FAIR IN FULL SWING
SACRED HEART BAZAR. FORMAL
LY OrESED.
WAS A BRILLIANT SCENE.
BISHOP KEII.EY AM) FATHEn
ALOYSU'S WELCOMED THE
ASSEMBLAGE.
The Opening of the Fair Wns Most
Auspicious—Knights of Colnmbna
Attended Over a Hnndred Strong.
Reanl Ifni Booth* Preaided Over
t Charming; Ladle*—Many Hand
some and Valuable Present* Dis
played—The Fair Continues for
Two Weeks.
The opening of the fair for the bene
fit of the Church of the Sacred Heart,
at the Catholic Library Hall, last
night, was most auspicious. The hall
was filled to overflowing and the
ceremonies attendant upon the formal
opening of the doors were appropriate
and interesting. Bishop Keiley made
a short and witty address and was
followed by Rev. Father Aloysius, who
spoke of his work here and the kindly
reception that he had been given at
the hands of the people of Savannah.
The Knights of Columbus attended in
a body and in the crowd that thronged
the place were members of the various
congregations. The arrangement of
booths and tables exhibited exquisite
taste and were ladened down with
beautiful articles, some of which are
of great value.
The Knights of Columbus met at
the Cathedral at 8 o'clock and forming
in line, marched, to the music of a
band to the C. L. A. Hall. There the
procesion halted and acted as escort
to Bishop Keiley, who, with Grand
Knight P. J. O'Conner, and Father
Aloysius and Father Bernard. with
Deputy Grand Knight J. D. Persse,
proceeded into the room and to the
stage. The Knights then returned to
the entrance and went to the main
gallery.
The Bishop ascended the stage with
clergy, officers of Knights of Colum
bus and committee, and made the
opening address, in which he compli
mented the clergy, the congregations,
and all who had in any way contribu
ted to the fair upon the beauty of
the display and the success that
seemed assured. In a humorous vein
the Bishop alluded to the small
chances that would be taken by those
who entered to leave without making
proper contribution to the building
fund. Father Aloysius followed the
Bishop and made a little talk upon
the way that he had been welcomed
and made to feel at home in Savan
nah. He had come a stranger a year
and a half ago and the friendship and
kindness that had been accorded him
had touched him deeply. He felt
sure that the work so well begun
would be continued to splendid
completion and that the fair
would be a great success and add '
many dollars to the building fund of
the Church of the Sacred Heart.
A lMctnrescue Scene.
When the formal ceremonies were
over the Knights of Columbus enjoy
ed the special luncheon that had been
■ prepared to their order, and soon came
down upon the main floor and mingled
with the merry crowd that surged
about from booth to booth and en
gaged in conversation and pleasant
ries. The young ladies were out in
force and had all manner of plans to
suggest whereby the funds of the fair
might be increased. Many of the
pretty girls in the assemblage were
attached to one or another of the
tables or booths and were working
faithfully in the interest of the same.
The men very generally had confe to
the fair to spend a little money, and
while there were purchases no doubt
that were not absolutely necessary,
there was always ones money's worth
in entertainment. The tables and
booths were well patronized and the
refreshment division and smoking
room had hundreds of patrons.
The picture presented by the hall,
with the fair in full swing, was one
that would not easily be forgotten. A
blaze of 'light, not only from the arcs
above, but from hundreds of incandes
cents used in decorations, and every
where bright colors and beautiful
women.
The Japanese Booth.
At the left, upon entering was the
Japanese booth, a pretty conceit in red,
gold, white and green, with a huge Jap
anese umbrella over the octagon coun
ters. In the center a Pagoda shaped
stand held hundreds of pretty and use
ful presents that will belong to patrons
of the fair, when it is over. At
present they are under the care of
about a score of impromptu Japs—the
jolliest troop that ever escaped from
the Kingdom of the Mikado. Miss
Aveilhe is the principal ruler of the Jap
anese table, and as assistants she has
Mrs. Cambridge, Mrs. Adams, Miss
Mary McCarthy, Miss Loretta McCar
thy, Miss Nellie McCarthy, Miss Willa
Aveilhe, Miss Ellen Gannon, Miss Cecile
Ryan, Miss Marie Ray, Miss Louise
' Storer. Miss Fannie Bannon, Miss Va
lerie Howell, Miss Nellie McQuade, Miss
Susie Brooks, and Miss Agnes Lyons.
