THE NEW SAILORS BETHEL.
The Port Society Fitting Up the New
Quarters.

Quarters
Chaplain Gilmore of the Seamen's Bethel,
which was burned out few weeks ago, has
secured the large building on the southwest
corner Of Abercorn and Bay streets, and is
fitting it up handsomely for the sailors
Five rooms will be used. They are being
painted and thoroughly renovated. A
private room is being fitted up for the Off
GERS, and the chaplain will have a neat
office adjoining.
The reading room for the seamen is
large room, well ventilated and fronting
on the Bay. The room for games
will also be large one. The chaplain said
that he asked very little from the public.
A building was secured, and the renovation
will be done by his own force of men, and
under his supervision. An appeal is made
however, to those who are taking I'D
old carpets and disposing of old furniture,
to give as much as consistent to the Sailors
Hcme. Old pictures are desired. All of
the tables used in the old quarters were
saved from the fire. and they will be used
in the new quarters, but the number is in
sufficient for the needs.
Chaplain Gilmore said yesterday that no
sailors are being received now. The quar-
ters are not ready for them. Every prepara-
ton is being made for the winter season,
and he anticipates an immense crowd dur
ing the winter and he hopes to have the
quarters ample, in every respect, for their
shelter and amusement During the ex-
istence of the Bethel last season hundreds of
sailors received a warm welcome, and the
home was spoken of by sailors in almost
all parts of the globe. 1t has been well
advertised, and it is likely to suppose that
the number of visitors will be double that of
last season.
Chaplain Gilmore said that if the people
- -. . -I1 =.
etc., it will make it possible for HIM to fit
up the best seamen's bethel in the south,
He is striving to do this, and he is sure that
the people will give what they can.

Favorable Reports from the Clergy on
the Early Closing Movement
The Retail Dry Goods Salesmen's Associa-
ton held called meeting at Emmett hall
last night, Vice President P. J. McSoriey
presiding.
The committees appointed to wait upon
the clergymen and request them to use
their influence to aid the early closing
movement reported favorably. and the re-
ports were received with applause.
Several members addressed the meeting
and Endorsed the views which were ex-
pressed in a brief address made by Presi-
dent Sutherland,
In the course of his remarks Mr.. Suther-
land said that the object Of the association
is TO shorten the hours Of labor of the sales
people, and the utter impossibility of
efecting anything beneficial without the
cooperation of the employers should be
fully appreciated by the statesmen. The
latter must be linked arm in arm
with the employers, and nothing
detrimental to the business of the latter
should ever be considered. When a Gus
toner enters the store TO be served, even if
1t should be twenty-nine minutes after 6
o'clock In the evening, the shopper should
be as conscientiously served as if it were 9
o'clock in the morning. 1t is the public
that must be urged to adopt more reasona-
bic hours for shopping, not by attempted
compulsion to COME earlier, not to
slight them if they should, happen to be
late, but by appealing to their philan-
thropy, and he added: Gentlemen, you
will see how readily they will respond to
such an appeal when it is properly laid be.

public are sympathizsrs and we must repay
their kindness by cheerfully performing, in
every detail, the duties imposed upon us. T"
The remarks were heartily cheered, and
the association adjourned to meet next
Thursday night.

FROM THE FRUIT SECTION.

The Shipments Reported Larger Than
Ever Known Before.
R. Montfort, proprietor of the variety
works at Butler. spent yesterday in Savan-
nah Butler is on the line from Macon to
Columbus, the Centrars great through
route, fifty miles from either place, and is
in the heart of one of the most extensive
fruit sections in the state.
Mr.. Montfort said that the shipment of
fruit from Butler at this season is stupen-
dous. 1t is claimed that fruit will mature
several days earlier in that section than in
any other section of the state, and ship
menus have been made from there as early
as the first week in May. The growers
claim that the loose soil peculiar TO that
section keeps the roots Of the trees warm,
and this is the reaso1 assigned for the early
maturing of the fruit. Mr.. Montfort is one
of the most pushing, go-ahead men of his
section, and he is exuberant over the
thrift and energy that his town is develop
ing. He reports the thriving little town on
a steady growth. Besides having the
variety works, it has a singletree
factory, with a capacity of turning out be-
tween 500 and 1000 singletrees
daily. In addition to these industries
a stock company is being formed for the
purpose Of putting up cotton factory. A
large amount of stock has been taken and
Mr.. Montfort said that the prospects are
favorable for factory, operating two
thousand spindles. In the event the factory
is started, he said, Butler viii be the largest
industrial town in Middle or Southwest
Georgia, besides having a rank among the
leading agricultural centers of the state

FIX UP THE SQUARE.
Better Surroundings for the Jasper
Monument.

