THE LAST WEEK OF LENT
PALM SUNDAY TO BE OBSERVED
BY THE CHURCHES TO-DAY.
Christ’s Triumphal Entry Into Jerusa
lem to Be Commemorated by the
Distribution ol Palms, Interesting
Services and Fine Music —The Sym
bolic Signification of the Palms.
To-day Ushers in the Solemn Passion
Period of the Catholic and Episcopal
Churches.
Palm Sunday, the anniversary of Christ’*
triumphal entry into Jeru-alom over 1.800
years ago, will be fittingly commemor
ated to-day la every Koinau Catholic,
Episoopal and Lutheran church in the
world. Reference will a:ao be made 10 the
significance of Palm Sunday from many of
the pulpits of other denominations which
hold to the great truths of Christianity,
and point morals from the life and works of
the Savior.
While the Catholic churches make by far
the greater feature of the day than aD V
other denomination having a ritualistic
service there has arisen a tcndoncy among
the latter, in recent years at least, to pay
more attention to the anniversary. This is
particularly true of the high oburch Episco
palians, who now almost without exception
use palms for the occasion in decorating their
sunotuaries and altars instead of the flowers
which were so largely utilized before.
THE CATHOLIC SP-BVICE.
As yet. however, tbe services of the day
with nigh churchmen stop short with the
decorations. In the Catholic churches a
special service is ordered for the day. The
passion of Christ, whiob is quite lengthy,
is read at ah the masses, and before tbe
high mass the celebrant blesses the palms
end distributes them among the congrega
tion. The clergy then walk in procession
through the church aud pass outside.
Cantors enter, leaving the others outside,
the hymn “Gloria las et honor” is sung by
those within and without, the subdeac u
knocks at the door with the shaft of the
processional cross and the whole body
march up the aisle to tbs altar, where tbe
mass is celebrated.
Real palms have always been used in the
south in tbe Palm Sunday services, but it
is only lii recent years that they have come
into use iu the north, east and west. Until
1876 the churches in those portions of the
country were compelled, through lack of
anythlug better, to use in the ceremony of
the day dry sprigs of hemlock, 6pruoe.
cedar, piue or other evergreen. The
change wus brought about by Thomas D.
Egan, the proprietor of the Catholic agency
iu Barclay street. New York, who now has
a practical monopoly of supplying the
churches with palms.
THE SOUTH FURNISHES THE PALMS.
He observed them iu use first in this ooun
trv in Charleston, 8. C., and at once con
cluded that if it was possible to secure them
in tbe south it w as equally possible to trans
port them north for use in the service com
memorative of the occasion when the Jew
ish multitude spread them in Christ’s path
or waved tuein m the air as he proceeded
toward Jerusalem.
Tbe variety of palm ÜBcd in the service is
obtained from the palmetto trees which
grow in greater or less abundance on the
sea islands ..if tbe coast of South Carolina
and Georgia, aud along the streams of both
slates aud Florida. While not identical
with those growing in Palestine, they are of
the same general variety aud are such os
are used at St. Peter’s at Rome, Notre
Dame iu Paris, and St. Stepnen’s in Vienna.
The palms used in these cathedrals are ob
tained at great expense from Asia Minor,
and are, iti consequence, seen only at high
ceremonials.
Savannah gets her supply of palms from
Tv bee.
SYMBOLIC SIGNIFICATION.
Everything connected with Catholic wor
ship has a symbolic as well as a real signifi
cation. The palm is held especially to sym
bolize the principal Christian virtues, but
more especially penitence, fortitude and
gentleness of peace.
The leaves symholize penitence, for they
are bitter in taste, sword-shaped and sharp
pointed as to smite, and incline toward tbe
trunk of the tree, which is meager and dry.
Penitence smites and humbles, destroys
the evil inclinations and reduces them to
ashes.
It is for this reason ttpt in Roman Catho
lic churohes the palms of the preoeding year
are burned aud the ashes collected 'and
placed as a sign of humiliation on the fore
heads of the worshipers on Ash Wednesday
to remind them Chat from earth they come
and to ashes they must return.
I'aim leaves never rot, and when they dry
preserve a very strong tissue, out of whiou
the anchorite of old used to weave baskets
and other objects. Hence the palm is held
to symbolize fortitude. Its fruit is sweet to
the taste, and so it represents the virtue and
the peace of a Christian life.
