ing was thought of his conduct
After awhile 1t was decided to arrest
Rhodes and search his house. He was ar
rested Thursday night, and was arraigned
in Police Court yesterday morning, but
as the house had not been searched and it
was desired to inves tigate further. the
case was continued. Mr.. Strong called at
the barracks during the afternoon, and
in company with Chief McDermott. had
a lengthy talk with Rhodes for the pur-
pose of finding out something about the
theft.
Now. tell us just what you have taken
from the church William" Mr. Strong
asked.
"A man in my condition cannot remem-
Der so well, you know, but to the best of
my recollection, 1 think 1 took about
four" he replied.
He admitted having, taken the stereop-
ucon, and as so many books were miss
ing, the detectives determined to search
the house. This was done, and small
cart-load of books, many bound in calf
and morocco, were taken to the barracks
in the large box containing them and
dumped in the chiefs office. Among the
first books in the box was Maj. Jones'
Courtship." In 1t appeared the name.

back some time. There was a lot of
Mr.. Strong's private papers and many
curios he collected on his tour abroad in
1872 II is not thought all have been re-
covered, however, as Rhodes did a large
business with the pawn shops.
The negro received a salary of SOS per
month from the church and has been there
about eighteen months. He came to Sa-
vannah from Ellerbee, Ga, where he was
a school teacher. He is said to be we'll
educated and read considerably, as might
be inferred from his desire for books. Be
ing a member of many societies and insur-
ance orders, it is thought they pressed
him for money, constantly calling for him
at the church, In cases where he did not
have the money, he would take book to
the pawn shop and raise the money In that
manner There was nothing TO prevent
his taking most anything from the church
as he had keys to every department

NO GALA WEEK LIKELY.
PASSENGER AGENTS DECLINED TO
GIVE LOW ENOUGH RATES.

Merchants Disappointed over the
Failure of Their EROrts-An At
tempt to Obtain Conference
With the Railway Authorities In
effectuaI.
1t is probable that there will be no gala
week this year. the failure of the South
ern Passenger Association to allow a suf-
ticiently low rate for the week having
made it very doubtful if the occasion could
be made a success.
The merchants, who had confidently cal
culated upon securing such a rate were
very much disappointed.
Mr.. Joseph Rosenheim. who presided
over the meeting held at the De Soto sew
eral weeks ago to take the initial steps in
arranging for the gala week, stated to a
Morning News reporter yesterday that he
had been in correspondence with Traffic
passenger Manager Wrenn of the Plant
system and General Freight Agent Mac
Donell of the Florida. Central and PENN
sular in the effort to secure a conference
with these gentlemen here for the purpose
OF making further effort to obtain the de-
ever, that they would be unable to he here
before the latter part of this month This
Will be too late for the purposes Of the
merchants, Mr.. Rosenheim said, as it was
desired to have the gala week in April
and there would not be sufficient time, even
IL the rates should be secured, which Is by
no means certain, to make all the arrange
ments necessary Tor a successful celcbra-
ton.
H. Walter Webb, manager of the New
York Central Railway, passed through the
city yesterday with a family party on the
private car Marquita, bound for Thomas
vile.

