--- MINE HORROR AGAIN Scene of Calamities This Time In British Columbia. HUNDRED MEN GO TO DEATH Through Carelessness Gases in Pit Were Ignited and Fearful Explo sion Follows—Victims All Foreigners. Advices from Vancouver, B. C. state that one of the most terrific mine disasters in the history of the frequent accidents in British Columbia occur in the Crows Nest Company's mines at Fernie, B. C. Over one hundred men are either dead or imprisoned in the mine, and little hope is entertained of the rescue of any who may yet be alive. Fernie is 300 miles up country, and the limited telegraph facilities have not enabled complete details of the disaster to be sent out. The management has a list of 133 men who are known to have been in the mine and there were probably others. Of these only twenty-four are known to be safe. Cause of Disaster Unknown. What caused the explosion has not yet been definitely ascertained. Many of the miners were ignorant foreigners, and one of the mine shafts was always more or less gaseous. It was generally reported in Fernie that the explosion resulted from the use by a careless Italian of an open or naked lamp. Another theory is that a miner struck a match, exploding the gas, which was always present in No. 2 shaft. Little Hope of Rescue. From all available sources assistance is being rushed to the scene of the calamity, but there is little hope for the rescue of the entombed men. Already the work of liberation has been begun with such means as are at local command. The presence of coal damp makes the work of rescue very dangerous and is seriously hindering the workers. In No. 2 tunnel, in which the first explosion occurred, from 100 to 120 men and boys are usually employed, and in No. 3 tunnel, to which the explosion extended, about eighty men generally work. In both mines there are many foreigners, and the difficulty of disciplining these men and impressing upon them the use of unprotected lights has always been very great. The explosion was distinctly heard in the village six miles away. A few minutes later the alarming intelligence land spread like wild fire from house to house, and quickly the whole population was on the streets and hurrying toward the scene of the disaster. Nearly All Foreigners. A dispatch from Seattle, Wash., says: Fernie is a town in the eastern part of the province of British Columbia, on the Crows Nest Pass branch of the Canadian Pacific railroad. It lies in the center of a country very rich in coal deposits. The veins extend eastward into the neighboring territory of Alberta. The building of the railway four years ago was followed by the operation of the coal mines, which belonged to a company composed largely of Toronto capitalists. These are the coal fields that J. J. Hill was reported to have gained control of a year or so ago. Fernie's only industry is mining and its population is about 5000. Most of the miners were foreign born. OPPOSED TO ALL KINGS. Representative Stephens Objects to Statue of Frederick the Great. Representative Stephens, of Texas, introduced a resolution in the house Friday that is directly aimed at the tender of a monument of Frederick the Great to the United States. It sets forth that the United States should not accept from any foreign union or erect in any public place any statue of any king, emperor, prince or potentate who has ruled or is now ruling any nation by the supposed divine right of kings. ORDER OF DEACONESS CREATED. Most advanced and Radical Step Taken by the Methodist Church. A Dallas, Texas, dispatch says: Another important step in the affairs of the Methodist Episcopal church, south, was taken at Saturday's session of the general conference when the order of deaconess was created. After one of the most interesting debates since the conference began the legislation necessary to establish the order was passed by the decisive vote of 130 to 38. This is said by church authorities to be the most advanced and radical step ever taken in the church policy and discipline. GAYNOR AND GREENE ANSWER. Attorney of Fugitives Says His Clients Were Illegally Arrested. A special from Quebec says: L. A. Taschercau, counsel for Colonel Gaynor and Captain Greene, has filed his answer to Detective Carpenter's affidavit produced in the supreme court last week. Besides denying the allegations of the affidavit in general, counsel for the accused denies that Carpenter was a dominion or provincial police officer, and says he had no authority whatever to serve the warrant issued by Magistrate La Fontaine; that the warrant was illegal; that Carpenter had arrested the accused in an illegal manner and had carried them away by force to Montreal on board a steamer illegally leased for that purpose, and after having deceived the petitioners. After taking the petitioners from Quebec, he declared, Carpenter always had them in his charge and responsibility, and that the parties mentioned in his (Carpenter's) answer to the motions for his imprisonment were employes of the latter; that, moreover, they