In addition to the beautiful leaves in their
natural state and those woven into various
delicate devices, the palms are used in a
variety of other forms, the most interesting
being Bible marks and representations of
implements of the sacred passion arranged
for framing. Thousands of these latter
find their way into pious Catholic house
holds, and inasmuch as they are practically
indestructible they remain for years to
remind the inmates of the passion season.
THE DAY AT THE CHURCHES.
Palm Sunday also ushers in Holy week,
the period of the moat solemn and inter
ea.ing services of the Catholic church,
during which the passion of Christ is com
memorated.
Tbe music at the cathedral, St. Patrick’s,
Sacred Heart and St. Benedict churches
trill he of a special joyful order in keeping
with the triumphal entry of Christ into
Jerusalem.
Among tho Episcopal churchej the
services at St. John’s will be the most
interistlng. At 73u o’clock this morning

STABBED |BY A DRUNKEN NEGRO.
An Unprovoked Attsmpted Murder
of a Citizen on Bull Street.
Peter I’arloe, an elderly man, was badly
cut last night about 11 o’olook at Bull aud
Liberty streets by Amos Williams (colored).
Air. Parloo was walking down Bull street
on bis way home, when be accidentally
brushed against Williams, who was stag
gering along in an intoxicated condition.
The negro must have had the knife open
in bis hand, for he wheeled quickly, and,
with a volley of oaths, drove tbe blade first
into Mr. Parloe’s shoulder and then Into bis
throat, breaking tbe blade in tbe latter
wound. The unfortunate viotim of the
drunken negro’s wrath cried for help, and
a policeman responded and captured
Williams as he was trying to get away.
He had the knife iu his possession, and was
spattered with Mr. Parloe’s blood.
The wounded man was taken
to tho barraoks tor medical treatment along
with bis assailant. Dr. Gomra, was sum
moned and temporarily dressed the wounds,
after which Mr. Parloe was taken to his
home, at No. 17;^'.Whitaker street. He was
quite weak from the loss of blood and was
suffering considerable pain.
Dr. Gomm will not be able to tell the ex
tent of Mr. Parioe’s wounds until to-day,
but he thinks they are exceedingly danger
ous, especially the one In the throat.
ALMOST A WRECK.
Engineer Well’s Hard Work Saves the
Sam Road From a Disaster.
There was almost a fatal wreck on the
Sam railroad night before last, news of
which was kept quiet until yesterday. The
passenger train due here after the Nancy
Hanks broke down near Bull creak after
turning a curve, and Engineer Bntler sent
his flagman back to p.aoe warning torpedoes
and signals on the track for the treight
train which was following close behind in
charge of Engiueer MelL
The flagman did not go back far enough
and Engineer Mell knew nothing of the
trouble ahead with the passenger train until
a torpedo explode! as he rounded the curve.
Then he was close enough to see the rear
passenger coach, aud with all the power he
could muster he put on brakes and reversed
his engine. It was down grade, however,
and the reversing did not seem to have
much effect upon the movement of the train.
The ongineer, feeling that a collision was
only a question of a few seconds, told his
fireman to jump for his life, but made up
his mind to stiok to his throttle till tbe last
moment. As the fireman jumped from the
cab Engineer Mell made one supreme
effort to stop his engine and fortunately
brought it to a standstill twenty feet away
from the platform of the last oar of the
passenger train. Ho almost fainted from
tbe effect of the terriflo strain he had unde. -
gone in those few minutes. The fireman
sustained several severe bruises from his
jump. Both trains arrived a little late. En
gineer Mell was feeling sick yesterday as a
result of his experience.
COULDN’T FIND THE PRESIDENT.
The Mayor Delayed in Tendering the
City’s Offer to the Shell Road.
Mayor MoDoaough has not made the
$5,000 tender to the V ernon Shell Road
Company yet, because he oannot reach
President Lester, who is in New York
studying law.
The understanding here was that Capt.
W. 8. Rockwell was president of the coxn
pany, but be resigned the position some time
ago. Even the attorney labored under the
impression that Capt. Rockwell was the
president, and the error was not discovered
until yesterday when Mayor McDonough
undertook to make Idm the offer.
