NEW Y. M. C. A. BUILDINGS
Are Belli a; Built VII Over the Coun
try.
The year 1900 is witnessing great strides
in the building movement by the Young
Men’s Christian Associations all over the
country. Dayton, 0., Is planning for a
$300,000 building, to take the place of Its
present Y. M. C. A. building, which the
association has outgrown; Scranton, Pa.,
is doing the same with plans for a $200,0n0
building. Toledo. New Haven and Roch
ester, also expect to have new buildings.
Nearer home, the Columbia. S. C., Asso
ciation has just completed a very hand
some $20,000 building for Its young men,
and Mucon is now erecting a building, the
Southern Railway having given si.noo to
wards the fund, and the business men of
Macon having responded liberally to the
needs of the young men.
“A Single Fact
Is worth a shipload of argument." What
shall be said, then, of thousands of facts?
Every cure by Hood s Sarsaparilla Is a

Thousands and thousands of such facts
prove that Hood’s Sarsaparilla will cure
all diseases caused or promoted by im

Old.
The contractors for the new Cathedral
of St. John the Baptist, Messrs. Miles
& Bradt, have practically completed their
work and expect to finish k entirely this
week. The Cathedral is now complete
so far as the building is concerned, inte
rior and exterior.
Practically all of the interior furnish
ing remains to be done yet, however, in
cluding the altars, upon which work is
now going on, the pews, the organ, the
stained glass windows, the stations of
the cross and the various ornaments
which go to the proper equipment and
decoration of a cathedral.
Some of this work is in progress, but
much of the material is not expected to
arrive before July, and as several weeks
will be required to put ‘4 in place and
give the finishing touches, it is not ex
pected that the church will be ready for
dedication before the early full.
The building has been cleared, however,
of all the scaffolding and other obstruc
tions and now presents a very handsome
appearance. The view is better now
probably than k will be when the pews,
organ, stained windows and other ac
cessories hove been added, being entire
ly unobstructed and the high windows
furnishing ample light. The light cream
color of the ceiling with the ivory tone
of the branching arches gives a tine
light effect which will be of advantage
when the colored windows have been
added. In the arches above the win
dow's the color is buff shading to a light
terracotta on the walls. The w*ains

The magnificent effect the flee aches

which is in imitation of golden tape try
upon a red background. A wde frieze
band in light colors encircles the walls
underneath the arches. The tall columns
are in bronze with gilt capitals.
A Morning News reporter who visited
the church yesterday afternoon in com
pany with Bishop Kelley found the work
men engaged upon the two alfnrs in the
apses on either side of the high altar.
These are known as the altars of the
sacred heart and of the Blessed Virgin.
The material for the high altar, which
is a me,mortal to Bishop Becker, is not
expected until July, and will require sev
eral weeks to erect. Two of the win
dows of Ihe apse of the Sacred Heart
altar have arrived and were being but
in place yesterday. Tn design, coloring
and finish they are very handsome. In
common with all of the other stained win
dows of the church, they were ordered
from Innsbruck, In the Austrian Tyrol.
As the designs for some of the win
dows have not been finally approved of,
it will be some time yet before nil the
colored windows arrive. The three large
windows over the high altar, which will
be the handsomest of all, will represent
scenes in the life of St. John the Bap
tist. These windows are the gift of Cap*.
John Flannery, being memorials to his
deceased wife and to Capt. and Mrs.
McMahon.
The organ, which Is now being con
structed by Brown & Cos. of Wilming
ton, Del., will be very large, entirely
filling the large arch under the choir
gallery and obscuring Ihe rose window
of this arch from interior view. The
organ will cost $7,000, and when com
pleted will be one of the finest in the
South. The gallery Is to be reserved en
tirely for the choir, and will not be open
A POPULAR MISTAKE
BeirnrrtliiK Remedies for Dyspepsia
unit Indißcstiun.
The national disease of Americans is In
digestion or in its chronic form dyspep
sia. and for the very reason that it is so
common many people neglect taking prop
er treatment for what they consider trifl
ing stomach trouble, when as a matter
of fact indigestion lays the foundation lor
many Incurable diseases. No person with
a vigoious, jiealthy s'omach will fall a vic
tim to consumption. Many kidney diseas
es and heart troubles date their beginning
from poor digestion; thin, nervous people
are really so because their stomachs are
out of gear, weary, languid, faded out
women owe their condition to imperfect
digestion.
When nearly every person you meet is
afflicted with weak digestion It Is not
surprising that nearly every secret pat
ent medicine on the market claims to be a
cure for dyspepsia, as well as a score of
other troubles, when, lu fact, as
Dr. Werthier says. th-re Is but
one genuine dyspepsia cure which
is perfectly safe nnd reliable,
and moreover, this remedy is not a pat
ent medicine, but It is a scientific combi
nation of Lure pepsin (free from animal
matter), vegetable essences, fruit salts and
bismuth. It is sold by druggists under
name of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. No
extravagant claims are made for them,
but for indigestion or any stomach trouble.
Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets are far ahead
of any remedy yet discovered. They act
on ihe food eaten, no dieting is necessary,
simply eat all Uhe wholesome food you
want anti these tablets will digest It. A
cure results, because all the stomach
needs is a rest, which Smart's Dyspepsia
Tablets give by the work ol dlges

