyway. It is not well to en camp troops year after year upon the same ground. Hygienic reasons make It undesirable.

Regimental encampments, n proposed, would avoid thla objection for they would not lie to taled at the same plan successive years ” Cot. Obcnr's suggestion about subscrip tions from cities deolrlng encampments wa horn of the profit reaped during the Siwnlsh war by tho-e pleacee near which ramps wa re established. As there wotLd be but a regiment In camp and for but a week, the advontage* to a place would not. of course, lie very great, though they would probably lie considered wußteletit to Induce merchants to suliscrlbe small amounts to a fund Savannah, having nine of the twelve companies of the First Infantry already here, would not be so greatly IntereiUed as other places with 'mailer for.-w In the pecuniary advan tages. and her subscription* might not be so large.

Mr. Adams says that tha cvlden< * v at the Police Court hearing showed Mrs Kassel was guilty of keeping open her place of business on Sun*lay. an offense which could have been punished In the To lb*- Court. In his opinion, therefore, she Is guilty >f the substantive offense with which she was charged and the defense, urged in the Supreme Court successfully. Is merely technical. As the fines have been remit ted on tech nical grounds only, the city attorney says he has no hesitation In fighting the r - payment of the fines on similar grounds. Hence his plea of the statute of limita tions. Judge Norwood Is Irving the case, hv consent of council, without the interven tion of n Jury.