The next step will be to write to Mr. Les
ter and request him to empower somebody
here to either oooept or rejeot the oity’s
award for the road.
FENCE OR NO FENCE AGAIN.
An Application Being Prepared for
Another Election.
An application is being prepared asking
the ordinary of the oounty to order au
election in the question of “Fence or no
fence,” and it is very probable that such an
election will be held.
Twice in this county has an eleotion been
held to decide the question, and both times
it has resulted in favor of the old order of
thiugs; that is, to keep out of cultivation
thousands of acres of land on acoount of a
few poor cattle.
There appears to have been a change In
the views of many people on the question,
and it is hoped that at the next test of the
question the spirit of progress will triumph.
CAPTURE OF AN EGG THIEF.
Detective Boeaell Runs Upon Bill
Stokes With a Box of Booty.
Bill Stokes, a notorious negro thief, was
seen last night by Detective Bossell
oarrving a large box into a house on West
Brood street. The detective waited out
side for Stokes and as soon as he emerged
from the door plaoed him under arrest and
demanded to be shown the box.
Stokes walked back with Deteotivo Bos
sell and pointed out tbe box. It contained
thirty-one dozen eggs and was consigned to
Freld & Hicks, from the steamer Alpha.
The detective carried Stokes and the eggs
to the barracks. The negro admitted that
he had stolen them from the Alpha’s
wharf.
FISH THIEVES CAUGHT.

Upon by Detective Bossell.
Detective Bossell lost night bagged six
young negro fi-h thieves at the market.
They are part of the gang which have been

Saturday nights for a long time. Their
method has been to steal shad and other
fish from the fish wagons arid barrels while
tbe owners would be carrying tbeir goods

WITH THE- RAILROADS.
THE RATE QUESTION TO BRING
OUT A COUNTER ARGUMENT.
The Georgia Lumber exchange to
Take a Hand Before the Commission.
Tho Reported Sale of the Central’s
Tripartite Bonds Considered a Mere
Rumor—Mr. J. W. Comer Appointed
Purchasing Agent The Augusta
and Pavannah Directors Bold a
Meeting Tho Central Protests
Against tho Crossing of Its Tracks
by the Suburban and West End.
From all appearances there is to be a
lively fight on before the railroad commis
sion when it meets Tuesday to resume the
hearing of argument in the matter of in
creasing rates, an appeal for which hew been
mads by all the railroads of tbe state.
Receiver Comer goes to Atlanta to-mor
row night, and Tuesday morning will pre
sent his argument in written form to the
commissioners, showing how the decrease in
rates has so materially affected tbe railroads
of the state, and especially the Central, so
that they have not only been unable to earn
a fair profit on the amount invested, but in
many instances have been declared by the
courts insolvent. Mr. Comer’s argument
will oover the ground fully, and all the sta
tistics bearing on the subject have been col
lected by him and will be presented. Rep
resentatives of the other railroads in the
state will be present, and will take an im
portant part in tbe discussion, as some of
them have been as badly embarrassed as
has the Central by tbe existing rates on
various commodities.
TUB GEORGIA LUMBER EXCHANGE.
A number of Kavannahians outside of
railroad circles are on tbe programme for
an important part in this discussion of tbe
rate question, and they aro the members
here of tbe Georgia Lumber Exchange, who
will hold a meeting in Atlanta to-inorrow
night for tbe purpose of taking some action
protesting against tbe increase of 25 per
cent, on commodities asked for by the rail
roads.
The member of the exchange will meet in
response to a circular from President H. Id.
Tift of Tifton, who is at the head of the as
sociation of Georgia’s lumbermen, This
circular sets forth that the object of the
meeting is to protest against the 25 per cent,
increase and to appoint representatives to
present to the commissioners their side of
the argument.
ALL THE LUMBERMEN IN IT.
The petition to be presented to the com
missioners is signed by every lumberman iu
Savannah, and is backed by the entire
lumber interests of tbe state, as tbe dealers
feel that any such increase might in some
instances put them in the same plight many
of the railroads are now in.
