Under the caption “Savannah Lays Down Law to Effingham” a circular has been put into the hands of the Voters of the adjoining county and Chatham county politicians are not *it all pleased. One or two of the circulars reached Bavannah yesterday morning and the administration followers begun saying things. They were offended at the contents of the circular, because they contend that the charges made are not true, and hcause Col. Kufus PI Lester was referred to in a "slurring man ner.” < ironlnr on lUnoifini. The circular is not signed and is as follows: “The Savannah politicians in mass meeting assembled last Tuesday night, passed a resolution saying if Effing ham did not vote as Savannah wanted them to on the senatorial question, they will repudiate the action of the people of Effingham. "How is this for bossism? "Do the independent people of Eff ingham belong to Chatham? "The same meeting in Savannah in dorsed Lester, who seems to think the office belongs to him. “In every section of the district peo ple are tired of Savannah running the •whole business, and they are going to Vote for Brannen from Bulloch county. "Let the independent manhood of Effingham assert itself and teach the ■a vannah bosses a lesson.” Not PifthtinK (or Foy. “We do not say that Effing-ham coun ty must elect John E. Foy.” said a leader of the administration forces ■who had scanned the circular, “but ■we do say that we will not agree to the election of Col. Morgan Rawls. “There is no use to mince matter now. We object to Col. Rawls. We do not want to do away with the ro tation system and we are not fight ing for Mr. Foy. We are simply op posing a man who is vacillating. "We contend that Chatham county Is vitally interested in the selection of a senator for this district, and we Insist that we have a right to ask that Effingham county select a man !who wtill not antagpnize our interests. Fight on Cnl- Rawls. "We have no candidate for the office and do not intend to have one. We simply propose to Insist that a man Who will be perfectly fair to us be chosen. And we do not feel that Col. Rawls is such a man. "It is quite true that we are making a fight on him. but certainly not in the interest of any other candidate. !We do not anticipate that the pro Brannen-Rawls circular will do Col. Rawls any good in Effingham, since Col. Lester has many staunch sup porters there who are certain to take notice of the circular that has been Issued." Will be. Seven Boim.

Mayor Myers said yesterday that no one had spoken to him in regard to the proposed recreation pier on the site of the City Exchange. Nothing can come of the sugges tion, the Mayor said, as the City H’all has been positively decided upon for this site. He thought the suggestion at this late date rather ill timed. No matter whether the pier would be a good thing or not, it could not be now, said the Mayor. Work of tearing down the Exchange and pre paring for the City Hall has advanced too far. he said. NEGRO WAS ACQUITTED OF FORGERY CHARGE. Case \gninnt Daniel Brook* Not Called Until I .ate In Day. After 6 o'clock last night, when the Martin case had been given to the jury, the case of the state against Daniel Brooks, charged with forgery, was called in the Superior Court. Col. Robert L. Colding appeared for the prosecution and Mr. Jacob G-azan appeared for Brooks. It was charged that Brooks had altered the figures on a certain paper of the National Biscuit Company. This charge was not sustained, in the minds of the jury, and a verdict of acquittal was ren dered. The most interesting part of the case was the battle between counsel over the admission of testimony. The points argued were the admission of a manifest varying from that attached to the indictment. Later the prosecu tion wished to admit the bottle of ink that it was alleged had been used by Brooks in making the forgery, and another legal battle ensued. BURNETT-CUNNINGHAM CASE TO SUPREME COURT. Defendant Not Satisfied With City Court JndKinent. In all probability the litigation be tween Mrs. M. V. Burnett and Mrs. I'. E. Cunningham will find its way to the Supreme Court. Mrs. Cunningham, through Mr. A. L. Alexander her attorney, has filed exceptions, pendente llte, to the judg ment rendered by Judge Norwood. The suit was instituted for the re covery of $1,083.50, evidenced by two notes. On Feb. 26 Judge Norwood passed an order sustaining the demur rer to the pleas and answers of Mrs. Cunningham, and directed that unless the pleadings were amended that judg ment be entered up in favor of Mrs. Burnett. It is to this'order that the exceptions are taken by Mrs. Cunningham. police"willsoon REGULARLY PRACTICE On New I'lstnl Hange That lfaa Been Built at Police Headquarter*. No definite plans for practice on the new police pistol range have yet been announced by the superintendent, but arrangements will be made within a few days to have the patrolmen prac tice regularly. Yesterday a number of the officers shot on the range, but there was no regularity about the practice. After a few days regular practice squads will probably be detailed twice a week, that all may have the benefit of the range. The men will be coached by experts. SNATCHED PURSE FROM LADY ON THE STREET. Another Case of Purse Snatching Reported to the Police. It was yesterday reported to the po lice that Miss Eugenie Stetter had a pocketbook snatched from her the night before by a white man at Hab ersham street and Park avenue. Miss Stetter resides at No. 208 Duffy street, west, and was on her way home at the time the purse was snatched from her hand. She called for help, but the man managed to make his es cape before any one arrived. The purse contained $lO in silver. UNCLE SAM WILL SELL FOUNDATION. The United States government has called for bids for the sale of the foundation of the old postofflce at York and Abercorn streets. The old stables and other property on this site will be included and will be sold to the highest bidder. The foundation is laid fourteen feet deep. There’s a inherence. Perhaps the word ‘’tonic’’ is more often abused ,ahd twisted from its original meaning that any other in the English tongue. It is ueed to characterize whatever temporarily spurs or excites the system without regard to its lasting benefits. A well known medical writer lately said: “A real tonic builds instead of booming, strengthens instead of excit ing; it feeds instead of frightening. A tonic, in the true sense, is a food, a nutrient. It must nourish." That' is why a malt tonic—Si true malt tonic—is ideal. It supplies not only the vitalizing effect, but the food, the up-building elements. A great many dark-colored beers are christened “malt tonics," but they lack the food elements and the reconstruc tive properties. Malt-Nutrlne, the product of Anheu ser-Busch Brewing Association, St. Louis, is a tonic that is rich in nutri ment. and a builder-up. It is especially valuable to con valescents, nursing mothers and those who have need of an effective tonic that will be retained by the most deli cate stomach. Its acceptance and use in the prac tice of America’s most eminent and successful physicians, and the great and continued demand for it at drug gists’ and grocers’, by whom it is sold the country over, proves conclusively its merit and popularity.

