SCHOONER LOAD OF FIREWORKS BIGGEST DEMAND ON RECORD. uealers have filed second or. der to meet trade. sm annnli Distributing Point for AH of Tills Section of Country for Fireworks—Merchants Here Mak ing Oreat Preparations for Holi day Trade, Which Is Expected to Be Liveliest on Record—New Toys and Novelties for Little Folks. With a schooner load of fireworks already dumped into the local market, dealers have been forced to place a second order, so brisk has the demand for fireworks been. It is the custom of the wholesale dealers of Savannah to pool their or ders for fireworks for the holiday trade, charter a schooner and bring them to Savannah for Just one-fourth the cost of transportation by rail. Steamship lines will not handle them at all, and It is for this reason Savan nah has developed as the principal dis tributing point for fireworks for this section of the South. One can hardly comprehend the enor mous amount of powder that is burned on a Christmas holiday in Savannah and the adjoining country until he sees one of these fireworks specials dump its load of rockets, roman can dles, pin wheels, crackers of every size and description along the water front. This is but a part of the enormous supply that is consumed each year in Savannah and adjacent towns. Lave a Second Order. As long ag-o as two months the local wholesalers placed their orders for Christmas fireworks, and chartered a ship to transport them from Philadel phia to Savannah. They had hardly arrived before or- Sers largely exceeding the cargo aboard the vessel had been sold, and second orders have been placed. From Savannah fireworks are shipped to wholesalers in Atlanta, Macon, Albany, "ordele, Brunswick and other points In arge quantities. While it is expected that the demand for fireworks this Christmas will be n excess of former years merchants will be prepared to serve all custom srs, and there will not be a scarcity f noise-making and spectacular dis play novelties. Many New Novelties. Toy shop keepers are also laying in large supplies of goods, bringing many new and attractive novelties here, from whence they will be dis tributed through the surrounding country. When asked the reason for the ex cessive demand this year a prominent wholesaler said yesterday that it was occasioned by the generally prosper ous condition of the people In the in terior, and the Increased orders of the storekeepers there. This Christmas will find the South In better condition to enjoy the holi day than at any time since the war. The South's trade has been enormous, exceeding any previous year by a large margin. BIG RAILROAD CHANGES Likely to Come From Successful Trial of No. 0,000, Electric. From the New York Tribune. The people of this city have reason to feel a lively interest in the tests of the electric locomotive, No. 6,000 which were made near Schenectady on Saturday, and were reported in the Tribune yesterday. That machine and about forty others which have been ordered will be put into service in and just north of the metropolis. For moving its suburban trains the New York Central will employ substantially the same system as that which has been adopted on the elevated roads. Some of the cars will be equipped with the necessary motive machinery un der their floors. For through trains It is proposed to use independent loco motives, which can be detached in 'an HOW WEAK MEN ARE BUILT UP Not by Taking Aphrodisiacs, Stimulants, Temporary Ex citants and Such Things, but by a Thorough Constitutional Treatment Such as Formu lated by Dr. Hathaway, the Eminent Specialist in These Diseases.