Y. Nj. c. AS WON INA WALK.
Defeated the Catholic Library Boys
by Score of tOI.

by Score of o to 1.
The record for close scores in the asso-
citation league was broken last night when
the, Y. NJ. C. A. team fairly walked away
from the Library boys. winning on a score
of to 1. 1t was the fastest played game
OF the season, lasting but Atty minutes.
The whole credit for the winning of the
game is due to Thompson, the Y. NJ. c. A. 5
crack pitcher, and the great backstop work
of Hopkins. Thompson was simply invnci-
Bile. He gave the finest exhibition of lltoh-
ing ever seen in an indoor game in Savan-
nah. He was hit safe but once and this
was by the first man who came to bat. lie
struck out fifteen men and gave no bases
on balls, and during the entire game but
three men reached first base This is o re-
markable record. and one that will hardly
be equalled, even by the young pitcher
himself
Hopkins caught beautiful game. He
missed the third strike twice, but one time
succeeded In redeeming himself by catch
ing the runner as he attempted to score.
On foul tips he was a sure thing.
The Library boys started off with a
rush. Winters, the first man up, got a
MT ana made the circuit or the bases,
This was the only opportunity the Lii
brary rooters had to applaud. Ii was we'll
they accepted it, but had they known
what was in store for them it is doubtful
If they would have had the heart to cheer
For the next eight innings not a safe hit
was made. Once a c. L. A. man sue
ceeded in reaching third only to be put
out at home. Another time Horrigan
got as far as second base, but there he
died. The whole secret of the trouble
was that the Library boys could not
hit Thompson. This however, was trou-
bic enough.
/. Aside from their work with the stick,
the Library boys played a good game.
Horrigan was hit freely, and the fielders
had plenty of work. They were kept busy
chasing hits and looking after the bases,
and only two errors are charged against
them.
The Y. NJ C. A. ielders had practically
nothing to do, thanks to the excellent work
of their battery. Twenty of the twenty
four put outs were made by Hopkins.
While the game was extremely one-sided
1t was also interesting, due to the quick
and snappy playing of both sides. The
game was never In doubt after the fourth
inning, however as the Library boys
seemed to wilter under the terrible de-
livery of Thompson
The crowd was the largest that has wit
messed any of the games. The entire alb
sence of kicking was a pleasant feature of
the game
The result puts the three clubs tied, each
having won and lost two games.
The score follows.

Hopes Prisoner of Zenda" in Savannah

The story Of 1.-THE Prisoner Of Zenda,"
as every one knows who has read Anthony
Hopes entertaining novel, or seen the play,
relates how young Englishman Travelled
to distant Ruritania to witness the coro-
nation of an Eiphberg, distant cousin, to
whom in the course IF hereiicy he bore a
striking resemblance, that when the op-
portunity to act in his place was offered,
the Englishman did SO With small fear OF
detection That the to-1e monarch became
a victim of his appetite for drink, und the
dupe of an envious cousin-a black Elph-

is A DOG LIKE HIS MASTER.
Hounds, POOdIes, MongreIs and the
Characterization OF Their Owners.

From the Lewiston (Me) Journal
You've heard how much a man is like
his shoes. But did you ever think how
much a man is like his dog? Or how much
a dog resembles I is master If you prefer.
For instance, the driver of the Sabatis ex-
press came in the other day with a brown
curly fur coat on, and Struggled close up
TO him, on the seat on the pung was a
curly brown spaniel, his wagging tail be-
speaking his happy disposition. Now
you'd know right away that the sabatis
express driver is a jolly, happy go-lucky
sort of chap, who would go through wa
ter to do his duty
Then there's a tall, weil-bred man on
Main street-you know who he is perhaps
refined and quiet in his tastes, and what
dog does he choose? A slim, high-bred
greyhound, graceful and 1.-the as a SER
pent, his bright eyes showing an intelli-
gence far beyond the ordinary yaller dog.
Then there is a stylish woman in Lew
iston, who is also beautiful, albeit a fine
line of scorn lifts her upper lip. Her pet
is a silk poodle, who breathes defiance in
every ill-natured zip, but who Is in his
best moments a well-behaYed little animal
with catchy tricks.
A jolly, chunky man who crosses the
North bridge every day has a follower
faithful as as hadow. A fat-bodied, short
legged little black mongrel whose merry
little feet twinkle along over the snow,
ana VINO answers every word With q ro-
guish cast of his eye.
OF course there are occasions where a
tall man owns a short nosed pug, but you
don't know the particular trait hidden I'M
der the exteriors which connect these two.
A certain dog in Lewiston having stolen
a bone from a butchers cart and having
eaten what he could at the time. buried
1t, and went away. Fearing lest some
other dog should get it he returned. dis
Inferred It. and buried IL In another Mace
doing this three times, and finally eating
the remainder of 1t, thus making sure of
it. We won't say anything about the
character of this dogs owner.
But the funny dog IL the Howe street
dog who, knowing the family 10 be fond
of the immense cat, makes it a point to
worship the poor feline on every possible
occasion He insists on doing near her;
when she walks abroad he follows close
ly, and where she in despair tries to enter
some other room he throws himself down
in the doorway and begs her not to hurry.
