The bearing upon the application for
temporary alimony, in the divorce case o{
Sirs Annie Boyd against W. F. Boyd, had
a .--signed for hearing in the Superior
Court yesterday morning. Because of the
non-appearance of counsel for Mr. Boyd,
t he hearing was postponed.
The partial preliminary hearing, how
ever, developed some rather Interesting
snd amusing incidents, in which Mr.
Boyd, himself a lawyer, Mr. R. L. Cold
iug counsel for the plaintiff, and Judge
EeMgant participated.
U was shortly after 1 o'clock when the
parties appeared In court. The hearing
in another case had been in progress the
earlier part of the morning and the aS
itkmiv question had been displaced. Mr.
Boyd was not accompanied by counsel;
the plaintiff, a handsome and attractive
joung woman, sat by the side of Mr.
Coiling and assisted biro with occasional
suggestions and bits of advice.
Mr. Boyd opened the bail by asking for
a postponement. He said that in the ali
mony branch of the case, he was repre
sented by Mr. W. P. Laßoche and that
jlr Laßoche, who lives near Isle of Hope,
had not arrived in the city. Mt. Holding
suggested that in the demurrer to the
libel for divorce filed by the defendant
the names of Messrs. Twiggs & Oliver
appeared as counsel.
"Well," said Mr. Boyd, "they do not
represent mo in the trial of the alimony
proceeding. For sufficient reasons, I have
not been willing to impose on Mr. Oliver,
who will represent me at the hearing of
the divorce case, the additional burden
of representing my Interests at tills hear
ing. I have employed Mr. Laßoche, and
as to this branch of the case he is my
counsel.”
Counsel and Judge Failigant talked over
this situation for some minutes, the
judge saying he was rather unwilling to
continue the hearing, after It had once
been definitely assigned, unless the rea
son for Mr. Laßoche's absence could be
and was made to appear.
"The court Is advised,” said Judge
Failigant, with a twinkle in his eye, "that
Mr. Laßoche formed one of a party that
went on a fishing trip yesterday. I do
not wish to make any insinuations—on
the contrary I dewire to express my per
fect confidence in Mr. Laßoche’s dis
cretion, but I would like to have my
nund set at rear about the results of
that trip."
Afterwards Judge Failigant was asked
if the court was accustomed to take Judi
cial cognizance of the fact that those who
went on fishing trips failed sometimes tc
show up the next day.
Weil," he answered, “since my boy
hood 1 have heard the expression 'he
drinks like a fish.’ While the members
of the bar of Savanauh are not wont to
become affected in this way, 1 can’t tell
what will be the effects of so injurious an
example."
After some further discussion of the
matter, it was agreed between Mr. Boyd
and counsel for his wife that the hearing
should go over until to-morrow. This
agreement Judge Failigant stamped with
his approval and the matter took that
course.
ft is probable that even the bearing up
on the application for temporary alimony
will be interesting, and the divorce case
itself, which has been assigned for May
H gives promise of being one of the most
sensational in Savannah’s recent experi
ence.
Mrs Boyd, in her petition to the court,
has charged her husband with all sorts
of things. Among other charges she says
that on one occasion he flourished a razor
over her head while she was sleeping and
threatened to kill her. On still another
o easion, she alleges, he attempted to
shoot her. Another charge is that he
opened her trunk in her absence and took
therefrom SIOO of her money, left to her
by her first husband.
"I hope,” said Mr. Boyd yesterday, "the
public will understand that these arc
charges, made by my wife, and not prov
en to be facts. 1 am so bitterly chagrined
ar.d humiliated by tnis entire proceeding
1 scarcely know what to do; I am anx
ious, however, that my friends and the
public should bear with me and not
censure me until the facts become known.
T have done everything possible to
bring my wife hack to me and to stop
,h is proceeding. Understanding, as I do,
'hat she is only indirectly responsible for
what she has done, and that she hus
been Induced to take this step because
of evil influences that sur
round her, I have made myself ridiculous,
even, by my attempts to bring about
p.a'-e between us. Because of the love I
hate borne her, I have refrained from
niaking any charges against her.
The groundless and absurd allegations
of her amend**! petition, fl.ed a week ago,
•"■riefi to destroy the affection I have
borne her and put me on notice that she
wviukl strive still more to humiliate me
B nd destroy my reputation in the eyes of
tie- public. The charges she had made
hi ’*l any wish f had previously enter
tain.d to live with her again. I then told
counsel that if he would withdraw
hi* offensive charges and make no ap
-I’l -"ion for permanent alimony, I would
"gilt her petition and would make no
ii i t to prevent her obtaining the divorce
•he seemed so ardently to desire. This
she rejected.
‘ have still refrained from making
J l, ’"-eB against her, but the position she
h, ‘ taken in the matter will force me to
defend myself. I think 1 shall be able
jo demonstrate that X am not wholly to
‘dims.” ,
dt. h. L. Cold lug. counsel fbr Mrs.
,v '* stated that the reason the cruel
" atment his client claimed to have re
'd at the hands of her husband was
lua-d |„ the amended petition with
' - in i, b particularity, was because the
| ’"'i tant had filed a demurrer to the
Lml petition, In which he objected,