The young ladies were all dressed in
oriental costumes and that they had
“winning ways” was testified to by all
who entered the hall. The Japanese
booth was decorated by Mr. Hernandez,
and the draperies were furnished by
Jackson.
Country Store.
Across the hall from the Japs head
quarters tvas the Country Store, and
such another collection of goods could
not be found South of Dawson City.
According to the advertisements print
ed In the Fair Gazette, which may ap
pear during the year, the only things
not on sale were atmosphere and moun
tain oysters. The store had a patron
age that insured against bankruptcy
and suggested enlargement. It is a
substantial structure and a star at
traction at the fair the stars can be
seen on the outside without opera
glasses. The country store is in charge
of Mr. G. R. Rossignol, and he has as
clerks, Mr. Nungazer, Mr. Joseph Lo
gan the three Masters Rossignol aryl
as attractions Mrs. Westervelt and
Miss Leila Oliveros and Miss Virginia
Oliveros. The annex to the Country
Store is a very dainty booth, all deck
ed in white and in charge of Mrs.
Rossignol. Here are shown some love
ly dollies and fancy articles. Thb dec
orations at the annex were donations
of B. H. Levy & Bro. put up by Chas.
Levy, and draperies is by Gustav Eck
stein.
A Pipe In Pence.
The smoking room is a popular
place. It is at the front on the left
and the male patrons of the fair found
it a charming place to lounge for a
time and enjoy a real Savannah cigar
or fective. New York Egyptian cigar
ette. Miss Cecile Adams, a pretty lit
tle Jap in a lovely window curtain de
sign gown, had charge and it wasn't
anything near as serious as the charge
of the light brigade. Lights were free,
In fact and only the stuff that goes
up in smoke cost real money.

MUSIC IN THE PARKS.
Many People Interested In the Ques
tion Soon to* Come Ip.
As the summer approaches and the
people begin to figure what to do in
the way of recreation and pleasure,
during the long evenings, there is
much discussion as to the probable at
titude of City Council when the matter
of music in Forsyth Park is consider
ed. NaturaJly it has not yet been
brought up, but probably will be be
fore very long, by petition or other
wise. It will then be the province
of Council to act, and with the suc
cess of last season’s concerts in mind
there seems good reason to expect a
favorable verdict.
In Northern cities the free
in the parks are considered well
worth the cost, and it is no small
amount for the best organizations are
employed and they have to play line
music to hold their contracts. The
expenditure is found to be money well
used, for there is no estimating the
benefit of these entertainments to
those who cannot afford or do not
wish to attend the concerts, theaters,
etc. There is no place in the world
where the people work harder than
in New York, but when the day’s
work is done the people must have
amusement or else they may do
worse. Here there is no great danger
of the people behaving badly if the
concerts are not given, but with the
concerts there will be a great many
people better satisfied. The announce
ment that the city is so progressive
as to encourage music and take an in
terest in the entertainment of its peo
ple will alone be well worth the price
of the summer’s concerts.
WILL TRY AND GET
NATIONAL CONVENTION.
Mnynr Myers Favors Inviting Drum
mers to Savannah.
As first announced in the Morning
News an effort will be made to have
the national convention of the Trav
elers’ Protective Association held In
Savannah in 1905. Work in this di
rection has already been started.
If the movement secures the proper
encouragement, and there seems to be
no reason why it shouldn’t, the mem
bers of Post A are confident the con
vention can be secured. Mr. Joseph
Loven;# in is active in the matter
and has already interested quite a
number in the plan to get the con
vention.
has been brought to the
attention of Mayor Myers and he will
bring the question up before Council.
If the city takes a hand in the move
ment, one or two representatives will
be sent to the convention to be held at
Indianapolis in June. As stated
in the Morning News Sunday it will
require a large sum of money to get
the convention, but Mr. j Lovenstein
says that the city will be repaid.
There are no better advertisers on
earth than the drummers and it is
agreed that the convention Is worth
fighting for. The trade bodies have
also been written to on the subject
and it is altogether likely that a fight
will be made for Savannah at the
meeting in Indianapolis, it being nec
essary to get to work two years in
advance.
POLICE WOULDN’T ARREST
WITHOUT WARRANT.
Edgefield Citizen Wanted to Find
Negro Runaway*.
