He Soy*— Or. Brunner Give* a Word of Explanation of ExcensSre Kwllmatf*. “I have never given my estimate of the population of fl* vannaii as .-’.OOO, Capt. Henry BFnn, Jr., supervisor of the census, yesterday. ‘What I dM say that the population might be from 52.000 to 54.000. but those figures were not given from any gov* mment census returns. They came from another source, an offi cial census of the city of Savannah that was taken in 1897.” For some time Capt. Plun has known that there was such a census taken in 1897, but he had said nothing about it. eimply assuming that it was practically correct and that the population shown by at was what the city was justly entitled to at that rime. This was 48,274. “Please note that the census was offi cial,” continued Capt. Blun, “having been taken by sanitary inspectors, the accred ited representatives of the health officer and the cits’ government. It was from this 48.274 that I d;yw my estimate cf from 52.000 to M.OOO, and not from the gov ernment returns, whicn have now gone on lo 'Washington, \here to be checked over and added up. I haw not the slightest idea from those return® as to what the official showing of the city’s population may be. That will remain with the peo ple at Washington. For oil 1 know, the population may be considerably more or considerably less than 52.0 X). “I have exercised every precaution and worked hard to secure a correct census. I4 m convinced that the enumerators did their work conscientiously and correctly, and that the census will be exact. At the expense ot considerable trouble and no lit tle pains, I adopted the precaution of checking the schedules furnished by the enumerators using the house numbers for the purpose. I visited the Mayor in the hope of securing some co-operation from him in thi* matter, as the house numbers were at hand, and the city might easily have furnished them, but my ef forts were unavailing. 1 had io have re course to the city directory, from which I managed to get the numbers. The checking was very effectual, and I am sure that no more accurate a census could have Keen taken. “About the Mayor’s charges of the cen sus enumeraiors having been incompe tent, Capt. Blun aid he. had but litile to add to his statements as to their efficiency and competency that have already ap peared. He explained that not the slight est political Influence could have been ex ercised in the selection of the enumer ators. and that the entire list was made tip of those whose application schedules had been satisfactorily flit and out. there having, therefore, been no necessity for including any whose abilities were shown as being insufficient for the work. The two colored women included in the li=t. he said, are teachers in the public schools, thoroughly capable of taking a census, and who did the vork well. Mayor Myers was seen by a representa tive of the Morning News, to whom he said that he did not expect, of his own initiative, to order a census taken by the police force or other city employes. The Council, he explained, might undertake such work in the effort to verify the re turns of the government census, hut he did not know’ that such a step was con templated. T rathe*- think it would be Useless for any practical purpose, he said, for the government would certainly not fecognfbe it, and all the satisfaction that •could be gained from it would be that of the citizen® in knowing that Savannah has more than the census shows. Officially. Ihe said, the population of Savannah wiii be known by whatever figures may b*- given by the enumeration taken by the government. ‘I am convinced,” said Mayor Myers, "that the census will be incorrect. Fully 25 per cent, of the city employes, I have ascertained, were not included nt nil among the names taken by the enumera tors. This was due to the fact that eqrr.e of the men employed were ineottfl petent I believe the population is be tween 58/100 and 60,000.” ! Just at this of the interview Health Officer \V. F. Brunner dropped Into the Mayor's office. "Do you know. Mr. Mayor." he asked, "that a census ■was taken by the sanitary inspectors un der the last admini-tration and that it was never made public?" The Mayor did not know it. “Well, that is true” contin- Dr. Brunner. "The ftopulation shown by It was 43,000 and some hundreds, but It was never Riven out. “I'll tell you where the trouble lies. Mr. Mayor, and where so many p r.-ons make their mistake in figuring upon the popu lation. Now take the east side of Whea ton strte:. runnlrß right along' the City line. You have ro idea how many <oeot>!e there are living just on the corporate limits. They are ihi"k. for they live crowded together. Then along the Waters Head there are about 2,500, and in other localities contiguous to th city there are a great many who might be understood as Savannah citizors and who are yet liv ing in Chatham county. I will venture to say that Cnatham county will show at least 70.030 by the official census. Many wili be surprised to find that there are so many living in the county beyond the corporate limits “The trouble is that we have not grown n single foot geographically since 1890. The population has increased, and there have been many people to remove to Savannah from the country and other places, but a large percentage has had lo find homes on the outskirts. Other rides have ex tended their corporate limits, taking in thickly-populated communities that have sprung up beyond where they form My extended, but Savannah has done none of that.” The census schedules have gone on to ■Washington. All from the city are in. though they were a little delayed owing to the checking system that was adopted by- Capt. Blun in the effort to insure ac curacy, this delay, by the way, having caused the census bureau at Washington to suggest that he use a little more celer ity in getting the returns in. Two or three schedules from outlying districts of the county are y-et to be sent on, but the people at Washington will have them within a few days, and then the work of the supervisor will have been completed.

