Utterly devoid of the fear of death,
but sedulously engaged In preparation
for his departure from things earthly.
Abe Cohen, the condemned murderer of
Ssusie Rogers, patiently bides the time
■when the new hemp noose of the hang
man shall be tightly drawn about his
throat and the gruesome black cap
shall forever shut from hts vision the
light of day.
On Friday morning, just a year and
one week from the time that he com
mitted one of the darkest crimes which
has ever besmirched the crimlnalogical
records of Chatham county, Cohen will
be hung by the neck until dead in
Chatham county Jail.
Cohen's apparent indifference to his
fate—his philosophical acceptance of
the serious situation—his stolid stoic
ism in the face of impending and hor
rible death—these things have awak
ened the wonder of all who have seen
him or talked to him. Indeed, he is
considered the most remarkable man
who ever counted his numbered days In
a Chatham county cell.

verses with him fervently and partici

though often thoughtful. His appetite
Is excellent, and throughout the night
lie sleeps like a child.
••Will lie Over Friday.”
Cohen was asked by a representative
of the Morning News to write of his
feelings in the face of death. But his
answer plainly indicated that there
would be little of interest in such an
article, outside of the absolute absence
of the utterances which the condemned
are given to making in their last hour.

"Do you think you will be afraid of
death when you have to mount the
Bcaffold, Abe?” he was asked.
"Ain’t no way of telling that. Ain’t
no use to be skeered. The state say I
must die, there ain’t no holding back
or use of worrying. Best way is to

them execute the laws.”
BEDFORD 'IN JAIL
Young Insurance Collector Calmly
Talks of His Misdeeds.
Nat Bedford, who was arrested in
Columbia a few days ago, for steal
ing money from Mr. George S. Haines,
of this city, while working here as a
collector for Mr. Haines, was brought
back to Savannah yesterday morning
by Deputy Sheriff Hartigan and is now
in jail. He makes no pretense of being
eorry for his deeds or caring for the
consequences. ‘
To officers and those who saw him in
jail yesterday he admitted unblushing
ly that he had taken the money and
told how it was done. He, however, de
nied the reports that have been cur
rent regarding his fast life. This is re
garded as rather unnecessary talk by
those who have known the youth, for
he was regarded as being given to a
etyle of living that was not in keeping
with his circumstances.
It is understood that Bedford will be
brought up for preliminary examina
tion this week and unless he can se
cure bond will have to remain in Jail
awaiting trial. From his conversation
yesterday it would appear that he in
tended to plead guilty and thus secure
the minimum sentence, but even this
Will likely be a term of years.

AYANNAH MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY. JULY 5. 1903.
SAVANNAH’S FOURTH
ENJOYED BY THOUSANDS OP PEO
PLE.
AT THE VARIOUS RESORTS.
YACHT RACES AT THE ISLE OF
HOPE.
The Pavilions ut Tybee Were Crowd
ed All Day—Thunderbolt Had It.
Share of Pleannre Seeker, and
There Were Fishing Parties and
Private Entertainment, by the
Seore No Serion. Accident.
Marred the Plea.are. of the Day.
While the falling of July Fourth
upon Saturday absolutely prohibited a
general holiday there were a good
many thousands of people in and about
Savannah yesterday who enjoyed,
either the whole or a part of the day
in some way out of the ordinary. It
was a warm day, from the average
man's standpoint—even though the
Weather Bureau records only showed
a maximum of 89 degrees, but at the
resorts there were good breezes, fine
crowds and all kinds of amusements
and merrymaking.
There is not a great amount of pow
der burning In the South on the na
tion’s birthday, and speech making Is
almost -entirely omitted. But this is
largely due to the climate and is not
any lack of patriotism. The people do
not fail to celebrate, but they prefer
to spend the day in something differ
ent, rather than to go largely into the
firing of guns, crackers, fireworks and
hot air.
Did It. Dnty Saluting.