JUDGE M’ALPIN-AS ST. PETER AIDED M ETERI ALLY IN GETTING LUNATIC BEHIND THE BARS. Was Smashing Furniture and Break ing Windows (n Her Hume When Arrested—Was Told That She Would be Taken to Heaven, the Place for Which She Said She Was So StrenuouMly Preparing—Char lot-ride to the Jail Completed the Proceedings—Entered Celt to “Purge Her Sln.” Believing that she was an route to heaven. Elsie Bostick, colored, was yesterday escorted from her home in West Savannah to the Ordinary's Court and thence to* the county jail. Her incarceration In jail was car ried out on the same scheme, and all the details of arraignment in the world to come were in the comedy. The woman was constantly applying the names of the departed saints to the officials of the Court of Ordinary, and for a time the interest in the proceedings was at fever heat. The first hint that there was some thing doing came with a telephone message that the woman was smash ing the windows and breaking up the furniture in her home at West Savan nah. Officers were at once sent to the scene of the trouble to make inquiry and stop the wholesale destruction. Mid the sound of breaking glass and the cracking of the furniture, they en tered the woman’s home and demand ed an answer to the query regarding the cause of her action. In response came the answer that she had been called to heaven and must get there as soon as possible. Taking their cue from this the offi cers announced that they were special escorts from the celestial regions, and that they would carry her to the place for which she was so strenuously pre paring. This contented the woman, and without an instant's hesitation she prepared for the journey. Was Pleased With “Heaven.” 1 When the imposing front of the Court House dawned on the woman's sight, the iron gates before it standing just ajar, she burst into transports of de light, believing that she had at last reached the place of her desires. “Heaven shoh is beau’ful,” she ex claimed. "an' how clean hit am.” Hurriedly she was escorted within the gates and to the Court of Ordinary. There the real interest began. Judge Henry McAlpin and Clerk Joseph Mo lina were both in the office, but with out a moment's hesitation the woman went straight to the judge and saluted him as the eminent personage to whom it has been given “to bind and to loose.” “St. Peter" was ‘‘there with the goods," and comprehending the situa tion at once, he asked the woman if she had purged herself of her sins. When she answered in the negative, he told her that that was one of the nec essary conditions of entrance. Chariot Ride Was Thrown In. The woman agreed to the purging, whereupon Judge McAlpin informed her that ‘a chariot ride was necessary to make the apotheosis complete. This suited the candidate for celestial hon ors. Minute instructions were then given as follows: "Now, Elsie, you must go out and get in the chariot,” said Judge Mc- Alpin, "and that will drive you to the inner gates. When you get there you must enter not only the first door, but the second also. Then you will come to the bars. You must pass these and within that room purge yourself. The rest will come afterwards.” The woman thanked "St. Peter” for his minute instruction, and at once entered the carrtage-”chariot,” and was driven to the Jail and locked up. She will be given her trial Wednesday. It is supposed that the trial stands for "the rest" that is to "come after wards.” On the same day the woman who is charged wiiii burning- a small boy to death will face Judge McAlpin. The woman is held on a lunacy charge, though the mother of the boy who was burned claims that she can prove the woman did the burning for pure spite. i WITNESSES DISAGREED AND WANTED TO FIGHT.