The Seaboard Air Line will probably have to make a change in the floating deck it has established at the foot of Bull strest. City officials have concluded that the dock is 100 bulky, and it will have to be cut off some. Yesterday Mayor Myers addressed a let ter to Messrs. Mackall & Anderson, at torneys for the Seaboard, stating that .the d-ck had been constructed upon larger plans than were contemplated by the. city when permission for it to be placed at the Exchange dock was accorded. The attor neys were requested to decrease its pro portions. Mayor Myers observed that the dock projects so far from the steps leading up from the river that it greaily hampers their use by those who have been accus tom, and to land at that point in small boats. He noticed, moreover, that the dork ap pears to be several times as large as the Seaboard Air Line ferry boat, being ca pable of holding a dozen times as many passengtrs as the steamer can carry.

Knights of Py thias. celebrat and its ninth anniversary last night hy a banquet at which were present besides many knights who came to Savannah recently on the excursion over the Central, many cf the hiehest of ficers of the state. The guest of the even ing was Grand Chancellor Milton E. Smith of Macon who is lure cn hi annual visit. The lodge was called to order about 9 o'clock, and af era short business meet ing, adjourned to the banquet hall where a supper had been prepared by Mrs. M. E. Robinson, ass.sUd by the wives of oth*r members of the lodge. The tables had been arrang'd in the form of a tri angle. the insignia of the order, and were tastefully dec rated v.i h flowers and the colors of the ledg*. r* and, yellow' and blue. District Deputy Joseph M. Dreyer pre sided as toast master. The supper over, in a short address ho' thanked the breth ren for the honor that had been conferred on him in appointing him to the position of toastmaster particularly when the meeting was honored hy the presence of so distinguished a visitor as the Grand Chancellor. Referring to the fact that it was the anniversary of the lodge, ho drew the attention of tlx* nu mbers to the fact that until a short time ago Savannah Lodge had been named the baby lodge, hut that now, so far had it outgrown this appellation, that not only was ii the larg est lodge in the city, but the banner lodge of the stale. To those who had been pres ent at the last me- ting when the minutes were readmit was unecessary, he said, to go into details as to its condition. It was sufficient to say that the lodge was in ex cellent financial condition and had 219 members, the largest membership of any lodge in the state. Savannah Lodge, he continued, is proud to have for its guest Grand Chancellor Smith, who will now ad dress you. “Officers and Members of Savannah Lodge and Brother Knights.” said Mr. Smith, “It affords me great pleasure both as grand chancellor and as a plain knight to sir in a lodge where are exemplified in so remarkable a. degree the grand tenets of the order, ‘Friendship, Charity and Benevolence.’ I had no knowledge of this entertainment, nor was I aware that this was your ninth anniversary; my brother, the toastmaster, has said that yau came here for the purpose of entertaining me, hut I know that you come here for an other purpose, and I will not detain you. I want to say, however, that I am proud of Savannah Lodge, and that I can under hand and appreciate the cause of her growth and prosperity; the noble and beautiful women who have prepared this spread are the cause of them both, fot where women take an active interest in Pythianism there are found the prosperous and progresive lodges. Therefore to the ladies is due the credit for your growth and excellent condition.” Past Grand Chancellor Schtzmin need ed no introduction, said Mr. Dreyer, as ho is known to everybody. Mr. Sofiatz man assumed a confidential tone and af ter thanking the ladies for the entertain ment spoke interestingly on the state of the order in Georgia, interspersing his re marks with many humorous allu sions that were thoroughly appreciat ed by his audience. In no state, he said, did he know of either grand or subordin ate lodges that would compare with those of Georgia, nor in Georgia did he know’ of any lodge -that would compare with Savannah Lodge. In twenty-seven years’ experience as a member of the order he knew' of no state that deserved so much credit in Pythianism as did Georgia, for in no other state that he knew of could be found as members of the order men from the supreme bench and the gover norship down through the various voca tions of the workingman of good an element of the population was enrolled within the ranks of the or der in this state. Savannah, he continued, has always hern tho seat of the Grand Lodge ani no city more deserves the honor. Atlanta claims