j; re-union of the United Confederate
y e! ,; ns will not take place until July, but
„ rs of the Savannah camps have nl
rea,lv begun to consider the number of
j, t ii that will represent them. It Is de
[;r i to have a large delegation of the old
juniors in Atlanta to mingle with corn
el, and fight again the battles of the
(a ,i •■so’s, and the energetic members of
id. Veterans’ association will do all they
can to see t"hat a large number goes up.
The Daughters of the Confederacy will
pr ..'■ably undertake the work of raising
funds to send veterans to the re-unioti,
„no. witnout tneir assistance, wouia be un
al)l, to go. several of the veterans have
' !)rt n discussing the matter with the la
dl. sand it is evident that they feel suf
f: i.nt interest to undertake the matter.
The ladies, though they have as yet form
ed no definite plans, expect to give a series
of ,’itertainments to raise enough money
to defray the expenses of a number of the
old soldiers. They would like to see the
re-union as successful as possible and they
understand that success can be only
achieved by a large attendance.
At the last reunion of the veterans, it
If said that seventy-nine went from Augus
ta. as a result of the efforts of the Daugh
ters of the Confederacy. The cost to the
old soldiers was nothing, as all expenses
above railroad fare were defrayed by the
gen. ral association. It is said that the
Nashville reunion was one of the most
successful that has ever been held. The
fare and accommodation arranged for the
veterans was excellent, some of them af
firming that they tyere treated much bet
ter than they would have been had they
been at the hoteH. 'Similar provision will
be made at Atlanta for their comfort, so
that the expenses of the trip will consist
of only the railroad fare. 'This wlil be
greatly reduced on account of the numbers
that will attend the reunion, and the
fund to be raised by the Savannah ladies
will not necessarily be very large.
Gen. Clement A. Evans, who Is in com
mand of the Georgia division of the vet
erans, has notified the Savannah associa
tions of his desire to have the members
attending, wear gray uniforms and suita
ble badges to Indicate their camps. This
is a matter that is left to the camps to
don rmine, but it Is said that the local
veterans are in favor of wearing uniforms.
Many of them will go into camp, where
they will have to rough it in a way that
would play havoc with, ordinary clothes.
The esprit du corps of the association also
renders the use of the uniform probable.
Members feel more like the reunions are
military affairs when they appear in uni
form, ami the memories of the war crowd
more strongly when the gray Is worn.
A special meeting of Lafayette McLaws
Camp was to have, been held last night for
the consideration of the matter of uni
forms. Owing to ihe inclemency of the
weather, however, a quorum was not pres
ent. It will therefore be necessary to hold
another meeting at an early date. It was
intended to appoint a committee for con.
ference with the Veterans’ Association
upon the question of uniforms and other
matters pertaining to the' reunion.
The annual reports, of the gamp to be
p enl in to the office of the adjutant gen
eral at New Orleans, were also to have
teen considered. It is imperative that
these reports be sent In before ApVIl 1, or
the camp loses its privileges and rights In
the general association'. The per capita
ox on all members of the camps and their
complete rosters of officers and men are
ftnt to the Adjutant General, whose wofk
is by no means easy, when it is considered
that the number of camps has increased
greatly of late, and has now reached 1,351.
The regular meeting of McLaws Camp
will not be held until the third Tuesday
in April. It will thus be necessary for the
matter of the reports to receive considera
tion at an earlier meeting. The meetings
of the camp and also of the association
re held quarterly. It Is said the members
are dissatisfied with this plan, and Intend
adopting a change in the constitution that
v :11 call for more frequent meetings. It
|“ thought Interest in the assemblies can
Ite greatly Increased by this means.

REV. DR. WHITE’S SERMONS.
Two Discourse* Delivered at Yester
day's Services.