Savannah did its duty with the sa
lutes at early morn, and the small boys
had a considerable fun with small
crackers later, but the great majority
of the grown folks, and those growing
itp, took to the tall Umbers and en
joyed the day, or as much of it as they
could spare, tusseling with the surf at
Tybee, watching the water sports at
the Isle of Hope or seeing the shows
at Thunderbolt. There were also a
number of fishing parties and driving,
riding and automobiling parties. It
was a day very generally observed by
the people doing something out of the
ordinary and having a good time with
out dressing up or acting convention
ally.
In the city the retail stores were
obliged to remain open for the people
will want their dinners to-day just as
much as they do any day, but the big
wholesale places, the city, county and
federal offices, banks, and many other
places were closed. The transporta
tion companies were called upon to
furnish speed and a breeze for many
thousands of people, traveling in all di
rections, and the demand was well met.
From all accounts it does not appear
that there were any serious delays
anywhere, or accidents of any kind.
There were some excursions, in and
out, and the visitors coming in more
than made up for those who went out.
Each one of the resorts had crowds of
patrons and good nature, and good
feeling prevailed.
A latrk of Watermelon*.
If there was one thing that marred
a little the real enjoyment of the
Fourth it might have been the short
age of watermelons. For some reason,
not thoroughly understood, the juicy,
tempting fruit for which Georgia is so
justly famous, was not plenty in the
market yesterday, and some tables
were of necessity set without this fa
vorite dessert.
The celebration of the Fourth did
not conclude with twilight, nor even
11 o’clock. Everybody seemed to be
just waking up to the fact that it was
a holiday when night came on, and
long after the hour when Savannah Is
usually wrapped in slumber, there were
parties of ten and twenty and fifty and
a hundred, coming in from tone or an
other of the resorts and making the
night ring with laughter and song. It
was altogether a very merry, lively
day, and the people seemed to have
enjoyed every minutes of the sunshine
and moonshine that went to make up
the time. Seldom has the city been in
such a uniformly pleasant mood and
rarely has there been such a general
jollification without some serious mis
hap or accident to mar its pleasure.
THOUSANDS AT TYBEE.
Enjoyed tlie Surf, Dancing and
Pyrotechnic Display*.
The day at Tybee was in every re
spect most satisfactory. True, the at
tendance at the island was somewhat
smaller than that of the same day a
year ago, but this is readily account
ed for by the fact that there was no
general closing of the business
houses, because the day fell on Sat
urday.
Yet in spite of this the attendance
was only some 600 short of last July
4, which is an excellent showing in
deed. The railroad people are satis
fied with it, as they expect to make
up by increased travel to-day this
shortage and have a surplus besides.
Last year the number of people vis
iting the island was 3.766, while yes
terday the number was 3.180. The
travel to the island in the morning
was unusually heavy, much heavier
than that of the year before, this be
ing due probably to the influx of
strangers from the surrounding coun
try, large numbers of which were
brought in by each of the railroads,
chiefly the Central of Georgia, the At
lantic Coast Line and the Seaboard
Air Line, all of which had offered spe
cial rates in the way of an induce
ment to visit Tybee.
In the afternoon, too, the travel was
heavy, though it was here that the
shortage in comparison with last year
was shown. Still each of the twelve
trains that vere operated to the island
w r ere well filled, packed, in some cases,
even where they were run in two sec
tions. The people were out for a whole
day of it. too. for at 10 o’clock last
night the official figures of the railroad
showed that there were more than 1,600
people still on the island.
The railroad offered all possible facil
ities for both reaching and leaving the
island, operating twelve trains each
way. The crowds >ere well handled,
too. for, because of the ample equip
ment of the road, every train left and
reached its schedule point on time. The
street railway company also offered ex
tra facilities for reaching and leaving
the depot much to the satisfaction of
its natrons.
The crowd was an exceptionally or
derly one for one so large, and spent
the day and evening in bathing, for
which the tide suited admirably: in
dancing, for which e*cellent music
was furnished at both Hotel Tybee and
Bohan's pavilion; strolling about tne
beach, or merely lounging in the pa
vilions and enjoying the delightful
salt breeze, the more refreshing and
appreciated, because of the beat of
the city.