Claiming to be the guardian of two
16-year-old negroes, and armed with. a.
document to prove his assertion, a
white resident of Edgefield, S. C.,
reached Savannah yesterday in search
of his wards who have given him the
shake.
Expressing a willingness to pay any
charges that might be made the man
called upon the superintendent of
police last night and invoked his aid.
He received a cold deal, however,
when the police chief drew from him
the facts in the case, and was prompt
ly told that there was "nothing doing.”
The Edgefield man was also warned
that in the event he arrested the lads
himself he was likely to get into
trouble.
He said the boys are cousins and
that one worked on his place and the
other on a neighboring farm. His
contention was that they had stolen $5
and skipped, and he asked for their
arrest on a charge of larceny. He
had no warrant, however, and his
chief desire appeared to be to get
hold of the runaways so that he could
take them "back to the farm.” The
police refused to be. a party to the
playing of any such game and the
Edgefield citizen left police headquar
ters seemingly not at all pleased.
NO ACTION YET TAKEN
BY Y. M. H. A. in Hcgnrd to B'nal
B'rlth.
At a special meeting of the Y. M. H.
A., held last night, the report of a
committee from Junior Wolf Lodge of
the B'nai B’rlth, whose membership is
made up of many of those on the rolls
of the Y. M. H. A., was heard with
out any action being taken.
There is opposition to the plan to
have the Y. M. H. A. absorbed by the
B’nal B’rith lodge. Mr. Sol Hirsch is
president of both, but would not dis
cuss the subject after the meeting.
None of those who were present cared
to have anything to say. President
Hirsch said that although there were
between fifty and sixty at the meeting
the number was not large enough, un
der the constitution of the organiza
tion, to do anything. It is known that
the younger members of the Y. M. H.
A. oppose the proposed amalgamation.

SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: WEDNESDAY. APRIL 15. 1905.
ARTLEY WON MEDAL
IN’ ANNEAL PRIZE DRILL OF SA
VANNAH CADETS.
PRIVATE WALTON SECOND.
500 INVITED GUESTS WITNESSED
AN EXCITING CONTEST.
Private W. H. Artley Proved Him
self the Best Drilled Man—lt Took
Nearly Three Hoars to Decide
the Contest—Comiiany Mcdnl Was
Awarded to Winner by Col. Gor
don In an Interesting Speech.
Private Walton Received |r> in
Gold—Exhibition Reflected Credit
on the Command.
The prize drill of the Savannah Ca
dets at the Guards Hall last night was
one of the most enjoyable of the an
nual exhibitions and entertainments
given by that popular company. Aft
er two hours and a half hard drilling,
Private VV. H. Artley was declared the
winner, and to him was awarded the
company gold medal, while to Private
Findley Walton went the second prize
of $5 in gold.
Fully 500 people witnessed the exhi
bition as guests of the company. The
members of the various commands in
the city, as well as a number of offi
cers from Fort Screven, many of whom
escorted the fair sex, attended the
drili, and gave generous applause to
the excellent drilling of the men. The
manner in which the men executed the
manual of arms reflected credit on
them and on the officers of the com
pany, and met the approbation of the
most critical.
The orchestra of the First Regiment
Band gratuitously furnished the mu
sic for the evening, rendering selec
tions during the intermissions in the
drill. At the conclusion of the exhibi
tion, the Cadets and their friends
whiled away the hours pleasantly in
the dance. Special dance programmes
had been printed. Refreshments were
served during the latter part of the
evening, and altogether the occasion
was a most enjoyable one.
The Contestants In Line.
The company, under the command
of Capt. West was marched into the
hall promptly at 9 o’clock, and were
put through p. few preparatory com
mands. It was then divided into two
platoons, of seventeen men each, and
the drill was begun, but one platoon
being drilled at the time. The five
men remaining in each of the platoons
were then pitted against each other
for the final contest. It was easily
discernible from the outset that the
drill would be a long one, for the te
nacity with which the men stuck to it,
and the scarcity of mistakes showed
plainly that they were not to be put
out on a few commands.
The officers of the company alter
nated as judges and commanders, two
of the officers acting in the former ca
pacity while a third put the men
through the manual of arms. After
ten minutes of drilling, but two men
went down. Gradually, one by one,
the line was thinned, until finally the
five who would meet an equal number
from the second platoon were left
standing. These were: Sergt. Purse,
Sergt. Millard, Private Patterson,
Private Ijer.r,"nil Pilvnte Walton.
