LIVES THAT ARE EXAMPLES.
memorial Services to Miss Frances
Willard and Neal Dow.

Memorial services in respect TO the late
Miss Frances e. Willard and Hon Neal
DOW for years the aggressive opponents
OF the liquor traffic, were held at the
Christian Church on Bolton street last
night. Several fervent speeches were
made.
ReV. b. A. Bosworth. pastor of the
Christian Church, presided over the SER
vice. Those who made addresses were
Mr.. ellison Mr.. W. B. Stubs. Mrs. Mary
5. Webb, and Mr.. r. b. Reppard. All
were entertaining and as some of the
speakers enjoyed an acquaintance with
MISS Willard, they felt her loss more. keen
~ than those not acquainted with her as
a woman and a religious worker.
Mr. Stubs directed his remarks. more tn
Mr.. Dow, the tireless toiler of Maine who
mad given so much of his life toward eff
lecting reforms in his native state. and. in
TACT, throughout the country. Il was sin
gular, he said, that both Miss Willard
ana Mr.. Dow, two great workers for the
cause, should pass away about the same
time. He reviewed the early life of Dow
and the influences which were the direct
means of enlisting him in the field of work
in which he was destined to accomplish so
much. He took the initiative in advocat-
ing prohibitive legislation and travelled ex-
tensively in diffusing the truths calculated
to accomplish it,
An Illustration was given by the speaker
which, he said, showed the real nature
of Dow. In the earlier days of his prohi-
Dltlon work, Dow was chief of the fire
department of his native town. Charges
were preferred against him by some of
ms enemies and among them was one
alleging cruelty. 1t was claimed by the
witness that Dow ordered him into a dan
gerous place between two walls which
were about to fall. He declined to 90
there with the hose as ordered
DID Dow strike or curse you when you
refused TO go?' was asked.
No, he did not" replied the witness.
Wen, what did he do then?" was asked.
He simply grabbed the hose and went
between the buildings himself" answered
the witness, and that ended that part of
the charge
Mrs. Webb and Mr.. Reppard made in
teresting talks, combining their remarks.
however, altogether to Miss Willard.

CITY OVERRUN WITH CANNES.
Worthless Ours Run the Streets and
Destroy Property.

Destroy Property.
1t is said that poor folks and dogs are
inseparable and that it is as natural for a
poor man to have dogs about him as it is
for him to have children If this be the
case there must be an awful lot of poor
people in Savannah just now. So many
dogs and such poor dogs were never seen
upon the streets of the city before.
Ours and mongrels of every degree and
kind overrun the streets day and night
Valuable dogs are not seen except in com
pany with their masters. In fact it is a
risky thing to let a valuable dog get out
by himself. There are a number of boys,
black and white, and. perhaps, older per-
sons. too, who make q business of stealing
every well-bred dog which they can lay
hands on. Dogs stolen in this way are
usually sold to strangers, or sent into the
country.
The wandering dogs are a nuisance.
They get into gardens, dig up seeds and
plants and kill young trees. Public spir-
tied citizens who have done away with
their fences are the chief sufferers. Their
flower beds are ravaged constantly.
A few years ago there was a great hula
baloo about the goats and the nuisance
they made of themselves in all parts of
the city Now it is the dogs who have
given cause of complaint. There seems
to be no more reason why 'Fidos and
''Nellies" should run around the streets
than for the "Bllies" and "Nannies."
The city requires every owner of dog
or dogs to take out badge for each dog
the charge for a badge being 81. The tax
is due al the first of the year, but 1t is
III II,
luctantly. A dog census is made by the
police each year and with the aid of this
census the clerk of Council proceeds to
put on the docket every owner of a dog
who has not procured a badge This
census is now being taken. 1t is usually
necessary to put about three-fourthS of
the number of dog owners on the docket
and fully half of these usually swear that
they never owned a dog or that they
have given the dog away or that the
dogs has died. Heretofore it has been the
custom to let off these owners of dogs
who had been put upon the docket simply
by the payment of the dollar for the
badge. Recorder Hartridge announced re-
Gently, however that all dog owners who
are placed upon the docket for not talk
ing out badges, will be required to pay a.
fine in addition to the cost of the badge.
The dog tax usually brings in about
$500. As there are easily 5000 to 1900
dogs in the city, it is evident that great
many escape taxation, among them many
wandering and worthless CANNES whom
nobody will acknowledge owning. A dog
catcher, with instructions to impound
every dog not wearing a badge, might
prove a desirable addition to Savannah s
municipal establishment. The fines paid
by owners to redeem their dogs would nav
the dog catcher's salary and many I'M
claimed dogs would find their existence
cut short.

Miss Margaret Mather will present
"Cymbeline tonight. 1t is not known
that the play has ever been seen here.
1t is one of Shakespeare's plays, not often
produced. A good deal depends upon the
scenery in the effectiveness Of it's pro-
duction, and for that reason, until Miss
Mather undertook 1t, the play has seldom
been attempted. If the production Is any

and destroy his soul are speaking to him.
Of IA !,
ard a gambler or a thief are speaking to
him. Depraved men and silly women are

The preacher urged upon all Christians
to speak to the young men whom they
knew for The purpose of leading them to a
better life and advised them of the sub
iects upon which they should speak to
them. He spoke of the tender recollec-
lions Of mother and home and the effect
with which they might be brought to bear
for good. Advise them to shun evil COM

The sermon was brief. 1t was listened
to with deep attention and doubtless with
good effect, After the sermon the ordi-
nance of baptism was administered to four
teen young mems all of them additions to
the church during the recent meetings
The scene was a very solemn and impress
sye one, the more so because of the perfect
order preserved by the large audience.
Mr. JOrdans sermon next Sunday night
will be the Lords Supper" After the
sermon the ordinance of baptism will be
administered. There was one accession
to the church last night by profession of
faith.

knowledge of religious truth, and even a
hearty belief of true doctrines, does not

is only riches wasted or misapplied. The

spirit that quickeneth; the flesh Qetter)

slucted religious believer, whose Chris
uanity brings forth no fruits of a good
life.
Incidentally Mr.. Fox says, the letter of

Christian doctrines. 1t teaches that there
