DEATH HEBE OF
BROTHER PFEIEER
Widely Known and Loved
Member of the Society of
Jesus Died at City Hospital
Sunday.
Brother John Pfeiler of the Society
of Jesus passed away at the city hos
pital at 10:30 a. m. on Sunday. His
death followed a painful and protract
ed period of Illness from which there
was little hope of recovery. He came
to Augusta from Macon, where he was
attached to St. Stanislaus College, to
he treated by Dr. W. W. Battey. He
underwent an operation during the
past week which it was hoped might
prolong his life.
Conscious to the last, Brother Pfeil
er died with a smile and a prayer on
his lips. Ijlttle hope had been held
out to him of his recovery, as he was
In too serious a condition to be helped
when brought from Macon, and at the
last he knew that he was dying.
The deceased was born In AVestpha
lia, German, in August, 1871, and was
In his 44th year. He had been a mem
ber of the Society of Jesus for about
twenty-one .tears. A man of profound
learning and great ability, Brother
Pfeiler was widely loved and revered
among the priesthood as well as by
the laity. His death will be an Ines
timable loss to his order.
The funeral exercises were held at
the Sacred Heart Church Monday
morning at 7 o’clock, when the body
was sent to Macon to be Interred. The
Rev. Father James I.onergan accom
panied the remains to Macon.
The deceased is survived by no rela
tives in this country.
ROBBERS BREAK GLASS AND
FILCH, JEWELER'S WINDOW
Prontaut’s Front Plate-Glass
Shattered Sunday Night Dur
ing Hard Rain and S2OO of
Watch-Cases Stolen.
When the front show window of
Prontaut’s Jewelry Store at 644 Broad
Street was broken inio Sunday night
at 8:30 o’clock and a tray of gold
watch cases stolen, perhaps the bold
est and most brazen robbery was com
mitted which has ever been recorded
in Augusta. The plate glass was
broken with a brick and the tray,
valued at about S2OO, was extracted
through the jagged hole. Another
tray of about the same value was dis
placed, as if the thief or thieves had
attempted to take it as well, but for
some reason it was left.
The deed was done in the open
street, which seems to have been en
tirely deserted at the time owing to
the torrents of rain. The broken plate
glass attracted the attention of a lady
and gentleman who passed soon af
terwards, and then reported the mat
ter to the policeman on the corner.
On investigation it came out that
two white men had been seen looking
In the window in the afternoon and
later hanging around that locality,
lurking across the street. But the
parties giving this information would
not be able to identify the pair.
—Mrs. J. T. Thomas and Miss Vir
ginia Thomas have returned from a
I pleasant visit with friends In Edge

“Red Life” at the
Modjeska Theatre
A program that is both absorbing In
amusement as well as interesting is
being presented today and evening at
the Modjeska theatre.
"His Responsibility,” a two-reel Re
liance simply captivates the attention
of the spectators, holding it from the
beginning of the play untii the end
ing.
There is a Keystone production also
on the program, "Fatty’s Wine Party."
One can slope back in their seat with
the assurance of getting a laugh a
second when this subject is being
shown. Fatty has some wine party,
the “Joy water” flowing rapidly starts
the fun.
"The Last Melody,” an Edison, keeps
the interest of all keyed up to the top
notch, as well as the other features.
A Sellg production explaining “Why
the Sheriff Is a Bachelor,” is the cli
max to the elaborate program as a
starter for this week.
The following is the outline of the
story embracing ”Hls Responsibility:"
Wallace, a young broker, rescues a
young heiress whom he later marries.
In order to support her in luxury In
which she is accustomed he goes in
for heavy speculation and loses. At
about the same time a friend who he
has trusted money for investment ab
sconded with the funds. Wallace Is
finally ruined. His wife is expecting
a baby and he is desperate. He thinks
of suicide as he carries a large policy
paid in advance. But he realizes that
suicide stops payment. So he hires a
notorious gunman “to kill a man” who
will wear a white hat and carry a
raincoat on passing a given point at
10:30 on a certain night. The thug
agrees, is paid, and the night appoint
ed lies in wait. He is pulled off by a
detective while taking aim, and Wal
lace passes and repasses the spot in
vain. Returning home the ex-hroker
finds a letter from his friend w T ho
ran off with his money, enclosing a
cheek for SIOO,OOO. Jones had struck
it rich in oil lands, and for conscience
reasserting itself had decided to make
Wallace his partner is one of the rich
est svells in Kansas.
