records is Mr.. G. II. Carson, who has been

other churches that his is model for all to
follow.
Delegates say the conference has been one
of the most successful held for years. Much

zens of Guyton.

Season in Forty Minutes.
The trains to Tybee yesterday carried a
large number of visitors to the island, and
left from the new depot at the foot Of Presi-
dent street, from which point they will
hereafter leave. The trains have thus far

into effect reducing the time between Sa-
Vannah and Tybee to about forty minutes.

City and Suburban street railways will
extend their tracks into the passenger shed,
SO that travellers will not have to get from

There will be special excursions to Tybee
from the interior on a larger scale than last

Myers expects heavy flow Of visitors to
Tybee. The Central road will advertise
special excursions to Tybee as it did last
season.

PLEASED WITH SAVANNAH.
a City Immortalized by the Heroisn
and Gallantry of Pulaski and Jasper.

A City Immortalized by the Heroism
and Galiantry of Pulaski and Jasper.
Rev. George w. Pepper, who lectured
here recently, on his return to his home in
Ashland. O., paid the south and the south
ern cities he visited some worthy comph-
ments from his pulpit. OF this city he said:
Savannah is historically among the
Oldest OF southern cities, a city immortalized
by the deeds in the revolutionary war of a
Pulaski, and hallowed by the heroic gal
lantry of Jasper. The noble monuments
which adorn the squares tell in eloC. .uent
language that Savannah bears upon her
helmet the scars of freedoms ba tiles.
"The city since the war has developed with
wonderful rapidity. Everywhere are signs
of material prosperity. Perhaps no South
ern city suff sred so severely as Savannah,
and its commercial pursuits were completely
paralyzed. Now we behold wealth, re-
finement, splendor. In education Savannah
has won a proud pre-eminence. Intelli-
gence, which has only glimmered like
lamp in sepulchre in some of the southern
states and cities, shines forth here like the
sun in the heavens In the number and
variety of schools, in the breadth and
thoroughness of the instruction, there is
abundant evidence of the public spirit and
liberalty of the citizens.
"The visit to Bonaventure, the city of the
dead, produces emotions which elevate the
mind and soften the heart. 1t was here
Whitfield, of blessed memory, founded his
orphanage, and John Wesley preached.
On, what beauty What magnificsnce!
What elegant avenuesl What noble trees,
with their Spanish moss, all green and
fragrant. 1t would be worth while to go
down there and die-to be buried in such
country.
The meeting, which was held in the in
terest of gallant cause, showed that the
people of Savannah were broad and noble
in their sympathies, that the ocean of their
philanthropy had no shore, and if the
winds and the waves of the Atlantic
could bear to Erin's green bosom
the mighty cheers of one Of the
grandest audiences | ever addressed,
those Celtic sufferers would be inspired,
that there were hands really 10 aid them in
rescuing the drowning banner of nationality
from destruction. A Scotchm Al sent me
delicious basket of flowers with this graphic
note: The roses are not from England,
nor the lilies from France, but the emblem
of Scotland is here The leaves of the
shamrock, though absent, are still to me n
ory dear
'T have no time to describe the unique
squares, the spacious streets, the imme nSe
cotton presses, the sumptuous homes, the
fine churches, the rare and noble hospi tality
of the people of Savannah"

b. cautiously reached out at one side and
grasped the round of an iron upright lad
der fastened to the wall fJr a fire escape.
Slowly and silently he descended, and event
ually dropped to the ground. There he
lay for full minute without moving, to
discover whether his tall had attracted at
tention. The detective never stirred, but
his heart beat high with exultation.
Presently the man rose AID half crept,
half walked to the corner of the yard op-
posite where the detective sat, and most re-
mote from the passage that led to the
street. Still the detective remained mac
tive. The dark, dim figure stopped and
with little Juggling lifted small paving
stone from its place. Then the detective
mis- back, manacled him and flashed the
rays of a dark lantern in his face.
1t was Theodore Dexter.
Il thought so,n was all the detective said,
but MIR. Dexter, completely unnerved, was
anxious for further conversation, lie Of
red substantial inducements to be let of,
but the captor was obdurate. Summonlng
his partner, he found all the missing prop
erty beneath the stone, and having filled
their pockets with it, they conducted the
crestfallen Dexter to headquarters and put
him in a cell.
The next morning he was pitiable spec
tacle He was less anxious than ever for
notoriety The long and short of his ex-
planation was that he was not one of those
who have strange mania for stealing from
themselves, but that he thought he
would have a little fun with the detect
ives.
1t is to be hoped that he appreciated the
end of the JOKE. He might have bothered
US a good deal had he stopped with the
theft of one night, but he was too anxious
to worry us and in OVERRIDING it gave the
clew that led to his exposure.