W here the wild beasts grow! and whine,
And we’ll run them down the mountain
Towering o’er the Mystic Shrine.

They will hear all kinds of noise
In the trip they make toward Mecca,
Through the desert, with the boys."
"From many lands across the sands.
The Faithful will come marchin’ in
To see the show, in fez and bow,
And some in shirts there’s washln’ in.
"The potentate will mind the gate,
And have the band to play; and he
Will spread his chest and heave his
breast,
And welcome all the company.
“The camels first will quench their thirst
In stuff that's gobd for washin’ In,
And then, the boys, to start the noise,
Will sip some there's a caution in.

Would be a strong temptation.”

THE MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY. APRIL 28, 190 L
ORTH STEIN IS DEAD.
X Ml "■ ■
Newspaper Man, Who Was Well
Known In Savannah, Died In New
Orleans.
Orth Stein is dead. The end came in
New Orleans, where he tiad been at work
for three years on.tire Times-Democrat.
He was conducting a "By-the-By” cbL
umn that was widely read and widely
quoted. His ability in newspaper work
was displayed to advantage in this legit
imate field, and the many who had known
him in Savannah and In Georgia as the
editor of the Looking Glass an(l who were
aware of the column he was conducting
for the Times-Democrat, wondered that
he had ever so subverted his talent as to
devote them to so nefarious a sheet as
the Georgia publication of which he was
the father.
Stetn will be readily recalled as the ed
itor of the Looking Glass in Savannah.
The city became too warm for him and
for his work, and he left- Atlanta then
knew him, but relished the Looking Glass
but little more than had Savannah. Stein
found that he could do no better by re
turning to a legitimate sphere of news
paper work.
Consumption was the complaint that
carried Stein off. He had long been a
sufferer from the dread disease, but had
continued bravely at his work. For the
past six months he had been confined to
his bed, but he still did his writing. Up
to -the day of his death, he conducted
the column that has had a distinctive
place in American journalism.
An application of the injunction, de
mortuls nil nisi lionum, saves Stein from
the publication of incidents in his check
ered career that reflect less to his credit
than do the brilliant newspaper efforts
he has made. Orth Stein was an Intensely
interesting character. His work was dis
tinctive—at times surprisingly brilliant.
The son of a prominent Indiana lawyer
and politician, he entered newspaper work
at Lafayette. Ind., at the age of seven
teen. At IS he drifted West and became
city editor of a paper in LeadviUe, Col.
It was while in Ix-adville that he began
to attract attention. Some of his special
stories of that period are still spoken of
by the veterans. One in particular, the
story of a prehistoric cave
containing a lake (a “fake" pure and
simple H was) attracted attention in Eng
land and the staid and sturdy Britishers
were on the point of sending an archaeolo
gist to investigate when the "fake” was
exposed. Following the LeadviJ.e expe
rience came a period of storm and stress.
Many black pages entered into the imme
diate years that followed. He drifted
from place to place, working on various
papers, leading the life of an adven
turer. Everywhere he made a definite
impress—he was either cordially hated
or warmly liked.
MISLAID COURT PAPER
Cansed Postponement In Brook*'
Motion for New Trial.
The bearing upon the motion for anew
trial filed by Henry Brooks, the convicted
murderer of Policeman Harry B. Fender,
was to have been had in the Superior
Court on yesterday. Because of the fact
that a paper had been misplaced, and was
not to be found, tbe official court stenog
rapher had not been able to .complete hte
record and transcript of the proceedings.
For this reason, Messrs. Oli
ver. counsel for the defendant, moved the
court to declare a postponement of the
Rearing. The solicitor general made no
‘objection, and by consent of counsel the
hearing was set for May 4. All the rights
of both the state and the occßSed, al
lowed by the original order, providing for
a hearing on the motion for anew trial,
are preserved by the order granted yes
terday.
FOLK NONG AND SKETCHES.
Miss Caroline Lewis Gordon at the
Lawton Memorial.
Miss Caroline Lewis Gordon, daughter
of Gen. John B. Gordon, will give her
evening of “Negro Folk Song and Orig
inal Sketches from Plantation Life,” at
the Lawton Memorial, on Tuesday night.
Miss Gordon will be introduced to the
brilliant audience the is certain to ad
dress by Judge Robert FalHgant.
In the short time that has elapsed since
Miss Gordon has been on the lyceum plat
form, she ha* achieved an already wide
and well-deserved distinction. Critics,
North end South., have praised the beauty
and accuracy of her interpretations of
negro life* and character. Of her ability
Harry Stillwell Edwards, than whom
there are few higher authorities on the
subject, has this to say:
“To reproduce the negro folk songs In
all their perfection, so many qualifica
tions are essential it is not remarkable
that few people succeed. One must pos
sess first of all, that quality of voice
which dwells only among the Telaxed yet
vibrant vocal chords, and this I have
never found in any instance separated
from a Southern heredity. Nearly all
negroes possess It. With ft must be com
bined dramatic conception, a knowledge
of the negro’s mental bias and of his
traditions. To have been, .when the mind
was In its plastic state subjected to the
influences of the negro's environment Is
also essential. By accident of birth, by
association, and by native genius Miss
Caroline Lewis Gordon meets every re
quirement, and brings to her perform
ance the finish of conscientious study, a
fine stage presence, and the grace of an
unerring taste. It is to be hoped that as
her study progresses she will place on
record the folk songs she may resurrect.
I am as certain as of anything yet unde
veloped, that all distinctive American
music will rest on a basis of our old
slave melodies and rhythms.”

