BACON BLOCKS
GEN. BARRY’S GAME
NO NEGRO TROOPS AT TYBEE.
GEORGIA SENATOR PERSONAL,!/*
PRESENTS PROTEST.
Called at tlie Wap Department In
NVanlifngton Yesterday Tele
graphed Mayor Myers of Filing; of
Protest and Is Confident Fort
Screven Will Not SnlTer Because of
General Harry's Recommendation.
Tlie Mayor Very Mach Gratified.
I called personally at the War De
partment to-day and tiled it written
protest against tlie stationing of col
ored troops on Tybee Island. I am
confident the objections will be sus
tained.—A. O. Bacon.
The above telegram from Senator A.
O. Bacon, who was in Washington
yesterday, was received early last
night by Mayor Herman Myers. The
Mayor Was gratified at the contents of
the message.
When the report of Gen. Thomas H.
Barry, commander of the Department
cf the Gulf, recommending that ne
groes be enlisted for the artillery, and
assigned to the companies serving at
eeaeoast posts, from Virginia to New
Orleans, was made public. Mayor
Myers at once wrote Senators Bacon
and Clax.
The Mayor protested in strong lan
guage and asked the Georgia senators
to take the matter up at once. He is
pleased at the action taken by Sen
ator Bacon, and said he has no fear
now of the outcome of the matter. On
Monday Mr. Myers will write Senator
Bacon thanking him for what he has
done, and assuring him his efforts are
appreciated, not only by the people of
this section, but of the entire state.
"I have never heard of any great
sickness among the men at Fort
Screven, and judging from those I
have seen on the island and in the
pity, they are a very healthy and very
active body of men,” said Mayor My
ers. "These soldiers have enjoyed all
the advantages of the seashore resort,
their relations with the visitors have
always been pleasant, and Savannah
lans have always felt a pardonable
pride in the Fort and its garrison.
“To change this condition and place
n. garrison of negro soldiers on the is
land would be not only objectionable,
but decidedly injurious to the inter
ests of Savannah. The same, I be
lieve, would be true of the other posts
at the Southern seashore resorts. The
water and air are as good at our post
as at the posts on the Northern coasts.
If negro artillerymen are to be util
ized the trial should be made at the
posts along the coast of New Jersey,
New York, Massachusetts or other
Northern states.”
WOUNDED WATCHMAN IS
NOW OUT OF DANGER.
J. If. Steele, spot l.y Negro Robber,
Will Recover.
J. N. Steele, the Seaboard Air Dine
watchman, who was shot by a negro
robber at the Georgia Car Works
Friday night. Is improving rapidly,
and is now out of danger, It was an
nounced last night at the Park View
Sanitarium.
The identity of the negro who did
the shooting is .still unknown, though
detectives are at work on the case.
The negro was taking brass from a
car and putting it in a sack, when
the officer found him. When caught
he resisted arrest and a lively fight
followed. The robber succeeded In
throwing the watchman to the ground
and taking his pistol away from him.
He then shot Steele as the struggle
continued.
SURE THINGS PUT
MANY ON THE BRICKS.
Notwithstanding the fact that pool
rooms were run out of Savannah be
cause the Supreme Court decided they
were against the law, there is still a
great deal of betting on the races go
ing on here, the money being tele
graphed to Augusta, Charleston or
other places.
For the last few days the betting
here has been something ‘‘fierce,” ow
ing to a long string of “sure tips,”
which one of “the boys” got.
It is needless to say the tips didn’t
win. They never do. somehow, unless
one neglects to play them. But the
“sure things" kept coming day by day
and the “boys” doubled up to get even.
Yesterday most of the fellows swore
off, forever and forever.
WOMAN IN DITCH
WITH GASH IN HEAD.
While on a surveying expedition yes
terday Assistant City Engineer How
ard found a white woman, with a gash
across her forehead, in a ditch near
Lincoln Pask. The police were noti
fied and Detectives Wall and Murphy
made a rapid drive to the scene.
The husband of the woman said she
was drunk and had fallen in the ditch.
It had been rumored that the husband
had knocked her into the ditch, but
this could not be substantiated. No
arrests were made. The woman was
not seriously hurt. Whether she fell
or was knocked into the ditch, she had
been drinking.
REFUSE TO TALK
ABOUT INJURED BOY.
The father of Fred Murphy, the boy
Injured In the Central Railroad yards
Thursday night, is expected to arrive
from Louisville this morning.
The boy Is doing well at the hospital,
and will soon recover, it is thought
His presence in the railroad yards]
however, is still unexplained, so far as
the public is concerned.
