    CHATHAM MOTHERS’ CLUB.
ITS PURPOSE TO STI'DV CHILDREN
IN THEIR HOME LIFE.
The Club the Kesnlt of the “New
Education’’ Movement in Savan
nah— I the Outgrowth of the Kin
dergarten—The Club to Meet Once
a Month—“Gniuea’’ to Be Discussed
at the Next Meeting.
Avery recent and most interesting
development in the progress of the
• new education" movement in Savan
nah,"'to which the Kate Baldwin Free
Kindergarten Has so largely contribu
ted, was the organization of the first
Mothers’ Club for the purpose of intel
ligent child study, at an enthusiastic
mothers’ meeting held at the Chatham
Kindergarten Thursday afternoon.
The mothei-s' meetings are a regular
feature of the kindergarten work, and
arc held once a month for the purpose
of bringing the home and the kinder
garten In. closer touch, of promoting a
good understanding of the work, and
ot helping the kindergarten to know
the children better in their home life.
Refreshments are served for the sake
of sociability, and a very pleasant aft
ernoon is enjoyed. This is very good,
but it is still better when a large num
ber of mothers decide 'to form them
selves into an organization to meet at
regular intervals for the purpose of
better understanding the principles
that govern the nature of the child
and of kindergarten work.
When Miss Pritchard, who is prin
cipal of the Chatham Kindergarten,
sent out invitations for the first moth
ers’ meeting of the year for last Thurs
day she expected a rather limited at
tendance, because it was anew thing
to the section of the city from which
the Chatham children come. It was,
therefore;,with, surprise and delight that
she and Miss Backus welcomed
thirty mothers, and before the after
noon was over, at the suggestion of
Miss Backus, a club was formed, at
which she Will only supply the special
information needed, instead of feeling
as heretofore that the whole responsi
bility of the meeting rests with her and
t he principal of the kindergarten where
the meeting is held. The club was
formally organized under the name of
the Chatham Mother’s Club. The offi
cers are:
President—Mrs. W. S. Nungezer.
Vice Presidents—Mrs. H. I. Wajt,
Mrs. J. H. McKenna, Mrs. Galina.
Secretary and Treasurer—Mrs. A. S.
Justig.
Mrs. Watt, who is a member of the
senior class, represents .the kinder
garten, and is an earnest worker for
its interests. A small yearly fee was
agreed upon in order to provide neces
sary equipments and to furnish weav
ing materials later on in the year, as
these energetic mothers wish to do
some of the manual training work
taught to the children. “I don't want
my Bessie to be able to do more than
l ean,’’ said one, and the reriiark seem
ed representative of the progressive
spirit of the meeting.
The club will meet at the Chatham
Kindergarten the third Wednesday of
each month and invites any one in
terested to attend once and then join
if they wish to do so. Although it is
especially for mothers, its roll shows
the names of several women promi
nent in philanthropic work, who feel
that this study will help them to deal
with the human problems that con
front them.
The subject for the next meeting is
“Games,” and an interesting discus
sion is expected of games of nations,
of the home, street, and school, and the
scientific explanation of them. Miss
Backus will direct the discussion and
all are expected to contribute to its
Interest.
Next Wednesday between 9 and tl a.
m. the five kindergartens will celebrate
Thanksgiving Day. This is done in
true kindergarten spirit by letting each
i ' v ’lld bring something to send to fam
ilies who have less to be grateful for,
and many well-filled baskets are sure
to result, even if our child brings only
one vegetable or fruit. A simple feast
is given to the children of the free
kindergartens, and often the princi
pals are surprised and pleased by gifts
of fruits, cake or candy, for the chil
dren, from rnpst unlooked for sources.
Thanks to the county exhibitors at
the State Fair, the kindergartens will
be more than usually attractive, as
bundles of grain, mammoth vegetables
and strings of corn make very effective
deyorations. , •
The public is invited to be preseiTt
at any of the kindergartens, the only
request made by the management be
ing that visitors will help the princi
pals to preserve order and that beau
tiful unconsciousness of being watch
ed that is such a fine result of kinder
garten training, by keeping quiet and
refraining from audible remarks on
the children or their work.
