Double Play to Brewer—Y. M. C. A.
and C. L. A. Teams Sow Tied for
First Plnee.
The C. L. A. ball team defeated that
of the Y. M. C. A.’s yesterday after
noon by the score of 3 to 1. In a fast
and clerer game. The victors besides
■winning the game, took also most of
the honors for individual plays as well.
McGrew, the pitcher, was especially
effective, striking out 15 men, and giv
ing no bases on balls.
The fireworks on the part of the C.
L. A.'s began in the very first inning,
when Wiggins, with two men out, pick
ed out a nice one and rapped it to
right-center field for three bases, the
first time this feat has been accom
plished this season. Hall, who follow
ed Wiggins to the bat, put a fly to
center field which Logan muffed and
Wiggins scored. Charlton retired the
side by striking out. The Y. M. C. A.
men, in tiheir turn at the bat, went out
in one, two. three order.
Neither team scored in the follow
ing inning, but in the third the Y.
M. C. A. sent a man across the plate
and tied the score. Riley, the first
man up got to first, being hit by a
pitched ball, stole second, a bad
throw from catcher to that bag start
ed for third. Hull, center field, who
had captured the ball back of sec
ond, threw low' to third and the ball
striking Riley carromed off toward the
grand stand. RHey scored before it
was recovered.
This was the only run that the Y.
M. C. A. got across the plate, but their
opponents managed to get in two more.
The first of these was in the sixth, and
as in the case of the first, it was made
by Wiggins. He hit safe to left field,
stole second and scored on a safe lilt
of Charlton's to center field, after Hull
had gone out on a fly to left.
The last run of the game was scored
in the following inning. Downey hit
a grounder to Blake who dropped it.
Leonard went out. second to first;
MoOrew hit safe to sentre field, and
Downey scored. McGrew was caught
at second and the side was retired by
J. Downey who struck out.
Though no runs were scored in the
following innings some of the best
playing took place in them. One of the
plays was a fine catch of a foul fly
which came from Stark's but was
gathered in after 'a hard run by Frank
Mclhtire, and another was a double
play from Blake to Brewer.
The game was attended by two hun
dred or more people. There was lit
tle enthusiasm at first but tow r ard the
end the “rooters” of both sides woke
up and made things lively until the
last man was out.
By winning this game the C. L. A.'s
■now tie the Y. M. C. A.'s for first place
in the league race. Each team has
won two games and lost one. The

two’ LIVELY contests.
Frnmed Ip ns Preliminaries to the
Donglns-MeLnughlin Bont.
Two interesting preliminaries have
been arranged to the pugilistic contest
of Fred Douglas and James McLaugh
lin, which will take place under the
auspices of tihe Savannah Athletic Club
Tuesday night. The first of these is a
6-round bout in which Young Joilie
and Jimmy McCabe, both local light
weights. will take part. The lads are
young, but clever, and promise a warm
go. Joilie says he is confident that he
can win. Both he and his friends will
be much disappointed should he fail
to do so.
The second of the preliminaries will
be a wrestling bout between Walter
Goodman and Bob Long. These men
have met before. They are so evenly
matched that their former bout result
ed in a draw, but neither was satisfied
with that result, and so something de
cisive may be looked for when they
meet this time. • *
PRES. WILLIAMS TO RETIRE.
Will Not Remain a* Head of Trna
teea of Fuiory.
Mr. J. P. Williams will resign the
presidency of the board of trustees of
Emory College. This statement was
made at Oxford by a member of the
Finance Committee of the board, which
is now in session, and upon which Mr.
Williams is in attendance. It was a
foregone conclusion that Mr. Williams
would be re-elected and surprise and
regret were caused by the announce
ment that he would not accept re-elec
tion. His retirement will be due to the
great demands upon his time that grow
out of his business affairs.
It is said that Gen. Clement A. Evans
will be elected to fill the position Mr.
Williams will relinquish. Gen. Evans
will be a worthy successor to Mr. Wil
liams. He Is popular throughout the
state, and his election would probably
operate to the advantage of Emory
College. Gen. Evans has been chair
man of the Executive Committee of
the board for many years.
TOO OLD FoTfAMILIARITY. 1
108-Year-Old Negro Knocked n
Young Man Down.
Because a much younger negro
greeted him in a familiar way, Zeak
Kelly, a negro who claims to be 108
years old, used a hickory stick with
telling effect yesterday morning near
the City Market. Prince Mungin was
the sufferer and he was badly done up.
Mungin said that he slapepd the old
man on the back in a familiar way
and said "Hello, Kelly." According to
Mungin the old man answered by soak
ing him over the head with a heavy
stick. The blow cut a deep gash In
Mungin’s head and caused him to fall
through a glass showcase and sustain
several ugly cuts. It required fifteen
stitches to close the wounds on Mun
gin. No arrests were made.

