ARE GOOD BUYERS.
Transports Exhaust the Fruit, Poul-
try and Vegetable Markets.

The last Manila expedition COM
pletely exhausted the market of veg
etables, fruit, poultry and eggs. A
great many thousand dollars worth
were purchased and more would have
been if they could have been secured.
d. G. Camerinos had orders for 5000
cocoanuts, but was only able to get
900. The arrival of an Island stea-
mer from Hawaii with large guam
tity of oranges just at the right time
helped the market out wonderfully.
Poultry and eggs commanded a high
price and there was not nearly enough
to supply the demand. d. G. Cameri-
nos estimates the purchases of veget-
ables, grapes, figs, lemons, lines, or
anges, pineapples, bananas, cocoanuts
and poultry and eggs at $1,000 to
SIS, 900 worth.
Island produce arriving here when
the transports are in port is sure of
good market, as the stewards on
most of the transports have orders to
buy freely for the officers mess.

FATHER sEMNIEs DEAD.
Had Many Acquaintances in savan-
NAH

Rev. Father Alexander j. Semmes died
at New Orleans last Wednesday, aged SO
years He had been In failing health for
several years, having had several strokes
of paralysis. The news of his death was
received with regret by many Savannah
ians, who remember him well as an old
friend and congenial acquaintance, as we'll
as by many others here connected with
him by ties of blood.
Father Semmes was born in George
town, D. C., Dec. H. 1929. He graduated
from the college therel in 1851 went to
Paris and studied medicine, and, after
taking his degree, came to this country
and located in Savannah. Here he mar
ried the daughter of the late Judge Ber-
rien, who died in a comparatively short
time. When the war broke out he gave
his services to the Confederacy as a sur
geon, and acted in that capacity through
out the struggle.
After the war ended he decided to enter
the priesthood and took orders in the So
ciety of Jesus. After ordination he be-
came affiliated with the Pho Nino College
at Macon, and was subsequently chaplain
of the Sharon Asylum, at Washington,
Ga. During the past six years he had
been unable to continue his labors, and
had been a resident of New Orleans
Father Semmes:
I'm the death of the aged priest, the
church loses one of the ablest opponents
of its doctrines; the community one of
it's most intellectual men. A great reader
of books and a keen observer Father
Semmes was perhaps more familiar with
the history of the development of the
South, in which for years he had labored
than any other man.
HE was pous to a marked degree
spending his last days, with the know
edge that he was soon to die, in prayer
and meditation. The purity of his life
was an inspiration to all who knew him.
and his utter disregard for self and de-
votion to and sacrifice for others We're
fitting benediction to the career just clos

Their Semple of the Jesuits College, who
knew him well spoke of his splendid traits
of character and extolled his many vir-

the history Of the United States, and es-

of the South. He was ever devoted 10 study
and contemplation, and was conversant
with almost any topic. Father Semmes and
his brother, Judge Thomas J. Semmes
were greatly devoted TO each other and
sad feature of his death was that Judge
Semmes was not in the city when he died

Special Programme for Both the
Morning and Evening Services.
The dedication of the Beth-Eden Baptist
Church. colored, at Gordon and Lincoln
streets, yesterday, was a source Of much
pleasure and satisfaction to the congrega-
ton. The attendance was large at both
the morning and evening services, and the
programmes were appropriate for the
event
Rev NJ. W. Gilbert of Columbia, S. c.,
preached at the morning service and in
spired the congregation with the work It
had accomplished. He said the church
members had just reason for congratulate
ing themselves, as they had successfully
brought the church out of debt, and were
then formally delivering it to Gods SER
vice The jealous efforts the congrega-
ton had made, he said, was a distinction
which carried the highest praised and
honor. The evening sermon was preached
by Rev. e. NJ. Brawley.
The Beth-Eden Church is one of the
prettiest little buildings in the city. 1t
has good seating capacity, being con-
structed on the usual plan, with balconies,
which about doubles the capacity. The
church is built of req brick.

CATHEDRAL BIDS OPENED.
hut THE COMMITTEE TOOK NO
ACTION ON THEM.

After Discussing Different Phases of
the Proposed Work 1t Was Decided
to Consult the Architect, Who win
Be Asked Here From baltimore.
Indications Are That the Contract
VIII BE Awarded soon.
A meeting of the Cathedral building com
mittee was held at the residence of Bishop
Becker last night, for the purpose of open
ing bids for the rebuilding of the burned
edifce. The committee was well repre-
scented, but after opening the bids and cx-
aiming them it was decided to defer ac-
ton until later.
1t is understood no action will be taken
for the reason the committee desires 10
know Just what portions of the walls now
standing can be used in the new structure.
There is evidently a feeling that the old
walls should be torn away, which is
strengthened by the fact that some OF the
bidders prefer this Nothing definite has
apparently been determined upon in this
regard, however, and will not be for some
time
Mr.. Baldwin, of the firm of Baldwin &
Pennington of Baltimore, the architects in
charge, will be invited to Savannah at
once. The object of the committee In do
ing this is to have conference with him
as to the best course to pursue about the
walls. Mr.. Baldwin was here some time
ago for the purpose of examining the twin
spires. While he expressed the opinion,
a a ~, In OF that be would
stand, still, he said, time was the best
test. Since the spires have stood against
the storm, 1t is doubtless safe to assume
that they are perfectly substantial, and
are probably about as good as could be
put up in their places. There are num-
Der of other things about which the COM
mittee wishes to confer with Mr.. Baldwin,
however, and as IL is considered about
time the rebuilding should commence. he
will likely be requested to be here within
the next few days.
The details of the proposed structures
have already been published in the Morn
ing News. Modern improvements will be
used throughout the building, which will
be erected on an absolutely fire-proof ba-
sis. There will be considerable iron and
stone work, while the roof will probably
be of metal.
to give out anything concerning the bids
just now" said Capt John Flannery.
"They were all opened, however. and the
committee discussed the different PROPOSE
tons, but before any action is taken on
any of them it is desired to consult with
the architects. They will be shown the
bids, and after they go over the plans
with us their advice will be asked as TO
the best course to pursue. The commit
tee is DESTROYS of getting everything in
shape to let the contract, and it is hoped
this will be done in the next few weeks"
Capt Flannery said it is the desire OF
the committee to have nothing further
published, so that the contractors and the
amounts of their bids may not be dis
closed for some time. Among the bidders,
however, is the firm of Miles & Bradt,
who built the court house and the new
public building, and whose bid has been
accepted for the construction of the house
drainage system.