prevented the petitioners from having access to their counsel pursuant to a plot concerted by Carpenter and other persons. ASSISTING THE ENEMY. How Anti-Trust Manager Worked Brilliant Scheme Against Opponents. Brilliant Selling Against Opponents. The light being made against the ice trust at New Orleans has developed an extraordinary turn. The trust has some opposition, among which is the ice plant at Talbodeaux, a small town near by, which has been shipping ice to the city and selling it at $4 per ton, whereas the trust sells ice there at $6 per ton. The trust concluded to run the Thibodeaux plant out of business and has been shipping ice to Thibodeaux and selling it there delivered at 10c per hundred, or $2 per ton. It now develops that Manager Claudet, of the Thibodeaux ice plant, has been quietly buying up all the trust's product at Thibodeaux at $2 per ton and re-shipping it back to New Orleans and sealing it again on the trust's own territory at $4 per ton, twice what the trust is getting for its product in Thibodeaux and $2 per ton less than the trust gets its ice in New Orleans. MINISTER SQUIRES RECEIVED. With Great Corollary. Herbert G. Squires, the first minister of the United States to Cuba, was formally received by the Cuban government Tuesday afternoon. Mr. Squires presented his credentials to President Palma and then made a short address, in which he conveyed the compliments of President Roosevelt to President Palma. Replying to Mr. Squires, President Palma said: "I am faithfully interpreting the sentiments of the people of Cuba when I assure your illustrious president, through you, that our most ardent desires are for the happiness and prosperity of the American people and their worthy president." Mr. Squires is the first minister to present his credentials to the Cuban government; and he will be the dean of the diplomatic corps in Havana. RIVER AND HARBOR BILL. Agreement Reached by Conferences of the House and Senate. The conferees of the two houses of congress on the river and harbor bill reached a final agreement on that bill Tuesday. The exact figures showing the aggregate result of their work have not been determined, but it can be stated that of the $9,500,000 appropriation added by the senate only about $4,500,000 was retained, the provisions calling for the remaining $5,000,000 being disagreed to by the house conferees. As the bill will be reported, it makes a total appropriation of about $65,000,000 in direct appropriations and for work authorized. Some of the senate amendments which were retained are the following: which were retained are the following: Inland waterways, Charleston, S. C., $50,000; Biscayne bay, Florida, $300,000; James river, Virginia, $300,000; Cape Fear river, North Carolina, above Wilmington, $50,000, instead of $150,000; Ashley river, South Carolina, $25,000. NO LIQUOR IN CAPITOL. Its Sale in Building Barred by Big Majority of House Members. The house Tuesday passed the Shattuc immigration bill. The feature was a, lively debate upon the question of prohibiting the sale of intoxicating liquors at immigrant stations, which was carried by a vote of 83 to 18. Having won this victory for temperance, Mr. Landis followed it up with an amendment to prohibit the sale of intoxicants in the capitol, and it prevailed by a still larger majority, 108 to 19. SAVANNAH. GA.. SATURDAY. MAY 31, 1902 TO STOP LYNCHING Is Import of a Resolution Introduced in Senate by Gallinger. SAYS THERE MUST BE REMEDY New Hampshire Man Declares Crime Is More Horrible Than the Spanish Inquisition—Resolution A Washington special says: Booth after the senate convened Molliday, MF. Gallingen of New Hampshire, offered a resolution providing that the judiciary committee of the senate should make an investigation into the subject of lynching in the United States with a view of ascertaining whether there is any remedy for them. Mr. Gallinger said he introduced the Resolution in full view of the fact that he might be charged with precipitating a sectional controversy, though nothing was further from his thoughts. He said lynchings were not confined to the south. Horrible cases had occurred in the north and white men as well as black had been the victims. Throughout the country intense interest was manifested in the subject. He thought it imperative that the judiciary committee should take some action upon the subject. During the past ten years | 2,658 lythchings had occurred in the United States. Of these 121 had occurred in the south and 14 in the north, the remainder in other parts of the country. If the strong arm of the law could reach out to prevent such occurrences, he deemed it desirable that it do so. He read the Associated Press account of the burning of a negro in Texas a few days ago. He said history did not furnish a more fluentish instance of mob wrath, and Fox's Book of Martys was tame in corpilation. The whole wretched business, he said, was a disgrace to American manhood and in the light of which the alleged atrocities in the Philippines