This will represent only dne class of inter
ests in the counter appeal before the com
mission, and there are perhaps several oth
ers to be heard from as to why they do not
want any increase in rates before the mat
ter will be decided. Tho commissioners will
doubtless entertain the arguments of ail
olasses of interests iu this matter, as it will
materially affect many of them, eachjof
whom may demand a hearing, and if such
is the cose the solution of tbe rate question
seems as yet afar off. Wbat the outcome
may be no one has now tbe remotest idea.
THE TRIPARTITE BONDS.
The Rumor of Their Proposed Sale
Seems to Have Little Effect Here.
Inquiries in regard to tbe dispatch in
yesterday’s Morning News to tbe effect
that an agreement had been made for the
purchase of the tripartite bonds of the Cen
tral railroad at par, and acorued interest
failed to develop that there was anything
in the statement which would materially
affect the present status of the Central’s af
fairs.
It was thought by some that this would
affeot matters by doing away with the
foreclosure proceedings so as to require
some change in tho reorganization scheme,
and would thereby materially decrease the
deposits of securities, but a visit to tbe
Southern Bank entirely disproved this idea.
Securities came in yesterday as rapidly, if
not more so, than they have been doing for
the la9t week, and several millions of
of dollars in stocks and bonds have been de
posited here up to date besides wbat have
been deposited in New York.
In speaking of the report in regard to the
tripartite bonds. Col. George A. Mercer,
attorney for the Farmers’ Trust Company,
said he knew nothing whatever of
the matter, and considered it only one
of tbe many rumors which have been sent
out from New York of late In regard to the
Central’s affairs. He said that the fore
closure proceedings will continue so far as
he knows, and even if suoh an agreement
has been made he is of the opinion that it
will not uffeot the reorganization of the
property.
Sir. Comer said he didn’t see how it
would make any difference, so far as the
reorganization is concerned, who holds the
tripartite bonds. He is of tbe opinion that
they will not be affeoted by changing
hands. He thought the report, however,
was only a rumor, aud stated that so far as
he knew there was absolutely nothing in it.
Whatever there may be in the report it
seems that those in charge of the Central’s
affairs here are giving little or no attention
to the matter. Mr. Comer said that in his
opinion there would be no other plan of or
ganization, and any talk that there was
likely to be was put out for the purpose of
embarrassing the rehabilitation of tbe
Central. As far as he knows no other plan
is contemplated than the one that has been
published.
A Macon dispatch says that capitalists
there who have stock in the Southwestern
railroad express themselves as perfectly
willing to take new stock in the reorganized
company for their Southwestern stock, and
think that tbe meeting of the Southwestern
stockholders, to be held there April 12, will
see It as they do, and go into the reorgan
ization. Dr. Baxter says that he thinks the
meeting will be harmonious aud of short
duration.
A PROTEST FILED.
The Central Railroad Further Opposes
ti e 0, end W. E Railway.
A protest has been filed with tbe clerk of
the county commissioners by the attorneys
for the Central railroad opposing the cross
ing of its tracks at the junction of the
Louisville and Augusta roads by the track
of the Suburban and West End railway.
There is now pending an injunction be
fore Judge Speer against the crossing of tbe
Central’s tracks at this point, and the Su
burban and West End may have to appear
1 efore his court before long to show oause
why a permanent injunction should not he
grantod.
The protest before ihe commissioners ob
jects to the ooudemnation of the Central’s
property for the purpose stated, and alleges
that the construction of this railway as pro
posed would materially damage the Central’s
property. It further alleges that the right
of constructing this railway was never
granted by the county commissioners, as a
protest was pending at the sme the com
pany signed the agreement, and they were
ordered to appear before the commissioners
to show cause why they should be granted
the right. The pending injunction
is based on these grounds, as well
us upon tbe proposition made by tbe Cen
tral railroad that there is a way to effect a
crossing by going under tbe tracks of tho
Central, which, they allege, could be dona
at less cost and with less injury to property
or danger to life.
Another point they are working on is the
order of the county commissioners passed
last Wednesday afternoon, whioh confirms
the action of the former oounty commis
sioners so far as the present track is laid,
which is within ninety feet of the Central’s
! track. Thus they claim that consent baa
not been given to lay the track upon the
Central’s rtgbt of way.
THE AUGUSTA AND SAVANNAH.
