BOOKS FOR BETHESDA BOYS.
City school ChiIdren's Gift to the
Orphan Boys.

Superintendent Otis Ashmore of the pub
lie schools will inspect the Bethesda school
Saturday. He will be accompanied by sew
eral of the principals of the city schools
The school in which the orphan boys re-
ceive their education is under the direc-
ton of The board OF education, by which
the teachers are elected. There are now
three teachers, a male principal and two
lady assistants. Under their instruction
are over 100 boys.
In addition 10 the boys of the home, a
number of children from the neighbour
hood attend the school. This is in &C
cordance with the state law, the children
being allowed to attend the schools con-
Quoted on the public fund that are nearest
them.
About this time every year the superln-
tendent makes his inspection of the school
He is usually accompanied by several of
the teachers, who feel an interest in the
boys of the home. They often make Their
visits a great pleasure to the boys by
taking them gifts. A Wagonload of books
will be taken out Saturday, and will be
given the boys for the establishment OF
library by the children of the city schools
A few days ago Superintendent Ashmore
ask their pupils to bring to school with
them any story book, magazines, or picture
books that they had no further use for,
and that might interest the boys at Bethes-
da. These announcements were made,
and the results already shown indicate
that a large library for the lads will be
added to Bethesda.
Stacked in Superintendent Ashmores Of
flee, the harvest of one day, as the an
nouncement was made day before yester-
day of the purpose for which the books
were desired, are already some several
dozen books, most of them almost as good
as when they were bought. The children
have responded generously thus far the
books already brought in being, too, from
only two or three of the classes. When
all are heard from there will be fully a
wagon load, it is thought.
The books are on subjects that will
prove agreeable reading for the boys. They
will doubtless be delighted at the chance
that will be given them to read works that
are calculated to please the mind of a
child.
Superintendent Ashmore desires it stated
that any persons desiring to add contribu-
tons of books to those already received
will be permitted to do so. The books
may be sent to his office.

03 AppIicants.

out of siXty-three applicants for service
in the navy. Lieut. V. o. Chase has so
far enlisted only ten men. He has several
others on the list who may get in, but so
far only the number named have been ad.
mitted 10 the service.
out of the sixty-three. Lieut.. Chase was
ready TO take twenty-seven, provided they
could pass the physical examination. but
this seventeen of them were unable TO do,
being rejected by DR.. George A. Lung,
who deals with the men after the ordinary
examination is gone through with. Nine
men were examined yesterday, but only
two of them ran the entire gauntlet and
got in.
There are three yet TO be examined by
the physician, they having already passed
the other examination. There are also
Two others who fall slightly short of the
requirements, but who win be recommend,

Those accepted by the enlisting officers
so far, with their nationalities and ratings
are as follows:
William Paxton, English, seaman.
John p Hancock American, landsman.
James J. Hunter, American, landsman.
Joseph White, Scotch, fireman, second

The applicants have found out by this
time that they have got to have some
thing more than a desire TO get into the
navy in order to get there. They must
be well up in the lines for which they are
wanted, and they must be in such good
physical condition that they can at all
times carry that knowledge into practical
effect

Green Davis, the negro who was struck
in the head with an ak by Ike Johnson,
another negro, while the two were gam
bling in the Florida Central and Peninsu-
lar Railroad yards Saturday night died in
the Georgia Infrmary yesterday as re-
suit of his wounds.
Coroner Goette will hold an inquest and
will probably find practically the same
facts as heretofore published The negro
laborers for the railroad company had
just received their monthly pay, and with
johnson, went to the place where the ar-
fray took place for the purpose of gam
bling The game was carried on some time,
when Green emerged from the house and
got an ak which he took back with him.
Presently the crowd left the house, but
another man had the AK and Green had a
knife. A scramble followed, and another
negro held Green while Johnson dealt him
the blow in the head with the AK which
produced death.
The police are on the track of johnson,
but as he had considerable time in which
TO gel the start of them, his capture will
require some time. 1t is believed he is in
South Carolina, and as there are disad-
vantages in catching a negro there, II
harbored by other negroes, close watch
over towns win have to be kept.