The sermon of Dr. J. F. White at the
First Baptist Church yesterday morning
was one of great force and simplicity. His
subject was 'The Secret of a Beautiful
and Useful Life.” He todk Paulas letter
io the church at Ephesus as the basis of
his remarks. The epistle contains two
great thoughts, he said. The blessings In
Christ. These blessings are entered into
through the Holy Spirit. He spoke of the
blessings of assurance, access to the Fath
er, increase in spiritual strength and pow
er for service. He said we might know
that we were filled and prepared for ser
vice if we had a singing heart, a thankful
heart, a submissive heart, and a rightly
adjusted life. These thoughts, he said,
had up to the climax of the epistle which
describes the Christian armour.
Dr. White’s morning sermons are spe
cially adapted to help Christians in an In
crease of faith* in a fervent zeal and in in
telligent and helpful Christian living. He
shows in every sermon diligent and accu
rate preparation, a clear insight Into hu
man nature and a thorough understanding
of the great doctrines of grace.
The weather very much reduced the at
tendance last night. Dr. White never lets
bad weather discourage him, though. He
says God's work Is never hindered by God s
providences. The night subject was
“Pt-ajter.” He sAid he would not waste
time on quibbles about prayer. When a
hungry ohlld goes to father or mother
for a piece of bread it is not disposed to
quibble about the philosophy of it. So
the hungry soul comes to God to ask for
a blessing and not to quibble. God answers
prayer very quickly sometimes—often the
answer comes back quicker than you could
get an answer io a telegram. Our prayers
are not answered because we do not ask
aright. Let us ask for great things. It
is not asking God to do too much to ssk
him to convert Savannah. If God’s peo
ple will only do their duty he will save
the sinners of Savannah.
“Why does God answer prayer?” he ask
ed. “Because we are his children through
Christ, and the Lord cares for his chil
dren. Christ is our mediator and interces
sor, and he prays for us and the Father
will hear his Son in our behalf. Then the
Holy Spirit intercedes for us with groan
ings that cannot be uttered. The Father
knows our great need, and He can make
us rich without impoverishing himself.”
There were four professions of faith at
the night service.
CLOSE OF THE STAR COURSE.
Boston Ideals Gave the Final Con
cert of the Season.
The fifth and, for this season, the last of
the Y. M. C. A. star course of entertain
ments was given at the Guards’ hall last
night, the Boston Ideal Banjo, Mandolin
and Quitar <;iub Was the attraction.
The club is composed of Messrs. Lan
sing, Gaitehcia, Babb, Shattuck and Robin
son, and tt is enough praise to say that
they are masters of their instruments.
Owing to the very disagreeable weather
the audience was not as large as 1 usual,
but it made up in enthusiasm what it
lacked ip numbers. Encores were the or
der rather than the exception. Mr. Lan
sing alone responded to three in succession.
The dampness made the instruments diffi
cult to keep in tune, but this was reme
died by tuning between numbers.
While the programme as a whole con
tains mostly popular numbers, the players
are equally. well qualified to play more
pretentious music, as some of the encores
showed. The following is the programme:
“El Capitan March,” Romanza, Sueno
d'Amour, and a recall piece, by the club.
“Golden Robin,” “Old Folks at Home,”
and, as an encore, Traumerel, by Mr.
Lansing, banjo, and Mr. Galencta, gui
tar.
"Grand Galop de Concert,” and "Indian
War Dance,” the latter being a kind of
musical episode, introducing Tom-toms,
Indian Gourd, Apache scalp song, etc.
The applause after this piece was almost
vociferous, and the clul) responded with a
medley of "coon” songs and the “Chinese
Serenade.”
The trick banjo duet of Messrs. Shat
tuck and Babb, was so well received that
they were forced to repeat it.
The next number was a negro chorus,
sung by the club. As an encore "aa Ange
line” was sung.
Intermezzo and the Pique Dame over
ture; and the Flying Yankee and old time
dances comprised the next two numbers,
after which Mr. Lansing, accompanying
himself on the banjo, sang a stuttering
song and was compelled to return three
times, singing with particular success an
eulogy on "Boston Baked Beans” and the
romance of “Josiah and Mlriah.”
The rest of the programme consisted of
“Infanta March.” “Belle of the Cake
walk,” “Bella Mazurka," "The Life of
Love Is But a Day,” and minstrel echoes.
After the performance the club was en
tertained at the Chatham Artillery Hall,
which is a sufficient guarantee of a good
time.