A Stockholders' Meeting Called for
April 26.
A meeting of the directors of the Augusta
and Savannah railroad, between Augusta
and Millen, was held yesterday afternoon
at the banking house of Latbrop & Hull.
Messrs. Frank H. Miller of Augusta and
W. W. Thomas of Athens were among those
present.
The meeting was called for the purpose
of considering tbe reorganization plan of
tbe Central system and to determine what
course was best to pursue regarding it.
This is a matter for the stockholders to con
sider, aud a resolution was passed calling a
meeting of the stockholders, to be held in
Savannah April 26 for the purpose of decid
ing what to do in regard to the reorganization
plan. It is said that the Augusta and Sa
vannah baa the same option in regard to
the plan os did the Southwestern, and on
account of the late date of tbeir meeting,
which is made necessary according to their
charter, as thirty days’ notice is required,
it is stated that some arrangement may be
made by which they can deposit their
securities at a later date should they decide
to enter the reorganization.
The stock of she Augusta and Savannah
is held largely in Savannah, Augusta and
Athens, tbe holders of the larges* blocks re
siding here, so that there will be com
paratively little trouble in depositing the
stock after the matter has been fully settled.
MR. BABBITT’S BUOGEBSOR.

facturing aud supply house.
FIRST AFRICAN BAPTISTS.
Tho Fight is Still On, but Trouble May
Be Averted Until the Conference.
There may be some trouble at the First
African Baptist ohuroh to-day and there
may not be, but if there is anything in the
statement of one of the members yesterday,
Lewis, who said if any of the minority
came there to-day somebody would leave
there dead, the row may break out afresh.
The minority is determined to carry out
its purpose, which is to impeach their pastor
on several grave charges which have been
brought forth against him, and they say
that suoh would have been done last Sun
day, which was conference Sunday,
if the conference had been held. They
say, when they entered the church Pastor
Love had taken his ohair in the pulpit and
had begun the aegular services, with which
they could not interfere, as they would have
been oharged with disturbing public wor
ship.
They are determined in the matter, how
ever, and eay they can substantiate the
charges they make, Ttieyjoiaim a foroe of
500 in all, most of whom they say will not
attend the church on acoount of opposition
to the pastor. They plan of action, how
ever, as stated by one of them yesterday,
will be to canvass among the members oi
tbe congregation and obtain a large repre
sentation by next conlerenoe Sun
day, whioh will be the third Sunday
in April. There will hardly be any serious
trouble on hand before that date.
When the conference is called they say
they will demand that Pastor Love vacate
the ohair, and then they will prefer their
charges againßt him. What tbe outcome
will be remains to be seen.
Pastor Love was seen yesterday in re
gard to the matter, and his story puts quite
a different light on the whole atfair.
He says the opposition to
him grew out of the fact
that one of the deacons was expelled from
the church about a year ago for dishonesty,
and this man, he claims, has been arousing
all the undercurrent of opposition on the
part of a few members of the ohuroh,which
has been brewing for some time.
Others, he soys, oppose him because of
his supposed discrimination in favor of one
woman at the time the election of or
ganist was held. These matters, he says,
aro the real causes of all the trouble and op
position to him.
Of the charges, he says he will be able to
disprove every one of them, and he shows
documents which appear to be counter
testimony to that substantiating them. Ho
denies that there is a word of truth in them,
and says that they are mere pretexts. He
has testimonials of good character from
prominent citizens In Southwest Georgia,
and believes that nothing will ever come of
the trouble which has been brewing.
The First African Baptist ohurcli Is per
haps the largest ohuroh In point of num
bers in the United States, having consider
ably over 5,000 oommunicants, and for this
reason the result of this trouble and in
ternal dissension will be watched with in
terest. Pastor Love says he has baptized
2,000 and more of the communicants since
be has been connected with tbe ohuroh, and
states that ho can raise almost any amount
of money needed whenever be calls for it.
, CITY BREVITIES.
The revival services at Trinity ohurch
are showing good results. Every service is
crowded with people. Dr. Leftwich will
preach this morning at 11 o’olock, and at
4:30 o’clock this afternoon he will hold a
special service for men only, at whioh he
will also preach.
