Puffy is too old and there is too much of
him to go to the war, but he never loses

restaurant menu the other day. Say, wait

d. Gambler club of Chatham county will
hold a meeting at the court house to-
night at $3.50 o'clock. Hon. Pope Barrow
is chairman of the committee and Col.
Merritt w. Dixon Is vice chairman.
The meeting has been called to consider
plans for the @imary of June 6, which Is
now close at hand. On that day. delegates
TO the state gubernatoriaI convention are
to be elected. There will be no voting for
delegates, however. but the votes will be
cast directly for the candidate for Gov
ernor and other state house officers. A
county executive committee Will also be
chosen, which, under the recent agree
nlent between the executive committees of
the two contending factions, will be COM
posed of twelve members from each fac
ton, and this committee will select the
delegates to tho state convention In ac-
cordance with the vote cast. If Col.
Gambler receives the largest vote in this
county, the Delegates selected by the
committee will all be Gambler men, and so
in the cases where there are other con-
testing candidates.
The executive committee tonight will
probably take into consideration the mat
ter of selecting managers to represent
the Gambler faction In the primary. Hon.
F. G. duBignon is expected to return to the
city to-day, and Il is probable final ar
engagements for the primary will be made
within few days. Only white Democratic

be used

The Savannah Knights will make fine
appearance in the prize drills, in which
they propose to participate. Capt George
Witte, OF Teutonia Company, drilled his
men last night, and Is making every effort
to get them in shape for the contests. AS
for the other companies that will go, there
is not an assurance they will enter the
field. They are well drilled, but 1t is pos
sible that they will not be of sufficient nu-
merical strength TO enter.
The Knights and their friends will prob
ably return to Savannah Saturday.

CHRIST cHuRoH's RESTORATION.
Impressive Services VIII Mark Its
ReOpcning for worship.


Christ Church will be re-opened Sunday
with impressive services. The members
have been anxlously awaiting the an
nouncement that they could again wor-
ship in their own church, and the prospect
is a source of genuine pride to them.
Definite arrangements for the services
have not yet been made and probably
will not be until about Friday. A special
committee consisting of Rev. Robb White
and Mr.. B. f. Finney has been appointed
to attend to the matter and will likely
complete the arrangement by that time.
The programme will consist of two ser
vices, one In the forenoon, which will be
attended by the congregation generally,
and one In the afternoon, which Will be
especially for the young people of the
church, Both services win be character
lied by Rejoicing. and thanks for the
restoration of the church.
Bishop Nelson viii participate In the
service, as Will the rector, Rev MIR. White.
A better time could not have been selected
for the opening, as il viii give large num-
bers of the clergy to witness the initial SER
vice in one Of the finest churches in Geor-
gia. They are here attending the diocesan
convention, and, It il believed, will remain
over day for this purpose. There win
be a number of other strangers In the city,
some of whom will be here from Charles
ton to take part in the musical pro-
gramme
As compared with the former church,
for the changes amount practically to an
entirely new edihce, as viewed from the
interior, there is not a great deal of re-
semblanee. Costly and elaborate improve
ments have been made throughout, some
of which embrace advantages had by but
few churches in the state. Among these
are the superb chancel decorat tons, which,
unfortunately, will not be completed sun
day, however. Then the Bishop Elliott
memorial window, now in place, presents
a magnificent figure of Christ, and has
been commented on by many as almost
comparing fayorably in it's beautiful
effects with an oil painting. Another adj
dition is the organ, which has been obtain

STRIPES THAT CARRY HoNoRS.
YEARS OF SERVICE MARKED ON
POLICEMEN's COAT SLEEVES.

Sergts. Lingg and KiIIOurhy Have
Been Three Decades on the Force
and Private O'Keefe Has Worn the
Blue a Quarter OF a Century-Lfeut.
Reilly, Sergt. Floyd and PatroImen
McQuade and BrantIey the Tyven-
ty-Year Men-The Bicycle squad in
Summer Uniform.
With the new summer uniforms the
police have just donned appear a remark
ably large number of service stripes on
the sleeve, indicating five years service.
Several of the men have recently become
entitled TO this distinction.
Two of the force, Sergts. LIngg and
Killourhy, have six stripes each, each in
dicating thirty years continuous service.
Those having five stripes for treading the
police divisions a quarter of a century,
are not so numerous, there being only one
in the person of Keeper O'Keefe of the
station house. The four stripes, or TWEEN
ty year men, are Lieut. Reilly. Sergt.
Floyd, Policemen McQuade and Brantley.
Three stripes are worn by sergts. Mock,
| Baughn. Davis, Patrolman Clayton and
Quartermaster Jack Arnold There are
about forty on the force having the dis
tinction of wearing stripes that have been
gained only by faithful and continuous
service In the department.
Besides the regular uniforms came the
bicycle uniforms, the departure the COM
nissioners have been considering some
time, but are just now putting into effect.
Policeman Charles Mock, who keeps
watch on Bull street during the day, was
bedecked in knickerbockers, blue waist
coat and small neatly fitting cap, which
comprises the uniform. The idea is to
place the bicycle in more comfortable and
convenient apparel for performing their
dulles which would be much more oner-
Gus IL the old-time fatigue uniform worn
by other police was adhered to. quicker
work can now be done, and If the squad,
comprising three policemen at present,
give chase for any one, it's dollars to
doughnuts that only the best of seorchers
need attempt to get away.
Chief McDermott has not yet fully de-
termned how he will arrange the squad
as to divisions until it is seen just how
things will work. Pretty good time can
be made, however, and policeman can
now easily cover a much larger territory
of course, than when on foot.
The advantages, on the other hand, are
manifold. The officers are now enabled
to "catch thief in many instances where
they could not have done so before. An
other important duty which the force will
undertake will be stopping horses where
their speed is not too dangerous. One of
the squad has already succeeded in doing
an effectual piece of work in this direction
and which might have done great damage
except for the timely interference.
on account of the character of work the
squad will be expected 10 do, only the
paved streets Will of course, be used, the
limited number of which accounts for the
fact that only three men are used at
present in this service. 1t is believed when
there are an additional number of paved
streets, however, the force will be In
creased until the bicycle squad will be
equal to, If not superior in numbers, to
the mounted squad