pailed into insignificance. The Spanish inquisition did not furnish a case exceeding that one in inhumanity. He apprehended that it would be said that the Federal government was powerless and that the states had exclusive jurisdiction. If so, the American people desired to know it. Public sentiment should be aroused to prevent such inhuman atrocities. Mr. Culberson, of Texas, presented and had read an account of a lynching in Kansas, saying that he wanted it shown that the crime of lynching was confined to no state or section. He said he hoped the New Hampshire senator would not single out his state when he wanted to bring such cases before the senate. After remarks by Mr. Hoar upon the constitutional feature of the case, the resolution went over. The Philippine bill was then taken up, and Mr. Patterson, of Colorado, made a speech in opposition to it. In beginning, Mr. Patterson read extracts from a report of a ministers' meeting held recently in Boston in the course of which the minister stated that the American flag had been disgraced in the Philippines by the commission of tragedies and horrors in the island, although no special attack was made upon the president and secretary of war. Mr. Patterson referred to the editors from the Denver News, which Mr. Foraker had read in the course of his speech. These editorials strongly urged the retention of the Philippine islands and advocated the government's policy as to the islands. Mr. Patterson, said he, was responsible for the utterances of the Denver News then and now. He said he was a type of hundreds of thousands of American people who had held views similar to those expressed in the Denver News editorials and subsequently had changed those views. Mr. Patterson declared that after the capture of Manila, "a censored press, deliberately guided by the powers in Washington, had misrepresented the situation in the Philippines." PRESIDENT UNVEILS SHAFT. Monument to Heroes of Spanish-American War is Dedicated. Wednesday President Roosevelt unveiled the memorial shaft erected at Arlington cemetery by the National Society of Colonial Dames in memory of the veterans who fell in the recent struggle between Spain and the United States. Around the platform an immense crowd gathered, among whom were many men who saw, service in Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines. After brief services the shaft was unveiled and President Roosevelt made an appropriate address. Tribune. JEALOUS LOVER SLAYS GIRL. In House of Worship Young Man Draws Pistol and Ends Life of Unreciprocative Sweetheart. A startling tragedy was enacted Sunday morning in Wesley chapel, the little Methodist church at Ben Hill, In Fulton county, Ga. The doxology had hardly been concluded when the departing congregation was startled by two pistol shops and the dying shriek of a young woman. The quiet little house of worship was suddenly made the scene of an awful tragedy—the fruit of the morbid passion of a young man for a young woman who had resisted his every advents. Miss Lilia Suttles was slit to death by Milliard Lee, the ball from his pistol pliering her heart: Crying, "O, papa," she fell into the arms of her father, Dr. J. M. Suttles, who had rushed up at the sound of the pistol shots. The young woman died without speaking agalii. The church was crowded at the time and the greatest confusion ensued. It was some minutes before the people realized what had happened. Before the awfulness of the crime dawned upon them Lee had walked from the church building. At the door he was caught by Earl Suttles, the young brother of the girl he had slain. Young Suttles caught hold of Lee and attempted to hold him, but Lee placed his pistol against the boy's breast and told him that he would shoot him if he did not release him. Young Suttles, in desperation, yielded his hold and Lee took to flight. While talking to her girl friends Miss Suttles became separated for the moment from her escort. Millard Lee walked up to the group of which she was the center and, touching her on the arm, asked to speak to her a moment. She stepped to one side and he asked her if he could drive her home. "No," she replied, "I have company." Lee was heard to mutter, "If you won't let me take you home I shall shoot you." Before any one was aware of his intentions, he pulled his pistol and fired at Miss Suttles. The ball struck just above her left hip, but glanced on a corset steel: Miss Suttles screamed and ran toward her father, who was up at the chancel speaking to the preacher. As she rau from him, Lee deliberately fired at her again. The ball entered her back just between her shoulder blades and about an inch and a half from the spline. It passed directly through her heart and came but between the fifth and sixth ribs about an inch to the left of the breast bone. The ball did not pass entirely through her body, but protruded from the flesh. Dr. Suttles ran to his daughter at the sound of her agonizing scream. He reached her just in time to catch her as she fell. She