WILL HAVE BEGINNERS, NIGHTS.
Camera Clubs Move for NOvices in
Photography.

The Savannah Camera Club decided last
night to inaugurate a series of Beginners
Nights for the benefit Of those members Of
the club who are novices In photography.
The club holds its regular meetings every
other Wednesday night the second and
fourth IN each month. During the next
few months the intervening Wednesday
nights viii be devoted to beginners IN
photography. Next week Mr.. B. F. App.e,
president of the club, Dr. w. +. Aiken,
Mr.. Herman c. Shuptrine and MIR. Paul
NJ. Bryan win give short talks on the FIRST
things to be learned in Photographic work.
These talks. Il is believed. viii tend 70
popularze the club and win induce many
10 take up amateur photography, who are
anxious to do so, bur are reluctant because
of a lack Of opportunity for instruction.
The members of the Ladies Auxiliary
will be invited to the Be
ginners' Nights, and an effort
viii be made TO make these occasions
features of the clubs life. The talks win
be on taking pictures, developing the
Plates. fixing and printing; in fact, what
ever the beginner in photography wants
10 know. 1t is probable that the talks will
be illustrated and practical demonstra-
tons of the work will be given.
Another feature that the club has I'M
dertakeni is series of members excur-
sions Two excursions have already been
made to Charleston, and the next viii
probably be to some point near Savan-
nah The idea of these excursions Is to
bring the members together in their work
and to secure the most interesting pictures
that are obtanable. The plan is to make
the Camera Club a Savannah institution
On the walls of its club room are now
many excellent pictures made by mem
bers of the Club. Il is the purpose to add
more pictures of Savannah and it's sur
rounding scenery-characterist pictures
that viii interest both members and Wis
itors.
A studio is soon TO be built as an addi-
ton TO the club building. and will be
equipped with everything needed for por-
trait photography. The matter is in the
hands Of committee of the club, and the
addition Will be made during the summer
or early fail.
The club took steps last night TO be-
come Incorporated, and an application for
incorporation viii be made at once to the
Superior Court.

TRAINED NURSES GRADUATE.
Exercises of MoI<ane school at Sec
ond African Baptist Church.

The graduating exercises of McKane
Hospital and Training School for Nurses
were held at the Second AfricSh Baptist
Church. on Green square at 40 O'Clock
yesterday afternoon. The friends OF the
hospital had turned out in large numbers
and the church was filled.
The school this year graduated three OF
its pupils, who have pursued the course OF
prescribed study for the past two sessions
and concluded it with distinction. Ihese
received their diplomas from the hands OF
President A. L. Tucker of the board of
trustees. An interesting programme OF
music and song, interspersed with the
reading of letters and short talks from
the members Of the board. was rendered,
and the audience enjoyed 1t greatly.
The address to the graduates was made
by Rev. J. j. Durham and was Well
conceived. weIl-rendered and thoroughly
sensible talk. He told his audience that
the spirit of the age demanded skilled
workers and that for them men of the age
were always willing TO pay. In every
trade, in all of the useful arts, the man
who had been taught to use his hands
was in demand and could command lv-
ing wage, while those who had Jagged be-
hind the march Of progress were compell-
ed TO toll harder and receive less. Teach
the young men and the young women Of
the negro race trades and occupations,
make them skilled workers in the useful
arts, and they have recourse then 10
which they can turn and never in vain. A
man can't be true man, or a woman a
true woman if he or she is dependent en-
tirely upon the exertions of some one else.
Independence-a true and honest indpend-
ence-is the badge OF manhood and woman
hood, and l exhort the young men of my
race 10 acquire some useful occupation
that win make them their own masters in
the best sense of the word"
The AfcKane Training School for Nurses
has been established six years, and three
years ago hospital was added. The work
that it has been and is doing should re-
ceive hearty encourag cement, though it is
greatly hampered a present by the need
OF funds for Improvement. 1t is the de-
sire of the trustees to enlarge the present
building al Sixth and Florence streets so
that il will accommodate forty patients
and afford in consequence clinical in
struction for a larger number of pros
pective nurses.
1t is purely a charity, and no one con-
nected with it, with the exception OF the
matron receives any salary AS one of the
means through which the training of the
negro race in useful arts Is being carried
on, it should commend itself to the atten-
ton of those phianthropists who are look
ing for a worthy charity upon which TO
lavish their wealth
At the graduating exercises letters from
Mayor Myers and Alderman Thomas were
read, in which they express regret that
the meeting of Council would not permit
their attendance, and in which the work
of the training school and hospital was eX-
toned The letter Of the Mayor was an
especially gracious one.