At night there was a display of fire
works on the beach, a fitting celebra
tion for a day devoted. In the greater
part of the country, almost exclusively
.to this form of celebration. Even after
this pyrotechnic exhibition a large
part of the crowd remained on the is
land for the last train which left for
the city at 12 o’clock.
THE GLORIOUS FOURTH
PROPERLY SALUTED.
Before the average man was half
ready to rise from his couch yesterday
morning he was given a jqlt that caused
him to remember suddenly that this
glorious country was exactly one hun
dred and twenty-seven years old. The
booming of guns woke the echoes and
then kept them awake for a time —for
this is a big country, as well as a fine
one, and it took considerable powder to
tell off one bang for each of the splen
did states represented by stars in the
blue field of "Old Glory.”
The Chatham Artillery, under com
mand of Capt. George P. Walker, (who
had come up from Tybee for the pur
pose), appeared at the Park Extension
at 7 o'clock, and with the precision and
excellence of veterans, fired the nation
al salute of forty-five guns. This was
the opening of the Fourth of July cele
bration and young America, with crack
ers and bombs and other instruments
of noise-making, kept up a desultory
firing all day, and far into the night.
At Fort Screven the regular salute
appointed for the day and occasion was
fired with all due ceremony.
SPORTS, MUSIC
AND VAUDEVILLE.
Given at Casino and Enjoyed by
Many- Thousand*.
The large crowd that always attends
Thunderbolt on a holiday was there
yesterday, a thousand or so people in
the early afternoon drawn by the op
portunity for a swim in the pool, a
shoot down the chute or to watch the
aquatic sports, a tub race, a swimming
race and a race for bateaux, though
there were the usual attractions be
sides, a matinee of vaudeville and
band concerts.
The races proved most exciting for
in at least two of them it was any
body’s victory till the finishing line had
been crossed, and in the third, that
between bateaux, though the winner
of the first prize beat the other con
testants without any trouble there was
an exciting finish for second and third
prizes.
The prizes in each event were: First
prize, $6; second, $3. and third sl. In
the swimming race the winners were,
in the order named, Joseph Webster,
Frank Laßoche and Antony Malone.
Those of the tub race were Aaron Ros
signol, John Hill and Frank Laßoche,
while in the bateaux race, in which the
contestants were negroes, the winners
were Isaac Brown, William Mungin
and Samuel Holmes.
The races were arranged and ably
handled by Natator, the man fish, the
instructor connected with the swim
ming pool. The races over the greater
part of the afternoon visitors returned
to the city, but for every one that
left two arrived later in the evening for
which time the chief numbers of the
day's programme had been arranged.
The evening entertainment consisted
of the vaudeville show and band con
cert, polyscope pictures, a number of
new pictures, just out from New Yot*
being shown; and. as the closing fea
ture of the a brilliant illumi
nation of the grounds with colored fire
specially prepared and set off under
the direction of Manager L. W. Nelson.
WITH 46 GUNS
FOURTH WAS ANNOUNCED.
_______
At the foundry of John Rourke yes
terday morning Mr. Rourke, pursuant
to his usual custom, announced the
arrival of the Glorious Fourth with a
salute of forty-six guns, brought out
on the bluff his pet eagle, the national
bird, hung an enormous United States
flag across the street and then gave
his employes permission to spend the
day as they might see fit.
On former occasions Mr. Rourke has
made the reading of the Declaration
of Independence a part of the day’s
programme, but because of the ex
cessive heat yesterday this was omit
ted. The custom has been observed
so long, however, that no man who
works at the foundin' has been there
for any length of time can plead ig
norance of the constitution of his
country.
BETHESDA BOYS
ENJOYED THE FOURTH.
The orphan boys at Bethesda cer
tainly enjoyed the Fourth of July, for
they had baseball games and all kinds
of fun all day long. The weather was
fine out at Bethesda and the holiday
was made memorable in several ways.