recognized him and screamed, "O, papa," but died before he could lower her to the floor. TORNADO IN PALMETTO STATE. Four Lives are Taken and Great Property Damage Done. Union, South Carolina, was visited Sunday afternoon at 4 o'clock by a terrible tornado. It played havoc, four deaths and considerable loss of property being the result. The storm traveled with great speed and people barely had time to get indoors before the storm struck the town. Knitting Mill hill, south of the town, caught the full force of the tornado, which blew down the school house and two residences, converting them literally into kindling wood. The occupants flew from one of the houses before it went to pieces and took refuge in another near by, but this house was also crushed to splinters and Misses Salle Hart and Annie Lawson were instantly killed. Mrs. Maxey Sims died in an hour, and her little daughter, Vera, died about 9 o'clock Sunday night. AUGUSTA LOCKOUT ENDED. All Cotton Mills in District Begin Operations Again. All of the cotton manufactories in what is known as the Augusta, Ga. district went into operation Monday morning. RUSSELL A CHOLERA VICTIM. Dread Scourge Has Strong Foothold in Manila and Provinces. Captain Charles E. Russell, of the Eighth infantry, is dead at Manila. He was the first officer to dig of cholera. Up to the present in Manila there have been twenty-five cases of cholera and twenty deaths among the Americans and thirteen cases and ten deaths among the European population. The cholera totals to date are as follows; Manila, 1,165 cases and 935 deaths; provinces, 5,001 cases and 2,578 deaths. PALMA'S MESSAGE MUST FULFILL ALL OBLIQUATIONS Recilprocity is Discussed and New Republic is Urged to Foster Education—Grateful to United President Palma's message was published in Havana Tuesday night, and was delivered to the Cuban senate Wednesday: The message opens by giving thanks to the Almighty for His assistance in carrying out the work of obtaining Cuban independence, and asks divine aid in the establishment of a firm and stable government. "Never did a people fight with more perseverance," says the message, "and sacrifice more for liberty than have the Cubans. No people, therefore, are more entitled to see their just efforts crowned with success. Together with our own heroism is the attitude of the great people who were impelled by their own love of liberty to put themselves on our side in our tenacious fight for the independence of the country. Their motive was one of generous sentiment, pure and disinterested in origin. Impelled by this sentiment, the powerful republic of the north recognizes, through its illustrious president, the republic of Cuba. The promise formally made has been carried out. In this moment, when we feel right as an independent nation, it is impossible to suppress our gratitude to the United States. To recognize this debt of gratitude to the great nation is an act which exalts us and which makes us more worthy of the consideration and respect of the nations of the world. "It is necessary now to dictate' all the laws laid down in the constitution. We are capable of fulfilling all the obligations and compromises which have been contracted, and we should prepare the budget with the greatest care." President Palma recommends the encouragement of the agricultural industries of the island, the raising of cattle, the establishment of agricultural stations to improve the culture of sugar cane and tobacco, and the introduction of varied agricultural industries. "While the question of reciprocity is still pending," the message goes, "it is impossible to state now what measures should be adopted to meet the pending crisis. This crisis is due to the ruinous price of sugar caused by excess in production of beet sugar in Europe. An immediate remedy would be the reduction of the American tariff on sugar, to obtain which the executive will at once devote his efforts, and will negotiate a treaty in order to obtain benefits for the Cuban sugar producers. "We recognize that during the American intervention the sanitary conditions of the island were greatly improved, but it is necessary to continue this work and make these improved conditions permanent." President Palma declares it is the purpose of the government to devote its attention to education, and especially to primary schools. He says the government of intervention deserves great credit for the educational system it established, but there is a need for still more schools, as the future of the republic depends upon education. It will be the duty of the government to encourage the construction of railroads in the island. The executive says he realizes the obligation which the government contracted with the Cuban army, and that if means are not now taken to make good this obligation, it is because of the bad economic situation of the country. President Palma says he does not yet know how the ordinary expenses of administration are to be met. "It is very satisfactory to us," says the president, "that