SENATOR BACON
AT FORT SCREVEN
Will Be Escorted by Committee from Chamber
of Commerce.
SENATOR A. 0. BACON.
The committee from the Chamber of
Commerce to escort Senator A. O. Ba
con and Congressman Rufus E. Lester
to Tybee Friday for an inspection of
Fort Screven, will be appointed by Col.
J. H. Estill, president of the Chamber
of Commerce to-morrow. As has been
stated before Senator Bacon will visit
the fort to get an idea of the additions
and improvements needed at that place,
that he may the more forcibly present
a request for them to the government.
The improvements as outlined by
Lieut. Col. A. C. Taylor, commanding
Fort Screven, should consist of the
leveling and filling in of the low ground
between the fort and the Tybee tracks,
the erection of additional quarters for
the men, and the building of anew
wharf an<j a board walk to connect it
with the fort.
These things are really needed, but It
is felt that at the same time much
could be done to beautify the fort

Bronglit to Savannah Direct
From Xewr American Possession. u
Gradually Porto Rico, the new Amer

being brought more into close touch
with Savannah, and many articles are
being brought here direct from that is
land.
Mr. T. Lloyd Owens has recently com

that are grown there, and the rrfany
people here who are already drinking
this Porto Rican coffee pronounced it
delicious, with an aromatic, rich flavor
not found in any other coffee.
When in Porto Rico two years ago
Mr. Owens was so impressed with the
coffee which he drank there that he
made a thorough inquiry into it, se

would make them most attractive, it is
more than likely that an appropriation
for this work will also be asked.
A movement is also on foot, started
by Col. Estill, to have the number of
companies at the fort increased from
three, the present size of the garrison,
to six, ten or more, and to have the
necessary quarters for this number of
men and the officers provided for. It
was intended to have not only Senator
Bacon and Congressman Lester visit
the fort, but to have Senator A. S.
Clay and a number of other gentlemen
and officials make the same trip. It Is
possible that this may be done later,
and that among the visitors may be a

It Is from this plantation that a great
deal of the coffee which he will bring
here will come. During the two years
since his return from Porto Rico Mr.
Owens has been getting in this Porto
Rican coffee for private use, and ihe
continually growing popularity with
which it has met among his friends has
induced him to bring it in regularly
and in quantities, and he has opened
a wareroom at No. 41 Drayton street
where this coffee will be kept in stock
and where it may be gotten by those
wishing to use it.

UNCLE MINGO TELLS
A FISH STORY
U J
By W. T. WILLIAMS.
Uncle Mingo had fish for dinner, and
he asked the waiter:
"Does you know w'y dis fish here
wot I got rentin'* me ob de cotton
market?”
"No,” said the waiter; "I reely can't
imagine. W’y do it?”
“ ’Cause,” said Uncle Mingo, “de
supply ain’t ekill to de deman'.”
“I'se sorry, Uncle,” explained the
waiter, "but dat’s de bes’ dat kin be
did. Fish is werry sca’ce, an' likewise
werry high.”
“Tell you wot do boss ought to do,”
said Uncle Mingo, “he ought to hire
a feller to fish for him wot I know.”
He is one o’ dem newspaper fellers,
an' ’cordin’ to his own confession, he
mus' be a peach. He was talkln to
me 'bout de fishin' out to 'Possum Hol
ler, an’ say he would show me how
to catch fish if I would carry him out
sometime when he could git off an
come out dere.
“He tell me de mos' alarmin’ yarns
’bout de ’mazin' catches he make.
One time dere was a whole boat load
o’ dem out, an’ nobody didn’t catch
a fish ’cep’ him, an’ he catch a whole
boat full o’ bass, an’ not one less dan
dat long. Annuder time he hook a
big sheephead, an’ after playin him
two or tree hours de sheephead git
mad for true, an’ swaller de hook,
line an’ half de rod, an’ den git 'way.
My, he say, ‘he wished he could a
git dat feller, ’cause he mus’ a been
big as a bale o' hay. _ .
“Anudder time he didn’t had but
one little swimp for bait, but he use
it careful, an’ catch a whole lot. an
after de swimp wear out de fish keep
on bitin’ at de smell on de hook, an
he catch dem ontill dey upset de boat
an’ ebble one git away, an* he mos git
drownded.” , .
“Did you beliebe dat?” asked the
waiter.
"Cose I did. mos’.” said Uncle Mingo,
“cause he is a werry troot'ful genle
man. But as a general ting, wenebber
I hears ’bout de wonderful catchin by
dese town fellers, I can’t help tinkln
ob a composition wot a boy once write
on de subjec'.”
"How did it go?” asked the waiter.
“It was 'bout like dis,” said Uncle
Mingo. -i* .
“‘I once seen a man from town he
was a wisitin’ een our place I b'liebe
at his brudder-in-law’s wot married
his sister a fishin' he come to fish for
fish but you’d a tink he come to show
his close he nebber catch a dam fish
dough he come a fishin’ he fished all
day without catchin’ a dam fish he
was fraid of dirtin' his close an’ didn't
catch a dam fish dough he come a
purpose to fish an’ he had a green line
an’ a red cork an’ a jinted pole an’ he
didn’t catch a dam fish aldough he
come for fish an' all de mens an boys
laughed at him a fishin' off de bridge
all day an’ he didn’t catch a dam fish
all day, but Jis sot dere a fishin’ an'

