WILL SAIL FOR CUPS
gIANY OR AFT WILI. M AKE WIL
MINGTON RIVER LIVELY.
REGATTA NEXT THURSDAY.
ARRANGEMENTS for a pleasant
DAY HAVE BEEN MADE.
jrichti of the First Class Will Cross
the Line at 11:30 O'clock—There
Will Be Three Classes, With a Cap
and a Pennant the First Prise In
Each-Boats That Have Been En
tered—Courses Over Which They
Will Sail—After the Sailing Races,
Launches of Three Classes Will
Race— Plans for a “One Design
Class.''
Everything 1 now points to an extremely
pleasant day for the members of the Sa
tannah, Yacht Club and their guests who
follow or participate In the annual re
gatta next Thursday. The Sailing Com
mittee and the Regetta Committee have
teen busy with their preparations, and all
have been about perfected.
The races will start at 11:30 o'clock,
when the boats of the first clasa will cross
the line. The Sailing Committee will give
the captain of each 'boat that enters the
races printed instructions before the re
gatta, so that there need be no difficulty
about understanding the terms of. the
races.
Not upon the races alone will the great
crowd that Is expected to be at the Yacht
Club, and upon Its chartered steamers de
pend for entertainment, for the commit
tees have seen to it that there will be
more than the excitement of the sport
to interest them. A band of music will
be upon one of the steamers, and ice
cream and refreshments will be served
free to members and their guests. Danc
ing, too, will be a recrea
tion for all who care to indulge In It
upon the return to the club house after
the races.
The crowds of spectators will follow
the racing yachts aboard the steamers
Alpha and Clifton. The Sailing Commit
tee, consisting of Mr. Albert Wylly,
chairman, Mr. Harry Straohan and Mr.
John Bryan, will probably be aboard the
steamer Tybee, provided she is in condi
tion by that time. If not, they and the
Commodore, Mr. Julian Schley, will be
aboard tne Clifton. The steamers will
leave Savannah at 9 o'clock in the morn
ing, and club members and guests who
so desire may make the trip to the Club
House aboard them. Any who would pre
fer to take the shorter trip by car or
other vehicles are at liberty to do so,
joining the steamer parties at the Club
House.
The boats entering the regatta will be
divided Into three classes, and in each of
the classes there will be a first prize,
consisting of a silver cup and a pennant,
both to become the property of the win
ning boats. Some well-known craft
have been entered already and
there Is a sufficiently long card to Insure
excellent sport.
The first class will be for cabin yachts.
The entries thus far are the Tttanla, the
CWonsoon and the Lucile. None of these
3s a Savannah boat, though each is owned
by a member of the Savannah Yacht Club.
The Tltania Is owned by Commodore
Henry Tucker of ttie Carolina Yacht Club
of Charleston, and no introduction to Sa
vannah yachtsmen is required of her.
6he won the cup from Charleston for the
6avannah club one year, when she was
entered against the Carolina Yacht Club’s
boat. The Monsoon Is owned by Mr.
Frank Strachan of Brunswick. It will be
recalled that she was talked of as a pos
sible contest against the Dragoon and the
Marls last summer In the cup races. The
Bucile Is another Brunswick boat, owned
by Mr. H. H. Raymond and Mr. Frank
D. Aiken. The Dragoon will not be en
tered. She Is now being put in condition
to be disposed of by the syndicate owning
her. ,
The course of the cabin yachts will
be from, the club house to the Cabbage
Island spit buoy, rounding It, and re
turning to the starting point, a distance
of twenty miles. This puts the start
end the finish In plain view of spectators
at the club house, as will be the case
with all the races.
In the second class will be entered the
open yachts. There have thus far been
entered In this class the Henrietta, own
ed by Mr. Henry Backus; the Ulee, own
ed by Mr. Julian Schley; the Constance,
owned by Mr. John J. O’Neill, and the
1 nddne, owned by Mr. Frank Ferguson,
j The Henrietta Is looked upon as the win
ner, for they say she can sail away from
•ther boats as If they were anchored.
The Lilee won out two yeaTs ago. how
ever. and her chances are regarded as
good The Undine, too, was the prise
winner for a number of years. The
e>uie of the open yachts will be from
the club house to a stake boat off Joe’s
Cut, rounding It and returning to the
club house, fifteen miles.
The third class will be for larks and
fiat-bottomed batteauoc. It Is expected
that there will be some ten entries In this
The Sea Gull, owned by Master
arles Mills, Is one of the larks enter
ed The course will be ten miles long,
tanning from the club house to and round-

With a race In which such boats are en
tered, Commodore Schley contends, the
question of superiority would depend, not
upon the boat, but upon the way In which
she was handled. Yachting ability would
then tell, and those handling the boats
w-ould be put to it to practice soiling. With
such a plan In operation, there would be
a rejuvenation of yachting. New Orleans
and other places have made such a plan
effective, and the results have been all
that -Was expected.