One of these will be sub stituted for the steam locomotive when a train reaches Croton, coming south ward on the Hudson river division, or White Plains, on the Harlem division. With outbound trains, the first part of the haul will be effected by electricity, and an exchange to steam will be made at the places mentioned. The normal capacity of the engine which has just undergone official trials Is 2,200 horsepower, which is 50 per cent, more than that of the one which draws the Empire State Express. In emergencies is can develop 600 more. It has demonstrated its ability to han dle a nine-car train at a speed of sixty miles or more an hour, and in spurting to travel seventy. The de signers of the machine, engineers of the General Electric Company, say that In order to secure the most economical consumption of current it is necessary to plan in advance for a given speed in the construction of that part of the machine known as the armature. By modifications of the winding of the wire in it any desired velocity could be at tained dasily. If faster engines than No. 6,000 are ever demanded, they can be produced on short notice. Again, if at any time one of the new locomotives should have a heavier load than usual to handle, two can be cou pled together and be operated by a single engineer. One important feature of this ma chine is that its w'hole weight, eighty five tons, rests on its drivers, and is thus made available in pulling. An other is that the four axles are in dependent of each other, and conse quently the driving wheels will do less injury to the track and roadbed than those of ordinary locomotives. A third merit is the extreme simplicity of the machinery. In an electric motor there is practically nothing that can get out of order except the armature or rotat ing part. There is one armature on each of the four axles of No. 6,000, and if one should give out it could be re moved and replaced in the ten minutes. The work of repair, therefore, would be reduced to a low minimum. Finally, the arrangement of the levelers in the cab closely resembles that on a steam locomotive, and a man who has had experience in running the latter could manage the new type of engine with little training. That little will doubt less be afforded when the time comes on the experimental section of track near Schenectady This bit of road is now only four miles long, but will soon have a length of seven. Above the third rail with which it is provided is fixed a wooden shield, at a distance of a few inches. The board is fastened in such a man ner that no interference occurs with the siding shoe that takes off the cur rent for the locomotive. Where the track crosses a country highway at grade a gap is left in the third rail, and the current is supplied by a over head conductor, suspended from poles and stoutly braced at a hight of twelve or fifteen feet from the ground. The conductor is a metal box. not a wire. To afford an entrance for the electrici ty to the engine the latter has two shoes, which are pressed upward with powerful springs. The trial last Saturday had more than a local importance. Representa tive railroad men from the Eastern part of the United States were pres ent to witness the performance. It has long been known that the mana gers of the Pennsylvania, Erie, Lack awanna, New Haven and other sys tems which are tributary to the me tropolis have had the adoption of elec tric traction under consideration, but interest in the subject is not confined to the men who shape the policy of these roads. A number of Western roads have also been studying the problem. The object lesson afforded on Saturday, therefore, must prove far reaching in its influence. Neither the New York Central, which is doing pioneer work for the country, nor the builders of No. 6,000 would have been willing to give such publicity to the test if they had not had every assur ance in advance that it would result successfully, it is hardly possible to overestimate the consequences of this single demonstration. —“I see,” began the man on the plat form, "that the President had been thinking of tendering his good offices to Russia.” "He has, eh?” spoke up the politician.

A Straight Talk From Rose 1 — 1 ■ - ►* On “Fake Whiskey Methods” We are not In competition with “FAKE” PREPAID LIQUOR SCHEMES. We do not have to prepay express or offer premiums in order to sell our product. Our goods are honestly worth the money asked, and we make the price so low, QUALITY CONSIDERED, that the con sumer can well afford to order from us and pay express charges, whether he lives In Oeorgla or far distant states, like Maine or California. MOW THE PREPAID SCHEME IS WORKED When you order from Rose you DON’T PAY SOME OTHER CONSUMER'S EXPRESS CHARGES. The prepaid scheme ia worked like this: Estimate cost of whiskey, add profit and also enough to cover any express charges, no matter how far away the consumer may be. For ex ample, a party in Georgia, whose express rate Is 25 cents on a package, pays his part on a package going to a consumer in California, whose rate is $1.75. Of course this additional cost must be made up in some way. THE DEALERS IN “FAKE" LIQUORS KNOW MANY WAYS FOR MAKING UP THIS EXTRA COST. PURE WHISKEY ONLY IS MEDICINE BUYING LIQUORS FOR MEDICINAL USE IS A BERIOUS BUSINESS. THE BEST IS NONE TOO GOOD. Only pure whiskey Is bene ficial as a medicine. The other kind poisons the tender lining and sensitive glands of the stomach. BUY ONLY FROM RELIABLE, EXPERIENCED DISTILLE R 8 OF UNQUESTIONABLE INTEGRI TY. To find out if the deader has this standing, pick out at random any business house or bank and write them, stamped envelope enclosed, or better, if possible, get a special Bradstreet or Dun report on the dealer’s standing, ask if he operates a distillery, and how he Is regarded in his own town.

Shipment* of Good* Have to be Ex amined Carefully and Promptly Now so That Positive Claim* for Losses Can Be Made at Once—This Entails Extra Work for Merchants But Is Made Necessary by Present Conditions—Common Carriers Los ing a Great Deal. Asa result of the seeming Increasing thefts from the railroad and steam ship companies Savannah merchants are exercising more care upon the re ceipt of their goods. In discussing the report that the common carriers are losing more heav ily than ever before several merchants stated yesterday that great care has to be taken now in examining goods Just as soon as they are received. Shipment after shipment comes in short and thousands of dollars worth of goods are being stolen yearly while in the care of the railroad and steam ship companies. Despite the fact that all the concerns have efficient detec tives, and that a great deal of stealing is prevented, the problem of reducing the thefts to a minimum has, it ap pears, reached an acute stage. "Package after package comes in short,” said a wholesale merchant in discussing the subject with a repre sentative of the Morning News, “and we have to be extremely cautious now. I understand that recently there has been a big Increase in the losses and that the corporations are having their hands full. It looks as If there might be some organized gang doing the work, although, of course, somebody employed by the companies must give aid. “The merchants are now forced to examine the contents of packages as soon as they are received so that proper claims can be made positively and promptly. This, of course, entails extra work and while less expensive to us is almost as annoying as it is to the railroad and steamship lines. Invariably we find several pairs of socks or stockings missing from a case, or a pair of shoes slipped from a box. These losses reach the thou sand dollar mark in an incredibly short space of time.” "I understand there Is an unusually large amount of stuff being reported short.” said a railroad official yester day, "and, of course. It muet be stolen. We have not lost any more than the usual amount of stuff recently, but other corporations, I am informed, have not been so fortunate. We all. of course, have considerable stuff stoten annually and there seems to be no way to stop it entirely.” THE INTELLIGENT BEETLE.