the republic of Cuba has been officially recognized by the United-States, Great Britain, France, Mexico, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Santo Domingo, Ecuador and Paraguay, and we hope that other countries will also recognize our republic. We must cultivate cordial relations with all nations and make treaties of amnesty and commerce favorable to Cuba. We must also take especial care that the relations between Cuba and the United States be most friendly, in order that there be no difficulty in arranging the political and commercial questions which affect both countries. "It is also of extreme importance that there should exist uninterrupted concord between all the people of Cuba, and that they should resolve to preserve the Cuban nationality." NO 34. THEY'RE ALL FOR MARK HANNA. Launching of Mark's Presidential Boom the Feature of Ohio Republican State Convention. The Ohio state republican convention was opened at Cleveland Tuesday afternoon. The armory, which has 8,000 chairs, was well filled when Hon. P. W. Durr, of Cincinnati, chairman of the state central committee, called the convention to order. The leaders, notably Mr. Hanna, Governor Nash, General Grosvenor and visiting congressmen were cheered as they entered the armory. Prayer was offered by Rev. John S. Rutledge, of the Glenville Methodist church. Chairman Durr announced that the state committee had selected the following temporary officers for the convention: Chairman, Governor George K. Nash; secretary, John R. Malloy, Columbus; sergeant at arms, William F. Gaza, Cincinnati. Governor Nash was tendered an ovation on being introduced, and spoke in part as follows: "I congratulate you that the national republican party controls the destinies of this great republic. In the dark and gloomy days of 1896 it made promises full of brilliant hope for the nation. The people trusted and we have entered upon a career unparalleled in the history of the world. "I congratulate you that in the person of Theodore Roosevelt we have a president from whose lips fell the solemn pledge to pursue, without variation and untarnished, the great and beneficial policies of William McKinley. One week ago today the flag of free Cuba, a new republic, was unfurled, floating over an independent nation. "I congratulate you that thus has been redeemed a republican pledge, given by a powerful nation to a weak and nearly exhausted people. "I congratulate you that our flag still waves in the Philippine islands. There it will remain, a signal of hope and law and order for their people. Our enemies may hurl their calumnies upon our soldiers and sailors, and their anthems upon honored representatives of our government, but they cannot dim the glory of our flag nor retard the day when the blessings of our free institutions will be enjoyed by that people." The twenty-one congressional districts were called at the conclusion of Governor Nash's speech and the selections made at the district meetings were announced for members of the new state committee, vice presidents and assistant secretaries of the convention, and the usual committees. Adjourned to 10 a.m. Wednesday. A feature of the day was a reception by the ladies of Cleveland to the visiting ladies, with Mrs. M. A. Hanna heading one receiving line, while Mrs. T. L. Johnson, wife of the mayor, and other prominent ladies, heading additional lines. One of the most important conferences was held by Senator Hanna and George B. Cox, of Cincinnati, and it continued such a length of time that quite a crowd was kept in waiting outside of Senator Hanna's office. The senator left his quarters in the Hollanden for the seclusion of his business office. There is much talk in the open field for Hanna for president two years hence; as well as for re-election as senator by the legislature that is to be chosen next year. There is no opposition expressed to President Roosevelt. Those who are talking about the delegation to the next national convention say they do not want an anti-Roosevelt delegation, but one that would not be anti-Hanna in the event of President Roosevelt not being nominated. Slayer of Miss Suttles is Indicted by the Fulton County Grand Jury. The grand jury of Fullon county, at Atlanta Tuesday morning, returned thirty six true bills, among the true bills being Indictments against Millard线, who on Sunday last shot and killed his sweetheart, Miss Lilla May Suttles, and against the negro Henry King, charged with the death of Ed Battle, killed during the Pittsburg riots. FORTY-NINE BODIES FOUND. Latest News of Fernie Dieaster Eighty Unfortunates Still Missing. Two dispatches from Fernie were received at Victoria, B. C., Sunday night In one A. Dick, Inspector, of mines, says: "All bodies, in three mine and high lying positions of No. 2 (49) recovered. Afr. turned into west division where other bodies arc." Mr. Armstrong, the government agent, says: "Forty other bodies ro covered; eighty still missing; twenty four escaped alive; no fire in mine." Our white neighbors