William C. Umbaeh, a storekeeper at
Wayne and Jefferson streets, got into a row
last night with D. I'. Brown and tried to
give Coroner D.xon a job. He fired several
shots at him, but fortunately all of them
went wide of the mark Both men were
arrested and locked up at the barracks.
A negro named Saxsen waj hunting
around among tho offices of the Justices of
the peace yesterday endeavoring to secure
someone to arrest a Chinaman named
Bung Hop, who, he says, defrauded him .of
his shirt aud some other laundered articles.
He had no check, and consequently got no
“washee.” He said the Chinaman failed to
give him the usual check.
The attention of the Morning News has
been called several times by Bay street
merchants and others, whose business re
quires them to use the sidewalk on the north
side of the street, particularly between
Whitaker and Jefferson streets, to its condi
tion. It is. in fact, hardly a sidewalk at
all, merely a rough pathway filled with
stones and other obstructions. The plaoe
has been in thiß condition for twenty years
or more. Tbe street would be Improved if
a smooth shell road were laid on the north
side of the ruadwuv and the dobris removed.
There is another spot that has been neg
lected—tbe roadway on Jefferson sweet, be
tween Congress and Bay streets. The amount
of traffic over this spot is as great as it is
any where in the city. It is generally full
of gullies and a bard road to travel.

There was no game in Charleston yester
day afternoon because the heavy rain
turned the park into a big mud puddle.
Manager Manning says the Charleston peo
ple were under the impression that Savan
nah’s team was amateurish, and that a
game with them would be a soft snap, but
they were given a surprising awakening in
seeing an aggregation of men oapable of
knocking the “only Colcolough” out of the
box with ease.
The Charleston News and Courier in its
beading of the article on the ball game,
dubs the Savannahs “The Hoke Bmith
Champions.” The following is the story
told by that paper of Charleston’s Waterloo:
‘ ‘The Savannah base ball team batted a
complete victory out of the vanquishers of
•Maryland, my Maryland’ yesterday. It
might have been because the clouds that
hung gloomily over the western sky prom
ised abundant rain. It might have been be
cause Mr. Thomas Colcolough happened to
have an‘off’ day or because the Orioles
were hovering around praying for revenge,
or because McCarthy bad hurt his finger
aud could uot take part. But, anyhow, the
big boys from the Forest city sent the ball
flying all over the field just out of the
fielders’ hands, and the only original
Charleston twirler was, for a wonder,
forced to yield the box to Gayle.
WE KNEW IT ALL THE TIME.
“Tbe Savannah people bave a strong
team. No one can deny that It is a very
strong team. They play ball for all they
are worth, and they seem to have a special
grudge against the pitober and the center
field fence. But they are not so strong
that they can make monkeys out of the Sea
Gulls every day. Tliat they won a fair and
square game simply by their batting is a
fact beyond dispute, but there were several
acoidents which helped to run the score up
to its calamitous proportions.
“Of the Charlestons’ batting and 1 ase
running ic is not necessary to speak at
length. They did not distinguish them
selves by any means, but they got In four
men, which was just that many better than
none at all. Their fielding was, with three
exceptions, one of whioh was both notable
and lamentable, active and spirited.
“The Savannahs played in luok all the
way through. In the first inning Nioholl
took his base on balls. Then two men got
out at first. Klussman hit down to short
and got his base on Hatfield’s costly error,
and that waß when the damage was done.
Connaughton, Shaffer and Hurley followed
with clean hits, the second of whioh was a
3-bagger, and before the side went out four
runs were scored.
HOW THEY KNOCKED OUT COLCOLOUGH.
“The next two innings were uneventful.
But in the fourth Colcolough met his
Waterloo. Meekim, Nioholl, MoGarr,
Manning, Klussman and Connaughton suc
cessively pounded the ball into all kinds of
shapes, netting ten bases with four earned
runs. Errors and a base in balls let in an
other run in the sixth.
* ‘The fielding of the Savannahs was bril
liant in the extreme. While two errors
were charged up to tbeir acoount, they were
not of much consequence alongside of such
batting, It Beemed that wherever a Charles
ton mau would send the ball there would
invariably be about six Savannah men right
after it. Almost every long fly that was
hit went straight into the special territory
of some of Savannahs’,fielders. They caught
standing and sitting and running and climb
ing up the fence and in every conceivable
position. During the last half of the eighth
inning darkness ended the game. The sad
story is briefly told.”