OTHER DOCTORS FAIL.

#
Dr. Hathaway Alone Is Know n as the Great
Physicians Who Cures All Forms
of Chronic Diseases.
■CI
J . .KWIOI ~ ,TH A .. n.'
Other specialists frankly and publicly
confess that they cannot cure the cases
which Dr. Hathaway cure.
"Dr. Hathaway cured me and I 1 elieve
t*hai he can cure you. I tri and other s ec
iaiists hut they failed 10 cure. They
seemed to care more about my money than
my case.”
This is what Dr. Hathaway’s patients
say. They tell this to their friends, and
in this way one patient brings many
others to ‘The doctor who cures.”
It is this which has given Dr. Hath iwav
his enormous practice—a practice larger
than that of all other specialists in the
South combined.
Dr. Hathaway’s diagnosis is infallible.
He makes no experiments. When h*
treats a ease he treats it for the diseased
condition which exis's. This i = why he
cures; this is why his cure? come about
so speedily; this is why his cures are per
manent.
WE. A KEYED MANLY FUNCTIONS.
Dr. Hathaw*ay’s tren mont for that ter
rible condition of mental and 1 bodily weak
ness brought about by youthful ignorance,
and folly or by excesses in later life is
unlike all others. It is not as mo ! t others
are, simply a stimulant which acts for a
few days and then leaves the poor deluded
patient in worse conduion than be r ore.
Dr. Hathaway’s treatment it
on every weakened portion of the body.
It builds up nerve 'issue and muscular
strength and revitalizes the whole body.
Every organ is. put in ,-mch condition that
it can perform naturally its proper func
tions. All unnatural losses and drains are
stopped. The eye becomes bright and the
brain clear. Youth returns to the pre
maturely old body. There is no more lam-®
back or shambling gait; there is no mjre
to the congregation, as was formerly the
case.
The large bell, which arrived recently
frotn Baltimore, has been hung in the
southern tower and was blessed yester
day by Bishop Kelley. The bell is by Mc-
Shane & Cos. of Baltimore, and with lis
furnishings -weighs 4.700 pounds. It is
the gift of Miss Mamie G. Bennett, being
a memorial to her father and mother.
Two small aliars have been partially In
stalled In- the deep niches in the walls of
the north and south ends of the transept.
One is a memorial to the late Archbishop
Gross and the other a memorial by Capt.
Blun to his deceased daughter. With ihe
dark crimson background of the niches
the effect will be very handsome.
An attractive feature of the church will
be the stations of the cross, which will
be of carved wood. They have been or
dered from Munich and are expected in
July. The stations will rest on brackets
on the walls and will be sheltered by can
opies. The beautiful baptismal font, the
gift of Miss Kehoe, will be placed on the
left of the main entrance. The vestibule
is somewhat larger than in the old church
and is open throughout. The echo of the
church Is a very noticeable feature at
present, but it is hoped that when the fur
nishings have been installed that this ef
fect will be destroyed.
It will he a very handsome edifice In
deed whleh will be dedicated this fall by
the new Bishop of Savannah, and one
which the Catholics of Savannah and of
the entire state will have good reason to
be proud. Altogether it is estimated that
the cost of the restoration will be some
where between $125,000 and $150,000.
HASF.BtLL SEASON WILL OPEN.
Summer Prospects for the National
Game Are Looking Bright.
The baseball season will open on Sat
urday, June 2, when a picked team, com
posed of the best talent in the city, will
cross bats with the crack Artillery nine,
stationed at the garrison on Tybee Island.
The game Is to be played for the benefit
of the Plumbers' Association, and will un
doubtedly be well attended.
The Garrison team is said to be a good
one, and they will do their utmost to lower
the colors of the home club, and while
Ihe Savennnh beys are not claiming a
victory, the "fans" may rest assured that
the Garrison team will confront a hard
proposition.
Every indication points to a successful
ball season, and with this fact in view,
Mr. C. A. Pen ton has organized a Sa
vonnah Baseball Club, and has thus far
arranged games with Fernandina, on
June 11 and 12, and Jacksonville, on Juno
18, 19 and 20, the games to be played
at those places. Mr. Ponton promises the
"fans" a good clean article of baseball,
nnd Judging from the personnel of his
team, which is made up of the very best
material in the city, the baseball-loving
public will be treated to some good ex
hibitions of the national game.
The Bolton Street Park Is being put in
•thorough repair, and the baseball out
look for the summer is brighter than it
h;s been heretofore.
Frank Butler Is monoglng the Fernan
dinn Club, where he is playing his usual
hrlldant game. Butler was up here last
week lo arrange games with the Sa
vannah Club.
The home players are out every after
noon at practice on the ball grounds.

