THE DANGER FROM CHOLERA.
What Surgeon General Hamilton Says
About Savannah.

About Savannah.
Surgeon General John b. Hamilton, of
the Marine Hospital Service, is in the
city on his way to New Orleans to
attend the meeting of the American Medi-
cal Association. The doctor had quite
a lengthy conference with Or. White. Ma
rne Hospital Surgeon at this station. and
DR.. Mcfarland, chief Of the Savannah
health department. The consultation was
chiefly regarding the health OF the CITY
during the coming summer, and such pre-
cautlonary measures as are deemed best
to prevent any serious infectious diseases.
In speaking Of the probability OF the APP
pearance Of cholera on this side of the
ocean, DR.. Hamilton did not EXPIRE IS any
grave apprehensiOns, although, Of course,
he recognized the danger.
"Ihe rumors Of the presence Of cholera
IN Europe" said he, "are exaggerated.
There are cases In India and Ceylou, but
Europeis almost il not wholly free. Last
year il appeared only in the south Of Eu.
rope There were a few cases in Paris, but
Germany. Austria, and Great Britain
escaped Fit reappears 10 any extent his
summer 10 will be IN the same section.
Consequently we must watch for its l.st
appearance on this side in Cuba
or along the South Atlantic or Gulf coas Is
OF the l nlteQ states. An inspector has
been stationed at Havana, and q report q T
the first case will be cabled TO Washin e
ton"
Or. Hamilton paid high compliment

be added, sin dlthy cities, where the gut
tiers are half filed with piles Of reeking
garbage and where scores of people are
closely packed In lily ventilated tenement
houses. Savannah has neither OF these.
and the sandy, porous SOIL OF your
streets is not the kind that fur
nishes food for cholera germs. The death
rate among the white population Is quite
low-considcrably below the average OF
many other cities. However. all Of them
should pay especial attention TO sanitary
regulations this year"
Or. Hamilton will leave for New Or
leans this morning, and after the meeting
of the association he will inspect some
stations along the Mississippi and Ohio
valleys.

with gratitude do we refer to the
statement that fifteen Of our number have
united with this church. Many OF tuem
are young men.
zone attractive feature Of a sun day
school is its music. True devo ton
should unite praise with Dray yer,

We believe that good instrume ntal
music promotes and encourages the vO-

which is so well and so acceptably pla yed
by Mrs. Gustin, the cornet, which adds
very much to this department, enabling
the school by its clear. decided tones,
the more readily to learn the new pieces,
and sing them with spirit as they are &C
quired.
"a few months since a new music book
was introduced, from which the pieces
used this evening have been selected.
This has increased the number of visitors
TO the school at its regular sessions, and

casual way, the attendance Of those who
may become permanent and useful men,

SIN entering a Sunday school the ques-
ton IS often asked: Where are the young
men? whose absence makes so coBspicu-
Gus vacancy. In answer to this inquiry
by visitors, we take great pleasure in
showing them to the room where a class
of twenty-five meets each Sunday
under the leadership of Brother
, Rabun. With pleasure do we
point TO the large primary class
under the management OF Mrs. Baker,
Mrs. Wray and Mrs. Wells. To their
efforts is due manly the credit for obtain
ing the new scholars who during the
year have Joined the school.
''The total contributions for the year

assemble with us in our regular sessions.
"In looking over the records OF the year
past we find in its events more to call
forth feelings of JOY than sorrow-many
blessings for which we are thankful. Our
sessions have been held without Interrupt
