The question of appointments of the

general topic of discussion among the

who are holding exclusive meetings
each afternoon at the Walter* resi
dents on Union street.
It In known that two presiding elders
ami five pastors are now by statutory
limitation to be removed from their
former assignments and transferred to
other fields. Many change* In the ap
pointments of the paators for next year
hRve been suggested, but Just how
many of these will materialise will not
be known until the announcements of
the appointments are made by Blahop
Atkins at the close of the conference

that the Improvements made during the

better until the perfect show."

ANOTHER BURGLARY WHITE AND ELLIS
WILL TALK TO MEN
Thief Enters Home in Court-
land Street and Gets
Away.
While ransacking the home of B. M.
Arbuckle. of 284 Courtland street, a
well-known tailor, an unknown bur
glar Friday night became frightened at
the sudden appearance of Mr. and Mrs.
Arbuckle,and.leaped through a window,
leaving $200 or $800 worth of valuables
lying oh a dresser.
In making his hasty exit the bur
glar seized a 38-callber revolver and
this formed his only booty.' Lying be
side the pistol on the dresser was a
handsome gold rtatch, belonging to Mrs.
Arbuckle; a diamond stick pin, and, in
a little case, were a number of other
Jewels and valuables. It Is supposed
the marauder took.the pistol in prefer
ence to the jewels, thinking he might
have to defend himself.
Mr. and Mrs. Arbuckle had just re
turned from the Orpheum theater at
the time the burglar was discovered.
As they walked into the front door the
burglar Jumped through a window. He
had gone into the house by smashing
the glass in a front window.
The gnng of burglars now infesting
the city appears to have taken a rest
Friday night, the burglary of the Ar
buckle home being the only one re
ported to the police.
Thief Jennings deeply deplores the
epidemic of burglaries of Thursday-
night and says he Is using every possi
ble effort to stop fur^.'U operations by
the burglars. As has been expressed
by the officials on numerous occasions,
the police force is regarded as too
small, but the chief say* the men are
doing the best they can under the cir
cumstances to capture the criminals.
Much complaint lias been heard from
citizens that their homes are not prop
erly protected.
Both police and detectives are work
ing on the series of burglaries of
Thursday, but so far no further arrests
have been made.

More than $6,000 In aubscrlptlona to
stock In the new Maaonlc temple waa
raised at a fellowship meeting held in
the old Masonic hall Friday night, when
all new Masons Were given an oppor
tunity to aid In building the splendid
edifice which la now nearing comple
tion.
About 250 Masonn gathered at the
meeting. Grand Master Thomas Jef
fries,, Hon. James D. Mayaon And Cap-
tftln James W. English addressed the
new members. The funds raised were
for the most part subscribed by new
members of the Atlanta lodges.
J. K. Orr, a prominent Mason, stated
Saturday morning that the new Ma
sonic temple at the corner of Peachtree
and Cain streets had been paid for so
far, and with the aid of the new mem
bers there would be no doubt about Ita
early completion It Is expected that
the building will be ready for use by
May 1. At present the walls are up
and work has begun on the roof. The
Interior will be completed during the
winter.
mlaslonurlcM administered relief to the ex
tent of three-quarters of a million dollars.
It has been estimated, and the estimate Is
a conservative one, that by taking this
prompt action and administering to the
wnnts of these starving and dying people
a million lives were saved.
"It required white people to do *bls. The
Chinese stood about and did nothing. A
Chinaman can stand by and see a man die
without soy thought of taking steps to
prevent such things. After the famine
comes the famine fever, and during both
•legos this band of Houthern missionaries
was there giving relief and saving lives.
Too much credit ean not be given them.*’
Mr. Kills also called attention to another
Southerner who. after f9rty•y^nra.et mis
sionary and relief work, has seen go into
effect that for w hich* he has been, fighting
ever since he has been In China.
He Is Dr. If. C. Du Bose, of Soochow,
and Mr. Kills declares that tbs ban put ou
the opium trade and habit is due more to
the efforts of Dr. DuHosu than any other
one man.
"For forty years," said .Mr. Kills, "Dr.
Dtiltose haa been lighting this iniquitous
traffic and he has IlrM to see the end ac
complished. He deserres more credit than
any other one man."