The drilling in the second platoon
was not as good as that in the first,
the men falling out in more rapid
succession. The five met), who suc
ceeded in avoiding a mistake in the
ordeal were: Sergt. Thompson, Pri
vates Coney, J. D. Artley, W. H. Art
ley and Boron. After a short inter
mission these were pitted for the final
struggle with the five winners of the
first platoon.
Survival of the Fittest.
It was truly a case of the survival
of the fittest, and so fit were the con
testants that the officers found It a
difficult matter to detect an error. Pat
terson, Millard, Thompson, J. D.
Artley, and Purse were thrown out, in
the order named. The five men who
remained will comprise the Cadet’s
Regimental team in the annual contest
which takes place on May 15, there be
ing four men and an alternate from
each company In that contest.
It took a long time to drill down any
of the men who were left standing,
the difficulty experienced arguing
strongly the fact that the test to which
the men had been put was a fair one,
for those who were left were, it could
easily be seen, were the best drilled
men in the command. Priv. Boron
was the first to make a mistake. When
Priv. Coney was next thrown out be
cause of the position of his hand in
the “present amis," an excited hum
of conversation followed, for it was
he who was then the wearer of
medal.
There wore now three men left
standing, and each was being watched
by an officer with a trained eye.
“Load! Ready! Aim!—Click went Priv.
Levy’s gun before the command “Fire,”
and out went Levy. There were now
hut two "Blue bottles left handing on
the wall,” Privates Artley and Walton,
and every eye in the hall watched every
move of the two contestants, as stand
ing before the large audience, with
their mlr.ds concentrated, they ex
ecuted the commands with precision
and despatch. (
Down to Two Men.
Both men were sure of a prize, but
each was determined to get first. This
was impossible, however. It finally
came to a point, efter fully fifteen min
utes drilling where the officers began to
score close points, for they saw that
unless the strictest execution was en
forced there was a fair chance of their
remaining up all night. The end came
when, at the command “Port arms,”
Private Walton twisted his gun a trifle
more than is countenanced in the
strictest enforcement of the manual of
arms. When Walton was thrown out,
the members of the company rushed
forward and warmly congratulated
both Artley and his worthy second.
At the conclusion of the drill the
prizes were presented by Col. G, A.
Gordon. In delivering them Col. Gor
don addressed the men in a most in
teresting and soldierly manner, ex
plaining to them the benefits derived
from military life, recounting the lau
rels won by the Savannah Cadets, and
urging them to renewed effort. He
complimented the winners of the two
prizes, saying that they had just cause
to feel proud of the honor of being de
clared the best drilled men in the Sa
vannah Cadets. Col. Gordon said, in
part:
Col. Gordon's Address.
“Every thinking man who has en
listed In the National Guard of this
state has at some time asked himself
these questions. What has it ad
vantaged me to belong to the military?
Of what benefit is my military serv
ice to the state or nation? Is the ex
penditure of time and effort of any
talue to me or any one else?
"It a man has observed closely and
Judge Impartially, he himself will
realize that he has been benefited by
the habits formed of respect for au
thority; of concentration of purpose:

SONS OF VETERANS MEET.
Will Mnke Plans for Trip to Con
federate Reunion In New Orleans.
The Francis S. Bartow Camp of
Sons of Confederate Veterans
will hold ait Interesting meet
ing to-night in the Confeder
ate Veterans’ Association Hall in
the Chatham Artillery Armory at 8:30
o’clock.
The chief business before the meet
ing will be the election of delegates
to the reunion of Confederate Veterans
at New Orleans next month. The
expenses of one delegate will be paid
by the camp, while other delegates
will be named ‘by President Dearing
Harden. These other delegates will
be in proportion to the numerical
strength of the camp, there being a
delegate for every ten members.
At the conclusion of the business
meeting refreshments will be served.
A special effort has been made to
bring out a large attendance and all
members of the camp are urged to be
present.
MATTERS BEFORE COUNCIL
Matter of Patting Experts on Books
May Be Discussed.
While the caucus of City Council will
probably be Interesting to-night un
less there are developments to-day the
open session promises to he a rather
tame proceeding. The resignation of
William P. Bailey as clerk will be reg
ularly accepted and an election to fill
the vacancy will be ordered for the
next meeting, two w r eeks from date.