the largest number of members and tho most money, but in no city in th s ate can be shown such a temple as the one you have in this citv. He concluded with a tribute to Mr. Smith, who, he said, had w'orked for the order day in and day out. and had never been found wanting when called on. “You can trust him.” he said, “for I trust him. and I'm naturally suspicious of my friends.” He also complimented Mr. W. T. Leo pold. grand keeper of the records and seals. Mr. Leopold, the next speaker, was in troduced by the toastmaster as the "father of Savannah Lodge.” His arising to speak was greeted with applause. "I have been charged,” he said, “with being the father of ’Savannah Lodge; children. I greet you.” Continuing, he said that he was proud of the lodge and the part that he had taken in Its organization, for it started out with 67 charter members, the largest number, save one, ever pre sented to the grand chancellor. ”1 have watched its progress and record and hove found it ever first and foremost in every thing that pertains to Pythianism in Sa vannah. It has ever been blessed with good officers to whose efforts its continued prosperity is due, but to no man on its, roll is it so much indebted as the smallest man on it. M. E. Robinson, for,” he continued faceti ously, "late and early that diminutive lit tle object is working for Savannah Lodge, and,” he kept on in the same strain, "to this he owes the only infelicities of his married life, for his wife is kept contin ually busy sewing in the pockets that he has worn out in carrying around applica tion blanks for Savannah Lodge." Mr. Leopold continued his remarks by reviewing the financial condilion of the lodge, which shows, after having paid off all Indebtedness, assets of $4,014.18. SENTENCE,!) TO FIVE YEARS.

This medal, which is very handsome, has arrived, and -Mr. Theus will present it to the Ogle thorpes this afternoon. 1 he medal will be received on behalf of the company by Lieut. D. C. Barrow, who is in command during Capr. Gordon's ab sence abroad. It w’ill not be presented to a member of the command this afternoon, as comparative records of attendance upon drills and assemblies yet remain to' b' made up. Until they arc completed, Lieut.

The Oglethorpes count confidently upon sixty members for the parade, and the officers will be disappointed if they have fewer. It is expected that a number of the war veterans, as well as members of other classes, will join with the active men in celebrating this, rhe greatest day in the calendar for the command.

The Mayor disapproved of the plan to establish the monuments in the grass plots that help to beautify Oglethrope avenue, believing that the streets are no places for monuments.

ITS GOLDEN JUBILEE DAY. CATHOLICS DID NOT CELEBRATE. SEMI-CENTENNIAL OF DIOCESE. The Dedication of the Xew Cathedral in October AA'ill Mark Instead the I’nMMinc; of the Jubilee Year—Fnm ou* Prelute* AA'ho Have Presided Over the Dewtinie* of the.Dioce*e for Half a Century. Yesterday was the fiftieth anniversary of the Roman Catholic diocese of Savan nah—its golden jubilee. There was no pub lic celebration of the anniversary. Bishop Kelley is absent from the diocese, though he will return to-morrow, and no prepar ation having been made to commemorate the founding of the See. The dedication of the new’ Cathedral—the domus of the diocese—will take placfe in October and in a sense that occasion will mark the pass ing of the golden jubilee year. The diocese of Savannah was founded by Pope Pius IX, July 19, ISSO. Of the seven bishops who have presided over its desti nies one received a cardinal’s hat at Rome, and another rose to the pinnacle of priestly power as Archbishop of Ore gon. But It is not generally known, that the priest who was originally chosen to govern the diocese, Rev. John P. O’Dwyer, O. S. A., a member of the great Augusti nian order, never saw its boundaries; be cause, strange to say, his mind collapsed a few r days before the time set apart for his consecration; and thus, instead of mounting the throne at the Savannah Ca thedral, as its first incumbent, he found a tomp in the earth of old St. Augustine’s Church at Philadelphia, where the stone that covers him may yet be traced. Such are human hopes, doomed so frequent to “dust and ashes.” Bishop Persico, afterwards Cardinal, was the prelate who planned the building of th# 1 noble Cathedral, from the ruins of which have risen the present edifice. Bishop Persico was from South Caro lina and assumed control of the See in 1870. He differed frcfhi all his predecessors in the fact that at the time of his appoint ment he had already been a bishop for many years, having been consecrated Bishop of Bombay, India, in the ’sos. whit’lwhe resigned owing to impaired health and the climate of that country. He connected himself