RECEPTION TO THEIR PASTOR.



"A reception was rendered Rev. and Mrs
John D. Jordan by the ladies of the First
Baptist Church last night in the church
lecture room. The occasion was the first
anniversary of the pastorate of Mr.. Jor-
dan. sAs
There was a large attendance, and the
affair was in every way a success. An
admirable programme had been arranged
by a committee of9young ladies, and it
was rendered in manner that did credit
TO their Judgment in the selection of those
who had been invited to entertain.
Selections by gramophone and music
box were heard with pleasure. A recitation
by Miss JAMIE Shuptrine was among the
most successful of the numbers of the pro-
gramme, and her success was shared With
Miss Rosalind Wood and Miss Gladys Gil
rardeau, WHO also recited.
A quartette, consisting of Mrs Miller.
Mrs. Silva and the Misses Morgan, rem
dering a Lullaby" was literally applaud
ed, the audience showing the appreciation
the melody deserved. Another selection,
There's One That l Love Dearly" was
also sung charminglyo by the quartette.
Miss Augusta Wood also sang very sweet
ly.
An address was made by Rev. DIR. James
d. Chapman, pastor of the Duffy Street
Baptist Church. This was well received, the
congratulatory things said by the pastor
of the sister church being particularly

UNIFORMS WILL NOT BE READY.
Police VIII Have to Wear Their Old
Clothes a While Longer.

OiOtues a. w mic Longer.
The police uniforms have been delayed.
and will not be ready for the department
May 1, as the contract provides Orders
for government uniforms have been given
the manufacturers, with the understand
ing they are to be gotten out at once,
which accounts for the delay In getting
out the police uniforms. The uniforms
may be finished by the middle of the pres
ent month, though it may even be longer
than this before they will arrive.
Warm weather is now sufficiently in
tense to make the police uncomfortable
The thought of wearing heavy, winter
clothes the middle of May, and possibly
TO June, is very unpleasant and adds much
to the woes of the bluecoats life. 1t is
not believed by the authorities that the
uniforms will be delayed longer than May
15 but even if finished that soon, several
hot days VIII intervene to make the po-
lice uncomfortable.
Had IL not been for the unexpected rush
on account of the war uniforms the po-
lice would have donned their new clothes
yesterday. While the disappointment can
not be helped, still the hitch in getting
them here is unfortunate for the men,
who fully expected to be in readiness for
warm weather when 1t came.

WAITING TO BE POSTMASTER.

Mr.. Blum Looking for His COnfirmn-
ton Every Day.
Postmaster Haines' term of four years
has expired, but he is still in charge.
1t was expected that the appointment of
Mr.. Henry Blum, Jr., which has been held
up in the Senate, would have been con-
.firmed in time for Him to assume the du-
ties of postmaster on the expiration of
Mr.. Haines commission, but it seems that
there is still some obstacle in the way of
his confirmation
1t is said that the potent force at work
against the Presidents appointee is ex-
Postmaster Doyle, who is fighting Mr.
Blum on the ground that he is not a Re-
publican. However. very reliable infor-
nation from Washington is to the effect
that the Senate's confirmation has been
withheld simply for the purpose of letting
Postmaster Haines serve out his full term
If this is so it may be only a day or two
before the new postmaster receives his
commission.

the steamer Clifton.

The election for officers, which is always
an exciting occasion, will take place Wed
nesday.
A low railroad fare, one fare for the
round trip, will doubtless secure a large
attendance of visiting Odd Fellows. In
addition to this the arrangement in regard
to hotel accommodations is an inducement
to visit Savannah.