very justly resents every insult that is cast upon the women of their race. In this we commend them. This much they should also allow us, but which was denied in Atlanta, two weeks ago, if reports of the newspapers are correct: A colored man had occasion to speak to a white man about his intimacy with a Negro woman, an act that no white man who claims superiority to the Negro should be guilty of. This white man resented it and the outcome was the unfortunate affair that occurred in the locality in Atlanta called Pittburg. For resenting the intimacy of a white man with a Negro woman, this colored man was hunted down like a desperado and cremated in his home. Another event took place in Atlanta a week afterward that should put every one to thinking: A Negro boy was accused of robbery from a store. It is alleged that he ran with the goods under his arms; while he did not attempt the life of any one, yet a clerk, a white man in the store cowardly shot him to death. This white man was found not guilty. What's the use commenting on it. A few days before this occurrence a policeman was remanded for firing his pistol in the street at a fleeing burglar and was told not to do so unless life was in danger; yet this white man did it, killed his man and was acquitted. Food For Thought. The following timely article was taken from the Atlanta Age: In dealing with a riot where public opinion clashes the newspaper man, to serve the community and law and order, has to be conservative. Last Saturday morning white and colored people sorrowed at the loss of life because of a conflict between citizens and officers. It seems that ex-Policeman Kerlin was cohabiting with Josie Smith, a colored woman. Richardson, hearing of it, took a couple of friends and reprimanded the ex-policeman whereupon the authorities were called upon to arrest the "desperado" for chastising a white man for sleeping with a Negro woman. The sheriff carried out a posse consisting of the city police. Richardson had a regular arsenal in his house, and before he could be overcome he killed four officers and wounded as many more. One of Richardson's associates came out and was captured and was made to fire the house. Richardson escaped from his house to his barn, where he continued business as at the old stand. The barn was burned, and with it Richardson was burnt. The incident is to be regretted; it does neither race any good. The Negro outlaws hurt the Negro race, while the white hoodlums who attacked innocent colored people hurt the law-abiding white race. The law-abiding members of both races have got to get closer together and join each other in creating a healthy public sentiment. It was a shame that our best officers should be shot down as they were, and a shame that a class of hoodlums should rob the premises of Negro people simply because they had the power. Let us all get together for good government. Pull down the wall of prejudice between us and then we can work together. The present system of allowing white men to live in adultery with Negro women is a disgrace to the boasted civilization of the white man of this section. A decent Negro woman can't get accommodations on a street car or a railroad car, and yet the daily papers wink at Negro women being kept by white men who are officers of the law. The daily papers of Atlanta have not even published the story. They leave it for the Macon Telegraph and Northern newspapers to tell the story. It is a shame upon Atlanta to tell of the "desperado" in the way it has been told. While he should have given up and told why he had assaulted the man, Kerlin, for insisting to live with one of his race, yet there is no excuse for taking our city policemen outside of the city limits to be shot down. There is no excuse for the Sheriff permitting hoodlums to rob the ruins of Richardson's home of the metallic currency that remained among the ashes. The State, county and city authorities should hang their heads in shame. Success Club Notes. Mortor: "DON'T WAIT FOR YOUR OPPORTUNITY; MAKE IT." Every phase of the club's future looks bright and promising and many incidents have occurred affirms the assertion that the Booker T. Washington' Success Club branch No. 701, will be permanent and published in this city. Our charisma has arrived and we are now recognized by the League of Success Club which has more than seven hundred branches throughout the United States that are laboring to prepare young men and women for higher walks in life. Strange to say but of this great number there are but few colored clubs in the League. We feel quite sure that if we can get the cooperation of the many good citizens who cares for the salvation of young men and women, and desire to see them climb the ladder of fame, and if possible reach the apex of life. The question of appointing the club's Council will come up at our next meeting. Then duty will be to act as an advisory board for the club. Since our last meeting our rooms have been comfortably seated and many beautiful additions