PAGE FOUR FATE OF SAVANNAH CLUB IH HANDS OF COOICIL SAVANNAH, CJa. —Upon whether or not the city council taken favorable action upon a petition from the Sa van nab baseball club at the next meet ing depends Ihe playing of the gain*) In Savannah this summer. The pe tition Is signed by President .1 F. Sul livan, and asks for the use of BoltOP •treat park for the season again. It Is set forth In the petition that If the city cannot grant Ihe use of the park the game will fall through this year as no other grounds can be secured. The matter was referred to the committee of the whole and will be reported on at the next meet ing. It Is probable that the commit tee will report favorably as some al dermen have expressed themselves as favoring sueh action and opening the streets through the park after the season closes If they arc ojvned at all.

Carlbs Use This Wood for Ordinary Building Purposes. Over at the north end of the town, In a valley sloping to the beach, U the Carlli settlement. There are 200 or 300 huts, with their mud walls and thatched roofs, and probably 1.000 Carlbs. There Is no better place along Ihe whole coast to see and study the Carlb. These people are all dark, resembling our negroes, of ten with strulghler hair, and with » somewhat different cast of face In the matter of cleanliness uml nttrac tlveness, they are superior to the average soulhern negro one sees on the plantations or around the towns. There are no neater people anywhere. They would aaam to be workers. The men are seldom found ns In borers on the banana plantations. 1 hough they frequently cultivate small yatches of their own. They are dock laborers, boatmen, men oj all work, sailors and all are fishermen. Every Carlb has his mahogany dory, made from the solid log by himself or some of hi* forebears. The dory Is a print.* requisite to Ihe coast Carlb. He will seldom part with his boat. Ho would sooner sell you bis child Most of the dories are small, but occasionally they are large enough to carry two or three sail*. The way a Carlb handles his boat In a rough sen Is worth u trip to witness. Sometimes It upsets with him. bui lie Is able to right It with little trouble. The women are great workers. They help In all the work gather the wood, cure the fish and everywhere you go where there Is water you see a Carlb woman washing clothes or carrying a load of laundry on her head. It Is a mystery where they find so many cldtbes to wash. One thing Is certain, the Carlb men. women and children all wear clenn clothes, except the boy of 6 or 6 years and under, who doesn't wear any at all. The Carlb women have a bowl or tray for their head-carried burdens, handmade ol mahogany, fro the root of the tree, which Is Interesting Good specimen* of these bowls, given the natural wood polish, make fine ornaments or souvenirs and travelers search for them. They are not easy, however, to obtain. It was a two hours' search, a visit and a smoke with a half dosen of the dusky owner* before two good specimens could be found.—Travel magazine. JAMES WILSON Wfajlf's Secretary of Agriculture •Tames Wilson, who retains his portfolio in President Taft’s cabinet.

A BREACH OF PROMISE CASE Prominent Citizen charged with Trifling with Lady’s Affections. For gome time, It Is alleged, one of our prominent citizens has paid more or less attention to a young and beautiful lady of this city. He now claims ihat he was not se rious In his Intentions and lhat he was not attached to her, but however, lbat may have been the young Indy became attached to him, and as he seems to have lost Interest In the matter she has attached his property, which Is a form of, attachment, that he does not enjoy. The result is. that ho finds him self the defendant In a first-class breach of promise case and his ques tionable attitude towards the Indy will be given an airing In the near future. The parties in the case are so prominent that it Is feared no court room will hold the vast crowd desir ous of attending the trial, so it will he held In Walker Hall, on Thursday i venlng. March lkili. under the aus pices of the Young Men's Christian association, for whose benefit the proceeds will be devoted. In other words, It will bo a mock court trial, and It promises to be one of the most enjoyable affairs of many years, as a large number of our lead ing people will participate In llio proceedings. The committee having the trial in charge have engaged Col. A. V. New ton. the well-known lawyer-lecturer of Worcester, Mass., to attend to the <|,-tails and personally conduct the entertainment. Col. Newton has had remarkable success In conducting similar enter tainments and without doubt the Breach of Promise Trial will be herq, as elsewhere, nn event long to bo re membered with pleasure, FORCE of habit. "John.” said the cnsTih-r's wlfn, drop ping Into the Imnk in tile midst of her shopping trip, "you forgot to leave mo Hint money this morning." "Whnt name?" asked the cashier, without looking up.