ADLER'S
MILL SALE.
Another Week of Money Saving
Yesterday at Adler’s was one of the
greatest days in the history of the
store. All day long the store was
crowded and at night standing room
was at a premium. Of course the at
traction was the famous mill end sale,
which Mr. Adler conducts so success
fully every year. At night the open
air concert added much to the enjoy
ment of the crowd.
The store was carefully prepaxed for
the big sale and at the opening of the
day, looked beautiful in its dress of
handsome fabrics of every kind.
The mill end idea is to make a hand
some show every day, and in this Mr.
Adler always succeeds. He controls
the mill end sale for this section, and
each year his buyers are more alert
to provide the people of Savannah bet
ter goods for less money. The Im
mense stock never runs down, but is
always up to the high standard for
which the mill end sale is noted. The
mill end sale means a great saving to
the people of this city, and they ap
preciate Mr. Adler’s effort.
For the coming week there is a feast
of bargains. The second week opens
with new stock, and new prices lower
than ever known. All through the big
store these bargains may be found.
From 5c lawns at 1% cents to $25 bed
room suits for $11.98, the savings run,
and it’s easy to see how money may be
saved. The coming week will be a
red letter one at Adler’s, and the store
will be taxed to Its utmost capacity
to handle the immense crowds drawn to
it by the wonderful money saving fea
tures of the mill end sale.
graph Company against Mr. Gugi Bour
quin et al„ road commissioners, was
dismissed in the Superior Court yester
day. The case will not be dropped,
but will go before the grand jury in
one form or another.