Dr. W. H. Elliott, the railroad phy
sician, who Is attending the boy, has
requested the hospital authorities not
to give out any information on the
case.
NEGRO STRUCK OFFICER.
For disorderly conduct, striking an
officer and carrying concealed weap
ons, Andrew Ferguson, a negro, was
fined 110 or thirty days by the Re
corder yesterday morning and remand
ed to the City Court. Patrolman Co
hen was the officer, who was struck.
The negro was disorderly and when
the patrolman went to arrest him he
leslsted. After he was taken In
charge it was found he had a pistol In
his pocket.

RODE COLONEL’S HORSE
AND MADE HIS ESCAPE.
Arrest of Suspect Has Been Ma.de by
Patrolman Hicks.
William Robinson, a negro, was . ar
rested by Patrolman Hicks yesterday
on suspicion. It being thought he is a
negro who ran away from the police
station last Monday, just as he was
beginning to serve a thirty-day sen
tence. The negro denies he is the man
wanted and some of the police officers
also say he is not tffe right negro, but
others think he is.
The William Robinson, who ran
away, was tried in Police Court Mon
day morning and sentenced to serve
thirty days. He was held at the sta
tion house to work there and the same
afternoon was sent to take a horse to
Col. W. L. Grayson to ride in the pa
rade, which marked the opening of
the carnival. The horse was delivered
to Col. Grayson, but the negro did not
return to the police station.
Though the name of the man under
arrest is the same as the one who es
caped, he contends he is a different
person and some of the officers agree
with him. He remained at the police
station such a short time that it is
difficult for the officers to be certain
whether the man caught is the right
one. Officers who will know positive
ly will look at him this morning.

SAVANNAH MORNING NIJWS: SUNDAY. NOVEMBER 6. 1904.
CITY WILL HAVE
LARGE BALANCE
TO BEGIN NEW YEAR ON.
CHAIRMAN OF FINANCE COMMIT
TEE MAKES ESTIMATE.
Alderman Dixon Says There Will Be
9125,000 Carried Over a* End of
the Year—Title Amount Is Not a
Haphazard Guess, But Was Ar
rived at by Hard Work, Carefully
Estimating the City’s Income and
Expenses for Balance of Year.
Alderman James M. Dixon, chairman
of the Finance Committee of Council,
says the city will carry over in the
treasury a balance of $125,000 at the
end of the vear.
This statement is not made off-hand,
but is the result of several days’ work
which Mr. Dixoif has put in investi
gating the financial condition of the
city.
On Oct. 31 there was $153,678.08 In the
treasury. The city’s income for the
balance of the year has been estimat
ed, and the amount of money that will
have to be payed out has also been
figured out as closely as possible.
Leaving due allowance for small un
expected expenses, Mr. Dixon says the
city will have $125,000 at the end of the
year.
Mayor Myers, It will be remembered,
complained a short time ago about the
amount of money on hand in the
treasury. The city then had on hand
more money than at the same time
during any previous year, but the
Mayor thought the amount should be
even larger, by reason of the money
that was obtained this year from the
sale of real estate.
If the $125,000 is carried over as pre
dicted, it will be by far the largest
balance ever known at the end of a
year. It will place the city at once in
a position to meet all the unusual ex
penses, incident to -the building of the
City Hall, and the other improvements
that are being made. Already almost
$50,000 has been spent on the City Hall,
so that with the balance that it is
thought will be carried over, it can be
almost entirely paid for without draw
ing upon next year’s income. The con
tract price for the building is $208,000.
“The city is in better financial con
dition than ever before.” said Chair
man Dixon of the Finance Committee,
In discussing the subject. “We will
carry over a much larger balance than
has ever been known. I have estimat
ed the amount at about $125,000, and I
am certain 4t will not vary very much
from that. With such a balance on
hand at the beginning of the year, we
can easily pay for the improvements
already under way, and make a great
many more.”
HUSBAND WANTED TO SEE
THE DANCING GIRLS.
Drunken Man Lost Wife and Wanted
to Sit With Dancers.
A half-drunken countryman was tak
ing in the Pike attractions last night,
and was charmed by the display of
girls in front of Wonderful Asia.
“Come on. Mariaer,” he said as he
attempted to drag his unwilling spouse
to tlie ticket stand.
Rather than make a scene, Maria
consented to enter with her lord and
master, but the show had hardly start
ed before she left the old man and
sought the open air.
Apparently rather glad to lose his
wife just then, the countryman made
his way up to the stage where the
dancers and Syrians were seated, and
finding a vacant chair, proceeded to
occupy it.