ISLE OF HOPE'S SEASON.
Semi-Weekly Dance* to Begin Tues
day and Last All Summer.
The season at Isle of Hope, always one
of the most popular resorts near Savan
nah, has already begun and promises to
be one of the best and most prosperous
In years. Already all of the homes on
the bluffs are occupied, and Messrs. Bar
bee and Brandy are making preparations
to begin the regular semi-weekly dances
which were so liberally patronized last
summer. These affairs will be begun
Tuesday, and will be given on Tuesday
and Friday of each week during the
months of June. July, August and Sep
tember. Rosenfeld’s orchestra has been en
gaged to furnish the music.
As was the case Jast year there will
be a series of guessing contests each
dance night and the awards will be un
usually handsome and valuable. Special
schedules will be run on these nights.
Isle of Hope Is also one of the most pop
ular bathing resorts of the neighborhood,
and Messrs Barbee and Bandy have ad
ded to the facilities for that sport offered
by their pavilion, by building a high div
ing stand and spring board; also they
have laid in a supply of new bathing suits.

THEMOKNING NEWS. SUNDAY. J UNE 2. 1901.
OFF FOR A CONVENTION.
Savannah Bankers Leave To-day for
Old Point Comfort.
Several Savannah gentlemen will leave
to-day via the Southern Railway for Old
Point Comfort, where they will attend
the tenth annual convention of the Geor
gia Bankers’ Association. The programme,
Is mapped out for to-morrow and Tuesday
and Includes addresses from gentlemen
distinguished in the banking world.
Mr. Lana said yesterday that no large
attendance of the members of the asso
ciation Is looked for, as it is thought that
their attendance will be affected by hold
ing the convention outside the state. He
does not think it proper to hold a con
vention of a Georgia organization in Vir
ginia or in any other state than Georgia.
Tybee, Sir. Lane believes, would be the
place for the conventions. He said that
it offers every attraction of Old Point
Comfort. He will make an effort to have
the convention held at Tybee hereafter,
and In this he will doubtless be backed
up by the Savannahlans and the mem
bers of the association who are opposed
to having places chosen that are so dis
tant as to make the time and railroad
fare required for the trip no mean con
sideration.
One of Chatham’s representatives on
the legislature had a talk with Mr. Una
yesterday relative to the bank examiner’s
bill that was introduced at the last ses
sion of the Legislature. He believes there
should be a separate office of bank ex
aminer. The position is now held by the
state treasurer, who has the work done
by others, as a rule. Mr. Lane takes
the same view, and he promised to seek
the Indorsement of the Georgia Bankers’
Association, the legislator paving con
cluded that such indorsement would be a
strong card for those to play who expect
to bring the measure up again at the next
session.
Among those who are down for ad
dresses to the bankers, are Maj. James
R. Branch, secretary of the American
Bankers’ Association, New York city,who
will talk about "The Beuefit of Bankers’
Associations,” and Hon. Ellis H. Roberts,
treasurer of the United States.
Most of the bankers will take a trip
to the East after the convention ad
journs. Wednesday afternoon the Old Do
minion Line will be taken by some of the
delegates for New York.
HAS ONE TRAINMASTER.
Seaboard Combined the Work on
tlie Foarth Division.
The Fourth Division of the Seaboard
Air Line now has but one trainmaster.
The change became effective yesterday
and was a result of the economical admin
istration of the affairs of the Seaboard.
The force of dispatches has been cut in
half, three doing the work that six had
done.
Mr. W. A. Slocum has been in charge
of the office at Amerieus as trainmaster
of the road from Savannah to Montgom
ery, while the portion between Jackson
ville and Columbia has been under 3tr.
H. B. Connelly as trainmaster. Mr. Slo
cum yesterday came to Savannah to un
dertake the running of trains on the
entire division, Mr. Connelly becoming his
chief dispatcher.
Extended Sleeper Service,
The Seaboard Air Line will operate a
through sleeper hereafter between Tampa
and New York. The sleeper will be run
on trains Nos. 31 and 34. Heretofore* It
has been operated between Jacksonville
and New York.