IN POLICE COURT.
Colored Militiamen Were Not Rob
ber* and Were Released.
At yesterday's session of Police Court
the charges against W. J. Britt were
withdrawn by the prosecutor, and the
prisoner was discharged with an ad
monition. Recorder Myrick warned
Britt that his next appearance in the
police tribunal would mean a sentence,
without the privilege of paying a fine.
The prisoner announced his intention
of taking a pledge to abstain from
strong drink.
The case against Joe Lane, colored,
charged with the larceny of a large
amount of brass from the Plant Sys
tem, was continued.
B. Carter and N. Wallace, the col
ored militiamen arrested as suspicious
characters, and alleged to have held
up members of their race, were dis
missed. The men were also charged
with disorderly conduct, but showed
that they had been guilty of no crime
and had only attempted to assist an
intoxicated negro and set him on the
right path. The men were returning
from a weekly drill when arrested.
Ben Sanders, found in the yard of
Capt. M. Ed. Wilson and arrested as a
suspicious character, proved that he
had gone to see a servant on the place
and was discharged.

THE NORTHTOWN IN PORT.
First Vessel of the New Line to
New York Arrived.
The steamship Northtown, Capt.
Robinson, of the Northwest Steamship
Company's new line, arrived yesterday
from Fernandina with a part cargo of
650,000 feet of lumber. She will load
about 800,000 feet more at Savannah to
finish the cargo.
The Northtown docked at the Plant
System wharves, where she will begin
loading to-morrow. After taking on a
considerable cargo there she will shift
to. the Seaboard’s terminals for the
balance. The fact the steamer has all
the necessary steam apparatus with
which to load will make it possible to
do this work in short order.
Mr. C. W. Howard, agent of the
Northwest Line at Savannah, was at
the docks when the steamer arrived.
He will not only be In charge of all
steamers while In port, but will also
be in charge of the booking of freight
room by this line. - Up to the present a
great deal has not been done in the
way of acquiring new business, as the
company has guarantees that will keep
their steamers going for a few months
to come. Until that time it may be
no active campaign will be made for
freight, but after the expiration of the
present arrangements with lumber ex
porters the line will be thrown into
competition with others for business,
and will then not only receive lumber,
but all other classes of bulk freight
as well.
Capt. Robinson of the Northtown is
an experienced seaman, having been
engaged for years in the service of the
Clyde Line, running between Charles
ton, Jacksonville and Cuban points.
The Northwest, the other steamer on
the new line, is reported to have sailed
from New York for Fernandina. Ail
the company’s vessels go first to Fer
nandina, and from there touch at Sa
vannah on their return North.
-- STATION WORK DELAYED.
New Passenger Stntlon Will Not Be
Finished by Jan. 1.
The Savannah Union Station will not
be completed within the time specified
by contract. Under the contract the
structure is’ to be finished by Jan. 1,
but the delays the contractors have
experienced in securing materials from
time to time, have served to retard the
work, and it is now expected that it
may be Feb. 1 before the station Is
finished. The contractors are now
having trouble getting the steel gird
ers that are needed for the roof.
For some months after the work on
the building commenced, it seemed
certain that it would be finished with
in the contract time. It progressed
well and without a hitch, and the
Messrs. McKenzie thought they would
be able to turn the station over to
the Union Station Company at the
stipulated, time.
The contractors are bonded to the
company to complete the structure by
the first of the year. For that reason
they will use every effort to get it
finished as quickly as possible.
The Plant System, the Seaboard Air
Line and the Southern Railway, the
three companies interested in the new
station, are anxious to have the build
ing in readiness for the heavy tourist
traffic that is expected this winter.
The fine through trains on the three
lines will be put on about the middle
of January, and it may be that the sta
tion will be ready by the time they
are run.

THE MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY. NOVEMBER 24. 1901.
SENT FREE
TO MEN.