In vain the Syrians in broken Eng
lish tried to tell him he was not want
ed there, and finally when mild means
failed, they tumbled him to the
ground.
There being no seats convenient, the
countryman continued to occupy na
ture’s Qhair, and during the course of
the performance, shouted his indorse
ment of the dancing from time to
time.
When the man emerged from the
show with rather a shame-faced air,
his wife was watching, and without
further ado, pounced upon her maud
lin husband and when last seen, had
him headed for the trolley car.

GLOBE TROTTING BOY
LOST IN SAVANNAH.
Bat lie Hail Been Lost In Many
Places Many Time* Before.
Frederick' Lagache, the 7-year-old
son of Mr. and Mrs. G. Lagache of
Paris, who are working their way
around the world, got lost and was
carried to police headquarters yester
day afternoon, but Fred did not mind
that.
He had been lost before—in many
cities, in many lands. He appeared
as much at home with the patrolmen
and desk sergeant as an ordinary boy
would with his mother. He answered
ail questions in a grave sort of fash
ion, and quietly asked Detective Wall
to put him down, when that officer
caught him by the seat of the trous
ers and lifted him high above his head.
When the plain clothes man continued
to swing him up and down rapidly,
however, the reserve of the little fel
low was broken, and he laughed.
The boy had been found on Jefferson
street by two Savannah boys. He did
not know how to return to his par
ents’ lodgings and the Savannah lads
took him in charge. They piloted him
down to West Broad street and there
Patrolman Meyers was found. He
sent the boy to the police station and
the Savannah boys accompanied him.
When the boy reached police head
quarters, no one knew who he was.
"AVhat’s your name, my little man?”
inquired Desk Sergeant McCool.
“Frederick Lagache.” the boy re
plied. "I want to go home.”
“All right. I’ll send you home,” Sergt.
McCool replied. “Where did you come
from?”
“Paris,” replied the boy gravely.
Sergt. McCool was dazed for a min
ute, and then he remembered reading
in the Morning News of the eouple
with three children, who are traveling
around the world, and are now in Sa
vannah. After an hour or two Lagache
called at police headquarters, and the
boy was turned over to him.
TROOP H AFTER RECRUITS
FOR CAVALRY SERVICE.
Crack Horsemen nt Carnival Are
Also Serving Uncle Snm.
It Is not generally known that Troop
H, Seventh Cavalry, which has been
giving exhibition drills at the carni
val, has for its ostensible object the
getting of recruits for the cavalry
branch of the service.
One recruit has been secured thus
far, a soldier who was at Fort Screven
in the artillery branch of the serv
ice. His enlistment was out a few
days ago, and he was attracted by
the display made by the cavalry at the
stadium. The result was he enlisted
with the cavalry.
There are no vacancies in Troop H,
and recruits will be sent to other com
panies. While there is no picking al
lowed, it so happens that Troop H is
composed almost entirely of skilled
horsemen.
This is the first trip of the troop,
and there was only twenty days’ prep
aration before the men left for Jack
sonville, on Oct. 21. Next Friday the
troop will go to Tampa, after which
it will return to Chiekamauga, where
the Seventh Regiment is stationed.
Nearly forty days will have been con
sumed on the trip.
"We have had a very pleasant time,”
said Lieut. Lovell, who is in command
of the troop, last night. “The Savan
nah people have provided everything
we asked for. and have looked after
our comfort in many ways. This is
our first trip to this city, but we will
cherish many pleasant memories of our
stay.” •
The Seventh Cavalry Is Custer’s old
regiment, that brave officer having left
only the name from the massacre.
PRICES HIGH BUT NO
BIRDS IN MARKET.
Quail, Doves and Ducks Protected
by Warm Weather Thu* Far.
Prices for quail, doves, ducks and
small game have soared skyward since
the opening of the game season on
Nov. 1. In fact, it is hard to secure
the toothsome birds at any price.
One reason of the scarcity and the
high price is that no frosts has come
yet sufficiently heavy to drive out the
snakes, of which the hunters and dogs
alike stand in dread.
Hunters report there are abundance
of quail, doves and ducks, as the sea
son has been unusually favorable for
the increase of the birds. Almost any
morning a frost is liable to drive out
the snakes, and then prices will come
down.
In the matter of prices, which, how
ever, cannot bring the quail, the quo
tation for quail is 50 cents per pair, in
stead of 30 cents, as usually at this
season. The price for doves is 40 cents
a pair, the regular prices being 25
cents. Ducks are quoted at from $1.25
to $1.60.
