NORFOLK 'SWELTERS.
OBSERVER GRAY LOOKS ON, BUT
AFFORDS NO RELIEF.

Norfolk sweltered Monday and and
again yesterday under a. scorching sun
and u heat very nearly, if not quite, as
oppressive as is expected in August.
The thermometer rose until it got ready
to take step. or beat n retreat, and
people whose business called them to
the streets made haste slowly where
shade could be found. and were not par
ticular as to their dress. In fact, few
looked as if they were sorry that 1t was
necessary to wear clothes. Negligee
clothing was at n premium and 1t was
worn as negligently as possible. Cool
ing drinks, electric aud other fans were
in demand, and there was run on soda
fountains and painted ice drinks of al
most every name and description. The
lean man was apparently the
only contented specimen of hui
manity to be seen. while
the fat man perspired and mopped. in

HAS THE GRAND DUCHESS.
PLANT SHIP AGAIN IN THE sAvAN-
NAH LINE.

VIII Run Between Savannah and
New YOrIx-WiH Leave New York
This Afternoon on Her First Trip.
Since Leaving the Savannah Line
She Has Been OverhauIed-Ac-
cepted by the Plant System-Dur-
ing the Summer Season She Ran
between Boston and Nova Scotia
POrts-Capt. HanIon stin In Com
mand.
The steamship Grand Duchess is again
to make regular trips to Savannah. She
viii sail from New York this afternoon on
the Ocean Steamship Company's Savannah
line and will hereafter have regular sail
ing dates from both ports.
For some time there has been specula-
ton as to what disposition the Plant peo-
pie would Snake Of their handsome yes
sci during the winter season. Their decls-
ion to place her again on the Savannah
Line enables a good many who have
thought the matter over to say, II told you
So" as it was predicted that this would
again be her run.
As was the case when she was on the
Savannah Line before, the Grand Duchess
will be differed by men selected by the
Plant people. Everything in connection
with the sailing and handling of the ship
will be under the direction of the Plant
System, the Ocean Steamship Company, it
is understood, securing the vessel for its
line on practically the same conditions as
formerly.
When the Duchess went on the run be-
fore she was perfectly new, having just
come from her builders at Newport News.
Capt. Hanlon was in command. and he
stii walks the quarter deck. Since then
work has been done on the ship that has
improved her greatly. She is in far bet
ter shape now and belongs to the Plant
System, which was not the case before,
as she had not come up to the require
ments made of her builders, and failed
in such particulars as coal consumption
and boiler adequacy to meet the specifica-
tons
A long trial Of the ship was made. One
thing or another served to prove conclus-
lively from time to time that she was all
right and the builders had to take her
in hand twice before she finally satisfied
her purchasers. She has how been accept
ed, and everything about her has been
made perfect
The Duchess was on the Pant Line be-
tween Boston and Nova Scotia ports dur
ing the summer season. That being over,
she was taken off and given an overhaul
ing. The yacht races were nearly at hand
by the time she was ready to leave the
dock. and was chartered for the races.
The Marconi wireless telegraphy was used
from the vessel as a sending station.
When the Grand Duchess was on the
Savannah Line before she was very pop
uiar. Passengers were particularly anx-
ious to sail on her, as she is conveniently
and beautifully appointed. 1t is believed
she will prove every bit as popular again.
1t is not known for what time the deal
win stand. Inquiry failed to develop the
date settled upon, if there has been any
such decision, for the return of the vessel
to the Plant System. 1t is reported that
the understanding is that the latter is to
take the ship whenever she is wanted.

PHOTOGRAPHER THE HEAVENS.
Camera Clubs Preliminary AstrO-
nOmicaI work.

A photograph of the eastern heavens
was taken last night by the Savannah
Camera Club, preliminary to the observa-
lions OF the November meteoric showers
to be made next week for the Harvard
College observatory The preliminary OBJ
servation was made under the direction
of Mr. Otis Ashmore, who will also direct
the observations on the nights of the me-
teoric displays.
Tomorrow night the full corps Of OBJ
servers will be organized and instructions
will be given as to their duties The prin-
cipal observations win be made between
midnight and dawn next Wednesday and
Thursday. Prepare tory observations will
be made Tuesday night and the observ-
ers viii be in readiness In case the stream
of meteors should begin in advance of the
time predicted by the Harvard astrono-
mers
Although there IS a difference among as
tronomers as 10 the date for the passing of
the meteors, the American astronomers
generally predict that the display will
reach It's maximum about / O'Clock Thurs
day morning.
The Instruments for the observations
have been practically completed and al
though some details are yet to be arranged
the adjustments are such that should the
meteors appear on short notice the OBJ
servers will be In readiness for them.
The observation last night was made
from the Park Extension, and although
the conditions of light and moisture were
not the most favorable, an excellent pho
tograph of the consultations and stars of
the eastern heavens was secured.
Great interest is being taken in the pro-
posed observations not only by members
of the Camera Club, but by scientific peo-
pie generally. And not only scientific peo-
pie, but nearly everybody is interested in
the coming of the great shower of mete-
ors, which, although its character is I'M
known, may equal or exceed in brilliance
the display of 1893, which was the most
brilliant known.

Celebrated by Luther League OF
Evangelical Church.

The Luther League of the Lutheran
Church of the Ascension celebrated the
birthday of Martin Luther at the Sunday
School room of the church last night. The
celebration was two days ahead of the
anniversary, but Rev. DR.. schaefer felt
that it was better 70 be too soon than
too late.
An interesting programme had been pre-
pared, consisting of vocal and instrument
tai solos and duets and Rotations, also
appropriate selections from the life and
work Of Luther.
The first number of the programme was
piano solo by Miss Gussie Hadsell. fol-
lowed by a short talk about Luther by Dr.
Schaeffer. There have been but few men
in the world, he said, of such might and
force as Martin Luther, and when
the amount and character Of his work
are considered 1t is safe to say that no
greater man ever lived; therefore ut is
proper that We who bear his name should
celebrate his birth"
After this Introduction by the pastor.
Miss Emma Tietjen read a sketch Of Luz
theirs life. Miss Annie Schroeder came
next with vocal solo, in which she was
accompanied by Miss Adline Entelman.
Then followed a more complete story Of
Luther read in sections by eight young la
dies, Misses Louise Lubs, Meta Monsees.
Annie Gibbons, Meta Doscher Annie Hob
versen, Annie Bridges, Annie Suffer, and
Emma Tietjen.
Prof. John Wiegand gave a plano solo
and in response TO a most enthusiastic en-
core played "On to Tybee March," one Of
his own compositions. The last number Of
the programme was a duet by Miss Schro-
der and Mr.. William Mcuveen, but it was
preceded by what was undoubtedly the
most enjoyable number of the evening, Mr..
J. F. B. Beckwith, VINO recited 1.-THE
Dream of Eugene Aram." He prefaced
the poem by a short sketch of the story by
which IL was inspired and during the reci-
tation kept his audience in spellbound ST.
lence. AT the close he was greeted with
perfect ovation.
Owing to the lateness of the hour other
numbers that were to be given had to be
omitted.