Mayor Myers stated yesterday that
the expert who is at work on the Po
ice Court books will not be able to
have his report ready for Council at
this meeting. The matter is certain,
however, to be discussed in caucus
and there will probably be suggestions
from aldermen, on the subject of hav
ing all of the books of the city gone
over by an expert. At the same time
some plan, to be adopted later, will
probably be offered for a complete
change in the manner of auditing the
books of the city. It is not expected
that the open session will last a great
while.
ELKS WILL COME HERE.
State Lodge Pretty Apt to Meet in
Savannah,
Contrary to the expectations of Ex
alted Ruler Robert L. Colding it was
decided at the regular meeting of the
Elks last night to make an effort to
secure the next meeting of the State
Lodge for Savannah .
The delegates, to the session at Val
dosta, who leave this morning go au
thorized to make an effort to have the
State Lodge meet here next year. It
appears likely that Savannah will be
selected as the meeting place, the sug
gestion having first come to this city
by way of Valdosta. The meeting last
night was largely attended and there
were several initiations
JEWISHpWOMEN to discuss
KINDERGARTEN PLAN.
At a special meeting of the Jewish
Women's Council of Savannah, to be
held Thursday afternoon, at 4:30
o’clock, at the Mordecai Sheftall Me
morial, the proposition in regard to
Kindergarten matters, as proposed by
the Baldwin Free Kindergarten Asso
ciation, will be taken up. The sub
ject has been discussed at previous
meetings of the Council and referred
to this special meeting for positive
action, and it is therefore most im
portant that all members endeavor to
be present. Mrs. Mendies, president of
the Council, desires especially to im
press upon the members of the impor
tance of attend the meeting Thursday.
NEW HOUSES GOING UP

TO NAME CREAMER
CLERK OF ORDINARY CO CRT WILL
* RESIGN COMMISSION TO BE
SIGN COMMISSION TO BE.
APPOINTED BY MAYOR MYERS.
HIS RESIGNATION HAS .NOT YET
• BEEN TENDERED.
Mr. Joseph Molina Will Succeed to
the Clerkship of the Court—The
Appointment a Richly Merited
One—Mr. Molina Han Served In
the Court of Ordinary for More
Than Fourteen Yenra—Retiring
Clerk Will Be Presented With a
Gold Pen by Attaches of the Of
fice.
Not until he has been appointed by
Mayor Myers will Mr. J. Robert
Creamer resign the office of clerk of
the Court of Ordinary to accept thp
position of clerk of Council, made va
cant by the resignation of Mr. Wil
liam P. Bailey.
Mr. Creamer’s appointment will
come at the regular meeting of City
Council to-night, at which time Mr.
Bailey’s resignation will be regularly
accepted. Mr. Creamer may be sworn
in immediately after the appointment
is announced. If he should take the
oath of office to-night he will perform
his first official act in Police Court
in the morning.
Mr. Creamer’s succession to the of
fice was first predicted in the Morning
News. There was some doubt
whether Mayor Myers would appoint
him at once, or allow Deputy Clerk
Hernandez to perform the functions
of the office until the election that
will be ordered by Council to-night.
This matter was settled yesterday
morning when Mr. Creamer was as
sured that he would be appointed at
once.
Mr. Joseph Molina will be appointed
as clerk of the Court of Ordinary, so
soon as Judge McAlpin accepts the
resignation of the retiring clerk. 'Mr.
Creamer will be presented with a
handsome gold pen by the members of
the office force at the time of his
resignation, with the accompanying
request that he qualify as clerk of
Council with it.
New Clerk of Court.
The new clerk of the court, Mr. Mo
lina, is in every way qualified to dis
charge the duties which will devolve
upon him, since he has held the position
before with distinction. He has been
an attache of the Ordinary’s office for
more than fourteen years. He has held
the position of recording clerk under
Judge McAlpin since the beginning
of his term of office! His appointment
to fill the vacancy occasioned by the
resignation of Mr. Creamer bespeaks
the high esteem in which he was held
by the Ordinary, and the appreciation
which his services inspired.
