sonic Temple.
The Savannah branch Of the National
Council Of Jewish Women held a meeting
yesterday afternoon at Masonic Temple.
There was a very large attendance, and
the meeting was a very successful one. 1t
was opened with prayer by Mrs, 1. =.
Mendes. This was followed by Mrs. Emile
Newman, who read an extremely bright.
scholarly. and interesting paper IN THE
Popular Estimate of the Jew, is il Fair?"
Mrs. Newman treated her subject from
many points of view and drew clear cut
and precise conclusions from the results
obtained by her careful analysis.
Mrs. J. Birnbaum gave historical read
ing on Judas and HOlofernes, which was
much appreciated, both from a literary
and historical point of view.
A debate on the subject. DO Jewish Wo-
men of Modern Times, Compare Favorably
With Those of Ancient Times was taken
part in by Mrs. Dryfus and Mrs. Solomons
for the negative. and Miss Lowenthal and
Mrs. Falk for the affirmative. The debate
was well sustained and spirited, and dis
played power and research on both sides
Hon. Herman Myers and Mr.. 1. G.. Haas
acted as critics, and decided in favor of
the arguments advanced by the negative
side.
The proceedings came to close with an
interesting address by Mr. S. l.. Lazaron
in which he paid a handsome tribute to
the good work accomplished by the coun-
Gill; and by Jewish women in general.

HIS Rack YARD A CEMETERY.
Willie Green Arrested for Burying "a
Child There.

Willie Green, colored, will face the re-
corder this morning on a rather unusual
charge. Green is charged with burying a
child in a soap box in his yard. Friday
afternoon he went to the office of Health
Oficer Drummer and secured a permit to
bury a still morn child.
There was nothing unusual in this, and
nothing was thought of it, The next morn
ing however, Chief Sanitary Inspector
Melvin learned accidentally that Green
had buried the body in his back yard on
Guerard street Inspector Wall was sent
to the place and found the body in the
yard. 1t had been placed in a soap box
and put in hole about a foot deep There
was nothing TO indicate that there had
been any foul play. The body was buried
in the yard simply to avoid the expense
of burying it at the cemetery.
Green was arrested by Inspector Wall
and sent TO the barracks. His act was in
plain violation of all the sanitary ordi-
nances regulating interments, but it may
have been that he acted through ignor-
ance The body of the infant was inferred
in the colored portion of Laurel Grove
cemetery, at the citys expense.

SIXTY-NINE YEARS OLD.
The Savannah Baptist Sunday
Schools Anniversary Celebration.

Schools Anniversary Celebration.
The Sunday school of the Savannah
Baptist church celebrated it's Sixty-ninth
anniversary last night. The celebration
was notable for the sweet singing by the
children and the beautiful decorations.
The anniversary celebrations by the Bap-
fist school are always attractive, and this
years celebration was even more so than
those in previous years have been. The
decorations about the altar and pulpit
platform We're elaborate. A semi-circle
of Corinthian pillows of evergreen
wound with roses, lined the pulpit plat
form. In the middle stood a beautiful
cross of eVergreenS and white roses, and
all around was profusion of flowers in
bouquets and banks. At a distance the
entire pulpit platform seemed mass of
flowers.
The exercises began with the singing of
the professional hymn. Labor On and
the hymn, Sing, . My Soul" The open
ing prayer was offered by Rev. A. d. Co.
hen and after it came the exercises by the
primary class, consisting of singing and
Rotations. The little ones did well all
that they had to do and the exercise was
one OF the most interesting of the celebra-
ton.
The song, wonderful Words of Life"
in which the congregat ton Joined, was then
sung. After it came the Scripture reading
by Mr.. J. r. Cain. The hymn, Christ, the
Lord, is Risen To-day" was then sung.
Supt. A. L. Earle, in his annual report,
gave d review OF what the SCnOOi mas QOnS
during the last year. The number of pu-
pills was 1874, officers 10, and teachers 26.
The average attendance was, pupils, 123,
officers, s; teachers, p, visitors, T. The at
tendance of pupils was somewhat less than
that during the previous year, but the
number of visitors was greater The de-
crease in the number of pupils was attri-
buted to the sickness that has prevailed
among children
The superintendent referred feelingly to
the death during the year of one of the
most active and Jealous workers in the
school, Mrs. Pearce, an earnest Christian
and one whose life was spent in the ser
vice of Christ. A beautiful memorial to
her, a Tyre of white roses and lilies, occu-
pied a place on the platform.
After the superintendent report the
hymn, They Wait Upon the Lord" was
sung. Rev. DR.. Goodwin made a short
and interesting address to the children
and after the school and congregation
sang the closing hymn, God Be With
You"
The exercises were interesting through
out, and at their conclusion many re-
NAMED TO see the decorations.

his LETTER or DECLINATION READ
To THE CONGREGATION.

He said He Had Given the Matter
Careful Thought Ever since He
Left Savannah. and Had Dec.~ed
Ii Was Best for Him TO Remain
With His Congregation at VIII
mingtOn-The Congregation OF the
Independent Presbyterian Church
Very Much DfsapPOinted-NO Fur
Their steps Taken Yet.
Rev. Peyton H. Hoge. D. D.. OF Whining
ton. y. c., viii not come 10 Savannah as
the pastor Of the Independent Pres5yte-
rian church. This announcement was a
great disappointment 10 the members Of
The congregation. who assembled yester-
day morning. and VIII be so 10 others who
viii learn Of # to-day.
The services were conducted BY Rev.
William Howell EayisF. ~ their concIu-
sion the members Of the congregation were
asked to remain. as there was a matter Of
Importance TO be communicated TO them.
That matter was DR.. Hoge's declinatiOn
of the invitation extended asking him to
come 10 savannah as the pastor OF the
church.
The letter was addressed to Mr.. Ran
dolph Arson, chairman OF the session, and
board Of trustees. Mr. Arson read It 10
the congregation. DR.. Hoge stated that
ever since his return to Wilmington ne
had given the matter careful and consid-
crate thought daily. but was finally i'm
PEELED to the belief that his duty required
him to remain with his charge in Whining
ton.
He spoke in the most pleasant terms Of
the people he met in Savannah, OF the en-
joyable visit he had with them, of the
magnificent church edifce and of the good
that Il might be possible to accomplish
here; but after full consideration OF all
these matters, which he stated he had
considered In thought and prayer, he
reached the conclusion that Il was best
for him TO remain with his church in
Wilmington.
DR. Hoge's decision in this matter is a
great disappointment TO the congregation
of the church. He was extended the in
vitaton without having been heard, and
without being personally known TO any
of the members of the congregation. The
invitation was unanimous, and after
hearing him on the occasion Of his visit
here the congregation was more anxious
than ever to have him accept the call.
lie was looked upon as the man needed
and II was believed that he would arouse
q broad and Thorough spirit Of enthusi-
asm among the members Of the cOngre-
cation which would have accomplished
much good for the church.
Few of the members of the congrega-
ton knew of the declination until the let
ter was read. 1t puts them back just
where they were, and makes II necessary
for them now to seek again for a minis
ter who will fill the pulpit as they believe
Dr. Hoge would have done. The officers
of the church will call another meeting
OF the congregation whenever they are
ready to take action in the matter, but
al yet they have no definite or settled
ideas as to what they viii do.