The chapter will meet at the Veterans’

A. Stovall and the regular exercises of

supreme importance to the welfare of the

prompt attendance, so that the large
amount of business can be disposed of
without delay. All who attend are cer
tain to be interested in the afternoon’s
work. Besides the routine business al
ways transacted at the regular quarterly
meetings .other matters that will require
the attention of the Daughters are the
bestowal of the Crosses of Honor on the
Hinesvllle veterans, a request far them
having been made to this chapter; the
distribution of the funds raised through
the winter for the work of the organiza
tion; the proposed room of the Daugh
ters at the State Fair, and also a propo
sition for a “D. of C. Day” during the

MAYOR GOT THE FIGURES.
Does Not Accept AH That They Show
ns Correct.
Mayor Myers received a letter yester
day in reply to that he addressed to Di
rector of Public Works George M. Gads
den, requesting that he furnish him with
figures upon Gaston street paying.
Mr. Gadsden made a statement about
the cost of laying and maintaining shell
pavements, but the Mayor said that he
did not accept the figures as altogether
correct, believing that Mr. Gadsden is
wrong in charging sprinkling to the ac
count of maintenance of shell pavements.
That item, he said. was shown to have
been something like SI,BOO. Mr. Gadsden,
too, he said, had something like S6OO
charged against the shell pavement on
Gaston street, when it should have been
charged against the house drainage ac
count.
The difference of 1 $2,400, the Mayor
holds, makes a great increase in the
showing of cost of maintenance for the
shell streets. The figures, he said, have
not caused him to retire from one point
in his stand against the substitution of
brick for shell on Gaston street at this
time.
It was In no critical spirit, the Mayor
said, that he addressed the letter to the
director of public works to obtain the
figures. He merely desired to know how
It was that the estimates given by Al
derman Dixon in the last meeting of
Council were reached. The Mayor said
that he regards Mr. Gadsden as well qual
ified to fill the position of director of
public works and that he believes that
it has been creditably and satisfactorily
filled.
CHARGE CRIMES OF VIOLENCE
Negro Alleged to Have Committed
Two Criminal Assaults.
George Mitchell, alias Joe Grant, col
ored, waa arrested last night by Patrol
man Rauzln In the Kentucky bar, and Is
held at the police station on two charge*
of criminal assault. The complainants are
Bailie Hampton, at No. 36 Ann street and
Patience Maxwell, of No. 33 Ann street.
Both are colored. The crime Is alleged
to have been committed Wednesday af
ternoon on Hutchinson Island and was re
ported at. police headquarters at that time.
The women stated that the man had
knocked them in the head with an -ion
bar. Their story was printed In the
Morning News. Since then, the friends cf
both women and the husband of the Max
well woman have been searching diligently
for the alleged rapist. He kept out of
their way and was not located until last
night. 'i'h man, whom the women say
committed the act, was seen in. the saloon
in Market square and his alleged victims
were sent for. They identified him posi
tively and the patrolman was asked to
make ihe arrest.
Mitchell denied the chapge when placed
under arrest, and stated that he never
saw his accusers before. There is a cut
on hi* hand and the prosecutors say that
this was made by the Iron bar with which
he assaulted them. They say that they
went on the island Monday and Tuesday
to pick blackberries and that they en
countered Mitchell on both occasion*.
They are positive that he is the man and
will appear against him at a preliminary
hearing in Police Court to-morrow morn
ing.
FOUND TO BE CRAZY.
Robert McDonough Adjudged Insane
After an Examination.
"How are they coming, Sides?"
This question was put to every mem
ber of a Jury from the Court of Ordin
ary by Robert McDonough in th* county
jail yesterday afternoon. It Is Bob's fav
orite way of addressing an acquaintance,
and almost every one of the twelve men,
who had been named by Judge Screven
to pass upon the unfortunate man’s men
tal condition, was well known to him. The
jurors talked to the prisoner for some
little while, and a verdict adjudging him
a lunatic was the result, without a dis
senting voice.
About two weeks ago Bob was arrested
on a charge of disorderly conduct. Ha
was sentenced to serve thirty days in Jail
by Recorder Myrick and was also re
manded for trial in the City Court. In
that tribunal Judge Norwood sentenced
him to serve six months on the county
chaingang. The county authorities real
ized at once that McDonough is not a
fit subject for the chaingang, and Chief
Deputy Sheriff Sweeny had a warrant
for lunacy issued. He had noticed the
man's actions in the jail and in his opin
ion the asylum was the only proper plac
for him.
During his stay In the Jail McDonough
has pretended that he wanted to hang
himself, and on more than one occasion
had a rope round his neck. He had to
be confined to his cell. He believes that
he Is In charge of all the negro prisoners
on the lower floor of the jail, and says
that half the time the negroes would pay
in the Philippines and China. The un
fortunate man complained to the Jury
that half the time th enegroes would pay
no attention to his commands, and that
unless there Is more discipline It will be
more than a year before his recruits will
■be ready for active service.
Bob recognised a representative of tha
Morning News, and called his army to
attention. He staked that he wants the
public to know of the goad work that
he Is doing and that if the men are only
made to obey and respect him be will
have aJtrst-class fighting force in a short
while. The demented man will probably
be taken to Milledgevllle this week.
CHARGED WITH LARCENY.
Negro Denies That He Robbed Ac
quaintance on Beaufort Trip.
P. Phlnlzie, colored, was arrested yes
terday by Supt. Reilly and Is held at the
police station on a charge 6f larceny. Joe
Reed of No. 643 Jones street, west. Is tho
complainant, and he charge# that he was
robbed of a watch and chain, a hat and
$lO in cash and that the prisoner got his
property. It Is alleged that the robbery
was committed during the trip to Beau
fort, where the men were going to spend
Decoration Day. Reed told the superin
tendent that Phlnlzie Is a desperate negro,
but the officer had no trouble Jn taking
him In custody.
The prisoner denies the charge, and
claims that he knows nothing of any of
the property, with the exception of the
watch. He says that Reed was bard up
and borrowed $2 from him. leaving the
ttmeplroe as security. Phlnlzie says that
Reed failed to make good his promise,
and that he disposed of the watch, so
that he could get hi* money back. He
has a receipt for the money, and on the
slip of paper appears the note that the
watch was put up as security. The ne
gro says that he knows nothing about
the hat or money. He will be given a
preliminary examination by Recorder My
rick In Police Court to-morrow.
Defective Flue Caused Blase.
A small fdaze ki an unoccupied one-story
frame house at No. 630 Bismarck street,
caused the sounding of sn alarm from
box 123. on West Brosd and Thirty-third
streets, at an early hour yesterday morn
ing. The southern section of the depart
ment responded and the fire was extln
gttisne 1 before much damage had been
dona to the property, fluperlntendeni Ma
guire and Fire Marshall Monro decided

