sundax,s Sermons.

Archdeacon Tichenor, of the diocese
Of the Episcopal church of Georgia, filed
the pulpit at the two services held here
on Sunday. His sermons were greatly
enjoyed by all present. The hour was
suggestive, for tasteful christian female
hands had decorated the sweet little
sanctuary becomingly for the day with a
beautiful array of lilies, and the soft
spring sunshine shed a sort of peaceful
lusre upon the scene. In the rear Of
the pulpit were the words in evergreen,
".ae Is Risen"
At the Baptist church DR.. Patterson
continued his discourse on the 'Resur-
rection." On the Sunday before he
practically proved the truth of the mat
ter, and then followed it up in another
sermon by showing the beneficial eff
fects upon individuals as well as the
world through the resurrection of Christ.
Iii was an able discourse and carried CON
vcti0n to the minds and hearts Of all
present At night the Rev. A. NJ. Mar
shall, Of Eatonton, preached an interest
ing sermon upon the "Sufferings Of
CHRIST"

Victory for a Paper.

Friday, in Judge Stacks Court in
San Francisco, the jury in the case
of Martin Kelly, the dethroned boss,
against the Examiner for S75, 900 for
defamation of character, returned a
verdict of not guilty after being out
seven minutes,
The Examiner accused Kelly of
stealing a fire engine belonging to
the city from the corporation yard
At the trial many witnesses swore
that kelly's reputation was bad.
The Bee, too, during the pas few
months, has been the defendant in
several libel suits, in all of which it
has been victorious
People who bring suits against re
putable journals -journals which are
willing to make reparation in their
columns for erroneous statements
are in Judgment, and not unfre-
quently 1t occurs, as in the Kelly
case, that their character is proven

THE COLUMBIA.

Never in the annals of naval war
fare has such a triumph been pro
duced as the Z. S. Cruiser Column
bia.
Faster than ever sped warship Or
merchsnt vessel, she steamed over
the coast from Cape Ann to Cape
Porpose on her trial trip with the
United States board of inspectors on
board. Her average speed for the
80 knots was 22.81 knots an hour.
But she steamed e knots of the run
at a rate that averaged 25.O3 knots
or little over 80 miles. 1t was a
magnificent display of speed, and by
her little four hours spin she won
for her builders (William Cramp &
SOM the neat bonus of $3.50, 500
When the speed was at the highest
point the whole form of the Colum =
bia vibrated with the fearful velocity
of the engines. The mighty shafts
revolved 2 times every second aud
the three huge screws churned the
water into great waves that rose high
about the quarter galley.
Never ship was built that equaled
the tremendous velocity which the
Columbia attained. 1t was not sn
easy task to stand on the deck and
face the gale which resulted from the
onward sweeping of the mighty ship.
Imagine, if you can, huge mass
of steel, iron and wood 400 feet long,
cleavIng the water at velocity of
over 80 miles per hour, driven on
ward by p, 900 horse power.
The Columbia was built entirely of
American material and is the fastest
war thip afioat.
Six such vessels as this could des-
troy the commerce of any nation,
and this engine of destruction is Ger
tainly the King of the Seas.
