The Evangelist Deeply .Mourned | u
Savannah.
The chief lopio of the week In church
circle* ha* been the death of Dwight L
Moody, the well known evangeimi. Mr
Moody was w. II known here, having con
ducted a i-rit* of revival meeting* in thht
city during Ihe spring of 1897, These meet
ing*, which were 'held in the Independent
1 realty let iar Church, lasted two week*
and were moot *uo:r*ful. It I* the unan
imous opinion that in th death of Mr
-*-* c- 1,.,t
a splendid worker, whose Influence was
for the good, not only of those churches
In particular, but of religion in general.
Rev. J. D. Chapman, who knew Mr.
Moody well, said.yesterday that he was.
perhaps, the greatest man of hts genera
tion In the religious world, and that his
name had become a household word In two
continents. Mr. Chapman will hold me
morial services to him this evening at the
Duffy Street Baptist Church.
Gl’AItD THE NATION'S HEAD.
Police System in Vogue nf the White-
House I* Complete.
From the Washington Times.
Few persons who visit the national cap
ital and. In fact, not a great many re si
dents, are aware of the system In o era
tloti at the White House for the protec
tion of the President and his houseiold.
To the casual observer *he,e is apparent
ly no guard system. Those who have
visited the White House and moved
throughout Its large grounds have won
dered at the apiwrent laxity. They have
even inquired why so much liberty and
freedom of access to any portion of the
President's private domain was allowed to
all sightseers. Some persons have remark
ed that It would be impossible for the po
licemen on duty there to tell by observa
tion whether a visitor was there as a
sightseer of an anarchist who Intended vi
olence toward the President or some mem
ber of his family. But at the same time
they have realized the fact that crari
and others are invariably exclude!. The
question with the uninitiated is how the
thing is prevented and where are these
guards who seem to see and know all that
transpires.
Asa matter of fact, there is, compara
tively speaking, no guard at the White
House; that is to say, when the armed
protectors of the crowned heads are taken
into consideration.
When one considers the methods for pro
tection employed by the Eastern rulers the
contrast with those in vogue here is mark
ed. Here, there has never been felt a
genuine necessity for an -armed guard for
the protection of the President and his
family. Since tho birth of the republic
it has witnessed but two assassinations
of Presidents, those of Lincoln and Gar
field, and on neither occasion was the
deed committed at the White House. On
one occasion only did any person ever
gain entrance to the White House who it
was thought meant harm to the Presi
dent, and It developed that the individual
was not responsible for what he did and
was simply seeking notoriety. An Inves
tigation proved that the entrance was
gained simply for the purpose of creat
ing a scene and not with the Intention to
do an< harm. Asa matter of fact, the
expected scene was averted, os the mis
creant was detected and subdued before
he had time to intimate the nature of his
visit.
While no necessity is felt for a strong
guard at the White House, there Is, nev
ertheless, the due and necessary precaution
to guard against emergencies. Persons
who visit the White House and stroll
through the magnificent grounds are not
alive to the precaution taken, nor do they
realize that there is in effect there one
of the greatest and most perfect guard
sy stems in existence. The guard is
hut it haa at Its command all the facili
ties for Increasing itself sufficiently to
cope with any emergency that might arise
tn time of peace.
This guard system is practically an In
novation, as It has been in existence but
a little more than a year. Previous to Its
organization, and, in fact, since the last
military guard was withdrawn from the
White House after the death of President
Garfield, there was always a small force
at the mansion, but there was not such a
good system. The present system Is con
sidered as nearly perfect as possible, and,
moreover, there is no display about U.
To begin with, the White House is sur
rounded by policemen at all hours of the
day and night. Each policeman does duty
for eight hours, and only fifteen policemen
are detailed for the twenty-four hours,
which are devilled into three watches.
In charge of these policemen arc two
sergeants, who do twelve-hour tricks of
duty. For instance, five policemen go Into
service at 8 o'clock in the morning and
remain until 4 o’clock in the afternoon,
when they are relieved by five others, who
continue through until midnight, being
then relieved by still another quintet,
who are in turn relieved by the men who
report for duty at 8 o’clock. The sergeant
who begins duty with the morning squad
sees them relieved at 4 o'clock, when he
is relieved by the second sergeant. Tho
latter is not relieved until 8 o’clock the
following morning. The sergeants are not
always patrolling the grounds, though they
never leave them, and can always, when
not In view, be located at the watch house
where the working apparatus of the guard
system is secreted.
