GIRL THOUGHT “TEDDY”
WAS AN HONOR TITLE
fix-PresIdent Shocked by a New
Arrival lrom Sweden.
New York, Sep, 3.—A Denver
■dispatch to the World says: While
Col, Roosevelt was in Cheyenne he
stopped at the Inter-Ocean hotel.
His meals were served to him in his
rooms, and as servitor he had a
Swedish girl who had been in this
country but a short time.
Whenever he asked the girl a
question she answered “No, Teddy”
or “Yes, Teddy,” to the amaze
ment of the colonel.
Her manner was so ingenuous,
however, that he decided that she
was innocent of intentional disre
spect. Finally he made inquiries
and thetrystery was solved.
The girl thought that “Teddy,”
-which she had heard so frequently,
was “some sort of title, such as
king. ’ ’
He laughed heartily when he
heard the explanation.
The Union Meetings at Morven
Church*
The good accomplished by what
is known among Baptist churches
as union meetings has again been
demonstrated by the good done at
the union meeting held with tho
Morven Baptist church, July 29-31.
The subjects, “Final Preservation,”
'“Baptism,” “The Lord : s Supper”
“Election,” and the “Obligation
•of the churches to know and teach
the Scriptures,” were ably handled.
Among others who were present
and contributed to the edification
of the saints were: Dr. Robert II.
Harris, the pastor at Cairo, Ga.;
Dr. Joe A. Wynne, the pastor at
Quitman, Dr. J. G. McCall, of
Quitman; Rev. J. D. Evans, now
of Atlanta; Rev. W, Clark, of near
Norman Park. The attendance
was large on Saturday and Sunday.
The Morven church and paster
and messengers greally. appreciated
the presence of Dr. Robert H. Har
ds and the power and plainness
with which he spoke upon the doc
trines Of the church, as Baptists
hold it. Here such teaching and
instruction were greatly needed,
ard his addresses delivered in such
an attractive, easily comprehended
and convincing (way will be long re
membered and do lasting good.
Such a church as his at Cairo, and
they are truly noble brethren,
should recognize first that they have
a “man sent from God,” next that
it is “a grace given them” to sup
port such a pastor, who, while he
chiefly “feeds his own flock” should
be allowed occasionally to minister
to others also.—Christian Index.

TO "SLEUTH”
Atlanta Detectives Will Refuse
To Do It.

livered to-day, requested the police
to give him information as to all

that the congressmen had some
thing to do with the interruptions
at his meeting at the auditorium,
and is desirous of seeing if he can
not fasten the fault in part at least
upon him.
The police will decline to conform
to the request, Chief Jennings stat
ing that it is no business of the de
partment to look up Mr. Hard
wick’s doings for the benefit of Mr.
