he asked els it rest, gentlemen, to set
type on Sunday, to sit at your case from
IL O'Clock Saturday night until 3 o'clock
Sunday mOrning2 Is ii rest to run the
press on Sunday and scatter thousands of
papers over the country! It's fragrant
violation of Gods law.
Is it rest to run railroad trains and
street cars on Sunday, you engineers and
mOtOrmen2 It's a shameful violation OF
God Almighty's law Is it rest to 20 on
Sunday excursions? have got down to
Savannah, now, and [ am looking right
into that pew. / have the testimony of
master mechanics and other employees,
and they tell me that Mondays work is
badly damaged when the operatives go
on Sunday excursions.
PLEASURE SEEKERS BEWARE.
Let me tell you, YOU Sunday excursion
people, it is shameful violation of Gods
law, The great cry is that the toiling
people should have recreation. If a man
has got grain of sense he will see
through that sham. Do you violate the
Sabbath for pleasure, and do you take
pleasure in the viOlationln
DR.. FARRELL spoke of the burning of a
negro in Texas which occurred some time
ago. 81 shudder to think" ne said that
a man could find pleasure in such crime.
But if you who call yourselves Christians
take pleasure IN violating the Sabbath,
you delight in dong what breaks God 5
heart These violations of the Sabbath
are a deliberate'and defiant trdmpling I'M
der foot of Gods law. Corporations
which compel their men to labor on the
Sabbath deny to them the right guaran-
teed TO every man by the constitution of
the United States to worship as he
pleases.
THREE CLASSES OF SABBATH BREAKERS.
There are three classes of Sabbath
breakers and thus three classes of mo-
tives There is no turpitude or bad mo-
tive in the man who labOrS on the Sab
bath to keep his family in bread. Sab
bath pleasure-seeberS have an ignoble
nature for an igno6le deed.
Tho third class are the men who
break God 5 law for money, and sell out
their moral character for gold, which is
not lasting, for it is losing business. If
it were not for the fact that there is
on Sunday, no more Sunday excursions.
1t is selling Gods Sabbath. for gold deny
it if you can.
Ii there's anybody in the world who
has won the worlds champion belt for
hypocrisy, it is the worlds fair commits
siOncrs They've won it fairly, and no
one can wrcst 1t from them. In the
| same class the worlds fair and corpora
tions, DR.. FARRELL put the purchaser of
Sunday ice, and of all articles not abso-
| luJely necessary. He closed with Il
strong appeal to all to do nothing in vio-
lation Of the commands with regard to
the Sabbath day.

He is Contemplating Retiring From
the City Council

An Understanding at the Time of
His Election that He Would Serve
Until the Completion of the New
Water Works Which were Begun
Under His Chairmanship Of the
Water Committee.
The city council may have vacancy 10
fill soon. and if this should be the case,
there will have to be a new chairman Of
the water committee. It has been known
to members Of the board for some time
that Alderman Cam was contemplating
sending in his resignation shortly.
Alderman Cam entered the present
board under protest. He did not desire
reelection, but his friends insisted that
he allow his name to be used on the
McDonough ticket.
This, together with his desire to see
the new waterworlIs plant, which was
begun under his Craftsmanship, brought
to completion, decided him to enter the
board again. II was understood at the
time of his election that he would prOba-
bly, not serve out the term. In fact, he
made known his desire to resign shortly
after his reelection, but was persuaded
from doing so by his brother aldermen.
CONSIDERING MS RESIGNATION.
The new board having settled down to
work in good order and the waterwOrks
plant being practically completed, it is
pretty generally understood that he is
again considering the question of resign
ing. II was even said that his reslgna-
ton had been handed in.
The alderman was seen yesterday. He
said he had been considering the question
of resigning, but this was nothing new,
as it had been known for some time that
he would probably not serve the term out.
He has not resigned vet, however, and may
not do so, although that has been his in
tention. His desire 10 give more attention
To his business. he said, was his chief
reason for desiring to leave the board.
FOUR YEARS AN ALDERMAN.
Alderman Cam has been a member Of
the board of aldermen four years and a
half He was elected on the Thomas
ticket at the time of Mayor SchwarZ' S
election in 1889 He was made chairman
of the city lots committee and made his
record during his first term as an able
and energetic alderman. He was elected
again on the McDOaOugh ticket IN 1891,
and was made chairman of the
water committee Under his chair
manship the new water works
have been constructed. He has been ac-
tive besides in all matters in which the
cIty's interests were involved. He was
elected for the third time in January.
Alderman Cam has always been regard
ed by his associates in council, and the
public as valuable man.

STILL HAVE THE CoLoRs.
There Have Been No Competitive
Drills at Camp Northen Yet.

