CHURCH OFFICERS INSTALLED.
DIR. SchnefTer Prenches TO Elders and
Trustees.

Trustees.
The installation of the officers of the
Lutheran church, elected last week, took
place yesterday after the regular morning
services by the pastor Rev. w. C. Schaef-
fer, u. d.
The following elders were installed: A.
Kessel NJ. L. Exley, Henry Roberts, A.
Furrer. John Behr, w b. Spann, j. III.
Allen, j. NJ. Daniels, r. w. Baughn, w H.
Berry, Benjamin Calls. The elders are
elected for two years.
The following are the trustees installed:
Jacob Paulsen, John Derst. John n. Cell,
Jacob H. Quint, f. A. NJ. Schroeder, c. A.
Munster. Henry Koshorn. The trustees
are elected for one year.
DIR. Schaeffer delivered a special sermon
appropriate to the occasion, on the duties
and privileges of the officers of the
church. The sermon was based on a por-
ton of the seventeenth chapter of Exodus
where Moses had instructed the Israelites
TO continue their battle with the Amale-
kites as long as they saw his hands upheld
in the air. His arms becoming weary, they
we're upheld by Aaron and Hur. one on
each side. This incident was used to illus
trate the services which the officers of
the church render to the pastor and to the
church. The responsibilities and duties
of the officers of the church and the re-
wards for their faithful SER
vice in this life and the life
to come We're dwelt upon. Particular
stress was laid upon the duties of the
officers in building up the congregation
and developing its social features by well
coming strangers.

THE SENATOR'S HERE TODAY.
They VIII Play the BrooLIyns This
Afternoon.

The Washington team will arrive in the
city this morning and this afternoon will
tackle Manager Dave Foutz's Bride
grooms." This will be the first game
either team has played against another
this season, and both teams are going to
play for first blood.
The game viii be more interesting than
the recent games played between the
regulars and the Colts, as there will be
two distinct teams. Gumbert or Lucid will
probably pitch for the "Bridegrooms' and
Daley will catch.
The Sporting News has this to say of
Frank Butler:
Frank Butler OF Savannah, who will
play in the outfield for Nashville. is a
promising player. lie is a natural bats
man and a speedy man on the bases II
he would learn to start after fly ball
sooner he would make an exceptionally
strong outfielder in my judgment"
Manager Manning of the Kansas City
Blues has signed Frank Connaughton Of
the Bostons, for short stop for the coming
season, and is said to have agreed upon a
very stiff price. Manning knows good
thing when he sees it.

TO PATROL BT DISTRICTS.
CHIEF WcDermott's SuEEestion 90 the
Police Committee.

Chief McDermott has submitted a plan
10 the police committee for improvlns
the manner 81 patronlne the city. He re-
CARDS the present system Of assigning
each man street and expecting him
TO walk up and down that street contin-
ually as antiguated and unsuited 20 pres
ent conditions
There are not enough policemen to plt
man on every street, AMI so more than
half OF the streets are continually with
out the presence Of a policeman. Another
thing is that the lawbreakers. who keep
a sharp watch on the movements OF the
police. have no difficulty 10 ascertainlng
on what streets policemen are on duty.
and at what time they viii pass a given
point on any street
IN looking al the map Of the city 20
occurred to Chief McDermott that DO
would be a much better idea TO divide the
city into districts and assign man 20
each district and holding aim responsible
for all laW-lessness occurring IN that disc
trict This idea occurred 10 him while
studying a map showing the divisions OF
the city into election districts. He con-
cluded that it would Roe much better
idea TO put "a policeman in each one of
these districts than to set them 10 walk
The division into election districts does
not quite on the bill, as some of the dis
tricts would have TO De subdivided, and in
the southern part of the city two small
districts could Dee thrown into one. by
assigning men TO the same districts reg
ularly. he says they would become famil-
lar with the people of the district, and
would know Just where to look for the
lawless elements ana from whom to eX-
pect assistance in case of trouble. They
would also obtain a knowledge of the
tough localities in their districts, which
would prove valuable whenever crime
was committed there.
In every other city I'm the country, he
says, this system is followed. and there
IS hardly a city in the country of the
size of Savannah where the city is pa
trolled simply by streets. For instance,
most of the beats down town run from
East Broad TO West Broad streets. and
IL is often the case that the policeman
is pulling his box at one end Of the street
when he is needed at the other end. This
is one reason why 1t Is so hard to find a
policeman when one Is needed. because
nobody knows where to look for him.
If the police We're distributed through
out the city by districts and the limits
of these districts were known, IL would
be much easier to find a policeman when
wanted. The only difficulty i'm the way
Of adopting this plan is the small num-
Der of men at the disposal of the chief.
The police committee has the matter
under consideration.

Ar THE THEATER.
saIvini's Engagement Tomorrow
and "wednesday Nights.

and wednesday Nights.
Among the many attractions patronized
by theater-goers during the present sea-
son. there have been few that have pre-
sented such an absolute change from the
ordinary routine as that promised in the
engagement of Alexander Salvinia to-
morrow and Wednesday evenings.
Since his last appearance here he has
added much to his ever-increasing fame
The prime factor in his rapid rise to dis
tinction is, of course. his brilliant revival
of the drama of romance, and if he ac-
complishes nothing else, it will be suf-
fcient to associate him very uniquely
with the present era of the American
stage. The romantic drama. 1t is true
deals in exaggerated and fictitious types,
and its atmosphere is artificial; but when
sifted down, its main elements are found
to be those of courage love and loyalty
The favorte themes of the playwright
of to-day, however, have a tendency to
appeal to those sentiments which it were
well to leave to the gutter novelists" of
La Belle France.
1t is quite an open question whether
the school of Dumas is not worth more
announcement than That of Pinero or
Henry Arthur Jones, and equally an open
question whether the modern drama is
becoming a healthy educator, as it is
claimed by many of the latter's adher-
ents. Be this as it may local patrons of the
drama are no doubt ready and anxious
to once more seek the plots and counter
plots of the stage, developed by action
if only as change from the miles of
endless talk so characteristic of the play
of the period. The two most famous
plays of the romantic school will be pre-
sented. "Ruy Bias" on the first night
and the Three Guardsmen" on the sec

zENO DIDET co UP.
The Balloon Ascension ut Wheel
mans Park Failed to Pan Out.

Prof. zeno's promised balloon ascen-
sion at Wheelmen's Park yesterday after
noon was not brilliant success. Several
hundred people gathered to witness the
performance, and many drove out in car
riages. The crowd waited patiently,
however, for an hour after the adver-
tised time, but the balloon had not be-
come properly inflated.
Prof Zeno stated that he had been
threatened with arrest to-day if he made
the ascension yesterday but he said he
was going ahead with it, anyhow. About
this time a leak was discovered in the
canvas, and it had to be sewed up. Some
of those who had waited for an hour or
more left.
1t was after Z o'clock and getting dark.
when the balloon became sufficiently in
flated for the ascension, and though a
start was made, for some reason or other
the performer did not get very high into
the air, and soon came down. The crowd
many of whom had waited for two or
three hours, was a rather disappointed
