THEY DEMAND MORE PAY. I
Perhaps Brunswick's Servant Girls |
Have Form'-d a Union.
I'he servant girl question has al
ways been a vexatious one to most
of Brunswick’s hou.-.ekecpcrs since
the war. The passage of time has
only served to increase the annoy
ances connected with it. Not the
least of these has been thb recent
suddyn demand for Increased wages.
Girls who a year ago were willing
to go into service for $4 or $5 a 1
month, and meals, now demand $6
and $8 and sometimes more for ren '
dering the same service. Those who ’
are utterly ignorant of the services
required of them, and wh> are seek- ’
ing places, are not in anywise more
medest in their requests, and ask for
us much as those who, in th? course
’of an’experience of a year or two, '
have learned something of the duties
of their positions.
While to persons with well tilled
purses, such an increase wotlld mean
nothing, it is felt by those who are
not so blessed in worldly possessions.
Some of them are inclined to believe
that the girls are in a sort of combi
nation. Whether this is so or not,
each one certainly seems to know
just what every other one is getting,
and what her prcdescessor was paid,
and they demand the higher wages
witti an air that conveys the idea
that it will be hopeless* to attempt
to get somebody else (or less.
TRIALS AND TRIBULATIONS
Os an Old Colored Couple that Came
Here to Marry.
An amusing incident occurred
this morning in the office of a notary
ptiblic-
An aged colored couple came into
the office and wanted to get married.
The man’s name was George Brown
an 1 the woman’s Malinda Weaver.
The old man had neglected to pro
cure a marriage license and a in- n
was scut with him to the ordinary’s
office.
Instead of going to the c-oirt
house the two were directed to a
young lawyer’s office, by some mis
ehievous boys. At tiiis latter place
the old darkey d-manded the neevs
sary papers. When requeste 1 by
the lawyer he gave his name leadily
enough, but he was unable to recall
the woman's name. * I 'ciar, bos--.”
he said, scratching his held. I dun
'cle-i.ii forgot dat lady s n.im--. sho."
Ou being tol 1 that he mint ascer
t.-tin the name of his intended before
liie license could issue, the obi man
burned back to the notary’s office to
provide himself with that infonna
lion. But his intended was n>t to
be found. The notary s.-dd s■ ■ had
teen absent fully twenty minutes.
The old fellow didn't give up, h .v
--ever. He commenced to tfearch for
| his missing treasure, and ere this he
' may have foumi her.

Washington, Aug 11. —To day the

silver by the Secretary of Treitsjiry
went into effect. The Treasurer of
the United States shipped to New
York yesterday a sufficient amount
of the new treasury notes to meet the

no new money could be got ready for

any other offices will be paid by

The shortness of timealso prevent

THE MYSTERY CLEARED.
The Box Found and Opened. The
Contents. A Letter.
The rtiystery is cleared!
It promised a great sensation.
The Post always gets the must reli
able information ttnd, to sustain ils
reputation in this case, it dispatched
one of its most icliable reporteis to
investigate the matter. Up to the
hour of going to press yesterday the
party had not returned. The party
composed of a Pcst reporter and the
two negroes, Smith and Dunn, left
the city yesterday morning at 10:30
o’clock, armed with hatchets, saws,
chisels and files, which were to lie
used tn opening the mysterious trunk
and rowed out Turtle River to the
place where the trunk was found
near “Buzzards’ Roast..”
Not much trouble was experienced
in reaching and finding the trunk.
The waters were and a brisk
wind tendered to make the trip a
pleasant one.
A few hundred yards on the Bruns
wick side of the “Roost” the trunk
or box was fouu 1. A sickening
i stench arose but with brave hearts
the party pressed on determined to
clear the mystery. After a cosider
able amount of trouble the box was
reached and lifted in the boat. The
box was made of white [line and was
H>xlffx24 inches. The negroes were
afraid to open the box and that
Cask devolved upon the
reporter. Il was the work of but a
few minutes and thfr ghastly con
tents were exposed to view. Some
‘•Jack Ripper” had collected all the
community cats, boxed them up and
scut them to sail on the bright blue
sea. One by one they were lifted out
until nine eats were fished- from the
box.
A note was found, sec :: ly envel
oped along with the cats, wl.ich read
as follows:
‘ Cat Nation, Aug. 1. I JO.—This
is to certify that these cats were
-hipped from the above named [tort
m this dale. They at e consigned to
her majesty the Queen. Hurry them
through.
“Jack Riiter.”
There was nothing else about the
box to indicate where they came
from and the reporter returned with
the satisfaction of knowing that his
duty was performed.
FROM GERMANY TO GEORGIA.
Two Little Children Complete a
Long and Perilous Journey.
Among the arrivals on the Bruns
wick and Western train two days ago
w re two grandchildren of Mr. 11,
M. Miller.
Paula and Edo Luenink were
their names, and they were aged
nine and ten years respectively.
They left Bremen, Germany, c>n
the second day of August on board
n Hamburg-Bremen steamer, bound
for New York. They had no rela
tives or friends on the steamer and
were entirely in the c. re of th ? cap
tain.
In this connection it will not be
amiss to state that the children are 1
orphans. Readers of The Post will i
remember that Mrs. Luenink’s death
was announced in these columns
nb . :t. three months ago. Having no
i.iie '.<• overlook tlein, Mr. Miller
th'light it advisable to have the lit |
tie fellows under his protection. ,
It was ibis that prompted him to (
write them to come. j
But to continue with their long |
ami p : ilous journey On August ,
11. the littb strangers landed in the t
greit American metropolis. By re- ,
qtie-t of Mr. Miller, Mrs. Isadore (
Mei-', who was in New York, met j
the children at Castle Garden and ,
carried litem to the wharf of thej,
Ocean Steamship Company, where a 1
Savannah steamer was lying. Here 1
they were placed in charge of the '
captain 1 1 the vessel which was
about to leave.
On arrival at Savannah, the cap
i t n of the steamer transferred the
children to the Savannah, Florida
and Western train. At Waycross
they were met by an uncle, who ac I
companm I them to Brunswick. It I
is a- ur<e of much satisfaction to'
Mr. Miller’s family that, the little
fellows came ail the way from Ger
m iuy to Georgia, a distance of 5,000
miles, alone and without any mis
i hup.

In every'city in the union and in

ganization.
The Y. M. (’. A. is chiefly instru

young men that now belong to the

the Y. M. C. A. buildings are among
the finest in the place.
By the laws of Georgia, as well as
in nearly every other state in the un
ion, Y. M. C. A. buildings, furniture,
libraries ami fixtures are exempt
from taxation.
This city has cause Io be proud of

It was organized in 1887 with fif
teen members, but by perseverance,
it has grown steadily until its mem
