FROM ONE PULPIT FOE TWENTY YEARS. Rev. Henry E. Lucas, Rector of St. Mark’s, Brunswick’s Oldest Pastor. STORY OF HIS WORK IN THE CITY. Today He Rounds His Twentieth Year of Service and Will Preach a Retrospec tive Sermon on Sunday. Today marks the close of the twen tieth year of consecutive service of Rev. Henry E. Lucas, as rector of St. Mark’s Episcopal church, this city. Mr. Lucas came to Brunswick in 1877, and has, since that time, with the exception of short vacations, been steadily at his post of duty, gaining the love and esteem of his congrega tion and of the public generally. During this period of his local pas torate Mr. Lucas has officiated at 380 baptisms, attended at 227 confirma tions, joined 81 couples in tin* bonds of matrimony and read the last sad rites over 216 graves. The venerable pastor was in his comfortable study yesterday with Rev. A. G. I*. Dodge when a Times man called and asked him for a review of his long local ministry. “It is quite a long time to look back upon,” he said. “When I first came to Brunswick the church building stood in an open field. It has been siuce en larged, and the rectory and the Sun day school have been built since I came, “During the first eight years of my ministry I bad the St. Simon congre gation also under my charge.” “And,” interrupted Rev. Dodge, “he is still the idol of the St. Simon peo ple who knew him as a pastor then.” Mr. Lucas was born in England, but came to America as a wider field for the work to which he bad consecrated his life. He was made a dean in 1870 and a priest in 1871. Before coming to Brunswick be served as dean of the convocation of Savannah for several years. One of his most important works in his Brunswick pastorate was the or ganization of the St. Athanasius mis sion, now conducted by Rev. J. J. P. Perry. This mission was formed in the Sunday school room of St. Mark’s. The many good deeds which this veteran in the Master’s service has done in the twenty years upon which he will look back retrospectively today could not be told in any newspaper. They are preserved, however, in the memories of those who know him and have felt the gentle influence of bis Christian life. On next Sunday morning Mr. Lucas will deliver a sermon reviewing bis twenty years of work in Brunswick. The service will be a notable one, and his parishoners, old and young, will gather to grasp his hand, and wish him many more years of usefulness. A special program of music has been arranged for this occasion. Do you want a cool shoe? If so, try a pair of our tan vici kid lace shoes for men. Palmer’s. After the Drum. \ The little steamer Ruby left her wharf at 1 o’clock this morning, hound for the drum fishing hanks off Cumberland. On board were Captain U. Dart, Captain Ernest Dart, Justice Lambrigbt, Dr. I. N. Bishop and brother, Captain B. A. Fahm, Messrs. Cecil Dart, Will Colesberry and J. W. Denby. They will retnrn Thursday. The Coveted Place. The contract for the management of Hotel St. Simon was not signed yesterday, although, as announced in yesterday’s Times, it is very probable that Jack Clancey will be the man ap pointed. Mr. Clancey will go to St. Simon today to look at the property. BEST SEASON OVER. Jekyi Clubhouse Closed After a Win ter of Gay Crowds. The Jekyi clubhouse has closed for the season. The help is returning north and the resort will soon put on its summer appearanoe. The season has been the most bril liant in the history of Jekyi. On sev eral occasions, guests had to be turned away for lack of accommodations. Superintendent Grob, Captain Clark and their assistants, have had about all they could attend to. Such prominent men as Chauncey M. Depew, Robert T. Lincoln, Mar shall Field, Joseph Pulitzer, J. Pier pont Morgan and Calvin S, Brice have been among the winter’s visitors. Hunting and fishing have been very good, and the wealthy guests spoke io highest terms, before departing, of the manner in which they were enter tained. The season has been marked by one sad event —the first death of a guest to occur on the island—that of Dr. Hoff man. The latest thiug in men’s oxblood lace shoes can be found at Palmer’s. SHOULD CONTRIBUTE. Brunswick Must Have the Pythian Grand Lodge Next Year. As already published in The Times, the local lodge of the Knights of Pythias are using their utmost efforts to secure the encampment of the grand lodge for Brunswick next year. Whether they will give the invitation or not depends entirely upon what our business men are willing to do toward helping provide entertainment. Perhaps many of the merchants do not fully realize the benefit that would result both to the city and to them selves if the encampment is secured. The fact that there will be at least 2,000 visitors ought to warrant any of them in subscribing a few dollars. It will be evidence of a lamentable lack of enterprise and public spirit among our citizens if this opportunity is al lowed to pass. The most comfortable shoes you ever wore are Palmer’s tans, plain toes, common toes, needle toes. Come and we will fit you. LOOKING AT PLANS. Commissioners Had an All Day Ses sion, But Didn’t Get Through.

The remitter from the supreme court in the Lowry murder case was received by Deputy Clerk Lehman yesterday, who notified Judge Sweat,in order that he may set a date for resentencing the old man to death. The case, in the meantime, will go before Governor Atkinson, on a plea for executive clemency, filed by Attorney G. B. Mabry. $3 buys anew common toe, tan shoe from Palmer. Navigating Officer. Capt.

General Floyd King, who will b 8 marshal of the day is arranging for the biggest observance that Bruns wick has ever seen. With the visiting military and a speech from General Evans the day will be one of interest to all the people. WHY NOT GRAINP A Western Man Talks of the Possi bilities of Our Port. s A reporter for The Times yesterday interviewed a Kansas City gentleman who is connected with one of the larg est grain firms in the west. His house does both domestic and export grain business on a very extensive scale. He said : “Our firm exported more than 2,080,- 000 bushels of corn alone this winter through New Orleans and Galveston, and l see no good reason why Bruns wick cannot soon take a high stand on the list of grain shipping ports. “The fact that you have as good a harbor as any city on the south Atlan tic or gulf is commanding widespread recognition. Your port is also much nearer Kansas City than New York, Baltimore and Norfolk, and the only reason why grain is not exported here is that you have no elevator. This ren ders it an impossibility to handle grain in large quantities or as cheaply as ports where there are elevators. “If one of your railroads would build an elevator of adequate capacity it would not be six months before £rain would be going over the bar by the shipload. If your railroads pretend to co-operate with steamship lines with a view of working up export trade, they are neglecting the most important line by not building eleva tors for grain.” No comments are necessary on the above self-evident truths.
