CITY SHOULD GET
PROPER PLANT
SAYS ALDERMAN GLATIGNY.
MOIULLY IT IS SO RIGHT TO DE
STROY PROPERTY AX'D SOT PAY.
Chnlrinan of Joint Committee on
Health and Flnanee Say*. X'otwith
atitnrlina Supreme Conrt, It la Sot
Morally Right to Deatroy Property
and Slot Pay for It—lnatata City
Should Have Diaintectlntr Plant.
Savannah Remarkably Healthy or
It Conld Xot Afford to Pay for De
stroyed Property.
“Morally it is not right, the Supreme
Court, or any other court notwith
standing.” said Alderman John F.
Glatigny, yesterday, in speaking of the
city's destroying property, to prevent
the spread of disease, and not paying
for it.
•I know the city has a legal right to
do thi6,” explained Alderman Glatigny.
“The Supreme Court has decided that
the city is not responsible for articles
destroyed by order of the health de
partment, but it is not right to destroy
these articles for the good of the whole
community, and then make just one
person in the community suffer.
“The city has no more moral right
to destroy property and not pay for
it, than has the individual. Of course,
if we were in the midst of an epi
demic it would probably be all right
to take advantage of that decision and
let the individual suffer for the bene
fit of the entire city.
Ininiinnh Womlcrftilly Healthy.
“But we have had no epidemic. Sa
vannah has been wonderfully healthy,
and has probably suffered less than
any other city of its size in the coun
try.
“What are we to do? The persons
whose property is destroyed can ill
afford to stand the loss. The benefit Is
not to that one person alone, it is to
the entire community. Should the one
person be made to pay for protecting
the entire city? I do not think so, and
any one who gives the matter a few
minutes sincere consideration will
agree with me, I am sure.
“Take for example, the case that was
brought so prominently before Council
at the last meeting. Tflere was a wid
ow, struggling along to make a living,
without applying to anyone for help.
Persons came to board with her. They
came from outside of the city, and she
had no way of knowing that they were
diseased. The health authorities were
called in, and they of course destroyed
all articles that had been used by these
lodgers. Bid the destruction of these
articles benefit that widow, who was
struggling along to make a livelihood,
any more than it did every other man,
Woman and child in the city?
Wants Disinfecting Plant.
“Certainly not. To properly protect
the city, we must disinfect a large
amount of personal property. When
do this the entire city is benefited,
&ld. I ¥ )t ,he - Individual. The whole
cUT should bear th{ inks, therefore,
if thwe Is to -be any loss.
“But there need be no great loss. We
should have a disinfecting plant, and
then there would not be this destruc
tion of individual property. I Intend
to brihg the matter before Council
again. I don’t know whether I will have
the figures all ready to present at the
next nteetlng. but 1 am going to bring
It up In the near future.
"We must, of course, proteot the city,
but there is no reason why we should
do it at the expense of the few for
the benefit of the many. All are pro
tected and all should pay. But with
an up-to-date disinfecting plant, the
loss to personal property would be
very small. That Is what the city
needs. That will solve the problem,
and that is the only solution there is
to it."
FLORIDA TEAM WILL PLAY
ON SAVANNAH LINKS.
l.n ... i
JackßonTllte Plajrri Wilt do
Against rapt. Hall's Team.
Savannah and Jacksonville teams are
to try conclusions to-day on the Sa
vannah golf links. It is expected that
nine men will play on each team, and
some excellent work is anticipated.
The match will begin at about noon,
.and it is probable hat many visitors
will ba on the links to watch the play.
Such was the case when the ITarlen
team played last Saturday. The in
terest in the game is keen among the
members of the Savannah Club, and
many of them are glad to take ad
vantage of an opportunity to see such
work as the members of the opposing
teams will probably show.
Thus far this season the Savannah
team, under the captaincy of Mr. tt.
M. Hull, Is undefeated. Victories have
been scored against Charleston and
.against Darien, and return matches
are soon to be played against the
teams of both cities. Jacksonville, this
; season, is a terra Incognita to Sa
'vannah golfers, for whom It remains
to see this afternoon if they cannot
take the measure of the delegation that
has been sent from the Florida me
tropolis to uphold Its Country Club's
prowess.