One dealer stated yesterday he had
an order for twelve dozen quail, but
had not a single bird to send. Other
dealers are facing the same Conditions
From the present outlook, those who
fancy the birds named will have to
wait until cooler weather comes, when
the supply will no doubt overtake the
demand In short order.
GIVEN THIRTY DAYS
AND ALSO REMANDED.
Police Prbourr Who Impersonated
Another Given Hearing.
Barrlck Anderson, the negro who
escaped from the police station several
weeks ago by impersonating Willie
Perry, another prisoner, was sentenced
to thirty days in jail by the Recorder
yesterday morning, and also remand
ed to the Superior Court on a charge
of obtaining money under false pre
tenses.
Perry had $2 in the desls sergeant’s
office and when Anderson was released
in Perry's name he was given the
money. He signed a receipt for the
money, signing Perry’s name. Pa
trolman Collins, who had gone to the
police station and called for Perry,
testified that Anderson came out, pre
tended he was Perry and later signed
Perry’s name to the receipt for the
money.
Anderson stated that he had been
told someone was going to sign his
bond and he thought he was to be
released. He failed to explain how he
came to sign Perry’s name, however.

MAKING PLANS FOR
T. P, A. CONVENTION
TRADE BODIES INTERESTED.
COMMITTEE MADE UR OF MAYOR
AND PRESIDENTS OF BODIES.
Will Plan for Entertainment of 1005
Viaitor* and Will Raise Money for
Pnrpoae—May Have Gala Week at
Same Time as the Convention In
Order to Bring Big Crowd* to the
City—Auditorium Question Di
eamed.
A committee composed of Mayor
Myers and the presidents of each of
the trad'e organizations of the city will
determine upon the plans for enter
taining the national convention of T.
P. A.’s, which comes to Savannah
during May or June of next year.
This was decided upon at a joint
meeting of the local T. P. A.’s and
representatives of the Chamber of
Commerce, the Board of Trade and the
Retail Merchants' Association.
The committee agreed upon yester
day will have entire charge of the ar
rangements, and will even determine,
after conferring with the National T.
P. A. Committee, the time the conven
tion is to be held. This general com
mittee will appoint sub-committees to
raise funds for the entertainment of
the visitors, and for the various detail
work that will have to be dona*
Make it Gala Week.
It was suggested at the meeting yes
terday that it would be a good idea
to have an old “May week” at the
time the convention is here, the ob
ject being to bring to the city not
only the drummers from all over the
country, but also the people generally
from the territory surrounding Sa
vannah.
The suggestion was discussed, but
nothing was decided. This, as well as
all other plans, will be left to the gen
eral committee. Some of those at
the meeting thought it would not be a
good plan to have the convention and
the festival at the same time. All
present approved of having a festi
val, but some of them thought It
should be entirely separate from the
convention. t
The Andltorlnm Question,
Mr. Sig. Gardner took advantage of
the meeting to get in some work for
the auditorium. He asked President
Frank of the Travelers’ Protective As
sociation, where the meetings of the
convention would be held, and then
went on to show Savannah should
have an auditorium for just such oc
casions.
If the people would just get together
and work, the money could easily be
raised, he said. Both Mayor Myers
and Mr. George J. Baldwin had told
him, he said, they would each give
SSOO towards building an auditorium,
provided $5,000 were first raised by the
button plan.
Big Crowd Coming.
There will be about 500 regular dele
gates at the convention and probably
as many more visitors in the city at
the time. Almost all of the dele
gates carry their wives and children
to the convention. To entertain so
large a crowd it will, of course, he
necessary to have quite a large
amount of money.
The city and the Chamber of Com
merce had already offered to aid, and
the other bodies agreed yesterday to
lend their support both morally and
financially.
Hitcb Not Di*ea*ed.
There was a very small attendance
at the meeting and the resolutions
indorsing Capt. Hitch were not
brought up at all. Indeed, the T. P. As.
did not hold a meeting after the joint
meeting with the other organizations.
President Frank announced after
the meeting that the resolutions in
regard to Capt. Hitch would be
passed at the first meeting held. He
said he had talked with a number of
the members and all of them were in
favor of passing them. The resolutions
indorse Capt. Hitch and condemn Gov.
Terrell in regard to the recent States
boro affair.
“JUDGE PARKER,” THE CAT,
FELL FROM WINDOW.
One of the most remarkable In
stances of the virility of the cat was
brought to light yesterday, when a fe
line, which had taken up his abode
in the Morning News business office,
returned, after an absence of three
weeks.