This has been quite a successful season
for the star course. Secretary Johnson,
in behalf of the committee, thanks its
friends for the support given its efforts.

THE MORNING NEWS; FRIDAY, MARCH 4. 189S.
VANGUARD OF SAVANNAH TEAM
MANAGER HUSTON AND TWO PLAY
ERS ALREADY HERE.
President McGuire Mill Re In Savan
nah Monday—Pat Meaner to Play
Right Field—Charles Ileeeher Short
Sto|>—The Rest of the Team Will
He Here Soon—To-night's In,lour
ltnll Games.
The vanguard of the Savannah base bull
team reached Savannah yesterday. Man
ager Jack Huston, Charles Beecher and
Pat Meaney, two of the players, arrived
from New Orleans.
President McGuire was expected in Sa
vannah March 1, but he was delayed in
New Orleans a fgw days. As he could not
come himself he thought it well to send
Huston on and, as Beecher and Meaney
were both in New Orleans, and anxious to
get to the scene of their future employ
ment, the trio carhe together. President
McGuire will attend the league meeting in
Birmingham Sunday, and come to Sa
vannah direct from that place.
Meaney has been signed to play right
field, and will take the place of Alexan
der, who will not be on the team. Meaney
played last season with in the
Eastern League. Scranton sold Us fran
chise to Rochester this season.and Meaney
was on the reserve list up to March I.
Huston has been after him all winter, and
as soon as the time expired he was signed
to play with Savannah. Meaney is a fast
fielder and a good slicker, and Huston
thinks he has a find In him.
Beecher is to play short stop. He Is a
little man, but looks like a ball player,
and from all accounts he is a good one.
“My, this is beastly weather, and I hope
it won't last long,” said Manager Huston.
“We haven’t had much of a chance to see
anything of your city on account of the
weather, but what we have seen of It we
like very much. We only hope that your
people will like us and that we will get
along well together.
"About the team,” continued Huston,
“well, my bqy, it's a winner, and there is
no doubt about it. Why, if we don't land
that rag, it Will be the sorest disappoint
ment of my life. You may think that 1
am giving you that sterotyped bluff that
the average base bail manager gives out
at the beginning of every season, but I am
not.
"I have played at one time or another
with every man on my team and I know
just what they can do and what to expect
of them. ,We have one of the best catchers
in the league in Jimmie Sullivan, if he is
not the best. We have more pitchers than
We know what to do with, and (hey are all
stare. Stubs Is a phenomenal twirler, and
before the season is well started there will
not be anything in the’ league to touch
him. Our infield Is a regular Gibraltar of
strength. With Weikert on first, Devinney
on second and Joe Dowle at third, the
bases will be looked after In great style,
while Kid Spencer and Beecher are two of
the best short stops in minor league com
pany. Brott will take care of left field, I
will play center and Meaney right. We
have not a weak hitter on the team, and
the majority of them are strong with the
stick. Oh, we’ve got a winner, and that’s
no joke.”
Manager Huston did not have an oppor
tunity of visiting the park yesterday, but
he will do so to-day if the weather is good.
He wants to take a look at the diamond
and grounds, and begin to get them ir.to
condition. As soon as President McGuire
arrives next week work will begin on the
grandstand and bleachers.
Huston, Beecher and Meaney have been
playing ball on and off all through the
winter in New Orleans, and they are in
fairly good condition. They will begin to
limber up immediately, and will be in first
class shape by the time the other mem
bers of the teem arrive, which will lie In
about two weeks.
The presence of the players will do much
to arouse the interest in the game, and
give the fans something tangible to talk
about.
The in-door base ball teams of the C. L.
A. and the Y. M. C. A. will meet for the
third time in this series at Y. M. C. A.
hall to-night. Each team has won a game,
and the game to-night is going to be a bard
fight for the rubber.
For several other reasons the gome will
be hotly contested. If the Y. M. O. A.
wins, it will give them a big lead over the
other two teams, while if they lose. It will
put the three teams again tied.