In the watch house is detai'ed a clerk
and opeiator who lias elarge of nil recor 's
answers all telephone calls, and registers
the policemen on guard when they turn in
every li ur from their respective beats.
This clerk ami operator does duty for
twelve hours and Is then relieved by a
second man, who performs the s■: vice re
quired.
The five policemen who do duty ot the
fame lime ate assigned to five beats which
surround lnimedtaiely the White Home
and (he attached conservatory. The first
beat begins at the iron fence just east
of the mansion and extends along the
front to the portico end around to the cen
ter of it. The second lx at continues from
there to the center of the conservatory,
where it Is met by the third beat, which
extends around the conservatory. There
the fourth beat begins, continuing to the
southeast corner of the mansion, and from
there to the iron f nee it becomes heat No.
5. Thus the entire building is surround)d.
Each rollceman patrols hs bent for oil"
hour aftir going on duty and then moves
on to the second beat and to the third,
fourth and fifth, beginning again at the
starting point and thus consuming five
hours. In the other three horns he, of
course, covers three beats. For Instance,
polioemon No. 1 patrols the first beat from
8 until 9 o’clock, wh-n he moves to the
s cord beat, where he remains until 10
o'clock, and then moves on to the third
heat and so on. Policeman No. 2,be'ng on
the stcond b at at 8 o'clock.at 9 to the tMrd
and then nt 10 takes up hts position on
the fourth heat. So it Is with policemen
Nos. 3, 4 and 5. who begin respectively on
the third, fourth and fifth beats and move
ot the rale of one beat an hour, thus mak
ing a circuit which they retraverse to the
extent of thr.e heats.
As each policeman leaves a beat at the
end of an hour, he communicate* that
fact to the O|erator at the watffihix hy
pressing a small button located at tha
junction of the heats. This r sisters th?
policeman, and he is marked up as on
duty at his proper poet. The little reg
istering buttons are secreted in conveni
ent places easy of access lo the policeman,
hut not so conspicuous as to attract at
tention.
These little buttons, however, arc not
used exclusively for registering the police
men. By a certain number of pres ures
on the button at any of the heat*, the p -
llcatnen can Indicate io the operator
whether the sergeant Is wanted, a crank
1* becoming obstreperous, a fire has start
ed, a iierson seized with Illness, a riot is
In progress, or, In fact anyth'ng out of
the ordinary that may have happened.
The operator, of course, has his Instruc

SALVATION ARMY’S WORK.
CAPT, DENISTON TO ORGANIZE A
CORPS IN SAVANNAH.
The Corps Now Here a Different
Branch Prom That Which Was
in Savannah Several A ears Ago.
Tin* Work It In DoiiiK anil What It
Proposes to Do— Meetings Now Hell
in AV. C. T. L’. Hull, but a Separate
Building; to Be Secured as Soon as
Practicable.
The Salvation Army is once more esiab
lished in Savannah. Cape, and Mrs. Den
iston, assisted by Cadet Henson,
are in charge of the corps. They
came here from Tatnpa where they have
been for the last few months. At present
they are holding their meetings in the
Woman’s Christian Temperance Union hall
on Broughton street, but hope soon to se
cuie a place of their own. They are h'ghly
commended by the ministers of Tampa and
of Columbus, where they have also worked
They expect to establ sh a corps here on a
permanent basis.
In answer to a question relative to the
officers that were here earr.e years
ago. they said they do not belong to the
fame army. Then there were two branches
of the atmy at work in the United States.
One was a split from Gen. Booth’s
army and is now out of existence. The
people who were here several years ago
were members of that body that withdiew.
Their work was not lasting as the work
done by r. preseniatives of the army, of
which William Booth of London is the
reader. Their methods, too, were very ex
treme.
Capt. Deniston and his wife seem to be
more reserved and quiet in their way of
working. They expect to hold meetings in
their hall and on the streets, keeping
strictly within the bounds of the law. One
of their strongest rules is to obey the civil
authorities. They feel that an injustice has
been done them by the Mayor in restrict
ing them to open air m etings below
Oglethorpe avenue. This makes it almost
impossible for them to reach the people
they are after, who congregate on Brough
ton, Congress and St. Juliun streets. Th y
say, however, that they will obey the or
ders of the Mayor to the letter.
In addition to their work in their hall
and in the open air they expect to visit the
poor and aid them especially in sickness.
