triangular entry and vestibule; be-
tween both entrances, facing Drayton
street, will be . comfortable lobby, which
turns and occupies also most of the Bay

very ornamental enclosure there will be
the wickets Of the several bank officers,
and the savings department.
The presidents and cashiers desks will
remain pretty nearly in their present
location, and the directors room and
toilet room will also be located as they
are present, on the lane side.
All the bank fixtures will be of an
elaborate character, finished in hardwood,
with handsome iron scroll work on top ;
the lobby is to have marble tile floor ;
both gas and electric light will be intro
duced.

gard TO the comfort of the public and

kind, President Keiffer took him up and
agreed to arrange for the shoot.

first-class order for its purposes. A
general club shoot will be held at the

The Purchase a Bona Eide One and Sa-
vannah Will Have a Good Team.
The Savannah baseball franchise has
been purchased by well-known citizen
of this city. The purchase is bona fide
one, and within few days all arrange
ments with regard to its transfer will be
completed.
The purchaser is not ready as yet to
give to the public his plans for the sea-
son, but it is certain that there will be
no defects in the contract. The gen.
tleman in question obtained authority
from President Nicl1lin to purchase the
franchises from Jas. H Manning, after
which he made Manning an offer for it.
He has just received a telegram from ex-
Manager Manning telling him that his
offer was satisfactory and that he would
write at once.
The franchise, however, will be in good
hands, and the purchaser, who promises
to give his plans to the public in few
days, says he will get together one of the
best teams that has ever been seen in Sa-
yannah

RABBI JOHN SERIOUS.
40 Asserts That He is True Pastor
and Witness for the Lord.

Rabbi John Sergius Ben Israel, who
has figured in the newspapers as Chris
tian Jew, but whom the authorities in
the country where he claimed TO
have a church know nothing about,
has written a letter in which
he asserts that he is what he claimed to
be. The letter is in reference to the ar
ticle published in the MORNING News last
week. 1t is addressed to the Wilmington
IN. c. Messenger, and is as follows.
Addressed to all churches, elders, Chris
tians and brethren: The Messenger OF the
l4th Of January, 1894, says that no Christian
Jews, whom l represent, had a church. This
is a mistake For twenty-seven years, two
months and fifteen days / have been n or
dained minister. There are mixed children
of Israel, who came from Samar1a ana from
Chaldea, and we speak the same language
Samaritan and Chaldean. We are not on the
English roll, and never have told anybody
that my wife was employed by or was In any
wise connected with the London missionary
society.
The American Israelitish papers stand
against me, as 1 am converted Jew but |
am not Jew but OF the church established
by the apostle St. Thomas; not Jew but an
Israelite
Look TO and search church history you will
find that many Chaldeans and SyriaLs were
converted by the apostle St. Thomas. They
we're all from the children Of Israel. Rabbi
Wise, OF Cincinnati calls me an oriental
scamp, but am not. / am a true pastor and
witness for the Lord Jesus Christ

the facts look for the truth which teaches
that Jews stand against Israelites who be-
teVe in Christ.

mind as to how Jews stand against an Israe-
lite Christian.