Rev. Sant P. Jonea.
Editor Morning News; The people for
the last tiwo weeks have been treated to
the unusual talk or preaching of tho
Rev. Sam P. Jones. He certainly created
no little comment among those who read
of or heard him preach or talk, for he
did both. His preaching was original,
unique, attractive and taking in its way.
The congregations which went to hear
him declared by their presence that they
wanted to hear something new, original
and out of the old common ruts of min
isterial talk or preaching.
Your writer went to hear him to see
what there was about him which created
such a desire to hear him. Certainly his
slang, abuse, and hard words were not
elevating; but with some It had an ef
feot. it was not so much in what Mr.
Jones said, s/in the way of saying it,
for words are things and mean much
when directed at any man or thing. To
change "Ink" for "words,” 1 as Byron
writes
"A word— l
Falling like dew, produces that which
Makes thousands, perhaps millions,
think."
There Is a certain magnetic or hypnotic
influence which goes out from Mr. Jones
in the expression of his eyes, the play
of his lips and the ease and naturalness
of his manner which takes and capti
vates. The people take to one who is
natural, feels at ease, and is bound by
no set ru’.es or custom. Those who
know anything about the psychioal force
in man, feel that Mr. Jones has thrown
himself out of himself into them and ar
rested their attention. It is done through
the eye, lips and manner, and Mr. Jones
is fully aware of his peculiar power. At
tractive preachers and orators have it In
a great degree. Walter T. Colquitt had It
In a wonderful degree, so of Beecher,
Talmage and many others.
The way of saying a thing, or telling
a story may so Impress as never to he
forgotten. To know how to talk is the
great seret to impress. Mr. Jones is sui
generis in that line and to be like him,
one must foe perfectly natural and at
ease. The earnestness of Mr. Jones goes
a long way to impress those who hear
him. It is not put on, but natural, and
nature is ever attractive.
"What'er he did was done with so much
ease,
In him alone ’twas natural to please.”
The lesson we learn from Mr. Jones Is
to be natural in the pulpit, to be free and
easy, to be conversational, illustrative,
to tell an anecdote that has point
in it, as were the taking and lnstruc :ve
parables of Jesus when the multitude
gladly heard him. The people are hungry
and thirsty for something new, and lienee,
no empty pews or Iwnehea. No doubt St.
Paul was a very natural man from wnat
he said, and did not attempt to be. wise
or argumentative when he was asked lo
discuss philosophy with his religion. Hlb
rqWgion had to philosophy In it. for It
was above all philosophy. Paid Paul "IHe
worldly wisdom knew not God,” It planted
God by Ihe foolishness of preacnlr.g to
save them that believe.”
Mr. Jones is not deficient In. self-reliance,
self-assertion, self-cbntidence, has also a
good large stocK of egotism on hand.
Your "little preachers" and ’bullet headed"
fellows jvho dissent from him, are but
pismire ants in his opinion. A great ego
tist is to be admired in his way, for he
makes a show and diversion for others.
We have teen many such in our political
life; real genious is one thing, but a noisy
show of self-importance altogether anoth
er thing.
The tabernacle Idea lo reach the people
Is the Idea, and it should he a regular in
stitution In the future. Then the ques
tion will not be asked. "Why don’t the
people, the mass of the people, go to
church?” Mr. Jones solved that question.
Get the right kind of building, and Ihe
right kind of men to fill It, and th* peo
ple will go, and by all means have tha
right kind of preaching to draw.
As an Illustration a number of years ago,
a New York minister. In going off on his
summer vacation, took the story of the
Prodigal Son as his text, his last. He then
wem among the mountains of Ve.rmont.
On Sunday he went to a country church,
and the minister took the same text. The
ooontry parson, threw life, feeling, pathos,
emotion and love Into it. The New York
minister was as much affected as any
ki the congregation. When he came out,
he said to himself, there Is a great power
In knowing how to tell a story and to Il
lustrate a great truth. He felt himself
a small man by the country parson. Let
a minister feel all over himself and make
his hearers feel with him. Mr. Jones is a
kind of pointer to some, barring his pe
culiar eccentricities and Ham Joneelsms,
which Is fully illustrated in hla sermon*.
Ministers are not in the pulpit to “lick"
or to be "licked" but to persuade men
with kind and Inviting words, H. M. O.

