labOred in the interests OF truth and re-
ligion. Though the prophet, the worker
may be nameless, he said, II his works

lesson drawn from the parable was that
disobedience to the commands Of God
given in the Bsble leads 10 punishment,
10 destruction and death.
After concluding the services with
prayer, DR.. Vass said he wished to make
an explanation with regard TO a letter
ne mad written to one OF the deacons
giving the reasons for MS requesting the
presbytery to dissolve the relations be-
tween himself and the church. He read
the letter, he stated, because some IN
just and improper remarks with regard
TO It had been made. When he finished
the letter he said he would make no re-
marks with regard 10 it. simply desiring
10 leave the whole matter to the congre-
cation for its consideration.
After the meeting there was meeting
OF the session of the church to consider
some business matters. Several members
OF the church have asked for their letters,
signitying their intention to Withdraw

Very favorable progress ON the work for
the May week celebration was reported
at the meeting Of the directors of the Mill
tary Interstate Association yesterday. The
grounds are being rapidly put in shape,
and all arrangements have been made for
the preparation within few days of the
camp site for the visiting troops.
One of the most important matters act
ed ON was the admission to the grounds of
the Savannah military men. Col. ]. H. Es-
till suggested and stated at the previous
meeting that members of the local militia
ry organizations when in uniform should
be admitted free to the grounds during the
drills and exhibitions. To this the MAORI
ty of the directors at that time were OPP
posed, but after a consideration of the
matter a different conclusion was reached,
and the result was the passage of the fol-
lowing resolution introduced by Capt. Will
Resolved, That all bona fide members
of regularly organized white military
commands, whether stationed in Savannah
or elsewhere, shall when in the complete
uniform of their commands be admitted
free to the grounds during the day time;
and that the secret ary communicate to

THE LAST OF THE SEASON.

May Week.

May Week.
The last performance Of note for the sea-
son took place last night at the theater
when the opera wang" was presented,
with Albert Hart, and Georgia Game in the
principal roles. Mr.. Hart is a gentleman
whose length of limb is as great as his
humor is broad. 1t can hardly be said
that he is a worthy successor of De Wolff
Hopper or Stephens. His fun-making at
times approached dangerously near to vul-
garity, and he seemed inclined to use his
feet rather than his wit in his efforts to
provoke laughter.
Miss Game made very acceptable Ma
taya and displayed familiarity with mas
culine wearing apparel which won for her
the envy Of her sex.
The supporting company was fair. The
chorus made up in strength Of lung what
It lacked in numbers, and the members
had evidently been studying the graceful
methods of the stage elephant. A large
audience was present ana was not disposed
to be critical.

There must be a wide difference in

the climate Of the regions surround

Gently met and compared notes, and
from these comparisons we deducc the
following curious information: With
in the antarctic circle there has never
been found a single species of flower
ing plant. In the arctic circle 762 diff
fercnt species of flowing plants have
been collected and classified. Fifty of
the above numbers are flowers of var

pale or entirely colorlcss. and with no
perceptible perfume whatever. These
latter are what the botanists term
types of true polar flowers"