Labb and Mr. W. M. Bohan spent the greater part of yes terday at Tybee taking an inventory of the property of the Bohan’s pa vilion for the purchase of which Mr. Labb is now conducting negotiations. He believes these will be successful, In fact, states that the papers con cluding the bargain will be signed to day, and that he expects to take pos session of the property Monday. Mr. Labb says that he represents himself, not a company, in the deal, and that it is his intention to estab lish at the Bohan pavilion a number of the same class of amusements that have recently been inaugurated at the Thunderbolt Casino by the Thunder bolt Amusement Company. He will get to work on the plans at once, so that both the restaurant, pavilion and the amusements will be ready for the patronage of the public May 15. Though the complete list of the amusements that were planned for Thunderbolt are not quite ready, owing to the delay in receiving cer tain of the materials, two of them are open, the toboggan slide and the laugh ing gallery, and these are receiving a liberal patronage from visitors to the resort. Mr. Labb believes it requires but a spell of warm weather to make the attendance at the park as large as he can handle with his present out fit. PUBLIC EXHIBITION OF NEW FIRE ENGINE. Mayor Myers Was Delighted Witll Outcome of the Test. There was a public exhibition yes terday morning of the new LaFrance fire engine at Bay and Jefferson streets. Several hundred people gath ered to watch the display of the power of the big engine, and the test proved entirely satisfactory. Mayor Myers, who was pres ent, was pleased with the show ing made. The engine appeared to be all that could be desired, the Mayor stated, so far. as he could see. All of those who witnessed the test appeared to be impressed with its power. ' An inch and a quarter nozzle was first tried. Two streams were siam esed into one and sent through this nozzle. The stream was first thrown laterally and then vertically. On both of these tests a fine showing was made. The stream was thrown as high as any of the buildings in the neighbor hood and was thrown on a level for a great distance. Later an inch and three-quarter nozzle was substituted for the smaller one, and the test prov ed equally as satisfactory. PATROLMAN HARRISON HAD NARROW ESCAPE.

SPECIAL POLICE FOR CITY PARKS SWORN IN BY MAYOR MYERS. PARKS, SQ( ARBS AND CEMETER IES ARE TO BE PROTECTED FROM FLOWER THIEVES. Under an Ordinance Passed at Last Session of Council, Mayor Myers Yestcrdny Swore In Several Spec ial Officer. Who Will Watch the Park., Squnres and Cemeterie.. Keeper of l.atirel Grove and Sec retary to the Park and Tree Com ■nl.Kion Are Now Special Officer.. To break up the stealing of flow ers, Mayor Myers yesterday morning swore in a number of the employes of the Park and Tree Commission as special officers. The new officers were sworn in un der an ordinance passed at the last session of Council, which was the re sult of numerous complaints that flow ers were being stolen from cemeteries, parks and squares. The city officials are determined to break up the steal ing, no matter what the cost. The beauty of the parks and squares of the city was being impaired by reason of these petty thefts. The po lice department had been frequently appealed to, and a number of arrests had been made. But the police were unable to watch all of the parks and squares as closely as was desired. Special Ordinance Passed. It was therefore determined to cre ate a number of special officers for this purpose. To this end an ordi nance was introduced at the last ses sion of Council empowering the Mayor to appoint the keeper of Laurel Grove Cemetery and such employes of the Park and Tree Commission as he saw fit, special officers, that the parks and squares might be protected. The ordinance was drawn and pass ed because of the trouble that the keeper of Laurel Grove Cemetery had experienced with persons taking flow ers. He had been annoyed by ladies more than by any others, and was at a loss as to what course he should pursue. He has had a great deal of tufuble within the last few weeks with cases of this kind. Women Annoyed Keeper. In several instances, he has stopped women coming out of Laurel Grove Cemetery with flowers and asked them by what authority they were taking them. The women invariably replied that the flowers had been picked on their own lots. Asa matter of fact, it is against the city ordinances for one to puli flowers from his own lot, but Mr. Clements did not wish to be hard on any of the ladies, and refrained from making cases. Recently, however, the cases have become so numerous and aggravated, that he filed a complaint, which led to the passage of the special ordinance. Officers In Plain Clothes. Both Mr. Clements, the keeper of Laurel Grove, and Mr. Robertson, the secretary to the Park and Tree Com mission, have been constituted special officers by the Mayor under the new ordinance. In addition to these, sev eral of the employes of the Park and Tree Commission were sworn in by Mayor Myers. The person who plucks a flower in any of the parks or squares, does so now at his peril, for it is impossible to tell who is an officer and who is not, until the badge is shown. The parks and squares of Savannah are its pride, the one feature which distinguishes it. and makes It more at tractive than any other city in this section, and the city officials are de termined to protect them from petty thieves.