Mr. Molina entered the Ordinary’s
office July 1, 1889, under the late Judge
Hampton L. Ferrill, in the capacity of
assistant to Clerk Keilbach. He served
in this capacity for twelve years, until,
in 1901, on the death of Judge Ferrill,
Mr. Keilbach succeeded to the Ordt
naryship, and Mr. Molina was appoint
ed clerk of the court. In this capacity
he served for about three months,
when, owing to political differences, he
resigned, and supported Judge McAl
pin for Ordinary in the race which fol
lowed. After Judge McAlpin’s election
he was tendered the position of re
cording clerk in March, 1902, and has
served in that capacity up to the pres
ent time.
Leaves a Vacancy.
Mr. Molina will be sworn in as clerk
to-morrow morning. It is probable
that the position of recording clerk
now held by him will be tendered Mr.
Dinon, an attache of the office, ■who
has served as deputy clerk since the
administration of Judge McAlpin. It
is not now known who will fill the
position which will be left vacant be
cause of the resignation of Clerk
Creamer.
ODD FELLOWS ELECT
GRAND LODGE DELEGATES.
At a meeting of Concord Lodge of
Odd Fellows, held last night, the fol
lowing representatives to the Grand
Lodge were elected: Messrs. W. H.
Winn, C. M. Hoynes, E. S. Mason, W.
T. Walls and W. S. Kuhlman. The

At a meeting of DeKalb Lodge No.
9, Secretary J. W. Smith was elected

It was decided to hold a social session
and smoKer in the lodge room at De-
Kalb Hall on May 4. The entertain
ment will consist of vocal and instru
mental music, address by a prominent

rangement committee was appointed
with Mr. Wm. H. Murdock as chair
man to prepare for the entertainment.
Change in Schedule* Via Seaboard
Air Line Railway,
Effective April 12, the Seaboard Air

MOTHER PINES FOR SON
WHO IS SUFFERING.
Pittsburg Police Chief Asked to
Aid Savannah Woman.
Claiming that her minor son is being
guarded, along with other workmen,
near Pittsburg, Pa., and fearing that
he will either be killed, or die from ex
posure, Mrs. M. E. Martin of No. 228
Habersham street has invoked the aid
of the superintendent of police.
Her letter to the head of the police
department is on the whole a rather
pathetic document and was last night
forwarded by Supt. Garfunkel to the
Chief of Police of Pittsburg, with a re
quest that assistance be rendered the
young man. In her letter to the Sa
vannah police chief, Mrs. Martin says
that she received a letter a day or two
since, and that her son's life is in great
danger.
“My son was at Portsmouth,’* she
writes, “and a representative of the
American Bridge Company met him
while engaged in securing hands. This
man told my son, and the others, that
there was no strike on and he agreed to
go. When he arrived at Pittsburg he
was taken with others to a boat house
and has had to be guarded all the time.
He is under age and suffers very much
from rheumatism, and since being there
he has at times been unable to walk.
He writes me that he has had to stay
in damp places without medical atten
tion.
“He is a minor and I hope you will be
so kind as to write the chief of police
at Pittsburg and ask him to send an
officer and take my boy from those peo
ple, so that he can get back home. We
are well known in Atlanta and Colum
bus, and your influence with the Pitts
burg chief would do what a request
from me could never accomplish.
Please, dear sir, aid me in this. Those
people should be made to pay my boy’s
fare back to Portsmouth and then he
could get home some way. I will be so
very grateful if you help me get my
boy back.”
MILLEDGEVILLE ASYLUM
OR BACK TO GREECE.
Frnlt Man Who Went Insane
Preached Greek Sermon.
By a verdict rendered yesterday aft
ernoonv by a jury in the Court of Or
dinary, Nicholas Angelos, a Greek,
who recently lost his mind, will either
become an inmate of the asylum at
'Milledgeville or be sent to his native
land.
At the trial the services of George
Caurellas, secretary of the Greek col
ony, had to be secured as interpreter.
Angelos preached a sermon to the jury
that passed upon the question of his
sanity and crossed himself repeatedly
as the Greek prayers were offered.
While in jail he tore the clothes from
his bock and has been violent almost
continually since his confinement.
It was shown at the investigation
that Angelos was proprietor of a fruit
stand on Broughton street and had
been doing very well. His wife and
children aire in his native land and he
has riot seen them in fifteen years. He
recently received a letter from bis
wife and the contents preyed upon his
mind. The jury recommended that
Caurellas be appointed the unfortu
nate man’s guardian and that an ef
fort be made to have him sent to
Greece at once, and that if this can
not be arranged that he be confined in
the asylum at Milledgeville.
