MAY POSSIBLY SECURE LAND FOR A NEW
 CEMETERY,


 CEMETERY.
 The annual meeting of the cemetery association, held in Masonic hall, has been adjourned from time to time on ac- count of bad weather and sickness of the treasurer, Mir Gilbert. The election of officers took place on Monday evening last, The following persons were chos- cn for officers for the ensuing year: Philo Gilbert, president; Samuel $. Am bler,vicc president; Granville A. Durant, secretary; Henry X Gilbert, treasurer; Andrew l.. Benedict, George C. Durant, S 5. AmbIer, H. A. Gilbert, Thomas F. Foster, directors; A l.. Benedict, super intcndent. A committee was appointed to take into consideration the question of procuring new site or additional ground for cemetery purposes and report to some future meeting. The day has arrived again when it appears to be necessary to enlarge the present ground or locate a new ground where 20 acres or more of land can be purchased for less money than few rods west of the prescott ground, the only land adjoining that can be purchased that is feasible for burial purposes, A new site will be the most economical and should be well considered by this committee. At the present time tn" cemetery association is compt scd of 22 members of the most prominent men of the place and they are calculated to carry successfully through if thought hczt the locating of a new cemetery. Two of the oldest members of the association have passed away within the past year, Charles II. shepard and Eli S Barnum

nently over the state.
Just as the political season approaches
public officers, and others who are promi-
nent, whether in political life or not, are
attracting attention in all parts of the
state. Savannahans would like to see
some one of their number, who is capa-
BILE of holding the position, put forward
for one of the supreme court judgeships.
The Athens Banner has this to say of
Hon. Pope Barrow:
1--WE hope that ex-senator Pope Barrow
will make the race for one of the su-
preme judgeships. There is none better
qualified than he"
This is a timely and well deserved COM
lawyers, but Mr.. Barrow has already
stated his position clearly through the
Morning News. He does not feel called
upon to make the sacrifice which the ac-
ceptance of such a position would re-
quire, and he will not be a candidate.
The Constitution speaks very pleasantly
of Judge Falligant who recently spent
a day or two in Atlanta. 1t says: Judge

on the scene yesterday morning. He has
no opposition, either. However, the boys
were mighty glad to see him and hear
some of his new stories. Judge Falligant
has never had any opposition, but if he
had it would be all the same. He would
be reelected
a And there is little doubt that Judge Fal-
ligant would.

Rev. Isaac YOnan Delivers Two Adj
dresses on Foreign Missions.
Rev. Isaac Yonan, a native of Armenia
in Persia, preached an interesting sermon
yesterday morning at the Second Presby-
terrain church on the subject of foreign
missions.
He also addressed a large audience in
the afternoon at the Independent Pres
byterian church on the same subject with
special reference to the great need of for
eign heather nations at the present day,
of the Outstanding influences that have
made this country powerful and promi-
nent.
His appeals to the churches for labor
ers to be sent forth into the missionary
field were stirring.
He will address the ladies of the city
this afternoon at 4:30 o'clock on the sub
ject of the Women of the Orient" and all
interested are cordially invited to be pres
ent at the Independent Presbyterian lee
ture room at that hour. Mr. Yonan speaks
with a slightly foreign accent that is
rather pleasing. He is a most entertain
ing speaker with a fund of interesting an
ecdotes. Some of his illusions to the
sufferings borne by his own people in Per-
STA, who had become Christians were thrill
ing and pathetic. Arrangements are being
made to have him deliver public address
on the subject of the Armenian massa-
ores

Rev. A. VI. Williams on "Why We
should Read the BibIe.'

The address yesterday afternoon by Rev.
A. NJ. Williams on Reasons Why We
Should Read the Bible" at the Young
Mems Christian Association, was heard
by a large number of young men.
Rev. Mr.. Williams commenced by saying
all want to know why they should desire
to do certain things, and why they should
not do other things. The subject that he
had been asked to speak on why We
Should Read the Bible" was to him a
most interesting one. He said all should
read IL, first, because 1t is the most enter
tanning piece of literature in existence It
is the well out of which all literature is
drawn. He cited instances why it should
be read as history and poetry, as contain
ing many beautiful stories and for other
reasons. 1t should be read for culture,
for moral inspiration, and to measure ones
self byas conscience Is not a correct guide
unless 1t is well instructed.
Above all it should be read for ones
physical and mental beings. but also spir-
itual, he said. The Word of God must
be read for spiritual growth. His address
was listened to with marked interest.
The solo by Mr. John Sheffield, Lead
Kindly Light" was rendered in a very
pleasing manner.
Next Sunday afternoon the second Of
the series of Reasons Why" viii be
"Why We should Love Jesus Christ" Mr.
John Nlcolson, Jr., will be the speaker.

SOME ELECTION STORIES.
Nine Negroes Who Wanted to Vote
in the Name of DeIrOach.

