WESLEY cHILDREN-s JUBILEE.
Gifts For the little Ones and For
the Poor as Well.

the Poor as Well.
The Sunday school room of Wesley Mon
umental church was the scene last night
of much pleasure and enjoyment among
the young people, and there were not a
few older hearts that reflected some of the
happiness of the children. The evidences
of sincere delight shown by the younger
people was not without its effect upon their
elders, and they found their pleasure in
watching the children
1t was the occasion of the New Year jul
bilee of the Sunday school. Wesley school
was one of the few of the city that did
not have some kind of a Christmas cele-
bration. 1t was decided that it would be
too bad to deprive the children of all
amusement. During all the time the other
schools were having their celebrations and
receiving visits from Santa Claus, the
young people of Wesley We're sorrowiug be-
cause they were not to be remem bered in
the same way. The announcement short
time ago that they would have New
Years jubilee instead of the Christmas en-
tertainment pleased them immensely, and
they have since been treasuring anticipa-
tons of the good time they would have.
In these anticipations they were not dis
appointed.
The programme was opened by the
singing of the hymn, "All Han the Power
of Jesus Name. This was followed by
prayer by the pastor, Rev. DR.. ]. o.
Branch. An address of welcome was de-
livered in clear tones by Master frankie
Leon, and this was followed by another
hymn, The Eye of Faith" Upon the
conclusion of this hymn, the curtain was
dropped and a scene to represent rich
mans house was disclosed The owner of
the magnificence read a letter from Santa
Claus, expressing his regret that he was
oh 70 InTr ohan Of
Wesley church a visit when he was down
this way last, and his hope that things
next Christmas would be different. The
reader went on to say that he had been
empowered by Santa Claus to act for him
and to distribute few gifts to the chill
dren. He, therefore, requested all the
children to come by classes to the ros-
trum, where they would be given fruits
and bags of candy. This was done, and
the receiving feature of the jubilee was
closed.
Another hymn was sung and another
curtain was dropped, disclosing the home
of a poor man. The head of the house
hold and his wife and children were shown
in destitute condition. One of the gem
temen of the church acted as the poor
man, and gave expression to the poverty
in which his family lived. The children
then came forward and deposited pack
ages of all kinds of food. fruits and toys
upon the platform, all of these being for
the poor man. Overhead was the scrip
tural passage, at is more blessed to give
than to receive" A huge pile of dona-
tons stood just under this inscription.
After the dismisson of the audience,
which was with the benediction of the pas
tor. a committee was appointed for the
distribution of the donations among the
poor. This committee will attend to its
duties to-day.

TO MAKE CONFINED EFFORTS.
Ports of the South Atlantic and Gulf
After Gas BOuys.

Mr.. William st. John, representing the
Pintsch Gas Company, is at the De Soto
Mr.. st. John has been making tour of
the Gulf and Atlantic ports for the pur-
pose of arousing interest in the matter of
getting gas buoys for all the important
harbors. and it is practically settled now
that the matter will be brought before
congress at its present session.
All of the cities which Mr.. st. John
has visited have taken action with regard
to the matter, asking their representa-
tives in congress to take part in the re-
quest for an appropriation for this pur-
pose, and an estimate has been made of
the number that should be placed at each
port. He is at work now seeking to get
an expression from Savannah as to what
number would be desirable here. It
seems that there is a general desire on
the part of those interested to have a
number of them placed in the Savannah
harbor. Mr.. st. John will also go to
Charleston on the same mission.
The object is to get the congressman
of the coast districts all interested in the
matter so that a combined request can be
made for an appropriation The ports Of
the great lakes are also cooperating and
1T is said they will ask for an appropria-
ton of $4,000 for putting in more of the
gas buoys there. The buoys burn for six
months after being charged with gas
They cost an average of 81 $50 each.

NEED MORE PRISON ROOM.
Council Committees Inspect Police
Quarters.

an inspection of the guard house at the
police barracks was made by Aldermen
smith and Owens last night with a view
Go determining what improvements are to
De made by the city. The police commits
sion and Assistant Chief Reilly were also
J0 hand and gave information TO the com
o. tee.
a tour was first made of the guard house
cells and 1t did not take the committee
long to realize the necessity for additional
room IN that quarter, 1t found the cells
pretty much as the police commission has
c'imed and it agreed that additional IA
rI,es are necessary Incidentally 1t
might be said the committee was rather
rprised to observe some neat looking
lows in one cell, all of whom were
dressed in broad cloth and Immaculate
Hnen and who, the committee thought,
should be in more presentable quarters.
The commission accompanied the com
mittee to Assistant Chief Reilly's office
after the inspection, where the situation
was thoroughly discussed, and the wants
of the commission expressed. The com
mlssioners, of course, hope the committee
VIII see its way to recommend the erection
OF the new guard house, but in case this
IS not deemed necessary at present, what
ever is recommended they think will be
for the good of the department In this
matter lley Will, OF course, be largely
governed by the amount OF $500 set apart
10y council
Alderman Owens said he had not decid-
ed, but he thought the proper rearrange-
uent of the present guard house would
take the better part of the allowance, and
he does not think the money sufficient to
build house. though this will be later de-
termined. He is settled in his opinion that
additional room is needed, and is certain
TO concur with Alderman Smith in recom~
mending it.
There is, Of course, nothing definite, and
will not be until the committee has time
20 reflect over what il has seen. Some fig
urng will be required, and the cost of
plans will have TO be known before a re-.
port is made to council. 1t is intended to
place the matter before council in such a
manner that there can be no doubt as to
what is needed and the matter finally de-
termined from the facts submitted
The cost of the new guard house will be
estimated as well as the addition of a few
cells to the present structure, and If a
suitable house can be erected for the
amount, il is said it will be recommended;
Otherwise the department will have to get
on at present with the provisions of more
cell room.