I beliebe I done said he fished all day

CAMEST FISH. .
A*e the Marine Fighters Found Off
the Coast of Florida.
From the New York Sun.
Few places along: the coast offer more
sport to the angler the year round than
the Bay of Pensacola, Fla., and its ad
jacent waters. Here are found, in their
season, warsaws, tarpon, amberjack,
ling, grouper, snapper, cavally. king
fish and other large species. The
smaller fish, such as sheepsheads.
flounders, sea trout and the like, are
even more numerous.
A strike from a cavally means a
steady pull from start to finish, with
no exciting Incidents save that of fre
quently breaking some part of the
tackle- a struggle with a large redflsh
reminds one of his youthful attempts at
holding an unruly calf. But when the
click sings the diatonic scale, and the
line spins out 50 to 100 yards before it
can be brought under control the an

morning.
The session, which was the twen
tieth which has been held, was one
of the most pleasantest and harmoni
ous In the history of the association,
and communications received from the
HON. PETER W. MELDRIM,
The New President of the Georgia Bar Association.
Savannah contingent are to the effect
that it members had a royal time.
The report that Judge Alton B. Par
ker, chief Judge of the Court of Ap
peals of New York, would pass
through Savannah en route to New
York, was, it seems, a mistake. Judge
Parker l#ft Tallulah Falls yesterday
for New York, going direct by rail.
The local members of the bar will be
sorry to learn that they will have to
forego the pleasure of entertaining the
distinguished visitor.
It Is expected that all five of the
Savannah barristers who attended the
session will reach here this morning,
with the possible exception of Col. Pe
ter W. Meldrim, who, it is stated, may
go to Cincinnati before returning. The
mad rush, there ts usually little diffi
culty in working him to within gaffing
distance. It is here that even the ex
perienced angler often fails, for the
kingfish knows several tricks of the
trade. There is certain to be at least
one more frantic struggle, which more
frequently than not frees him from the
line, leaving his would-be captor won
dering "how it was done.” The writer
has brought a forty-pound kingfish to
the wharf three times, and each time
the fish has carried the line out 100
yards before he could be safely stop
ped. During this struggle one snap
of bis jaws, or one stroke of his pow
erful tail on the line, would have given
him his liberty. A sportsman who suc
ceeds In landing three or four of these
liah from a dozen strikes need not feel
ashamed of his record.
Of course, the tarpon is the king of
all game fish In Southern waters; yet,
owing to the fact that, for some un
known reason, they rarely strike in
Pensacola Harbor, they scarcely enter

The friends of Col. Meldrim are
anxious to see him to extend congratu
lations upon his election to the presi
dency of the association. The honor,
besides being a deserved distinction
to Col. Meldrim himself, is a pretty
compliment to Savannah. That the
presidency should have fallen to a
city which, owing to its distance from
the rendezvous, was represented by
far smaller numbers than other cities
in the state, is considered an honor
alike to the city and to the president
elect.
Col. Meldrim has been a member of
the Georgia Bar Association almost
from Its inception over twenty years
ago. He has attended many of its
annual meetings, and has always been
one of the principal factors in its
progress and advancement. Largely
through his aid and influence the as
sociation is one of the strongest or
ganizations of its kind in the country.
Col. Meldrim was recently vice presi
dent of the association, and has served
on numerous Important committees.
He is the second Savannahlan to be
honored with the presidency, Col.
George A. Mercer having been elected
to the post about twelve years ago, on
’the occasion of the eighth annual meet
ing of the aasociation at Tybee.
Col. Meldrim graduated from the
University of Georgia in 1868, and was
soon thereafter admitted to the bar.
His success has been marked. He has
not only been a prominent fnember ot
the Georgia bar. but has served his
city, state and county In various ca
pacities, having been at once Mayor of
Savannah and representative in the
General Assembly. He was twice
state senator, having succeeded him
self In 1882, after a two-year term.
His election to the presidency of the
Georgia Bar Association is considered
by the local members of the bar as a
deserved mark of appreciation of his
ability and service.
The Savannah aggregation told the
members of the association that they
would be peculiarly happy to enter
tain them on Tybees strands next
season. The matter Is left entirely
with an executive committee, whose
decision will not be announced for
some time yet.
strike while fishing from the wharf.
He will not soon forget it.
At first the strike seemed so slight
as to give the impression that it was
a small redflsh. No sooner did the
tarpon feel himself hung, however,
than he leaped directly out of the wat
er, throwing the entire weight of his
huge body against the line. Fortunate
ly the line held. Again he went Into
the air with lightning rapidity, but in
vain. Then he seemed to think of

Key West.
There was no stoppng his terrific
speed with a No. 27 line. The question
was how best to save as mnch as pos

feasible plan, and the one acted upon,
was to straddle the rod. clench the

that of the line. There was a snap

it is an expensive business to fish for

With gains such as those being
about an average of a $500,000 a
year, the chances are favorable for

The gains are largely due to the fact
that Savannah is being steadily recog

city’s business is gaining ail the while.
Money to raise crops, handle large

Linden explained the presence of
the hole by saying that a short time
ago he was engineer on a merchant
vessel plying between Ban Francisco
and Australia. On one of the trips,
when near the Fiji Islands, a hurri
cane drove the vessel ashore, and the
crew fell into the hands of cannibals.
The captain, mate and two seamen
were roasted alive and eaten before
Linden’s eyes. He was thin, and the
cannibals bored a hole through his
nose, put a ring In it and chained him
to a tree to fatten. A native woman
helped Linden escape, and he man
aged to get away from the island by
hailing a passing vessel.
Linden is about 35 years old.