have been made. Charity's Appeal. Editor TRIDURE: Please permit me space for a few words concerning The Charity Hospital. This Hospital as all of the good citizens of Savannah know is located at the corner of Florence and 36th streets. It has connected with it a Nurse Training Department at which the young women of our race may acquire accurate and definite knowledge of the sick room, how to treat the sick, to bind up and care for the injured, what and how to do in cases of emergency and to better generally, the health conditions of the colored people of Chatham County. It has a first-class Hospital Department attached, which is under the direct supervision of the colored physicians of Savannah. Dr. T. James Davis is the chairman of the Board of physicians and ex-officio Superintendent of the Hospital. A number of the leading white physicians of the city are interested in the institution and a large number of them has practice there and think most kindly of the institution. The Hospital is free and open to all reputable physicians of the city whether they be white or colored. The Hospital is now doing most acceptable work, is filling a long feat want, and is growing more and more into the good will and sympathy of the people each day but in spite of this the Hospital is surely in great need. It has no endowment, absolutely none. At the beginning of tbf year, since January the city of Savannah has kindly given $25.00 per month for the purpose of somewhat caring for some of the sick and afflicted of the city. This is all the aid absolutely that comes to the institution except what comes from good friends, churches and our good friends among the whites to whom we of the Hospital are most grateful. Thus it must be seen that while the name of the institution is The Charity Hospital, and while it is charitable in its every fibre it cannot for the good of the institution and the poor people who will be benefited thereby, be altogether free. There must be some small charges attached, absolutely no profits or adequate pay for physician or nurse simply expense, this is all and every one that comes to the Hospital is treated; no one will or shall be turned away but it is expected that every single one that can will pay expenses at least. This is all the charge that is made. Then it must be seen that the friends of the institution must come to its rescue. Those who have given must give again, those who have not, must give something. We especially appeal to the rich, A. L. Tucker. First A. B. Church. Dr. Carr was in Macon, last Sunday assisting Dr. W. G. Johnson in the sixty-seventh anniversary of his church. On the 29th, Dr. Carr attended the commencement of the Central City College, and delivered an address subject "Educated Womanhood our Hope." The doctor returned home this week. Rev. J. C. Bryan preached during the day last Sunday, his sermons were very interesting and instructive. The work on the main auditorium of the church is being done very fast, the ceiling of the church is about completed, and is said to be the prettiest in the city. Information has been received from the Cincinnati Seating Company that the new pews will be shipped the last of next month. To-morrow the Sunday School will meet at 10 a. m. Dr. Carr will preach at 11 a. m. Communion at 3 p. m. Dr. Carr will preach a special sermon to the E. K. Love Benefolent Society at 8 p. m. You are invited to attend these services. St. Phillips Church Dots. Notwithstanding the hot weather on last Sunday morning there was a large congregation present. At the 11 a m service Rev. J. T. Smith, pastor of the 38th St. A. M. E. Church preached an interesting sermon. His text was Rom. 1:15, subject "His theme was Judaism and Christianity". His discourse was very interesting as usual. At 8 p m Rev. Cargile preached the baccalaureate sermon to the students of the Beach Institute. The church was crowded to its capacity. Rev. Cargile received many congratulations after the service. Rev. Maddox also made a few timely remarks along the line of education. The regular monthly love-feast was held on Friday night. Sunday is communion day. Services will be held as follows: Prayer-meeting at 5:30 a m; preaching at 11 a m; Holy sacrament will be administered at 3 p m; preaching at 8 p m, at which time the Golden Reapers Society will be present; Sunday School at 2:30 p m. Prof. Baldwin desires to have out a full attendance. The final rally, for paying for our church, and, parsonage will take place on the second Sunday in July. Our friend are called upon once more to help us make a grand, pull so as to liquidate this debt as we have about $500 more to raise. We appeal to our friends to assist us in this rally. The members of St. Philips return thanks to their friends and the public for what they have done in the past. Second Baptist Church. Services were well attended all day Sunday at Second Baptist church Dr. Durham, the pastor preached two very impressive and interesting sermons. At 11 a.m. m. he preached from Acts 13:44, subject 