Cadet Henson has had considerable ex
perience in nursing the sick. Though not
a graduate nurse she has gained much
lo aid her in her work ifi the different
hospitals she has been in. Anyone report
ing them cases of sickness among the
poor can secure the immediate services of
Miss Henson and Mrs. Deniston without
charge. In Columbus, Ga., they especial
ly’ commended themselves to the city phy
sicians by the labor of love in this di
rection.
Another feature of the work’done by the
women was learned from the captain, and
that is the visits made to saloons, gamb
bilng places and places of a worse charac
ter. It is in these places they sell the
"War Cry,” the organ of the army. This
paper is issued weekly, is profusely illus
trated. The Christmas number had a
beautiful cover. A wreath of holly about
a picture of a woman worker who has
found two homeless children out in the
cold and taking them to one of the many
shelters for waifs which they have opened
in most all of the large cities in the coun
try.
The captain’s wife said that in all her
experience in selling the “War Cry” in
saloons and other places she had never
been insulted. The roughest men are the
best friends they 'have, and oft
times they give much more than is asked
for the paper. Some men give as high
a dollar. This is one of the principal
way’s they secure the money’ needed to
support their work.
The Captain, who is blind is known per
sonally by Rev. James A. Smith, pastor of
the Seventh Street Methodist Episcopal
Church, and has the support, not only
of Mr. Smith, but many others in the
city. Rev. Arthur J. Smith, pastor of the
First Presbyterian Church, Is very hearty
in his commendation of their work. They
say when once their aims are properly un
derstood, they never lack for friends In the
churches and among all classes.
Capt. Deniston said that in addition to
the sketches for waifs, they have rescue
homes for fallen women, hotels for work
ing girls, lodging houses for men, homes
for discharged prisoners, and farm colo
nies for the poor, who want to help them
selves. There are three of these colonies
In the United States. They own a beau
tiful building In New York which is worth
several hundred thousand dollars. They
have among their supporters, some of the
wealthiest people In New York.
Christmas Day, they expect to serve
a dinner to 20,000 men In 'Madison Square
Garden in New York. They expect to
pack 3,000 baskets and send them out, each
basket having a full dinner for five peo
ple. This makes 15,000 mere. At their own
building, on West Fourteenth street, they
expect to entertain several thousand chil
dren. Fifty thousand dinners for men,
women and children eclipses the dinner
given by the Savannah people to the sol
diers one year ago. Thanksgiving Day.
While their comrades are giving so much
jby in New York, the corps In Savannah,
for lack of means, may not be able to do
much this year in this direction. When
once they are organized and have the sym
pathy of the people, they doubtless will
be able to do something of this kind.
‘•BOBS” AS A FIGHTEB.
Ex-Chaplain Says He Never Knows
When He is Defeated.
An ex-chepiain of the British army
writes to the New York Sun as follows:
Field Marshal Lord Roberts has a re
markable personality. In the first place he
is. like the great Wellington, an Irishman,
and never fails to waken the enthusiasm
of the sons of Erin. Then his name Is one
to charm with throughout the whole of
India, where he is feared and dreaded on
the one hand and Moved and honored on
the other from Cape Comorin to the Oxus
river.
“Bobs” never knows when he Is defeat
ed. I remember when he achieved his vic
tory in the Kuram valley; his officers de
clared that he was defeated, but Roberts
never knew it, and awoke next morning us
a victorious general ready for the fray.
ilo never forgets a face. A young friend
of mine, a lieutenl in the engineers, had
only met him once at a mess dinner, but
when he saluted him on a narrow moun
tain road between Peshawar and Jeiala
bad. Roberts reached out his hand and
said; "Well, IM , how are you, old fel
low?" Lieut. M. would have laid down hi*
life In the Service of tfce General from
that very hour.
When marching fiom Cabul to Camlahar
I was told that Roberta would never sit
down to his mess dinner until he had seen
the men properly fed. This might cause n
delay of the mess bugle for half an hour.
A friend of mine was In a tent adjoining
one filled with British soldiers after the
defeat at Mat wand, when he heard one of
the fellows exclaim; ”Bu oil for an hour
with Bobs!"
At the tjiiecn’s jubilee, when leard Rojg.

FHIENDS COST HIM $.*00,000.
Says He Paid for tile fonuty Court
House at Parvis, Miss.
From the New York Herald.