There seems to be an impression among
some people that the reserved seats are
the only desirable ones to be had. This
is entirely wrong, for the seats back of
the first row, on the eastern and western
sides of the hall are comfortable, and af
ford an excellent view of the floor.
The game wfill be called at 9 o’clock, and
the teams will line up as follows:
C. L. A.- y. M. C. A.—
Sullivan catch Hipkins
Harrigan pitch Thompson
O’Connor ...first base Anderson
Charlton ..second base Englertn
Oppenheimer third base King
Downey ~1. s. s Elton, J.
Winters r. s. s Elton, O
Be 1. t Ulmer
Hogan ~r. f Coleman
The first game of the Odd Fellows’ In
door Base - Bqll League will be played to
night between the teams of Golden Rule
Lodge No. 12 and Haupt. Lodge No. 58. The
batteries will be Campos and Sandiford
for No. 58, and Mclntyre and Quit n toe :c
for No. 12.
The game will be played at Odd Fellows’
Hall. The gallery has a seating capacity
of 250, while spectators will also be seated
on the main floor. The best seats will be
reserved for the ladies. The game will
be called at 9 o’clock.
SETTLED OUT OF COURT.
Storm Damage Suit Ended by an
Agreement.
In the City Court yesterday the case of
Bohan & Cowan vs the Commercial Union
Assurance Company of London was
tgopght to a close by agreement of the in
terested parties. The suit was for $1,925
for damages alleged to have been caused
to the South End hotel, then the Cottage
Club, during the storm of 1893. Bohan &
Cowan sued for the use of Emile New
man,, trustee of the club.
While the case was being argued before
Judge Norwood a. point arose as to the
ownership of the hotel property by Bohan
& Cowan. Maj. Meldrfm, who represented
thq company, declined to accept oral evi
dence as to the existence of the deed, and
as somebody had misplaced the deed, the
plaintiffs counsel, Mr. W. C. Hartrtdgo,
was unable to produce it. Finally it was
decided to make a oopy of the deed on
reoord in the clerk's office. While the at
torney* were arguing this point Mr. W.
M. Bohan and the representative of the as
surance company got together in one cor
ner and effected a settlement of the case.
Their announcement to this effect was a
surprise to both attorneys as well as to
the court. Tne attorneys agreed, how
ever, and the case waa closed with t>-
xonsent of the court.

AT THE THEATER.
“Tlie Prodigal Fa I her" Before n H*g
garly Audience.
"The Prodigal Father,” a three-aet
farce, was given at the theater last night
to a small audience, caused doubtless by
the inclement weather.
Notwithstanding the limited audience
the company gave a creditable perform
ance. There Isvery little In the piece it
self and the play Is made up mostly of
specialties. A number of topicgl and coon
songs were sung and the dancing was very
good. The company Is made up of a lot
of fairly clever people and deserved a bet
ter audience. An effort will be made to
secure Its return next week.
Louis James will be seen at two per
formances to-day—a matinee of “Julius
Caesar,” and a night performance of Mr.
James’ new play', “A Cavalier of France.’’
The romantic drama seems to have taken
a strong hold upon the theater-goers Just
now, and “A Cavalier of France,” from
all reports, is quite as interesting as any
of the Himilnr plays which have been given
recently. The company comprises, besides
Mr. James, such people as Barry John
stone, Collin Kemper. W. A. Lincoln,
Frank W. Peters, Norman H. Hackett,
Gilbert Gardner, and the Misses Mary
Emerson, Loretto Wells, and Aphle James.
Mr. James will appear as Brutus at the
matinee.
—Mr. Krupp has Just obtained through
the German foreign office a concession
from King Alexander’s government to
work the coal, Iron, copper, lead and sli
ver mines in the East of Servla. The
concession is for a period of ninety-nine
years and rights have also been given to
use the rapids of the Danube, between
Bruitza and Kladoob, for the development
of the 1 tower needed for the enterprise.
Ex-King Milan is reported to have con
tributed In no small measure to the grant
of the concession and to have received a
considerable sum from Krupp for his
trouble. Krupp has already formed a
company at Berlin with a capital of $8,000,-
000 to work the concession.