'Right motives for attending church'. and at 8:30 p. m. from Psalms 14:12, "The model Young woman." This was the second in a series of four sermons which the doctor is delivering on Sunday nights and was well received by a large and appreciative audience. The subject on to-morrow night will be "The model mother". The members are bestirring themselves and contributing liberally for the purpose of renovating and putting a new dress on this church edifica. Bolton Street, Church. On last Sunday at 11 o'clock A.M. M. Rev. J. M. Jones preached a very fine sermon. At night Rev. Williamson's subject was "The test of opinion." On tomorrow morning Rev. Williamson preaches on "The value of spiritual knowledge." Communion will be administered at 3:30 p. m., Sunday school at 2:15 p. m., B. Y. P. U. at 4:30 p. m. Rev. Williamson will preach at night from the subject "A Hasty Prayer, for Divine Aid." The public is invited to each service. Rev. Williamson in his sermon, "Dry Bones," on Sunday night a week ago, in setting forth his subject, sought to show that since a valley is land lying between two bills or mountains; Ezekiel saw no such place full of human bones; as is generally thought. Ezekiel was in the spirit and his object for using the words of the text, was to revive the dead hope, and strengthen the weak faith of the Israelites who were at that time slaves to the Chaldeans away down in Babylon. They were discouraged, and saw no chance of ever getting back to Jerusalem. Hence this very encouraging prophecy. The reverend also spoke of dead Christians, whose bones were dry, and the folly of slumbering in the valley of discouragement, and the valley of indifference. He showed the necessity of standing on the mount of hope, regaled in brotherly ove, and listening to the "Word of the Lord," which always brings encouragement to a humble and faithful heart. He told the sinners that if they would hear the word, believe the word, and accept the word, their souls would be cleansed by the regenerating spirit of God, and they would have eternal life. Grand Master's Visit. Grand Master W. L. Hughes of the District Grand Lodge of Odd-Fellows of Georgia arrived in the city last Saturday. He was taken in charge by a committee, from the various lodges and shown the usual courtesies. On Monday night a mass meeting of Odd-Fellows was held at the Duffy street hall, where the Grand Master made an able address on the principles of the order and its workings in the state. Grand Master Hughes has shown himself fully capable of the high office he holds and is determined to place the grand lodge on a more solid basis. The Grand Lodge meets at Brunswick in August next at which time he will be undoubtedly re-elected to his present position. On Tuesday night he visited Armour Lodge and gave the members a short and spicy talk. At this meeting Prof. John McIntosh was elected to represent the lodge at the grand lodge meeting in August. President Young's work. The Florida State Normal and Industrial School, Mr. Nathan B. Young, President, is in a very large measure, fulfilling the purpose for which it was established, was demonstrated during its closing days, which began on Sunday last, lasted until Thursday. The faculty have endeavored to make all of the exercises interesting and of a high order. To this end extensive preparations were made. The services of some of the most prominent men of state were secured to take part in the exercises, and throughout the whole commencement week the friends of the school were given, not only a chance to look into the work as it is being carried on, but also some rare literary treats A class of eight young men and women graduated. Products from nine or more departments were on exhibit, and it is safe to that they were meritorious in every way. Although these departments are being carried on for the first time in our school, they have made much progress, as was shown by what the students have done. Pridgeon Notes. Rev. A. Laster and Mrs. Laster, visited here on Sunday. Rev. Laster preached two able sermons to a large congregation. Rev. W.

The outlooks for the meeting of the Grand Chapter of the Eastern Star in August are bright. Every chapter is expected to be fully represented. All back dues of whatever character must be settled at this Grand Communication. Several warrants will be arrested if this is not complied with. The officers of the Grand Lodge have been laboring hard to make the coming meeting a big success in every respect. Grand master Butler has been unfiring in this direction. He has done much for his craft during his term and proven himself fully capable of the high honors bestowed. Every officer in the subordinate Lodges should rally to his support and make the coming meeting successful. Every Lodge has been supplied with a call and blanks for returns. Have these returns made out plainly especially write the names of the members correct so that there will be no mistakes in printing the minutes. Grand Lodge Call. Atlanta Ga, May 1 1902.