Cure of Blood Poisoning Wonderful to Relate. I was suffering for two years with the worst case of‘blood poison that I ever heard of, my legs were swollen double their normal size, so that I had to cut the shoes off my feet. I was unable to stand on them. Great rings and blotches would gather on my limbs full of blood and burst, so that I was in such misery that I could not eat or sleep for months. I can say with all truth and sincerity that I was cured of this terrible case of Wood poi soning by taking only two bottles of P. P. P. I am still continuing on same on account of wishing to drive out the least vestige of the disease in my body, but I feel so well now, caused by the action of the P. P.

I will be glad to show my leg to any parties afflicted like I -was, and also the scars that are left on my limbs. While my appetite was entirely gone and also sleep, I sleep and eat now like a horse. Truly, Lippman’s great remedy is wonderful, and my case proves it from beginning to end.

Cbnng Chang Object, to Statement, of Hu St Let. His character has been injured and his feelings damaged $5,000 worth, says Chung Chang in the complaint in a libel suit instituted by him in the Superior Court yesterday. This much he wants returned to him as a salve for his wounded feelings by one Hu Si Let. Mr. Simon Gazan is attorney for the libellant. Seven months ago, says Chung, the Tung Wahveen Hospital in New York asksd him to take up a subscription among the'Savannah Chinese. Chung collected $14.75 and forwarded it to the hospital authorities. Then it is that Hu Si Let began getting busy, according to the allega tions of the libellant. He wrote to Lee It Yu. one of the superintendents of the hospital, and said that Chung had in reality collected SSO, pocketing most of it. But Si Let didn’t stop with that, says Chung. He flourished his pen, and wrote other names at the bot tom of the letter, all supposedly testi fying that what Si said was true. The five whose names were signed claim that they did not authorize the signing, and, therefore, Chung's an ger is all the greater. The letter was circulated in New Y'ork, and as Chung has friends there it has humiliated him and injured his feelings fully $5,000 worth, he alleges. It has made him out a common cheat and swindler, whereas in reality, he claims, he is a respectable truck farmer. * Attached to the petition, is a copy of the letter circulated. The letter is written in Chinese script, and it is sup posed that it says what it is supposed to say. No one read it after it was filed, though some attempted to make it out by remembering laundry checks and their marks. HOW TO GET RICH. Lesson 1. Chapter '£• Life is filled with useless regrets.. You can't refiall the past, but you can learn wisdom from It, and do better in the future. One is never too old to mend his ways, especially in the matter of saving something for a rainy day. There are always April showers in life; little rain drops of trouble: they do no harm; the great storm usually comes after you are "gathered to your fath ers," and the hands that made the bread are at rest forever. Then the home that you provided will be a more enduring monument to your memory than "storied urn or animated bust.” The man who dying leaves a paid-for home in which his lqved ones have a shelter, (and a few thousand dollars in life insurance to keep the wolf away until the boys and girls are big enough to earn something), should have the little mound under which he rests kept covered with nature’s choicest flowers.