This pretty little creature with the dis agreeable smell is one of the 150,000 different species of beetles. Like all of the other Insects this one with the feminine name plays a part In main taining what the student of all the elements which make up this complex earth would call the balance of life. It is one of the bugs "that eats a bug," etc., and Itself is eaten, the whole being somewhat like “the house that Jack built." The entomologist has a hard time enough of it. for it is esti mated that there are more than 5.000,- 000 different species of Insects —more than are to be found of all the other groups of land animals together. In the course of his study of these six legged creatures with itheir strange metamorphoses he meets with many strange looking creatures which do strange things. There are said to be more beetles than any other order of insects. They range in size from the mighty Her cules beetle six inches long to little fellows so small that a microscope is needed to learn anything about them. Some of them are ferocious, indeed. Such is the tiger beetle. Many of them are cannibals. Some were believed once to be possessors of everlasting life— every season rising from the ground Dhoenlxllke. Fanciful stories have been told about the Hercules beetle with his three-inch horn. He lives in South America. Ac cording to one writer, he overindulged now and then in an inebriating cup. These immense insects, he declares, sometimes gather on the limb of the mammee tree to suck its juices. They nimbly rasp off the rind with their horns until they come to the Juicy in terior. The juice they drink until they become intoxicated and fall senseless to the ground. Another observer tells a tale which caps this. They saw off limbs, this ons calmly asserts. The operation is accompanied by a noise exactly like that of a knife grinder holding steel against the stone of his whaal. There is more than one beetle armed with a disagreeable odor. One is the row beetle. This beetle is said to be very numerous and very useful. The largest and most familiar member of the family Is known a* the "devil’s coach horse.” This cognomen was sug gested by his repulsive aspect, disgust ing odor and generally ferocious na ture. He is a dull black, narrow and a little over an Inch long. One may often see him scuttling along a path way ever ready to accept a challenge. A walking stick set down near him is sufficient to stir him up. Instantly he faces around to give battle, opening a formidable pair of sickle shaped jaws and bending the under part of his body over hie back, as if to suggest that, like a scorpion, he carries a sting in his tall. There is no sting, however, but a weapon almost as effective. This is nothing more than a pair of soft yel low vesicles, which can be protruded at will. From them floats a most abominable odor. Ha needs only a small amount of provocation to bring this battery into action. He Is not the only beetle oddly arm ed. There Is the bombarder. He is small, but carries about with him a piece of artillery. It Is not exactly what might be termed a "Long Tom,” but it might be described as a "stem chaser.” He provides a liquid which Is so vole tils that when It comes In contact with the open air It explodes with a slight report, leaving a cloud of thin smoke. This fluid Is capable of staining the human skin black, and *o deeply that it cannot be got rid of for several days. It will also burn. When a number of these beetles are found together and they are disturbed the scene suggests a battlefield In min- Uturs. A fust lad* will be continued for We cater for orders for medicinal use.

THAT’S WHY WE ADVERTISE; but if we have to misrepre sent and run a "FAKE" BUSINESS TO GET IT, WE DON’T WANT IT. WE HAVE FAITH IN HONEST METHODS IF WE COULD RECEIVE 5,000 ORDERS BY MISREPRESENTING AN ARTICLE IN OUR ADVERTISEMENTS, WE WOULD NOT DO IT. The newspapers are flooded with glar ing advertisements, offering six, eight, ten and twelve-year-old whiskey at ridiculously low prices. We are not looking for this class of customers.

