analyzing OF the characters of some of
the worlds greatest men is sometimes
more wonderful than romance and more
captivating than fiction. 1t is the inten-

best speakers possible for the series and
good music will be aimed at.
The subject for tomorrow afternoon

BotI, Meetings - Time of the Pres

Savannah From 81. Mary's-Topics
of the Pastors To-day In Savannah
Churches.
Two important meetings for the Presby-
terrain ministers OF Savannah viii be hello
next month. One will be that Of the sa-
vannah Presbytery, which will convene
Nov. II, at ST. Mary's, and will be pre-
sided over by Rev. w. A. Nisbet of Sa-
vannah. Rev. DIR. Fair. pastor of the In
dependent Church, and Rev. Arthur ].
Smith, pastor of the First Church. viii
also attend. DR.. Fair is q, member of the
presbytery and also Of the Synod of Geor-
gia, although his church is Independent,
belonging to neither of these bodies. When
DR. Fair was engaged he expressly stipu-
lated that he would sever none of his
general church relations.
The Savannah Presbytery embraces a
number of counties contiguous to Savan-
nah and its territory The meetings are
always we'll attended, as the church Is
strong in this section. The meeting this
year was arranged to fan right before that
OF the synod of the state, which will take
place on the following Thursday after the
presbytery meeting. The synod win meet
at Thomasville. 1t was desired to have
the meeting of the presbytery before that
of the synod, in order that the ministers
might go from the one to the other WITH
out having to come back home between
the tws
There are about $50 lay and clerical
members of the synod but there is seldom
as large a number as that in attendance.
il is expected that there will be about
l25 members at the Townsville meeting.
Rev. j. NJ. Patton Of Decatur will preach
the opening sermon as retiring moderator,
after which the synod will go into a
business session and elect his successor,
who will preside over the synod.
Last year the synod met at Rome, and
the meeting was attended by the Savan-
nah ministers. 1t is not known where il
viii meet next year, but it will not be
brought to Savannah as there is always
something of a contest for the honor OF
having the body meet at city, and Sa.
vannahis time has not yet rolled around
for the synod. 1t was only a few years
ago that it met here.
The reports of the several presby terie:
of the state are received at the meeting
of the synod, the presbyteries having al
ready received the reports of the churches
comprised within their territory Home
and foreign missionary work is consider
ed as well as other general matters
relating to the conduct of the Presbyter'
ian Church.

EEL KILLS A CAT.
A Duel which Forever Put an End
to "a Cats Fish Stealing.
From the New York sun.

From the New York Sun.
In Central Park West lives man whose
pride is fountain which gurgles in the
center of his conservatory. In the sunken
marble basin of the fountain swim many
curious fishes and an eel two feea long, as
slender as carriage whip and black as the
master of evil. There is nothing remark
able about the physical aspect of the eel,
nor does il belong to any unique anguilli-
form tribe. but it is the hero Of one of the
most singular duels ever fought by the
creatures of land or water.
'Squirms, as the children call him." said
the gentleman, referring TO the eel, lis
very .docles and seems to know the several
members of my family. He will nibble
bits of FISH food from the children's hands,
and invariably acknowledges their pres
ence by a series of maneuvers which he
never practices at other times.
"Squirms' tameness nearly cost him his
life few days ago and indirectly brought
TO an abrupt close the entire outfit of ex-
istences of a pet Maltese cat. The cat in
question dearly loved fish, and was hover
ing around the basin of the fountain when
ever the opportunity offered. Several of
such opportunities she improved to pur-
loin a dainty and much-coveted morsal

chastised; and guard was placed over
the conservatory to prevent repetbtons.
But she could not conquer her appetite
and as often as vigilance was relaxed in
she slipped and generally secured a finny
prize before detected.
Twice l caught her in the act, and it
was curious to watch her clever method
Of fishing, although it involved the loss Of
my valuable pets. She would hang over
the edge of the basin and dip her paw an
inch below the surface of the water. In
stantly a commotion would ensue The
fish would dart hither and thither with
every manifestation of alarm. But as the
cat remained moiionless throughout the
disturbance confidence was soon restored
and the usual condition of repose again
resumed its sway. Puss would keep her
paw hanging in the water without a quiv-
er for three or four minutes Gradually
the presence of an unknown substance
would attract the beguiled fish, for they
are as inordlnately curious as any land
animal. Nearer and nearer they would
swim UNTIL thoroughly convinced of the
harmlessness of the rigid paw, they al
most rubbed against it. That was what
puss evidently expected, and, like a fash
the treacherous paw would elinch a too
adventuresome fish, crowd him against
the inner wall of the basin and draw him
out with remarkable dexterity. The next
move of the cat was to beat a retreat with
the spolls between her teeth, to be dis
cussed at leisure and in seclusion.
But puss's day of retribution was at
hand. About ten days ago / heard an
agouizing yowl issuing from the conserva-
tory, and surmlsing that the pilfering cat

One Wall of st. Philips Monumental
Church Restored in Week.
The work on ST. Philips Monumental
Church made remarkable progress last
week. Beginning Monday morning, the
whole west wall, which was crushed by
the falling steeple, has been rebuilt up to
the top of the FIRST story, ready for the
sieepers and joists. Every dollar of the
cost was paid as the work went along.
Members and friends floelxed around the
workmen and handed them bricks. on each
brick they laid a piece of money, which
went 10 the trustees, while the brick went
into the wall Amounts ranging from one
cent to 81 were thus realized while the
work went on.
Rev A. A. Whitman, pastor of the
church. says that the white people have
not thus far come to his aid. He is a Ken
tuckiau, and is accustomed to seeing white
people interest themselves in all work
among the colored people. Some few are
coming 10 his relief. and he looks for more.
During the present week he is TO PUT in
the sleepers and joists for the main floor
of the church, and he purposes to pay
an the COSTS as he goes. In order to do
this he has arranged a unique service for