REV. DIR. r. Il. CLARK HERE.
VIII Address an EndeavOr Rally at
First Presbyterian Church

Rev. Francis F. Clark, D. D., president
of the United Society Of Christian Endeav-
or reached the city last night from At
lanta. Heu,win address a rally of the
young people of the churches tonight at
the First Presbyterian Church, and after
the service will hold an informal receipt
ion.
DIR. Clark has attended conventions in
North Carolina, Florida, Alabama and
Tennessee, and feels encouraged over the
prospects of the society in the South. The
coming International convention at Nash
vile in July promises to be a meeting vast
in numbers, and great in spiritual power
and especially useful in the bringing to-
gether of tens of thousands of young peo-
pie from the North and South
DIR. Clark was seen last night at the De
Soto. Speaking of the Christian Endeavor
movement he said that within the past
two years the work has spread in other
lands as never before. In Great Britain
there are 5000 societies with 100000 mem
bers, and their conventions rival those
held in our country in numbers and power
In Germany a good beginning has been
made. A united society has been
formed, and also in France, Sweden
Switzerland, Spain, and Bohemia.
Manw Societies have been
organized andnthere is a growing interest
in the work.
In India an organization mas been per-
fected of all the societies of India, Bur-
NAH and Ceylon. There are 400 or 500 and
the missionaries find great help in their
work from this organization In China II e
Christian Endeavor movement is especial
ly vigorous. 1t seems to be adapted to the
educated Chinese mind. In Australia the
societies are as numerous in proportion to
the population, as in this country, and
are doing an equally good work.
In all the world there are some fifty de-
nominations represented in Christian En-
deavof work. In England the Baptsts
lead In Canada and Ireland the Metho-
dists lead, but, taking it the world over,
the Presbyterians lead. There has been
a new development of recent years in the
formation of societies of motormen, po-
licemen, sailors and soldiers. Some of the
victims of the Maine disaster were Chris
tian Endeavorers.

Absurd RumOr of SMALLPOX Among
the Tybee Troops Denied.
Surgeon Woodson who has been located
at the artillery camp at Tybee, denies most
emphatically the rumors as to the exist
ence there of smallpox.
Surgeon Woodson was in the city last
night on his way to Atlanta, for which
place he left by the Central Railroad at
10 o'clock. When seen at The De Soto Ho-
tel just prior to his departure, Surgeon
Woodson said:
"1'he report is wholly false, and / cam
not imagine how it originated. There have
been one or two cases Of measles there,
but the patients are doing well, and have
all about recovered. But there is abso-
lutely no foundation for the other rumor"
Surgeon Woodsop goes 10 Fort MePher-
son. from which place another surgeon will
be sent TO take his place at Tybee.

CROWDS VISIT THE CORDELIA.
Capt. BOurISe and His officers Having
Pleasant Time of 1t.

VI ~"
Crowds of people visited the British war
ship Cordelia yesterday In fact, the ship
seems the chief attraction just now. Mayor
Meldrim was aboard one day this week
to pay his respects, but Capt. Bourke be-
ing absent, the Mayor simply left his
card. AS to-day is the last day the vessel
Will be in port, there will probably be a
large number of visitors.
Capt Bourke and his officers are being
entertained by citizens, and, in their turn,
have proved royal entertainers.
The Cordelia is not only the first British
warship TO visit Savannah in many years
but is the largest warship that has ever
come up 10 the wharves. AS the Cordela
found several clear feet of water under
her keel all the way to the city, there is
reason to hope that other and still larger
warships will make the same trip at an
early date.

schools are in progress. Three examina-
tons in all branches are held during the
school year. The marks made in the three
are averaged to find at the end of the
term If the pupils have made satisfactory
records and are prepared for graduation
or advancement to the higher grades.

the grammar schocls~were in history Yes
terday all the classes in which geography

classes. as the day before, continuing
their regular work. Arithmetic will be
the study in which they will be examined

amined Tuesday in English, history, Ihet-
oric and English literature. The examina-
tons yesterday We're conducted In Latin

well. 1t is hoped equally as good marks
will be made in these examinations.
The examinations begin right after the
schools are opened each morning. The
children work upon them until they finish,
when they are allowed to leave. This ac-
counts for the number seen leaving the
schools an hour or two each day before
the usual time. Those taking more time
with their papers remain until the nour
for dismissal comes. Persons passing the
schools, as the children leave, may notice
them consulting their text books to as