, A promise of fair weather for the
' afternoon is given, though It may be
that, since the day follows so hard
upon the heels of blustering March,
that the winds may be too high for
' any very good scares to be made.

SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: FRIDAY. APRIL 1. 1904.
JOKERS OWN THE DAY
ACCORDING TO CALENDAR
Cigars Filled With Explosives and Candy Around
Soap Will Be Plentiful.
Don’t do It! No matter what it is—
just don't do it!
Your friends will be kind and
thoughtful to-day, and if you only look
the part you will be loaded down with
cigars and candy, and other things.
But the other things will be for the
most part laughs, unless you politely
but firmly decline to accept anything
offered. Don’t even propose to your
Intended, even though you have reason
to believe she will take you at your
word. She might only be fooling.
For to-day is All Fools’ Day!
This is the day of all days when one
must be careful. It Is a day when
candy, cigars, drinks, tips on the mar
ket, and kindred things, should be
shunned.
Don’t believe anything that Is told
you, and don’t tell anything that you
want people to believe. For they
won’t.
Just do your work, say as little as
possible, and remember that it only
comes around once a year. You might
not be able to stand it if it happened
oftener.

HOW SALMON HIX.
nig and Little Strrnms Literally
Choked With Flsli.
From Good Health.
Imagine yourself on the seashore in
Alaska, In the month of September,
rambling on for the pleasure of It, and
picking up a curious shell now and
then. You see ahead a fresh water
stream which is in your path. As
you approach you are surprised to find
the who’e stream filled, crowded, with
struggling salmon. If you follow the
stream back from the shore a mile or
so, you will find it literally packed with
salmon all the way, although the water
is so shallow that no fish Is more than
half covered. Your surprise is In
creased when you approach near
enough to touch them with your foot,
and find that they pay not the slightest
attention to you. They struggle fierce
ly on up the stream, the females to
deposit their eggs, the males to pro
tect the females. All are Intent upon
that mad suicidal rusl; up the stream
It Is suicidal because not a single sal
mon out of those hundreds before you
ever comes back alive. From the out
set they neither eat nor rest, and as
you follow them up stream you soon
see the effects of their battle. Their
flesh Is knocked off against the stones;
here you see one striving desperately
agatnst his fellows, with nothing left
of his once powerful tail but the bones,
and many of them are broken; the flesh
may be falling from his back or torn
from his belly, still he fights on until
death. If it Is a female you may see
the eggs dragging from an ugly gash
in her side, one fin is torn off, two
more are useless, every effort to propel
herself leaves a trail of blood, but she
swims on with the rest.
You are sickened by such a sight,
and conclude that the shallowness of
the stream will account for the condi
tion Qf the fish. So you go to 4 larger
stream, thirty feet in width and eight
feet in depth; here you find thousands
of salmon lashing the water Into foam
in their efforts to distance one another.
They are swimming packed layer on
layer, like sardines. Here the condi
tions of the smaller stream are repeat
ed on a larger scale. The fish are not
only torn to pieces by rocks, but de
stroy one another. If you pick up
one that appears whole he twill fall to
pieces of his own weight.
—"The cooks must have great times
at Mem." "Yes; they send the pota
toes up the clock-tower and have them
peeled by the bell.”—Harvard Lam
| pooti.
Be careful when you get up this
morning, and even at the risk of show
ing up late at the office, don't dress
without looking.
Even if you do fall to turn up on
the minute you can tell the “boss”
that his watch is wrong and he won’t
know any better.
It’s a day when everything goes, and
it will not be necessary for you to ex
plain to him that you were searching
your shoes for marbles, and your
trousers for cockspurs.
Just let the “boss” have the first
thought that comes to your mind. He
won’t believe It, but he wouldn’t be
lieve the truth if you were rash enough
to tell it to him.