Trouble In Pronouncing French.
From the London Chronicle.
The difficulties of pronunciation which
the English language ofTers to foreign
ers have been amusingly illustrated by
several correspondents in the discus
sion on "ough." But French Is almost
equally confusing from a different rea
son. We pronounce the same combi
nation of letters in many different
ways: the French give the same sounds
to words whii’h differ totally In or
thography. Even a native of Blots
can make no distinction of sound be
tween the six words, "Bain. Saint, Seln,
Celnt. Being. Cinq." A sentence with
which Frenchmen often puzzle strang
cr Is, "Je sals que e'est sur ceg sept
sales que Hay cesnalt ses essaln.'' How
ell, In his "Familiar Letters," complains
bitterly of the thorns In the path of
Englishmen who, with a good hook
knowledge of the language, endeavor to
understand spoken French "The
Toung differ* so mm h from the pen
the! they have exposed themselves to
this contumelious proverb, ‘The
Jftemhinan doth neither pronounrs as
ha llie*, nor speak • be think*,’"
HOW WARS BEGIN.
The Clrruinalanor. t'nder Which
Flr*t Shot* Mere Fired In Many
Modern War*.
From the London. M. A. P.
It is always difficult to find out who
fired the flnst shot in a war. Either a
war begins in a scrimmage, in which
several persons are engaged at the
same time, or, if the honor or the
calamity belong to one man several
claimants are always found for the
place.
The Crimean War.
The war between Russia and the al
lies began by the invasion of Moldavia
and Wallachia by a Russian army,
many months before the diplomatic
rupture occurred between Russia,
France and England; and many shots
were fired before the Russians faced
their real antagonists. But the first
shot fired between English and Russia
was In June, 1854, when a Capt. Butler
of the Indian army, who was tempo
rarily attached to the Turkish army,
was reconnoitering on the defenses of
Silistria, whiefi was besieged by the
Russians. His voice was heard out
side the “works” by a Russian sharp
shooter, who fired into an embrasure,
killing Butler.
On July 7, 1854, took place the battle
of Guirgevo, on the banks of the Dan
ube, and although the British army had
not arrived, here for the first time the
Russians faced Englishmen, for the
Turks were commanded by Gen. Can
non—a general officer of the Sepoy
army (serving temporarily as a Pasha).
A Capt. Bent, leading 300 riflemen,
charged the Russians, driving them
from their tents and across the Dan
ube. And so Capt. Bent would prob
ably have as much claim as any one
to have fired the first shot in the Cri
mean war proper—that is, exclusive of
the earlier Moldavian fights.
The Indian Mutiny.
Early in May, 1857, the episode of
"the greased cartridges” led up to some
insubordination among the troopers of
the Third Regiment of Native Cavalry
station at Meerut, and commanded by
Col. Carmichael Smyth, who was a se
vere and unpopular officer. Smyth or
dered a parade for purposes of repri
mand, and for troops to receive the
hated new ammunition. Eighty-five
troopers failed’ to appear. A court
martial was held, and all the eighty
five, with the exception of eleven
youngsters (let off on account of their
youth) were sentenced to ten years’
hard labor imprisonment.
On May 9 the sentence was executed
on the parade ground, the regimental
armorers and smiths shackling leg
irons on the men, while their com
rades had to stand by and see them
degraded.
May 10 was a Sunday, and a blazing
hot day. Rumors were about that mis
chief was brewing, but the Europeans
took no precautions. The chaplain's
children's ayah besought her mistress
to fly. but her warnings were disre
garded. At evening church time trou
ble was reported in the Sepoy lines,
and Col. Finnis, commanding the Elev
enth Regiment, rode down to the Se
poy camp. He was a popular, warm
hearted man, and much liked by Se
poys. Strong in his belief in them, he
rode fearlessly straight in among them.
He was actually remonstrating with
them when a young soldier of the
Twentieth Regiment discharged his
musket at the Colonel, but only wound
ed his horse. Again he fired, the bul
let hitting the Colonel in the back, kill
ing him instantly. In a moment the
dead body was riddled with bullets.
The young trooper of the Twentieth
had commenced the great mutiny!.
Wihin a week from the time of the
report of his musket Delhi w'as in the
hands of the rebels and India w'as on
fire almost from end to end.
The Civil War In America.
I know not the man who fired the
first shot in the Civil War in
America, but who might have
been that man and very nearly
was. Roger Pryor in recent years has
been a dweller in New York, and for a
time occupied a position on the judi
cial bench. In his hot youth, how
ever, he was one of the young bloods
of Virginia whose fervor he'.pel to fan
the flames that burst into the awful
conflagration. By a curious coinci
dence he was one of the party that
demanded the surrender of Fort Sum
ter. With breathless interest I lis
tened to him one night as he told the
story of the eventful day when he an<L
bis friends paid a visit to Fort Sumter
with the demand that the Northern
troops should give the place up. Even
when they are going to fight-even
w’hen they are going ta hang—in what
ever position and tragedy of life they
may find themselves—Americans arc
thoroughly human; I suppose it is part
of their democratic training under a
republic.
And so it was that this interview,
fateful with such awful consequences—
to end in the destruction of a million
lives- -took place with pleasantness on
both sides. The garrison -ecoivecl the
deputation in a nospltan’e spirit; drinks
even were exchanged. But both sii“s
took up their position with that in
flexible and iron determination which is
ai.o’her Americxji quality.
Fort Sumter.
And then the Confederates wnt
away; and soon after the order was
giver, that the fortress was to be .at
tacked, and that the first shot in the
fight was to be fired. Lightly, I dare
say. these wild young fellows thought
of what they were about to do; for if
the men of the South had not been reck
less daredevils they would never have
provoked this struggle—the end of
which was as certain as anything could
have been in history. Somebody sug
gested to Roger Pryor that his hand
should have the honor—as it was sup
posed—of firing the first shot. Though
he was so young and so hot-headed,
some good angel whispered into his
ear that this might turn out to be one
of those acts of heavy and calamitous
responsibility that would haunt a
man's conscience, and perhaps blight
his life forever afterward, and he
waved away the proffered honor. An
other man too eagerly took it up. I
cannot recall at this moment what was
this poor man's name. But it yyill be
easily remembered in America. 'I un
derstand that the awful fact did have
these very results which Roger Pryor
foresaw' in one if those moments of
prophetic foresight that sometimes
come to men. The man who fired the
first shot was bound to become known
to the whole American world, and was
thereby a target of attention, attack,
pity. It weighed upon and overwhelm
ed him: and I believe he felt for a long
time like a marked and doomed man;
an outcast and an accursed one. How
it ended with him I do not recall, but
I believe his death was tragic.