4nefe 66V6 Been NO CCnpeIlC1V6
Drills at Camp Northen Yet.
Corporal r. L. Pritchard, of the Georgia
Hussars, returned lastni from Griffin,
where he had been to spend Sunday with
the boys
1.-The Hussars were very much sur
prised, - he said, Ito read in the dispatch
to the MORNING News that Troup | Of
Jesup had been chosen to carry the reg
mental colors for the ensuing year by
reason of their efficiency in drill,
''The statement is Incorrect" said Cor
poral Pritchard. There has been no
competition drill in Camp Northen this
season. There will be one competition
drill before breaking camp, but in this
the Georgia HusSars will not participate
owing to the fact that nearly all of the
on-commissioned officers, as well as
several of the privates, have been
the other cavalry companies.
As there have been no competitive
drills the Hussars are still in possession
of the colors, and they will be more than
apt to retain them for another year"
This will be welcome news to the peO-
pie here who may have inferred that the
colors had already gone from the Guards
because they were out-done in competi-
ton, which was not the case.
Another error, said Corporal Pritch-
ard, was the statement that Capt. Fra-
ser, of Troop B, led the shooting on Sat
urday, with a score of 80 out of possible
so. Five of the Hussars made better
scores, Private Wilson making Al, Pri-
waite Shuptrine 40 Private Dancy 80, Ser
geant Postell 30 and CommissarY Hunter
36. The militia has been in camp now
just four days, and during three of them
members of the Husaars Dancy, BrnsOn
and Hull, have been chosen as ordcries
to the colonel.
Guard Inspector Capy. Kenan paid a
personal compliment to Sergeant West
Saturday, on his proficiency in guard
mounting, stating ut headquarters that
he was dee de 1 Improvement owe C1r4C
raj West Of last year. He also compli-
mented Corporal Elliott On his willing
ness and proficiency in doing double duty
in guard mounting.
Private Keller, one of the new recruits
has worked himself down to q fine sol
der, behaves himself like an old veteran
and is the life of the camp.
Corporal Constantine, better known as
"Bronco" amuses himself by para1iug up
and down Company street smoking Jim
my Young's pipe which reaches to his
knees.
Sergeant Posteu is keeping the boys
straight, and everything with which he
is connected is carried out in tho
roughly military manner.
Sergeant Harrison went on duty day
before yesterday as sergeant of the guard
and discharged his duties as only Ser
geant Harrison can.
Private Connerat has been confined
to the hospital ever since he has been in
camp but is now much improved and eX-
poets to be discharged tomorrow

ODD THINGS IN THE NAILS
Some Queer Letters Postmaster Doyle
Receives.

All Sorts of Interrogatories Put to
Eim-A Western Young Woman
Wants to Know Something About a
Savannah Attorney-A South Caro-
lima Girl With Bad Case of Stage
Fever-An Englishman's Son Found
in Savannah.
Postmaster Doyle was reclining in his
easy chair waiting in vain for the arrival
of the sea breeze looking over numberof
letters, curiosities in their line which had
found their way to his official sanctum.
"Here's a man who wants to know, >" he
said to q MORNING NEWS man, whether
the postmaster at Savannah inclines to
be horseman or a niger" | wrote
that man pretty hot reply, when the
letter was handed me and here is his
semi-apolOgetic answer"
The letter was written by some
clerk in the Office of q well-known
publication dealing almost altogether with
horse flesh, to Savannah man who had
complained that he had not received the
paper TO which he had subscribed, and
was by him handed to MIR. Doyle The
| answer to Mr.. Doyle's letter put the
blame upon one Of the clerks and said
| this clerk in particular was inclined to be
little jocose at times, but that he was a
good republican and had voted the
! straight Harrison ticket The firm seemed
| to consider this explanation entirely salts
| factory.
Il get some peculiar letters of this kind
| almost every day in the week. Post
master Doyle said Here are several
which are curiosities in their way"
ABOUT A SAVANNAH ATTORNEY.
The first of these was written in deli
; cate feminine hand and was addressed to
/ the postmaster at Savannah. 1t came
( from one of the Western states and was
/ regular catechism, with a request that an
J answer to each of the questions be given.
| 1t began with:
! known young attorney of this city. The
! questions were all concise and to- the
point, the next one being
| us he a widower, or is he married
man."
Then followed a long series of such
| questions as is he a successful attorney
at-law? Has he a lucrative practice2 is
! he temperate, moral and religious2 Does
! he use tobacco! What is his financial
| standing! Is he TRUTHFUL Size Complex
| ion! Politics?
The fair feminine writer seemed exceed
| ingly anxious to get at all the details and
explained her inquisitiveness by saying
| that the young man in question was an
| unknown correspondent of hers. and she
! didn't believe in trusting to blind luck
! She requested an immediate answer, but
! sad to relate she got none at all and her
| curiosity remains unsatistied In all
! probability she had advertised for q hus-
| Band.
SHE WAS STAGE STRUCK.