WE HAVE THE FAITH TO TRY, ANYWAY, FOR IF WE SECURE A CUSTOMER HE WILL CONTINUE TO PATRONIZE OUR FIRM, WHILE THE "FAKE" DEALERS HAVE TO KEEP LOOKING FOR "NEW GAME.” We do not compete with dealers who have no reputa tion to lose.

The big fel low is heard advancing from the rear. With Jaw3 extended he runs rapidly toward his victim. Before him are ex tended his antennae, feeling for his prey. The little fellow stands his ground until the carabus is almost upon him. Suddenly the head of the larger beetle is hidden In a little cloud of vapor and a tiny report is heard. A second report quickly follows the first. The big beetle sfarts back in aston ishment. His antennae are seen to wave above the cloud and swing to th rear. Like the dog retreating with h' tall between his legs, the beetle h assumed a different attitude towa.n his enemy, and this is the slgrffU i the change. Before he recovers fro his ludicrous predicament he has fa!' en toward the rear almost as rapidly a he had previously advanced and hi prey has escaped. One beetle is credited with havln/ solved a certain geometrical problem long before man did it. Whatever hi everyday name may be, his scientific is Rhynchites Betuloe. L. Huygens the great mathematical genius, was the first one to exploit the problem in his “Horologium Oscillatorlum,” in 1673. The little beetle in nfaking a case for her eggs has learned how to adapt to her matics the involute and evolute. The purpose the two curves of higher mathematics is that of con structing from a problem which in volves a most complicated combination of different calculus and geometry. Some think that the beetle has the power to reason in a limited degree. A German artist, who is declared to have been a man of "strict veracity.” has told a story to Illustrate this. In a Journey through Italy he said he saw a species of scarabaeus busily engaged In making a pellet of soil for the reception of its egg. This, when it was finished, the beetle rolled to the summit of a small hillock a num ber of time, each time permitting It to tumble down the side. Apparent ly this was done for the sake of con solidating it by the addition of earth, which each time adhered to it. In the course of this process the pellet fell into a hole. The beetle was unable to get It out, try hard as It might. After several unsuccessful efforts she went away. Shortly she was observed returning, accompanying by three corn (lanions. The four put their shoul ders to the pellet, and It was soon out of the depression. This accom plished, the three assistants left the spot and returned to their previous oc cupation. Evidently the beetle has been able to discover what was neces sary, and had been able to communi cate her needs to three others of her kind. WHAT MERCHANTS NEED.

Judge Cann sentenced John. W. Cftirke esterday to pay a fine of 125 for dls egurdlng the orders of the court in egard to the use ot firearms in the iieachwood tract on Ossabaw Island. The story of the shooting was given yesterday in the Morning News. But little time w*as required in hear ing the case Col. Robert L. Coldlng, counsel for Larlssey and Mickler, ap peared for his clients and conducted the prosecution. The first witness calY ed was Deputy Sheriff Walter H. Flem ing, the officer who is in charge of af fairs on Ossabaw. He told of Clarke's shooting the hog, aiding in dragging him to the boat, and of the arrest. The defendant himself was then put on the stand to tell his side of the story. He admitted all the facts that had been stated by Deputy Fleming, but set up as a defense the fact that when he fired at the hog he did not know it was one of Larlssey’s hogs, but thought It was a wild hog, owned by neither party. He also told of how he happened to shoot the animal and as sured the court that by his act he meant no disrespect to Its orders, nor did he think he was interfering with the decree. In reply to questions from Col. Cold lng, he stated he was a college gradu ate, he had read the order of the court, and he understood its provisions.

The fact that Clarke whs an educated man was. In the opinion of the court, a fact that made the aot all the more Inexcusable. He knew of the hatred between Larlssey and Sasser. He was aware that the court was doing all in its power to end the trouble in the best way. He understood the neces sity of the order forbidding firearms in the contested district. He could not have been unaware of the provisions of the decree, as he himself had read it. Imposed Light Fine. The court then stated that, consider ing all the circumstances surrounding the Ossabaw Island feud, he did not deem any excuse that had been given one sufficiently good to allow him to let the defendant oft with only a lec ture. The fact that the defendant un derstood, as well as did the officers of the court, the serious results that might have followed his act only ag gravated the offense. In closing, Judge ONum said: "Un der all the circumstances I think a fine of 325 is exceedingly light, and the court advises you and all others on the Island that the ones who vio late the order which conditions made necessary will be severely punished.” The fins was paid during the after noon. —Maude: Did you read that maga zine article In which a physician advo cates yawning as a means of stopping the disagreeable buzzing in one’s ears?