The skin is provided with millions of little pores
and glands invisible to the natural eye, yet through
these tiny outlets the larger part of the deadly matter SIJ
that daily collects in the body is carried off. But nature
never intended that poisons of an irritating or acid
character should be eliminated through the skin, the Liver and Kidneys being their natural
outlets, and it is when these important organs fail to perform their functions that these acid
poisons are absorbed into the blood and find their way to the surface of the body through the
pores and glands of the skin, producing intense itching and burning, inflammation and
swelling, and eruptions of every conceivable size, shape and character.
Skin Diseases differ greatly in their general characteristics and degrees of intensity.
Red and angry looking spots break out upon some part of the body with a mass of small
pustules or blisters, from which is discharged a clear or straw colored fluid, which dries and
flakes off in bran-like particles and scales, or forms into hard and painful sores and scabs.
The skin often hardens and dries, cracks and bleeds from, the effects of the fiery acids,
which the blood is continually
throwing off. Pimples, black- Ottumwa, lowa, April 10, 1901.

except through the purification of the depreciated*blood and neutralizing and filtering out of
the circulation all poisonous substances and acids.
The purifying and tonic properties of S. S. S. soon manifest their influence in skin
affections; the debilitated system is invigorated and toned up, and the gradual disappearance
of the eruptions show that the polluted blood is being brought back to its natural purity and
strength. Old chronic skin disorders, which have resisted all the ordinary methods of

Bian war was fired by a French soldier
who was on guard at Strasburg
Bridge, and blazed away across the
bridge at a party of Germans. The
incident occurred early in August, 1870,
a day or two before the Emperor Na
poleon 111, formerly took the field.
Tilrt'O-KuNsilln War.
The bombardment of Poti, in Trans-
Caucasia, on April 22, 1877, was the
occasion of the first shots fired in this
war. At the same time Hobart Pasha,
in his yacht the Rethymo, ran the gant
let from Rustchuk on the Danube, past
the Russian guns at Galatz, under the
cover of night. The Russian gunners
detected the yacht, but the Pasha kept
well in under the shore so that the
gunners were unable to depress the gun
muzzles sufficiently to take accurate
aim, and, after the Rethymo had passed
the Pasha sent a shell into the Russian
camp.
At the same time there were ./‘affairs
of outposts” in one or two spots where
the Russians and Turks faced each
other on the Roumanian frontier.
Thus was war beginning in several
localities at the same time, and noth
ing is recorded which would help to
identify the first shot.
Austro-Prussinn 'War.
Most biographies of Bismarck made
the attempt on his life, one May ”,
1866, the starting of this war. Bis
marck knew if he forced on the strug
gle his whole career depended on the
issue, and it was while he was still
undecided, and was walking down the
Unter den Linden, that Karl Blind’s
son fired a revolver at him. Bismarck
used the attempt and the wave of
public enthusiasm for hint at Berlin
to break down such Governmental op
position as was being offered to his
policy, and, from a dramatic point of
view, that, revolver shot in the Un
tqr den Linden might be called the
‘ first shot ' in the seven days’ cam
paign which ended in Sadowa.
Spanish-American War. *
Capt. Sigbee, United States Navy,
of the Maine, in his history of the
blowing up of that vessel, on Feb. 15.
1898, at 9:40 p. m., says "Although
the war which followed was not
founded On the destruction of the
Maine as a political cause, that disaster
was tile pivotal event of the conflict
which led to it, and ended Spanish
possessions in the New World.” The
explosion of the torpedo, or whatever
the destructive agent was, could
scarcely be called a “first shot,” but
probably most Americans cpnsider
the incident the first blow struck
in the war.
Greco-Turkish War.
Steevens in “With the Conquering
Turk” describes the “first shot” at
the battle of Meluna of the big Tur
kish gun when “Mehemet Ali Effendi,
the tall, black-browed officer in com
mand of the battery,” sights and fires
the first shell on to the Greek block
house two and half miles away, while
“Edhem Pasha sat squatting cross
legged on the ground watching the
practice.” But two days before this
there had been almost continual skir
mishing in the woods of Karya, even
before the official notification of de
claration of war had reached the
Turkish Generalissimo.

SALARIES OF STATE JIDGES.

Letter to Washington Post.
While many who drew a government
salaries and who were excessively un
happy until they "got on the pay roll,”
are now crying out for more, let us
turn to the statistics of the salaries
of state judges, who, as a rule, are
superior to the men who, “not making
headway at the bar, seek United States
Judgeships," as Thad Stevens said
And they are as hard-working, if not
more so. than the federal Judges. The
chief justices' salaries are as follows:

The list of great jurists who first
presided in state courts and became
federal judges afterward would be very
long, and from Joseph Story down
would be equally Illustrious. A more
Industrious, conscientious and compe

state courts cannot be found In this
nation. In themselves they Illustrate
the superiority of the elective system.