TYBEE's BRILLIANT METEOR.
1t Appeared to Explode and Drop

A meteor Of unusual brllllaucy passed
over the city last night and 20 those who
saw it from Tybee it appeared to drop into
Catalogue sound, near the wreck of the
Norwegian bark Noe. about five miles
north of the island.
The exact time of the passage OF the
meteor was 1923 o'clock. IT was seen by
many people in the city, but in the coun-
try away from the electric lights Its brill
Hancy was more marked. To those VINO
saw It from the forthcatious and the Sig
nal station on Tybee 1t came from the
west over Fort Pulaski. It's flight occu-
pied about ten seconds and ended in an
explosion, and the disappearance of the
fragments, of the me teor on the sound, as
il appeared to those who saw it,
The explosion sounded like the firing of
a cannon at some distance. The meteor
separated into three blazing masses, one
disappeared and the others followed a sec
ond later. The entire sound and the north
beach of Tybee was Illuminated by the
brilliant object To those who saw Il
when ii appeared in the sky II was appa-
rently about the size of a pumpkin Its
passage was a striking and imposing
sight. The sentries and night laborers on
the Notifications watched Il almost from
its appearance. The light It gave was
a blush tinge and was brilliant in the ex-
IRENE. While the meteor appeared to drop
inlo Catalogue sound, il is not improba-
bic that 1t went long distance out.

SHE SERVED HER GOD.
Father Eeiley's Simple Tribute to
Sister nj. Ignatius.


AS the convent bell was tolled by one of
the Sisters with whom she had been long
associated in deed of mercy to mankind
the body Of Sister NJ. Ignatius was yes
terday afternoon borne from the chapel
OF the convent on Liberty street, passing
between two lines Of members of the or
der, each bearing a lighted candle.
The body lay in black cloth coffin, the
lid of which was concealed by floral
crosses and other emblems that gave
some slight insight into the love and es-
TEEN in which she was held in the world
beyond the convent where day after day
she had been the instrument of acts of
charity and relief TO suffering humanity.
The services were brief but exceedingly
impressive. Rev. Father Kelley officia ted,
assisted by several of the clergy. A num-
Der of those who had known the deceased
intimately were present.
All of the Sisters were in the chapel.
Father Keiley'e remarks were simple but
beautiful and appropriate. Before them,
said he, lay one Of whom it was but need
ed TO say, "She served God" This Is the
grandest praise, the highest tribute that
can be paid to any one.
To have served God is to have realized
the noblest ambition OF life, to have reach
ed out for the purest ideal existence. For
fifty years and more Sister Ignatius had
been in religion. AS Sister of Charity
her daily life had pictured her sincere
devotion to her obligations. With strong,
simple faith and resolute tenacity she had
chung to her God with answering fidelity
TO the end. No trials, doubts, difficulties,
yexations or Weaknesses could shake her
absolute devotion to duty. She realized
the responsibilities resting on her and met
them fully and faithfully 10 the limit OF
her human capacity and endurance
All of the Sisters followed the body to
the grave, where the usual committal ser
vices Of the church were held. In the
morning there was solmen requiem
mass celebrated by Father Kelley.

IN THE CHURCH's DEBT.
Rev. DR.. SchncfFer Preached on What
It Owes the World.

II Owes the World.
Rev. w. c. Schaeffer, d. D., preached
at the Lutheran Church Of the Ascension
last night on what the church owes the
world The text was from Romans, ia:
Il am debtor, both to the Greeks and
the Barbarians; both to the wise and the
unwise."
THE church of Jesus Christ is not in
the world by chance" DIR. Schaeffer said
Christ meant for the church to be a SUI
preme factor in extending his cause
among men. He brought a message from
heaven, and committed IL to the church TO
proclaim. That message is the power Of
God unto salvation, and il is put in the
custody OF the church. The prime duty of
the church is to offer to and
press upon the world this great saliva.
ton
THE church owes the world the plain
and earnest preaching of the gospel. This
is its first duty TO the world and saliva
ton is the supreme end for which Christ
came to the world. The church is en-
riched by Christ with great treasures.
The church owes the world an example
of Christian consistency. This example
is concrete preaching. The church also
owes the world an earnest personal effort
for the salvation Of men. He that win
meth souls is wise. Let him know that he
who converteth sinner for the error Of
his way. shall save a soul from death
and shall hide multitude of sins"