A fine dinner was enjoyed and the
sports and games in the afternoon
were particularly appropriate to the
nation’s birthday.
The splendid gift that was procured
for the Bethesda boys through the
efforts of Mr. R. M. Larner of Wash
ington was much appreciated. The
baseball suits, bats, balls, gloves, mask
and all the other stuff that goes to
make up the paraphernalia of the dia
mond were used for the first time and
made the games seem a great deal
more "professional.”
As was noted yesterday the sub
scriptions to the baseball outfit fund
ran somewhat over the amount need
ed, and this balance was turned over
to the superintendent at Bethesda and
will be used for an ice cream treat
for the boys to-day.
BARBEE’S PAVILION
HELD GREAT CROWD.
Danelng, Shooting the Chnte* and
Other Amnsements.
Barbee’s pavilion at the Isle of Hope
was filled with a gay throng all day
long, and the many amusement fea
tures offered were fully enjoyed and
appreciated by the throng. The pa
vilion is so located as to catch the
best of the breezes as they come in
from the Atlantic, along with the ris
ing tide, and there is never any com
plaint about the weather.
Yesterday, besides the fine yacht
racing that was on all the afternoon,
directly in front of the pavilion, ex
cellent music had been furnished and
dancing was enjoyed throughout the
day and far into the night.
“Shoot the Chutes’ ’was a high fa
vorite with thousands and this harm
less and amusing enterprise was kept
busy right through the long bright
hours and even after dark.
Mr. Barbee estimated that there
were altogether about 2,800 people vis
iting his place during yesterday, and
everybody seemed to have a good time.

IN CARBINE CDNTEST
GEORGIA HUSSARS HELD ANNUAL
CONTEST AT AVONDALE.
GORDON WON TROOP MEDAL
CUNNINGHAM MEDAL AND SECOND
PRIZE WENT TO FLEMING.
He Made Highest Score at Long
llange. and \tna High Man In the
Second Class—Corpl. J. B. Martin
Was Second Gun In First Class.
Private Yaukey Was Second In
Second Class—Sweltering Sun Mude
It Very Uncomfortable For Marks
men—Some Good Scores Were
Mude.
Under a sweltering sun the members
of the Georgia Hussars held their an
nual prize carbine shoot at Avondale
range yesterday. While the weather
was clear—most too much so—the pen
etrating and blistering rays of Old Sol
made the marksmen squirm and fret,
rendering the gun barrels so warm that
it became necessary to cool them after
every shot in order to obtain good re
sults.
Despite these unfavorable conditions,
there were three or four good scores
made. Capt. William W. Gordon, Jr.,
won the troop medal, with a score of
87 at the 200, 300. 500 and 600-yard
ranges. Corpl. J. B. Martin came sec
ond with a score of 75. Both men were
members of the first class. Privates
Way, G. C. Martin. Colquitt and Co
burn "also shot” in this class.
Private F. S. Fleming, practically a
new man with the carbine, distinguish
ed himself by carrying oft the Cunning
ham medal, as well as the first prize in
the second class. His score in the con
test for the Cunningham medal was
55, out of a possible 75, at the 500 and
(,00-yard ranges. He made 22 out of
a possible 25, at 600 yards.
Private Lewis G. Yankey, also anew
man, won second in the second class,
his score being a shade less than the
winner of the second prize in the first
class. Yankey made a total of 74
points.
Owing to the extreme heat there were
not more than eighteen members of
the command present at the shoot. All
participated, and the day was much
enjoyed despite the oppressive heat.
Capt. A. McC. Duncan was one of the
veteran members present. While he
did not participate in the shoot proper,
he shot in several impromptu matches
at 200 yards, and showed by his scores
that even at his advanced age he has a
discerning eye. He made several
scores of 20 and 21 at the 200-yard
range, out of a possible score of 25
points.
The prizes consisted of the troop med
al as first prize in the first class, and a
silver-handled pocket knife to the sec
ond man; a silver pocket corkscrew to
the winner in the second class,, and a
silver match box to the second man.
