A Dog finishes the GrowIer.y


From the San Francisco Call.

The dog belongs to a man named Smith,

When Mr.. Smith wants beer he simply
whistles for Carl, and the shaggy speci-

TERRENCE BENNETT DEAD.
The Fire Department Loses One of
Its Best Men.

Terrence Bennett, driver of No. fire
engine, died yesterday afternoon at his
home, No. 81 Broughton street. from jaun-
dice.
The deceased had been connected with
the fire department for over twenty-six
years, beginning his service in the old
volunteer days. His death removes a pop
ular and efficient man from the depart
ment, and his comrades and friends will
sincerely mourn his loss.
Mr.. Bennett leaves only one immediate
relative, Miss Mamie Bennett, his daugh-
ter, who has the sympathy of many
friends in her bereavement.
Chief Mcguire speaks in the highest
terms OF the courage, faithfulness and
efficiency of Mr.. Bennett as fireman.
He says:
mfr. Bennett has served under ten diff
ferent chief firemen and had the confidence
and esteem of every one of them. He was
a faithful servant of the city and an eff
Client fireman. In his young days he
added to the glory of the volunteers. fac
ing danger with the recklessness that so
often marked the work of the volunteer
firemen. In the new and modern depart
ment where his life was as perlous as that
of a soldier and when he faced danger as
the business of his vocation, he always
did his duty with a calm Indifference of
the danger surrounding him. He had a
reputation as a fireman that might be en-
wed by any member of the department."

Mr.. Bennett was a member of the Sa-
vannah Council No. / of the Order of
American Firement A delegation from the
council will probably attend the funeral
to-day, which takes place at 4:3o O'Clock,
from his late residence. Four pall-bearers
have been appointed from among the
members of the Order of American Fire
men and four others will be appointed
from the department to-day. Those of the
Order of American Firemen are Messrs.

PARADE OF THE ODD FELLOWS.
Five Thousand March Before 10000
Spectators at Dallas.


Dallas. Tex, Sept. 22-Fully 5000 odd
Fellows were in the parade to-day in
honor of the meeting of the sovereign
grand lodge of the world. It is estimated
that $4,000 spectators viewed the process
sion.
The election of officers of the SOVEREIGN
grand lodge took place at the afternoon
session. Fred Carleton of Texas was
elected grand sire. This is particularly
pleasing to the Texas Odd Fellows. The
elevation of a Texas member of the fra
ternity to the head of the order is a com
pliment highly appreciated. Texas Odd
Fellows have never before had a grand
sire chosen from their ranks.
A. S. Pinkerton of Massachusetts, was
chosen grand secretary.
M Richard Muckle of PHILADELPHIA was
reelected grand treasurer.
"A public installation of grand officers
will take place in Dallas next Saturday.
The selection Of the next place of meet
ing of the sovereign grand lodge will take
place tomorrow Hot Springs, Ark,
Nashville, Tenn, and Baltimore, Md, are
the candidates thus far announced.

LUCKY NAMES.
odd Applications That Cause People
To Smile and Remember.


From the London Spectator.
It does not seem feasible at first thought
that persons name could have anything
material to do with his success in life
much less that 1t could occasionally prove
to be the pivot upon which the loss or gain
of solid wealth is made TO hinge. Yet, de-
spite the abstract truth that the sound
OF ones name cannot actually make or
mar ones destiny, 1t undoubtedly often
has a curious influence upon ones career,
either for good or for otherwise.
Speaking generally, 1t must be admit
ted that most of us are apt, without at all
knowing why, TO mentally attach a sort
of dignity or Importance to the possessor
of a fine sounding surname. and vice
versa; and II is equally true that very odd
uncommon names. by catching on the
memory and coming most readily TO. the
tongue. sometimes bring their owners
slices of good fortune that they would
never otherwise have enjoyed SO 1t is no
exaggeration TO say that many a person
owes his position TO the mere fact of his
having lucky" name, and that, on the
other hand, others suffer from the reverse
case. So many instances Of this keep crop
ping up that the question is placed be-
yond doubt.
Perhaps it is rare indeed that the mere
sound Of a name has been made to stand
between a person and what, 10 all in
tents and purposes, might be regarded as
a fortune. This however, was really the
singularly hard case of gentleman with
whom the writer had a slight acquaint-
ance some years ago, and the circum-
stances were peculiar to a degree.
He-the gentleman In question-had been
led to expect a very handsome legacy
rio old enfUgfpr relative and
the strength OF the doctors report that
her days were numbered, proposed to take
a wife and set up in business. The aged
relative died, the bequest was even more
substantial tnan he mad anticipated; noth-
ing was amiss except the one eccentric
condition that, upon taking over the
money, he was also TO take over the de-
ceaseds family name, and perpetuate it.
This seemed a simple matter enough,
but II eventually robbed him Of his legacy
and marred all his prospects. The name

downright objectionable from the point Of
view OF euphony, woul1 Jar on ears poetl-
cal and set up an inevitable litter; and
the prospective bride declared at once
that she would sooner remain single than
be known by II. Finally the worried le-
gatee gave up his money and chose the
wife instead. The ironical humor OF the
situation lay chiefly In the fact that as he
subsequently discovered he had won a
virago as well as lost fortune.
The fact that there may be marked
luck" in name was, perhaps, never
more strikngiy exemplifed than by the
following historical incident. II was short
ly before the awful flight Of the French
legions from Moscow, when Il became r,i-
mored IN camp that Napoleon required
some daring spirit TO execute a delicate
enterprise which, although dangerous.

the Hon. Tom Endless Watson referred to

No further evidence Is necessary to
prove that Tom would be just the man to
preside over the United States Senate.

THE DRY SPELL BROKEN
Rain Followed by Cooler Weather
To-day and Tonight.

The rain yesterday brought relief from
the long drought. The fall was only
little more than one-fourth Of an inch,
but it broke the dry spell.
The day was warm. Mercury went up
to 80 degrees and the mean was degrees
above the average. Last night, however,
there was very perceptible change and
the temperature dropped several degrees
The conditions that produced the cool
spell are again present in the northwest,
and there is every probability of Savan-
nah's being revisited with another cool
wave. An area of high pressure is CEN

sin and is accompanied by low tempera-
ture. This will move south and south