TOO BAD A PRECEDENT.
Snpt. Ashmore Oppose* Collections
In Pnhltc Schools.
There won’t be any collections in the
public schools of Savannah for the bene
fit of the Winnie Davis Memorial. Supt.
Ashmore Is unalterably opposed to any
plan that permits collections from the
school children for any purpose, and
though he approve* the memorial to the
"Daughter of the Confederacy," not
willing to permit an entering .wedge for
a system in which he see* the possibili
ties of great evil.
The Daughter* of the Confederacy of
the state are building a dormitory for
girls at the State Normal School, at Ath
ens, which is to be called the Winnie Da
vis Memorial. The committee having in
charge the raising of funds for this pur
pose has sent out an appeal to the heads
of the public schools of the various cities
and towns of Georgia, asking that May
10 be set aside as a day for holding ap
propriate exercises and taking tjp a col
lection for the erection of the memorial.
“I have nothing but the highest respect
for the Daughters of the Confederacy
and their patriotic work,’’ said Mr. Ash
more yesterday, "and tine movement to
erect a memorial to Miss Davis has my
entire sympathy. I am determined, how
ever, in my opposition to any plan that
will permit collections to be taken up
among the children of the public schools
for any purpose. I have applications of
similar nature almost every day and I
invariably refuse them all. To permit
one such collection to be taken up would
establish a dangerous precedent, and I
should feel myself derelict lo my duty
if I permitted it.”
CHANGES ON SEABOARD.
Mr. XVIHIam Butler, Ir„ Made Di
vision Passenger Agent.
Mr. William Butler, Jr., who has been
traveling passenger agent for several
years at Savannah for the Florida Cen
tral and Peninsular, and. when that line
was merged with the Seaboard, for the
latter company, will be made division
passenger agent of the Seaboard Air Line,
with headquarters at Savannah. The
appointment will be affective on May 1.
Mr. Butler’s many friends will congrat
ulate him upon hta promotion. He has
been in the railroad business for a num
ber of. years, and has always been re
garded as an excellent passenger repre
sentative. Hi* appointment is to a posi
tion of importance, as he is to have
charge of a territory extending from
Jacksonville to Columbia, and from Sa
vannah to Montgomery.
Mr. F. V. Peterson will succeed Mr.
Butler as traveling passenger agent at
Savannah. Mr. Peterson has been trav
eling passenger agent at Jacksonville for
the Seaboard since the consolidation. He
filled that position In Savannah for the
Georgia and Alabama before the con
solidation. and whs successful in his work.
His many Savannah friends will be glad
to have him back again.
Another change made bjr the Seaboard
is at Atlanta, where Mr. W. E. Chris
ti*rn who has been general agent of the
company at Portsmouth, will succeed Mr.
W. H. Tate, who has resigned the posi
tion of assistant general passenger agent
to accept that of commercial agent at
New Orleans for the New Orleans and
Northeastern. Still another change is
the appointment of Mr. W. H. Doll, trav
eling pas-semger agent, to be general agent
for the passenger department at Wash
ington.
Mr. W. G. Coleman, general traveling