The Cunningham medal was separately
competed for.
Refreshments were served, and sub
stantial edibles and cooling draughts
went far toward making the shoot the
enjoyable affair that it was.
FOR THE TRAVELER.
Safe and Convient Way of Carrying
Money.
Just about now those contemplating
a summer trip are burdened with more
or less wealth, and it is a question of
some moment how to carry the nec
essary atriount conveniently and with
perfect safety. The Southern Express
Company has solved the problem per
fectly and in its money orders offers
the traveling public the only safe and
convenient way of having money just
when it is wanted. These Southern
Express money orders are payable at
15,000 places in the United States and
are practically good everywhere. They
can be used to pay hotel bills, store ac
counts, livery and bar bills, and are as
negotiable as United States currency.
Everybody will take them and be glad
to have them, and yet with all the
ease of circulation they remain abso
lutely safe. They are sold in any de
nomination from $1 to SIOO each and
the cost is exceedingly small—namely
for S2O, 10 cents; SSO, 18 cents, and SIOO,
30 cents. In Savannah money orders
can be bought at the company’s offices,
Union Station and 23 Bull street, and
from Livingston’s Pharmacy Cos., 20
Broughton street, west; Solomons Co.’s
pharmacy. Bull and Charlton streets;
Walter Ashton, druggist. Liberty and
Price; Savannah Bank and Trust Com
pany. Bay and Drayton streets.
The man or woman going off on a
pleasure or business trip will save
much anxiety if, instead of a good fat
roll of bills, a number of Southern Ex
press money orders are carried along
The money will be on hand when
wanted and no sleep need be lost for
fear someone will get it without re
turning an equivalent of value.
THE FOURTH’S C’HOWyDS.
Mention of Tlioe Who Had a Big
Representation a* Visitor*.
With the activity that characterized
the Fourth the market was not neg
lected, there being the same crowds
there, that usually call on Saturday.
The resorts had their crowds, some
claiming their visitors were more than
at others. Everybody claimed a crowd
yesterday that had an attraction to en
tertain them. Logan had his crowd
and he entertained them. Not only
this but he gave them supplies to con
tinue the entertainment admirably to

The Season at Saratoga.
Everybody goes to Saratoga, or at
least they ought to. It Is the Spa of
America and one of the sights of this
country. Its delightful climate, un
rivalled mineral springs and grand ho
tels make it the famous place that it
is. Nowadays when Saratoga is men
tioned one naturally associates the
Grand Union with it, and it justly de
serves the unique position which it
has attained. The completeness of its
service and the features which contrib
ute to its ever increasing fame are the
result of expert hotel keeping know
ledge. Every provision is made for the
comfort and entertainment of the vis
itor. Among the attractions at that
hotel this season will be a series of
afternoon and evening concerts by Vic
tor Herbert and his renowned orches
tra of masterly musicians, of which full
particulars can be had by addressing

D Not Procrastinate.
Procrastination, it has been said is
the thief of time—it is also the robber
of widows and orphans. If you need
life insurance, and where is the man
who does not need it, don't put off
taking it. Now is the time. Nothing is
ever done until it is done. Delays are
dangerous. A good example as to the
necessity for promptness in taking out
life insurance in nicely illustrated in
the case that has just transpired in
the Chicago offices of the Massa
chusetts Mutual. A stationary engin
eer took out a policy for SI,OOO. There
was some delay in receiving it, three
weeks elapsing before the policy could
be delivered. The health certificate
was signed and the policy delivered on
Saturday. On Monday, the engineer
was caught in a belt and killed and
thus had the advantage of his SI,OOO
insurance policy. Be sure, however,
that you get the right kind of a policy.
Make it a point to examine the policy
contracts and plans of the Massa
chusetts Mutual. There is much more
in the business than the average man
thinks of. and it is only the part of
wisdom and prudence to look well be
fore you leap. Harty & Apple, Man