Free Trial Package of This New Dis
covery mailed to Every Man Sending
Name and Address—Quickly Reatores
Strength and Vigor.
Free trial packages of a most remarka
ble remedy are being mailed to all who
will write ills State Medical Institute.
'A
A.E.Roblnson.M.D .C.M.,Medical Director.
They cured Su many men who had battled
for years against ihe mental and physical
suffering of lost manhood that the Insti
tute has decided to distribute free trial
packages to all who write. It is a home
treatment and all men who suffer with
any form of sexual weakness resulting
from youthful folly, premature loss of
strength and memory, weak back, vari
cocele, or emaciation of parts can now
cure themselves at home.
The remedy has a peculiarly grateful
effect of warmth and seems to act direct
to the desired location, giving strength
and development just where it is needed.
It cures all the ills and troubles that come
from years of misuse of the natural func
tions and has been an absolute success in
ail cases. A request to the State Medical
Institute, 813 Elektron Building, Fort
Wayne, Ind., stating that you desire one
of their free trial packages will be com
plied with promptly. The Institute !■ de
sirous of reaching that great class of men
who are unable to leave home to va
♦reated and the free sample will enable
them to see how easy It is to be cured of
sexual weakness when the proper remedies
are employed. The Institute makes no re
strictions. Any man who writes will be
sent a free sample, carefully sealed in a
plain package so that its recipient need
have no fear of embarrassment or pub
licity. Readers are requested to write
without delay.
WANT VESTIBULED CARS.
Street Railway Change Stopped Clr
eolation of Petition.
The fact that the Savannah. Thun
derbolt and Isle of Hope Railway Com
pany Is about to change hands, as an
nounced in the Morning News yester
day, shut off a petition asking that the
cars of the company be vestibuled. The
paper was being freely circulated and
was gotten up by a lady, although her
husband took hold of it after the peti
tion was drawn.
The letter was addressed to General
Manager Molntire and it. was intended
that it should be forwarded to him. It
was decided, however, that if the com
pany Is about to pass into other hands
there would be but little use for such
a petition. The paper which found
ready signers reads as follows:
“From a spirit of humanity, we, the
undersigned, citizens of Savannah, re
spectfully petition you to have such
improvements made on the cars of youi
company as will shield the motormen
from inclement and severe weather,
while in the discharge of their duties.
“This humane measure lias been tak
en in many cities throughout the Union
and we believe that its adoption here
will not only insure the health and
comfort of your employes, but will
greatly add to the safety of the pub
lic."
It is not believed that it would be
practicable to vestibule the present
rolling stock of the company, because
of the fact that the cars are not of very
recent make, and are not constructed
on the proper line. The company sev
eral'months ago purchased half a doz
en large vestibuled, cars for use on the
suburban lines. A contract was made
for delivery by Nov. 1. in time for use
for the State Fair. The usual "strike
clause” was incorporated In the con
tract, and the car builders say that a
strike caused the delay. General Mana
ger Mclntlre expects that the cars will
be shipped within the next few days:
at least he has such information from
the manufacturers.
HAS NO REPLY TO MAKE.
“I Hope There’ll Be No Cause for
Future Criticism.” Soys Mr. Moore.
Vice Chairman Moore of the Board of
County Commissioners and chirman of
the Committee on Drainage, said yes
terday he had no reply to make to the
strictures of the grand Jury, contained
In its general presentments to the Su
perior Court.
“When the next grand jury meets,”
said Commissioner Moore, "I trust it
will have no criticism to offer. I hope
there will be no rightful ground upon
which criticism can be based."
While Mr. Moore declined to say so,
he evidently felt that the criticisms
of the grand jury were not directed so
much at the present, as at former
boards of county commissioners, and
that the strictures were not meant for
him and his present colleagues. He
said a large amount of drainage work
would be done next year, and that
few roads would be built. The drain
age of the Plpemaker watershed, he
said, would be the next thing attempt
ed. This is the big swamp that lies
between the Augusta and Louisville
roads, west of the city. It will require
perhaps two years to complete this
work.