passenger agent for the Seaboard Air
Line, with headquarters at Washington,
was among the visitors in the city yes
terday. He announced the changes in
the Seaboard passenger service.
THE VETEHANS’ PICNIC.
Will Be Given at Tybee Island an
tlie Tenth of May.
The picnic of the Confederate Veterans
Association will be given at Tybee on
May 10. The sale of tickets for the occa
sion has already been begun, everything
possible win be done by the committee*
having the matter in charge to make the
picnic pleasant and enjoyable and the vet
erans expect that the picnic will be very
largely attended.
The Daughters of the Confederacy will
attend and they will carry with them, as
their guesis, the members of Winnie Deri*
Chapter of Children of the Confederacy.
To permit the children to attend the pic
nic tne Board of Education ha* agreed to
give those who are members of the chap
ter a holiday. Thei be a special com.-
mittee of tbe Daughters to look after
thoss of the children who will not be ac
companied by their parents and this com
mittee will see to it that every child who
attends has a good time and is returned
safe in the evening.
The demands made upon the income of
the Confederate Veterans’ Association
have latterly beoome so great that the in
come is not sufficient to meet noeenoary
expenditures. There are relief, charitable
and patriotic object* to which the asso
ciation feels called upon to contribute,
which make heavy drains upon it, none of
which, however, the association care* to
Ignore or refuse 40 help.
The proceed* of the picnic *re to be de
voted to this purpose, and it is hoped to
raise a fund that will be amply sufficient
to meet all probable demands upon the
association's treasury. Maj. J. R. Shel
don Is chairman of the committee having
arrangements for the picnic in charge, and
he i* receiving the active aidi of a corps
of capable assistants. Extra trains will,
be run to the island during the day.

They cost a little more than ordinary ready-made clothes, but far less than
your custom tailor will charge. Nevertheless, they witl equal your tailor's produc
tion in every detail and give you exactly the same satisfaction, and with these
clothes ordinary ready-made garments cannot by any means be compared. We
are always glad to show these garments to the most particular men, for we know
that they stand alone as representatives of perfect tailoring at a moderate cost.
Your money back for the asking is a rule never broken here.
Suits, $15.00 to $25.00.

great difficulty will be experienced tn get
ting signer* to tbe petition. The move
appears to be a popular one and it I* con
ceded that there hould be no delay in
having the cobble stones taken up and
pome smooth paving material put down.
The railway officials have not yet. an
nounced what they propose to do if it is
decided to pave the street with vitrified
brick, but there seems to be no doubt
that in such event the Whitaker * tract
line will be abandoned and the tracks
will be moved. This, is tbe logical conclu
sion and those on the inside say that all
that will have to lie done wifi be to an
nounce that the street will be repaved.
The street railway company It 1* known
would find it much cheaper to abandort
the line, provided no other company be
allowed to use the street.