Some amusing election stories are afoat,
and though they are rather late in getting
around considering the fact that the cleo
ton took place ten days ago, they are
nevertheless interesting
The managers of the Eighth district box
had an experience which interested them
very much, and had it not been for their
good nature, no doubt more than one ne
gro would have found himself in q seri-
GUS bit of trouble. AS is well known, there
was some little repeating at the polls
that day, though it was in the main, sat
isfactorily disposed Of But the managers
of the Eighth district box had the most
interesting experience in this direction.
At least niTre different negroes appeared
at the box and tried to vote in the name
Of Ralph Delroach Delroach, himself
did not turn up at all during the day, but
it so happened that not one of those who
pretended to be Delroach, put his vote in
for him. The first negro who presented
himself as Delroach was asked:
Are you Ralph Delroach|'
Yes, sir" was the reply.
"Will you swear to it?' was asked by
one of the managers.
"Ye-n-no sir, l won't swear to it, bur
that's my name" said the darkey.
We'll you can't vote at this box" was
the only satisfaction he got.
The next one came along and was about
to swear that he was the only true Del
roach, when one of the managers said:
Look here, Williams, you can't bam-
boozle US. We know you and we know
Delroach, too"
1t so happened that two of the managers
knew Delroach and they had considerable
amusement at the expense of the negroes
who tried to vote for him. Some of them
tfxy haI frforGA fy,1yf t,er
they were going to be arrested for trying
to vote in another mans name. The man
ayers have never learned, however wheth-
er Delroach was dead, or whether he sent
several friends in to vote for him, just to
make certain of getting in his ballot.

THE GRAND DUCHESS.
May Have Her Final Trial Early
Next Month.


The steamer Grand Duchess, which is
to go on the Ocean steamship line between
Savannah and New York. is expected to
be given her final trial trip and test
shortly after Nov. /, and as soon there
after as she is officially accepted by Pres
ident II. B. Plant, she will begin making
regular trips on the line. AS she has not
been officially accepted, her sailing dates
have not, as yet, been decided on.
President II. M. Conner of the Ocean
Steamship Company has been over the
Grand Duchess and is very much pleased
with her. He considers that she will be
the finest and most elegant coastwise
ship on the Atlantic coast The Grand
Duchess has not been chartered by the
Ocean Steamship Company for any par
ticular definite length of time, but will
no doubt, run on the line as long as the
arrangements between the two companies
interested are mutually satisfactory. The
Grand Duchess will undoubtedly capture
a big share of the travel between Savan-
nah and New York, and there are some
who have been heard to say they expect
to make the trip just for the pleasure of
being on the new steamer.

MADAME Won DER HoYA SINGS.
The sermon at st. Johns Last Night
by Rev. Geo. c. Belts.


The services at st. Johns church last
night were very largely attended. By
special request OF a committee from the
! church. yesterday, the sermon last night
was preached by Rev. George c. Belts
of Goshen, ". Y. Mr.. Belts officiated at
St Paurs church in the morning, and
after the service there, he was waited
upon by a committee from st. Johns
church, and his services requested at that
church last night. 1t was not generally
known that Mr.. Belts was in the city
until the announcement was made in yes
terday $ Morning News
The subject of the sermon was the
Finding of Hidden Treasure" as Illus
trated in the thirteenth chapter and forty
fourth verse OF the gospel by Matthew,
and was given a very interesting appli-
cation by the speaker.
The musical portion of the service, al
ways good at St. Johns, was unusually
fine last night the presence Of Madame
Amadeo Won der Hoya being a great addi-
ton Madame Won der Hoya has q fine
soprano voice Of great range and fiuency.
She was heard for the first time in Sa
Vannah, at St. johns yesterday and the
impression created was of the most favor
able character. Although she does not
speak the language fiuently, as yet, this
can be barely detected in her singing.
With the choir she sang the Marvellous
Work" from Haydns oratorio Of the
creation. and the solo "Benedic Anima"
in i fat by Dudley Buck In the after
service she rendered the solo. How Long
wit Thou Forget Me, O Lord" by George
A. Meitzke, in the most exquisite manner.
The anthem in d, Praise the Lord" by
Randegger, and the cantata in D, by
Goate, were very creditably rendered by
the choir, as was also the prelude in f
major by Guilpont. by Prof Spencer NJ
White in the after service.

AT THE PARK-NEw CHURCH.
HeV. Jabez Fox breaches on the
Church's Creed and Belief.

ChurcnB creed and Belief.
Rev. Jabez Fox preached his first SER
mon as pastor of the Park-New church
yesterday morning. Evening services
were also held, Mr. Fox preaching then
on What Is Taught in the New Church
writings" drawing his text from John
l. and IA; I'm the beginning was the word,
and the word was with God, and the word
was God, and the word was made flesh
and dwelt among US"
The sermon consisted of an announce
ment of the creed of the New church. this
being belief in the Lord Jesus Christ as
the one God, in whom is all the fullness
OF the Trinity; in the sacred Scripture as
revelation of the Divine VIII and Wis
dom; and in the necessity of a radical
change in heart"
On this belief Of the New church, Mr.
Fox built his sermon, taking all of the
three essentials in the creed and discuss
ing them in turn.
The morning sermon was drawn from the
text: Let the dead bury their dead; but
go thou and preach the kingdom of God"
Luke tx, CO. Rev. Mr.. Fox said, "This
Is grand commission. The Lord him
self bids his disciples, that is, those who
receive truths from him, to give to Others
the truths by which he governs the spir-
itual universe.
There are certain forces which move
and guide the world of matter. We some
times call them, not very properly, the
laws of matter, and there are certain
forces which move and guide the world of
spirit and we call them, not very properly,
the laws of mind.
Some knowledge of forces or laws of
the physical world is necessary to our well
being, and even to the preservation of our
natural life. And health and strength are
more or less perfect as our observance of
these laws is more or less complete. And
the same may be said of the forces called
laws of mind.
1.-The natural laws are revealed to US by
the Creator through the things he has
made, the visible creation, but the spirit
uaI laws are not, and from their nature
cannot be so revealed. Therefore, the
Lord provides that, through the CORE
spondence of natural things with spiritual
things, his word descends into the nat
ural plane of thought, a divine revelation,
even as he descended incarnated, in the
person of the man Christ Jesus"