Because a men knocks a million dollars
out of the world with his fists in a trifle
less than twenty years it does not neces
sarily follow that he can afford to build
court houses for impoverished counties,
particularly if his convivial friends have
the wine habit firmly fastened upon them.
John L. Sullivan, sitting in the office of
“The Inferno,” his new place in Broad
way, reviewed with me yesterday his ca
reer since he took 1 his first shy into the
ring. Running through his personal pa
pers to make an estimate of his expenses,
the “big fellow” paused for a moment over
an entry made a little more than ten years
ago, just after he had won his memorable
battle with Kilrain. Then.with a sad shake
of his grizzled head, and aparently apro
pos of nothing, he said:
“That’s my court house. I paid for it,
and if justice were done I would be able
to go down there and cart it off. It cost
too much, anyway!”
Pressed for an explanation of his inco
herent remarks, the once champion of
champions clinched his teeth tighter into
the butt of his cigar, paused reminiscent
ly for a moment, and then proceeded.
“Well, you have asked how I succeeded
in spending a million dollars in a few
years and I suppose that this story will
serve to give you an Insight into the busi
ness. Here”—throwing a time-yellowed
paper across the table—"you see this en
try where I have charged myself with
SIB,OOO. That represents the big end of
the money I received for beating ‘Jake’
Kilrain. I made a present of it to some
‘friends' of mine down in Mississippi.
“You will remember that I was arrested
after the Richburg fight, which took place
July 8. 1889. I was taken at Nashville
and lugged back into Mississippi. Well,
they needed a court house at Purvis. They
never had been able to put one up, and
knowing that I had plenty of cash they
proceeded to put on the screws. I gave
up SIB,OOO in one lump. Purvis got its
court hou?e all right.”
"Still, what was SIB,OOO in those days?
Tf that was oil that I have ever been
robbed of I would be a wealthy man now
I have literally given away more than
$200,000. I never took a man's note in my
life. I have lent sums of $5,000 and $lO 000
more than once, and always held that if a
man wan not honest enough to pay his
note would have no effect unon him If
they thought they wehe beating me they
were mistaken. The money was a gift
I don’t now consider that I am any- man’s
creditor.
“My first earning In the ring was of lit
tle consequence. It was just nineteen
years ago this coming New Year’s that I
defeated John Donaldson in C'nclnmnt. I
liked to fight in those days, am in order
that I should not be disappointed T con

amounted to S7B. making mv net gain for
whipping Donaldson just S2B.
"I fought and whipped ’Paddy’ Bvnn at
Mississippi City. Feb. 7, IS 2. nnd received
for doing it $-1,500. which was ahoin hP
my due. I was robbed of (he balance On
my way home.l gave exhlhhlons at Chica

account. Heating Blade, the Maori was

Then Hie former chumplm sketched

doing the statues, and received *33.000 for
my work. I whipped Frank Herald n
Allegheny QJty and earned SB,OOO. a sa
loon in New York brought me in *1.3 x 0
Another exhibition with ‘Paddy’ Ryan!
this time in San Francisco, was worth
$15,000 to me. I toured with ’Pat” Sheedv
and we had *BO,OOO to divide. When £
broke my arm on ’Patsy’ Cardiff I was
given SIO,OOO as a balm. Then I went <o
England and brought $28,901 home with
me. A benefit in Boston added $5,00n p>
my total, and that brought me up to tha
fight with Kilirain, at Richburg, Miss
July 8, 1889. I retained the championship
and received $26,090 for doing the trick.
Then I bought my court house.
“Playing with Duncan Harrison in ’Hon
est Hearts and Willing Hands,’ I drew
$60,000, which we divided. Corbett and I
fought in New Orleans, Sept. 7, 1892. for
$46,000, winner take all. He got it. How
ever, my benefit in Madison Square Har
den started me off with $17,000 again. Two
seasons in 'The Man From Boston' were
worth $129,000, nnd I took $30,000 more out
of the play ’The True American.’
“Now, if you will make a total of thosa
amounts you will have something like a,
$1,000,000. How did I spend it? Well, put
down SIB,OOO for that court house. $200009
more given way; then add another $200,090
for entertainments of a liquid nature and
finally about SBO,OOO losses in gambling and
speculations. That disposes of half of it.
and that half I should have saved.
"I suppose my legitimate living expenses
have been about *290,000, and my fights
perhaps cost me SIOO,OOO in training and
kindred expenses. I have sunk about $200,-
009 in unfortunate business ventures.