Work in the immediate vicinity of
the city will be done as opportunity is
given and circumstances permit. The
three gangs of convicts now employed
in the conatruction of Laßoche ave
nue and the shell road to Montgomery
and in drainage work near Burroughs,
will be brought to the city and used
ip cleaning out draips and laterals as
soon as they respectively complete the
work in which they are now engaged.

President Owens of Fair Association
Stands With Other Directors.
”1 was glad to see the interviews that
appeared in the Morning News to-day
from Mr. B. H. Levy and Col. J. H.
Estill relative to that alleged ‘freezing
out’ of stockholders of the Savannah
Fair Association and not permitting
them to share in ;the loan that was
made upon the grounds and buildings,”
said President George W. Owens of the
association yesterday.
“For my part,” said Mr. Owens, “I
would gladly allow anyone of the
stockholders to assume the debt that
I assumed. Those of the directors and
stockholders who would had to sje to
it that the honor of the city was saved,
and the only way was for them to go
down in their pockets and make up
the amount necessary to meet the as
sociation’s liabilities. We would have
been glad to have all share in tarrying
the burden."
MUSIC CLUB’S PROGRAMME.
Will Have the Grentest Musical Ar
tists of World for Concerts Here.
The Savannah Music Club is con
tinuing its active canvass for associate
members, with the object of increas
ing its membership to such a size that
It will be justified in bringing to Sa
vannah artists of recognized ability
for a series of coiyerts to be given dur
ing the coming season.
Though the movement for an in
creased membership was begun but a
short time ago, already a hundred or
more additions to the club have been
secured. It Is hoped to secure a further
addition of double that number. From
the interest shown and the results al
ready accomplished the club is san
guine that the required number of
members will be secured, and short
ly, and so is going ahead with its prep
arations for the concerts.
Among the artists that are - being
discussed with a view" of Having 'them
appear here under the auspices of the
club are Josef Hoffman, the renowned
pianist, and Mme. Schumann-Heinck,
who for the past several years has
been one of the brightest stars of the
Grau Opera Company, New York. It is
hoped to have either of these artists,
or another of equal renown, give the
first of the proposed concerts In Janu
ary.

CAMERA AND THE TREATY.
AN HISTORIC PICTURE THAT WAS
NEVER TAKE if!
I’lintngraphers Responsible for the
Early Signing of the New Hay-
I’nancetote Agreement—The Presi
dent's Dislike of Snap-shot Pic
tures—About the Postmastership
nt Tampa.
Washington, Nov. 22.—The fear of the
Lord may not^always be a moving fac
tor in the affairs of mankind, but the
fear of the camera Is certainly becom
ing a potentiality that cannot be dis
regarded with Impunity. But for the
terror of the camera and him who uses
it, the Hay-Pauneefote treaty might
still be reposing in the strong box of
the Department of State, unsealed and
undelivered. But it has' all the frills
coming to It attached, and as soon as
the Senate can get around to It it will
become a part of the law of the lands,
wherever English-speaking persons
hold the reins of power, and thereby
hangs a tale—a tale mirroring in a
prophetic sort of way a change in the
all-debating society proposition, so that
it will read: "The camera is mightier
than the sword,” instead of the pen.
As soon as it became known that
His Excellency, Lord Pauncefote, was
coming back to his post authorized
to sign the neiv treaty, the profes
sional photographers, who make pic
tures for the newspapers, began schem
ing. They wanted a “shot” at that
historic scene—the fine old British no
bleman signing away the right Great
Britain has claimed for fifty years—
that of participating in the construc
tion of an Isthmian canal In the West
ern hemisphere. Had they succeeded
in getting a picture, it would have been
"great stuff.” it would have put much
gold into their pockets.
They began on the late President,
who, always obliging to everybody,
said he was willing if Secretary Hay
and Lord Pauncefote would consent.