What was reported 10 be- tragedy yes
terday proved on investigation NOT 70 be
one a telephone message was received
at police headquarters in the morning
from Magistrate Blois at Isle Of Hope,
stating that "a murder had been commit
ted. and asking that Detective Morgan
and the coroner be sent out at once TO
hold an inquest and arrest the murderer.
Acting Coroner NauRhtin and Detective
Morgan were notified and left for the
scene Of the reported tragedy as soon as
they co uld secure conveyanccs.
The report originated ia difficulty in
a negro family living near Isle Of Hope
Patsy Polina, an old negro woman,
lives about half a mile from the town
with her daughter and son-in-law. She
has been in i'll health and was not very
strong Yesterday morning the daughter
and her husband had row. The old
woman attempted to Interfere ana her
son-in-law struck her. She fell over In a
faint. Her daughter, thinking she was
dead ran out screaming chat her mother
had been killed The report
spread rapidly that the woman had
been murdered by her son-in-law.
Magistrate Blois Immediately issued a
warrant for the mans arrest and tele-
phoncd for the coroner and Detective
Morgan. His promptness In taking steps
to enforce the law proved unnecessary,
however.
When the coroner and the detective ar
rived they found the old woman sitting
up in bed and taking life easy. She had
only fallen over in faint and received
no serious injury from the blow she had
received.
Coroner Naughtin and Detective Nor
gan did not relish their long drive in the
hot sun and were OF the opinion that an
investigation should have been made to
ascertain the facts before sending for
them.

DOUBT OF KELLY's CRIME.
The FinkIeas Do Not Believe He AS
saulted Their Child Now.


saulted Their Child Now.
The case against Richard Kelly, the
the 17-year-old colored boy who
was lodged in the barracks yesterday
morning by Detective Bossell. under a
charge of assaulting little white girl
does not seem to be so black as at first
appeared
1t is very doubtful whether Kelly COM
mitted any assault upon little Mamie
Finklea the 5-year-old daughter of
Baker Finklea, and 1t is not certain that
he even attempted it, That he exercised
unwarrantable familiarity with the child
appears very certain, though Kelly per
sistently denies even that.
Little Mamie was seen at the home Of
her parents on Sims street yesterday
She is bright looking, blue-eyed little
girl. She was playing with two other
children and running around the house in
a lively way, and it was evident that she
had not suffered any such injury as was
reported Both the father and mother
agreed in this. They did not believe the
child suffered any injury About
twelve months on the chain-gang, they
think, will be sufficient for Kelly, and
Mrs, Finklea said she would be satisfied
if the boy were given thrashing and
turned loose.
Mrs. Finklea visited Kelly at the bar
racks yesterday He thought she had
come to take him out, and picked up his
hat as soon as he saw her coming. He
was much disappointed to find that such
was not the case. He persisted in his de-
NAL of the charges against him and would
acknowledge nothing, but said he had
seen the girl with other negro boys
A visitor to the barracks told Kelly
yesterday afternoon that he might go
with thrashing. Cant git dc thrash
in dis afternoon, bossi" he said He evil

fnNOr.

try girl who lives in South Carolina. She
was stage struck the worst kind and
wanted an engagement with some theatre
cal manager at once.
She had enclosed several of her photo
graphs, which she declared were very
poor il1enesses of the original, and she
quoted at length from some novels she
had been reading in order to throw some
little romance about her desire for stage
notoriety.
II think feel, know l shall succeed, :"
she said, land although | am not profess
sional, intend to be, and what's more,

self she said that she was "red-headed,
yellow-eyed and pug-nosed," which de-
scription the photo substantianted in toto
She felt, however, that she could over
| come all these difficulties, and that sue
| cess would crown her every effort.
Postmaster Doyle said she had the
worst case of stage-struck he had ever

EQUALLY AS QUEER.

Another letter was from a progresses
ing and unobnoxIous old maid Of about 40,
who lives in one of the adjoining states,
whose father had been congressman,
and who wanted a position in the post
masters family. She talked rs if every
thing had been arranged, wanted TO
know how many children she would have
to take care of and what her salary would
be, She is still looking for the position.
An EngliShman wrote to the postmas-
ter day or two ago asking him for some
information with regard to his son, who
had been away from home for years, and
whom he had learned was living in Sa-
vannah. Thinking his boy might be in
need the father had sent him Els in
English money, with a request that it be
given to him if found Postmaster DOYLE
discovered through one of the carriers
that the boy was in Savannah and his
fathers communication was given to him.
This occurred only day or two ago and
the old gentleman is probably now anx-
lously awaiting some news with regard
to his son from whom he has not heard in
years.

FOUND HIS DAUGHTER.

A man in Germany recently wrote for
some information with regard to the
whereabouts of his daughter, who he
thought was living at Urquhart, Ga.
She was located at Urquhart, S c., and
the people with whom she was living
said they would send her home if the pass
age money were forthcoming
Letters of complaint with regard to the
delivery of mail are frequent, and often
it is more from the fault of the individual
than that of the Office. Queer letters of
this kind are received every day or two.
and from the persistencY of many of the
anxious inquirers they seem to think that
the postmaster conducts a bureau of gen
eral information.