M'GARvEY's TRIAL TODAY.

Tried the Insanity Dodge, But 1t
Was Too Thin.
The trial of Tom McGarvey FOR the kill
ing Of George Hawkins viii come up in
the Superior Court to-day. The killing oc-
cured on the morning of June 10, in the
house in Congress street lane near Haber-
sham, where McGarvey lived with Haw-
kins aud his wife.
The killing is supposed to have been the
result Of a drunken quarrel. as both men
had been drinking heavily since early
morning. There were no witnesses to the
tragedy, the two men being alone. Haw-
kins stated before his death, however
that McGarVey had cut his throat with an
old razor. The weapon was found upon
McGarvey when he was arrested.
1t is not known what line of defense viii
be pursued by McGarvey's attorneys 1t
was al first thought that the plea of in
sanity would be made. and had McGarvey
been content TO leave the matter 10 his at
torneys this would have In ali probable
ity been the plea. Instead of doing this,
however, he undertook to work an insan-
ity dodge on his own account, pretending
not TO recognize the physician. DR.. M. T.

two after the killing, and otherwise con-

MADE ANCILLARY RECEIVER.
Judge speer Appoints w. X. Wilson
to Gather Assets of Defunct Co.


Judge speer's appointment of w. K
Wilson as ancillary receiver of the virtual
ly defunct Fidelity Trust and Loan
Company of Mobile, was filed yesterday
in the office of the clerk of the United
States Circuit Court. The appointment
was made upon the application of Joachim
r. Manofita of New Orleans.
The original petition in the case was
filed in the Circuit Court for the southern
district of Alabama, and in this proceeding
Mr.. Wilson was made temporary and per-
manent receiver. 1t became necessary
that ancillary proceedings should be in
slituted in the districts of the various
states in the South in which the company
did business, and the one filed yesterday
is one of these ancillary suits. Sixteen of
them have been begun. The original ap-
plication for a receiver was sanctioned by
Judge Harry r. Toulmin, in Mobile, and
the other petitions for receivers are for
the purpose of enforcing The orders of the
court in states where 1t has not turlsdic-
ton, by making them the orders of those
courts that have.
The litigation between Manorita and the
company would seem 10 be friendly and
for the purpose of protecting The interests
of the majority stockholders against the
exorbitant demands of those of

Mississippi, whose Supreme Court has
rendered decision under which its citi-
zens would seem 10 get a larger proper

titled to receive and certainly more than

in that state against The company have
become alarmingly frequent and the COM

Many buyers We're at the Govern
ment Sale of Condemned Property.
A sale OF quartermaster supplies was
held yesterday morning at the government
warehouse at Bay and Randolph streets.
IT began at 10 O'Clock and closed at 2
O'Clock. Auciioneer McElree had the
hammer going. and his sales were fast.
and brought very good returns.
The property sold had been inspected
and condemned and was, therefore. mark
ed Il. G." The total of sales has not vet
been footed up, but il Is said il must have
been from $4,000 TO $4,000 Tents. cots
cooking utensils, stable equipment sad
dies, brides and many other things were
sold.
Hospital tents brought anywhere from
y up 70 $3.50, the price depending largely
upon the number Ia the patches that were
sold. When the tents are new they cost
the government about SO each. The halves
Of shelter tents went at or cents each
Everything went at pretty much the inc
low rate, though the officials regarded the
prices as very good for condemned stuff.
Buyers We're present from a wide ex-
panse OF territory. Men from ST. Louis.
Cincinnati and Washington bought, and Il
Is thought other large cities were repre-
sented. Besides those men, VINO were rem
resentatives Of large junk buyers. there
were many Savannah ians and persons
from this section. IL is said those who
bought extensively in order 90 sell the
stuff again Will realize good profits. Tents
OF other property NOT in the best condition
may be fixed up a bit and made very SER
Nleeable. When that is done the buyers
can dispose OF chem to great advantage.
