v : i ie well represented at the tri
enrial conclave of Knight Templars
wh: h meets at San Francisco Sept. 5
tr. 9. Georgia Templars will keep
oppr house at the Palace Hotel. In
PVPr y state of the Union Knights
Templars are brushing up their uni
forms, polishing their swords, and
packing their grips for the pilgrimage
to the Pacific. In the first week of
September they will gather at ’Frisco
20.000 strong.
Georgia has been sending representa
tives to the tri-ennials for the last fif
t,-n years. They became a factor nine
v. jrs ago when, at Boston, nearly 100
(strong the Grand Commandery of
Georgia kept open house for five days
during which they received and en
tertained over 3,000 visitors. Since that
time at each succeeding triennial,
Georgia has been a toast, second per
haps only to California.
Will Keep Open House.
Owing to the long distance and
the season of the year a
much smaller number than us
ual will go to California, but these
Knights have engaged headquarters at
the Palace Hotel, and from the bill of
fare which they are sending out, it
goes without saying that Georgia will
be heard from. *
Among the Savannahians who will
go are Col. J. H. Estlll, Mrs.
] still, and Mrs. J. G. Hill. With them,
will be Capt. William Pendleton and
Mr and Mrs. Lewis M. Goodrich of
Augusta. Mr. John R. Young will
also go from Savannah.
Among those who will go from At
lanta aie Julius L. Brown and J. K.
nrr, past grand commanders. In Mr.
Orr’s party will be Mrs. Orr. J. K. Orr,
Ji„ Miss Hattie Orr, Miss Francis Car
ter Mrs Alice Nuckolls. John R.
Dickey, grand captain general, will be
accompanied by Mrs. Dickey and Mrs.
B H. Jones, Mrs. G. J. McMichael.
These will take the grand encampment
special. Th train is limited to mem
bers of the grand encampment and
their families, and will be luxurious
in its appointments. It covers an
Itinerary of about a month, including a
week in Yellowstone Park and three
weeks, in California, concluding at St.
Louis about Sept. 16. Among others
who will attend from Georgia, will be
Grand Commander Schweigert of Au
gusta, Past Eminent M. A. Weir of
Macon, and Eminent Commander
Thomas Burry of Gainesville.
Souvenirs of Georgia.
Among the souvenirs the Triennial
Committee has prepared is an unique
map of Georgia, on which is shown tho
fourteen cities of the state having com
manderies, and across this map is a
song from Georgia, written by Frank
L. Stanton, under the title of "Geor
gia’s Toast to Her Host, California.”
Two thousand miniature cotton bales
carrying the name of Georgia will be
distributed. •
The refreshments offered will be the
Georgia cracker, which is the cele
brated beaten biscuit of the South—on
which the name of Georgia will be
prominent. While it seems like car
rying coal to Newcastle, a barrel of
souppernong wine has been shipped to
’Frisco "just to wash the cracker
down.”
While it is stated that San Francis
<o will spend over *IOO,OOO for enter
tainment, which perhaps is not extrav
agant for so rich a city—it is worth
noting that the few' Templars from
Georgia will take w'ith them nearly a
half million in cold cash. While it may
only carry the stamp “of a storm
cradled nation that fell” it will enable
the Georgia boys to light the cigars
of their California friends with a *lO
bill and not feel it. The Georgia Tem
plars will probably enjoy the distinc
tion of being the only Knights on the
‘eminent who will literally have mon
ey to burn. •

The concern is backed by Savannah
capital, and will employ from fifteen
to twenty hands. The daily output will
be about eight tons.
In speaking of the new factory Mr.
Karger said:
“We expect to supply the people
with excelsipr at much lower figures
than they have been forced to pay.
OUr institution is a home product and
we expect a liberal patronage, both at
home and abroad. Our factory will be
ready for business in a few days and
will turn out a high grade of excelsior.
Our machinery is of the very latest de
sign and our location is an ideal one.
As our business increases we expect
to branch out.”