From the New York Sun.
“Speaking of cockroaches at sea,” said
the old captain, “I should like to tell you
about the famous fight we had with them
in the ship Guiding Star on her trip from
Boston to San Francisco in 1864-65. I’ll
tell you the story, but, mind you, I won’t
have my name used; I think you will not
blame me for that, as the captain of the
Guidng Star, a man named Small, got the
title ‘Cockroach’ for life, and I would
rather not take the chances of stirring
up my friends to press my rights of in
heritance to the nickname, I being,, so far
as I am aware, the only person now living
who was in that fight.
"Well may you call it fight. On the long
voyage of 180 days we several times
thought we should have to give up to the
enemy. They ate everything that we did,
except onions, and many other things be
sides. A pair of children’s shoes that were
in our cargo are on exhibition in the nat
ural history rooms In this city and show
how the roaches ate away everything but
the soles and the brass tips. There was
a record on the log hook where we dispos
ed of eighteen barrels of the insects, and
that was only a part. I will not dwell up
on the size of the creatures, for that was
a feature not so important as their great
number. They were, however." said the
captain, holding up a stocky right hand,
“as large as my little finger.
Came Aboard at Calcutta.
“To get at the beginning of the trou
ble, I must go back to some of the pre
vious trips of the Guiding Sttr, when she
was running between Boston and Calcutta.
It was at the latter place tlx it she took
on board the passengers whicl made the
trouble. They got aboard in the rice and
they thrived. The trips for the most part
left us at the Boston end during the warm
season and the circumstances served to
foster the things. Such cold as we have
here in winter would have been enough
to kill most of them. They first became
seriously troublesome on the pf ssage out
to the Indies in 1863. We had in a cargo of
ice and lumber, and the cockrcajhes, not
being built so as to subsist on either of
these commodities, sought the upper decks.
The insection question at once (resented
itself as a most serious one. Wl r on the
cockroaches was begun only a ew days
out. The mode of attack was to use
cracker tins, with molasses for bait. With
this favorite food as an inducement, the
insects entered the tin through a small,
square hole cut in the cover, ar 1 once in,
there was no escape for them. By using
the greatest precautions the ) assengers
managed to keep their cabins pretty well
cleared of the Insects. Before we got Into
port the cockroaches had begun to crawl
up into the rigging in places, and'had eat
en around the eyes so badly tha the ropes
had to be replaced.'
"On our return trip we had our usual
cargo of rice and that attracted the cock
roaches, so we did not have so much trou
ble from them as on the way o)it. It would
have been better for us If v c had had
more of them, as by the time v'e got back
borne we hod forgotten the worst of It.
It Is just that way with the seafaring ninn
—time fixes him; he remembers only the
agreeable nnd lets the rest go Many a
high-handed piece of business .akes place
©n the outward bound trips that no ca;>-
taln would think of committing on the
return trip. On the home st-etch it Is,
'Here, son,’ and 'Come, my ir. an.’
Tlie Skipper’* Mistake.
“Before starling on our San Francisco
run there was some question -if It would
not b advisable to scuttle the ship and
drown out the pests. Capt. Small was
coins to take her out. H* suki. ‘Oh. do.