When you board a car for the office
don't forget that the police are power
less. Remember that the day is one
on which the jokesters are permitted to
do their heavy work without inter
ference on the part of the uniformed
men. ’.
You may not think it right for the
jester* to be given full sway if it is
only for a day, but the calendar says
It is, and you’ll have to grin and bear
it.

A NEW CALENDAR.
A Reformer Proposes a Tlilrteen-
Mnth Year, and Makes This Year
A. V. 304.
Correspondence New York Sun.
The tendency of the present day is
to reduce complexity to simplicity, to
convert multiformity Into uniformity,
chaos to system, superstition to science,
etc. Why may this not apply to our
existing calendar?
In the first place, the year should be
called Anno Veri, the year of truth,
Instead of Anno Domini, because all
years since creation are “years of the
Lord." It should begin from the time
When wo first discovered what caused
the year, viz., the revolution of the
earth around the sun. This was prac
tically established In 1600 by Galileo
with his "sol stat.” The present year,
therefore, would be A. V.
Our months originate from the phases
of the moon. There are thirteen
“months,” hence there should be thir
teen months. It would be better that
these months should be named nu
merallv—Latin numerals preferred as
Primus, Seeundus, TertiuS, Quartus,
Quintus, Sextus, Septimus, Octavus,
Nonus, Decimus, Undecimus (or for
brevity, Uncemus); Duodecimus (or
for brevity Docemus),<Tredecimus (or
for brevity Treclmus). Since, however,
people are averse to changes, perhaps
the slmpllest plan would be to add one
more month. Each month should have
twenty-eight days, or seven weeks,
which correspond to the aspects of the
moon from dark to full and back
again. Bach day of the month would
then occur on the same day of the
week throughout the entire year.
Thirteen months of twenty-eight
days equals 364 days. There would
thus be one odd day each year and
two such odd days In Igap years. This
day should not be counted in the cal
endar at all. but set aside and cele
brated as New Year's day. In leap
years there would be two such holi
dlayfc'. The first of the fiscal year
should be the first Monday after the
winter solstice, excepting the New
Year dny. This would be Dec. 18.
In the year 1907 Dec. 23 will occur on
Monday.
The day of rest should not he the
first, but the last day of the week,
as the Bible directs that It should be.
Coming, as they do. so close together,
Christmas and New Year s day could
be celebrated as one. In fact, our
Christmas day, as nt present celebrat
ed. has undoubted association with the
sun’s first perceptible northern ad
vance. If the months retained their
present names. It would only be neces
sary to add another and call It Tre
oember, or the abbreviated thirteen.
To conform to this the dates of fix
ed events or celebrations would have
to be altered. Of course superstition
and the obduracy or habit would, for
a while, revolt against ihls, but such
Is the flate of all reforms, however
beneficent or logical. Vhe superstition
as to 13 would alao frighten some
small Intelligences, but the facts of
nature as we now know them pro
claim the patchwork of our twelve
months calendar, some containing
thirty days, some thirty-one days and
one twenty-eight or twenty-nine days,
aa conditions require.
Our perpetual and nature-made cal
endar would then be as follows;
Anno Veri, 304. New Year's Day and
Christmas, Dec. 22.

to 7,000 feet, whither the marauding
mongoose cannot follow them. I ask
ed a young niece of my own who late
ly left Honolulu what birds visited
their grounds three miles up the val
ley rogd, and she tells me, “Java
sparrows, rice birds and those
squawking mynahs. The last eat up
all our young figs and grapes, unless
we throw' the tennis nets over them.
The natives call the mynah manu
al pilau—that is. “bird who eats filth."
He does some good, then, as well as
ill.
That watching of birds which Is es
sential to a knowledge of ihelr life
history has, indeed, been Impossible
to most visitors to Hawaii. And now
that annexation Is giving an impetus
to the development of the country’s
resources, the inevitable destruction of
Its forests, even if the birds them-
Helves do not perish with the trees
that sheltered and fed them, Is driv
ing them up to still more inaccessible
hlghts and wooded depths between
the sharp volcanic peaks which will
baffle the hardiest climber.