From the White House to the State
Department, the photographers tramp
ed. The Secretary was will
ing if the ambassador would
make no objections. Therefore,
when His Lordship set foot in
New York, the camera corps laid siege
to him. They followed him in season
and out of season. They pushed the
button at the chancellery of the em
bassy before breakfast and waylaid
the ambassador everywhere. He, too,
was willing to have a picture taken,
but and there he stopped. "But
what?” they asked him in all the forms
of speech they know. But is was sim
ply “but” with a long dash after it to
represent the dublrations of his lord
ship.
Finally the intolerable stage was
reached. That was on Tuesday morn
ing. His lordship decided that he would
cut the whole thing, Therefore, he call
ed up the State Department by tele
phone. Then there was talk something
like this:
"Hello, hello Oh, quit that. Cen
tral —is that you Hay? Yes? Well this
Is Pauncefote.
“Glad to know I’m better, eh? But
say. I’ll be glad to learn you’re ready
to sign that treaty.
"What’s my hurry, did you say?
Well, perhaps I am, but, heavens and
earth, I oan’t stand this Importuning
by these Worsted (Yes, he said It in
that cockney way) picture-makers any
longer. Here I have engagements with
three women and six or eight men for
this afternon. They are all coming to
tell me why we ought to have photo
graphs made of the scene. Why can’t
we sign It at noon and have It al! done
with? . ,
"You’re ready? Thank you: thank
you; I’ll be down right away. Sure
now. don’t disappoint me.”
And so the treaty was signed, unex
pectedly and without any snapping of
cameras.
No Snaps for Roosevelt.
Before passing, it may be remarked
that the President is developing a
horror of the camera like unto that
he is supposed to entertain for a cow
ard. Camera)* are not exactly ex
cluded from the lawn in front of the
White House, but they arc not want
ed. There is an absolute prohibition
against taking them to that part of
the grounds lying south of the presi
dential residence, which is a flne_ vel
vety lawn on which the landscape gar
dener has been able to do some effec
tive work. That part of the grounds
is sacred— exclusively for the use of
the ltoosevelt children. All the young
sters have been brought up to believe
that the picture-maker is a bad man,
and to avoid him as a duty. They
are strong believers in duty, and pic
tures made of the youngsters are gen
uine snap shots.
Policemen on duty around the White
House are no longer permitted to tell
when the President and Mrs. Roose
velt are likely to be coming out or
whether they will leave the White
House at the front, back or side door.
Circumvention of the man with the
camera is one object, of course, but
notwithstanding an impression to the
contrary the President is Just a little
bit nervous on the question of personal
danger. No needless risks are taken,
hence this secrecy.
Tampa Fostiiinstershlp.
Capt. S. A. Glenn of Tampa, Fla.,
rather expects to be appointed post
master of that place. He believes he
yvlll have strong Influence back of him,
Just a.s soon as he lets Senator Fora
ker of Ohio know he wants the office.
Glenn believes he Is the man who gave
Foraker his upward start In life. Dur
ing the Civil War, Glenn was captain
of the company In which Foraker was
serving as an enlisted man. When a
vacancy occurred In the second lieuten
ancy, he cast around for a suitable
man to fill It.
“It didn't take me long to decide that
Foraker filled the bill in every partic
ular,” said the captain, “so I recom
mended him to the colonel. That officer
objected, saying that Foraker was too
young a man for a commission. We
argued the point, but finally the Colo
nel gave In.
” ’But I’ll hold you personally re
sponsible for him," said the Colonel.
And he did, but there were no black
marks against the youngster. He filled
ail expectations.
A member of the party In which the
Captain told his story, remarked that
the season for Ohioans getting office Is
closed. That, however, doesn’t discour
age the Captain. He is bunking on the
man who got a commission through
his insistence.
Burned Money*
Americans certainly hud money to
burn last year. During the twelve
months of 1900, the 27,366 cigar facto
ries turned out no less than 6.181,991,810,
an Increase In round nuinburs of 656,-
160,000 cigars. During that same pe
riod tiiu production of cigorattes
amounted to only 3,271,800,352, a falling
off of about 490,000,000.