I guess I can take care of them all right!
So it went that way.
"By the time we had got past the
equator he saw he Bad made a mistake.
He didn't say much about it, and he didn’t
have to, as there wasn't a man of us but
knew what to expect. The enemy had
got into our stores. They had begun on o'tr
potatoes, turnips and carrots. In fact
they were everywhere. We had to in
spect and' sift the flour regularly. The
number of traps was doubled and oil hands
were set to work with spankers made of a
square piece of leather attached to a
stick like great, fly-whackers. Capt.
Small was the first to call my attention
to the noise the cockroaches made, espe
cially on hot nights. We could detect
them gnawing and crunching away, and
by placing one’s ear to one of the ventila
tors qne could hear them very clearly.
“The days came along, one after anoth
er, with the ceaseless task of fighting the
cockroaches before us. To give you an
Idea of the way the trip dragged you may
know that we were twenty-nine days get
ting around Cnpe Horn—that is, from 50
degrees around to 50 degrees on the Pa
cific side. Then, again, off Robinson Cru
soe’s Island we drifted about for six
weeks. It was there we began to fear
the worst. We could not make a port
along there anywhere, as we were too
far off shore. It seemed just as well to
keep on our course.
"Our water became affected and it did
no good to boil it. We kept on using
the traps, as many as we could handle.
We had jars strung up to the dunnage
wood, with molasses for bait, as in the
tins. When a trap got filled we scalded
it and turned the-contents into barrels
and then emptied them. In that way we
got some record of our work.
“When finally we got into San Francisco
we had been out frrm Oct. 4,18. H, to
March 4. 1865. The news of our experience
soon got abroad and people came down
to the whatf and wanted s uvenlrs. Some
even brought boxes with them that they
might preserve a cockroach al ve, and es
pecially In demand tvere the white ones.
When it came to overhauling the cargo
we found things in a bad stale. Some of
ihe cases of sho'S’had become asylums
for the insects, the cockroaches having
laid their eggs directly in the cracks of
the covers, so that the little cockroaches
were enabled to crawl Inside. There (hey
subsisted on leather, imprisoned, When
opened ihe boxed showed colonies still at
work, or extinct, if the food supply had
been exhausted. The roaches ate into rho
leather finishings cf Ihe four or five ba
louih S'we had aboard They also ate a
lot of star can lies nrd horn buttons and
of oil clothes they w re particularly fond.
The only way we could save the oil clothes
was to keep them picked away when not
lu use, and that, of course, was about the
worst treatment for them, as they got
very sticky when wadded up.
"Capt. Small advertised an offer nf SSV)
fer some chemical that would destroy the
roach's. Everything presented failed, al
though one of the Son Francisco chemists
made an outlay of over S7O In the attempt.
We unloaded and made an investigation
as to the damage bn the cargo. Had It
been shown that the insects came aboard
with the cargo we should not have heen
held responsible for the damage As it
watt clear that the roaches we had were
not natives of Boston the only thing to
do was to pay.
"We sailed in ballast for the Chinche
Islands,, and the captain swore for ven
geance. We had recovered while in port
seme cf our etrerg t, and courage-some
had losr thirty rounds on the tiipout-and
we pitched into the work of extermina
tion. There was a much better opportun
ity of getting at the insects than before
and we had made great inroads on them
by the time we had reached the islands.
Capt. fmall there got his title of ‘coek
roaeh.' The name ntvtr al ogether desert