CHEATED TO WHISPER LOVE.
I’noniless, Wray Mnde Lead Disks to
Comfort Sweetheart.
From the New York Journal.
Wailter Wray, a likely young fellow of
Philadelphia, went to Jersey City test
week to look for work. He left hla sweet
heart behind him. She wrote him on
Wednesday that her mother had been
taken ill and was in danger of death.
"If you can’t come to roe call me up on
the ’phone, or I will die, too,” wrote the
girl. “Do not fall me. I am almost fran
tic.”
Wray, although he had not told his
sweetheart, had no money to buy food,
let alone to pay lon* distance telephone
lolls. But he was bound to talk to his
girl, lest she die.
So he cut some disks from a bit of lead
lll>e that fitted the slot In the telephone
pay station at the depot of the Central
Railroad of New Jersey. One by one
Wray dropped the disks Into the cash box
in which an automatic arrangement per
mitted him to talk over the telephone to
the young woman In Philadelphia. And
talk he did for fifteen minutes. She told
him her mother was better, and he told
her a loving fib—that everything was go
ing well with him. Then, suspecting him.
Inspector Sergeant, of the telephone com
pany had Wray arrested for dropping
lead instead of good coin into the cash
box.
Wray told his story of love and lead t
Justice Hoos yesterday. But he positively
refused to tell his sweetheart’s name.
Perhaps Sergeant relented when he learn
ed why Wray felt he just had to talk
over that telephone. The Inspector did not
appear against him, end the Justice re
manded him until to-day.
THE VETERANS RETURNED
With Glowing Accounts of the Mem
phis Reunion.
The party of Savannah veterans who
made the trip to the Confederate reunion
at Memphis returned to the yester
day morning, after having bean absent,
on the road and at Memphis, since last
Monday morning. They unite In saying
the reunion was the graetest in th# his
tory of the United Confederate Veterans
and the most enjoyable.
The trip was made by the veterans In
a special car, furnished by the Central
Railway, which ran a special train for
veterans from Savannah to Memphis. At
Macon, Columbus, and other points along
the line of the Central cars were added
to those with which the train left Savan
nah. The cars were used as sleeping
quarters while the stay wt Memphis con
tinued. Mr. W. G. Brewer, city ticket
and passenger agent of the Central, ac
companied the veterans, and was tnost
active and Obliging In looking after their
comfort. There was not a single unpleas
ant Incident, so the returning veterans
say, to mar their enjoyment of the trip.
The party numbered about thirty and
the enthusiastic accounts of the pleasures
they had and the old comrades they met
and the old memories they recalled,
which Its members are giving their
friends, are making the latter doubly
sorry they did not strain a point and take
In the Memphis reunion.