“With a fighter money comes easy and
it goes the same way. I spent $5,000 train
ing for my battle with Corbett, and lost
$20,000 betting on myself. I always kept
a stable of trainers following me, and
they were a heavy expense.
"But it was being a good fellow that
broke me. I was the great and only John
L. Say, my boy, that title cost me enough
money to last an ordinary man a lifetime.
I was too easy. When someone would say
that I was the only one, it meant another
basket of wine. When another would sayi
that I never refused a friend a dollar,
and afterward asked me to lend him fifty!
he got a hundred.
“Then, too, I was slow. I was slow in
getting to the box office. The others got
there first, and the first count of receipts
was the largest. Was I robbed? Yes, I
was robbed. If I had what they took
from me I would be satisfied.
"However, I don’t regret it. I had my
fling, and I paid for it. I haven't touch
ed a drop of liquor for six month’, ard
am not going to drink again. I feel as well
as ever, and if I could lose a bit of fat t
would have another try tn the ring. Bat
that is out of the question. I am son,*
to try to make my business a sue ess,
and if I ever get another fortune thev wi t
have to break the United States to break
me. My money will go into bonds.”
Jim Corbett, who wrested the champion
ship from Sullivan, has also known th<j
upe and downs of life. He spent $8,509
getting himself into shape to be defeated
by Fitzsimmons, and lost $16,000 which ha
bet on himself In that fight. He receiv
ed $20,000 from the purse and $50,000 as hi*
share of the picture moneq. He told me
yesterday that his money, like Sullvan’s.
had gone in riotous living and in staking
his friends. Unlike John L., however, he
has never gone the limit. He still owns
his house, which he values at $70,000, and
has money otherwise invested.
“A pugilist,” said Corbett, “is a good
thing for every borrower in the land. We
have to give up. Sullivan has given away
a fortune, no doubt. If I had what is due
me I coukl buy a brick block with the
money. We are all spendthrifts. A man
with one good trainer can fit himself suffi
ciently well for any battle. But nowadays
we must have five or six trainers and
sparring partners. They are costly luxu
ries. Managers, too, are neceseary, but
expensive. I have divided half a million
dollars with my manager, while a man in
any other business would have been ablo
to have kept It all himself. It is the un
necessary expenses which keep a pugiils
broke.”
AN ARTIST’S FRENZY.
So Absorbed in I’uinting Tlint H
Froze His Hands.
From the Ladies’ Home Journal.
There is one unfinished picture brought
back from the Arctic by Frank W, Siokes,
the artist who accompanied the Peary re
lief expedition in 1892 and also the second
Peary expedition in 1893. This pictuie
was begun in the win'ter of 1893-94. On this
trip Lieut. Peary determined to supplant
coal with coal oil for fuel. He had a score
of barrels of petroleum stacked upon the
shores of Bowdotn bay, which was his
winter quarters. It so happened that be
fore the oil could be carried to a place of
safety a section of ice from a glacier broke
and fell in’io the bay. The fall caused a
mighty rush of waters, which broke tho
ice nnd dashed high u-p on the oppoate
beach, carrying away the barrels when
they receded.
The win'ter before, when coal was used,
the explorers’ houses were so warm they
had to open the doors to cool off. This
winter Mr. Stokes and George Clark, his
housemate, sat around their lamp, clad in
furs, unril the atmosphere became so close
the the lamp flickered and the door had
to be opened for a fresh supply of oxygen.
Mr. Stokes was provided with a complete
artist’s outfit, and utilized Ills days paint
ing the grand scenery surrounding the
bay. His favorite spot was the Ice Cols
'3,000 feet above the surrounding country.
Of course an artist cannot paint with
fur mittens on. So Mr. Stokes alternately
paintedvand warmed his hands In their fur
coverings. One day while painting this un
finished picture tie was seized with •*
frenzy of enthusiasm. He had secured .1
wonderful sky effect, and he made H'*
snow and Ice fairly glisten on his canvas.
Then ho started to put in the purple that
enveloped the distant peak.
"What's 'the matter?” asked Clark, no
ticing the artist’s delay.
’’The purple tube is frozen stiff.”
And so it was.
"Your fingers are white enough,” con
tinued Clerk.
Stokes looked down. His fingers wer
frost-bitten. It was some time before he
could resume his work, and this particular
picture never was finished. Still he value
it quite as highly as some of those ins
critics have praised.