TO TACKLE BALTIMORE TO-MORROW.
To-morrow Savannahians will have a
ohanoe to see the local club on the borne
diamond with Baltimore, and after the lat
ter’s experience in Charleston Manager
Manning does not think there is muoh doubt
about Savannah’s ability to knook out tho
Indians. The three games will no doubt be
quite exciting and ought to attract a big
crowd to the park. The boys deserve it
after the manner In whioh they held aloft
Savannah’s colors in the City by the Sea.
The Baltimore team will arrive to-night.
To-morrow’s game will be called promptly
at 4 o’clock. The admission will be 25 cents
and tickets can be purchased at Gazan &

TELFAIR ACADEMY.
A Plan to Get a Great Pict
ure for It.
The Morning News believes the posses
sion by the Telfair academy of one of the
great piatures that will be exhibited at the
Columbian fair would give pleasure to all
the friends of the Academy. Why not raise
an amount sufficient to purchase one of
them I The Academy’s friends can easily do
it. If each one of them will give the under
taking his support the thing \v ill be accom
plished.
The Academy bos many friends, and they
are Dot confined to this city or state. They
are to be found in many siates, for of tne
thousands of visitors to the oity within the
last two or three years from all parts of the
country, many of them have passed pleas
ant hours viewing its treasures. From some
of these help may be expected.
Of course Savannahians will respond gen
erously, and so will Georgians outside of
Savannah. The Academy is in faota south
ern institution. It is the only Aoade
my of fine arts south of Washington.
Ths souroes therefore from whioh assistance
may be hoped for are many.
Subscriptions will be received by the
Morning News and promptly acknowl
edged in tbe column that will ba devoted to
that purpose. Let every friend of tbe
Aoademy help in this undertaking and the
institution will have amoug its oolleotion

A Habit.
Everybody in the oity has a habit of eat
ing.
That is not strange, but there is a strange
thing, however, about it.
Does everybody eat healthy and palatable
food!
There is a question.
Much has been said about the inferior
meats which have been brought to this mar
ket and offered for sale, but les3 has been
said about the enterprise of these dealers
who have made the business what it
really is.
There is not a family in the city who has
not heard of the selections of meats
of every kind, the vegetables and
the general business of H. Logan,
the leading butcher of Savannah. When it
is convenient the ladies always go direct to
Logon’s and make arrangements for future
orders. His poultry and game of all kinds
are sought after by the very best people in
the south. — Ad.
Fine clothing covers a multitude of de
fects. Nobody objects to being takeu for a

appearance of a gentleman, anywav? Ap

place.— Ad.
Next Sunday.
Every lady In the city of Savannah is
personally interested in millinery. Hats
and bonnets are paramount to everything
at this season of the year.
Next Sunday is Easter and every lady de
sires to appear in one of the latest styles
bats. Bhe has visited tbe display rooms of
tbe Palais Royal and seen the beautiful rmt
terns there exhibited. She has left an or
der for a hat or bonnet, that is, every one
who could get the order in, but all orders
will receive attention notwithstanding tbe
great rush during the past week. We pro
pose to suit the liberal patronage and keep
up with the times in style. If the ladies
want a spring hat they go to the Palais
Royal. Julius Krouskoff, Manager .— Ad.
A Doubt Removed.
In the mind of every thoughtful and
prudent man who insures his life there is
often a lingering doubt as to whether his
wisheß aud expectations in regard to the
disposition of his insurance will be carried
out by his executors, and whether it is pos
sible that those for whom he Is providing
may by some error in judgment or financial
catastrophe be oalled upon to face the want
and poverty from which he Is laboring and
planning to protect them. The doubt is a
natural one, and it has puzzled many wise
heads how best to make tho proceeds of a
polioy on absolutely safe, permanent and
sure source of Income to the recipient. The
Mutual Life Insurance Company has solved
the problem, and in its last creation, the
5 per cent, debenture, a form of insurance
is presented which removes all doubt and is
as certain as a government bond.
For Information and a full description,
apply to W. W. Bussey, Manager Eastern
Georgia, room 3, Board of Trade building.
