O’clock—Father Huntington Will

This Afternoon.
To-day Is the last day on which all

the missioners at St. Paul’s Episco

service on Wednesday morning, after

10:30 o’clock in the morning. At 10
o’clock morning prayer will be held.
At 4 o’clock in the afternoon the last
children’s service will be held, and'
the clergy conducting the meetings are
very anxious that all their little
friends attend this service. At 8
o’clock the intercession will be held
and at 8:30 o'clock the last of the
sermons, with instructions, On Wed
nesday morning at 6:45 o'clock Hoiy
Communion will be celebrated. This
will be the last service of the mission.
There will be a general regret among
the members Of St. Paul’s Church that
the services are to .close. Unusual in
terest has been taken In them and the
concise, forceful, and eloquent ser
mons, together with the clear exposi
tions of the instructions have made a
deep impression, and much good is
certain to result. The clergy who have
been in charge, Rev. Fathers Hunting
ton and Hughson, have made many
friends here who will regret their de
parture.
The services last night were well at
tended and the usual interest shown.
Father Huntington preached another
strong sermon from the subject "Chris
tian Character.” Rev. Father Hugh
son followed with the instructions,
bringing out the essentials of Chris
tian character, how they are obtained,
and how kept secure against the world.
Both the sermon and the instructions
were in fitting sequence to those that
have preceded.
At the close of the service, Rev.
Father Huntington made the an
nouncement concerning: the servioea of
to-day. In speaking of the last ser
ice tot children, held at 4 o’clock this
afternoon, he especially urged the
members of the parish and all w-ho
have been Interested in the work for
children to attend this service in or
der that they may see the results that
have been attained.
It is especially urged that every one
who has attended the Mission during
the last ten days, and all members
of the parish be present at the pos
ing service of the series on Wednes
day morning.

MANY APPLICANTS
FOR PANAMA WORK.
More Than *!> Applications Made at
l’oatoflice.
The announcement of the approach
ing examinations for appointments un
der the civil service rules In Panama,
with an eight-year contract, has in
creased the work of Mr. Arthur Rob
inson, secretary of the local civil serv
ice board of examiners.
From the day the announcement was
first made public the applications for
blanks and full particulars have; been
pouring in, and yesterday alone found
seventy-five prospective applicants
asking for the regular application
blanks.
The majority of the applications thus
far hfive been for the positions for
whicK the highest qualifications are
required. Several have filled out
blanks for the office of physician and
assistant physicians, and there have
been many requests for the full par
ticulars regarding nurses’ requirements.
The mechanical positions and the la
boring positions are also Inquired
about and the indications are that Sa
vannah will furnish as many appli
cants as cities much larger.
It is probable, if the conditions at
Savannah can be taken as a criterion,
that the applications for service in
Panama will exceed those for any of
the other special positions offered. The
.terms are very liberal, every possible
Comfort and convenience has been pro
vided for those who are successful,
dnd the liberal terms regarding leave
of absence make the offerings on the
isthmus unusually attractive.
MORE THAN $60,000
WAS PAID IN TAXES.
Force ill Collector's Office Hnsy
Throughout Yesterday.
Yesterday was the last day but one
on which taxes could be paid, the
books of Collector Thomson closing to
morrow night. The delinquents rushed
to the office and when the opening hour
arrived there were thirty-odd waiting
to hand over their money. And the
rush kept up throughout the entire
day, some taxes being paid even after
6 o’clock. It was one of the busiest
days that the collector has had in some
time, and the rush to-day promises
to exceed even that of yesterday.
When the office had closed and a
hurried survey of the amounts re
ceived had been made, the indications
were that more than $60,000 had been
paid during the eight hours that the,
office was open. This came in amounts
of all sizes, varying from the small
sum of the small property holders to*
the large amounts assessed against Sa
vannah business concerns. It is alto
gether probable that 'an even larger
aggregate amount will be taken in to
day.
There is no longer 'any doubt that the
showing this year will be equally as
good as that of other yea ra, and it
may even run in excess of that
amount. The books will close to-day
and the list of delinquents will then
be handed over to the sheriff for the
collection of the amounts charged
against them.
SUBWAY WORK GETTING ?
ALONG NICELY NOW.
It Cannot Be Finished in Contract
Time, However.
Though there is still quite an amount
of work to be done on the Gwinnett
strqet subway, it is now a
finished look.
The retaining walls on either side are
about completed, and it can now be
seen how the subway will look when
finished, despite the rubbish on hand.
jan. 1 was the time set in the con
tract for the completion of the sub
way, but it cannot be finifehed by that
time. The work has been progressing
rather rapidly recently, though, ' and
it will be finished within a few Weeks.
The subway will have to be paved
after the rest of the work is finished,
so it will be some little while before
it will be opened to the public.

CASES OF GRIP
CURED BY
Johnson’s Chill and Fever Tonic
Office of CALDWELL COMMISSION CO.
CHICAGO, ILL, Jan 21, 1393.
MR. A. B. GIRARDEAU,
Savannah, Ga.
Dear Sir—My son, a man of thirty years, was
attacked with La Grippe, and believing it to be of
malarial origin, took your Johnson’s Tonic as and reel
ed for Chills and fever. The result was he escaped
the fever which follows the severe aching, and was
able to be at work the second day. I was taken with
the disease. Every bone in me began to ache, and
my suffering was great. 1 was compelled to go home
and to bed. I fully expected to be there a week.
Mv son told me of his experience, and urged me to
take Johnson's Chill and Fever Tonic. I did so—
took it with regularity all through the night—and was
agreeably surprised to see that no Fever came. I
continued until 1 had taken eight doses—felt weak
and exhausted, but no fever, and aching disappeared.
Next morning 1 had agood appetite for mv breakfast,
and felt quite well, and went to my business as well
as 1 ever was. Since then 1 have tried it with like
results on two other cases. Yours truly,
W. W. CALDWELL,
President and Manager.

Another Old Ilunco On me Com

Another old time bunco game was
complained of at police headquarters
yesterday when Jackson Martin, a ne
gro from the country, appeared and
told how he had been done out of $lB.
Martin was accosted on the street
by two negroes, who Invited him to
have a drink. He accepted, and Just
as they came out of the bar on West
Broad street one of the trio stooped
and picked up a pocketbook. On open
ing it all were amazed to And a SSO
bill Inside.
The finder reluctantly agreed with
his companion for an equal'division of
the money between the three. No one
could change the bill. One of the
negroes asked Martin how much mon
ey he had. He said he had $lB. He
was prevailed on to give the man who
had found the purse the $lB, v'hile
lie and the other man retained the SSO
to get changed and divide. The re
maining stranger went Into a nearby
store and said he could not get change
there, that he would step across the
street and get It.
When Martin appeared at police
headquarters he said he had been
standing on the corner waiting for the
man with the change for the last sev
en hours, and he finally concluded there
was very tittle probability that he
would return.

Theie were 200 or more, who Joined

chosen ware as follows:
Deputy Supreme President—W. W.
Starr.
President—P. A. Stovall.
Vice President —Frank M. Oliver.
Past President —Robert L. Colding.
Treasurer—Barron Carter.

Guide—Chris. J. Melvin.
Guardian—W. T. Dixon.
Chaplain—J. 8. Tyson.
The Savannah dam started as one
of the largest that the Beavers have
ever built and the work took some
time. But it was built well and se
curely and will endure.