About four months ago the cat first
made his appearance In the office. His
favorite position was on the ledge of
the counter nearest the door. Here he
would doze for hours at a time until
some mongrel cur made its appear
ance, and then he would awaken all
of his energies and pounce down on
the unsuspecting canine like a ton of
brick.
So constant was the cat in his affec
tions for those around the office that
he was finally adopted as the official
head of the mice exterminating bri
gade. He was given the name of the
next President, Judge Alton B. Par
ker. When not on duty in the business
office the cat would climb to the sixth
floor and spend the night in the com
posing room. One night he either fell
or was thrown from a window on the
sixth floor to the pavement below. His
cries as he dragged himself away could
be heard a block, and when no trace
of him was discovered the next morn
ing, it was supposed he had been
killed.
When the story was repeated to
Parker enthusiasts some of the more
skeptical accepted It as an 111 omen.
To these it will be some comfort to
know that early yesterday morning
Judge Parker found his way hack into
the business office. He was too feeble
to take his old position of vantage
over wandering canines. Both of his
eyes were badly damaged, indicating
he had fallen on his head, and his
back seemed to be badly injured. He
could barely puil himself around on
the floor, but Is mending rapidly and
is being -carefully looked after.

The Greatest Problem ol Life.
How to Be Truly Happy.
The majority of business men work
hard and take but little comfort dur
ing their lives, yet comparatively few
get rich. Where is the difference m
leaving your wealth—even If you get It,
and the chances are decidedly against
you—ln real estate, or bonds, or in cash
from life insurance policies? You may
have a good business and enjoy a good
income; make its perpetuity sure to
your family after you are gone. In no
way can you do this more absolutely
certain than by an adequate amount
of the proper kind of life insurance.
The kind that will enable you to live
well, educate and enjoy yourself, grati
fy your higher faculties and have your
family do likewise. You may arrange
your life insurance so as to have it
mature when you reach 65 years, 60
that at that time, if you live, you will
be comfortably fixed, and should you
die before then you will die rich any
way. You might pinch and save and
stint your family all your life and then
die poor, leaving them uncared for. A
little thought will convince any one
that this solves the greatest problem
of life—how to be truly happy. Don’t
worry about contingencies—they are all
provided for under the laws of Massa
chusetts and the policy contracts of the
Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance
Company. If misfortune comes, you
cannot lose a penny, for you will have
returned to you every dollar that you
paid except what it actually cost to
insure you. Remember also that de
lays are dangerous. Write at once,
state your age and address, and com
prehensive and interesting literature
will be sent you. Address Harty &

A MEDITATIVE MONKEY WHO
REASONS LIKE A MAN.
He Smokes Cigars, Detests Cigar
ettes and Love* Rye Whiskey Like
Lots of Meu*
The Gentry Bros. Famous Trained
animal shows, which are coming to
this pface for four exhibitions on Nov.
7 and 8, have perhaps the most re
markable monkey in the world. His
name is Ike and he is down on the pro
gramme as a physician. Ike is a deep
thinker and a reasoner. He figures
things out for himself, and looks upon
the rest of the monkeys with a sur
prising degree of contempt. In the
opinion of Ike, who is a big fellow,
almost as large as a man, the rest of
the monkey comedians with the com
pany are a lot of scullions, but this
opinion does not happen to be shared
by the audience. The Gentry monkeys
are famous. There are no others like
them. There is a monkey the'ater and
a monkey fire department, both are
old acts, but without them no Gen
try show would be complete. But this
is a story of Ike, the Monk. Ike, ac
cording to the press agent, positively
refuses to associate with the rest of
his four-footed colleagues. He con
siders himself above them. Thinks he
is a better actor, perhaps. Once upon
a time, and not m’any months ago,
Ike had a sweetheart. She was a very
winsome lady monkey, a talented ac
tress and very prepossessing in ap
pearance. One morning she died, suc
cumbing to consumption, and since that
hour Ike Iras never been himself. He
developed a tendency to indulge in the
wildest dissipation. He would stay full
all the time, if he could get the booze.
The viler the brand the better it suits
Ike. He is also a good judge of cigars
and has been smoking them for a year
or two. Tobacco, however, is not good
for his health, and as he is one of the
most valuable among the entire com
pany of wonderful four-footed perform
ers, he is seldom allowed to indulge.
One good trait which Ike possesses is
his abho ranee for cigarettes. The
sight of a man or boy smoking one in
stantly has the effect of putting him in
a temper, and the other day he grabbed
one out of his attendants mouth and
offered him the remains of a good cigar
instead. Ike is very friendly with those
he likes, and is the only monkey in
the show business who eats with a
knife and fork.—ad.