SAVANXAH MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY. AUGUST 14. 1904.
PREDICTS DANGER
FOR ROOSEVELT.
SOMETIME IN SEPTEMBER.
MRS. R. P. WARD OITLINES VISION
ON POLITICAL OUTLOOK.
Democratic Party Will Divide and
It* Opponents Win by a Large
Majority, That Is If the President
Escapes Dangers Which Darken
His Pathway, Says Mrs. Ward.
Will Write to Roosevelt Warning
Him of Evils That Menace Him.
In casting a political horoscope for
the national political campaign, Mrs.
R. P. Ward, a Georgia woman who
predicted the death of President Mc-
Kinley, has found serious troubles for
President Roosevelt. It’s all going to
happen during the month of Septem
ber, or the deal’s off, and the Presi
dent will pull through.
If he passes this crisis next month,
according to the vision of Mrs. Ward,
President Roosevelt stands a fine show
of being elected President. In order
to accomplish this it Is predicted that
the Democratic party will be split into
two factions, but on what rock is not
stated.
"I see great danger for President
Roosevelt in September,” said Mrs.
Ward yesterday. "It looks very dark
for him. He is in danger of violence.
In fact, on March 7 last I prophesied
the assassination of Roosevelt. He is
a good man at heart, and if he passes
through this dangerous period that
now hangs over him, and is elected,
he will serve his country well. If he
escapes the impending danger, ‘he will
be elected by a large majority.”
Democrats Resemble Gloomy Gas.
Turing her attention to the presiden
tial campaign, Mrs. Ward said:
“I saw some time back a favorable
Democratic campaign, but since then
there has been some very strong
changes. They took place about the
time of the nominations. At that time
the conditions were clear. Now I see
a division among 'the Democrats. As
I now see it, that party will split,
and there will come great confusion.
There is a darkness of uncertainty
banging over Mr. Parker.
“Roosevelt, will be the next President
if he averts tiie calamity that now
hangs over him. The shadows are
gathering thickly about him. He has
false friends, who may in some way
deal darkly with him. I prophesied a
second term for McKinley, also his
final end, warning him by letter of his
coming trouble.
“I now say that the Democrats will
divide, and will be knocked out unless
they stand together quickly. Yes, as
I now see It, the Democrats will split
and make a channel, and the other
side will fill up the gap.
Hard Time* Predicted.
“Again, I see hard times ahead,
money scarce, much suffering, a scarci
ty in cotton, but a higher price. I
see a nearby war and much disturb
ances, as well as distress. America
will have trouble with foreign coun
tries and difficulties that will not be
early settled.
“In thus prophesying of the political
campaign, I 'am not following the
dictates of my heart. I have got to
tell this thing as I see it, not as I
would like ‘to have It.
."Roosevelt will be the next Presi
dent beyond the shadow of a doubt
if he is not killed.
No Race War.
"There will never be a race war in
this country. I see negroes and white
men fighting side by side without uni
forms. It is my intention to write
soon ‘to President Roosevelt, warning
him of the danger and telling him how
'to avert it. Jim Parker, the colored
man who defended President McKinley
at Buffalo, was through the South,
and I believe was instructed by Presi
dent Roosevelt to see me regarding the
President’s trip to Charleston. I de
clined to see the negro when he was In
Augusta. My vision ends with a greet
fear and sadness for our country and
its rulers.”

partially interrupted for two or three
days by reason of the corner stone
laying, will be resumed in earnest
Monday.
The demolishment of the stand that
had been erected for the corner stone
laying was completed yesterday, and
there is nothing now to interfere with
the work.
Mr. A. P. Stew*art, the contractor,
says he is glad the corner stone laying
is over. Preparing for it was a great
deal of trouble, and interferred to
some extent with the work. From
now on there will be no interruptions,
and the work will probably progress
very rapidly. A stage has now been
reached where the work that is done
shows. Until the walls were up some
distance from ‘the ground the work
did not show up much. From now
on the building will grow very rapidly.

signed at once, as he is going away.
It Is thought the papers can all be

ALLEGING CRUEL ACTS.
Claims That Lewis H. Bringloe
Threatened to Kill Her.
Alleging that her husband had
told her that he married her to
cook and look after his clothes, while
his heart was another’s, Mrs. Clarence
Burn Bringloe filed a petition for a
divorce in the Superior Court yester
day morning, through her attorney,
Col. Robert L. Colding.
The petitioner charges that Lewis H.
Bringloe, the husband, who is an as
sistant light house keeper at Tybee,
had threatened to kill her and
leave before daylight so he would
not be caught. Finally she was forced
to leave him, believing that her life
was in danger. An absolute divorce is
asked for.
JUNE SUPERIOR COURT

Newly Created Term Will Begin
Sessions on Oet. 3.
Next Tuesday the Superior Court
will close its June term and Judge
Cann will be able to take a well-earn
ed vacation before the ‘beginning of
the recently created term in October.
The new term will begin Oct. 3.
The added term is being looked for
ward to with some foreboding by the
court officials, who realize thHt a con
siderable addition to the year's work
is meant. The redeeming feature is
that it will enable the transaction of
business with more speed and prevent
ln a large measure the aoemulation of
cases.
The last presentment of the grand
jury will be made to-morrow after
noon at 4 o’clock.