Better Surroundings for the Jasper
Monument.
There is considerable complaint because
nothing has been done to beautify the
square about the Jasper monument in Mad
ison square.
A member of the Jasper Monumental As
ISOLATION said, yesterday, that there is no
reason why the improvement should not be
made at once, and that there is no excuse
for delay, as the money has been lying idle
in bank for nearly two years. He could
not understand why some action had not
been taken except it was because some
wanted to fix it up one way and some an
other way, and as result no meeting had
been called to take action.
The general opinion is that the railing
around the square should be taken down,
the square curbed ard a neat railing OF
curbing built around the monument.
A gentleman prominently connected
with the street and lane committee said
that he was prepared to say that the city
will sec that the sqaare is kept in good con-
dition as soon as the Jasper Monumental
improvements. All is waiting on the
action of the association.
Some had thought lack of funds had
prevented the work, but since they Rave
learned that the association is provided with
ample means to make the improvements,
they do not understand why the unfinished
condition should remain any longer to mar
the conspicuous testimonial which the peo-
pie reared to the memory of the gallant
Jasper.
A member of the association said last
night: ''The work should Be done without
further delay or some reason assigned why
it is not begun"

laughter and applause was spontaneous and
frequent. The catching melodies and

her singing was warmly appreciated.

tonight with the "Mikado." "Ohvette'
will be given at the matinee.

The Young Mems Christian Association
members meeting at Masonic hall last night
was a small one. but it raised very nearly
81. 1000 toward securing permanent home
for the association. There was not a mem
Der present who did not give something
toward the fund, and one or two applica-
tons for membership were made to the
general secretary, and these were accompa-
MED by contributions.
The movement. encouraged by the pres
ence Of a very small part of the member
ship of the association, started with a
promise of not rs4ore than few hundred
dollars, and yet before The meeting ad-
1ourned the subscription was close to 81, 600.
In the absence from the city of President
Gilbert, Mr.. James Earle, Jr., vice presi-
dent of the association, presided He stated
briefly the purpose of the meeting to be
the starting of a fund for
the purchase OF the property at
the corner of Bull and Jones streets, upon
which the directors have an option. The
advantages to the association Of a perma-
nent home, he pointed out through COM
parative statistics and reports Of the work
of associations elsewhere which own build
ings, showing the work accomplished
through having the proper facilities.
The property which the directors are anx-
ious to secure is admirably adapted with
few changes to the purposes of the associa-
ton until such time as the directors
see their way to erect a new building. Mr..
Earle referred to what neighboring cities
in South Carolina and Alabama and even
in Georgia are doing toward securing build
ings.
Rev. J. w. Rogan spoke briefly upon the
general work of the association and the adj
vantages that would result from its having
a home properly fitted up for its work and
that it could call its own.
C. 2. Miller, former president OF the
association, and now one of its most active
workers, also urged the advantages and the
necessity Of home.
Through voluntary individual subscrip-
tons and by pledges, over 81 800, including
the directors subscriptions and one sub
scription of S25 from an Atlanta man,
were raised in one hours time. Another
meeting will be held next Friday night,
when reports will be made by special can
wasting committee. The gymnasium classes
will meet Thursday night to take steps, and
in the meantime the canvass will be pushed
among the members. AS soon as the fund
is thoroughly organized in the association
an appeal will be made to the public for
subscriptions.

Weak Women.

The more sensitive nature of the female
sex renders women much more susceptible
than men to those numerous ills which
spring from lack of harmony in the system.
The nervous system gives way, sick head
ache is frequent, the appetite is lost,
and other ailments peculiar to the sex cause
great suffering. Hoods Sarsaparilla is
peculiarly adapted for such cases, and has
received the most gratifying praise for the
relief it has afforded thousands Of women
whose very existence, before taking it, was
only misery. 1t strengthens the nerves,
cures sick headache and indigestion, purifies
and yitalizes the blood and gives regular
and healthy action to every organ in the
body.

THE MAILS GETTING IN.
The Post Office Employees Have a
Lively Week of 1t.


The mails were heavy again yesterday.
Only Wednesdays issue of the New York
papers was received, however. The weekly
papers came in lump, and together with
the delayed letters which ia lied to arrive
day before yesterday. it made business
lively for the post office employees. The
news rooms were crowded all day, as they
have been for the past three days, and trade
was brisk. The demand for New York
papers is in excess of the supply.
Sundays aud Thursdays papers, and a
good part Of Sundays letter mail, have not
been sent through yet. Some of the first
class matter, it is said, has been withheld in
order to allow the papers to come through.
The postoffice officials expect that the de-
layed mail will all come in this morning
and tonight over the Central railroad and
the Savannah, Florida and Western rail-
way.
Rapid progress is being made, repairing
the breaks on the Petersburg railroad and
the Richmond, Fredericksburg and Potomac
railway, aud it is thought that by Sunday
trains will be running through from Savan-
nah to New York. The Seaboard and
Roanoke railroad will be repaired before
that time
