be made. and upon receiving no response,
offered a prayer.
Rev Mr.. MacDonel read a part Of the
epstle found in Timothy. /: 3: S-13. The
bishop then defined the functions of the
office in the church TO which the young
men were 10 be raised. He then asked his
questions Of the class. which were answer
ed in the way prescribed. In an extreme
~ solemn and impressive manner the bish-
or then laid his hands upon the head of
each Of the preachers in turn, pronOuncing,
as he did So the words that received them
as deacOns: Take thou authority to ex-
ecute the office of deacon in the church in
the name of the Father, and Of the Son,
and of the Holy Ghost The large church
Bio-c was then passed along the line Of the
class each of the members laying his hand
upon IL while the words, Take authority
to read the Holy Scripturs in the church
OF God and to preach the same" We're pro-
nounced. Rev. DR.. Hinton then read
passage from the epistle of Luke found in
the twelfth chapter 1898. A prayer was
ohered by the bishop, after which he pro-
nounced the benediction.
The ordination of the elders in the aft
ernoon was much like the ceremony OF
the morning. The bishop was assisted by
Rev, Dr. j. O. Branch. Rev F. A.
Branch, Rev. J. O. \. Cook and Rev. A.
". Wynn. The passages from the dlsci-
pine bearing upon the ceremony of the
ordination Of the elders were read by the

WANTS CHATTANOOGA TOO.
The LOOKOUT MOUNTAIN CITY MAY
BE IN GEORGIA.

Mayor MeIdrim's Resolution Looking
to Acquiring a Slice of Tennessee
and Chattanooga Along With 1t.
Possibility That the Convict
Question May Be Settled by the
LegisIature-Chatha May BE
Made Separate Circuit-Other
Local Legislation May BE Lost in
the shuttle at the Close of the Ses-
sion.
Hon. p. W. Meldrim spent yesterday in
the city and returned to Atlanta last
night. He will probably not return to
Savannah again until after the adjourn
ment of the legislature, which Will be
about ten days hence. Mayor NIeldrim
had a number of callers during the day.
When seen by a Morning News reporter
ne discussed matters before the legislature
with interest.
AZ am very much afraid ne said, ''that
the convict lease question will not be set
tied before the adjournment of the legisla-
ture. The bill which has been presented by
the special committee, to which the whole
matter was referred, represents fairly the
sentiment of those members who have con-
sidered the subject. While it does not do
away entirely with the lease system it
proposes a great improvement on the pres
ent system. Its most important feature,
in my opinion, is that which provides for
a convict farm where all the females, all
the aged and infrmed, and all the youth
full convicts under 16 years of age shall
na h. go11i
something like a reformatory there. The
bill presented by Mr.. Hogan, the popuhst
member from Lincoln, presents practically
the same features in a simpler manner. 1t
is to be hoped that the necessity of a
special session of the legislature to solve
this question will be avoided"
As has been stated in the Morning News,
Maj. Meldrim presented a resolution be-
fore the legislature, calling for an investi-
cation by Special Attorney Wimbish, of
the Western and Atlantic railroad of the
question of the boundary line, between
Georgia and Tennessee.
Mr.. Wimbish has what he. believes to
be indisputable evidence that the proper
boundary line is about twelve miles north
VI tiS present me Sdiu Mayor NlGluTiu.
This, if established, would bring Chatta-
nooga and considerable section of Ten
nessee within the Georgia limits. The orig
nal charter of the colony of Georgia
states that the northern boundary of the
colony shall run from the headquarters of
the Savannah river due west to the South
sea, otherwise the Mississippi river 1t is
claimed that the proper line has never
been defined. The subject is an important
one, and is worth investigating"
The bill to create a new judicial circuit
in Eastern Georgia and to make Chatham
county separate circuit is now before
the judiciary committee of the House. Maj
Meldrim regards the bill with favor and
thinks it may pass if not crowded out by
the rush of business at the close of the ses-
sion. $500
When asked about the appointment of
commissioners to fill the vacancies which
viii occur in January, Mayor Meldrim said
that he would give this matter his con-
sideration after his return from the legis-
lature.

AT LAW OVER A DOG.

The Animal Claimed Both by Prof.
Gentry and Negro Woman.
Through the court of Justice NJ Naugh-
tin, an attachment was issued against
Gentrys famous dog show which came
near delaying its progress to other fields.
When the show was here some time ago.

by a man named Payne whose wife took
care of it and finally cured it of the dis
ease.
Prof. Gentry, or someone connected with
the show wrote to the woman to send him
the dog, and he would pay her a dollar.
This, however. was not done
Just as the show was getting ready Sat
urday night to leave the city a man went
to the woman's house, and demanded the
dog which was refused. He rendered dol
lar in payment for its keeping, which was
refused, whereupon he took the dog any
how, and carried il off The woman went
to MIR. f. NJ. Oliver who took out a possess
sorry warrant in her behalf before Justice
Naughtin, and the dog was recovered. The
case viii come up before Justice Naughtin
to-day for the purpose of determining to
whom the dog belongs, and should it be
proven that il belongs to the show. the
woman will make a claim for having taken
care OF 1t for the last year. Two parties
connected with The Show remained in Sa-
Nannah to look after Prof. Gentrv's side
OF the case. The dog is one of the trick
dogs OF the show 4 is said and besides. is,
especially valuable for breeding purposes

BEHAVED ALL RIGHT.
Frnnck Was Much Improved by His
Trip Across.

Mr.. Ernst Eichhorn. who represents the
North German Lloyd line of steamers in
Savannah, has received a letter from A
Schumacher & Co., the Baltimore agents
stating that the demented seaman. Jacob
Frauck, was delivered to the "seeamt
in Bremen. by the keeper Franz Trusky,
and the latter does not know to what in
stitution he was afterwards sent.
The captain of the steamer on which
Franck was taken over stated that he
improved very much during the voyage
and seemed to be benefited by the amount
of liberty given him while on board the
steamer He was allowed to move about
the steamer during the day. with the keep
er always at his side, and was locked
up only during the night. He gave very
little trouble to his keeper and the pcopie
on the steamer ''Muenehen." The keeper
brought a receipt from the "Seeamt" in
Bremen, which was received here by Capt.
John r. Dillon several days ago.

Much of the modern literature about the

Jew yet encompasses the earth and main tains
MS individual and ra cial identity under odds
before which he might be expected to suc-

vitality; this buoyancy under pressure; this
apparent tendency to thrive where nother
race would long since have disappeared from
the face OF the earth? The question is an in
teresting one. and 1t would seem as though
partial answer to it is to be found in the
character of the Jew as 1T is revealed in the
stories OF him, most of them by Jewish writer