Crowd Will Be Largest Yet Car

Events—Ten Days Will Be Allow

ers—Railroads Fighting for fhe
Business.
On swiftly moving trains, seated in
luxurious coaches, and listening to the
musical click of rapddly revolving
wheels which are carrying them Joy
ously to mountain and seashore, hun
dreds of Savannahians will on next
Wednesday journey North and East to
spend a brief vacation snatched from
the oares of every-day life, the trip
made possible by the exceedingly low
rates of the railroads participating in
the excursion.
Only two more days will remain for
those who have not yet determined to
go to decide the question. For those
who are almost persuaded the repre
sentatives of the railroad companies
are searching and with a statement of
the beauties of mountain and vale hope
to lure a record-breaking crowd from
their homes.
Ever since the excursion was an
nounced In the Morning News, Just
two weeks ago, the railroad companies
have received numerous inquiries re
garding the trip, and quite a number
of reservations have been made.
While from the nature of the case
it is impossible to say who are going,
the railroad officials believe that 600
passengers will be a conservative es
timate of the crowd that will take ad
vantage of the excursion.
Railroads interested.
The Seaboard Air Line, the Atlantic
Coast Line, the Southern and the Cen
tral of Georgia are each out for the
business, though not all reach the same
resorts. The Southern does not bid
much for the seashore business, con
fining itself to the mountain resorts, of
which the road has a large list. The
Coast Line and the Seaboard are close
competitors and reach much of the
same territory. The Central has a
smaller number of mountain resorts,
but claims to have as good as are on
the map
Though the publishing of a through
rate to New York on the occasion of
the excursion on Wednesday had not
been contemplated when the plan was
inaugurated, the action of the Ocean
Steamship Company in placing In effect
a round trip rate to New York on the
same day of *27.75. forced the all-rail
lines to take some action.
Yesterday It was officially announced
that the same rate was ln effect to
New York over the Southern, the Si>a
board and the Atlantic Coast Line.
Extra Pullman Cars.
The Atlantic Coast Line will have
a through sleeper on to New York,
and will sell for two trains on Aug.
17 to any resort point. The Seaboard
has extra sleepers with a large num
ber of reservations already made for
Old Point Comfort and other seacoast
resorts. The Coast Line will have two
or three extra eleepers on Its Florida
and West India Limited. The South
ern will have at least one extra sleep
er to Asheville, and perhaps two.
Tickets for the special excursions
will be good to return by any train
or steamship up to and Including
He pit. 1, thus giving a two-weeks out
ing st a very moderate cost to the
best known resorts of the whole coun
try.
The coming excursion will surpass
all others of the kind Inaugurated by
the railroads out of Savannah.
BIG EXCURSIONS BY
A. C. L. INTO SAVANNAH.
Oxer 2,300 Will Be Brongbt In To
morrow anil Wednesday.
To-morrow morning at 8 o’clock the
first of the series of excursions to be
run into Savannah by the Atlantic
Coast Line will arrive from South
Georgia and Alabama points, including
Mon trains will consist
of two Pullmans and twelve"Tx>aches,
carrying about 800 people.
On Wednesday the second excursion
will arrive ln two section*, fhe first at
* p. m. and the second at 9 p. in..
railroad time. About 1,400 people will
be brought Into Savannah on the two
train*. All Georgia points north of
Halnbrtdge will tend their quota of
visitors. Tickets will be limited to
three day*. Asa sample of the low
rates, ths Coast Lins has made a
round trip charge of *4 from Montgom
ery.
The object of the different dates fior
the fftcurskiß Is to give the road a
chance to handle the crowds without
taxing Its equipment too severely. The
excursion for this year promises to be
considerably larger than ever before.
Over 2,500 will be brought into Savan