with the See of Charleston, os missionary at Edgefield, in 1867, and for several years was a *hlued auxiliary to the late Bishop Lynch, who, like all the prelates of the South after the Civil War, which raged so fiercely from ’6l to ’65, had much “up-hill work’’ to do in rebuilding his fallen temples and ruined institutions, around the stones of Which time had wrapped the moss and ivy with manifest compunction. Bishop Persico was an Italian of commanding presence, who made his mark as Bishop of Savannah and who won the respect and affection of all with whom he came in contact. The greatest work of his incum bency was no doubt the commencement of a cathedral, which ranked for many years among the noblest fanes, but which like numerous fabrics reared by mortal arms, was destined to fade away in tire and smoke, leaving no vestige of its love liness behind except dismantled walls and columns. Savannah’s late cathedral stood unexcelled amid the churches of the South, as it will yet stand unexcelled •among them, after its restoration is com- Bishop Persico was its founder, but his successor. Bishop Gross, finished Its massive proportions and dedicated it to God-an event indelibly written upon the annals of the See. Desiring to return once more to the scenes of his childhood and spend his de-' cfining years in Italy. Bishop Persico re signed his diocese in 1572, and was suc ceeded by Rev. William Henry Gross C SS R., a member of the Redemptorist Order, then stationed at Boston. Mass, hut by birth a Baltimorean. On April 27* 1873. this celebrated churchman was con secrated at the Cathedral of Baltimore, and i< is a noteworthy fact that one of his assistant consecrarors” was the late Bishop Becker, then the incumbent of Wilmington, Del., who was transferred to Savannah thirteen years afterward and who was the predecessor of the present Bishop KeHey. HELP FOR STARVING INDIA. Southern Hank Will Receive Contri butions to Relief Fnnd. The India Famine Relief movement is assuming large proportions. The work of relief for the famine-stricken people has been going on for some time under the direction of various organizations. The New York committee of 100 on Indian Famine Belief, which has undertaken the work under the direction of Mr. William E. Dodge as chairman, is a thoroughly organized movement with the loading men of New York composing it. In its appeal the committee says: “It is the appeal of the starving. Drought has destroyed the harvests and burned every green thing. More than 60,- 000,000 are hungry. From lack of food 10 - OCO.OOO are each day face lo face with death. The babe starves in the arms of its starving mother. And the sufferers are practically at our doors. Instant relief can be cabled from favored America to famished India. From two to five cents a day will save a life. The intensity of the famine increases. The government of In dia is steadily providing for 6,000,000. Yet by far the highest death-rate is in the hundreds of native states where govern ment has least control. Even if rains come soon, it will be months before new harvests can be gathered. The present relief, accordingly, is wholly insufficient. All expressed wishes of donors will be faithfully carried oul. The committee it self is in cable communication with the India authorities, the relief agencies, the famine districts, the missionaries. It con stantly seeks the most faithful, economi cal channels of distribution. It bears in mind the stricken native states. It does not overlook the needy mothers and chil dren. God and humanity call. Feed the starving. Save the dying.” The Southern Bank of this city has un dertaken the work of receiving subscrip tions, which will be forwarded to the committee. Since June the W. C. T. U., assisted l y the lady members of the Christian Church and some other charitably disposed ladies, has been at work securing clothes to be sent to the famine sufferers. Mrs. Webb, who has ben instrumental in the carrying on of the work, said last night that the ef forts of the ladies had been most success ful and that sometime during the week the result of their efforts, sixty-three complete costumes, consisting each of a skirt and achadar, or veil, will be sent to Chicago whence they will be forwarded without further cost to India to some tnisaionarv statlon to be distributed. The ladles are indebted to an who assisted them, she said, but feel particularly Indebted to an un known giver or an entire bolt of cloth. Besides the work of securing garments by the W. F. 'r. IT. other efforts on behalf of the famine sufferers have been and arc being made in ihe city. Collections have been taken up in many of Ihe churches, and persons who have not been reached in this way and may wish to contribute to the fund can now leave their contributions at the Southern Bank.
